[v13.5 Update | Itemfinder Fix, New Aevian Mon!, Etc]

There's a dynamaxed Vileplume hiding in dat garden...

 

Also, beautiful updates, as usual.

[One more package...]

Spoiler

Saki is the fake persona! She's actually Dahlia. Dahlia Blakeory! The true Scion of the Blakeories! Even her house in West Gearen resembles the house where the Interceptor loses their mind and crashes. They were friends with Dahlia. But Spacia and Tiempa interfered with her life, or death, and the result was the Crescent we know.

 

But it was not the Crescent that was meant to be.

 

So now Mysterious Figure #2 had to dispose of her. The name Freya is important. Saki was told this by a red-headed girl. Likely to help jog her memories or to hint at what when down in the Meira region.

 

Also, Crescent has pictures of all the Interceptors. They were her friends, but now only the Player remains.

 

Crescent learned the truth about whatever it is that Tiempa and Spacia changed by "saving her". And so she went rogue. She may not have even had all of Dahlia's memories. . .

 

That's the theory I cooked up just now. I don't see how else to interpret it: Saki is Crescent. They look VERY similar.

 

That is just age. Remember Crescent is older just like how Melia got older from her time with the Stormchasers. Same happened to Dahlia. Crescent is an older Saki with a flower instead of the bow, and hose instead of stockings.

 

And of course, her red eye visible when angered by the mere sight of Amber, is now permanently a part of her physical design!

 

*I expect to be wrong about this but I just see too much resemblance here between the two. And how Saki seemed like such a non-character. She never was. She was a mindwipe victim. Her situation is the REVERSE of everyone else. Perhaps that is why there's a mirror there? To show that there's reflective opposite themes going on?

 

That, or the Puppet Master has a connexion to the Blakeories and this is but the revelation of more of their plans and purpose in all this.

that gif looks like a character, possibly Florin or Flora, dangling over a cliff or something. that, or a mermaid-esque thing.

 

No clue what or who it is, unless the blond part is hair, in which case we are looking likely at Melia/Maria, Allen, Alice or Erin...

This is getting Twilight Zone.

 

M-Maybe Jan is actually a Black Magician and all this time he was but cultivating us, the players, as spiritual fuel for his power. Now has come time to unleash the ritual on our minds. Each time we open the box, we let one of his demon familiars inside...

 

Flee, people. Turn around and forget all about this. Or else, you will get to know what it's like being in one of those classic horror films.

 

For realz.

I'm pretty sure by answering the library likes decaf you get the worst ending

 I can totally see there being several decisions that seem utterly pointless but are BUTTERFLY EFFECTs. So much room in this game for chaos and MaYhEm. It'd be awesome if we get a Side Quest that shows us a hilariously bad ending if we choose wrong.

 

Or maybe in the Worst Ending, if you do some random stuff like that with the library research dude, there will be funny scenes like that.

 

"I was actually the third fragment of Arceus! If you'd not been a smartass and told me the Library likes Decaf, I'D HAVE FIXED THE PROBLEMS myself! But NOT NOW! 

 

*Arceus uses Ragnarok.*

I really like the idea of the notification about decisions, but for this to work and not ruin the mystery and suspense, especially in first playthroughs, it needs to have an option in the Options menu to switch it OFF. Just saying. That should not be impossible and for something like this it needs to be there in order to give people the ability to choose organically, and then not so organically during later playtrhoughs if they like it.

 

Everything about the quest cards is awesome.
