@gunplagirl
Sorry for the slow reply and @ ing you
I may have been wrong but I though they had only began evolving close to so3 as that was the reason they were trying to destroy them now as they were becoming independent and going off script unlike before. Which was why Luthor (if memory serves) was sending monsters to destroy all life so they could keep the base universe but start with new ai instead of scraping everything which they ended up trying at the end.


@Mistere_Man

Not really, he wanted to destroy them because of the symbology stuff implanted into 3 of the party members that made them a danger to people in Luther's world. It was him trying to protect his people, but in a way that was full on universe wide genocide. There was never really a script for people to follow besides general things pushing for how life would evolve and the general instinct to survive. Luther actually was just going to destroy the entire game, he didn't care at all about saving anything from it.

I will be honest it has been a while since I played and I may have forgotten much of the story elements so if I am wrong I am sorry.

Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War

After defeating the corrupt nobles who killed the prince and were trying to take over the kingdom, the main character and his entire army have a parade thrown in their honour by a guy who betrayed his apparent allies to help the good guys win...which turns out to be a trap where almost all of them are murdered to eliminate possible opposition to him taking the throne.

It's all good. There's plenty of final fantasy story details that we only know of because of the ultimania guides, they're canon but sometimes bring up details not in the game itself (at least, not to the level of detail they could have been). That's just part of life. :/

Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers

The hero is actually from the future, and they traveled back in time to prevent time from collapsing. The consequence of saving the world is that they erase themself from the timeline. Their partner is so reliant on them as a source of courage and self-confidence that they refrain from sharing this information to make sure they can actually go through with restoring time.

Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Justice For All

Matt Engarde hired an assassin to murder his rival, making him the first client Phoenix defends that is actually guilty.

It's true. I kept expecting it to be a fakeout, but believe it or not, they actually had someone else be the main villain.

No doubt if there is ever an X9 (Or Dive, if it ends up amounting to such) will be another soft reboot a la X4 and X7.

No such thing as a twist in gaming. Video game writing is so third rate that any attempted twist is broadcasted well in advance of the actual reveal.

Why are you such a bitter person? Who hurt you?

Just quickly read up on it. So was this Lumine guy manipulating Sigma just during X8, or for the entire series? If its the entire series then thats super lame.

I got the impression it was just in X8. He was one of the newest models of Reploids, so he couldn't have been there since the start.

Yep, just X8. He does say something like "from the beginning" but it's clear thia is because he was a character earlier in the story and it doesn't apply to earlier games.

You spend hours in a forbidden land defeating 16 giant mythical beasts to bring you love interest back to life, when in reality you're reviving an evil entity that is slowly corrupting your body. In the end the evil entity is revived and a Shaman and his guards attempt to seal you away. As the evil entity is being sealed away the last remnants of yourself that remain desperately try to reach the body of your love, but it is futile and you fall into a pool of water with glowing light. Afterwards your love returns to life and discovers a baby where the seal once was.

I know this one

Pokemon RB
Congratulations on defeating the last member of the elite 4, you're now the champion... Is what we would have said, but somebody else defeated us earlier. It's your rival.
