Alternate endings (BRANCHED SPOILERS)

[EmperorJeramyu]

Well, Traziun HAD just killled like 19 blood lyn and his father... I assume there might have been some blood left. That, and the sprite is the same. I don't see why Lun would've switched sprites, especially when the sword at the end of the credits has the same sprite as Ghost Horror. That, and I don't think he would've brought his shadow sword with him to confront Rhue and Gauis. It just doesn't seem too smart. And Traziun seems smart.

[Imoto]

Uh...

I would have thought someone would have corrected them on the Lexus ending interpretation.

Rhue/Jeruh as the dominant aura didn't have enough control of the auras present within the sword to be able to pull shit off like flying. The thing with Rhue staying in the sword with Lexus isn't Rhue as the Chimera of auras as we know him staying in the sword, it's just the Jeruh/Rhue aura, developed throughout the game. In that sense, he's not living a lie, as he's just an aura too.

However, Rhue/Jeruh doesn't have his binding goal anymore, he doesn't have that huge desire to find Serena and run around the way murdering things to get what he wants, so the next most determined aura took precedence, and this one seems to have been a pretty badass one. The whole "I have no end" line makes it seem like this is the person who the red-haired woman tells you found a way to live forever with the shadow sword, without being eventually completely engulfed by it.

The most common theories seem to be Venge, Mimic, and/or Kura as the aura that pops up.

Also, if Cetsa was dead, she would have been in your sword, and she would have had her corpse left where you found her.

She probably crawled off or got picked up by Strata or something.

Oh... well after thinking that 'Rhue' was like superman or something that revelation is somewhat anti-climactic.

...I wonder if Rhue still as strong as he was at the end of ep6, I guess not since he's just an aura now...
Well I know he's with Lexus, but living for eternity in 'Dream' Estrana seems so goddamn boring, but Rhue and Lexus won't notice it will they.


Well if the whole thing with Jeruh is over, then will the Tower still have that big aura? I assume it will, but who will be in the top room now I wonder?

Great question, There is another name for Dream Estrana that Lun and I used in development that would shed a lot of light. althoguh I need his permission to reveal it. I do believe itwas safe to say we considered a bit of 3d environment for it but it would have beem to graphc heavy to pull off, so dream estrana stayed.

Quikc question about cloning. (if you have ever seen "Mulitplicity" the answer can be found there I beilve) "what happens to a clone over time?" *evil laugh*

Was that "The Matrix" or something? Someone was talking about "Neo something" some post ago, and Matrix it's the nearest thing to DE I can think of...
So maybe the "Dominant aura" is the aura who refuses to stay in DE? In that case, in the Lexus ending, Rhue/Jeruh decided to stay in DE, losing his role of "dominanta aura"?

[Imoto]

I think Fwacho's purpose is to sow the seeds of discussion and confusion, in order to maintain interest in The Way.

We can probably label everything he says as nothing but distraction.

[Masked Gamer]

Maybe the alternate title was Janwen. Think about it.

[Forerunner]

I think that somehow, Estrana was built where Jarwen used to be.

Why do I think that? I can't remember...

[hpmons]

Or "The Cave"?

[Sage Of The Wise]

I think that somehow, Estrana was built where Jarwen used to be.

Why do I think that? I can't remember...

Maby because the ruins of Janwen are underneath Estrana?

[Masked Gamer]

I think that may just be the result of the mishmashing that happens inside the sword. For instance, Kavax never lived in Estrana, nor did he know any of the people he knows inside the sword. The same could be true for Janwen.

[Sage Of The Wise]

Exept that Sacrifa already confirmed that the lost city was located under Estrana in the real world.

[Masked Gamer]

Oh, when? I don't remember that at all, but it makes sense.

[Non-Sequitur]

It is when Rhue and Midian first meet him in the Altair Manor.

[Alundra]

about the altair mansion... and that crazy clown that lives in it...
WHAT IN FLAMIN' JANWENS NAME WAS THAT ABOUT?
suddenly there's this rich ass family that owns a huge mansion and it's haunted by a wicked lil girl that turns into a phantasm joker...

Same goes for the black shoals something big happened there supposedly and the only proof of that is the ending in the pits, cuz they all appear in the shoals then...

I'm getting tired of this mind game... Lun's prolly outlined about 20 full pages of story and the thing we played were prolly 10 lines from those pages added with a lot of things he and fwacho liked a lot when trying to mess with our heads.
This ultimately leads to a story that's gone way beyond what they originally wanted to tell.
At the completion of episode 6, the world they created in those 20 pages had grown beyond control aswell as it's prolly a 40 pages worth of story right now... I'm so certain it's just too much to tell all of us in just one videogame, and none of them still knows how things truly are in the end.
Lun's working on the story without even telling fwacho all of the details...
I'm like that too, and the whole thing I just stated is because I'm in that exact situation with my own game right now... My advise to Lun: Stop dreaming of things too big, and finish the whole thing before you end up dissapointed. By finish I mean write down the whole thing, stop walking around with just in your head. You've got hundreds of fans... Write it down in a novel and become a bestseller! IF that book indeed becomes a bestseller, you could start with a major movie, I mean why settle with a crappy short-series...?! A multimillion dollar production is more worthy of a story like yours! But then again that's my opinion... I'm gonna work on my game some more now!
