History WMG / EtrianOdyssey

[[WMG: In the upcoming Fourth Game, [[spoiler: the Labyrinth itself will be the Large God]].]]

In the third game, Yggdrasil is said to have come form outer space, whereas in the fourth game we have ''Tharsis''. Looking at U and how it points to an Earth much worse in its state than what we have right now, it's entirely possible that humans of ''old'' settled on other planets, therefore 4 is set on an inhabited Mars, while the Yggdrasil in 3 is one of the seven from Earth (as there has been no way to take care of the other 5 cores. Implying Earth has been devastated by the time of 3.)

** Alternatively, they're [[MadScientist mad scientists]] who explore Yggdrasil in order to further their studies. Their knowledge of chemicals makes them surprizingly good healers and buffers. In a pinch, they can inject themselves with [[PsychoSerum psycho serum]], which greatly increases their stats, but at the cost of health per turn, until either the researcher dies or the battle ends.

* [[spoiler: Correct, the games final boss, the Heavenbringer, is the [[HumanoidAbomination humanoid form of Yggdrasil]]. And it seems the whole thing will come full circle with the Remake of the the first since there is quite a bit of stuff on the Yggdrasil Project in the last few parts of the fourth game.

The games in the series seemed to have a pattern going, in which an element from the previous game turns up in the next. In the first game, [[spoiler: Visil was revealed to be [[OlderThanTheyLook the man behind the Yggdrasil Project]] conducted [[Really700YearsOld nearly a thousand years ago]].]] In the second game, [[spoiler: the Overlord was experimenting with humans with the Holy Grail to try to grant [[CompleteImmortality immortality to other humans]], which Visil in the first game had in [[TheAgeless Type II]] form, and [[BrainUploading uploaded himself into a machine to continue his experiments]].]] The third game has Abyssal King Seyfried, who [[spoiler: [[ArtificialHuman uploaded his consciousness into a mechanical body]] around the time of the Calamity, similar to the Overlord.]] Since the [[TrueFinalBoss Sixth Str]][[BonusBoss atum boss]] of ''The Drowned City'' [[spoiler: was [[EldritchAbomination Abyssal]] [[NamesToRunFromReallyFast God]], the [[ManBehindTheMan Man Behind the]] [[MonsterLord Monster Lord]] and was the ''actual'' ''[[BonusDungeon Sixth Stratum]]]]'', it would make sense to bring that on a much larger scale in the fourth game, considering the Japanese subtitle, translated, is ''Legend of the Large God''.

When I saw the first info, screenshots, and trailers, I couldn't help but feel something bad might happen when playing. This is aside from the [[WallBanger headbanging]] [[NintendoHard difficulty]]. Having an unexpected third installment to a much beloved series with the ability to be ''on a boat'' would be ''really'' exciting.

[[WMG: In EO3, all the inhabitants of Deep City are Yggdroids]]

Why didn't they just ask someone from your party to do it? Agata's too much of an IdiotHero and Hypatia was too grieved to think of it.

So while ''some'' mention might be made -- possibly even allowing your Guild in III to be inspired by them, a distant branch, descendants or cousins or what have you -- they won't enter into the main plot so as to avoid another ''ChronoCross''-ish incident.

This is aside from the [[WallBanger headbanging]] [[NintendoHard difficulty]]. Having an unexpected third installment to a much beloved series with the ability to be [[SaturdayNightLive ON A BOAT might just make him JIZZ in his pants]].

The games in the series had a pattern of sorts going, in which an element from the previous game turns up in the next. In the first game, [[spoiler: Visil was revealed to be [[OlderThanTheyLook the man behind the Yggdrasil Project]] conducted [[Over700YearsOld nearly a thousand years ago]].]] In the second game, [[spoiler: the Overlord was experimenting with humans to try and achieve immortality like Visil in the first game, and [[BrainUploading uploaded himself into a machine to continue his experiments]].]] The third game has Abyssal King Seyfried, who [[spoiler: [[ArtificialHuman uploaded his consciousness into a mechanical body]] around the time of the Calamity, similar to the Overlord.]] Since the SecretBoss of ''The Drowned City'' [[spoiler: was the [[ManBehindTheMan god]] of the Deep Ones and was the ''actual Sixth Stratum'']], it would make sense to bring that on a much larger scale in the fourth game, considering the Japanese subtitle.

They generally aren't aware of their "[[IfYouKnowWhatIMean original purpose]]", though clearly more than a few might suspect that their techniques weren't always used against ''monsters''... But that sort of thing got lost in translation, AfterTheEnd.
