Since the whole story will not be finished for a long time, we have plenty of room to speculate about future games! Let's go! That said though, Beware of spoilers! If you want to see more theories or post one of your own aside from here, you can go to Kirsten Miller's Kiseki Crack
site. Some of the theories there will be posted here too.
Hypothetical party members at Cold Steel III
Since Erebonia and Crossbell Arcs are correlated due to the Phantasmal Blaze plan, is it right to assume Class VII and SSS will be available? Hypothetical members (characters in bold are confirmed):- Class VII; Rean, Alisa, Elliot, Laura, Machias, Emma, Jusis, Fie, Gaius, Millium, Sara.
- Additional members from Cold Steel II; Toval, Claire, Sharon, Towa, Alfin, Angelica, Elise. Elise, Angelica, Towa and/or Sharon may become NPC.
- Crossbell party members; Lloyd, Elie, Tio, Randy, Noel, Wazy, Rixia, Dudley. Dudley and/or Wazy may not become party member.
- Liberl casts; Estelle, Joshua, Schera, Renne, Olivier/Olivert, Kloe, Tita, Agate, Mueller, Zin, Richard, Julia, Anelace, Kevin, Ries.
Whereabouts of the Water Sept-Terrion
A post in Kiseki Crack. One speculates that North Ambrian Disaster has something to do with Water Sept-Terrion. To elaborate, North Ambrian Disaster is a three-day incident happening 28 years prior to Sky FC, where a giant pillar of Salt hundreds of argenote in height surrounded by an ever-expanding hurricane of salt appeared in one city of North Ambria, salinifying both living beings and inanimate objects alike and destroying the environment. Gralsritter secured the remaining 2.5 arge pillar and kept in in the Holy City of Arteria.Due to water's relationship with salt in maintaining body homeostasis, it's heavily speculated that Pillar of Salt's sudden appearance is a response to Water Sept-Terrion's overwhelming water power. With this in mind, A conclusion can be drawn; Water Sept-Terrion is currently located in Holy City of Arteria, inside the remains of Pillar of Salt.- It's revealed in Cold Steel IV that the Salt Pale itself may have come from "outside of Zemuria", just like McBurn and maybe Ouroboros, judging from his comments about the fact that Ouroboros changed their names from what he knew of them before when he was still king.
- First, 1 arge equals 1 meter. Second, Salt Pale is related to Beyond, which manifests during imbalance in septium veins. Third, Arteria is a type of a blood vessel, all Primal Grounds, which are used by the Church to seal artifacts, include a water basin in their design, and Holy Seat is plastered with imagery of the Grail (apparently filled with holy water, since the crafts based on it combine Curia and Tear effects). The first two are irrelevant. The third, in conjunction with the Church being one of the organisations founded during Dark Ages, allows to speculate that Sept-Terrion of Water has been kept there since the Great Collapse, with Arteria itself being founded by its aligned faction, and it being crucial part of Church's foundation and some of its workings. Although only the headest among the honchos, like the First Dominion, would naturally be privy to this information.
New Playable Main Characters from Gralsritter
One common theme in Kiseki Series for playable main characters are for them to do sidequests to increase their ranks among the organization they affiliate with. Case in point Estelle and Joshua (Bracer, bracer rank), Lloyd (SSS, police rank) and Rean (Thors Military Academy, student rank) with Kevin and Ries being aversions since it's a dungeon-crawling game. Making playable main characters from Gralsritter allows easier flow to explain the church in-depth and the twists it take whether the church being bad or not. Better yet...Said Playable Main Character Becomes Member of Dominion
As cliché as it sounds, it's viable. If Falcom is shaping one Dominion member to actually be a double agent, they can make our main character to develop a Stigma and replaces the traitor when they are exposed.When all Sept-Terrion are gathered by Ouroboros, the Grandmaster will have a gauntlet to equip all of them just like the The Infinity Gauntlet.
Then all the heroes will gather to fight against them, Avengers-style.- Jossed. Earth, Fire, and Mirage Sept-Terrion are gone for good according to the Grandmaster and the Phantasmal Blaze Plan is a success.
There is a St. Stregas in the history of the Septian Church
The Stregas athletic shoe company is based in the Leman State, home of the Septian Church. It would make sense that a major business in the equivalent of the Vatican would be named after a religious figure. It would also mean that Estelle and Kevin's (the latter being a priest) frequent exclamation of "Holy Stregas" isn't blasphemous (even if Estelle probably is worshipping her sneakers).After the Erebonia arc, the main subject for the next arc will be all about Time Travel.
Given how Cold Steel IV ended the first time with The Hero Dies ending yet made players replay through the entire sequence to obtain the Golden Ending with Rean noting that he heard a nostalgic voice after doing the sidequest which changed his fate, the Time Sept-Terrion will play a big role in Ouroboros' third phase of the plan, the Eternal Regression Plan, by the next arc. There is an even bigger threat than Ouroboros.
At the end of Cold Steel IV, the Grandmaster says the world is three years away from something called the "Primordial Nothingness", which could very well set the stage for an Evil Versus Oblivion conflict occurring behind the scenes. The heroes of the next few arcs will gradually discover the greater threat, potentially leading to an Enemy Mine situation with Ouroboros.- Possibly connected with the fact that in Cold Steel III, there is mention of something going wrong with the Spirit Veins in the Eastern half of the continent, which is causing massive environmental collapse, which is causing Calvard to be swarmed with immigrants fleeing their failing countries. The three year deadline could be when the phenomena accelerates to a point of no return.
The true identity of the Grandmaster of Ouroboros is...
Aidios, or somehow related to her. There's potential proof too, since when she's revealed, her hair looks suspiciously like Aidios' whenever she's represented in stained glass. Orbal technology will stop working after Grand Finale
Whatever happens during final confrontation will render septium completely inert, possibly by isolating Zemuria from other planes of existence. Enforcer XXI will be the strongest character in the entire franchise.
While Campanella has been a constant power player for the Society, this would be an Enforcer so powerful that using them is akin to a Godzilla Threshold, especially since it represents The World. Ouroboros will be Promoted to Playable
In (one of) the latest arc(s) the PC will be an Ouroboros operative (possibly an unrevealed yet Enforcer), to show the conflict from their perpective. It'll turn out their goals are even more complex than we thought. Campanella is a Devil Lord from Beyond
He has a Wrong Context Magic, doesn't age, his own agenda is enigmatic, and so forth. His facial marking is also somewhat similar to Mc Burn's, when he unleashes their true power. Although unlike the latter he doesn't have amnesia and is very much aware about the true state of things.
