Guilty Gear Vastedge XT concept illustrations and story line thread

[HeWhoRocksAlot]

This person on twitter tweetted a few dialogues from the mobile version of Vastedge that may be plot informative.

Had to google translate this tweet, the person on twitter says that the dialogue with Millia apparently mentions that Zato’s body has been recovered by the Senate. Not 100% sure what it exactly says.

I'm not to sure what the other dialogues says but it will be great if someone in here can translate what they all say.

Bardius can do Zato's drill???

Fixed. The previous link expired.

Thank you. It was problematic to find any good quality image with Bardius.

Bardius can do Zato's drill???

Pure speculation but maybe Bardius uses "forbidden beast" technology too.

[Kitsoru]

Sorry, would it be possible to get another reupload? It expired again. I'd be glad to get it uploaded in full quality at some image database that supports that.

What do you need a reupload of, the images? You can find them all in the photobucket linked in the OP: http://s1014.photobucket.com/user/crims0nnight/library/GG%20Illust?sort=2&page=1

Huh, there's a lot of cool stuff buried here. I'll leave it to Suzaku or someone with more free time on their hands to translate all of it, but here are the Senate quotes (no idea where exactly in the game they're supposed to come from). Might translate the Bardius stuff too later.

"My name is Chronos. I am the leader of the Senate."

"We, the four sages, form the Senate."

"Most of this world is already under our control."

"The plan is proceeding steadily. Everything is fine."

"The Illyrian King knows too much. We'll have to bring him down, but it might be too early for that..."

"Of the Core Unit, we possess not only Senga, but Ekitoku and Kojouhaku, as well."

"When St.Elmo's Light appears, we shall become the gods who oversee this world."

"Guiding the world is our mission." (blue)

"Humanity's future... Can only depend on us as its true leaders!" (blue)

"Soon, the world is going to be optimized by our hand." (blue)

"Sol... After all, you have decided to oppose us. We cannot let you to stand in our way any longer." (red)

Aw shiet. So they're collecting the pieces of the Outrage to use... against the Gears that are opposing them now, assumedly (Ky's allies)?

No wonder Sol was charging in on them to take them down, but if the OP of Xrd is any indication, he hasn't dismantled them yet.

Too bad Fuuraiken's broken, eh boys :V

edit: Also is it just me or does the last line almost sound like they're very familiar with him already? Like on a personal basis.

Aren't the (red)/(blue) what appears during the fight depending on what you get on the slots? So it likely appears during the fight with Nr.3.

Here is Sol's. I skipped the three last since they are ordinary fighting words and I can't make good English equivalents.

"My name is Sol Badguy. However there is some bastards that call me Frederick..."

"Why is a wanted poster about me being passed around? But it's not like I don't have some suspicion on why it is..."

"There is a bounty on my head you say? Is it the Senate? What purpose does it do."

"Tsk, Wherever I go enemies appears. It's probably because of that poster."

"Shit, that bastard Ky... He makes me babysit again."

"The Fireseal has become a part of this "Junkyard Dog""

"Junkyard Dog is quite a picky thing. It's likely that a normal person can't handle it"

"What is needed is the divine tool named "Senga". It's that one that becomes the Core Unit"

"The reason for this trip is to complete OutRage. Does the Senate hate that?"

"When the "Core Unit" and "Junkyard Dog" is present the "OutRage" is complete"

"Does the Senate know the use of the Core Unit? ... It can't be"

"It looks like the Core Unit is stored in the Halden Stronghold(ハルデン城塞)"

"My head feels rough? ...It cant be"

"Even if my opponent is the Senete, If you're planning to get in my way I will crush you"

[Kitsoru]

Hmmm... wonder if that means Sol needs Outrage to destroy/neutralize Valentine. He can tell from his headaches that she's impending once again (confirmed by the Memorial Book story).

My guesses, based on animu trope theorum:

The Core Unit's purpose is either an absolute seal to stop her from spawning, or to sever the connection with the Backyard to prevent her from accessing the real world again

(even though it's supposed to be the makeup of our world? but yanno, whatever)

Since the Senga is a knife that can 'cut anything', or whatever. Think Kuwabara's dimensional sword from Yu Yu Hakusho.

But, that's just my speculation. Thanks a ton for the translations!

[zdravkelja]

Nope, Slayer has a knife jinki, this is Senga (I think)

[Kitsoru]

Yes, and it was Senga, supposedly. Though that was based on Blade's translation, and we all know how that goes :V

The jinki we know are:

Fuuenken (Sol)

Fuuraiken (Ky, now broken? unless it was recovered/incorporated into Magnolia, or still within Dizzy's seal)

Zessen (Anji)

Ekitoku (held by Senate)

Senga (held by Senate)

Koujouhaku (held by Senate)

And 2 unnamed and totally unknown pieces.

It says 神器「閃牙」(Divine Tool, Senga) on that picture at least.

He wasn't sure about that one. So, those six, the one held by Slayer, and the unknown one.

Where was it mentioned that Fuuraiken is broken? And how did we know the names of Senga, Ekitoku and Kojouhaku, was that in those radio dramas and short stories? This pic was made long ago

[Kitsoru]

Again. According to Blade. Who isn't exactly the most trustworthy source of translation.

The other two are still unknown as far as we actually know.

Where was it mentioned that Fuuraiken is broken?

In Overture...?

And how did we know the names of Senga, Ekitoku and Kojouhaku, was that in those radio dramas and short stories?

GG Bible, same source Blade is using (and adding his spec to).

http://darkside-ky.deviantart.com/art/GGR-Special-OutRage-Guide-188544014

Again. You're referencing his heavily speculative fanon chart.

[zdravkelja]

In Overture...?

yeah, totaly forgot

Again. You're referencing his heavily speculative fanon chart.

I was referencing it just because names of jinkis were mentioned in that chart, I know a lot of that stuff is speculation.

Thanks for the answers.

[Kitsoru]

Right, and I'm just saying that clearly Senga could not be BOTH a knife, and a ..lightbulb.. thing.. But the only actual, credible information we have is about the main 3, and now Senga. We have Ekitoku and Koujouhaku's names but nothing else, and nothing about the remaining two.

[Suzaku]

Someone showed me this. A collection of quotes used in Vastedge, all in Japanese.

http://priban.gozaru.jp/ggv.html

Thanks for this. I actually almost bought the game for my tablet, but it's region locked.

I don't have the time to translate everything fully, but here's the pertinent stuff.

First and foremost, the author notes that they missed a lot of dialogue, so the script collection isn't perfect.

The Fireseal Sword has been incorporated into Junkyard Dog; Sol and Sin are raiding Halden Citadel to recover Senga, the Core Unit of the Outrage (also called the Sacred Treasures), which is in the posession of the Senate, in order to complete construction of Junkyard Dog.

At this point, Sin has been traveling the world as a bounty hunter with Sol for five years. Someone with more time can use that to figure out exactly where in the timeline this falls.

As in the Xrd prologue short story, Ky mentions that the Senate has been trying to undermine him ever since he announced that humans and Gears should coexist. He says that, since the woman he loves is also a Gear, he couldn't possibly exterminate them.

May tells them that Johnny sent her out because a threat to the world seems to be imminenant. She explains the Senate has more than one of the Sacred Treasures and apparantly tells them where they can find Senga.

Jam isn't interested in the coming threat, more concerned about the restaurant.

Millia is trying to find Zato's body. She says there were rumors about the Sacred Treasures in the guild, but she doesn't know where they are.

Chipp appears to be actively campaigning for president. He refers to himself as such and refers to a Chipp Kingdom in the West, but seems to be on the campaign trail in the East and South. He's not familiar with the Sacred Treasures, but dislikes the Senate.

Slayer wants to help save the world because humans are stupid, but entertaining.

Bridget's still trying to become manly by working as a Bounty Hunter.

Zappa is still searching for Faust because of a "strange condition" within his body.

Izuna refers to himself as a tour guide. He tells them that the Japanese colony is located in the Mediterranean. Halden Citadel is a research facility located in a forbidden zone.

Paradigm is currently one of the leaders in the human / Gear coexistence movement. He says that the Senate has placed a bounty on Sol, and have increased the reward. He states that the Senate is led by four sages and they possess Senga.

The UN Senate, or "Senato", reports to the pope. The leader of the Senate, #IV, is named Cronus. Bardius is #III. As mentioned earlier in the thread, they control three of the Sacred Treasures: Senga, Ekitoku, and Kojouhaku. They're manipulating the world to guide it to the future they desire. The soldiers they command are actually mercenaries.

Bardius is using using the forbidden arts to control Zato-1's shadow (Eddie), and uses both Invite Hell and Great White during the fight.

[Blade]

Like I said a while ago that OutRage Guide is outdated (and I even put a warning there). And I made those guides long before VastEdge came out and started running my blog (Kitsoru, really, stop nitpicking everything).

We don't know which one Slayer has. I never said it was Senga, I said I wondered IF it was Senga. Now we know it's not (since Flashing Tooth / Fang can mean ANYTHING... I did NOT expect it to be a Lightbulb!)

And as I said before, the word OutRage has appeared on Gear Tanks in the GG Bible and on Dizzy's "Gear Glyph" ring that appears around her feet when she's on the ground in battle stance.

[Kitsoru]

At this point, Sin has been traveling the world as a bounty hunter with Sol for five years. Someone with more time can use that to figure out exactly where in the timeline this falls.

Would have to be 2187, unless they messed up their timelines. Sin was born March 2182 and was 6mo old when Sol got him (so September 2182).

Jam isn't interested in the coming threat, more concerned about the restaurant.

Oh Jam :3c

Chipp appears to be actively campaigning for president. He refers to himself as such and refers to a Chipp Kingdom in the West, but seems to be on the campaign trail in the East and South.

Chipp pls

Izuna refers to himself as a tour guide. He tells them that the Japanese colony is located in the Mediterranean. Halden Citadel is a research facility located in a forbidden zone.

Interesting... well that confirms what has always been insinuated that it's hidden away from Japan itself.

The UN Senate, or "Senato", reports to the pope. The leader of the Senate, #IV, is named Cronus. Bardius is #III. As mentioned earlier in the thread, they control three of the Sacred Treasures: Senga, Ekitoku, and Kojouhaku. They're manipulating the world to guide it to the future they desire. The soldiers they command are actually mercenaries.

Bardius is using using the forbidden arts to control Zato-1's shadow (Eddie), and uses both Invite Hell and Great White during the fight.

So Bardius does indeed have some connection to Zato/Eddie. If Millia is looking for Zato's body then we can presume Eddie's searches for a new body from XX-AC+ resulted in Bardius taking him in... and now Millia is trying to figure out where the body went. Wonder how this'll play into Zato's story in Xrd.

Thanks much for the info, Suzaku!

stop nitpicking everything

You really need to learn that if you're going to obnoxiously put yourself out there so much as an "expert" on something, maybe try not to be wrong so much and learn a little humility when you are.

[danceljoy]

Need...to...update the wiki... but too lazy >_>

[Tenj|n]

Would have to be 2187, unless they messed up their timelines. Sin was born March 2182 and was 6mo old when Sol got him (so September 2182).

Wait, wasn't Sin born on May 31st?

Anyway, i have this timeline from the GG 10th memorial book. This was published in 2010 so it covers up til the end of Overture.

http://i1014.photobucket.com/albums/af269/crims0nnight/sbnmkj_zps84f97584.png

Book cover for those interested.

[Kitsoru]

Wait, wasn't Sin born on May 31st?

Whichever it is... So then Sol got him in November. Point is 2182 regardless.

That timeline looks like it's saying that stuff happened in 2183 though? I mean, I don't know what else it would be implying about 2183... So one of these timelines is incorrect.

[Blade]

According to what I read from the GG2 stories...

2182 - 83 Ky x Dizzy stuff (aka the Summers of Love) (also Chipp Stuff in the Butterfly and Her Gale Novel if anyone cares)

2184 (May 31st) Dizzy has an egg which they name Sin, he hatches and grows up really fast.

2184 (December 31st-ish New Years Eve) Ky is depressed cuz of Senato, Dizzy calls Sol to cheer him up, Sol and Ky have a fight, Sin breaks up the fight, Sol adopts Sin.

2185 Sol is with Sin, teaching him the ropes of Bounty Hunting.

2186 Overture > VastEdge

2187 In January Sol gets his Junkyard Dog (named after the original Junkyard Dog he had as Order-Sol according to a recent illustration label by Daisuke) upgraded to Mk.III status.... and GGXrd happens in October.

2192 Axl and I-No something or other going on (dunno details yet).

So did Sol recover Senga after he killed Bardius?

Probably did.
