Actually, Hazama's Act 3 takes place after Terumi's ending which is after Celica's ending. In Hazama's Act 3, it is clear that Terumi succeeded in stealing Hihiirokane because he is exhausted from fighting his mirror. Also, Terumi used Celica to make Nine come to confront him about it, despite risking the deprivation of Izanami's ultimate pawn. It is clear to me now that Nine will reform in the middle of the story mode to help Ragna and the others heal the world and I am looking forward to the ending of Central Fiction.

Mori said in the interview from April that it would be a good idea to play arcade mode to know the all of the characters' current actions, intentions, and backgrounds since story mode will be centered around Ragna. I am looking forward to Nine's interactions with Ragna and the others after Celica's speech. P.S. I think Terumi's Act 3 might take place after Celica's Act 3 meaning that Celica may have convinced her to believe in Ragna.

Guys do you think that if the story mode images we saw are actually flashbacks, the story mode will continue where the Act 3 Arcade left off. I don't see why they wouldn't change things up by making the story mode occur after the arcade mode when they are splitting it into 3 parts. I guess we will have to wait until October 6 and new info to find out for sure.

I am not sure Zedar, but Mori did say the story mode would be longer than he intended due to Naoto's and Es' involvement. We will have to wait for July to find out more about it.

Sorry had to delete a double post.

OK Ogiga, I just wanted to be sure on it because I am positive it will happen. P.S. Did you know that Mori said on the Dengeki stream that CF's story mode would be 1.5 times bigger than CP? Could it mean that it will last 60 or 90 hours?

Guys, could anyone please answer my post, it is really good stuff to speculate on. The arcade mode stuff that may comprise the first one-third of the story mode will lead to Es' big appearance and the redemption of Nine because I am sure she will change her mind due to Es' being her first friend.

Ogiga, I know I am saying this a lot but I am sure that Nine will reconsider destroying the world not only because Es, who is her first friend is getting involved but also Celica seems to have reminded her that Ragna was the one who gave her a chance to save Celica when no one else would. Since Celica convinced Nine that Ragna will heal the world, we will see her response in the Story Mode which is her asking Ragna to prove to her he can heal the broken world by beating her. This means that she will be sure that he is ready for whatever she saw in the boundary because she now trusts him as a friend. There will probably be a recap of the arcade mode stuff which will comprise one-third of the story mode that leads up to Es' big appearance.

Zedar90, I think the first one-third of the story mode will recap many of the arcade mode events before moving on to Es' appearance. Also, 40+ hours could mean any number such as 52, 60, 72, 90, or 120 cause they said the story mode would have triple the story content from the last game. What are your thoughts on this?

Hey Ogiga, Zedar, Toxin, do you think Es' appearance in the middle of the story mode will be a turning point because some very important things and events will start happening from that point? Also, will Es guide Ragna and others to the Gate of the Azure after Izanami is beaten or during the fight?

I guess we will have to wait for the story mode in autumn to find out for sure.

You are right Ogiga, arcade events such as Celica convincing Nine to stop, Arakune in the process of becoming a black beast, Nu nearly killing Mu, Izanami coming to put Noel back in the Master Unit, Platinum being saved and Trinity getting a new body appear to be far too important to be cut out of the story mode, considering all of this is before Es makes her big appearance in the middle. I am looking forward to how everything up to this point ends since this is the conclusion of the Azure saga.

Hey guys, since CF's story mode will be from Ragna's perspective, we probably won't need to worry about seeing certain important events from arcade mode. Looks like they want to focus on Ragna's interactions with the more important characters before wrapping it up.

I am sure that Nine will definitely be saved from her madness in the story mode as shown in Celica's Act 3 ending especially since Es' appearance will make her rethink her actions, but Terumi has it so much worse then hers that there is no chance of redemption for him. It is true that this could provide a hint to Terumi's past because he was lied to by the Master Unit so it must have made him believe that the world was nothing but lies.

Guys, Winter 2016 could mean late December 2016, January, February, or early March 2017, that is plenty of enough time for dubbing so you shouldn't worry. P.S. You people need to stop taking this rumor seriously before it gets out of hand.

Even though they said the story mode is from Ragna's perspective, there are a lot of important events in the arcade mode that will be not be seen from his point of view. We will have to wait and see what else is in store.

Hey guys, do you think that Celica's Act 3 ending will be incorporated into Story Mode? I think that it will be very important for her and Nine.

What about Celica's Act 3 though? Which ones take place before, between and after her arcade? I am pretty sure her ending will be incorporated into story mode.

Hey guys, do you think that Stages 3, 6, 7, 8, for Act 3 of each character take place at different times? Can you give it some thought please? P.S. Could CF's story mode be 90 or 120 hours long?

Guys, can we also try to figure out in what order all of the remaining act 3 arcades take place?

Sourenga, I am interested in watching the remaining arcade modes can you tell me the password please?

Sourenga, will you translate Terumi's Act 3 Arcade mode soon?
