He's also technically the first Gear ever, "prototype Gear" to be exact, the first complete one is Justice. The three scientists responsible for the Gear project is Sol (Frederick), Aria, his girlfriend, and That Man.

*currently editing Tvtropes and adding each awesome moment Xrd can offer*

As a south-east Asian I agree. I really think May is 11-12 in the AC and 16-17 in Xrd. My height when I was 12 was permanent and like May I just gained ten pounds over a five year period. May can also be like my cousin who is very thin and flatchested when she's a teen, but in her twenties she gained much more weight and finally looked like a woman.

Does anybody know what's written on the floor?

I believe he never decanonized anything, he just said GG2 is a direct continuation of GG. When people begin to wonder if the X series is canon that's when he said they're gaidens.

^ Reminds me of Kakashi Gaiden, it's as canon as the main manga. Also I listed in the wiki that the main series are GG, GG2 and GGXrd, that's how I understood Ishiwatari's interview. I'm really interested on the post-Overture politics, and Ky of course. The incident cannot be covered up and I doubt people are ready to accept Gears which were killing them just one generation ago. Edit: speaking of gameplay and story, I love how Ky's moveset now has more seals. It kinda tells that his magic use advanced and becomes more tactical. My headcanon is that his body had taken so much that he'll eventually get weaker so he'd compensate by magic.

Seeing May's stage at least now we know she keeps her dolphins in an aquarium aboard the ship

So speculate and discuss here based on available information. Note that they might still change stuff after the loketest. Wee let's have fun Basically - The story takes place after Overture which is five years after GGXX and Daisuke said this is a main entry along with GG and GG2 - Ky's stage is the garden because we can see his Overture servants on the background, he also wears a cape similar to his king cape so we can assume he most likely stilll hold his position - The Gear sublimation incident in GG2 surely exposed the existence of independent Gears to the public, this issue needs to be addressed. Dr. Paradigm stayed in the Illyria castle and Ky extended friendship to him. - I-No is confirmed to be alive, so her canon ending in AC is the one where That Man punishes her - We still don't know anything about That Man's third servant - That Man says Valentines are being born every day - Sin stayed with Ky in the castle instead of traveling with Sol - Maiden of the Grove/Dizzy was still asleep at the ending of Overture but due to her popularity, it's very likely she'll be playable We are still not sure what AC endings are canon for many characters: - Chipp could have teamed up with Pot or could have joined the Guild - Pot could have been shot and presumably killed or teamed up with Chipp - Baiken could have gone mad or teamed up with Anji for like the 59th time, their endings match - May could have run away from Johnny, or not. Their two endings match each other - Bridget may be Jam's waiter because Jam's other ending seems unlikely - Venom's ending where he wages war with PWAB is most likely the canon one since his other ending involves him meeting a boy hinted to be Bridget's twin, and the ending where the twin has gone missing less likely because Jam's 1st ending is more likely - Since Eddie is in the trailer, we can assume the ending where he evolved is canon - Surely Milllia is alive, so she's still running - Testament could have burned with the forest or just remained sad like 99% of the time - Robo-Ky could have been scrapped or not, if it is the former it would be Robo-Pot now - Slayer could have returned to the other world to retire or decided to fight again - As for ABA, one of her endings has Paracelsus in a human body while the other has him stuck in Robo-Ky's head - Zappa's ending where he gets spirited away into Slayer's world matches Slayer's one ending, while the other has him scared at S-Ko like 99% of the time - Faust's endings can both be canon (ending wise, not path wise) as one has him giving Zappa a nasty plastic surgery So what are your thoughts? What could happen?

Wow Ky removes his blue king cape at his intro. Perhaps we can start a story speculation thread now.

MY GAWD THIS SHOULD ALL HAPPEN

How does Sol grow a jacket in his DI?

YEEEAHHH THE PINK WHALE IN GLORIOUS 3D

I like all the redesigns, I'm even disappointed that Venom remained the same. As for Potemkin, I love his Zepp uniform but his helmet does look like Alphonse Elric. May wearing pants is good as Millia with leggins, nao they should bring Dizzy with a dress.

YES YESSSSSS Once all the pictures are here the wiki needs an good update <3

YOU KNOW WHAT!? I MISSED YOU ALL OF YOU AND AND THESE DISCUSSIONS. I thought it was over when all ArcSys does is Blazblue then these translations happen and the new GG *sobs*

For me whether Sol is Dizzy biological dad or not, he still have paternal tendencies towards her. I'm just thinking of the men in Dizzy's life: Testament= eternal friend Johnny = guardian Sol = father Ky = lover Sin = son Of course technically they're all her guardians but I just love how Dizzy tends to form deep relationships with people <3

*drinks beer with the 'World's Greatest Dad" mug* :KY: *enters room* :KY: *exits the room an sobs quietly*

"WTF Sin!? Stop saying the word "fuck" you f'cking asshole!"

Wow Sol calling sin his "son" dat is so touching ;_; Sin saying vulgar words and getting kicked- Sol's doing the parenting thing perfectly

^ Can I call you Blaj or Blaju? OwO

^ I have a copy of the LtA but transcribed in Korean, someone gave it to me because I requested it (I had a friend who translates Korean but sadly he was busy that time...) I think I ran it up in google translate, but it's been a long time I'll try to confirm if the HOPE belt story is mentioned. Edit: I dunno it may be a good idea to differentiate Blade from Blade of Justice because people might get confused

I believe it was mentioned in the LtA novel... which I never read and I just relied on Blade's translations. LOL I love how this becomes the "Ky Kiske" thread. Again the eyepatch mystifies me. Any ideas?

^ Yeah... I believe Ky is strong enough to destroy his own family for the good of humanity but the damage to him I just can't imagine. As for Ky's "HOPE" belt I believe I read somewhere that it was because 6 knights sacrificed their lives to save him, I forgot where I read it.

^ Thanks for the write-up, I understand ^_^ But I've watched the cutscene already a dozen of times I'm familiar with the material. The Nelson Mandela similarities is something new to me though, although in Ky's case I find it reasonable that people would hate Gears. Unlike black people who are the ones actually oppressed, Gears practically almost wiped out humanity and cases like Dizzy, Dr. P and Testament are so miniscule that it's not enough to convince people that Gears aren't evil. People will not easily buy "they were controlled by Justice" explanation because they would also get the impression that Gears are easily manipulated and have no will on their own. Which goes back to Dizzy because... she's the only known Command type Gear! She's not just an ordinary Gear, she ca practically repeat the Holy War if she wants to.Of all the Gears in the planet Dizzy is the one people fear the most and want to disappear. Now I doubt people who want to get rid of her are all evil, probably some of them are like Ky who just wants society to be safe. Now I wanna see Ky face that dilemma, because the enemy of his family may not necessarily be an enemy of humanity, or that his political enemies will be supported by the masses as they still fear Gears. Ky is the leader people have been looking for, and people had this notion that he's the champion of humanity against Gears just imagine if the public finds out that he married one and fathered another.

Well what I meant is that Ky has always done things for the greater good. I know he has killed a lot of Gears and killed criminals but it's for the good of society. I wonder if he will come to a point where he *might* kill innocents and he will kill or do something really shady for his or his own family's benefit and not for the sake of society. Ky almost doesn't do anything for himself and he's willing to throw his life away for strangers. Precisely this is the same thing Sin questions about his character and it's interesting to see Ky at least battle for his own life and it would be intruiging if he will choose between his morals and his preservation for the sake of his family. Ky is so awesome I love thinking of him in different situations. THANKS for the translation and WHUT Ky has an eyepatch!? Edit: So is this the first time we see Ky shed tears besides his meeting with Kliff at the manga? *my heart explodes*
