If we take this game on its own, then sure, I suppose you could make the argument that there are multiple ways to explain Luna's "powers" (and, as the above poster said, could be just dreams or drugs, or as you say, cope). Same with the nature of Eternum.

However, all of the non-magical explanations become headscratchy once you take into account that Cari himself confirmed a long while ago (and he keeps doing so in

Anyway, the point is: it'll be weird if Cari went out of his way to reiterate that this shares the same universe as OIAL only for him to end up not utilizing or downright ignore the rules that're already established in said universe. Like if LP stated that Godzilla and King Kong share the same universe but there's no actual acknowledgement of it in any of the recent films. Hell, even Fate/Extra timeline was set in a virtual simulation of sorts, but despite this magic (or the concept of it) still exists within and outside the simulation (well, USED to exist outside anyway) as per the rules established in the Nasuverse (where despite the entire thing being composed of multiple alternate realities, certain truths such as magic still exists throughout all of them).

That's what I meant by we don't really know yet. It can be anything from her being crazy to just take her at face value.

Do we know if we'll have different endings if we go for solo paths? If I remember correctly, nothing changed in OIALT when you decided to do that, only some pics changed.

Harem is less realistic, more like a lil escapist fantasy that satisfies all your urges but doesn't leave good closure. A solo route feels more complete and in touch with reality, less diversification too. Don't get me wrong, I support polyamour, it's just that going for more than 2-3 girls makes you more aware of the "porny" nature of the story xD

I'm tempted to start a new game to avoid the side girls, so Nancy can be MCs first. Are we likely to be locked out of content for not boning the two current side girls? Am I going to be losing much by focusing on the Main Girls?

Huh? Nancy IS mc's first, since he's only had sex in Eternum before that which doesn't count

Your argument would have merit if going solo didn't kill 50% of the game's content

It's xenoblade chronicles "porny" for having a harem? NO. so in my books having a harem is based as fuck.lol

I mean...that is an actual superstition in the real world as well. :ROFLMAO:

As I said: It can be anything, considering the "OiaL" and Eternum Universe so far it probably is..."something™" and we can theorize about it all day, but for now we haven't even seen it in "action" (however that would look like).

Funny you say that seeing as in OIAL leaving (some) LIs behind supposedly exposed them to mortal danger because of the remaining lower level cult of Astaroth. Now that is something i would have felt bad about. Imagine tearing those relationships between the characters apart...

the harem ending of OIAL was really wholesome tho. i loved the pictures, also that every girl got at least on solo picture with the mc. i would have loved to see solo endings (Carla solo ending plzzzzzzzzzzzz) but i can imagine writing solo endings would be bothersome... but it would be really fking awesome if he decided to do them.

Yeah, like I said it's just about the immersion for me. Having an ending focused on only one character would actually feel like the character has a good conclusion. Harem is a bit out there, although the moment with the two sisters in the last scene was pretty good. But again, it works because it was only the two of them. The others were just in the background xD

Huh? Just do every route? Also I'm not saying I'm against harem endings, I just find solo endings more logical.

Well, they are. But the way Cari is currently writing Eternum is that a significant chunk of the story is intrinsically tied to an LI's route, which is different compared to other games where solo routes and harem routes have a unique path that players could choose to follow. Here, if you lose one route, you pretty much lock yourself out of certain parts of the story, so going harem is pretty much the optimal path if you want to get the full story experience.

Not to mention Cari is likely to make the harem route canon anyway like what he did in OIAL, so.../shrugs

Which Cari has rectified in this game by making every member of the harem essential to the plot. No Jasmine-type characters here (where an LI really has no story significance save for being related to one of the important characters in the story), no undercooked characters like Aiko or Iris (/grits his teeth and tries to contain his anger upon remembering how much wasted potential Iris was). Everyone gets to take part in the story this time around-

.../sigh Yes, Chang. That also includes you.

I agree with your point, and that's why I asked about the solo endings since it didn't seem likely to happen XD. Ofc, the game is made for harem and that's why I'll play the harem route. Gotta see all the content possible and then, if there are solo endings, I'll go for them.
