Honestly, i think that what we saw was at most the very beginning of Michael's evolution. In terms of being anticlimatic, maybe it's more a personal opinion. To me it would be great if he fell from the sky like a meteor to help when Alice is about to be killed.
But you know, agree to disagree.



It really seems like a message to the audience. But at the same time Michael is not talking to the player, he is talking to Power.
In that sense him saying "We'll meet again. And next time, you won't even recognize the warrior I've become" is a message to Power, the second apostle.
In that dialogue Michael is telling Power that, despite not evolving the way he wanted (either because of the circunstances or because he failed some requirement), he is still determined to become the strongest warrior.
So there is a reason in game for his words that can be interpreted in a different way.
To all of you talking about Michael's evolution, do keep in mind that he failed the ritual to keep himself in control while under the evolution trance. So chances are that he'll attack everyone there, not just the monsters.

Michael wasn't performing rites to keep himself in control within the evolution trance, he was performing rites so he could be in an evolution trance permanently. I don't think losing control would be an issue for Michael at Level 3, and I suspect his Level 2 evolution only went as wild as it did because he evolved in close proximity to Tiffany. Greater spawns have an especially high connection to their Apostle when they evolve, and Nyx mentioned something the MC couldn't detect was present. It's likely that the fight that occurred was less Michael and Tiffany going wild in a fit of primal instinct and more Power and Light commanding them to throw hands with each other for whatever reasons they had. Even then, unlike its twin Authority, the Power actually favours the MC for some reason and wants him to grow alongside Michael. Whether Power has some grudge with anyone associated with Ether or Creation is unknown though.

Not really, it wasn't about him losing control, something that can still happen just like in his 2nd evolution, but rather that he failed the requirements to achieve a permanent trance state

A part of me totally agrees with you. And another part is deeply anxious about their fate...


Xanthe: "Our Council has limited my research for too long. It is time. I need free reign to do as I see fit, as well as unfettered access to ALL subjects. Including your daughters."

Dexter: "*Sigh* Fine. Do as you will, I will assuage the others. But Malik won't be happy. Angering him unduly is something we should avoid until he calms."


...hopefully we don't get back to find them undergoing an "experiment" in the same league as the twins endured. Hell. What are the chances of coming back to a very dark setting where the MC other friends with SH potential have been captured and "researched"? I'm sure Emily would be a boon to the good doc, what with her absurd compatibility.
I don't think that's going to be much of a problem. Since I assume Xanthe wasn't referring to Tiffany and Claudia specifically. I thought he was referring to the Apostle shells. It has been a minute since I played so who knows.

But yes, when MC crew returns, I believe everyone else should have made progress with their powers. The world doesn't revolve around MC and shouldn't. There's no reason for everyone to stagnate because they weren't with MC and his friends. Especially when they're facing a monster invasion that's been going on for just as long as the MC been in the monster world.

There's nothing crazy or rushed about Tiffany reaching Level 3 within that time. As well as Claudia reaching Level 2. Or hell, people like Laurie being Level 3 and so on. Nearly 6 months or more passing is a crazy amount of time. In close to 6 months time, MC went from Level 1 to Level 3. So did Met and Nico. Those two in particular didn't have hordes of monsters to fight.

Is there any time difference in the monster planet and the human planet?
It's hard to say, but I don't think so. The glimpses we get of events in the human world suggest that a decent chunk of time has passed. We can't know for sure until we get back to the human world and get told "it's been X months since we last heard from you" or something like that, but I don't think time moves any differently between the worlds.
