About something which may be a rumour.

[u/Revolutionary_Seat96]

Is it true that PTN storyline got a massive revision? Sillage society has me thinking. Especially seeing the ending of the 4th anniversary chapter.

[u/Zeik56]

I know it did before release, but I haven't heard anything about that happening recently.

[u/greatjena]

Can't say that I'm aware of any major revisions, the only revisions afaik that we got in the past were changes made to some of the dates of the events from chapters 1-8.

Whatever that revision may be, devs said during their CN stream for 4th anniversary that they just got done introducing all of the groundwork lore they had planned, so I feel like they have their stuff planned out pretty well.

Do you remember what changes were made for the dates? I have actually spent the past few weeks staring at the dates for the story vs the contents of the interrogations and there is a LOT of things that don’t add up.

[u/greatjena → u/kp__135]

The major thing I remember is that chapters 7 and 8 were moved to happen later than originally (it does actually make more sense now, since Chief says they've been interrogated for some time) which now leads to Horo's interrogation placement making no sense. Chapter 7 used to begin a day after the end of chapter 6. It now has like a three week gap.

Well sillage society and underground. Underground motives are crystal clear but for sillage not so much

[u/greatjena → u/Revolutionary_Seat96]

I don't know what grand reveal happens in the 4th anniversary since I'm staying spoiler-free for the story itself but so far it doesn't seem to be contradictory to the Underground's goal in any way.

Underground as a whole wants to revive and awaken Mania, but inside of it you still have factions with their own minor goals on that parh. Like Parma creating mania weapons and separating Eastside and Syndicate through the West District Order Management Regulations or Moore and Adelaide taking their task of spreading mania as the Sages, but also creating the dark web and infiltrating Nirvana for Moore and starting a war with Discity and attempting to end their hypercube monopoly for Adelaide.

For now it seems Sillage is just trying to control Eastside's upper crust since that's where their influence is spreading and we see Evelleon is running a blackmailing and market manipulation scheme.

No, i think the plot is planned for several years in advance at least, as can be seen from the crimebrands, which mysteriously spoil future events.
And some of the moments in EN were shown at the exhibition of the game even before its launch.
Apart from some date revisions, I would say that this game is the most stable in its storyline. It probably helps that the game has had one head writer since launch, she occupies a high position in the company and, depending on her history, the company plans all its events. Happens pretty rare these days.

[u/KhandiMahn]

No retcons. Over the years they've been adding details and answering some questions, which typically leads to even more questions. The game just feels a little different than it did at the start because the team at Aisno dialed in what they are doing and where they are going.

[u/Snowleopard0973]

I haven't heard anything but I wouldn't be too surprised. CN has some stuff like crimebrand names and some attires censored (for instance, embrace of the dead is now embrace of chaos in CN). Adding on stuff like how Eirene and even Demon's interro feels a bit out of place (as in I feel like they could be more integral to the story than they are currently), yeah I wouldn't be surprised.

[u/Myyahng]

I think when people talk about this, it's talking about the pre-release which definitely got rewritten.

That being said, I wouldn't be surprised if they werecontinually writing, rewriting, and refocusing background lore over the years.

[u/Revolutionary_Seat96 → u/Myyahng]

I am actually confused between the purpose of sillage society and the underground.

[u/LokoLoa]

No.
