0:44 Those are the names of Operators that died during the whole Chernobog operation

[@NareshSinghOctagon]

So we know that Warfarin was mentioned,being an immortal vampire and such,and probably the other immortals are still around,the Nian siblings for example(along with the other Feranmuts),so we'll have to see. Chen Qianyu is a descendant confirmed,as per her file,Ch'en Hui-chieh is a clan legend for the House Of Chen,makes me wonder what she thinks about her aunt. Angelina being more then just a clone,apparenly that Heterocore has also retained some developmental aspects that one gets when growing up,which would be different for an actual clone. This is,of course,all in the Endmins' mind as part of their hibernation aspect,so probably what they're seeing is what was directly passed down to them,and not all the deaths were heroic in nature,Atro being one of them. Perhaps as the main game progresses,more and more those graves will be given legible names,for Operators who have fallen in the line of duty,those who have passed of old age,graves for non-Operators who were tragically lost or passed away peacefully,and maybe some extra bits,like mentioning that they've left family behind or a quote that best descibes their life. Perhaps they should even let you revisit this area of the Endmins' mind so you can always refer to it,there's a lot of good things that can be done with this,and I just hope they don't let sit by and do nothing more with it.

[@healthycookie2973]

Don‘t know if that counts as a spoiler but just to be sure… There’s also the possibility that the Nian siblings don‘t exist anymore because they fused together right?

@@healthycookie2973 ,true,meaning that they failed in their fight to defeat Sui. Albeit,I think they'll actually pull through it,at a heavy cost,we'll just have to wait and see.

So there must be another extinction threat at the end of arknights if the immortal ones are confirmed dead. I heard there are no oripathy tho, maybe something bigger than that, war, meteor, famine, bad wifi

[@NareshSinghOctagon]

@@Einzhold ,with no confirmation,we don't know. We do know that there were generations worth that fought in the North to get access to the portal that leads to Talos-II. Oripathy,however,is still a thing,but by the time of Endfield,at some point,Rhodes Island has managed to drop it from a lethal terminal ilness to a chronic minor lifelong discomfort,ain't no cure,but definitely a great result,so long as you keep to your strict medical schedule. And yes,Meteors' midriff is definitely world ending stuff.

[@Surtr174]

@@NareshSinghOctagon "Oripathy,however,is still a thing". And thats already a massive issue. So we know that everything we do in Arknights is end up in this result. It completely hardlocks Arknights lore in that regard. Endfield is a mistake with it being in the same timeline and in the future.

[@PaladinGuy]

I can't find the exact quote, but when Diego Luna was asked why anyone should care about his character in Andor, when everyone knows his fate in Rogue One, his response was along the lines of, "Our stories aren't about how we die, they're about how we lived." Everyone, real or fiction, has an end, but our stories are still being written and are worth experiencing.

[@akiraofthemoon]

This is just straight up sad. Ofc like 99% of ops wont make it to 500+ years but just the implications that all we witness now lead to this future and they're all dead makes me quite sad in general. This also opens up questions of bloodlines, descendants etc etc But I think the biggest thing to me is how little the current lives of our operators mattered in the grand scheme of things. The world moved on without them and I just hope they lived long, fulfilled and happy lives. This dropping around the release of Eyja Alter, with Eyja herself having quite the sad story, losing hearing etc, just crushes my heart a tad more.

[@Surtr174]

Its a dumb move. They limited where Arknights can go to story wise with Endfield being in the future while Arknights is still the main game. Its amazing how not a single company has learned this considering it backfired every single god damn time.

[@akiraofthemoon]

@@Surtr174 honestly, dropping this game while the main game hasn't even finished will create a big lore clusterfuck or mess with what they can do, as you said. It was and is a bad idea. Also calling it Arknights Endfield when only like 1% is related to our current Arknights feels a bit wrong.

I doubt her cryo pod can live that long. Sarcophagus was never build to slow aging based on is3 end 4. So doctor being able to survive 10k+ years probably due to his race have a long life.

[@NareshSinghOctagon]

This comes down to time dialation due to speed. The faster you travel,the slower times moves for your locality,so if Kristens' ship goes fast enough,depending on what path she takes and how far away Talos-II actually is,it is entirely possibly for her to only have aged a few years in the current 500 span between AK and AK:E. Go fast enough,and you can even drop down that number to months. Of course,if she shows up,she'll get to be the unhappy camper who realises that taking the portal might've been a tad bit easier.

@@wanabid98 because death is the worst thing to exist in this fucking world, without it we would be happy, life would be literally a perfect dream, utopia, but with it nothing matters, life sucks, you will need to go through unimaginable hell of losing your self-awareness for ever, without any rebirths or heavens, it's worse than any torture known to humankind

[@Surtr174]

@@DantalianN Depends on their actions. But generally speaking yes. But it also locks arknights lore now. Having this time setting for Endfield was a massive mistake unless its an alternative timeline and non-canon for arknights.

So they make a game that takes place in the future and they refuse to tell us that all the operators are dead. Scummy.

I dunno, I feel they totally could have made tombs whose names lasted longer XD Everyone is gone, but I am curious about those who are left if any. Warfarin is one, but the sui siblings totally could still be around. Kjera too. It all depends on the end of their story lines

Remember all the developments and relationships you had with your operators..yeah forget all of that because they’re all dead

[@therealfart8131]

Hoping they don't dig too much into the past when the game does release, such as what's happened with Terra as that could definitely cause some problems with the main game. As long as they stick to keeping things cryptic or vague, there shouldn't be too many problems. It'll be nice to have some things set in stone, however, such as the deaths of characters or the current status of Rhodes Island, oripathy and whatnot.

[@mumusyse]

I'm getting mixed opinions on how far into the future Endfield is, but I'm really hoping it's not 500 years. It would be absurdly unsatisfying if all the Operators we know and love who weren't explicitly stated to be immortal/long lived are just... dead. Even though it would be unrealistic to expect written conclusions to all of their stories, the whole concept just feels wrong.

[@PossessedbyPhoenix]

But at the same time it gives more freedom to the writers compared to a direct sequel to avoid players getting mad about killing off fan-favorites and going "OMG they survived all these events in Arknights just to die to some punk, Endfield is noncanon trash!" Not to mention Arknights hasn't ended so there could be timeline hiccups if Endfield is set near present time.

[@mumusyse]

@@PossessedbyPhoenix I can see where you're coming from, but if that's the case they ought to just make a new IP. Not that it would be an easy task, and it would certainly disappoint some fans thereby shafting their potential audience right out of the gate, but if they want a fresh start a 500 year timeskip in an already established franchise is not the way to do it. Or at least not in my eyes.

Well, the 500 years are already removed for some reason.

This just makes me clone shit much more contrived and stupid, like a way to make Arknights players soyjack at the sight of a popular character they recognized. At this point just fucking make a robot frostnova, cus they sure dont give a shit about things making sense anymore

[@Zatweeb]

Agreed, why don’t we just have Frostnova already then.

[@NareshSinghOctagon]

Yes,it does make sense. As stated in Angelinas' own profile,she's more then just a clone,but the Heterocore system doesn't make them an extact duplicate,they are their own people. Angelina is basically no different to the original Doctor eating closet pervert then Quinyu is to the original fruit cake dragon lady,similaties for sure,but not the same. As for no FrostNova?...respecting the dead,her body long gone dead,the Heterocore system not being around before she was turned into ash,her dying in a place no where near any sort of facility that can replicate her mind,etc,etc.

The release of Endfield wont be around until a few more years down the road. Likely at least when Act 3 of Arknights ends.

[@cefrinaldi8060]

Its 500 years after arknight. Of course so many ops will already dead. Aside from kaltsit, she probably monologueing somewhere. Also the sarkaz might be still live and well and perhaps refuse to leave terra. the feranmut (sui sibling and kjera) and faereus (high priest, the emperor) might happen to be in talos. As for the dokutah, we did know from is3 that they can live quite long so its possible we might saw them on endfield.

[@IJNAoba9-25-26]

I'm more amazed at the fact that our operators actually get a chance to be buried, as usually since most of them are infected, the best course of action would be to burn their bodies. It's why the ark has it's dedicated incinerator.

[@momsaccount4033]

The gravestones don’t mean that the dead bodies of the operators are buried. They just record the names of those who’ve passed.

Graves don't necessarily have to contain bodies you know. Quite a few graves serve just as a memento.
