If this left you feeling mirserable.. you're not ready as this is still the relativity happy part of her history. Her Majesity is Titania the Empress of Glamoth.

[@ntaelstrom]

"Her Majesty" is Titania, the False Empress of Glamoth. Basically, she was an engineered woman from whom all the Fireflies were templated and who commanded them telepathically through dreams. She wasn't "real," though; her Empire was a motivational fantasy to keep the Iron Cavalry fighting while she was controlled by the ruling council of the Republic of Glamoth (who feared her realizing she could take power with the Iron Cavalry under her command). Basically, they weren't just fighting for something that was already dead like Firefly said; they were fighting and dying for something that never really existed at all.

[@numiplus]

this hurts the more i learn dude what the hell 😭

[@retokazene]

Jinrui ni eikou are

[@BNuts]

What's more, the Fyrefly units were all 'Boy In The Incubator' and 'Girl In The Incubator' type of characters. Like all of the clones Otto had made, but with the sole purpose of fighting. It's a good thing for the universe they were aimed at the Swarm, otherwise who knows who or what might have survived in the end. Or perhaps it's in the hope of something good surviving, of life reasserting itself, that our Firefly was able to keep on fighting, you might say, "for all that is beautiful in the world." You can't convince me Firefly _isn't_ Kiana Kaslana in this game. She's a clone with great power that might kill her if she uses it too much, a being balancing her own destruction against that of the world she's trying to protect. "Kaslanas die, but never yield!" indeed. Maybe it wasn't originally her choice to take the oath, but it seems she did. Firefly is so much more than just a Glamoth Iron Cavalry, just like Kiana is more than just a Human with Herrscher powers. And for that, there will be those who will always, in turn, protect _her_ . People like Trailblazer... and Acheron. If they also met Bronya, then the Trio will again be together. Although Bronya needs to awaken to becoming an Emanator to be on their level for sure.

9:47 glamoth is a interplanetary civilization, meaning they can already travel between planets in their star system according to fandom wiki. If we could theorize that if glamoth's homeplanet is destroyed and the unnamed planet firefly stood on(or the glamoth's homeplanet was the one firefly stood on) is destroyed too, there might be a possibility of another SAM soldiers that are survived the swarm attack on the another planet, which we can see at the end scene there is still an another planet.

From the looks of it, after the first initial wave of Swarm was defeated. Firefly single handedly took on the 2nd wave by herself and took them out. What i recall from the lore the ending is just a metaphor of what happened after the war as even though Glamoth won they couldn't recover after and eventually faded away.

[@ubermenschen01]

This one takes place after the Myriad Celestia; Firefly has the hair ribbons. I don't think they got to meet up again... Interestingly, this means that Sam was not the first Stellaron Hunter. Elio worked with someone before recruiting Kafka, and Sam was there with Kafka when Blade was recruited. It was assumed that Sam came first. The Empress was "Titania", either a leader that telepathically controlled the Iron Cavalry, or a figurehead used Glamoth's government to control the Iron Cavalry. The Glamoth orb/rope have the story if you want to read it; the two stories conflict with one another on some parts, in a "this empire is long dead so we don't know" way. Glamoth "altered the essence of humanity" to "create a weapon born to fight"; clones or test-tube babies of some sort, since there are differences we can see between the SAM units. Titania sounds to me either an AI that controlled the soldiers, and caused them to eventually rebel (less likely given this trailer), or essetially a mythological figure for propaganda, like the human council in Nier Automata (yes we're here up in the moon, no you can't see us, and if you try to we'll kill you. Now go die down there taking back Earth).

If you mean the marks, they appeared on all other fireflies in the myriad celestia. I’m not quite sure if that’s a sign of the syndrome because they seem to appear exclusively when they’re in the suit. They start to manifest when they’re beginning to summon the armor and retract when they exit it. If that’s effectively a sign of the syndrome, then the last one who showed up was probably in a more advanced state since her marks didn’t disappear when she exited the suit

[@hays3809]

Just a speculation, But I think the end had to do with Titania, her majesty. As firefly was the sole survivor not only of the Iron Calvary, and the Glamoth empire, she is also the sole surviving clone of Titania. Titania is known as the fairy queen, Firefly having wings at the end could signify the fact that she has become Titania somehow, which explains her powers being absurd at the end.

I will do everything to protect my dear Hotaru-chan (including E6 jk ... unless?) I've seen a comic on twitter of Caelus and Firefly where Caelus teaches Firefly to be more edgy by watching Blade and that's my headcannon for what happened between them!

[@heliokester8164]

We're on the same page with Numi here. We all want to Firefly to be happy.

Why does this game make me cry every time

[@Chronosynco]

Kafka’s appearance leaves me confused now about the order of when they joined the hunters cause the story has always alluded to firefly/SAM being the first but also Kafka🤤😍 was shedding tears for our baby and then mother showed up, I’m sorry I got distracted😔

[@RoinotnaR]

Oh WoW that was brutal... Much much more than expected.

[@konsanalite]

Their Empress is named Titania i think. Although Glamoth no longer exist, the Empress and other Glamoth civilization must've probably out there somewhere in the astral cosmos. And probably continues to clone more fireflies since the Swarm threat already spread among the cosmos similar how Xianshou alliance does in their divine mandate against the threat of Yaoshi.

Gawd damn sam's cracked af, also guys we aint see em there so they aint dead 😊

I have a feeling the whole tree is her dream of living shown as imagery as when she takes off it isnt there but thar might just be me rambling

this video really recontexualizes Ruan Mei recreating this thing in the basement

ya gurl has been throu alot numi

[@foxyrouge8775]

Lowkey wondering is firefly is an emanator of any sort. Literally soloing a planet to crumbs is quite concerning😃

[@numiplus]

YEAH ACTUALLY..

[@kyrogamingvt9716]

I was almost thinking that too, because there no shot it took thzt many fireflies to fight the swarm mother if they all have that kind of power. My current theory is the tree seed thing mzy have given her z power boost which may have helped her live this long. My first thought is maybe abundance but idk if that majes any sense consiste yaoshi has kinda been a bad guy thus far. Idk if shes Emanator status but surely theres more going on than meets the eye

[@Umizuha1579]

@@kyrogamingvt9716 It shouldn't be Yaoshi since they weren't around during the Swarm Disaster (to be fair the lore is kinda hazy on when exactly Glamoth fell, just that it was due to the Swarm and long enough ago that the only information remaining was theories by historians).

[@foxyrouge8775]

@@kyrogamingvt9716 yah I also thought sum about the abundance but I think that tree was just metaphoric. Maybe a power up?? I HAVE SO MANY QUESTION AHHHHHHHH IS SHE THE INLY ONE WITH THE COMBUSTION STATE???

[@nolifeSnorlax]

Me who already saw the trailer: oh god Numi is gonna cry 😭

[@shulaze]

I feel like the characters we saw in the Myriad Celestia weren't wiped out or even apart of that mission. They put a good amount of detail into their design for them to go to waste.

[@infamous-drive6299]

Bro this was a fight in their Homeplanet every unit would have been called to defend it and everyone that is not Firefly died

[@Palarisha77]

I thought in one of the cinematically, with firefly in the car with blade, she talks about not having a lot of time left, and I assumed she would die soon because she’s genetically engineered. And I figured that’s what she meant by she’ll see them soon.

[@Chumbv]

This trailer was brutal...

[@numiplus]

it hurt so bad 😭
