Let's Talk About The Recent Arknights Endfield Trailers.....

[@Tsunul]

I've had so many questions about Enfield and wanted more trailers to answer them... Then, we got more trailers which just leaves me with even more questions, excellent move Hypergryph. Regardless, today at 6:15pm est I am gonna stream Reverse: 1999, a gacha game that released like, 4 hours ago. I aint got any clue what to expect from it, but the music is goated so I'm interested in it.

[@apollyon6618]

Kal'sit's theory got that Angela's million years grind 🗣️🔥💯💯

[@leonardovavassori5556]

if you look carefully, befor patriot comes on screen in the first trailer, we can see the tower of babel with what seems to be the rhodes island landship stuck into it... that is indeed puzzling, considering the fact that rhodes is a company we can see among the crafting stuff in the second one...

[@leonardovavassori5556]

and yah, considering the doctor seems to be a human themselves, this new main character is either the same person or straight up another human

[@tweetug3697]

Some people theorise that Patriot statue and Rhodes landhsip crashing into tower of Babel could be a dream sequence. Look at how their texture looks so clean and white, reminds me of Nier Automata's Copied City.

[@Sam_Hue]

Doctor is most likely dead

[@kenkaneki3873]

The Chen looking character is actually a literal Chen, that's her name. Keep in mind however that Chen is her last name and Huijie is her first name. Angelina is literally Angelina that's her Bloodline of Combat skin. Smug Kaltsit is speculated by CN to be Monster taking her form. Now the big cookening: Endministrator is the actual Doctor, the choice for the Anime Doctors VA aswell as reducing the height compared to previous ingame images makes me think this was all planner in advance. Bonus dish: There was an oooooold datamine way back that had "Angelina the Dimension Traveler"....make of that what you will.

[@Syntaxerrortwenetyone]

Also wasn’t the Rhodes Island landship stuck in a tower?

[@kenkaneki3873]

@@Syntaxerrortwenetyone Yes Rhodes Island crashed in the Tower of Babel

[@Fox.White.]

Smug Kal'tsit is because either this is a prequel and it was all before Kal'tsit had to see Terra become all shit, or this is actually a sequel and Kal'tsit somehow has her moral boosted up maybe because of a new hope

[@Ezekiel_Allium]

​@@Fox.White. or it's not our Kal'tsit. Kal'tsit is AMa _10_ and presumably at least a few of her "sisters" are still out there, potentially all of them if they can revive like she can

[@symphonixblades]

I don't think Endministrator is the actual Doctor after all you can choose between male and female, and the male one by the pic alone seems taller than the Doctor Kalsit don't think she's a monster but there are many Kalsit she's probably just a different one (her hair and eyes color are different than Arknights Kalsit)

[@cob-codeofbrawl7668]

I heard a theory that in the north of ursus, patriot was once fighting "something there" and angelina's BoC skin says something that could relate her to a post in the north of ursus The theory is based on this as if there was a portal that connects terra with talos II, hence why angelina could be there and why there is a statue of patriot

[@wollyram6248]

Nothing confuses a Doktah more then seeing Kaltsit with a genuine smile.

[@Zetsubou-69420]

I am so excited for this game. I hope there is a tower defense mechanism as well like factorio that would be sooo coool.

[@Roriipupper]

2:56 Oh snap that's me. MOM GET THE CAMERA!!!

[@Rocker67890]

So protag's race is spoiler territorybut in short them and the Doc are apart of the race called precursors, which will be covered on the lone trail event that happens on the 7th, also from that BoC angelina skin hints at her being able to wrap reality.

[@Shadow6OO]

Quick, how much of the lore do I need to catch up to to be ready for Lone Trail? I just finished up chapter 6. Are there any side stories that I need to read as well to understand the main chapters?

[@tweetug3697]

@@Shadow6OO Well, you could read the Rhine Lab manga to see how did exactly the Ifrit's accident went down and see Saria's and Kirsten's relationship which is pretty important in Lone Trail.

[@Shadow6OO]

@tweetug3697 I did actually read those when they came out in English (because let's be honest, it's a much more interesting medium to read them then what Arknights is normally limited to). I think I'll mainly just try to read through the main chapters (but hop to the Reed event story before ch. 12, since her sister(?) showed up in that one chapter 12 mission for some reason), so is there any other side content that intersects with the main story that much?

[@TrollBishbaalkin]

​​@@Shadow6OO other than Vigilo, probably not. The only event that affect most of the future in arknights timeline are Abyssal Hunters event and Lone Trail. Others affect the world on a smaller scale other than these 2, unless the new Lethanien event actually ending up with us killing the Witch King. Reed event might affect main story later as in the recent episode it only talks about the conflict between Dublinn and Neo Reunion.

[@Shadow6OO]

@putrarusadi2933 I thought Abyss Hunter stories took place in an alternate universe. Is Lone Trail an AU as well?

[@altaraeastral9288]

kal's name is Ama-10, maybe the smiling kal could be another Ama?

[@smugofbishamonten1447]

Ama - : )

[@Fox.White.]

Probably her in another body

[@hanzulco]

A squad full of Kaltsit are no longer a dream

[@UpdateJM]

Someone was listening to Lonetrail story. Good, very good :)

[@CheztaAhmad]

I have no clue about Arknights lore but I think that happy looking Kaltsit girl is her daughter instead of Kaltsit herself. Angelina might've time-travelled, or something, and that Patriot statue confirms that this world is after Arknights. The doctor nickname being brought up again strengthen this theory, atleast thats what I think. We might've saved Terra, but back to cryosleep we go (one way or another) and voila, awaken again in this Endfield era.

[@iotaku]

"wake up doctor we in arknights part 2"

[@bishamon1075]

Ange got gravity-manipulating arts so its just 1 step away from time-manipulating arts right..!?

[@degeneratewithasideoftidep6795]

Yeah, if you can bend space enough through gravity, you might just end up with time travel

[@Delinard]

And bloodline of combat skin does highly imply this is the case with text "Substance of reality slowly flows between her fingers and her tools"

[@wymarsane7305]

Angelina has reached Heaven.

[@yang8271]

Spoilers! That Kal'tsit like figure is another AMA Model, another model of the project AMA, which Kal'tsit also originated from. The AMA are basically servents for the Ancestors, the human race The Endministrator, AKA Player Character, is one of the Ancestors, so, problably that figure is their servant as well. She's not Kal'tsit. Perlica is Liberi, she's a... pelican

[@mojavefry2617]

Perlica confirmed to be sucky glucky champion, Ptilopsis would be proud.

[@SigmentKurosai]

I'd like to point out that, in the crafting menu at the end of the Gameplay Demo, we can clearly see products with Rhodes Island's logo on them, with others bearing the Endfield Industries logo. So Rhodes Island very much currently exists at the time this game takes place.

[@gajinka]

kal'tsit is a construct and the one we have in the main game is AE0010(can't remember the exact number) so there is a big chance that this kal is another construct

[@gajinka]

also angilina's arts have hints to the fact that the power to control gravity can bend space and time plus the old datamine of "angilina the dimension traveller" being planned to be the first alter instead of skadi proves that angilina probably jumped forward in time to endfeild

[@SoulWhiteAngel]

As a note Perlica isnt a cat girl. You can see no tail for starters and her ears are more akin to an owl. Check ptilopsis. As for male, due to ult in trailer im led to believe hes a lupo.

[@wymarsane7305]

Maybe she's a pelican.

[@SoulWhiteAngel]

@@wymarsane7305 seems like a stretch no?

[@dremfalkro2945]

The trailer says our journey ends in the north. thats why Buldrokkas'tee statue makes sense, since wendigos protect the northend tundra from colossal monsters just like ægirians fight the seaborn in the ocean.

[@reicoo6326]

Well if you look the crafting system in the gameplay at the end there Endfield Industrial logo and Rhodes Island logo soo perhaps it set pretty far future of arknights and in the tralier with the Rhodes Island landship crash in the Babel tower which pretty wild lore wise

[@ssrb3183]

Technically this could still be the past, as Rhodes Island existed before events taking place in Arknights. PRTS showed Doctor and Priestess in RI uniforms, and that was hundreds, maybe thousands of years in the past.

[@iotaku]

I can imagine just a drunk ass doctor ramming straight into babel like an idiot

[@mariapazgonzalezlesme]

Another interesing about this Endministrator / Doctor is capable of fighting, while Doctor's Arknights is a tactician. However, it's explained that being in a coma severely weakened them.

[@symphonixblades]

then this is not Doctor and the ending phrase was just a little Easter egg. Because the Endministrator have two types, types A is a taller male Endministrator, and type B is a shorert female one. Not only that the Endministrator will be awaken from a coma when Endfield starts and they are said to be Endfield Industries biggest weapon, keep in mind that we are also in Talos II now not in Tera, so I don't think Endministrator and Doctor are the same person, because the ending also calls him oracle as well

[@wymarsane7305]

Hey Dicky can fight! Granted, they've only gotten physical one against one opponent who couldn't fight back, but they absolutely won!

[@comdnoive]

Angelina's skin says she has reality bending powers which can explain how she's there. The MC's race is probably whatever Priestess is.

[@Quadrolithium]

If you remember the first teaser trailer. Oripathy, the Originium disease is no longer a problem as you see it burn away from Perlica. This "Blight" appears different from the usual sharp edged originium, as if it appears "organic" this is likely a quirk of the planet Talos II and it seems that it "erupts" whenever vast amounts of originium is nearby. As if it hates it's existence. I also notice a change of tone when it comes to Originium, in the original Arknights, Originium is treated like a hot potato, here, Originium is seen as a complete positive. "The Originium Industrial Complex will save our Colony" heck even in Gameplay, Huge Originium crystals that serve as teleport hubs is left open/exposed. "Yeah, it's safe, don't worry about it." The scenes with Rhodes Island, Babel, and Patriot are stylized, this is likely dream sequences for our Endministrator, who might be there when it happened, as for the setting, I expect it to be in the Far Future, after the success of Lonetrail. Why Angelina is there? Bloodline of Combat represents the operators at their prime. It's description says that the universe flows from her fingertips. Angelina's arts control gravity. And gravity bends space and time. Which means, Angelina can now make portals and can travel through time. As for Kal'tsit. She is AMa-10. What happened to AMa-1 - AMa-9? And like there not just 10 of her. The progenitors likely made more of Kal.

[@lapchaell]

Doctor isimplied to not be of any animal like race in ak, since our new mc has been in cryostasis too (probably in sarcophagus) we can assume shes the same race as doctor

[@GrimoireLeSot]

I was the hapiest man for 5 whole hours seeing the ending of the endfield trailer with Angelina. I can now rest easy

[@blazznfire8685]

"Just give me a date and I'll be there." I agree.

[@mrrp405]

my theory’s that it’s another “kaltsit” built separately to the one we know, and that the patriot statue is something that was built upon arriving on the new planet because he’s AWESOME

[@UpdateJM]

Huge Spoiler: In her notes from Endfield its said, that Angelina is CURED. So it seems that Angelina is straight coming for an operation to Endfield an that Enfield is playing somehow in the future of Terra (Portal towards another planet with catastrophes as well)

[@cuz0176]

I'm lovin the content!

[@Owlzz_]

I think the statue of patriot is something we can build ourself in the game like in base or something

[@UserdVidas]

Possible theory's ( just my thoughts btw) : 1. Maybe this is just a completely different universe with characters that are widely known form the world of Arknights/Terra. (Something like "Honkai Impact 3d" with "Honkai : Star rail" having the characters with similar names from Honkai Impact. Like Seele or Himeko. -Maybe this is a marketing thing?) 2nd Theory is that this is way past the point in Arknights "History". It would go something like this : Terra -> ( as in some, bc idk who ) discovers what is happening with the sky/space and decides to venture out by building a spaceship (I think it would be possible with and "Originium reactor" or something (+ that woud explain why originium is mentioned in Endfield). Maybe even more nations make their own spaceships (maybe for survival or profit) 3. Maybe Terra is the aftermath of Talos-II. What I mean is maybe you as protagonist saved the planet form a disaster, but brought Originium as another disaster. (Note: this theory is the least likely because it questions form where exactly Originium comes from. + The technology used in Endfield looks way more high-tech then Arknights.) Also we don't know how far exactly Endfield is from current Arknights. U can point out anything false or things I overlooked. I just came to conclusions from what I remember form the lore of Arknights + Endfield trailer

[@JAzure-hk1sx]

I would say it's close to 2nd one rather than the other. Since lone trail events shows terra was enveloped by sort of barrier from doc's era as a preventive measure to not let otherworldy being spying on them. And probably, post that event, terra was finally have a tech to open/control that barrier (or using a door on the northern sami territory, which, implies that doc will open it in some times in future(valarquin op record, iirc))

[@Zalian]

Angelina the timespace traveler!

[@jillstingray8828]

Extremely big spoilers related to Kal'tsit Kal'tsit is also called AMa-10. That means there were at least 9 more variants like her.

[@scyrra9908]

Endministrator seemingly being a standard human isn't new but it is very rare. As far as im aware aside from rainbow team the only other standard looking human is the doctor who apparently doesn't have animal traits (also priestess but i don't know much about her)

[@paybacksuper3670]

Just wait for lone trail event, the answer is in that event. From Doctor race, what kal sit is, terra problem, ancient civilization outside terra and doomed star system.

[@natchu96]

The Doctor and Priestess have both looked/implied to be bizarrely non-animal even in the first game tbh.

[@alektralainheart8541]

This is my theory take it at your own risk = Tallos 2 are different planet and this isnt the first time it got visited by us. Remember there is 3 BIG APO stuff in Terra, Alien base-Originium in the sky, Fish evolving hiveman in the south and what the north called? demon? I think it more like Stone Demon base on what we see in the story. If that the case old Civil would make space travel for sure, and tellos 2 would be one of the end goal, Rhodes Island would be the ARK sent there to open the path and build first. I think our character are terminal build for certain purpose, if Kal is construct to keep terra stable and our Doctor is the terminal task to fix those 3 big APO it would make sense. If this one have connection, it would be after we(Doctor) either fix the APO or at least open the path in terra then we begin this Endfield story.

[@nomad123ad]

Base building looking sick tho. I'm in!

[@Enyi2306]

maybe there´s a kal´sit in every planet(?

[@Gacha-Ritual-Master]

we really are colonizing this planet eh? with all the machines the game seems to let you install I assume you can even extract the sould of the planet as a resource :v the light, the shadows, the sounds and smeels, there will be a machine to extract it all XD

[@iotaku]

1-7 auto farm gonna be lit

[@dergrive88]

For the people that don't read lore, there are 10 different Kal'tsits, im not gonna explain why or how, just know that our Kal'tsit is the 10th one, so this one could be one of the from 1-9

[@neptop8978]

sorry...... the "skip" button is just so tempting

[@yukawelkynd4576]

​@@neptop8978I agree

[@junkname9983]

endminster is same race as the doctor, they're older than ancients. Terra is the continent, on a planet that's unnamed. there could be other continents on the planet. you get to end field via a portal on terra. don't know if it's on the same planet or what

[@Zoeila]

Her race will be answered in long trail event

[@96kami31]

Its only obvious they went silent for almost a year, they're cooking some mad shit.

[@GhostTrueCapitalist]

Can't be Arknights... without some kind of life-threatening disease...

[@zoishiworld]

i still think Talos-II is Terra in the future, and the Patriot statue is located in Ursus (He was like a hero of ursus, right?)

[@draaxus2969]

Talos II is likely a different planet in the same star system since Talos is namedropped as a star in Lonetrail

[@manyblock4192]

It could be in Past, where Wendigo Race is oldest race and strongest race at that time Currently in AK, Patriots is last seen Wendigo race and it's kinda weird if they build a statue for One of terrorist group lmao

[@wigglyjiggly4583]

It makes more sense to me that it's in the past

[@gigablast4129]

this is gona be interesting

[@sandscribe7460]

But if kal is a construct can't kal-2 be another different construct?

[@ZAYKONN]

Tsu, I know it's probably not on purpose, but Ch'en's race is not "Lung", "Lungmenites" are the people that live in Lungmen, Ch'en race is the same as Talulah, a Draco. *But not the same as Loughshinny or Eblana, that is, an actual dragon.

[@Willie_Shakes]

Ch'ens race in her profile in game is listed as Lung. Draco and Lung are distinct "dragon" races alongside Vouivre which are more wyven-like in nature.

[@donovanroberto841]

In game file says otherwise. Ch'en, Lee, Wei Yenwu are Lung, while Talulah, Reed, and Eblana are Dracos

[@tweetug3697]

Lung is eastern dragon, Draco is western dragon. Even in the story, Talulah being half Lung and Half Draco is a plot point and the reason as to why she's related to Victoria. Both of them is dragon, just different regions. Lung is an actual recognized race in Terra.

[@ArifLateng1]

If you want to know who is this kaltist 2.0 you need to read kaltstit and amiya module it will give you the answer.

[@t0uchme343]

Aggeloi = angels in greek. Sankta are the real enemies...

[@Did_No_Wrong]

This game is probably like Honkai star rail where this is an alternate world but characters with similar appearances of the original Arkknight characters appear throughout the chapters.

[@Tsu-375]

Happy kal armpits 😋

This is not PM what is this?
