One thing I never see KZbinrs taking into account is the fact that FTL comm signals can take decades to travel across the galaxy without the use of the mass relays and we're most likely hearing OLD signals from the Reaper War hitting the galactic fringes long after the fact. This is most likely misdirection from BioWare to keep all but the most hardcore fans guessing. Thank you for noticing and covering this fact.

Nice analysis! A "many worlds interpretation" plot might mean that not only every ending is canon, but that every decision made from every different Shepard is simultaneously canon and non canon, depending on the universe. What you experience is just one of the many possibilities. Maybe there's an universe where the Reapers were defeated early because the Council chose to believe Shepard instead of being obstructive bureaucrats at every turn. That would be kind of funny.
@jarivuorinen3878
@jarivuorinen3878 7 ай бұрын
The many worlds interpretation though kind of feels wrong, it means that original Shepard is done and gone in universe where we played original trilogy. This Shepard Liara and folks then go pick it up again from the crash site is no more Shepard than the clone Shepard is in Citadel DLC, that ends up dead. Why not just recover this clone instead, his body is probably in much better shape? Both come from same pile of meat that was recovered, I mean the Citadel clone Shepard, and this speculative interdimensional corpse that would be new Shepard. They are identical twins to real Shepard, but neither of these other Shepards has done anything in Mass Effect 2 and 3. So yeah, we'd have blank slate Shepard, who has no friends, no achievements or relationships after saving the Citadel, no deeper understanding of Reapers, and no galactic hero reputation. Easy character to write on because ME2 and 3 can be ignored from character perspective, only leaving plot history in place. But why stop there either, now that there's this parallel universe, why not have whole game there instead, rewriting the plot completely as well...

Voices 4 & 5 are the Kett. It sounds identical to them & even what they say sort of makes sence. "They do match" meaning(the species here match them that turned up in Andromeda) & "Upon an unknown horizon" possibly meaning(they are coming towards our galaxy) which would be an Unknown horizon.

It would also fit the themes surrounding the kett - imperialism and colonialism a la 17th-19th century British.

Are you an incarnation of Sherlock? You did an insanely lot of investigation and it's a well put together video with a professional outlook. Awesome work! The N7 Morse code is a cool detail. Those audio snippets are really hard to understand. I have to listen to them a few more times. That's our local cluster? Damn. Mass Effect: Homecoming Some crazy-unhinged-not-to-take-seriously ideas that just popped up in my head during the video: What if in the parallel universe the Jardaan are the Reapers and trying to achieve synthesis by creating the Angara. What if in the parallel universe Liara took Alec's offer (and that's him in the background) and went to Andromeda so never met with Shepard. Also there would be two Liara on the Mudskipper. 😂 The parallel universe's Shepard can feel like cloneShep. In the case of Perfect Destroy there would be two Shepard. But why would they look for the other if they have the original? 🤨 The main storyline have to be the same for everyone. Will they find the otherShep accidentally while investigating the aftermath of the Crucible beam?

Appreciate it, thank you! I did some serious thinking on whether aspects of parallel worlds will be a huge part of the next game's plot, and from what we've seen so far, I don't think it will be. There's enough plot threads from Andromeda to continue the story, IMO. So as of right now, I think the parallel worlds (if it's even a thing) will only be used to get Shepard back for the Synthesis and normal Destroy playthroughs. What we see in the trailer might not apply to all players (like if Perfect Destroy Shep is alive, then Liara wouldn't need to hop to a parallel world to grab a different Shep).

@@paragonseven Yeah, but hopping into a parallel universe (if it's a thing) is quite a big event that can change the world state drastically. Like finding the Prothean ruins on Mars.

@@paragonseven I aggre that it's not necessarily at all. And everything depends on what BW decided to happen. (Who knows if this will be the main topic of MENext??????) I personally don't want parallel universes or time travel in ME for the sake of narrative problem solving or just to bring Shepard back. (I believe they are creative enough to write themselves out of this mess.) But if they chose this route it should occure "naturally" (that grows out of the game's worldbuilding), based on the Crucible beam's aftereffect, the scourge, black holes, etc. Which means it can happen even if they let Shepard rest in peace or if Perfect Destroy is canon and Shepard is well and alive.

I think the biggest stretch in the video is the Feynman theory. The description says "24 moons", the trailer only shows 2 instead of, say, 9 or more. While it's more important to humanity than most others, the evidency is shaky at best. And regarding the quantum mechanics, what stops Liara from collecting tens, hundreds, thousands of Shepards, if she has an easy access to timeline traversal? What does she need this parallel Alchera Shepard for (or any dead Shepard for that matter if there're worlds with alive ones)? And again, this theory completely disregards the original "omg Shep is alive" moment, so why not show that one instead?

I agree the wrinkles don't mean that Liara has gotten a lot older. When you look at Benezia, Samara, and Aethyta, all of them are matriarchs and they don't have those wrinkles. Also, when doing the crash site mission, you can find your old helmet and you take it back to your cabin. Also, during Project Lazarus, they say that the helmet helped keep his brain intact or something like that. So when Liara found Shepard's body to give to Cerberus, did she leave the helmet? And if she did, you can find the same helmet on Alchera during the memorial mission. With all of that, I find it very hard to believe that that is Shepard's helmet. If it were, it would be on Earth or on the Citadel. The helmet is the most confusing part to me.

Liara getting the body back is in a comic they wrote and in fact Liara grabs the body and brings it to cerberus but she isn't the one to go to the crash site to recover it. Some Shadow Broker operatives did it and Liara manages to "steal" the body before it can be delivered. So who knows what that operative did with the Helmet. If they put Shepard in a sort of cryo stasis to avoid the body decomposing they might have removed the helmet... they might alos have removed it just so the face shows so that there is no doubt on the identity of the body ?

No offense but I really don't think it would be a Shepard from a parallel universe. Because the Shepard we love and want to see again is the Shepard that went through the trilogy with us, the one that faced down the reaper in all 3 games with us, not a different one from another universe. And I think bioware knows that. It wouldn't be smart to revive a Shepard that we have no emotional connection with.

And if that is the case then it adds to this parallel world/multiverse theory because some might consider taking a different shepard from their world and plonking them in "our" world as taking things too far, simply travelling to a parallel could also be considered taking it too far given how dangerous it could be.

A lot of things make so much sense, and I remember Michael Gamble replying to someone who was questioning how they would handle a story set in the Milky way with ME 3 three endings, by saying that they found a way to solve it, and the paralel universe theory seems the most likely.

I just hope they don't bring him/her back as playable character once again...i'd rather see him/her return as some kind of major support role NPC like Anderson or Hacket, who presence would be felt throughout the entire game, instead of having brief role...but yet not being playable character...

I can't stress enough just how jawdropping and legshaking this video is. Been watching other people do breakdowns of the trailer, but their explanations didn't sit right with me. UNTIL I saw your video. Personally, I really hope Shepard is returning, because the character that we've been building throughout 3 games didn't really get a proper ending, meaning, there must be more adventures to go on! And also I often recall a scene in the end of ME3, where stargazing child says "Tell me another story about the Shepard" and Stargazer grandpa answers "It's getting late, but ok, one more story". Also, the planet they are on kinda resembles Alchera? Big moon with smaller moon seen on the sky, wintery atmosphere or smth... Or maybe I'm overthinking :) Anyway, looking forward to more content

I'm skeptical about the planet being Alchera just because of the Sky used for the planet, The Planet of Alchera is located in the Omega Nebula which is in the Terminus Systems on the other side of the Milky Way so there is no way you'd be able to see anything relating to the SOL system from Alchera with the naked eye.

Regardless if it's the Local cluster or not, the same cluster shown on Alchera is in the trailer, so either way, Alchera is still confirmed. Which is the crazy part anyway. :)

I like to think Mike Gamble is sitting in his office watching all these videos and being yeah they’re close 🤣🤣 Update so this probably nothing but I have the same thumbnail you used as my desktop backdrop just without the words so if you look kind of below Lara’s chin, you can see that they’re on a plateau that’s pretty high up because there is cloud cover, but it could be fog too, but it looks like they’re pretty high up in the mountains or on a plateau just a curious observation

Hear me out @Paragon7. My biggest problems with this explanation are for one that Alchera is halfway across the galaxy from Earth so there is NO WAY you gonna see the Local Cluster in the sky like that, but frankly it is detail so maybe just don't refer to this nebula/cluster as LC? But mostly I'm hoping that this explanation is wrong because both backwards time travel and parallel worlds is gonna completely destroy the original Mass Effect lore which was already stretched enough by the Andromeda and do we really want to pay this price for the Shepard's return? I have another idea, what if this teaser is not to be taken literally, what if it's symbolic, acknowledging the many different endings of ME3 and maybe saying they are gonna make it up for the sacrifice of those who chose the non-surviveable endings of ME3? Because the parallel universe Shepard is just as problematic as Shepard clone. It is NOT the Shepard we know in ME2 and 3 and that is a big problem, for all we know (ahem ahem Invincible) parallel Shepard might even be outright evil.

Cool analysis. There's a detail that wasn't mentioned... at the end of Mass Effect 3, in the destroy version of the story, which is obviously the cannon ending judging by the two dead Reapers in the trailer, Shepard is still alive. We see Shepard breath on the very last scene. Why would Bioware do that if Shepard has nothing to do with the story of Mass Effect anymore?

15:20 I hear “a hidden probe relay”. If not I’m 99% sure it says relay. Could be the use of relays during multiverse/blackhole travel. Possibly explaining how a black hole doesn’t destroy the ship, as you never see a relay’s effect on the structure of the ship. With the relays being crafted from an “all knowing” species (reapers), it could mean that the relay can make the ship not just travel FTL but reduce/nullify the stretching and warping of a black hole.

It was always strange to me when the obvious canon true ending of ME3 (Destroy) literally ended with Shepherd breathing but people speculate over if they'll come back. Even the ME3 trailer literally SHOWS Liara pick his armor piece up and wipe it off and smile. Like, It's been in your face since ME3 came out and they reinforced it now with the ME4 trailer. I don't understand why people can't just accept it and have to fight it every step of the way.

I was trying to find the legal definition of it but there is a term for when so much circumstantial evidence starts to prove or disprove a theory simply on the amount of it pointing in a direction or painting a picture. Just like in this case. You now have me convinced that they will try to find a Sheppard alive or dead in another universe and bring him back here. I’m not sure how, why, or the logistics of it but your theory disproves a lot of my explanations otherwise outside of a lazy writing explanation which doesn’t match the types of people working on mass effect. I’m concerned the 4th voice in the break down might be the new antagonist. I’m almost certain that who ever we face in the next game will likely be a form or variation of synthetic. I was talking with javic in me3 and he said that in his time the synthetic race hacked the people of a planet through implants they had surgically placed within them to increase their ability to handle the climate conditions and fix their planet. Synthetic race was even able to alter their genetics and mines essentially giving the synthetic race brand new genetic bodies that they could change on a DNA level. What if this new enemy has a version of that capability as we saw with the angara in andromeda?
