The Entire Story of PALWORLD Explained

[@greenmonkey2995]

Dear Pocketpair, If you really want to stick it to Nintendo. Add voice actors! And here are some awesome voice actors.

[@NeddyTheNoodle]

I hope they do!

[@clownymoosebean]

MAKE AN ANIME. I DARE THEM. I would be really fascinating.

[@mattwo7]

" -Nintendo- Pocketpair, hire this man"

[@bunnyfist4697]

I find it nice that with Bjorns notes we have a callback to the early game teasers with the city in the sky that players could never find ingame, so the idea hasn't been scrapped but instead the teaser showed a distant past, after the teaser the calamity struck, the sky city crashed (i guess part of it is the ruined 'city' on the southern slope of the snowey mountain and mt. Obsidian, because those structures don't seem to have been built but rather slammed into the ground at weird angles) and the apparent extinction of the only species that actually decomposed instead of just vanishing after defeat, the sky whales.

[@MissAprilSyrup]

I did a bunch of the lore speculation in this video and I was trying to figure out if Bjorn's ancestors were being literal about them "falling from the heavens" and stuff. I think you honestly nailed it and I would love if this were true because it'd tie in the promotional material in a super neat way!

[@shaymic20]

im thinking its still up there and the towers are the supports/ gateways. they said the towers are foundations and im thinking literal because they still beam up to the sky

[@emmisaryofgilameir1946]

The free pal alliance lore is funny to me because in game those bandits will shoot any pal that looks at them funny 💀

[@saurianwatcher4437]

Yeah, they should really have them throw pal spheres at them. For gameplay reasons, have them using basics and unable to capture pals. But for lore reasons, they really should be shown to be attempting capture.

[@Lord_Xonaz]

I find it funny seeing them do the exact same as the syndicate, especially with having the cage pals😅

[@mattwo7]

They're the only humans to drop food made of edible pal flesh and they do not just drop edible pal flesh but _fully cooked meals_ made from pal flesh

[@Alyrael]

@@saurianwatcher4437 They use electric arrows, things used to stun Pals and make them easier to capture, so they probably are trying to capture them but are just really bad at it and may see the Palspheres as too inhumane. Y'know, despite pelting them with shock arrows and killing them by accident.

[@FuyuBankeretsu]

I love that with the roadmap stating an end game boss and more world tree interactivity in the future the alien invasion theory may be spot on.

[@Elite02k]

If you've paid attention to the fetbreak, and Sakurajima updates, they keep giving us hints at future things and story elements.

[@mattwo7]

We already have a xenolord, what would it even be called? Xenomega ( xeno+omega ) ?

[@mattwo7]

Also if Bjorn's ancestors were fighting the final boss and called themselves "Feybreak" it stands the reason the final boss is a fae. Perhaps something akin to the Tuatha Dé Danann? Or given Bjorn's Nordic theming, an elf, dwarf, ice giantf or... flame giant? Frostallion's role would make the most sense with that last one.

[@endcorruption993]

That Nintendo lawsuit is just them being petty af. I've never seen Nintendo sue for basically pocket change and they patented mechanics they didn't even invent.

[@aoisora1445]

sadly some people legit think that Nintendo invented all of their mechanics, its similar to how WoW did not invent MMO's either, its like one big game makes it big in a genre and starts acting like they the first ones to do said genre

[@HeavenOnHigh]

damn, that Rob Sharp fella is what i call a Voice actor, so much feel, soul, heart! EVERYTHING! he's not just reading the lines, he is feeling them! reading them as it were born by himself!

[@NeddyTheNoodle]

He is incredible! I love working with the lad.

[@heartless2147]

So in an anime, Zoe, Lily, Saya and Bjorn would be the most likely candidates to join the main character after their defeat. Lily would be the most stubborn until shown what her people are actually doing. I can imagine Axel/Alex joining too, he just wants a rival and I can see Bjorn taking him and the mc under his wing. Marcus and Victor are definitely villains though, Marcus is in the drug trade and Victor is on Dr Hojo time. Imagine Marcus being defeated and after the gang leaves, Victor shows up with a squad and take him and Faleris to be experimented on, ending the episode with an eerie foreshadow of Shadowbeak's creation ala Mewtwo.

[@PabloTheInternationalSuperSpy]

A Palworld anime would actually go hard. I could imagine Zoe, Lily, Axel, Saya and Björn all helping the MC in the final battle against the thing Björn mentioned in his journals. Then Björn sacrifices himself to kill the thing and says something like "After all those years... my ancestors are avenged!" The relationship of Zoe and Björn would be interesting too. Zoe asking more about her father and Björn feeling guilty about being the reason she grew up without a father. I'd watch it for sure.

[@grimm6176]

I LOVE THE WAY YOUR IMAGINATION IS WORKING RIGHT NOW. I would utterly adore something like that! What a creative take!!

[@mistermann4163]

I imagine Victor and Marcus working together since it feels like both profit off of each other. Victor gets all access to the Pals through Marcus and Marcus profits off of Lily's group to "Protect" the Pals that the Syndicate an Victor would capture. But I feel like the final Big Bad in the end is the Syndicate leader for how much control his faction has on the island with his ace up his sleeve being some sort of prophecy tablet that foretold all of these events and already acquired the macguffin to summon Pal god with him just waiting in a giant submarine for all the towers to be deactivated for him to activate his endgame plan.

[@PsychoGamer2100]

Unfortunately Lily wouldn't join the player since the player uses pal spheres to capture pals which is something Lily is firmly against and she has a strong dislike for humans in general.

[@PabloTheInternationalSuperSpy]

@PsychoGamer2100 I think Lily would at least help in the final battle

[@andypants1062]

I havent finished, but Axel isn't the missing Alex who pulled an Anagram. Its implied that the missing Alex is the key ingredient in the success of creating Shadowbeak.

[@andypants1062]

Video finished now, I don't agree that the Calamity was the Xenos. Jetdragon, is the supersonic dragon. It was originally sent here, but was naturalized by palworld. And he was not sealed away. The Xenos sent Jetdragon, he failed to conquer, Xenolord is the new big guy in town to start the next invasion. That's just my theory.

[@mermidion7552]

@@andypants1062 Yeah, looking at Jetdragon alone makes it kind of obvious that he is one of the alien too. he probably suffered either a change of heart (if something like that is possible for them) or memory loss when he reached Palpagos. That is why he helped fighting the big bad evil in Bjorns Journal entrys.

[@SionReaver]

@@mermidion7552 Memory loss from a powerful conquiering alien who becomes its protector... So Jetdragon is Goku?

[@kirby771]

​@@andypants1062 Yet, Xenolord's objective is to eliminate the supersonic dragon, so I do not think it is here to conquer just yet. But to eliminate the traitor that is Jetragon for a later invasion.

[@VHCosta]

​@@kirby771so yeah, Goku. Xenolord would be the Raditz, coming to eliminate the alien who failed to conquer the place

[@ChronoShadow69]

Thanks for the concise, well-put-together breakdown of the story so far! I've enjoyed Palworld and been rooting for it since it hit steam, and despite a few glances at the logs, never quite got around to piecing together the story for myself. This did a great job making me feel caught up on things!

[@kitcatisms]

This game has truly captured me more than I thought it would, and I'm so glad you put all the lore togeter in an easy way to consume it! When I tell people it's surprisingly deep, despite how little we have given it's early access, they don't believe me lol. Keep up the good work!

[@NeddyTheNoodle]

Roger that. More to come

[@RealWorldGames]

Lily isnt advocating equality. Her precepts demand that people risk their lives to protect pals, but not that pals risk their lives for people. This is not equality. This is pal superiority.

[@gergernzero6904]

Or more like religion with pals being divine.

[@SeanTheGreat119]

@@gergernzero6904 Same concept essentially

[@Lord_Xonaz]

You know this girl's sleeping with them😅

[@dawnseeker176]

on the surface the ideology seems to be about pal equality but the one commandment that utterly changes that is you must risk your life to protect pals. from there it shows the ideolgies true face as you say its an ideology that sees pals as beng superior to humans and portrays humanity's existance being soley as a servant to pals. lily is also as seen a misanthropist who dispises her own kind. take note being a misanthropist does not require you to hate yourself.

[@exonymousprime]

Just because you risk your life for Pals doesn't mean you or anyone is advocating for Pal superiority or equality or that humans are meant to be servants to Pals, that's such a foolish thing to think. All Lily is advocating for is what most people do for animals in real life minus the whole not eating them where as we say you only eat ones that are food animals (except for some people and cultures who eat ones you shouldn't and those who say you shouldn't eat any) and most people in the world would risk their lives for an animal/s and do risk harm and their life for theirs or someone else's animal/s. That doesn't mean those who do are servants to animals or are advocating for them to be superior or even equal just that they have rights and should be respected and treated well just like anyone else but are still below us. Now Lily might think or believe that Pals are above humans herself but her rules for the FPA does not mean that or really even suggest that either, to say and act like it does makes no sense when most people use most of those rules in real life and most do not believe or think doing so means any of that which it doesn't. Your mixing up a perceived idea of something that maybe one or a few characters have with what words and those rules mean none of those rules or words used the way they are mean any of those things

[@tjpprojects7192]

I will have you know that the, "patent infingement" that Palworld has only came about because Pokemon filed a patent AFTER Palworld was announced. Palworld existed BEFORE the patent, and in a U.S. court of law, that would NOT fly, and Palworld would be 100% safe. But considering they're in Japan where the, "old dog" gets priority even if they're WRONG, Palworld has an up hill battle right now against this patent trolling from Nintendon't.

[@D3adCl0wn]

They already changed the mechanic thus not incurring additional fees, and likely paid the $60k already. Lawsuits can be settled out-of-court bro.

[@tjpprojects7192]

@D3adCl0wn Yeah, not going to believe you. I'll check it out for myself when I get around to it. Besides that, it doesn't even matter if it's settle in court or not bro. It's still 100% a CRIMINAL patent troll on Nintendo's part. Nintendo made that patent AFTER Palworld was announced when they could have done it 20 years ago when they first MADE Pokemon, and not only that, but they STOLE it from Dragon Quest, so they don't even have claim to it in the first place. Besides, you say that they, "sEtTlEd It OuT oF cOuRt BrO", but technically, Palworld is STILL in, "violation" of it with their chatching mechanics, so it doesn't even matter if what you say is true, because Nintendo could atill go after Palworld. You still throw a spherical object to catch creatures in Palworld.... what was changed was SPAWNING your Pal and being unable to throw the ball anymore to RELEASE your Pal, NOT catch them, which the patent was actually about....

[@D3adCl0wn]

@@tjpprojects7192 The patent infringed is this action sequence: Launch capture device> summon character> interact field objects/character. The catching mechanic is safe, that is NOT patented. Do you really want Pocketpair to keep incurring late fees or an injunction? When they can just simply capitulate on a NON-LOSS scenario and move on?

[@tjpprojects7192]

​@@D3adCl0wnSo basically you're saying that I've been lied to that it was the catching mechanic that was patented? Alright. I'm also not saying that Pocketpair shouldn't do what's best for themselves legally, I'm simply saying that it's still 100% a BS patent troll on Nintendo's part.

[@D3adCl0wn]

@@tjpprojects7192 Some even say that it was the Pal spheres so I can't blame ya, a lot want to make content on drama and exaggerate and use surface level takes. But to Pocketpair's part, they can simply use the inverse of the unsummon animation so we can summon at a distance. The patent did specify "launching a device". The patent was 100% petty, but can you blame them? This mechanic is literally the only 'NEW' thing they got going for in Pokemon. Which they would likely use at large in Legends: Z-A.

[@Mario-s5z3o]

Lily- nature enthusiasts blind to her own actions Drayten- drug overlord who made his partner a literal crack head Victor- evil mad scientist ( don’t like him at all or the drug dude) Axel- brothers from other mothers with his partner and likes to dance he probably the coolest 1 Saya- desprate and wants to get out of a endless loop of tradition even if it costs her own life Zoe- girl who needs therapy badly and actually good parents Bjorn- a old traditionalist who is a nice guy meets well but can’t see the bigger picture but is key on what he wants Player - a nessasary person to try and free the island and the people from this prison and take out the threat doing this to them all(I’m not violent and try to murder everyone with a gun but other people really seem like villains when they play this game) Honestly thanks for the lore I didn’t know what was happening

[@sapphoris]

The unfortunate truth is that violence is the nature of the game given the Palsphere's ability to induce sanity and affinity towards whoever holds the sphere when the majority of Pals are acquired through violence and forced to commit violence to advance the story. I'd love to see a pacifist run, but that explicitly forces you to not advance the story cause there's no peaceful way to defeat the tower bosses even if there is an at least not explicit way to obtain ancient pal technology with expeditions.

[@Mario-s5z3o]

@ well I mean when I play I’m going to try doing eggs cause that ain’t violence unfortunately you can’t befriend the pals the best thing to do is to free them from poachers, get eggs, or catch them and be nice and treat them well to make up for the violence or just use a pal sphere without hurting them as for the bosses violence is the only way hopefully they make a a way to peacefully befriend the bosses for a trial battle to get rid of the tower

[@PlansalagaDon]

Thank you for this video! It was very entertaining, especially since I have been waiting for at least ONE person to make an updated lore video on this game!

[@PlansalagaDon]

Another important thing to consider is the new Rampaging Pals. When listening to their song, it sounds terrifying and as if something is very wrong with them. Only to find out that the name of the song is "Discomfort from the Abyss"... what a strange name for song, making it seem as if rampaging pals are being possessed by something... If the "abyss" is a real place, then maybe the sealed calamity is stored there, stirring more and more, infecting the pals of the island.

[@ДаниилТарасов-ч5х]

Astegon in his entry is called "beast of the abyss" or so.

[@aurondoxon3805]

I hope in future updates we can have faction strongholds for us to raid like the Syndicate oil rigs. I like more structures for the different factions to add to the world building side. Currently it just feels like the other factions like the Brotherhood of the Pyre have nowhere to go and just happen to roam around and sleep at the foot of a volcano haha. It's very immersion breaking.

My personal dream End Scenario would be all the Tower Bosses actually teaming up with you to take down whatever's in that Tree, but a Boss Rush sounds good too!

[@GhostGuy99]

I swear the conclusion on the potential lore has me thinking of Terraria, from the meteors not being seen by players until after they beat the first tower to the Xeno Pals being related to a calamity that Frostallion sealed away...

[@andypants1062]

I don't think it's the Xenos that was the original calamity. Jetdragon was the original Xeno, who was naturalized, as shown in the Xeno paldex entries.

[@wrathshorts2894]

A good question, considering the Xeno Pals. Where does Selyne fit into this. She is a xeno "like" Pal, she come from a meteor. But she doesn't have Xeno in her name. Also she ONLY drops on Sakurajima island. Is she trying to infiltrate the towers by making friends with Saya? Then there are the two Bellanoir bosses. What are they really and are they related to this "IT"?

[@GoldenThunderbolt]

Selyne is an interesting pal, because it's not part of the Xeno species. She's an alien, but apparently a benevolent one and it's probably the result of the Moon not changing. In a way, it's similar to Bella: Bellanoir doesn't exist, she forced her own existance in this dimension. If I remember correctly from her palpedia entry, she just basically decided to spawn one day, and the Pal that we see is like the Magenta color: it doesn't exist, but that's how "she" and we see "her" as a "being".

[@Alyrael]

@@GoldenThunderbolt I don't even know what Bellanoir and Libero are, the first willed herself into existence to be seen, and then when that became too much for her, willed Libero to exist so they could look at each other, but both "resented reality", so probably rampaged, and were driven into the Abyss where they slept, at least until summoned by the player. I don't even think they're aliens, that implies they came from somewhere, but Bellanoir and Libero just... popped into existence one day. I wonder if their echoing resentment is what caused the Predators. As for Selyne, I think it might be a harbinger of the time that Bjorn is speaking about, as the moon on its back is said to grow with each generation until something happens. It might a living clock for "the End", but since the moon on its back doesn't grow when we breed them, the clock might have been paused in some way, for some reason, assuming it's not just a game thing. What makes me curious is Lunaris. That is clearly an alien and it labeled as such for its boss title.

[@tiffypressstart2157]

lol I never bothered to read the journals but now I’m like: -Lily: I agree pals should be partners and I literally do almost everything on the free pal alliance..until …Victor….also now I feel guilty being one of those poaching pals on the sanctuaries. -Marcus - oooh shiiit he’s brilliant, too bad I don’t make stims. I thought the pidf were like good cops, but I guess they are addicts. -Victor - oh shit...now I feel bad I have been breeding extra pals, condensing pals and selling ones that weren’t good Well, at least I don’t butcher pals.

[@Prince_Smugarina]

So nobody knows why they guard the towers, but there isn't a whole lot explaining WHO hired them to do so. Bjorn and Rayne clearly inherited their duty. But a curious question raises. Was it the PIDF who hired the rest? Was Bjorn and everyone else from a space colony? Could the PIDF be stationed on such a thing? Could... the Moon that never changes secretly be this mysterious Colony in Orbit I'm theorizing about? The PIDF has access to tech that's beyond understanding, namely teleporting right to your current position should you become wanted, and I find it hard to understand how they can drop on your ass no matter where you are, which suggest advanced surveillance, and nothing is more advanced than a Satellite in Orbit staring down at you.

[@Willow_Thefox-is8uj]

I'd 78% assume that the Thunder Dragon isn't Jetragon. It's Blazamut Ryu, as it has an Electric form. It is also, of course, a dragon.

[@SquadReady]

What I don’t understand is how Pokemon being a major franchise haven’t come out with an open world online Pokémon game It will be a big hit if they did

[@PsychoGamer2100]

Only if they made sure to fix most of the bugs before release so we don't get another mess like Scarlet and Violet.

[@andypants1062]

Laziness and stagnation

[@mermidion7552]

my guess? Greed mostly. here is how they probably see it (this is just a theory and i am not saying that the following is true): An online MMO may seem profitable for such a game at first, but it would mean alot of upkeep and resources (writers,programmers,designers,) divided from there studios, which would mean fewer other pokemon games to release in a year (we have seen that with Bethesda, ones ESO came out..well people are still waiting for a new elder scrolls game.). add to that that making such a game is a risk, as it could turn out to be not very well doing in the playercount in the long run. oh sure the first and probably second month it would be crazy full, but after that Players could lose interest and all the work might be for nothing and a huge loss. ANd they never like taking risks, proof?, 1, the fact that Pokemon has only very slowly changed over the decade. oh sure there were spin-off games but they were often lower in quality ,shorter, or not very well marketed. they tried doing something with Pokemon Arceus, and with how fast player lost the interest in that game, it kind of proofed to them how risky trying something new is. 2.Pokemon-Go. its much more easier to manage, takes alot less work ,upkeep and has alot more option for easy money, why take on a big risky projekt like an MMO when you can just have daily cash income for barely any work? which serves a greedy company like them just right.

[@Zedvais]

Wow it made so much sense. Yeah we look like a villain right now because the game is not complete. But yes as you said i think it will have to do with like the villain is imprisoned in the world tree or even the world tree itself is the villain kinda situation. The tower seal the palpagos island until the hero (main character) comes and the bosses acts as like their training probably. I just wish we can befriend the bosses after defeating them. Kinda wish zoe would be able to adventure outside alongside bjorn and lily can see that the organization she created and spearheaded do the thing they swore to destroy themselves. I never read the journal because the game is not yet finished but i really like Lilly, i share many of her sentiment aside killing the human thing. But anyway long rant but thanks for the great summary of the current lore. ❤

[@LueLucifer]

Imagine after Palworld is over, we get a Palworld 2, finally out of the island & the Pals get to live in unison with humans all over the world which will be a game in Modern Times with skyscrapers and cities. The plot would be an underground criminal organization enslaving pals. Kind of like Watch Dogs Style. You'll have cars, and some pals can ride with you. There will be music you can play on your phone, and your pals or nearby pals can dance around to it if they choose to because there will be different personalities for Pals. There will be lots of cool awesome guns, futuristic guns, swords, etc. At the very end, you have to fight your way through a skyscraper to the top to defeat the final boss. Obviously, you'll be able to build a house anywhere and will have all the features from Palworld but even more fleshed out. That would be an awesome game after Palworld.

[@minvolt4072]

The player in my eyes is more neutral Evil, we're not evil, but we certainly aren't good.

[@PsychoGamer2100]

To be fair none of the bosses ever try to tell you why you shouldn't be deactivating the towers. They just jump straight to fighting so you are forced to defend yourself. All you know is that "the towers are the key" and "the world tree holds the truth". As far as you know "the key" could mean the key to escaping the islands.

[@jinhong91]

@@PsychoGamer2100 Who even put that message into the tablet the player character gets anyway? Other than Pocket Pair themselves of course, which in-universe being put that message there?

[@nichasmith7898]

The Thunder Dragon- Jetdragon The Celestial Beings- Frostallion and Frostallion Noct. In Frostallion's Paldeck entry it says "In the past, when a calamity struck the land, it soared into the sky and sealed away the threat by casting the island into an eternal winter." Frostallion Noct is probably the black pegasus responsible for making it always nightime. We only see Frostallion in the game since "the black pegasus melted into the night and vanished." The Paladin- Paladius and Necromus. On their Pal entry, it says that they used to be one.

[@kurokaiden1083]

Feybreak, eternal winter and Bjorn's nordic theming all point to the calamity being a fire jötunn, specifically a pal based on Surtr (Norse fey are elves. dwarves and jötunn and we can outright rule out dwarves and if it was an elf, dark elf, moutain jötunn or frost jötunn, the eternal winter would make less sense). The sky splitting open? Bifrost.

[@clownymoosebean]

[@aidanoreilly7315]

I love the storyline and lore in this. I struggle a bit with Marcus, though. As Palpagos is cut off from the rest of the world, and has no banks, mint, or government, how is the money worth anything? It's not like they can hire a builder, buy a car, or pop to a supermarket 😂 The only place to spend money is with the merchants and black marketeers, but then what are they doing with that money?

[@grig0ryag112]

Money has its value until you have someone to trade it with. Remember the history when people traded coco-beans then rare animals skin, then coins. Inventions of ships brought around need of bills etc, etc. You can look at the Palapogos Islands as a number of counties trading around some coins taking as a standart price for eggs (for example) or something basic, like we do with bigmacs :D

Hmm...some interesting pieces in here, but there's a LOT of discrepancies. The first and I would think the most jarring are the oil rigs and the attack helicopter. These are both products of a more modern age and wouldn't line up with a "crusade of a thousand years", the oil rigs themselves are constructed with modern parts, using modern weaponry like surface to air missiles and the Rayne Syndicate is kitted out with gattling guns...the entire Rayne operation screams big money to the tune of tens of billions. Also you wouldn't waste the insane amounts of capital extracting oil just to have it sit idle, either the Syndicate has SOME way to offload all those barrels, probably through oil tankers, which means that there is a way off the islands in some fashion. I'd like to think that Bjorn and whatever task he sent Zoe's father off to complete ended up with him becoming incredibly wealthy and he's the sole reason the entire Syndicate is as "wealthy" as they are. The shipping containers scattered around and "Pal Inc" just further that thesis. The question here though is IF the outside world is aware of the Palapagos Islands and to what extent that would lead too. Victor and his research are just more evidence to the fact since he employs some rather modern laboratory equipment or if he merely just repurposed whatever "they" left behind (The Genetic Researchers are equipped with the laser rifle after all), so whether he invented the Pal Condenser remains to seen. Aside from that we know the "Castaway" ranged pretty long so it's possible he to was able to leave. I guess we shall see, but the merc we meet at the first eagle statue seems beyond shocked that Pal's behave in that "way", I've actually chalked her trauma up to the Dinossum roaming the starting area as if you the player get to close they have zero issue with killing you without hesitation. I might also add Astegon to the equation as he was "trapped" and assumed to be slumbering/dead, but is clearly awake now. His tag is "Ravager of the Stars" as well so take that as you may In early trailers (the Unreal, not the Unity) we catch a glimpse of the player constructing a rocket, which would serve little other purpose then space exploration, the Xeno hordes are from "somewhere" not to far away, there's also Lunaris whose entry all but says she's from out there as well, the ruins are all but screaming they are from another planet (moon? Would fit Saya's entry somewhat and Selene also isn't from here) but I am betting on the fact that we're going to space at some point. The Towers are another matter since they would "seem" to be keys to unlocking something, but I'm not sold on the idea that they are merely there to entrap the "calamity" and have another purpose altogether, the occulus gate has gate right name but where that goes is something else to speculate...my personal theory is that it was used in the "ancient" times to shuttle around whatever Pal the huge skeletons scattered everywhere was/is and probably used to travel between the Palapagos and outer space, since there are also numerous stone "human" built ruins everywhere as well which infers that the ancient human civilization had first contact with some civilization. Lily is the odd thing here, as there are still humans that originally inhabited the islands, and the Free Pal Alliance's weapons and dress supports that to some extent. Duneholm is contradictory in the fact that if they are native, and Marcus introduced or exploited whatever "powder" he may have/had not been in possession of when he took over the region, but again he screams of modernity as himself and the PIDF are cops from SOMEWHERE since the various officers hint that they too were shipwreck victims and the "runaway desert refugee" also attests that their influence and mere presence interrupted their way of life. They also founded and guard the sanctuary's which also attests to a more modern "conservation act" type of thinking as well as Marcus' mastery of control over the "drug" trade and knowing what strings to pull as far as addictions are concerned. I'm not Jetdragon is the "thunder dragon", though he holds the "celestial" tag, as do the pegasuai, Elphidran is the "gentle sky dragon", Orserk is the "roaring thunder" and both are dragon in species. Jet is from whatever civilization among the stars Bjorn "fell" from, as are both versions of Froststallion (hypothetically) and the only Pal in that legend that was already a resident was Palladius, the rest gaining their title AFTER whatever the calamity was/is as the statues littered around were signs of affection from the humans already on the islands (this goes for Quivern and Anubis) and all were worshipped for who knows how long, as Hungyu's entry tells of some old school executioner, Celesdir as a "beast of salvation", Azurmane and Univolt (Univolt's nickname is "Thunder Deity" and both served a "Thunder God" who may or may not be the dragon in question. And, honestly, my hot take is these are two seperate conflicts: the first being the calamity, potentially locked up in Yggdrasil, making Jet and the others refugees from the Xeno entries, and another where the netherworld itself has been rendered asunder (Bella, Sootseer, Hezylphr Maraith dex entries) and this instance caused by Katress (Ummhmm) that she's unable to fix, and was probably warned against screwing with in the first place (Wixen) but if these are mutually inclusive events or two issues altogether remains to be seen...and this instance itself IS NOT related to whatever the Pal religious view was, nor the folklore (Incineram, Felbat) that was practiced during the time. Wild as hell, I know

[@sapphoris]

The FPA being PETA is really on brand when it comes to abusing their supposed charges, but I never interpreted Lily's remark about the funds to be her lost in naivety so much as just casually disregarding human trafficking. The Rayne Syndicate are the ones explicitly trafficking pals and while that may be happening with the FPA, it's the Black Marketeer that makes me think humans are being captured and sold and it's 100% Lily's MO to be okay with that.

[@sapphoris]

Stopped halfway throughg and rewatched it again with more thoughts! The the idea of stagnation in relationship with the moon doesn't appear to be time stalling because people and pals explicitly age and an ancient civilization can't be ancient if no time is passing (assuming linear time). Rather, I think the moon they are referring to is the Xenoship or Xenobase or what have you. The island is obscured to the rest of the world, so it makes sense that a looming, ever present threat only they can see would be as unchanging as the time spent protecting against it. Concerning Jetragon, there is one account that wasn't mentioned by a follower of the Eternal Pyre in the fishing village in the South of the Mt. Obsidian, who talks about seeing one as a shooting star until it suddenly changed directions to zoom further off into the island where we see Jetragon and Blazamut as bosses. Blazamut's entry talks about belief in islands being on the back of a giant, slumbering Blazamut with the Blazamut Ryu counterpart being considered the Eternal Flame (and might also be a candidate for the Thunder Dragon given it actually changed to electric type half-way through the fight (and burned an entire island down to nothing, possibly referring to the large structure Bjorn refers to). Also note that Jetragon is explicitly destined to strike down calamity yet to happen while all other legendary pals explicitly talk about the past). I've seen some takes about the summoned pals being non-canon, but there's nothing that really supports that given they're all calamitous and you, the player character, are already on the path of summoning the largest calamity. And Palpogos Islands are no stranger to calamity. What's more is that Hell is referenced as a real place, rather than just a belief. With the Xenobase in the "heavens" and Palpogos being on Earth, anything Hell related would be an underworld we only have reference to in some Palpedia entries - all of which lines up to the World Tree reaching into multiple worlds. If we reference Norse lore, which Bjorn and Feybreak seem to somewhat reference, then the calamity is a reference to Ragnarok (which is also already referenced with Ragnahawk). The key note to that story is that life and death are cycles and the end of a familiar reign and way of life will beget a new one. My theory is that the Xenos are trying to crack Hell open and the civilization of Palpogos and the towers were erected to stand between them to protect the world even beyond the Islands (also that Zoe's dad is definitely maybe coming back with some outside force).

[@sapphoris]

Hec I forgot what I originally wanted to comment Victor shows concern for Alex/Axel disappearing and while that doesn't give us the context of why, Dr. Brawn's dialogue might - he asks the Player if they are a true friend of science, indicating that he believes the Pal Genetic Research Unit and Victor hold themselves back when it comes to doing anything in the name of science. This isn't to say that Victor is a moral human being, but that he does seem to have some level of them. And the only thing that Dr. Brawn does, altering the genetics of an already living and formed Pal, is not something that Victor ever mentions doing himself (because he focuses on creation and distillation, things that explicitly begin and end life). So it's interesting me that Dr. Brawn, Victor, and Axel all potentially had work relationships with each other and how differently Dr. Brawn and Axel ended up afterwards with one being a wandering, true mad scientist and the other taking over a religious faction to declare war on Victor. It gives an insight into Axel having a complicated relationship with Victor in a way that he looked up to him and down on him at the same time, as if Victor is an obstacle Axel has to overcome in the pursuit of battling someone who creates stronger pals. Meanwhile Dr. Brawn simply went his own way to prove himself above Victor in the pursuit of science. It makes me more curious about Axel given that he only presents himself as wanting to become the strongest, but has a clear history of joining a science lab even simply as an assistant. Even if he only joined because of the PGRU, there's a scientific and patient side to Axel I hope we get to explore when those notes are released.

[@themather1]

I don't think the alien invasion has taken millennia. The way I read Xenolord's Paldeck entry is that Jetragon was supposed to be the aliens' advance force, conquering the island for them. But instead of conquering the island, Jetragon naturalized and became its protector, and the aliens are now tasked with terminating their rogue asset. This seems particularly likely given that Jetragon, like the aliens, possesses seemingly mechanical parts, and how it has the same crystalline wings as Xenolord and Xenogard, just in a different color. There's also one question that is completely unanswered, which I feel is related to the Calamity, and that is the nature of the "abyss". Bellanoir and Bellanoir Libero's entries describe how they sprung into existence in an effort to bring vengeance upon reality, and were banished to the abyss. While Astegon's entry describes that it was born of the abyss. Noteworthy here is that Bellanoir and Bellanoir Libero are considered of Legendary rarity, where the other raid bosses are merely Epic.

[@DanCasey810]

You know the whole bit about the meteors not dropping until the local boss is beaten makes sense! I have been wondering why I haven't been getting the drops in Faybreak but I haven't beaten Bjorn yet!

[@hemvakstonejaw2548]

What if the fog is tied to the towers? Since we cleared the towers the fog is slowly receding thats why we finally see the new islands(the dlc islands)!

Just started playing pal world a few weeks ago after my kids were begging me to play with them and I’m hooked. Loved this video explaining all the memos and how they intertwined with each other!! The game makes way more sense now, even though I feel bad for taking out Zoe and Lily now.

This was a really good video.And I really loved the voice acting🧐🧐💗💓

[@Akira_of_the_Fae]

"A deep love for pals" and yet here they are slandering all the cinnamoth around.

[@mauricebenink]

I highly doubt jetdragon is the thunder dragon. However orserk might be a good candidate. Since he has a passive "ferocious thunder dragon". His dissappearance would also make sense since hes been protecting one of the towers with axel.

[@dallaswinston330]

I’d say it’s more likely the thunder dragon isn’t in the game yet as an another theory. So far, in Bjorn’s journal all the legendaries were talked about. Aside jetdragon if we say he isn’t the thunder dragon.

I just started and I was just too curious to wait to get all the pieces. I am also playing as some sort of unofficial Free Pal Alliance thing, catching only pals that are being attacked by pals/attack my base/free from cages/eggs - which means I am levelling up quite slowly.

You became a villain to unseal the monster without knowing that trigger invasion. I like the plots twist. So the save the world or destruction or conquest... freedom to play. XD Plus the tablet feel sinner as it didn't tell the reason is tower and tree since with "..." feel odd. It just a guess. I feel someone is control your actions as I wonder if the tablet is connect to network on the island. For story plots wise.

[@Cadiangrunt99]

Good video and thank you!

[@Juicebottle-v7p]

29:00 Wait, are these the 4 or 5 legendary pals? I am guessing that the 2 who turned the island into an un ending winter night is frostsllion and frostsllion noct, and the one who split itself in two is paladius and necromus and as for the thunder dragon I am not sure maybe next update there will be a new legendary or this dragon is possible jetragon but if this is so then that would all so explain the status or the legendary pals.

[@slikkvic7611]

I been pondering this myself, as though we're missing one legendary on the list because Jetragon surely doesn't fit the "thunder" description. However, upon reading the entry of Jetragon, I've noticed that it mentions "It is destined to strike down the calamity in a 'flash' of total destruction." And Bjorn then says that "The [thunder] dragon vanished beyond the reach of the 'flash,' disappearing from sight." More likely than not - if any - Jetragon with its entry seems to be the perfect fit; although that "thunder" just throws it off for many, I would imagine.

[@connorwaples6467]

​@@slikkvic7611Xenolord's entry refers to a "Supersonic Dragon" (obviously Jetragon). What if the "thunder" is actually Jetragon causing a sonic boom?

[@slikkvic7611]

@connorwaples6467 could be! I'd imagine in lore and speculation that Jetragon could travel so fast it makes a sonic boom - certainly doesn't do that in-game, but still the likely candidate would indeed be Jetragon. I'm also thinking what is it with the focus of Jetragon that has Xenolord being its primary target?

[@SkyleneEmber]

Meanwhile Lovander exist... So...

[@inkromancer_studios]

Just as the conflict between the B.E.P and the Research Unit has basically turned into a mini war because of Axel, I really hope we get another boss (tower or otherwise) who is fighting a war against the FPA to dethrone Lily, only to never get the chance because ultimately the player does. A 'punisher' esk character would be a good fit for Palpagos, they could even take it one step further and have him be a "rival" of sorts to the players. No matter what direction they go with the story I just want more of it. It's simple, but man is it endearing!

Game theory. Im sad again. Haha. Thanks for the video

[@RitoReyes2033]

I really loved this video... i excited

[@WonderWopunny]

I believe the Breaker of Heaven will have something to do with Bellanoir, because I believe Bellanoir is a legendary pal that fell from that status probably do to betraying the land and helping out the one in slumber, because no matter the version you beat, you get the Siren of Eclipse/Twilight, connecting this to the Enternal Night, Cresent Moon, and the Alien invaders as you say is not a difficult feat, also Sirens are known for luring sailors end giving them false security before sinking them, backstabbers also do that and a common plotline in games/animes, is erasing the betrayor from history or stories. (Sorry for any mistakes english is not my first language)

[@VirtuesOfSin]

I wish there was a way to recruit tower bosses as NPCs in the world.

[@Moodyman90]

I mean, unless the sleeping calamity was Dragon, Dark or Normal type, of course the legendary pals couldn't do more than put it to sleep. Unless the Paladin was a completely different type than what it split into, it was an Ice, a Dragon, what is now two Dark types and a Normal. I may have been banging my head against the wall when I went out of my way to breed up an Orserk to fight Axel's with, but I'm sure going to abuse whatever type advantage I can for whatever the big bad ends up being.

I'd like to know why giving the tower bosses a game over deactivates the tower. I mean, the title of boss can be passed on as we see with Zoe so it's not tied to the person being around or even potentially Alive so what deactivates them?

[@shaymic20]

so there is supposedly a city in the sky. im guessing that was the home of the feybreak and the xeno invaded. so xeno king xeno queen are up there. also they talked about the towers as foundations so im guessing they are holding up the city in they sky and are also the gateway. just a thought though

[@awesomenesskid15]

Where are you there are areas in the game where meteorites nor supply drops don’t drop And there’s also a possibility wherever you are still has remnants of a meteorite which would prevent meteorite and supply drops Or maybe you changed the setting wrong since the bigger number the longer the interval of its none of the above I’m not sure
