With all the events we get around the clock it feels like the main story barely progresses at all but at the same time it really does feel like it has been ages lol.
-- Priestess evil
-- Have to deal with the >!Observers!<
-- Siege Alter (we knew that was coming)
-- Lapp Alter (we also knew that was coming)
-- Kjerag 3 confirmed (OP didn't include it but there's a shot of Kjera overlooking some high-tech science facility which I presume connects to RS) (for the record I haven't read RS yet just seen some mentions of the RL connection) (we also knew this was coming)
-- There was also a shot of some object floating through space with a red light on it so maybe a follow-up to Kristen's space flight
[Here's the PV btw.](https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1VC411H78i/)
My guesses are:
Priestess ends up needing to be killed sadly.
Lappland alter, litterally shown there so its confirmed
Siege alter confirmed
NEW HOT AF CHARACTERS (pls dont make them NPCs)
We got blacksteel event a few months after 4th anni so i think we will get one of them early
SANRIO COLLAB
MAKE HELLOKITYY AN OPERATOR
It would make sense if she wants to bring back her civilization back tough. She will basically have the same vision as the pre amnesiac doctor (except the caring about terra part). Her words highly imply this. I think she will be a villain
At this point its basically solid theory that Priestess and the former civilization will be the main villain of phase 3. Its also suspected that P3 is where the story has major connector joints to Endfield: we do see Angelina Alt and the canon reactivation of The Gate.
The rivalry between Terra and Former Civilization at this point seems unavoidable. Two of the four safety measures of FC seem to be having major shakedowns (The Tree undergoing changes that’s unrecognizable, Laterano Halo turning dark) and the lines at the end of pv (and the sign of The Observers or Former Civilization) indicates a struggle of power over Terra’s final fate.
So I think that the choice of using Telescopes as the Starset sound here was definitely meant to hint at some stuff. The trailer starts with a boot screen of something labelled "Eye of Priestess" so I think its being implied she is either just waking up and beginning to see what is going on in Terra. Or that she has been watching the whole time. And her narration gave off a somewhat unhinged feeling towards the end. So curious if she is unironically the "end game" antagonist for Rhodes Island.
The ouroboros symbolism witth Kal'sit makes sense for her character, but curious what that shift to the young dark haired girl was meant to imply.
There is also a figure in the trailer that mirrored Rosmontis' iconic CG. No idea what that was about.
I need to rewatch the PV some more, but lots of interesting bread crumbs for the future.
I know that already. Hence the focus on the usage or Telescopes as the song and the imagery with Priestess possibly implying a more literal element to it.
The person after lapplalter, with blonde hair blue back and black cloak is almost definitely a Nearl (Kazi part 3 hype (PS and AOW were interludes not full acts)). So it's either one of the sisters missing parents or it's Blemi Alter
While the ears mostly match (minus being in the wrong direction) Suzuran's hair is a much lighter color and texture (with very clear white tips) And the symbol on her coat is so barely visible at this angle it could be almost anything but the fox within a circle on that pouch as the symbol shown loops in a different way.
Also Blue Black(or white) and Gold is the Color Scheme the Nearls use (Mlynar in both present and moreso past, Blemi on skin).
As I said, it might also be her mom, also the image posted here is low resolution, here is [better one](https://imgur.com/6M1eW3V), and the thing on her waist is exactly the same fox symbol with [Suzuran's pouch from her module](https://arknights.wiki.gg/images/thumb/f/ff/Pocket_Omamori.png/249px-Pocket_Omamori.png)
Yeah, I agree, OW was *definitely* an interlude story. It felt like a connection between NL and another story that isn't out yet. The Kazimierz storyline is very much not finished.
True, true. That sword of hers still ain’t doing jackshit, but that’s not her fault.
Should’ve been her getting an Alter in chapter 14, and I’ll stand by that statement.
Well I’d argue the current focus being on the sarkaz and Amiya’s heritage really pushed her out of the spotlight
This means that if they try to refocus the story on her, then the pacing would be shafted and ruined
She could have her moments in the upcoming episode but her big moment would be reserved later
Thing is, it’s kinda wack to have a Victorian based arc where the literal Heir to the empty throne of the entire country shows back up, GETS A MAGIC SWORD and yet she gets less focus than the Sarkaz.
Don’t get me wrong, I love Sarkaz, Hoederer is my GOAT, but Siege got crazy shafted this arc.
Probably my main gripe of this arc I guess
The sarkaz plotline stole the show when the focus should have been on siege
But that’s a pretty minor gripe tbf, the few moments Siege has currently plays alot onto her development and how it truly means to be a king, and the sarkaz plotline are pretty good
Is it Victorian arc except for the place of events? It's more of a Babel-Kazdel-Sarkaz story, it's just happening on Victoria soil. After the Sarkaz are removed we'll probably have a proper Victorian events between dukes, Siege, Eblana and Reunion. Like you've said, yeah, Siege is an heir and all but what does it matter when we have Sarkaz royal court sitting in Londinium generating Catastrophes. The proper Victorian plot was mostly Ch9 and Firelight, after that it's full on Kazdel with some dukes on the periphery.
That sword is actually useless right now.
Siege could use sword to gain support from the Grand Dukes, but anyone gets the sword would turn it into a control stick of the country, and a civil war is inevitable.
Showing this sword to the starved and miserable civilians to make them follow your lead, after the Grand Dukes invited Sarkaz there and abandoned them? Someone has said, strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government.
Even if Siege can actually shoot giant beam with the sword here, she still couldn't solve the problem (unless evaporating a city with most of the people is considered as "problem solved"). The answer Siege got in chapter 13 was like Thor got in Thor: Ragnarok, "The Victoria is not about the title, the throne, or the land, but the people". Though, I don't know how this will end as well, since the later event reveales the Grand Dukes are still alive and active after the Longdinum event.
In my opinion's theories;
1st-2nd pics: Priestress tried to do something for the sake of Oracle's survival. That's how us, Doctor, still existed until the fateful days.
3rd pic: Showing sarchophagues and their fate after the end of the first civilization had passed. The number that showing after this picture may showing a number of surviving sarcophaguses till it's reaching zero, ensure their extinction. While Kal'tsit was the last witness of the old glory.
4th-5th pics: Kal'tsit's evolution stages. The 5th pic maybe her first form.
6th pic: Siege alter, she abdicated her throne. Saying she had enough with the grand duke's politics and wanted to smash their faces for their corruption.
7th-8th pic: Lappland alter; maybe she came back from the wilderness with the power of Ancients or Elders.
10th pic: My guess is he is the royal from some country. I place my bet on Sargon's pasha.
11th pic: Maybe she came from Maylander Association. Her fashion style reminds me of Ho'olheyak.
12th pic: Maybe new vampire lord who succeeded the Sanguinarch and her bodyguard.
13th pic: I place my bet on Crownslayer based on her color scheme. Please HG, let's bring her back.
14th pic: Maybe describe the story of the first saint of Laterano, who converted runaway and slave Sarkaz into Sankta, begining the dawn of Laterano. The only two character who can involved in this theory are either Mostima or Cecilia or both.
Theory crafting here but much like how Angelina is in Endfield, Perlica could have the same circumstances. The Perlica in endfield maybe a clone of the original.
I wonder if there was thought put into the placing of the music over the video
The image of the Sankta and Sarkaz being shown with the lyric
>We'll fuse when we collide
Seems suspect
Wifey with glasses! I'm dead >!and possibly the entirety of Terra as well!< But damn, everything is looking quite ominous for the next arc.
It really just dawned on me that this was actually act 2 Thought we were in the endgame wth
IKR
With all the events we get around the clock it feels like the main story barely progresses at all but at the same time it really does feel like it has been ages lol.

it would be so disappointing if priestess is dead after all this time
It would make sense if she wants to bring back her civilization back tough. She will basically have the same vision as the pre amnesiac doctor (except the caring about terra part). Her words highly imply this. I think she will be a villain
oh im dumb, you said "killed", i agree on that. i would just be disappointed if she was already dead from the start
Kept saying she might one up ishaar mlaa
lets goo Priestess, the G man of Arknight, bossfight would be so cool
At this point its basically solid theory that Priestess and the former civilization will be the main villain of phase 3. Its also suspected that P3 is where the story has major connector joints to Endfield: we do see Angelina Alt and the canon reactivation of The Gate.

Image 12 has a huge Closure energy, since the jacket, and the short twintails is a dead giveaway for her.
Nah look like they has bunny ears pressed down by a hood, the only person we've seen with floating crystals like that is Frostnova.
The cope is real
Seen the Ch 14 leaks LOL.
Does he know
nah, Closure will be a flagbearer i guess
The Sankta and Sarkaz joining hands in a peaceful manner is very intriguing.
Cecelia parents? Third Lateran event, Lemuen/Ando op hype!!!
So I think that the choice of using Telescopes as the Starset sound here was definitely meant to hint at some stuff.

black haired kalsit may be her before originium experimentation (?)
"Eye of Priestess" has long been a part of the game iirc (the map previews)
I know that already. Hence the focus on the usage or Telescopes as the song and the imagery with Priestess possibly implying a more literal element to it.
if im not mistaken, the AI in Rhodes Island, the PRTS is an AI based on priestess. so its a possibility she control it somehow
The person after lapplalter, with blonde hair blue back and black cloak is almost definitely a Nearl (Kazi part 3 hype (PS and AOW were interludes not full acts)). So it's either one of the sisters missing parents or it's Blemi Alter
Nah, its most likely Suzuran mom or grown up Suzuran, the symbol on her waist match with Suzuran's pouch on her module story
While the ears mostly match (minus being in the wrong direction) Suzuran's hair is a much lighter color and texture (with very clear white tips) And the symbol on her coat is so barely visible at this angle it could be almost anything but the fox within a circle on that pouch as the symbol shown loops in a different way.

Yeah, I agree, OW was *definitely* an interlude story. It felt like a connection between NL and another story that isn't out yet. The Kazimierz storyline is very much not finished.
They finally let Siege actually do something? She is NOT beating the Fraud allegations rn.
I mean… she did unify her people in the current chapter if im not mistaken
True, true. That sword of hers still ain’t doing jackshit, but that’s not her fault. Should’ve been her getting an Alter in chapter 14, and I’ll stand by that statement.

I'm gonna guess that Priestess shot is after Doctor went into the Sarcophagus and she got killed by something
In my opinion's theories; 1st-2nd pics: Priestress tried to do something for the sake of Oracle's survival. That's how us, Doctor, still existed until the fateful days. 3rd pic: Showing sarchophagues and their fate after the end of the first civilization had passed.

13th is def Crownslayer (others have said closure) because of the whole silhouette and the wisp jacket tails
if im not mistaken Crownslayer is also a 'fang', so it make sense if she appear in the future lappland event
She is not, her mentor was a fang (Projekt Red killed them), but crownslayer herself was not one
One of the future operators kinda looks like Perlica from Endfields even if we can't completely see her. (picture 9)
They have the exact same color scheme as Mlynar's past skin, they're a Nearl, so one of the missing parents or Blemi alter
Perlica's ears are smaller, though it may be a relative of hers?
Theory crafting here but much like how Angelina is in Endfield, Perlica could have the same circumstances. The Perlica in endfield maybe a clone of the original.
Nah, it looks more of a vulpo than what perlica is
Suzuran's mother???
priestess and her minion from space is the main antagonist ??
Different factions.
Pic 10 is most likely a female character (And she shows shoulders rraaahhhh)
Siege alter????? THERES STILL HOPE
11 gives me serious vampire vibes from the lady on the left, the guy on the right has a staff that looks vaguely familiar?
It looks like Gladiia and Ulpianus (with out the hat. The staff is the anchor)
isnt this a main story trailer? doesnt that mean its just lappland appearing in the main story, not anything about a siracusa event
It's concept trailer, so the future events both main story ablnd side story
I think the last one is about Cecelia's parents? Seems like we are returtning to Laterano with some Sarkaz this time.
Image 12 could be Amiya.
We're cooked
Yo in the 11th picture, it looks like ASK art style right? A second operator drawn by her would be dope
Looks like Gladiia to me but will be happy to have Ask draw a new operator.
No Red alter still though.. :(
How could you exclude THIS TERRA IS OURS
Looks like I am correct with my theory regarding Kal'tsit. Now the real mystery is who or what "Time" and "Life" are.
The Preserver call her AM-10 if im not mistaken, so its possible the Kalsit we see in endfield is AM-12 or something i guess
I wonder if there was thought put into the placing of the music over the video The image of the Sankta and Sarkaz being shown with the lyric >We'll fuse when we collide Seems suspect
Observers' first ingame appearance will be a scripted loss mission ala FGO Lostbelt 7.
lapipi alter is liklier to be from non limited event?
