PSO2 EPISODE4 Story: What the hell is going on

[Tymek]

Title says it all.
Can someone explain this to me? My Japanese is too...bad to know. Something with you going into cold sleep for two years directly after the battle with [Profound Darkness] because of Darker particles or something? And suddenly Earth?

[Jay6]

I think... that about sums it up. PSO2 became self aware that it's a video game, and suddenly, Japan is being attacked by T-Rexs, zombies, trains, steam rollers... It all makes perfect sense to me.

You were put in cryo sleep because you were tainted by Darkers after hanging out with Falzes too much.

Earth is is a parallel universe where PSO2 is a videogame, though Tokyo players somehow can cross to you world when playing it. You trace Earth's location after seeing Hitsugi log out.

PSO2: 'Till The End Of Time

Star Ocean at least had the decency of having the 4D Beings be at a higher stage of cultural development then the Pan-Galaxy Federation. But to be a plaything of some backwater like Earthlings would just be insulting. Even worse it ties into the animation which is a Sword Art Online knock off.

Bottom line; they just stopped trying.

I can see why people are comparing this to Star Ocean 3, but from what I understand it is a bit more like how the DC Multiverse works: parallel worlds connected through a form of media.

Quick and rough rundown of how it works there:

Spoiler!

Comic books on each Earth are subconsciously recounting events that have happened on a parallel Earth (their coexistence is rationalized as each Earth having a different "frequency" at which they vibrate). Earliest example, Barry Allen, the Silver Age Flash, was inspired to be a hero by the comics he read about Jay Garrick, the Golden Age Flash, who on Barry's Earth (Earth-1) is merely a fictional character. Later on, Barry inadvertently finds himself on a parallel Earth (Earth-2) when he vibrates his molecules at a certain frequency (his original intention was to merely vibrate fast enough to appear invisible); he discovers that Earth-2 is actually the home of a very much real Jay Garrick.
Grant Morrison recently delved further into this aspect of the Multiverse in The Multiversity, where each Earth's comics serve as a beacon to the others as a warning and a call for help.

Basically, whoever created PSO2-Earth's version of PSO2 has found a way to directly influence the ARKS universe by allowing Earthlings to enter it via avatars, and the botched purification we performed broke the wall between parallel worlds further.

Come on guys, there's literally a link to the first thread for this right there...

Wouldn't a Mulitiverse theory like that require something like the Akashic Records just to hold it together as a center piece tho?
