The Big Continuity Error Masterpost (SPOILER WARNING)
Because of how long the extended demo has been out, I'll only be openly discussing things that happen before the end of week five. (As far as I know itch's text editor doesn't have any spoiler text technology, so please read carefully if you haven't completed the full game!)
Part 1: The Revaire Timeline
"Twenty years ago, a bloody coup, [sic] changed the face of Revaire." This has been pointed out before, but multiple delegates' experience pre-coup is extensive enough that this timeline doesn't make sense.
- On Clarmont's first date he describes his father teaching him to hunt when he was eight and dying when he was ten. Later, in his week five breakup conversation, he states that his father was "one of the first", killed alongside the Revaire royals; this would make him 30 years old, but according to the wiki he's 24
- Emmett was sent to Revaire briefly when he was six ("things were getting really contentious there") - if he's 19 (as per the wiki) and the coup was twenty years ago he wouldn't even have been born yet!
I understand that the specific timing of the coup is probably so that [SPOILER] could be smuggled out of the country as a baby, but I feel as though doing so as a young child is just as plausible. I feel like these references could be preserved if the coup was fifteen years ago (which would make Clarmont 25 - maybe newly 25 - and let Emmett go to Revaire at the age of four or so)?
Further parts to come!
