Theory on the mystery behind the Zogratis siblings.

I stopped making these analysis and theory posts because when BC moved schedule we get less content and less lore. And little lore to play with means we leave much to assumptions. But for this I wanna mention this little detail I noticed.

Looking back on the Dark Triad's profiles we see their ages unmarked or simply -???-

But why is this so. I bet this isn't a mistake. In fact I think it is a big hint as to why... Its because

These three all died already.

Meanwhile only him among the siblings lived, Lucius Zogratis. Hence a revealed age.

But when did they die? I say they died long before. Before the Clover battle with Spade, before the Zogratis coup, and maybe even before getting their devil contracts....

So when exactly? My guess, its that Chapter 333 (odd looking number?? A hint to trinity!?) hints to it. Look at how this page is laid out. Its one page but I cut it into halves. The upper half, all siblings can be seen. Lower half, its just Lucius. The Dark Triad died somewhen between these 2 scenes. See how the way they oddly contrast. Lucius grew up and he's all on his own, 5 headstones lay before him.

Further explained, the 2nd pic looks like the devil binding circle under the Faust household but yet we see headstones (maybe graves!?) occupying the circle at Lucius'. Its odd coz Nacht kept their binding circle clean and untouched even when he no longer summoned anymore.

Based on what we see in hints of the triads past, esp Zenon, last we see Lucius, Dante, and Vanica all alive was when they all have contracts to their respective devils already.

But, I belive its possible or most likely, the triad died, Lucius (in desperation) had contract with Astaroth, revived the siblings with soul magic, had them form their own contracts shortly.

It could explain why he's so obssesed with the idea of undying bodies. Lucius witnessed his siblings die. (Maybe from the war or some other conflict. This might also lead the following plot points to circle back to Diamond Kingdom and explain the political tension between the nations of Clover-Spade-Diamond which was implied.)

But that's just all my theory. A Whack Theory.

My next analysis and theory post in mind is "Digging into the possible past of Lucius (and Spade) based on his Judgement Day plan." Maybe. If I am not lazy. 😅🤣 Or lets just wait for the next chapters on January 😂😭

The question hidden within enemies-to-lovers is “who will love me at my worst?”, the question hidden within friends-to-lovers is “who will love me at my most mundane?”, hope this helps

best ship dynamic is when they go from "you fool" (derogatory) to "you fool" (desperate)

i used to hate the tales of the abyss ending for leaving off on an ambigious and otherwise quiet note, but i know better now. ive had an entire character arc. ive grown. and honestly i believe its not only the best ending in the series - of the ones ive played, so far, i have high hopes for xillia 2 - but it fits the game perfectly. luke's character arc gets wrapped up perfectly, and you know exactly what happens with the rest of the party, so there aren't many loose ends. there are several side quests in the game that tell you exactly what happened to luke and asch, as well, and yet the man in the epilogue has several characteristics from luke himself. they give you the perfect amount of info to have a clue as to what happened, and a perfect amount of assorted pieces to leave you guessing. it really is a matter of not who deserves to live more - because the game itself beat you over the head with that every time luke and asch came on screen - but what you, the player, wants to believe. even if its narratively sound that asch lives, you could want to see luke come to terms with his life in the epilogue instead. even if you think luke earned his happy ending, you could prefer to see the resolution to asch's character arc. it could be both of them. it could be neither. frankly, whatever he said or looks like has no meaning in the grand scheme of the epilogue -- regardless of what you believe there is and will never be a "canon" answer. there was never meant to be one. it rules!!
