Theory: everyone on amphoreus is already dead

(Reposting because my FFXIV brain called the planet omphalos) Characters are literal memories of heroes, like the heroic spirits in Fate. Subsequently Fate will probably happen on amphoreus.

Evidence cheat sheet.
- black swan’s description of the planet.

• obvious parallel to the flame chaser and their after-life retirement home.

• herta mentioned that adventures of heroes are like dice thrown, visual callback to tabletop rpgs.

• similarly elysia (expy) taking the center stage of the trailer at the end, cementing the fact that she has the most to do with this story, just like her hi3 counterpart

• Aglaea’s trailer title is the only one not titled as extraterrestrial communication. Maybe because this summon was never supposed to be a physical communication message?

• Aglaea’s character introduction is, for the first time, a literal character sheet. With information listed like a character in a game.

• “you shall summon heroes of this world, and lead them to once again embark on an endless journey.”
