We need Leopaldon!

Here’s what 10th Memorial has to say:

“Wilderness Gravemarker: also called the Meteor Shower stage.

It showcases a Meteor Shower that comes once every few Hundred Years, and depicts the march of giants.

The Cosmic Mystery is expressed on a Large Scale.

The playable characters focused on here are Sol, Ky, and I-No.”

While it never explicitly states the giants are actually GEARS, such beings have never actually made an appearance in the world prior to these events… and while an argument could be made they are Youkai… Gears and Youkai aren’t very different in makeup based on Ishiwatari’s definitions anyhow.

I would argue that said creatures are in migration, as in they are searching for another food source or better climate.

Ishiwatari was trying to express that the natural world is a mystery beyond us mere humans in this description, so we can’t really make much conjecture based on that statement alone (or rather he won’t let us, based on the description).

This is just a quick guide for unlocking stuff, in case you ever decide to unlock things from a fresh game save:
