#world reset

this is me  being completely normal about the last  update and  bringing back stuff i already posted on twitter, it’s time for me to overanalize gbf too LET’S GO

i think this is my  first analysis post about  gbf here so let’s   begin with the sauce of the materials i’m about to bring in, no we're not gonna talk aobut the astrals the angels,, canaan and the war this is not about them this is only about world reset and the otherworld

Robomi Epic Clash 6-1

Right behind you 3-2

MSQ 129-3 

Old Bond 1-3

MSQ 165-2

Heart of the Sun 4-3

let’s begin by posting what i already put on twitter  before the last MSQ update

From here we can understand that the oldest point where civilization is mentioned in the granblue lore is 70k years ago which is A LOT, the world was described in a way that seemed very verdant yet technologically advanced ( atomic fusion is mentioned in the event as something known ) enough to overcome war, famine, sickness, everything seemed perfect until the population started to rapidly increase natural resources started depleting, animals dying, wars and disasters bursting up and that would generate negative world matter (it plays on the weight of the soul theory but i'm not gonna dwell into that) giving birth to the Wardant or world anti matter, the world got pretty much destroyed by chaos, abominations rampaged bla bla we'll call it the first cataclism or the end of the first world if you may

next we have what i'd like to call, the exodus, in right behind you we get to know that moon sliver's ruins predate the creation myth and they are from before the sky realm existed so we know that the old world was still around 20k years ago but this is still pretty distant from the story told in robomi as they are 50k years apart which is starting to make me think a new civilization emerged after the original world was "cleansed back to equilibrium" by world antimatter the cause of this world's demise is....we'll get to that later but this quite obviously marks the exodus from the old earth to the moon starting the moondweller civilization who survived for thousands of years while the world met it's end once again

In chapter 129-3 of the msq we get to know more of the creation myth(pretty much the stuff we knew from entemeanki going more into the specific reason of the creation of the sky and star vessels aka vyrn and lyria but it's not about them now) and we see an otherworlder commander known as the Envoy referring the otherworlders as the precursors, as we know otherworlders have a strong connection with death and back then was theorized that it meant that the precursors were the people who died during the destruction of the previous world, thing that is now confirmed to be canon

In old bond the six dragons pretty much just confirm that the current world is imperfect and not what it was supposed to be in the past and we know that the world's ruination is bahamut's fault, he's not called the god of destruction for nothing after all, the current world results inperfect, incomplete... the Omnipotent itself, the first god, is brought in as it's possible the world was first created by the Omnipotent, bahamut destroyed it but pretty much failed to put back the pieces to recreate the spherical earth we all know(and live on)

some extra facts like that there's some locations that were known to exist in the old world like hawaii (mentioned roughly in the alohas event) and like moon sliver or robomi herself ,some ancient remnants of the old world are still well preserved

In HSM we learn that the otherworlders hold a heavy grudge on moondwellers but it's not explored in detail, the common theory was that they felt betrayed and abandoned while they got left out when the exodus happened and were hence left to die on their own devices...that was considered rather far fetched back then but....maybe it's exactly what happened

-------------------------MSQ SPOILERS AHEAD-----------------------

in chapter 165 of the main story quest we get what's maybe the clearest view of the effective world destruction

these informations tho must be taken with a pinch ! It's important to understand that we are currently in a branched timeline and otherworlders travel between dimensions/timelines so the destruction we witnessed in that chapter might or might not be the one that the mc's world has experienced (there are currently 3major timelines that i'm aware of, the one of the side quests and events, the prime timeline that got corrupted and our current timeline) from "...and you" we know that different timelines can be similar or significally different to the point that the world's wedges could be entirely different

in the second sub chapter we are spectators of the memories of one of the harpy looking otherworlders, this world apparently had a different set of races than the one we are used to, this could be because it's from a different branch of the timeline or cause before the current iteration of the world there were different dominant species roaming the globe, we get to see that it's a rather rural and pacific world, no airships, no planes... it might remind of the initial state of the world 70k years ago minus the technology unless it's something uncomon in small villages, monsters also only recently seemed to be appearing as they are referred as

also the description of the species reminds a lot of the otherworlder types

it's noted that the inhabitants of this world live modest and peaceful lives but their world still reaches the point of destruction and rapidly turns into what we know as the crimson horizon, now here it gets interesting this passage might actually be a reference to the exodus

talking with a couple friends two theories emerged about that

1) the silver city in the night sky is indeed this world's equivalent of the moon

2) the tree in this picture is different from the one we saw could it be the silver city? or it is the source of the otherworld miasma?

unlike what happened to the purple knight's world here there's no invasion, the crimson horizon seems victim to almost a sort of micelium that corrupted the land and it's inhabitants, the precursors, turning them into what we now know as otherworlders... after thousands of years bahamut came and destroyed the earth in an attempt to purge it from the corrosion while the otherworlders were hoping for salvation

and the rest is history.....

Is this what actually happened?

Are the precursors/ otherworlders just victims of a world ending disease? And if so what was the cause?

Is this what happened in a different timeline/world?

Is this a slight retcon?

The post talked about how to make a computer that ran on a short wave system of communications that connected to others in your area who had the same system and how to make a computer that was connected to it. Although it didn't connect globally, locally is better than nothing, you know?

That computer's internet wouldn't shut down if the main grid internet did and the computers could be hooked up to bicycle batteries and stuff like that.
