I think a rivalry between Pomme and Mollo would make a lot of sense, Mollo being the incredibly cool anarchist hero trying to tear down the establishment, vs Pomme who seems to have quite a lot of stake in the status quo of the future being maintained

Ok I thought Mollo was based but after actually watching that part of the video, his alignment seems... unclear. Is Mollo good? Does anyone know? Doesn't matter. I support trans rights _and_ trans wrongs.

I'm thinking Pomme works with or for Loxodont to keep Neo Julesvale and Neo Fire Capital people "entertained" and not question his ruling based off her stage background where Lox appears and even his name is spelled. Pomme sells people a *_SMOKE_* curtain and Lox keeps her famous and relevant.

It does seem like the air armada are pretty militaristic. We saw how they treated Elliana, I'm not surprised they'd immediately resort to smack downs if they see something that doesn't fly on their airships. I'm curious to see if Swiftwing gets some character development. Atm he doesn't seem as bad as Loxodont, but he also doesn't seem that much better either. He gives me prideful leader vibes being prejudiced towards flying creatures when he could have had an incredibly intelligent, creative, and dedicated soldier in Elliana among his ranks.

I'm now pretty convinced that the plan is for Clairen to have to somehow get involved in saving the champions from the abyss. Which just sounds pretty rad, but will need properly explained in Rivals 2. Personally, I think it'd be pretty cool for her to gather the heroes not in the abyss (Absa for example) and team up with them to get the other champions out, all while the other half of the story is the champions surviving and uncovering more about the abyss.

Super happy to see this video exist!! Rivals has the mechanics and gameplay down but it has the ability to really establish itself as its own IP with its characters and world! Most other platform fighters cheat their way into endearing you to their cast by being crossover games. I’d love to see the team work on really fleshing out the world and more to draw more than just the hyper technical competitive crowd. I’m only half way through the video at this point, but I recall Rivals 2’s story mode director comparing it to subspace with a particular focus in detailing the dynamics, strengths, and weakness of the individual rivals. That and collectibles which likely have even more lore attached. Extremely interested to see how Aether Studio chooses to move forward with it!

Great video!!! The editing was great and your able to lay out the confusing stories in a nice comprehensive way. I have one dumb nitpick tho, it’s about the aetherian forest fire. The world of aether was always a massive forest, but because of the fire nations battling for power (as stated in the LOA test 😭) they started an immense forest fire that enraged Sylvanos. Sylvanos was also enraged by the merchants cutting down the trees BEFORE the war happened. So once Sylvanos awoken the fire nation and the earth… people started fighting. The war continued but eventually the Earth People realized that Sylvanos was too powerful and greedy, and decided to end the war by making a pact with the wall runners. Also I think Kragg is the only character who has control of the earth, Im pretty sure but I can’t remember why I know that. Also your right about Ranno going to the Hodojo, they talk about that in one of their stage showcases when the kickstarter was happening. Either way, great video and Im glad someone finally made a lore video

Wow, Rivals has much deeper lore than I gave it credit for. I think I kind of love this series now, and it's exactly the kind of lore building I think most fighting games* (recognizing of course that the Aether series goes beyond just platform fighters now) neglect. I'm excited to how these plots develop in the next game and beyond, and I love how many side characters have perfect set ups to be playable in Rivals 2. Seriously while I'm sure they will make some more completely original newcomers, I think there's enough side characters to pull from to become playable in the mainline Rivals platformer fighter series that they straight up wouldn't have to make new characters if they didn't want to. I'm hoping some of these guys join fleet in becoming officially playable in Rivals some day. I know it would probably be non-canon, but Randall's necromancer design slaps so hard and I kind of want to see him throw hands with Loxodont in Rivals 2. I feel like Ayala has high potential as a technology based engineer fighter too.

as someone who only played rivals 1, I am amazed by the magnitude of this story! a few things I found interesting: - sylvanos is the only playable "god", with orcane possibly being one too. does this mean we could get more >.> - fleet and olimpia seem a bit OP in the story, with them engaging in 3 fights in a row - the stories of eliana and zetterburn/forsburn and clairen are so good, they deserve their own movie - if fleet is in rivals 2, could this mean we get slade and the other 3 "thieves" too? that's be cool. also I hope etalus and eliana make it to the sequel and get a bit more to story relevance - mollo and pomme are from the future. I hope they find a way to rivals 2 somehow. maybe they followed clairen... somehow? lol

I wonder if Clairen will run into Forsburn and if that will cause some tension since she knows she's his ancestor but might want to keep that a secret less she risks altering time. I definitely love the three "thieves" and would be down to see them be playable. I'm hoping we se Eliana's development too, her plight is completely understandable and I'm hoping she gets a happy ending. I wonder if the prejudice against non flying creatures is something the entire air armada holds, or if Swiftwing is just a prejudiced leader. If someone more open minded took his place or perhaps he opened his mind a bit he could see how Eliana would be a powerful ally for the Armada to have if she still wanted to join them, or maybe Wrastor could see her potential and they could be allies, even if she is officially over the Armada because of how they treated her.

As a fellow Æther loremaster, I must salute all the work and research that went into making this video, it was awesome! 👌 If I could add some bits, it'd be, and correct me if I'm wrong: wasn't it stated that Ranno cleans the waters of pollution coming down from Merchant Port? And aren't Zetter and Fors half-brothers (The latter being illegitimate, if not unloved)? Also, shoutouts to the irony of Neo Julesvale being nicknamed the City of Greed, considering the 'message™' of Dungeons 😛 There are also misc. facts, like Mollo being apparently pronounced [MO-YO] and that he's canonically trans, but that's really the gist of it (:3) Once again, awesome bloody good work mates!
