So, I read the blog and saw this posted:

"There’s a lot about Reza that’s been left unsaid. I’m not sure if anyone has come even close to figuring out one particular thing about him, though."



The only thing that I can theorize/guess is that Reza possibly works/worked for the same organization that Izumi does/did, as he somehow knows the underground base and its generators came from humanity. How did he determine this? He has never seen the blueprint/papers at the police station. He doesn't know about the hatch in Tatsu Park either.

Also, one of his lines he speaks in the endings is this:

"Besides, this generator and the whole building came from our time."

How else could he even know this techonology came from humanity in the first place? How could he know this techonology didn't exist in that time and place?

Now, about the portal. My theory is, he doesn't actually know how they function, so he can't input new coordinates like Izumi could. He may or may not know if these came from humanity as well.

Reza probably identified the building's origin using his PDA, just as he mentions to the player that the PDA was also able to indicate to him that the portal leads to the past.

As far as the dev saying there's something we haven't uncovered about Reza, that is very interesting.

[JeffMakesGames]

I have HUGE doubts that any PDA had information about this building being sent back in time.

Sure, if we point a PDA to the sky, it might tell us star positions.

Hopefully, Saunders will eventually just tell us at some point.

Time travel is messy as it is.

If this was a Bioshock game it would turn out that the protagonist and Reza were the same person all along.

Reza would be the young version of the protagonist because he never repeats the timeline in the same body while the player character would be the older version of the protagonist because you have gone through it so many times in your current body that you've visibly aged and been scarred to the point where you don't look or act the same anymore. You would have started off caring only about the human world, but through the efforts of the Administrator this older version of you has learned to love the dragons and their world enough to want to save it too.

Neither of you would remember, of course, because of the false memories, bleed-through, and general madness created by the cumulative effects of poking hundreds or thousands of holes in local spacetime.

Of course I don't think that's it at all because this is entirely it's own story and is quite different... But there was a while playing I started to think that might end up being one possible big reveal. And really, I wasn't even all that far off considering that in some of the iterations the protagonist has taken up the mantle of the Administrator.

It's not possible for you and Reza to be the same person. You both come from the same world, same time line. You are two completely different people. So that theory has to be shot down.

I know I know- like I said, "if this were a Bioshock game." They would have hand-waved it away with memory editing, saying you think that, but it's not actually true. I was just sharing it as musings of what could have been.

I have a feeling the real answer is something a lot deeper and character-driven, something about his motivation or his history, since that kind of detail seems to be at the core of this game.

It's more about connections and vulnerability than it is about plot twists- it just also has some great plot twists!

I would love to give my incite on this, but with the manga I'm making, it'd be too much spoilers...
