Code Vein and God Eater
I'm unclear on the connection between the two. I've read that it's the same universe, but that they only cross over in a very nebulous way. Any further information anyone has without me needing to dive into wikis for an hour?

Having played all the God Eater games and Code Vein, At this point I am 90% sure they aren't related or even the same universe.

Case in point, The law states different origins for "Monsters outside the veil"(CV) and Aragami(GE). Aside from that one time, there's nothing that really relates the two universes. At least as far as I remember.

At this point, anyone saying it is. Is just assuming they are related based on Data mining assets and that one movie event.

You obviously didn't watch cutscenes :Alisa2::happyio:

I just wanna add that the devs did specify they want CV to be its own thing.
I think the cross-over thingy between CV and GE is the same kinda cross-over we get between Shin Megami Tensei and Persona... Same designs and all, yet different in their approach, nonetheless.
Hmm. Okay. So Pita the Psyon showed up. So? Doesn't prove anything.

If we take it at face value, It would put the game between GE1 and 2 in the time line. If we look at Code Vein law. It states that Rev's were made to combat the first wave of the Great Collapse(Prior to evolution)[or the experiments on The Queen, Can't remember exactly]. which in God Eater law, Are OgreTails etc etc. Cannon fodder basically...

Just based on comparing law. A rev couldn't kill a Psyon from the GE universe, let alone anything from GE 3. See what I'm getting at here? With the information around, we can't make a conclusion to the entire thing because if it is the same universe, Why are the origins different? Why is the tech entirely different?

Ya can speculate all you like but there's no proof and the evidence there is is contradictory, at least for now. *Shrugs*

So far this is all we have, the rest is a guess, perhaps in future DLCs, we will see someone from the universe of the God Eater :heartmia::Lindow1:

To me yes it is related
Louis name
Dyaus Pita
Regenerative power of the revenents
The "collapse" that happen in the flashback of the anime

I do think that code vein (revenants ) is the first version of god eater who litterally gone wrong with the queen

If you think about all of this and the saying of mido late game about " the things outside" it can be also related.

No, Cause Gen 1 God eaters can't beat a psyon(Pita). Based off GE law. Psyons are a joke in GE 3 with ashborn and such but regardless. If Code vein is based before god eater, Why Pita? Makes no sense.

Not the same universe. Sorry to disappoint.

Whether there is a connection is debatable... and there has been some debate!
Personally, I feel there's too much evidence that they do share the same world. Others feel differently. Across these two threads you'll find lots of points for both sides, Hopefully future DLC will clear it up.

Okay, that helps. I can get behind that. I understand the gist of the story and didn't know if I was missing a much larger context. Guess the answer was no. haha

It's as connected as The Witcher is with Monster Hunter.

It's not even though one has references to the other.

The Red Mist is one major factor in this, as it's been maintained for an indeterminate amount of time and is a major event the followed the destruction of the Queen, which is something that would have been recorded as part of the world's history in and outside of the mist. The fact neither of these is present or even possible in the God Eater universe is something to keep in mind.

And that's just two major points that help break the link.

It's set before God Eater 1, because you can see the moon during the flame stage and it's not been the target of the Devouring Apocalypse yet; the very latest this game could be would be concurrent with GE1.

The best guess of the timeline:

* Early 2050s - The "Great Collapse"

* Operation Queenslayer is probably set in the mid-to-late 2050s. Project QUEEN started pretty early on after the Great Collapse, and Mido implies the Gaol of the Mists came up pretty early on in Aragami evolution, when they were still on par with Revenants.

* The game is probably set in the 2060s, because (as mentioned) the Devouring Apocalypse of 2071 hasn't occurred yet. Also, the world of Vein is ratcheting downwards - every revenant that becomes Lost permanently tilts the balance in favor of the Lost. It's definitely been a while since Queenslayer - long enough for the blood beads to spread and subsequently fall to miasma, and long enough for the "third generation" and "fourth generation" revenants to wake - but not long enough for revenant society to completely collapse to the ever-increasing numbers of Lost.

Code Vein has a cooler realm than GOD EATER really.

Being a big fan of both games, I'm dying for an official clarification. Are they the same universe? Is Code Vein an alternate timeline or seperate universe? If so, what rules apply? They're killing me here.

God Eater plays outside of red mist wall you can see in Code Vein.
Code Vain plays inside of the wall.
When you facing Mido in Code Vein he shows something on that wall and that big beast is an Aragami (known from God Eater).

If you guys don't follow the Anime of both then just watch this 46 min lore video about Code Vein. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vnvGJgT1stE&t=2408s

The only "official" connecting tissue at the moment (as far as I know) is the monster you see during Mido's speech just before the provisional government grounds. That's a creature (Aragami) ripped straight out of God Eater.

Judging by Mido's speech, he was hoping to disperse the red mist and have the revenants evolve as a "species" by travelling to the outside world and fighting these monsters - or Aragami as they're called in God Eater.

My best guess at this point is that Code Vein is probably a prequel to God Eater. It could be that, just as Mido suggested, the Revenants and the BOR-parasites were the base for what later evolved into the God Eater "strain", or whatever you want to call it.

I really liked Code Vein and been a fan of the God Eater franchise for some time, so needless to say I'm very much excited to see where it goes from here regardless.
