MORE REVERSE: 1999 LORE CONTENT WOOHOOO

Not sure if anyone mentioned this yet, but the “Confusion” debuff icon is consist of a moon and an eye just like how Arcana described Vertin’s Scar.

[zomfgroflmao]

**pulling out the crackpipe** My idea is that Vertin actually doesn't see her mother, but herself in an older state, and to go even further, that even might be the trigger for time flowing backwards due to the time paradox that happened because of Vertin seeing herself. That doesn't mean that she doesn't have a mother, but the person she saw and thought was her mother wasn't.

[KM-gfpy]

Another easter egg and perhaps connected to another theory is when you tap in the game there is a small animation, when you zoom it in it says "Make good use of this umbrella". And I instantly thought about the last part in chapter 3 where Madam Z asked Vertin to be a timekeeper, she was using an umbrella and seems like she didn't get affected by the storm. Perhaps its similar to Vertin's suitcase and we actually dk where/who it came from.

Anyways loved the video, I always love a good old theory crafting and you never disappoint!! Honestly when I played re:1999 I was hooked!! And I kept on finding videos/info related to it, glad to see you make videos of it.

X mentioned about the origin of the "storm" start off from a species butterfly, it reminds me of the butterfly effect

[arceuse]

When you use Soneto in combat, she mentions the moon and the night in some of her lines but I don't know if this holds any significance. Apparently, the "I know the moon and this is an alien city" line comes from the poem A London Thoroughfare and it's meaning (if I'm not mistaken) is that the author sees the moon as something that's closer to them than the city itself.
Maybe this means that the moon holds significance to all arcanists in some way?

EDIT: After playing some of the events, the poem starts to make even more sense. The moon is something alien but arcanists feel attached to it because they themselves feel "alien" in the world of humans.

[gwennaneliezer]

The first moon reference on top of my head:
"I know the moon, And this is an Alien city." - A London Thoroughfare. 2 A.M. (and also Sonetto when casting her buff)

[addgame]

from my understanding, Vertin's suitcase can only protect Arcanist from the storm. The suitcase being a pocket dimension combined with the Arcanists' ability and immunity to the storm syndrome allows them to survive the storm. While the Manus and the foundation can save both arcanist and regular people, however, one has no intention of doing so while the other doesn't have the resources to save everyone. I don't think Manus and the foundation know the cause of the storm since the foundation got no reason to do so while Manus so far feels like opportunists who takes advantage of the storm.

Love Reverse 1999 so much. This game NEEDS more theory and lore creators!

[RuTo]

My theory is she’ll possibly go way back in time or the future but as of now looks like she can only go back in time I think. Her new mission is to save everyone that got hit by the storm.The storm never really killed them to begin with it either put all them back in there own time period or stuck them in Limbo place or frozen time period where you still age but time doesn’t move. My other theory is Vertin will try to takedown Constantine and take down the school in doing so she’ll find the location of her mom. I love the story so far so many possibilities I just hope we get to see “The Ring” and Schneider again 😢

[Wan-cdru]

Is there any possibility that Vertin's mother has the power to create a storm so that's why her daughter can brave the storm easily because she has a special gen from her mother? I remember Vertin said that she saw her mother with a lot of equipment and in my opinion it was indeed the foundation that used Vertin's mother to create the storm just like what Arcana said. But the real question is, is it just Vertin's mother that will play a big role in this storyline later on? What about her father? Is he just a normal human or maybe...
But then again, X says that the storm happened because it was an effect of a "butterfly".
As for Vertin's final fate ( spoiler from chapter 5 ), 37 says that Vertin's number is 0. Number 0 means a fate where all the things change but the owner of the number will remain unchanged. Vertin's loneliness will also last forever. Some people from the CN made a theory from this too. When everything is over, Vertin will not go back to the future but she will stay in the past alone forever. Another one is, Vertin is actually a successful experiment (The storm starts happening because of Vertin ) and her mother is a failed experiment. That means someone will need to kill Vertin to stop the storm.
(I'm sorry, my head hurt just from thinking about this, the Reverse 1999 story writer team is seriously a genius )

The only mention of the moon that I can remember off the top of my head is Sonetto's buff skill voice line, "I know the moon, and this is an alien city."
which might mean something.

You're missing a bit of info about the doves. Especially on that era.
Doves were consider messengers and eyes- eyes being spies at that time. Not only by sending/delivering information. They're also hard to distinguished with pigeons on a broader look.
And the doves that flew over with Vertin and Lilya at the time of their escape were the eyes of a different group inside the foundation. Which are still vague and I personally want to know more about them. Are they a foes or an ally. Just saying~
You're Welcome~

[Sovereign_Mozu]

even by looking at Constantine alone, you know How suspicious and little we know about the St. Pavlov Foundation, regarding a whole chapter dedicated to the Foundation, still, we still have close to 0 of knowing anything from The foundation, both it hides and not.

[Latency]

I dunno, but I think the thing on Vertin's back is a magic circle? I was looking for a symbol with the moon, eyes and lines. Closest I got was the Eye of Horus.

[justifiably_stupid]

Ive been waiting for content like this. The story is like an abstract water painting: beautiful from afar but incomprohensible up close.
We need to look at it from the proper perspective.

[steeljaw]

So happy to see you're enjoying this game and covering its lore!!

[CrimsonKnight]

The moons, eyes and lines on vertin's back isnt a reference to character resonances? Some resonance symbols include lines, moons and eyes.

[thehumus]

imo, the Storm kinda remind me of Y2K - millenium bug event
its described as Computer Apocalypse back in the days, there lot of craze and some hysteria around it

when year goes from 1999 to 2000 - the computer all around the world would experience catacalysmic bug - Storm of event would unfold, due to date programing error every computer database would be rolled back or entire history (as in computer history) wiped out - your payment, your bank account, whole encyclopedia database, your stock, your saving in bank, to Russian Mir Space station crashing down due to date error etc. afterall in Digital life its all just 0 and 1. and in aftermath humanity would revert back to an analog era~

well, ofc that didnt happen irl

[hatchet_fish]

I think the symbolism of Vertin as Jesus is really interesting, as her mother must resemble god (as jesus is the son of god) i think constantine or madame z represent mary in the story, neither are vertins actual real parent/mother. i think vertin's mother is the one behind the storm as it would make sense that vertin would start "seeing" her mother when she was causing the storm. it would make sense since god is able to destroy the world/reverse time and do whatever. her mom being described as special also adds on this.
