Sigh. It really gon' be like that huh
So to clarify....
They used the wrong skybox.
Probably. Or they made the cutscene separately, prior to the skybox being created. Or they didn't have one made in the "dawn" shade they wanted so used another, more convenient one hoping nobody would notice it's actually the sector 6 plate above them, since it's only visible for about 3 seconds of the ending (I just rewatched it).
Messed up the signage of Seventh Heaven.
I don't see a huge difference between the two. Nothing that requires there to be an alternative universe to explain anyway.
Created a hitherto unknown puppy for a bag of chips while the previously used model of said puppy exist,ed within the assets of the game still.
This is an indication there is an AU, or that the timeline has been altered in some way. I will take this moment to remind you that I believed this from the start, and also that you've spent the vast majority of your time in this thread arguing *
against* that notion, even going so far as to claim that the dog is simply a lower rank because less stars are visible on his hat. (I don't always get involved but I certainly read the posts lmaooooooooooooooooooooo)
Showcased Zack seemingly surviving his last stand and being surprised by his own survival.
Again yeah this is right, I argued this from the beginning lol.
Showed Biggs being alive against all odds.
Don't wanna repeat myself but yes
Showcased Jessie's personal effects strangely placed on the desk near Biggs' bed.
Not sure this is indicative of anything yet since we don't know if she's alive.
And all of these strange things happen to simply be a coincidence?
Nope! Some of these things are clearly there to tell us the timeline has changed in some way. Some of these things are far more likely to be goofs. I don't see the point in the fandom grasping at straws to prove something they can easily discern from other stuff going on.
Like, it's not that deep guys. We don't need to make it more complicated than it is. They made an AU. Use the evidence they actually gave you and don't get hung up on details that can easily be explained in other ways. The last thing we need to be doing is making this more trouble than it needs to be. By all means, go on treasure hunts and look for indicators but
Even if it were just a partial collapse it's still a radical change that would be the result of a change in time. Why else would that happen?
This is all very mysterious.
Some of it is mysterious yeah but the majority of things now that people are arguing are proof of an AU are - to me - simply things that happened in the version of events we played. We didn't actually see Biggs die for example. I believe his place in the ending is meant to prove that he has recovered (against all odds) where the fate things wouldn't have let him do so if the party hadn't defeated them. I don't believe it means the sector 7 collapse segment we actually played in the game happened any differently.
This is strongly reminding me of the time when the remake was revealed and people spent a thousand pages being absolutely certain the gold hilt of the buster sword was hidden under the studs. No. Reality check please.
