so I was going through Book IV for my theory post a while back and. Holy crap the foreshadowing goes Hard in this Book

In chapter 2 part 1, the party initially notices the summoner’s absence:

And then Peony says this in response:

Funnily enough, that’s exactly what happened. As of right now, the summoner is trapped in a dream. And what’s this part called again?

This is a completely accurate statement. The summoner is indeed lost in a dream, just not in the way that the party or the players expect.

Let’s skip on up to chapter 5. In part one, everyone “wakes up” to an Askr flooded with nightmares… and besides Alfonse, no one seems to recognize the summoner.

Now, this event is clearly spurred on by a nightmare. Alfonse sees it as his own fear:

But check out the way he phrases it. The fear of losing somebody isn’t exactly one-to-one with what’s happening here. Anna and Sharena are acting like the Summoner never existed. If it was Alfonse’s fear of loss that had taken over, the others would be aware of Kiran’s identity and a nightmare summoner would be preying on that terror. But that’s not happening—because this isn’t Alfonse’s fear.

Instead, it reads more as a fear of loneliness—no one knowing who you are, no one remembering everything you’ve done together…. It fits with the Summoner’s personality, too: they’re always working and working, showing kindness to everybody unconditionally, and yet barely taking a moment to relax. They want to have friends so badly that the very idea of being forgotten and abandoned terrifies them to their very core… but that fear doesn’t affect Alfonse, and the Summoner knows that, so he just ends up confused.

Oh, and on top of all that, what’s this part called?

This title hits so hard once you know the twist because it applies to BOTH Alfonse and Kiran’s perspectives. Alfonse is remembering the name of someone else, while Kiran is remembering their own name. And, frankly, I doubt many people read the part titles anyway. It’s so easily looked over and yet it’s so incredibly obvious once you first spot it. I should know—I almost missed it myself!

In Part 6’s final bit, Memory of a Friend, Veronica asks Alfonse to tell her about Zacharias, at which point Alfonse reveals his memory issues. Pay attention to the specific wording he uses here:

Fog, huh? Take a look at this!

When Alfonse dreams of the World of Steel, it’s covered in fog… just like his memories. The world is obscured, empty and cold, and it’s excruciatingly unfamiliar to him. In the Midpoint Movie, however, he encounters one other person when he’s in the fogbound city:

The summoner, aggressively charging towards him with hands outstretched. You know what happens immediately after this daydream? The party clashes with the mind-controlled summoner, and the Summoner finally realizes who they are and reclaims their identity.

When you think of foreshadowing in this Book, you most likely think of the squirrel conversation (unrelated: I had Ratatoskr in my party when I was getting these screenshots and I just think that was funny) in 11-5:

Immediately after Anna says all this, Alfonse begins showing obvious discomfort as he comes to a realization.

Alfonse and the Identity Crisis! Look at him go! This could also be a potential interpretation of the Summoner v. Alfonse scene in the movie: the dreamt-up personality coming into conflict with the actual one.

This tells the player that this may not be the real Alfonse… but it doesn’t tell them WHO. And so, they’re still on their toes when the big reveal comes around—which makes the truth of Alfonse’s real identity hit so much harder.

TLDR: Book IV had some of the most amazing foreshadowing I’ve ever seen in a video game and I wanted to talk about it some

GOD SORRY. I am just SO fucking ALL OVER THE PLACE. I'm definitely struggling w like, wanting to do Too Many Things all at once. Head too full, running in circles about it.

So I'm just. Gonna drop ONE (1) very messy low-poly sketch in full, I do really wanna continue working on it bc I def feel like it'll be esp pretty in color, BUT. I'M ALREADY WORKING ON SOMETHING ELSE I'm planning on coloring.... some OTHER impulse shitpost comic............ I'd LIKE. To maybe get one thing off my chest and mind so I can exclusively focus on the other.

Okay. Slides you this.

Like it's a dumbass shitpost but this particular post has lived in my head for a while. Actually. As something Freyja would say to antagonize Moe.

Like... my idea here is Freyja is realizing her target has changed. She's trying to reach into the insecurities and fears of her new target. She has No Idea what "on-line" means. She's also an otherworldly goddess with a haughty holier-than-thou attitude and she's largely just entirely incomprehensible.

I think... for reasons you may be able to guess. Beyond the general plot points we're following, here. Freyja, on a personal level, ESPECIALLY has something she wants to "prove" to Moe specifically. She has a wounded ego and it's showing. She's just lashing out, really. And Moe happens to be a really convenient target, on top of her main goal (trapping the Order in the nightmare realm). Spoiler Alert: Her first attempt does backfire. Counter Spoiler Alert: She very quickly bounces back and, correctly this time, determines just what might be Moe's greatest weakness.

Also.

The Panic RAPIDLY beginning to set in as you realize that is NOT your brother that's your fuckass healer who's always on the back lines For A Reason who's always saying The Wrong Thing and is always just So Scareds.

Again, low-poly for now, but I esp like Sharena's pose!!! She's VERY MUCH dashing in like, ooohkay I don't know what to expect but if you're Moe now I'm worried about you fighting A Real Battle with a sword. Let me make up the difference! Please.

Inspo if I fucking. Forget to ever return to this (very possible given how I am.)

i hope one day there will be a a day in the life comic where the villains who have threatened kiran before attempt to mess with her in seemingly small ways that will undoubtedly affect her mental state but will not let breidablik's "do not hurt the summoner" clause kick in, because they've seen it work before

like maybe she has a big day soon so they try to sabotage. maybe she's holding a birthday party for someone. maybe she's campaigning for cyl. maybe she's just tired and wants to relax

but when they check on their trap, it turns out someone already sabotaged THEM ahead of time, with a calling card that's basically a colorful, orange and purple butterfly trapped in briar.

and then it cuts to a dimly lit room, with freyja laughing haughtily, revealing herself to be the one who sent the dokkalfar to sabotage them.

(freyr is there also, sighing, because he heard about the calling card and basically concluded that his sister is what those strange performers from tokyo call a tsundere)

(her fairies are also there, but sweatdropping)

why? you may ask.

yes, she may like to murder her some days. yes, she's definitely attempted to murder her before. and yes, that sort of behavior the villains were exhibiting is definitely something she'd do as well.

but that is freyja's human that they are messing with. and that is a no-no.

sure, they told her she could join, but the truth of the world is that only SHE can mess with the summoner like that.

(cut to alfonse asking if it's really okay for kiran to be so chill about the carnage that freyja caused, looking concerned because she's humming.

"why not? those punks should keep her busy long enough that she won't realize what i'm about to do to her freyr plushies."

and that's the point where he realizes his wife is absolutely nuts.)
