Happy N7◢ day !!

It's far from perfect bc it was very rushed, but this year the focus is on the future of mass effect!! I'm excited and curious to discover even a crumb of the plot line hehehe

Liara has the outfit from 2020 teaser, and the geth is clothed like in the 2023 poster (and a matching hood obv). No I'm not obsessed what are you talking about

so are we reaching some kind of conclusion about N7 day, and the future of the mass effect franchise? how are we feeling?

my summary:

tv show is not about shepard

tv show will probably lead to the next game and both tv show and game happen after me3. we think the game happens more or less 600 years after

teaser shows liara might be in it and she finds the remains of an N7 armor in a frozen land

teaser mentions "Ark 6 is away. Godspeed" (I'm trying to find an image teasing angara in the next game, did I dream it????)

N7 still plays a part in it, but we don't know how and if it means the Systems Alliance is still active?

People believe the Renegade/Paragon system is returning

this image tells us relays are being constructed (I think?)

a Krogan Civil War might happen

in the teaser a voice mentions losing contact and asking if anyone can hear them, this might be a reference to this image showing a ship adrift in the middle of a crater

I think we're all relieved the tv show will not feature Shepard, but it's possible Shepard will be in the next game (might be insane of me to say this but I think cryogenics might play a part in it......).

We also have a canon ending that might be introduced: someone in the tag said it happens all the time with games and we might as well just deal with it, and I agree. It's out of our control anyway.

But I also think, no matter what they do in the next game or in the tv show, WE as a fandom, as Gamble pointed out, have OUR story. I remember when that N7 day 2015 video dropped and how genuinely moved we all were. That day was so emotional. This was a way of saying that no matter what, a part of Shepard and the trilogy will always be with us. And no one and nothing can take that away (including a possible bad tv show or a bad game). So I'm good no matter what, you know? :)

tv show confirmed to be post-me3. krogan warfare with new battlemaster. civil war. me5 taking place roughly 600 years after the reaper war, if you believe the older interviews about liara's matriarch age, means it'll also be a sequel to the show. which means the show coming out sooner than the game will give us vital context. FUCK yes.

mr gamble i owe you my life. your crumbs can feed me for months.

My brother and I were talking about ME5 and whether or not it would and should be about Shep and cash grabs and returning characters and messing up characterization and I said I’m not sure if I can play Shepard if they don’t bring back Garrus. He found it unlikely since we don’t know how far in the future ME5 plays and I just tried to explain this feeling in my chest that I CAN‘T PLAY SHEPARD WITHOUT GARRUS

So I then had to explain to him that whole „there is no Shepard without Vakarian“ line and I stand by my point that Garrus is Liara‘s equivalent and they cannot not bring him back since Liara and Garrus are the most consistent romances imo.

Anyway I just have Shakarian feels, don’t mind me

???!!! OMG I’m waiting now

[ceo-of-sloppy-women]

i will buy mass effect 5 at full price if i get to romance a drell or krogan lady

CONFESSION:

No matter what happens with ME5, I'll always have Mass Effect Andromeda to replay. I hope that ME5 will be something that I'm willing to play (so, not locking us into the Destroy ending; that would be someone else's game) and not a resurrected Shepard or something like that. I have a lot of faith in the team ... but I worry about higher-ups meddling.
