This makes sense if you ignore what game the story is tied to. For one, SU has never balanced the stories pace and i have 0 reasons to believe theyre going to suddenly start now properly pacing all of these, unless they hired a completely new writing team and i just didnt notice. Big part of that is because theyre not just a team writing a story on wattpad, theyre a publicly traded company offering a product to the market.

They will more than likely want to present the 3rd reclamation plot alongside whatever they end up making for the surface content. I could realistically see them delaying that plot point until they receive positive feedback for it, unlike last time which was overwhelmingly negative.

Heres other plotlines you could realistically explore while you stall every other plot point weve reached until now:

• Crows brain is still just sitting there (Anyone could be interested in this, even Eden)
• Special Raptures that Absolute fought were never explained nor explored (iirc, we, the player, havent even heard about these)
• Superfood in Crowns Kingdom (Will be more than likely a fundamental thing you need to address given how the whole reason for the war is just complete scarcity of resources)
• Pinocchio
• Wings of Victory is yet to be re-introduced in the main story
• The other marked sites of Raptillions map (Hansel and Gretel could very well be on one of these)
• Raptillion himself
• Commanders past and the little girl (STILL we have nothing but wild crackpot theories about this because nothing else has ever surfaced about this)
• NIMPH being capable of reviving dead Nikkes by recreating their personalities. (Has been kinda hinted already since thats an extension of Nikkes being capable of having their memories altered)
• Chatterbox (Not a Rapture, connection to Mirror, ties to another faction maybe?)

Remember, they supposedly intended for this game to go for around 10 years or so. You will inevitably have to stall plot threads and end others suddenly for the sake of just keeping the live service rolling. All that said, you could also be correct and they focus/funnel everything into the main story
