[[WMG: Ricky reintroduced firearms to Etria after she woke up.]]
As the first "true" Gunner in Story Mode, she would end up striking up interest in her modern-style semi-auto pistol with various explorers. A quick dive into ancient records unearthed the schematics for archaic firearms as well, which, after the shopkeepers and blacksmiths failed to replicate her handgun, were the best they could do to reproduce her style of weapon. Later games introduce more refined weapons as firearms knowledge was rediscovered.

Like Arken's fleet, they arrived at Earth, possibly in pursuit of the Abyssal God seen in Armoroad's depths, and helped humanity's brightest scientists conceive the Yggdrasil Project.

The Forest Folk have long forgotten the true nature of Yggdrasil's Core and treat it as a 'god' because their passed-down instructions have become muddled in the deeps of time, and have also lost much of their technology because knowledge was not passed to them by the actual experts/scientists amongst them back in the past. Ricky does not remember them because her memories of them have been lost to time spent in cold sleep.

* Considering the makeup of the prior Untold guilds, it's likely EO3U's will follow the mold of having a tank, an elemental attacker, and a healer as party members--in EO3U, this could translate to the Hoplite, Zodiac, and Monk classes. With those categories out of the way, perhaps the deuteragonist heroine will be a Dancer, to fill a buff role?

[[WMG: Speculation on what class the second most important member to the party will be of in Untold 3.]]
I have come to notice that there's a little pattern of sorts when it comes to the deuteragonist of the story modes thus far and that would be they are of a class introduced originally in the next game. Don't understand what I mean? Frederica is a Gunner, they were a class option introduced in II. Arianna is a Princess, the Sovereigns began their reign in III. Whenever Untold 3 comes out I expect this same pattern will follow with one of the more significant members of the team that takes a lot of the hero's focus will be one of IV's classes. Which one seems most likely the case to be this team member?

[[WMG: JustForFun [=:=] Etrian Odyssey V's stratum boss battle theme will contain the word Vein or Flesh in it]]
This silly WMG is mostly based on the trend of the four games' stratum boss battle theme titles: ''Dyed In'' '''Blood''', '''Scarlet''' ''Rain'', ''Hoist the Sword with Pride in the'' '''Heart''', and ''The Burning'' '''Crimson''' ''Sword Dances''. Notice the trend of including something '''red''' in the titles? Also, the odd-numbered games uses some red body parts, while the even-numbered ones merely use synonyms for red. So, [=EOV=]'s battle theme probably will use some body parts that is red. Vein and Flesh are the best bet, but of course, there may be other less-obvious body parts being used :P

Lemme rephrase that...


[[WMG: There are several reasons why there may not be Etrian Odyssey 3 Untold]]
* Reason 1: '''Compared to I and II, Etrian Odyssey 3 has a relatively more well-developed lore and story'''. Thus, an Untold version which adds more expositions feels rather unnecessary. Of course, it's still possible for that to happen.
* Reason 2: '''It's the only game in the series to have MultipleEndings'''. While it is possible for a canon-laden game to still have multiple endings, CuttingOffTheBranches is not always a good idea for a story with well-developed lores. Sure, Atlus' other main series, ShinMegamiTensei, always have multiple endings, but yet their canon is considerably looser compared to Etrian Odyssey. CuttingOffTheBranches would feel somewhat odd for it.
* Reason 3 (spoilerfest): '''The events in Etrian Odyssey 3's backstory is exceptionally important to the series's backstory as a whole that creating an Untold version of it could possibly dampen its impact for the series as a whole'''. (in a sense, similar to why Konami has yet to make a game that depicts a certain very important event in Castlevania, [[spoiler:namely, Dracula's fall in 1999.]])

Spoilers ahead for actual speculation for reason 3: So we know that Etrian Odyssey verse is set on a world pretty much similar[[spoiler:, if not the exact same one,]] as ours, and there's a certain ancient calamity that befell the world in all four games. Most sources indicate that the calamity is [[spoiler:the world's ecological collapse]].

Exceeeeept... one of the endings in 3 sheds light on the following event: [[spoiler:An alien entity now known as the Abyssal God was fleeing from another entity called Yggdrasil, and both crash-landed from space in what now is Armoroad]]. The visual of this backstory depicts [[spoiler:both crash-landings as akin to asteroid impacts]]. Take into consideration that [[spoiler:in our world, a single asteroid crash was enough to wipe out the dinosaurs]], and thus [[spoiler:this double-impact]] might have been the actual calamity in the series' backstory. Sure, [[spoiler:ecological disasters such as global warming may have been enough to cause such an apocalypse, but asteroid impacts can exacerbate such problems to an enormous degree that the Yggdrasil units, which are made to heal the world, had to be made so aggressive to counter the calamity as quickly and efficiently as possible]]. Besides, taking note that [[spoiler:the one hunting the Abyssal God was called Yggdrasil, and the Deep Ones made by the Abyssal God might have caused quite a problem to the world that people might have looked up at their enemy, Yggdrasil, as a savior or at least ally, there is a possibility that the scientists of old named their world-saving projects as Yggdrasil in honor of this anti-Abyssal God entity]]. And thus, whatever happened in Armoroad was the main trigger of the calamity that befell the entire Etrian Odyssey verse, so most likely this event would be kept in the myth to keep its mystique.
