[[WMG: Jihl will ''not'' be fully revived, but Hanna will be given a new gameplay role.]]
* There's an argument to be made that he's already fulfilled his purpose in this game, and given that it took the full completion of the Belenos and his HeroicSacrifice ''combined'' to allow Hanna to be brought back to life, it can be said that bringing him back would nullify the impact of said sacrifice. It's possible that he'll instead act as a subconsciousness of sorts to Hanna, with her able to communicate with him at certain points, and gaining access to more of his abilities as a hybrid as the game goes on. In contrast to how Malt's Leadership Skills are meant to impact the moment-to-moment flow of battles, Hanna's new abilities may instead cause the Taranis ''itself'' to change or transform, such as having it gain new armaments or movement options to allow for there to be different ''types'' of battles themselves. Considering Hanna's reputation among the ''Fuga'' community for being rather boring and flat compared to all the other kids, giving her this may help to highlight what her strengths ''and'' her weaknesses are, giving her a character arc to go through just like Malt did in this game. In essence, Malt would be the "captain" of the Taranis who makes strategic decisions for the crew in battle, whereas Hanna would be the "quartermaster" responsible for the functioning and organization of the Taranis.

* The overall {{tagline}} for the series in Japan is "War x Vengeance x Kemono". The first game was a straightforward war story. The second game was about Malt and the antagonists' different desires for vengeance. Hence, the third game may focus on, say, the connections and relationships between the Caninu and Felineko, especially given the FantasticRacism that still exists within the Berman Empire. The job of Malt and the gang is to help the different peoples of Berman join up and overcome the Kaiser and other oppressive forces.

This could mean that Hanna's father is a Hybrid as well who left or died before Hanna was born. If so, ''Fuga 3'' may be bring us to a point where Hanna unlocks her Trance form (possibly with help from Jihl) with that transformation affecting gameplay to some extent.

[[WMG:The Berman Empire will be the setting of ''Fuga 3''.]]
* The first game involved traveling across the single continent of Gasco, with locations having been affected by the Berman Army's influence. The second game involved traveling across the shattered Gasco, with locations being more peaceful and gaining some elements of their far-future ''Solatorobo'' counterparts, along with there being further exploration into Crusade's technology as well as the facilities they left behind. It's likely that to differentiate the third game's settings from the rest, ''Fuga 3'' will involve the kids coming to the Berman Empire to deal with the next threat directly, especially given the previous implications that Emperor Leber Kaiser will have a bigger role to play.
[[WMG:The Berman Empire is dealing with a civil war that's making its way to Gasco.]]
* Between the ''humiliating'' military defeat of the Gasco Invasion, both Gasco and Berman having stronger and stronger diplomatic ties over the course of the following year, and the beloved "Lost God" being blasted to bits ''twice'' and nearly being used to destroy the Berman Empire itself, it's definitely likely that patriotism in Berman has waned over the course of the first two games. That said, there are many implications that the Berman leader, Emperor Leber Kaiser, is responsible for perpetuating many of Berman's fascistic traits, and it's likely that the events of the past year have therefore ''pissed him the hell off'', meaning that it's liable that he'll be wishing to retaliate against Gasco in a wrathful attempt to restore his nation's pride. However, AI Hax has claimed that there's little chance of the two nations' peace being broken, so there may be a faction of Bermans rebelling against the Emperor for his attempt to restart the war-- the faction that Malt and friends are likely going to be siding with at some point, at the risk of directly breaking the peace between the two nations once again.

[[WMG: The Taranis will receive a new upgraded form right from the start of the third game.]]
* The Exo-Taranis allowed for a best-of-both-worlds scenario: the Soul Cannon as usual encourages the player to get better at the game and take things seriously (although its specific method of implementation has been mixed among players), and the Managarm's inclusion has been well-received as a way for the player to get through in a pinch without the consequences attached to it being too damning or permanent. However, the GoldenEnding of the second game has the Tarascus' core converted into energy for the Soul Cannon, taking the Managarm with it, and reverting the Exo-Taranis back into the original Taranis with just the Soul Cannon grafted to it. It's possible that the Taranis will receive yet another upgrade early on in the third game with a new giant gun attached to it, as a replacement for the Managarm gameplay-wise. Story-wise, the previous power sources of the Taranis have also been extinguished-- the original "life force" of the tank that kept Jeanne "functioning as an AI" was used to defeat the original Hax in the first game, and the core of the Vanargand was used up to defeat Cayenne in this one-- and there are no more hybrids like Jihl that could be used to command the tank through their extrasensory abilities, meaning that ''how'' the Taranis will receive said upgrade is still unknown.

* Maestro will turn out to be the avatar of the hyper information convergence that Crusade attempted to build, in the similar way to how Yurlungur was the emissary and mouthpiece of Juno in front of humanity, and the final entry in the second game's files is written by him. With his physical "body" housed on the Moon, he is behind the events of all three games, including Jeanne's awakening and the war she caused (and providing her with computational abilities she used to run her predictions for the first game), leaking the locations of Crusade temples to Cayenne so he could enact his revenge scheme, as well as whatever is going on in the third one. Having grown disillusioned with humanity and the mission bestowed upon him by Crusade, he now acts out of self-interest and desire for control. In the past, he deliberately failed in his mission to counterbalance Juno influence so that humanity could wipe itself out, and in the present he wants to erase all traces of the Juno legacy - including both the Titano-Machina and Caninu and Felineko races - so he could have the world all to himself and restore it "right". He's been watching over Malt and grooming him into the enforcer of his will like he already did with his brother, probably because of him being the best candidate for it according to his calculations.

Such a character would not take the defeat of his country and the signing of a peace treaty on the terms of the country whose land was sundered yet it still repelles his invasion lying down, and in the third game he will find yet more pieces of the LostTechnology to personally enact his revenge.
[[WMG: Hanna will become the third game's MissionControl.]]
* Following the vanishing of Jeanne [[spoiler:and the AI Hax]] there are no other known AIs left who could operate playable tanks. Hanna, however, after [[spoiler:spending some time as a VirtualGhost inside the Belenos systems and later restored from it]] will gain some minor Technopath abilities that will allow her to interface with the machinery, fullfilling the support functions, while the remaining twelve kids will still be controllable playable characters.
[[WMG: The third game will see us developing support abilities for Hanna similar to Malt's]]
* Following up on the above WMG, instead of Malt gaining new leader abilities it will be Hanna developing her new powers as MissionControl, either in addition to Malt or in his stead.
[[WMG: The third game will prominently feature [[VideoGame/SolatoroboRedTheHunter Lares]] ]]
* Elh mentioned that the Paladins had been suppressing Lares for centuries, and the third game will show how Lares would've activated for the first time and remained a persistent threat up until ''Solatorobo''.

[[WMG: Malt's brother will be revealed to be a ChildishOlderSibling.]]
* Giving some justification to Malt frequently spouting how he's the oldest, Malt's brother may have someone who was more laidback and comparatively less emotionally mature or responsible compared to Malt, to a point where by the time Malt was born and proven the more responsible sibling in comparison, Malt's brother may have found himself more aware of his own shortcomings and insecure about himself as a result. Malt's brother may have encouraged Malt to make the claim that the latter is actually the oldest because Malt's brother felt he deserved the respect that went with that title.

* This customizable avatar can be a child who's either Caninu or Felinko and may either be given an androgynous appearance to allow for GenderInclusiveWriting or the player may be given the option to make them look more masculine or feminine to their liking. The game will start with the avatar finding a SuperPrototype of the Taranis and being forced to board it by whatever causes the conflict in the third game's story. Gradually, avatar will chance upon the Taranis Crew, with the kids inviting themselves aboard the "Proto-Taranis" so they can mentor the avatar on how to use it to its full potential and assist them in what plight they have to deal with.

The kids may fear the avatar [[HereWeGoAgain may be driven to vengeance like some of them were in previous games]] which may put a riff between the avatar and their companions initially, but with CharacterDevelopment the avatar may cool off on that idea or communicate that they're actually interested in seeking [[ForGreatJustice justice, not vengeance.]]

* Given how this trilogy's CentralTheme is about the unhealthy pursuit of vengeance and that the teaser shows the Berman Army marching, relatives of Berman soldiers that our protagonists killed in and people that the children failed to save will seek out our protagonists for payback when hearing about the armistice and peace treaty. Each child will be a ShadowArchetype of the original dozen. Expect NeverMyFault to be used a lot.
