Wait a sec, is Fake Tezkhra the same one that Reconstruction's encyclopedia was really referring to in its Tezkhra entry? If so, that is a hell of an example of good foreshadowing.

Uh, I don't think so. Fake Tezkhra claims to be a reincarnation of the mythological Tezkhra. ...You should probably play I Miss the Sunrise if you haven't already, it clears up a lot of stuff on this topic.

I'm not so sure about this entry:

The character listed doesn't really seem like a Big Bad. They are the Final Boss, sure, but they don't actually do much other than sit around and wait for Tezkhra to fight them. They don't actually do anything villainous or menacing. Honestly, I'd say that the game has No Antagonist.

Hmm, good point. I'll remove it, but do you think the character would count as a True Final Boss?

Oh, possibly. Does True Final Boss count if there's no regular Final Boss in the first place, though?

Er...after some thinking, I think I may have overreacted in my Downer Beginning entry. Theo seems like he's well off following the disbanding, and of the old characters shown, Yfus is the only one who seems broken, traumatized and angsty by the events of the first game and its outcome.

Should I remove the entry, or at least reword it?

Perhaps. Honestly, I took it to be an overall hopeful message. It's still After the End, but society is rebuilding. "The world is still barren" is probably an overstatement. And yeah, Yfus is really the only one who's been messed up by the disbanding. The other characters seem to be okay with it.

Should we remove spoiler tags from mentions of the first four secret characters? It's kind of awkward to blanket an entry in spoilers just for mentioning them, and it usually results in a Self Fulfilling Spoiler anyway. Also, the Interface Spoiler entry shows that they're not that secret anyway.
