* Well, it's after Automata, all right. The main setting is actually within the human server on the moon, though, not on Earth.
Added DiffLines:
** Confirmed for Rion and Yudil being featured. Yudil's scarecrow focuses more on him learning that the princess and the fortune teller are one and the same, so Sarafa features indirectly. (Lars also cameos, but his role doesn't amount to much.)
Added DiffLines:
** See below entry.
Added DiffLines:
** The focus characters are initially Griff and Yurie, but Marie, 063y, and F66x also show up. Marie and Yurie, as well as 063y and F66x, get some character resolution.
Added DiffLines:
** Jossed so far. The Cage is the human server on the moon, and 10H seems too nice to give Carrier powers.

So, following the tradition of ''Drakengard'' and ''Nier'' series, there will be a total of five story Arcs/Branches/Endings.

We see in Yuzuki's first flashback that [[spoiler: at one point, he did have a sibling whose silhouette appears vaguely female.]] Given how close Hina is to her father, and how close Yuzuki is to his mother, it's possible that the circumstances leading to their parents' divorce led to each parent gaining custody of the other. As for the discrepancy in family name - since Yuzuki lives with his mother, perhaps he took on her maiden name in place of his father's family name, especially since [[spoiler: it is implied his father was physically abusive towards his mother.]]

From Arc 1 and 2, we got a total of 20 Memory Characters. While there are five 1H Sword users, the other weapon users each have three Memory Characters. So in Arc 3, there will be ten new characters: two Spear users, two 2H Sword users, two Staff users, two Gun users and two Fists users. And right now, there are currently eleven female characters and nine male characters, so we might be expecting about four new female characters and six new male characters in the future.

[[WMG:The People and the World possible scenarios/alternate selves]]
So far, Fio, Noelle, Argo, Akeha, Saryu, and Priyet have been featured in the third arc.
* Rion, Yudil & Sarafa - we see Yudil pulling Rion along after Dimos falls, and we can guess Yudil and Sarafa "share" a Scarecrow like Priyet and Saryu did. Rion's alternate self could be a version of him who became as warmongering as his father, while Yudil/Sarafa's could be about their never meeting or one of them killing the other instead of the canonical double murder.
* Lars, Hina & Yuzuki - In his little cameo, Lars talks about being all alone, so we can conclude he hasn't met Griff or anyone else. Hina and Yuzuki are canonically wandering the Cage, so it's possible one/both of them bump into Lars, and the parallels (about family murder, natch) would be interesting to see. Lars' alternate self could be about him never finding out about his biological family, while Hina/Yuzuki's could be about their Dark Weapon stories or a continuation of a Sun/Moon ending where one of them won/lost.
* Lars & Griff - Lars seems to be having a crisis about being alone, so it's a perfect time for Griff to be a surrogate father figure.
* 063y & F66x - Couple time, plus some resolution for how those Character Stories ended.
* ?, Yurie & Marie - With the remarks about "reaching the edge of the Cage", there are probably major lore drops incoming, especially with that character silhouette of the character with a headset. Yurie and Marie are from the furthest-advanced time period, so will be well-equipped to exposit. Gayle, 063y and F66x are familiar enough with technology to understand, and while it's tough to tell with Lars and Griff their time period seems advanced enough that they could at least comprehend the idea of a computer, so any of them could slot in.
* Dimos, [headset silhouette], [other new character] - He's almost definitely not dead, and since the silhouette dropped we are not restricted to existing characters as we were lead to believe.
[[WMG:Lars will be going inside a Scarecrow to escape the Cage]]
We see that not everyone got the "none of you are real and the place where you exist is currently being destroyed by an unknown force that might be the program glitching out" memo, and in his cameo Lars seems quite distressed about being alone. It's not impossible that he might try to skedaddle back into a relevant/convenient Scarecrow, only to kick off the plot of his focus chapter when he brings something out, since it's established that at least people can move out of the Scarecrows they were originally "contained" in, c.f. the Old Man/Boy.
[[WMG:The "absolute being" Carrier got powers from is...]]
* God, who disapproved of Carrier dropping plot details too early.
* Whoever's in charge of the Cage - a lead programmer, perhaps? Possibly (also) Yoko Taro himself.
