Wait, is that like an lore thing or is it chronologically speaking? Because if it's the later then Advance 3 came out a year before Shadow the Hedgehog. And it's weird that Battle is suppose to be after Shadow since Battle was released a whole two years prior to it, but then again series like God of War follow a similar beat to Sonic so that makes sense
Chronologically
Likely Modern Era seeing as it has Orbot and Cubot.
No, Ian clarified that, "sometime" can be anywhen after advance 3
So I see
Sometimes I wish SEGA would just sit down and give us a concise timeline which explains how much time passes between each game in the series since, especially in the Modern Era, they have a tendency to be so closely intertwined that it's almost as if they're weeks apart from one another. Which, to be fair, does cause me to have this headcanon belief that Eggman's just got an ass load of plans on standby in case one of them fails...the man's dedicated to evil I'll give him that.
According to Ian, they are working on that and that is why he can't say anything about "When X takes place exactly" because that would allow us to fill the timeline on our own when they want the official result to be shown all at once.
AFAIK, Sonic needed multiple portals to travel across the palace, so this wouldn´t scale to his physical
Dangit ;c
"As far as i know"
Ah, Thanks for telling me
The portals don’t actually help him cross the corridor, which is the infinite part. They just take him into the astral plane to fix some walls
He didn't knew about the shatterverse when he said that
Doesn’t he send Rusty to another space pretty soon after?
alot of people on twitter are also bothered,but it is more because of the design
yeah, after he learned of it by Nine
i guess that it is more to confirm that it happens "after the adventure/green eyes era/in the modern era", altho i think the "confirmation" Ian spoke of is the ending where the shatterspace refused itself back into Sonic's reality, thus it "can take place anywhere in the modern era" as it came back to the beginning anyway
Tbf we also have the WOG statement of the shatterverse being a "new multiverse"
Yes and no. It seems like the completion of the Paradox Prism when Sonic gave up his energy acted as a "tether" of sorts to the old universe, and there was a temporary period where six shatterspaces existed (Ghost Hill being the OG world, hence the white gateway that slowly turned green as Sonic got closer).
From what Ian said of it being "undone" i imagine that the energy more or less just "de shattered" the universe back into 1, as the act of destroying the prism broke it into the shatterspaces
Sonic gave his prismatic energy that he absorbed after breaking the paradox prism, in order to complete the prism, but it ended up almost disappearing because that energy kept it together and it would fragment.
