Short version of current events.
Prophecy said "Fontaine flooded, people dissolved in the water, only archon left crying"
So, to trick Fate, archon split in two. The human part and the god one. Human was the Furina, the god part would be the third picture - let's call her by the god name "Focalores".
Focalores makes Furina pretend to be the archon in order for "Fate" to revolve around her.
This triggers a sequence of events that brings the flood and does indeed leave "Furina crying on her throne"
At the same time the archon devises a way to kill herself and return the ownership of the "Hydro" powers to someone else
That someone uses the powers to cleanse the people "sin" and make them not dissolve (she could not do the same because that was her punishment)
That way the prophecy technically happens but everyone is saved.
There is some weird details after that.
Could be just "story/gameplay" segregation but...
The playable Furina can still switch between two forms. The black one, defined as Ousia and the white one defined as Pneuma.
Notice that the white one has different longer hair.
Notice: Ousia and Pneuma are actual real life concepts. Wonder what? Ousia is associated to "body" while Pneuma is actually "spirit".
Ousia Furina summons three pokemons.
Those are characters in a book she read. Remember this book for now, more later...
But Pneuma Furina summons something else.
The "Singer of Many Water".
An oceanid like creature wearing an hat that looks like hers. Coincidentally in a way oceanid are the "souls" of dissolved people from Fontaine.
What is odd is that the Singer is not a character in the book. Nor does the game ever explain her origin. She just... exist. And even Furina does not talk about her in any quest (so far)
As for the hair, archon usually have "glowing" hair. Playable Furina hair do not glow, since she always was a fake archon. But some pointed out they seem to glow in a very specific place. The Opera House - where the "god" part died.
The Statue of the Seven still stands too, despite the archon should be dead and the throne "broken"
Again, just them being lazy and don't want to update the model? Very odd.
We are talking of the same devs that add a barely audible Furina crying less than 1% of the players would notice in that fountain I mentioned before, or a "World, forget me" whisper near the statues in Sumeru... They are very dense with details most don't even notice.
Last odd thing... do you remember the book I mentioned?
> Furina once found a relatively unknown book in a library of Fontaine, and the story's main character was a servant working in an opulent mansion.
The idealistic young Mademoiselle Crabaletta, following a newspaper advertisement, came to a remote manor in the mountains to apply for employment, and despite her clumsiness, became a maid there all the same.
The Master of said mansion did not appear often, and though his loquacious surintendante and etiquette-minded gentilhomme managed it in his absence, she led a carefree life there.
Furina finds a book no one else even know existed.
That book is about a girl serving for a master in a big house, pretending to live an happy life. Only to find the master dead later.
> In her dream, she was Crabaletta, huffing and puffing as she ran to that door of secrets, and, with one deep breath, pushed it open.
Behind it was a torrent of seawater that drowned the mansion in an instant, dissolving all in its wake — the Gardes, the surintendante of the house, the gentilhomme, and even herself.
Furina DREAMS to be Crabaletta (the character living as a servant to a master already dead). Opens a door and finds a flood that dissolves everyone
> Crabaletta made use of the time loop triggered by opening the door to solve the mystery of the Master's death and discover the mansion's secret, freeing all its inhabitants from an ancient curse.
Remember Nahida making up a story about a cat to preserve the story of someone who tried to erase themselves?
and now you have a book that is about a story similar to Furina's. That mentions time travel and appears before the actual story it seems based on.
And do you know what Nahida specialty also is?
If you guessed dreams you guessed right.
either this is all just coincidences or they are getting ready for some mind breaking bomb.
Alas, randomly found this and I love it.
