Suggestion on how to describe the story
So, it should be obvious to anyone who saw the game, that describing its story is not a trivial task because it is highly intended for you to experience it the way it is presented. However, if someone just wants to know without doing so or wants a reminder or clarification of some particular part, this should be useful. My suggestion is this: use 2 ways to describe it from start to finish: "objective" and "subjective". The objective way would be writing straight facts of chronology from the point of view of all-knowing narrator or historian. This could be made as a single dedicated page. To do so I recommend keep game's post-game Event Archive open in "all" view. This should describe all scientific concepts that are used and referenced by mentioning and linking to appropriate wiki pages, such as Project Ark being straight-up "replicating seeder ships" and kaiju being "berserkers" (but only in-simulation kaiju and not real-life terraforming & colony-building machinery, even though it's also self-replicating). Also it should include mentions and/or description of overall themes and shared plot devices. The subjective way is writing a collection of stories for each main character (not just protagonist but all listed in Event Archive and maybe some that aren't). This could be done in as a whole in Remembrance or each character's page individually. For that it's good to have this character's story open in the Event Archive. This should be written as it is presented in the game: strictly from character's point of view at every moment, as if you were describing their though-cloud yourself but shorter or were them writing their own autobiography from 3rd person. This should include description for all fictional references in each story and usage of plot devices and player's expectations. Both should heavily reference Mystery Files which should have complete rip-dump page here with annotations for clarifications on their parts. And also Kamitani interviews. Maybe also prominent analysis of some fans. 08:07, 16 February 2021 (UTC)
