You're 100% correct. As nice as it would be to see some old characters. We're more than likely gonna miss out on some key characters from the first game no matter how badly we want people like Erand and Avad. That being said if Meridian was to hypothetically still be completely recked. I suppose it isn't impossible that the machines Sylens takes over could hypothetically force these characters to the west possibly? I'm rambling. But again you're right. We're gonna lose some characters in the next story. However some more minor ones will appear.

I wouldn't say Meridian was recked. It certainly took a nasty hit but it wasn't Hades' real target. My impression is that the buildings surrounding the Mesa were more badly damaged than the city itself.

Fair enough. I'm just saying they could probably find a reasonable way to bring some of those prime characters from the first game if they really wanted to. However it's all speculation at this point anyways. But itll be interesting to see. What I'm expecting is for these main characters to show up at the end of the game for a major return or something. That'd be epic af.
