There's a digital conference on September 23rd. We'll be able to ask CC Corp questions about the game and its anomalies.

How clearly they'll answer, I don't know. But it may be worthwhile to pool together everyone's observations, speculations, and complaints here. Different people have seen different things in Fragment, and not a lot of that information is consolidated.

If you've commented on the forums with your observations before, or seen a worthwhile comment, then you can re-link it.

For example, on the topic of the level cap armor:
• UTA's post (in-game NPCs' warning against using it)
• Zelkova's response (indicating the armor was not an intended feature, nor are titles)
• UTA's comment (in-game NPCs claiming only two individuals can "create things")

If you want to talk about something offline for whatever reason, DM me. I don't really mind sharing my number or email.

I'll need a moment to think over this, to suggest something more concrete - however: if we accept that the censored word in the Cathedral description is "Cursed Wave" based off the number of characters present, could we possibly match up the names of NPCs or locations we know to the number of characters censored in the poem?

For example:

Riding the wake is ██████, the Shadow of Death, to drown all that stands.

If we accept this theory as a potential Rosetta stone, then ██████ must be a name/term/location comprised of six characters; "Mirage of Deceit, █████," must be a term of five characters, and so on.

I say a "potential" Rosetta Stone because there's nothing confirming my suggestion about the Cathedral is correct, and it may simply be coincidental the character lengths matched. However, if true - this may help us identify relevant terms in the future, as we learn more lore.

I wonder if the NPCs in Naval Monte, or the remaining Sprites in the nameless Root Town, may be able to identify any of these terms. Naval Monte is "cursed," right? And this poem concerns a "Cursed Wave." The connection is tenuous, but maybe not completely irrelevant. Lore of other locations may teach us indirectly about the lore related to this poem.
