Apparently, Lotus/Suu is a girl...

The Black Mage is supposed to be coming out sometime during Tempest.

So Orchid and Lotus will be smaller bosses like Hilla or Von Leon.

Black Mage will be the next boss that it takes 1-2 years to finally take down that requires lots and lots of cubing in order to do enough damage to kill. (Without hacks.) Once they get around to fixing the bugs that is.

I believe this too. Also, Orchid/Lotus might've been killed off early - I'm not sure but I believe DS doesn't get to fight her (Orchid), right?

Since Phantom only deals with Lotus in his story quests, it's pretty logical to say that Orchid died after her encounter with Mercedes - whether by the Elf Queen's hand or the Black Mage's merciless power remains to be seen.


EDIT - Kimicatdemon, I'd like to call you out on something two people said before me.....

"This is a kid's game."

Your use of sexual innuendo here isn't funny and it's not logical.

And pomegranate, if by god glory there exists hentai artists for this game, I may have given them an idea. pomegranate, DESTROY ALL THE EVIDENCE!

EDIT v2 - Okay, my mind was in the gutter for a second - I read the censored word "Peach" as something different. My bad.

But that line of logic assumes that Aria died slowly. It's possible, but the plan is too flawed for it to work. Unless you're suggesting Lotus possessed Aria and choked her that way? That could actually work.

And if we take in that Shinsoo was probably the only one powerful enough to free Aria from Lotus' control, then suddenly Orchid bombarding Shinsoo and Ereve makes sense. They'd be "too powerful" because Shinsoo would be helpless to fight whilst still protecting Aria.
