What if the roles were reversed? What if things played out completely different to what we know? What if Jade was the 'mastermind' against Auldrant for reasons his own? What if Luke straddled the lines between duty and what's right as Asch had done? But what if he chose to stand by Jade instead of aid the others? Just what if?

Let's have a good discussion on how you think things would be different if our favorite team of heroes became the team of villains and vice versa. Have fun.

Anise would fight Arietta with an army of dolls!

Evil would win... for once which would be cool as the evil side would be super powerful.

That would actually be pretty damn cool. I'd love to see miniature Tokunagas but then again Anise wouldn't even have Tokunaga as it was Dist who built it for her.

And I have to agree with you Sargent. I doubt there would be anyone with the intellect and the power to stop them. Jade would probably prepare for every possible outcome and have a way to gain advantage even if the 'good guys' get some victories. Mix that in with everyone letting loose as far as their skills are concerned. Could you imagine Guy, with all his fancy swordsmanship just kicking tail without fear of hurting anyone? The world would be doomed.

Actually the world would be free

How so? The roles are reversed aren't they? So wouldn't it be Jade's team trying to make a replica world and Van's trying to save it from that fate?

well the world would be free from the score as Luke through the sore of track and they made a replica world so the score doesn't exist anymore.

I see what you mean but it means that only the new replica world would be free of the Score. The 'originals' would be gone. So would the world truly be free if we're speaking about the people who are currently living in Auldrant pre- Replica world?

Though as I stated, I do know what you mean and if the world is created anew with Replicas it wouldn't really matter as they would only have memories of when they woke up and so forth so only our team of 'Villains' would have knowledge of everything that happened previously.

That's what I mean but what would happen if the replica's actually found out they were replica's somehow?

You bring up an interesting scenario.

Since the originals are dead and they've all replaced them it's not like they could really change anything. Unless they chose to end their lives because of this master scheme/ lie. And if they know that they're just replicas but not who created them they wouldn't get any questions answered.

But what if they found out that the main group were the ones who created them.
As the replicas are bound to catch on as the main group would have to teach them the basics and the replicas could question why only the main group knows anything.

That's a possibility. But whose to say that before the replica world is created that Jade did more experiments so that he could give Replicas whatever memories he wanted? In theory he could create an 'Alpha Replica' who could have the info that's needed in order to aid the other Replicas without leading back to the group. I don't think it's in Jade to not have a Plan B if it can be helped. Not to mention that he could just impart whatever memories the group chooses, for the replicas not to catch on.

Well they could already make the 'Alpha Replica' just that there eye's look like the eye's of the dead but Jade would probably fix that flaw somehow.
But what if the group started to think it was a bad idea as they can see the people they once knew but know it's not them and started to have second thoughts.

It would create a conundrum for them. Because they may want to fix the problem but can't since all the originals would be dead.

Man, there's so many 'what if' scenarios.

Yes there is and here's one:
what if Jade never made fomicry yeah Luke wouldn't exist but it would effect every character in some way but what could be the story then?
