Assuming this is true, then that would mean that Flameheart broke free of this manipulation and is actively fighting to see the sea of thieves liberated from Ramsey, although it seems he’d rather control it himself

“a dishonest man you can always trust to be dishonest. Honestly. It's the honest ones you want to watch out for, because you can never predict when they're going to do something incredibly... stupid.” -jack sparrow

If this is the case (amazing theory btw) I feel like the Sea of Thieves is more likely to be a collective manifestation. Considering the Pirate Lord has enemies like Flameheart, who appear to be actual people, as well as the player who is definitely a real person, it would make a lot of sense for us all to collectively be manifesting our own adventures, so the Pirate Lord isn't singlehandedly responsible for everything. Still, his will, memory and understanding are stronger than anyone else's, which gives him much more power than the average joe. Not to mention, his entire faction which upholds his beliefs, to create a more wholesome environment than I would imagine a more brutal pirate might manifest (Flameheart).

Only issue here is that all the people are real, they’re very specific about that in the tall tale, how LeChuck actually filled the island with the real population of the real melee island- Only the landscape was made up

I missed this type of videos, Epic Music with an Epic Theory and an Epic Narrator. It gives feels 👍😊

I was wondering why this took a moodier turn than most Falcore videos, and then the ending. Beautiful.

Man the ori sails and figure head are always on mybship Go great with the rest being that one with all the star maps on it thay releced recently

Why does everyone want to make the Pirate Lord the bad guy? Have we just been trained to expect these kind of twists in our stories? Can’t anyone just be good?

Veeery interesting. This would definitely be a big dilemma among those in the Sea of Thieves. I imagine Flameheart could share this secret upon his resurrection, and cause mayhem with just a few words. If the Sea of Thieves is indeed the creation of the Pirate Lord's memories, so real that even he can't fully comprehend it, would that mean that us, the people who were seemingly invited here, are just his creations as well? Would it mean Flameheart and the Reapers are more correct than we thought? This would have some seriously fun lore implications if correct. However, a few things do go against this. Not to disprove it or anything because, of course, this is speculation. But if the Pirate Lord requires our help when his vision of the Sea of Thieves is under threat, then where was he during the Pirate's Life tall tale events? Davy Jones sought to control the Sea of the Damned himself, and thus choosing who lives and who dies. He'd have total control of pretty much everything if that were to happen. And yet Ramsay was nowhere to be seen? Too much happened during those events for him to just stay quiet and never mention. We see Pendragon and other ghost captains appear, yes, but they could've easily been acting of their own accord. Pendragon could've simply rallied them himself after having met with Jack. I dunno, I'm just venting my thoughts.

This is great stuff!! And I also appreciate the ending too 😂💯

That's what I love about the Loremasters of different videogames. Always the observing types who notice things we might not. 😎 And it makes so much sense I got goosebumps for a few seconds there. We are the Piratelords dreamed up creations. Funny how I always imagine to doublecross him at the first opportunity where I favour the Reapers tho. 😏 I wonder if that means he wants a rebellious mind in his SoThieves to keep it... interesting. 🤗

Happy Birthday, Falcore! Also, smashing video. 🍻

Yooooo, how do you even come up with these man, this is insane. Youre awesome, keep it up

Happy Birthday Matey!!!

I love your speculation videos! You had me on the edge of my seat the entire time

Make a video like this but with Flameheart we need to see both Sides!

Now... This is an unexpected theory. If this is true, Rare has played the 4D chess here (it isn't). Also, can I have a tinfoil hat Falcore? I'm sure you have a lot considering this video.

Maybe the good old saying "never trust a pirate outside of your crew” can be applied to npcs as well 🤔

really good vid :o though it sorta flies in the face of certain lore and the books of course. I do like the whole Sea of Memories stuff though when it comes to ghosts/phantoms. People say the difference between the two is that ghosts 'have a soul', but SoT never fielded many religious ideas

Oh, what I had been missing thies types of videos, love these theories

This is such an epic theory. I love it! It would explain so much. The SoT could reflect his state of sanity. Should the nightmare called Flameheart take over, would Ramsey lose his mind? What would that mean for the seas? It also explains all the disjointed storylines, plotholes and open ends. There could be gaps in his memories, they could even have changed over the centuries (or manipulated?). Perhaps he can’t distinguish dream from memory. This would turn the whole game into philosophy. Are we all just figments of his imagination, fighting for him to maintain his sanity? Is he in a hospital somewhere, in a coma, and SoT plays in his head?

Amazing like always

if the sea of thieves itself is influenced by the will of ramsey and (we could assume) the player (since they can either choose to side with the pirate lord or with flameheart), that explains how we have a direct impact on the story when we have voting adventures

i always thought The Cap'n was gonna be Ramseys Remains and The Pirate Lord, his Soul. This vibes with that so well.

Flame Heart is The Pirate Lord. He is battling himself, the memories of who he once was.

Ramsey was Murdered when you see the pirate lord during the monkey Island tall tales pay attention to his back he has 3 or 4 swords in his back indicating that he was murdered in his past life which I'm sure the same could be said for flameheart as well

Love the video! My only thought is that if this is his memories, and he knows it, then when not just forget about the threats to "his seas".

0:01 best ship sails hands down imo

I feel like this is gunnu be one of those things, where this is not what the devs had planned AT ALL, then become aware of this theory, and go '....yea fuck it, that's a good idea' and quietly make it canon xD

You should do a video with game theory for the SoT Would be awesome

Ramsey's actually just sitting in a corner somewhere staring blankly at an island themed snowglobe.

The battle for golden sands propaganda never really ended did it lmao 😂

Top quality video!

I knew I recognized the music at 4:20! MAY CHAOS TAKE THE WORLD!

hoooooold up. i barely even started the video- IS THAT AN ORI THEMED MELODY I HEAR???

I know this is an unpopular opinion but I hope for more crossovers in the future. Literally Pirate's Life is what taught us fully what the Sea of the Damned is, and as you brought out, Monkey's Island showed us another layer of this other world. I'm not against SoT becoming a platform for all pirate IPs to merge and become one big pirate sandbox. Gimme One Piece and Peter Pan pls. Anyway, yeah Pirate's Life gave us in game activity from Cap'n and we still haven't revealed who he is. Flameheart's still not resurrected and we have yet to see what comes of Hogarth being the new Gold Hoarder. We don't know what became of DeMarco and what Lesedi will do next. The next adventure HAS to be in line with Briggsy's storyline to explain the siren skull event. There's a lot of hype things coming, they just made us wait a long time for all of them 😢

A very cool speculation but I wonder 🤔 how would we explain the the Reapers and Flameheart and all they have done. Or choosing to be a cursed skeleton ?? 💀 just wondering 🤔

So good!❤😂

This would also mean that the random pirate generator is just picking a memory of an old pirate from his memory. Also the appear like ghosts and disappear the same way like the sea of the dammed.

That ending tho😆

hehe sailing season 10 this weekend for my birthday also - have a happy one!

Rare is taking notes

We're all flame hazes in Ramsay's immortal delusion

U r so fuking good with this videos man

Okay so that leaves me with a question from your theory and that is why is are we apart of his memories or are we people that basically got kidnapped and brainwashed into being pirates?

I have few words but back up the pirate lord; Nuh uh

the lore is soo good why dont they expand on it?

well done sir!

So that either means that flameheart is the good guy trying to free us from a “matrix” of sorts or the sea of thieves is just a sick puppet game played by Ramsey from what I understand

this is practically a rare marketing channel at this point.

the two Ori game being games that were burned with red hot iron onto my heart, i wish deeply that we would get an Ori shanty with the instruments...

This only raises questions about the Ferryman.

Athena and Reapers both are equaly evil GOLD HOARDERS FOR LIFE BABY

Wow, that's dark..

Pirate Lord is the biggest villain in SoT and you can't convince me otherwise.

Thanks! NO SLEEP FOR ME TONIGHT

YEAH MORE LORE!!!!

I feel this is highly unlikely but would be exstremely cool and intresting

I have said it before. The actual Sea Of Thieves is very small and very cramped. In it's ealier interations it was a horrendous place of murder of new bloods at a stupendous and ruinous rate. You can't get out. Ramsey won't let you out. You can't even DIE to escape. Is this the Sea Of Thieves Ramsey sells to us? He holds the keys. He is a warden. He is the servant of the Grand Mechant Alliance he was fleeing. He mentions them in the tutorial. We never hear of them again. Why? Because the Sea of Thieves is an old school Penal Colony, and Ramsey is the warden who holds the keys. And that Grand Merchant Alliance fears Pirates no more. They have all been jailed long ago. And they don't even know it.

I love this theory.

PL Ramsey is the cosmic brain confirmed

I don’t like the reapers cuz they’re sea hoppeans. But if the pirate lord really lives up to the title of lord, then he wasn’t that much of a pirate either.

when the fuck are we going to see flameheart in the flesh like enough is enough we need to forget the sidequest and need to return to main story

huh, neat! mind blown cap'n

that would mean that athenas blessing or the ghost curse isnt us becoming ghosts but rather showing us our true form of a memory like in the sea of the dammed

Omg no way!!!! I love Ori!!!!

The pirate lord was our dad the whole time.

So that means Flameheart is just the "hero" trying to liberate the Pirate Lord from his self imposed illusion? And The Pirate Lord is just some dream master that is trying to perpetuate his lucid dream (using us) for all eternity? Wild.

EXCELLENT THEORY FROM THE CAPTAIN

Emporio Ivankov been real quite since this theory dropped

So he's a politician

This was very good theory, but something is wrong in The Sea of Thieves and Pirate lord... We know, but still i believe in good and be in Athena's Fortune crew!!! and maybe believe to the Dark mystery and history of The Pirate Lord... "We shall sail together" (+ good video more like these! Thank you!)

How would safer seas fit into this?

SPOLER WARNING: for those working on the curses and haven't seen the curse ceremonies, DO NOT WATCH THE END.

I wish they let us keep the costumes from the tall tales.

So thats why we can't make a custom pirate, we are choosing someone to be. 😂

You have made MatPat proud today. This is a Game Theory level of speculation :D

Here we go...another conspiracy theory about the pirate lord lol

I think this could be true, only question is, once we defeat the pirate lord, does the game end? do we go to the real sea of thieves just without Athena's fortune? do we just, leave to plunder the real world (SoT 2?)?

Me waiting for him to say hey you beautiful buccaneers. 😢

Maybe the pirate lord is the true villain and flameheart actually the hero. PS: Nice Vid

Falcore has gone insane😢

Hey thar was queenofshebascat getting the blessing of athenas fortune

Assuming this is true, i have looooooot of explanation to do to the reapers....😰

So it's Inceptiom, we are in a "dream", inside a "dream", etc.

Welp now I choose flameheart for good

sometimes I wonder if falcore knows more than rare about theyre own game xDD

Nice vid bro1111

ive said it since day 1 - I've always thought the Pirate lord was evil, Ive never trusted him, and ive hated for so long that the game has forced us to help him, i think since day 1 it should have been a power struggle between flameheart and ramsey.

so the reaper's are the good guys after all?

So your tellin me its all one big scizo meltdown

I was on the side of Atenas fourteen but I now support flameheart

The PL can't be that old as his kids aren't unless he Scarlett witched them into existence hence why he was annoyed Demarco didn't take his mantel and also why he was targeted with imposters to destroy his imagination

great speculation but its missing a fart joke or two

he's playing with our minds. we are pawns in his game. that's a crazy theory! we've been lied to all this time...

Ok but can we talk about how the game is going to end

Good theory, but i don't know if i want that to be real.

BUT HEY! THATS JUST A…speculation…a sea of thieves specific speculation

Cool
