Takahashi says the 10 year lifespan was something prior to Alpha's awakening, there is an unspecified amount of time with the liberators fighting Moebius. But in N and M flashbacks, who were fighting since the beginning, having term marks and stuff the city people in FR said, we know they are used to the cycle for a while. At a certain point, Alpha says enough, he cant be neutral anymore. I suspect but its not confirmed, that Melia's capture was the final nail in the coffin for Ontos to take the decision. That they are all done for, only new life was worth saving. Triggering the events of FR. Now, I WISH we knew more about this period, specially now that we know that Noah found Logos. Takahashi told the events and details of the workings of origin and admins but nor in order, he says after a few sentences that tye 10 year cycle was decided before. The whole interview was conductes like in the go, spoken japanese conversation, so it can be convoluted
It was Riku who named it, and he said the line about important people were inside, which was a mistranslation. Shulk can't be innit because he existed as a person atbthe same time (FR). Reyn was brought up as one of the origin shards we collect according to Takahashi. Riki's bitter is seen in Maktha. "Dunban is in there" you mean " that's Dunban over there!" ? XP I thought about how they all made Monado III in my previous theories, but Takahashi has officially said otherwise. Its about Fiora, who wielded a Monado (Meyneth's) hence Alvis recognizes her as having admin rights, just like Logos is in N's sword and has admin rights, a trinity processor and wielder lf a Monado. Origin brims of wills of those who are as unto gods" Z
