I checked out the Legacy Collection manuals through videos online.

It’s interesting that they keep trying to sell that X is a pacifist throughout the early sections related to early games, but his actions in-game don’t support it - which of course leaves a big interesting hole to exploit for fanfic. Gradually, that language fades from his descriptions as they get terser, which is also interesting.

This is Sigma’s entry - there’s only one after this and it’s a shorter retread of this text.

Perhaps. One day. Suddenly. It’s the same noncommittal wording as we’ve been seeing everywhere else. Sigh. There’s nothing new here.
Also I find it quite curious that the things we KNOW are true - like his encounter with Wily (as a ghost? viral manifestation? ELF like a Light Capsule??) he speaks of in X5 - are still not spoken of. Nor is there any mention of his having received the Virus from Zero, which is the true reason for his ’sudden’ ’perhaps’ change. Half the game’s actual plot is buried in scattered flashbacks, vague hints in conversations, and other such miscellaneous scraps.

We really need a game from Sigma’s POV. Start to finish. Going at least through the first five uprisings. We got Vile Mode, they can do a Sigma Mode run too. Imagine: starting out as a new, young Reploid, full of promise, gradually falling into darkness by a combination of experience and outside manipulation. Wouldn’t that be a delicious tragedy to behold.

I wonder if it was ‘convenient’ to Sigma to let himself be played so hard by the ghost of a dead man from 100+ years ago to enact an unfinished vendetta. I wonder if he had the self-awareness to realize that’s what basically happened to him. Becoming another man’s pawn hardly seems like the independence Reploids seek to gain.

At least Lumine brought it back around to Reploids attempting to enact their own wills instead.
