>All the references in Akarana have either been entirely removed or changed to no longer explicitly reference anything from SMTI/II.
>The vision of 2020 is now about masks, crowded hospitals, and anxiety and the NPC that talks about XL leaving says Tokyo instead of the Center
>XL also has a vague speech that is completely different to what Tokyo Millennium was like, claiming people accepted God’s rule because of endless wars and a bad economy and that under YHVH everyone is equal but stripped of individuality and property
>the only direct mention of SMT I/II is in the dlc debrief but other than that there is nothing related to the game anymore

It's very strange. The debrief is blatantly SMT II but everything else sounds more like V. They also added a new piece of dialog referencing Raidou being betrayed and going through a rival battle that doesn't sound like anything that has happened yet even in 2. So what does Yamai even mean by this?

Have we settled on whether the new post final boss dialogue about raidou's future is just referencing raidou 2/the manga or if its just an outright raidou 3 sequel hook yet? I really don't feel like it describes any events from 2, but I don't know enough about the manga to make a definitive statement
