>Also, it was clear a lot of plot points weren't very fleshed out, the thing about pollution was obviously going to be a bigger factor in the narrative that they didn't have time to finish.
I don't see anything in particular that could tie that into anything other than the Atonement end which it already ties to.
>I think the memory loss thing was also a last minute addition
That one goes back to the preview build which took place before the mindwipe, when Akari was an upbeat flashy young lady type foreshadowing Clara. The devlogs say the original plan was to have the demo be before and the main game after the insurrection/mindwipe, so the main game would have been the same regardless. What was cut for time constraints was the plan for the demo, which iirc was going to have a completely different gameplay orientation where feeding served to keep people alive so that day 1 of the full game would still hit with a wham.
>but she still supposedly knew who Rin was
She was busy spending an entire week fighting against drowning inside of Saeko's vagina for trying to lead an insurrection. Why do you think her hair was damp, so she needed water to wash off all the wetness covering her before that dampness could dry. All the references to her vaginal adventures fly over normalfag heads but come on man.
