Despite being a game that can easily surpass the 150-hour mark, Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave leaves many questions unanswered in its ending. After it was revealed that four routes had been cut out during the development process in a recent Ask the Developer interview, one possibility is that these stories will become DLCs in the future — and that those expansions will answer some lingering questions. While we still don't know if any of this is happening, of course, I believe the ending of Fortune’s Weave suggests one clear thing: that Sothis is coming back — and maybe in more than one way.

Sothis has many names, and ever since she was introduced in Fortune’s Weave’s predecessor, 2019’s Fire Emblem: Three Houses, we know that she's not only the strongest character in the game's universe but also one of the most mysterious. Although her origin as an alien from outside the planet is not new, we don't actually know why she left her planet (the "Blue Sea star") and what happened when she arrived, nor do we know exactly what she actually is.

Her story has been slowly told. In Three Houses , we see Sothis's current state in the Fire Emblem universe as having lost her material body and living inside Byleth. Fortune's Weave takes us before that, letting us see a moment when she was still alive, but sleeping, working as a looming force that can erase a whole civilization from history. We haven't, however, seen the beginning of her story, but Fortune's Weave 's post-credit scene seems to indicate that we might be about to.
