Disclaimer I know that selling or any other form of sharing of account is illegal nevertheless i have a question

if I want to change the sony account email, because now I am registered on my low level email address, which I use for various registrations, which reduces its security, and somehow I used this email for psn, which was mistake. Psn is valuable library and should be registred on the best email adress with proper security.

That's why I want to move the acc to a more secure email. Both emails are mine, the name and phone number match. Everything is documented, I could prove that both emails are really mine. but I'm afraid that sony will misunderstand something. Is this a normal procedure, maybe some of you have you done that?

I think the first cunami of pointless discussions about the actress, the femalization in sony studios and beauty standards is over. And most importantly many real fans of the franchize will play the new game anyway, it is seen in this subreddit and in other sources too. Probably cultural warriors took the latest flaming hot topic to force their views and agendas.

While the others, well, just loves to play video games. I must admit, I would rather myself to stare to Laras “triangles“ than a tiny facial hair of Alloy or muscles of Abby, but it is total minor nuances in the ocean of gameplay and story plots that the various games deliver despite the character you control. And despite how good Eve from Stellar blade looks, if the gameplay is not my cup of tea, I will not play it just for views.

So side things settled we shall look for the truth, what is really important and hidden in a trailer. You can stumble upon that trailer and see, how masterfully crafted it is, how many details is hidden or shall i said put in the plain sight, for us to discover.

I spent a weekend by listening youtubers, also watching the dev interview and diging my own research trying to scratch a surface of what we have seen and what we should expect.

There is what I found out and present to you for a discussion.

1. the mask is the key, connecting all games into trilogy.
2. 1.1. it seems Laufey is some kind of spinoff but glues to a base games as a third part. It is spinoff in the way it is happening in parallel to events of GOW2018 of course in the Everywhen the time works differently so there will definitely be connection to the Ragnarok too. Also spinoff because you will play as Laufey, i daubt there will be much kratos in the game but he may have his cameo for sure, because the game is being made for 7 years so, the Kratos voice actor was available all the time if needed.
3. 1.2 trilogy in the way of the major scale and plot explanator of previous games. There were so much questions and uncertainty left in current GOW games that Laufey is needed to connect all dots, also to bridge for the future
4. studio aims to create GOW universe, or lets say multiverse. it is from interview. They are expanding franchise so there may be more spinoffs with different characters. They can use universe and created different games for different audiences.
5. Financially franchises are safer for big parent companies so there is much reason about that.
6. About the fkng cube. Cube is so much important that the voice actor is of high tier, also there Alanah Pierce told she worked for this project as a cowriter. And Santa Monica director Cory Barlog was the writer for this character. It means the cube will play the major role.
7. 3.1 personally the cube doesnt fit the visual at all. it distracts me, and i wish it is temporary form. Similar to a ugly creature abomination of witcher 3 i cant spoil it just in case, but the ugly creature was not final form there, so I think the cube also will not be as this for entire game.
8. 3.2 So if we trust Cory in his works, we have a bold wish he had directed story well dogging absurd and woke themes.
9. This spinnof-part III of norse trilogy is biggest game so far.
10. the creative of this game is new/old Ariel. Ariel is women so many casuals connected the Laufey character with her but Ariel is santamonicas veteran and works since the brutal first games. She is back for this new game. Cory put different heads for this trilogy thats why the Ragnarok was being developed immediately after first, as well as Laufey, at least writing took for about 7 years, so it means after 2018 success not one but two games were started.
11. It is obvious that Ragnarök is based on first game, the engine the setting. Just more of everything that we experienced
12. While Laufey is designed for next gen obviously- you can see in gameplay how advanced the visuals are how much smoke debris dirt and other particles. Laufey engine is upgraded version of the previous games (engine is in house, not has names lets say santa monica engine).
13. Simply saying after 2018 was so saucerful it was being said earlier the suits forced studio to make sequel as fast as possible and put everything of what worked just more and fast. Thats why the both games look so familiar sometimes despite ragnork being buffed version of them. Admit 4 years for a major game - is a very short term. But they did it and the game worked well. But side of that the world building bridge game was being created. And was the events in Ragnarok concluded, Atreus has his own journey, we have a unfinished work to build a bridge for future franchise, for different worlds and maybe to explain something.
14. Well I have a feeling Laufey was supposed to be dead and become the ultimate goal.
15. But luckily there is a magical world of Gods so everything is possible, and here we have her again.
16. last part of guesses and what we seen what we can expect in the plot.

-We have seen Gods of Egypt and Budist mythologies. Hard to say if they will play major role for entire game. Isnt Begtse killed in the gameplay trailer? Maybe his death is vengeance arc for the other one- Sekhmet as she would have personal interest to avenge the fallen lover.
-Multiple planets are shown in the horizon meaning the realms, godly worlds of different cultures.
it was a wall made of cubes. Maybe it was coincidence, but the cube wall and one magic cube may be connected.

-Cube is not found clearly in any other mythology it is imagined by devs to connect everything else in this fictional GOW universe.

- ribbons, rue is most likely from chinese mythology they have something about protective treads or ribbons.

Most importantly- the mask.
One very nice theory stated that Laufey was about to destroy mask, the shard stuck in her palm, and thats why she got sick and died.

Imagine how hard is to kill the never aging god or giant, also the one with enormous power? But laufey died you know, thats because the mask is so powerfull. It also echoes to the Odin, losing his eye while looking thorugh a rift and the mask somehow involved into this, so Odin lost his eye. But he is very powerfull God, so to hurt him- it needs incredible power too.

As the cube was named a completely fictional creation of developers.
The mask has connections in the mythology.
However it is not directly in the Norse myths.

But I found this:
Tezcatlipoca’s Obsidian Mirror Mask (Aztec)
This is a BIG one.
Tezcatlipoca (“Smoking Mirror”) wore:
• a mask with a polished obsidian mirror
• used to see all things, including:
the future
the past
the realm of the gods
the realm of the dead
This is the closest mythological match to an all‑knowing mask.

The big telescope is more mayan think but as we are blending everything from everywhere I am sure there may be traces of Aztecs in this saga.
If you would ask me - the lore of their believes and culture is very fitting. Everything about war, blood and cruelty. I would not be surprised if there will be major villain- Aztec God or maybe he is gone but his mask is causing all this troubles.

Last but not least final remarks - In Norse mythlogy Loki the trickster god is known for being deceiving so the mask fits its personality, maybe he is the only one who can handle such thing because of his special nature. Not to mention he is a son of God and Giant.
While Odin was obsessed to know what happens when the god dies.
just a reminder that Vallhala is a heaven for the best brave norse variors, chosen by Valkyries they live aside the gods in that Vallhala, and the High house of Norse gods -Asgard is somehere near. But is not where dead gods go.
Apparently that place is everywhen and the mask is either portal, or the key or the vision device connected to that.

to be honest now I cant wait to learn how all this unfolds, no matter who would I control man, woman, boy or girl I just want to finish this epic story.
