Playable possibilities for Ramiel, Normu, Verina, Severian, etc.?This analysis delves into the new 3D characters revealed in Zenless Zone Zero Version 2.7, exploring their identities, roles in the story, and potential as future playable characters. We uncover hidden clues in the game, from Ramiel's possible connection to the First Hollow Hunter to the complex relationships within the TOPS conglomerate, and intriguing links to Final Fantasy VII characters.
1. 🎮 Ramiel's Identity: A Link to the First Hollow Hunter?
· Ramiel is an alias, often spelled 'Ramiel' overseas. It's suggested that she might have extraterrestrial genetic material implanted, similar to the Angel 'Ramiel' from Evangelion.
· She is a mysterious woman of unknown affiliation. She has pink hair, black wings on her back, and wears a flamboyant dress.
· A silver star ornament, often worn by TOPS-related individuals, is on her chest, suggesting a connection to TOPS.
· Although she has black wings, there's a contradiction where white wings are used when she employs her time-stopping ability (The World), suggesting she might actually possess white wings.
· A woman with white wings and pink hair bears a strong resemblance to the leader of the 'First Hollow Hunter Falkenhain Mercenary Group'. While there are slight differences in eye and wing color, she is presumed to be the same person or closely related.
· In a scene where she makes eye contact with the protagonist, their eye implants react, suggesting they might share the same type of implant.
· There's an implication that she's a 'Zangief' player from Street Fighter 2, suggesting she might be a retro gamer, and is presumed to be from the floating island 'Roscalipa'.
· If she is indeed the same person as the Falkenhain Mercenary Group leader, she might be a mercenary working for money, possibly associated with TOPS' Koushi Group.
· Although she currently appears as an antagonist, there's a possibility she could become an ally in future Roscalipa story developments.
