What do you suppose is Ciel's story in ZX?  She created the energy source which Serpent then spread towards much of the land, she also created the biometals which Albert wanted to use in his game of destiny, and she organized and somehow got funding for the Guardians and their Guardian base.

She was around before and after humans and reploids merged as a species, and she should have been considered a living legend--a shoe-in for being part of the sage trinity!

Does the furture world of ZX make sense, or are there too many inconsistencies?  Do you think Capcom will be able to weave these inconsistencies together into an elaborate but awesome story?

Ciel was part of the resistance back in the Zero series, if you recall. Plus we don't know about the Sage Trinity, but best bet is they were within the high politics during the Ragnarok incident, therefore they became more influencial. Thus the Reploid Mortality and Human Machine Bodies laws were passed. This was goverened by them, who also have Machine Bodies without tife spans. This happened after Ragnarok Fall.

Ciel went on to reform the Resistance as the Guardians, their purpose one in the same just not bound against one Government. Ciel however never gave up her search for Zero. And ultimately discovered his signature (Cyber Elf) Within CyberSpace. And with her study (or because of her study 0f Model W) she was able to devise their re-birth process. And ultimately resurrected the Big 4, X and Zero.

Plus she was a huge inspiration for Allouette (Prairie). So aside from the stated, her story is not fulfilled in the slightest. Especially since PnP Knew of/about Ciel or knew her directly. Plus, at some point, she knew or came in contact with Albert (over BioMetal?) and it was then she dissapeared.
