I can't really buy that its noncanon easily. | |||
First in foremost, we don't know the time setting of the clear videos. What is shown is the area's she's been to, and when/where she job changes, never the in betweens. Specifically for Aspara who is the canon class, we see her in the Northern Empire, and to say she never left would be an assumption because she travels to hamel via boat who's structural design looks similar to velders (ofc it still might be a xin kingdom boat but the possibility is still there), plus I can only assume she did not ride the same boat as the party since they left promptly to help hamel. Additionally its rather interesting that we do not see the place she became 2nd job but afterwards. We know that it takes a year between 1st job and 2nd job. In that time Ara could've easily went to Feita sometime after being 1st job considering thats where the demons first appeared on elrios, and since she's looking for her brother, it is the most likely place she'd be (They also explicitly refrain from showing any details on her location in 2nd job aside from trees). Even in Surya's clear video where she's facing Victor in the northern empire, there could still be a significant amount of time in between him being there and him being in hamel because he's the one that made hamel flood in the first place...allegedly. | I can't really buy that its noncanon easily.

I'm not fighting for the continuity of the clear videos as things have been retconned before, but calling it a mistake due to it never being mentioned seems like a massive oversight to me and could give people the wrong idea. As I've noted before, there are things in canon that has never been addressed via in-game dialogue. Elesis meeting Raven, Luciel meeting Raven, Elesis meeting chloe, vanessa giving add his own lab for his help against the demons. All this although dated information, came from outside sources supplied by translators such as 2nafish (except the add part), and there's probably more out there. Authors always add details that were never stated or hinted at in their stories such as JK Rowling (and though it might not make sense or is incredibly stupid, they're the one's who created the story, so they have the final say). Even if its currently noncanon, the fact of the matter is that KoG intended Ara to have crossed paths with the party, therefore it's not a mistake but a purposeful inclusion that is either retconned, forgotten, ignored, hidden, or unneeded. | I'm not fighting for the continuity of the clear videos as things have been retconned before, but calling it a mistake due to it never being mentioned seems like a massive oversight to me and could give people the wrong idea.
