FF2 > Timeline Theories

All information and thoughts here are written by: Haruji Sora. And I take no claim to them as my own, but they are interesting and helpful so that is why I have included them here^^

--> The Azami and Akane's Crimson Sacrifice.
Done by the Kiryu Twins, the ceremony was a success. It is unknown when this happen, but one thing for sure that it happened before the Tachibana's turn. It probably happen a few years before, or maybe more.

--> The Tachibana's "Altar Twins" Crimson Sacrifice.
Done by the Tachibana's Altar Twin. It was a year before the Repentance. The Ritual was a failure, and Itsuki's hair turn white. Although it was a failure, the Hellish is probably somewhat appeased, that why they don't need to do another Crimson Sacrifice soon after that. Itsuki begin his plans on helping Sae and Yae's escape from the village. He also sent a letter to Ryozo for help, probably a few months after the ritual. (Letters don't travel fast back in ancient Japan you know)

--> Around one year between Tachibana's Ritual and Makabe's arrival.
The Malice coming out from the X got stronger, half of the Mourners are driven mad and jumped into the Abyss. Poor harvest and deaths are increasing in the village.

--> Around year 1874 to year 18xx, Arrival of the Folklorist and Assitant.
Seijiro Makabe and Ryozo Munakata arrival at the village. It must have happened AFTER 1874 because the edict where the twin who was born later was the younger was already announced, and Makabe is full aware of it. That's why he asked about the village rules on this (refer to Folklorist 12).

--> Ryozo Munakata leaves the village.
Not too long after their arrival (maybe a few days? Weeks?), Ryozo left the village under instructions of his teacher, Makabe and the village strict tradition to not let outsiders in the village on the day of the ceremony. Makabe had special permission, because the villagers wanted to use him as a Kusabi, but both of them don't know about it.

--> Seijiro Makabe is captured.
Not long after Ryozo's departure, Makabe is captured by villagers to be used for the Hidden Ceremony. Sae and Yae tried to help him escape before he was captured (that's why he had the key for the side door of Kurosawa house).

--> The Hidden Ritual using Seijiro Makabe.
After a few days (presumably), Makabe is subjected into the Cutting Ceremony, and later thrown in the Abyss to be made into a Kusabi. The Abyss calmed a little, but still rumbling and growing in power. That's why the Ceremony Master wanted to perform the Crimson Sacrifice so urgently (refer to Ceremony Master's Note 4)

--> Sae and Yae Escape.
With the help of Itsuki, Sae and Yae escaped during the Hidden Ritual. Itsuki distracted the villager, and Sae and Yae escape using the passageway that runs beneath the Old Tree Site. They made it to the mountains, but Sae slipped from the mountain path. Yae searched for her, but is lost instead.

--> Suicide by Itsuki.
After aiding Sae and Yae's escape, Itsuki was captured by the villagers. They throw him into the cell at the storehouse. Itsuki later commit suicide by hanging in there.

--> Capture of Sae.
Sae is captured by the villagers after she fell. She was brought back to the village. Due to the danger of the Abyss bursting out anytime, they decided to use her for the sacrifice, even though a single person is never used before. She found out about Itsuki's suicide before the Ritual, and blamed herself for it.

--> Sae's Sacrifice.
When Sae was thrown into the Abyss, the seal was broken. It doesn't mean Sae was the reason that it got broken. The seal has already started to weaken since the Tachibana's Ritual, and it happened to break during Sae's Ritual.

--> The Repentance.
The Malice spilled out of the Abyss. The failed Kusabi and Sae was corrupted by it and appeared out of the Abyss when the Malice poured out. The Malice engulfed the whole village, killing many. It also wiped out the village from visible eye, that's why you can't see it, only a forest shrouded by mist. Some villager killed themself before they're hit by the darkness. The survivors were killed by Sae and the failed Kusabi. This is in fact the Massacre event at the hall in Kurosawa house.

--> Yae's Return.
Yae, after being lost in the mountain (for hours? days?) finally stumbled back to the Shinto Gate that marks the entrance of the village. But The Repentance has occured, and she can't see the village anymore. Probably due to sadness and shock, she lost all her memories.

--> Ryozo Munakata's Return.
To fulfill his promise with Itsuki, Ryozo returned to the village on the day of the ceremony. But he only find Yae, crying and apparently lost all her memories. He take Yae under his care, and eventually married her later.

--> XX Years after The Repentance.
All God's Dam was construction was announced. A geological surveyor is dispatched into the forest. But he went missing. Masumi in fact wandered into the village, and was trapped there. A search party was launched to find him, but after 10 days it was recalled.

--> XX Days after Masumi's Dissapearance.
Masumi's girlfriend, Miyako believed that her boyfriend is still alive and venture into the forest in search for him. She also wandered into the village. After a period of time trapped, she was reunited with her boyfriend. But when her boyfriend went to the Kurosawa house to investigate a way out, Masumi was slashed to death by the Kusabi. Miyako was later killed by the spirit of Masumi at Osaka's house.

--> About one year after "XX Years after The Repentance".
Mio and Mayu visits the forest, wanting to see it one last time (it is their secret playground) before it is fully submerged in water after the dam is completed. The game events start from here.

--> XX years after The Repentance, after Ryozo and Yae's Marriage.
Married couple Ryozo and Yae, had a child, named Mikoto.

--> Around 10 years after the above.
The Munakata family moved in to Himuro Mansion. Event prior to Fatal Frame unfolds.

--> XX Years later, Miku's Story.
Miku's story as told in Fatal Frame. To know about it, play Fatal Frame!
