So, I was watching Back Cover and I noticed hat Skuld don't appear in it.

At first I don't care much about it, but then I also noticed that in the scene when Master Ava speeches to Dandelions there is the "Player". But in the original version, the Player did not go to the encounter, instead Skuld did. So, in Back Cover, the Player replaces Skuld.

Then I remember a thing: in the KHx (browser) credits, the Player is replaced by Ephemer and Skuld.

This change could be mean something for you?

Yeah, we don't see Skuld in there. And "us" players put the Dandelion offer under consideration, and was concerned towards the Keyblade Wielders and the Keyblade War.

 

And yes, regarding the ending credits. We see both Ephemer and Skuld, doing what we were doing in those respected missions.

 

So I guess they removed us from the respected parts of Unchained X/X[chi]'s story (the player's interactions), to make it less confusing. I guess for an example: The Pokémon games VS the Pokémon anime. We play as ourselves in the games, while we don't exist in the anime.

 

Or we could likely put ourselves as the very bunch that participated in the Keyblade War and died from it, since we put the Dandelion offer under consideration.

Ehhhhhh, I think it's more likely that they couldn't be bothered to create a 3d model of Skuld for litterally one scene so they simply replaced her with us. Also I believe that the whole credits thing was just Square being too lazy to figure a way to render our Avatars in each of those screenshots so they used Ephemer and Skuld as it would be easier and faster.

Would have loved to see Skuld tho in Backcover.

I guess they wanted to focus more on the Book of Prophecies and the search for the inner traitor .

Most likely, but in the same scene there are other 20 characters who doesn't talk or do anything for the whole movie. Creating Skuld instead one of them it would be appreaciate, even just for a cameo.

I agree. They went through the hassle to actually recreate quite a few NPCs the way they looked in Chi, but couldn't be bothered to create Skuld? I would've been fine with just a glimpse of her when that scene faded out, but no Skuld at all is kind of cheap - as if we didn't have a major problem with female characters being neglected in this series already.

It's because the focus of Back Cover was on the Foretellers, the Book of Prophecies and the MoM. The player was only there to draw the connection to Unchained X. Ephemer only appeared in that one scene because he interacted with Master Ava, also the scene was shown from her POV. As for the dandelions, well they were just there to recreate the scene where they were given the roles of dandelions. I wanted to see her too, maybe they could do another movie for Unchained, but this time focus on the dandelions

That's actually not the Player in Back Cover. That's this Keyblade wielder: https://i.redditmedia.com/EatxlyzB9whIvXr019n-10z5IyRhDoIiRBCLVSzZZfQ.jpg?w=1024&s=73bd3ee27e4bf1661ab88efc7a67df66

Uh, how are you so sure that "our" player was in that crowd? There were a bajillion models in there, I say it's pretty ambiguous whether that's "us" in there or not.

 

Anyway, it makes sense that they didn't feature Skuld in any capacity, since her story is mostly with us, the player, and Back Cover is mostly focusing on the Foretellers, but it still would have been nice to at least see her standing in the crowd, just to see her get the same amount of detail Ephemer got.
