Very recent. In fact, the technology to make guns, gunpowder, and bullets were taken from the {{spoiler|ruins of Shinjuku}} within the Labyrinth of the first game. Found, studied, and sold. Within a few years they have become popular weapons in some circles, becoming common enough to be sold in shops by the time the second game comes around. |

While your Guild could easily [[Old Save Bonus|make the jump from]] ''Etrian Odyssey'' to ''Heroes of Lagaard'', certain endgame events make such a reappearance unfeasible -- mainly, {{spoiler|their 'involvement' in the immortality project}}. While your heroes are meant to be [[Featureless Protagonist|blank slates]] and everything about them hinging solely on your imagination, that sort of ending demands ''some sort'' of follow-up if they return... which is exactly why they ''won't''. |

Regardless of whatever path they decided to take with it, it'd be [[Unpleasable Fanbase|impossible to please everyone]] -- what might work as "perfectly in character" for some players' Guilds to do would invariably prove [[Character Derailment|"horribly OOC!"]] for others. End result: one majorly [[Broken Base]], something a niche series like ''Etrian Odyssey'' can't afford. |
