Chronology: Difference between revisions

Events marked as '''DOD1''' continue on from '''''Drag-On Dragoon 3 Story Side''''' (world of pacts). Events marked as '''DOD1.3''' continue on from '''''Drakengard 3 Branch A''''' (world w/o pacts). It is believed that all other events are shared between the two branches.{{Note|name="goddess"|It is worth noting however that neither the goddess nor the seals are ever mentioned during the events of ''[[Drag-On Dragoon Shi ni Itaru Aka]]'' or ''[[Drag-On Dragoon 1.3]]''. It is therefore possible that the Goddess Seal system was never created in the '''DOD1.3''' branch.}}
