Formerly: The Remix DoM Project!?! Now general KF discourse.

I don't think Agetec cared what they put in the guides and they contradict the KF games and even sometimes even contradict themselves.

If you ignore the guide stories, the games themselves make pretty good sense and have congruity. All three KF games say that the Moonlight Sword was made by Guyra and given to the Forester family in ancient times. It was passed down to Hauser and finally John got it off his father's grave in KFJ. ‎  That's why Guyra repaired it and empowered it.

The 'Forest Dragon' is just what Guyra is called in an ancient legend where he reportedly saved Verdite. It is inferred that the member of the Forester family who was given the Moonlight Sword in ancient times might have been the actual hero who saved Verdite 'in Guyra's name'. By the beginning of KFJ, Guyra is not physically 'embodied', and in later KFs the Forest Dragon is called 'Guyra's projection who guards the place where he hopes to be reborn'. Myria and the other fairies are Guyra's creation and servants.

I don't think Guyra or Seath are inherently evil, they are just opposing forces.

Of interest, the word I translated as 'holy' is literally 'saint' in Japanese which is usually translated as holy in games. It's a different word than 'light' which Japanese seem to equate with power/force rather than holiness.

That's interesting, though it seems strange that his name didn't appear in KFJ (Though I can understand since that was the first game.)

I know that KF3's guide had a huge plot synopsis of the 3 games (near the end of the guide.) ‎  Did the other guides have plot synopses (KFII Guide, KFIV Guide, etc.?)

I have a link that lists the guide books that From made.

I was able to get the KFIII Visual guide from Ebay. ‎  I'm willing to take pictures of the plot synopsis and an interview of the developers if anyone is interested.

Interesting thing to point out: ‎  There were some plot changes yes. ‎  A notable one being Lyn/Meia's death. ‎  US Good ending 'supposedly' brings her back, but the JP Good ending doesn't (As I am reading from a few fan sources.)

EDIT: ‎  Cut a small bit of text since it was repetitive.
