What happened to SB (story)?

[Alleo]

The lore book directly contradicts the game in that case, all the following are taken from the in-game journal entries.

We didn't only travel with the Scions though, we took at least three people with us, remember when the boat crashed and we all went off to investigate together?

I would dare to say that a lore book is probably way more cannon than ingame writings, especially since they heavily depend on the language. For example in the german version of Susanno there is no sentence about our other adventurers. Also the part with the ship shows exactly how bad this is. We go to Doma only with the scions, all the cutscenes before and after that show it. We are also completely alone again when Alphinaud runs towards us after the boss fight. Why are the other adventurers always leaving us alone? Its the same in Doma castle. Where are the others that should have fought with you in the last cutscene? Why are there no birds for them in the sky, because there is only one bird left without someone on it. Why would the adventurers leave us behind in the most crucial scenes? Why would we always get full credit if we always have others with us?

Also in HW you have dungeons like Sohr Khai that are trials so we should do them alone, yet ingame mechanics have us with others that are again gone afterwards. We go with Cid and Co. toward Azys Lla, there is no other adventurer with us, so we did beat the dungeon (and Regula) and Thordan and his 12 knights canonically alone.

And about the rest of primals. Many situations itself do not make sense with other people there. Ifrit captures you and the other soldiers, yet they would leave you without bindings and there is truly a lake there where you can just go and gather other people (that you randomly met in the desert since you cant get far away or they will notice that you are gone?). How big is the chance that you do all of that without them noticing it, and with gathering three other people that have echo too. Also again in the cutscene Ifrit only mentions you and its also only the WoL there. Afterwards Thancred also only worries about you. Bismark is another case of jerks as other adventurers if they were there with you. Because after the fight you are ganged up by Thordan and one Ascian. Where are the others? Why did they not help?

Ramuh wants to fight against the WoL (which only got there with the scions) to test our strength and talks only about us again. If we should show him our strength wouldnt it be cheating to go with others against him? The same in SB where Lyse, Gosetsu and Hien all take the path solo..yet the text says that we should gather other people. WoL = cheater confirmed? Yet again, when we are finished and Lyse is already there, we are alone again. I just cant believe that we have that many adventurer friends that are especially where we need them all the time, are on the same power level as we are, disappear in nearly every cutscene after the dungeon/trial and are not known in the world too.

I am not sure why they went out of their way to write it down again, especially after it was Koji that had a big hand in the lore book thus used it to confirm that most of the stuff is done alone. Maybe its some type of humor?

Sorry for the bit of off topic.
