This corresponds to >'Christian calendar' years 1925-1926. But here's the thing: >the Taisho era was only 15 years long; the Showa era in fact >begins sometime in 1926 according to what I've been looking >up. So what does this mean for Sakura Taisen 3? Do you think >it's possible it'll take place simultaneously with either of >the first two games, albeit in a different place with a different >cast? Perhaps even further back, to the time of the original >Teikoku Rikugun TaiKoumaButai? Or do you think Red might do >something 'drastic' and 'extend' the Taisho era? Or will we >just be hearing 'Showa-zakura ni roman no arashi' during the >previews for the next chapter? Unless the game takes place really soon after ST3 (just before the Taisho era ends), I'm betting we will see the words you put up as the topic being recited by each of the girls during the 'next episode' preview movies. :P
