Jonathan Warner @bio_Warner *Puts on baseless speculation and overreaction hat* This whole marketing approach - 'Do you have what it takes[to be N7] ?' - might lend some added credence to the earlier speculation about Ryder eventually earning her own N7 designation. We already know that "This is a story about becoming a hero", with Ryder starting out as a relatively untested rookie, and I suppose an N7 badge - with attendant ME1 Spectre-esque award ceremony - would be a pretty good way to mark that transition from rookie to hero. (Personally, I'm not fussed either way; I just thought it was interesting.)

The team definitely needs new blood... although I feel sorry for the freshmen if they're going to be treated like nobodies just because they're new. Yeah, I'm thinking of the glassdoor reviews... from the looks of it they are mostly looking for senior level employees. guys with already 5 to 6 years of job experience. so more like graduate than freshman level. Is it possible they'll release info at Pax West? i wouldn't hold my breath for any info. most of the BW folks that are at PAX West are folks that are not working on MEA right now. Mike Laidlaw, Patrick Weekes, Epler etc.

It'll be interesting to see if they also start marketing the "Ai" brand closer to launch.

Idk, somehow I don't think so?
But maybe? *tinysquee* Oh, excuse me. Where that come from?
There also seems to be that recurring "recruitment" theme. I think this may apply to the idea that the passengers on the Arks are indeed volunteers being recruited. Could it also point to the whole Pathfinder project, or a part of it, being a military enterprise afterall?
Systems Alliance specifically? They need that image of the Hackett recruitment signs from ME3 you see in the Citadel.

That's true, though I don't think that at the start of the game it'll be something that related to the protagonist. Maybe we'll become N7 through the story, but Ai shirt (And logo on The PC) as well as the N7 character being someone else makes it very likely we won't start as N7. N7 did become one of the most prominent things related to the ME universe, for better or worse, so it's normal they're using it a lot, considering the changes in the story and setting department.

(Personally, I'm not fussed either way; I just thought it was interesting.) I wouldn't be opposed to that approach. Despite the prominence of N7 throughout the series (and mostly its advertising), I never really felt any special connection to the symbol. Looking at the box art before playing the games, I figured there would be some deep meaningful background to being an N7. And I didn't really get that at all? Except for giving some pep talks to Vega in ME3, which I didn't really feel all that invested in due to the aforementioned detachment. It's also why I never particularly care when people talk about why being N7 in Andromeda is so important. I can see myself becoming much more interested if they focused on Ryder's journey to becoming N7 and the themes behind it.

I believe they did say the protag doesn't start as N7 and we know the N7 character in the video isn't the PC (my guess, he's actually one of the villains/antagonists). But it wouldn't surprise me to see the PC either become N7 (or just the option to become N7) somewhere down the line.

*dons tinfoil hat* my theory is that the N7 will be the antagonist, who may also possibly be Ryder's sibling/family member. We may work up to our own N7 designation to bring back honor to the family name or something similar. I think N7 is such a part of the brand at this point that I'd be surprised if we never get to achieve it, assuming we start out as non-N7 specialists/explorers or whatever. Ai might just be the name of the ark project, or maybe the name of the group of soldiers and specialists you're working with.
This speculation is probably completely offbase, lol, but who knows.
