Another idea I had talking with Serk: What if we rolled the Coven idea into the new FC via a Kidou Corps defection? That could explain just where the hell all these mages came from anyway, and they could go off on their own to join an end-time cult in the human world or something, granting actual fire power to the crazy ass end-timers.

We were also discussing how, when compared to the success of the first FC (technically second), the main difference was that the main plot of the FC was driven around the Soul Society/the Shinigami, and all the side elements/factions were allowed to branch off of that. So then when the shinigami actually DID come to the Human World, that meant that shit was getting serious. Maybe focusing on the Soul Society as the "main line" for the FC would be best then, and instead of lumping everything together or ignoring factions, we just focus on that one thing for the FC. As Serk said, the last FC felt a little like it was trying too hard to involve everyone in the same plot.

I think that's kind of what you were getting at though Saris.
