This theory could work, but I have a doubt: On the ME3 ending, depending on which color you picked up, there is a short cinematic that shows to the player what happened to the other civilizations. On some of those pictures you can see some of your crew party. But I remember seeing Wrex, Jacob, Miranda, and maybe Tali. But I'm not sure if the rest of the crew (that were on the normandy when it crashes) appears on those cinematics. If they do, it would mean the end of the Normandy crashing on another Galaxy theory, because they wouldn't be able to come back to their original galaxy if that theory were true, and if so, there wouldn't be some of your party members on those cinematics.
This would not mean we will not play in another galaxy, but it would mean that the normandy didn't crash on it.
3:15Mass Relay? This idea requires asking one important question: Did They ever state that You need two relays to travel across space? Because I've never read codexes that much. Maybe one relay is enough to create this "wormhole" like effect for one-way trip?
Recurring character idea Well… Since there is possiblity that this game will somehow allow You to travel to Andromeda, then why members of Shep's team shouldn't go there or be there? Milky Way seems safe and Andromade may be hostile "area" but area they must colonize? They know how to fight and lead cuz they had Shep as a example.
But my problem with Andromeda galaxy is more "obivous". Populations of all advanced races are reduced due to reapers invasion. Why even bother to go there? There must be some planets that can sustain them. Also… No one never metioned that Reapers are destroying ecological systems, so besides shitload of ruins and dead human corpses Earth should be fine. Same with other planets. Without any serious conflict, plague, crisis or another invasion of superior race between ME3 and ME4, I don't see any reason to go that far. ME3 fucked too many things and closed too many plots in very "sequelunfriendly" way and I doubt that any explanation will be enough.
Last thing. They screwed themselves even more with this "there isn't any canon in ME3 game"… Some canon could give them very "legitimate" reason for that big of a change.
It's a dubious theory. Mass relays are point-to-point, and even if BioWare came up with some handwavy justification for such a prodigious jump — the Crucible beam/pulse unmoored the relay conduit and kicked it into overdrive, or whatever — the crew of the Normandy is tiny. There aren't even enough humans to found a genetically viable colony, let alone aliens.
A more likely explanation is that the Citadel Council decided to hedge its bets during the construction of the Crucible and also outfitted a flotilla of colony ships loaded with refugees in stasis, DNA samples of plant and animal species from the various homeworlds, technical and cultural libraries, etc., and sent it into the intergalactic void to escape the Reapers. At normal FTL speeds, these ark ships would have taken centuries to reach Andromeda. Whatever the outcome of the Reaper War, the refugees would be completely insulated from the consequences. Additionally, supporting characters who remained on the Citadel (e.g., Kelly Chambers, Aria T'Loak) could have made it onto one of the arks before the Reapers seized the station and moved it to Earth.
This doesn't really have to do with your theory, and it's not really a theory at all, but I just had a thought when seeing Shepard blow the station to hell. While doing so, images of his friends flashed and they looked sad. Did they disapprove of his red discision?
Here's more in line with the theory presented in the video though. I don't know if you recall this, but in ME1 it is explained that if the relays are destroyed, the blast of each relay would destroy at least their respective part of the galaxy, and since they're practically all over, it's safe to assume that most of the galaxy would lie in ruins regardless since no matter which ending you choose the relays get destroyed. BW went back to this issue and said they realized how much they had messed up in this regard, but that really doesn't have much to do with what I'm about to suggest.
The red ending destroys technology, the blue controls it, the green melds you witjh it. They all send out a wave of that energy through the entire galaxy. EDI is a synthetic literally throughout her entire being, so shouldn't she have gotten affected in any way?
The only reason I can think of is if they land in another galaxy where the wave doesn't reach, which could very well be the Andromeda galaxy.
Iam in two minds about bringing the old shipmates back i'd go for a fresh start with all new cast to get to know and love because thats what Mass Effect was all about for me
In many space fiction series, ships are in hyper space, something goes wrong to increase hyper space travel speeds to off the chart… and then they end up in another galaxy. Just saying.
Great theory to be honest i always thought they were going to ignore the concept of the reapers and storyline and make the game more like a free runner with different cast of characters or maybe go into the game play of other story's that centered around the 3 games . I just found out about this Andromeda rummer right now and i agree if they were going to continue the story in any way this explanation could be plausible ,however what about the synthesis ending ? that would make the renaming species in our galaxy somewhat supioror to the beings who inhabit the Andromeda , and it would have to have what ever cast members who survived the 3 games all the way up to the Normandy crash (excluding shepherd) who knows if the reapers ever touched other galexy's its hard to imagine even they had the resources. With all that being said who knows what life forms have developed with no harvest to come to pass . :0
im gonna use star trek voyager to help me out. so in thefirst episode of the series the ship was going thrughe an area know as the badlands, a shockwave anomaly occurred sending the ship across the galaxy. my theory is a similar event occurred when the mass relays ware destroyed, sinding the Normandy to he Andromeda galaxy
An interesting theory regarding the next #MassEffect game and the previous trilogy's ending! #E32015
actually, this theory makes no sense at all since in extended cut the normandy flies away from that planet so they wouldnt be there in me4 at all

I wish you'd keep the ingame cutscenes shorter in your videos. Seems like a pointless waste of time in an otherwise informative video.
This doesn't really have to do with your theory, and it's not really a theory at all, but I just had a thought when seeing Shepard blow the station to hell. While doing so, images of his friends flashed and they looked sad. Did they disapprove of his red discision?

Thoughts?
♥liara and sheapered child as a squad mate
I thought the whole crash scene looked like a simulated thing, because the leaves looked like a circuit board n so did jokers arm???
Love you raizer! Not romantically, though.
Iam in two minds about bringing the old shipmates back i'd go for a fresh start with all new cast to get to know and love because thats what Mass Effect was all about for me
i kinda beleave in the indoctrination theory
Good fucking call!!!!! The next mass effect is actually named "Mass Effect Andromeda" hahaha
Can't wait!
love the vid but plis stop the ending scenes in it it always makes me cri so hard
In many space fiction series, ships are in hyper space, something goes wrong to increase hyper space travel speeds to off the chart… and then they end up in another galaxy. Just saying.
Mass effect: Andromeda
Its not a extra-galaxy planet because when you do synthesis all the plants glow
Great theory to be honest i always thought they were going to ignore the concept of the reapers and storyline and make the game more like a free runner with different cast of characters or maybe go into the game play of other story's that centered around the 3 games .

There's maybe a Easter egg that you find the Normandy just a theory
im gonna use star trek voyager to help me out. so in thefirst episode of the series the ship was going thrughe an area know as the badlands, a shockwave anomaly occurred sending the ship across the galaxy. my theory is a similar event occurred when the mass relays ware destroyed, sinding the Normandy to he Andromeda galaxy
sorry if my spilling sucks
