Ark theory is a nice theory. It was basically confirmed in ME3. Ending of Thessia when Shepard confronts the Asari councilor.

"continuity of civlization to consider"
She didn't say what "civilization" she just said "civilization"
I think your over analyzing it, she could have meant trying to find somewhere for the refuges to stay.
I seriously think it's just our Galaxy made to look fancy on a holographic display.
Is this a place in the game, or the real world, am having a hard time to tell the difference now.

Why not? They did say that we'd be surprised by how far they'd go. That could just be in time, as in the far future, or it could be a new galaxy, which is the cleaner option because it sidesteps the entire ending issue if they left this one before the Crucible fired. Otherwise they'd have to shoehorn all three wildly divergent endings into a single basic outcome, meld all three in some repeat of Deus Ex: Invisible War, or make one of them canon.I think it was just a stylized Galaxy Map.
There is NO WAY this game is taking place outside of our Galaxy.
I'm glad I heard the words "move forward" somewhere in there.

Note that none of those possibilities leave any space for the Refuse ending, but the new galaxy option leaves it as a valid possibility.
Because a new Galaxy means no Citadel or anything we've grown accustomed too. I would be really surprised if it was set in another Galaxy and while aliens from other Galaxies are a possibility I don't think the whole game is going to be set outside of the Milky Way.
About the 'Galaxy Map'. It is not even certain if it is one. Although it does look like it, it might also be something completely different. I think it is a nice thing that 'something' is finally out in the open to speculate about, but this trailer is unfortunately a bit dissapointing. It's still better than nothing, but the fact that we didn't even get a name, just some vague screenshots, is still a bit meh. I guess the hypetrain crashed again... haha
Let's hope for follow up news soon, although the chances are pretty slim for that to happen unfortunately.
Ohhh ****, I just spotted a Turian and a Salarian using omni-tools @ 53 seconds into the video. This makes me think we're still in our Galaxy. I doubt they have the resources to move all their people and technology to another Galaxy and build a new civilization.
For one thing, you're going to have the option to at least play as a human. It's my understanding that there are only in mass relays in the Milky Way galaxy. Without access to a faster-than-light method of travel, humans would be hard-pressed to make it out of our solar neighborhood, let alone the galaxy. I mean, unless the game is set many thousands of years in the future; in which case, all bets are off.

May as well do both.
But I do think they will go with just a new galaxy, because that way they avoid the consequences of ME3.

How would it avoid the consequences of ME3? If Synthesis happened - everyone is half machine. If Control happened, Reapers are still around. If Destroy happened, no Reapers.
We don't even know if there are Mass Relays in the other Galaxies, how would they get around? How would they even get to these other Galaxies - Reapers couldn't even travel between Galaxies.
Again for a little perspective. Most if not all Uptopian societies from biblical and mythology fell for some reason or another.
What was the point in promising it, then? "Hey Shepard you died and made everyone involuntarily green but don't worry it wears off after a few millennia and everything you did was absolutely pointless."
ME3 was clearly originally intended as the end of the series, period. Particularly after Extended Cut.
Ok, just saw the trailer. Just snippets still satisfied.
Also, since we are talking about the Ark theory, here's what I came up with a while back.
Since we are talking about this stuff, here is what I proposed a while back:
''Just wanted to push this idea a little bit further. We know that in the Milky Way, there are many parts that are unexplored or inaccessible. The Council banned any new exploration after the Rachni incident. Who's to say that other species aren't living in those areas?
Just look at humanity. Because the Charon relay was frozen, nobody knew about them. If humans hadn't turned on that relay, nobody would've discovered them.
Also, don't forget that most species have sent expeditions into deep space without ever hearing from them again. In case any of you remember this story: Alliance Links Lost Colony with Manswell Expedition of 2070
A cool theory would be that just before the final battle with the Reapers, the Council species secretly sent out a sort of Noah's Ark with all the species in a last ditch effort to preserve their future. They happen to land in an area inaccessible with the Mass Relay's, which saves us from having to deal with the ending choices. They then have to try and remake contact with the rest of the galaxy while dealing with new environements and species.
Just throwing out some ideas''
Adding to this: Liara says we aren't very widespread, and very little of the galaxy is explored. To make it more ''Mass-Effecty'' You could even start the story 100-200 years down the line, and our species (Asari, Turian, Salarian, etc.) having established colonies in that unexplored region. Add some inter-species tension(cold war), some new environements, and a few new (and potentially hostile) species, and BAM.
You get a great game AND something that will not set a nuke off in BSN;)
Hmmmmm...
A Prothean?
Crucible wave was shown to catch the entire galaxy, even unexplored regions
Not necessarily. I understand this is a major obstacle in keeping the next game set in the milky way, but hear me out. The green/blue/red waves need the Mass Relays to travel. As we see in the ending video, the waves dissipate with distance. Obviously, not all the relays are active (frozen, like Charon, or displaced like the Rachni Relay), and the Reapers judged that there wasn't anything worth checking out, so they were left closed. If the waves can't reach these ''unexplored regions'' we're in buisness for this game to still be in the milky way.
Methinks either a Prothean clone (they can clone Kakliosaurs, why not Protheans?) or Javik. OR, they stumbled upon a Prothean colony that survived the Reapers.
Also, here is the Turian and Salarian examining what we think is Normandy wreckage:

The beam transmitted through the relays in the synthesis thing wouldn't have reached outside the network.
They will probably contrive a way of how they got there and how they get around. Perhaps some experimental engine or something.
!!!!!!
I did not see that second guy in the galaxy map pic. Oh booooy.
Well, being that there are no relays there, the beam transmitted through the relays in the synthesis thing wouldn't have reached outside the network.
They will probably contrive a way of how they got there and how they get around. Perhaps some experimental engine or something.
Yeah, but anyone who travels from our Galaxy to this new one would still have been affected by Synthesis.
As for "experimental engine", nope. All technology is based of Reaper technology, and even they can't travel between Galaxies.
Does anyone else think that the guy in orange/black armour could potentially be antagonist?

Also, here is the Turian and Salarian examining what we think is Normandy wreckage:
Can someone point me out the potential Normandy? I think I see the Turian and Salarian but no much else
Enhanceeeeeeeeeeeeee! We need to go deeeeeeeeper!!!

The big black thing in the background looks like one of the Normandy's thrusters.

Not if they went before the Crucible fired.
Also, prior experience tells you not to expect everything to make sense in Mass Effect.
Does anyone have any thoughts on my deformed Krogan theory? Genophage went wrong and messed up the Krogans or something?
