The 'Korean' names are actually native to Irohma, and Dominic Santiago,as well as Marcus and Baird, are of the Tyran ethnicity.There are names of obvious Korean and Spanish descent, for example. Plus the surnames seem to allude to Earth ancestry.If humanity fully evolved on Sera instead of being recent colonists, how did they know nothing about the Locust? How believable would it be if tomorrow we discovered that there's a widespread sentient race under Earth's surface and for all of the hundreds of years that we've been mining and cave exploring we just never found any evidence of them until now? It would make sense if humanity created the Locust, which Gears of War 2 seemed to suggest, but this question was never answered in any of the games.

No, it's not that everyone's expecting the 'long lost colony of earth' reveal, it's that if it isn't a colony it raises a lot of plotholes.

In the vein of this, if it is 'just' a colony world, why do they keep fighting the Locusts year after year? It used to be a pretty nice planet, but after years of war, not so much.

It's more common in High Fantasy, but hardly ever used for sci-fi, almost every sci-fi work ties to the real Earth in some way.

Well, the idea of a planet that's similar to but distinct from Earth is rather uncommon in sci-fi.

Maybe the 'This planet is REALLY A LONG LOST COLONY WORLD OF EARTH' reveal has been used so much in fiction, that everyone is just sorta standing around for it. But.does it have to be? Why can't it just be a regular ol' planet in a regular ol', non Earth related universe the creators just made up to tell their story? Maybe Earth and our universe was entirely nonexistent in Gears of War that it's just its own standalone universe.

It seems like everyone is expecting the Gears of War universe to tie in with Earth somewhere.

Another theory is that when you reverse the name Sera, you get Ares.

The most commonly heard theory, and generally the most widely accepted, is that Sera is just an Alternate Universe Earth.

Okay, is Sera a colony world of Earth, or are its inhabitants Human Aliens? The games never actually address this, and there hasn't been a reliable-sounding citation of Word Of God on the issue either.
