Yeah it honestly didn’t take long to think up that much after analyzing some details including what was said at PSX. It’d be a nice contrast especially since now that they’re both older showing flashbacks can be a way to reflect growth in their character. It’ll add more depth than was possible in first game as first game was mainly their origin story now we can see how that growth has changed them and what they look back on.

And Tess clearly was very important to Joel so perhaps we may even see Tommy show up also and have it turn out they all knew each other even growing up and not just him with Bill and Tess, since Bill most likely is still alive in the second game also. But that remains to be seen, even if Naughty Dog does have a history of recurring characters in their franchises or so. Thing is idk how that measures up to others’ theories though many already have other plausible ideas of what happened http://www.gamesradar.com/joels-dead-ellies-pregnant-the-last-of-us-2-theories-fans-are-all-arguing-over/

That’s one clever theory

Because she’s set on revenge and he’s gonna die soon, for reasons unknown still, so now he’s following along with her on her journey, as not only will it open up more about who the Fireflies are, but also who Joel and Ellie are, and how possibly from even before she was born, their fates were intertwined, and how they’ll have to part soon enough because the burden will become too much for Joel after keeping her alive for so long, forlorn by the path she’s taken, a similar path that Tess took that got her killed, which may bring her also back into the story with Joel maybe playing him in flashbacks whereas the first game was just them switching back and forth in the present. AGAIN: I’m probably wrong, but we shall see. This game will be….much darker than the first one. But I’m ready for it. Bring it on Neil Druckmann, nothing I can’t handle.
