A month or so ago, Masato Kato released a statement regarding a new update for Another Eden - specifically, a new quest for Raven, the game's Magus-analogue, the first of which that dives into this character's actual story:
Quote
Raven's a character who has been around since
the beginning.
And with that, fans of another certain series
featuring a mysterious masked man had plenty
of time to offer up a hypothesis about the
mystery that surrounds him.
Will this be the quest that finally reveals the
truth?

The quest itself brings Raven face-to-face with a monster responsible for his loss of memory, who tells him that he isn't even from the game's world. When he asks who he truly once was, he is met with, well, let's just say a very interesting answer

Warning: Black Windy Spoilers ahead



...other parts of his story seem to make further reference to the Dreams Epilogue ending from Chrono Trigger DS, particularly a line from Magus over whether or not "some small part of him should remain".

bonus: it has been pointed out that the new outfit Raven receives from this quest seems to draw heavy inspiration from Kato's own original concept sketches for Magus, with the appearance of skeletal wings on his back. Nice touch.

So now Magus ISN'T Guile, because he was warped out of the continuity entirely, right?

At this point I think Magus should have his own game. Make it like Dragon Quest Monsters, but have Magus recruit monsters throughout the eras.

If I'm ever able to pull his AS form, this might actually give me a reason to play Raven now.

I mean, the dialogue teases he may go back one day. And he is wearing a very similar, if not THE, mask of Guile.
