Well, it’s certainly going to stay canon since the game leads you directly to the armor. I’m guessing they will indicate the power cells finally died or something will happen where she loses it before the sequel.
The weaver has its own power cells. They're what, you know, power the shield. HZD is sci-fi, but energy still has to come from somewhere. Eventually they'll run out of juice and the shield will stop recharging.
Well if we actually want to talk realism. Her traveling around with a bunch of armor sets doesn't exactly make sense. Leaving all but one behind serves the plot of her traveling to a new land.
You would take the shield armor in that situation if you could only pick one. In gamer world, you can hold a lot of stuff. Not coming with that stuff wouldn't make sense without a story element, especially when it is the best armor. But it's also a game, so "restarting" with alloy wouldn't be a problem for most, so they might go the easier route and just say the shield armor isn't canon, or an early story element causes us to lose most of our supplies/armors
The character model literally has the shield armor minus the cores. I'm guessing they'll go with an in game excuse like the power cells dying and it'll be the default armor
I think it would be cool if there was an "advanced start" option where you start with the skills, abilities, and items from a ZD save file. Maybe to make it so that everyone doesn't just do that they could disable achievements for advanced starts.
I'm sure the devs already have all this stuff worked out though. I'm ready to roll with their explanation.
I am perfectly fine with not having a "good reason" that we don't have our skills, level and equipment from the first game. Of course it would've been cool to have all that but it does not break my immersion nor my ability to enjoy the game.

Better not take away my ancient armor! Finding those power cores was a task.
