Ezio's Apple has gone
Hello everyone i haven't posted in a while, sorry!
I have just finished playing Bonfire of the vanities on my main account. Now i had already completed the game on this account and so as per usual the game went back in time to sequence 13. When i finished sequence 13 i noticed that the Apple of Eden had gone from my belt.
From what i can remember once you have completed the game and you return to it again after the ending cut scenes the Apple of Eden stays with you. But my memory isn't that great and i can't remember if Ezio leaves the Apple in the vault 
If he does then this post is pretty much me rambling about nonsense and if so i am sorry. But if he does take it with him like i thought he did then i would like to known if anyone else has lost their Apple. 
have you played seq 12?
Even if he hasn't there's a reminder at the beginning of sequence 13. Did you read that?
yes i have played both sequences and i understand that you loose the Apple, but then you get it back at the end of Sequence 13 yet it is still missing from my belt
I assume Ezio learned his lesson from the first time he kept the apple with him. Keep in mind he's the most wanted man in Italy, and the last time he had the apple with him he got it stolen (twice, actually). Since they all walk away at the end, my guess is that Ezio gave the apple to Mario so that Mario could take it back to the Villa with him, since Ezio now needs to go round up codex pages for sequence 14, according to the story progression.

Agreed.
But the Apple looks bad on the belt, anyway.
IDK i quite like the Apple on the belt.
Yea i think you are both right, i just completed the game again going through all the sequences in sequence ie sequence 12 and 13 come before 14 and Ezio had the apple when i returned to the game after the credits. I guess that when you complete the game and then go back to sequence 13 and finish it, the game saves that image of Ezio without the Apple and that is how he stays.
