I know it's already been mentioned, but it feels like Remnant's technological progression is inconsistent/confusing. Granted we have limited info in the form of simple stylised 2D segments with narration, but from what we've been shown Atlas was at least at WWI levels at the start of the great war while the rest of the world was possibly in the dark ages. Roughly five years later, and Mantle/Atlas begins work on what is essentially their global internet, and that's not counting the very advanced weaponry they were shown with in WOR Atlas and WOR Vaccuo. 80 years later they have self-aware androids with swords that can fire devastating beams, mechs with autonomous capability, massive gravity-defying airships with lasers, and mass produced humanoid combat robots.

In regards to the rest of the world, it looks like they went from spears, swords, and bows to hoverboard revolvers, tilt-jets, a gatling gun suitable for modern air to air that can transform into a handbag.
