DREAMCATCHER: A Silent Hill Homecoming Theory (Positive Review & Analysis)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I recently came across this comment from @LosMSR on a different video and I'd like to share it (if they wouldn't mind) because it's one of the most interesting takes on Amnion I've seen and surprisingly & coincidentally seems to tie into my theory:
"The boss is really interesting, bc this monster is another proof of the abuse at Shepherd's house. The father isn't around here, the monster is Lillian and Josh, both were abused by Adam. Lillian had absent of voice in her house, she knew the abuse to Josh, but she can't do anything. In some way Alex created this monster, bc he can't protect his mother and his brother. Once he discovered the abuse, this was too late.
The spider is a predator, but in this case, both were upscale by Adam, the boogeyman. Uttu the sumerian goddess took the shape of spider as a way to escape the abuse of her father Enki. Some myths also said that spiders has the ability to create their own worlds. Dreamcatchers are a symbol of a spider web.
Adam is also tied in a sort of web hanging, another symbol that the spider got the revanche. The Shining is a big reference of the game, that's explained the name of the prison, Overlook, like the hotel of the movie and the novel. This is also another proof of the abuse plot in the game-
Another reference to this, happened in the church, if Alex didn't forgive his father, the goal The choice of Angela appears."

The order of which various things are done in this walkthrough may seem weird/out of order, but just stick with it. All Gold Bolts, Skill Points, Missions, and Weapons will be acquired eventually even if it seems like I'm overlooking some things initially. I'm going more for efficiency than anything else. If it seems like I skip something, be patient!! I'll get it at a better time :D It's not always a good idea to do everything as early as possible in this game.

In this series I will be collecting all gold bolts, weapons, skill points, gadgets, goodies, cheats, extras, as well as doing all the missions, and... I think that's it? This game is pretty huge if you put it that way! I was so eager to jump in I forgot to mention some things that I will be sure to go over in the next episode :)
#ratchetandclank #insomiacgames #playstation2
So, a quick rundown would be...
-Go to Publication (pause, go to IC/Specialty, scroll over to Super Specialty. Publication should be there. If not, then upgrade writing and machinery on some characters).
-Make each character make their Lv 10 book. You don't need to make 7 for every character, just make ones for characters who have low affection for each other.
-Read them the books. For example, if Chisato has low affection for Noel, then give Chisato Noel's book via the menu. This will make her like Noel.
-When everyone has over three hearts of affection for each other, you're set. You can check their hearts in the status menu.
It'll play after the credits. You can get this ending after you've already beaten the game, so don't worry if you don't have enough SP to spend to get Publication. Sorry for English voices.

Beat the final boss at my first try with Fidel at level 62 with a role that cut his defense by 80%... All thanks to Death Palm. And ppl be saying Double Slash is the best skill, pffft.
Pros:
-Roles system is great.
-Combat is as good as ever, as per tri-Ace tradition. It's SO3's combat without any restrictions!
-A pretty good cast all things considered. Emmerson and Fidel are stand-outs to me. Miki has the most expressive voice acting of any woman lead yet. The voice acting has the most personality yet with every character having different fluctuations and cadence in their delivery, giving everyone a unique vibe. I also like how everyone's tone changes when talking to Relia during PA's, it gives the voice acting a slight touch of realism. I also got a huge kick out of that one incredibly gruff over the top voice actor who kept voicing different characters.
-You finally keep your bonus after reloading a save (thank God).
-The game is overall faster than the previous installments. Chests no longer stop you in your tracks to play an animation and getting in and out of battles is snappier. Leveling up and stat growth is also faster than ever.
-Nice visuals, I recall a waterfall that looked particularly impressive.
-Having Item Creation take place in the menu is nice and convenient.
-The best battle theme yet. The soundtrack all around is good. Some might say the reuse of SO4 and SO3 music is lazy, but I found it nostalgic and charming. The SO3 music was particularly thematic and played when appropriate.
-I actually like the story. I like the theories it entails, with all the Star Ocean 3 references. So Fidel had Ethereal Blast before Fayt, and it was sorta implied in SO3 that Fayt got Ethereal Blast from the deletion gene (wasn't it?). And with Relia having powers that are reminiscent of Fayt's... Could it be implied that the symbological genetics scientists in SO3 got the information to create the deletion gene by studying the events of this game...? I like to imagine one of the main characters (maybe Fidel or Emmerson... or an older Relia) wrote a book about the adventure they went on, and one of the scientists in SO3 read the book and thought Relia's powers were the key to saving the universe... So they artificially remade her powers in a lab, modified it, and gave it to Fayt, Maria, and Sophia. But that's just a theory.
Cons:
-Needless, inconvenient restrictions on when you can save.
-The most boring unskippable cutscenes I've ever seen. A lot of the dialogue is more drawn out than it needs to be. Even if you do follow along with these cutscenes, a lot of the dialogue is weird and doesn't make much sense, and the characters often come to wild conclusions. Way too many moments where characters talk during battle, making it difficult to pay attention to the dialogue. Different characters often sound similar, making following along even harder. Subtitles are difficult to see at times without any indication on who's talking. Unimportant dialogue is often elongated and boring, but interesting things that should be elaborated on are often discarded shortly after being brought up. A lot of the cutscenes seem pointless as well, just for filler.
-Having run on O. You want that thing held down at all times, but you also want to rotate the camera most of the time.
-The menu is confusing. The communicator is in a particularly cheeky spot in the menu, and turning off magic skills is counterintuitive. I can recall three separate occasions where I had to relearn how to turn off magic, because I could never remember or figure out how I did it previously.
-Dying puts you on Miki, who is arguably the worst character to switch after a death. She's in charge is healing and reviving, so I need to switch to Victor after death so I don't halt her. I guess this isn't that big of a deal since switching characters takes 1 button press, but it really catches me off guard especially considering your rush changes to her as well, and doesn't switch back automatically when you switch back to Fidel. Having rush change independent on who you're controlling is weird design choice imo, I would have much preferred have the rush be who I'm currently controller.
-SO4 had a really nice feature where items you needed were highlighted. So when you were poisoned, the aquaberries in the menu would glow. This incredibly convenient feature was omitted from SO5, I'm assuming due to time restraints.
-The shops are more cumbersome than the previous installments. You can't even buy multiple items at once anymore, which is especially weird for an RPG released in 2017.

Now for Valkyrie Profile. So the universe of Star Ocean is a simulation created by the Sphere corporation. And in Star Ocean 2 and 3, there are Valkyrie Profile posters inside some of the buildings. This could mean Valkyrie Profile is another simulation by Sphere, or is an in-universe Eternal Sphere update or DLC, and the Valkyrie Profile posters are more than just easter eggs; rather than are Sphere advertising their next update/game. Loki destroying all of Midgard at the end of VP1, only for Lenneth to redo everything, could be seen as an instance of Sphere updating the game.

#starocean #squareenix #rpg Star Ocean: Integrity and Faithlessness / Part 8 / Blind Let's Play
The Crowe ending is pretty straight forward, there's not much to interpret. But the Faize Ending on the other hand, that's something to think about. That's incredibly ambiguous. I wasn't expecting that at all. From the little I've heard about it while trying to avoid spoilers, I was under the impression the Faize ending was going to be wholesome. But it was sorta creepy. I was almost under the impression that the Grigori was still controlling him. Why did the devs give him that uncanny facial expression? It makes this part of the interview linked above seem juxtaposition-y to what's actually happening.
/// —I’d like to ask about Crowe and Faize’s endings too.
Iwao: Faize’s ending is actually foreshadowed in the beginning. In the “Nothing At All” Private Action (“Suspicious Duo” in the JP), Edge finds Lymle there in Faize’s room while he’s sleeping, looking like she’s about to pull a prank. Just before this in the story, the Black Tribe on Roak shows you the Summoning Symbology. Lymle actually learns the Summoning Symbology at that time, just by watching. She’s a genius, after all. So in the “Nothing At All” Private Action, she is practicing the Summoning Symbology, and after the final battle, when Faize is falling, she uses it then to rescue him.
—It did seem like there was a light or something shining behind Faize’s back in that scene. That was the summoning Symbology being used, then.
Iwao: Yes, she warps him out of there. Until you see Faize’s ending, we wanted to give players the impression that Faize had died then. ///
Iwao seems to be confusing transference with summoning in this interview, but still very interesting. Maybe Faize was smiling in his ending, but the camera angle made it look more like a frown.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I wanted to save this part of the description for my eventual Ethereal Queen bonus episode, but I'm just gonna put it here instead because I have no idea how long it's gonna me to get to her. Can whoever happens to come across this description answer this question: Why does Wikipedia say this?
"Not willing to leave Faize behind, Edge attempts to rescue him, but both fall into a dimensional portal. Edge awakens floating in a separate dimension, where Crowe and Faize tell him they are fine and will always be looking after him. Edge happily reunites with everyone back in his own dimension aboard a USTA spacecraft."
^That is the plot summary for what happens right after you beat Satanail. It says Crowe and Faize tell him that are fine and will always be looking after him? Where did that come from? I know it's implied Faize saves him, I understood that even when I first played, but what's with these bonus scenes in the Wikipedia summary?

So far the combat feels like Star Ocean, the visuals look like Star Ocean, and quality is tri-Ace quality. Will this be another game I shall passionately defend? Stay tuned for the answer.

#starocean #squareenix #rpg Star Ocean: Integrity and Faithlessness / Part 1 / Blind Let's Play - First Impressions
Want to see Faize ending on a second playthrough?? Be sure to SMASH that lik- I'm just kidding lmao I'll do a Faize ending video if I feel like it, like's and engagement don't factor into this channel's decisions (though they are appreciated).
Cons:
-Saving takes 30 SECONDS!!! You're going to save around 60 times over the course of the game, which means you'll spend 30 whole minutes saving!
-Can be hard to lock on to the enemy you want.
-I hate to snobbishly list this as a "con" but some of the characters and private actions are unbearable. Meracle has a terrible character design with a terrible personality. Myuria is overlookable (I guess) since she's about as sexualized as Arumat, but her design doesn't even match her personality and the giggle physics in this game are incredibly over-the-top. Did Sarah, of all people, need such uncanny giggle physics? At least give Arumat giggle physics as well (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻ ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) Myuria is shown wearing a much cooler outfit in a flashback, that would have been much preferred over her final design. Then there's Welch. I like her design and the dance she does when you create items, and I suppose I also appreciate the enthusiasm from the VA, but I'm glad all her scenes are skippable (unlike some other cringy scenes).
Pros:
-Great exploration, visuals, combat, and a visually interesting menu that's a huge stylized step up from the previous games.
-Crafting is more streamlined. As long as you have the right skills to boost drop rate, you can should be able to craft without much RNG or trouble.
-A much needed sprint button is appreciated.
-A great story, as much of a hot take as this is. I do like a lot of the characters. Edge, Reimi, Faize, Lymle, Bacchus, Crowe, and Arumat and all good in my book. Say what you want about Sarah, but she has one of the only genuinely funny scenes in the game (the nightmare scene). I also like how she saved Reimi at the end, that was a good pay off for her mentioning she can't fly in every cutscene like a broken record. And screw it, I even sorta like Myuria, I just think her design is hArDcOrE cRiNgE, dUdE!... And then there's Faize, who is one of my favorite characters in all of Star Ocean. The plot itself has many interesting beats and adds many ways to theorize and discuss Star Ocean lore. Some of my favorite cutscenes in the series are in this game. The music plays at perfect times making the cutscenes atmospheric and each story beat impactful.
-Great customization. Being able to customize the ship with furniture is a nice touch, and you can even turn off the blindside animation if you wish.
-A great, imo, bonus board system. You can level up reaaally quickly in this game, much quicker than you could in the previous games. Some enemies in the final dungeon give 40,000 exp by default, and with the proper bonus board you're looking at well over 100,000 per battle.
-Great soundtrack, as per usual.
-Able to swap out active and reserve party members during battle. A simple thing that is easy to overlook, but is much appreciated.
-So far, this feels like the most balanced Star Ocean game. Every character can do something ridiculous and over powered.
