Overall genrally an informative and extremely entertaining video. I really enjoyed it!
Very much appreciated!
Great video! Will you be doing a potential sequel/dlc predictions video?
Thanks! Hadn't considered one on sequel/DLC predictions but have some ideas for a bit of a deeper dive into Mother Sphere and her motivations.
@@magedgaming Looking forward to it. Wonder if the alpha core floating in space will come into play later down the road?
Excellent Video!
Greatly appreciated!
Thank you for bringing up the tetrapod fiasco, because while it was ultimately good for the gameplay to have it there for traversing to a different area, it annoyed me from a storytelling perspective. That ship can still be found in the areas you would typically find it, like in Xion and next to the first Levoire, and they talk like nothing was wrong with it. But then you proceed with main mission, and we are reminded that the tetrapod was damaged. Shift Up REALLY could've done more to not break the immersion.
With all that, while I do agree that the execution of the story wasn't strong, the world building and the philosophies in it were, in fact, great. It doesn't hide its influences whatsoever, but it still managed to be its own thing. It was also thanks to its lore that I ended up liking Adam as a tragic figure a whole lot. And regarding how much thought was put into the lore, consider the description of beta cores, and how that can lead to Eve being able to use beta moves as well as doing a fusion-ha with Adam, or alternatively how she can beat Adam despite the fact he one shots Providence while still as a human.
My thoughs exactly. If we're only looking at what Eve does, it's a pretty straightforward story. If we look at what she inherits (humanity's story), however, it's so much richer.
I thought their mission was to capture the elder
It says "capture or dispatchment", so basically "dead or alive" in the opening dialogue but Eve (and Lily) seem to proceed with the understanding that the Naytiba are to be exterminated without prejudice. Adam also points out that its Eve's mission to eliminate the Elder (which is why fusion counts because it'd cease to exist).
That said, Mother Sphere's motivations are largely unknown. As pointed out in the first EVE Protocol entry, if she merely wanted to destroy the Naytiba, she could have just glassed the planet from orbit. It's also worth noting that in the two fusion endings she states the EVE Protocol has reached it's conclusion but makes no mention of it in the kill-the-Elder ending, meaning it may still be in effect. It may be that fusion was as much her goal as it was the Elder's and capturing the Elder would have facilitated that. It doesn't seem its destruction was off the table, however, and with the Elder gone she may have other contingencies to achieve her goals, which could explain the ominous return to the colony.
Yeah I hear 👂 u. just that when I kill Adam, Mothers sphere told eve she respects her judgement .(bitter-sweet) Made me think she was looking for a different result?
I think in her own way she cared about Adam (she even calls him "father') but it's heavily implied she sees things very differently from the rest of us so while his death may be unfortunate, she may not feel loss as we do.
Asian pie?
Not sure I follow.
