I would go absolutely FERAL if there is a history book from the Stardew Valley universe. Like, i want to learn more about the world. I want to learn about the elemental war, i want to know more about zuzu, i even kinda want to learn more about the history of even joja and i HATE joja lmao
I have a headcannon that the snake fossil is a now extinct or endangered species of serpent, maybe the serpents in the dangerus skull caverns. Some of the features of the features lacking of the bones being made of scales or cartilage, the limbs missing from the snake skeleton could be explained as the bones were missing, or the snake is just a big snake lmao
This is really good! You did miss Sam’s 3 heart cutscene that you can get in year one. Sam mentions the Gotoro empire and calls them a “ruthless bunch” and Vincent says how he overheard adults saying that their soldiers were “being shot to pieces”. This is further backed up by Sam later saying that their soldiers were falling by the thousands. It’s unclear if Sam’s word can be taken at face value, as it could very well be just propaganda and what he thinks because his dad fought against them, but we can pretty easily say that the war is not going well on the Ferngill Republic side.
Ginger island was probably used as a resort before Willy’s boat got ruined. The remnants of the resort stuff is literally right on the beach. I also wonder who put the gem bird shine there
Great video, thank you. Qi is usually a Chinese word and is pronounced "chee" but with an overtone (a harmonic?) that my American voice was not trained from infancy to pronounce. But "chee" is the closest most native English speakers can get. Qi's meaning is described briefly as: Qi is a concept in Chinese philosophy, medicine, and religion that refers to psychophysical energies that permeate the universe. The word qi is polysemous and can be translated as "vital energy," "vital force," "material energy," or simply "energy". It can also literally mean "vapor," "air," or "breath"
I think using both pronunciations is cool, because while the Chinese meaning is neat I feel like his name being pronounced as "key" could take on some meaning. idk lol
I'm currently in the process of making an NPC mod, said NPC being from outside the Ferngill Republic. You are making my mod possible, thank you so much for making this. Like seriously, this video alone (not even mentioning your other SDV lore videos) has fed me so many ideas. You are saving my mod-making ass right now, thank you so much.
I really enjoyed your Yoba deep dive and this one too!! I really wish the game would have given us more of the world’s lore, I love how Stardew has a kind of Urban Fantasy vibe to its world building. Do you think Haunted Chocolatier will expand on it??
I love these lore videos from you! The game feels alot less self contained and small because of all the small areas you unlock plus all of the places that are referred to off screen. I would love a whole seperate game set within the same world but like as maybe a combat based game, or a story based game.
18:20 Also! In one of Sam[?]’s heart events, Vincent mentions overhearing villagers talking about the war, and that Ferngill’s troops were being “massacred”
I will say that if the locations on the map are correct, Ginger island and the Fern Archipelago are probably located in between the Gotoro Empire and the Ferngill Republic, as the Gem Sea most likely is only refering to the body of water in between the two. I doubt the islands are big enough to be seen in a map like that.
I've gotta disagree with your placement of Ginger island, in-game it is referred to as situated in an archipelago in the gem sea like you stated, now archipelagos are normally chains or clusters of smaller islands separated by lakes, rivers or the ocean, which wouldn't match with ginger island being one big land mass incredibly far from the gem sea. I also think that Prairie island is situated in the archipelago as well.
could the gotoro empire be based on imperial japan ? gotoro itself seems to be a very japanese name, and based on kent’s remarks about the food he was served (sashimi and algae soup) we can also infer the cuisine is somewhat similar to that of japan’s
Do you think thc being in the same world will be relevent? It'd be interesting if it was. Maybe i'm stretching though, cause I'm dying for any kind of hc news haha. Great video ❤
Concernedape commented on another CZcamsrs channel and explain what that cutscene was and who Dobson is. So that's pretty cool. It was the original opening scene
for a town called Pelican Town, there's literally no pelicans on sight
What about the pelicans on the beach
@@rameenshah3825 those are seagulls
@@AugustWurukkk I thought they were pelicans but man no pelicans in pelican town is crazy
I'VE BEEN SAYING
Perhaps they went extinct :(
It’d be very fun if Haunted Chocolatier is set in the Gotoro Empire. Kinda limits any references you could make, but it’d be cool.

This was delightful! On Kent’s hated gifts: he also hates all the warp totems. What were the empire soldiers attempting with those, I wonder…

CA refuses to confirm how he pronounces Qi because he enjoys hearing the different pronunciations

when i saw mentions of Zuzu City in SDV, it initially freaked me out a bit, because Zuzu has been my irl nickname for years 😭 lmao
you have a cool ass name haha
@@blairdactyl hahah thank you!
This is only the second Zuzu I've seen online somehow

17:52 A hated gift is a farm totem. In your logic they wanted to bring him back home multiple times but he didn’t want it

I'm literally so obsessed with the globe/world of stardew valley so this video is feeding into my theories

wait till haunted chocolatier drops, the lore will thicken

I just found your channel and I can’t explain it, but u just get my sense of humor to a T 👏👏👏
i love this so much!!! please make more of this
I keep wondering where is the Elven civilization, since there is an elven artifact?
12:02 lmaooo not the 🤢 noise for clint
why is assumed that ferngill is an island?
Loved this.
i don't think that's how you say archipelago but it may be a tomato potato situation
Ark-a-pel-a-go is how archipelago is pronounced.
Your voice sounds just like @cruelworldhappymind
Next video: Is alex secretly gay?
HELP PLEASE PLAY ANIMAL CROSSING I NEED TO SEE THE RAIN CAFE🔥🔥🔥🔥
