Its amazing that this game is 20 years old and people are still talking about it.
Myahh is basically an evil Alvis, an immortal AI manipulating the world for their own ends. The only real difference is that Myahh exists to serve her creator, while Alvis' priority is the universe itself and his goal is to boot the current mods for a new one so that the universe can stop stagnating.
Accidentally coming across a photo of Miang in the Zeboim archives while just randomly exploring was one of the most chilling experiences I'd ever had in a game. Even without a wall of text explaining what I was looking at I'd have pieced it together on my own just from the image itself, and the implications were terrifying.
I wouldn't say she is evil for evil's sake. It's more her agenda is intolerable to everybody except her and Deus, but all of her actions are for the sake of Deus, a cause she sincerely believes in and considers good. It's a difference of perspectives, and hers happens to be objectively bad for all but two, but because she is essentially a human computer program, she cannot reconsider her goal or care that it is bad... and if she could she would become a tragic character forced to watch the atrocities.
One of the coolest things about Miang is that she's positioned as a subordinate for the early portions of the game. It becomes increasingly more apparent that she's something more nefarious without too much overt/on-the-nose foreshadowing (which the game is quite guilty of). Great video!
Xenogears predicted modern women 20 years ago.
How any woman has it in their DNA potential to become Miang reminds me of how every bee has the DNA potential to become Queen. Although it's not unlocked randomly, but rather through communal selection.
Miang really is. after you learn everything about her.
To this day I still make purple haired assassin characters in games named Miang.
If you think Miang is scary, read Childhood's End - a book with some massive inspirations for Xenogears plot. The main villain (if you wanna call it that) is even scarier, both as a concept and as a character.
She is not EVIL for evil sake.
I think the scariest thing is that Miang is one the few villains that actually succeeded in what she aimed to do, really the one that fucked up everything is ironically Deus himself. Miang would probably be even more terrifying if she was working alone considering what she’s capable of.
You can write academic thesis papers on this game. Greatest story ever devised.
The Body-snatcher part of Miang is so unnerving. I fucking lost it when a certain thing near the end happened.
It was mentioned in Perfect Works too, that Myyah had 'reset' humanity 2 times before Zeboim. There's a second purpose to this.
Miang dies
She is essentially Jenova + Parasite Eve but...scarrier
When I described Miang I would just say Whitney Houston's I'm Every Woman.
I was shook when she said she’s the mother of all humans
Good video. The villains in Xenogears all really stand out to me and I like how they often have conflicting goals and will work to try and stab each other in the back. I hadn't really thought of Miang as being the main antagonist before, but this video has definitely convinced me otherwise.
