This video was exactly what I needed, as chapter 5 has always been the one I’m most curious about lore wise. I’ve often wondered how the bull king was so powerful during wukong’s era but then became so weak by the time of chapter 5. This video does a great job of explaining it. Fantastic work!

Whoa, I appreciate your comment. Yeah his degraded state is drastically different from when he is shown in the first rebellion against the celestial court.
@mariapazgonzalezlesme4 күн бұрын
The Celestial Court took advantage of Bull King's attachments a.k.a his family as form of chain to keep him down. While with Wukong's punishment was more direct, my take is that Celestial Court decided that they couldn't use the same movie twice on powerful Yougai or else everyone could grown suspicious on their actions, which they went from a more subtle manner. This sounds pretty similar parallel with the Spider Clan, keeping the seven sisters in one place and use subtle manipulations to control them.
@unlistednaytiba4 күн бұрын
Yeah that's a good point about not using the same form of control twice. Good parallel to the Spider Clan too. They are confined to the Webbed Hallow correct? Is there explanation on how this is? Through the purple talismans?

@unlistednaytiba From what I gathered in other lore vids, the Easter Heaven and the Taoist needed to expand their influence, so they used the Spider Clan's skills in embrodery and weaving to craft beautiful clothing, this bussiness was lead by the Jade Emperor's wife and have revenge against for Boddishata Pilanpo for meddling.

Something that got lost in translation is Yellowbrow's dialogue throughout your fight with him. He perverses the Sultra scripture and quotes it to the players. For example, the "Tree Seals Mantra" (which is one of the most famous Mantra) is "All things are impermanent. All things are imperfect/unsatisfactory [...] Lay down the butcher's knife. Evil-doers becomes Buddhas on the spot" which got perverted and twisted by him into "All things are impermanent. All unsatisfactory leads to imperfect. Hold on to the butcher's knife. Even evil-doers become Buddhas on the spot." (This line got translated into "All conditioned things are impermanent and lead astray. Be a butcher, then be a Buddha!" which conveys the meaning but loses the culture/religious significance.)

I agree. Great concept. I think there could have been more flashback scenes to how the world was before once it as revealed about the Andro Eidos. It looks like they were going to use flashbacks - we got a couple early on, but then they were pretty much dropped from the rest of the game. Even though Sony picked up Shift Up and provided more funding, I think the problem with story delivery (I agree that the story was delivered in not the best way) has to come down to budget and not being able to develop things to provide the story in the best or most robust way.
@egontokessy161011 күн бұрын
@@unlistednaytiba I think if they have more of a budget they could tell a really cool story. As for a flashback I would like to see the war between humans and andro eidos or Raphael Marks speech that influenced mother sphere to do what she did to the organic humans. *Spoilers ahead for anyone reading I can’t believe Adam was Raphael Marks, that shook me. It should be in the cut scenes not just character profile.

I have had similar thoughts about Raven as well. As of now, a similar series it's drawing parallels to is Halo when Halo went from the first game to the second game in that Raven is similar to Thel (The Arbiter). Thel lost his faith in the prophets, then in Halo 2, we got to play from his point of view. Raven has lost her faith in MS and it could be really cool, as you say, to play from her point of view.
@egontokessy161011 күн бұрын
@@unlistednaytiba It could easily be done, maybe an andro eidos sees her and saves her life which in turn humbles her and rethinks what to do from that point forward. I think it could also be exactly like the Arbiter story and we see some real character development. I love these characters a lot.

@unlistednaytiba14 күн бұрын
Not sure if you are referring to the Mother Sphere Doctrine (all the lies about the history of the "humans"). It's kind of hard to explain cause the title of "human" is switched. So the original Andro-Eidos that lived with real organic human beings before Mother Sphere decided to kill all real organic human beings were always completely android. Once organic humans were wiped out by MS, the andro-eidos were called "human" by MS. But they are still 100% android. By the time of the game, Adam/Raphael Marks is the only person on earth with any real human blood/biology.

Another theme to be aware with levels is the relic sense itself and the failure of those who have them. With the Black Wind King he is blinded by his very greed (He cannot see the power the relic can give him) With the Rat King he is deafened by his own lies in a desert full of roaring sands and conflict. With Yellow Brow? The man in the valley of ecstasy, armed with a nose, or smell. A nose can indeed experience ecstasy. In a snowy land though, scents become hard to pick up. Blinded without smell, we miss the rotting pleasantries that Yellow Brow presents. Find the thing weakening that sense and you find the person plagued by a blessing.

Personally, I think Adam was going to straight up lay out his plan to Eve after she defeated gigas. I’m sure he was gonna take her to Xion anyways after defeating the alpha and it makes sense that after so long of looking for a perfect candidate he’d be willing to jump the gun and come clean right away. I assume that after lily showed herself Adam became more composed and realized he could keep up the lie until Eve was able to get the master core
@unlistednaytiba14 күн бұрын
Possibly. I did think Adam was going to reveal much more than he initially did because of the way he pondered and though to himself aloud after EVE defeated Gigas. I do think there is merit to him wanting to hold things closer to the chest and determine if EVE could be compassionate and humane due to his failure with Raven.

Enjoy your videos. The story is layered and fleshed out throughout the world. Something that seems to have been lost on many KZbinrs/reviewers. I found it refreshing that the script wasn’t stuffed with “marvel humour”. Eve is essentially a weapon, a terminator, and through her interactions with Adam, Lily and the people of Xion gains her humanity through the kindness she shows. If the fuse ending is to be the canon ending I am interested to see how her character will further develop in a sequel.
@unlistednaytiba14 күн бұрын
I agree - she is basically a terminator. I do like the way the Shift Up team developed her as a character, and I don't think she was ever supposed to develop beyond what she did in the game, partly due to your point in that she is a weapon. In terms of the ending, I actually also really like the return to colony ending as it opens up the opportunity for the sequel to take place on the Colony and to confront MS. But the upgraded EVE version also works quite well. Curious to see what Shift Up decides.
