Whoops, my bad! It just goes directly to the same "Stardust, I don't want you to!!!" line at 03:01, which is probably why I missed it during editing

​@@EldritchGriffin ah ok, thank you!

It's actually even harder to lose than you think, because you can't be under-leveled. Upon beginning Act 5, your level is set to max. On top of that, you can't switch the memory you have equipped, and the one you have in Act 6 regenerates you every turn. It took multiple tries before I was able to lose the fight

@@EldritchGriffin I remember my act 6 level being set back to my act 4 level? I definitely noticed not having Rock Bottom in Act 6 and this fight because Siffrin never reached level 80 and thus never unlocked it, only learning the skill existed afterwards when looking things up. I do remember being stuck on the regen memory for this fight as I did try and change it before entering. Mildly annoying how act 5 and 6 have set memories which are far from the most useful ones, but I get why narratively they didn’t want you to just equip enemies run away in act 5. If it’s somehow possible to reach this fight without reaching level 52 I think you would lose, but I’m pretty sure there are way too many mandatory fights for you to avoid leveling up to at least 52 since you have to fight every boss a couple times. Definitely would make the fight less of a pushover if you arrived at the minimum level though.

@@viviblue7277 Upon further research, it looks like Act 5 sets you to level 99, and Act 6 brings you back to your previous level. Weird!

@@EldritchGriffinIt’s so they didn’t need to balance Act 5 in case you speedran there. Would be annoying to kill a bunch of Sadnesses if you were only level 53 or so

Wowww you got a point!

hey uh i heard about a scene where you can look out the balcony/window of the house of change and see the northern island

@@toast_2375 It's at 0:03:40! It does have different dialogue in the other Acts though

I didn't even think to look at the souvenirs there; I'll have to go back for that. Thanks for letting me know!

You really should give it a try, it's so good.

you’ve got omori as your pfp so i can tell your opinion is a wise one

Isat + Omori... *Points* mental illness! /j

@@EldritchGriffin AND GAYY!!! don’t forget the gay

I absolutely lost it laughing when I finished watching this harrowing video and scrolled down to find the comment 'Loop Zoop'. Thank you for that.

Glad I could help!

There's no significant difference, as Mirabelle heals both you and them, I just don't like attacking them. Though maybe I should have so I could show it

If there's enough interest, I can definitely do the rest!

@@EldritchGriffin i'd be interested!!

I'm not sure how this is a Shadow the Hedgehog moment, but I can respect it

@@EldritchGriffin cuz he possibly wants to commit die in the sonic fandom due to some of the horrid monstrosities they made of him

While looking at the footage, I realized that I forgot to talk to the shopkeeper. Their dialogue is: "Ahoy, tra--" (No point talking to them.) (You're only in here to talk to Odile, anyway.) (You walk away.) "Oh, um, okay! May the Change God protect you!" Odile: "..." Any further attempts to talk with them will just give the line "May the Change God protect you!"

You actually also forgot to interact with the mirror picture, it shows you, and only you.

​@@AguaSentry196They show it at 1:13:12 , with the rest of the Souvenirs.

what happens if you try going to the clocktower before finishing the helpquests? ik thats kinda specific but i was curious if there was special dialogue lol

@@catticus6637 (Not right now.) (You have to make everyone stronger.)

I went back to play through Acts 5 and 6, and the dagger gets removed from your items pocket for Act 6. Act 5, however, has the line "Don't think about it." if you try to use the dagger on yourself (or anyone else). So, no dagger looping past Act 4 (Although, I did discover there's a slight change in the dialogue during the secret ending scene if you chose to use the dagger)

The only other instance you see the sprite during the talk with the Change God is even more chilling.

​@@crowsenpai5625 especially when knowing that change god is a 2005 4chan user

@@kingstonlovely7404 (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧

Out of curiosity, have you seen the Act 6 secret scene? If not, I think you'll find it very interesting... (though I won't say exactly why because ~spoilers~)

@@EldritchGriffin Oh of course I have. I was just trying to give a hint of the irony without spoiling it. As you know, Isabeau is The Defender as the menu tells us. Spoilers!!!: But he WAS called the Fighter in SASASA:ap, which is where Loop came from. But I could not say so without spoiling all of Act 6 ^^. They speak from experience.

This exactly. It's so much more serious than most other deaths, and understandably so

I actually remember rejecting the option the first time the game offered it and after seeing this… I made the right choice.

​@@kauedasilva1072 No, I completely understand you. In games, I usually treat death pretty lightly, so I remembered thinking the very gruesome notion of "I wonder if Sif can just off themselves on runs they think are hopeless. That can speed things up, right?" Having the game itself place so much weight on it gave me an "Oh god what AM I thinking?" when it came to making such a decision. No game has ever gave me such a pause. It's super effective in placing you in Sif's shoes, even giving you a moment of clarity in which you've gone through so many loops something you can consider "An easy way out" is seen as absolutely demented to an outsider. It's a good way to show the inherent horror of looping so much.

Nope. On the run when I gave it to the Head Housemaiden, I checked that I couldn't give it to anyone else first, and I don't think you can get the flower during act 5

@@EldritchGriffin you can get the flower in act 5! i don't think you cant give it to anyone, but it does mean you get to keep the flower in act 6 as a fun souvenir to look at

So true

Relatable

@@Cu-Copper DUDE THAT SHOULDNT BE RELATEABLE NOOOOO

​@@Cu-CopperDude u ok? Need to talk?

@@GL-hh1pv nah last time I did that I got locked up in an asylum

It’s a great parallel with the time with the first tear, when you choose to touch it. On that one, you DO give a lame excuse to have them not watch. It is a little different though, cuz the whole point of the dagger is to save time. If you have to make an excuse and walk away every time, then you might as well just find a different way to die. They typically are just a room away anyway.

Nope, you only get the one chance. I believe you also only get one chance to return it

I didn't either until I was making this. I went back to offer it to them again so I could record it and realized the dialogue was different. I had to start a new run to get the first line lol

The perils of wishing for help. The help goes wherever Sif wants, not Loop's. Ouch

If you use the dagger on your family members over and over, siffrin belittles himself saying "no you wont ever hurt them!" and ends with "haha! the intrusive thoughts are getting in the way of your suicide!" I believe..

(No.) (This isn't something to use on family members.) (Why would you do this?) (No.) (No!) (Stop thinking about it!) (You will never do it!) (NEVER!) <--at this point Siffrin stabs himself and loops. no special waking up dialogue. (Teehee, the intrusive thoughts are getting in the way of your suicide.) <--all subsequent attempts at using the dagger on the rest of the party

@@corvidaeae Yes ty!

@@corvidaeae oh wow that's really cool! (IN A BAD WAY!)

@@pinkcicle5247God that's awful, honestly kind of respect the inclusion of this mechanic to this game, it would be easy to not touch the topic at hand directly (being self harm and suicidal thoughts) but it feels so "right" as a natural development of the events of the game, it just also really gels well in a timeloop plot as the usual "can of worms" that can be found in that kind of stories
