@@omensoffate there are the 3 we see for the majority of the game: “fei” (created by wiseman to shield him from his past trauma) , Id, and the coward (fei was he was born). When fei went in a coma he unwittingly created a fourth “blank” persona that took control bc Fei wanted to withdraw. This prevented Id from taking control which is how all the personalities were able to talk to each other, understand each other, and become one. So it’s an unnamed persona

@@carfo the person he hears while in ids subconscious is citan words when talking about elly I thought

@@omensoffate here is what Id says while in that subconscious state. Keep in mind, the "Fei" he is referring to is not the Fei we know, but some other random persona Fei created, similar to how he made Id, but this one is blank since he's in a coma. When Id says it's a "usefull form of resistance", he's talking about his inability to maintain control. Then, for the first time, he learns about how Fei's mom saved him at the last second--something the 'coward' (OG persona), hid from Id. This was the catalyst for all their persona's merging and the Contact becoming whole (unlike Grahf who was incomplete due to his transmigrations) Id:I misjudged you. I didn't expect you, the fake personality, would create a fourth persona. Fei:Fourth persona? Id:He can't feel anything. He's shut up inside your ego. The pressing facts and truths you won't face. You're afraid of them, so you desired to completely shut yourself off from the outside world. And so you formed a fourth persona. A fourth 'Fei'. The name... doesn't matter. He's the one on the stage now. He's the one in control of our body. But it is a useless form of resistance. Come with me!

@@carfo shoot I forgot that segment thanks for responding to me. I think my issue is it comes out of nowhere and not really explained because of the disc 2 fiasco. I’ve been watching your vids recently and enjoyed them quite a lot. Thanks for the response!

@@omensoffate the Xenoverse is deeper than people most realize. It does take a LOT of research to fully grasp bc the writers used so many concepts from philosophy to psychology to literature and threw them in a blender, hit the puree switch, and it outputted a script. A great one at that.

Unfortunately, no. Square never cultivated this IP and the studio that headed the project left to for Monolothsoft.

@@jestaboss from “perfect works”, a compendium released by its creators after release. You can find an English translation online easily, worth checking out as it contains a lot of info not explained in the game itself

@carfo do you plan on making videos on everything in that book? If so, I'd watch it religiously. I just got done with you Grahf and am now on krillian. It's binge watch all of it. You do great work.

@@jestaboss thanks, right now my focus is on an analysis of Deus. It requires a lot of research in philosophy and psychology so it takes some time to comprehend and put together. I might analyze the book one day but I’ll point you to a podcast called Retrograde Amnesia which does a good job of covering perfect works plus an entire analysis of the game

@@carfo i really appreciate cha. I've subscribed and all. I've loved this game for over 2 decades and have felt it never got the fame it deserved. Since a remake will never happen, this awesome ass channel of yours will make a nice replacement

@@jestabossty I make these vids for a hobby so I appreciate the kind words

thank you, i rly appreciate the feedback

Who cares

@@electricchair will do! I struggled to put a picture to what I was trying to convey since there isn’t any visual references in the game for that scene

@@carfoyou are fine ignore it

1.) What set of ethics are you appealing to? 2.) The music industry had a conniption fit with Napster, but the world adjusted to the technology. They fought and sued and fought some more. For years. And lost. Same will happen eventually with AI art. Your are NOT putting this genie back in the bottle Use whatever tools are at hand, IMO. We're talking about an almost three decades old game. You aren't taking food out of anyone's mouth.

Mostly just people commenting on my videos lately about how much they enjoyed it. I like making them too but the research and script writing is something I need to get really motivated to do

I’ve searched forever. Nothing

It depends on how modern, I hope in Metaphor ReFantazio but over the "recent" years Kojima, Toby Fox, Yoko Taro and other extremely rare authors, have been comparable.
