The fact that's Hugo faced the same way of death makes it even sadder that they didn't change anything at all

[@513Anonimka]

Maybe a way stop the Macula from returning again was to actually protect Hugo from the harm and stress earlier, from the people who wanted to use his power, so he wouldn't give himself up to the Macula completely the way he did? Because every time something bad happens to him, there's more destruction and rats. But when he's safe and with Amicia, he is in control (remember during the 6 months on the road nothing bad happened and they were okay). Only when he's experiencing huge distress again, he loses it. Isolating the previous carrier underground only brought the biggest plague, because he was in so much pain and sadness when he was all alone. When the Count "killed" Amicia, it totally broke Hugo and that's why it was too late at this point and he had to die to stop the final stage. But the ending also shows there's another carrier and plague coming in the future, like a neverending cycle. Many people say that Amicia was very selfish for protecting Hugo all the time, and that she didn't care about others, but at the same time she was also preventing Macula from taking over him and causing more destruction, wasn't she? She said many times: if you hurt him or take him away from us, this is gonna be the end for everybody. And it happened again because of the Count and his wife, who killed his mother and took him away from Amicia.

[@EldenLord.]

I really dislike the fact that they had Hugo die at the end. Not only is it really fucked up (slinging him? Really?) but it also makes the whole journey completely pointless. They can still make a third game with Hugo surving. The Macula would appear again either way.

I wish they didn't give us mixed signals or that amicia and lucas died too so that the would all go together. The only good thing about the 'modern time' ending was that amicia is dead now too so that she is with her family

[@sygmarvexarion7891]

Not the true origin. We still have no idea where the Macula comes from. Bassilius was just a host, doubtful he was even the first, he was just the first to connect in a really destructive way with the Macula. The Macula reacts to the emotional distress of the host, it empowers it. It's very much logical that previous hosts just lived and died without ever experiencing such distress, and so there were no cataclysms recorded to history before the Justinian Plague.

[@Steel-101]

You see that’s the problem with this game. It feels like we learned a lot and yet we’ve learned so little. We’ve done so much in the story but if you really analyze it, The story feels like a waste of time in a way. Most people say “that’s the point” but truth be told that’s not fun at all. Don’t do all of this awesome build up just to tell us “oh yeah it’s all hopeless” lol 😂. I’m sorry For the essay, I just do not like it when sequels leave so many unanswered questions

[@dazeyndrowsy]

@@Steel-101 It's not hopeless, though it is kind of a "doomed hero" story type There's no hope for Hugo, he dies in the end. But we know that The Carrier and The Protector CAN live happily, and that's what Amicia sets out to do with Sophia in the ending. Amicia and Hugo's story ended tragically, but Amicia can now make sure that doesn't happen for anyone else. If she's successful in figuring out where the next carrier and protector are, then she can prevent the deaths of millions. I'd say that's quite a happy ending. These kinds of stories are _not_ for everyone, but they have their appeal.

[@Steel-101]

@@dazeyndrowsy “there is no hope for Hugo”. You kind of repeated what I said: “it’s all hopeless”. Yeah it’s hopeless for him alone and that’s the problem. All of that work in the game for nothing and that’s a waste of time and money. That’s bad writing. They gave us so much info and build up throughout the games. Plus they leave so much unexplained. Like why didn’t the rats attack Amicia & Lucas when they made the elixir? Could they have made another one that would permanently cure Hugo(or at least find that one ingredient that could). It feels like the second game is a bit disconnected from the first one.

[@Steel-101]

@@dazeyndrowsy also yeah we stopped the rats from spreading but we still don’t know the origins of it. We still don’t know the solution to fix it. Sequels are supposed to give more answers not give more questions.

[@dazeyndrowsy]

@@Steel-101 Yeah I did rewrite what you said, all the efforts to save Hugo were ultimately for nothing. But Amicia's journey was not in vain, because she may get the knowledge to save the next people facing her situation. I will admit the open-ended-ness of the ending irks me too. Like what's the point of spending that money and all the time into completing the game if the ending is unsatisfying. If the game promised a bad ending, or something along the lines, then it'd be better. Also when I wrote the original comment I forgot "This is a story people paid money for and played through two games to experience." Which means I should scrutinise it harder lol

It would be great if the next game will give us flashbacks of Amicia, as we saw in the end, she was setting up path/clues/hints for the next carrier. Maybe we can also see the next carrier survive the Macula because this time the protector did survived unlike Aelia, maybe next time we can see both the protector and carrier surviving

[@davidthompson184]

I’d rather we see just hints and messages that Amicia leaves for the next character. Instead of full on flashbacks. However maybe they could show flashbacks where she is older, with children. And maybe the next Macula‘s victim is the descendant of the De Rune family.

People out here saying that Amicia and Hugo didn't change anything and that their fate was the same as Aelias and Basilius' are completely wrong imo. First of all Amicia survived which is an improvement over Aelias' fate and second of all they stopped the Macula from unleashing the next plague. In the end the most important change was that Hugo was happy most of the time while being with Amicia also saying that he loved it...something you can't say about Aelia and Basiluses last few weeks/months...

[@corypowercat7277]

True. That and maybe Amicia left more info for the next carrier and protector. Since writing was more common in Amicia's time than Aelia's.

[@majorevangelism]

I think the fact that Amicia survived is strongly being downplayed here. She also said that she would work to make sure the next host and protector have a better chance than her and Hugo. I'm thinking that if there is a next game, you will probably have to go on a journey to uncover whatever clues that Amicia undoubtedly left to tell her story.

[@Cringepalast]

@@majorevangelism I honestly think that the next Plague Tale is gonna be set in present time with what they teased in the after credit scene.

At least for me, it’s not that it was sad, it’s that there’s no point. If Hugo died at any point, it would have been the same, just with less deaths and destruction. So it’s just a massive waste, I beat the game and when Hugo died I wasn’t sad, I just said “why did I play this?” And there is no answer. There’s a point to other stories like this. This one just wants to be tragic and edgy for the sake of it. (And it doesn’t want to answer questions about it’s own plague) So I walked away, knowing I probably won’t remember this game in a few weeks.

[@aaaaaa-il3yw]

@@moonmoon2479 Well from a historical standpoint, you know before playing the black death did not stop. From a gameplay perspective, the story of Requiem is always about how you can't fight fate, depicted by how delusionnal Amicia is throughtout the game. Hugo has kind of always known it from the start, and Amicia, who at first discarded Hugo's dream, ends up latching on to it even harder than him. She goes from "science will save us" to "maybe Hugo's dream means something" to finally "the previous carrier who died almost a thousand year ago might be the solution". Every character around her, Lucas, the Magister, hell even her mom think it's doomed. All in all you're not playing from the PoV of a rationnal character, but from a desperate Amicia trying to win the unwinnable

[@Afdog]

@@aaaaaa-il3yw well yeah, but that’s part of the problem (for me at least) I can’t empathize with the character who is not just doing odd things - but actually is the villain and the reason of literally thousands of deaths. And that’s right from the start of the game First game was more cautious and didn’t show Hugo as the whole reason of this madness, plus there were lots of other characters who made things worse While here it’s not the case - we are the bad guys and destroy everything we touch (and the player understand this from the start, it’s not like a sudden twist or something, it’s just yeah - delusional and obviously overly aggressive Amitia who constantly say that she wants to kill everyone lol, so it’s really hard to relate)

From what i saw, the entire point of the ending was to learn to let go. Amicia went through absolutely hell in her adventure hoping to find a way to save Hugo, looking for every opportunity possible, and at every point of the journey she was subtlely reminded/warned that the only way to truly end this was to give up fighting and let it happen. But she pushed on and ignored all signs by hoping that in some way she wouldn't have to let go of Hugo no matter what, basically creating false hopes. And the consequences for that was condemning cities and people by accident due to her constant denial of the situation, it really is tragic... by the end of the story, Hugo had to pretty much convince her to give up and accept that he had to die or otherwise, the Macula would continue destroying everything and everyone they come across with.

[@GabbyPlaysGames02]

This, to me, was the saddest quest in the game to me. Not Hugo’s death, but this. I’d spent most of the game with a nagging feeling Hugo wouldn’t make it, but this was really it. I knew there was no going back. Sophia did, too, as did Hugo, I think anyways. Hugo’s fear, and Amicia’s insistence that Hugo keep going, despite how scared he is, was heart wrenching. She shouldn’t’ve put him through that. He shouldn’t have had to see that. But she was so desperate she couldn’t see what she was doing. I was honestly getting angry with Amicia by this point, but hearing the pain in her voice broke me. “You must live.” “You want that, but I keep ruining things!” Hugo was fine with dying if it meant no one else would get hurt. The selflessness of this child, coupled with Amicia’s denial. Well done, devs. Well done.

[@gdottothegamer1001]

Holy shit, I did not expect there'd be tons of crying babies here. I find it funny how people are mad that they killed Hugo because that means the game is now over. Like bro, not every game needs to be as long as the Amazon river or the Assassin's Creed. Some stories are better left alone after it's over. No need to continue milking the cow when the cow is dying. I also find it funny that people don't like the sad bittersweet ending. Not every ending has to be a happy rainbow sparkle one. I mean just look at the recent cyberpunk edgerunners with its bittersweet ending. People really loved it because it was executed really well. The same is here. It was executed very well. And if you're saying that the whole journey was pointless because they can't find the cure, then that is the whole point. They were trying so hard to find the cure, so much so that they forget that what Hugo needs is (or was) a good peaceful happy life, not chasing something that's not real. It also makes total sense considering that there isn't much info about the Macula. What do you expect, that there'd be magically a potion that could cure him just because.. yes happy ending? See, that makes less sense. As much as I love that kid, it was as clear as the sun in the middle of the day that kid would die at the end. So yeah, that's about it

[@mayosmayo4738]

Mfw the sad ending makes people sad

[@moonmoon2479]

There needs to be a point. Make a game this long when it doesn’t need to be, then tell me it’s pointless, yeah, I’m not going to care. It being pointless is the point, lol, massive excuse. It wasn’t executed well here at all. If Hugo died way earlier, things would have been better and this story tells me nothing. Cyberpunk Edgerunners had a point. The ending was sad, but it told me a lot about the world, cyberpsychosis and what Night City does to people besides V and Johnny and the rest of the famous ones. Had David died anywhere else at the end, the story wouldn’t work. Had David died with Maine, you’d lose a lot of that story and the point it makes. Same can’t be said for Hugo. What’s hilarious is that you say that Hugo needed a peaceful life. You don’t even know that. That’s a delusion by Amicia. Nothing says definitely that will be the case, that the Macula wouldn’t continue. (It already was in the beginning of Innocence) Hugo could still die, but there needs to be more than that. Because as it stands now, I really don’t care. Hugo died and it’s going to happen again with the same outcome. Boring. So there you go. I don’t find this ending sad, I find myself not caring, with the only thing of note being that Amicia gets added to the list of video game characters I wish I could kill.

[@khususgabut5727]

I dont know they just decide to made a long ass game with a theme to find a cure for the brother but at then end they slap you with "its pointless after all" like wtf. At least give us the optional ending like Good, bad or secret ending not this trash nihilism shit with no sense of achievment. Like bruh...

yeah i’m shocked that people thought there would actually be a cure. hugo even says at one point that he’s ok with dying. i think he knew as soon as they set foot on the island that he wasn’t going to live.

This story is basically asking the question "should you kill baby Hitler?" 👶 People are sad about Hugo dying because the game makes you care about baby Hitler and ignore the fact that his very existence leads to thousands of people dying. Even in this scene Hugo is BEGGING Amicia to let go but she refuses.

[@Schaemia]

@@Jos3-_m Hitler = is directly responsible for the deaths of millions Hugo = is directly responsible for the death of thousands (at least). He may be your brother, and none of it is his fault, but just by being alive he is effectively killing people. Amicia is willing to sacrifice a thousand lives for her own selfishness; even if Hugo himself realises the danger and asks her to take him out.

[@Peizxcv]

Rats are very intelligent and social animals. Medieval stereotype like this is what makes people mistreating rats

[@Bhoddisatva]

Granted that animal abuse of any sort is intolerable these stereotypes exist because they can be true too. In modern developing countries a massive overpopulation of rats can lead to crop devastation and famine, or the spread of diseases that can kill thousands. Its not just a medieval fantasy.

[@jessesoobramoney6529]

Requiem story doesn't make sense because the Macular has been pass down through De Runes family only yet if the first carrier and protector are the only family left had died then Amicia and Hugo should not exist. So in order to make third Plague tale, the first origin plague happen in Egypt after Hebrews left Egypt the Egyptians population are short thanks to plagues of locust, frogs and flies and death, they want to ruler the world and defeat the armies that tries to conquer, Egyptians wanted to use the power of the plagues and to weaponized it they created the Macular and the first carrier but it ends up destroying people of Egypt. So the first protector uses the ritual to show the third protector what would happen if she listen to Macular false dream to Hugo of a cure and sees the future of event of Requiem then......she wakes up to find Hugo and her mother alive, event takes place after part 1 so Amicia tells them what happen and finds out Macular curse origin through Egypt and travels there to learn more, Amicia do know what she is seeing but realized that she has a second chance of saving Hugo. The cure for Macular is the Staff of wonder, since Egypt does same staff into serpent power but cant do all it does because it contains divine touch. it also curse any curse or sickness so Amicia tries to find it which leads to the Jewish people. SO YEAH THAT'S MY IDEA PLEASE SHARE IS IDEA TO THE MAKERS OF TH GAME.

This was the worst thematic arc you could go for. Isn’t the world already a depressing place for a lot of people because of the pandemic? I’m only on the sea of promises chapter but had the ending spoilt to me. Kind of glad I made the choice not to finish the game. Beautifully told, and even better voice acted, but I would be furious by the time I reached the end. And why the heck did the developers think we’d EVER wanna sling Hugo or see that ending? Thematically, they successfully executed what they went for but it wasn’t worth it. These two games feel pointless now. Poor Hugo…
