Its funny how much Sarkaz just got away after doing all that. Like, "We got what we wanted. We are leaving now. Bye. Also we literally destroyed so much that your status as a Great Terran power is now open to competition to much stable states like Columbia and you are most likely never recovering from this economically." Also spoilers for the Siege2 event but after the Victorian crisis: the entire country just turned into a republic with a failing economy and the best they could do to get revenge is pass laws executing any Sarkaz inside of their country regardless of whether or not they are collaborators lol.

[@Orionis_Delta]

....... well that's horrible. (talking about Siegalter event)

[@SilentSpirit671]

I don't blame Parliament for making those decisions. Victoria got horribly screwed over by Theresis, the Sarkaz & Hypergryph.

[@bionicfactory1]

Well that is certainly a solution for dealing with the Sarkaz Well the fact Victoria is even still around after their capital was essentially turned into a radiation zone is impressive on it's own

[@Zeitzbach]

The best part about this chapter is really how it integrate story moment into the stages and side content and that's why I like the Siege part the most. When she finally activate the sword, you then move to the Confessarius stage and get a massive buff from the Sword Aura mid-fight really giving you a good idea of how much and how wide of an impact that one action truly has. The side content with the stat-based choice gameplay also have the event pop up as a big boost to every stat. Most of the time they just stick to introducing the gimmick and then the boss fights. I wish HG does more of it though I understand it's probably not easy to do so with an 8 to 10 stages limitation in contents outside the main story.

[@bionicfactory1]

They should definitely up the ante with the main stories. I'd accept side stories not being as in-depth but Babel showed the power of having a stage tell a story

[@Zeitzbach]

@@bionicfactory1 Let's hope they continue to outperform themselves with the next act. Even if the story start out weak, if the player can feel like they're part of the story and not just reading a visual novel then play a combat on the side, it will be a lot more impactful. And considering the slow start HG tend to have for their stories, they will absolutely need it to get people immersed if they don't want the first half to be a walking trip snorefest just to explain the setting the story will be taking place in entirely through text.

[@bionicfactory1]

@@Zeitzbach Yeah I hope they lay out act 3 to be more immersive. With the way they have been treating the Doc recently I hope that will be the case

[@VanDO-Vietnam]

I think the most on point for the mercs to listen to w was not she announced it but more like she announced it right after the "voices" of the Myriad of Souls stopped. Its stopping is weird and anything that happened after that is acceptable. Imagine you are a Sarkaz, fighting a meaningless war that you don't care about and don't want to continue on but it just so happens that a voice in your head just screaming all the time that you have to hate lives and the leader of your race tell all your people that you all have to fight A sudden relief from that voice and an announcement of anyone about that the war is over and you are free to leave is just more than enough reason to run away But I have to admit, the end is kinda easy and.... boring? Sorry for not knowing things but when do they explain why Theresa after revived decided to guide Theresis instead? Do you have any summary for that yet? Also, what side does Logos's mom and her group stand on in this battle? If I'm not mistaken then Logos is some kind of Sarkaz too? Did they not get involved in this battle in any way? Man, there are just so many subraces of Sarkaz and people just appear everywhere when they are needed the most that really confused me. And of course, did Logos break his old pen and whistle and get the new one from his mother?

[@ashen3093]

Logos mom and her group are Banshees, Banshees ARE Sarkaz race-wise, but I don't think they join conflicts in general at all except Logos, they live peacefully conservative lives hiding somewhere far: Convallis of the Banshees, Convallis = "The Valley" in Latin. I think he did break his whistle but don't know where you got that she gave him a new one or how? His mother was basically stalking him through a device to watch over him (...being overly protective? lol). They did not physically meet, she woke him up from from near death using just her voice - that's not far fetched considering all Banshees power stims from their voice, and her being The Great Banshee, kind of their queen, makes sense? IDK I don't think that device could somehow give him a new whistle on the spot though.

[@adz4528]

Yeah I mainly focused on the modes and max potting Theresa since I’m behind. Still, idm the rundown since it’ll still take some time til actually get to this point. But definitely interested on what they do with Theresis from now on and the event with Siege Alter. Who I really hope I get as a simp of her jp VA Kawasumi. Looking forward to the Path of Life vid. Keep up the great work.

[@Kaneki3678-s7s]

I absolutely loved reading through chapter 14 it started a bit slow, it took me 2 day's to get from part 1-10 of the chapter then the story went into full gear and i read the rest in a single dsy. Chapter 14 was peak and my man logos was the MVP+GOAT. I also absolutely loved seeing Amiya's progression as a character from chapter 0 to the culmination of everything that is chapter 14 shes one of my favorite protagonist in a game, and that cutscene for medic amiya was peak even better thsn chapter 8's gaurd Amiya cutscene, shes such a good character. And Theresa's send off was beautiful saying her goodbyes it was pretty funny when W was frantically looking for a camera to get a picture at the end.

[@bionicfactory1]

I absolutely love Amiya. She's always been my favourite character and I'm really looking forward to seeing her progression beyond Theresa

[@merelynstout7574]

It was cool story, but i cant still understand what is Myriad of Souls exactly, and that birth moment of Sarkaz from Teekaz, and what Kazdel's furnace is linked to all of this?

[@bionicfactory1]

The myriad souls are the Sarkaz's souls that couldn't join with originium Kazdel's soul furnace is the revenants of the Sarkaz rejected by the myriad souls burning to heat the city of Kazdel The connection between the Soul furnace and the myriad souls is that they were both victims of the first originium

[@RuneCarterCh]

42:09 agree, i somehow feel W is like a typical overpower edgy OC

[@trenasburn3487]

I think you are doing a good job, with first explaining the characters in the events and then explaining the story. About the event story. About the first connection of originium and the sarkaz, I was confused the whole event why only the sarkaz had this shared death-hivemind. I know they said it was because of the first sarkaz king catastrophe, but they could have highlighted that a bit more. The Dukes betraying everyone and each annoyed my at somepoint. For future events with victorian duke interaction, I would probably surprised if they don't scheme. I was also confused by the sudden end of the war. After knowing that it was all just to free the sarkaz of the course of the originium, the whole war felt kind of meaningless. But the minigame actually gave some good additional information. But still overall one of the best storys in Arknights.

[@bionicfactory1]

Yeah I had a whole section on the characters which by the time I had scripted the story section I just decided to cut it cause the video was already gonna be crazy long. The Dukes were seriously annoying cause they were only in it for themselves and by the time they started working with anyone the situation was already fucked. Only Delphine's mother had any idea of the bigger picture. But she got taken out early for her troubles. Siege had to pull it together for the home team. It definitely is my favourite story chapter. Despite any issues I have the story of Amiya and Theresa was fantastic

[@wendya881]

Thanks for the video

[@Ronnlaxo]

I wonder how the writers at HG would make a story that is gonna be the foundation for AK:Endfield story. A story about Terrans going to the planet of Talos 2. That would be amazing to see and would probably be my favorite story event including Vigilo, Lonetrail and Babel.

[@bionicfactory1]

Act 3 could potentially become the set up Endfield main story

[@beefystu559]

Still wondering where did the split Damaztii cluster that got interested with RI/Amiya go. Also I see insect wings in the chimera, wonder if there ever was insect like Sarkaz.

[@bionicfactory1]

The Damaztii cluster......................I genuinely think they forgot about them. I gotta reread chapter 13 to see if that one decided it wanted to play an observer role cause they were missing for the entirety of chapter 14

[@koroquette]

...Hm. I still prefer Lone Trail. I think it felt more cohesive and clean-cut, with a clearer message. While I understand that the main story is a longer work-in-progress situation... I just wasn't as blown away by the presentation, and thought it was ridden with shounen cliches. So it is what it is.

I hate how the Victoria Arc was handled & I wish things could've gone differently. In the end I'm left with a bitter taste in my mouth & I'm hoping Siege & the Victorians have their time to truly shine in future events. I'm happy Siege got to do something cool in the end & I'm now patiently waiting for the Vina Victoria event.

I was wondering about Theresa's soul, the thing I did not really understand : They managed to revive Theresa but couldn't separate her from the Myriad's soul and that's why she had to go with it when she freed it ? Or did our team just end Theresa's life for the second time in the Assimilated universe and that's why she also went with the Myriad soul ? Anyway, she's definitely n°1 wife for me, gone or not.

[@Buldrokkasteee]

Also yes, please continue making these videos. Not gonna lie I sometimes struggle understanding what you say with that accent of yours, but you clearly make a lot of efforts to speak as clear as possible. Your videos helped me understand a lot of things on the Lore

[@bionicfactory1]

It's kinda vague tbh It's what I think it meant cause I don't really see Amiya or W killing her Also Theresis seemed pretty convinced he would never see her again when she boarded the airship

[@bionicfactory1]

I will try my best to be more easily understood but you know how accents are. Thanks for the encouraging words

[@Seekerz3996]

I think she sacraficed herself to lead the myriad souls out, she took herself out to make sure they couldnt keep influencing sarkaz to commit to war. In a way, she achieved one of her dreams of freeing the sarkaz. Thats my guess. I miss my king, she was taken from us too soon. She should have came with us...

[@hasyarachmakautsar2174]

The fear of getting used again if she sticks around is definitely also there to some extent

[@Dukifun]

My honest opinion of the chapter 14: It was a great read. I normally struggle with visual novels because its harder to read than a normal book, wouldve actually enjoyed it more if it was layed out like a light novel with the illustration as a side note but at the end I rly enjoyed the story and was able to push through :D In contrary I dont rly like Theresis. He choose hatred over hope, abondening his sister, killing her, reviving her to just abonden her again. He is no "hero". He stands with the hatred and feeds the hatred over shown over the last couple of chapters even if there is a greater good in mind, I dont think he will redeem himself and I actually dont want him to survive. (If I dont missinterpret his actions) Ascalon vs Manfred is something I wished to happen. Manfred is appearing so often and I kinda find him annoying. It feels like he is blindly following the path of destruction/selfdestruction. I smiled when he got stepped by Ascalon to just get dissapointed that it was only a clone xD The thing I liked the most was the Amiya-Theresa-Doctor-Wiš'Adel synergie and reuinion/closure. On a sidenote, I rly loved the voicerecordings of Theresa we got in the event! It gave everyone and especially her alot of character. What made me cry was the world that the simulated universe created of the subconscious of the doctor. Its like: everybody of us wished for Ace and Outcast to be alive. We wanted Frost Nova to be part of Rhodes Island. It kinda felt funny that the doctors wishes align with the communities wishes. :D On a sidenote: Wiš'Adels name isnt pronounced Wisadel. The "š" is pronounced lie a "sh" in english, so the pronounciation is actually closer to the translated meaning of the name. So u pronounce it Wish-A-del. Aside of that she introduces herself when u recruit her, so u can listen to it in the operator records :D All in all great video! U have an easy to listen to voice! If u have fun doing those I would love to see older chapters/sidestories also :)

[@bionicfactory1]

Yeah the contradictions of Theresis are why I find him to be an interesting character. Like he's obviously chosen the wrong path but he at least believes it's the right thing to do. Also his relationship with Theresa is fascinating

[@Heinrich-nq2ep]

Theress should have lived. Although i dont find this as engaging as babel, its still really good. But i feel a little bad about how thereaa was so resilient and firmed about her shouce just to stray in ch14

[@bionicfactory1]

Well dying couldn't have been an easy experience for her especially after merging with the myriad of souls so despite not truly betraying her original ideals she had to do something for her people. Besides she had Amiya to uphold what she truly believed in.

[@alicjacaban2226]

This really reminds me xenogears .and kinda matrix .i willbe not suprised if we find out than all what happened Been planned.like this Architect moment from Matrix.youre anomaly Amiya😉

[@Bod154]

if you put ascalon in walter's role in the story it actually makes alot more sense, hypergryph just wanted to shoehorn w in for a game breaking alter. Ascalon actually knows theresa closely and theresa raised her into an assassin so the not so subtle implication that shes a mother figure makes more sense. W shouldof just been a side character the story itself literally tells you wisadel dont even know theresa that well before she died

[@hmson7i]

No...

[@Shelee69]

average Wiš'adel hater 😪

[@Fuwachi]

Yes a mother figure, then how is she gonna get her alter, like what reason? Just because "mother figure" ? Override her name ? Name given by Theresis? In fact by her nature Ascalon pref to be in the shadow which suit the side character. We have been seeing W throughout the main story, we have seen her a lot in Victoria arc. Ch. 12 Ines, Ch. 13. Hoederer Ch. W. The trio. If your reason just because mother figure, might as well make Theresis playable because he is Theresa's brother lol Ascalon deserved more care how she involved in the story and the hug from the last scene with Theresa, but not alter.

[@Bod154]

@Fuwachi you missed my point im not saying ascalon needs an alter im saying she fits the role walter is in better. Walter had no buildup to why shes obsessed with theresa so much even though she barely knows anything about her, shes somehow more upset about theresa dying than fucking amiya and the relationship feels so forced just so she can get an alter. Whereas ascalon had proper buildup and clear motivation to why she would want to meet theresa again. Im not talking anything about ascalon needing an alter if anything i dont like alters
