[@The_Slumber_incident]

Hey, it’s you 👆

[@TheWhatisthiseven]

16:17 Something I'd like to point out, Ending A is rather blatantly a criticism of the real-world Digital Age, and the Internet. The internet, like Logic, is a repository of all human knowledge, and can be accessed by anyone. And yet, despite the purpose of the internet as a way to connect people and share knowledge and experiences, it has also resulted in insulating behavior and depersonalization, which exactly what is said of Logic and the future it brings.

[@yum9918]

This. Seems less like the hivemind/loss of individuality scenario that we saw a few times, and more of a hyper-individualization, self-isolation and curated reality that reflects what we see today.

[@mollystewart-gallus537]

Yes but it's a little more complicated. Logic is not just the internet but postmodernity and hyperreality. In F&H 2 Rher surfaces our shadow selves. In particular, Rher surfaces the Sulfur God, the shadow of Almer. But Rher does not create our shadow. Rher is not really our enemy. Logic who ascends under Rher pulls a similar trick. Logic echoes Rher in sharing our unconscious. But Logic isn't responsible for our shadow. It's more of a you cannot shortcut enlightenment sort of idea I think. The internet reveals much of our darkest shadow but does not create it.

[@VeritabIlIti]

​@@yum9918 that "hyper-individualization," as you call it, is one of the late stages of neoliberal society driven by rampant capitalism: people become less distinct because they believe they are MORE individual, isolating them while also removing their tendency to think, ironically, as a true individual. We are never as original as we think we are, and those who can see that facade stand to gain from it.

[@FiggsNeughton]

@@VeritabIlIti Rampant materialism of any kind.

[@Cooe.]

It's not really criticism though. The game mostly portrays Logic as a net positive for humanity, the same way the previous Age of Cruelty had been. That the negative consequences are worth it in exchange for advancement of humanity and real forward progress. Most people would argue the same for computers and the internet. 🤷 Hell, most would argue the same thing for capitalism, which has unquestionably pulled more people out of poverty than any other innovation in the history of mankind despite having some obvious ills. Real life isn't so damn black and white.

Max: Let's take a look at the lore of F&H2. Minutes later: Oh, it appears I inspired the lore.

[@juancgonzalez6537]

In my head cannon, F&H3 could be a follow up in the future where Logic not only remains active, but pervasive in human lives. Most of humanity has merged with the structure as a means of connection, control by the state, or a means of enlightenment through a literal means of merging vessels. I could imagine in this day and age, the gods are near completely forgotten as Logic has dominated overall. However, with a stagnation of philosophical and religious presence, an erosion of spirit could emerge. With a lack of identity, the individual minds will degrade into monstrous beings that could only be found in moth eaten books that are considered antiques. Since most people are hooked to Logic, I can imagine there is some sort of life support, so production of ready made food is sparse. Those who haven't see the real world in their lives won't know how to navigate it. Those who lived in Logic will see the terror of their friends and family corrupt into monsters. The collective unconsciousness may try to develop a safe haven where they can retain themselves and each other. Wouldn't it be neat if that Haven was Ma'habre? It was always there, it just needed a medium to exist in. Just a thought

[@martonszentkiralyi2251]

I hope Vinushka, the god of nature and the logic god will have more pressence in the third game, maybe set in a cyberpunk hive city nightmare and/or solarpunk feverdream with themes about humanity's complicated relationship to nature and technology

[@Mantosasto]

That's what I thought a third game could be about. In the first game we end an era with the birth of a new god, then the second game is about the end of that era ending it with yet another god being born. The third game could be set in this new era which would be more futuristic or at least modern.

[@Bellriver1]

I would definitely expect Vinushka to take a bigger role but for a different reason, along with the other old gods. Perhaps the next game will be set in Vinland, the nightmarish land of perpetual darkness closely tied to the old gods, a North America colony that remains mostly untamed by 1942 in game.

[@cdru515]

To be fair, there are hints that Vinushka was replaced by Logic, but I still suspect that the third game will focus on the consequences of Logic's creation

[@martonszentkiralyi2251]

@@cdru515 I interpret it as an attempt to replace Vinushka, but he represents all natural cycles and biological life, as long as these are present he won’t be forgotten and will have influence. Might be a HUGE stretch, but Logic could be an aspect of Vinushka since it represents a very drastic change and human nature

Enki ultimately proved that humanity could embrace their shadow self and come out with their mind and humanity intact in his S ending. Logic, as you mentioned, would eliminate personality and keep you trapped in a dreamlike state, which is ultimately no better than the new gods being trapped in that dining hall.

[@MagicalTalkingPony]

With the Shadow/Unconcious Self, I can't help but think about character's Moonscorched forms, and how some of them almost seem like a reflection of what they dislike about themselves. Levi's Weeping scope form is like how he was formed into a weapon by the state, Olivia's Mechanical Dancer being entirely metal, Marcoh's Giant being a massive brute with clubs for hands... And Daan, being Pocketcat, who actually seems to accept his transformation, does that make Pocketcat a Perfect Self, in some weird way?

[@SerbianSpark19]

Nah i think pocket cat just possed him due to trauma you tellin me that Dan who isnt a pedo becomes a pedo

[@dumbsterdives]

theyre like a grim version of the Shadow selves in Persona 4, which, hey, another deeply Jungian series. Another notable one is Abella's Chaugnar being incredibly muscular and masculine, likely representing a repressed (since she doesnt seem particularly worried about it prior to turning) insecurity about her perceived lack of femininity.

[@buntado6]

That ending, yeah, the idea itself of merging by definition must have an opposite, separation, and both must be balanced. A merging where individual disappears in favor of the collective is not ideal, it's a merging done wrong. It's why the Marriage of flesh becomes more of a wretch the more it's practiced, the union of male and female is not supposed to be the literal erasure of sexual differences, and I grow more convinced that it's a resentful selfishness what drives it, the goal of never needing to rely on another human being. For them, needing something your body is incapable of providing on it's own is unacceptable.

Watching you'r videos are a delight, I feel like I not only learn more about philosophy than I did at university, but also understand the concepts far better. And I start seeing the patterns elsewhere as well. This video also reminded me of Hollow Knight, where the Radiance gave "Unity" (possibly similar to the Logic ending in FaH 2) to the moths, but they ultimately abandoned "Unity" for "Higher Thought" when they met the Pale King. The Pale King later used a Vessel (the titular Hollow Knight), a union of opposites (the shell of a Higher Being and a heart of Void), to seal away the Radiance. There's a lot more nuance to the story but the gist of it has a lot of familiar symbology.

What I have gleaned from your videos, writ large, is that when videogame developers want to get occulty/deep, they build a lore based on Jung's theories that I basically describe as "explaining psychology by applying mythology tropes" lol. It all feels secretly real, cuz the psychology it's based on of course feels familiar. And since the psychology reminds us of things we have experienced in our own lives, we assume the rest that doesn't feel familiar, must also be true. And thus the sensation that we're becoming party to deep dark mysteries. Your analyses are always spot on, but, game developers really love the Jungian occulty well lol

Trivia: Perkele is a finnish swear word, sort of the kind of "goddamn!" It is related to the christian devil, and in modern times is thought of as a synonym. Some researchers believe that it was also used as the name for the supreme god in finnish pagan beliefs and pantheon, commonly known as "Ukko" the thunder god. Haven't played the games, so can't provide any more input or analysis on the name. Of course, could also just be an easter egg kind of thing since so many non-finnish speakers know perkele as a finnish swear word ^^'

another thing to consider on the Conscious vs Subconscious is the other model, in which the conscious mind has two components, the Ego and Superego, The Id obviously matches the Shadow of Sulfur, and Superego being morality and religious beliefs matches well to the divine and kind Allmer, so we are left with the final one, Ego, which represents Logic, 3 guesses whos that part

But this video made me realize Rher's festival was the perfect point in time because his dominion is the mind and *dreams*. With logic prioritizing the unconscious and conscious for union.

Something interesting I noticed is that this extends even further than you explored in this video. The person who becomes Logic, Reila, similarly mirrors Alll-Mer in certain ways. Namely, and the wording is very interesting here, her sister Olivia possesses the Shadowed Soul. Olivia has the most unique reaction of any contestant to equipping a firearm for the first time, feeling like it makes her powerful. In Olivia's backstory, we learn Reila had a relationship with a college professor who turned out to be a member of the anti-Bremen resistance group, and this is how Reila is recruited to their cause. Olivia also specifically has the choice in her background to be jealous of this relationship and attempt to break them up or "steal her man away". Reila is eventually captured by the Bremen Empire (also similar to Le'Garde's imprisonment by the Kingdom of Rondon), but her story eventually leads her to Prehevil where she puts herself in Logic so that Kaiser can't, thus essentially sacrificing her life, humanity, and connection to her family, casting it away, to become an Ascended God. I feel like there's something here, but like most things in this game series it's done mostly by subtext rather than outright exposition, but I found it interesting nonetheless.
