siffrin's slow realizations about touch and his relationship with it really hit me too as a fellow transfem, i think that subplot was my favorite thing from this game. when you're painfully aware of every single time you are and aren't touched, you start to realize that most people and writers don't think about it quite as consciously or as much of the time as you do, and so finding something that sees it like ISAT sees it is really special

omg hi! I've seen you under other folks stuff so I guess this shouldn't surprise me but it does. Something that struck me in watching interviews only too late was just endlessly joyful you are, and then the art you've created, and knowing my own experience. That's the euphoria every ones been talking about, but in respect to suffering and didn't know that someone could make that into a thing. I've barley the words for it, but give me a year. I'll get a couple extra 0s and... people will know I guess? Is that why I'm doing this? oh god. Thank you. I hope your doing well and I'm excited for whatever's next.

I think Sif’s touch aversion comes from his memory loss. He lost everything he learned from birth, and what being touched feels like and how to react is something we learn as toddlers and babies. So without that, any physical interaction becomes a shock and a mystery.

Mira is not only the rare ace, and even rarer aro and the doublely rare aroace but it's adressed well while not being her whole or even half her character & i got to point at the screen and go omg that's me TWICE! Siffrin being alloace is great and feels fitting but i'm probably biased. I very much feel for insertdisc5 who is also ace making TWO ace characters which seems low but srsly name 1 other story with ace rep with 2 ace main characters let alone 2 fully fleshed out ace characters

I love this game, but I must admit that I was disappointed with the direction they took with the story, I had a couple theories while playing the game that just seemed more interesting than what it ended up being: The King: I thought The King was Siffrin from another timeline. After Siffrin goes mad for not being able to escape the loop, he decides to end it once and for all, he learns how to use Wish Craft and Time Craft to an incredible extent, and he goes on to make the BEST loop possible, hang out with friends, speak with everyone in Dormont, get all the items, etc... At the end he proceeds to try and freeze Vauguarde, however because of the sudden manipulation of time to such a degree he accidentally sends himself to another timeline, creating a paradox, where Siffrin always takes the role of The King. There is only one plothole with this theory and it's the fact that, if Siffrin is The King, then who would the very first Siffrin be fighting, would he even meet Mirabelle and everyone else? The only solution I can think of is that Siffrin travels around all of Vauguarde, and being scared that all the other countries could disappear like his, he decides to freeze time Loop: Now I had a crazy theory for this one, we know that the country where Siffrin came from disappeared without a trace, while I didn't have any clue why this was the case, I thought the end goal was to restore it. So this is where Loop enters in the theory, it was said that in that country, they had a different belief, a belief related to astronomy, so logically, seeing Loop's design, I thought they were the deity that the country believed in, also, I thought Loop called Siffrin "Stardust" on purpose, because that nickname could've actually been the name of the country, Loop trying to make Siffrin remember the name of his country, Stardust, so that he could wish to restore it, maybe even along all of Vauguarde Anyway I'm rambling like crazy and nobody will read this entirely so yeah

Nah I prefer what actually happened. I was expecting Siffrin and the King to be the same person in some way or another, and I was really hoping that wasn’t the case. The King is the big bad JRPG final boss that everyone fears, and Siffrin is just someone in the hero’s party Plus it wouldn’t really make sense for Siffrin to become the King. Loop is the more natural endpoint. Someone who is so jaded that they can’t even remember their friends’ names and doesn’t feel a thing watching them die

i think the dealbreaker for whether you enjoy this game or not is whether you're okay with gameplay being sacrificed for the sake of story, and what lengths you're willing to have the creator go to. I don't care what anyone says, I am NOT sacrificing my mental wellbeing because "oh, well Siffrin is going through the same thing!" If I didn't get a few lucky breaks and had to take even an hour or two longer to finish the game, my brain would actually be cooked. Also, I think the Change God and Craft system are almost perfectly executed, if not completely so. I think it's a shame nobody in the game really challenges a lot of LGBTQ representation stuff, though. Every action has its equal and opposite reaction, and not limiting how people Craft their own bodies has a lot of pros and cons. It makes the world feel a bit less real, but I can understand if that's outside the scope of the game. In terms of the video, it feels more like an introduction to the game rather than a proper analysis discussing pros and cons. I think there are things to criticize about the game, and while it doesn't have a super wide audience and thus could use the extra exposure to outsiders who are not in the know, it doesn't feel right to not call it what it is; an introduction to a really well-made game.

Actually, if you keep interacting with Body Craft stuff, Odile will talk about how Body Craft is illegal in Ka Bue because they think that there's no good limit for it. Odile points out how the King is the perfect example of what she's talking about... but she also seems to disagree with it being entirely illegal.
@funderscoretoast32208 ай бұрын
@@LogOffAlready I think that contributes to both of our points in a way. I think the fact that Odile disagrees almost advises the viewer to feel the same way.
