Legacy Of Kain Defiance Retrospective

[@brittanybecker170]

Raziel's last lines to Kain are the best ones in game history. "And I am not your enemy. Not your destroyer! I am, as always, your right hand! Your sword!" In a medium where vengeance is such a cliche motivation, we have it conclude in understanding, forgiveness and empathy. Beautiful!

The true legacy of Kain's Defiance, is that the series resides within the hearts and minds of fans new and old. Great video (and retrospective overall). If there ever is a new Kain game (or remake/remaster etc), I hope the devs dedicate it to the memory of Tony Jay.

[@RealityPerceived]

Still some of the best vampires in fiction till this day. Can't wait for them to continue the series.

[@arkham666]

Yeah I'm pretty excited to see what's next for crystal dynamics. Of course I want more Kain but honestly anything they put out will perk my interest now they're unshackled from square enix.

[@TheRatzor]

The ending in defiance so great because Raziel was set free when his Reaver enter kains body and healed him, its so brilliant that ending because in a single scene he imprison himself and free himself at the same time I Guess you should say Raziel soul lived inside kain after he disburse the Reaver into him but well never know if he could have returned or he just cease to exist after he heal kain

[@SamuelBlack84]

The two-part fan animation Lost Chronicle I feel is a very satisfying end to the legendary Legacy of Kain that gives all the anti-heroes their final happy ending

[@veesivor632]

I think Defiance might have been the best game of my childhood. Yes. I replayed it many years later and wow. I think the Jak and dexter series hit me harder but Defiance is the only thing I can recall that stands up to Jak or anything else. The Frankenstein book is on the same level.

[@Giru]

Just finished all your LoK retrospective videos; thanks a ton for this, it was great diving back into these games and hearing your passion and love for the series. The dramatic pauses, the choice of clips... it all really came together amazingly well to showcase the franchise and the greater narrative. I first played LoK:Blood Omen on PC back in '98 and it was an absolute game change for me and I was hooked on the series ever since (though I don't have much love for Blood Omen 2, if I'm being frank). While the series will never get the complete wrap up it deserved, you reminded me just how much of a great send-off Deception was, how the games were one of the most unique and original "hero's journey" for our beloved anti-hero turned antagonist and how, perhaps, it's best the story ended as it did instead of greedy hands potentially ruining it. Thank you for pointing out the amazing vocal talent on display, something that often goes unrecognized and underappreciated, it certainly made me look up the individual artists and hear more about their body of work and finding out that Tony Jay, the iconic voice of the Eldritch Horror known as Elder God, passed away almost 2 decades ago, what a loss. Anyways, great videos. I wish the YT algorithm rewarded great content like yours more generously, it sucks that I had to find your videos by searching LOK material and scrolling instead of getting this recommended, but hopefully a like and comment will add to the many grains of sand already there to boost your notability ever-so-much. :)

[@scottwoodward7103]

22:49 Mobius is one of those characters that has been expertly crafted for the audience to hate, and the double whammy of comeuppance served out by the two playable characters is one of the most satisfying moments in gaming.

[@arkham666]

That's good writing.

[@mustafashelby5683]

Before I start I just want to say that thank you for making this wonderful videos, they are really well made and well put together, I ended up watching all your Kain videos because of how good they are, and will surely watch your other content aswell, you have really an engaging style, well done my friend One thing I would like to point out is that the fate of the pillars wasn't resolved and the story was going to continue before the 6th game was cancelled But thankfully one of the artists who worked on the series actually sat down one time in a Facebook group of Legacy of Kain and gave us some insight into what direction the series would have gone (Also some other artists and developers who talked on different forums and sites) The 6th game (Called Dark Prophecy by one artist and Blood Omen 3 by another artist) was going to take off where Defiance ended and continue Kain's journey to restore the nosgoth, Elder God was a parasite who had taken over the wheel and spred itself over all of nosgoth so he was too powerful to be defeated, Kain was going to keep powering up the Reaver and fight roots of the EG in different parts of the world and find ways to destroy him and restore the pillars/future of nosgoth Raziel also didn't just purify Kain's sight, but also purified him entirely, Kain was no longer corrupted by Nupraptor's curse, meaning Kain now could sire healthy vampires and they wouldn't devolve into monsters, the vampire race had a hope to live on and scion of balance was finally ready to fulfill his vampiric role and restore the nosgoth, the sequel also would have seen the return of many characters such as Janos, Ariel, Seer and many more, the younger Kain would have appeared aswell (with some speculating that it would have been a dual Protagonists game with two Kains, similar to Defiance) also return of some locations such as Malek's bastion and Avernus, and return of some powers such as the wolf form, beast form, must form and also some vampires that strangely resembled Raziel, it was also going to explore more of the Hylden as a race, Vorodor's resurrection also being explained down the road and soo much more The story was far from over and there were was soo much planned, but sadly the mediocre sales of Defiance, and also Squire Enix buying the IP killed the franchise, and it has been dead ever since, to be honest it still hurts what happened to it, but the LoK still lives on and we still passionately love it, like we have always said "As long as single one of us stands, we are legions"

[@arkham666]

Hey man thanks for all this info. It's tragic we never got to see the series continue but who knows what could happen in the future. There's positive news surrounding Deus Ex now so maybe Kain will finally return after all. Either way this was a hell of a climax. Glad you liked the video anyway. Peace.

[@scottwoodward7103]

6:26 That exchange to me sums up perfectly how Kain and Mobius are both supremely fatalistic but live on opposite sides of that fatalism. Mobius here is almost passive in his assurance that he will not die. He says "This is not the time or place Fate has determined I meet my end, so I will not die." He leaves his life completely in the hands of fate, almost passive in his acceptance of what will happen. Kain agrees this isn't when he dies, but frames it very differently. "Death is not the only possible outcome." In other words, Mobius is not going to die because Kain himself chooses not to kill him because he has something to gain from Mobius by letting him live- information. Later on he casually kills him without a second thought, noting that this time he has nothing to offer. His attitude towards Fate is very self-centered. Even though he knows Fate is set in stone, he seems to place the weight of it all on his own decisions. Like each moment of history was a series of coldly calculated decisions on his part that led to the best outcome he could devise, and when he wasn't satisfied with the ending despite those calculations he went back to get a better one.

Vae Victis my friend! Love your reviews, thank you for keeping these gems in our minds!

[@TheBeird]

I vividly remember the morning this became available, and how I went into town first thing in the morning and got back right away to play it Did not disappoint. It’s a great finale. Answers most of the questions raised before - Blood Omen 2 introduced too many non-sequiturs - and gave me closure. I know fans want more, but honestly, Kain arriving at a point where he has hope seems like such a perfect end point. I fear if the series continued, it would become more about plot than story. What I mean by that, is it would just be tying up loosed ends rather than being about anything. Yeah, we could find out how Vorador came back, and see Kain destroy the Elder God. But then what? It’s just a list of stuff that happens. Defiance ends with a definite statement on its gnostic thesis introduced in Soul Reaver. We leave Kain with a sense of hope, because hopefully our eyes have been opened to abuses of power by structures of belief, and we can navigate our own way through life with the hope we can do better. While I’m sad lots of people’s hard work got scrapped, I’m glad Dead Sun didn’t get released. I don’t want Legacy of Kain to be forgotten. But I don’t want it diluted by becoming another franchise

[@chrisbird4913]

The narrative influence on the industry as a whole is understated. LOK showed true drama and art, showing the medium is capable of telling stories in a unique way and by characterising the cast through motivations and following through with fantastic writing and dialogue set the stage for the medium to be taken seriously after a long struggle of being seen as a child's pass time.

[@axel6232]

Vae Victus! Honestly, I am glad people are still discovering these great masterpieces of games, and I really enjoyed seeing your take on them. It's just such a shame that if there was to be made another LoK game now, there would have to be voice actor replacements because people like the late Tony Jay (rest in peace) are no longer with us and it is a shame here, because those voices were a major part of the atmosphere for a lot of people. There is however hope, because I heard Crystal Dynamics got hold of the rights to the Legacy of Kain ip rights again, along with other ips (I think Tomb Raider was one of them) and they made some sort of poll, asking people if they would like for a new Legacy of Kain game to be developed. That doesn't mean that a new title is being developed, yet, or that it is going to be a continuation of the story we all know and love, (in fact the poll asks you if you would prefer for the game to be a remake, a remaster, a sequel, or a reboot) but at least the ip is not in square enix's hands, as it has been for so long and nothing has come of it, or if it had come anything of it, it would most probably been that stupid Dead Sun game. Well, at least Nozgoth came out of that canceled game, and it seemed promissing in style at the very least.

At 26:11 you said "there's 3 Raziels here now" but there's actually 4. Raziel the wraith and the wraith blade are 2 versions of him. Then there's the Reaver blade and also the Soul Reaver combo itself. In the beginning of Sr2 when Raziel is resisting the blade to kill Kain, there are 3 versions of Raziel at that time. From Sr1 to the end there's at least 2 Raziels on screen at the same time throughout the entirety of each game. It's rather confusing and super awesome.

Vae Victus!!! In my personal head canon Kain just becomes the true guardian, becoming something Truely divine rising above his Vampirism into a sort of Godhood. Does battle with Hylden Lord in the form of Janos Uldrens body and effectly reseals the world off from the demon world becoming the seal itself in the form of an actual god.

[@Kserijaro]

Commentary about your End of "Gameplay" section. The games you took are happening in wastly different times and circumstances. In Soul Reaver 1 - Nosgoth is at a brink of being overtaken by Alien Demons, sealing the Hyldens victory. The world is barren, and the vampires scattered as they devolve- There is only mention and in game showcase of a hidden Human city as the last hope for sentient life- off course there will be no enemies Soul Reaver 2 takes place when both sides were brimming with ranks - Vampires and Mobius' Vampire Hunter army. There were cities, pillars still fresh with corruption, starting their decay. There is life, vegetation and squads everywhere. Resonable that there will be more enemies. Defiance: Happening both in uncorrupted Past- brimming with life in peak Sarafan age and far flung future where Hylden rule. They posses CORPSES to fight as the pillars still lock them dimensional. It is a fulcrum upon which all existence swerves and thus it has most strife and combat. In my opinion the abundance of enemies is a great subtle way to present what happened to nosgoth. Soul Reaver 1 was suposed to be a desolate, barren dead world. And it feels like it. Enemies are scarce. Vegetation is almost fully gone and there are no critters. Few devolved vampires scavenging around dying citadels of their leaders, and humans scampering away. Stark contrast to what past and future Nosgoth held.

Ever considered a retrospective on Shadow of the Colossus? Just because I'm lazy, and despite owning it, I never really bothered to play more than about 15 minutes of it x

[@arkham666]

Yes but I'm strictly a PC gamer. I could probably play it through pcsx 2 but I feel like it's more updated versions should be covered as well.

My main gripe with this game is very stupid, I must admit. Raziel's take on the Soul Reaver. Why is it a sword and not a punching spike? I miss the punching spike.

[@arkham666]

My guess is they got a bigger animation budget lol.

[@madcat789]

@@arkham666 they could've made a fancier spike with that budget! With bells and whistles and even more souls screaming in abject torment!
