27:01 Thank you for pointing this out! Too many people give Geppetto a pass for what he did because 'he missed his son and it was out of love' and they don't realize how at the end of the day, he only wanted to make himself feel better. Rather than reflect on his actions and let his son rest in peace, he chose to defile him (both his body and his memory) and 'fix' him into his own version. He didn't love Carlo, he loved the IDEA of Carlo. And in turn he only valued the idea of P, which is why he rejected P the moment he didn't obey his command. Geppetto was never a good man, he was just good at pretending.
@hunterg.13005 ай бұрын
Eh, I believe he genuinely grieved his lost son and regretted the time he never spent with him. You can hear him mourn in the boss fight with the Nameless Puppet of how he "should have read him his favorite story" and been more present in his life. Problem was, Gepetto could not accept his failure and move on and sought to bring Carlo back to become a "proper" family. What he did was definitely psychotic, but I still can't help but to have pity and sympathy for the man. Maybe I just have a bleeding heart.

I think Geppetto did genuinely grieve over Carlo, BUT I also believe that he wanted his son to be this perfect image he always imagined him to be. This is clear by how, in the end, Geppetto starts degrading you the second you refuse to give up your heart to him and even says how Carlo was mischievous. Still, it's clear he did love Carlo, considering he eventually sacrifices himself.

This is an incredibly done work and I'm inspired to say why. I often appreciate the world-building and storycraft more than the mechanics of souls-likes, so I seek out these distilled narrative pieces. This is truly the gold standard of lore videos, and I hope future contributors to the genre use this as inspiration when crafting their own work. Your narrative was concise, you identified the driving relationships between characters and the factions, and your choice of accompanying footage and cutscenes were dynamic and non-repetitive, which is a pitfall a lot of novice documentarians succumb to. A lot of these more complex narrative games do force players to grapple with philosophical concepts, which means that secondhand retellings can get caught up in their attempt to describe all avenues of interpretation, often to the detriment of the story. But good stories use vagueness as a tool. You and your team did an excellent job understanding that principle, and weaved the questions of agency and uncomfortable truth in a very non-distracting way. Good lore summaries require excellent storytellers. For the sake of art, I hope everyone involved in this piece keeps expressing their creative minds.

I need to start by saying that you have done an excellent job with this video as it definitely describes the lore and the story the way it actually is. Here's the problem, I think whenever the story and lore gets narrated the way you have done it, the game sounds lackluster, overly complicated, and too far up its own @$$. It's really a beautiful game, a very VERY beautiful game that i recommend for eveyone to play. But really, you do not have to know all of this to have a deep and thoughtful understanding of this game... Experiencing it first hand will let you have that 😊 This story is a rather distant backdrop to what the game is really about which is much more simple and relatable. It is a deconstruction of Pinocchio, and fairytales in general, and I think it's done brilliantly. That's the brilliancs of it, it's that it's done in an artistic amd stylized manner 😊 You will think about stuff while you're playing it, but they won't be non philosophical or psychological in nature.... You don't need the full lore enjoy it, heck I'd argue you don't need any becasue even without the plot, the gameplay mechanics, level design, art direction, and sountrack are top notch. The plot? It's the adventures of Pinocchio by Carlo Collodi. Have you watched the Disney movie or are familiar with the synopsis? Good because that's all you need. I still appreciate all the effort you'be put into this video, and I highly recommend it to people who have already finished the game and are wondering "WTF did I just play?" 😂 This and many others that go into a deeper discussion about the symbolism and the references in the game because, like a true Souls, it's more than meets the eye.

*sigh* I love you guys. I really do. I believe I brought this up in another video. The main character isn't P, he's Marco. He's referred to as such throughout the entire game. The P in the title is a misdirection. The story of Pinocchio does play out in some fashion throughout the game, but at the end it's revealed the Cube restock character was actually Paracelsus. It's his lies that have brought about all the misfortune of the game, by giving the alchemists the Arm of God and seeing what they do with it. Ultimately searching for other sources of immortality. I haven't watched the whole video yet, so it's possible you're calling him P at the start as a misdirection for a later reveal. But if you aren't, then that is a mistake - and a big one. Not trying to be disparaging, just trying to help. If I'm incorrect and this is mentioned later, feel free to yell at me :).
@TheLorebrarians10 ай бұрын
I have future videos in the series that will tackle the Alchemists and paracelsus! I use P mostly because it's simpler than referring to him constantly as "Geppetto's puppet" or "puppet of geppetto". And there is no denying this character's parallels to pinocchio in the tales. So for me p=puppet=pinocchio. Now, as you stated there is another "P" in Paracelsus whose deception could be more plausibly linked to the title. I would argue it isn't wrong to refer to the playable character as P but I appreciate the feedback and possible confusion, hopefully can dispel it in future projects

There is no story for this game just bare bones set up but people seem to love lack of story in these dark souls clones

Dark souls is also a clone to 90s souls games so there’s that. Don’t put one game series over others and lessen a games value by saying it’s a clone or souls-like.

@@peachdaddyi def wouldn’t say dark souls is a clone to kings field lol I wouldn’t even go so far to say kings field is a souls like they are extremely unique in their own way. If you were to compare dark souls to any early from soft games you could argue armored core as it has the most crossovers L/R hand wep swap, stam management, weight, build types, story telling elements that let players speculate with the addition of hidden items/goals.

How does it not payoff on its setups exactly? It’s not like the game doesn’t have a climax and all of the main story elements are explained at one point. If anything it’s story is way less barebones than DS and even then saying DS doesn’t have a story is already bad faith, because it does.

Did you ever think about doing Warhammer 40k content? Has some damn dope lore
@Sometuy11A10 ай бұрын
I second this, would probably be the best 40k lore channel out there if he covered it considering how in depth his content is.
@TheLorebrarians10 ай бұрын
I have thought about it, but it would be a difficult niche to enter as there are several very popular channels covering the content. Also, a little daunting since there is so much lore and I'm not too familiar with it, but nonetheless a great universe!
