It doesn't really seem to be about freedom of expression so much as allowing rockers to freely express themselves and punishing everyone who doesn't personally play rock, so the ending of "And then everyone gets along at the end" sounds super tacked on and like they realized at the last second they were guilty of the same snobbish elitism they seemed to be critiquing with Eve's character.

@@imaniislander755 Totally in that agreement. Sayu's creators are a group of young college students who came into the Music industry a little too early and likely felt a lot of pressure and anxiety from it as it showed them already breaking down near the end of the boss battle. It is likely they neglected their studies just to focus solely on Sayu as she is their future. Yinu is the same only much younger and very much in distressed as she and her mother just lost their patriarch of their family and are cooping their grieve with music and fame yet it kept them feeling distant from each other until the very end.

It's also really refreshing. It seems like most political messages boil down to, "Only my world-view is right." and it's terrible. Strictly following one line of thinking while shutting out the concerns and ideas of others leads to regression, not progression. Lean too far right, and you leave yourself vulnerable when change is necessary for the wellbeing of others. Lean too far left, and you risk losing the values and traditions that define your culture.

[@arthurcorreia3011]

This game has so more messages than we think

[@darkkatana]

I love the fact that each boss holds a different aspect that can happen to a creator in their search for bringing what they make to life. Hold onto your hats, this is a long post detailing it all. DJ Subatomic Supernova: A creator that let his confidence and ego slowly sink his mind into thinking others are far beneath him. Recordings show that he started out just trying to branch out to like minded people. But at some point, when he gained fame he ended up thinking to highly of himself. Sayu: According to recordings you can find she was a collaboration creation that grew from a single artwork into something so much more when the group of four got together and became friends. But their dedication in wanting to win slowly made them forget about what inspired them to make Sayu to begin with. Resulting in them destroying their own creation more and more the deeper they fell into desperation to beat Bunk Bed. DK West: No secrets to find to flesh this one out. Their whole story is given in the raps they sing to one another. Zuke looked up to his brother so much that he ended up copying most of what he did to the smallest detail. In the end, he copied so much that it formed a resentment between the brothers. But it took their encounter here for the two to realize that Zuke only looked up to him and never meant to push his older brother to such lengths. After all, they are still family. Yinu: According to records in the game, she started playing piano with her father who passed away. But when her talent made her grow in fame, her mother pressured more and more into rising her daughter into stardom. In the end, the mother and daughter grew distant as Yinu most likely wanted to keep playing to not forget her dead father. It wasn't until Bunk Bed came along and knocked some sense into them that Yinu broke down and played that last tune that could have been the first song her father taught her when she was younger. Her mother realizing just how far she pushed her own daughter when she hears it. 1010: According to records you can find, the idea for 1010 began with some vintage figures made with imported materials. But once a war broke out and cut off the supplies for their creation, they were forced to resort to other means of making them and changing their appearance in order to draw in more attention to the series of figures. Over time, they stuck with a military style and once they found the 'version' that sold the most they just copied it with barely any changes to create their entire line. Resulting in the series to lose the creative style it once had just become a copy of what was considered 'most profitable'. The music aspect seems to be secondary and added onto them as a means to grow their popularity even more. Eve: Just like 1010, this one has the music as a secondary part. In the hidden recordings, Eve spent part of her younger years trying to find herself and fit in with others. Even going so far as painting her reddish half white so she would look 'normal' to people. It was in this time that she tried to find her own artistic style and, in effect, find those that understand her views so she wouldn't be alone. Then along came Zuke and she thought she had found someone that she could share her life with. But while Zuke understood her, he wasn't fully committed into it as she did and he couldn't tell her about it. The breaking point was when she tried to 'illuminate' his hair during a show, resulting in the break up that left Eve in a depressing pit that convinced her that she was better off just forcing her style onto others since she was now positive that there was no one else that understood her in the world. This one could be taken in many different ways for aspects of life. The mentality that you will never find someone that understands you. Tatiana: The largest example what any creator can end up in the long run of their careers. The high demand of fans and a fallout among her band mates sank her into a a hate for rock. SO much that she even shunned anyone else that liked it or trying to carve a path with it. The rest can be easily seen in the finale of the game and don't think I need to go into much more details on it. XD

There's actually alot more to 1010 when you take a look at their district and the items you get from their fight that people overlook because it's not spelled out like the other artists. Neon went through a pretty traumatic war and wether or not he became a cyborg due to the war through some injury is unsure but I'm order to cope and help people he began to design toys and dolls for the children affected by the war. Then , he began to design robots and machines to protect others so that nobody would get hurt , machines to clean and upkeep the city. But at some point he got wrapped up with NSR and soon he began to design machines to bring joy through music , but overtime he forgot his own mission he set out for himself and got so wrapped up in leading his own men again like the old days he neglected the people he sought to protect. This is evidence in the fact there are several old and busted robots , in the alleyways there are machines and pipes designed to keep water from flooding the district by the zuke and may comment in the fact their barely working and the flooding would get worse.

@@terterar1610 Kliff was a clingy fan, and even though he says he was "there for her" I doubt he was there in any truly meaningful way. Because at this point he's been unmasked as an antagonist, using B2J for his own needs, everything he said becomes untrustworthy. Through the eyes of a stalker fan, he may *think* he was doing something for her, but the reality is that despite everything he's "done" for her, it sounds like from her dialogue that he was way too up in her business. Just because you're a fan of someone doesn't mean they *have* to give you any more attention, especially if the fan is a stalker or makes the person uncomfortable.

What I like is, at the end, when Zuke and Mayday compare their score to Tatiana's, they're both at 47% on the energy generation scale. In the end, neither EDM nor Rock are the end-all be-all music. Both have their fans and good things, but no one type of music is 'powerful' enough to allow to power all of the city alone.

The order of the bosses is genius. Start with an arrogant jerk that feels good to take down a peg, then twice you take down kids just trying to have fun and perform, leading to you questioning the morality of your actions. By putting these bosses in front instead of at the end the message and theme really stays at the four front of your mind instead of saying at the end “YOU WERE THE VILLAIN THE WHILE TIME??!!” It’s a lot stronger as the introductory bosses, that make you question May and Zuke even when you’re fighting a literal robot boy band and crazy ex girlfriend

[@LandonShannon-mz3xg]

Even the penultimate boss EVE makes you wonder the morality of your actions as you drive her beyond the point of sanity. It really has you thinking , "Are we Really the good guys"?

[@djohnthesalty]

in Yinu's bossfight, you can really feel the tension of the overexpectations that her mother is placing on her. The 10 B's in a row that repeats then goes up to d# just pulses out a kind of tense energy that really symbolizes how much pressure Yinu is under from both her adversaries and her own mother to perform. The world wants to see her fail and her mother wants to see her succeed, but all she wants to do is play music...

[@kinggiddius3053]

There's all kinds of secret meanings and back story that they put into the game for all the villians that isn't shown via cutscenes. - DJ Subatomic Supernova being vain but also wanting to leave his mark in humanity's history by propelling his music into space. his vanity is further referenced by the fact that his head is a black hole, a point in space that generally appears at the center of solar systems. - SAYU being the love project of a group of young artists and being thrown into things beyond their realm of comprehension/being taken advantage of by big corporations. Couple kids found each other on social media, hit it off really well and decided to come together to create SAYU. - YINU plays cause of her father and mother. Dad dies of illness and mom became overprotective. YINU plays music as a reminder of her dad. BBJ interjects and the thorns of the mother come out to protect the rose (YINU). after the fight, YINU gets mad cause her mother, in her overprotectiveness, forgot why YINU continued playing piano. The piano is also most likely the piano her father played. Not bad, just sad. - 1010 (Neon J.) is mentally stuck in his military days and applies that logic to all the things he does, from optimal performance of soldiers to mannerisms. - EVE obviously has history with Zuke and his brother via college. Zuke and EVE dated for while. Zuke dipped out after EVE set his hair on fire, but EVE being an eccentric person from top to bottom, didn't understand why that was a big deal. Her end goal from the very beginning was to find someone who could understand her and stand by her. She groomed Zuke to an extent to serve this purpose, but well, we know how that turned out... It's all laid out in the game via the trophies you get after beating the bosses. PS: There's also one more NSR artist that we don't know about yet. Pay attention to the fight with Tatiana. Notice how there's 7 stained glass windows? You got DJ Sub, SAYU, YINU, 1010, EVE and Tatiana. There's no info on the mystery man on the far right stained glass window.

Yinu's fight breaks my heart. Idk how accurate it is. But I see her playing so much because it reminds her of her late father and it made her mother happy. But the fight made her dislike playing for the probably the first time and she hated them for making her hate the only thing she had to remember her dad, even if it was only for a moment. A side note, BBJ were very dickish to not even look sorry they broke a 5yos piano and nearly killed her and her mother.

I seriously think my favorite Bossfight was DJ Subatomic. The Music. The Fight. The Visuals. I love the whole galactic mentality and the irony of his music being heard throughout the galaxy. I just think its amazing. Seriously considering picking up this game now.

[@kevindolan9]

DJ SubSup: cool yet simple fight with lots of cool colors. I especially like how everything turns black and white once he goes all Black Hole. Sayu: Best Boss theme music (also only one that has lyrics) i really like surfing on coded waves as your stage transitions and having her creators be talented indie kids become super stars is very inspiring. Yinu: I dunno how this classifies as EDM but its still a very cool fight, it gives me persona 5 vibes like when you fight The Sphinx in Futaba’s dream with it being the fight that gives you the most insight on yinu and her moms relationship and life before the pictures. The climax is also really cool and leads to a bitter sweet victory. 1010: definitely the most on the nose boss fight with them being manufactured K-pop stars that can easily be replaced. The beat is catchy and the Ship they fight on is a cool setting. Also the factory styling on ya as the final phase is hilarious along with MayDay being sad when they do their finishing move. eve: The most emotional fight in the game and visually confusing, the music could’ve been a lot better with subtle lyrics that show eve’s new diva persona devolve into her depressed lonely self like when DK West first rap battle ended with him sounding hurt and jealous (not labeling his fights cause they feel like a mini game then a battle) the mirror transition splitting Zuke and Mayday up was a very cool change of the usual fight formula and the resolution at the end is really inspiring in terms of self reliance and fun to watch. Tatiana: cool boss theme, Most compelling Final boss I’ve seen in a long while (a shame the Key Bug is a thing) her using time related attacks is appropriate as her final form is a big hint of her true identity. I just wished we got some collectibles like the other bosses that give you major hints of how they came to be without explaining everything (aside from DJ who just explains why is audio) Final verdict: this game may be short and slightly buggy, but its ripe with charm, humor, fun bosses, compelling characters and kick ass music that makes me wanna get the soundtrack i would recommend this game

As someone in the group of people who just had this recommended to them with no context, I think Yinu's my favorite out of the bunch. Not only because the story behind it felt the most emotionally impactful, but because the track (particularly the rock version) reminds me a LOT of certain tracks from the Persona series. But then I haven't gone through all of them yet, so I might correct myself.

It really opened me up to a new niche of music, character designs, worldbuilding, and art styles, and I'm not sure whether if I have to be frustrated with this NSR "brainrot" thing with my mind that's still going on until now or be glad that I have discovered a banger soundtrack, and tons of awesome fanart for me to feast my eyes upon. Nonetheless, I'm happy that I saw this through and eventually became a part of it.

I also feel bad for Eve (Nadia) zuke left her because they were opposites. He was afraid because of that. Her whole performance was out of pain, you can really tell when she separates mayday and Zuke into two different rooms. The room mayday is in is harder than the room Zuke is in because she still loves Zuke and wants to be with him.

[@noirby5268]

I'm pretty sure Mayday isn't in love with Zuke. Zuke may not be able to handle being in a romantic relationship with another woman after everything that happened with Eve. And Mayday might not be attracted to him at all. When they encountered Sayu, she said "But I AM real! As real as your love for each other!" And both deny. But hey, who cares? They're fictional.
