I think Raziel's response was humorous to Kain. Raziel was naive to the game being played, and Kain caught himself being oblivious to this fact, being worked up over Raziel's supposed arrogance, when infact, was (unintentional) ignorance. Raziel was there to kill him, to take vengeance, caught in Mobius's supposed net. Kain's sudden shift in tone is not him laughing at Raziel, but himself.

There's no two ways about it, no need for flowery language or prose -it really was just that simple.

The story of soul reaver has resonated within my mind for as long as i first watched this epic saga, the lessons within it teach more than just a story it resonates the truth of alliances and of the truth of power being neither a force for absolute good or evil only that power can depreciate or restore things. someone once pointed out on youtube that soul reaver at the throne room there is upside down hebrew written on the walls this game i swear is all about layers within layers its a masterpiece that leaves a man questioning his own goodness and in doing so enables him to become more by realising that all is never as it seems. kain and raziel both go through hard knocks before they discover the location of their true enemy and its a great analogy the only true enemy is the one you never see.

@@Xalmuster we never saw an encounter of Kain and Raziel in a place with Kains Emblem on the ground. Raziel never received the Ariel reaver.

First These Visions where then out of order, as the fire reaver was before the Fight and the Spirit reaver. Secondly defiance is an alternate timeline cause originally Kain should have been dead when they meet at Williams grave and Raziel consumed by the reaver after killing his human self. It only diverged because of the paradox of the two souls of the reaver. And it is not confirmed that the visions can show alternate timelines, as all Visions before happened exactly as shown and Kain wouldn't be as shocked about the Hylden cause he could see the alternate Timeline he would creat where he would be beaten by the Hylden Lord. These visions ultimately lead to nowhere and are not important in later installments.

When he was human, he believed all vampires to be evil simply because they opposed him. As a vampire, any who weren't "blessed" as he was, were little better then vermin. Now as a wraith, he has to witness the world from multiple viewpoints and eras in time to finally see the truth. One that has an unfortunate end for him, but that he comes to accept as the best possible outcome.

I never realized that she called him Raziel, but he never told her his name. At first you would think it's a continuity error, until later....

Even in SR1 its not an error. Kain had his HQ at the pillars and Ariel can switch between material and spectral realm. She probably overheard their conversation earlier.

Many years after this I thought it would have been cool if Adventure Time parodied this. Finn fights the Ice King. The Ice King gets a hold of the Finn Sword and tries to strike Finn down with it. It shatters and Finn momentarily slips into the low-level Dead World from "Ghost Fly." there he is bound to the soul of his broken Finn Sword. Finn then goes on a quest to find the souls of his other lost swords, the Golden Sword, the Root Sword, The Demon Blood Sword, and so on. Each one changes the physical sword Finn now carries until in its final state it looks like the sword from the title card.

Modern devs would most certainly destroy it with their shitty woke propaganda. Some things should remain untouched, unfortunately.

If this game ever gets remade, they need to start it with a recap, and then make the game that soul reaver was originally meant to be inder the pretense that the tineline was restored by the events of defiance

So let me get this straight: since this moment, Raziel started using not just the "Soul of a blade" but more like a replica of his own soul from another time, am I right? That's why the Soul Reaver shattered, because it was a paradox. But in which moment in history the Reaver blade got possessed by Raziel's soul, I wonder.

You should watch soul reaver 2, When Janos gives Raziel the blood reaver the blade it is not possesed, that happens shortly after he attacks the sarafan stronghold, or shpuld have happened if Kain had not postponed it. From what I can tell when the possesion of the blade occurs both Raziel the wraith, and Raziel the Reaver merge into one, memories and cpncience and all.

Along with Nintendo Switch(And Nintendo Switch Successor in mid or late 2025), And Xbox Series X/S and PC but nothing has been censored to reach a modern audience. Athough The Elder God, Raziel, Melchiah, Zephon, and the priestess that was cut from final version of the original, And a Turelim chieftain controlling a beast in the Crucible will have new voice actors.
