Splatoon 2 - Into the Light [8-bit] (VRC6 + MMC5)

[@lumena-tan]

Huuuuge shout out to @jtangc for all the small details thrown into this. Believe in or not, the animation in this is very nuanced to accommodate for small gestures on Agent 8 and the changing lighting due to the time cycle! Please follow him over on Twitter twitter.com/jtangc

This ending makes me want Octo Expansion to never end

[@LordofPainValak]

that sounds. . . . . . a little wrong there.

[@flumphflumph6021]

They could just keep doin em'. Like, you buy the game, go "the main champaign is a bit weak" then play the expansion where you follow the adventures of Agent 8 where he/she is trying to uncover mysteries about who she/he is and what's going on in the world (if he/she is coming from some sort of biotank is anything to go by) :) Even better though, it could be a joint adventure between all of the previous cast :) Ooh I'd love that :)

[@zekromfan1]

Octo Expansion was and is still to this day one of my most cherished experiences in gaming as a whole. I hold it up there with my first time completing SA2, Portal 2, BotW, or Fallout: New Vegas. But while all of the others were fun and are experiences I would love to relive again, Octo Expansion is special, in a way I’m happy I completed it, but I wish I hadn’t. I would love to go back to 2018 and play through what would eventually become my favorite DLC, even competing with the DLC of New Vegas in terms of quality. There is something that is just so bittersweet about finishing OE, once Into the Light played I felt overjoyed that I beat it, I was happy to see the ending, but then it set in that it was over, Splatoon has that strange ability to make you feel a bit depressed once it’s all over, the ending themes are all really great at bringing that bittersweet feeling to the forefront. Into the Light is perhaps the best at this, you can just tell that it’s over, you had fun, it was a bit difficult making it here, but now that it’s all said and done, we’re just sitting here basking in the reverence of the moment, before we get on with our lives and go our separate ways. The closest thing I can compare it too in the emotions it brings out, would have to be Persona 4, that game’s OST and general atmosphere is incredibly depressing in ways that are hard to express and aren’t exactly apparent at first glance. It’s like watching the seasons change, or seeing someone grow up. Heartbeat Heartbrake, or Your Affection really bring out that feeling, if you haven’t I’d really recommend you check it out, either the OST or the game itself, both are really good. I think the general feeling that they both convey is the slightly bittersweet feeling of a fleeting youth, and how the things we considered tough and difficult, will be things we miss once it’s all over. It might be different for everyone, but that’s the general feeling I get from Into the Light, a melancholic acceptance that it’s over, but an optimistic outlook on the future that was gained through all of those trials and tribulations. It might be over, but we’ll keep those experiences with us for the rest of our lives, and even if we can never experience the same feelings again, we can at least take some solace in knowing that we experienced it at all. To feel sad or depressed, is to know that you cared to begin with after all.

3 years since I played this DLC. Still the greatest DLC ever made to this day for me. Nothing has touched it for me and how it changed my Splatoon Single Player Experience. I was just blown away from how the mission were so much different from the Hero Modes of 1 and 2. Its the fucking best. Into the Light is possibly my favorite Splatoon song (up there with Fly Octo Fly). This song no matter how many times I hear it will make me cry. I can't help but get tight in my chest and tears flow from my eyes.
