#massive ghost trick spoilers

[facelessfinest]

I came up with a plot for a second Ghost Trick game/ Post-Canon AU. Spoilers for the game, obviously.

The day Yomiel is released from prison, he finds out that Sissel (The woman) has been kidnapped as part of another attempt by the foreign country to erase all the people who know about temsik. Sissel knows about temsik because Yomiel told her in his letters from jail.

With help from the cast of the original game, he tries to find her. When the team tries to confront whoever the country sent to come after them, it turns out to be…Yomiel. Again.

There’s a lot of distrust and confusion, but eventually they find out that there is a ghost who can copy the powers of anyone previously touched by the temsik meteorite, even if their death was erased. Yomiel, as the manipulator, obviously has some of the most useful abilities.

To create a ghost who could use such abilities however, the foreign country killed a lot of animals and people. In order to try and save them, yomiel kills himself in the presence of the meteor fragment in order to regain his ghost tricks. Sissel (the cat) begged him not to, because he wouldn’t be able to come back unless Sissel died as well, and Yomiel had made him promise he wouldn’t do that.

The new manipulator turns out to be a ferret named Fromm who was tricked into thinking he was Yomiel after he died. He can use any ghosts abilities he likes, but he experiences amnesia when switching between them, which is why he does it very infrequently and is very vulnerable when he does, besides, he’s must useful to the foreign country when he thinks he is Yomiel. It comes to light that the foreign country killed Sissel (the woman) to make Fromm believe the detective team had done it, in order to influence him to do the countries bidding. Yomiel finds out his fiancé is dead and goes into a rage and disappears, leading Sissel to give up his life to find him. They team up to get Sissel (the woman) back, and free all the ghosts the foreign country made in order to give Fromm all his abilities, as well as to free Fromm too. The others think he might be too far gone, but Sissel (the cat) insists that can’t be the case, and cites Yomiel as proof. Yomiel has mixed feelings, he knows Fromm is experiencing the same thing he once did, but the loss of his wife after 10 years of trying to get over her death, and another 10 years in prison waiting to see her again weigh on him heavily and alter his judgement.

Yomiel has to learn how to connect with people who haven’t been to the ghost world in order to speak with everyone, along with other new abilities.

AS context for this screenshot (because I think it's funnier with): Cabanela just survived an explosion and faked getting shot in the head with a bullet. All in the span of under 10 minutes.

When I first started Ghost Trick I thought Cabanela calling Lynne “baby” was creepy, as if he was some sort of antagonistic pervert character with a flamboyant ego. However, I was proven wrong, oh so wrong!

Cabanela is just a well-meaning fruity detective with experiences and mistakes he learns from while also being a flawed king. And he calls her “baby” because she’s like a daughter to him! His baby girl! And that’s so sweet

He ended up being one of my favorite characters. Love this lad

Anyway this out of context-

Hi Ghost Trick Fandom!! 👻

Tag Meme: 9 Favorite Characters

tagged by @talysalankil

Gonna copy your "one per series/franchise" because otherwise there is a genuine risk Precures and TWEWYs would eat it whole. In no particular order, and with definite "What's on my mind right now" bias:

Xion (Kingdom Hearts)

No surprise there, and yes, I did intentionally get a screenshot from the post-Riku fight for this.

2. Cure Grace/Nodoka Hanadera and Rabirin (Healin' Good Precure)

(Look, they transform as a pair, their transformation phrase is "Two flowers as one," I'm counting them both. "Then shouldn't you use a screenshot of Cure Grace?" Shut up.)

3. Anthy Himemiya (Revolutionary Girl Utena)

Yes, I saved this image as "Anthy Himemiya Is A Weird Girl Who Keeps Snails In Her Pencil Case."

4. Yoshiya "Joshua" Kiryu (The World Ends With You)

... Yes, choosing his most insufferably smug dialogue sprite was necessary, why do you ask?

5. The Luidaeg (October Daye)

"I am the sea witch. I am the tide you fear and the turning you can't deny. I am the sound of the waves running over your bones on the beach, little man, and I am not amused at finding you on my doorstep." She took a step forward. He took a step back. "I won't punish you for obeying orders the way she would. But I can't let an insult go unanswered. You know how it goes." A smile twisted her lips. "I'm actually grateful. You see, there are... rules... that govern what I can and can't do. But you broke them first. Now I get to do something I don't get to do very often. Now I get to play." ... "What did you do?" "Nothing they hadn't allowed by coming onto my territory. Every soul who came here on the Queen's business will go home, go to bed, and sleep soundly, dreaming the sweetest of dreams." Something about that statement had teeth. I paused, and then ventured, "For how long?" The Luidaeg smiled brilliantly. "Until something wakes them up. True love, childbirth, and bees are all on the table."

(Chimes at Midnight, Chapter Seven, pages 91-92) The wiki also uses the "I am the sea witch" bit as her epigraph but as a known lover of "true love, childbirth, and bees are all on the table" I felt it best to include the full exchange.

6. Lio Fotia (Promare)

(This BARELY beat out something from the Kakusei sequence but I love how fluffy his hair is as he tosses it.)

7. Ventuswill/Venti (Rune Factory 4)

Tragic immortal dragon god BFF <3

8. Moist von Lipwig (Discworld)

Never promise to do the possible. Anyone could do the possible. You should promise to do the impossible, because sometimes the impossible was possible, if you could find the right way, and at least you could often extend the limits of the possible. And if you failed, well, it had been impossible.

(Going Postal) Okay, it's him and Vimes, but I figured I'd go for Moist for the variety since everyone loves Vimes.

9. Okay there were a LOT of characters I considered for this, like, seriously, I went from "hm I can't think of anyone" to "ugh I have TOO MANY options" in very little time, but ultimately, while this might be recency bias at the moment, it is also true:

Missile (Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective)

The goodest boy in gaming.

(Runners-up from things that aren't otherwise represented here include Surge the Tenrec from Sonic IDW, Miles Naismith Vorkosigan from the Vorkosigan Saga, Rose Aleon from Birdie Wing, Grovyle from Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers, and huge enough swathes of the casts of Dumbing of Age and Girl Genius that I just didn't even bother trying to narrow those down.)

Tagging: In general assume I do this as an open invite to anyone seeing it, but just to name a couple people, @thesternest, @denizenhardwick, @mehanios, @purplelea, @yurisorcerer, @yoshiyakiryu

So anyways I come bearing slight (unnecessary) elaboration on Previous Thoughs Left In The Tags, once again under lighthearted non-threat. Because "do it, coward" is apparently the only way to get me to do anything remotely in public.

Y’know everyone’s always "Ace Attorney crossover!" and "Professor Layton crossover!" about Ghost Trick, but you know what I think would be extremely funny?

Detective Conan crossover.

A guy who doesn't believe in ghosts, a girl who's terrified of the supernatural, and a guy who IS a ghost.

[fankawashitpost]

A minor character I feel gets a bad rap is Emma from Ghost Trick. Like, I get it, she's haughty and pretentious and those are traits that are easy to hate, but her behaviour around the Justice Minister and Amelie is what gets her flack from players. People forget that no, her novel writing is not why she took Amelie and left. It's because she knows about SPOILERS the manipulator controlling her husband, and thus knows the Justice Minister is about to sentence an innocent man to death. That's a pretty rational thing to get the hump with your partner for. You can tell from their first conversation that JM has no issue with her novels ("You can write your novel just as well from home!") and it's simply Amelie's childish perspective that it's only because of that.

Obviously shouting at Amelie is not good, but again, Emma is under massive pressure because *she knows what her husband is about to do.* I find it unfair to let this moment of weakness define her entire parenthood, when she's otherwise shown to be very calm and casual about Amelie's misbehaving (not going to piano lessons, etc.) But these are just thoughts.

YOMIEL from GHOST TRICK

MASSIVE GHOST TRICK SPOILERS UNDER THE CUT

volume warning. again. because good lord

[turniptitaness]

WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT THE ENDING OF ALL OF US STRANGERS

Massive spoilers under the cut obviously.

So i just read this debate about whether or not the ending was a powerful statement on the nature of love, or a cheap "gotcha" trick.

One debater thought it was weird to have a message about letting go of the past followed by a choice to embrace another ghost. The other debater thought it was a beautiful choice that ensured Adam wouldn't be alone, even if his relationship is unorthodox, to say the least.

But my fellow travelers, they both missed it.

In Adam's last scene with his parents, they tell him keeping them "alive" will hold him back. Then they reenact their deaths, but Adam gets to be with them and hold their hands through it.

When he is on the bed with Harry, Harry says "I'm scared." Then he tells Adam, "don't let this [Adam's heart, and their relationship] get tangled up again." Then Adam says "Come on," in a tone that is both bracing and reassuring.

In the last shot, Harry is in the same position as Adam found him in his own bed, but this time Adam is holding him.

Adam said something earlier about his Mum, how she must have been confused and scared when she died, because her family wasn't there. Harry later said, "how come no one found me? Where was my mum? Or my dad?"

Harry is re-dying, y'all. But this time he isn't alone.

The story is about the nature of love, yes, but also of grief. Letting go of regret and the burden of carrying those who you have lost. Adam's parents are only still here because he doesn't want to let go. Same for Harry. In the end, Adam has to choose to let go of all three ghosts in order to actively choose life. His parents told him to choose a life with the man they believed to be living. I think in allowing them and Harry to "die" that second time, he is promising to choose life for himself. Real life, not the mere existence he had at the beginning of the film.

Please tell me I'm not insane. Y'all saw it too, right?

Anyways, this movie has me in a chokehold and i can't stop thinking about it, but now i need to shut up or else I'll be late to work.

Feel free to share your thoughts.

I was messing about in inShot when I saw this MASSIVE Ghost Trick spoiler in the sticker section

[thelocalmuffin]

sissel ghost trick for the character ask :3

Ask me about characters with this meme!

MASSIVE SPOILERS AHEAD UNDER READ MORE.

First impression: Ah yes, a Shu Takumi protagonist. He's got a fun way of expressing himself though.

Impression now: Legitimately my favorite character in the story.

Favorite moment: I think when him and Lynne decided to work together is when I really started to like him. Him using rational logic on how people work versus emotion for a pressing situation to trust someone was really interesting.

Idea for a story: Right now, I don't have any centering around him specifically.

Unpopular opinion: Apparently him being a favorite character is? So I'll go with that.

Favorite relationship: His and Lynne's by far. I didn't start crying until they were reunited, tbh.

Favorite headcanon: He likes curling up with Missile in the good timeline near the crackling fire when it gets cold in the winter.

Hey just so you know I submitted a character from Ghost Trick but literally everything involving him is a MASSIVE spoiler. Literally everything and I am not joking.

An impressive amount of spoilers then

[darklight-owl]

Ghost Trick fans when they realize they can't talk about Ghost Trick outside the Ghost Trick fandom because every single plot beat is a massive spoiler

[regallibellbright]

Didn't realize you were a ghost trick fan (I played it a month ago and finished it in 3 days of doing nothing but playing it it's one of my favourite games now)

Now we must discuss

My friend who’s currently playing it (and just met Jowd) follows me so I don’t want to get into TOO many details, but:

Missile. Best boy, or bestest boy?

There was actually a project spun off from the Ace Attorney fan musical like, a decade ago to try and do a Ghost Trick musical in the same style. Don’t think it ever got finished - I believe there was trouble getting enough singers - but I remember I wrote lyrics for a song for it before having a health crisis that meant I dropped the project suddenly. (This was basically the story of my 20s.) It was a fun time.

So yeah, love that game. Of the two Standalone Cult Classic DS Games About Death With Quirky But Well-Utilized Mechanics Using DS Gimmicks, Spiky-Haired Amnesiac Protagonists, And Themes About How We Relate To Other People, (and HELLA spoilers with a massive eleventh-hour plot twist or two that completely recontextualize the game on replay, which I COULD draw deeper comparisons on but will not because the aforementioned spoiler thing.) TWEWY’s always been the one that consumed me more, but Ghost Trick is still one of my absolute favorites and I recommend it to literally everyone. It’s funny, it’s clever, it’s got an extremely cute pomeranian, it’s a GREAT mystery that holds up on replay, the soundtrack is fantastic, and the animation…

Cabanela is the MOST ridiculous character but trust me, there are more, and even more understated characters’ animations are top-notch. (Friend has not yet reached The Most Giffable Part, or I’d use it.)
