This seems to be an uncommon opinion but thank god SSO is making (what appears to be) serious headway into the story.

For years it felt like it had stalled out. It was valid wanting main characters and villains to be visually updated before continuing, but it slowed things down.

I'm glad they aren't going "we need to update Mr. Sands, Darko is a pretty old model compared to the Dark Riders, Avalon really needs an update, so does Pi, etc"

Because yes it absolutely would look better if everyone had the same number of polygons. And yes it WOULD be great if SSO picked up those threads mentioned throughout the main story. But if they did that and got all those map areas that had been brought up in the story quests then it'd be another 10 years of filler in the main story until they can 'wrap up'

And honestly I'm tired of waiting. This isn't even an impatience thing, this is a "I've played this game for 10+ years and at this point I don't care how it's wrapped up, as long as it IS wrapped up."

Probably helps that I don't expected a 'satisfying' ending from SSO, I just want AN ending to the main story. I expect Garnok to be 'defeated' and for the Soul Riders to be victorious, probably through the power of friendship. That's all I'm expecting.

Okay, I fully admit that I'm very negative about this game, but I'm genuinely looking for an answer here and not just asking out of spite:

Why did the immortal Evanuris with two archdemons at their back need to bribe the mayor of D'Meta's Crossing, exactly?

Were Elgar and Ghilly just lazy that day and thought it'd be funnier if their victims rounded themselves up for them? Was Urthemiel secretly cutting deals with the Chantry Mother in Lothering before the darkspawn swept the village away, or...? What am I missing?

Deadass weeping after watching the Ōkami Sequel trailer. Like I don't even care if anyone following me goes here or not this is the only thing I'll be thinking about for the next month. Amaterasu. Ammy. Bby girl.

relistening to the figley ending for the first time in forever at work (the wait was mainly because i had been meaning to replay it myself but never made time to do so) and ive only just realized the string of instances where the game uses memories as a form of escapism. and specifically thinking more on how that plays into its concept of choice. escapism in the form of remembering despite the parable essentially being a domain that is constantly divisive in what occurs within it. there's just something about the way that things simultaneously happen but also do not happen at all. because everything restarts again to its beginning before any choice has been made. and yet, memories are used as a device for the narrator to reminisce and bond over with stanley/us (the demo ending, the memory zone, and the figley ending specifically).

It is additionally interesting to note the memories the narrator recalls that were never present in any other aspect of the game. The essential false memories (the apple room in the figley ending, the various memories shown in the demo ending). But with this thinking, that things have and have not occurred simultaneously, it makes the memories we know to not happen be questionable in nature. Specifically in that there isn't a way to prove they didn’t happen outside of it being something we/stanley did not personally go through or see. But if memories are divisive in nature, in the way we recall things differently, there isn’t a way to call it false or fake. Not when the parable is already a domain built on restarting. Basically, it seems to be a notion to inform us that things can happen in the parable that we do not know have happened.

sorry, i'm not really going anywhere with this, i just think it is interesting in how memories are utilized. a preface for its setting, a mode of bonding, and seemingly its own tiny aspect that probably has no deeper meaning at all. On a different note, it is also very heartwarming hearing the narrator talk about stanley in such a heartfelt way and the way the figley ending itself ends with the way the game begins. the end is never the end and whatnot.
