DYNASTY // 1000xRESIST amv

i havent edited in a while, but 1000xRESIST is such a good game i had to make an amv of it. went for a somewhat cinematic editing style this time, as i try to focus on the themes of resistance and generational cycles of harm

also shout out to my friend @triptrippy for helping provide feedback throughout my 2-month editing process!

hd on youtube here:

initially i planned to have some typography, but with the amount of dialogue-text on-screen for much of the video, i ended up deciding against it.

heres some screenshots of my typography attempts under the cut:

Was watching a friend stream the start of 1000xresist when this edit popped into my brain.

1000xRESIST spoiler discussion: the bad kids stay the good kids go

//PLEASE DON'T READ IF YOU HAVEN'T PLAYED 1000xRESIST to completion

So I finished the game, replayed some parts, stewed over it... and I wanted to ask other fans, there's a lot I still don't understand, so I'll just list some questions here - questions Im not sure are meant to be open-ended.

///

What even is The Other Side?

We see it (more or less) only once, when Watcher steps off the train and finds Iris whispering to herself, and from the first chapter to the last... I was confused what this place even was? It seems to be a dead end, or perhaps those are different levels of walkways sorrounding the circular room? Regardless, we don't really explore it, but if Iris is just waiting here, not even expecting to be interrupted, is it just one room? Just like when she was younger, was Iris spending a long time talking in just one room?

But at the same time, most Jiaos, Fixer, and several other Sisters are sent here both before and after Iris' death, and they are all fine! So what do they even do here? Some Shells speak of the Jiaos "working" on The Other Side, do they mean the "Memorabillia Reproduction" Cherry talks about? Seems harsh to ship Jiaos to some distant point, just to make diaries and school uniforms... but I wouldn't put it past Principal, she's already sent untold Sisters to The Other Side.

I'm starting to believe that the Other Side is not real? Or at least the version we see: when Watcher kills Iris and Principal traps her, she surrounds themselves with magical doors and shadow people... so this definitely isn't real, right? Makes me think the actual murder of Iris was more mundane, and that the injections Knower and Mauve gave Watcher corrupted her memory and communion of it... do you see it the same way?

///

Who is the third Familiar?

Speaking of Principal, I was quite surprised we got almost no information on her Familiar, "Vice", and actually no information on the third, yellow Familiar, the one that follows Jiao-Prime AA... to the point that I feel like I must have missed a scene or something! Perhaps this is less of a question, and more of a complaint, but I do feel like we were missing something from not seeing much more of the other Familiars.

As a personal head canon, because we have "Secretary" and "Vice" (probably short for Vice President), I bet the yellow Familiar was named "President", "Minister", "Premier" or something like that.

{I'll add more questions and thoughts here later, I'd love to discuss this game more with others, I adore so much of it, I just want to understand the parts that I couldn't make sense of and even disliked!}

yes i know that fixer and watcher’s relationship is intentionally complex and watcher made an effort to hide the true nature of it from others because it’s intimate and there’s no dialogue in their impossible convos scene because once again they have an extremely close and unique relationship and you’re supposed to speculate as the player. that being said i’m so fucking nosy LET ME IN!!!!!!!!!!!

[castleinthemist]

some 1000xresist (major) spoilers for later in the game while i'm coherent enough to post

when fixer shows up again i noted the scars over/surrounding her eyes, which stuck me a little bit off considering her mask/helmet situation wouldn't really allow someone to easily scratch her face...i thought it maybe was something in relation to her being on the run and such

but it wasn't until after i finished the game that it hit me. Those are there because she wanted to offer her eye to watcher. the scars perfectly match someone trying to reach at her eye. Whether watcher maybe pushing her away from it or fixer herself just trying to rip it out out of desperation idk! we never do! what happened surrounding that is between them and whatever discussions or arguments or whatever occurred between them after they rescued watcher is only filtered to us through fixer and bb...for something so little it adds such a deliciously painful facet to that.
