I usually took "The Flash that cuts" as A) it is a Witcher tradition from Geralts time, making Ciri one of them, and most importantly B) Ciris steel sword is already called Zireael. She doesnt need 2 swallows.

@@535phobos I feel like the traditional witcher approach to Ciri, like getting drunk together instead of a snowball fight, is what distances Geralt from her. And it's the more personal approach, where Geralt tries to understand her individuality, that wins her over... I'd say that naming the sword "Zirael" instead of putting the witcher factory motto on is part of it...

I chose Swallow on my first playthrough when I thought Ciri had died. I thought Geralt was honoring her by taking up a sword with her name. But now that I know she lives in that scenario, I'll always choose the flash that cuts, because Ciri already has a sword named Swallow - her steel sword. Seems kinda dumb to give her a silver one with the same name.

ugh that ending still gives me chills

@lucaschebance3135

Ай бұрын

yeah i just want to die in peace after that lol

Honestly when I think about the books I don't think Ciri would like the Zireael inscription too much, because this is the name that people often used when speaking about her destiny, her blood and so on. For example, it was often used in Tir na Lia, when the Aen Elle spoke about her and what she is supposed to do for them. It was something she didn't like, didn't want to be part of and that caused her so much suffering. In the end I think she came to terms with it, but she always called herself witcher and wanted to be like Geralt, wanted to be with the other witchers in Kaer Morhen. For me, it makes more sence to give her the old witchers' motto inscription on the sword, but that's just my interpretation of book Ciri. I think one can argue that W3 Ciri is different than her and feels different about the name 'Zireael'.

I fully agree, and while I lack the knowledge of the books entirely I believe it to be common, and certainly not out of the realm of possibility that people will often use a name they are called but don't like as a way to strengthen themselves. Use it as a shield if you will. I could see her perspective on Swallow changing and becoming more positive as she shapes her own destiny as a Witcher. Who knows though, I also agree that game Ciri and book Ciri are definitely different.

She cause you made the wrong choice. Not by accident.

Baggage with the zirael name aside, probably she recognized the inscription instantly so she goes to admiring the sword itself. The motto is not instantly recognizable so curiosity in the reaction

On my first playthrough I genuinely thought that Ciri had perished and was absolutely heartbroken. When I saw the options for the inscriptions I thought I was getting a blade to memorialize her so the choice was obvious. Of course then the bait and switch was revealed and I got to see Ciri's face light up at her new sword so it was all worth it

this music is just masterpiece love it

In the books, Zireael is a nickname that she is often referred to by the Aen Elle who are basically interdimensional elves on the brink of extinction. The word itself is inextricably tied to her blood and her destiny, and so she knows what it means by virtue of the word following her. There's another comment on the video that explains why she would probably actually hate this inscription, as she hates people who try to tell her what her destiny is. She has only ever wanted to be a witcher. But I think the naming convention is for fans.
