I really like the fact that they did a separate set of sprites for Odio-Oersted. The cape is finally fully canon. Yay.

Oersted is a man who truly lost everything... Lost his comrades... Lost his king... Lost the faith of the people... Lost his home... Lost his love... And most of all, lost his heart. I can't possibly hate him. I can only mourn him.

Considering the game's themes all revolve around hatred, not hating Oesterd is probably a good idea. The game does give you an opportunity to kill him after you defeat Pure Odio. Do that, and the heroes will be stuck in the Dominion of Hate forever. Essentially, if you kill him, he wins; you prove him right, that humans will never move beyond their base instincts and hatred. 'Thus the cycle continues...'

Indeed. But he also let it all cost him his soul. In the end, he let himself slip into hatred... He became the demon himself. And that was his failing, that he didn't acknowledge the counterpoints that came up. He didn't acknowledge the child. He didn't acknowledge Hasshe's, or Uranus', words... While I can see why he did it, I don't outright sympathise... He put others (in other parts of time too) through worse, or at least equally bad, and they didn't see fit to turn... And in this case, that was something he failed to acknowledge.

@The Quarter Guy Like you said in your video about this game, if one bad day can turn a man into a monster, then Oersted had the worst day ever.

The script in the English version is really something else. Not to say the Japanese one is bad, but I believe it's literally just the original game's script with barely anything changed. And then there's the absolutely sublime voice acting. It's great all the way, but Dario Coates completely hits the ball out of the park as Oersted/Odio.

I wish they could have updated one of the references the game makes. The wrestling match on TV in the Near Future Chapter is between Keiji 'Great Muta' Mutoh and Mitsuharu Misawa. It was the same in the 1994 original, but the reference worked much better in 1994 because both were mainstays of All Japan Pro Wrestling. Now though, Mutoh's retired and Misawa's been dead for over a decade and nobody outside of hardcore wrestling fans would know who these guys are. An updated reference would've been nice is all I'm saying. Maybe Shinsuke Nakamura vs Kazuchika Okada.

Dario Coates' role as Odio is so epic and terrifying that it makes Mark Hamil's role as Malefor in the Legend of Spyro trilogy look tame in comparison. Not to mention it's far better filtered. kzread.info/dash/bejne/fX-euquLmq65qrw.html

It makes for a notable (and somewhat jarring) contrast to both the original game and the Japanese version, where he ends with an evil laugh. I agree, this ending is better. Even within the influence of Odio, all Oersted really wanted was validation… and now, everyone who could validate him was either killed or scared away.

Agreed. For what flaws Oersted may have had, he turned to hate out of despair, not because he enjoys it. Him finally coming to enjoy doing evil would not fit.

They also made an even worse ending in this remake where Odio instead gives up and makes the bosses blow up the universe instead.

I do like this departure from the evil laugh he gives in the original game (and this game’s Japanese dub, rather jarringly). Within the hateful influence of Odio, there’s a warrior who still wants what he always did - validation. Someone to recognize his strength and bravery. But his vengeful acts came first, and now anyone who _could_ validate him is either dead or hiding miles away.

He's rocking the darkened look and the cape

the cape was actually streiborgh’s

Love the ending credits theme. Beautiful ... tragic ... and empty. Highly reflective of Oersted.

In the end he regrets everything. As If Ódio was controling him

I love when games let you play as the villain. So I was obviously forced to play this after clearing my first characters Dominion of Hate.

The greatest hero, Odio/Oersted.
