The Pantheon of Fear and Hunger is central to the lore and narrative of both games. Humanity has long sought to emulate the Older Gods, many becoming the so called 'New Gods'. While these beings are powerful and long lived, they fall short of true divinity. In this Fear and Hunger Lore video, we explain the differences between all three categories of Gods and why the New Gods fail to achieve true Godhood.

    The only thing I think you might have wrong is that the player character in FH1 and the contestents in FH2 have special souls. Souls are your astrological sign in the game, and according to Miro on twitter, have as much influence on your life as people who believe in horoscopes think astrological signs do. They kind of reflect your "default" response, but you can still act against you soul/sign. Everyone's got one. Miro's even somewhat recently posted a chart of which months and dates of birth coincide with which soul.

    Yep, and the reason why the soul stone of most non-boss enemies and bosses of FH1 is probably because the darkness of the god of the depth mutated them. As horoscope in real life has the scientific basis of star light from constellation shines to human. Soul of Fear and Hunger might be the result of light from the sun, moon and star (represented by traces of respective gods) affecting human. Lesser souls in FH1 is the captured of these lights, the reduction of the light by the darkness of the god of the depth that dehumanizing them into monsters.

    i disagree that abella's moonscorched form has no bearing on her personality. The extremely muscular physique and masculine build i see as reflecting a repressed insecurity about her perceived lack of femininity as a result of her personality and profession of choice

  • @FaeQueenCory
    @FaeQueenCory15 күн бұрын

    A bit of a correction, synthesis between the Persona and the Shadow is a common thing that is supposed to happen repeatedly. A never ending cycle. Consider the example of someone who thinks themself as a nice guy, but is actually a huge creep. When confronted with the True Self (the creep, his Shadow)... His Persona breaks, and he must synthesize his Shadow into his new Persona. This gives rise to a new Persona, but since people are people, the Shadow remains. A full synthesis of the Shadow and Persona was theorized, but such a being would be akin to a god, and as such isn't likely possible within humans.

    I also thought that Abella's moonscorch form was pretty obvious. Why would the community decide it has something to do with the Woodsman? She is a woman working as a mechanic in the 40's, she probably has a chip on her shoulder about her femininity ala Nouto from Persona 4. She becomes a muscular body with a TRUNK. Gee, I wonder what a TRUNK could symbolize...

    I'm 55 mins in and I wish you painted the Old Gods as concepts and forces of nature. It made things much clearer for me. The God of Fear and Hunger is interesting from this lense because, instead of a force of nature, she's a force found strictly within living beings. Destruction and creation know no bounds, but only the living experience fear and hunger. In this sense she's the closest thing to a pure Old God, unlike Alllmer, who's more of a perfect human. A juiced up new God in a way. Powerful and influential, but still at odds with his own ego, unlike the girl.

    Ok, so I’m on my third watch now, and I think this is one of your best videos. It feels much closer to a video essay than straight lore. We got jungian analysis, a thesis which you backed up effectively, deep reference to other works, a beautifully structured script. I have been watching since way before ER came out and your work, which has always been good, is definitely becoming more ‘academically sophisticated’. (yeah, I’m breaking out the pretentious phrasing for this comment, yw) F&H lore is so hard to parse when you’re actually *in* the games themselves, because it’s delivered so piecemeal and often obscured or oblique. Sometimes it’s hard to even understand exactly what is happening story-wise in the moment, let alone a deeper understanding. This video does a really good job of showing a more objective, overall view of the timeline of the world of F&H, and the true *purpose* of New Gods (which reminded me of Gwynn and his four kings and the ringed city, like - “here you go humans, here’s some “power” for you. Now shush and be good little inferior beings.”) Finally - the very deliberate way you shout out other creators and give credit is always really heartwarming to see. If anyone here is into Yoko Taro stuff I highly recommend Max Derrat’s videos on the Drakengard and Nier games too! There, that was a bit more coherent than “Yaaay!” - which was my offering to the algorithm gods as soon as I saw the notification. So glad you actually did this. Excellent job, dude.

    I'm ALWAYS happy to see F&H covered, this game is a force of nature! But as an admittedly easily distracted person, I gotta be honest... if your pronunciations become the default because you are one of the largest channels to cover the series, I might jump into a toilet 😅 A lot of the names of characters and places in the game are borrowed from mythology, or other fiction and games. Miro has been open about borrowing from stuff he loves. In addition to looking into the Jungian inspiration of the games, I would suggest looking into the sources of those names to get a feel for why those things might be thematically named what they are (in addition to learning about other cool stories/media you may enjoy, and learning the accurate pronunciation of the varying originating languages). As others have said, I would love to see some collabs with other F&H creators like The New Gods Podcast crew, Worm Girl, etc.

    I've been absolutely devouring FH lore for a long time now and it's hard for people new to the lore to deliver great analysis. They mess up a lot of small things (and that's ok, not trying to hate). I had high expectations given your stellar track-record with Souls games and solid approach. You absolutely delivered. I'm excited for your future FH vids. I may have understood all of this but it felt worthwhile to watch because it was well presented and structured. Great work brother.

    I feel Abela’s moon scorch reflect a sense of self hatred for how manly she had to be to make a difference as a mechanic. Dan’s seems to be more due to his arcane connections and the traces of Rher taking special interest in him.

    I personally think Abella and Daan's moonscorched forms do represent their shadows. Abella's being her anxieties as being percieved as too masculine or brutish, and not feminine enough for society, seen in her muscular build and male dominated profession, and her moonscorched form's massive frame, lack of breasts and phallic trunk coming from it's face. Though she seems the least insecure and one of the kindest out of the contestants so maybe the woodsman's parasite applified her transformation. It also makes sense with the motif of her transformation as it literally is the woodsmans genitals. And daan being the pocketcat is the cruelest joke played by rher as his parents were sylvian cultists who wanted to "share the gifts of sylvian" with him, implying that he was potentially abused as a child. His lover was also killed during a ritual to the gods, and so becoming pocketcat is a complete erasure of not only his personality but an inversion of his history. Pocket being an implied child abuser and servant to the old gods. Amazing video as always, keeps me sane during long shifts.

    Regarding Abella moonscorched form besides the probable parasite thing, there are also a couple of elements that could be linked to her "shadow" self: She works as a mechanic, a mostly masculine environment and despite being a nice lady, her moonscorched form being very "manish" may be a reflection of that. And that would include the elephant thing, because I'm pretty sure the finnish version of the "bull in the china shop" saying uses an elephant as the animal. So her shadow image of herself is this brute lacking in elegance or femininity

    My theory about Abella is that because she's been forced in to a field (being a mechanic) mainly dominated males, she was forced to suppress her femininity and doesn't see herself as a proper girl, hence the masculine stature of her moonscorched form

    32:33 funny thing about le’garde. He is not a new god. He died in the dungeons, his partner D’care would resurrect him in the S ending and he supposedly becomes a vampire of sorts, there are some small references to such but nothing concrete. If u throw I believe a poison vial at him his skin peels off and reveals the red skin.

    It really interests me that said by Gro-goroth's traces, that the old gods are too pure for this world, that humans will never reach purity, especially the wannabe new gods specifically aiming to achieve that power for themselves, yet Gro-goroth is described as a "curious god" and was believed to be disguised among mankind. Is that not a similar ambition? Rher too, a jealous god, having their servants kidnap children with potential. Like the moon god was nervous and anxious of the thought of a new world order. Alll-Mer is the og ascended god, well before the girl who is the only other instance. At the end of the C ending we meet the Sulfur god which is believed to be Alll-Mer's banished hatred for humanity. This can easily be written off as the old gods being that of the most pure traces of what's left of humanity's primal instincts, ideas, and ambitions, that we as the mortal audience can't comprehend. It's just fun to think about what we should and can not imagine. Amazing analysis, I love the way you document. And the best part, Miro is not done yet.

    Cocoon is a special case because it's the only instance we see of *two* moonscorched people sharing a single body: Marina and her dad. We know that Rher had access to Marina's dad because Samarie brought his remains into the Rher dimension. Option B would be that her dad had such an impact, that her mind actually manifested a copy of him. And it's out of the question that there's 2 people in that body: the thing got 2 completely separate lifebars. You take her out, then you must take the cocoon itself out separately.
