Loved your recap of the game. I was fortunate enough to get the hidden ( true?) ending. I really connected with characters from this world and would of been heartbroken to see Lilly die the way she did in the "bad" ending. One thing I noticed and I don't think it's been brought up much ( the game is less than a month out so I am expecting a bit too much lol) is that the androids from mother Sphere ( airborne squad I believe ) all tend to be female whereas you see some male androids in xion. I absolutely loved the game.

The way you tell a story is sometimes more important than the story itself. And this story is very good, but in the game it doesn't fully shine. Perhaps because of the urgency of paying more attention to the gameplay and having very little time for cinematics. There is a lot of lore in the notes you find, but we all know that we gamers don't invest time in reading any of that. That's why these videos are so well received. I liked it a lot. Thank you.

Gosh I LOVE the video game story and lore.
@Freakymonify2 сағат бұрын
This isn't the case. Mother Sphere has determined that the Andro-Eidos are humans in a new, improved form (I personally agree), and so the scanner displays them simply as human because this is the truth in the eyes of their god.

Maybe I missed it but did you discuss why "our EVE" is called EVE from the start and all other squad members have different names or nicknames? I don't think that she becomes the chosen one throughout the story, rather she was chosen to be the EVE from the beginning (altho given the high mortality rate of the 7th squad's landing leaving just her alive is a bit contrived lol). Also there is a data point found in the Great Desert called "Notes on EVE Protocol 4". It states, "According to my intel, the seventh Angel, EVE, has been sent for the seventh EVE protocol. The time has come. Praise Mother Sphere! Praise EVE's ascension." I guess it's not super clear but I interpreted this as meaning "our EVE" is the true chosen one by design. Not to say that an 8th or 9th squad would not have been sent if our EVE of the seventh failed but it does explain why EVE is called EVE, why Tachy was so protective of her vs every other other soldier and also why she is dressed so differently than all the rest. There is a theory that every airborne squad had their own EVE and that Raven was the one from the 2nd but then why is she called Raven. And she calls herself Raven very early on in the first legacy the player comes across so at that point she would have been somewhat early in her adventure as our EVE is but the latter does not give herself a different name. I suppose it could be a difference in programming or something. Well whatever, I'm gonna stop arguing with myself but I am very curious why the EVE we play as is special and is special from the beginning. She is not just special because she survives the longest.
@TheLorebrarians19 сағат бұрын
My interpretation is that there is an "EVE" within each generation of airborne, handcrafted and chosen by Mother Sphere to be the most likely to fulfill the EVE protocol. As to whether they're all named Eve I'm not sure, but an argument could be made that Raven renamed herself after becoming an Alpha Naytiba or at least after discovering the truth. I believe she states that the legacies were planted as breadcrumbs to lure/entice Eve so could have been recorded and planted with lies. Perhaps that's also why Marks made her an Alpha, an attempt at the fusion but realizing that her body frame wasn't perfect for transcendence?
