    Another fantastic lore video. I'd honestly forgotten about the "it's a spaceship" part, so I think that throws my Rykros theory out a bit - although saying that I feel it's practically a confirmation that the Dark Falz from Algol was sealed away in a spaceship and shot off to 'never' be found again (until it was...)

    wow, thanks for this! This explains a lot to me as someone who never played this on original hardware :) Rico's fate is a tragic one, I kinda pieced that one out especially when I first fought Falz but this video set me straight! I now have a much better understanding of the lore. Can't wait for EPISODE 2 my man! :D Oh, I'm one of the many people who just play TTF 30x a day, so hehe :D

    Another great vid. Something stuck out that I hadn't noticed before, the MUT DITTS POUMN text - I had a heart of Poumn back in the day and never realised what it was about

      If I remember correctly, the description for Heart of Poumn also makes a reference to Alys/Alis, so there is a definite link!

    If you play in story mode (single player for "Offline" or Government quests for "Multiplayer") you get the real endings.
    You need to finish it on Ultimate to get the "Final" ending however...
    Nice video!

    I really like the indirect storytelling of PSO and although I managed to figure out the essentials, it's nice to finally explicitly get answers after all these years 😄
    Really enjoyed your lore explanation so far!
    Btw at 22:03, you can also hear the dark undertone (string section) in the supposed "peaceful piano" piece. Such a simple thing, but I love it.

    • @SectionSkyly
      @SectionSkyly  10 днів тому +1

      Yeah, the piano track (The Nearest Place to Heaven Part 1) is honestly one of the creepiest songs in the game. The piano sounds really peaceful, but under that there's weird static/distortion and the strings. The transition from that into the 2nd part (when the illusion of the field fades) is genuinely horrifying and one of the best moments in the game.

    Loved this series of videos. Really good. After finishing episode 1 do you think pioneer 1 still had some wrong doings or was it all falz? Did pioneer create the mines to dig out the ship? Or were they mining resources out the ship. And what’s the deal with de rol le? Was he a monster from the ruins that managed to make his way up to the caves, were they experimenting on him or was that just speculation? Just wondering how much of the native life changing was down to pioneer 1 or was it completely down to falz creeping out of his containment

    • @SectionSkyly
      @SectionSkyly  3 місяці тому +1

      It's honestly hard to say after just Episode 1. Pioneer 1 were definitely up to something (why build a mine completely out of sight of the Central Dome settlement? Why lie about the 'immigration' pillars?), and I believe it's hinted in later areas that Ragol was specifically chosen, almost as if Pioneer 1 knew something. Ultimately though, I think the awakening of Falz was just horrible timing that Pioneer 1 maybe hadn't banked on.
      As for De Rol, he's definitely not a ruins monster (he's not Dark element, so he's probably not a D-Cell lifeform like the ruins monsters). The Dr. Osto's Research and Unsealed Door quests make it quite clear that scientists on Pioneer 1 were experimenting with Beta772 (De Rol's codename), and it's assumed it broke out of containment and got into the waterways, where it went onto infect everything in Caves. As for where De Rol came from in the first place, I don't think it's really explained.
      I think Pioneer 1 definitely had an impact on Ragol (they were adjusting the climate after all), but I think it was a chain of events that culminated in everyone getting wiped out.

      Play it offline (single player mode) or Government quests (multiplayer story mode) for that.
