    Dedan is probably one of my favorite characters in the game. At first glance, he seems like nothing more than a raging asshole, screaming at innocent Elsens and throwing around baseless insults like a ten-year-old having a temper tantrum online. But looking back on the game, I believe there's a lot more to Dedan than just that aggressive persona. After all, he *is* the only guardian who is actually taking the time to do his job well; Japhet actively attempts to get his subjects killed, and Enoch stubbornly refuses to admit that getting his subjects addicted to sugar is nothing short of sadistic. Meanwhile, as prone to anger as he is, Dedan does an excellent job at keeping his subjects in line and making sure they do the jobs assigned to them, whether that be harvesting smoke from the mines, extracting metal from cows, filling out forms to receive plastic or pouring meat into bottles. Without his guidance and intimidation, the world of OFF would likely fall apart almost instantly, with none of the four elements being effectively produced.
    He's also very protective of his Zone, based on the fact that he's the only guardian who actively attempts to combat the specters; Japhet attempts to ally himself with them, and Enoch uses them in his twisted system to obtain more Elsen corpses. When you meet him in the post office, he even flat out calls Zone 1 "my beloved zone" and claims that he's "dedicated his whole life to this place." And that's not even mentioning the side of him that we see during the flashbacks in the Room...
    Dedan is definitely one of the more complex characters in the game, and i think it's a bit unfair that parts of the fandom portray him as nothing more than a guy who loves to scream and swear. Not to say that he's some sweetheart that loves everyone and just wants to spread happiness and friendship throughout the land, but... he's not as one-dimensional as some people think. No one is, really.

      Beautifully written. I feel the same, Dedan's the best of the worst, but I've always had an affinity to angry characters. Rorschach from Watchmen was my favourite because his aggression was built from a foundation of pain in history than just perpetual anger for its own sake, but that's a character analysis for another page (and there really isn't much of a comparison to Dedan otherwise lol).

    One thing that no one seems to mention, is that Dedan is the only one of the guardians who is actually shown to have distaste for the spirits. Unlike Japhet, who claims to be their master, and Enoch, who is implied to be using them as a source of corpses, Dedan is as actively shown opposing them, both in the office scene and (presumably) planning to do so in the barn before the batter showed up.

      @@Ol_Iron You know, that's actually a pretty valid explanation. There's a type of Spectre called the "Common Spectre" (basic bedsheet ghost enemy)... except it's not actually common and they disappear from the game after a while. But it would make sense if Dedan is behind that: he is the only Guardian who is ACTUALLY DOING his job (protecting against the Spectres).
      That also might explain why Dedan has the lowest stats of the Guardians when you fight him. Dedan is NOT actually weaker than Japhet or Dedan, it's just that the Batter fought Dedan after Dedan had spent most of his energy. Remember, Japhet mostly watched from the sidelines as his subjects forgot him and then he spent more time running around in Valeries body without his full power, while Enoch just sat his fatass in his office without doing any serious hard work.
      Dedan was THE ONLY GUARDIAN who was spending his HP and his CP to fight the Spectres, and he was also running around the entire Zone 1 to make sure his workers were doing their jobs. So when the Batter challenges Dedan in his office, Dedan's battle stats had become lower than the other Guardians because he was working his ass off without resting.

And look at what that did! Because Jesus christ, the Critic Burnt is depressing. All Dedan (probably) did was yell at some people.

      Dedan actually did his job and attended to his duties as inspector. I mean if the Batter hadn't interfered Dedan probably would've helped the Elsen with the barn, he did tell them he would've done it if he hadn't been replaced by some stranger with a baseball bat.
      Plus he predicted the Batter's goal and mindset before the player even knew. The Batter is a prig and he does think of himself as better than anyone else (being 'pure' and all). Dedan is surprisingly perceptive of people even from just hearing of their actions.
      I equally like all the Guardians, but Dedan is the most functional and sane out of all of them.

    Dedan may be kind of a jerk, but throughout the course of the batter's time in zone 1, he's in the right.
    - He gets mad at the Elsen for letting a stranger into a dangerous area
    - When he believes the batter is a specter, the batter does nothing to dissuade him (and the floating ethereal onion ring doesn't help)
    - He gives the batter a chance to leave in peace nonetheless, with a fair warning
    - He is rightfully annoyed that no one else can fight the specters (this anger towards the Elsen may stem from receiving no aid in this regard)
    - He never once sways in his loyalties to the queen
    - He protects his zone to the bitter end
    It just goes to show that perspective is everything, especially in this game.

      It's also the double edged sword of purity. The only purity is in pure blackness. in nothingness, nothing can be corrupt. The Batter's goal was always "purity". If there is no one to be corrupt, and no world to go against anyone's morality, then that is true purity.

    I've loved OFF for years, and I very recently managed to get a friend to start playing it. (She's up to the mall in zone 2)
    After playing, I was walking her home and sort of asking her what she felt about the game so far. During this conversation I happened to bring up Dedan, which seemed to confuse her. I explained who I meant, thinking that perhaps she just hadn't picked up on the name right away, but this only seemed to confuse her more, with her responding "That was a dude??"
    Apparently she had mis-remembered some dialogue and thought that Dedan was The Queen.

All he needed to correctly judge him was the knowledge of his actions. He was wrong about the great extent of The Batter's capability, but calling him a prig who thinks himself better than everyone was right. The Batter considered nothing pure except himself.
      Also, Dedan was the only Guardian who was still doing their job. Japhet turned to terrorize his subjects and Enoch let his Zone rot in neglect as he sat in his office all day. Dedan still did routine check-ups on his land, helped his subjects with the spectres (assuming that one time the Batter did it instead made him jealous and vengeful because the Elsen thought someone more capable than him, I mean Dedan did say he would've done it if he hadn't been replaced) and attended to his duties as inspector.

    Dedan actually had a legitimate reason to be angry at the Batter from the start of the game. Imagine this, you are an envoy of the most respected figure in the entire game (I.e The Queen) who probably has very high expectations of you, and one day you find some random guy with a baseball bat doing your job for you. Wouldn't that infuriate you? In a world where work is everything and everyone takes pride in their work, having either a seemingly inexperienced worker or someone who is more skilled at your job than you are both very embarrassing for someone as high ranked as Dedan. Dedan didn't want to Batter to succeed in purifying the barns, he didn't want to feel as though he was being any less useful or replaceable. It could also be that we are supposed to imply that he is always angry from his introduction, but we know there was at least one point in time where all of the Guardians were happy... things used to be very different.
    [I don't know if I will comment for every character, it will depend on when I feel I have processed enough information to leave one (even though I have had a few years to process this game).

      I actually agree with this analysis, and I would like to add my own two cents to that.
      Remember, we know there was a time when Dedan (like the other Guardians) was optimistic and happy. In The Room, the past version of Dedan wanted to make a world where everyone had fulfilling jobs and maintain harmony together.
      *_But he failed._*
      Despite Dedan's ideals, the present time reveals that he still couldn't successfully build a happy world of satisfied workers and world harmony. It's no wonder that Dedan wants to be useful and irreplaceable, he feels that he let everyone down: the Queen, his fellow Guardians, and himself. No matter how hard Dedan fights the spectres, no matter how badly Dedan scares his Elsens into working, no matter how many hours Dedan pours into his industry... it's not enough. The wonderful utopia that he wanted is forever out of reach, and I think that Dedan knows it deep down. It's why he acts so angry to The Batter and to the Elsens; he's projecting his rage at his own failures onto them.
      *Which is pretty tragic, because **_Dedan is ironically the BEST Guardian_** out of all three.* Because Enoch forces his Zone's population to get addicted to drugs and uses their cremated bodies for that drug, and Japhet straight up tries to commit genocide onto his own Zone even though it was his own fault for spoiling them. Dedan, meanwhile, is the only Guardian who actively tries to improve his Zone by giving his Elsens jobs in several industries, traveling around the Zone to fight the spectres on his own, and ensures that his business exports are shipped out to other Zones in order to keep the world running. Dedan probably does not even know that the other Guardians have become true monsters: Dedan would be horrified and beyond pissed off if he learned how Enoch makes sugar or if he learned how Japhet completely abandoned his duties. At least Dedan genuinely puts in effort to make his dreams for the world come true.
      Dedan is a man who could never be satisfied by the hard work that he put into the world, even though he is probably the single hardest worker in the entire game world.

    I just learned this today when I tried to beat the game with as few kills as possible: Dedan will straight-up stop attacking once he's used up all his CP, since all his attacks consume CP. Mortis didn't give him a basic attack like he did Japhet and Enoch, which means that once Dedan's used up all his CP he just sits there like a chump and lets the Batter wail on him. Kind of ironic, given his personality...

    • @Hithere-fp1yv
      @Hithere-fp1yv 5 місяців тому +13

      This actually makes sense, as his theme slowing down to that drum at the end implies how exhausted he is at the end of the fight. I mean, he’s been working his butt off beating up the specters, and by the time he fights the batter he is probably exhausted. I feel like him stopping his attacks is him being fully exhausted and falling over, letting the Batter beat him up.

Zone 1's Elsens, meanwhile, are just nervous bois who are trying to keep their heads down and do their jobs, and things only get out of hand when they have to face the stress of dealing with intruders (Spectres, the Batter).

    The rhythm-drag at 1:07 sounds onomatopoeaic with the spinning of a revolver barrel, which I find fitting in the circumstance.
    This whole song is an angry "Fuck you; you're dead meat!" with an aching sadness belying it. In-line with the themes of OFF itself, this is a song about pain, fatigue, and functionally overwhelming emotion that oscillates between a screaming fervor and a crippling despair.
    The orchestra isn't even real; it's all in your head. And the barrel just keeps on _spinning._

    I'd say of all the guardians, Dedan is the only one who wasn't truly corrupt and the only one who didn't deserve his death sentence and execution. I mean sure, he was really harsh on his workers, but that's about it, every single part of zone 1 fulfilled its purpose with no malfunction and overall well-being of the elsen was relatively good, and out of the three guardians, he was the only one who was actually fighting the spectres. The Batter didn't put much effort into trying to reason with him, or simply didn't care to do so, and it ended up being a "kill or be killed" situation :v

      I didn't game over to any of the guardians my first run through. The first time I got a game over was when fighting Sugar (not knowing about the poison trick).

      6 years later this made me realize I never got a game over. Now I'm curious what it's like

    This song really reminds me of "The end is nigh" from LISA (I know off came first), and i don´t really know why

    • @EnderQuartzMC
      @EnderQuartzMC 8 років тому

      It does sound kind of similar in terms of pacing. Maybe the LISA dev got inspiration from this song?

    • @grimmspark594
      @grimmspark594 8 років тому +3

      Maybe it´s because in both "The end in nigh" and "Fake orchestra" you are fighting against a strong warrior that decides to end you due to the fact that you are "corrupt" inside (Brad killed dozens of men and the Batter being "a big ducky")

      Honestly, I'm not hearing it as much as I could.
      The similarities are there, especially with the percussion in some parts.

    The part at 0:23 plays different beats in both ears separately if you use stereo headphones

    I like how Dedan is the hardest boss in the game (for me) because he's the rudest out of all of them.

    The title of this song sounds like a Mother 3 song title for whatever reason
    ...the song itself, on the other hand, is definitely OFF.

    (is in french and english)
    Dedan: parlons-en: pourquoi est-il si vulgaire? il maltraite les elsens et il n'a même pas l'idée de faire les choses correctement: pourquoi faire sortir le métal des vaches? le plastiques de cartons? la viande d'une fontaine? dedan n'a su faire les choses correctement. la musique montre parfaitement que dedan regrette se qu'il a fait, avec l'air guerrier qu'elle dégage. voilà pourquoi ilpérsecute les elsens: il les considère (ou bien il considère leur travail) comme mal fait, mal fichu.
    dedan regrette le monde qu'il a crée.
    in english:
    Dedan: let's talk about it: why is it so vulgar? he mistreats the elsens and he does not even have the idea of ​​doing things right: why get the metal out of the cows? cartons plastics? the meat of a fountain? dedan did not do things properly. the music shows perfectly that Dedan regrets that he has done, with the warlike air she releases. that is why he experiences the elsens: he considers them (or he considers their work) as badly done, badly done.
    dedan regrets the world he created.
