Hi guys

"Our people welcomed you..." it's wonderful when the writers forget what happened in their own story.
this happens multiple times "you should feel honored to be the child of a tanta!" uhmm beeotch why? all ive seen them do is murder and oppress their own people and rule with fear.
I kind of don’t blame them for losing attention to this drivel story. I never would’ve seen the story if it was for IH. Forget pirating it, I didn’t even want to spend the 3 minutes to google it
It's the athian way
Also when they give characters knowledge and then forget they can use it before the player also gets said knowledge.
Like, everyone at the the Cipal council knows about the demon, the war, the Sussy guy, and the bracelets, as they all witnessed it happen. So why is nobody explaining this to Frey at the trial and letting her be aware that she is being guided by a demon? Why isn't the guy just saying "she is controlled by the amogus guy, look, she has the bracelet"? Why is Auden even considering she can be helpful? And later on, why are they so happy to let her be guided by the demon? None of this information was a secret, why did it only become important after we find out about it?
@@ferko28 not to mention every single one of the queens or whatever had a bracelet JUST LIKE HERS!
I love how the plot hinges on Frey being unable to carry both a bag and a cat at the same time
"GoTtA FiNd hOmEr fIrSt!!'
Bruh they had the best writers on this project
Outside of the obvious/braindead “leave the bag” trope, what exactly was stopping Frey from just straight up leaving that night? If anything, the death threats would probably motivate me to grab a cab/Uber and at least get out of Manhattan asap. She had the money.
@@ChatterboxFM the writers
@@ChatterboxFMSmart enough to steal $100k, too dumb to realise $100k is enough to rebuild a life.
Forspoken is like watching an entire DND campaign be derailed by one player’s edgy character.
And the DM is non-stop popping oxy
Nah, it's the DMs girlfriend. The one other player who stuck through had a meltdown about 3/4s into the campaign. I don't blame him.
@Dreckmal01 This, 100% My friend was the DM of our session, and his wife took none of the shit within character, played it as chaotic for chaos sake, and tried to summon a horse in every situation possible. And the DM did nothing because, it was his wife.
It was like playing with poorly written Newgrounds animations that believe "random = comedy."
@@Leoncroi *A horse girl.* It all makes sense.
@@Leoncroi Was her name Auden?
Her mom abandoned her, and she abandoned her cat. The cycle of abandonment never ends
It's a metaphor for non existent parents in poc households
My father abandoned me and if I have children then I'll abandoned them
Well at least she gave the cat directly to somebody she knew.
How brave of cintia to send her daughter to the one place in the multiverse where she would be safe: the New York foster care system!
You can't lose!
I almost threw out from laughing so hard at that comment. Thank you so much for that haha.
Lol. Of course that's just another demonstration of the stupidity of the writers.
100% of babies put up for adoption are adopted, only children, as in no longer babies, who enter the system remain bouncing around in the system
I mean, it could have been worse, she could have been sent to detroit or ohio.
No joke, I've went to Forspoken subreddit and their cope for the terrible writing was "you're too stupid to understand the genius writing" or "you're not in Frey's shoes so your choices/logic is much different than her". Gave me the worst headache I ever had.
You know you've got a likeable protagonist when the final boss calls her a "Purposeless, meaningless wretch" and you agree with him and want him to win.
I was GIDDY with delight at the word "wretch."
@@Providence83wretch is one of those words we need to bring back as a society.
Like the "angel" being stopped and foiled by five insane sorceresses, the whole game has been impeded and defeated by insanely stupid decisions. How poetic that was
I felt a prick in my heart for Susurrus. The only one with a modicum of intelligence, trapped in a realm of idiocy.
I'm not even sure if the protagonist likes herself. Her constant cursing is so dispassionate, almost like she doesn't want to exist.
Incidentally. That Judge probably ended up with some major PTSD and spent the rest of her life thinking she failed Frey, who either commited suicide or was murdered on the streets of New York.
Like the last thing the judge knew. This clearly homeless child said "take my cat, and im gonna do the right thing"
And then just disappeared out of existence.
Wait how can it cause PTSD?
@danielsurvivor1372 Because their last encounter had her in tears as she's giving away a cat she was caring for all this time? Because. Frey is clearly alone and homeless and sounded like a girl about to do something desperate and she was never seen by the Judge again? Keep in mind, that Judge has probably been helping her for a good portion of her life, if not her whole life and clearly cared about her... but instead of letting her know she was alright, Frey sent a message to her damn cat... animal... BRILLIANT STORYTELLING!
Damn that’s pretty fucked up
@@googleisevil8958or it could be that frey got whacked by the car thing and this whole magical non sense thing is her imagination, her dream to be in a magical world like Alice. That would make a whole lot more sense.
Its also the most cop out ending you can possibly write for a setting like this. Like cool, you have all this world building but it turns out its for bullshit - Alice in Wonderland, as amazing as the setting is, doesn't have any particularly deeper meaning beyond what you're looking at, so it makes sense it could be just a bizarre dream setting. or like Samurai Jack, where - as shitty as it is - killing Aku makes all timelines vanish, which is logically consistent.@@TG-wg4tw
Devs: We are going to make the main character a strong african american woman who fights stereotypes
Also devs: makes her a egotistical criminal..
And as someone else pointed out, make the first black kid she meets in the other world try to pickpocket her in her first scene… Yikes.
make her even worse than the stereotypes while also reinforcing the existing ones, great job
I dont see the problem?
@@F11ch she's very terrible protagonist, not exactly a crime but this game is bad enough
They made it realistic in a way.
I love the part where Frey is counting ‘1,2,3…5’ and someone goes ‘wait! Was FOUR SPOKEN?!’
I hate that this made me laugh
"Wait!! MY FORESKIN!!"
Liar. There was no dialogue this good or funny in the entire game.
and then the four spoken all over the place
@@arxehasilent room single applause
The most unrealistic part isn’t the fantasy world and dragon, its actually an abandoned building in Hell’s Kitchen having one theif squatter and not a minimum of twenty crackheads
And at least one dead body
What makes you think Frey isn't a crackhead?
So true lol
They truly went for the high fantasy on this one.
Why is Frey's mom a dragon anyway?
So they spray painted "Found You" on her window in reverse so it would appear correct from the inside. Thats dedication
The N must have been a pain in particular
Haha that must have taken ages with many a “f*uck this, its too hard and not worth it”thrown in
@sophietemple2728 or maybe; after every mistake, they just angerly remove the window with and replace it with an identical window to start over
@@floricel_112 The N in reverse is the cyrillic letter for I.
The funny thing is that this was while she was sleeping, so they somehow presumed that she would wake up, walk to the window, read the message and die. Not jump out the window onto the FIRE ESCAPE because who would do that 😭
The head writer of Forspoken also wrote After Earth starring Will and Jaden Smith and now everything is clear
Wow that explains alot. What a terrible movie.
He just wrote the lore, not any dialog
@@Beefyface I mean the lore for after earth is pretty damn bad too. Alltho in this generally the idea of 4 magical ladys that have specific purposes and they guard the dimension is all nice and i did like the the villain more than any of the main characters. They just really dropped the ball on the very unlikeable protagonist.
Oh my God, it all makes sense now
Not only did they make the two black girls thieves, they also made her black father do a pump'n dump. Truly powerful stuff.
Her coal burner mom also fulfilled her role.
You can’t say the writers didn’t create a realistic story
At least it's accurate
das rite
XD
Olivia got what she deserved. Not just because she was a thief, but a liar as well. She literally said she'd keep the town safe while Fray was gone.
Damn right.
Two mortal sins in Scythian culture.
Our only condolence is that she currently burns in the fires of hades for her crimes
she's the true villain of the story, I'm glad she was forever vanquished
If there's anything worse than a thief... it's a lying thief.
Frey: "I just Killed a Game Studio with my Freaking Mind!"
The ending of this game is so sad and tragic.
The fact that poor Susurrus has to be trapped forever inside the body of a egocentric sociopath thief truly breaks my heart!
And the egocentric sociopath thief gets regarded as a hero and seems to not really die. She doesn't suffer ANY consequences.
More time was spent collectively watching this video than anyone played this game
this might be the first ih video i can't finish
That's probably true ya know
@@stellviahohenheim20:11 watch this part first at least
This is the only way anyone will experience the game. Two men photoshopped in; using their comedic timing and bewilderment to make it palatable.
Also, I absolutely loved OneyPlays series on this. It was absolutely perfect for them and I hope the people will see them finish the game one day.
Any time I see clips from Forspoken I feel like I'll die of second hand cringe.
I like how this game ends with a "don't kill yourself" message because if i spent 70 bucks and 20+ hours on this game that would be my next step too
Hahajaja 😂
Frankly I think it would have been better to end on a message encouraging people to game over.
@Shenaldrac that wasn't the message at the end?
@@Shenaldracoh, young ones.
It should be "If you down on your luck and can't see the road ahead, remember you should become an hero!"
The character who was most adamant that Fray is not alone and that her life is worth living BETRAYED HER TRUST because he was a FUCKING DEMON THE ENTIRE TIME
It would have been meta if Frey was sentenced to 14 hours of community service and the player had to serve it by playing this game.
There are laws against cruel and unusual punishment.
lol
I love how Frey's dad basically dosen't matter at all beyond donating the sauce to Cinitia.
Even better that he’s black, ticking off that stereotype
Literally pumped and dumped, went to get the milk and never returned
@@corporalkills What were they thinking? It wouldn't kill the studio the way it did if they leaned her being bit of Disney Princess, girl with a single father, who found the cuff which says he knows her mom and one thing leads to another and she ends up searching for her mom.
could have at least said the dad died before she was born or something. Now its clear he just went out to get a pack of smokes and was never seen again
The writers thought they were going for realism cuz it would “reflect the modern world.” Which it kinda does.
I just realized. The dead guy was studying the portals, trying to figure out what this mysterious phenomenon was, and the whole time their leaders were just creating them intentionally?
Like, they could have just told him "yeah no that's us making those, don't waste your entire life trying to do scientific research on this".
It's also done by the one he's most familiar with.
But that doesn't answer why Auden Keen looks like a "highly autistic" man
The leaders at that point were not really rational or acting in the interests of their people, so that's not really a plot hole.
@@robbert-janmerk6783 No, you have to remember, the mother had ALREADY gone to new york and gotten knocked up by some stranger at a bar before the fight with susdemon, and the corruption probably took at least a few weeks to even start kicking in, so even if that were the first time she made one (which is pretty doubtful, given I don't believe someone would just accidentally create a portal and immediately walk through it), she'd have had plenty of time to explain it to the man she was allegedly friends with
they knew, but they just thought it would be funny
Can't believe they spent 100$ million dollars just to give us another episode of expleened. Well done.
Worth eevery peeny.
A sacrifice they were willing to make.
100 million dollars to create pure distilled cringe, worth it.
they didn't. they spent $100 million
100 mil to have a game with white woman + black new york man lore because OF COURSE.
the court scene in first minute if the game shows how out of touch writers were. she wears a hat at court, court is xmas eve with just a judge and 2 cops, she has 3 plus felonies and walks away after Sassing the judge
Yes but she's also a woman
@@WreckItRolfe *black
What Forspoken has taught us all is that you should be able to be a self-absorbed, nobility-born, self-pittying, abrassive tool that takes no criticisms, asks no questions and doesn't try to empathise; people will still love you anyway and you'll face no consequences for your actions because your powerful mum and her royal friends will bail you out. Give us the Frey death ending.
Is this what black people think “white privilege” is like?
Honestly the game would be more fun if she was the villain, sort of like The Boys, I would play that.
Imagine you're the judge in this story.
You let off this obnoxious repeat offender criminal girl because it's Christmas.
She shows up at your house randomly to pawn off her cat onto you, a decade long time and money investment.
And then doesn't show up for any of her community service.
A warrant that maybe you have to sign has to go out for her arrest.
Only thing the police can conclude is that she skipped town and disappeared.
This judge now for years has this cat that will remind her why she shouldn't let criminals off easy because the last time she did they completely abused her good will.
That's legitimately the only realistic part of the entire game.
If I was the judge and she gave me the cat like that and then just disappeared, I would assume she had been murdered by a gang or something, not just gone into hiding.
You say that like the judge didn't push the cat out the door after a week.
the courthouse, not the judges house.
Honestly knowing the game im suprised she didnt go back, yell at the judge and saying that everythings her fault etc etc and for the game to act like shes completely right.
I still can't believe she had a Walter White-ass gym bag filled with cash and that wasn't enough to "leave the city". Woman, just move to literally anywhere that's not a city and you can live like a king long enough to find a job. I honestly think the writers considered that bag to be a small amount of money because they've lived in obscenely expensive areas and have never left or considered leaving.
Just a lazy way of showing she’s saved some money
@@Juniar101 "stole"
"Find a job" LOL
@@MAGAMAN wdym robbing and stealing is not a legitimate career my good sir
I got as far as the judge telling her she hast to take responsibility sooner or later for her actions.
that’s not going to happen to this black queen in a video game, or in real life
Susurrus is too good of a character for this game, it's wild how a poorly written protagonist can derail an entire story
Nice bearded dragon!
He was alright at best(his design was neat though) but him telling the MC shut up when she tried talk her way out of the final boss then just blasting her, instantly made him 10 times better.😂 Also him just ranting about how annoying she was throughout the entire game.
Poor Sussy, he deserved to be in a better game
@@bobjones7406 I think sussy looked good and had some good dialogue. Much more entertaining than the arrogant brat protagonist.
Susurrus just reminded me of Grimouri Weiß from Nier. That's why I didn't think he would be the villain.
1. Her mother is basically a queen and couldn't send ONE ADULT to care for baby Frey?
2. She has the powers of the Tantas and doesn't create a portal to New York and take her cat, buy some McDonald's, get back, 30 minutes tops?
3. What happens when she dies naturally? Demon Sus would just come back. Will she give her kid the demon?
4. Why did the Tantas need to die? Was it because they were insane or something and Frey's mom didn't because the bracelet came to New York?
5. If they made this game like Fallout with a silent protagonist it might be better.
Honestly, is there anything stopping Frey from just, like, visiting New York every now and then?
Actually, wait, as I write this I realize she has no Earth friends and thus no reason to. Though, I guess she could become a cryptid for the lols.
@@AzureLlamaher characterisation would be so much better to me , if she's does that.
I’ll answer the first one.
Because activists writers need to insert modern political commentary about whatever they personally feel strongly about, (regardless of actual proliferation of said issue) and that would get in the way.
The funny thing about what you mentioned, Cinta knows who Frey's father is, she is aware of where he lives, she states in the game that one day she will introduce Frey to her father.
Cinta doesn't send Frey to her dad, her dad doesn't know he impregnated her, despite having an ability that would allow her to remedy those issues, she tosses her child in the cold.
Great mother.
Trap the demon in a child, name the kid Naruto.
As someone with wasted potential, I sympathize with the developers
Just go ask a judge to take care of you
@@saschaberger3212truly, they'll put a roof over your head, feed you daily, give you exercise, and a wonderful bedside window to a wonderful sight of the prison courtyard

@@MaxLittleBuddyhey ff15 is better than foreskin, man i miss my bros 😢
Gotta play it again
Frey: What do you wanna say? That I have POTENTIAL? I am a SMART GIRL with a BRIGHT FUTURE?
Judge: No! WTF??? Who told you that? lmao!
You have amazing potential in a life of crime, so, basically, in you go, off with the key, eligible for parole in 50 years.
Judge: "You'll be appointed a public defender. Your trial will be in approximately 6 months. In the meantime, you'll enjoy the hospitality of the New York City penal system."
Frey: "B...but I'm the chosen one!"
Honestly I thought that line was fucking hilarious, idky it’s just so damn funny
@@2percentright
Judge: chosen one? Why yes, you have been chosen for solitary confinement
You know what sucks? Is that Freya's character could have easily been fixed and the story make more sense by just having cuff be with her for her whole life in New York. Being the only thing she had with her since birth it holds sentimental value to her so she always keeps it with her, unaware that the Cuff's anger and hatred is corrupting her which leads her to being so abrasive and hate-filled and into a life of crime. You can sometimes have her be nice so it now shows her true character, that despite Cuff negative influence she still has enough goodness in her to overcome their vices occasionally, instead of using her occasional niceties to present her as an "uwu misunderstood". It'll even make the ending more palpable, where despite Cuff's betrayal and constant attempts on her and her loved ones lives, she still wants to work things out with him and go back to the way things were because that's how deeply those Cuffs meant to her which only heightens through the journey they went on.
Yeah that would have been far more interesting. Should have at least implied the cuff was making her do all the bad stuff in new york. I just think it was a big mistake to make the protagonist unlikeable, arrogant and selfish even tho i guess she was homeless so it makes sense she is all that but who wants to watch a person like that? I mean did she have any other redeeming qualities than she took care of a cat? Also they killed the criminal kid too early she should have realized herself that stealing is bad and teach it to the kid. Also why did she even want to go back to her home when she was in the fantasy land if she was literally just about to do a sudoku before she was sent to the fantasy land. Maybe the whole story is just her dying brain on the pavement imagining a nicer ending.
I love how she is squatting in an abandoned building with functioning electricity and a thousand dollar cat.
Well she obviously stole the cat so at least that part was plausible.
@@Jebu911Touche... lol
It's lucky that none of the Tantas ever mentioned that Frey's bracelet was a demon, because otherwise we wouldn't have gotten that dramatically-appropriate twist in the third act.
You might think that Tantas would at least anticipate the demon trying to corrupt them and implement some safety measures. Or at least tell their subordinates "Oh, BTW if I ever show up acting all crazy, DON'T LISTEN TO ME"
"you are a demon"
"No I'm not!"
"I'm not talking to you I'm talking to the demon on your arm"
Or that society has been governed by woman so long it’s literally become corrupted
It’s also equally lucky that Cuff decided three kills into his list of four revenge targets to randomly betray Frey and temporarily remove her powers when she was still up for killing tantas and that it happened at a time and in a manner where Frey was still on guard and extremely suspicious. Heck he doesn’t even try to trick Frey into thinking him suddenly obtaining humanoid form was a good thing.
@@pokerface4396 "Hey, how about we just toss these bracelets into like tough metal vaults and toss them in the ocean or a volcano or seal them away with our godlike magic?"
"Nah let's wear them 24/7 and be corrupted like a bunch of Gollums"
I love how despite cuff explicitly stating he is the one with the powers, and how every time they kill a tanta, it is clearly cuff who absorbs the power, when he turns on her she tries to cast a spell and goes "huh? MY powers are gone?" It turns whats meant to be a twist into me rolling my eyes at how brain dead and self centred she is to where she picks up a magic bracelet that teleports her, can cast magic, and absorbs God essence and still goes "huh, I thought I was the special one?"
It almost seems intentional that Frey is a self absorbed idiot, but no one really acknowledges it outside maybe the opening dialog between her and cuff.
Weren't you listening? SHE DID IT WITH HER FREAKIN' MIND!
She's so self centered that despite Cuff immediately telling her he doesn't like being called that, she never even bothers to ask him his name.
Yeah like… I get if Frey doesn’t realize at first but after the adrenaline wears off you’d think she’d put two and two together! Every single player is definitely going “It was the cuff. It’s the cuff. The cuff is giving you powers- ITS THE FUCKING CUFF FREY”
Bro you missed the line, its the most famous line. "Did I just do that?" she even repeats it like 6 times afterwards, same delivery.
I just realized something on my whatever numbered rewatch. She got home after being let off easy for stealing a car that she was being paid to do. But she is planning to leave with the money she has, meaning it's enough to leave (more than enough really). But that either means A: she got paid in advance which is just stupid on the gang member's part or B: she had enough to leave new York but decided to take a unnecessarily risky job
i wonder why she didnt just leave that night too
@@Brisk__So the movie can happen!
@@leebarbs7176 duh
So she really went to New York, saw the people getting shot, stabbed, doing drugs, shitting behind dumpsters, pissing into the gutters and thought
“Big buildings cool, what if this, but in my dimension”
She was really into the one night stand culture of new york.
One of my issue with Frey is that she wants to escape the life she has, but when she does, she does nothing but complain and then want to go back to the life that she tried so hard to escape from in the first place.
"man... Live suck, I'mma just jump" to "God, just lemme go back to New York so I can be miserable again and hit the pavement in Minecraft IRL"
I would say being transported to a world without electricity and magic people trying to hunt and murder me is a downgrade. I can't imagine anyone agreeing with this would last more than a day without youtube and their cat.
I mean, as much as this world sucks for her, there is no reason why the magical world couldn't be even worse. Lack of technology is a big factor obviously. Still, it is the execution that was bad.
You will never be happy unless you are with yourself
@@JokerFace090 I would. Provided I have the same superpowers.
The good ending is that frey remembers she needs to do her community service and returns to be a true hero.
Oh yeah, that I never understand. At the end she clearly can travel between worlds, yet she didn't even drop by to check on her cat (you know the one that she traded a bag of money for?) nor did she just say a few words to the only person who cared about her in America: the judge. I wouldn't blame the judge if she think Frey was gonna go off herself somewhere and probably very concerned right now.
What a POS protag.
With her magic powers she can finally stop shoplifting. So stunning and brave.

@@FrankWest-py2se I mean, the big difference is that the cuff was built, and was built for destruction. It was a tool, and it tried to fulfill its purpose.
Multiple courtroom scenes, and you can tell the writers have NEVER been inside a courtroom. $100 million well spent.
They werent but they've seen multiple courtroom scenes from Adam Sandler's movies
Honestly out of everything, that's one of the things that pissed me off the most. "How do you plead?" "Not guilty!" "OK I sentence you to 120h of community service!" like wtf? how did they write that?
When the judge says
“ Sooner or later, you have to take responsibility for your actions”
The writers obviously never been to Chicago, New York or any 3rd world African nation
My favourite bit is they put "IN GOD WE TRUST" behind the judge. That's very rarely found at all in modern courtrooms, much less behind the judge (it's generally in the lobby, if anywhere). I'm not saying it doesn't happen, but it's become exceedingly rare in favor of "Those Who Labour Here Seek Only Truth". This is ESPECIALLY true in New York.
This is something they could have figured out by looking at any pictures of a NY courtroom. But it's not, meaning they didn't even do that and just did the entire design based on how they figured it'd look in their heads.
EDIT: This has also been in the news, because you have a bunch of people who want to bring IN GOD WE TRUST back. They really did 0 research, didn't they?
No it was Christmas dude didn't you even watch the scene
tis the season, ur just a hater ass humbug tbh I commit my crime sprees in December too and they ALWAYS give me my milk and cookies
The fact that this game was the debut release for the studio but did so poorly that they had to shut down in the same year is tragically hilarious
"Horrendously Sensical" is a good sum up as well, wish it'd happen to bigger companies than small ones though lol Would do more good to see them *actually* recoil and pay a price for lackluster effort/false advertising.
Honestly, it's what all developers who approve millennial dialogue/writing deserve. Give me a protagonist who doesn't make sarcastic quips interspersed with "Fuckity fuck mcmotherfuck" every 10 seconds ffs.
If you watched this story and thought to yourself "This is good! Greenlit!" you don't deserve to be in business. Holy crap, this is so hilariously bad.

It's genuinely amazing how the writers managed to make sure every single bad thing that happened benefit her in some way so she didn't have to grow as a character at all. She literally spends the whole game stealing everyone's powers, even her initial character flaw became her core character strength, including stealing the demon at the end. The plot armour is insane.
The game is like a very egotistic unpleasant person holding your hand and telling everything about herself.
In modern writing, it is very popular for writers to project themselves into the characters they create.
Thank you for playing Forskin, this is truly one of the game

I actually think a better ending would have been: Frey is full of anger and is very self absorbed. So rather than the traditional redemption by saving the day arc, Frey gives in to her true nature and joins Mr. Sus-cuff. She has more connection to the only entity which has ever made her feel powerful, she is indifferent to the people of Athia and resents her mother for abandoning her so given the chance she turns on them. Her personality is closer to a villain than a reluctant hero anyway. So instead of the story being "she never dealt with any of her issues or learned to be a better person but she's the hero because she's special" it could be "she gave into her nature and was ultimately more drawn to power, getting what she feels she's owed and revenge."
I think it would have been even better to have her turn villain and cuff be a good guy. He encourages her to absorb the Tanta power because he thinks it will help fix the corruption, but she just enjoys being powerful, and becomes even more self centred as she gets more powerful. After the final Tanta, when she learns that her mother was a Tanta, she banishes Cuff from her arm. The townspeople have to go back to the opposing side from the prior war, and ask them to re-summon Cuff in his angelic form, because if they don't, Frey will destroy both of them, so despite being life-long enemies, they combine forces, re-summon Cuff, and you play as him with the Tanta powers for the final fight.
If you really want to pussy out you can have him just beat the corruption part and she returns to normal, agreeing to take the role her mother did as protector, or go full Shadow of the Colossus, and have Cuff fully beat her, trapping her into some similar accessory as he used to be, then taking up the mantle as protector. You can even weasel it into being woke "it's a story of how the oppressed villagers used their cultural traditions to defend themselves from a tyrant who only had power because they were born into it as a child of a monarch".
Would work especially well if you lean into, like you said, her feeling betrayed by her mother for not protecting her as a child, so she takes her mothers powers to attack Athia, because her mother chose Athia over her. You can even have Cuff begin with bad intentions, but as he sees Frey clearly losing control, has to course-correct because she's a bigger threat. Would be interesting to have him trying to convince the Athians to re-summon him in his powerful angelic form, with them being worried that the "demon" is just trying to trick them into giving it back it's power, but also feeling like they have no choice because he's the only thing strong enough to stop a fully-powered Tanta, as shown in the past. Give Audrey some payoff by having her fathers research actually be about re-summoning Cuff, and he was exiled for it, but it turns out he was right all along that they may need Cuff's power one day. You can even have her show up when both sides are arguing about if they should empower Cuff and give her argument all "My father died for this, looking for a way to protect us, I refuse to have his work go to waste. He may have died, but that doesn't mean we have to." sort of thing. Would even add a personal touch to Frey's defeat that her only 'friend' in town was the one who was the deciding factor in her downfall.
@@Winasaurus oh wow, that 1000% would have been way better! That would be a genuinely interesting story

And she gets her ass sealed by the witches and returns as a baby in an empty valley with no escape, full of giant collapsed statues that used to roam around like they were alive but they were just possessed, like in shadow of the colossus.
Frey is such a great character. As a member of the young and hip community, I appreciate that the developers can write a character that reflects my young and hip generation so well. As many of you are aware, we often like to use curse words and yell about random things happening around us. If you guys are older and curious about being young and hip, I would recommend you play this game.
Zoinks!! As a young and hip individual myself, i totally agree😂😂
Yes, Voosh!
Eh it's a solid 7/10. They didn't namedrop _any_ Hip and Trendy apps.
How do you do, fellow kids?
I love that the game tries to deliver a 'You Matter' speech like anyone could rise to greatness and just kind of... FORGOT that Fray was literally the Chosen One born into power and nobility, like her becoming a big deal is because her mom was a sorcerer-queen? Not the message they thought they were sending.
"Anyone can be anything they want to be, provided they are born into a position of advanced privilege of an elite minority," is VERY realistic storytelling, so, there's that I guess. Brilliant writing turns out...?
And she gives it to a fucking cat
Just like Naruto
@j0hnnyblade just like A LOT of fantasy chosen ones. It's hard to write likeable chosen ones since if they accept they are special then they are unlikeable assholes, and so most of the time they have to have them sort of speak like they are a regular person and that everyone else matters just as much when it is completely wrong.
It’s very common sadly. Look at bleach, one piece and Naruto. Naruto is the most obvious hypocrite with “wow, look at this loser. Can’t do shit. But anyone who tries hard enough can do anything!”
Frey's whole wanting to go home would make more sense if she specified that it's because she misses her cat. There is literally like no other reason to want to return to new york.
what if she _wanted_ to spend 120 hours doing community service
In her case, or in any case.
Gotta get that 'za.
You dont need "literally" or "like" in that sentence. Sounds like something the "protagonist" of this game would say.
Well, she didn't want to stay in a land willing to kill her tho, nor was she probably into the murder the witches plan, so it made sense that she still wanted to go back to escape that.
Well, would have made sense if she said any of it. In fact, she's actually into the witch murder plan before the third witch, but she still wants to go back because ???? Hello????? Fray??? Why????
also the main villain isnt really even a villain, he's literally just doing what he was hired to do. but we wanna take the moral highground and take a side
"Just following orders" doesn't really excuse murdering civilians.
I do agree that the story needed some more moral greyness and in my head canon all the little birds that fly around Sussybaka all represent prayers of the murdered Redditors, making him the embodiment of their grudges towards the power hungry Athian invaders.
@@Edagui97 Sure it does, if that's what you're ordered to do.
Little anecdote: "tanta" is really similar to "tonta" wich is portuguese for "moron"
This storymode gets even better when everytime they say tanta you hear moron instead
Yes, but then you'd have to be, brrr... Portuguese. No amount of enjoyment is worth that.
@balacleaver583
In German, there exists a word called "Tunte", which is a slur against gay men. Wasn´t getting easier the longer the video went.
"Tonto" in spanish is also moron when translated
Same word and same meaning in italian for tonta. Tanta means "a lot" in italian too
I love how she's finally able to contact the *one* person whom cared enough to spare her and take in her only pet. To assure them that she didn't skip town or die in an unnamed ditch. AND SHE TALKS TO THE FUCKING CAT.
like that guy in system shock that calls his wife on his last moments to have her tell his cat that he loves it. but that was intended to be comedic, and i get the feeling this game was serious about it
This game is so cringe.
she can open portals willy-nilly but leaves her cat with a stranger permanently. wow
Probably to avoid she losing her shit ebcause magic and stuff
I seriously thought she transitioned into a monologue but I got whiplash when it focused back in on the cat. Also was that apartment a reused asset from the dream sequence??
Funny how cuffs "punishment" is basically to have to go back to being stuck with Frey. Its almost like they knew she was insufferable. Lastly i cant believe she ditched the cat. She learned nothing and kept abandoning anyone who somehow didnt absolutely hate her.
She didn't even pay the gangsters.
Its fine. The cat is probably better off not being with Frey. Im glad Homer is with someone that seems to be a caring human being

The most unrealistic thing about this game is that she had what looks like a purebred longhaired siamese cat as a homeless person and its fur wasnt matted and covered in shit
No literally, that cat is way too nice looking for an orphan squatter

Game's a DM trying to guide a player who WILL NOT be roleplaying, through a fantasy adventure.
The terrible writing is even funnier in light of all the Sweet Baby stuff
Frey: How are they speaking English?
Cuff: They are actually speaking Rigellian. By an astonishing coincidence both languages are exactly the same.
Probably the biggest handwave in an entire game of handwaving.
I was expecting some sci-fi thing like "Having me accompany you let's you understand any foreign tongue" but I'm thinking of it in the likes of "evil taking many forms" kind of thing, because who better to understand any language so clearly as one who's basically the evil incarnate in that universe wishing to manipulate any idiot he comes across? Very subtle foreshadowing. But y'know something like that would take some thought so this is what we got instead.

"People only give a shit when they want something from you"
On one hand, yes, she is completely right. On the other hand, as far as these people know, they are the last of humanity that's left in the world and until you came in there was no potential solution to the problem, and right now they are essentially days or weeks at best from being completely erased. So while Frey is right that they see her less as a person and more of a tool, the stakes are the highest they could ever be.
"Yes please give a way to leave this godforsaken place and leaving you all alone to die and become mindless monsters, yes I know Im the only one who can do something about it... why dont you care about ME?!"

Even tho they were using her they did earlier throw a party in her honor so they werent just using her without any appreciation. I mean they needed her help she reluctantly helped the world and then they gave her a nice house with a great view and were even gonna give her some political power even tho she had absolutely no merit for that job.
I 100% have more sympathy for Sussus Amongus than for Frey. Like dude was summoned by some guys that wanted to fight some chicks and he gets broken apart and then is stuck with a bratty orphan as a companion when all he wants to do is his job.

That cat is the MVP in this game. No cringe dialogue and totally adorable.
The fluffiest thing ever, one of the best cats in video games it’s so cute
I cried at the end only because SHE LEFT HER!
I have a cat who has a bond with me that is much like the one portrayed between Frey and her cat, here.
The few times I’ve left for a while and come back, I’ve gotten the warmest welcome back ever from my cat. She does miss me, to the point where a camera I had left in the house caught her waiting at the door for me to come back in.
Leaving an animal with a bond like that does, in fact, stress the animal out! She doesn’t even visit afterwards. The poor thing just hears her voice and is left to stare sadly out the window wondering where her person is and why she was left with this stranger!
The Cat would have saved the bag of money First
hi reddit
Say what you want about the budget of this game, but the salary of whoever who did the cat modelling was money well spent.
I love how her vision of a perfect world in NY is her being self righteous and everyone telling her how virtuous she is.
In short; having time and infinite money
Isn't that pretty normal? Doesn't everybody wish to be a well respected member of their community in their ideal world, especially if nobody respects them in the real world?
@@Edagui97 Alltho her dream world still had homeless people for her to help out to seem like a saint. If i was in my ideal world id still want to be rich but i wouldnt want anyone to be homeless.
@@Jebu911 I guess it kinda depends. I think there's a couple of different ways you can be a good person:
1. Be a cog in the machine that helps running the society and not doing evil or
2. Help the downtrodden people as a little or even as a big hero.
Frey's fantasy is the latter, because someone like her probably can't imagine themselves as a simple cog in society and her background in the "streets" can't be completely separated from her persona, hence she is respected in the streets and helping other foster kids. Archivist as a hobo is just her being petty, but even in your own personal ideal fantasy world there would be at least one person you wouldn't want to be as happy as others or alternatively that person wouldn't exist there at all.
Who ever made the character models must have had a deep hatred for the actors behind it
Oh my god, this story of this game is literally, literally the exact fucking same as Amulet. A book series made for children.
I should note, however, that in Amulet the twist about the magic McGuffins being evil was revealed in the first book, which is hilarious because apparently, a book series made for children respected their readers' intelligence more than this game for adults does.
Also, amulet's dialogue doesn't make me want to gouge my eyes out with a rusty spoon.
Oh Amulet, I remember that. It was such a great series. Also had a better protagonist though I suppose that is a pretty low line.
it would be much much forgivable if the demon still maintain his calmness after he reveal himself.
maybe even strike a deal with her. Like "i'll help you return to real life after i absorbed Cinta's power and here are some gold, you can sell em when you're back to your world and start over". its just there are so many things that can be done better.
@@blackforest1646 From what I remember the amulets did that as well (though it has been a while) & it did create a more interesting dynamic between the hero & effectively the 'villain' of the story.

I’d be impressed if they did it and also made a successful game. Any numbskull can write a main character says “poop comes from butts” in a game that sold 3 copies because 2 people were too lazy to get refunds and 1 was the creator’s mother who doesn’t own any game systems or even a computer
Its legit MADNESS that Monica Barbaro is the model the woman who breaks Freya out of prison.
There have been multiple times where I've thought to myself that a lot of what Frey says are things I would think if I was in her place. But they're things I would *think,* not things I would *say out loud.* It's an internal monologue, as in something I say to myself, not to other people. The dialogue feels so unnatural because almost everyone is *saying* what they'd be *thinking.*
True, if it was framed as an inner monolgue it might be less cringe
You know a story is well-written when the genocidal villain is more sympathetic than the hero
And is probably the best character.
@@antifurryfoundation55 he is, I mean if you think about it, the Tantas only said that they waged war with the country of the past and who knows that Tantas might be lying to cover up their invasion(remember that after they sealed susurus, the tanta elders literally took the vambraces on themselves instead of simply destroying them, which made me suspicious that they want to harness his power for themselves instead later on), the attacked kingdom might have summoned susurus to battle the Tantas because they don't wanna get invaded due to how powerful the elders are(and they were right, not even susurus can stand up to them), not to mention he is actually still trying to accomplish his mission given to him even after being sealed which made him the most determined character throughout the whole game, got stuck with frey long enough before finally released from his seal(dude's literally got the patience of a saint, if it were me I'd find some nobody instead who wont at least spew bullshits and berating me for no good reason), and susurus still got shat on by plot armor later on because the writers don't know how to make a compelling story

"Release all of the Pokemon from her PC box and reset her game" hits fucking hard
"I must send my daughter on planet earth so she'll be safe!"
Probably a good idea. You can send her to a nice small quiet country side-
"I'll send her to New York City!"
....... Like mother and daughter I suppose. I bet even she'd find it difficult grabbing a cat and a bag of cash at the same time.
I like how at the end (1:47:50), she tells Cuff / Vambrace that "You're not alone, even when you think you are."
And yet, throughout the game, she dismisses all the help he provided her, undermines any credit for her accomplishments, AND straight up tells him that she's okay with him being a meaningless bauble that gets buried with her.
That dude has been completely alone while stuck on your arm throughout the entirety of the runtime. Don't give him the "you matter" speech when he never mattered to you until he took away all your powers.
yea, the villian stuck with an unlikable protag is actually the most relatable one.
Girl downright shat on Vambrace (Cuff? Susurrus?) the entire fucking time and was surprised Pikachu face when he betrayed her IMMEDIATELY? Like he didn’t even wait until the last Tanta was dead so he could utterly ravage Athia, but wanted out from being near Frey so fast he revealed everything early.
You can tell a tiny bit of that was personal.
They unironically tried to do Grimoire Weiss from Nier. Except while Weiss being pompous is really endearing because you can tell he actually cares and his whole arc is about learning to put himself on the line for other people, Vambrace is just an evil dick that was using Fray all along and it's obvious that they don't really like eachother. So when it comes to them having an emotional moment or whatever it's like "... Wait, weren't you a prick...? Why should I care again.....?"
There's just never that endearing human side to them that the writers seem to think they put there. Sure, he saves you, but he's always obviously just concerned about himself, so it falls super flat.
That and like, he straight up didn't do anything to warrant being shat on like that iirc
Could you imagine... in that scene in which Cuff reveals his true nature, he proceeds to pull Frey apart and end her story then and there for good, lol..
Ah.. what bliss that would be..
The "They welcomed you!" is so hilarious, when they immediately wanted to execute her and had to be persuaded to "only" imprison her. And then later, once they felt threatened again, they were immediately ready to hand her over to her death, as well. They only started welcoming her when she started being useful to them.
And then, when Frey has a single moment of "Oh god, I am going to be stuck here forever..." 3D-scan-gone-wrong girl immediately goes on an angry tirade. And even she only helped Frey, because she thought she would be useful, not out of the goodness of her heart.
You know what, Frey? You go on ahead and steal. Steal all the apples! Freak those guys.
Every single character in this game is insufferable, to a point where it's actually impressive. Like, I've struggled to choose who to root for in a game before - but never because I couldn't choose who I hated less. 10/10.
Oh I love this story! It shows the relatable adventure of a protagonist who suffers from all the struggles of common day life, such as poverty, crime, loneliness, but then all is solved when she discovers that she's the heir of a goddamn magical queen of another dimension. I think this speaks to the experience of each of us
I find it really amusing that Frey's father - who is still alive and lives in the same city - has absolutely no interest in locating his daughter or making contact with her.
Finally, represantation for black fathers.
Well, this isn't high fantasy.
From this, it sounds like it was a one night stand and he probably doesn't even know he has a daughter. I guess Cinta didn't want to share custody across worlds, but you'd think she at least try to send baby Alfredo his way instead of just dumping her on the streets.
@@joinsideke I mean, why does she need to have a child with someone from Earth, anyway? All of Frey's powers come from her mother. Her father is just a random guy called Al.
the most realistic part of the game
5 charges all repeat offense, interrupts/talks back to the judge, still gets no jail time, 120 hours service, and no conviction to speak of. Huge bando apartment downtown with power accessible, (no one else in there somehow) a DUFFEL BAG FULL of money that she’s presumably had for a significant amount of time (somehow safe in this open construction/abandoned building, has a working phone but no bank account?) and the most unbelievable part of all, she’s NOT ON DRUGS?? Living this life, in a major city, a repeat criminal, homeless, with access to money, no bills to speak of, and not on drugs, fck all the way off 😂
at least they got the "father is black and absent" realistically
Female privilige just like real life.
It is quite accurate because she has her privilege of not being a straight white male
Hey! That well lit, nicely furnished, still somehow has all its utilities apartment was abandoned!

Chub Fatsley. My new next character I make in my next game.
"I wish i could go down a rabbit hole" but then when it actually happens and shes a chosen one with powers, spends the entire time complaining and trying to return to her burned out abandoned building.
The thing that bugged me the most was that cuff didnt even need to lie to hide his grand scheme because frey wasnt even curious what the talking magical artifact bound to her was trying to do, she never even asked.
She was way too self-absorbed.
Infact. You could have the tantas point out the fact that amulet is evil, and she would just be like "you just want to take my powers away" because she sees that they also have it.
No real agency, infered responsability, general apathy and cultivated weaponized unawarness. No future.
She straight up abandoned her cat at the end of the game.
They showed that she can teleport.
They showed she probably inherited the power to open portals between realms.
She has the power of Big Sus.
She could get her cat in two minutes if she wanted but she doesn't.
"wait for me"
Bitch, I live for about 10 years, 8 of which are gone. And you can teleport at will. What do you mean wait for me.
All the while giving it an "anti-die" speech like it was gonna fling itself out of the window. "girl, I'm a CAT." lmfao

I like how she says "you don't look like an archivist" as if she's ever seen what an archivist in an alternate dimension looks like, and the archivist isn't wearing any blacksmithing attire anyway

And she only started to care about the people because she found out she is a magic princess and they are her subjects
@@shanebryant799Exactly 😂😂😂
The whole motivation was because of a random child that happens to teach her crafting tutorial for like 10 minutes and the whole game is Frey being rent-free obsessed over this dead child. And when I play it I just burst out laughing when they're mourning over this dead child while there're still corpses left rotting in the street.
Pretty much. I get that it's meant to be a whole "This place is somewhere you have a connection to, actually" thing, but her entire problem was "This isn't my home, I don't care about it", and then because it happened to be her home she suddenly started caring. It's meant to show that she's changed but it just implies she would have probably bolted if her mom didn't happen to be a Tanta in the end.
A perfect time to remind people that, if we actually chose the ending based on Frey's personality and character arc, the ending where Athia dies and she returns broke and homeless to New York is canon.
Literally not true, the DLC confirms that the girl who risked her life to save people several times chose to save everyone in the end.
@@valdish9620 Who is this girl you speak of? A new character in the DLC? They should've included her in the main story. smh
@@valdish9620imagine arguing over this game ahahah
Did you miss the part where she becomes disillusioned with that attitude? That's kind of the whole point of the illusion section (yes it is that on the nose).
@@valdish9620 stop making stuff up, liar 🤢🤢🤮
She seriously just abandoned the cat... she literally has the power to open a portal back, yet she doesnt collect the cat. wow...
As a German this game lost me when the judge wished her a happy birthday prematurely. You just don’t do that.
