“Misinformation, and even disinformation is rampant in the community due to the nature of identity V’s storytelling" SENT ME CUZ REMEMBER WHEN EVERYONE USED TO THINK HELENA BEHEADED TRACY 😭😭😭😭
Omg, I remember that disinformation spreading around 💀 I knew that some people were just trolling but it baffles me that there are people who actually believed that 😭
Also, just noticed that I accidentally mentioned Mary's Xiebianning the second time without censoring the word 💀 Uh, let's hope that UA-cam doesn't notice it 😫
I actually think all of the events in the game carry half truths. While displaying their own stories, they still hint at the lore in their own ways; even blatantly telling us things way before they were revealed. Take the goldenrose theatre for example: the main twist in that event was that Madame Bella wasn’t murdered, but coerced into taking an addictive drug that led to her suicide. This isn’t exactly something to take note of, but when you recognize that it’s actually Mary’s character that plays as Madame Bella, you may find a pattern. Mary’s official lore (revealed in the ashes of memory event) explains to us that Mary actually died due to causes related to suicide. This similarity between the two seemingly unrelated storylines could actually be a clear indicator that each essence and event could carry canonical information. Still not convinced? Think about the newest summer event: one of the endings (mr do it all) reveals that all of the robots on the island were actually human souls trapped within them. This correlates to mech’s lore that suggests her doll contains a remnant of her father’s soul, and also proposes the possibility that the accident that put him inside of the doll wasn’t much of an accident. Furthermore, the two main characters within that event are cowboy and enchantress, two characters that we know had a special relationship inside of the manor which we can also see in the event’s story. Sorry it’s so convoluted lol, I doubt anyone will actually read this through
I don't remember where but someone in an idv video, commented that Alice's va is the same as Eula's from genshin. They also said that Frederick's was Tighanri's but I hope the second one isn't true because of what his VA did.
Ashes of Memory was a MASSIVE improvement of the general story modes we had, I recently replayed the diaries and gosh, the improvement is there. I think Ashes of Memory's different time setting (pre-final game) makes for a nice change. Also, The 5th Anniversary being a journey down the memory lane of the 5 years with some amazing iconic characters was a wonderful event RIGHT before a new era for identity v. (Also yeah, story events arent usually canon, but im pretty sure the information we usually learn about are either a) canon (ex. Chrismtas Nocturne giving more information about Violetta) or b) parallel the canon (ex. Sway's fake identities = Martha's fake identities, Rainmaker' death covered up by a lie = Michiko's death covered up by a lie). So events are also fun sources of lore, especially the ones close to the canon (10 days of memories, christmas events, 2023 valentine events, etc.)! Im incredibly excited for AoM episode 2, especially since it seems to involve Mary and Frederick as the main focus.
AoM is such a breath of fresh air for IDV's lore. Let's be honest the main story was sooooo slow and you could see that NE didn't have ideas for their story or legit didn't care about it, which made me sad. With AoM I feel like they're finally realising how important lore and bringing answers are. I still have complaints about their handling of the story, but let's be optimistic! AoM looks very promising!
i was hoping one day idv could make those story modes like with gardener’s story and such with other character’s games like demi’s, margie’s ect. also hunters too :)) or atleast an animation about it but overall the lore is very interesting despite the fact it can be confusing at times 😭
The biggest confirmation I absolutely adored was the reveal that... Spoiler Nightmare is clearly running the show and the Orpheus we know is nowhere to be seen. "You're a terrible actor" OOOOOH FREDDY BOY YOU DON'T KNOW THE HALF OF IT!
I have to agree with your opinion about ashes of memory, btw, I bought little girl source of evil cosplay!! Somehow I'm going to cosplay eurydice and Alice deross(original skin) in the future!!
So before I watch the video I’ll have my input about the title. I always considered ashes of memory to be a continuation of the story that we are set In when you first play the game. We go back in time ( possibly set 10 years in the past) to see Alice and a young Orpheus( sorry if I misspelled his name). Even when you go back to view the cutscenes again, you can still see the ones you see when you played for the first time( this tells us that they are not getting rid of the original story, simply just adding on to it, and answering questions that we might have had before. After those questions are answered, then we can get back to the main point of the game, if that makes any sense) So this is the original story/ part of the main game, it’s just a continuation of it.
i hope you will make some videos or a long video to summarize the main storyline of Oletus manor as if Time of reunion, ashes of memory 1 and 2. Then analyses and give us more theory. btw i love your style and voice so much.
The problem is that the game has no story. lol They have ideas, but the story was never really developed. You can see it was an afterthought. Now, they're trying to retake it because it's the way they see of actually saving the game. The gameplay changes essentially eliminate IDV as Horror. They know it. This doesn't make IDV stand out that much, so now they want to invest in the story. It's a 6 years old game, and only now they're actually putting effort into consistently building the lore. It says all there is to say.
So I’m kinda a new player and idv is sooo confusing 😭😭 like when I first started playing the story mode was the first thing that started for me and it was ashes of memory? Is that supposed to be what we first started with? Like I need help fr 💀
You can check out the Identity V Fandom wiki if you want to understand the lore better! Honestly, I also refer to this website a lot myself id5.fandom.com/wiki/Identity_V_Wiki
Quick question do you also do content that involve movies if so can you please do a video about a small little film called trick r treat it's anthology film that is a collection of 4 to 5 small little horror stories that take place on the same night of Halloween if you're a fan of anthology films or just horror in general i recommend you watch trick r treat it's a very fun movie 😁

@@LadyBelleslettres It’s so fucking funny how (a very limited) group of peeps still fall for that misinfo. it just sends me
Just like how people still believe that Alice is Orpheus' daughter lmao
as a huge idv lore enthusiast this event made me rise from my grave 🔥🔥
One of the best updates IDV has ever had to its lore 🤭
Finally a story update event that FEELS like a true story update
Also, just noticed that I accidentally mentioned Mary's Xiebianning the second time without censoring the word 💀 Uh, let's hope that UA-cam doesn't notice it 😫

Couldn't have said it better. This was so well written idk why no one else is replying to this 😭
I don't remember where but someone in an idv video, commented that Alice's va is the same as Eula's from genshin. They also said that Frederick's was Tighanri's but I hope the second one isn't true because of what his VA did.
Tighnari's old VA jumpscare 💀 Ugh, I hope it's not true too. I like Frederick's voice and it would be gross if it was Elliot who voiced him.
Is it confirmed ?😢
Guys I’m pretty sure his voice actor is Yuri Lowenthall

“Im sorry to say that im french”
That line is such a classic, lmao
I audibly died when he said that line
@@garfieldenjoyer2543 it went hard ngl
Scariest part of the game
this video was really good i love lore in video games but finding out the idv overall lore is so confusing
Ikr? IDV's lore has great potential, but the lore can be confusing 😓
i was hoping one day idv could make those story modes like with gardener’s story and such with other character’s games like demi’s, margie’s ect. also hunters too :)) or atleast an animation about it but overall the lore is very interesting despite the fact it can be confusing at times 😭

6:35 if you put the video on x2 speed it sounds like there's that French baguette baguette meme audio playing in the bg
I love this video honestly Ashes of Memory has been so cool so far!! :D
Glad you enjoyed the video (and Ashes of Memory)! 😊
So before I watch the video I’ll have my input about the title.

So this is the original story/ part of the main game, it’s just a continuation of it.
it WAS a horror game OGs will remember 😔
i hope you will make some videos or a long video to summarize the main storyline of Oletus manor as if Time of reunion, ashes of memory 1 and 2. Then analyses and give us more theory. btw i love your style and voice so much.
@@nguyen.idv.12 Thank you! ^ ^ Unfortunately, I don't really make IDV videos anymore because I don't play the game anymore.
@@LadyBelleslettres that is so unfortunate, i love this kind of videos u made 🫶

answering the question from the title: YES
To be honest before i played the game i thought it was going to be a story mode then i learned it's more of a pvp.
I admit the games lore can be very interesting but i mostly play the game just to have fun and fuck around with people lol 😆 🤣
It's pronounced Manus nor Magnus
Oops, my bad. Thanks for noting it to me!
@@LadyBelleslettres you're welcome
Quick question do you also do content that involve movies if so can you please do a video about a small little film called trick r treat it's anthology film that is a collection of 4 to 5 small little horror stories that take place on the same night of Halloween if you're a fan of anthology films or just horror in general i recommend you watch trick r treat it's a very fun movie 😁
can you make a video on a game called The Indigo Parallel? it is super trippy
I'll check the game out!
@@LadyBelleslettres awesome!!!
@@PlantModes I just checked out some gameplay and the game looks a little bit scary, haha
@LadyBelleslettres it's more creepy than scary tbh but more trippy than anything haha
👍
