    The main thing that makes Zavala's questioning of the Traveler warranted was during Witch Queen when we found out Savathun was given the light instead of stolen.

    The reason why it "didnt matter" to you Destin in the Microcosm quest is because the highest member of your fireteam brought your ligjt level up to minus 5 what they were. So if they were quite high it would make it easier. If you were all -40+ then it would be significantly different.

    Travis really let me down saying that was out of left field for zavala. Does he not remember zavala literally almost smashing his own table when he found out the traveler let the hive, our most devious adversary, have the light. Not to mention the dark future lorebook that showed that zavala can be broken.

    The problem with The Witness is, up until The Final Shape campaign, you had zero interaction with him. He was just this random dude whose face we've first seen at the end of the WQ campaign, then he had a couple of innocent lines in LF, he got mentioned a bunch of times here and there, and then he entered the traveler mumbling to himself under his coat. Hardly a fearsome believable antagonist with a proper buildup. They salvaged this mostly in the Final Shape, I especially loved how he tried to convert all the vanguard heroes to his side and then started speaking some ancient language during his bossfights, that part was cool. However I still would have liked if he was built up as the villain a little bit better over the years.

    My biggest issue is like... As powerful as The Witness is/was... Why did he give us a way to beat him?! Also, this entity was a god and has been around for eons before the Collapse that he caused. Beating it should have been D3 alone.

    • @loopygordo
      @loopygordo 3 місяці тому +3

      He didn't. A consequence of being inside the pale heart is memory becoming physical. The nature of the light and the inside of the traveler pulled that memory and made it real.

    • @kylemccormack1785

      Yeah my friend, you misunderstood what happened and perhaps what The Witness is. We know from the collectors edition that the concept of The Final Shape led to a genocidal event with a political overtone, followed by the mass su1cide event that birthed the Witness. It's a creature formed from psychic trauma and using the Dark to form mental connections and shape the minds. But the political part still plays a role, there were members of the species that were dissidents and the Light made the memory of them into physical objects we could manipulate and interact with.

  • @rayvenredfield
    @rayvenredfield 3 місяці тому +20

    As far as I'm concerned regarding the perceived shortcomings with Zavala's arc during the campaign; Loss, and the trauma, regret and pain relating to it are not so easy to get over, as I'm sure many can attest to. Zavala not only buried his wife and son when they first died, but he then had to again bury Safiyah (metaphorically) again during Season of the Haunted, only to have those wounds ripped open, not once, but twice within the span of a year, by temptation from The Witness. Someone we KNOW deliberately uses our desires against us in a vivid fashion.
    To me, him wanting to fall to temptation made sense. He never truly let go of the regret and pain he felt from their loss, and when offered the chance to see and be with both Safiyah and Hakim again, of course he'd consider it. Not to mention his crisis of faith regarding The Traveler all throughout the last year of seasons. Had Targe not sacrificed himself (and Lance not died, so Bungie didn't want to taint his legacy), I wholeheartedly believe that Zavala would have fallen to The Witness.

  • @Alcatraz760
    @Alcatraz760 3 місяці тому +8

    I think Zavala's arc is muddied by 2 plotlines, is it about his family or is it about the dissenters? Because it felt like most of it was spent about the dissenters, which in the end he was correct about them, since without the dissenters we couldn't defeat the witness.

    • @thrilla72

    • @MrJakeasaur98
      @MrJakeasaur98 3 місяці тому +7

      Absolutely. We got insight into his history in Season of the Haunted (in terms of cutscenes and stuff, it existed in lore before then). It was developed in subsequent seasons and expansions. I don't think he "overcame" his grief at all in Haunted. He was reminded of it. Cayde acknowledged as much during The Final Shape campaign, that the others needed to learn to let go and that it wasn't fair his being there was rubbing salt in their wounds. Likewise, the Witness was rubbing salt in Zavala's wounds by reminding him of his losses and what it could offer. His faith in the Traveller was also challenged before - when he learned that the Traveller had resurrected Savathun and her Lucent Hive. His faltering faith in The Final Shape is an extension of these plot threads.
      Even then, it was clear to me that he wasn't going in the direction of falling to the Witness during this campaign. Whilst his faith in the Traveller faltered, he remained stalwart in his opposition of the Witness. He recognised the threat it posed. His first cutscene in the Pale Heart included dialogue on this position when he was talking to Ikora about Saffi. Zavala in the campaign was not at risk of turning, but of recklessly throwing his life away. It took Targe sacrificing himself to help Zavala see sense.

    • @michaelireland5505

      I just feel like it came outta no were from the energy he was giving at the start of the campaign because he was gun ho at the start then boom sad sacks the next time we see him. I get that the memory of his old house and that will play a big part in causing his change of mindset but then at the end of the strike and the start of the next mission later in the campaign he's goes full nuclear. Especially from what I thought was acceptance at the end of season of the huanted

    • @matb6140
      @matb6140 3 місяці тому +4

      Perhaps that feeling that it came out of nowhere may also be related to the change of voice actor. Lance's tone and version of Zavala was more timid compared to Keith's more gravelly voice.

    • @endub6551
      @endub6551 3 місяці тому +3

      As someone who plays every expansion but really fell off of seasons and missed his story in haunted, I thought it worked well here. I assume they included it, even if it is a bit of a rehash, because many people like me missed it and its extremely important we know the main characters' motivations in this campaign.

  • @EliteBlackSash
    @EliteBlackSash 3 місяці тому +13

    Zavala’s brush with The Dissenters was the breakthrough he has been looking for, presumably, for centuries. He has been disappointed with The Traveler since his son. Disillusioned with The Traveler since at least The Red War. And flat out, losing all faith since the arrival of the Black fleet and the choosing of The Hive. The Traveler actually moving but staying did give him some hope but then it failed to stop The Witness. Zavala’s story, to me, is not about wanting his family back. He flat out says that he knew he Had to tell The Witness no. Zavala’s story was about a Breakthrough. The whispers finally gave him HOPE. He finally felt something other than powerlessness, which he has felt since his son’s death and throughout the seasons. And Ikora basically pushed him further into it by not understanding that. She completely misunderstood his feelings and motivation. This was about Zavala feeling useful. Saint 14 found purpose. Osiris found purpose. Crow found purpose. Eris found purpose. Etc etc and we supported each one of them through their moment. Zavala just spent the whole time feeling like, What can I do? And why isn’t The Traveler fighting?! And Ikora basically shut him down. That’s why he kept saying, “You all have taken unimaginable risks!” The Dissenters offered him a glimmer of hope and a sense of purpose. It finally gave him a mission that felt consequential. Something HE could do. AND…. He was right. Zavala’s gamble is THE reason we won.

    There was a line from one of the dissenters that was like “we’re too weak” and at that moment I got really excited for the conclusion to be that Zavala does submit himself into The Witness, then fulfills his ultimate role as Commander by becoming a leader inside the Witness, uniting the Dissenters and ultimately splitting him back into multiple entities. The idea of losing Zavala, then fighting The Witness on the outside while Zavala (unknown to us) is rallying a new army inside would’ve been a cool Gandalf the Grey/White moment, where he bursts out of The Witness, weakening it enough for us to start picking off individual entities.

    I just don't understand why everyone is gushing over this expansion.
    Was is bad? No, we've definitely had a lot worse. But it's nowhere near Forsaken.
    Can it get there? Of course. We haven't even really scratched the surface of this one yet.
    Plus this story was almost all worthless. There wasn't any real in depth character development. We finally got a explanation to the Witness's origin. Ok, so if it wasn't going to be a in depth story like WitchQueen, then was it at least entertaining like Forsaken? No on both parts. So other than the Witness origin backstory, the campaign was nothing but time wasting filler, at challenging difficulties (at times) for us to earn power leveling gear, and a new exotic item. It's almost like the Red War campaign all over again. (All the good story parts are in the after campaign content)
    As far as the Pale Heart (open world experience) I'm torn. Having the "open world" be solo (outside of matchmaking in Overgrowth) is boring. But it does allow you to do puzzles and pathfinder challenges without it not being unavailable because someone else did it.
    Lastly the big push in content and rewards to be done/earned through team play, after the biggest content drought, and biggest playerbase fall off just seems ridiculous, and a clear sign on how out of touch these devs continue to be with the playerbase.

    Bungie cooked. My only complaint was with the enemy factions, I don't think the Fallen or Cabal should have been enemies in the Pale heart. With all of the moralizing of their species and factions in previous stories and seasons, it felt awkward having to fight them even if they were loosely justified in the story. But other than that the expansion slapped. I agree with you guys that the Witness was originally pretty lackluster but the Final Shape gave us a better story for him. Excision was one of the best moments in Destiny history. Watching the raid race and then jumping into that mission was surreal.

    The Final Shape is a massive W. I'd probably give it a 9.5/10
    I do wonder where Elsie Bray was during the campaign though. Maybe I've missed a story beat or two and there is a good reason why she wasn't present, but I kinda thought that she would be a natural piece of the ensemble
    And yes, the "episode" being exactly the same as a season (at least in act 1) caught me by surprise. I expected some similarities, but this is pretty much a copy. We're supposed to get an exotic mission with "Echoes" at least. I am having really high hopes for this one, considering how amazing The Final Shape was. A Nessus Exotic Mission ( we already have a Vex Network exotic mission, so I'm betting my money on a Nessus EM) could be interesting. A good exotic mission is always a massive plus to the overall impression of a season/episode

    Counterpoint; Whilst many say this is a triumph, I have found the campaign tedious and a real slog so far. I'm not keen on the raid mechanics, and it's a real bottle neck neck for me to get to the rest of the game. BTW, playing solo, I know it's very easy in a team, but much harder solo. FYI I have over a thousand hours in D1+DS. Also, why do we have to rank up Rahool and Xur now? WTF?

    I comment this on their stuff a lot. Maybe they could resell old 1s for $10 and let people who own the expansions access them. Win win
    And a big thank you. For 10 years of fun. Through the good times and bad times. Ive had years of fun thanks to all their work. In celebration. Im gonna buy some Silver. Win win. Guardian out

    I still will always believe forsaken is still the best dlc it paved way for final shape .
    So i have a few issues surrounding the dlc , its mainly around the around the power grind , prior to final shape launch bungie stated we want power to matter , yet in final shape we are now capped at 5 under for almost every activity , so whats really the point of the power grind anymore ?.
    2nd gripe is surges now added to every dungeon and raid everyone has been massivly negitive towards the change as now everyone is forced to use certain weapons each week otherwise u loose out on big damage , thats not build variety , its also gonna make endgame very boring eventually and no one is gonna wanna bother with dungeons and raids till certain surges are active .
    While i think the raid is good , i also see that the raid aint very new player and casual friendly , its litreally a lfg nightmare .
    I wish for the campaign we had more interaction with the witness but u had to really wait till final mission to face him , i would of loved the witness to show up more during the campaign in person as hinderence .
    Overall the final shape dlc is a 8 put of 10 and is 2nd to forsaken dlc .

    Prismatic isn't tha best class, as we all thought.. it just Works, with tha other classes. It allows us to do things we couldn't before, while in actuality.. that is ALL it does. It doesn't have it's own Super, it just allows us to mix some of our fav moves together. .. Personally, I still main my Nightstalker & Gunslinger setups while still have'n fun with Pris 🤷🏾‍♂️
    I dig what y'all say'n tho. .. don't get my start twisted, it's just funny to see this channel back on after I even forgot I followed it & you DO have negative criticisms lol

      If we’re being completely real, they could’ve over delivered if they really wanted to. I don’t think that’s what Final Shape was. Content wise it still isn’t too far ahead of the last three to four expansions. Forsaken still had an absurd amount of exotics, guns, armor, a whole extra destination and game mode, etc.
      I’m not trying to compare, I love final shape, but I lowkey still want that from another Destiny expansion and I thought maybe we’d get that.

    15:43 you have to remember, though, they are expecting a lot of people who haven’t played Destiny in a long time to come back for this, as well as new players. So they really didn’t have a choice, but to make the first mission or two slow, so that new people could get up to speed with the way things work.

    The seasonal activity is kinda not great. I’d much rather play Onslaught. Several of the new weapons are cool. I’m also a solo player so I’m not extremely happy about the direction they are heading. Can’t use headsets because of hearing issues. Hopefully there will be other ways to unlock chances at getting exotic class item drops.

    The LFG requirements is why I've only ever done like 3 raids in the entirety of Destiny's existence. It's also why I'll likely never get to do the new duality mission. I'm forced to live on a laptop and play in public spaces, so I effectively can't do voice. Because of that pretty much no one will take me on a raid, and those who do require I have done the raid, soooo catch 22 there.

    Calling Paul Tassi out....
    You are a journalist and you should report fairly. Why have you not said 1 thing about Bubgie lying to everyone on seasonal model??? On video they said they were redefining the seasonal model to deliver better content less often. So why in all hell is echoes season 24? Same fetch quest, same 3 man event, same radio message, same text based dialog, same armor, same fetch and display your items.
    This is 100% the exact same damn model that's been used for years now. So when will someone call this bs out? It's a bold faced lie to everyone.
    Lets also add in total removal of bounties and bright dust farming again pushing people to real money buy items. Man if you ignore this glaringly obvious lie and scam I lose 100% respect and trust of anything you publish/release.
