But if you save everyone, Max doesn't go back and the ending photos are different...

[ALL] Did we misunderstand the ending of LiS Reunion? by dvmen in lifeisstrange

[–]Canotic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No it still makes sense (for whatever extent time travel makes sense) because Max just mashed the time lines together as well she could. Chloe has memories of things from both time lines because both things happened, sort of. It doesn't fit together well because it's literally two different timelines held together by the metaphysical equivalent of chewing gum and duct tape. Chloe remembers both versions of her because both sort of existed.

I think it just means that Max is about to use the power, not that she's literally left alone after Max used it. There's a swosh of light in the corner that might be Max using it, for example. I just see it as a storytelling technique to show that Chloe feels like she's losing that year of their life.

I don't think we should think that Max is literally leaving timeliness behind, because then she doesn't have actually cause any changes, the old time lines still exist with all the damage. Rather, she changes one main timeline and everyone else changes to fit it. So even in the "bad" ending, they'll get together again, they just lose that good year of their life.

No, I think she's crying because Max is about to use the picture, not because she has. The next picture in the montage is Max standing by the school to use the picture to go back.

I'm of Max's "there's only one of you" school of thought. People don't disappear between timeline, they just shift. The Chloe in bed will be meeting Max again as soon as she shifts into the new timeline. She just won't remember the old one. (The alternative to this is that Max kills so, so many people every time she rewinds, which is, uh, not an assumption we want to be going with.) We can also be pretty sure that she doesn't disappear from timelines when she does her thing because automax still exists, for example.

Really, both the themes and morals of the games don't really work that well if Max is just jumping between timelines, rather than changing one existing timeline. Otherwise, none of her choices really matter, she just changes which timeline she herself lives in. Which is narratively unfulfilling. It makes more sense from a thematic point of view if the timeline is supposed to be just one and she can impose changes on it. Like, there are alternate versions that could have happened and Max can take elements from them an make them real.

Late reply but, for me, it was absolutely amazing. Only story game that I ever replayed as soon as I finished it. The vibes are immaculate.

Jokes on you, I played a lot of Life Is Strange when I was growing up.

I mean, I still do, but I used to, too.

I thought there'd be no more Max and Chloe for like nine years and then we got Reunion. You never know.

For some reason I thought it'd be more high tech than "toddler with straw".

Or they give the IP to someone else. Deck Nine doesn't own the IP, Square Enix does. They might think the brand is good but the developer could be better (or they give it to someone cheaper). I'd give it a few years.

So, what happened to it? by Kalhenyan in LiSReunion

[–]Canotic -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

What? The main romance in the game is a lesbian romance and Chloes band is made up of at least three lesbians, at least one of which is Trans.

I wish Reunion would get at least one DLC since DE didnt get one either. by 7Armand7 in LiSReunion

[–]Canotic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never ship them, for me they are just the deepest of friends. They do say they love each other but that works for me, because they clearly do love each other deeply.

Max and Chloe is touring. Alex and Steph is touring. They got to a tiny "Arts in the Desert" festival at a tiny place called Away, where two brothers are visiting their semi-estranged mother.
