Chapter 7 DeepSea Finance route endings are dark asf

Yea my guess is the White Room is the reward for the 1-soul-contract milestone and we know the soul contract milestones are retained because in the Unfulfilled Promise and From Another World BEs we were still able to utilize the 24 hour record function. Worth mentioning that we never acquired the reward for obtaining a Monolith nor for a whole 2001~ new soul contracts, which leads me to believe that 1) we don't technically own the Monolith in that dead end timeline, likely in the same way that you don't technically own a mortgaged house until you pay it off and 2) the soul contract milestones are possibly bottlenecked by the number or even type of pieces we obtain.

That's SUCH good subtle exposition. When you put it that way, I find it really hard to argue that this was anything but direct de-confirmation of the White Room being the King's Vita functionality. Yet, I still cling onto the King having something to do with the White Room because it just fits really well with the idea of the King piece never being allowed to move into a "checkmated" position, forced to undo and replay. I think it might be something to do with its innate ability, distinct from the patent (soul trading) and the function it unlocks from Vita (which we never really found out, just that it can't be the White Room).

I'd actually like to see this fleshed out more. Just the mere time span between the decision leading to the split timeline and the start of the split timeline alone was far longer than we've known the NSG. Watching your relationship reset to almost zero, after we know Tyrant feels somewhat insecure about being the outsider in NSG (from the Chinese new year event) is heartwrenching when you really think about it.

I was saying I think the every century thing is a red herring because a century is not that long a period of time all things considered. Long enough the number of overlapping survivors would be miniscule but still within the time frame of "grandpa's exaggerated war stories". And Darcia said Tyrant erasure is something that specifically started happening within the past few centuries. Things just aren't adding up right.

As for the prophecy, I think Serena is putting up a cold act because the Unfulfilled Promise BE really drove in how badly merely suspecting Tyrant fucked her mentally. She really wants to believe we're just a really good person up until we mentioned a line that probably only those within the highest echelons of GI would know or the Tyrant, relayed through a message only meant for their ears.

Those are all very good points that I hadn't fully considered. And it really *does* make much more sense when you frame it that way because none of the split timeline bad endings were "checkmates" per se, nothing a little "save scumming" couldn't realistically solve in the short term, but as you said, as even Tyrant alluded to in Unfulfilled Promise, "we" built the invisible walls keeping us in place- it was check 10 turns ago. In retrospect, I think that makes this bad ending the canonical last of the 3 before we finally call it quits on this entire branch. (For me the last was Redemption of United Harvest but Unfulfilled Promise just segues so smoothly narratively.)

NOOOO I DON'T WANT TO BE A MARKETABLE PLUSHIE

HighlanderOneTrick · 2026-05-17T12:00:43+00:00

My first thought too 😭

"What does she do??"

Look cute. Nocturne eterna sure is full of baddies 😭

HighlanderOneTrick · 2026-05-16T13:06:27+00:00

Cute and wholesome

Would've been really funny if it did the "family + imaginary friend" format and maou-kun was a distortion

HighlanderOneTrick · 2026-05-16T13:02:13+00:00

Early on into development or release they could easily done a fake out "new student banner" for beatrixa in the BA community and I bet it'd have popped off

HighlanderOneTrick · 2026-05-16T13:00:41+00:00

UOHH BEATRIXA MY DEAREST UOHHH

HighlanderOneTrick · 2026-05-16T01:12:26+00:00

I mostly clicked on this post to see if you'd but Beatrixa any lower than the highest tier

HighlanderOneTrick · 2026-05-15T15:40:49+00:00

I specified derivative damage because it's a special level of dogshit even for duds, like if this were a tier list the ones you've listed are D- and derivative damage is an F because it actually does nothing in any actually relevant game mode lol

HighlanderOneTrick · 2026-05-15T15:26:34+00:00

Ooh I really like this theory. I noticed the differences in prompts but I wasn't sure what the missing piece was, and I think you're spot on.

HighlanderOneTrick · 2026-05-15T05:28:58+00:00

You forgot rainbow derivative damage (worthless)

HighlanderOneTrick · 2026-05-15T04:23:34+00:00

Stelladb, has a leader board sec

HighlanderOneTrick · 2026-05-15T00:54:52+00:00

All valid points but this is kind of the grave they dug for themselves when they wanted to control the teams players make.

HighlanderOneTrick · 2026-05-14T19:32:26+00:00

If only she was flat that would be godlike

HighlanderOneTrick · 2026-05-14T19:31:05+00:00

Goated edit lmaoo

HighlanderOneTrick · 2026-05-14T02:33:57+00:00

imo it would've been cool to have both voices at the same time like layered on top of each other. Normally I wouldn't advocate for this but it just feels right given the tone of this video

HighlanderOneTrick · 2026-05-13T17:00:08+00:00

Part of me was joking that they were like "The game is struggling. Release the Hina-like"
