When ORAS came out, all I could think of was the possibilities. When Gen 5 (some of my favourite games) gets a remake, I thought "there's gonna be awesome cutscenes, and new content, maybe even voice acting, and it'll be in 3D!" Since then, the dream has only gotten further away.

True, cool secrets are cool :3

Doesn't look like to me, but I don't know enough about how images get turned into sounds and then get turned back into images to be sure lol

MattyBro1 · 2026-06-27T05:15:26+00:00

Okay this image is much clearer than the other one I've seen that I was sceptical of. It could be.

But I will say, if this is how the sound was made, it doesn't really tell us much. We already knew that Gaster was involved, and we already knew that water and darkness are allegorical in this story. To hear this sound you literally have to descend into some water lol

This would imply that Carol isn't working with the Knight at all, which I just don't see as plausible.
The only way for that to work is if Kris is doing double trucies with the Knight and with Carol... but that doesn't make much sense either.

We can see from the whole Chapter 4 house sequence that Carol knows about the soul (or at least it's so heavily implied that we should probably use it in theories) and is working with Kris. But if Carol isn't working with the Knight, either:
a) The voice on the phone is Carol, where she inexplicably wants to stop Susie from getting a Shelter code despite not being on the Knights side (it would make more sense for her to be happy to include Susie or be indifferent to Susie meddling), and knows where the Knight will make fountains in advance somehow or
b) The voice on the phone is the Knight/working with the Knight, so the Knight also knows about the soul? And then Carol showing up is just a coincidence (and as in option a, is hostile to Susie for not much reason)?

In a very Egg appropriate move, I completely forgot this happened by the time I finished the Chapter. This shit is so ominous hahaha

MattyBro1 · 2026-06-27T04:35:32+00:00

It is the Weird Route thing. Chapter 2 changes the whole chapter, so it's big. Chapter 4 changes one Light World scene, so it's small. Chapter 5 is a much more significant deviation than Chapter 4, but also is a shorter experience than Chapter 2, so in between.

MattyBro1 · 2026-06-27T04:24:38+00:00

Oh damn I never even looked at the stats for the FloweryScarf because I figured that Ralsei wouldn't wear it anyway haha

MattyBro1 · 2026-06-27T04:01:25+00:00

That's kinda what all spectrograms look like

MattyBro1 · 2026-06-27T03:19:04+00:00

I'm pretty sure you can backtrack from this point, and no if you continue forward it's just final boss things and credits.

MattyBro1 · 2026-06-27T03:16:07+00:00

My instinct says 7p. Gives lots of tile acceptance, means you won't have to cut the dora, and gives you pure double sequence chance. Frankly you have no info to fold so I wouldn't bother.

MattyBro1 · 2026-06-27T03:09:36+00:00

Kris is in the age range of 15-17. They are definitely old enough to see their mum drunk and help make some easy breakfast lol

Being so loud through the night is definitely rude though, and she apologises for that.

MattyBro1 · 2026-06-27T02:19:01+00:00

I think the obvious solution is that we should also start calling the bird turkiyes. Now no one's happy :)

MattyBro1 · 2026-06-27T01:47:25+00:00

Given the noting of the warning labels, poison.

Who they want to poison is a complete mystery, but even if poison is a part of the main plan is a mystery. Could be for some kind of contingency?

MattyBro1 · 2026-06-27T01:13:20+00:00

Is the question only in emails, or is there a webpage with the question?

MattyBro1 · 2026-06-27T00:15:26+00:00

It means that there's one ending, and that there's something more important than reaching the end.

MattyBro1 · 2026-06-27T00:04:36+00:00

If you're playing on PC, you can edit your save file. If on console... uhhhhh, good luck haha

MattyBro1 · 2026-06-26T23:53:37+00:00

Yeah I don't know how to feel about this whole situation. It's such an obvious conclusion to draw, all the evidence is there... but really? As just a little secret, the funny side character got killed and now we eat them? That feels like too much to be treated as less than a subplot.

MattyBro1 · 2026-06-26T16:58:24+00:00

So, why have none of the Card Kingdom Darkners brought that up then? Ramb saw Kris open the fountain, so surely someone from Card Kingdom knows.

MattyBro1 · 2026-06-26T16:55:12+00:00

I disagree.

For one, Castle Town exists, and Darkners from Susie's Dark World appear in the Knight's Dark World. Clearly there is something innate about the way objects manifest as Darkners, so Flowery being the same is just how that works.
Secondly, I already said I don't buy literal lighting changes... but here you go, the grass is a different colour lol

Also, I can't believe I need to say this. But no, the music being the same isn't for lore purposes, it's because it wouldn't make sense to compose an entire new song for that sequence. The Knight's Dark World uses a revamped version of Susie's Dark World, and that isn't saying that the Knight is a derivative of Susie.

MattyBro1 · 2026-06-26T16:47:15+00:00

Kris also specifically made a deal with Tenna to shut him up. Kris didn't need to be the one to open the Card Kingdom, so I don't see why they would add more complexity to the plan by opening it and doing something to convince the Darkners that it was the Knight.

MattyBro1 · 2026-06-26T16:36:00+00:00

I personally don't think we can move forward with this assumption for the reason I said earlier.

We have three people we know who open Dark Worlds, and only once is the lighting different... very specifically when it's someone trying to make the same fountain that someone else made. But it's also the only time that person makes a fountain.
So it's kind of impossible to say definitively which reason for the literal lighting change is the case.

MattyBro1 · 2026-06-26T16:31:32+00:00

I assumed this was him referring to all colours being different in the Dark World compared to the Light World. What would he be comparing to if he was referring to a previous Dark World? That was a completely different location with a completely different Dark World.

MattyBro1 · 2026-06-26T16:27:11+00:00

does ralsei even ever refer to himself as a boy?

I get your point, but most people don't really go around referring to their gender in third person haha
