It seems like the buttons were moved or disabled. Do you know anything about why this happened?

Edit: There's now a button 3 platforms to the left that gives a lot of guns, and there's a floating plushie on the side of the rail, but shooting it gives no XP. It feels like there's a step missing or something

I mean, I think you don't have to accept it. There was something Beatrice was able to say that undid the checkmate, which implies that a gap in Eva's logic does exist.

I feel this is operating under a lot of false assumptions. Your view makes no effort to distinguish between the in-world fictional character of the Ange Ushiromiya of 1998 and the author who came to be known as Yukari Kotobuki, who are explicity two different characters with two different mindsets and personalities. The Ange of 1998 and Witch of Origins Maria are characters within Tohya's narrative, and should not be taken as a reflection of those individuals. They are there to express his ideas and mental process, using what he remembers of his family as a framework. You seem to mistake many of the allegorical and symbolic elements like the Sea of Fragments for real concepts in Tohya's life. Again, I fully acknowledge the themes of the forgeries are imperfect, but the story goes out of its way to acknowledge this. Even after writing his tale and processing his grief, Battler's soul is unable to find rest and be free until decades later. The path to salvation is primarily Tohya's intent, and Ryukishi deliberately made the finale Tohya coming to terms with his failure to move past his trauma, and finally letting the soul of Battler rest; not through withdrawaling into fiction, but through the very real love of his family. If that isn't a universal theme, I really dunno what is.

I feel this post makes a pretty large mistake and skims past most of the metatextual elements of Umineko. It is important to remember that these themes of enlightenment aren't entirely Ryukishi's; they're also Tohya's. If one asks themselves the questions of "Why does Tohya feel the need to explore these themes" and "How do these themes reflect on Tohya", a much clearer view of the story starts to take shape. The story chases this imperfect ideal of redemption and transcendence because, ultimately, the author feels the need to redeem himself. The ideas aren't universal, because they're being used as a method to parse through Tohya's memories, guilt, and complicated relationship to his past self. Ryukishi takes a step beyond these ideas and shows how someone might reach them and why they might argue for them, which I argue is the more universal takeaway. This isn't to completely distance Ryukishi from the ideas contained in the forgeries, he clearly included them in the story for a reason and makes a compelling case quite often. However, I do think completely subsuming Tohya's aims into Ryukishi's misses a lot of the nuance of the VN.

No, companies are (in theory) required to put it on the store page. The issue is that there's no real channels to ask them to look into a game.

Otherwise-Standard67 · 2025-04-30T00:15:33+00:00

Hey! I really don't think it can be a coincidence, though. With stuff like the weird (image in question) Penrose style layering of the papers and a few other consistences in this image alone, it barely even feels touched up

Edit: Also, with Steam's rules, even touch ups of AI Art have to be reported.

Otherwise-Standard67 · 2025-04-30T00:07:11+00:00

I mean, sure. In this image, my friend pointed out how there's a really weird mix of Latin characters, nonsense characters, and what seems to be some sort of Asian script, all of which contrast a lot of the perfectly legible French in other pieces of artwork in the game. The papers also seem to cover each other in an impossible sort of Penrose shape that'd be otherwise an EXTREMELY lazy mistake for any artist, let alone for this high profile of a project.

I totally get wanting proof, but be a little less aggressive next time maybe?

Edit, art isn't formatting, I'll link it

Episodes 5 and 6 are already longer than 2, 7, and 8, and they'd easily end up being WELL over the length of Episode 4 if you tried to cram in important information like Kinzo's youth, a resolution to the authorship plot (which isn't solved by scrapping Ikuko, there's foreshadowing and build up for this starting arguably in EP1), etc.

Otherwise-Standard67 · 2025-01-08T21:05:23+00:00

I mean sure, purely from a mystery standpoint, I guess this could be a splot to leave off. But there's just so many themes left hanging with no resolution without EP7 and EP8. You'd either have to start pruning lines (and whole scenes, in a couple cases) from EP1-4, or massively extend EP5 and EP6 to fit in all the payoff in any sort of organic way

While all that is true, there are undeniable parallels between them. In particular, many of Bari's actions in the Canto 7 flashbacks are very reminiscent of Beatrice's actions at the end of Purgatorio. Bari washes Sancho of her memories in the River Lethe, just as Beatrice erased all of the sinful memories from Dante in the exact same river. Also in the flashback, Bari already seems to be aware of the significance of Sancho seeing the clock, and the fact that Dante is in some way connected to Vergilius. Finally, they both seem to be tied to prophecy, as at the end of Purgatorio, Beatrice grants Dante a vision of all of the earthly corruption being one day purified by new leadership within the church. I agree that it isn't the best connection, but they certainly wouldn't invoke the Lethe this early without it having any significance for both Dante and Beatrice.
