That's what it appears to be about, but it needs to be deeper than that. The ending - it's not about awakening, finding out you were loved and then getting the motivation to suddenly become a hero because you found out someone cared for you. This part was really important because it started to tell me that the underlying theme of the game's story isn't as flat as it looks, the lore and reasoning behind the story is convoluted, so I need to think like a madman. The removal of Cuff's hold on the Tanta unlocks/frees the Tanta - we assumed that the Cuff absorbed the Tanta's power which is how we unlock the spells but instead it was actually when Cuff absorbs the Tanta's Cuff, it releases the Cuff's control on the Tanta's power and allows the power they bless onto Frey to become unlocked. The Tanta's can obviously exist post-humous and interact with Frey as can be seen in the final chapter, but it may be an interaction of Tanta Cinta's time-travelling/world travelling powers which is why it is never utilized until the last chapter. The use of symbolism is really cool- if I picture Cuff, the bracelet as a bind, a restrictor, a controller - then it makes sense with the story. The Cuff/Bracelet - what does it represent? Take a look below at a theory I have traced back to the start of the game - what if the entire story isn't really about Frey but is instead, about Cuff and his masterful manipulation powers: I'm still trying to string everything together and build an argument, I kinda wanna write something because I just feeeeel so strongly about this game's story (I love it) IMO the story is actually so complex that most people don't get it More often than not, rushed character development is bad character development. I think too many people favor unrealistic likeable characters over good writing.Īll in all the story is paced as best they could imho. Her reaction to Auden is the appropriate trauma response someone like her would have when put in that situation. So she goes out to Avoalet to help save Robian because that’s her only ticket out of here, but then is forced into an altercation with prav which she was never intending, and then she gets a huge bomb thrown at her, finds out her mom was Tanta Cinta, comes back home after risking her life to save Robian only to find him dead. as a result of killing Sila she only makes things worse, it doesn’t get rid of the break and many people in Cipal die due to Prav.įrey has no reason/incentive to go on a murder quest against the Tantas.Īside from that she sees herself as the cause of the problem and desperately wants to get out of this situation because she doesn’t feel she’s deserving of that title or responsibility. She didn’t come here to be anyone’s savior/hero and she was just trying to go home, she fights Tanta Sila because it’s her fault that Tanta Sila came in and attacked the town then killed Olevia, so she kills Sila thinking that’ll make things better, but 1. It’s also possible that they didn’t come up with any voice lines for how things would be after that so it sounds like the relationship is the same, idk if there will be a sequel dlc but maybe we’ll see that get fleshed out in there.Īs For Frey being Selfish, I disagree with that, realistic character growth is rarely ever linear and what they did is go for what’s realistic, Frey has no reason to get over her Trauma till after the Olas fight and she meets Cinta. I agree about the final boss thing, feels like they kinda hampered themselves by having so many game mechanics be tied with cuff, so they can’t fully get rid of him.
