Was he justified in his actions?
Was he justified in his actions?
how did i know ?
No idea, I stopped playing at Lady Ethernal because other games distracted me.
No, given his actions didn't even fix the problem his race was having and only resulted in long term suffering for both races.
genocide is always justified
Did you read the new backstory comic with shota Lear anons?
PWNED
Did you read the new backstory comic with shota Lear anons?
I did, and while it was cool seeing the not-death star being made, I'm glad many people came away with "Man, Lear's mom is hot" thoughts afterward instead.
I hope we get to see Lear and Ji meet
He’s cute
genocides his own race as punishment for becoming a self-indulgent degenerate ethnostate
He was incredibly based and 100% justified.
They should have just done a Nier.
leave Ji with an army of robots to clean up all the flower spores after everyone else dies
also leave him with genetic/transmutation equipment to artifically produce offspring
don't have to be immortal like him, just free of the virus
Ji gets his cool guy moment and Solarians don't go extinct
Solarians were an evil race, so yes everyone is better off with them dead
The problem is Ji is a faggot who only likes men
translate it chinagods
That's fine. He wouldn't be able to reproduce sexually anyway. The virus passes on to children. He would essentially be making genetically altered clones of himself. Given all the crazy stuff they can do with transmutation, that shouldn't be outside the realm of possibility.
Oh...what a cute little scientist. Your name is Lear?
Yes, yes! My Lord Imperial Master!
Lear’s sexual quirks have never changed since then.
Lear was truly a genius ahead of his time. Thank you anon
He is her's and her's alone
Nah. He's just asian furry Kratos
and only resulted in long term suffering for both races
He ended up causing the cultural and technological uplifting of the apeman. It wasn't his original plan, but things did end up inadvertently working out OK for them.
He was clearly justified
The eternal cauldron was his species last shot for survival. Even a cornered rat will fight to the death to survive, to do otherwise is weak and defeatist.
Revenge afterwards was also justified. The other sols could not be trusted, and ended up either being completely stupid or insane- unfit to carry on their mission.
It's also hard to fault Yi for his plan failing when he made it operating off of deliberately incomplete information. Had he known from the start how much of an untrustworthy fuckup Eigong was, he likely would have done things differently. Harvesting apeman brains and blocking out the sun was still pretty rude, though.
you have no more unread messages from Penglai
man fuck you that actually made me tear up
Source on this cat?
What were the clubgoers high on?
that one guy getting a hand job in the background
The intention of the narrative is no, he was not. The Solarian species were acting against the Dao by abusing the fusang roots for energy and using its DNA to try to attain immortality, so the universe retaliated against them. The eternal cauldron project is just more of the same pattern. They act against natural and universal order, doing great evil to the Apemen and themselves in the process, and they still fail in their goals. By acting against the Dao, they not only harm themselves, but the universe around them. Eigong developing the mutant strain, and trying to intentionally embrace it and mutate all Solarians, is the culmination of this idea. She can’t accept the fact that her ideas were wrong and her behavior is disordered, and her end goal would create unspeakable horror throughout the universe. Yi, however, accepted reality. He realized that the Solarian species was not worth continuing at such a horrific cost, so he returned the Apemen to Earth, put an end to everything, and righted his great wrong.
Catnip.
the only thing wrong was the whole game which tards suck the dick off
Yes. Fuck the Dao. Fuck the Heavens. Cultivate and achieve immortality.
t.
Goumang!
Eigong, you fucked up everything
I wish Fudie wasn't a brain in a jar. Out of all the Sole who should've lived it was her and Kaufu.
literally made for mindbreak and gangrape
Yes? you can morally object as much as you want but preying on other species to preserve yours is a pretty big justification to do almost everything. Besides it was all eigong's fault
Did the virus reach even Solarians not on Penglai, or did they not populate any other planets?
I still listen to this from time to time.
youtu.be
Why do you wish such horrible things on cute girls?
wonder what they are cooking with the next game
You mean tender love and affection
Will the racist fat uncle get to pass on the Solarian genes?
It’s a magic virus that destroys their DNA. It’s not really a virus but more like fusang smiting them from existing
Their technology and entire culture depends on Fusang to provide energy and also their intelligence for some reason. Even if they did populate other planets they probably devolved into normal housecats.
Finally, an opportunity to post this pic
tfw the song is a duet with the English lyrics being Yi and the Taiwanese lyrics being Heng
Who's the distorted scream?
Me
Their parents screaming as they watch them bang in the afterlife
Shuanshuan.
Hmmm goumango's yaoi hands
This game is just misery porn for fags.
They would be proud to see yi and heng sticking to family tradition.
His decision here was less than relatable.
Swim with me
No
Please punish me
Okay
Yi's a weird guy
Mistreating women and grooming young little boys
he’s so fucking based it’s unreal
He was just fulfilling her kink, bro. After all, what are friends for?
Yi is a streamer?
And then he's wierded out about it. Like sadistic revenge is no fun when they're so into it...
Nuwa's death was bullshit. Like it absolutely didn't need to happen at all. I was genuinely angry this cute dumb girl in denial of her big bro just HAD to die to stupid bullshit at the last second. Fuck the roots fuck the tao its utter bullshit
It's an amazing game but sadly because of the fur fag degenerates sexualizing the characters, it will remain unknown and icky to normal humans, forever to be shit on by chinks.
Spoiler free review for the uninitiated from our guy.
stop advertising your channel you embarrassing mexican
Not watching your gay ass video fuck off
I'm not him but he gave me a shoutout in this video, so it's fair for me to post it. That and the fact that it's funny cringe that it shows love for the game
How are you supposed to enjoy cute images of sols when you know they're all dead?
Fuxi gave his seal to Yi without any problem
Freaks out when he tries to take Nuwa's even though SHE consented
Damn bro, let your sister decide for herself. I guess the point is she's too dependant on him even though he's a walking corpse now.
How about you shout deez nuts out?
ok :(
“NO APE ESCAPES FROM GOUMANG’S CATNIP FARM!”
We had this conversation already. No before his confrontation with Eigong, yes after.
Lady Ethereal is for hugs and kisses.
Seriously why did the devs make him dress like that?
You can't
Instead you get high on copium and rewrite canon in your head
t. Goumang enjoyer
Alright who's got the vocaroo
They're all actors in a stage play, it's like Super Mario.
because shota is the nectar of the gods
Directive 8020 won.
I was told there would be artbook. Where the fuck is it?
New comic for those of have yet to read it: mojoin.com
shota lear
Needs his own game sadly.
Lear’s dad looks pretty cool. Also their names (Li Wen and Li Jing) confirm to me that Lear’s name should really have been localized as Li Er (Laozi’s birth name). I’m still not sure what the reason was behind that localization decision
you merely adopted the Tao, Lear, I was born in it, molded by it
tfw Yi starts talking
tfw he's not even in the same room or building, but still...
when Goumang starts bitching again
tfw the eternal cauldron project was chosen over the apeman semen extractor project
You are a sneaky deceiving rat
I respect that
doesn't wear pants around the guy a third her size
I need to remember what the hell is was doing in this game because I just saved the peach village but took a long break and can't remember shit
I notice that he doesn't have his red "fusang" irises yet, but his mom does. Also maybe it's just me but she looks like an older Heng.
Kys
Xia women are simply like that
Didn't deserve their fate
Heng
Kuafu
Goumang
Yanlao
Lady E
Nuwa
Chien
Chiyou
Got exactly what they deserved
Fuxi
Ji
Deserved much worse
Jiequan
Eigong
Yi
Goumang and Nuwa got what they deserved. Yanlao deserved worse
Yanlao was doomed anyways
Nuwa is debatable
Kuafu got to live and the apemen will hopefully revere him
Goumang should've went out with more fanfare
Ji did nothing wrong.
Yi was a very very bad person but his suffering is extreme. I don't think he deserves more.
Ji did nothing
What did Fuxi even do besides fuck his sister? The game went and said he was responsible person but then died early.
he’s so perfect
He funded the entire project and used a bunch of cargo space for his family’s personal belongings when that space could have been used to house thousands more people
Funded Eigong's research to gain immortality (for himself of course) and forced Kanghui into Jiequan's torture
Basically a rich asshole
What did Kanghui do that the only apt punishment was turning him into jiequan's fleshlight?
Piss off Fuxi, that's all we know
The message in the prison doesn't say more
Funded Eigong's research to gain immortality (for himself of course)
well he got his wish in a way...
likely made an incest joke around the twins
If Kanghui was an absolute asshole and Fuxi didn't know about Jiequan's torture methods or Eigong's experiments, he's somewhat less to blame. However if Kanghui didn't commit any crimes and just happened to rub Fuxi the wrong way, then Fuxi did deserve what happened to him.
Was he even alive to fund Eigong's research? Just seems like the heads of the clan before him were behind that
I dont thinm so and I think its because his anger towards eigong seems really misplaced and weird, like yeah eigong did accidentally create a virus okay how is that any worse than what you have done?
Also I feel mislead about this game having a good story or metroidvania elements. It was pretty much a good parryslop title with good aestheitics and thats it
He knew the apocalypse was coming and do nothing
Eigong didn't just create the virus. She concealed that fact while continuing to make the same sort of mistakes that caused the problem in the first place. If she'd admitted what she'd done and sudoku'd the Solarians would have been objectively better off. She ruined everything she touched.
He was the head of the clan at that point, otherwise why would he and his sisterwife be the ones on the Tiandao council?
Someone refresh me on the lore, was the virus already around by the time Yi was born?
Yi's plan was a last ditch effort survival plan based on incomplete information. Him and everyone else could have just enjoyed long prosperous lives progressing to new societal ideals if it wasn't for Eigong and the boomers funding her. No one except Yi ever planned on holding her accountable for self destructing their species.
He knew he couldn't change anything.
Ok guys, what kind of religion is Taoism? How does it apply to real life? How does it apply to our modern day in comparison to ancient China? If its just "reincarnation lol" then doesn't it mean its a doomer way of seeing things since the vast majority of humans suffer while alive and thus you'll just be rolling against stacked odds every time you're coming back and odds are you're gonna be born as some starving african or in fucking India?
I'm not an expert, but my interpretation is Yi's accident and revival by eigong is what leads to her breakthrough of the genetic modifications that create the virus.
More than that, he knew it was deserved
it’s complicated. read the zhuangzi
Reincarnation isn't a core belief at least not without Buddhist influence. It's more that we come from the natural laws and someday return to them.
But I don't want to read, can't Feng come over and explain it to me?
Does every Solarian have the Tianhuo? Does that mean uncle chubby will die soon after settling in the Apeman planet?
Yes
Wait that was a typo, please don't send the incest siblings, I don't want them!
For what i understood from the game and a cursory read on what Lear said: "When nothing is done, nothing is left undone" (which intrigued me)
Learn about your gifts and let them guide you in life, because you can be content with what you have and trying to have more will only lead to imbalance on yourself. Then you die and that is that
Could be completly off the mark as i am completly unfamiliar with Taoism in general
The story is all about "accepting" "inevitable" things. Unfortunately the source of that philosophy is tao and confucianism bullshit. If you actually think it was wrong to try to stop the magical faggot flower plague at all costs you're basically announcing that you're ok with spreading your bussy for authority. "Oh, just accept that there's nothing you can do about being sent to the front lines by the emperor, i mean, getting killed by flowers. It's harmonious and correct to just accept death :) dont revolt :)"
Fuck this game
it’s complex, but not really a religion. early daoist teaching like the dao de ching and the zhuangzi were more philosophical and less mystical. but they were also very vague, and so what ended up happening is taoism gradually mixed together and picked up a bunch of mystical practices from other chinese folk religions, and even from buddhism, and now it’s a very messy hodgepodge of ideas. if you ask a modern day chinese person what they think of taoism, they probably think of wacky charlatan priests pretending to do exorcisms and divine the future and speak to the dead. but if you ask a westerner about taoism, they would probably think of old philosopher sages like laozi and zhuangzi, because that’s all they’re really exposed to. it’s sort of a religion, sort of not a religion, depending on your perspective, which is fittingly very daoist
What exactly are your standards for a good story if this game didnt have one? Aside from all the unskipable fluff dialouge with the kid i thought it was solid
Yi’s interaction with shuanshuan was the heart of the game you rube. you imbecile
Aside from all the unskipable fluff dialouge with the kid i thought it was solid
That’s the best part retard
I think his main story specific ones are but giving him items have A LOT of unskipable "haha look how cute this kid is uwu :3" dialouge that gets exhausting.
there's a setting to speed up the dialog by holding a button
Yi
Yi desperately tried to redeem himself in the end so I think he's chill.
At least in the true ending.
But the impactful scenes are much weaker if you don’t have the gradual slice of life scenes in between. You can’t just skip to the climax and get the full experience. Why would you care about Yi gifting Shuanshuan the mystic nymph at the end unless you spent time with them and saw their relationship build up and see how Shuanshuan’s ideas gradually helped Yi realize the errors of his worldview?
Are we ready for the lear suffering arc?
I love Shuanshuan. Every time I came back to the pavillion I would check on him to see if he had anything to say.
A large part of what I liked about Shuanshuan's character was that he didn't end up just being cute uwu child. You can actually see him getting more mature and competent over the course of the game.
but we were harvesting your people like cattle and it was all my idea
yeah I know, I'm not retarded
The stuff with shuanshuan was the only stuff I liked, just kind of thought the pacing was off and there wasnt really any satisfying payoff considering that I find Yis motivations so weak.
If you didn't like Shuanshuan's scenes, you aren't human. Sorry, I don't make the rules
You're right, I'm Solarian and I hate disgusting apemen.
That caught me off guard the first time I played, kid knew his bro was a monster and yet stuck by him
Motivation for what? Eigong is the reason his sister and everyone else is dead.
I humbly disagree.
Because if you render it as a single word like the other names it becomes "Lier," which looks goofy. Similar reason to why they didn't keep Fudie.
The names aren't particularly goofy at all, and in both cases you actually lose substantial meaning. Lear's name is a reference to Li Er, the guy who wrote Dao De Jing and is regarded as the founder of daoism. Fudie means "butterfly" and is a reference to the story of Zhuangzi's butterfly dream - where Zhuangzi is unable to distinguish between dream and reality upon waking from a dream, and uses this to question the nature of reality and perception. Very relevant to what is going on with Lady E. The localization is very good in general, but I just think the wrong choice was made for these two characters.
Li Er, the guy who wrote Dao De Jing and is regarded as the founder of daoism
Clarification - Li Er is his birth name, he would later be known as Laozi
Go to bed, Kuafu.
It surprised me too. But it made sense alongside all the other things Shuanshuan was experiencing as he was learning the truth. And it was consistent with characters being plagued more by their own guilt than any external blame.
naming files for organization
type Nine Sexo
Shuanshaun is too powerful...
Why not just do two words? Lady Ethereal is two words anyway.
iunno ask them, they've been pretty consistent that Chinese names are rendered as a single word.
Is named Fu Die
Playtesters thought her boss intro was saying "Fuck You, Die".
Likely not what happened but it'd be funny if that's why she was renamed.
"Lear" is secretly one of the best localization decisions if you're familiar with older literary English.
Nigger everyone knows King Lear. It has nothing to do with the story of Nine Sols beyond the most broad and vague possible interpretations, and if it was supposed to be an important narrative reference, then why would the reference not exist in the original Chinese?
Lazy ass devs aren't justified in making a manga prequel instead of the dlc
It has nothing to do with the story of Nine Sols
Then why would you assume that's what I'm referring to, genius? Go ponder Mt. Tai until you can see it.
A good description of the difficulty spike that her fight is
It's probably because they thought westerners would go "lol Foodie because she's fat lmao."
Lear is probably thinking westerners would see Lier and think he's a liar therefore secret villain.
Do americans see Fu Die and think of food really?
That was my second thought actually lol
Who's got that fat bitches comic
randomly receives immortality
doesnt give a fuck about it or anything else and just becomes a neet forever
Actually based and exactly what i would do if i ever become immortal.
I really hated the Prison stealth area
This game got robbed of GOTY.
The fact that it didn't even get nominated makes me think that it was because Dorito Pope was afraid to "hurt the feelings of the Chinese people"
They don't pronounce their names so anyone not familiar with chinese would read it as Foodie.
I have heard that there is a sacred turtle in Chu. It has been dead for three thousand years, and its shell is venerated, wrapped in silk, and placed on an altar
Would he not be happier as a plain turtle, dragging his tail in the mud?
Ji should have gotten his ass beaten harder, honestly
Ji did nothing wrong
don't threaten him with a good time.
I'm almost certain I heard Nuwa say Fuxi's name but I don't remember when.
A truly enlightened philosopher
I want this cat OBLITERATED
He'll never see it coming
