I think I figured out what happened with the twins Shiro/Kei, although I don't know what purpose would such a development serve (...). I am nowhere close to understanding what's happening with Kyoya though.

I was going to bring up Shibito Burger; good to see another Siren veteran beat me to it.  For some reason Reiko's burgerface makes me cringe real hard in a way the other brains don't. Maybe it's because that growth looks like her lips just kept swelling until they engulfed her entire face and I picture it's all just sensitive and raw mouth flesh being exposed to the elements and bullets.

I have a deep suspicion regarding Kei and precisely what happened in the last Kei and Shiro cutscene. The twin thing particularly raises alarms about it.

I'm confused. Is the red water good or bad? Why aren't Kei, Kyoya, and Tamon dead? Where's Yoriko, wasn't she at ground zero with them all? Isn't finding her even the slightest bit of a priority for Tamon? Why did Kei give Kyoya that effigy? Why aren't any of them shibitos by now? Are we going to get any answers?

I understood it like this : a bit of red water will heal your wounds and revive you from close to death, but you cannot let all your blood get replaced by it, that is really really bad. Edut: not sure if SGF ever talked about this, but I swear the red rain regens your Ingame health faster. Jack-Off Lantern fucked around with this message at 18:01 on Feb 2, 2017 |

There's gradual health generation in every stage regardless of whether it's raining or not. The implication, I think, is that the influence of the red water is pretty much everywhere. Consider the fact that even when it's not raining, there's fog in many stages. I don't think there's any water left in Hanuda that isn't cursed. Red water heals you as you soak it up, but the more you have it in your system, the closer you are to becoming a shibito, which is why straight-up dunking yourself in it (Naoko) and/or dying (Akira, Reiko) speeds up the process. Also it seems to affect different individuals at different rates. There are answers. Some of them have already hinted at already but the game leaves a lot of gaps for the player to fill in themselves so it's probably best to break out the supplementary material once the LP is over. (I can't wait) (for the plot discussion I mean, not for the LP to be over because I will be sad) Snoop Radley fucked around with this message at 18:29 on Feb 2, 2017 |

So at this point who is still alive/normal-ish and not shibitofied or burnt/sacrificed? My list is: Kyoya, Kei (...), Tamon, Harumi and Hisako. And maybe Jun (?) but he seems to be barely in the story (other than attacking Kyoya and Miyako earlier) and would anyone care of be affected if he died or is a Shibito now? Yoriko is another maybe, because of her weird voice in the previous video.

Okay I have a theory. Blind girl (Miyako?) is on the other side of the Mirror Gate. But we saw her burn. Shiro said he knew the way out, and now we find his charred lab coat. So he burned too? Maybe this "otherworld" is one side of the gate, and getting cremated (thus leaving nothing here to be shibitoed) gets you to the normal world on the other side? Unless you know how to open the gate, so you can pass through without dying. I am probably totally wrong. I can't wait to see what's really going on.

I'm honestly not sure what you're getting at. I guess you're saying they could be switched? Kei is acting as he always has so I don't really think that happened. The fact that even SGF seemed to imply something other than Shiro shooting himself in the face says something in any case.

Well, maybe if we assume Shiro is a little more nuts than previously thought and taking his comment about not wanting to be a monster in that light, I could see a crazy dude coming to the conclusion that "becoming" someone else who hasn't done all the monstrous things Shiro has done would accomplish that. Also with all the red water talk I only just now made the link between the red water's healing powers and how too much turns you into a shibito and how the shibito can heal from anything. Feel a bit dumb that it took this long.

vortmax posted:Okay I have a theory. I really like that theory. also lets remember that during the closing cutscene where Kyoya is rocking out, hes using some sort of magical power to burn the Shibito where they stand, possibly sending them to the otherside / freeing them from their fate? Hard to guess how Shiro would have figured out that potential escape route however.

Yeah, I think the specific inclusion of multiple sets of twins (and the space given to them in the archives) means that it's more of a leitmotif than just a little character study / costume switch / body horror

Kei is acting as he always has so I don't really think that happened. No way Kei has been acting as he always has. Kei is the dude who knows nothing, who cradles his head in Hisako's lap, who's unable to attack Mina. Shiro is the spiteful go-getter who murders a girl he impregnated. Their voices a little different too. Shiro's is more... disaffected? Especially as time goes on and he gets more tired of this poo poo. It's also suspicious that Kei's mission after that cutscene he has all of Shiro's stuff. And he incapacitates a bunch of shibito, when I can't recall him doing that on previous missions, or if frankly he ever had any weapons to do that with? Also, this might be the best piece of evidence and I just noticed it. Shiro has a mole on his right cheek. Kei doesn't.   And it's really hard to tell with the graphical quality, but it kinda looks like Kei has a mole here in the mission after the mysterious shooting scene.

Akira's fate was cruel but worked, Naoko's was darkly ironic, but Reiko's is just brutal. Hopefully at least one character makes it out ok. Also, I'm digging the RE 7 videos, it's hard to find a let's play that is calm and well done, rather than mugging for the camera.
