Keep in mind TeeQueue isn't exactly playing on easy mode. If you use the Rabbits, and you've Day 1 reset a few times to get all the best equipment and stack your facility to make Day 49 easier, you can probably squeak by with 3 deaths or fewer from pausing (depending upon insanity and your willingness to send someone with white damage to help those employees) and 1 from the Clock. White Night can also wreak havoc by rearranging your departments, especially if you have to try earlier days multiple times. So while having him for the boost to Paradise Lost is worthwhile, he makes managing your entire complex more difficult.

I'm pretty sure Credentia died because the day ended with her panicked. It hasn't come up before, but any panicking agents at day end are automatically killed.

Day 49 Extra + Ending C Adam is a very chatty boy, and he has more dialogue for if we press on and avoid dealing with the Arbiter! I'll put it here before we move on to the main event. Level 8 posted:
Level 9 posted:
Level 10 posted:
Now then... let's get to the main event, shall we? Ending C Music: Vast Landscape  The game over text actually lasts a little longer than this single line. Game Over posted:
He just has to rub it in.   You are me, and I am you. I am the only one of us who realized the one truth, and stood atop the world itself. I am the you who shall leave the paths I walked once, and choose to join the world she truly wanted to create. And you and I, we shall be the us who can do whatever we imagine from now on. The screen shakes during this portion.  Witness how this loss-ridden world is perfected by us. The foolish god named rationality ruled over this world until this moment. No, to call it a god is an overstatement. It is simply a tragic illusion. We shall drag it down from the heavens with our own hands and open everyone’s eyes to the truth. Yes, the world Carmen yearned for will soon unravel before your eyes.   From here, there's the sounds of panic and screaming in addition to the music.   Let us create this paradise, you and I. Even the Head and the Eye are merely human. They cannot stop those of us who have accepted the truth. You know that everything we witnessed in this land is only a shadow, and that you never saw the truth until now. Those abandoned, those who hold power, those with wealth, those who remain hopeful, all of them. The tree of humanity will reach the root of this world. Again, behold. Then we return to the title screen. So, that's Ending C. Adam unleashes his plan to turn everyone into monsters. This is a textbook example of a 6th Trumpet-the devs have clarified in interviews that the Head would be able to clean all of this up eventually, but in the meanwhile Lobotomy Corporation is definitely done for. Poor Adam. Even when he wins, he can't really win.

TeeQueue posted:This might be a textbook example of a 7th Trumpet, but only if the Head isn't somehow able to deal with the new threat. Whether they can or not is up for debate, of course-but at the very least, Lobotomy Corporation is as good as over. Official Project Moon answer about this ending was "The Head will deal with it eventually" A tantrum, even a superpowered tantrum, isn't going to defeat the Head. To the Head, this is just a bad tuesday.

Trying to win without any deaths would be theoretically possible, but not with this facility. Not to mention I'd need to probably try a dozen or two times to get it right. Narsham posted:Keep in mind TeeQueue isn't exactly playing on easy mode.

Honestly, if I really pushed it-really pushed for it, I could squeak through with only the one death. (savescum the first pause to be a panic on someone who I suppress with white damage, use backwards clock for phase 2, handle phase 3 like normal while zoomed out) That sounded like a good way to go insane, so I didn't do that.  Keldulas posted:I'm pretty sure Credentia died because the day ended with her panicked. It hasn't come up before, but any panicking agents at day end are automatically killed. This is correct. Acerbatus posted:Are you not even going to show off a certain friend from midnight? He's pretty cool. I have absolutely no idea who you're talking about. I've mentioned all the Midnight Ordeals in the game, even though Green never wanted to come out and play. Solitair posted:some very cool stuff Honestly I'm not sure how well I could have done the narration over the course of an entire thread, but I do like this a lot. my dad posted:Official Project Moon answer about this ending was "The Head will deal with it eventually" Oh yeah, they did mention that. I should probably go back and edit that in there-still a Sixth Trumpet situation at least. Anyways, happy 1 year thread anniversary everyone! We're almost through the entire main plot!

my dad posted:Official Project Moon answer about this ending was "The Head will deal with it eventually" That actually pretty interesting. Abnormalities are practically impervious to weapons, requiring EGO gear to harm them. Even Rabbits have to be armed with specially made ammo to be effective. That means that Head holds immense power, and only reason raid on our lab failed was due to them underestimating us either to due bad intel or some other reason. On the other hand, Gebura with a single piece of EGO did defeat bunch of abnormalities, and a Claw AND a fully-powered Arbiter. If there are other people on her power level in the city, it might not be so hard. On the third hand, Abnormalities now are not bound by Qliphoth deterrence and are more powerful. So, in the end we do not have enough info to really gauge Head power level except as something between "very high" and "did I forgot to tell that I am literally a god?"

The only real thing we know about the Head so far is that one single Arbiter was enough to nearly level proto-L Corp and force A and the gang to boxbot Garion just to try and figure out a way to get their attention off of them.

Day 49 can easily be the most demoralizing day in the game if you're trying to go for an S Rank. You're limited to pretty much two scenarios: "load your facility up with the weakest set of Abnos possible and have absurd reflexes to dodge Binah's opener" or "try to burn down Binah as fast as possible with strong Abnos and have still-pretty-fast reflexes". And even then you may find yourself pausing once or twice just from the overwhelming need to take stock of the situation, at which point you just pray that someone gets Panicked and not instagibbed -- even if you have the reaction speeds of a god, sometimes total survival is just luck of the draw. And lest we forget, a no-death run means no Backward Clock to cheese An Arbiter. Since TeeQueue's facility is definitely leaning towards the second scenario, I absolutely do not blame him for deaths on Day 49. We saw back on Day 44 that even a couple of Abnos breaching while An Arbiter prowls the facility can end the run quickly (to say nothing of monsters like Queen of Hatred, Apocalypse Bird, or WhiteNight), and Hokma sabotaging the pause button only makes it worse.

Kitfox88 posted:Arbiter super thugs with vine shields need to gently caress off leave my PD alone Adam is casting Astral Corruption, figuring he'll disrupt the Head's Arcane Nexus operations, and then the Head just dispels it and goes back to bussiness as usual. The Head could have won a throne victory a long time ago - but why? For all the infinite power of the Pantokrators, they have an expiration date. Why not just let other people have fun using the thrones the Head doesn't need, as long as they understand that the Head can end them at any time - ensuring nobody can ever ascend, and letting the Head rule over the ashes of the Ascension War forever.

TeeQueue posted:I do have opinions about the head and their overall power level, but I will save those for the sequel because we currently lack a lot of information. Even with just the stuff we have right now the Head is looking pretty scary: They have every Singularity, except presumably Lobotomy's, since there's only one Carmen. This means they have, at minimum: -Some kind of teleporty thing from W corp -The Key Fairy thing Binah was using, but at full power -Miraculous healing/sanity restoration from uhhh, I think K corp? It's mentioned somewhere that another Wing pitches in to help with the department regenerator things. -No idea what R corp's Singularity is, but the end result matches up pretty well even against ALEPHs -Potentially most crazily, they have TimeTrack's Singularity. They don't have Abnormalities to power it, but there are rival energy corporations around, so they could still probably do some wild stuff with it. Even the very least of it, pausing time in Head HQ to assess the situation and teleport Arbiters around, is still a pretty big asset. Which isn't to say that it wouldn't cause a ton of damage, but it's not looking good for Adam.

Most notably, much like X can take as many retries as he needs to finish Carmen's goals, the Nest can take as many tries as it needs to stop them. As long as it's even hypothetically possible for Adam to be stopped, it will eventually happen, at least as long as they can protect T-corp. Which has some interesting implications for X's eventual victory, I think - assuming X will succeed. With time on their side, the only way to get past the Head will be to do something literally completely unpreventable, or something that even the Head won't want to undo.

I still claim that Time travel is not as overpowered as everyone claims it to be. LC was able to speed up and locally rewind time in the preset area, while outside time still advanced. They still fered being found by head, which means the couldn't rewind outside time to before being found. And I am pretty sure that it requires preparing dfacility, setting up things, etc. I doubt that Head set whole city to be able to affected by TT device.

Its always surreal seeing people you recognize in their older works. Still, good for Khezu! Going from a bit part in Lobotomy Corporation to being in Monster Hunter is quite a jump!
