I do wonder if something was up with the room graphics getting more and more simple as you progressed in the 'underground'.

Hang on hang on hang on hang on.

What's said at the start, YOU MUST CREATE A VESSEL, which then gets thrown out (supposedly).

...

Could Gaster be trying to prevent the Chara ending by forcibly possessing children who have been to Mt. Ebbot by SOULS that have not? It would seem that by letting someone take over Kris, but put them in such a situation that their choices have no effect, you will get the 'pacifist' ending, Kris no longer acts like they used to. If this game is after monsters return overground, then it's possible that Kris was a child who went through Undertale, but did a genocide run and was so possessed by Chara. Maybe by forcing possession of Kris this way, Gaster hopes to prevent Chara from slaughtering everyone, but as we can see from the end, the possession doesn't take.

Am I going a bit nuts, or is Sans the only character from the last game who's overworld sprite is unchanged? I mean, it could just be because it is Sans who specialises in doing nothing , but still...

Also, to hopefully not be hypocritical here, I will point out the thing about the pianos in the hospital that Kris is unable to play as he once was, does actually mirror Toby's own experiences with RSI. Thinking about that made that scene 100x as sad for me :(

Aw geez. That's rough.

There may be something about the idea that Kris is fighting off the player's influence on them. We were told at the beginning to acknowledge the possibility of pain or seizure. I don't think it means epileptic seizure, but forcible re-distribution/possession.

21 Muns posted:

Oh, gently caress, this just hit me:

Frisk, Chara, and Kris can all be safely assumed to be nonbinary, right? But it's been pointed out, and I think correctly, that Kris's sprite reads as older and much less androgynous than Frisk or Chara's sprites. Indeed, Kris's name even tends to get people thinking "masculine" (although it is not a strictly male name in real life).

Now... doesn't that just fit perfectly into Kris's entire existence? :smith: In contrast to the lighter, more fantasy-focused Undertale story, Kris's life is full of very real and very awful psychological issues. Gender dysphoria caused by puberty would fit right in with their other problems.

Originally I had considered Kris to be male, because of the theory that Ralsei is their idealised self, and Ralsei is a Prince. But on reflection, that was a total assumption on my part. Their idealised self could be of a different gender/sex then they are.

It'd be interesting if the most positive way to play Deltarune would be to not play it.

Buuut, I'm mainly hoping for a very satisfying playthrough where I solve most everyone's problems, especially Kris's.

Yeah, the former reads too much like Spec Ops: The Line for it's own good.

99% sure the game has been in development since before Undertale was a hit. Toby was probably taking whatever projects looked nice and came his way. I know he also was supposed to make a track for Omori bcs I think the devs were friends? Anyway that game has been cast to the nether zone and who knows if it'll ever come out, so if it does maybe the situation will be similar

Oh yeah, I'm not laying responsibility on the shite game on Toby. Just wondering how he got involved in it in the first place.

Oh my God, I was just watching an old LP of Undertale, and I saw something I should have noticed earlier. All lore bookcases/text dumps in the game read left-to-right. Except in the most anime place, Alphys' aboveground laboratory.

Yeah, I think Bratty's story is more subdued, but in Catty's version he takes her to the prom, she spikes the punch, spills the spiked punch bowl all over him, then gets arrested by Undyne in the parking lot for drunk and disorderly.

It's so subdued I didn't even pick up on it. When is that alluded to?
