Thanks for this LP! It's been a ride, but also thanks for all the other LPs you've made, especially the Drakengard/Nier series one. It's my favorite series of LPs to read, and I think they are the gold standard of the format.

Hope you will come back for more, but regardless, thank you again and stay safe.

Thanks again for another amazing, wild ride, Id! It's honestly been a blast watching you power through all these games throughout the years.

I just continued this after stopping a year and a half ago, somehow coincidentally right before the end of the LP, but I would like to say thank for all your effort. Despite hating the gameplay this game looks so fun, I do actually plan to play it myself someday, saving that motivation for the 3rd/4th game though to make sure I see it , so thanks for showing this series off, and being the definitive DrakeNier dude too. Good luck with everything if you do retire.

You've kept me laughing through some pretty gloomy times of my own Dark Id, thanks so much for the years of quality entertainment and shitposting. I deeply appreciate all the work you've put into your lets plays.

Welp, if it's one thing your LPs have done, it's (re)introduce me to Drakengard as well as Nier. Any time I like to point out how we got to Best Boy Emil, sexy droids and Best Mom Ghost (Mama in Nier Re[in]carnation), I make sure to point people to the utter calamity that is Drakengard 1 and the utter shitpost ending that was Ending E.

I also make sure they get a warning if they plan on reading the Drakengard 2 LP so they know how much of an utter garbage fire that game was, even if Caim stabs a guy in the dick so hard it kills Death.

Yeah, so umm... It's a good thing Yuri was still hung up on Karin because that was his loving mother Anne Hyuga! Who ultimately goes on to get backhanded by a zombie so hard it kills her, awakening Yuri's powers to become the himbo Rude Hero so Karin will one day get horny for her son and setting it up to fall for for his father after she gets time traveled back in time a few decades. Yuri is a weird Ontological Paradox. It's fine! And I guess Saki Inugami knew that, too...?! And just let it ride.
... What.

Thankyou for getting through to the end of this Id and hope the future treats you better.

It's been a fun ride, even with the unfortunate bumps. I always find your LPs to be very entertaining, and this wasn't an exception. Hell, if it weren't for you I never would have had any interest in Nier, even though I was already actually a fan of the original Drakengard. Plus your old Clock Tower 3 LP is one of my absolute favorites, even now.

If/When you do do more, I'll definitely be looking forward to it. If not, I doubt anyone would say you haven't deserved the rest.

It turns out that Yuri is a big fat liar. He is not half-Russian, he is half-German.

Loved the LP. All of yours LP. They got me into awesome obscure games.

I (and a lot of others on the internet I guess) think of the SH timeline like this:

Shadow Hearts 'Alice Dies' Ending ->
Shadow Hearts: Covenant 'Yuri Dies and Time Travels' Ending ->
Shadow Hearts NG+ Where Yuri Saves Alice Ending ->
Shadow Hearts: From the New World

Anyway, it's been a fun ride Id.

They think that because it's correct. Developer interviews were pretty explicit about it.

Karin being his mom is so weird to me because it doesn't add anything to the story, really. It's just kinda weird for the sake of being weird.

I'm kinda curious how Shadow Hearts 2: Alice is alive edition would go.

Probably Useless still manages to mistletoe Yuri, but Alice says screw that and purifies the curse in three days, a week top.
Afterwards, lvl 99 Rude Hero and lvl 99 Alice Elliot carry the rest of the party in speedrunning the plot having even less respect for the joke villains.

Mind flay the gap.
Thanks for sticking through this LP, even through such dark times. It was a great one, and your other LPs have always provided me with laughs, pathos, and entertainment over the years. You've introduced me to a lot of interesting and unique games (both good and bad..) and revisited some of my very favorites like Xenogears.

Thanks again for all of it. You've certainly earned a break, many times over.

If Alice were still alive Yuri wouldn't be chilling in Domremy wrecking the German army, so the whole thing would be pretty different.

Sticking the scene where Karin gets the photograph right next to Roger's decision to use the Emigre manuscript was a really masterful bit of misdirection. There's clearly something big about that, and it's especially obvious if you watch the video, but as a first time viewer you're still gobsmacked by the previous scene and you're likely to miss it.

But now that you all know about that twist, it's worth going back and rereading some of the Yuri/Karin conversations to see all the references they threw in. There's no real foreshadowing, but there are some lines that stand out a bit more if you know what's coming.

Oh, and thanks for all the LPs, TDI.

Thank you for the fun LPs, Id. It's been a pleasure.


And yeah - what the gently caress, she was his mom all along? Also, Karin, how much time did we waste to get you that ultimate sword? You got killed by a trashmob. For shame, Frau Koenig.

My assumption with the "lol karin is your mom" thing was mostly that they were setting up for the prequel game they wanted to do and could include her in it.

Pretty depressing her plot boils down to "is murdered by zombies controlled by a dude who Yuri wrecked when he was like 1/100th as strong as an endgame party member."
