My heart breaks for you, Id. I can't imagine the depth of your pain and sorrow. We are all thinking of you - you've touched our lives, given us something laugh and enjoy - and we care about you.

That bit about being the Empress Alexandra being the granddaughter of Queen Victoria is key - Queen Victoria had lots of children, who married royalty throughout Europe, and sadly for them, Queen Victoria also had the genes for hemophilia. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queen_Victoria Remember, folks, don't marry your cousin (and then have tons of children who marry and have children).

quote:I want to say this is something Roger brought up way back in Koudelka, but the normal use for the Emigre Manuscript of just making a bunch of zombie laborers or whatever was pretty reliable, and it's not until you start trying to bring a specific person's soul back from the great beyond that you get into orphan slurries and horrible bug monsters. So if all Kato has done is revive Kawashima's corpse and given it a new mind through it's possible he hasn't gotten into the real bad poo poo yet. Probably experimenting with other abominations so he gets it right when he goes for the real deal. This is a cool point, and feels rights. You want a corpse to walk? No problem. You even want it to look like someone in particular? Easy. You want to rip a dead person's soul out of Heaven/Hell/Non-existence? What are you thinking? It's not there, or the universe isn't letting it come back - it's not available. Everyone thinks the answer is shoving more bodies and souls into the stew pot, and nothing's going to work to fill that hole where that specific soul used to go. But boy, you can get some real monstrosities as you try.

The game starts with Yuri protecting a small French village from the army of the German Kaiser in the middle of WWI. He's seen what happened to other villages, and he made a choice to protect that village, because he could achieve that. This isn't about Kawashima or Kato at this point - this is him witnessing World War I, and the build up to it in SH1 -- where one of your team members is functionally an orphan - and going all the way back to Shanghai's destruction which was caused by a misguided attempt to do pretty much the same thing Ishimura is trying to do now, engineer the control of Eurasian by (insert your country here) for the good of your country. Yuri has seen those devastated villages. He's seen the corpses. He's seen the orphans, the widows, and the maimed soldiers. The land blasted so badly it looks like the surface of the moon. By this point, all the punching he has done - what's his count, 3 arch-demons, and an extra-dimension being powerful enough to be mistaken for God? -- and he still can't stop the war. And here's Ishimura, setting up the next war in Eurasia. This is a powerful moment, but it absolutely makes sense, and I'm deeply impressed the game is Going Here.
