Wol
None Shall Remember Those Who Do Not Fight
- AKA
- Rosarian Shield
Ok, having arrived at a point in the story that
was criticised for changing tone by some.
I couldn't disagree more actually. Clive basically broke the foundations of the realm, rendering the powers at play completely broken without their mothercrystals. Bigger problems arised as consequence so it makes sense for the focus to shift (even after the sky turns pink there are sidequests about Bearers anyway).
But did it really shift? The theme of slavery was about fighting for the right to choose and that same theme continues in a more metaphysical way with Ultima, a master of "slaves" (akashic) that wants to strip humanity of its will. So I don't see any incongruence, things evolved quite naturally even (maybe its just me loving pretentious metaphysical villain discourse too much). I'm still digesting the entire Interdimensional Rift revelations, that was a fucking trip man. Game is absolutely bonkers in the best possible way.
