It was a good story about the good being punished and the wicked being rewarded and only in the very end did a POSSIBLE change occur.
My thoughts on ending 4 are not as sweet as other peoples impressions
So basically he lets Thrash live, and gives up on Lotia completely.
Now he lives as a merc with the dragon loli and has to regularly kill the monsters she births to keep the "heros" off their trails
This also means Thrash was also keeping the heros off Imos trail thus Thrash paying his life debt to Imos and Imos simultaneously being in Thrashs debt
The only person that was saved was Aina and no one really knows what happened after that and considering the worlds going to ♥♥♥♥ i dont see her having a good end
Its a bitter ending in Imos perspective he had to give up on Lotia and leave her with the man who destroyed his, and all his friends lives, and it doesnt imply Thrash ever became a better person.
Imos position now is that of someone who will be put under extreme scrutiny and prejudice if he or the loli are ever caught, they will not be treated fairly.
The Lolis perspective is a better one, she has someone she cares for and treats far better than anyone else ever did, hoping to have a child and in the end does her best for him despite that he no longer eats and barely sleeps.
Its a bitter dark ending because the dragons were not punished, someone else will be put in Imos shoes but there will be no Dark Dragon to assist this person
And all the people who shouldve been confronted for their part in turning Imos into a monster, never were.
Lotia would continue with the blatantly false notion that her betrayal was for Imos sake, her self righteousness and hypocritical behavior never brought to her attention. She will continue to try and change the evil man she fell in love with to justify what she did to Imos and effectively reward Thrash.
Tori would still be at the manipulation and mercy of Ace, brewing poisons and aphrodisiacs and being a broken pregnant drug addict thats neglected by Ace.
Aina would, in best case scenario, go back to her kingdom while the worlds desire ran rampant so she may not meet a good end anyway.
Assim continues to be an ignorant fool he is.
And so on. The ending was...bleak.
This was a good rpgm vn and i hope they never EVER do another one.
the fact that Lotia clone killed her original is proof to me that, if nothing else, she truly loved Imos before all this ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ came to light. Thrash is a sly and clever trickster. yes she's a product of Stockholm.
heh, you should see how the modern progressive waman will spin so much mental gymnastics just so she can find a way to not blame herself. If you've been to twitter and such, and I'm not joking here, a modern waman will blame HER OWN LEGS as to why she suddenly ended up in a bar, drunk, and you know what. back when I was playing the fan TL of this game I remember being so angry at Lotia for not giving Imos a chance to explain himself. but after seeing twitter? this is just typical female nature.
it's not like I don't get where you're coming from, but let me ask when was the last time you got yourself this much great detail to character writing in any medium ever? and it's not like it tried to milk the franchise unlike, say, Game of Thrones where it's been 8 seasons and barely anything happened. or Harry Potter. no really, when was the last time you got yourself this much detail to writing?
Dunno, i tried to give her every excuse i could think of before the year time skip falls flat. I cant say she was stockholmed until after the time skip but shes aware of her mistakes when called out.
The clone i dont think, personally, proved anything. What i understood was the clone wasnt Lotia, it was Imos niave idealism of the people he couldnt protect, a wish for images of his happier days, they were born from his despair and the goal was to make everything go back ro the way it was.
Imos himself, in the kagura translation at least, pretty much tells her she was in love with Thrash at first sight (stole your heart) (and the dragons say as much as well) imo what Lotia felt towards Imos was familiarity and safety while clinging to a marriage confession made between young children.
When actually pressured for her reasons she didnt really have any that werent generic. When put in practice she gave up on him extremely fast when it came to something as simple as trust.
Rare which is why i dont believe they should milk it, a few try and it ruins a story on avg.
you're probably right. ending 3 is just horrible no matter how you look at it. trust me I'm not defending this thot in what she did there. EVEN IF Imos was the true demon king, that would just mean she's no match against Imos and maybe she's hurrying to kill him? ehh no way. she's just irredeemable. He's still her childhood friend no matter what happened. she never gave him any chance of explaining until she got defeated (and later killed by her clone).
My understanding of Lotia clone is basically Lotia minus the Stockholm and/or typical female nature. to a clone who can view the original's events both from 1stperson and 3rdperson, the original was simply unforgivable. the fact the clone killed the original means the clone has retained the original's love to Imos. at least before Thrash trashed everything.
exactly. this was a great gem to play. even though I'll never play it twice. I'm honored and humbled really.
first of all, Imos has little reason to stay faithful to Lotia since he himself left the village. he already gave up on Lotia at that point (chapter 9?). showing mercy to Thrash was not because of pity, but because Lotia """needs""" him. I know, Stockholm. but Imos wasn't with her when she needed him. and her not being with him when he needed her.
and then Thrash is under the impression that Imos is the demon king (it's the loli). so I doubt he'll do anything too reckless since he just proved he can hunt him down effortlessly now. he'll have to behave on many points. as long as Thrash doesn't know it's the loli there's little reason for Imos to feel grateful to the PoS. not that anyone knows the loli's existence. a little behaving on Thrash is all what Imos wants (a very admirable mental fortitude).
Personally I'd still say that there's still a very small chance of Thrash to be redeemed. at the end of the day he's just an arrogant thug and that his power made him that much arrogant. a good beating is all it would take for that arrogance to be dispelled. unlike Lotia. Imos hit a jackpot with hitting a loli wife instead of still being blind to what will amount to an irredeemable thot.
He left the village to go kill himself, something he wouldve succeeded in doing if not for Al stopping him. He still loved Lotia proven by his reaction in the true ending.
Ending 4 doesnt suddenly mean he doesnt love her anymore, of course he had to give up on her or hed deprive her children of a father and provider.
Imos wasn't with her because he got mind-broken into attempting suicide by the power couple, him "being with her" wouldve resulted in even worse torture than what Thrash made him watch for 3 straight days.
Imos himself says he feels indebted to Thrash for guiding the Dracoliths off his trail, he makes mention of it being Thrash paying his life debt but understands the irony in Thrash doing so.
Thrash had absolutely no reason to do that, he couldve lead the Dracoliths straight to Imos and Imos would've lost (because he didnt give in fully to the dark).
There was no evidence that Thrash behaved or changed much at all, the exchanged ended with Imos being at the existential disadvantage.
While i agree Thrash MAY have a small light at being redeemed Imos ending up the way he did is a pretty dark situation under the lense.
He ends up with a girl that treats him really well at the cost he must kill her monsters she has 0 choice but to birth, he cannot sleep and cannot eat, the only thing he feels is stoicism and sex on some level.
Hes damaged in a strange way and stuck with a new burden while the Dragons continue to make the world worse, all the people he loved? Gone or threw him away, the people who ruined him? Only 1 paid a consequence and the rest went unpunished
The next person to take Imos place? The events will be doomed to repeat.
I cant see it as a good thing, you just arguably lost a little less than you wouldve but it feels like that route was pointless, Imos takes Als place and when Imos dies the new guy will be the one the loli takes care of.
maybe this is how I got the impression that Thrash can still be redeemed unlike Lotia. like you said, he had no reason to. doing this is a small proof that Thrash is changing even if slowly and slightly.
well someone has to do it. I would if it means a loli is my reward. and now that you bring that up, it does feel like loli-chan had it way worse than Imos. and let's be honest, she was his only real ally. Next to Aina (the ice princess) at least.
Usually in these final confrontations people are forced to meet who they really are or the mc at least grows into someone who can stand on their own.
Instead the ending trade between Imos and Thrash left a lot to be desired and Thrash died continuing to not really be a character.
Imos and Lotia was downright nonsensical under scrutiny with numerous things like her logic not adding up, Imos had every chance to counter everything she said (usually the part in a tragedy where the mc finally grows some balls) because everything she said was contradicted by all the people around her.
The devs were pretty self aware about how stupid they made her to get the story to function.
Instead you get a rather rushed ending where both the driving forces behind the MCs suffering/stupidity isnt met with any acceptable closure imo.
One guy dies, rightfully, but as a result never grew into becoming a character
The girl dies apologizing meaning she knew her reasons were false but died never telling the truth or giving closure to their relationship.
You never get an epilogue of the people that assisted in destroying Imos nor Ainas epilogue after she thanks him, only the people that wronged him are in some sad pathetic state or are caring for the products/consequences of evil people: Tori caring for Ace, Aina caring for Lotia and Thrashes child etc.
The ending itself more or less can be used as a sequel bait if they really wanted to go that route but a sequel wont fix what i see "wrong" with the story. Maybe it wasnt meant to have proper closure which is strange from a narrative standpoint.
In the end they make this game into typical NTR genre, where the woman is a hypocrite and the badguy win. Turns out hoping that this game will be as good as Ideology in Friction is just me getting overestimating this game. Especially the end when Imos kill Thrash and getting killed afterwards by Lotia. Its downright awful. He should kill Thrash and r4pe Lotia afterwards.
In the end Imos still a pathetic MC till the end. Maybe it would be better to get Imos lose to Thrash and enjoying his life watching Lotia's getting ♥♥♥♥♥♥ everyday.
Get the actual true ending. Imos kills almost everyone who deserves it. The dragons as well.
at least be content with ending 5 if nothing else. and f**k ending 6 that makes absolutely no sense. why would she of all people choose to let that world continue?
