I hate ori's story

[Mr Fantastic]

why isn't the purpose of the ori games to find ballance? It makes no sense at all to have a star wars light against darkness plot.

This made me not even finish the first one and not even bother with this one.

I understand the game is more about gameplay than the setting, but it just spoils the whole thing for me.

Watching on youtube the owl thing going to die with its family just vindicated my thoughts.

Owl's FTW

Well, the story is definitely no Witcher 3 or even Game of Thrones. No secrets behind secrets, no real plot twists, no several layers of intertwined plot branches. It's a relatively simple story. And I don't think that they wanted to tell anything much more complex. What they seemingly tried to focus on are the emotions of the characters mostly told by the visuals (animations, body language etc.) and by the music. And the must have (mostly) succeeded, otherwise others wouldn't be here so upset about certain parts of the ending (Ori's fate, and Shriek's fate), because in consequence of all the immersion, most of those people seem to care about Ori and Shriek. Especially when I watch the Let's Plays on Youtube, this is a game with one of the highest "cry rates" I know of. If the story is really that bad told, than I am sure most of them would have noticed it and cared for the characters much more less.

well the second game is heavily built on the first game. Most of the characters in the end are Ori's family from the first game dying of old age not exactly the most happy ending

The last scene in will of the wisp does show the birth of a new light spirit , so this could be the start of ori 3 or just show the circle of life.

If I were to bet, it will depend on sales, but there's a high chance you get an ori 3 with a very feminine protagonist

Btw ori depending on the translation was both male and female, great stuff XD

1) "depend on sales"? Ori isn't some niche game series; it has over 500,000 players on *Steam alone*.

2) Ori and the other spirits have always been gender neutral/nondescript. A feminine or masculine spirit in a sequel wouldn't align with the lore.

3) This topic is ridiculous.

It's's very unlikely a third ori game will be made anytime this decade or even developed by Moon, since they said they plan on WotW being the last game in the series.

Also yeah, Ori is meant to be gender ambiguous so that the player can choose if they're a boy or girl.

How are you even able to type lmao

1 - sales dictate everything, at the end of the day microsoft decides this not the devs

2 - ori was planned as non gender thing, but even in the game's website they called him a he, in the german it's a she but in most other languages it's a he.

3 - no one forced you to read and reply to it, when people don't like something they usually avoid it ;)

This thread is amusing to read lmao

OP sounds like an angry child who is still too young to comprehend that the entire world doesn't revolve around their preferences.

Other spirits were given gender, Ori's was just not stated explicitly to allow each player to make their own headcanon.

Even that was not carried on all the way through, because of Ori's voice at the end.

I dunno, could be just what Ori trees sound like whether they male or female. The Willow doesn't necessarily belong to the same 'species' as Ori does.

But in all seriousness. I don't see why Ori couldn't still have been female as the spirit whether or not the Tree form ended up being male. Its a transformation, the gender could've switched. Or The Tree still has no gender.

This is a question they could've left more unanswered had they not needed to employ that 'twist'.

My headcanon is Ori was still female, regardless of the Tree.
