New Game+ [Spoiler]

[Kamiyo]

So I hoped that you could use a *better Gustave* in the New Game+ but in the end he just have all Verso's weapon without any passives on all of them, his skills still locked, we all know that Verso just take Gustave's place in the team but in reality, he is the same character (technically speaking) , that's a bit a shame because I wanted to build Gustave too. I would like to see a dlc or something in future that let you use a buildable Gustave in the ng+ even after his death

Funny that you set the death of Gustave in a spoiler but dont set it above when you tell Verso takes Gustaves place -.-

[Kamiyo]

well there is Spoiler tag already in the title, how many spoiler tags do you want?

I just wish he came back at the beginning of act 3 and it really doesn't make sense to not bring him back at that point.
I guess they just didn't want to design his skill tree fully or change the skills on weapons for him, really hope they bring him back in the game as a free update, to thank the community.

The copium was strong with me. I went to the cliffs, then to the burial site, and then I remembered that I saw his grave had moved into the monolith. No dice. Big sad :(

The first thing I did at the beginning of act 3 is go back to gustave's grave in the hope of bringing him back ... I liked him a lot more than verso to be honest

Honestly surprised that they don't just give him to you once you finish the game. Who cares if he doesn't do anything special. Just let us use him!

Ofc you liked Gustave more.. There is dialogue in game where Verso tells maelle that HE COULD HAD SAVED GUSTAVE, but chose not to.. Since he feared that maelle would get attached to the Canvas, and would not leave it. (like in the ending). He let GUSTAVE be killed, and then pretented to "help" when gustave was already dead(had literal hole in him.) Verso was the Villain, but also the Hero. Kinda f up situation.. Thats why virtual world with sentient people would be horror.

The way I interpreted Alicia's powers was that she couldn't just resurrect people like that.

She did bring back the very recently gommaged Sciel and Lune, but then the game immediately makes a point of how she can't resurrect the other expeditioners and she ends up with a kinda golem army of messily raised corpses.

As i understand it, "gommaged" is just Renoit deleting someones chroma from the canvas, Alicia had the ability to just put Sciel and Lune's chroma back before it was "painted over" the same way she stabilises Verso a couple of times or put herself back into her reborn Maelle persona.

Gustave however wasn't gommaged, he was actually killed, somewhere in the canvas is an actual painting of his death, Alicia can't do anything about that, she could try painting a copy that would pass well, but like like with Verso and the lore behind the gestrals being reborn, Alicia's newly painted Gustave wouldn't actually be him and this new Gustave himself would know it too.

Sadly he is just Aerith in a man's clothing. I prefer him more than Verso as well.
