[Spoiler] so what happened to the...

black hole? even if u got good ending, what happens?

[Healingnoises]

Just got the good ending, plus star crossed bonus end scene, did every possible quest I could find, everyone spared. Aside from a few minor mentions, and a book or two, the black hole is never taken seriously. I don't even know anything about it.

Am starting my 2nd game for a mutable ending now, but will mix it up by going for fixed values everywhere else.

Then for the fixed ending, but doing everything I can to be a good little Virgo like in the good ending.

Curious to see how the head writer wrote things around all your decisions going against the single ending determining decision.

Will report back any interesting info on the black hole.
Actually might just make a new discussion to discuss every little bit of the story, plot and stuff like the black hole for anyone who wants to discuss it all. unless someone else does that first, lol.



In case the developers read this. Hiya! Love the game, not going to forget this one any time soon that's for sure. Truly looking forward to your other games even if not set in this universe.

Will mention though, that I'm not looking forward to grinding away for stars and equipment again, would love it if JUST equipment carried over to a new game, lol, would even be funny to have a few remarks here and there on Virgo, forever a perfectionist, collecting and upgrading every single piece of equipment.

If you don't mind the spoilers, I have the answer. So basically, the black hole swallowed up everything long before the game started. Gemini had Capricorn put the entire Galaxy in a time loop until she and the other Indexers could find a solution. This is why the Indexers and the Book of Law are so important. They're preserving the memories of a long forgotten world. That means that after every ending, time resets. Only Gemini and the other Indexers (Mercury, Chiron, Laplace's Demon, Save Dinosaur, Load Dinosaur) remember this. The Blackhole in gameplay symbolizes the loop, fight enemies before reaching a boss and repeating the process. In the Mutable route, you are interfering with Capricorn by killing Deneb Algedi and/or Cancer. Eventually Mercury let's Virgo kill him so that she can eat his heart and gain the ability to understand everything. After she faces Gemini, she explains all this and says she has to kill Virgo or she'll destroy everything she's worked for. You defeat Gemini and destroy the Book of Law by throwing it into Krios Volcano. That in turn erases the memories that kept everything together and ends the cycle. Hopefully that clarifies things for you.

so its either a loop or everything dies, that's sad

[Healingnoises]

Dang, so if a sequel were to ever occur, it would either be a possible new universe new world kind of deal, reborn after finally dying. Or the indexers would have to find a solution to the black hole.
♥♥♥♥... that really is a dark ass ending. I really hope we get to see this world again though, the idea of a world where the zodiac signs are physically manifested demigods that rule over realms tied to their domain is really interesting to me, unique.
Genuinely, I personally put this on par with Undertale, and even higher in terms of art, combat, and waifu potential.

the game is a causiality loop.
the end is the beginning is the end, etc.

the reason save files are called cycles to begin with, basically.
The game operates under the impression you are trying to avoid the black sun by bringing forth the golden age, and to those unfortunate enough to have done just that...you understand there's no mention.
Mutable path is the " true " ending, but it feels emptier than the others.

but yeah top any future wanderers here choices are color coded for a reason,no matter how much against your judgement it might seem

red is fixed
green is mutable

have fun figuring out the third
