Thread 713455378

Why did they even bother including the Maelle ending when the Verso ending is the objectively superior option and the game is clearly biased towards it?

for teh luls

>>713455378 (OP)
To make people feel bad for playing the entire game and still falling victim to the same trap that Maelle and Alene did.

>>713455378 (OP)
To weed out the delusional retards, and it worked. Now we point and laugh at those who chose Maelle's ending.

the maelle ending is funnier

>>713455378 (OP)
That's what I would say if I was a fucking retard.
Now it's been 2 months and devs have pointed out multiple times that Maelle's ending might very well be the best one.
There are multiple hints in the game itself but I ain't gonna spoonfeed you.

>>713455378 (OP)
Choice is good.

Also Maelle's ending is much more kino, so i'm glad it exists.

>>713455378 (OP)
Because Verso and his lying, backstabbing, "Oh Woe Is Me I have to live my dream, when I would much rather have committed mass murder-suicide," shtick makes me angry past the point of all reason.

>>713455378 (OP)
Renoir's theme is HIGHLY overrated btw

>>713458284
Yeah I picked the ending specifically to make Verso suffer because he had it coming. Seeing his seething face at the end was delicious

>>713458326
third ending theme is much better:

>objectively superior option

its stupid and unfair, Renoir is a cunt

>>713458932
fucked up my post but you get the point

>>713455378 (OP)
because Maelle wanted to win too

>>713455378 (OP)
games should always have a choice at the end.

I like seeing the ending when villain wins, in this case maelle was the villain

>>713458932
>>just have everyone in the world die
who is everyone?

>>713459119
>How dare she not want to kill everyone in Lumiere that she grew up with for just as long as her original family

>>713455378 (OP)
I think people would pick the Maelle ending if they remember the original plot because its the one that, at first glance, keeps lumiere alive. Then they get hit with the Maelle jumpscare and realize it was a mistake.

>It's another episode of Versofags trying to gaslight people into regretting not permanently killing everyone but Maelle
Never gonna happen.

>either go back to living life as a depressed burnt mute cripple in a broken home with a mother who hates your guts but the rest of your family, at least dad, loves you - but everyone you've known and loved for the last 16 years in your second life has been utterly erased
>or live in a perfect happy world where you're god and brought back everyone you loved but they're not really the same people you loved, you'll eventually die in this world and you force the suicidal copyof your brother to live on out of a mix of love, grief and malice
i think she's fucked either way desu, i only went with verso's ending because i felt like this shit needed to end and life in lumiere wasnt worth going on after the twist

>>713459369
>Then they get hit with the Maelle jumpscare and realize it was a mistake.
Oooh nooo Verso is suffering and Maelle is dying!!!
Don't care. lmao that you think that would change my mind. Still kept the people in the canvas alive. Why are Versofags so heartless?

>>713459483
Clea doesn't sound like she loves alicia.

>>713459284
Uh? You do understand Maelle in act 3 is a necromancer right? Are you really being tricked by a cute face to not see she's literally commanding an army of the dead?

>>713458932
>fake people matter

>>713459483
>>either go back to living life as a depressed burnt mute cripple
"You can be Maelle anywhere" - Verso.
> in a broken home with a mother who hates your guts
She killed her mother's son.
> but the rest of your family, at least dad, loves you - but everyone you've known and loved for the last 16 years in your second life has been utterly erased
She's 32 years old, she can get over it.

Don't forget she literally HATED Lumiere for all of her 16 years of life. She hated them so much she chose to go on a suicide mission over spending 1 more year with them.

>>713459720
Sciel and Lune disprove this headcanon btw
The "army of the dead" were people that didn't get gommaged

>>713459720
And it's fucking awesome. Countless people suffered and died for the expeditions for the smallest hope that they might give Lumiere and the ones they loved a chance of a real future free of the gommage. Maelle took everyone that fell on the way with her and gave them the chance to carry out their last mission.

>>713459702
That's why I said at least Renoir still loves her
I've have a hard time reading Clea, I just think she's a mostly blunt bitch rather than straight up hating Alicia
I do think she cares about her but her form of grief is more geared towards revenge rather than drowning in sorrrow like Aline
Sure she tells Alicia not to expect her to make the same choice that Verso did but that can be dismissed as her being blunt rather than malicious given how she both loves and hates verso for saving her

>>713460070
>Sciel and Lune disprove this headcanon btw
disprove it by proving it right? they had 0 original thoughts during act 3.

>>713460164
t. Arthas

I dont really care that much about the Dessendre drama, i picked Verso because i would rather finish the job cleaning the canvas than have everyone come back just to be Maelle's emotional slaves.

>>713460358
Sciel explaining her backstory with her nearly drowning in Act 3 while sharing continuity in her dialogue with Gustave and Verso from the previous acts disproves this headcanon btw
Another Versofag lie exposed, just another day at the office

>gustave beckoning alicia at the end
yeah that bitch is still gonna kill herself lmao

Was Maelle a brocon?

>>713460557
>Sciel explaining her backstory
it an optional side content
Talk about the story.

>>713460557
Lune even shows interest in the outside world. She asks Maelle to paint a canvas of her world so Lune can explore and understand more. That said Verso is still right.

>>713460674
C-C-C-C-C-COOOOOPEEEEEEE
Play the piano, bitch boy

>>713460579
i wonder if im just a degenerate but there were multiple times i thought she wanted to fuck gustave
this bit in the prologue for instance
https://youtu.be/ffIRtLx1aqg?si=AiDa4i9NclTzyEs6&t=143
such a dirty little flirt...
pretty weird if you consider gustave is a stand in for both reinoir AND verso

>>713455378 (OP)
limpwristed father cant bring his family together kwab
shitty ass game

>>713460814
kek you can't, right? Because she became a nothingburger and completely irrelevant to the plot. The literal definition of a tertiary character in a story.
You lost the culture war.

bros..it begins

She's teasing him that he should stop getting sidetracked and pick up the damn flower. Porn has fried your brain.

>>713460995
Nice headcanon. Too bad time-gated side content disproves it. Why do Versofags need to lie to justify their ending? Makes you think.

>>713460892
The game is French. Any kind of sexuality goes. Proxy-incest included.

Alicia probably wants to fuck Verso because she is way more attached to him than a sibling reasonably should be, and incest is a classic gothic trope (and the game draws heavily from gothic influences).

>>713460997
trannies are taking over? Is E33 going to be F:NV 2.0?

>>713461091
They became weapons and stopped being people. This is the fact you can't accept.

never liked how neither lune or sciel admonish renoir for trying to destroy their world and for killing them
renoir clearly doesn't look down on the painted beings becuase he knows that they're alive to some extent, hell he's extremely remorseful and humble towards painted verso

>>713461498
>never liked how neither lune or sciel admonish renoir for trying to destroy their world and for killing them
That's because at that point of the story they have lost all sentience. Literally living mannequins.

>>713458620

>>713457706
>devs have pointed out multiple times that Maelle's ending might very well be the best one
Nice headcanon

>>713462281
He is right they said its their favorite because it helps differentiate psychopaths (maellenigs) from normal people (versoGODS)

>>713461498
That scene gives the most weight to them being real at least to some extent. Most people wouldn't apologize to a video game character with genuine regret. He also doesn't cut off or shut down Lune/Sciel when they speak up. I'd have included at least one line "what about us" from Sciel/Lune but I was happy with what we got. Sciel knows if in that position she'd do the exact same thing and Lune has plans to understand more of the painted world and outside world after they stop the immediate threat.

>>713460892
>pretty weird if you consider gustave is a stand in for both reinoir AND verso
She’s past the age of puberty and those are the only men in her life it’s bound to happen

>>713457976
I disagree, black and white make midwits think it's more kino but
>MIRROIR DU TEMPS
>Renoir embracing Aline
>YOUR HAND IN MINE
was all the kino I needed

I saw a scene somewhere here where verso attacks his old gf? When does it play, I missed it. Or did I hallucinate things.

>>713462507
>Lune has plans to understand more of the painted world and outside world after they stop the immediate threat.
This is psychotic btw
I did the Maelle ending and don't regret it but Maelle just painting even more thousands of people inside another world that three layers deep just so that Lune can satisfy her intellectual curiosity of what the outside world looks like is insanity.

The writers could very well have had perfectly good reasons to want to exterminate the painters. These posh fucks have no oversight on the endless ethical quandaries they create.

>>713462934
He doesn't attack her, she stares at him dumbounded that he's still alive.

It's in the first Maelle nigthmare at camp. Act 1, I believe.

>>713462960
>These posh fucks have no oversight on the endless ethical quandaries they create
And you think WRITERS do? The
>let's bomb this 16 year old girl in hopes we get her parents
gang? They probably are even worse.

>>713455708
I picked Maelle and don't feel like a victim. It was a well done ending.
