Is there anyone else that loved the whole atmosphere and dialogue of Chapter 1 way more than Chapter 2 and 3? Something about the whole mood was great and while I still am obsessed with the game, I feel like the later were so different. Chapter 4 is exactly where I thought the game would've headed in Chapter 1.
>>715684823 (OP)It was supposed to be that way Anon, UT was serious for Toriel, then goofy up until waterfall, then exciting for Hotland and Core, and finally somber for New Home.
Youโll get it again, donโt you worry.
The weakest Chapter so far is 3, because it breaks the tone of the game. Otherwise all of them are great.
>>715685048After playing 3 I realized why Toby decided not to release it as a standalone chapter
Imagine the outrage if that's all we got. A bunch of minigames and NES Zelda?
Would've totally killed the hype without Chapter 4 to play right afterwards
>>715684823 (OP)I kinda agree, ch2 made me feel like it was going to be episodic adventures with actual plot bookends, but ch4 did a lot to move past that. King sucks, though.
>>715685048I like all the chapters, but chapter 1 feels so distant in tone from pretty much everything else and I distinctly remember loving the characters and King, coming off of the bosses of Undertale. Its disappointing that Lancer doesn't have as large of a role that I thought he'd have.
>>715684823 (OP)I really miss how King was portrayed back in Chapter 1. He was a nice breath of fresh air since he was a purely evil iredeemable shithead who spat in the face of the morals and values you learned in Undertale... and then he turned into a goofy loser who is guaranteed to get a redemption in the very next chapter and Toby decided that Lancer, who was very clearly scared and in pain, was never in any actual danger of being fucking murdered by his asshole dad.
>>715685048I thought it wasn't much different from 2, and it's probably my favorite chapter.
>>715685585Just wish it was longer, like a bigger downtime area
>>715685207More importantly, it ended with Kris about to enter the bunker
Could you imagine 2 years of bunker Chapter 4 speculation and hype and fanart only for the game to cut to Susie eating pancakes and drag you to the Church instead
The Church was still great but it would've stung if you were expecting the bunker for 2 years
>>715685654I still think it's really bizarre how they all just wake up the next morning and act like everything's fine
>Let's all go to church! Hope you slept well!Um....Toriel? Remember how you called the Police last night, because someone slashed your tires, and you were so scared you had everyone sleep together in the living room for safety?
Well, clearly the cops never showed up as far as you know. So um....
Are we going to address that?
No?
>she just gets drunk and forgets where her kid is all day then gets taken to pound-town by the grocery skeleton she just met a day agoHey, Toriel. You dumb bitch. Aren't you forgetting something important?
>>715684823 (OP)You already have a containment thread, go ask in there.
>>715685454This exactly. Playing Undertale right before it felt so cool, I stopped my pacifist run and started wailing on him when I got the text for red buster.
>>715685654>people would've thought Chapter 4 would have us fighting Goner Undyne in the bunker (gray fish in MANTLE)>absolutely none of that comes true in the chapter
>>715685396Why do you think that? Chapter 1 and 2 are very similar, you travel to a new fountain and seal it. Now with Susie being more open and Ralsei being less about secrets. In general they get along. But Chapter 3 felt bizarre with all the minigames and shieet.
>>715685207It was a good decision. I personally loved Chapter 4, to the very end. The plot developed a lot and character interacted with one another too, Kris with everyone, Susie with the doe, and Carol got introduced. Chapter 3 had Tenna and little more.
>>715684823 (OP)>anyone else that loved the whole atmosphere and dialogue when shit gets serious?Goofy Deltarune sucks balls.
>>715684823 (OP)Well the thing with Chapter 1 was that the way it was written was set up almost like a direct parody of Undertale, it had a straight beginning/middle/end, and made a direct point that no this is not Undertale your choices DONT matter(but then CH 2 onward we get Snowgrave, Ch 1 it literally doesnt make a differnce what you do) and one motherfuckers in this world DO want you fucking dead and you have to fight.
I feel that with the next installments we are gonna get a similar feeling of futility, and no matter how Toby decides to wrap it up we arent really gonna get silly mascot adventures once we reach the weekend in game. Were gonna get villains who are more like Lancer's dad who TRULY are vile fucks
ch. 1 just felt boring and bland, the humor didn't hut, Susie and Ralse are at their lowest writing wise. Only real highlights are hometown and darkner antagonists
>>715685970Chapter 1 had a fun but moody feel to it. I get that Susie's demeanor at first was a facade but it's quite jarring even now replaying every chapter in a row how fast she flips, I think it wouldve been better if it was more gradually. The humor in Chapter 1 was weird but wasn't to the extent of Chapter 2. Queen being a constant presence and feeling like less of a real threat felt like a let down. It lost a lot of the comfortable adventure feeling that it initially had, opting more for the high paced humor and energy that Undertale had if that makes sense. It felt like Chapter 1 had bit more of an edge to it.
>>715686050Gerson did a LOT of the heavy lifting in Chapter 4 for me
The Church itself was kind of boring and they overdid it with the pitch-darkness gimmick
I really dislike the "Susie is the Key to Everything" direction things appear to be going
I don't even fucking like Susie
>>715684823 (OP)I think it was a necessary tone shift, after all Susie and Kris enjoying their little adventures, bringing back that childlike wonder of playing pretend is what helps Susie and Kris become friends after all.
Chapter 2 is a wacky silly adventure, their second one, and Chapter 3 seems like another silly adventure at first, but as it starts to reach the end the facade crumbles and the true nature of the story comes into focus, which sets up for Chapter 4.
Still I think nothing will match the general feeling of Chapter 2's Weird route discovery, I wish I had all the archived threads so I could experience it again, no other game has captured my attention like that for a long fucking time
SWORD route was great, but it didn't match the same level of mystery, creepypasta feel that chapter 2 had
I'm hoping Chapter 5 will deliver something similar or better, but looking at the applicable chart on Deltarune's website, it seems a bit smaller than 2.
So I will temper my expectations

You WILL like Susie.You WILL impregnate her. You WILL make Noelle sit in the chair. You agreed to that the moment you started the game
>>715684823 (OP)Odds, I go back through every chapter to get the eggs
Even, I don't do that
>>715687426Oh good. I didn't want to deal with the Roaring knight again
>>715687213FUCK I was with some friends the night right after chapter 2 came out as i was reading through a thread with instructions and fucking it up until I got it right eventually. There will literally be no fucking experience I will get from a game like experiencing this before it became widespread.
>>715687089>they overdid it with the pitch-darkness gimmickFor me, it was the climbing sections.
Just scripted padding mechanics amped up by production value, costing more time than it's worth.
>>715687153You're not alone. With each chapter she feels more and more forced.
>>715687153Don't worry, Toby has you covered with the weird route
Hell the way he's been setting up things, learning both Kris and Ralsei have been holding all sorts of information from her, and learning she really isn't the HERO from the prophecy might just push her over the edge (foreshadowed by her saying she hates people that don't tell you the whole deal, getting mad as fuck with Ralsei after Gerson's statue is revealed, her piano story which heavily implies this will happen again, the person playing the piano better being a parallel for the real girl hero, and Susie smashing the piano as a parallel for whatever the fuck she's going to do once she finds out all of this)
Or she has grown so much (thanks to Gerson and her friends's support) that she decides no matter what she will do what's right.
I think the Gerson fight being completed will most definitely be a big factor in this
>>715687258>>715687310>omg she's my dream manic pixie badgirl quirk chungus purple dino gfneck yourself faggots
she sucks and the story revolving around her is gay and AIDS
>>715686538>in a row how fast she flipsAnon, I... Do you want to see the game completed in 2030? Because if Tobias goes slower with the story that's when is being done.
>>715687527Yeah the slow dripfeed of clues, people performing it and the info being slowly revealed, up to doing it yourself is something I just don't get from games nowadays.
Community played a big role in the entire experience.
I got a sliver of it once I entered the S rank room playing blind and talked with Ramb, thinking "Yeah, I'm on the right track, there IS something else here"
Still, it didn't compare to Chapter 2's Weird Route
>>715687681no, but my VESSEL is
my VESSEL is already a more compelling character than Susie and he hasn't even done anything yet

I hope Toby actually has it be a horrible evil thing and not a funny haha thing. It seems to be mimicking a lot of Flowey stuff and I can *guess* that it's just doing the shit noelle taught it in her fucked up catpetterz game, assuming it WAS the egg she had. So I think chances are good it's actually Evil.

>humble servant>jumpscare>cat-009
>>715687912it's weird that he seems to be going along with the Knight's plan while also trying to sabotage it
Knight was caught completely by surprise that Undyne showed up, so the deal must have originally been
>open a fountain in your house and I'll come get Torielbut Kris slashed the tires so Toriel would call the cops and left the door open, meaning the Knight had to switch targets to Undyne when she showed up
>>715687760>picGaster does not cares about prophecy. We're here for the NEW FUTURE.
>>715684823 (OP)I didn't play Deltarune, but I want to sex the King
>>715687985If Kris set everything with Undyne up so she'd get captured instead of Toriel, then that means it's actually plausible he orchestrated Sans fucking his mom to get her out of the church
>>715688173Sans did not get her out of church, she cancelled choir practice due to the rain.

>>715687893This is the purest soul apparently
>>715688173Oh, and one more thing - Kris is prone to getting jealous on behalf of his family members. He hates Alphys because she has hots for his father, she hates Bratty because she brags about kissing Asriel. So this is a completely implausible scenario.
>>715688173It's pretty clear that Kris had no idea Sans would be there
He's completely shocked by it
>Kris became nonbinary on purpose to assume a role in the prophecy he/she otherwise couldn't
>Kris pretends to be nonbinary to conceal his true role in the prophecy from others
How likely is either of the two?
>>715688375Neither are likely
Toby's reasoning for the gender shit has always been Skip
It won't be a plot point
>>715688375it's just so everyone can self-insert if they want to and so his fans will shut up and not bother him about it
clearly Kris is supposed to be a boy
>>715687985What if the true target that they're aiming for is Asgore?
Toriel and Undyne both work as a lure for him
>>715688375both are stupid
>>715688490>self-insertKris is not a self-insert character, but you are supposed to relate to him/her. Otherwise correct.
Nah, I'm kidding, he did it for Krusie's sake
>>715688639It's possible, honestly I'm not really sure what the fuck the Knight's plan even is
Apparently they're going to SACRIFICE Undyne? Next week though?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Py_02sqBV_U
>>715688806oh you'd be surprised, maybe self-insert is the wrong term technically but a ton of people seem to try to at least live vicariously through Kris
also I think it's funny that from an in-universe perspective, he is actually a literal self-insert
as in, YOU are inserted into him. He even takes you out and re-inserts you sometimes. It's a forced self-insertion.
heh
>>715684823 (OP)no
no
NO
YOU FUCKING CONTRARIANS ARE NOT GONNA START SAYING
>muh chapter 1 is the best!!11 the later chapters are soo much worsefucking hipsters
>>715688806Kris is supposed to initially APPEAR as a Self-Insert character thoughbeit. Having a non-descript ethnicity and vauge sex plays into that.
At this point it is largely an artifact of a twist that was revealed nearly a decade ago though.
Being up to interpretation doesn't mean it's a self insert, otherwise how do you explain the same shit being put on Napstablook and Monster Kid for example who you don't and will never ever play as?
(They're both obviously guys too btw)
>>715688936yeah this
The order is pretty obviously CH2 = CH4 > CH3 = CH1
reminder that the game originally was supposed to have only chapter 1 as the demo then the rest of the game all at once instead of in chunks like it is now
toby did intend people to self insert into kris until later when the rug would be pulled under from you (and seeing as how many people misinterpreted the scene at the end of chapter 1 at the time, it worked)
>>715688936People have been saying that since chapter 2, they also cried about Susie's character assassination because she doesn't actually eats faces.
It takes serious mental retardation to continue self inserting as Kris after four chapters of the game beating it into the audience's head that Kris is a separate character with personality and agenda completely separate from if not outright opposite to (You)rs.
Almost as retarded as shipping.
>>715688825Who knows, maybe Undyne's soul to absorb? If their true target is Asgore maybe his boss monster soul is what they want.
Since it survives for a while they can maybe use it.
Spamton believed that with his new body and a Lightner's SOUL he would be able to escape the darkness. Perhaps that's what Carol and the Knight think too.
And they're trying to save December that way
Undyne being kidnapped or Toriel being kidnapped are not part of the prophecy, nor is it any sacrifice that the Knight needs to do.
So it has to be something outside of it
>>715689287Yeah, it's fine to interpret Kris as whatever and only fucking wackjobs get upset at that. It's just stupid to do it specifically because you think the player is meant to project.
>>715689390Krismas Dreemurr was a black man.
Do you think Toriel seethes whenever she's reminded her son's last name is Dreemurr
>>715688375has kris ever been stated to be non binary in game or by toby? or is it just fan projection from the they/them thing
kris could be manipulating what (you) hear to hide their role in the prophecy by pretending to be the cage
>waiting in the kitchen air vent until Kris goes off to play piano
>he plays like 20 different songs, all unique renditions organized for the classical piano that you can't hear anywhere else
>every song is amazing
damn kid
I'm sorry for embarassing you by plunking on the piano earlier
>>715689505not in-game, no
by Toby I don't think so
but it was clearly a deliberate decision to never used gendered pronouns or language with Kris
I don't think Toby had any agenda and it's not meant to be related to the plot, it's just to cover his own ass because he knows his fanbase very well
It's insurance for avoiding a lot of headaches if you just say
>Kris is whatever you want them to beno need to elaborate, can just say that and shut people up
>>715684823 (OP)I can't say I agree. While I had a positive experience with chapter 1 overall all the way back when it released, the culminating point and the "emotional" moments were kinda cringe and try-hard. I felt the story didn't earn them. Or maybe my expectations were set way too high because of Undertale. I'll mention two specific scenes that didn't work in my opinion, so that it's not just me talking shit without giving you examples.
The first one is when Kris goes out of the classroom to meet up with Susie to go get chalk. I felt Susie's dialog was too try-hard and edgy. It kinda comes out of nowhere without any buildup and is unnecessarily melodramatic. What, Susie expresses intent to just straight up murder Kris? That escalated rather oddly. But that wasn't the part that made me cringe. It was that line Susie gave about not wanting Toriel to have to bury her child. Way too kitschy and subsequently cringe as fuck. You could express the same shit without writing something this gratuitous.
The next and more important scene that I found cringe is after the King tricks the trio during their battle. Kris is knocked back and being lifted by the King. Susie makes him turn around and says something snarky to communicate that he's about to lose, which reminded me of Marvel writing, which I just cannot stomach. Made me cringe into oblivion. And I rolled my eyes at then Lancer arriving with the darkners to resolve the battle.
I didn't find the following chapters to have moments that were cringe like this. The writing "lows" were consistently at a higher level than they were in chapter 1. Also, despite me enjoying chapter 1 on release, in my eyes it was still a big step down in terms of quality from Undertale, despite the better graphics and neater combat mechanics. The following chapters raised the quality level in my eyes, even though so far it's still not comparable to Undertale. Then again, a few games manage that. It's a tough act to follow.
>>715689190iirc the original 2018 plan was:
ch1 > ch2-5
we had zero knowledge of 6 & 7 until ch2 came out, and outside of that we still know absolutely nothing about them outside of them existing
>>715689510Reminder that Toriel never bothered to buy him even a cheap piano and he had to learn it on the internet instead of having piano classes.
>>715689516Kris...how would you like to be a demon?
>>715689613The consistent lack of acknowledgement for Chapter 6 is what makes me suspect 5 really is the end of the prophecy, despite Gerson saying LotH had another chapter.
I think Gerson's chapter 6 was original.
>>715689573while i can see that, i feel like it takes away from kris as a character, being someone that you can just arbitrarily say is male or female
this isn't like frisk or chara, where their sex actively would not make a difference in the story and were only truly characters at the very end of pacifist and genocide
with kris it does make a difference, as the role of the second hero specifically calls for a girl, and kris being or not being one could change the interpretation of it, especially when kris neatly fits every other requirement of it
>>715689823Does the Japanese side of the fandom even know what the 3 Mikes part was making fun of? Was there Mike speculation with them too?
>>715689791i think that's where toby's going to start introducing the real fever dream shit he said inspired the game way back in 2012
he has to be keeping it locked up tight for a very important reason, i doubt even temmie knows anything more than a very incomplete outline

>>715689896holy fuark that third one
>>715689505>>715689573Toby once interjected with "They" when one of the fangamer staff called Kris a he during the pre-ch2 release stream.
Otherwise he's kept entirely quiet about the whole matter.
>>715689965That's not even necessarily a correction too, it wasn't just "they", it was "they're stuck" while everyone was saying "he's stuck"
>>715689804I feel like Toby settled it without most people noticing by having the dialogue in Ch4 about the prophecy have every character automatically assume that "The Girl" HAS to be Susie
as in, there's nobody else it could be, Susie basically says it's obvious that it's referring to her
>>715689637Sometimes I have to wonder if these implications were actually intentional or not. On one hand the Toriel (and the Dremurrs as a whole before the divorce) being so neglectful of Kris that the poor kid has to go to the neighbor's to practice his one remaining hobby feels like it isn't the direction Toby would go in... but before Chapter 4 dropped I'd say the same thing about Toriel being a slutty wine mom who doesn't even bother to figure out if her kid is home after dark because she's too busy fucking a neighbor, so what do I know?

>>715684823 (OP)honestly I liked Chapter 2 and 3 but it didnt leave me with the Impact of what Chapter 1 gave me initially
Chapter 4 is what I was waiting for too come from Deltarune. infact Deltarune would of been a MUCH better game if chapter 2 had chapter 4s ambience instead of retro internet memes and frutiger aero
>>715690776I thought the backwards souls theory would mean Chapter 6 and 7 will have orange and cyan, but I'm kinda doubting that now after purple got skipped (since I'm still a reverse undertale believer)
Along with the fact we only have 1 shadow crystal left according to Seam
I think blue is gonna be the last soul mode
>>715690796This image gave me aids
>>715690796In retrospect 2 got hard carried by Spamton and Snowgrave. If 3 had been a solo release I feel like it would have been exactly the same with Tenna and SWORD route.
>>715690828>1 shadow crystal leftI really doubt that means there's only one freedom boss left. I'm still thinking once we get all five Crystals we're going to fight Seam. After that, I dunno.
>>715690667>It's the prophecy before Gaster fucked with shitBut the whole point is that it didn't change the prophecy. Ralsei hoped that different Girl who isn't desensitized to murder will change the prophecy, but it remained the same in chapter 4.
I am unironically a waku waku player.
I was hoping for harder Jevil-tier schizobosses than Spamton during the entire wait and I enjoyed the fact Knight was hard as balls for me on my first attempts.
I'm hoping for more challenges.

>>715684823 (OP)Only after rewatching Snowgrave couch scene is realised when Noelle says "it didn't happen, it didn't snow" she was talking about her and Kris witnessing some traumatic event from the past that happened on 25th of December related to Dess. Kris and SOUL are forcing her to face it and become "stronger"
>>715691362Why did he expect people to hate Rouxls? He has a very strong presence. You'd think that if Toby expected people to hate a character, he'd make them more lowkey. Same goes for Spamton and Tenna.
>>715689007This anon gets it, Kris being nonbinary is just to trick you and set up the twist.
>>715691574jesus fuck anon fix your image
>>715687414"your choiced dont matter" is Deltarune version of "kill or be killed" retarded phrase that obviously won't be fulfilled in actual game
>>715690991MORE HARD FIGHTS PLEASE TOBY-SAMA ACTUALLY CAN YOU MAKE THE KNIGHT HARDER TOO
>>715691574>that happened on 25th of DecemberOn 13th of February, actually. 1225 is Queen mistaking Noelle's search requests for "December Holiday".
>>715684823 (OP)chapter 1 art wasnt made by toby and was made by someone else unrelated years before

>>715691362>>715691405>>715691619I'm a big fan of Rouxls because of his potential
Right now he's just kind of a goofy retard who keeps showing up to be a joke miniboss, but he can FUCK WITH YOUR MENUS
the RULES CARD is too powerful....
we have to keep him far, far away from any Shadow Crystals or similar nonsense
he cannot know how powerful he is
>>715691619>Why did he expect people to hate Rouxls?He was deliberately written to be grating and obnoxious. It's very hard to pull such character off, but he managed it.
The truth is, Rouxls is actually a parody of Vriska
>>715691658>retarded phrase that obviously won't be fulfilled in actual gameexcuse me?
>>715691723free (you)s for anyone who wants to make that image, limited time only
>>715690668Yeah, but I'm giving him a chance with the best woman in Hometown and not some local roastie with bully fetish
>>715691769"kill or be killed" means "you have to kill or else you'll be killed"
being ABLE to kill doesn't mean that's true
>>715691708Undertale and Deltarune have that Dragon Ball escence. Do not forget that.
>>715691809Susie's just a lazy piece of shit retard who wants to play pretend forever
>>715691754He's like Okuyasu from JoJo - too stupid to realize that his ability is massively broken.
>>715690991I fear the timeline where people are going up against Gerson and all of his unused attacks
>>715685048t. level -1 reader
You fail to realize the significance of a Dark World created by Kris himself

>>715685774Tbf Toriel called the police while being as far away from the kids' earshot as she could, so clearly she didn't want to freak out in front of them and make them worry.
>>715691619For Tenna he feared people would think him a bootleg spamton.
>>715691340I played all 4 chapters first time last month and both Spamton and Tenna felt like Mettaton copies. Didn't impress me at all. Feels like its a very minority of people who post him in these threads. Like he has 10 fans at best larping as thousands
>>715691940no oneth speaketh Early Modern Englisheth or would careth to learneth it properly...eth
>>715691769killing for pleasure is not really "kill or be killed"
>>715692053yeah but she didn't even try to follow up on it by herself
she went to church, was going to do choir practice but it got rained out, so she apparently met up with Sans and got drunk
she didn't care at all that the cops never showed up, and that Undyne is missing
>>715691940wait a minute
is rouxls kaard a homestuck troll
>>715691910She will save CHRIST before his final sacrifice to save monster kind
>>715692168Kaard is only 5 letters so no
The moment Susie chose Kris as her mate and father of her future children
>>715692184If Deltarune ends up being a fucking Passion of Christ reprise, i'm going to nut.
>>715692195Considering the part of his typing quirk where he adds E to the end of words for no reason he could easily refer to himself as Rouxls Kaarde
>>715687760I forgot Noelle tortures her Cat Petterz pets. That's pretty funny when you consider how the Sword Route implies that game-inside-a-game entities still have some 'worth,' like whatever ERAM was.
>>715685454Yeah, that is something that is kind of disappointing to me as well. I thought the game was going to give us some villains who were just irredeemable assholes to fit the conversation Ralsei and Susie were having, but then they sanded off the edges for King for no reason. Then I saw Spamton and some anon found snowgrave, and I thought that at least we were kind of getting it in chapter 2, but then more stuff happened and Spamton also was made to be more comical. They should have kept him as some slimeball who sought his freedom and was willing to fuck over Kris( and Noelle in Snowgrave), but died from it; either because he had his strings cut, or he was killed.
>>715692375So is her enjoyment of torturing cat Petters and doing genocide route in her game some kind of hint that she went full schizo after Dess event?
>>715692468Part of why FRIEND being evil like current fan theories assume would be interesting
>>715692594No it just is part of her character, that she's repressed. She has a controlling family environment, trauma, and has to put on a facade of being some kind of perfect model student
but she's kind of fucked up in little ways
she "likes" being scared
she liked the edge that Dess had and Kris' mean pranks even when they went a little too far
she digs on Susie being sadistic to her
she's a sado-masochist, basically, but a highly repressed one
just shows that she has some deeper complexes going on
>>715692068good bait
now for actual discussion
Mettaton was such a shit character it's no wonder both Tenna and Spamton are a gorillion times more popular than that gay ghost in an equally gay machine made by punching bag gay lizard
>>715692687There must be something that turn her into the boss villain on normal route, since the point of Snowgrave seems to be puttin a leash on her. Her creepy fetishes might be a hint she's going to break soon. Whatever therapy she went on after Dess was gone, didn't work. Berdly hint at it with him winning the spelling contest against Noelle which froze in fear after December was mentioned, and Catti suggest something wrong with Noelle
>>715693057Literally both Spamton and Tenna are treated with same attention as Mettaton and both are only drawn as gays and only popular among gay community and fujo women
>>715693137yea I'm sure you'd know all about that mr tourist
>>715693240Show me a Spamton shipping image that isn't homosexual
>>715693274>shipping art is the only metric for a character being likedlol
>>715689952>Comments are from about 1 year agoWait I thought this was a recent mod?????
>>715693274why would I look for Spamton shipping images or know anything about them?
you really need to go back
>>715690337There is a way he can do worse and that's by making her human
>>715693313But Deltarune is a dating sim VN?

>>715693369HumanDess is retarded theory but at least art is cute.
I wonder, we can assume the DR characters have the same traits as their UT counterparts? like Undyne is strong as fuck in the light world, so for example Alphys has the same scientific abilities
>>715693291>Team Krusie in chapter 2>Team Suselle in chapter 4>Team Kriselle in SnowgraveI swear to god, Rudy is some kind of shipping equivalent of Rouxls Kaard, he switches teams every five minutes.
>>715693437Dess will be human
Papyrus will be the knight
Gaster will be a red herring
Chapter 3 will not be Kris's house and it'll just be a gas leak

>>715693883He did turn into a dog live on stage one time.

>>715693790>Gaster will be a red herringI will write Tobert Foxworthy a very, very strongly worded letter if this is the case. It's been TEN FUCKING YEARS
>>715693291Rudy feels like he only gave up to Suselle because Noelle wasn't invited by Kris for the festival a day before it happens. He is the only character in town who gave it any thought and guy is dying. Feels like Suselle is the least supported idea by everyone. And its not like they hate Susie as everyone encourage Krusie too.
>>715693786>Rudy will start cheering for Kerdly in Chapter 5
>>715691612His playtesters are clearly Japanese people who don't recognize SOUL
>>715694073I will unplug his life support and switch his meds with rat poison.
>>715694015could Gaster REALLY live up to the hype?
>>715694061Rudy just wants his baby girl to do whatever she wants to do, he's not dedicated to any pairings otherwise.
>>715685048In the concept of the full, finished game, chapter 3 will become much more appreciated.
The best part about chapter 7 dropping is knowing that all shipping discussion related to Deltarune will finally die off
>>715694337Won't all discussion in general? Other than "wats tobis next gayme"
>>715694337There's always the chance he leaves the love triangle bullshit unresolved and the fandom gets to keep talking about their football teams for eternity
Hey, Anon?
Have you told your TV that you love it today?
>2 entirely new chapters
>No new schizobosses
>No new routes
>No new shops
>Half the Town facilities are closed off for some reason and you access it once
What the fuck was Toby thinking
>>715694618I feel like the entire town will be very explorable during chapter 5, in the build up to the festival.
If not, hopefully Toby sucks a million cocks per hour and drowns in an avalanche of smegma, because holy shit people were blueballed out of Hometown lightheartedness for the last two chapters.
>>715693761am I massively misremembering Undertale or wasn't Alphys basically a fraud who just kind of inherited the work of her predecessor and didn't know what to actually do with it?

So, the correct order would be - harvest, cool down, sell, toss? If we unscramble this, we will get 1645. What's with that number? Is this another bunker code? Does it means we have all three already? 1225, 2202 and now this?

>>715694138Of course not. I just want to know what the fuck's up with him, even if it's underwhelming.
>>715695197Those were like a giant mistake and a result of her fucking up though
>>715695195Anon
When Susie tells YOU her story about wanting to play the piano, YOU are the one who comforts her and tell her that YOU will play together with her. Not Kris. As far as I'm aware, outside of giving Susie weird ass looks, Kris has never interacted with Susie throughout the course of the game
>>715695252Shit, you're right. I'm from a normal country so I'm used to think of Saturday as day 6. I guess it will be 1756
"the SOUL is the one Susie made friends with" is objectively wrong but it's something I could absolutely see Susie coming to the conclusion of when she's having her meltdown over Kris being a double agent who's been controlled by us most of the time
>>715695265>>715694138I don't want a full reveal, but you can partially show things about Gaster or use him without giving everything away - even introduce entirely new questions
because I think he works best as something you can never pin down, a Concept or Vague Narrator that ties together all of Toby's creative works in one way or another
because I don't think he's done after making Deltarune
he might say he is but he'll get the creative itch again and he might want to continue using the character as a kind of recurring signature
>>715694719jokes on you, I'm into this shit!
>>715695338yeah, afterall, remember how upset she was when Undyne got captured?
Kris LET that happen
He specifically set it up
And he was trying to PREVENT Susie from finding the bunker code in the guitar
That was ALLLLL Kris
not us
>>715695307>Kris has never interacted with Susie throughout the course of the gamekris jumping in the way of king/gerson statue's attacks to save susie? kris pouring juice down susie's throat? kris putting stickers on susie's face? kris high-fiving susie? kris pulling susie out of the way of minikris((You))'s attack?
that's not to mention in the very same dialogue if you try to select "i'll never play again" kris actively prevents the words from coming out of his mouth
>>715695390https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7pcI_zO9v6Q
>>715695434actually I did that with my 25 dollars
>>715695307If you haven't noticed by now, "Kris" and "You" is used interchangeably in dialog boxes. If it says "You", it doesn't means it refears to (You)-you. Kris is the one who can play the piano, you can only clumsily plink at the keys through your interface.
>>715695434The soul is still in Kris' body when this stuff happens, just because you don't directly do the actions doesn't mean it was Kris that does them.
Not to say the opposite isn't true. We don't know 100% how the soul works.
>>715695338I honestly see her assuming that we were the ones making Kris work with the knight. She'll be so gobsmacked by the realization that Kris was possessed by an otherworldly entity she will jump straight to that conclusion.
>>715689952What a bunch of fags
>>715695606I look forward to Ralsei becoming further and further unhinged as events of the Prophecy continue to play out the wrong way, or things that weren't even in the prophecy start impacting it
>>715685048Agreed. I'd say C3 is my favourite overall because of its tone and high-effort setpieces, but it is about Tenna alone, as far as developing the stakes or characters it doesn't do any heavy lifting.
>>715695606That could also happen, but what if she finds out by overhearing a phone call while we're floating outside him?
Reminder we are leaving Kris and controlling Susie soon. We have to give back every single hit with the hockey stick, it's time for retribution
>>715695672do it
for our boys in blue
>>715695530>just because you don't directly do the actions doesn't mean it was Kris that does them.That's exactly how that's worked up to this point
And in the case of the statue, the soul was out of him, as he used it as basically a tracking device to find her
>>715695530Kris plays piano without soul
Kris couldn't play piano with soul until Susie's encouragement
Simple as
>>715695695Remember LOVE stands for Level of Violence.
And she's holding a sword.
>>715687414The chair meme is so fucking funny to me it's unreal
>>715695695Susie wouldn't let us do SHIT. I'd sooner use Jockington as a vessel.
>>715695695Can't wait, she's going to be such a compliant and obedient host!
>>715695695When I first saw this panel my mind IMMEDIATELY went to the "Susie, you can't use Kris's controller!" "What's the matter? Kris likes playing as me better anyway." dialogue from Chapter 3
I had already assumed it was foreshadowing during Chapter 3 to begin with
>>715695307>there are fags who still push the "Kris actually don't care about Susie" headcanon
>>715695776damn
good catch
>>715695712>That's exactly how that's worked up to this pointThere is nothing that suggests this
>>715695776and during the Gerson fight she says "Kris! Help me out!"
so who is even really fighting Gerson?
>>715684823 (OP)I told myself I would not play the game until all the chapters are out but it's really hard when 90% of the world is playing it and muting terms is not enough
>>715695840Just do it. The first two episodes are still free, aren't they?
>>715695758>>715695760>(You) possess susie>any time a dialogue prompt pops up, you get half a second to make a choice before susie butts in and does her own thing regardless
>>715695840>gets to experience all 4 currently released chapters back to backDO IT
PLAY IT
THE NEXT ONE COMES OUT IN 2026 ANYWAY
>>715690796I hate faggots but love Deltatr00n. Is that normal?
>>715695786No, you see, when Kris speaks with different intonations and other characters catch on to that, it's also all (You), it's just a game abstraction, it can't be a narrative way of hinting which choices Kris agrees with.
>>715695801He literally does things hidden from you while you're in him
Unless you're directly controlling the action, it's very apparent Kris is the one deciding to do an action
>>715695786Not true, because of the website arg stuff and hints throughout the game we know Kris and Susie were starting to build up a weird pseudo-friendship before the game started. But Susie becomes friends with Kris during the first chapter of the game, when the soul takes over. It is our actions during ch1 that causes Susie to change and view Kris as a friend.
>>715695760>start trying to check everything in the room to enjoy the funny flavor text>"Dude, stop wasting our goddamn time! We need to go!">runs off to the next room against our inputOur FUARKing hero...
>>715694856You are not the friend.
You are not capable of being the friend.
I had a friend but now I don't.
You. Are not. The friend.
>>715695898>He literally does things hidden from you while you're in himYes
>Unless you're directly controlling the action, it's very apparent Kris is the one deciding to do an actionI disagree
>>715695916>Miss out on an egg because Susie thinks it's stupid to walk between rooms 80 times
>>715695958I fail to see how you can
It's shown that Kris can and will do things unprompted, so it follows that things that happen unprompted are due to Kris
>>715684823 (OP)other chapters feel a lot more weaker for me compared to first, maybe its the time gaps between which team loses its creativity streak and gets a new, different one. I noticed that in each chapter hometown residents speak different.
Catty iirc, the goth cat speaks VERY different in ch4. Previously she was exaggerating her speech with edgy stuff
Now. She speaks. Like that. Dot after every. Two words. Like a. Retard. Also toby made her lesbian for noelle. How we even letting this faggot get away with that he makes every woman a lesbian
>>715695776I was about to say that
>>715695695 was nonsense since I'm pretty sure (You) put your souljizz inside of Noelle and it seems like she's the one you will have control over, but that's actually very interesting, didn't think of it that way. Maybe you get to control Susie in the normal route, and Noelle in the weird route. Or maybe both, who knows.
>>715695978Egg rooms might not even work inside a different vessel at all, they seem related to Kris's past in particular and all the other party members disappear when we walk into one
>>715685454Toby is a shit writer with no balls to write anything beyond his usual wacky furries
The story will quickly fall apart the second he tries to get serious
>>715696023No it doesn't, there is nothing to suggest that when the character walks during a cutscene it's Kris doing it, which is what you are suggesting. Just because there are some times where Kris is able to control his body doesn't mean he's in control for a majority of the game, which is what you're suggesting. Even in times where he ruins you saying something, he's struggling to do it
>>715696094>get lucky and trigger the egg room transition as susie before she gets pissed off and makes you stop>it ends up revealing something about susie's past>the man is behind something else instead of a tree and gives susie something besides an egg
Is Ralsei our guy or nah? He named his town after us and the door to what might be the throne room has us emblazoned on it but he's going out of his way to hide shit from us which is a weird thing to do when he openly acknowledges we will determine the fate of the world.
>>715695786We already know Kris likes Susie the most out of all friends he had, including Noelle. By chapter 4 he is most likely already in love with Susie which is why we get scenes with minikris or the mirror scene or Diner scene
>>715695695But isn't that girl actually Noelle?
>>715696187>>715696094>man gives her an egg>it's the egg she laid after she was raped by her father
>>715695913>It is our actions during ch1 that causes Susie to change and view Kris as a friend.Eh, I disagree.
And it's not to put it too much in favour of Kris either.
I feel like 99% of the work at making Susie realize the value of friendship was down to Lancer.
We give Susie some commands, Kris does his little save, but genuinely Lancer was the hero of that story.
>>715696262Probably meant to be but it got changed to Susie after she unknowingly forced herself into the second hero's role
>>715696196Considering the image you posted, I feel like this is somewhat relevant...
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/RO2UVDfTmrM
>>715696362Definitely wouldn't have happened without lancer, but my counterpoint is the elevator scene. And pretty much everything that happens after that.
Isn't it fucking suspicious that FRIEND was a special EGG specifically and that the children followed the pointed tail in the forest, where TREES are
Does eggman have something to do with him
>>715696445you could've just gotten a screencap of this from the TCRF page instead of posting shorts slop
Somebody clearpill me on what happened to Kris's actual soul. There's no way he lost it when Dess went missing, because then he'd have had no soul for years.
>>715696539I kneel.
>>715696547I just wasn't fast enough.
>>715696540I don't know what that is, but thanks. Much easier to post an image. I'll check that out later.
>>715696594The red soul IS Kris's actual soul and we're just possessing it somehow
This fight is going to take fucking forever, being bad at video games SUCKS
>>715696594He drowned because he missed getting molested by dess, gaster came and made a contract with him offering to bring him back to life in exchange for getting a soul of his choice into you
>>715696635That doesn't add up to me either, since it begins to exist when Gaster makes his connection with (you) at the start. Plus Kris had the cage ready.
>>715696643if you haven't noticed already, you can strengthen susie's heal skill by using it a lot, and you can even do so outside of this fight. i think it caps out at like, 80-75% tp cost, though i don't fully remember.
>>715696594>then he'd have had no soul for yearsAnd why is it not plausible? All that zombie shuffle stuff was just a show for (You), as chapter 4 shows, he can function perfectly without the soul, he just needs it for dark worlds. The way people in town describe his behavior during recent years lines up with the way he acts without a soul, they also notice that Kris is unusually talkative in chapter 1 which hints that it's his first day with the new soul.
>>715696594>he'd have had no soul for years.It's twitter traumaslop that he can't live without us. He's going to sleep with the SOUL out when chapter 4 ends. Kris is in control here.
>>715696643Show the old man some perseverance, anon.
>>715696594We'll get a Chapter 0 where we discover the "connection" has existed since Kris was young because we'll be able to control him then and this gave him a lifelong distrust of his own SOUL leading to him removing it just to feel comfortable.
>>715696932Take Your Hand To Hell
>>715696192I think he knows that YOU are the Angel, yes
and shows appropriate deference
does anybody have the "Ralsei is Asriel and Dess' unborn child" image
>>715685048I would sum up my problems with Chapter 3 with the fact that I would not replay it. I'd revisit 1-2 in a heartbeat, but 3's format is not very fun in comparison and doesn't have much going for it. I found the minigames to be a bore and I would've absolutely traded the zelda sections for a more fleshed out TV World to explore.

>>715696823Physical activity without us drains him either way. He stumbles and collapses in the normal route after putting us back in, even if he never lands a hit on or swings at us with the hockey stick.
>>715697737>>Gaster considers the eggs an "issue"
>>715696539She wouldn't cuck Asriel though
>>715697838You're actually intended to do it after Chapter 4 if you're playing blind
After you beat the chapter the game opens a light thing to let you return to Castle Town, where it reveals the room code
You can play it earlier if you know it beforehand though
>>715697913Phew I was worried for a second that I'd have to make a new save or something, thanks for the info!
>>715697953And when I say "after you beat the chapter" I mean you have to reopen your completed save by the way
>>715697838>>715697913Is that intended or just mercy for people who didn't figure out the code on their own? I saw the room at the beginning of 4 and figured Mike is Spamton-related, Spamton is phone-related and just hit the appropriate keypad code. Then again, Toby probably knows his main audience is zoomers who wouldn't know about phone keypad letters, so I dunno
>>715698034Honestly I suspected it'd be MIKE in phone keypad letters but I was too lazy on my first playthrough
>>715691340>literally Fanon Spamton but as an official character>he somehow expected women and faggots to not drool over himThe more time passes the more i realise Toby is not particularly intelligent
>>715698108>Spamton deals Puppet/Cat damage>he is a copycat>he ripped off Tenna and half-asses his text quirk
>>715690796haven't played it in ages so i probably missed a few things but why is grand theft auto of all things queerslop
>>715690432It'd be way to hard do for longer than a single scene or two but I've always been in love with the idea of the vessel's gift effect at the very least the first scene you met it in. A conversation with voice. It solves a puzzle for Kris with mind. It heals them with kindness. Copies Kris "jump in and protect with shield " thing with bravery....
Tries to kill them and steal the soul with ambition
>>715684823 (OP)I don't like Chapter 1 or Chapter 2's normal route.
>>715684823 (OP)Chapter 1 felt so whimsical and magical in a way that no other chapter has been able to capture. I even think Castle Town looked way more interesting than it does now. I was disappointed when all those pointed buildings were just replaced with completely different ones in Chapter 2.
>Kris pulled some kind of prank on Dess, which leads to her entering the Bunker's dark world
>FRIEND is the one actually responsible for Dess' disappearance
>Noelle tries to cast Snowgrave to save her sister, but fails and the trauma ends up erasing the incident from her memory
>Asgore is actually not responsible at all, but somebody has to take the fall and he does it both because he is the police chief and to protect Kris
>The reason why Toriel divorces Asgore is not because she thinks he is responsible, but because Asgore became obsessed with finding Dess and proving the existence of dark worlds to save both families. It's also why Toriel doesn't like Carol, because she supports Asgore's theory.
>Toriel sends Kris to art therapy and overall she becomes both an overbearing mother (holding her child's hand at school even when they are like 16) and a neglectful one (starts drinking due to stress, overall lets Kris do whatever like owning a knife) because deep down she has no idea what to do with her weirdo traumatized human kid
I'm like 90% convinced this is the case
>>715698587>starts drinking due to stressShe's always been a drunkard, Rudy confirms it
>>715698108>>715691340It's a good thing that Toby's creative process is like that IMO. Characters who are very obviously intended to appeal in a specific way just end up feeling very artificial and pander-y. The dog wants to make fun and neat characters first and foremost, and thus the authenticity shines through accordingly.
>>715698108Tenna was supposedly created first so maybe the reason he somehow thought people wouldn't like Spamton was because he saw him as an evil scammer version of his beloved OC from like 2016
Chapter based game completely ruined.
Each chapter feels like it's own fucking game completely disconnected from the greater whole, it's way too schizophrenic when gameplay portions get dropped and forgotten and you have to hope they get picked up later.
It's just not a good experience when you liked something in Chapter 1, and it doesn't appear again in the next 3 chapters because it's been dropped due to chapter development.
>>715698108>>715698231It's a good thing he doesn't work entirely alone.
>>715698953Seeing the kind of people he brought on the team it would be way better if he worked alone
>>715699002I mentioned only Temmie, you cockfag
>>715698517it was definetly the mood and the music that carried that chapter
i wish we got more of it
>>715699002They've all been outfitted with bomb collars and producer-san has a legal document allowing him to flay anyone that tries to leak something
Temmie is trusted enough that she's only leashed to Toby's desk.
>>715696643Keep at it, it'll get easier.
For a suit made of duct tape, it looks pretty damn good.
>>715699297>not transparentgoddamn nigger
Am I only one who won't play any of the chapters until they are all released so I know if there is romance options or to know for certain what the different routes are? I don't want to play and realize half way through I fucked something up to lock me off an ending.
>>715699341>new hires focused on Chapter 5Oh God it's so fucking over, it'll be a Suselle focused shithole.
>>715699440Why do you have the retarded belief that the new hires are allowed to wholesale insert their own scenes into the project?
>>715685048Ch3 has the best gameplay, not the highest bar but it is just the most fun
>>715699376Romance options? With Christopher being so uncooperative?
I envy your optimism
>>715694567Did you make that, anon? If yes, I respect it
>>715699440Maybe so, but I've a feeling it might not play out the way you think it will.
>>715699185Daily reminder that one of the new hires is the roastie who killed Skullgirls
>>715699505NTA but they got *this* close from having an entire scene where they confess their love for eachother with letters like some dogshit fanfic
>>715687153Susie is one of the best written characters in fiction you philistine
do you think we'll reach undertale levels of AUtism once deltarune fully comes out?
>>715684823 (OP)>Win against the Knight>Toriel's face contorts, as if she's having nightmares>Lose against the Knight>All is fineEven the area around you seems to be darker when you win. What's up with that? Kind of makes me feel like the Knight might end up being the good guy. Or maybe Toriel is just evil.

>>715694618yeah but you got to rape the doe so it all works out
>>715699689Kris did something evil by knocking out Susie and Ralsei.
>>715699689>Knight might end up being the good guy.the knight and kris are manipulating fate for their own plans
You trying to beat the knight so early might be similar to snowgrave in the sense of going off the intended path.
>>715699689Toriel is also in league with whatever force that is controlling Kris and the Knight.
I don't like Lancer all that much
Greatest romance in the history of video games started with this
>>715699619Toby has a horribly crippled hand in every part of this game, he fucking acts out the scenes doing voices for the characters, it's why this shit takes so fucking long, the guy is just autistic about his magnum opus dream game.
If a scene is in the game, it means Toby wanted it.
If a scene isn't in the game it means Toby didn't want it anymore.
>>715698259Yeah, I'm not actually expecting a lot of VESSEL stuff but what you said is basically the right idea
just a little reminder of the choices we made when we created it
even though I'm sure most of us have long forgotten
>>715699624>Susie is one of the best written characters in fiction..........how?
>>715699837Whatever, just keep fanning the fan, fan-fanner.

>>715699625personally i want to see more of the "classic" delta AU with what we know now like momdyne, little sister chara, and puppet swap.
>>715694445yea it will. theres zero reason to discuss undertale for example, other than "i loved X part"
>>715699076Is Yasuho here to compete with Noelle in the raped competition?
>>715699440All they do is follow Tobys instructions. Toby does like his furry Yuri, so it'll be in the game

>>715700626A SPRITE OF WHAT?
You know Toby can just remove unused sprites if he believes they misrepresent the story too much, right?
Susie bleeding happened.
>>715700591You don't want it more than I do want it.

>>715687760the thing seems to be a manifestation of RNG, so like chaotic neutral at worst
> Kriselle is hinted in optional text
> Kris and Noelle have life long history
> Kris and Noelle have millions of parallels with devil and angel, knight and maiden
> Noelle specifically says only with Kris she is able to be and act like her true self
> Has a cactus names after him
> Has his picture as one of her wallpapers
> Meanwhile Toby shut down and cut every suselle sprite that he found too romantic since it's the endgame pairing
Anyone smart enough understands that Kriselle is the endgame.
If I ever make a quirky earthbound inspired indie RPG I'm absolutely not adding any love triangle bullshit
>>715700869she shouldn't be the main character rreeeeeeEEEEEE!!!!
>>715700915> Since it's NOT the endgame pairing A little fix
>>715700928The quirky earthbound inspired indie RPG I'm making now just has so many unique and creative ideas...Toby Fox and his fans will experience the most brutal MOGGING when my game comes out. People think his games are "quirky", you don't fucking know what that is until you play my rpg.
>>715700915Is this the sprite people were saying was a love confession scene? That's it?
>>715700928thats the only reason the games are a hit. you have to give mentally ill teenagers something to grasp onto
>>715700915on one hand, toby isn't stupid enough to pull a red herring like that if he acknowledged a shitpost like the woody theory
on the other, we all know he is a raging clamslammer
but also on the other hand he ripped off the bandaid and acknowledged his blatant krusie bias
but also also on the other hand its not obvious if we're even going to get anything doe related on normal route
you just don't fucking know
we don't know
it's chaos
Suselle niggers will rope in masses once chapter 5 subverts the lesbians and instead suddenly confirms Kriselle and Ralsus.
Good thing orange man defunded the suicide hotline LMAO.
>>715701109Not really, Deltarune is popular because of the great unique gameplay. Undertale is popular because of the bullet hell and 4th wall breaking.
>>715700915Noelle is a fucking snake to lie in front of Kris like that, but Kris is a bitch to take that abuse. If I had the option I'd have him fucking ranting on this sad little doe.
>>715701109I don't recall Undertale ever having a love SHITangle aside from Alphys having a crush on Asgore that's never elaborated on and Undertale was the bigger success
>>715701080Yep
Pay it no mind, it's literally a singular Suselle tranny that often pretended to be into Ralsus forcing the love letter faggotry ever since chapter 4 dropped
>>715700854Nah, I definitely want Kris to kiss Asriel.
>>715700928You should because it will make people more invested in your game, especially women. Do that and add a tumblr sexyman and you'll have a cult fanbase for life.
>>715701080There were shitton of cut and removed suselle moments from chapter 4 during the Holidays House section.
It's clear that Toby did not like how much focused it got.
>>715701117>RalsusDon't fucking say scary shit like that
>>715700915Kriselle and Suselle is toxic, Krusie is the wholesome one
>Replay chapter 2
>Notice Susie does that retarded trope where she sees a random object that reminds her of Noelle then goes (h-huh? why did i think of her...?) twice
Toby really is just fucking dogshit at writing romance and shipfags are all going to get sucker punched by wattpad yuri.
>>715700928Then your game will be dead like Heartbound. Even YIIK was only getting some attention because it had waifus
>>715701232Love triangle discussion is the most unpleasant discussion to watch in every fanbase and I will deliberately avoid it for that reason
>>715701334>>715701339Toby Fox's games are discussed because of gameplay, not because of shipping or any of that other stuff.
The Krusie self-inserter fears the Ralsusie plot scholar.
what's with the sudden vessel fanboyism
kris piss people off that much?
>>715701339You might not get as popular as you might have if you added it but on the offchance the game is really good you will have my gratitude for nipping that shit in the bud.
> picrel happens and does twice the amount of mental damage to trannies and yuricuck than the Bayonetta image ever did
God imagine.
If love triangles are essential to a game becoming a success then where the fuck were they in Undertale?
>>715684823 (OP)Nah. Deltarune peaked in the Meat Factory. Especially if you got the mantle.
>>715701115Alphys originally was planned to be a guy. So NerdxTomboy were Toby's first attempt at romance. Either Berdly or Kris with Susie are the main picks for Toby to fulfill his dream
>>715701387>>715701389>>715701417Actually, the majority of Deltarune/Undertale threads are about the gameplay, not just shipping or posting offmodel fanart. That would be what gachafags do.
>>715701369LMAO half of the discussion is shipping or waifufaggging
> Alphys was a nerdy guy with glasses who knew more than he let on
> Ralsei IS a nerdy guy with glasses that knows more than he lets on
OH UH.
>>715701441>Noelle with drillsOH NO MY BEANIS???
>>715701443All you really need are good designs that fan artists can run wild with. No need to put relationshit in the actual game.
>>715701484There was a dude in here earlier who tried to say nobody liked Spamton because he didn't have any straight shipping art. Shipfags are delusional.
>>715701441damn that's some good art
>>715701541Oh, ralsus is definitely set in stone isn't it.
>>715685048chapter 4 is overrated
I haven't seen anyone talk about this yet
>>715701493And then the Dragon cucked the Princess
>>715701387Niggas who worry about self inserting in shipping discussions are probably the dumbest retards to ever walk the Earth.

>>715701724Yeah. Only NTR fags self insert as soul who will obviously never gonna breed or get laid
will these two goobers find happiness?

>>715701806You're getting the vessel and fucking someone, don't worry

>>715701836hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm yeah, in another universe
>>715702025Can't tell if it's the popular bait or just a cope to think Kris is a female. You literally had to genderbent him and add tits to make yourself believe you aren't just gay
every incel here will swallow their tongues once they see the suselle scenes back in after the festival when they go back to Noelle's house
>>715690668WHY WONT HE KISS THE FUCKING DEER
>>715702124Wrong. Noelle is cute.
>>715702164>can't happen in Deltarune because dess got screwed by some currently unknown incident>can't happen in Undertale because asriel can't love people as floweyit can only happen in a hypothetical 3rd universe like Nutdealer

go, my frisk missile

So when do I get him on my team?
>>715702172>Forcibly rips the soul in and out of herself (allegory for rough steamy sex)>Gets jealous of you seeking out other girls (noelle) and kicks the shit out of the soul (Cock & Ball Torture) in a trash can (Chastity Cage)>Sleeps in the same room as her brother, likely fucked him (women have double standards)>Drinking Hot Chocolate makes her throat tighten (trained reaction for sucking cock)>Likes Susie (masculine)Need I go on?

>>715688360I tend to assume he hates Alphys because of her cool teacher act. Which mostly means letting Susie walk all over her.
>>715701618I imagine he's mimicking how Catti talks. He talks pretty normal just moments before. I also don't remember saying this here exactly, he still wasn't normal sounding
>>715702291>wears only male coded clothing and costumes>live with his older brother in one bedroom>no hips or breasts>male teen angst>Literally reffered to as Krismas, meaning in our world he would be a reference to Christ, a male holy iconHim being "non binary" or female is troons coping
>>715702351This is why Susie and Temmie are the cutest UTDR girls.
>>715684823 (OP)Chapter 1 does stand out now as having a slightly darker feel to it compared to the later chapters, mostly due to some strong stylish decisions.
Granted, I do really like Chapter 2. It's intent is just very different, mostly because it's deliberately meant to be the more fun adventure. Same for 3, to a lesser extent.
>>715702419>>Literally reffered to as Krismas, meaning in our world he would be a reference to Christ, a male holy iconNTA but Noelle is literally named Christmas in French
>>715702419>live with his older brother in one bedroomIs that really so weird?
>>715701387They fear it because in a deep level they know Ralsei and Susie is literally Asriel and Dess again.
>>715701543She is the closest thing in Deltarune to a Ojou sama.
>>715702206We know Dess and Noelle exist in Undertale.
Somebody should mod the game so you get to kill them during a genocide run.

>kris/krJs,kriหs/
Origine
late 16th century: based on Malay keris .
>The name Kris is a diminutive form of several longer names, most notably Christopher for males and Christine or Kristina for females. Its ultimate origin can be traced to the Greek name "Christophoros," meaning "bearing Christ" or "Christ-bearer," derived from the Greek elements "Christรณs" (Christ) and "phรฉrein" (to bear). The name has strong Christian associations, as it refers to St. Christopher, the legendary saint who was said to have carried the Christ child across a river.>>715702908It's something no one would say.

Yeah, we are fighting Catti and Jockington in chapter 5.
Chara can't be female. No women would have ended up in a situation like this and tried to kill themselves anyway.
