This ending is objectively morally correct. The Dessendres irresponsibly create and destroy life as a matter of course, and pay no mind to the inhabitants of their worlds. We see first hand the consequences of "pushing the limits of creation itself" as it irrevocably tears apart a real, living breathing world sustained by the soul of their dead child and the magic laden canvas it exists upon. Maelle wants to cope, Verso wants to die, Renoir wants his family back, nobody fights for the Lumierians, except for Aline, tiny Verso holding it all together, and the Lumierians themselves. But I suppose if an entire continents worth of living, breathing beings is no more than a chromatic habit you need to kick, I guess that makes it okay? As long as you get your sobriety? As long as their family is happy?

Maybe Maelle will be a benevolent god, maybe she will find happines for the rest of the population, or even reconnect with her father and mother some time down the road. But if Lumiere is destined to be consumed by Maelle's grief, at least there is solace in the fact that it took the Dessendre family down with it.

Get out of the painting, stop shitting yourself

No. "You must see things as they are. Not how you want them to be" is perhaps the most important phrase in the game, and her ending goes completely against it, accomplishing nothing.

>But if Lumiere is destined to be consumed by Maelle's grief, at least there is solace in the fact that it took the Dessendre family down with it.
Incredibly bitter way of thinking. The whole game begins due to Verso's sacrifice to save Alicia, and she takes it for granted, only to further tear the family apart for nothing.

It's not a coincidence they wrote her as a 16-year-old; she's an ignorant, naïve, arrogant teenager who doesn't know any better, and only child-minded people alike chose her ending.

Make your own painting.

She doesn't take shit for granted. Her entire motivation for repainting Verso is to "live this lifetime that was stolen from us" with him. Arguably she would've preferred dying instead of Verso sacrificing himself for her so she can live as a disfigured cripple.

everyone is suffering, lets drag it out as long as we can! If they are irresponsibly creating and destroying life then why would continuing the cycle be a reasonable conclusion?

>Maybe Maelle will be a benevolent god, maybe she will find happines for the rest of the population, or even reconnect with her father and mother some time down the road
Speedreader anon, she will die. She is already dying by staying in.


Your own argument explains why the maelle ending is the bad ending.

Renoir JANNY forced to CLEAN UP Alicia's shit!

The mental gymnastics that Maelle fags have to pull off to justify their shitty decisions. LMAO

Must be nice, not having to think for yourself.

The cycle continues in both endings. In Maelle's that specific Painting has some solace even if Alicia is twisted by her grief and it may or may not impact the inhabitants but her world continues, her family will continue to Paint and war with the Writers. In Verso's ending, more worlds will be created, more will be destroyed and the Painters will go to war with the Writers. More needless suffering to appease their egos and creative impulses will happen in both endings.

>>717386406
Fuck you. The Lumierians deserve better and only suffered because the Dessendres are too childish to get their shit together. Real Verso would never want his canvas to be erased. He says himself in the Flying Manor that he considers every inhabitant to be real and alive. Painted Renoir spoke the truth when he said this is all they have left of their dead son. Not painted Verso, no, but the canvas. Destroying it isn't moving on, it's pissing on Verso's legacy.

>Maellejunkies are making themselves look ridiculous again.

I just realized that Maellefags are LITERALLY trannies.

>both Maelle and trannies have shitty relationships with their families
>both Maelle and trannies are incapable of coping with reality
>both Maelle and trannies want to forcefully enact their will over others
>both Maelle and trannies try to live as conventionally attractive versions of themselves in virtual worlds because they're ugly as fuck in real life LMAO

It's little wonder that such people align themselves with the objectively wrong ending. Encouraging Maelle to live in the real world means they, too, would have to contend with the fact that they wnbaw. Exercise caution before engaging in conversation with a Maelletroon, anons.

The devs are playing 10D chess with your asscheeks. They don't give a shit about the story, they don't care about what the story means, all they want is for the players to keep bickering amongst themselves like this, endlessly interpreting the plot threads that don't ever reach a conclusion so they can sniff their own farts and bask in their genius that pseudo-intellectuals praise them with. Every aspect of the story is crafted in a way to deflect criticism
>I dont like this ending because-
You interpreted it wrong
>I feel this character is-
you interpreted it wrong
>Some things I have an issue with are-
thats the point, its a tragedy, your supposed to not like it. art is about emotions not about happy endings
there is no criticism on earth this game cant deflect. The devs have made an iron wall so airtight to protect themselves its honestly impressive how much pussies they are
>but all art is interpretive
interpreting art and drawing conclusions of various aspects to the world is one thing, interpretation for the sake of interpretation like in E33 is just pointless

Nobody cares about "muh morality" except for faggots like you who have been fed to sentimentalism instead of pragmatism.
