Honestly kinda hyped for Team Xen again.

We're probably not seeing them in V9 due to the fact that Bladestar might most likely be the focus of the next version. There's still a chance though that they'll intervene in the plot.

Ren and Nastasia were sent to Grand Dream City remember? Chances are, we'll see them.

When was the mentioned? I don't remember that. Was that during the Kakori Village arc? 

 

Well, if they're there, we will probably see them and maybe battle them.

Yeah. It was mentioned during the Secret Shore stuff with Crawli's hideout and whatnot.

Maybe this time Ren will finally get some much needed character Development.

 

After all, he couldn't get enough of it in The Farce Engorges. (Not sorry)

 

Nastasia seems like she could be an interesting character, but we don't know enough yet.

*Maybe this time Ren won't be such a wuss and tell us why he felt betrayed. In fact, tell us how we betrayed him in the first place.

And Nastasia is cool enough. Pretty sure she used to have a deoxys on her battle team. Which is really cool. She could be something special if played out correctly. OR maybe Jan doesn't want to take risks, and will just keep her the evil admin, which is fine as well. Guess we'll find out in V9.

God I'm so hyped lol.

I would like it if Jan did take risks with Nastasia's Character. Even if she ends up being poorly thought out and written in this version, we have some future versions, in which they could fix everything that went wrong.

True. I'd be interested to see what route Jan goes with her.

Nastasia seems to be one of the stronger admins in Team Xen, so there's a chance that we're not gonna battle her until later.

 

 

Good point, chances are, we're going to have to get through Ren first before we get to Nastasia. Especially considering we haven't had a rival battle in a while...

Let's also not forget about Neved from Blacksteeple Castle either... (Who had the best theme in the game in the version he was introduced in, although I think it's changed now) (EDIT: Unless Aelita killed him, forgot what happened.)

You know who I want to participate more in the next episode? Piano Girl. She is the best waifu in Rejuvenation so far

 ...Why, god, Why? Why hath thou makest people like this on thine earth?

 

 

Any way's, I think it's time for a discussion.

 

Who exactly is the Main Character? Are we even Human? Is Yancy/Nancy/Whatever even our real mother? Will our Plot Armor Run out eventually? What exactly is our connection to Crescent, Madame X, and Melia?

I don't think we as the player character have a connection to Madame X or Melia, apart from being part of the light prophecy, which Crescent obviously seems to know about. Nancy and Crescent were acquaintances before we were on the boat to Aevium, so it wouldn't surprise me if Nancy was also aware of this fact, which I believe is why she was tasked to be our "mom" even though she is not actually our biological mother (if we even have real parents, that discussion is for another day). Crescent knows how significant the player character is to everything, which makes me wonder why she would want us and Nancy to live a "quiet and peaceful life in West Gearen".

 

One piece of evidence that we really are this important to the end goal (at least Crescent's end goal) is that she saved us from certain death up on Valor Mountain when were pushed into the lava. Crescent doesn't seem to go out of her way to do certain things unless it was extremely important. This incident on Valor Mountain is also why I think that the player character doesn't really have any "Plot Armor" or anything like that. Because if Crescent hadn't teleported us out of there when she did, we would've died with a 100% certainty. You could argue that Crescent saving us is the supposed "Plot Armor" in action but I don't really think that makes any sense, because if the player character died, it'd be game over, end of story. I consider plot armor more of an outside force with no defined source that keeps saving/protecting the main character for no reason other than "this person is important to the story, they can't die/be hurt yet" which I could agree a little bit is almost the same as Crescent saving us, but she has motives, actual reasons for having our life saved other than just to keep the story going.

1. We're obviously the main character.

2. I'd assume we are. I don't see anything suggesting we're not.

3. Good question. Can't sure for sure though. Probably not, as I remember a comment about her not even being a real human back in Blacksteeple.

4. No. We're the main character. Things have to be convenient. Even though, Geara kinda killed us up on Valor Mountain. We also kinda died back in Kugearen city when the bomb went off.

5. I'd bet on Crescent being our real Mother.  Madame X is only in our lives because we are opposing Team Xen, and doing a damn well good job at it. And Melia is just our comrade.

So, two of the Lights at this point are probably the player and Melia. The shadows have Ren in it included as the Shadow of Betrayal. Kanon it's implied to be part of the prophecy due to Madame X's interest in him, and I'd put him among the shadows, specifically of Obssession.

 

Nancy being referred the way she was indicates non-human, making the player ''not a child of man'' also. One of the female sprites also resembles Nancy, indicating she is really the biological mother.

Marianette, on the other hand, although seems to have normal parents as Melia, demonstrated a bunch of superpowers, general virtues instead of vices and, considering Team Xem's obssession and actions of Madame X, she is probably one of the lights, as the death of one of the four of a prophecy would invalidate the respective prophecy and Team Xem demonstrated interest in Ren, one of the Shadows after that.

 

Angie also seems to fit the theory. We found her locked in the castle, she has supernatural powers and seems pretty important while seemingly not belonging to Xem.

 

Anyone remembers which were the Lights/Shadows? I only remember the shadows of Obsession and Betrayal. I think there was also one of evil

1. I mean, but one female sprite shouldn't really determine if Nancy is the biological mother for the PLAYER. Not just that sprite.

2. Idk about Marianette, just seems like a clever way to introduce Indriad, which was a really clever way to introduce Storm 9.

3. Idk about Angie being a shadow as well. I'd say she's simply an evil character who was introduced for whatever reason. She also had her hands on a Dimensional Rift as of V8, which is a bit surprising, so a relationship with Team Xen is possible.

4. Unfortunately, no.

Because we are the main character, there's most probably something that makes us special which makes the three aforementioned characters have an interest in us.

its the booty

In version 9, will the fight against Zetta and Gearen be made easier?

To some players that fight is just impossible because Melia is very squishy and the Dragonite is just too strong without any decent dragon/fairy-type pokemon while the volcano makes rock and ice-type moves kinda useless against him. (The level cap doesn't really help either at that point.)

Yes, that fight has been made easier.

Small Update: #90593540285289

I finished one sidequest, but there a few others I have to do. That being said, progress is being made regardless.

Alpha testing has begun! Wait, Jan, you said sidequests haven't been completed yet! 

Why, you are correct! Here's the thing, there's SO much new stuff that I have to make sure past things are 

working before I go ahead and test actual new content. I'm really sorry this is taking so long, but

it's worth it in the long run.

 

Please note that testing itself will take a bit because of the amount of content needed to be looked at.

 

I'll try to give you guys a sneak peak at something next week. Maybe that will satiate your hype a bit?

No problem, take your time Jan because as they say: haste makes bad jokes. If you take other weeks, months, etc. we can wait because we know that you will do fantastic things; you never disappoint us.

I don't think we've been told yet what the four lights are, at least I know I've never heard/read what they are, but the 4 shadows are Pure Evil, Obsession, Betrayal and Greed. You can read more in-depth on the shadow prophecy on Blacksteeple Island and that's also where you learn the roles of the 4 shadows.

the lights are probably the exact opposite of the shadows which means we got Pure Good, Loyalty, Generosity and... idk whats the opposite of obsession
