Second Week of Discussion 5: The Story

Well, it makes the protagonist sound stupid in general and is about awakenings, so I thought that it was about it since I’ve shared it at least twice.
Sorry for the original misinterpretation and being snarky about it, didn’t really mean it.


what do you even think is awakening though? To me it’s randomly earning a new power thanks to poseidon’s blessing, but that seem to be different from your perspective of it.

I dont think that was Awakening tho… from what Warren described, Awakening is supposed to be a natural thing, not some blessing from Poseidon. Poseidon gave us a part of his “spirit” it seems, and I dont think thats literally the Awakening itself per se. More like what wouldve triggered it.

You can still make Awakening “non-canon” while leaving that whole scene intact. It doesnt have to be related to Awakening.

True, but then wouldn’t that naturally fit with the story as is (especially with Shura and various other characters)?

This would mean Shura had Awakening, which he didnt (confirmed already)

Imbuing is actually a skill requiring mastery, and Shura was trying to do it from the get go, which is why MC was able to match him at the time, cause he hasnt gotten the hang of it (he just got magic recently)

Then what is awakening if not that?
From my understanding, it pretty much is the learning of something that you couldn’t do before, maybe it requires prerequesite knowledge or experience, but that’s the same for learning.

It’s starting to sound like it’s a non-concept at this point ;-;

Let me just pull something up…

I think if it werent a game, Warren would simply tell MC and maybe the others prepare for the war, which is why MC leaves for a quick while. Acquiring new skills, learning a new magic, dodge reflex, etc. (It explains the placement for Rill Hendix’s quest, as the quest itself implies MC is going around trying to get stronger for the war)

Eventually, they get called by Poseidon and the whole thing happens there.

No mention of “Awakening”, at least it wont be called that.


speaking of which, this sums up everyone who nitpicks the lore for no reason

this unfinished story has plotholes! actual dumbassses the lot of them

So it is is a non-concept!
How does this even happen :sob:


“Erm, the game isn’t finished yet, so it’s okay for it to be shit!!” kind of mindset, this has nothing to do with what I’m talking about.

im not talking about the game im talking about the story, and it doesnt just apply to you its to everyone

so it does when it doesn’t :sob:, I’m not going to comment more on this (it will be a derailment)

Awakenings still exist they just only give boosts of power that work as a moment in the game for the player to unlock new abilities. There is a statement saying that from Vetex, but it’d take me a second to find it(These random statements are a problem but separate from what we’re talking about so I don’t want to get into them).

Unless non-concept means something other than “thing that doesn’t really exist” in which case ignore what I said previously and explain it to me.

Hmm… I think thats from an old screenshot. I think I saw Vetex say that too, but newer statements seems to say theyre no longer canon?

I don’t think it was that old, pretty sure it came out after or around that thing you posted, I dunno I’ll have to find it, but I’m pretty sure Vetex is really just referring to in game awakenings in that quote. If he isn’t then I’m not sure what was going on in the entirety of the chapter where the MC was trying to get the awakening.

Man, Vetex when will you be straightforward with the lore for once… I was willing to tolerate it, but Im actually reaching my limit for once :sob:

Clearly writing as he goes lmao (with the lore and stuff)

I liked the early stages as while you don’t have many moves you feel really imersed and it is interesting, just feels like regular enemies don’t have any attacks though. enemies are kinda an issue throughout the game.

Later stages are kinda eh. big island, but the story isn’t build very well IMO, not until nimbus at least. argos was peak and nice though.

Nimbus is really good as it has its big peak introduced immediately, the war. We can expect a war and some nice fights. Maria is pain for some builds, namely glass canons with lack of range. The story is built pretty well here.

Vetex can do what he wants, and he has shown to already improve

Predictions. Going off my guess something is going to happen to mordon, something fatel. skyhall is likely going to lore drop our legacy and put us through a trial. Iris might improve her skills and awaken a second magic, which would also be lost or maybe even ancient due to her being an anomaly. that or the order kidnaps her

I think overall he does have a plan for the story of the game, but yeah power system stuff and some specifics change a lot. At least when he starts writing the books in a decade he’ll be forced to make up his mind or else nothing will ever make sense.

Im gonna expect a lot of differences in his book. Since a lot of things might need to be adjusted for the story to work well as an official novel

during vimir development actually

Oh fr?
