so saying "oh it's from undertale so it has nothing to do with deltarune" is just ignoring the fact that we already have linked stuff

#

||We have 3 chapters left||

#

||3 big chapters||

thats assuming thats how its gonna be done

#

||I feel like Sans isn’t going to be like a big player in the plot but based on the ā€œinferno of jealousyā€ line, I assume that Asgore might learn of what happened that night and go into a downward spiral||

#

||Sans being less a player in the story and just being used to help a different much more important character go down their path||

#

||wait..."inferno of jealousy"...?
FIREGRAVE THEORY PART 2||

calm furnace
#

||I feel the same. If we’re going to work in jealousy I find it more likely that Catti would be involved as opposed to someone like sans so her love for Noelle can contrast asgore’s love for Toriel ||

#

||Also as a Lost Soul in the Asriel fight he just says this

#

||If there's no payoff I will run over to the house of Robert F. Fox and look creepily through the window with annoyed intent||

#

||Im wondering if susie is gonna reject noelles inevitable confession at the fair and that could lead to a more serious dark world later down the line

Could be the fountain that gives dess/carol the most power, considering family ties||

#

||Noelles already kinda freaked out a bunch whenever susie brings up kris||

frosty hare
#

Let's say, for the sake of argument, that what we see in Undertale is presented as literally as possible: ||Lost in another world with an uncanny duplicate of his brother, Sans feels his memory slipping and tries his best to draw the three most important people in his life: the three heroes of Deltarune. Using his scientific know-how, he builds a machine to transport himself back to the world of Deltarune but fails.||

#

That means in the next three chapters we need to learn that ||Sans is a scientist, Sans meets Ralsei, and Sans develops a meaningful enough connection with the trio that they're his final shred of memory of the old world.||

twin dove
#

||Theres also that ā€œpicture of a bunch of smiling people you dont recognizeā€||

frosty hare
twin dove
#

||Could be pics from the festival or something||

frosty hare
#

There's two?

#

In either case, it would be absurd for him to not have taken a photo with ||Toriel,|| which Frisk would have recognized

silent dock
frosty hare
#

And that's also the one with the ||Don't Forget|| written on the back?

silent dock
#

yes

twin dove
frosty hare
#

Okay. So that one is ||promo for Deltarune|| and probably should be disregarded

silent dock
#

oh my bad, it always happens after talking to clam girl, no matter the platform

silent dock
#

it happened in version 1.001, so since the 20th of january 2016

frosty hare
#

Clam Girl wasn't in the update that was just before Chapter 1?

silent dock
#

clam girl was in the game from the start, but got added dialogue as a goner in the switch version

#

her turning into a goner and saying that "the time you will meet her... is fast approaching" was new

#

the rest was already there

#

she even mentioned suzy already

frosty hare
#

Hm. Well, my point still stands. I can't see it being done in a satisfactory way for Deltarune.

silent dock
frosty hare
#

If the symbolism of ||It's Raining Somewhere Else and The Place Where it Rained|| is that ||Sans is reminiscing about a good time he had with Toriel in his world while he recounts a story to Frisk about a good time he had in this world with a person he doesn't realize is Toriel yet,|| I guess that works. But it's like orders of magnitude more profound than anything else we get in the games so far.

#

I'm going to be hung up on that until we explicitly get ||a scene with Sans where The Place Where it Rains plays||

twin dove
#

||I definitely dont think the 3 smiling friends saying dont forget is just promo material, as sans dialouge about wanting to go back and the lab itself having the smiling people picture was in there from v 1.0 of undertale. Dont forget was added very soon after, and clam girl was added like a year or two after and mentioned a ā€œsuzyā€. I think its highly likely sand got transported out of deltarune and to undertale at some point.||

#

||Also the place where it rained plays just before you walk into the house to see sans dancing with toriel tbf lol||

silent dock
twin dove
#

||The suzy dialouge was new though im pretty sure.||

silent dock
#

she's even the one who changes the photo from what it normally is to the don't forget one

#

i wonder why its spelled differently

||Human i remember your rains||

#

yknow its kinda weird in the first place that ||undertale has a theme prominently featuring sans's leitmotif in a song called "its raining somewhere else"||

silent dock
#

I'm listening to it now since we're talking about it, I forgot just how relaxing it is...

frosty hare
#

It's very good

#

Remember when people thought it was proof that ||Sans was Ness from Earthbound||?

silent dock
#

wdym? that's totally still true

#

he's also steven universe

honest nest
#

both sans = steven after not surviving and sans = ness have been officially acknowledged by toby fox and are thus canon

||i just really like how enormous tenna is compared to 95% of characters idk why||

This appears to be an early version of the Deltarune Chapter 4 scene in Noelle's home triggered by entering it, thus progressing the story. The scene was changed because Toby Fox decided to. Well. That's! This is the pre-release version of the cutscene. We hope you enjoy it as much as I didn't!

I loved the heck out of this

molten sigil
#

it might be ||the egg|| that's the key

#

and it might be some kind of paradox

#

||the game places emphasis on sans specifically because we know who he is from undertale||

silent dock
alpine dawn
#

||that is how the man behind the tree talks||

#

||is the man behind the tree Kris“s old therapist? is Deltarune“s Gaster?||

silent dock
#

||I don't think the man behind the tree is gaster
he seems related, what with being aware of "DELTARUNE" as a program, speaking in all caps, being hidden and "outside" the game...
but his speech patterns are too different

however, it seems obvious now that the man behind the tree is the one who wrote the super rare valentine's letter||

alpine dawn
#

||well, maybe is gaster but its like...part of gaster? since he was shatter, maybe this is gaster“s whimsical“s side?||

frosty hare
#

||The Man Behind the Tree seems to be involved with whatever "The Children" (almost certainly Kris, Noelle, Dess, and Asriel) encountered when they were "Lost where the forest would grow." They're something (or someone) that Kris saw (but we the players didn't because we weren't controlling them yet), and they seem to be at the core of the psychological problems Kris suffers from.||

alpine dawn
#

||The Hell“s Tail||

frosty hare
#

||Or perhaps the Man is simply a representation of what Kris is repressing overall. I'm relatively certain that Kris was there when Dess vanished/ was taken and believes there's something they could have done to save her. ||

#

||And it probably had to do with his hand, like he had her and dropped her, or she reached out and he couldn't grab her, etc.||

alpine dawn
#

||I love how ch3-4 give us more questions than answers||

frosty hare
#

||So it could be that a physical scary man abducted Dess into a Dark World and we'll meet them later. But I think it's more likely that There Isn't a Man There at all, and Kris is simply seeing what their mind rationalizes.||

alpine dawn
#

||but the eggs....susie sees them too||

frosty hare
#

||The eggs are strange. They also maintain their physical presence outside the Dark World. But they're also "not too important." So I guess we take Toby at his word.||

alpine dawn
#

||they are not too important but not too unimportant||

frosty hare
#

||Based on Chapter 4 I'd say the information we glean in attaining the eggs is more important than the eggs themselves.||

alpine dawn
#

||there is other stuff more important that getting the end||

#

||still is curious to think about them...||

frosty hare
#

||The Man also appears outside the Dark World, albeit also in places only Kris can see, and in both cases across panes of glass.||

||I...kind of doubt that if the only reason we have continued access to the Deltarune world is through HIM||

all final bosses
||i genuinely have no idea how they could keep one-upping the final boss of each chapter. from a simple "bad guy" to a giant robot to the actual roaring knight to a fucking titan||

#

||also these four have a combined total of 3 colors in their color palettes (excluding the battery acid) lol||

#

||also wait i just realized these two have the same static effect when they take damage||

rough frost
#

||I think Asgore is going to be the chapter 5 boss||

rough frost

||Like there’s not many ways you can really one up a titan for the next few chapters||

rough frost
#

||Your dad might be one of them, as it’s less a big dangerous battle and more about the connection and emotions||

||not because it isn't important to the story as a whole, but because it's something that already happened and isn't entirely necessary to the development the main characters go through||

#

i could see a very similar thing happening here

#

I'm not denying that

#

but as you just said yourself "not because it's not important"

||I just fought the Knight, which was cool
But my question is… WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT ENTIRE 8 BIT SEQUENCE IN CHAPTER 3 HELLO||

twin dove
# honest nest i wonder why this might be- ||https://fxtwitter.com/NewtyButt/status/19396959281...

||Some troubles with this theory:
if titans were required to gift people power to manifest their true form then how would multiple fetuses exist from just one fountain made by one person

If the adolescent stage is them possessing a lightener, it kinda makes the fetus stage not make sense.
Like would fetuses be useless creatures that dont grow up into actual titans?

This also requires the titan to exist in the first place to even be able to make said deal with the person, so they wouldnt need to ā€œgrowā€.||

frosty hare
#

||I think that, because Titans form from Dark Fountains and Lighters form Dark Fountains, some sort of arrangement needs to be struck between the Titans and at least one Lightner in order for them to prosper. I do not think that Titan "Spawn" are actually their young, but rather satellite minions.||

#

||The Knight isn't "The Fountain Knight," it's The Roaring Knight, which means it's working specifically to cause Titans to appear. That's why, based on its appearance and goals, I so heavily favor the idea of a literal symbiosis between a Lightner and a Titan (or more likely, a Titan Spawn).||

twin dove
#

||I think its possible for titans to leech off of lighteners and vice versa

Its likely that the roaring knight is an actual person based on the fact kris thinks about them taking off their helmet, and they are likely using the roaring for their own purposes. It would be pretty strange if titan spawn were not their young, as where else would titans grow from||

silent dock
#

||well... from fountains, like we're told they do||

#

||I don't think they have a life cycle, I think they just are||

twin dove
#

||I mean that makes some sense itself, but then it kinda throws the entire tweet out and the roaring knight would obviously not be one

I think its plausible the spawn grow into titans themselves after enough time, as the titan does heal itself by repairing itself with them.||

#

||I mean… yeah they could? The spawn just emerge in places of deep dark, it makes sense that titans could emerge more fully formed from larger places of deep dark like fountains.

It makes far more sense than the alternative the person presented where titans are just lighteners that get corrupted by other titans||

frosty hare
#

I don't think either is true.

#

Obviously the OP's is more farfetched because ||we already have an idea of what happens when a Lightner becomes corrupted by titans - that's what the Knight is.||

#

RPG and JRPG are pointless terms

#

I think since Toby is the main dev for the game, it should not count as a JRPG

JRPG just means that it is based on FF and DQ gameplay and logic

at least thast what my brain says

like you wouldnt call Skyrim a JRPG even if it was japanese

I'm pretty sure JRPG technically just means an RPG that is Japanese

it can mean more than that and has been used as a term thats not just Japanese games many times like Sea of Stars

wasnt most western games built around moving things around

#

in those early era

#

like finding keys in mazes or navigating platforming

fathom canopy
#

The first RPG was done in the west, yes
By a woman I believe

lyric surge
#

what game is it

fathom canopy
#

no clue but the Google results are all wrong

#

Gonna be hard to find out cuz it's one of those super early things that barely qualifies as videogames. There's a series of documentaries about the beginning of video game history and one of them touches on it

#

the only thing i can find is a text-based attempt at dungeons and dragons in the mid 1970s

#

and it was apparently made by a guy

fathom canopy
#

Yeah they should be all text-only games

#

All I mean, the stuff at the time

#

if you think about it if RPGs were invented in Japan then Japanese RPGs would just be RPGs and western RPGs would be the ones with different nomenclature and be WRPGs. this is absolute proof they were invented in the west

Would you call Elden Ring a JRPG

#

As it’s an (action) rpg from Japan

#

Would you even call it a RPG

#

Would you call Elder Scrolls a RPG

fathom canopy
#

by definition elden ring is JRPG yes
And Elder Scrolls a BRPG

rough frost
#

ā€œWell it has RPG mechanics like stats and items and levels and you’re playing a roleā€ would you call Snake a RPG

#

Snake has stats

#

You get bigger when you eat the apples

#

The apples are items

#

And you’re playing the role of a snake

fathom canopy
#

I foresee your health stats decreasing in the very near future

all i want is an easy nickname for the genre

#

and TRPG is already taken

unique phoenix
#

what genre are we talking about

lyric surge
#

turn-based overworld scene and battle scene genre

unique phoenix
#

Thats an RPG

fathom canopy
#

so like dragon quest and final fantasy

#

a dragotasy

unique phoenix
#

the formatting of the game having two screens is not something i'd say classifies as enough of a subgenre

#

its just A Common Feature/Format

lyric surge
#

then the RPG games that don't feature turn-based battles are something else

fathom canopy
#

Non-traditional RPG

#

NTRPG

Psst, if you are into remixing... watch out!

#

YouTube has been trigger happy lately, and worse, they've been making erroneous claims that some other remixer owns the rights to the music... Which sometimes can't be disputed!

toby fox: "oh man i sure do love composing music and i hope everyone likes it and i approve of people using it in their videos"

#

why does the gif go so fast it looked fine in the gif menu

rough frost
#

The music licensing company is also very notoriously stingy with the ost too

#

There was a big debacle about Undertale Yellow using the music that Toby had to step in himself and defuse the situation

they aren't entirely to blame for all of it this time but they definitely aren't helping in bit of cases still lmao
