"When we return to the sight of the sword, it would seem, that somebody has reclaimed their weapon" Me - "Oh no, thieves has stolen the sword"

Funny how this all started with “They took our jobs!”

Definitely feels weird hearing myself but definitely enjoyed doing this

I’ve been going through some things that make it very hard to carry on - but listening to these videos, and getting lost in the stories, has given me some very necessary breaks from the struggle. I just wanted you to know that your content is very appreciated.

I subscribed a couple days ago when you were at 2.5K subs. You've already gained another ~500 or so. I can see this going a lot higher. Your story/lore videos are so clear and organized compared to others out there. I especially love how you go in chronological order, even if it means going back hundreds of years. Because of you I understand Soma, Senua, Metro games, Amnesia games, and Dishonored 1. Thank you and please continue.

Fun fact: hitting the ground if you’re already in the air resets your attack animation, so with that tech what you will.

I really wish that Bloostained would get a sequel sometime sooner than later.

Great lore video, I love castlevania and metroidvania games.

All bookshelf entries: bloodstained.forums.net/thread/5115 All in game dialogue: bloodstained.forums.net/thread/5116 Food for thought. Gremory was in control of Gebel and it takes teaming up with Zangetsu to outwit her plans. It's fun to think about how else Gremory has schemed and for how long to summon her master to Earth. Was the discovery of the white crystal slyly revealed by her to manipulate the Guild? Did she puppet the events that lead to the first summoning 10 years prior to RotN? When the event was thwarted by Alfred taking Miriam out of the equation, did she begin a backup plan? Were Dominique's parents lost by Gremory's many hands? Was her path to corruption part of Gremory's schemes? Once corrupted, I strongly believe a person's motives are no longer their own. Gebel shows this enough, but there is also unused dialogue that suggests the same for Miriam. The oath Miriam and Gebel make is to address this corruption of wills. Dominique didn't die, she was banished back to Hell when fused with Bael. Is she there awaiting rescue and redemption? Gebil's shard covered form did not shatter. Did Johannes move Gebil's crystal statue body from the castle? Was Zangetsu taken to another dimension with Gremory's hands pulling him to the world of Curse of the Moon? There is so much that can still be developed with this story and it's fun for me to talk about. We often do at the game's discord discord.gg/bloodstained

Just interacting to compel the KZfaq algorithm gods

I just found your channel and I'm so glad I did. Thank you for making these!

Hey, lore buds! Check the Community page for some channel/creator updates if interested (kzfaq.infocommunity )! There will be a small content drought for the rest of July that I cover there. I owe a big thanks for Viryl_TV for helping with footage for another game. To see his no-commentary lore run here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nrKnl9pjz72uqJc.html See ya'll real soon! -Tip

Please tell me that I'm not the only one whose brain consistently mentally transforms Zangetsu into Senketsu (from Kill la Kill).

A beautiful recounting of a great game.

Just finished bloodstained and needed a vid like this! Subscribed 🙂

Yet again, another wonderful lore filled video, keep it up!

Glad I found this video, my dad got showed me the game and then I decided to play it but after the underground castle part I had no idea what the lore of the story was going

Was always intimidated by Metroidvanias, never touched one until 2 years ago, grabbed this standalone title, made by the man who defined the genre, and had such a blast. Since then I've conquered Samus Returns, Fusion and Dread and working on Hollow Knight now with plans to grab Deedlit in Wonder Labyrinth in the near future.

You could do one of these on Quantum Break or Alan Wake! That could be cool!

Loved playing the game (multiple times) and that video was a great watch to reminisce it ! Ty :)

Thank you for this. Beat the game years ago but wanted to refresh myself on the lore. After going through it all it makes me wonder how they could continue the series. One thing is that since the Liber Logaeth was meant to summon angels then that could be something done. Since a lot of the story revolves around alchemy I can imagine it would continue that motif. Mainly that it could and should continue on forging the magnum opus and the philosopher's stone. They've represented two of the steps with the white crystal formed by humans as albedo and the red crystals formed by demons representing rubedo. With that context it makes sense why the white and the red stones are drawn to each other. Now we still need citrinitas and nigredo. Perhaps in a new game there's an invasion of angels using the Liber Logaeth and they have yellow crystals representing citrinitas. As each crystal comes from a different realm then nigredo would need to come from a different realm as well. Maybe some "void" realm or underworld of sorts.

Great video 👌. I will be looking forward to more lore here.

Yo how does a video of such high quality have so little engagement duuuude

I just found you but your videos are so entertaining. Will definitely keep watching

Just picked up this game AND subscribed to your channel. Great video....also showed ne a few game play tricks!

What an under rated game. I'm currently playing it again

Still CRIMINALLY underated

Not an intentional spoiler, but fun fact, the game doesn't register an "over abundance" of shards for purposes of changing the story (despite warning you that getting too many might be harmful to you) nor does it matter how many you get rid of. Really wish it had an effect on the story, but fun game with cool lore otherwise.

I enjoyed hearing about the lore, I played the game a few times, but some things are easy to miss when it's in books.

So alchemists almost doomed the world because they were angry at the machines TEKIN DER YOOOBS!

Wow Alfred had a hell of a life before Burce Wayne LOL =P

That's odd cuz when I was playing the game I gathered a bunch of crystals And Miriam never became corrupt.

Fantastic

That was told very well thank you

Excellent video

Excellent vid. Would love to see you play through classic mode at least.

Love your work! Feeding the Algorithmen god

Only 836 likes? This video is criminally underrated!

Food for the algorithm god

So the entire conflict happened because the Alchemists felt threatened by the potential of machines, but then the machines never become relevant again within the story, even though the Alchemists themselves ultimately failed to resolve the problems they created, with some even looking for a power beyond the human/divine spirit? Definitely a weird way to progress a story, although very interesting nontheless. Really enjoyed your presentation of it. Great job!

Was all that in the game? I played through it three or four times and I don't remember any of the industrial era bits.

0:34 Why does he sound like Gabriel from Ultrakill!?

I have no clue what this game is, I just like listening to you tell the story.

Nice

No no no the story of bloodstained is thicc thighs save lives. You do have a very interesting take on it though and this is a great video.

May the almighty KZfaq gods accept my humble sacrificial comment. Glory to the algorithm

COMMENTS FOR THE ALGORITHM GOD

Pls cover alan wake

CCP approves of your content

Where is the horse? Why is there a horse? I don't like the horse. The head is so wrong. It should not be there.

I heard people saying this game has a bad story, but I dont think so, I think these characters and word have plenty of potential.
