Steph 100% relied on peripheral vision to play those drums. I ain’t never seen someone fall in love this hard and I am all for it 😭.

I dont think they would've green lit this game if they couldn't come up with a way to make Chloe work. Their solution? I think they dedicated a chapter where Max enlist Chloe's help. If she's alive, you go to see her in person. If she's dead? You use your alternate timeline powers to visit a version of Chloe or rewind briefly to LIS 1 Chloe. The choice of if they were a couple or not will be asked in dialogue choices early on.

I think i know what is the theory, but i will let the time show what i'm thinking.

The "#2 Photo Proof" It's "Chios" not "Chloe" and actually makes sense... If you look at the big picture, not just this photo, you'll see a wall with photos and notes about locations... You can see "Milagros" which is a city in the Philippines. You can also see a photo of "Merida, Mexico" which is the capital of Yucatán state in Mexico. This photo makes sense it is "Chios" which is an island in Greece and we talking about locations. The second word looks like "Ooreooke" or "Oorsooke". Oorsooke looks like a native american word and could just be the dog's name, what doesn't make a lot of sense is that a dog in Greece has a native American word as his name (?) And if you put "Ooreooke" on Google it's detected as a word of some African language and it means "ears/eyes" and makes more sense than the other word.

They know what they're doing. I'm pretty sure we might have a presence of Chloe again. Also, it's interesting to analyze that Max is acting more like Chloe, yk traumatized. She probably understands much more about how Chloe felt for being alone, now Max is alone and heavily traumatized.

I hope there isn't much Chloe in the new game. It would be too much of a burden, I want to see a new story and new characters and not fan service for a character who already had 2 games.

The "both endings will be options" is a copout imo. It would have been far more interesting to pick one, and explore how in the other timeline the other came true. Then Max sees the long term consequences of both, and maybe tries to join them together somehow. She's trying to save Safi, and maybe she would try to save Chloe too. Just having it down to a choice to change dialogue will feel so underwhelming to the gravity of the events.

U should have more subs, love the videos style. Altho i am a lil scared for Ryan. 😂

What if Max has to stay away from Chloe in order to avoid another storm? That would also explain the change in her power

I *personally* can't imagine Chloe or Max separating from each other's side for very long at all. I don't think you are wrong for thinking its too much work for Deck Nine to develop more than a mostly linear/singular path, but narratively speaking, I genuinely cannot see Max and Chloe drifting apart as either friends OR partners. SO many times through the first game, Max constantly says she will never leave Chloe's side. Obviously like if you choose sacrifice Chloe, yes I guess technically she is "leaving" her side (but her memory lives on with Max) BUT if you choose sacrifice bay, I truly believe Max would honor those words with the exception that perhaps Max is temporarily working for this school and Chloe will join up with her later. I will that kind of scenario is probably my wishful thinking. In the end, my nervous for this game so I am trying to not get my hopes up too much but admittly it is so hard to not think about this game after 9 years of adoring this series LMAO.

Similar to Batman Arkham Knight’s Joker returning due to Batman’s hallucinations, Chloe could come back in a similar manner. This is if she is dead. I can also see something crazy happening in the story where Chloe somehow replaces Safi and interacts with Max in one of the chapters.

Chloe #2 Chihuahua Chloe gets reincarnated as one and is the mystery murder. Case solved

I've heard from a podcast where chloe's va (Ashly Burch) prefers the bay ending route. So i dont think she will return in double exposure, maybe rhianna devries could voice chloe if she ever appears in the new game. So much for my hopes to see chloe again after sacrificing the whole town, we can only prolly get a cameo scene 🤷‍♀️

As amazing as it would for them to make 2 different versions significantly different with the 2 endings it’s not likely as you said it would be expensive and deck nine also seems to be really putting their hopes in this one as their other major games they were working got cut. So I doubt they are gonna make it very different. Honestly since they are going the multiple timeline route they very easily could have a Chloe who was alive in either timeline. Or at the very least maybe she makes an appearance in later chapters. That said this game screams cash grab to me right now and it’s existence already seems disrespectful to the original game, but they could prove me wrong. The fact they are releasing the episodes early to preorders really rubs me the wrong way. I certainly won’t be buying it right away and will look for reviews and let’s play a to see if it seems worth my money.

The #2 could mean it’s the second shot, you know how a photographer might take multiple pictures of a similar but slightly different shot?

Has the video about the 12 endings for Mac Riley and Eleanor disappeared?

Thank you for acknowledging that her referring to Chloe as a high school sweetheart is her not wanting to discuss her past. I feel like people have been up in arms but that's exactly how I interpreted that choice myself.

You have feelings for a video game?

I didn't get this scene when I played 🥲 but at least I got a super flirty text exchange between Max and Victoria (spoiler alert: there was a selfie involved).

Okay... I'm still in the intro here... but about Gabes death... The reason you ( and pretty much everyone else ) doesn't see it coming is because... A) the no detonation call was made. B ) You, the player, is hyper focused on Ethan and getting him to safety. C ) you are even more nervous as you saw what happens to Alex when she gets overwhelmed by others emotions, so chosing to drop all your mental shields is DEFINATELY gonna have you on edge. D) you feel safe for a few seconds as Ethan is safe and Alex lays on the ground... your brain goes ' Thank God that's over!' Then the alarm blares... its too much too quickly and you can't process it. You can only watch in horror as it unfolds...

Have you read the comic that takes place on the Chloe alive timeline. Its so good but I'm worried that they wont continue any of that story into the Chloe alive version of this game.

I love watching your reaction to Steph and Alex talking about the Larp... its sooooo cute!

Note.... I have a plushie guinea pig that I named Shu-Shu because of Alex and her Shu-Shu.

Cool work! Keep it up!

actually i cleaned both the 3 things in the room and did the 2 plant spots, and i also did 2/3 strength choices (didn't walk away from Mac) and still i got the lovers. So the strength doesn't overwritte the lovers

15:16 bruh….

Chloe or no Chloe I'm gonna love this game because having max back is good enough for me, also my feeling is that Chloe not being in this game gives Decknine the ability to have another game for Chloe but that's just a thought I have.

That was so fun to watch I took time to see it because I didn't want it to end xDD I would honestly watch if you decide to make videos on the other routes !!

First, I want to thank Tina for making this video, ESPECIALLY the part about the dialogue choices with Safi. It makes sense that Max avoids discussing intimate details of her past before Caledon with someone she's just getting to know. Thanks for pointing that out. Regarding Chloe's role in the game, I have a theory about YOUR theory. As a beginner game designer, I believe it's impossible to have two different storylines, one with Chloe and one without, because that would mean creating two different games. This however doesn't mean Chloe will be reduced to a background character, visible only via texts or flashbacks. Instead, Chloe will likely join the main plot NO MATTER which ending is chosen. Decknine made it clear that the game is about closure for both players and Max. They said they want to show the connection between the two endings, which is why there are two timelines. I believe Chloe will be alive in at least one timeline and have a major role. decknine itself established The line "We are Max and Chloe. We're always together, even when we're not". I believe Decknine chose the two timelines to ensure Chloe has a major role regardless of the chosen ending. People who chose Bay>Bae don't necessarily hate Chloe, and Max is deeply devastated by either of those choices.so with all that said here's how i think they're going about this: Chloe won't appear in the first two episodes. This allows us to get to know the new characters, establish new relationships, and understand the new Max better. The 2 timelines will reflect the two endings of the first game, and your conversation with Safi will determine your main timeline. Chloe will physically return in episode 3 or 4 and is gonna stay and she will have a major role in the plot. In the Bae> Bay ending, Chloe's absence can be explained in two ways: 1. They are spending some time apart, which doesn't mean they've broken up (aligning with Tina's theory). 2. Chloe is busy with her own life and career. She’s evolved over the past 10 years and likely she won't be slacker following max everywhere she goes. Chloe will return with a significant role in the game, with changes mainly in dialogues and minor outcomes, not creating two entirely different games.

Considering there's alternative universes, my version will always be with Chloe and the continuation of that story in the comics.

You refusing to say your theory right after saying you had a theory about the story was exactly like what Safi said to Max and Moses on the extended gameplay lmao

Do you think will there be any other chatacters returning from LiS2 or True Colors??

this is probably just me clowning, but another thing i was reminded of while watching this was how, when the trailer for ep 4 of the original game came out, it had a lot of shots from the ep but they removed chloe from them. like max and chloe would both be in a shot in the game, but chloe was removed from that same shot for the trailer (to avoid the spoilers of which timeline max was in). SO, again, i’m probably clowning here, what if they are doing something like that here 👀

i feel like however they bring chloe in, it can’t be integral to the actual plot/mystery since she’d be dead for other players, so i think they could treat it like they did kate after ep 2 of the original game, where she can have little texts and mentions and even a not-plot-driving scene where she shows up

i cannot agree about that last part, about max and chloe's relationship. making them break up slash fall apart would completely alienate those who chose to both save and romance chloe. i know that photo in lis2 is old, but this is the last thing we had of max and chloe up until DE and nothing indicates that they would NOT stick together. choosing chloe is already a hard choice in itself, because it's one person over a whole town, so in the end if you can't even have her, what's the point? i'm not saying it won't happen, but i'd be extremely disappointed in D9 if it does. like, congrats, you saved the girl, but you can't have her though. i think personally that the choices you make during the conversation with safi will determine the romance availability (if you tell safi max is dating chloe, amanda is locked out). and that those choices (we WERE just friends / childhood sweethearts) presented are worded this way because she previously asked something related to arcadia bay. in this path, i believe this is in past tense *because* you chose the bay option previously. so in my mind, the convo will go 1- bay/bae? and then 2- romanced chloe or not?

Seeing Chloe show up in a dream or nightmare will be a disappointment. Need to see her alive and in person because I sacrificed Arcadia Bay.

In my humble opinion, I believe they will ask what choices you made in the first Life is Strange to tailor the story to those choices, So, if you romanced Chloe and saved her shes still around and will pop up in this story, If you romanced and sacrificed her Max will look longingly at Chloe's photo and maybe have inner turmoil romancing another character in this story, and perhaps if you didn't romance Chloe (why wouldn't you?) then maybe she visits Max at college/Max reminisces how good of friends they were back in the day

Could Chloe be the name of the dog? Max seems to title her polaroids with name, location (as seen with Chloe, Arcadia Bay) so perhaps this particular photo is of her pet? That or she titled it after who took the photo?

Spoilers below for LIS 1 Now it's been a little bit since I played through the ending of the first game, but if you choose the bay choice, don't you just rewind right back to the start of the game? In this version of events, Max leaves for Seattle, and never meets Chloe again after that. Chloe is shot dead by Nathan in the bathroom. Max has the memories of the first game, but on that she's alone. From everybody else's perspective, she and Chloe did not know each other at the time. They just used to be best friends as kids. I for sure don't keep photos of the best friends I had as a kid in my wallet, especially pictures from when they were 18 and we hadn't spoken for years. This is one way of saying I don't understand the timeline if you choose to let Chloe die, but am I just misremembering the ending of the first game or missing some other detail?

I got Kate🤣

What if its Ouroborus

I love your take on this. I've been reading reddit a lot and anything other than happy ever after with no trauma gets downvoted to oblivion so to see a mature opinion on this is very refreshing.

What's names new best friend 's max ?? She snoop wallet's max so she look the photos chloe, maybe she's jealous 🤷🏻‍♂️but this photos chloe maybe she's alive for life is strange 1 about decision max save chloe and the storm destroy arcadia bay Or save arcadia bay, chloe's dead because this Photos max want remember own best friend ❤ So I dunno she's alive or not Well, max have 2 Powers, one rewind and 2 Parallel world 😮😮 I have question, where the heck from the Powers?? Maybe the answers is lost records bloom & rage 4 girls 90's they are powers, maybe I have theories 🤷🏻‍♂️ So let's see this games life is strange double exposure because this many asnwers 😮😮😮

im worried it will be like this: Max will just get a phone call from her if you kept her alive. we wont be seeing a new character model for her because it would be too much work for a little tease, we didnt even get new artwork for the picture she had in her wallet it was just a render of her old model.

If Chloe comes back, who would voice her? Ashly Burch or Rhianna DeVries?

ty for another video <3 ive come to realize your a large comfort channel of mine on KZfaq lmao so its lovely and highly appreciated that you put so much effort into these videos for us!
