idontneedit idontneedit but also look at them side by side again

The only other cards in this set with that picture frame background are adamil, so basically doomed romance canon

It’s also possible the government obsessed with censorship enough to make a mecha spider messed with Violetta’s memories so she forgot who she used to be too

Can’t have the war machine be feeling humans emotions yknow

But if party members knew Violetta in last human settlement, it’s possible she’s just unrecognizable in the speechless machine

The sculpture changes for Violeta but not for Memory, hinting Violetta is a human but Memory is a mimic (like Mover, but way better at mimicry and getting people to trust her) which has fascinating implications

because Violetta is definitely a sentient human. She has emotions and wants and needs and a personality. She sneezes when she sniffs pollen. She likes it when Lilly puts flowers on her head.

She just can’t talk

In f451 everyone knew about and feared the dogs, as they were weapons of the government, so they should know about her

Maybe this is more of a GLaDOS type situation? The arachnidopter was a secret govt project and then they put Violetta’s soul in it

Especially if Genesis was carrying around Florian’s secret book

However there’s a few plot holes with this:

1) if Violetta is a book-destroying mechanical dog, then why didn’t any of the other party members (particularly Charles and Matthias) mention that Violetta came from there too?

Also has me wondering if Arachnidopter is a mixture of the mechanical dog from f451 + the fabrication machine from 9

And the reason Violetta turned violent wasn’t because her mind got corrupted by the wasteland, but because someone accidentally triggered a book-destroying program within her

I love all the details the devs put into COA8

It’s super interesting that they chose to mix the plots of 9 (2009) and Fahrenheit 451 as inspiration for it

I hope at the very least they let us have the original design on January 16th as scheduled, and then later add the “optimization” to the game. Don’t bother postponing its release

Let those who enjoyed the original have it in game for a bit before taking it away

Just to be clear, I’m with global on this one. I think the original Jörmungandr was beautifully designed and didn’t need any adjustments, AT MOST minor tweaks. This change is too dramatic and I hope Joker Studio chooses not go through with it

Granted, this could also be another jab at the fandom’s inability to move on

In the first, Pablo and Valerie are sitting while the ghosts move over the horizon
The second, January seems embarrassed to be recommended new clothes
Third, Dedan directly says “I hate new things” lol

Now suddenly over the last week he’s posted 3 new OFF arts, each talking about something new

New horizons
“New clothes”
“New things”

He hasn’t spoken at all about OFF since his 10 year anniversary stream in 2018, where he kinda implied he thinks his old game is cringey and wishes the fandom would move on to new things
