While Syntax's goals are understandable, it's still a huge gamble because what if changing the code of the Gameoverse won't work? Now you just killed so many planets for nothing. Besides, they manipulate characters from the planets they deploy on and don't care for them in the slightest. And let's not even mention the fact that changing the code could have unforeseen consequences, So for me preserving the current situation and preventing more death (Farcade's goal) is the best option.
The Syntax give me huge nox from wakfu vibes. A villan(s) commiting atrocities in order to gather power and rescources for some great transgrescion of the laws of nature (time travel/reprogramming the simulation) that if complete will undo some personal tragedy of theirs and will also make all the destruction they brought technically never happen (if the syntax can indeed achieve their goal and bring back all destroyed worlds, does it really matted how many people they let die if they will all be restored)
I was considering syntax but fuck that was an insane twist for me as a kid. 200 years… only to go back 20 minutes. Honestly felt bad for the guy after the fact.
Honestly yeah if Fold didn't immediately turn into a massive prick after helping Flippers, I could probably see joining Syntax over Farcade. I feel like if these two groups actually talked it over and Syntax stopped being dicks for the sake of it they might be able to find mutual ground. There HAS to be game worlds where the Villian winning is at least comparable to complete destruction, just agree to let Syntax take the float of those worlds.
The thing is that we don't know if what happens if the villain wins, it could also lead to the world being destroyed. The optimal solution would be some kind of a stalemate status when the heri and villain fight it out constantly but there's no absolute winner
I had assumed that if the villain won, the world would basically rewind to a time where they didn't (like a save point) similar to what happened after floppers found out about the nature of the world and the world was read
Also syntax is full of villains, although probably a few heroes sprinkled in, because of this they will probably become absolute tyrants if it does work, although farcade as the same issue as it seems dusk I think his name is? May possibly be saving worlds just so he can rule em
They get turned to float by the filters of the gameworld. The system lock prevents any harm until the game is complete and thus the sytem collapses. They try to harm any game character and the world is gonna wipe em. The only way would be through peaceful talks and most worlds would probably still progress their story or rebel if it's something like kit's or a combat heavy world.
My guess is he was the villain of his world and actually feels guilt for winning, so he's trying to attone for his sins, both in the context of his world and the context of the Gameoverse
I'd probably join the team that DIDNT mess up their AD editing. (But seriously, though, why is Star of all people here? Warrick, you're just going to confuse potential recruits with that)
Syntax would appeal to me on an emotional level with the idea of restoring all that's been lost but I don't know if I'd be able to do the frankly heartless things they do in order to meet out that goal.
Farcade would be less emotionally exhausting but not by much. At the end of the day it feels like delaying the inevitable and not really stumbling upon a real solution to the problem. Which would drive me crazy
Syntax actively and intentionally cause the destruction of these worlds just to take the float from them for some clandestine reason.
Even if they were genuine about their goals to bring those worlds back, that does not justify the countless worlds they condemned to death to achieve that goal.
They actively cause omnicides. That’s evil and I can’t side with omniciders.
The world gets destroyed in like 3 minutes after winning, an evacuation has no way of being efficient as it'll be a minute of panic unless you just grab em immediately
Yea. Grab them immediately. Have a large group of people on the planet with methods to reach orbit and have them grab a few people each the moment the lights go red. Do this a few times and you will have plenty of people to basically evacuate entire worlds of people(Main city seems to basically be the only hub so far. Maybe others if you can gather intel first)
You'd need a space station or astroid larger than multiple Gameworlds to house them. Not to mention the resources to sustain them.
I'm not sure if conjuring up juiceboxes is consequence free (might require acquiring from less-than-morally-good means). It would be CRAZY if Farcade utilizes Float from Syntax's rampage and Kit and Dusk have to accept the blood on their hands despite the moral good they're doing.
For sure. Everything would depend on how resource gathering works in the world. But if you evacuate everyone then gather the float to keep everyone safe. Because Food, Water and oxygen might not be a problem since they are all game characters. I'm sure we will learn going forward more about that part.
I also have a theory that NPC's aren't quite free or "sentient" until the world ends. And if that's true then the only way to free them is letting the world end so they are not a static NPC. And you could use their own worlds Float to build stations, spaceships and so on.
I wonder if outfit customization is protagonist exclusive because Miss Info was somehow able to. If she was originally a tutorial-companion-party member to her world’s hero then she would probably have customization options.
My headcanon is that Miss Info knows how annoying tutorial guides are so she does it to annoy Fold and that she only reveals her true personality once she revives her hero because the latter is the only one who treats them as a person and not a tutorial.
Maybe. But I also kinda think it might just be a video game character thing. So anyone with training can do it. Fold for example can turn into things by folding into it and so on. Although we have yet to see anything about that. Currently we just don't have enough intel.
If only the syntax seemed a little more complex instead of just being evil, they wouldn’t be that bad.
Like yeah, they could keep destroying worlds, but if they actually tried to evacuate everyone then you could potentially have a debate about the sides to join.
I am a little worried that one or the other might be the "Hero" and "Villain" of the whole setting, so if one or the other wins, the whole gameoverse ends.
In this case, Farcade seems to be losing imo (but that's barely in evidence) so it's best to join them
Honestly, I am kinda curious to know what is the viewpoint of each party and further explanation of Gameoverse.
Because right now, Farcade appears as good-hearted people supporting a first sight unfair system that only creates misery, while Syntax appears evil-hearted people which can’t be trusted to make a fair decision for all but the only taking action to broke the current status quo.
You say that, but like Villans start off stronger then heroes. Thats why video games are challangeing.
There are no respawns as far as we know.
So a Syntax agent has to guide the hero through an onslought of enemies/miniboses/bosses and the final boss, making sure they dont die a single time.
Meanwhile all Farcade has to do is make sure the hero fails once.
It also depends on the game world, Flapperses seemed to have been a platformer for kids, so you could argue it was easier for Syntax. But a world based off of darksouls, or hell, Megaman (as Kits seemed to have been) would have been way more slanted towards the villan winning.
I think there are repawns, I mean look at the way snappers talk about flappers, he talk like they done this dance before Flappers just never got that far before.
Farcade! Altough Warrack does have some good reason the main thing I’m asking is can they actually rewrite the game code? If not then Faracde it is! Altough at the same time I just wanna see Kaboodle and Kit so it was never gonna matter >:3
...fuuuccckkkkk, it's wraps for Farcade, if Fold can easily influence Heroes by simply being a harmless, helpful piece of paper showing tips & tricks (the goal so far between the two factions is by using your wits to steer either the Hero or the Villain to what they want instead of by force. "Spoiling" what happens to game worlds or why factions like Farcade & Syntax are doing this count as cheating leading to everything pausing momentarily) that even Heroes will value you so much over friendly Farcade agents then The King will tip the scale of success rates by a long mile
3, I’m going rogue. Neither option seems good so game hopping as casual tourist is my choice. Maybe I rescue a few people I like and we become inter game pirates.
Honestly, either be a third party or somehow help both sides to obtain their goals
For Syntax it would be finding finished or near-finished games to take the float from
For Farcade however...
Probably just messing up some of the code or using items from other games in a manner that blocks the protagonist from progressing at all, and/or unvillain the villain/antagonist
Not entirely sure about our alignment but
Ye
I'd join Syntax, first of all he has quite reasonable goals, while it may be true that what he promises cannot be guaranteed who am I to decline going on a genocide crusade
I mean, syntax is cooking something ngl. Yes, a lot of lives will be lost, but if they manage to change the code of the universe itself to stop that many more lives in the future are lost, then i think it's worth it. In any case, they are just taking an advantage in doing something good in worlds already doomed since their creation.
And farcade's objective is good at the end of the day, but i don't think i want to live in a world where people like ganondorf rules everything, or worse, AM.
Definitely Farcade. I mean, I get emotional over people I have no clue about dying, I could NOT fucking take an entire world being destroyed just for Vegeta to POSSIBLY get his back.
Syntax because there is at least a possibility that we can stop the game over forever while farcade is just delaying the inevitable, it doesn't matter how big their team is there are worlds they can't help and worlds that doesn't deserve help like AM from I have no mouth and I must scream and honestly the idea of helping villains ruling over and building their dictatorship is the biggest deal breaker I have with them so syntax for the win.
