Scrambled thoughts about Krissociation Meta and Kris Knight Threory^2
These thoughts have been tumbling around in my mind like one of those pipinses' heads right before they're about to attack you. The end result so far? This unscripted post about it.
Especially after reading through the Kris Knight Theory^2 posts so far by @radicaldreemurrs, i really wanna play through ch.3&4 again. Hell, maybe a full-game-run! The implications that it, and Krissociation meta bring to so many scenes makes me want to go through it with that in mind. It really makes it all 'Richer', you know?
So, like, whenever kris needs to remove their soul to make a fountain, that's the knight fronting, right? The knight, pulling fountains from the earth? Someone who is able to do it, who can take the weight, the blame of making fountains like that.
I definitely gotta keep an eye out on any potential "Ralsei Fronting" moments, if there are any. Or any other Plural Shenanigans, now that we i have more experience with it myself.
Oh goodness i might need to make a document, or some sort of log to try and keep up what part of kris pop up when. (Who's the one that knows how to play piano?)
One thing i know i'll keep thinking about is the post-KnightFight Cutscene. I know it means Something. I know Susie being the one that can stand ten-toes-to-toe to the knight (both in the cutscene, and the way the game mechanically makes it easier if you make her be the one to focus on damaging the knight.) means Something. I know that Kris (and even Noelle for that reason) being able to use the Blackshard means Something.
What would this mean for the MANTLE minigame? Are you still playing as Kris(You)? (I mean, the soul's right there when the game scanlines the game in, so that's kinda likely???) Are you playing as Kris(Knight)? (Part of them that wants to get stronger, part that tenna says is the one that made the deal with him? (Although that part could be simple alter-blindness? {Is that even a real word???} )) Is it both, cofronting??? Kris(SWORD_HERO) and Kris(Holding the controller)??? Their roles swapped???
Maybe i gotta make a DUMB account and do an abbridged bloggingplaythrough... (Through, i'm bummed i can't save-edit my switch save-file to have the three-button attack mode on there. Would go so hard with my Sega Saturn Controller.)
