Ramble about Spectrobes world building: Humanity's place in space.

It's kind of wild that this game had more to be discovered because I grew up and replayed it and was able to understand the premise more.

⏰️Spanish is my mother language so replaying it in English when I was older got me a little messed up with the existentialism, like how Nanairo is the birthplace of humanity yet the other solar systems you visit, the "children" of Nanairo, are abandoned or destroyed by krawl.

⭐️ The High Krawl also had some existential implications, they show us Krawl aren't mindless monsters or "demons" or whatever, they're just as alive as humans and Spectrobes, they even have more sapience than Spectrobes... It's all so bittersweet, because yes Rallen saved Nanairo, and Jeena recovered history, but we didn't get to deeply understand why Krawl do what they do, and the krawl war goes on and on, Jado doesn't die, Krux doesn't die... Etc etc space horror?

🌐 Btw my theory about the underlying message is that exploration for the sake of getting humanity's mark on everything, and colonizing other planets might as well end up biting us in the butt because of the pure audacity to assume "intelligent life" has to be sapient (and our especific cultural sapiece btw), we can easily destroy life because we want to rush into space.

🌪 Maybe Nanairo humans tried to be a type 3 civilization, krawl felt threatened by being displaced by humans, Spectrobes simply can buffer humans being killed by krawl because humans can bond and train animals- so Spectrobes aren't "angels" either, but it's scary to think Geos can destroy planets as well if a human just tells them to.

⏳️ There's some mythological and/or religious themes to Spectrobes too. They mention Fate, Krux talks about Kaio like it's god, some savior that comes around only when real bad shit will happen to humans... He, aspiring to be a savior as well? ends up on the opposite end, becoming more alike the creatures that were causing him desperation. Jeena frames this as Krux reaching for power and sacrificing his ideals and humanity in the process.

Felt like drawing all the high krawl. First up, Jado! His shadow creature was so much fun to create.
