Game Theories Minus the MatPat: Episode 2; Miitopia
i dont think there's such thing as miitopia spoilers but in case there are, not the best idea to read this first. ill see you on other theory posts if you wantKeep readingso ive played miitopia for YEARS. obviously, you can tell by the name its a game for miis, where there's this evil dark lord who steals faces of other miis and uses them to bring monsters to life, making it up to you (the adventurer) to keep leveling up and getting stronger and better gear to defeat the monsters and save all of miitopia! honestly the idea of face thieving necromancy is horrifying yet hilarious, but we arent here to talk about how epic of a game it is, we're here to talk theories. a quite big part of the game is the food. theres a lot of different foods which bonus different stats and you feed your party at the inn these foods. the food normally is the pun atoned to the monster you killed for the meal, but the way this kind of food works is...weird, to say the least. some monsters dont drop anything but gold sometimes, and the cat character can steal food from the monsters as if they just hold onto it. also, some (while epic) dont even make sense with the monster you killed (i.e:youd get a sundae for killing a mole) to add to that, no food can actually be used in battle. the only ones you can are mp candies (restore lots of your mp) and hp bananas (restore your hp), and even those are limited to carrying 2 bananas, 1 candy every party member. it seems this food is in a different area then regular food. i didnt even think of this originally, but there's a chef, which cooks food. however, we arent told what the food is and never have the ability to "earn" it in our inventory. the chef makes it to either heal a party member (which increases their bond) or trick them into eating a spicy dish (which can cause them to get upset and even hate the character since it was "the last straw"). the magical part is there's no stove, they just use some sort of chef magic to cook i guess. 3 different paragraphs talking on how food in miitopia is fucking stupid and finally in this fourth one i get into the theory. i dont think the food ever comes from the monsters. i think our guilding voice, or the magic necklace you got at the beginning of the game, is in a way gaslighting us by making these and being like "oh the monsters turned to food, good job" as a way of making us not feel upset in a way about murdering a lot of monsters (post being a little bitch and wont let me add everything else on so gotta reblog, yay)
