I want to be excited about Vanny's potential return in a security breach 2 but I just do not like the design that much. It's literally just her mixed with MXES and it looks weird.

I want her fursuit back and it needs to be skintight (and flexible) like a Spider-Man costume.

I also am just not all that excited either because there's no way to bring her back and have it work. Oh, she wasn't fully cured from princess quest? Why make a big deal about it then in both the true ending to SB and in Ruin? It's boring and weak and just annoying that sock cotton cant fucking make up his fucking mind about what he wants to do with the story. And it can't be Cassie either because Cassie is a literal child, and for someone who wants to make sure the children aren't seen as bad I'm sure cockthorn wouldn't want to be a even bigger hypocrite and make Cassie the new Vanny. But then again the man's an idiot.

I've always wanted Vanny to come back, I should be jumping for joy about her coming back but everything we've experienced with this store post Security Breach has been absolute dog shit. (Idc what people say Mimic is not interesting and neither is Edwin. If a killer robot can be literally anything, I'm going to be questioning everything present to me as real or not real and that's already fucking annoying.) So I don't have high hopes for this new version of her because what happens if the dickhead flip flops his feelings again and decides to not use her potential AGAIN. I refuse to be that naive and gullible again. Fool me once? Shame on me. Fool me twice? I'm gonna murder you.

FNAF World 2 though? My god fuck yes it's all I've been asking for for the last 10 years YESSSSSS.

The og sh2 and the remake are both amazing and I love them both in completely different ways. I don't need or want them to be the same, they both have different vibes and I love them both. I love both James as separate beings too, I love how utterly pathetic remake James is and how the game makes you feel bad for him but I also love how unsettling og James is and how you're kinda always thinking something is up with him. Neither is better than the other they are perfect in their own ways. I'm sick of the negativity toward the remake I LIKE that it's different I didn't want a remastered version I wanted a new experience and I love it so much.

One of my favorite James' moments, or even my very favorite moment is his internal dialogue after getting out of the hospital!

It sums up so much of his pain and frustration...and it even hints at what he had done to Mary for what he seems to think she could/is doing to him right there because of what he did.

I finished Silent Hill 2, the original not the remake. I did not expect that when I said "yeah I feel bad for James Sunderland now, I hated him when I started to game", I'd have to explain myself when the game is like... Empathy: The Horror Game. Felt like I got mixed reactions saying that which was super surprising to me.

Like man idk I figured the whole point is to get a look into someone's grief after committing a horrific act. That is a nuanced topic it can't be seen in a black and white way

Unless maybe like I feel extra sympathy for James because I went through a very similar experience with terminal illness (minus the murder part ofc). So I'm just like ah. Yeah. I get it (to an extent). Yeah James should not have killed his wife, that is not a good thing to do. Yes it's also not great that he harbored resentment for his sick wife, but that's a nuanced topic and you can also see his perspective as to why he started to harbor resentment.

James' resentment is not what gave him the motivation to kill Mary. But it is what gave him the ability to commit the act. I would argue the catalyst was the fact Mary was in pain and wanted it to end, even though she was scared of death. James wanted to protect her, he didn't want to see her in pain. I don't think James actually hated Mary, despite what he says to her. We see that he does feel genuine guilt, hell, he's disgusted once he remembers that he even killed her in the first place.

Mary and James both suffered. I don't say that with the intention to downplay Mary's suffering. But I guess it might be harder to understand James' perspective if you haven't been in the shoes of someone who had to watch a loved one deteriorate due to illness. It is stressful, it is so painful to witness when you can't do anything about it. If a loved one has a wish it's... hard not to abide by it, especially if they're suffering. Does that make James killing her okay? No! Of course not! Murder is bad I shouldn't have to say that! The ethics behind James mercy-killing his terminally ill wife is an entirely different conversation though.

I had the same thoughts prior to playing the game, but I now have this big gripe with people claiming James is this very misogynistic wife killer when he's not. Like at all. I think some things might be purposefully misleading about the character designs. Cause yknow, yes the monsters have a... interesting design to them. But look at it in perspective of Silent Hill being a manifestation of someone's guilt. I would argue the monsters represent some kind of sexual repression... which if that's what James is seeing then he feels guilt over it. Right? Or if you're like me who had this preconceived idea that James isn't a great guy, the monsters can serve to further that idea up until the story starts to piece together. Though whether or not that's the intention, I couldn't say. I havent played Maria's story yet but yknow. Point stands. Take what she represents and look at it through the lens of someone experiencing guilt.

James is not a heartless man. Every interaction he has while in Silent Hill proves that.

Its important to remember we are looking into a very mentally ill persons mind. People have bad thoughts. James is no exception to that. We are looking at something that is painfully human.

My point is just, actually think about what you're seeing in this game. The human mind isn't something you can take at face value. Now of course everything I say is personal interpretation so this isn't really meant as like an objective take on the games story. Aside from what is explicitly confirmed

The beauty of James Sunderland's character design

James Sunderland's character design is beautiful done. I don’t mean in the way “oh my god, he’s hot”, but in the way his design is just perfect to gaining what I think is one of the major objectives of the game: the conflicting feelings at the end when you discover what James has done; you are divided between feeling outrage for the evil nature of the action in itself and the feeling of sympathy toward James, who was clearly driven to do such a horrible thing by the psychological torture that must be to watch someone you love so deeply slowing dying. When thinking about someone committing murder, it comes more naturally picturing someone big, imposing, or even someone small, but with crazy eyes, or someone who just pours anger with his posture, actions and words. I mean, you don’t usually think about someone like James. James is not a big guy. He has some delicate lineaments. The game often shows his eyes, always full of raw sadness. His voice is low and soft and he only raise it when fighting (and since he’s basically fighting his own demons, it’s like he’s screaming and getting angry with himself); he raises his voice a couple of times with Angela and Laura, but as soon as he does that, he regrets it and he lower it down again, asking for forgiveness. Mary describes him as someone who, on the outside, comes out a bit gruff, but inside he’s just a big softy. The game seems to imply he was always faithful to Mary and never actually strayed, even during her illness. Ironically, if he had done that, he would have probably found some release, and maybe he wouldn't have had a breakdown that ended with him killing his wife. But instead, he put his life on hold, because even if he ended up resenting Mary for it, even hated her, he still loved her so much that going on with his life when hers was ending was just unthinkable. In other word, for almost the entirety of the game, James is represented like a good man and a loving husband grieving his wife and desperately searching for her, in the hope that she could be alive. And then the player watches the tape and sees for the first time what really happened. The reality of what James has done clashes so hard against the portrait of the character that the game has built, resulting in those strong, conflicting feelings that the players end up having toward James, a character he has played, and, because of that, he identifies himself with him to some extent. So, in conclusion, whoever designed James Sunderland is a goddam genius.
