I honestly didn't fully understand what this game was trying to tell me at first. I went into it thinking the whole thing was basically post-apocalyptic Japan and there is some kind of Infection Going On, and the Protagonist is Immune to It.
Then came the First Cutscene with Shidou, and the Screen went black and the Game tells us about Blight and that Emma is not only Immune to it, but She can Absorb the Blight of Nushis she kills. Okay... Great Going... Humanity's Last Hope has got Some Secrets
But then the story started getting complicated.. Shambhala. Consciousness. Synthetic bodies. The Beast. Nanotechnology. Not revealed at once, but in Stages. And I started Getting Confused. Wait... Whaaat?
And as Brad's dead, and his Recordings connect a major piece, suddenly "reincarnation" started feeling less like a traditional spiritual concept and more like humanity trying to transfer consciousness between bodies, with the help of an AI and Nanobots, that has supposedly gone Rogue and become the Beast.
After that, I it was so much information Overload that I Gave up on Understanding the Story... Emma is Supposedly a Vessel, for the Elder Humans, who can not tolerate Blight, and that's why they developed her synthetic body, which has finished off enough Nushis, and now its ready to become the Host of the Elder..... Okay
Then what's the Oracle herself doing inside Emma's Body? If the Elder takes on Emma as a host, what happens to Violet? On the Other Hand, Beast of Reincarnation is also waiting for the Perfect Vessel. What happens when Emma Beats the Final Boss? What does Koo Carry to that Underground Medical Pod - Was it Emma's Spirit? Or Was it Violet's Spirit? Or Was it Nanobots?
My Brain is totally Fried. Felt more complicated than Inception!!!
Did anyone else get this feeling while playing? Or am I completely overthinking it?
