The fans and the target audience do NOT match anymore.This is what happens when you take almost a decade to release a game.
even if whatever nonsense you said was real who cares
>>729348234Its cuz I haven't played it
>>729348234this kills the dessknightfag
>>729348701while i do think that noelle knight is something not enough people consider, i think dess makes more sense in the grand scheme noelle has enough going on with her angel parallels anyways
What a shit thread.
Its a tranny game, not an unc game
>>729348701Hey anon, is there some reason you're using the original cropped and edited concept art Toby posted in 2018 and not the "less edited" version he posted in 2024https://x.com/tobyfox/status/1939307524442017864Do you think perhaps Toby might have some interest in hiding information about the hidden character who might be the main villain of his next story?
I mean, Toby would never do that, right?
what the fuck is a UNC
UNC too is an anagram.
>>729350631If Noelle is the Knight, it may mean that she is under a TRANCE that forces her to do these things. And who is very controlling of Noelle? That's right, Carol. Carol is mind controlling her daughter. . . Hot.
what happened to "I will stop development if the game is not finished in 7 years"?
>Deltarune is a UNC game now.Fuck yeah! UNCbros where you at?
>>729350919Nothing, nobody said that
>>729348234Kill yourself, सhartynigger.
Jannies should word filter unc to (I'm a faggot) or just throw an automatic ban for trying to post it since it's always used for shitposting
>>729348234the retard took 10 years making this garbageif the game was completed i would not have done the weird route
>>729350721another brother named wd gaster AAAAAAAAAAA
Why didn't kris rip us out if he was so desperate to not let us equip the thorn ring on noelle.We were just flying around before then and noelle didn't seem to notice us.
Say it.
>>729352081he's too faggyi broke the tv
>>729348234The only reason I play it is because I like Noelle, she’s cute

Hope the next episode releases early in the year. Been really craving a good indie game since e33 released and Sulksong disappointed.
>>729348701>>729348861Give me hard confirmation on why it's literally IMPOSSIBLE for Dess to be...le human!
>>729348701The knight isn't even a holiday, people got so caught up in the horns they're unable to look at literally any of the other shit going on
>>729350721>>729351814https://undertale.tumblr.com/post/130552032545/important-info>besides, it's rude to talk about someone who's listening right? NOT EVERYONE IS AS TOUGH AS MY BROTHER.
>>729352614It isn't just the horns but the entire deer aesthetic.The problem that many people have is stupid but understandable, they simply have no explanation apart from the Knight being a Holiday for the antlers and deer characteristics. So they run with what they have even if it doesn't make sense because an irrational answer provides content and an admission of ignorance does not.
>>729352614>they're unable to look at literally any of the other shit going onsuch as the baseball bat sword, or the attacks that reference both asriel's attacks and earthbound/mother 3, or the weird affinity towards kris...?if we were to assume the knight isn't a holiday, the only one who could even theoretically be the knight without completely killing the story impact is asriel, and people have shit on the "what if asriel was... le dead" theory enough to tell you why he has to still be in cool leg.
>>729352610she's offhandedly mentioned by sans in undertale as being rudy's daughter and noelle's sister, which makes it impossible for her to have been a human due to the need for their souls in deltarune based on what we see of her in the flashback she has the antlers and ears of a reindeer monster, she also has shoes for hooves in her roomit also robs kris of being the only human in town and the isolation from that, if dess was another human it would take away from that, even if she'd died/ went missing
>>729348701Anon, do you really think that Toby has planned out everything we got so far since 2012?The shadow crystals weren't even a thing until chapter 2, and there's no way if there weren't any changes/additions made to the story between 2012 and chapter 1 release So far, Dess seems to the best candidate we got for the Roaring Knight>>729351367-100 izzat
>>729352614I am a firm believer in amalgam knight theory. >If the knight was a holiday, it would not be referred to as an it. An amalgam would.>Amalgams are shown to be able to shapeshift >They are created using determination, the substance that enables the creation of darkworlds.>It would explain why the knight is kept secret, Carol running unethical experiments and creating abominations like these would be a major cause for concern>The knight is animalistic while also clearly being sapient, traits amalgams have. >This would explain why the knight has different voices. A shrill scream, a Noelle like yelp, and a laugh that sounds like friend. Amalgams have weird voices. >Amalgams are really strong so it's no wonder why it was able to carry Undyne so easily.>The knight has an affinity towards Kris because it views them as a comrade in arms against Carol's oppressive hand. >A lightner being created and treated as an object (darkner) with no freedom or agency of its own is the perfect set up for an emotional ending. An ending with Susie forgiving the knight and allowing it to live with her in castle town.The knight is capturing people to take their powers. It is also opening dark fountains to empower the soul. Together, the empowered soul and empowered knight will go into the depths and find Dess.
>>729353030>>If the knight was a holiday, it would not be referred to as an it. An amalgam would.doesn't the knight start getting referred to as they/them in chapter 4?
>>729352947Idk if Toby will follow Undertale 1:1 like that, we'll seeShe could just be wearing a headband like Kris, but she's a bit old for that at that pointI just think it would be way more interesting if she was human
>>729353030So it's an amalgam of who else other than Dess?
>>729353068Yeah but it is mostly referred to as an it. >>729353089It's not an amalgam of Dess. It is an amalgam made for the sole purpose of finding Dess and will be discarded afterwards. Dess is in the depths and must be found.
>>729353138>it is mostly referred to as an it.i don't think they are. i can't be assed to go through the entire thing, but just skimming chapter 4's dialogue dump i've already found two instances of the knight being called by they/them instead of it.
>>729353138Now that I think of it, is the body of Snowdrake's mom actually accounted for? Don't they have horns too? And an affiliation with cold?
>>729352916The biggest problem with dess knight, despite what people like you presume, is that she absolutely would derail the fuck out of the story. It should be relatively clesr by now that the major direction of the plot is spamton/tenna/mike and forgotten man/friend/eram/gaster who are absolutely 100% going to be a massive part of the latter 3 chapters just by virtue of not having actually appropriately appeared yet in the story.
>>729353089It's gaster.
>>729353030>Papyrus was absorbed into the knight amalgam right before it showed up in Ch.3, so it took his formFUCK
>>729353324>the major direction of the plot is spamton/tenna/mike and forgotten man/friend/eram/gaster
>>729353527hot
>>729348701>development items for Undertale include "Asriel's Bat"It's just Asriel again. Dess is truly dead and gone, and Asriel is ubercoping because Dess is his Chara in this universe.
>>729353527That's literally 5 different heavily-teased characters who have had barely any screen time with only 3 chapters left including the finale shit. You're insane if toby's gonna dumpster it all to play family drama with december
>>729353598How do you think Asriel could physically be the Knight when it obviously looks nothing like him?
>>729352610because she is a she instead of a theythat's the biggest proof that she isn't a human
>>729353658And this is not even counting fucking ASRIEL who I forgot to addAIX HEAVILY TEASED BARELY USED CHARACTERS and you think dess
>>729353686>How do you think Flowey could physically be Asriel when he obviously looks nothing like him?
>>729353693This is actually an excellent point
(you)
>>729353718So do you think Asriel is dead and reformed as the Knight or do you not have an explanation?
How do dessknightfags reconcile there being a minigame literally called "batter" in french with friend in it literally using the knight's laugh files. Like there's the knight having a physical feature and then there's the game directly attaching a character to the knight moniker
>>729353658>5 different heavily-teased characters who have had barely any screen timelet's see, of those 5/6 characters we have>miniboss/secret boss who already had his time in the limelight (including a bonus fanservice scene)>main chapter boss who already had his time in the limelight (and has bonus scenes if you didn't give him to the gay ghost)>character who we know so little about toby had to make a whole new character to make fun of us for making insane schizo theories about>literal easter egg guy who might be relevant but probably only if you find all the eggs (optional)>genuine mystery nigga who is actually the most likely to be plot relevant even outside of optional shit>genuine mystery nigga who is a little less likely to be (directly) plot-relevant>the gay goat who is literally just somewhere fucking else at the moment
>>729353928Allegedly somewhere else.
>>729353928just realized i forgot eram>complete and total mystery nigga who might not even be an actual character and is just seam fucking with us or some shit like that
>>729353701ICE-E could also count as a "teased character we haven't seen physically appear yet", he's been touted as a Hometown Cryptid who may or may not be related to any major incidents and haunts the narrative (albeit in recurring joke format) in his own way.
>>729353928>he thinks the mike room is making fun of us and not revelling in the schizo crack.The entire point of the mike room is to go schizo connecting all the dots in it. It's chock full of weird plot-tease shit. It's not toby's fault little bitches get offended by a joke.
>>729348234unc games are good this ones for faggots
>>729352614>people got so caught up in the horns they're unable to look at literally any of the other shit going onThe Knight's antlers are the most distinct feature of their design, of course people are going to heavily focus on themWhat "other shit" should they be looking at instead?>>729352821>they simply have no explanation apart from the Knight being a Holiday for the antlers and deer characteristicsYeah? And? Why are you pretending that isn't a good enough reason?This is like accusing people of jumping to conclusions for assuming Asgore is connected to Toriel just because they're both goat monsters>So they run with what they have even if it doesn't make sense because an irrationalPlease, share your alternative more logical explanation for The Knight having reindeer antlers and "deer characteristics" that isn't "The Knight is a deer monster"
>>729354213>What "other shit" should they be looking at instead?Friend literally uses the knight's voice files
What were some major theories that turned out be true?t.played and finished the game for the first time this month
>>729354302carol's name is carolreverse undertale theory (maybe)freedom motif (discounting ch3)
>>729354302major in terms if being popular? none, closest was gerson appearing at some point and the church being a dark world90% of the post ch2 theories were just mass speculation with little to no evidence to back itself up
>>729354302Dark Worlds and Darkners are literally the objects in the Light World and not just based on them.
>>729354302Literally none which is the funniest part about people being so cocky about current theories.I was personally right about friend being a cat and gerson church dark world chapter 4
>>729354213>Please, share your alternative more logical explanation for The Knight having reindeer antlers and "deer characteristics" that isn't "The Knight is a deer monster"The knight is wearing a helmet
>>729354405people knew that since chapter 1 or even in chapter 2 when ralsei asks you to grab the objects from the room, except those that thought it was literally imagination land/shared dream/mass hallucination
>>729354509the helmet is its head though as you can literally see in the sprite, it can split it open and even open its ribcage, yet there is no body inside
>>729354513We knew it in Chapter 2. It was not at all confirmed in Chapter 1, it was a theory that was competing with multiple other theories for three years.
>>729354513Nah, it was only implied in Chapter 1. And knowing Toby's love of Earthbound inspirations, it COULD have been a Moonside scenario where Kris and Susie really were tripping all day in the other classroom.
>>729348234...deltarune is explicitly marketed as the game for people who have already played undertalethe fans being people who have already played undertale is not a "mismatch"
>>729348861>using hacks to give Noelle a weapon she can never get otherwise>using it as proof of your headcanon
>>729354552Trying to figure out who The Knight is based on physical features is a fool's errand anyway when they can literally transform into a bird. Does that mean Berdly's mom or dad is The Knight and is using a deer-like visage primarily to cover their identity? Have they had it out for the world for some reason ever since that Spelling Bee where Noelle only lost because the word that determined the winner was fucking "December", AFTER she vanished/died/etc.?
>>729354552This observation is the lynch pin that murders Holiday Knight.
>>729354650>>729354661I think it just means the knight isn't 100% a lightner character that exists in the light world in regular gameplay, but they are still a lightner since they can exist in the light world (maybe temporarly/only at night?)I still subscribe to the dess corpse theory
>>729354552The game literally has the line "the knight starts taking off its helmet"
>>729354302That there's a dark world inside the shelter (which was obvious)
>>729354643she's coded in the game to be able to use the jingle blade and the black shard, along with a myriad of other descriptive text about items she currently cannot access in game the only hacking is getting the items and noelle at the same time, all the interactions are 100% intended by toby
>>729348234>Deltarune is an UNC game now If I can find animatics made by 15y/o on Youtube it means it ain't an unc game, this is a fact of the internet.
>>729354741yeah in kris' imagination, because kris knows who the knight isor are you saying that jockinton was actually in a nest with soccer balls?
>>729354643If Toby didn't want this to mean something important, it wouldn't be in the game, period, just like how we wouldn't have the unused dialogue from Presumably Dess detailing her experience in the darkness after she got got by the incident.This is the same guy who made sure there was no associated data for players to spoil themselves on what the prophecy glass Susie punched said, he wouldn't just leave this equip compatibility for Noelle in here for no reason if it didn't mean something later that we can't yet determine definitively with our current resources.
>>729354782Most likely it just means Noelle is the real second hero. Or it's Dess, and Noelle is compatible with her weapons due to being her sister. There's no fucking way Noelle is the Knight.>tfw I'm wrong and you rape the Knight in the weird route
>>729354803Kris literally uses "think of ___" scenes to fucking magically spy on people.
>>729353030>If the knight was a holiday, it would not be referred to as an it.None of the people talking about The Knight know their identity. And The Knight is just as or more often referred to with "they."Queen and her minions call The Knight "it," but Susie, Ralsei and other characters who have met The Knight personally or otherwise treat them like a person use "they."The battle narration refers to The Knight as "it," but only when they're depersonalized as "the enemy" (eg. "The enemy suddenly let down its guard!") Gerson's comments are the most interesting. He asks Susie>* ... what do ya reckon that Knight fellow is, anyhoo...?Asking "what is The Knight" instead of "who is The Knight" is interesting, as it leads Susie to interrogate The Knight's nature rather than making assumptions. She rationally deduces that they must be a Lightner since she saw them in the Light World, and he follows up with>* Why do ya reckon they're doin' it?Leading her to question The Knight's motives, after establishing that they are, on some level, just another person with their own goals who can maybe be understood and reasoned withAnyway, I still think that The Knight is fundamentally Dess regardless of how she's been transfigured into The KnightI think the idea that they're literally like an amalgamate from Undertale has a pretty significant hitch in the fact that monster seem to be more corporeal in Deltarune. Monsters might still turn to dust when they die, but they seem to be flesh and blood (if applicable) while they're alive, which is why they can handle summoning the Determination necessary to make a Dark Fountain without melting.
>>729354643if toby didn't want people to see it he wouldn't have put it in game at all since thats a waste of development time and toby knows people will dig through the data
>>729348701I don't believe Dess is the knight because I believe she's the one speaking in those code diving bits, and both the content and tone contrast heavily with the way the knight acts. Unless it's some multiple personality shit (really hope not), it's not adding up for me.
>>729348234>UNCWhat do teens even have anymore if this is an unc game? Do they all just play Sonic and Mario?
>>729354902the knight is dess' corpse but her soul is still LOST in the code/dark depthsif you believe the kris' soul theory too then the knight acting that way is due to it having kris' original soul
>>729354572>for three years>3 years between chapter 1 and 2>3 years between chapter 3/4How did you guys even cope with that?
>>729354902>UNUSED is just Dess' diary or something>she found means to survive and became the KnightThere, eat your cake and have it too.
>>729354946Roblox. Literally only Roblox. Fortnite is just a millennial unc game now because they failed to keep up with what the kids are into (see: doing collabs that feature Italian Brainrot AI slop memes).
>>729354876while i don't back it 100%, it could explain why kris is so cagey about noelle, since he would know if that were the case (you) controlling the knight must be a terrifying thought for kris (and possibly ralsei if he knows), perhaps by making her stronger (you) can get to to reach her potential without being in the knight state
>>729354946Roblox.t.unc pushing 30s with 2 young teen sisters
>>729354962i genuinely forgot about deltarune in between 1 & 2but the wait between 2 and 3+4 was agony, the only saving grace was the sweepstakes, which were kino but happened after only a year
>>729354946Younger zoomers and gen alphas all got audience captured by roblox.Think of it like an entire internet owned by one company, they literally think Roblox is the internet.
>>729354962You either become a fan of the fandom or go into a sleeper cell hibernation state where you passively ingest a trickle of good Deltarune content for years.
>>729354984>>729355005>>729355048So they just play a game where all you do is buy microtransactions and get groomed, even though there's thousands of games out there without microtransactions or grooming. Sad.
>>729354962The wait between Chapter 1 and 2 wasn't really all that bad because none of us were actually expecting it to happen until he suddenly announced that "let's play Chapter 1 for some reason" stream and subsequently dropped Ch2 on us afterwards, originally Toby intended for Ch1 to be the sole release and then he'd eventually release the entire rest of the game as a paid product with seven years investment as his deadline.All of this was before he shifted gears and got a proper development team to make his ambitions more feasible, mind you, we were still looking at this as the same Toby who ragtagged his buddies together for Undertale.
>>729348701Hear, hear!
>>729355137it's not 'a' game, it's an entire walled garden ecosystem with lots of (stolen) content remade in their proprietary engine.
>>729354509>The knight is wearing a helmetThe basis for this is a scene in Kris's imagination where they immediately distract us from thinking about The Knight's true identity by imagining Jockington and Temmie fuckingEven assuming that the antlers are just part of their helmet, why? Why is the most distinct element of The Knight's design a pair of antlers on their helmet? Why would this not logically lead us to assume they're connected to the reindeer family?>>729354650>The Knight can shapeshift so their default appearance in their introduction and 95% of their screentime doesn't matter at allThis probably makes a lot of sense if you're a moron who's too autistic to understand how storytelling works>>729354880>* (You closed your eyes.)>* (The image of the Knight began to fade into your mind.)>* (The image changes... the helmet begins to come off.)>* (Suddenly, you tried extremely hard to picture Jockington.)>* (Jockington is in a nest, and the soccer balls are his eggs.)>* (Temmie shows up, and is mad that one of the soccer balls is...)>* (...)>* (You realized you could just open your eyes.)You're telling me that you believe that everything in this scene was literally happening, and that the SOUL went from spying on The Knight who just happened to be taking their helmet off at that moment for some reason to immediately flying out of the Dark World and spying on this complete nonsense with Jockington and Temmie in the Light WorldIn case you need a reminder, when Kris does this in the previous three Chapters (and later in this same Chapter) our perspective actually changes and the SOUL physically flies away from Kris to another location in the Dark World that we're "spying on," completely distracting us from what Kris is doing.That's not what's happening here, Kris literally just closed their eyes and imagined this shit and we stayed right there in their head with them the entire time.
Hi guys, I like Deltarune and its many anthropomorphic characters. I am 25 and employed. May i post in this thread?
>>729355307I prefer Kris-Dess Knight theory.
>>729355451Kris Soul theory is actually the only theory that is explicitly contradicted by the game. The Knight possesses a monster SOUL.
>>729354302>Church Dark World>Shelter Dark World>Asgore's Flower Shop Dark World (soon)>The mayor's name is Carol>The mayor is a bad guy>Kris is a bad guy>Ralsei knows about You and is hiding shit from You (but Ralsei is NOT a bad guy (probably))
>>729354643>Toby just wrote that and translated it and programmed it and published it in his game for no reason
>>729355334Nigger its fucking "the helmet begins to come off". It's the most straight forward shit in the world. If your theory requires the game itself to be wrong YOUR THEORY IS WRONG.
>>729355385>how it feels being heavily invested in Deltarune in your mid-late 20sHow do ya do, fellow kids?
>>729355525>>The mayor is a bad guyNot quite there yet to confirming or debunking this, but knowing Toby given how the immediate reception to Carol was "ERMAHGERD SHE'S HOMOPHOBIC. EVIL. EVIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIL" we're definitely going to be seeing some adjustments to put her in a sympathetic light that reminds everyone she's, at the end of the day, a grieving mother who's also about to lose her husband and has to come to terms with her remaining daughter's approaching adulthood, all factors that'll come together to remind her that while she controls Hometown, she has no control over her family, the one thing she holds nearest and dearest to her under that cold exterior.
>>729355565How do dessknighters explain noelle refusing to wear the knight's mantle when she clearly misses and loves dess enough to rummage through her room and give her guitar to susie just so she can "hear it again".
>>729355620Just need to find a special someone who shares this affliction with me..,
>>729355631Carol is obviously not evil, looking through the ancillary material you can clearly see 90% of her bitchiness is her trying to protect people from shit esp. Noelle. There's a fucking sweepstakes page implying somebody was trying to break into her house.
>>729354881This is the same game where everyone immediately knew Kris was non binary without them telling them anything. If the knight was meant to be Dess or someone else, there would be no reason not to use their actual pronouns. No other character gets treated like that so it's fair to assume the knight is not them. Even if we ignore literally every other character in both undertale and deltarune and assume the knight is special, how would the game even handle that? Would they just go from calling the knight an it/they to a she? That would be so strange. The Gerson bit could apply to amalgam knight as well. It's a being created for the purpose of one selfless goal not a malevolent monster. The dialogue could also be planting the narrative seeds for Susie redeeming the knight in the end of the game.The mechanics of amalgams are different in deltarune but the general idea of them being abominations stays true. It doesn't even need to be made from some other monster, it could be artificially synthesized and the story wouldn't be that much different for it.
>>729355740Yeah, but most fags don't like to read into context and instead follow in-the-moment gut feelings.
>>729355575The "helmet" is literally fused with The Knight's skull, as you can actually see with your own eyes in mandatory normal gameplay, instead of a black screen imagine spotThe Knight wearing a shapeshifting shadow magic helmet is not in any way proof that their antlers aren't real and any bullshit theory where you claim otherwise still has to explain why The Knight is doing its best December Holiday cosplay, because you can't bullshit your way out of The Knight having reindeer antlers and holding a baseball bat
>>729355695Go to the /vg/ thread lil nigga, that's where your people are
>>729355740the wet nose bandits also outright state they were planning on breaking in to the holiday house before someone (presumably asgore) scared them off
sexoooo
merry christmas notelle
>>729355793Have you considered in your faggoty ramblings that dark world forms are fantastical interpretations and that the knight is wearing a head covering in the real world that is obfuscating their identity?
>>729355872The only good thing about Dess Knight is that it has resulted in people drawing endless amount of hot Dess art and that's based.
>>729355853Tbh i think the knight was hanging around the mayor's house
>>729355385>>729355620>tfw 30Hopefully Toby finishes before I die of old age.
>>729355960
>>729355631I said "a bad guy" instead of "evil" for that reasonShe's still the ringleader of the conspiracy so she's at least as "bad" as Kris is>>729355651It's really hard to explain why Noelle has some unaccountable strong feeling about the Shadow Mantle, enough that she refuses to wear it, and specifically attributes this to feeling that it's meant "for someone... taller" There's very few people she could be talking about for this interaction makes any sense, and her older sister is one of them
>>729356005they describe what scared them off as something 'ruthless', which iirc is how asgore was sometimes described in undertale
>>729355872Desso sexoooo
>>729356002watch canon dess look ugly
>>729356156The fandom will just completely ignore canon, like what happens to Noelle's face most of the time.
>>729356096>her older sister is one of themNo it absolutely fucking is not. You're using circular logic to deduce thst dess is tall because the knight is tall, and that's not how it fucking works. The knight being somebody noelle not only KNOWS but dislikes to such a degree she won't even touch their shit should be a red flag that it's not fucking dess.
>>729356096Is her sister one of them? Isn't she near or past the same age that Dess was when she disappeared? How do we know she'd still be taller?>>729356156The only thing I think people get wrong about Dess is that she has black fur, not brown. She'll be safe.
>>729355695>Just need to find a special someoneHow do I tell you this...
>>729354302Weird route having romantic tones and forced marriage allegories, the thorn ring was revealed as a marriage ring in the Spamton sweepstakes and Noelle focus more on Kris in ch4Instead of you know ''Toriel will make crispy fish''
>>729355620chapter 1 came out when I was in college, I'm now over 30 and I am still WAITing for this damn game
>>729355761>This is the same game where everyone immediately knew Kris was non binary without them telling them anythingThey know that because literally every character in the game is someone who already knew Kris or were magically created by Kris or The Knight, who is Kris's associate>If the knight was meant to be Dess or someone else, there would be no reason not to use their actual pronounsHow about the very simple and obvious reason that The Knight's identity is a mystery, both to the audience and to the other characters in the game, so they're referred to ambiguously.If The Knight is a woman the story isn't going to just give that significant information away to you for no reason, and I must stress again that the characters talking about The Knight don't know who The Knight is and have no reason to assume that they're a woman. It doesn't make sense for Susie to arbitrarily refer to The Knight as "she" when she knows nothing about them. This is how pronouns work.
I feel like the intended way to experience the weird route is after you've completed through all 7 chapters regularly and then after an extremely bittersweet ending the weird route is you going nuclear to change the outcome no matter what.Anyone else feel the sameway?I think even something was lost when chapter 3 had hints on how to get the weird route, but everyone already figured it out and finished it, because there were 3 years between releases.I have no real basis for saying this it's all just vibes based.
>>729356454>Intended wayMaybe in Toby's head circa chapter 1 but since the game the game has clearly been designed to also be enjoyable for people playing simultaneously as chapters release.
>>729355973Toby Fox chose to depict The Knight as having reindeer antlers and wielding a baseball batYou can make up whatever fanfiction you want, but if you can't justify why these are the two defining features of Deltarune's main antagonist, your theory about them is worthless
>>729356095She's reminding me of Sybil here
>>729356451>They know that because literally every character in the game is someone who already knew Kris or were magically created by Kris or The Knight, who is Kris's associateCreating a dark fountain does not confer knowledge on the darkners within. Playing with them in the light world does as per Ramb's explanation but opening a dark world by itself doesn't. Neither of the darkners in Susie or the knight's fountains in the church recognized the heroes until their behavior mirrored what was expected of them from the prophecy. Having knowledge of a character's pronouns is just implicit knowledge Toby's characters know. >How about the very simple and obvious reason that The Knight's identity is a mystery, both to the audience and to the other characters in the game, so they're referred to ambiguously. By your own logic, Queen should have known the knight's pronouns but willingly choose to refer to them as an it for some reason.If The Knight is a woman the story isn't going to just give that significant information away to you for no reason, and I must stress again that the characters talking about The Knight don't know who The Knight is and have no reason to assume that they're a woman. It doesn't make sense for Susie to arbitrarily refer to The Knight as "she" when she knows nothing about them. This is how pronouns work.Toby has made nonbinary characters and characters that are referred to with it pronouns before. The knight may be a mystery but I doubt the game would pull a switch on us like that. Toby is sly but he doesn't rug pull like that cuz that's boarding on straight up lying to the audience about a character's identity. It's far more reasonable to take the candidate who's pronouns already work rather than trying to BS an excuse for a candidate who's pronouns are already clearly defined in game and directly conflict with the knight's identity.

>>729356234>>729356245>You're using circular logic to deduce thst dess is tall because the knight is tallDess is probably taller than Noelle because she's Noelle's older sister. The Knight is obviously warped, I don't believe Dess was 9 feet tall when she disappeared and Noelle doesn't know anything about The Knight, but it's very reasonable to assume Noelle would think of her as "someone taller," especially since she was a small child when Dess disappeared.In the one actual image of Dess that we have, she's at least as tall as Asriel.>dislikes to such a degree she won't even touch their shitYou are completely misreading a sentence that is five words long
>>729356878This is bullshit.The only way to properly conceptualize Dessriel is to know that Asriel could rape Dess at a moment's notice but never would, and Dess hates this and will never stop teasing him until he forces himself on her. That is how "best friend" relationships work.A woman would never, ever fall for a guy she could beat up.
>>729357012Alphys says that Carol nodiffs the Hometown police force, Noelle is god tier magician, and Noelle mentions "Holiday ninja style" is a thing (which Carol clearly uses). By every metric presented in the game, Dess would be able to beat up Azzy. Holiday women are built different.
>>729357012>t.
>>729348701>>729348861Noelle Knighter here. I noticed this earlier after playing through the game again after a friend gifted it to me on another platform as a joke.Prefacing this by saying I am aware that the cactus in chapter 3 is likely Kris', but I think it's extremely intentional that they're using the cactus to not only draw parallels to the thornring, but also to the secret scene in chapter 4 where the Knight blocks the way back. I can't look at this as a parallel to Dess, it's far too specific for Noelle. Combined with how Kris refuses to open the closet door in the church after the fountain is closed and how that parallels with Noelle hiding in the locker in the Spamton Sweepstakes short story, I can't help feeling more confident than ever. The more things I find the more sure I become. It would be nice if there were other people combing through the game for things like this so we could make a more solid case.
>>729357180If you seriously believe Carol could beat up even Toriel, let alone Asgore or Asriel, you are braintarded.
>>729357246That would be true in Undertale, but there's no indication boss monsters are a thing in Deltarune. There's zero reason to believe Toriel could even give Carol a run for her money. Asgore is more ambiguous since he was police chief.
>>729356842>The knight may be a mystery but I doubt the game would pull a switch on us like that. Toby is sly but he doesn't rug pull like that cuz that's boarding on straight up lying to the audience about a character's identity.Why are you pretending not to understand the concept of an unknown character being referred to with neuter pronounsIf Scooby-Doo is chasing a character in disguise, it is normal and appropriate for the story to not assume and thereby implicitly reveal anything about their identity, including their gender, until the culprit is unmasked or that information is otherwise revealed in the course of the story.Why are you pretending to be ignorant of this basic literary convention? Am I being trolled? What do you gain from this?
>>729357334I'm not going off of Undertale, just how they all talk about each other. Carol is extremely cold and intimidating, that's her whole thing. If she could beat up someone they would know it and talk like it, and they do. But nobody close to her talks like they would if she physically outmatched them, except maybe Rudy.
>Undertale-born troons killed themselves before seeing Deltarune finished
I just find it much easier to get invested in games with anthro characters than all humans. What causes this?
>>729357452A deserved fate
BIG DICK IS BACK IN TOWN
>>729354302Dead monster lightners being able to be ressurected as a darkner type thing if their dust imbued object is put in a dark world
>>729356454For sure knowing the ending the weird route will make more sense, but Toby also is telling people to find the meaning of the ''thank you'' scene in the ARG which means Toby does want people to experience both routes even before the game finishes
>>729355620I have a pretty good amount of money but I'm bored as hell, office job is sucking the soul out of my but I guess things can be way worse
>>729357371Toby doesn't have to play by the tropes of others. Subversion is his main gig. Besides, the knight isn't just referred to as a they/them but also as an it/its. The knight's personhood is being revoked. This has to mean more than it being simply for the purpose of avoiding exposing the knight's identity. This is something only the knight has and likely has big implications for the knight as a character being seen more as a means to an end rather than as a real person with their own thoughts and feelings. A lightner in body that's treated like a darkner. It would mesh well with Deltarune's themes of freedom and self discovery incredibly well.

>>729359675hussy, some could say.
>>729348701Because it make sense for Dess to make Kris join her in trying to save Noelle from prophecy. It doesn't make sense for Kris to secretly work with Noelle and pretend like nothing happened in chapter 2 just to fool SOUL
>>729348234Are there good/neutral/bad routes in this one as well? I really don't care to do a mercy run but chapter 2 seems to really want you doing exactly that judging by the intro.

>>729348701Are there any hints Noelle could be a knight other than the antlers and because her crush on Susie seem a bit off and red herring-like?

>>729359824You cant kill anyone yourself, they run away after battle. You can do "weird route" which isn't genocide but you convince your waifu to freeze enemies permanently and she starts obsessing over you instead of tomboy girl who is your second waifu and potential love interest
>>729359919she'd probably try mask her feelings about it as to not appear weakunless it's anal, everyone knows that kris is weak to anal

>>7293598901. Antlers2. Berdly hints she's still traumatised after Dess with the spelling bee contest and sje searches for "lost girl". It could be that she's that obsessed with Dess she dresses like her and make Susie want to dress like her. Searching for "santa girls" also hints over her obsession.3. It's possible for double red herring. Toby could use 10% of effort to make Carol look like Knight and put 90% effort to make Dess the most obvious twist villain by creating mysticism around her. The truth could be she's actually in a coma inside the shellter and not related to the story like Satoshi in Higurashi no Naku koro ni. Noelle could be the one working with someone like her dad or Asgore or be a knight herself.

>>729356454I agree, like you've said, those hints aren't as impactful to someone who's been playing since Chapter 1's release. Mind you I don't think they're completely pointless, but it's clear they'd be more impactful for someone who's playing the full game completely blind.
>>729362257Uooooohhhhh
>>729364663The weird route is very clearly written like the genocide route where the intended way to play it is after the main playthrough. Probably to subvert the "one ending" of the prophecy.
>>729361113>AIslop
>>729364473It's delusional folk coping that they don't find Noelle and Susie attractive so they come up with excuse why they don't want to play it
>>729359890literally the only way for noelle to be the knight is if she was brainwashed to basically act like a completely different character which is just dumb same goes for papyrus and asriel knight.
>>729365891I don't think it's that. I think it's just shartyfags or similar that want Deltarune to be a flop because they genuinely think it's a woke game or because of the fanbase.

>>729357534the thing about andrew cunningham is that when he tries to theorise he's fucking retardedhe was actually fucking retarded enough to say that we wouldn't control noelle in the weird route after chapter 2 because she'd be "wise to our shit"
>>729367126He's not even a theorist. Most of his theories amount to "I don't know" or "this means nothing" or just basic game analysis.
>>729356725>implying I can'tThe knight is the batter who dess sings about in raise up your batThe knight wears twin ribbons on its horns because the ribbons belonged to dess. That's why the game gives you the ribbons as ch. 3 rank rewardsThe knight and dess are emotionally/romantically linked characters who experienced a shared tragedy that ruined him and left her missing.
>>729367219So, Asriel?
>>729357623This. People forget that the knight is portrayed in ch. 2 as a being CONTROLLED AND COMPLETELY DEVOID OF FREEDOM .The "knight's hand" isn't even talking about the knight; it's the knight's HANDLER. A completely different person.

>>729371304Most people in this fanbase don't give tits to female characters. Even Toby. Most of them are flaties.
>>729365993Noelle does NOT need to be brainwashed. One of her defining characteristics is her habit of dissociating.She tends to dissociate from things she doesn't want to think about. When bad things happen to or around her, she begins to pretend they never happened at all. When she is coerced into doing things, she begins justifying them in her head instead of trying to disobey the suggestions given to her.It's possible that Friend is her shadow and is whispering in her ear and she's just doing with whatever it's telling her, but it doesn't even need to go that far. She goes along making fountains as an excuse to finally cut loose but after its over she just acts like it was all a game of pretend and nothing during the game mattered.It's exactly like what Eram says to Kris in the weird route. "A part of you is just enjoying this. The same part of you that enjoyed yesterday, knowing you could say it wasn't really you." I think that was Noelle projecting her own subconscious awareness onto Kris, which is why Eram is accompanied by Friend.It's a complete willful ignorance to her own actions giving her impunity to act however she wants to with the belief that she can be absolved of responsibility if something goes wrong. She can do whatever she really wants to do because she believes she can't really be doing anything harmful.That's what makes the weird route so dangerous. I assume that on the normal route you and the party will eventually snap her out of it, probably post-Roaring when things are so bad that she can't pretend anymore. But in the weird route, instead of dragging her back to reality, we're pushing her further into her fantasies and enabling her. By the end of the weird route there will probably be no way to bring her back.

>>729372451>doesn't include the really fucking uncomfortable clip of him on that weird red lip/heart chair very clearly flirting with the cameraman
>>729372340The ARG told us why. She enjoys the weird route. We're playing into her delusions so she just feels more emboldened to continue. We're not forcing her into anything and she isn't in some sad catatonic state after the chapter 4 weird route scene, they intentionally don't show her to us afterwards because giving the game away when there are still 3 chapters to release would be a bad move, but I doubt they can keep this up in chapter 5.

>>729372735the only way i can see mike being relevant is if it turns out he's FRIEND or somethingotherwise, as far as i know, the only thing to him is that he's meant to be "off screen tech guy who does shit for tenna that tenna doesn't actually know (but spamton does because he's kooky like that)"

>>729370582fucking artists I can't read your fucking scribble of a signature
>>729373104This is fucking retarded because no piece of personal equipment that was carried from the light world to the dark world has shown to grant abilities as powerful as the Knight's shapeshifting abilities. If it really is just an ordinary item that is granting it's user such powerful abilities, then Kris and Susie should take a fucking cardboard box and some duct tape and make some ridiculous cardboard armor with a paper that has "power armor" written on it taped to the armor, if they went inside a dark world wearing that it'll transform into an actual iron man like suit of armor and would render them basically invincible.
This kills the femkrisfag
I will believe in Suselle if Susie shows even 1/10 of concern and feelings she feels for Kris toward Noelle. She was also nice to Berdly at the end of chapter 2, Suselle is as deep.
>>729373652It's just going to get worse because they are going mental over Elon's edit image AIslop feature BTW.
>>729372698worth it
>>729373664NTA but I think the Knight's armor is Friend itself. That's why it can shapeshift, because that's just what shadows do.
>>729373734i got blocked on twitter by troons just by posting this without comment, they know Toby doesnt see Kris as anything than anime JRPG protag
>>729373664Your thoughts may be true but Kris is a conspirator in league with the Knight, why would he do anything different? And these Dark Worlds don't seem like something people can take time to prepare a whole itinerary before going into, despite the fact that we saw two people make them. There's no time to make a cardboard armor suit in the church. The first church Dark World and the Chapter 1 world was made before we could do anything about it.We still don't know what Kris' knife turns into. So...

Will you feel bad at picking the Weird Route if Susie use the 1 on 1 time with Noelle just to tell her that she has a crush on Kris?
>>729348701Asriel is the Knight. I will not elaborate.
>>729348701>>729357234So are you guys just so bored now you're going to stand behind absurd theories nobody took seriously when the new chapters were fresh?
>>729374229Kris drinking Dess dust allows him to remote control the Knight, just like the black deer in the sword route
>>729357234I'm starting to believe this. Not more than Dess because i think Toby isn't autistic enough for double red herring but i think 80% Dess and 20% Nelle is a fair assesment. At least more than giving any % to Carol or Rudy
>>729372284Who is this and why should I care?
>>729373664Honestly this is why I think the knight can't fully be a lightner that or papyrus since sans still has the space warp bullshit so who knows papyrus in deltarune might be able to shapeshift
>>729374540speedrunner youtuber with a few hundred thousand subs that took the role of a "community leader" of the game, non binary, early 20s, got ousted for being flirty and touchy with freshly turned 18 yo fans, nothing burger honestly but culture warriors have to act like he's satan
>>729374894Papyrus is The Warrior at ICE-E's Pizza.
>>729372593But then Noelle Knight makes the Weird Route pointless. There is no need to make Noelle "become stronger" in the first place, because independently of you PROCEEDing her or not she's already acting as the Knight with all of those abilities. Even if she's not the Knight out of her own volition, she is already being controlled by something. Why break what's already broken? The most it would do would to change what is her role to be played, but the part about becoming stronger becomes a moot point.
Something that all the shipping discussion has made me think about is that, if any romance is actually present in the game, it has to have a purpose besides just being fan service or just a side plot, it must be a device to move to story forwards. For example, it is possible that the game will feature a romance between Susie and Noelle, but why exactly would it do such a thing?Personally, I think it's simply a setup to create conflict later on. One theory that I think might be true is that the prophecy is trying to be changed, originally, the second hero was gonna be Noelle, with the Girl being Susie, and the whole plan of Carol, Kris, and who knows who else, is to switch them around, with Susie taking on the role of the second hero, and Noelle that of the Girl, and they are doing so because the second hero(and maybe the other heroes too to an extent) suffer an undesirable outcome at the end of the story, and, specifically, perhaps they even meet this undesirable outcome at the hands of the Girl. Now, if we assume this is true, Noelle and Susie's romance actually has some plot relevance, them being very close to each other will eventually cause conflict once the end approaches and Noelle realizes what fate is gonna befall Susie, and she will try to avoid this, which goes hand in hand with the efforts of Ralsei and Susie to change the outcome of the prophecy and reach a happier ending. I think if Noelle and Susie really are gonna be in a romance, it's going to be because it actually helps the plot, like in the situation I've described here.Continued in the next post.
Knight is the knight>Knight is definitely is a darkner. (Have close similarities with shadow guys and friend.)>Kris always carry him with himself and always appears in places with the Kris >His OST literally called "black knife".
>>729375060This would also explain the absence of this romance in the weird route, in the weird route Noelle becomes less interested in Susie, and also seemingly becomes "stronger", more susceptible to being commanded around, if we combine this with the fact that Noelle didn't really grow that close to Susie in this route, it means that Noelle can be ordered to carry out her role in the prophecy, so whatever fate Susie has to meet, she will either not interfere, or she'll have Susie meet it by her own hand.
>>729375024My point is that she is not being controlled. In the weird route we're pushing her farther than she would go on her own, but all we're really doing is destroying her inhibitions. Normal route will probably end with the Fun Gang saving her with the power of friendship or something, but in the weird route we're making that impossible by strengthening her delusions to a point where she will be unable to be saved.
>>729374323>just to tell her that she has a crush on Kris?No because i know that won't happen, Toby and his yurishit fetish is legit, just re-watch the closet scene, when Noelle tells Susie that her friendship with Kris was ''forced'', Susie just said ''yeah but what about me'' and in the weird route she laments she couldn't spend time with herI will be genuinely surprised Toby subverts it without Carol being the main causeI still will feel bad for her because her intentions to bring everyone to the festival is legit.
>>729375130>Knight is definitely is a darkner.the knight can exist in the light worldthe actual answer is the knight is in an inbetween state between light and dark (still believe in the dess corpse theory)also in chapter 4 the knight locks himself in the choir room of the church while kris is on the other room with the knife still, the biggest evidence against knife theory
>>729375130Also titan spawn too which makes me think that it could be a result of a titan spawn taking a lightner's soul since it couldn't make dark fountains other wise
>>729375130>Knight is the knightYeah that makes sense
>>729375236If the knight is dess' corpse then wouldn't it run out of determination?
>>729375312It's probably an Amalgam situation where there's too much determination and it's resulted in this fucked up form that can't truly die.
>>729375179I don't see the point when the Knight is already plenty capable and with murderous intent (against darkners, that is). The entire deal with her actions as the Knight and the Weird Route seem too disassociated for this to make much sense. Besides, there's at least two other characters, Kris and Dess, who have been linked to this sort of behavior and throwing a curve ball it was Noelle the main culprit all along feels unsatisfying.
>>729375427So you're saying that dess got her soul ripped out and then got injected with a shit ton of determination and that's how knights are born?
>>729375562it's possible but there is also the theory that the knight has kris' original soul, which would explain that too
>>729375502I don't see how it would be unsatisfying when one of the main themes of the game is freedom. Noelle has no agency in her own life, her sister vanished, her dad is dying and her mom is distant. Her only real friend, the person she cared about more than anyone, stopped talking to her for years. She would be more than fitting for a character like the Knight running around bringing fantasy to life, and if she can look for Dess while doing it then why not? It's not really a curveball, it's just not in your face about it. It would even be fitting for everyone to just assume it's Dess off rip because even that plays into Noelle's themes of freedom, because even when she's out there doing all this people still ignore her as a possibility.
>>729375917noelle being the knight runs into the same logistic issues with carol being it in chapter 4, I don't think it makes sensenor is noelle strong enough in light world to drag undyne across town
>>729376032The logistical argument is pointless. You can do the Tenna retrieval and the Castle Town visit after the mansion. The time in gameplay segments is malleable and open to interpretation.
>>729374139Sorry, I also don't remember the artist. All I know was that the art was uploaded in October 8th.
>>729375060>>729375135I believe Kriselle happening is actually the og prophecy, Ralsei tells Kris to not take Noelle to the festival, and the main reason Ralsei insisted on acting nice was to see if you could subvert the phophecy that wayThis would also explain why Kris grew distant with Noelle, he also wants to prevent it, and why Noelle in just one night after years of not hearing his real voice got interested in Kris again
>>729376145>it goes against my headcanon so it's pointlessok anon
>>729376226No it's pointless for the reason given. Don't blame me for your inability to think.
>>729348234I wonder where the underaged alpha fags will go after roblox? based on some studies they are much more based than zoomer faggots.
>>729375917You can write all of that without Noelle being the Knight. Making her the Knight all along just weakens the impact of your control on her in the Weird Route.Just picture this: If Noelle is the Knight, why do none of the Knight's actions, nor behavior, change when you're in the Weird Route? It's just not very convincing.
>>729376215Indeed, that makes quite a lot of sense, if the original prophecy was Kris adventuring in the dark world with Noelle, it makes sense that Kris would avoid her as much as possible, if he wants to change the outcome of the prophecy, it ties everything together fairly well.
Imagine if Susie stayed the same bully she was for her first 30 seconds in chapter 1 and just dragged you along as her toy
>>729372284what did this retard even do? from my understanding, the problem was that his girlfriend didn't know he was having sex with fans behind her back, but because she's asexual they agreed on a sort of one-way open relationship and he did just that? most of the testimonies say they feel bad for the girlfriend but didn't they both agree on the situation? there must be something i'm missing because this is the most retarded reason for cancellation.
>>729376145Throwing logistics out the window actually makes your argument weaker though, at that point Asriel with a suit of armor being the Knight holds as much weight as Noelle.>but Asriel is at collegedoesn't matter>where did he get the suit of armordoesn't matterThat's what you end up with.
>>729375060Suselle is a red herring
>>729376505Her girlfriend was asexual and he groped her without warning and joked about testing if she was really asexual
>>729375232There was nothing in that scene that would indicate suselle you sperg
>>729376479I was hoping that susie would slowly open up over the course of the game instead of getting chummy right away in chapter 2, as in not wanting her to just beat everyone up still but not be such a goofball all at onceand for ralsei to keep his hat on
>>729376032The main point is that Every Noelle scene we see in chapter 1-4 is her larping as cute yuri doe while she can transform using dark shards whenever she wants and she also visited Queen before she let herself get kidnapped
>>729376691Are you serious, anon?
>>729376435The Knight never speaks to us or gives amy indication of what they're thinking. The actions don't need to change drastically at this stage in the game since she was already being antagonistic. Playing along wouldn't necessarily cause her to change plans, just make her more eager.Let me ask you a question now. If Noelle is not the Knight, why are the contents of the dark worlds modeled exclusively after the imaginary worlds and characters she and Kris came up with? Why are things exclusively about Noelle, like the plugs that smile at you in chapter 2's shadow crystal quest, present if it's not Noelle making the fountains? Susie even showed us that when she made a fountain it was only loosely connected to the previous one because she didn't internalize the setting properly, so who else would actually have all of that memorized besides Noelle and Kris?>>729376560I am not throwing logistics out the window, I am saying that in THAT specific context because we are allowed to do several other activities before progressing the story that the time between leaving the mansion and arriving at the church is a malleable concept that can change based on interpretation. Even IF you go straight to the church afterwards the mere possibility makes it a reasonable thing to doubt.
>>729351367unc crashing out ong fr fr
>>729376878Anon, chapter 5 could have a long and gratuitous Noelle x Susie tongue kissing scene and the average Krusiefag would look you dead in the eye and say that they didn't get any Suselle vibes from it.

>>729376878Susie is interested in Kris you easily manipulated fool
>>729376984You are the one seeing suselle more than Nick Fuentes sees jews everywhere. The only thought inside Susie's head is the taste of apples.
>>729376984Yeah suselle is so fucking shit but it's what toby likes, at least he will still throw krusie moments>>729377413>>729377484i like your optimism
>>729376984I think this guy in particular is just trolling, someone who actually believe in Krusie would give you arguments for it, this is just shitposting.
Breaking Noelle...
What was the Guardian, guarding?
>>729376889At this stage of the game? She was already antagonistic since the beginning of the game according to your theory, so why bother? Noelle and the Knight's actions work in complete parallel to each other during the entirety of four chapters of the game. At best, this makes a very weak setup with little foreshadowing.>why are the contents of the dark worlds modeled exclusively after the imaginary worlds and characters she and Kris came up with?We already have the explanation of how dark worlds work. It's the darkners and the setting modelled after how the lighters interacted and their own mindspace as well. Things about Noelle exist in chapter 2 because: she's inside that dark world and interacted with elements in the light world that manifested and refer to her actions there, like the memory lane, Spamton, etc. We know that. So what? What's about chapters 1, or 4's setting, that are exclusively related to something only Noelle could know, and Kris doesn't, that could only justify it as Noelle (who is the Knight) made the fountain? Seam seems completely unrelated to Noelle, why was he there?
>>729377791the sanctuarytake it from him, if you dare...
>she loves christmas>Kris=Christhmmm
>>729377926I would convert into Christianity if only to eat a singular blonde pubic hair of Noelle's...
>>729377672How many chapters of Susie ignoring suselle, NPC being against Suselle, nobody in the game teasing Suselle and decisions not forcing suselle will convince you that Suselle is not build as the main romance intended by the story?
>there are people here who would genuinely have zero interest in this game if it had zero romance elements
>>729377989You are not even a Christian? Only Catholic Christians will go to heaven and meet girls like Noelle.
>>729376889NTA but I believe the girl Kris played with was Dess, not Noelle.
>>729378113Of course. If i wanted a generic Earthbound clone i would play HeartBound or YIIK. I coudn't even stomach Omori after 2 levels of boring depression slog.
>>729378315However many layers of irony you're on can't be healthy, anon.
>>729377851Okay, so why does the chapter 2 dark world have basically nothing specific to Berdly? The closest thing we get to a Berdly specific thing in chapter 2 is how Queen treats him but that's just her finding him annoying.If the worlds are affected by the people that enter them, why do chapter 1 and 3 have nothing modeled after Susie? She's right there, she's even present when the chapter 3 fountain is made and yet NOTHING about her affects the world. Why is chapter 4 still using the imaginary characters from Kris and Noelle's imagination, excluding Gerson? Hell Gerson being presented in the way he does makes perfect sense when you remember that his novel series inspired Dragon Blazers, Noelle's obsession. She probably idolized him.
>>729378315>These are the people telling you that Chapter 4 being more serious is badBet you niggas thought Waterfall was the worst part of Undertale too
>>729378113As people said in other threads, the game only caters to it's one gimmick even with the choice of attackingWe know the point is to not fight but the option for it to be there and it being boring shows how Toby didn't think that aspect of the game through
>>729378102>Susie ignoring suselleShow examples of this>NPC being against SuselleYou mean Carol? The one who's doing nefarious stuff behind everyone's back? That character being against Susie associating with Noelle is your proof of Suselle not happening?>nobody in the game teasing SuselleWhat about the ferris wheel scene, the chapter 4 scenes, and the lines of dialogues in the dark world where Susie thinks of Noelle completely unprompted>decisions not forcing suselle The ferris wheel scene still happens if you don't see it, the scenes in chapter 4 you can sort of rush through, cutting the dialogue, but that doesn't change much, Susie and Noelle still spend time together talking with each other, the scenes in the dark world I suppose if you just don't trigger them, for example, not examining the couch.
>>729378113Atleast 80% of anons here are playing it for the HMOFA potential. I am a bit sad for them, as it will not actually happen.
>h.ogg is a slowed version of hometown theme played on acoustic guitar, it also sounds like a farewell song>we will do something so horrific that the Light world theme changes just like Cyber City's did in Snowgrave>the ARG implies Noelle might actually be on board with what we're doingMany people think that we will "vesselize" her so she can't resist us, but the twist is that after she spends time with (You) and learns the truth about the prophecy and the ending, she will actually side with us of her own volition, that's why giving her the TwistedSword won't be a problem despite its Trance Down effect.If loop theory is correct, that explains why she would side with us, for Susie, this week has been the best days of her life, she's finally made friends and had fun adventures in the Dark World, but for Noelle, it's been nothing but a nightmare; her dad is dying and possibly WILL die soon, she finds out her sister is dead/trapped in darkness/turned into an abomination and her mom has gone crazy due to stress and paranoia of losing her only family left. If she were to find this week has been repeating over and over because of Susie, her shallow love for her would shatter completely, Noelle would resent Susie and she'd rightfully seek to stop the loop and finally end this suffering, even if she get used up and fail to get a happy ending, oblivion is better than letting your loved ones languish for all eternity.
>>729378404I play this game to have adventures with my girlfriend Susie like Crono had with Marle. I dont give a shit about lore shitters and blackpillers.
>>729378637Yeah and if you'd consider the game minus the romance potential "a generic earthbound clone" then you're saying it's still a generic earthbound clone with just a little potential for romance now. Which is observably wrong.
>>729378549You won anon, Suselle will come with big black dildo and fuck you in the middle of the night.
>>729378637I hope for your own sake you've actually pirated the game and not paid for it, I can't imagine the disappointment I would feel if the only thing I found interesting about the game was the imagined romance between Kris and Susie and I had to see that completely dispelled in the subsequent chapters.
>>729378113You could even make a serious argument and say that shipfags wouldn't even care about this game if you removed any hint of love trianglesNone of these retards want GOOD writing, they want the romance equivalent of MUHFUGGING HYPE FEATZ DOOD PLANET EXPLOSIONS WHOEJJWSDKJFWJD
>>729378758>no argumentA true classic.
Okay smart guys, If Kris is working with the Knight, and the Knight is Dess, then why he has a traumatic room related to the number 1225 that only Kris can enter and the song playing is called ''findher''Checkmate atheists!
>>729378806MUHFUGGING HYPE FEATZ DOOD PLANET EXPLOSIONS WHOEJJWSDKJFWJD would be much better than the current shipping bullshit we have going on right now though.
They're not the fun gang they're the fuck squad end of discussion
>>729378734If Susie and Noelle were replaced with Nelson and Millhouse, this game woudn't be even half as popular as it is now with cute anthro girls who show interest in your self insertion (even if loreshitters try to claim he's not your self insertion intended character because Toby is so deep and original in subverting expectations)
>>729378434I don't fucking know, because Berdly is not that important of a character so showing stuff about him wouldn't matter so much? There was stuff about him like a room for him in Queen's castle. You're the one trying to prove a point Noelle has to be the Knight. If she is, there has to be some hint of an exclusive element that could only be explained by her being the Knight, which isn't there. Nothing in these dark worlds is exclusive to Noelle without her appearing as herself and not the Knight. Kris and Noelle didn't have Gerson as a teacher, by the way. >his novel series inspired Dragon Blazers, Noelle's obsession. She probably idolized him.playing Call of Duty WWII doesn't make me a super nerd for all things WWII history. There's no in-game indication she was particularly fond of Gerson, which could be a great clue if she was actually the Knight.We're going in circles, the point I'm making is that your theory just lacks evidence, there's lots of 'Noelle could've done this' but still doesn't even make her like, the 3rd most likely candidate. Even these arguments would make for a better defense for freaking Asriel Knight, which I find almost as absurd.
>>729378637kindly go back to /co/ and bitch about lore there.
>>729378984And popularity, as we know, correlates directly to quality.
>>729378984>cute anthro girlsPeople here would really have you believe that Susie is some peak amazonian goddess when she's flat-chested, built like a fridge, and probably stinks like a crackhouse
>>729378614The weird route has romance as one of the focus thoughever
>>729378984it would be much better though.
If you people want a dating sim so fucking badly why don't you just make one
>>729378984>This character with an established backstory and many secrets that he refuses to reveal, who actually rips the representation of the player out of himself on screen, and then proceeds to perform several actions on his own, even to the detriment of the player? Yeah, he's actually a complete self-insert, basically a generic protagonist in a dating sim VN.I think your brain should be studied in a lab, I want to know what exactly is it that made you think like this.
>>729379035Berdly is in that library literally every single day. If the dark worlds are affected by the people in them and how they treat or how much they interact with the objects present, then why does Berdly get completely overshadowed by Noelle?The best explanation is that the person's intent and creative process is what determines the contents of a fountain, and ALL of the fountains focus on things about Kris and Noelle. I am presenting plenty of evidence, you just refuse to acknowledge it.
>>729378984>even if loreshitters try to claim he's not your self insertion intended characterthe scene where kris beats the shit out of you with a hockey stick produced cataclysmic seething
>>729379327There is only one fan game where you date a monster from undertale so far
>>729379279You're right, I must make a correction, Kris and Noelle HMOFA has a chance of happening, Krusie HMOFA is the one that's not gonna happen.
>>729361475gib fugs :-DDD
>>729379352>ALL of the fountains focus on things about Kris and Noelle.And when was it ever about JUST Noelle, when Noelle was out of the picture, in a way Kris couldn't know unless if was Noelle as the Knight who made it?
>>729379246Thats her main appeal. I don't think the west made a well made tomboy since maybe Annah from Planescape Torment. Not even Japanese tomboys can compare because Otaku don't really get tomboys beyond making them brown and good at sports. They don't understand they have to make them a combination of girl failure weeb like Tomoko Kuroki with masculine gender roles of a sport girl
>>729379462I haven't even brought up the "Starwalker is Noelle's house key" idea. I'd be willing to bet my life on that one.
>>729378619remember the secret newsletter message
>>729368521Based
Weird Route is 100% going to have Noelle kill Kris and there's going to be several weeks of assblast afterwards
>>729379348I dont give a fuck about your headcanons until Kris SAY with his OWN VOICE and reveal FACE that he is a hekkin NON BINARY like Shayy and he has enough of my business. Until then he stays my self insert and a vessel. Sorry bro
>>729374323To be fair she probably would have if Noelle didn’t accidentally beat her to that punch
My problem with Noelle being the knight is that, if we assume the knight was the one who made the initial chapter 4 dark fountain, then how did Gerson come back alive? For him to have done that the fountain should have been opened by someone who had lots of memories of him and remembered him very fondly, was Noelle old enough to form those memories of him? And if she did, how come she has never talked about it so far?
>>729378637Susie isn't your girlfriend because you aren't Kris.
>>729379387Its to represent that he blame himself, its the same as protag punching own mirror in the bathroom. Even Mantle video game calls on him acting like it wasn't him who enjoyed it.
did kris self-inserters want frisk to fuck undyne
>>729379923Yes.
Reminder Susie would hate you and kick your little soul heart thing for controlling Kris behind her back all this time
>>729379773IT SNEW!!!!
>>729379873She was obsessed with the game series based on his works. It's very common for nerds to get really deep into the inspirations for their favorite things, which could also be why Noelle is so interested in the church. She wouldn't have had to have him as a teacher, ehe could just as easily have interacted with him outside of school or even learned about him from Alvin. As for her not talking about it, we only really interact with Noelle in a big way in the chapter 2 dark world and at her house, and Gerson is dead so it could just not have come up.
>>729379783Anon-san, people are expecting a tragedy to happen in the weird route
>>729379923I still see some here on /v/ to this day. However, they paled in comparison to the female Frisk self-inserters wanting to fuck all the skeletons.
>>729379880Cope about it, troon
>>729379783It won't, it'll actually be Noelle killing Susie and Ralsei, and maybe even more people, and then Kris realizing he didn't want any of this to happen, leaving him traumatized forever.
>>729379923Anyone playing Undertale for the first time probably wanted to actually fuck Toriel and date her through the phone calls in the Ruin levels
susie still feels like a shill character, she's so aggressively perfect and lacking in any real challenges that she's the least interesting of the 4 main characters
>>729380130YWNBKD
>Toby "Krusie is the first thing in the script" Fox>Toby "Make sure to put a secret Krusie moment in chapter 3" Fox>Toby "Remove this fucking Suselle flirting animation" FoxYeah totally Suselle is happening guyz, also Carol is definetly a Knight because she had that dark katana in her room and on the walls!!!!
>>729379794That's very cool that you're completely ignoring everything Kris does in the weird route, with him getting Berdly to the hospital, and then talking to Noelle and telling her everything is going to be alright, all without your input, Noelle even mentioning in that it's been so long since she's heard his real voice. Really impressed, actual Jevil tier denial of reality.
>>729351013I'm a darkner born, I'm a darkner bred
>>729380289Susie has protagonist armor plotHer defects are that she is a brute and a hoboWhen the plot breaks her heart we will should see some character growth
>>729379783Does anyone expect the weird route to have a happy ending?
>>729380524Dont give a shit. I will erase him before chapter 7 ends and take over his body permanently. I was promised a vessel by Gaster and he will have to know his place and kiss the girl i told him to kiss.
>>729380043There's no indication in the game Noelle had any special fondness for Gerson. This is a much worse explanation than whoever opened the fountain had a far more clear and hinted bond with him.>[Susie]: Why'd you... Help me so much?>[Susie]: You didn't have to.>[Old Man]: You remind me a bit of someone I used to know.>[Susie]: ...Who?>[Old Man]: Just a character from that old story.>[Susie]: [...] ... anyway, which Dragon Blazers character am I?>[Old Man]: Gahahaha, right! You are... The dragon.I wonder which character keeps getting parallels drawn with Susie, who might have been old enough to have been Gerson's student...?
>>729380289She feels like female Naruto. She only lacks DATTEBAYO catchphrase after she tells the prophecy to screw itself
>>729380504I always wonder what's gonna happen to you people once Chapter 5 drops. Will you simply stay silent, seething quietly? Will you cry over and over about how Toby is such a cuck for leading people on with Krusie only to do a rugpull? Will you switch sides to Kriselle so that you can atleast have one potentially canon Kris ship? So many possibilities, I'm really looking forward to it.
>>729380783Nah bro it's absolutely Noelle, trust me bro, Dess actually makes too much sense, and as we all know, Toby hates his audience, so he'll always subvert any expectation they might have bro.
>>729367126>he was actually fucking retarded enough to say that we wouldn't control noelle in the weird route after chapter 2 because she'd be "wise to our shit"Yes, that's correct. Noelle being your mindbroken doeslave is fanfiction that still hasn't happened yet.A major part of Noelle's development in the Weird Route has been increasing her "boldness" and there's no telling how she's going to act in Chapter 5.>>729367202>He's not even a theorist. Most of his theories amount to "I don't know" or "this means nothing" or just basic game analysis.And that's a good thing!
>>729380717CoL-sama...
Gotta say, Toby has succefully managed to prevent the typical waifuwars (like Rei vs Asuka) when there are two main girls by putting a bigger threat, genius 100% intentional
>>729380803Chapter 5 need to have alternate scenes to Ferris date. If it's only Suselle then that's the moment i will admit Toby intends to cuck all Krusie and Kriselle shippers (except Weird route, but that only serves as showing how Kriselle is toxic in comparison to Suselle). But if it has Krusie moments, then its you who need to give up on pushing it for another 2 chapters of doomposting
>>729380783Gerson reminisces about Alvin too, but Alvin didn't make the fountain. Just because he mentions someone doesn't implicate them. He compares Susie to Dess because Susie is similar to Dess, that's all.>>729380901So spiteful for no reason.
>>729374139If you are still here, I finally found the source of the art, dude. Enjoy.https://x.com/kaimya1118/status/1975735513631150092
>>729379783>Weird Route is 100% going to have Noelle kill Kris and there's going to be several weeks of assblast afterwardsYou clearly have not seen much Kriselle fanart
>>729381128The point is there is in-game evidence that suggests Dess could have opened a fountain that made Gerson's darkner version manifest. There is no such evidence for Noelle. Who do you think is more likely?
Susie will be with character whome she trust to show>her tail>her apartment>her pastSo far Kris is winning bigly with the piano and dinner date while Noelle barely bonded over video game. Kris is definetly closer to Susie's heart.
>>729378614At this point I'm almost rooting for Suselle's epic victory, so all the HMOFA fags get assblasted for trying to twist the game into being your shitty dating simulator.
>>729381536>No you're enjoying it wrong!who hurt you?
>>729381536The only positive thing is that most schizos would vanish or bunker down in the fangame threads, but on the other hand Suselle SUCKS.
>>729381536You have no power over Toby's autistic love for JRPG adventures with romance mechanics
>>729348234wadwda
>>729381378They are both likely. The context clues we've been given work for both of them just as well. I've never said Dess Knight is impossible, but just being possible doesn't make it the most likely.
Why do people always self-insert as teenagers and never adult characters
>>729379794>Dinosaur kid looks happyThe ending Toby will never give us...
>>729377413>asks about the part of her dream where it's just her and noelle.>this is her being interested in krisYou're gonna have to explain this one to me chief
>>729381830Because you don't play as adult characters in japanese video games
>>729381667nta, Susie and Noelle are extra common love interestsDess and even as a joke Berdly do make the trope more unique, he is way into thatThe thing is for him to not chicken out when the time comes to actually compromise Kris into a relationship, as it might as well collide with the fact that we're manipulating kris into a better life he does not want
>>729381830Because when I was a teenager I atleast had the delusion that my life might not be complete shit.
>>729381830Because this game’s character still goes to school with lockers and bullies.
>>729381830>Self insertWhy are you empty? Enjoy the story for what is presentedName 3 games where you play as an adult character than can get into romance
>>729381763Some things are more likely than others and there is a clear one here.
>>729381667he loves yuri more than he loves hetero couplesno hetero couple is happy in utdr
>>729381868She only asks about it because she saw Noelle on a ferris wheel and thought she already stolen Kris from her, when she planned to go with Kris onto Ferris wheel when on the couch at the end of chapter 2
>>729381889The fact that Susie and Noelle would be the most basic ass, obvious Shonen ship there is out there and no one would contest this if Susie was a guy is enough proof people are just really in denial about it.
>>729381536Hey don't look at meLook at Toby for putting scenes like this
>>729381982For being a fag is weird that tobby does not write yaoi as a main focus, it is sprinkled here and there but that feels like for the sake to mark a checklist
>>729381649Self-inserters actively degrade the story and its themes, yes, you are enjoying it wrong.
>>729381982What about Catti's parents? Dog couple? Lamino Elnina?
>>729381830Because children are too young and adults are too old, while teenage teenagehood is when your life is an open book.
>>729348234this is why you don't give money to early access or "episodic" gamesfags have no incentive to actually finish and instead just spiral into scope creep and queer bullshit- t. product manager who has to tard wrangle people who don't understand the concept of due dates and urgency
>>729381982We are in luck! the fandom agrees both Krusie and Kriselle are also yuri
>>729381830I rarely self insert as characters. Does Hans from Fate count?
>>729382092The only men who like writing about gay men are actual homosexuals, which he's probably not
>>729382092Toby isn't actually gay, he likes yuri because he finds it hot.
>>729381961The entire premise of Dess Knight is predicated on Dess just reappearing as a freak despite being presumed dead for like ten years. That would mean someone else did something to her to not only retrieve her but also make her that way, and then you're just playing a second layer of whodunnit. It's much more logically sound to take Dess being gone at face value and work with the characters we DO have.
>>729380504>I'm looking through what I think is the oldest text document about DELTARUNE that I can findThis is actually interesting because the oldest draft of the script we have is from April 2012 and it's just random bullshit from proto-Chapter 1, and the oldest concept art of The Fun Gang that Toby's shared was from 2014/2015Toby's dream in 2011 was about "the ending to a game" so I wondered if it might have been something more abstract that Toby has been building up to and the characters didn't take shape until later, but maybe the dream was more clearly DELTARUNE from the start
>>729382121You don't have to self insert to enjoy and want a certain ending
>>729382060Yeah, people acting as if the game doesn't actually tease Krusie is why I mostly don't treat doomers seriously
>>729348234Deltarune is an autism bait game, it will forever bait a huge young crowd because of that. Same reason Sonic EXE is still so popular despite being older than half of /v/
I think it's funny that literally nobody remembers those barafag Royal Guard guys because there's no undercurrent of >MY WAIFU IS BEING STOLEN FROM ME!!!!111!1!! to remember them for
>>729382281Missing, not dead. No one has explicitly claimed in the game or in the out of game material like the webside ARGs that Dess is dead.
>>729382332that's just alphys being pervyits like rouxls thinking the fun gang is a throuple
>>729382456The operative word there is "presumed". That's how it works, once a person is missing long enough they are normally presumed to be dead.
>suselle is le epic true love end gamefalse
>>729382302The first paragraph almost feels like taken from a touhou game
>>729382449They are also just side characters that onlu show up for a single battle, while Undyne, Alphys and now Susie and Noelle are main characters
so can I make my own HMOFA game and get easy grifter money?
>>729382753Literally yes, there are already several examples of it.
>>729382753Despite everything /v/ is a minority.
>>729353263Crystal sure shares a lot of features with the Knight.
>>729382629It's almost like a game with fantastic elements has a narrative featuring a missing character, who haunts said narrative because it wants to play with the possibility of said character being alive.
>>729382753yeah, just be dedicated enough to actually complete a project
>>729379246I love susie regardless of what she looks like.Her personality won me over
>>729382753It actually needs to be aesthetically appealing too, but yes.
>>729382846whatever you say
>>729378505the people who complained about Chapter 3+4 genuinely strike me as the sort who glaze Chapter 2 the hardest just because it gives them the greatest fuel for shipfaggotry, the one part of the game that they pretend to like
>>729382930Mari is very explicitly dead, there's no mystery about that. Not the best comparison.
>>729382923only sort ofis not like deltarune's character sprites are good
>>729382930Reminds me of those two things Toby said.>Looks like someone is making a game very similar to my idea.and>I'll make the game I was planning to make, regardless of what anyone else says.That second one was said pretty recently and I doubt he would say something like that if people were right about Dess being alive.
I don't know why people think Dess being dead and Dess being the knight can't be truea t the same time.
>>729383010pic related>>729383071yes exactly
>>729383189I'm talking about what is presented within the games, not a wild theory that Toby is literally copying all of Omori.
>>729383141I mean, we literally have a example of a dead character coming back.
>>729381128>Alvin didn't make the fountain.We don't actually know that. The first Fountain in the Church's entryway is still inexplicably thin compared to every other we've seen, and this is the one that would have revived Gerson.Ralsei describes Gerson as a "Darkner patterned after the memory of a loved one" who could only appear in "very specific" circumstances, not even Castle Town's Grand Fountain could revive him. But if anyone's memory could, it would be his own son, remembering him as an author, a mentor, and a hero.If Alvin, as the town's priest who very well might be the one with the Delta Rune code to the Shelter, knows about Dark Worlds and how the Prophecy is unfolding, it would explain why he kept his father's remains in his desk. And it stands to reason that Alvin, being an old man who's deeply unsure of himself, would be lacking in Determination compared to the young Heroes and the Knight acting with conviction.Ralsei even offers this vague explanation when Susie notes that the Third Sanctuary is more similar to the first Dark World than her own.>* ... I suppose the original Dark World...>* Was formed PARTIALLY of the fountain inside there, too.>* So, it makes sense... it would be a similar world as before.>* ... just similar, huh.Ralsei suggests the First Sanctuary was influenced by the one that was definitely created by The Knight (again supporting the idea that the First fountain was weaker in some way). It doesn't really make sense for one to influence the other, and for them to only be "similar," if they were both made by the same person with the same state of mind. And why would The Knight need to make two fountains in the same location anyway?
>>729383141Many think the knight is Dess corpse in one way or anotherWhat changes is if dess's corpse is conscious, salvageable, functioning only thanks to kris or if it is something else
>>729383260>MC is a reclusive teen with clear guilt>Big sister figure is missing>Plot moves around this figurehmmmm...
People keep saying that Toby is a turbo yurinigger but is there any actual evidence of that besides Alphyne? I mean Alphys was originally written as a dude anyway. It's not like he specifically rewrote it to be yurislop, he just gave her eyelashes and changed her gender.
>>729383287No you see Deltarune discussion has reached a situation where all theories that seem most plausible because of actual in game evidence must be wrong because actually everything is a subversive red herring and this is why (mirabolant fringe theory) makes complete sense
>>729383308>Alvin Knighters are STILL trying to make him important. He's irrelevant. You lost.
>>729383462Toby likes girls kissing but he's actually into bisexual women, not lesbians
>>729383470Honestly, I think Toby should have made Carol a more obvious red herring.
>>72938346210th anniversary stream.
>>729383032Yeah but also because Noelle is the childhood friend gives her so many waifu points that even her long face look cute plus the way she acts (except when her intelligence is reduced to 0 when interacting with Susie obv)If you wanna make a hmofa game don't only just focus on the looks
>>729383032The sprites ARE good, Temmie is a good sprite artist. And Toby is decent enough at character design that the designs stick the landing when he's not doing the obligatory "make things ugly on purpose" thing that plagues angloid devs.
>>729383470Your seethe is pretty funny. We're all just having a civil discussion and yet you're going full on jaded teenager.
>>729383470This is why we will neer have a good thread again until ch 5 actually releases.
I've also come to realize that shiptards don't actually have any interesting in couples that are already established, they have some kind of autistic OCD where they have to smash together single characters exclusively like dolls
>>729383462Toby in general just increased the amount of shipping in DR, the 10 anniversary not only he said that >>729383529 but also confirmed monster x human relationships, which you could argue it applies to Kris too
>>729382937I heard people say that chapter 3 was tge worst of the bunch, but it ended up being my favorite chapter so far.https://youtu.be/ulaTvZ1gSL09Amte7Syv6qRwMrp
>>729383591In any form of love story reallyMany hate yuri manga precisely for being too blandPeople like their tension, angst, insecurity and worry, all filled with the hope that everything will go fine for the charactersof course for that, the author has to write a character the audience actually cares forSusie, Noelle and even Berdly have a lot of emotional stakes in the story
>>729383632The character design is good enough, the sprites are passable at most, they kinda manage convey the idea of the characters, it was only until ch3-4 that we got an actual improvement
>>729383480If he was irrelevant we wouldn't be talking about him>the plan was "church... tonight...">The Dark World is already made when we get there in the afternoon>it started raining, so choir practice was cancelled>Alvin was, presumably, at the church alone>The Knight acts early to take advantage of the opportunity>The Knight breaks into the church with the intent of kidnapping Alvin, for the same reason they kidnapped Undyne: he has one of the Shelter codes>There's some kind of struggle, explaining why the church is ransacked>Alvin opens the fountain in the entryway on his way out the door>The Knight is just standing around doing fuckall wasting our time for the entire Dark World because they've already accomplished their objectiveThis explains all of the evidence and questions we have here.
>>729383846the only problem I have with it is that I hate how you can't save mid-game during the actual Legend of Tenna sections, it makes the pacing feel a bit awkward
>>729383995hello based department
>>729384025Alvin being involved would be pretty interesting but I don't know how I would feel if there were several people making the fountains instead of just a select few. He could certainly use the focus but I think we'll be getting that in chapter 5 after he finds the letter from his dead dad inside the church that's been torn to shreds and ransacked.
>>729383967i hope Toby changes Carol just like he did with Noelle and her long ass teeth
>>729381667
