This scene right here is genuinely what I think Toby is hinting the rest of the Weird Route will be like.

The fate is the same for both the weird and normal route, it was ALWAYS going to be the same. So what’s the point of doing anything if we’re just being led to a tragic ending anyways? But remember, that’s the supposed “appeal” of the weird route, many have theorized that the weird route might actually prevent the roaring because it’s all about “bending this worlds rules” including the prophecy. The problem with that line of thinking is that, thematically, it defeats its whole purpose as a contrast to how you choose to act in the normal route.

When you genuinely cared for these characters, listened to them, sat with their pain instead of skipping past it, that ending, despite it being tragic, carries weight you can actually feel. Because you earned it. You showed up for people who needed you, even knowing it wouldn’t change anything.
The weird route isn’t a smarter playthrough. It’s just a lonelier one. You used people. You cut corners. You kept yourself emotionally at arm’s length so nothing could touch you, and nothing did. You reach the same ending completely hollow.

What you chose along the way isn’t remembered by the story. It’s remembered by you. And you’ll feel the difference the second that ending screen hits.
The game was never asking can you change what happens. It was asking who are you when you can’t.

>>737025631
I agree with this, snowgrave’s conflict of Player vs. Vessel is a lot more interesting, and I think it’s also a lot more faithful to the themes of the game than the normal route

>>737026648
Yes, our choices DO matter, they really do! Your choice to abuse and rape the ever-loving shit of Noelle is clearly having an impact on the story, Susie's and Ralsei's arc don't seem as complete, the ending of Chapter 4 is different for the Weird Route, and the conflict between the Player and the Kris is turned up to 11 because now the Player is acting like a genuine obstacle to Kris's plans rather than just his tool.
But then, making different choices don't necessarily mean having the same outcome, and I think that's the theme Toby Fox is going for here.

Deltarune actually reminds me of the tale of Oedipus Rex, a Greek classic considered one of the best, most rich stories to ever grace humanity. Oedipus is destined by fate to kill his father and marry his mother, and in the act of trying to avoid fate he ends up fulfilling it, but not because he was "compelled to" by external forces but because that's what his FREE WILL was genuinely doing, everything Oedipus does in the tale is by his own free will, even with his fate being sealed by a prophecy.

Now DELTARUNE borrows from that in the sense that YES the fate is immutable, it's written in the stained-glass of the church and there is no denying this prophecy is absolutely correct, whatever Susie saw on the last act of Chapter 4 IS what is going to happen, but that moment, when it finally does come, is gonna have a very different context depending on what you, the player, by your own free will, decided to do.
Did you decide to cherish and love these characters, or did you decide to treat them as pawns to avoid fate? Because in either of those, the ending will still be the same, but the consequences of your actions will not, and I can see the normal ending of Chapter 4 being the Fun Gang in a loving embrace being glad that, although they ultimately lost, they wouldn't have it any other way (Or, at least, something that is comparable in tone). While the other ending being... well the complete opposite.

Exclusive scene in chapter 4's weird route. The idea is that Kris's will is absolutely determined to not let Susie know what is going on between Kris, the Player, and Noelle.

Normal ending is a loop where you return to chapter 1. Weird route is an actual conclusive end.
>>
>>737027374
The ending will be the same regardless of route, everyone is gonna roll their eyes but the real lesson of the game is that although you cannot change fate, you can always love those near you

I really wanna know if the aborted weird route is going to be its own thing
Like having Noelle being interested Kris without forcing her to wear the thorn ring
Childhood human/anthro relationships hits me right in the feel
>>
>>737027514
Because it's quite literally what is happening? Susie asks you and Kris a question, and Kris is quite literally forcing his mouth shut so YOU don't answer, this kind of dialogue box fuckery actually happens right before this scene, where Kris's will is strong enough to give you so many opportunities to abort the weird route, and even outright pleading you to not do this through the dialogue box.

Now a headcanon would be me telling you that I think Kris is a heccin wholesome queer non-binary schizophrenic just like me!!!! But I'm not a braindead fucking tranny so I don't say that kind of shit

so it comes off as the headcanon that it is instead of as a factual truth
>>
The ending is that you quit the game. The angel (you) is banished, you delete your save file. That's the ending. The state of the world at the ending can be very different depending on route. But you stop playing. That's the one ending.

>I resent that.
>I'm just as invested in both routes, and it never was a matter of finding the "smart" or "right" playthrough.
I don't think there's anything wrong with that, but Toby probably has different ideas. I think Toby Fox is the kind of guy who really does think that fictional characters exist to a certain extent, and that the label of fictional is really just a name, and that in some degree, characters are real.
We are certainly more real than characters, but then compare a rock to a mathematical theorem, which one is REALER? You might want to say the rock, because you can touch it, but you can also break a rock, can you break a mathematical theorem? It's not really who's more or less real but rather that some things exist in different levels of what it means to be REAL, that is, reality.
So, to some extent, fictional characters ARE real, and I think that's why Toby is so careful even for meta stuff like what characters get plushies, he doesn't want any plushies of Lightners because he believes they ARE real to some extent.
>>
>>737027807
>so it comes off as the headcanon that it is instead of as a factual truth
Ok? Explain to me what is "the factual truth" in Deltarune because from every single possible analysis of Deltarune it's quite clear it's a deeply interpretative story, this obsession with what is "canon" and "headcanon" doesn't really apply when we're trying to interpret what just went on rather than making up entirely new information with presented info (Like Dess's story, her appearance, why she is missing, etc).
This binary of headcanon vs canon doesn't really help any discourse to understand what a certain scene, like that one, means.
It's generally what happens when people are more interested in the LORE of the game rather than its THEMES. You can't really interpret lore to the same extent you would interpret themes, because themes are inherently philosophical.

>The angel (you) is banished, you delete your save file
speaking of which i noticed something fucky about the loading save menu; when part 3&4 came out, i started over from the beginning because I missed a lot of content. I deleted my old save and made a new one in a different slot. The slot the old save was in was all black and unselectable.

Well there ARE objective truths, I'm not arguing against that, I am arguing against this binary thinking that what is factual is only what is explicitly explained and told rather than what is implied or what you have to read between the lines.
Just read between the lines nigga, just like how you KNOW how someone is feeling just by looking at them rather than having them STATE and EXPLAIN what they're feeling

It's really the opposite: creepypasta shit in one-and-done games burn out faster since there's nothing more to add aside from discovering smaller hidden details over time, meanwhile drip-feed developing the creepypasta over time only gives people a reason to stay hooked and expand their theories about it. It's almost definitely at least part of why Toby is okay with dragging out his development of some silly SNES game.

There's no solution that makes everyone happy.
If you just go the natural "assume he/him until stated otherwise" route you piss off snowflakes and "contribute to the problem" because now ESLs are coming in calling Kris a guy because of the translation they used, and the mentally ill spics don't feel represented in their home language.
If you go the neo-words "elle/amige/etc" route you piss off majority spics and "contribute to the problem" because now you're trying to force native tongues to twist into gringo ideologies instead of accepting that "is not that deep, just call the chinaman that's sometimes a blueberry a boy".

My theory is Susie asking what Kris and Noelle were doing prompted the option box to appear as a way to answer her question, but because answering would be counter-productive to what we're trying to achieve, there are no options, forcing Kris to remain quiet. The slight tint and the rain stopping could be a side effect of messing with the rules of the world. Option boxes already tend to freeze the world in place, this just makes it obvious.
As to who or what did it, I would say it was the soul going off predetermined programming.

Toby Fox will never finish Deltarune. He already has your money. He has no incentive to finish the game.

I was gonna say this line of thinking is completely insane, completely out of touch with reality and a genuine sign of mental illness, and there's no way this is his actual reasoning, but like you mentioned, he refuses to give certain characters plushies for unspecified reasons, and I think those reasons might very well have something to do with this line of thought, so I cannot deny that this is what he intends, as ridiculous as it seems to me.

Not him but people think that the prophecy will defied because that's the entire arc of Susie and Gerson in Chapter 4. It's all about how you can't follow the prophecy blindly and need to write your own story. Since Deltarune is about interpretation of a work I assume it's going to be how they interpret the final tragedy. Probably in a way they don't get fucked.

Kris and Dess's plan is to protect Noelle by replacing her as The Girl With Hope Crossed On Her Heart. They chose Susie as the replacement because nobody cared about her. That's what makes the drama of Deltarune so juicy, is that everything is actually going great except that Kris accidentally became Susie's best friend.
However, I think Kris and Dess's plan fails on regular route. The prophecy comes true, Noelle goes angelic, and the team has to fight her.
On weird route, the player expresses a fascination or obsession with Noelle. I think Weird route is an expression of the player insisting on keeping Noelle and finding that to accomplish this she needs to, well, become stronger.

That depends on the character. Toby only doesn't make merch of the Deltarune lightners and Chara, as well as avoids using Frisk's name so maybe he only sees these characters as more real. He is willing to make merch of most regular Undertale monsters.
>>737039815
I think it's that Toby thinks fictional characters affect (you) and thus he doesn't want to dilute what they mean. I don't think Toby genuinely thinks the drawing is a real person but he is autistic about them so he probably thinks having a Chara or Kris plush makes their role in his story less meaningful. It's just high tier autism
