>At the final prophecy, Kris looks through the shard, but no matter what, the prophecy does not distort through the glass, it remains unchanged
Game code suggests giving them all to Sean lets him construct something called the pure crystal. There is a crafting recipe to combine the Pure Crystal with the ThornRing to create a weapon called the Twisted Sword. Unlike the ring which increases "trance" the sword lowers "trance".
Chapter 3 has unused shadow crystal dialogue in the code that seems unlikely to be canon.
>For some strange reason, for just a brief moment, You thought you saw Undyne frozen in Ice.
Because of this and the older sneaking theme that Toby once posted, one might speculate that Noelle was originally going to be playable in chapter 3. We know chapter 3 had a difficult dev process because it was deciding how the rest of the middle of the game played out.

This would be terrible and be a middle finger to Toby's imagination philosophy by making it that only one fangame would be canon. Toby wants everyone's interpretation to be canon, not just Undertale Yellow. Plus to not mention the disastrous consequences of having Yellow canon due to how much it breaks Undertale (something the devs realize)

>Hopes:
Difficulty. My only major gripe with Chapter 4 other than main route Suselle faggotry was the fact that the bosses weren't all that tough, especially on repeat playthroughs. It doesn't have to be as hard as pre-patch Knight but I want to be seriously pushed. I also want to avoid even looking at the trailer/pre-release screenshots other than the release date until it drops.
>Dreams:
Shipping shit, especially Suselle, is killed or pushed to the side and never touched upon again. Asgore/Dreemurr family KINO where everyone is given the complexity they deserve.
>Fears:
Suselle being in the forefront of the story; too much levity given to important moments or story beats, being unable to go to Castle Town properly after sealing the ch5 dark world. My biggest fear of all is that Toby can't stick the landing and does something fucking retarded in an attempt to appeal to faggots/theorizers.
My release date prediction is that we're getting the announcement within 60 days and the game within a week after that.

I think the schizo will be FRIEND or someone important. Even though I like the idea of a cute touhou girl since this is the last schizo it has to be someone more important than Gerson. Also we're getting a new scarf for Ralsei, not a hat.

It wouldn't be all sunshine and rainbows. There would be serious moments but the plot wouldn't beat down the characters to no end. There would be some sign of hope so the characters could catch their breath and actually have fun at the festival.
Think back on UT, you had happy time in snowdin. Then waterfall pulled it down to a more somber tone, climaxing with a fight for your life. Hotland, back to being lighthearted with a slow build up to Asgore, Flowey, the secret lab, Asriel.

>>738261023
Sword Route is already done on the files where violence is more callous. Kris seems to hate killing virtual representation of his friends and family so I don't. I still T ranked that file though.
>>738261052
I avoid putting the eggs in the container on the violent file, and I purposely choose "no" to the forgotten man on every weird route encounter. Also for violent file specifically, I made sure to unrecruit Rabbick in Chapter 3.

The Church has a somber atmosphere and tension between Susie and Ralsei but it also has Gerson yucking it up, goofy redditor cups and the Halloween Youtube Poop boss. The Second Sanctuary is more surreal than somber and the Third Sanctuary is an outright heroic climax. I wouldn't call it despairing or depressing, the lowest moment at the very end is even countered by Susie's relentless optimism and the triumphant return of the guitar riff when you seal the fountain.
Undertale and Deltarune are both full of up and down swings between serious scenes and comic relief, every section of both games has both. For Deltarune especially it's important, the whole game exists in the tension between the fun fantasy adventures with your friends and the unpleasant reality underneath. That tension and dissonance is exactly what Toby wants you to feel, that's the draw.

I did this with my weird route which I haven't visited Castle Town once in all 4 chapters. I'd be disappointed if Toby forgor and Tenna ended up showing up in Chapter 5 Castle Town somehow (I won't save when checking of course).
>>
>>738270286
Yea, just don't go to Castle Town and don't go north after leaving Noelle's house, as doing either triggers Susie bringing Tenna over. When you arrive to your house at night after the dark worlds are sealed, Tenna will be missing, both outside and inside your house where Sans is at.

i think the passage of time influenced toby's writing more than even he himself thinks
she's clearly written as being more friendly with kris than a mere 3 days suggests, even if the game occasionally brings up how little time has actually passed
i think some of it is also the original susie personality bleeding through, according to toby susie was just slightly more tomboyish maya fey and the bully persona came later

I think that's the result of Toby not having a clear vision of how things will play out in while working on ch1. At first she was modeled after Maya Fey, but she slowly changed as he wrote ch1. We know Toby got the full story together sometime in 2020 iirc, he probably changed his mind again and/or had scenes he wanted to add that required her to change way faster than she realistically should have.

I also can't relate to having a pussy so the idea of Kris wanting to get knocked up or having cramps isn't as appealing
There's things you could do with female SOUL + male Kris but a lot of it probably leads to forcefem/sissy shit which I don't really like either
It could be fun to frame Kris's androgyny as them just suddenly becoming unnaturally feminine when possessed by the SOUL, getting hormonal around cute fluffy boys like Ralsei and attracting lesbians like Noelle and "straight" Berdly. "I swear I'm not gay I just have a woman's SOUL" uh huh sure bud.

Possession/shared senses stuff (especially crossgender) is pretty niche and I never really thought about it applying to Kris and the SOUL before so I wanted to get some of that out, my bad
(Come to think of it, it could work with Frisk and Chara too, or even do Red & Yellow and get Clover in there...)

You could definitely take a SFW/comedy angle with the idea, people going "what the fuck why is Kris so pretty/handsome all of the sudden" is good material

I mean, these threads are pretty degenerate already and there's almost nothing to discuss so you can discuss the fetish I awakened in you I guess. I think I've seen more of the possession fetish with Frisk/Chara than Kris but I'm no expert in it.
But yeah I intended that to be a comedy but you can add Noelle being involved into it if we end up possessing her as well.

Deltarune is a lot like an isekai series if you think about it, there's a ton of those where someone meets God and gets put into a fantasy world as a fully-formed teenager with special powers
But it's a subversion in that your "reincarnation" is hijacking somebody's existing life and they're still around in their body so you fight over it and tell them what to do. There's so much isekai shit out there I wonder if any of them have actually taken this angle.

A note on this in the normal route susie comes back to yell at them making kris considering going out the window to meet up with her.
While in the weird route she doesn't come back to the house to yell at them, meaning the well weird shit you've been doing with kris resulted in her not getting as attached as she normally would have.
It's a neat detail me thinks

Nope. It's genuinely disappointing. I was expecting Chapter 3 to have a "Bring Spamton to Tenna" and "Bring Chapter 2's cast to Chapter 3" route. But I guess Kris fucked it all up overnight.

You know the colors pink and yellow are deeply associated with the king in yellow?
Mostly because the original book was in split into 2 section
Yellow:knowledge
Pink:love
Full of short stories, the stories I yellow always ended in tragedy while the ones in pink were more... neutral.
The king in yellow would operate by luring artistic and obsessive individuals that would slowly reveal that everything they were doing and will happen was predetermined like they were just actors in a play and they can't change the script and they would usually start losing it as things start getting freaky.
Which all has incredibly similar connotations to deltarune, cause that's literally what happens to the schizo bosses and what may be happening to even the players...

It's clear he really wants Susie to be goofy, but also wanted to shoehorn his bully girl fetish in her, the result is a mess of a character arc for her.

Toby was not ready for a story of this scope, couldn't plan ahead well and the episodic format just makes it more jarring how often he changed his mind on things. He probably got more jaded after living through the pandemic, and having to deal with the mess that was developing chapter 3.
>>
I'm almost certain next chapter is the roaring. There's too much bait for it. Shop 3 is the theme for most shops from now on? End of the crystal plot line, and Seam pocketing them? No mention of ANYTHING past Asgore in Chapter 4 other than the tragedy and roaring? I'm meant to believe we'll actually see Asriel again? Endless dark for Chapters 6 and 7. I would stake my life on it.
>>
>>738280503
Probably because trying to suicide from a second floor sounds extremely hard to do. I mean, I guess if you land headfirst, but I think most people are really just going to assume Kris wanted to leave with Susie. It's kind of the same motivation either way, Kris just wants to escape this shit fucking life situation, which could be accomplished either with suicide or by running away with Susie and probably telling her about the whole plot and hoping she'll understand.
>>
>>738280612
i think she underwent rapid character development in ch1 because toby was unsure if he could make the rest, so he at least wanted susie to be at least partially realized
unfortunately this had adverse effects on her character when he did decide he could make the game, since now she's pretty static and only reacting to things happening around her

Underswap or shiftfell too work nice because it makes a substancial change beyond skeleton wanking, and some charisk or pain
But the swap of spamelle for example is a complete sequence break with a lot to dig previous the main events and afterwards, same with those pics
The thing with UT is that despite the changes it is always a fixed set of events, true that might come from the fact is a complete game, but for now the DR ones feel more open

A 2nd floor jump is going to at most break a leg more likely sprain a ankle, and if you're a person that actually knows what their doing with falls somewhat minimal chance of injury, and from the weird shit kris has done he'd probably be completely fine, likely has climbed out his windows multiple times.
I mean people have tried killing themselves off a 2nd floor jump, but it only works if they directly fall on their head but even then it there's like a 50/50 it doesn't.

That whole scene is really weird if you apy attention.
The jitterbugging noises suddenly stop when Susie starts talking. At first I assumed she rushed back there to scold Toriel and Sans for being bastards, but she isn't at the door outside and others have pointed out it was just representing a shift in attention from Kris.

On the suicide thing, I assumed he was going to yet again run around preparing for future chapters like we know he did at least for chapter 3, since chapter 1's ending.

Going to be fully honest but I mostly only care about AUs to see different designs for my favorite characters rather than big plot changes and a new story. For that I just prefer regular fanfics. But isn’t stuff like Spamelle the same thing as a regular Undertale AU? She just traces Spamton steps but in a Noelle style. I don't see many Deltarune AUs that do a completely different story.

>>738281021
I legitimately unironically no joke want the game's ending to involve every character that ever inadvertently alienated Kris to bawling their fucking eyes out when it turns out Kris sacrificed himself or was about to and they realize they contributed to it. I need that catharsis in my life.

How could he even think that? Undertale was a hit and had a rabid fanbase hungry for more, of course the promise of an Undertale 2 would work out.

But I'll give this whole thing a second thought: the way the characters and plot have progressed so far would mostly make sense if this was a 5 chapters game, with 1 setting things up, 2 as the "ongoing" adventure, 3 being the jarring tonal shift, 4 raising the stakes and 5 being the fallout of everything.

Given how 5 was supposed to be the end of this batch, and things like the shadow crystals and eggs will (probably) stop after, I still suspect 6 and 7 will be a total change in direction, almost like an extended epilogue.

If you want to make that stretch of a connection, Kris's name starts with the same sound as Chara's. And whose to say that Chara's real name in Undertale isn't Kris? Chara is just a default name recommended by Toby, but it was never truly "Chara" and was just "the first human".

UTY is great for gameplay and most of their main cast's character designs

Now that I've been playing Deltarune again recently in preparation for Chapter 5, my stance on Chapters 3 and 2 basically flipped. Chapter 2 takes fucking forever but Chapter 3 was always fun for me. Only big hit I can give it is the Zelda segments not being able to save when I have to suddenly go do something. Other than that I'm glad it actually pushed the plot forward and sowed important seeds for the important stuff that happens later and will happen later. Now it feels batshit insane when anons say that they wanted Deltarune to be Chapter 2 for 5 whole chapters minimum. I don't think I could've stood Susie being a complete moron and not knowing Darkners were fake until The Roaring or whatever

Because 1+2 were just more Undertale, and UT was, in fact, the Ruins template repeated across 4 areas (or about 80% of the normal route).

But I do agree Chapter 2's normal route feels very odd in hindsight, even Chapter 1 feels more in line with the current game when we got shit like King threatening to kill Lancer and then faking a change of heart. Queen doesn't earn GALLERY playing on her cutscene, and they all laugh about it in the end like a cheesy sitcom.

>close the ARG for a while
>open it again, give out vague answers so that people understand (if only vaguely) what/who the question is about
>close it without a definitive answer so that people will play the new chapter(s) with the question in mind

>open it again after the answer (if there even is one) has become obvious, shenanigans ensue
Nobody "got it" the first two times because it isn't meant to be solved yet or maybe ever. It's a foreshadowing device.

Toby would have not confidently slapped 2026 in chapter 4's credits if 5 was supposed to release so dangerously close to this deadline. Unless something went horribly wrong, I say 4th quarter is unlikely.

On the other hand, he overtly said it was unlikely to release on the first half, releasing in July right when the release window opens is also unlikely.

August or September it is.

"Ralsei" sort of predates both Deltarune and Asriel
The absolute earliest evidence we have of Deltarune's production is early draft scripts from April 2012, where Toby showed off dialogue from Jevil's fight and Lancer (and implicitly King), all characters created by Kanotynes which Toby adopted for Deltarune
Toby realized the scope of the project was beyond him and shelved it to start making Undertale not long after. It's pretty impossible to separate where the earliest concepts of Deltarune end and where Undertale begins unless Toby tells us something, the two stories are inseparably linked at this point.
That concept art of The Fun Gang and Noelle - which Toby openly admits is altered and he's still hiding things from us - was apparently made around 2014/2015 while Undertale was well into development.
There is some small reason to believe Dess might have come later. In an early version of the Undertale Alarm Clock dialogue which Toby posted on the 2nd anniversary in 2017, in Asgore's dialogue talking about Rudy he mentions "his wife and DAUGHTER," singular. Maybe that means something, maybe it doesn't.

The Shadow Crystals show Fate. The Truth is written in glass.
The Dark World is an illusion. The crystals show the Light World.
Kris sees themself as The Cage. Their hand is not their own.
Susie is the enemy. Kris will betray her. She is the Dragon.
Noelle will guide Kris through the dark, whispering the way. This is her fated role.

Muffet isn't his baby, I doubt he would be opposed to including her in principle but he would feel like he needs to give the other guest characters equal time too. Do you want to actually have So Sorry in Deltarune?
He probably also feels bad about shoving So Sorry in the closet and exposing Samael to ridicule over the years, even if he literally asked for it and was warned it would happen. The opaque reference to him in the Art Therapy scene is probably the best possible use of the character, and frankly an incredibly based move to have the balls to put something like that right in the middle of such a delicate place in the story.

A whole bunch of crap here. The early 3+4 threads were shitting on the game quite a lot, specially when he tried to unrape the doe. The memes died real fast this time, the new secret bosses didn't get close even to what Jevil was, much less Spamton (Unless you count the Knight but it's a whole different category of character in practice). The defending actually went up after the hype died down, people complaining about shit like Noelle shit talking Catti probably just left early on.

And you can't even blame me (Mikefag) for that because I wasn't around in the threads for the first month after release.

The Shadow Crystals show Tenna destroyed, meaning they can't show the "truth" or a world without Kris. It can't be the future as well, unless Tenna still ends up dying later on even after we saved him. You can still save Tenna on the Weird Route, making it unlikely that they are showing the Weird Route unless Tenna still dies later.

My guess? Time loops. They show the original timeline before Ralsei and Kris started fucking with it. Apparently in this timeline Kris is missing a hand, Noelle is close to Kris while Susie is cold towards Kris, and the Fun Gang chose violence during their adventures in the Dark World causing Tenna to die.

What are the implications of Chapter 6 and 7 being so different that Toby himself sees his game in a "Pre Chapter 5" and "Post Chapter 5" order?
What the fuck is gonna happen? The Roaring?

I imagined toby was not going to answer anything and only throw more mystery boxes at us, and I was right

>>738290145
You were wrong.
Go ahead and list all the questions the game hasn't answered yet, I know you think that proves something.
>>
>>738290145
How dare there be mysteries in a mystery story! Go play another game if you hate it so much.
>>
>>738290138
Undoubtedly. Mindbreaking every theory ever after a 3-year drought does that.
>>738290121
The Roaring is the only apocalyptic "oh shit" scenario that would warrant shifting gears so drastically, yeah

We will get something but it will probably just be the follow up to the thank you ARG

Because Tenna was literally destroyed in that scene, saving him was walking in-between the lines.

roaring likely starts at the end of ch5 and continues into ch6
ch7 is the wrap up

remember that the original plan was for 2-5 to release all at once, before ch2 became stand alone and then the delays
all prior cliffhangers are going to look like minor speedbumps compared to whatever the fuck ch5 is going to look like

i wouldn't call it underwhelming, i think it was a deliberate cool down
the big climax of the chapter was the titan, and then susie learning how the prophecy ends
the remaining minutes of the chapter are dedicated to kris and susie wandering around town at night, hardly saying a word to each other

The Titan
It's a bit ironic since "towers" are usually identified with Rooks, but it makes sense when you remember that the standard Bishop has a cut on its face

do you faggots care about anything other than shipping teenage furshit. Like I don't know... getting hyped over Susie discovering Kris is working for the Knight? Or the implications of Chapter 5 possibly having the Roaring? Or the implication of the mirror monster in Chapter 3 Sword Route having a black deer as its sprite that only appears if you delete a variable called Toriel? How come you don't find THIS interesting?!

Closest thing to a cliffhanger is Carol's message on the weird route. What now?

Hey, don't talk to me, I lost faith in the romance of this game since 2021. But shipping shit has coped and endured stronger and longer than the actual deep lore. No one bothers to try to piece together Gaster anymore like how we did with Jevil and Spamton's times.
>>
>>738291576
>do you faggots care about anything other than shipping
no, they don't. these threads are a prison and love triangles are the shackles that bind us.

From Hollow Knight to Silksong it was 8 years, or 6 years after SS's announcement. Free extra content DLC is coming about a year after release.

From Undertale to Deltarune chapters 3+4 it was 10 years, or 7 years after announcement. The game is still not finished.
