I do wonder if the Fritz x Ymir stuff was inspired by the Jacopo x Morgana stuff (my guess, but it's the one that sticks out to me as the clear inspiration). The problem being that, while Jacopo is ultimately humanized, albeit having done some really shitty stuff, Fritz never had that, so it just seemed like the weird stockholm sydrome-esque relationship. That's why the letting go and closure in THIFM works while it doesn't in AoT, at least regarding those two storylines. That's how I read it at least but I'm happy to admit if I'm reading into either incorrectly

I played this on a recommendation of a crush, and she insisted on listening to me play it every step of the way. We then listened to another friend play it. This story doesn't get old, it's not only the greatest for it's artistic quality, but how important of a lesson it is. It's so visceral, poignant and carnal to the deepest degree, and the pay off at the end felt like an ultimate release. The amount of pain that every character endured, and still sometimes wasn't enough to reach their desires at the time they wanted, was ultimately rewarded at the very end. You can endure, you can try your hardest, you can still fail, but things will eventually get better if you keep pushing, and no matter how hard and painful it was, the pay off at the end will be worth every single tear. We found things at every watch along. My crush listened to people play the game 6 times over, and there's still little subtleties to find. And props to the translators too, since the game was originally in Japanese, and they STILL managed to translate not only the storyline itself, but the emotion, the intrigue. The story itself is universal, but it's honestly amazing that the translation quality was so good that it didn't skip on any bit of emotion.

Things the white haired girl does and says in the first three doors make a lot of sense when you realize she is part of Morgana. The white haired girl is pretty much looking for forgivable and 'what if' sides in her tormenters. The story with the tower she tells Mell seems to be like if she is asking him if he would save her. She finds out that Mell isn't really mean. But he is no hero, and no prince coming to save her. Her fully accepting Yukimasa despite him believing he is a beast is as if she tries to see if there is any kind of love and humanity in him. Turning a blind eye (pun intended) to his actions. Yukimasa does have a way of showing love and humanity. But not enough. He is still a beast. With Jacopo it is quite direct. She knows he is her captor, and her letters are a plea for him to come to his senses. Things would have been different if Mell was brave enough to stand up to the other two men. If Yukimasa was humane enough to see that it was wrong. And if Jacopo opened his eyes.

Judging by what you said about you resonating with Jacopo the most, I have a feeling that Requiem for Innocence is going to land him as one of your favorites maybe even put him above Guts.

I watched this randomly, not expecting much just cause it appeared on my recommended and the title made me curious. BUT I GOT SO INVESTED IN THIS. And I think it's mostly due to the fact that you're an amazing storyteller, and you've successfully summarized such a unique and complex story. Awesome video! You've done the perfect job of sharing this VN to more people who haven't heard of it

That game is for me the best story I ever read. I read it 2 years ago but I still have not experienced a story that made me feel so many emotions than the house in fata morgana. I realized that this game was incredible when I finished door 2 , the twist obliterated me. For me door 2 was my favorite out of the first 3 doors.

Fata Morgana has been my favorite VN even now and I've read a lot of Visual Novels. Nothing has ever took its spot. It's just so... different. Everything from the narrative, audio, characters, to the art has had me captivated from start to finish. Plus how every one of those tragedies connect to one another.

THANK YOU for making this video about this masterpiece. I started playing this at the end of 2021 and finished it earlier this year (having read the prequel and sequel as well), and did I take my sweet time with it because I don't think a piece of media has ever made me so psychologically tired and hurt as this one; and I don't mean this in a bad way at all. It's a testament to how powerful the writing is; the characters, the settings, the themes... everything about it is nothing short of a spectacular tale, one that should be read by all those who have the chance to do so. Door 2 was actually my favourite lmfao. Perhaps due to the tone shift? I thought I'd hate it; since the first door was so focused on psychological horror, seeing the second one take on such a gruesome and (what appeared to be at the time) cheap slash horror I felt so underwhelmed... to then proceed to cry my eyes out at the Pauline reveal and how tragic the whole thing was. I'll never forget the contrast between her just wanting to live a peaceful and meeting the end she does. Anyway! Beautiful, beautiful piece of media, I highly think it's one of the best ones ever written. I truly hope more people give this a try, as well as their next project which is currently underway, Project Code Name: M (or something along those lines, too early in the morning), which appears to be equally fascinating. 🤎

i really adore this story, so it's always great to see people talking about it! i still can't believe it's gotten so popular over the past few years. i'm glad it seemed to resonate with you as much as it did with me and many others. [spoilers] you did get a few pronunciations wrong, which is understandable but still worth pointing out. novectacle rhymes with 'spectacle' as far as i'm aware (though the company has since switched to calling themselves 'NOVECT'), and jacopo is said like 'iacopo' or 'yacopo'. michel is said in a similar manner to 'michelle' except the emphasis is more on the first syllable, and didier is 'dee-dee-ey'. georges is hard to articulate with english spelling, but the s is silent, and both g's are said as more of a 'zh' as in the world 'seizure', so it's something like 'zhorzhe'. there's also a few other details here and there i noticed were off (for example, the game has been out in english on PC since 2016, not 2019). the most notable thing i wanted to clarify is michel's condition, since it seemed like you were struggling to find a way to discuss the topic without seeming insensitive. michel is confirmed to be intersex. such terminology obviously didn't exist back in the middle ages, but in some of the side stories set in present times, he does use the term for himself. fun fact, being intersex is a lot more common than most people assume. if i remember correctly, about 1 in 130 people are intersex, and many don't even realize it since there aren't always external physical signs. if you're curious about the specifics, i'd recommend doing some more research on the topic, especially listening to intersex people describe their own experiences. sorry for all the nitpicks lmao, i'm a bit of a fata morgana megafan so i wanted to offer clarification on a few things. overall this was a really nice video that did a pretty good job at summarizing the story and what makes it so great! i hope you enjoy requiem for innocence, it's a wild ride for sure. there's also 2 more side games called reincarnation and seventh lair, so be sure to check those out too, along with the bonus stories included with the first game.

Regarding Michel's condition, it's not that he doesn't have a penis, during Aimee's torture she mentions that he does have genitalia, but they're extremely malformed and are "neither those of a man nor those of a woman", combined with the way he's portrayed before and after his puberty it's safe to assume he's intersex, meaning "individuals born with any of several sex characteristics including chromosome patterns, gonads, or genitals that do not fit typical binary notions of male or female bodies" (definition copy-pasted from wikipedia)

I actually played the DLC first (which in retrospect ruined the plot twists for me of Morgana- because I knew her entire story with Jacupo.) I never finished it because it got really gory and just a *bit* too intense for my liking. And I hate to say it but (and it was the weirdest thing) the writing was so good that my mind kinda sorta blocked out the weirdness of their ages and I simply wanted Jacupo and Morgana to be together and have their happy ending. Yes, I know- I shouldn't have, but they were both so well written! (I even ended up crying over the first lord's death and the weird love he had for Ceres- which was so fucking weird.) This series made me feel things for people I was supposed to hate- it should have repulsed me and made me turn away. But I ended crying at all the tragic endings that befell every character. Seriously, the writing for this show is just....soooooo good. (PS- thanks for explaining the main story- I don't actually have the attention span to sit with a visual novel for more than 8-9 hours. And judging by how long the DLC was- I can only imagine how long the *main* game is.)

Wow... It's been a while at this point since I have read FataMoru and I can't believe it's been a couple years already since it was my first introduction to pure visual novels. Watching this video has made me realize again how much I love this VN. Thank you for bringing this to a wider audience, it really deserves it. It feels crazy to see that as of now 188k people have seen this video about such an obscure story in the grand scheme of Anime/Video Games/Literature; whatever you can include FataMoru apart of where other works have a much bigger ratio of fans.

What other visual novels do you reckon after reading FataMoru?
@FriedFrenchFries
Жыл бұрын
@@based4560 There isn't any other VNs quite like FataMoru, but I'll list some I personally love: Umineko (my favorite) Higurashi Subarashiki Hibi Steins;Gate Clannad The Muv-Luv Trilogy Tsukihime Fate/stay night White Album 2 Saya no Uta The Zero Escape Trilogy Raging Loop Ace Attorney All of these VN's are very different from FataMoru, but like I said there aren't really any that are similar, so choose whichever sounds the most appealing. Umineko is the most similar if I really had to say. I think Steins;Gate is probably the safest recommendation I could make, and people will be most likely to enjoy it. There's romance in some of these VN's but you are not going to find something as good as FataMoru's in almost all of them. If books are ok, I heard FataMoru was very inspired by Tanith Lee novels, although I haven't read any. A lot of Edgar Allen Poe's works is probably be a good recommendation too. If FataMoru's backlog stuff in door 4 interested you, I can recommend House of Leaves, and I can recommend it even more if you like Umineko. If you're interested, my favorite two favorite books are Infinite Jest and The Brothers Karamazov. Infinite Jest has a gimmick similar to House of Leaves. And lastly, if I can recommend two games (both very text based anyways), then I will recommend Night in the Woods and Disco Elysium. There are still a bunch of VNs I haven't read yet and the ones I have read are generally well received and the more popular ones, so keep that in mind, there's possibly some greater stuff I have yet to unravel.
