    Gotta give major props to Nichole Goodnight at making each and every Princess sound vastly unique and clearly different (yet, somehow fairly similar since they are all a part of the same being) from one another that befits their respective personalities.

      The same person, the same whole, yet different facets, different shards of a shattered pane.
      I am well familiar with the concept, it is one which I use frequently for my creative projects.

    I love how after combining into the shifting mound each vessel slightly change their tone of voice and personality to align with the shifting mound

    The amount of quotes from this part of the game that have stuck around in my head is a testament to how good the writing of STP really is

    It's actually scary that despite having ascended to godhood, the Apotheosis Princess remains as nothing but an ant to the Shifting Mound - a weaker goddess in contrast to a far more frighteningly powerful one.

      As of the March update, she appears behind Shifty, dwarfing her, before moving to the side.

    8:43 I love how prisoner is trying to escape shifty. I guess she really doesn't like being trapped, even in herself.

      She's clearly rising to say her piece? But that doesn't happen anymore.

    Something I don't understand is that the Adversary practically advocates for the very thing that the Shifting Mound opposes: a deathless existence that goes on forever. Yet when the player calls it out on how meaningless it is--something the Shifting Mound should agree with--she instead rails against the idea, instead framing it as finding meaning in what short spurts of life they found in that deathless existence???

      @MaxRavenclaw  Год назад +122

      Not exactly. She doesn't advocated for literally what happened between you and the Adversary, but for what is symbolises: struggle, death, and the birth of something new to continue the struggle. I admit that the reply you can select and the answer to it is a bit odd, and having played through this so many times I suspect it's because they didn't really record unique replies for the various counter-arguments you can bring yourself, which themselves are more limited than the arguments presented by the mound. The essence of this fight is in the first part of the mound's arguments, while your dialogue options and her replies to them sometimes fall flat.

      Except that the Adversary doesn't represent this, the one who represents this is Long Quiet himself (which is why the narrator needs you to stay alive for his goal). The only reason the Adversary is able to resurrect is because the Stubborn, aka part of the Lonq Quiet, believes she can.
      And since this was his will (and also, in a way, a gift to her), Shifty accepts this in the same way she accepts the Long Quiet.

      The adversary celebrates the struggle, the fight, the determination and exertion. She wants it to continue, to burn with passion and will. She doesn't want to hold it back, nor does she want to end it. Without the Hero fighting till his death, the victory is hollow. Without the Hero's return, the thrill soon fades with no possibility of it occuring again.
      She is the fight to live, the will to get up again.
