      I have seen many examples of this. It looked alot less colorful, which I really like as it felt more like the fallout of something than nowadays it being just so much different. I feel like they went away from that "corpse of a beautiful beast" and went more to a growing plant. Instead of focusing of what was, they focus on what will be. It's ok, but when you have lore of guardians that have lived for thousands of years at some point that immortality must have felt more like a curse than anything else

      meaning we were both a nobody and a somebody as we had nothing fancy but at the same time were where much more prepped then a standard refugee and we survived the great fall (no our fall, that killed us) but died at the last minute. we had to be strong to make it that far even if we died.

    Amongst Guardian and Ghost pairs, we are also an anomaly. Lore tabs and even Ghost himself have mentioned that normal Guardian-Ghost pairs have a very strong neural link that develops as their mastery of the light matures, where even if they can't read each other's thoughts it lets them feel each other's emotions. But Ghost has said that even with our link they never have any idea what we're thinking or feeling. This might also be a reference to the meta concept that other characters talk about where Destiny is a game and we as players are inscrutable paracausal outer entities to them.

    I've said this on your other videos, but your cutscenes are just so good. Honestly in many ways I think they are better then some of the ink blot cutscenes that exist in game. Even if I think the lore and story have become a mess of retcons and I think the game itself is an irrecoverable hollow shell I'll still come to see what you cook up. The Final Shape ain't gonna get my play time, but you'll get my watch time.

      But then again, who is to say such a conclusion will even be worth experiencing. I shudder to think what will happen if Final Shape isn't anything other than spectacular!
      But it is still my dream that we may save this game, and by extension, the proverbial soul of game companies.
      Like how Naruto saves Sasuke from the corruption of his vengeance! (more or less,)
      In the future, we will have need of those such as yourself: unblinded!

    There's something I want to say but can't quite put into the right words, about this incredibly unique place this has as a piece of Destiny art right now. There's this overlap of completely individual artistic prowess, a love for the parts of destiny that reeled us all in, and the way we seem to feel about the game at current. I don't think anything else i've seen has touched on the feelings I've had about the game right now like this has.
    Even if you want to consider the bits and background lines lamenting about the state of destiny just some kind of shitposting, it's just.... this expression of creativity alongside it.... People doing essentially short video essays about Bungie's choices has never considered the artistic inspiration it's given me, like even though I haven't even played in weeks I still wonder how my guardian would be interacting with characters, and the old pieces of content that made me think that way- like Season of the Drifter.
