    Hello, I'm the server owner of the Lorekeeper server. I am glad to see this video be a thing. I hope this video can get people interested in this niche. Thank you, Bowler!

    As the creator of Pomme, I've always had a lot imagined for her but we just haven't seen any of it happen yet. Her vague description on the official website makes it seem like they're keeping their options very open for her.

    • @BowlerSSF2
      @BowlerSSF2  Месяц назад +32

      I think she has a ton of potential and I'm really excited to see what they do with her!
      But like you mentioned, she definitely has one of the least detailed bio's on the website.

    • @Trashley652
      @Trashley652 5 дней назад +3

      I think a rivalry between Pomme and Mollo would make a lot of sense, Mollo being the incredibly cool anarchist hero trying to tear down the establishment, vs Pomme who seems to have quite a lot of stake in the status quo of the future being maintained

    • @Trashley652
      @Trashley652 4 дня назад +5

      Ok I thought Mollo was based but after actually watching that part of the video, his alignment seems... unclear. Is Mollo good? Does anyone know? Doesn't matter. I support trans rights _and_ trans wrongs.

      I'm thinking Pomme works with or for Loxodont to keep Neo Julesvale and Neo Fire Capital people "entertained" and not question his ruling based off her stage background where Lox appears and even his name is spelled. Pomme sells people a *_SMOKE_* curtain and Lox keeps her famous and relevant.

    as a player that has never really cared much about the lore and only the competitive aspect, this is a lovely video, summarizes everything up super nicely, newfound appreciation for the lore, wondering how they'll expand it in the future title.

    It’s so refreshing to have a coherent resource that puts everything into one place. Here’s to Rivals 2!!!
    (Also ty for letting me preview & discuss the lore. I care WAY too much about the lore lmao)

    Where has this video been all my life, as someone who isn't too into fighting games but is really into rivals of aether, I liked this whole rundown of the lore.

  • @thatpikminguy5885
    @thatpikminguy5885 Месяц назад +5

    Great video! I didn’t realize that the characters actually got trapped in the abyss after the first game. Should make rivals 2 story interesting!

  • @HoshiNoKaabii
    @HoshiNoKaabii Месяц назад +5

    Holy shit! An hour long video about Rivals of Aether's lore! That's crazy how much effort and time you put into this!

  • @HelpfulArtifact
    @HelpfulArtifact Месяц назад +3

    Super happy to see this video exist!!
    Rivals has the mechanics and gameplay down but it has the ability to really establish itself as its own IP with its characters and world!
    Most other platform fighters cheat their way into endearing you to their cast by being crossover games. I’d love to see the team work on really fleshing out the world and more to draw more than just the hyper technical competitive crowd.
    I’m only half way through the video at this point, but I recall Rivals 2’s story mode director comparing it to subspace with a particular focus in detailing the dynamics, strengths, and weakness of the individual rivals. That and collectibles which likely have even more lore attached. Extremely interested to see how Aether Studio chooses to move forward with it!

    Ooh, thanks for the recap! I haven’t looked into Dungeons of Aether at all because it’s not really my kind of game, but I’m glad I learned what happens in it! There are some really good character designs in there. They’ve came a long way since the original Rivals story mode lol

    Sorry to rivals 1 but you can feel how well the story is planned out in dungeons of aether in comparison.
    Although it did surprise me how interesting the story was over all.
    Hoping Rivals 2 is fully realized and can expand upon it.

    Great video!!! The editing was great and your able to lay out the confusing stories in a nice comprehensive way. I have one dumb nitpick tho, it’s about the aetherian forest fire. The world of aether was always a massive forest, but because of the fire nations battling for power (as stated in the LOA test 😭) they started an immense forest fire that enraged Sylvanos. Sylvanos was also enraged by the merchants cutting down the trees BEFORE the war happened. So once Sylvanos awoken the fire nation and the earth… people started fighting. The war continued but eventually the Earth People realized that Sylvanos was too powerful and greedy, and decided to end the war by making a pact with the wall runners. Also I think Kragg is the only character who has control of the earth, Im pretty sure but I can’t remember why I know that. Also your right about Ranno going to the Hodojo, they talk about that in one of their stage showcases when the kickstarter was happening. Either way, great video and Im glad someone finally made a lore video
