      @@joshuawilliams4314 a fair point I hadn't considered to be honest. Without the added context you only get from choosing "the flash that cuts", my own thought process was "one of these things is personally related to Ciri, while the other appears to be a random phrase." Now that you've put that thought in my head, I'll probably be a "flash that cuts" player from now on.

    • @535phobos
      @535phobos 22 дня назад +83

      I usually took "The Flash that cuts" as A) it is a Witcher tradition from Geralts time, making Ciri one of them, and most importantly B) Ciris steel sword is already called Zireael. She doesnt need 2 swallows.

    • @wampyrelli
      @wampyrelli 20 дней назад +28

      @@535phobos I feel like the traditional witcher approach to Ciri, like getting drunk together instead of a snowball fight, is what distances Geralt from her. And it's the more personal approach, where Geralt tries to understand her individuality, that wins her over... I'd say that naming the sword "Zirael" instead of putting the witcher factory motto on is part of it...

    • @Veloziraptor111
      @Veloziraptor111 18 дней назад +32

      I chose Swallow on my first playthrough when I thought Ciri had died. I thought Geralt was honoring her by taking up a sword with her name. But now that I know she lives in that scenario, I'll always choose the flash that cuts, because Ciri already has a sword named Swallow - her steel sword. Seems kinda dumb to give her a silver one with the same name.

    Honestly when I think about the books I don't think Ciri would like the Zireael inscription too much, because this is the name that people often used when speaking about her destiny, her blood and so on. For example, it was often used in Tir na Lia, when the Aen Elle spoke about her and what she is supposed to do for them. It was something she didn't like, didn't want to be part of and that caused her so much suffering. In the end I think she came to terms with it, but she always called herself witcher and wanted to be like Geralt, wanted to be with the other witchers in Kaer Morhen. For me, it makes more sence to give her the old witchers' motto inscription on the sword, but that's just my interpretation of book Ciri. I think one can argue that W3 Ciri is different than her and feels different about the name 'Zireael'.

      I fully agree, and while I lack the knowledge of the books entirely I believe it to be common, and certainly not out of the realm of possibility that people will often use a name they are called but don't like as a way to strengthen themselves. Use it as a shield if you will. I could see her perspective on Swallow changing and becoming more positive as she shapes her own destiny as a Witcher. Who knows though, I also agree that game Ciri and book Ciri are definitely different.

    • @EatingthatBread
      @EatingthatBread 19 дней назад +13

      You could also see it as a sort of "rebranding" for the name, instead of being associated with her destiny and blood and so on, her name is now written on a true witchers silver sword instead, overwriting it in a sense.

      @TacoJim 17 дней назад +21

      In the books, Zireael is a nickname that she is often referred to by the Aen Elle who are basically interdimensional elves on the brink of extinction.
      The word itself is inextricably tied to her blood and her destiny, and so she knows what it means by virtue of the word following her. There's another comment on the video that explains why she would probably actually hate this inscription, as she hates people who try to tell her what her destiny is. She has only ever wanted to be a witcher.
      But I think the naming convention is for fans.

      either ciri died or she became the empress. taking her to see emyr gets the empress ending (which although ciri would be a good leader for nilfgard, i dont like taking her to emyr cos hes a creepy piece of shit)

      Don't bring Ciri to see Emir and she will not became an Empress at the end but a witcher (if she survive of course)

      U need to do the fu things with ciri, and refuse the money ( if i remembver correctly ) from the emperor, + ofc not give her back to get this ending, or something like that. Basically the same thing for that ending where she dies but u do the fun things like snowball, and break stuff in catacombs

    I always laughed at the 2 choices the game gives you.
    The Devs were like "Do you want this sentimental sword to be given the name of its weilder?"....
    "Or do you want this stupid phrase?"
    Like the choice was so obvious lol

      damn I though so as well, but if I knew it was a witchers related stupid phrase Id definitely pick it instead of "swallow"

    I hope the next Witcher game is about ciri as an actual witcher
    And we see Geralt as an old man in his farm with Yen

    Author of the video: there is a huge difference. People in the comments, yes this is incredible. I looked through it frame by frame, the only difference is the longer title -> longer dialogue -> longer animation, and the parts that match are completely identical. Not a bad clickbait 😮‍💨
