Follow me on twitter and send me your custom characters in Code Vein. I'd love to see.
Also, i pretty sure that, at the end, Davis said something about Silva is actually alive and reorganize Cerberus Unit and the Government.
You’ve already seen mine or should I send it again? Of course due to new game pluses ludicrous difficulty spike I’m using a secondary character now instead of my original.
Atelier God Sure. I’ll take a look.
Oh I didn't know God Eater share universe with Code Vein.
Too bad Code Veins is Souls like since I dislike that type of play style else I would consider giving it a go.
Btw how must trouble did you have with the 2 boss before Mido? (Frost and Fire one you show ad the end of the video)
Danny Kriegbaum Laursen it’s only a surface level comparison, I don’t like the souls games much either but code vein was fun and interesting so deciding based on the fact you don’t like that series shouldn’t be the deciding factor, maybe you could check if you could still download the demo and try the game like that?
You forgot to mention that if you complete the Eos core, everyone sets out beyond the Gaol, with the player being the last one to leave. The player then hears something and turns, and in surprise, simply says “Io.” Which implies Io was able to do one of two things, either separate herself from the tree without killing it or create a duplicate of herself, both out of her desire to want to be with the player.
@@NovacainJayR That or the Amber Bead might be a way to bring her back. Bandai needs to make a Code Vein 2. CV is the only souls like I'll torment myself with.
I just got this like a month ago, and got that ending... I was wondering, if you leave the successors without saving their souls, do you get another ending?
@@Virjunior01 Yes the Bad ending. An ending as far as I've seen everyone is always saddened by. A reason I can't force myself to do that ending.
@@ninjawarroir9876 just about done with playthrough 4... there's a "secret" 4th ending which I guess I could have gotten with my good ending playthrough, but hastily went to do the bad and middle ones. So now I'm just stomping everything for the real best ending
We see both Nicola and (according to the researcher NPC Sophie) the Nameless Successor in the Dried-Up Trenches (the Insatiable Tyrant?) create clones.
Considering Io's a special case, it makes sense that she could control one directly as well right?
Louis just gets smacked around like an emotional beach ball throughout the story.
Headphone Actor Poor guy.
@@otakudaikun I know!!!! The guy just doesn't catch a break!!!! The girl he likes becomes a monster and he has to bear the brunt of the responsibility, the guy he saved dies following Louis' generous example, and then the bad ending happens. It's like the gods just went "Fuck Louis in particular".
#GiveLouisABreak2020
I actually felt sorry for him when I found out Karen was also a Successor. Also felt kinda sick knowing that everyone has been drinking her tears to survive and that it's also powering the red mist. Thankfully, I saved Aurora. So with subsequent successors saving them became automatic because I believed something could change.
I try to have my character be there for Louis even with Io at his side. Mainly for that reason.
I hope code vein sales enough for a sequel.. it's so damn good
Remember we're getting DLC first
@@AuthorityCat are we?
@@Peakock-0 yes sir 2020 and an update in december 2019. Hope you're ready for more Lore I sure am!
@@kanamethelegend Oh boy an update just before im getting the game on christmas?
fuck yes
it honestly feels like they might be planning a sequel or game that merges the two? i wasnt expecting Aragami to be involved in this game i thought it was its own Spin off type game its epic
"Louis is Karen's sister" Got a little something reversed there, lol.
For the most part, in the bad ending, it's not just everyone is sad. Louis takes Silva's spot on the throne to maintain the red mist, and all of the other party members take their corresponding loved one's spot as a successor (Mia in Breath, Yakumo in Claw, Jack in Throat). It's pretty much just a hard reset, minus Mido trying to fuck everything up and now no one is going around calming the successors.
Kazuto Katsuragi Ha! I can’t believe I did that.
Wait... that’s the bad ending? I don’t remember that happening to Louis.
In the bad ending I got, my character took Silva’s place and Io turned to stone holding my hand.
But then again, I only saved some of the successors.
@@nicodemusedwards6931 that's the neutral ending.
@@nicodemusedwards6931 Yeah, the bad ending is the one where Louis stabs you and take's Silva's place.
This is why you never trust people. They always stab you in the back.
A Revenant with a God Eater weapon, the power.
The Problem with that is : The Aragami doesn't have Actual Blood for them to drink, and they don't have any Idea of "Oracle Cell Technology" , By that I mean : Unless they find a way to "Infuse" their Blood Veils with that Technology They are going to Starve into a Frenzy, and that's without accounting for "Aragami Infection" If Revenants try to absorb Oracle Cells WITHOUT Bias Factor, Unless the BOR Parasite can Actually Neutralize Oracle Cells.
If that's the case with the interaction between "BOR' and "Oracle" , They won't be able to "Handle" a God Arc in the first place, Probably the only way for them to "Damage" the Aragami would be through their "Gifts" and Their "Blood Veils" because their Regular weapons won't do anything for Them, not even Drain "Ichor" since Aragami don't have actual Blood.
You mean the people that pre-order the game. XD
@@allysonxmendes Well, to be fair Soma's Buster Blade is considered one of the Top weapons in the game as the Best Crush Type, even surpassing the Strongest Hammer, but don't quote me on that, I still have to confirm it myself once I can start experimenting with it...
i felt that the thorns of judgement and that horror were familiar. but i didn't know that Code vein shares God eaters universe. that explains why the setting felt familiar.
Icor means "blood of the gods"
I leave you with that
I always thought it was a coincidence that this and GE were similar, its honestly terrifying thinking of it as a shared universe
Eh... I heard it was by the same dev team and had many thematic similarities, but I didn't expect them to take it all the way into the GE universe.
Same devs but i agree i wasnt expecting Code Vein to tie into God Eater universe haha can you imagine the god eater characters and these characters meeting each other
Well when the barrier comes down for a short time before the wambo combo... I mean mido boss you see a creature come frome the outside that looks alot like a arigami i made the connection there
@@Lupus-iv7jp The best this is not just any aragami but Dyaus Pita one of the aragami you meet in the first God Eater game and this thing was majorly annoying.
Apparently the origional working title was God Eater Zero while Code Vein was a placeholder name for the project, and they changed it later on in the development to Code Vein being the official title to keep the God Eater twist fresh for the players.
There were references all throughout, such as the Bugarally doll and the Thorns of Judgment from the GE anime, but we were supposed to think those were just call backs.
And then there's the dataminers who found out that in the source code the game refers to itself as GEZ.
Idk if it was mentioned.
But the protagonist holds the relic of the blood. And Karen holds the relic of the heart hence why she can create blood beads.
Its not explicitly stated that either are relic holders, beyond off hand optional dialogs in the base with party members. Neither of them are even directly referred to as successors, with the protag mostly being called carrier of the blood, when a "name" is used to address them at all. Louis might have referred karen as a successor maybe one time, but i cant remember if he directly said she was one or said something else describing her role.
Just a small thing you got wrong: The Queen and The Lost can never die, even if their hearts are destroyed and they're turned to ash, since the BOR Parasyte is bonded to their bodies on a molecular level.
I was looking for someone to say this and it even says so in the game
True tho its mainly lore to explain why they respawn when you rest or why some bosses you fight in the main story are in the depths tho true all the same
And that BOS parasite is actually base on the real disease, cancer. An undying cell in human body, this gives the experiments for superhuman success before this mutated cell involve in DNA change when they make found out a strange disease happened early in the story of GER.
He says a little after they can’t die
Louis: Don’t worry, I won’t stab you in the back...
Also Louis: 44:30
That's... Actually some pretty cool foreshadowing
...unless you turn into a super powered monster, repeating the tragedy that destroyed the local region*
That was some Isayama-level foreshadowing

Jokes on you, Code Vein is a prequel.

I should really replay those games as myself. That sounds baller.
You tell him !
I love it when more than one story takes place in the same universe. It expands the world making it more complex more in depth. I wished they'd do that more often in other popular franchises.
Kinda wish it wasn't the concept of the BOR parasite is so intriguing, kinda wish it was more isolated
@@alvi9463 Well can look at it this way, the two series share the same base, but until we get confirmation from either series about the other's existance Code Vein is one universe where the special mcguffin formed as the BOR parasite, while God Eater is another universe where it formed as the Oracal Cells. Just from a surface level of understanding for God Eater the Aragami/Horrors would be no different then a naturally occuring version of a Lost Successor.
@@truekurayami not really, the blatant reference to the great collapse and the appearance of the thorns of judgement all over the game's environment can't really be explained with the BOR parasite alone.
@@alvi9463 Ya actually Code Vein and God Eater only share a base. This video actually had started a huge fight between the authors of both series, but they did come to an agreement on sharing a base but are still completely separate from each other.
@@truekurayami that still leaves out the thorn of judgement how will code vein explain that ?
The true ending teases that Io came back. If the protagonist opens his/her mouth and calls her name it has to mean something.
At least I hope so.
I think the ending just had the character look back and reminiscence about Io but I don't think she's coming back. She turned herself into the tree that gives blood beads so unless they find another way to sate the blood thirst and change Io back she's gone
Could be foreshadowing the dlc not the first time they put dlc story after the games ending
It was more of a surprised "Io" than a nostalgic one.
Then again, It just might be because of the voice I chose for my character.
It makes sense Io came back. The only requirement is the memory to be restored. The blood bead tree is basically an old one.
Io might've came back through cloning herself, if you factor that she took the relic that Nicola's been holding on to. He was able to do clone himself due to its power. And since you restored all Io's vestiges in the true ending I bet she managed to maintain an identical clone of herself with all her memories attatched
I just want everyone to know that Nicola wearing his tiny hat in his relic form is the most adorable thing in the game
Imagine being a Revenant, A God Eater and a Humanoid Aragami.
*The power.*
Add in QUEEN-Class Revenant.
Ah and have scarlet nexus yuito's telekinesis power
If Soma where to see this, he might think of himself as more human. And doesn't blame himself before you help him out during the series.
@@ashurad_fox5991 well maybe
I'd probably just be a human origami think of the power well then again it also be cool to be like God Eater cuz like imagine the cool weapons and stuff
“And he thinks it’s the last time he’ll see her. Dummy” 😂
But after watching this I realized I fucked up my chances for the good ending. Didn’t save Nicola damnit

Rip how
“I dislike the characters of dark souls”
Me: cries in the memory of tarkus, solaire, lucatiel, anri, vendrick, the orphan of kos, kos, gherman, the doll, Emma, Kuro, Isshin, genichiro, the sculptor, hanbei, the oxen chapel dwellers, Eileen, Alfred, big hat Logan, the countless hollows and bosses, and of course, the chosen undead, bearer of the curse, slayer of demons, ashen one, hunter, one-armed wolf, and of course, Gael.
Except Patches. I’m kicking *him* off a cliff.
Allow me to clarify my opinion. I started googling images of those characters you listed and noticed that most of them were dudes in armor, grim looking old people, or monsters. I'm not saying there's no room to sympathize with or identify these characters, but I honestly prefer more youthful, aesthetically pleasing designs where I can see the characters' faces and such. Dark Souls obviously had its style for a purpose, but the fact that Code Vein gives us that style of game with a bit more cosmetic personality is right up my alley.
This...is...SPARTA!!!
You may kick him off a cliff, but really?
He's *unbreakable*
Forgetting the trusty onion knight siegward
Seeing funny quirky characters like Siegmeyer and Big Hat Logan either lose hope and give up or go mad and just stutter and mumble was gut wrenching.
The saddest part is that there were 2 apocalyptic experiments in the same world and both sides of the experiments never learned how bad experiments can become.
But if there is a sequel of both sides then it would be amazing to see revenents absorb blood from oragamis
It wasn't an experiment in God Eater that lead to the Aragami...it was already shown the Oracle Cells started evolving to the point where they form wild animals before they started forming Ogretails and the other mythology related Aragami. The whole thing about "don't pray to God in a world like this" that the characters say sometimes in God Eater could reference the fact that the Aragami's Devouring Apocalypse resetting the Earth is God's doing.
@@NecroticGamer117 bit late, but I think they might be referencing GE3 and the ash storm stuff being a catastrophy.
Though with that in mind I wonder how that interacts with the Jail of the Mist
I managed to get out of the Cathedral of the sacred blood to watch this.
Impressive!
I’m still lost, but I had to go home to watch this
Tell me about it. The layout of that zone was very confusing. Took quite a while for myself to make it out.

Another thing to notice, both the queen and Shio (Aragami Queen) have similar abilities and evolution process. I guess you could also point out the changes they have on the thorns of judgement.
Me: *wanna experience story for myself.*
Also me: I only have so few hours in the day god damn it!!!!
*hits the play button*
39:15 If you talk to the Restored Emily with yakumo afterwards, it's implied that she had timed her confession so that she wouldn't actually get to it before going statue. So, naturally as a friend, I had to drag her back to waking so that she can be awkward.
Also, Yakumo gets a (literally) hot Ninja Catgirl girlfriend. I am, if nothing else, an *excellent* wingman.
Bro, amazing job! This video helped me learn about so many things that i didn't know prior! A lot of the bits of information you brought up with the character's backstories i initially didn't know of. With the Thorns Of Judgement that's basically confirmation right there that Code Vein and God Eater is connected. So many people say otherwise however. That honestly made my night. You made connections that i couldn't. I'm subscribing to you for this video alone. Great content right here. I really want a Code Vein 2. With all my heart.
Funny thing is, an aragami appears in a cutscene, solidifying the fact in-game that the universes are one in the same
I love dark souls... I love God Eater 3. This is Dark Souls within God Eater. I now have to buy this.
Mido doesn't know about the god eaters and shion, just imagine him finding out the oracle infuse humans already a thing, hell there are multiple generations, Gen 1, new type, blood, (the Taiwanese one with the soul thing, we need a lore vid about the Mc for the mobile god eater) and the ash Gen.
The true end of this game somewhat explains a lot of what happens in GE2RB. Not just the inclusion of the word "blood" in a lot of it's materials, but a lot of other things that GE2/RB did in terms of plot and mechanics. The fact that the Psions taking vampyric traits/mechanics means that the Aragami interacted with creatures that have these traits.
So does that confirm that the Revanants get eaten once they leave the Gaol and never accomplish anything other than giving the Aragami a power-up? That's depressing. Well, Mido did nothing wrong I guess.
@@RegeroTerra Some Reventants yes, as the Aragami needed to have been in contact or eat them to take on their traits/powers.
Who's to say really? I mean Lindow and Louis have the same last name (Amamiya), so maybe Lindow is a child of Louis and Cruz.
@@RegeroTerra
I mean, the Red Mist was gone for a brief moment, so plenty of fast and relatively weak Revenants/Lost could've just escaped then and there and get eaten by Aragami all those years ago.
In fact, it was enough for Dyaus Pita to consume a single Revenant. His Oracle Cells could've simply dispersed later on and create individual colonies as a way of developing into a new species of Vampiric Psyons.
I wanna say I read somewhere that the group doesnt die to Aragami but to more natural causes. It doesn't help that neither CV or any of the GE games mentions anything that would place CV in a particular spot on the timeline. Like are the Revenants early proto GE or are they the successor group to the now extinct GEs?

There really are good characters in Dark Souls, and despite what all the edgelords want you to think, it is very much a story of hope just as much as it is darkness. One only needs look beyond the over-used nonesense of "its hard"
Autobot Skyflame Fair enough. Then it’s mostly the aesthetic that I’m not into.
@@otakudaikun Most likely because Code Vein is basically "Dark Souls Lite". Like, in my head I keep on calling mistles "bonfires" and kept on referring to the Cathedral as Anor Londo.
What prolly throws you off is that Code Vein in the end is a rather cheery games with all the friends you have around. Dark Souls instead puts you alone (most of the time) pretty much at the end of the world and you can do nothing to stop it. Instead it's up to you to choose how it ends. Does it ends as a prolongation of what is already there or do you allow the Age of Fire to come to an end so that after the Age of Dark it can begin anew ? With that grim perspective it's pretty normal that it doesn't appeal you much.
Lore-wise however Code Vein and Dark Souls are pretty much identical. In CV you start as some revenant like many others and then you find out you can reclaim those memories for whatever reason. Next you find out you're the one who actually put the Queen to rest which makes you an unofficial Successor. Depending from the ending you have the Continuity Ending (as I'd call it) which is the bad ending, Neutral Ending (where you take over Silva's role to keep the Mist up) and the Good Ending where you leave the Gaol of the Mists.
Similarly in Dark Souls 1 you start up as some random undead of whom there's many and after a bit of progression you wind up discovering a prophecy which involves ringing a Bell of Awakening. On the way to this prophecy you defeat a whole bunch of increasingly more powerful beings, which is quite unprecedented and much like the protagonist of Code Vein you find out that not everything is as it seems as there isn't one but two bells. Ringing them opens up the path for you to the land of the gods: Anor Londo (which is a bit less convoluted than the Cathedral in CV but I digress). At this point you've exceeded what is considered "normal" for an undead. You end up tasked in reuniting the fragments of Gwyn's soul (the guy being basically the guy who forged the land you're in) so you can get access to the Kiln of the First Flame and rekindle the fading flame (I suppose you've noticed the similarity with the initial "check on the Successors goal in CV). You do that, punt the final boss (Gwyn, or what's left of him) and you basically have a choice to make: rekindling the flame or letting it burn out, as by now you've learned that the flame will die out anyways, regardless of what you choose to do.
If anything Dark Souls 3 is even closer to Code Vein as it has a more fast paced combat, on par with Bloodborne.
The beginning is pretty much identical to the first but your goal is more straightforward as you're tasked with reuniting the Lords of Cinder so you can rekindle the waning flame (or not but I'll get more on that in a bit as this one has actually four endings, just like CV). Said Lords are those who in the past rekindled the fading flame just like you can choose to do in DS1. The process is similar here as you're in a noname undead who gradually rises in power up to to the point where you're an equal to these Lords. In the end after defeating the Soul of Cinder ( an amalgam of all the previous Lords who kindled the flame, much like Silva is an amalgam of the companions of the Successors and the Queen) you can again choose to rekindle the flame and prolong the Age of Fire (who here is really on its last fumes) or let it fade out.
However just like CV you have some less explicit ending choices. You can also choose to usurp the flame and take it for yourself or become a Lord of Hollows instead, as just like Code Vein's Revenants who lose memories and in the end their sense of self and can completely frenzy if not fed blood, turning into Lost, in DS undead stuck in this endless cycle of death and rebirth end up losing their humanity, turning into the Hollows you've been slaying this entire time. So you basically have four choices: rekindle the flame (Neutral Ending), let it fade out (Good/Bad depending from your point of view), Lord of Hollows ending where you basically embrace this state of perpetual twilight (equivalent to CV's alternate ending) and the Usurp the Flame ending who's an alternate version of the first one.
Both games really follow the same path: you're put the challenge to overcome impossible odds to fulfill your end goal and it's only through perseverance that you succeed. Gameplay-wise it's pretty much identical. You have the healing (estus/Regen Factor in CV), the helper (Shrine Handmaid/Lo), you can parry/riposte enemies (which are the the attacks you do with your own blood veil in CV). Some locations are heavily inspired by it as well. Cathedral of the Lost is clearly inspired by Anor Londo, the Ridge of Frozen Souls is really reminescent of the Painted World of Ariamis in DS1 and the Painted World of Ariandel in DS3 alongside with some areas of the DLC. Some bosses/enemies also are really similar, the most glaring to me being the Cannoneer/ Blade Bearer duo of bosses, clearly inspired by the iconic Ornstein & Smough duo from DS1.
Gonna stop there with the comparisons but yeah, the two are very similar. Main difference is that CV is a bit more forgiving that DS is. Dying bears no penalty except the loss of haze whereas DS penalizes you for that with the loss of humanity/embered state which makes it impossible for you to coop and also cause a decrease in stats. You can also pretty much have a companion all the time whereas in DS unless you coop you'll be alone 90% of the time. Quests are more on the nose in CV as well with map markers and the like, etc... Basically CV is a good "pre Dark Souls" experience. Personally I didn't feel lost in terms of mechanics with CV and I doubt that someone who jumps in DS from CV will be either.
@@primodragoneitaliano this game builds itself off the whole gloomy player/mc connection aesthetic and concept. i played a fuckton of DS1-3 long before i picked up CV and was pleasantly surprised with how similar the two are, with CV having a significantly steeper learning curve thanks to backstabbing and unlocked weapon swings being much harder to pull off. i-frames, as well as parry frames are pretty good though (at least on the default blood veil) and lore wise, they are practically identical with obvious differences. if there was an undead arena or pontiff type balcony with the ability to summon reds i would probably spend a lot more time on this game. it is more centered around the story than mechanics though, for the most part, and while dark souls only has cutscenes before you whack the big guys, CV actually has too many. the amount of loading screens is painful. overall i think it matches dark souls’ difficulty or higher, especially solo on NG+X ,depending on how much experience you have with this type of game, so i think the devs delivered.
Code Vein is amazing. I'm addicted to the game.
Going for the platinum in code vein also having a blast
I ordered the game on Monday and I can't wait to play it when it comes in the mail. I'm excited to play code vein for the first time
Same. I just completed it today and started a new file to use a different character.
I just completed the game after holding off and “taking breaks” from it for around a year and it has left a hole in my life
"Damn good reasons to fight..."
Boy kinda casul.
I think you uave ignored an important detail for the sake of those who don’t know about God Eater: Oracle cells cannot be destroyed by any conventional means, The God Eaters are called such as their weapons contain the very same cells but tamed, allowing them to consume the Aragami.
Which bores the immediate question how the Revenants were instead successful in fighting them. The only logical explanation is that the bor parasite could be oracle cells or something on the same wave, allowing Revenants to consume Aragami and even to repel them with magic.
Oracle cells have unlimited evolution possibilites, could it be that the parasite is a planet anti-body to it? That the queen was simply a Nova?
Yeah, I mean, the cast of Characters that are going beyond the Red Mist won't have any source of Blood since almost everything has been consumed by the Aragami, unless Murasame has that gigantic backpack full of BloodBeads, they are done for in the Next 2 Months of travel because they won't know any better....
Also, The BOR Parasite Can't be the Planet's Anti-Body Because the "Oracle Cells" are actually made BY the Planet to Reset Itself, Literally These God Eaters are Fighting against "Mother Nature"
The only possible way for that to be True is IF the Oracle Cells came from an Outside Source or Entity which is never Implied in the God Eater Games, At this Point they are Very close to writing themselves into a corner in the Story... ( Unless they pull a Neon Genesis Evangelion ending, meaning that they were always fighting a losing battle to begin with and everything resets anyways. )
So... Unless they Find a way to fully Stop the Earth's "Natural" mechanism to "Reset" itself, they Need to Use Code Vein to avoid getting into said "Corner" Story-wise...
It will all come down to Whether or Not the BOR Parasite Is indeed Derived from the Oracle Cells.
Or they save themselves the Head-Ache and say that they are in "Parallel" universes...
Edit : Also , Aragami don't have actual "Blood" for the Revenants to Consume and that's going to be a Huge Problem unless the Story writers starts to "Ret-Con" the God Eater Lore which will be my Cue to be done with the series IMO.
@@kamai9 To be honest, nothing says that Oracle Cells cannot be a substitute to blood, since Oracle Cells have the ability to replicate everything. The Aragami have blood, just look into some cutscenes, but it's ideally blood created by mere replication of the organism, they don't need it.
Ideally, the perfect cut in would be that the BOR parasite is just another way the Oracle Cells evolved, since if you take the story with a grain of cold logic, Revenants are biologically made to hunt humans. Lost are reduced to nothing but human blood hunters.
And this is the shocker: Mido was right all along, nothing says the Lost body anomalies aren't just Oracle Cells replications, and if you realize it, why there are no Aragami in the Gaol? The spires are there, the Oracle Cells should be around regardless as the Gaol is surely high but doesn't go all the way up in the stratosphere, and we all know Oracle Cells can safely travel to the frikkin moon and back.
So in other words, Revenants could be seen as another form of Aragami, and ideally if humans evolve full compatibility with the Oracle Cells, the Bias Factor would be annihilated and the apocalypse will stop as the neo-humans will be seen as the planet new Apex-Nova and thus the righful survivors.
EDIT: Also as an extra, we don't know, but ideally Io could be starting growing Mistles outside the Gaol, slowly expanding it. And the moment they met an human settlement like a satellite city, that's all the blood they need.
@@CrowMercury But What about the "Aragami Infection" if they "Consume" Oracle Cells without the Bias Factor?
They would need to find a way to safely drink the Aragami's "Fake Blood" without turning into one of those creatures themselves...
Blood Dragon Kamai Again, you are not considering the possibility the BOR parasite IS an Aragami.
Bias Factor is a fancy word for basically dietary needs. It tells Oracle Cells “ consume x to evolve”.
One interesting thing in Vein is that ONLY human blood stops the frenzy. Only that specific blood.
Now, what if it’s no bloodlust at all, but a Bias Factor of the Parasite? One resource none ever consider gere is Haze, never fully described, apparently the key to unlock Revenant potential, but apparently doing nothing in regards of maintaining sanity.
What if Haze is another name for Oracle Cells? Aragami has misnamed in the game after all. And the blood is needed to keep the parasite on the “human” evolutionary route.
Not to mention all Revenant magical powers would devastate God Eater lore...if not for the fact we saw many of those powers before. In ARAGAMI.
I’m fully convinced Cruz had Nova potential and the BOR parasite just awakened that. It elegantly solves all problems with the universes by having both lores come from the same roots, genetic discoveries of “new” cells.
Oracle cells are suppose to keep evolving until a Nova exist that rebirths the planet anew, but by the same concept none said it has to be violent. Revenants and Mistles will simply replace humanity with time, becoming their natural predators.
EDIT: Not to mention, memory abilities? We saw them in God Eater, as New-Type powers. Successor potential candidate may just be that, humans that have they stayed humans, would qualify as God Eaters.
Then again, I’m just speculating here. It’s not like I work and Namco and know their ideas. Still, I doubt it’s something they didn’t think through, it’s clear that the idea is “with their blood needs sedated, the Revenants will now fight the Aragami. “
@@CrowMercury The Resonance Powers that started with the Second Gen. of God Eaters, which is the ability to send "Data" between themselves through waves.
It's not that I'm not aware of the possibility of BOR being an offshoot of the Oracle Cells, but it would be very predictable imo...
I would personally like it better if the BOR Parasite was its own thing that has a unique interaction with the Oracle Cells, but that's me.
In regards of the "Blood Thirst" and why "Only" Human Blood is what's keeping them in check is because Humans are the only "Creatures" left in the Planet, the only creature besides Humans is the Cappabari???(Hamster looking animal) in the Second game, as Stated by Dr. Sakaki when He discussed about the possibility of training Aragami as "Pets" when He asked Kota if He knew what a Dog was in one of the Lectures, Or at least that's what I think is the reason why "only" human blood because there's nothing else alive, Unless there are a few surviving animals that are pretty well hidden that I don't know about.
On another note : What about the possibility of using the Blood Beads to satiate an Aragami's Hunger ? That would be very interesting subject to explore.
A good video to make sense of the many parallel stories that go on and are difficult to piece together. But you got some details wrong! I assume you are speculating on some details and have your own take, but I don't agree on them with the information given.
The timeline and revenant generations, first gen revenants are after the great collapse, when Aragami first showed up. There was research on the BOR parasite before the great collapse, but official "Revenants" were not created yet at this point. You can imagine a huge conflict of morals and human rights would prevent any further research to reach that point, before the world went to shit.
Mistles and blood springs are separate things, but possibly connected, but they share that their functions replenishes from Queen's blood. Mistles are not a part of the blood spring network, as that is Karen's creation.
Mistles are a creation of the still sane Cruz, they do not carry beads yet you are stating that! You left out the detail of their other purpose as well, they act as beacons for revenants to disperse safely to, and presumably, aid the regeneration process. Lost cannot disperse to mistles and presumably are repelled as well. They have excellent strategic and military benefit for revenants to fight horrors, where instead of dispersing to bumfuck nowhere possibly a long time later, you quickly return to behind safe lines, ready to enter battle quickly. After all, many revenants lived this way of repeatedly dying and dispersing back to safety, only to seek death again.
Mido: We don't actually know if he turned anything into revenants BEFORE the great collapse. Additionally, Yakumo, Emily, Miguel, Riki and the rest of the private militarist squad under Mido, were not revenants until after the great collapse. We can assume he pushed the boundaries of humanity without turning things into revenants at this point. When you talk on Yakumo's story, you correct yourself on this.
On the vestiges, and queen's relics, and the whole touching them, you don't frenzy because you are a void type, not because of Queen's power. However there is some connection of Cruz' ability, being a void type, the queen's power and or the attendants when it comes to weaving memories together to restore a will/bloodcode. We don''t explicitly know who this power comes from, but it seems that other attendants are aware that you can take on Vestiges to restore the memory within. If it was unique to Queen's powers, other successors would have been able to.
Eva: They crushed her throat because they didn't like her singing, if i recall correctly. Additionally, Jack and Eva are particularly compatible, hence why they were able to leave their crypts without fearing the same risk of frenzy as the others would.
Mido2: He was meant to be the successor of the claw, he used the relic to become what he is, but he is not carrying any relic anymore, thus not a successor.
Silva/Skullking: He only gets the relics of the successors you did not get time to see. The successors kept their relics until after the fight against the virgin born, additionally you are not fighting a "he" anymore, it's the Queen.
Io is who pulled the relics from the Successors, also allowing them to revert to their human form.
You also skipped the part where the good ending has a distinct difference at the absolute end if you restored all the Eos vestiges or not. Speculation and popular assumptation is that Io appears before you, to fulfill her promise of always being with you, even if you leave the mists as she as the weeping tree cannot be with you then.
Also you brush over the BOR parasites origin a little. Before the great collapse, creatures once known to be dead started walking, the process then dubbed zombification, they found bor parasites nested within their hearts.
Also it is worth adding that Code Vein is probably in New York, with the license plates, taxis, architecture, being on a coast and the fucking Manhattan bridge being there. And God Eater happens in Japan for 1 and 2 and in Europe for 3, so it makes sense that there is no connection between the games stories and explains why you never meet. Time wise Code Vein happens before God Eater 1's end, or else we would see a green moon. It makes sense for surviving organizations like Fenrir to have zero reason to travel far into Aragami territory on hope of finding survivors in a land far away.
What about the God Eater Manga that takes Place in Fenrir's "American Branch", where the Original owner of Kanon's God Arc is introduced, and the Boost Hammer made it First appearance way before the Second game was a thing?
Although it is possible that the American Branch is very far away from Code Vein's whereabouts or New York if you are right ....
@@kamai9 That is a good point, I didn't even know that was a thing, God Eater story is a mess and every piece of it is some usually independent piece built on similar foundations. It's most likely Fenrir would have gone to the West Coast instead of the East Coast, as it's geographically closest. I can imagine travelling over land over large continents to be much more dangerous than just travelling over ocean as well. Eitherway, in God Eater as far as I know, there is no mention of blood drinking undying humans with great power.
Also it's probably fair to assume that Code Vein and if it has any sequels connected closer to the God Eater universe, you can expect more things to be retconned or solidified. For instance the thorns of judgement only showed up in one episode of the anime, yet it's a "Yes this happened everywhere" in Code Vein. It's very possible we will see more things either changed or removed, or things that had been given less attention to be suddenly a mayor part of the world.
On the part about us/the player, being able to control and restore the vestiges as well as the mistle, I always assumed it was because unofficially, we were the Successor of the Blood, and it was just our unique ability, similarly to how Jack could see signs of Frenzy, Silva being able to Create the Mist, Eva with her singing, Karen with her bloodbeads and so on 🤔🤷♀️
They actually crunched Eva's throat to stop her from singing they found it annoying
Lol
That's so much worse!
You really are sleeping on Dark Souls. Your character isn't just Genetic Armored Knight. Dark Souls has one of the most compelling protagonistic arcs of all time.
meh,
I always figured that the BOR parasite was something constructed from the Oracle cells. They made a huge deal about how versatile Oracle cells were in the anime, so why wouldn't they try to create a cure for death with it?

*Remembers the young Lord from Sekiro and all that I gave to save him, as well as numerous fantastic characters I met along the way*
You know NOTHING Dai.....you know know nothing....
Blitzkampf - Sekiro is a great game. I’m just saying a game like CV happens to be just what I needed.
I was enthralled by this game once I picked it up about 2 months back. Unknowingly, I actually progressed to the True Ending, and sacrificed Io to become the weeping tree. After looking into the other endings, I realized I got the best possible ending, and after walking away from CV, I was touched by it's story. While not quite on the level as a game like NieR, I still feel CV was a blast to experience, and I'm glad to have gotten it.
Honestly your comments on the characters and story in Dark Souls are ignorant enough that I know you've only read the back of the box
Well, damn there was a lot to look into for this game but I can't say I wasn't giddy when I found out that God Eater and Code vein are connected. We better get a sequel or a crossover at some point because it would be cool to have anime vampires and anime monster hunters team up, both having plenty of waifus! Nice job with the video and......cries Io, you will be missed.
The new Game, for both franchise, "Code God Eater" or "Vein Eater".
Fun thing is that revenants, the folclore ones, are undead that are kept on earth by their need to do something they didn't manage in life, it's usually a revenge.
Edit: walking around today i thought about the words i shluld have used to make it to better corelate with the game. Revenants are undead kept alive by their duty (or want of revange, but duty feels more alligned with the game)
Also, thx OtakuDaiKun for the like :3
We'll you could say there duty is to be mankind's protector
I found myself listening to the music then I realized it's the God Eater anime intro
God eater was an awesome anime. I really enjoyed watching it
not only do we need a code vein 2 we need a series
The fact that Davis has the blackest guy name ever Tyrone makes me smile
The Knight of Green I’ve certainly never heard of a white Tyrone. I wonder where that name originated.
OtakuDaiKun it’s an Irish name from Northern Ireland that means “land of EOGHAN”.

I have a headcanon that Tyrone Davis is his full name lmao
Bro i will wait another 5 years and never stop hoping for a sequel
Lately I've heard people saying "iT's tOo eAsY". For those people , try playing the game without a partner. It's such an amazing game in my opinion
Yeah it's balanced for a partner solo is hell in certain bosses
@@shadowrosegaming3566 For real. Imagine going against Argent Wolf Berserker alone. His arena is so crammed and his attacks are half of it. The partner is there to take some of the aggro off of the protagonist. Btw, I gotta ask, how long were you in the character creation? Because, truly, Code Vein has one of my favourite character creators so I wanted to ask.
@@_nick.._.liachnis can't remember prolly 3 hours to make several favourite templates but its been awhile since I played so
@@shadowrosegaming3566 The first time I played I was stuck making edgy anime protagonists but then I decided to make the character look a bit more like me. All that took a while, a very good while.
@@_nick.._.liachnis I am playing it for the first time now. You can play solo. You get more exp solo which balances for lack of a partner. Plus healing after dodging a final attack is always safe.
Is called playing the game snd paying attention to every little detail let's be honest none pay attention to everything so good Video man we needed this
I was definitely pating attention to this game lol, I dont usually but tjos game was definitely different
I have a feeling they're going to do a DLC to continue the true ending but I hope they'll go for a sequel instead. Code Vein 2: beyond the mist.
I hope so bro i paid for that season pass and im annoyed west isnt getting the towel costume cuz some SJW bitched. I just want more story and Io back.
@jonny s they said sometime in november is the first major dlc drop so far im gettin annoyed and hope if there is nothing i can get some kinda refund
John Titor here, sorry to say that won't be the case :/
Hopefully the sequel is actually being worked on.

I'll admit that I'm not super well-versed in the lore of the God Eater series, but from what little research Ive done, I think its very much worth exploring the similarities between Lost/Aragami, and Revenants/God Eater. In particular, I think that BOR Parasites are probably made out of Oracle Cells, and are a type of proto-Aragami, and I think that the Haze that's released from destroyed Lost and Revenants is actually Oracle Cells, which is why the Revenants use them to grow stronger from defeated enemies, similar to how God Eaters, well, eat gods. I think the biggest evidence for this is that the Aragami you fight in the DLC not only fade away and give Haze just like the lost, but most importantly, they also have Blood Codes that you can acquire. I'd love to hear more thoughts on this from someone who actually knows about God Eaters.
Stopped watching after you said there are no good characters in Dark Souls
You didn't even name one example lmao butthurt souls fan

Your lore video of Code Vein had made me considered getting myself a copy of the game! Thank you for the lore explanation. ^^
Damn this was done so well good job man, so many times I try to explain this to my friends and get them to play but it’s just so hard sometimes so now I can direct them to this
*Yep, after seeing Dyaus Pita Renewal in the game, I really believe its in the same world as God Eater and would LOVE a crossover in the future, though I hope its with God Eater 1 and 2 Cast, because I want to see Yuu and Alisa in it.*
Also this is why I LOVE Japanese games far more, because it does characters so much better and lovable.
Well with the way they ended it in the true ending is say a cross over is highly likely that or some dlc hinting at a new game and what it will be like and finialy I don't care who they put as long as Alisa is in it oh and Io of course.
Unless the God Eater crew goes to the US i doubt we'll see the cast of 1 and 2 since they were went to Fenrir HQ (located in Europe) in the events of God Eater Online and Resonant Ops and shortly after leading to events of God Eater 3 and the ashlands basically preventing normal God Eaters from operating in the field for long periods of time. Currently the only cast that returned in GE 3 is Soma under a different name and the community so far is speculating if the crew of 1 and 2 are even alive at this point since Fenrir HQ had fallen.
@@YumeMegami we havent gotten any expansion on somas plans since the ending in GE3 he says hes been planning to get back to his friends in east branch.
As for CV i really hope we get some post story dlc i want IO back
@@ZeroOmega-vg8nq Aye i just hope it means the crew and not just the branch members. We do know Alisia is the branch director for the far east though.
Really informative, alot of lore I missed out on even after beating the game twice.
Dark souls solaire: am I a joke to you
good video but there are a few small details that i want to point out.
1. by keeping the BOR parasyte invasion confined to the heart, corpses were able to revive while keeping their sanity, however they can be turned to ash if the heart is destroyed, killing the parasyte completely and making it unable to use it's self-defense system: dispersal.
2. when some1 frenzies the BOR parasyte invades more of their body, completely taking over the hosts' body and turning into the lost. a side effect of this is that the lost effectively can't be killed since the BOR parasyte has spread over the entire body. it can always use dispersal to save itself no matter how the hosts' body is damaged.
Thanks for that, makes you wonder if there will be a way to the kill lost permanently or revert them back to a revenant
@@alvi9463 Oracle Cells. They could probably totally consume the Lost's body. An Aragami or a predator mode God Arc could permanently put down a lost.
@@conwaysquest6961 last I remember oracle cells absorb and incorporate into themselves the abilities and traits of whatever they consume would that mean that they would inherited both the powers and the thirst for blood that the Loss have🤔
@@alvi9463 That's entirely depending on the oracle cells Bias, and if the cells deem the trait as beneficial to their continued existence. Why I said that oracle cell devouring could kill a lost is that any devoured part of them cannot be reformed via dispersion, and with a big enough devour, you could theoretically consume and destroy the entire body before the BOR could even react. Oracle cells work fast.
@@conwaysquest6961 yea but lost literally cant die tho, they just turn to ash, has something to do with the parasite bonding to them on a molecular level, given enough time they could probably come back
I know you weren't trying to really fry or insult Soulsborne in any way, but I just want to say that your opening statements about the Soulsborne/Sekiro are awfully dismissive about what truly makes those games beloved by many. In fact, your comments about loving how Code Vein gives you small pieces of the lore that takes genuine thought to appreciate is so much more true for the Soulsborne games, which are notorious for their subtlety and having their cryptic lore hidden away in every piece of flavor text and descriptions throughout the series, making the game's story only as intrusive as the player wants it to be. The games accentuate rising up against nigh-impossible odds and slaying god-like beings, despite being an underdog that no one thought could defy the cycle of the first flame or the night of the hunt.
You're not limited to just being a knight in Souls games, either. You can be a darkwraith dedicated to bringing an end to the age of fire and ushering the age of man, a disciple of an everlasting dragon that seeks to find their own inner dragon, a Havel monster, Giantdad, servant of the chaos of Izalith, a fragile mage or pyromancer, or even that one guy who only uses katanas while wearing nothing but a loincloth. Customizing a unique or "meta" build is one of the most fun aspects of the souls games in general.
I don't know how I'd convince you that Soulsborne are anime enough. But even with the lack of anime style graphics/art, I think the Lady Maria, Saint Isshin, Midir, Sister Friede, Artorias, Gael, and Ludwig battles stand as as some of the best and most anime-like boss encounters in all of gaming, even more-so if you're using stuff like the Old-Hunter's Bone.
Also, the Doll, Firekeeper, Rice Loli, and Andre are A-grade marriage material. I would protect and care for them with my easily extinguished ashen/undead/dragonrot-stricken life.
tl;dr; give the games another chance.
Morfessa it’s mostly that I was responding to folks who were like “meh, Souls is better.”
Not likibg something for its aesthetic is completely valid. Its why i think god of war is crap compared to dmc
@@maxchaos44 Except I wasn't referring to aesthetic. I specifically addressed some points he touched on regarding lore, "all doom and gloom", the lack of compelling characters and reasons to fight for, and just playing a "knight or grisly samurai".
I think there's plenty of stuff Code Vein does well that sets it apart from Soulsborne. Most, if not all of the bosses are very high quality and very fun to play, gift system is cool, builds can be changed as much as you want, and much more.
Andre is more S-tier marriage material. You're entire paragraph is immediately devalued by putting him a tier too low. You were doing so well, too.
I was gonna write something out as well, but I find this to do the job well.
I love this game, hopefully we’ll get a Story DLC in the future someday.

Characters: oh no they are about to die
Player: FOOLS BOW BEFORE THE POWER OF THE PROTAGONIST!!!
P.S.
In this universe the earth has the oracle cells and the bor parasite. What else is hiding under the surface?
What else indeed
How about Supreme Calamitas from Terraria? Making the apocalyptic world even more apocalyptic, by incinerating towns, oceans and literally anything that cant run fast enough...
Damn re-hearing some of the heart breaking stories of these characters :'( brought tears to my eyes.
Still wont compare to my tears when i lose Io in the true ending. Give her back to me
A nice detail is that the blood codes from people are usually named after gods that suit their personality
for example karen? the women selflessly becoming a succecor and providing the revenants with blood beads has the greek goddes demeter (read up on her) witch fits so well (sorry for stating the obvious)
You notice something? The Thorns of Judgement are made of Oracle Cells and are giant Aragami. Oracle Cells have the ability to eat any form of matter, though each Aragami has a preferred food, they'll go for anything when hungry. They can eat dirt or glass or humans or whatever, literally ANY matter... They can even eat energy, seen when an Aragami eats a fucking nuclear explosion during the OVA of the first God Eater.
Notice another thing? The successors used the Thorns of Judgement to create their crypts... And the Queen/Virgin Born/Player can use the ability called Thorns of Judgement, in which the Queen simply creates Thorns of Judgement and fires them out.
BOR Parasites are capable of manipulating Oracle Cells, they are even capable of creating and destroying Oracle Cells, which should only be possible to be done by another Oracle Cell. The Red Mist straight up kills the Dyaus Pita, as it's just gone after it's engulfed.
Does this mean that BOR Parasites are the ultimate Aragami killing weapons? I know the game says the Aragami are beyond the Revenants, and they are, but that's just because of the evolutionary arms race. BOR Parasites can kill Oracle Cells and Oracle Cells can kill BOR Parasites... But now that they've been separated they can no longer interact and evolve to better combat each other.
Humanity is building the God Eaters and God Arcs to fight the Aragami, both continuously evolving. The Revenants are stuck in Vein, with no "new" foes to fight to evolve, meaning eventually the Aragami just... become too powerful for Revenants... Well, most Revenants, that is.
After all, our player character canonically fights Aragami, they leave the Gaol of the Mists (remember, within 60 seconds a motherfucking Dyaus Pita arrived) and the data mined DLC that adds multiple Aragami such as the Hannibal, it even has voice lines of characters like Mia reacting in shock to such a creature. Pretty sure the voice lines are on youtube and/or reddit somewhere.
Plus, someone pointed out to me a while ago the existence of the Blood Unit in God Eater 2 and the Blood Arts. Code Vein absolutely has to take place either before or during GE1, as the Moon is not green, meaning Shio is not there mass producing plants and other life. And she gets there at the end of GE1, so the epilogue of the True Ending takes place AT THE LATEST during the events of God Eater 1... Pretty sure the Moon suddenly turning green is a GIANT FUCKING RED FLAG that something has happened, and it would have been mentioned. Since it wasn't, I am confident that the moon is not green during the epilogue.
So, either God Eater 3 is going to have a Code Vein DLC, Code Vein is getting the God Eater DLC, or God Eater 4 will have Revenants or something to do with them... I highly doubt the existence of FUCKING MAGIC and ARAGAMI MURDERING PERIOD WALLS, IMMORTAL RESURRECTING VAMPIRES AND, once again, FUCKING MAGIC... is going to be ignored in this universe from now on. Maybe a few before they become common knowledge, but this game has basically guaranteed that the GE universe is about to undergo a massive change.
After all... Revenants can fucking control, create and destroy Oracle Cells at will once they get strong enough. As soon as any single God Eater or scientist sees a Revenant do that, or realizes through indirect means that they can do that... I don't believe it needs saying.
Guikoi To my knowledge Bandai Namco have stated that the CV and GE continuities aren’t the same. They borrow the same elements from each other, such as the aragami and a common origin, but are technically different timelines.
@@otakudaikun That's disappointing. Immeasurably so.
I absolutely love Code Vein and God Eater, and since they're in the same universe (though, as you said, differing timelines I guess) I was really hoping for some interaction between the characters.
Hell, maybe there can be! What about a Code Vein 2 where the Revenant MC joins the plot of God Eater 1? And their presence and powers changes the events heavily.
It's an alternate timeline, so it's not like it'll fuck with the main timeline. That's something that can be done.
But... does this mean the main God Eater timeline ALSO has Vein and the Revenants? I guess in the main GE timeline the Successor of the Blood never became the Successor of the Blood, and Juzo is killed before he fucks with Silva and so the mists stay up forever.
Man... Code Vein has started to get me back into God Eater because of my love for the Aragami. Your video has helped as well, since you actively speak of God Eater and the Aragami.
I love how Aragami and Oracle Cells work! They eat something and figure out how that something does the thing it does and then they start doing it as well!
Oracle Cells don't have DNA or RNA in the way we know it. They don't evolve in the same way we know it.
How we all evolve is based on natural selection. Let's say you release pigs into a forest, and there's wolves that will eat these pigs and control their population.
But the trees in the forest are all hollow on the inside, and they have an opening to allow the pigs to hide in them and escape the wolves.
But the holes in the tree are too small for big pigs to fit into, and so only the smaller pigs are able to live on and breed and so their children are also small and it continuous like that.
Oracle Cells on the other hand... they already have EVERYTHING. They already have laser beams and the ability to eat nuclear explosions (the explosion itself! Wrapped around it and gobbled up a fucking EXPLOSION! HOW!?) and they are already capable of traversing space with ease.
But they don't know HOW to do the things they can do. So they eat things around them.
Lava? Teaches them how to be hot and shoot fire.
Ice? Teaches them how to freeze their surroundings.
A tank? The Aragami is now a tank with nuclear missile launchers in its shoulders.
When an Aragami is "killed" (the core is removed), the Oracle Cells disperse and begin munching on any nearby matter, at least those they prefer. Though they can eat literally anything, they prefer some matter over others, but they ALL love humans.
These Oracle Cells will eat and multiply, and eventually they'll reform into multiple cores and Aragami, all of which will have the bonuses the dead Aragami they came from had.
You kill a Corrosive Hannibal, a year later the Oracle Cells from that Corrosive Hannibal has now become 10 Corrosive Hannibals that are even stronger and are now more resistant to your God Arc than they were previously... though your God Arc has also evolved to better match them, so your weapon isn't mad utterly useless after a single hit, but it IS less effective.
Honestly... I say if the Aragami were placed in another universe, something like.. Warhammer 40K, they'd kick ass.
Aragami aren't all that strong by themselves, it's the fact you can't get rid of them and that they become completely immune to your weapons after a few hits.
Specialized anti-Aragami rifle? Hits an Ogretail twice and no longer hurts it at all.
The only things in WH40K that could pose a real threat to the Aragami are the Necrons and the Warp.
Necrons because I'm pretty they have those "fuck you to oblivion" guns that erase shit from reality... But, Aragami can EAT NUCLEAR EXPLOSIONS! NO, I'M NOT OVER THAT! THAT'S SUPER COOL, BUT... FUCKING HOW!? Anyway... Aragami can eat nuclear explosions, so that means they can straight up eat energy! So... they might just be able to nom the "fuck you to oblivion" blasts and then get them themselves.
As for the Warp... the Warp warps stuff, it's kind of in the name. Orks can fuck shit up with shitty weapons because they THINK their weapons are good, because they use the Warp to warp reality.
So... the Warp Demons could probably just go "abrakadabra alakazam you cannot win because you can't do shit now" or something.
Then again... Aragami can eat energy... they can probably eat the Warp and then get Warp powers...
Maybe the Tyranids? No, that won't work at all. Oracle Cells don't have DNA or RNA of any kind, so the Tyranids can't get anything other than pure mass from them... and if they do that then they've just given the Oracle Cells an all you can eat buffet.
You see why the Aragami are overpowered as fuck? It's one thing when they can just eat matter and only matter. You can't use guns and shit against them because they'll adapt and then eat your shit and get your shit.
But they can also eat energy... Dragon Ball Z can't even beat Aragami! They'll just eat a Kamehameha and begin shooting them back! And Oracle Cells cannot be killed other than by other Oracle Cells (and BOR Parasites apparantly).
Oh fuck... I've just had a look at this response of mine... it's long.
Long Man Bad.
I'm too lazy to shorten it all, fuck it.
TL;DR: I'm sad now. Aragami are cool. They murder Warhammer 40K fuck you nerds.
Guikoi I think all it means is that they can be creative with CV and not retcon anything that happens in GE. Clearly the desire to connect them is there, which is the important part.
Maybe the BOR area type of Aragmi.
@@conwaysquest6961 They're not, as they can be killed just by stabbing a Revenant in the heart. BOR Parasites are immortal because they're able to disperse to avoid getting killed, which is how Revenants are immortal.
But you can still kill Revenants by stabbing them in the heart. This weakness doesn't exist in the Lost because the BOR Parasite is fully inside each individual cell, meaning there isn't any kind of "hit the weak spot for critical damage" area on them.
Aragami are made of Oracle Cells, which are completely immortal and indestructible except from other Oracle Cells.
The fact that if you shot a Revenant in the heart with a normal gun it would kill them permanently (in Code Vein this is deemed an actual threat to a Revenant's life) shows that BOR Parasites are not any type of Aragami or Oracle Cell.
Possibly related? Sure. Related like how we share DNA with bananas, but not like how we share DNA with chimps.
I just have one thing to say: *I HATE THAT GODDAMN WATER STRIPPER BOSS!!!* a sentence I never thought I’d hear myself say, but she’s such a pain in the ass!!
Oh btw, the full name of *Louis* in accordance to the EU server of Namco Bandai is *Louis Amamiya*
I'm not sure how far in the past this is, before God Eater (somewhere 2070), but I'm thinking they're related only because of the black hair (I know Lindow and Tsubaki have black-green hair but still)
I think Louis resembled a mature Ren.
As long as the Moon is NOT Green, it is Before the Ending of the First God Eater....
@@kamai9 the moon is green? In which one? I could've sworn it was blue/white in God Eater, unless you're talking about God Eater Burst, which could've been green because of design errors...
EDIT: I've looked it up... the moon is... slightly green but I could've sworn it was blue/white... but that's GE3 though gonna go back to GER and GE2RB...
@@GENeralGremory That's what Dr. Sakaki refers as the Greenefication of the Moon caused when Shio moved the "Devouring Apocalypse" , and Only a select few (Mainly the members of the First Unit ) knows what really happened, while everyone else are still wondering why the Moon looks so "Different"
Regarding God Eater 3... I'm just hoping that they don't start retconing the Lore...
@@kamai9 Oh yeah now I remember because we sent our lovely friend to the moon, it was blue on the battlefield, though I think that was a mistake (it was green on the first scene)
I'm really hoping for another God Eater with cameos or even major roles for some of the Code Vein characters
I KNOW HOW YOU FEEL OTAKUDAIKUN
CODE VEIN HAVE REAL SOLID CHARACTER & STORY
THE LORE IS AMAZING THEN I THOUGH
I had no clue that god eater was... a thing? So I'm quite thankful for the video to clarify some things that just didn't make sense to me or felt rushed in the context of the game. Like seriously, when things suddenly turned into attack on titan with the red mist wall protecting people from monster I was like "wtf? did I miss the part where they explain what those things are?".
On the one hand I kinda like the confusion the game puts you in sometime, forcing you to try to puzzle things together just like your character puzzles his lost memories.
On the other hand I felt that part was kinda poorly done and almost assume you know what god eater is.
random revenant with guilt: i...want to become stronger, i want to help.
mido: You must be the chosen one
*When you finally get all the endings and FINALLY get to see this without spoilers!*
"Louis is Karen's sister"?
beta deletos That’s the kinda dumb mistake I’m prone to lol.
@@otakudaikun lmao don't worry you made a great vid
@AnonymousGuy interesting that Louis is a guy, no?
Didn't know this was in same world as god eater. Man loved that game on the psp back during highschool. Now have to play this.
Thank you for making the video. I have completed the game a couple of times now but I was always left feeling like I was missing a part of the puzzle, and of course that is because I haven't watched God Eater. I will try to watch it now that I know it shares a universe with Code Vein. As for your reason for not wanting to play Dark Souls or Sekiro I share exactly the same thought. Therefore when, by mere coincidence, Code Vein was suggested to me on Steam I immediately added it to my Wish List but when I saw the Character Creator I had to buy it. And I am so happy I did. The game is awesome.
Thanks again for the video and for filling out the blanks for me.
And yeah, this is a very good game, but seems like the journalists just play the prologue and focus on the Cathedral area to establish his score
"I want companions that I can actually care about."
Me after giving 80 humanity to male sure Solaire is saved: "Excuse me!?"
@jonny s
Solaire was a companion character in Dark Souls who I cared about so much I farmed a very rare resource for quite a long time to make sure he survived the story.
@west
420 prayze it
@@dr.calibrations7984 That's one character. Code Vein has several of them.
@@gr13v0u5
You're pointlessly splitting hairs. Dark Souls has several characters that I love, I simply mentioned Solaire because he is WIDELY loved by Souls fans. I love Artorias, Sif, Ciran, Emerald Herald, Elsana, The Ivory King, The Fair Lady, Quelaan, Brass Knightess, Crossbreed Priscilla, and many MANY more. As far as squad mates in Vain, the only one I really liked was Yakumo. And Maybe Rin.
@@dr.calibrations7984 It would have been clearer if you had mentioned those characters before instead of only mentioning one. But fair enough.
code vein was amazing
Man where did all these anime scenes come from? The 2D ones. Is there an anime for this like God Eater?
@Skooma Cat ah! thank you.
Otaku: "Play this Game" "Its Dark Souls but with Anime"
Ok time to save up for it >83
Admit it: Nicola is that one successor you forgot to restore fully xD
It happened to everybody I played the game with lol
RukaPML | ルル Huh? I restored everyone as far as I know.
@@otakudaikun It is just what I heard from everyone that played, lol. Either way, that doesn't meam every player in the world forgot to restore Nicola. I dunno how everyone's first playthrought was after all.
@@PlayMyLifeOF I got The Good Ending on my first playthrough.
I'm annoyed that some of the bosses are random. I want to know the pasts of Butterfly of Delirium, Insatiable Despot, Invading Executioner, Argent Berserker Wolf, The Queen's Knight, Blade Bearer and Cannoneer.
I believe it was mentioned that the last two are Mido's creations.
I have to say dark souls and blood borne require thought too to understand the plot, lore, and what you fight for. Far more so in fact than code vein. That said it’s still a great story and game.
Xibyth I just meant it takes a unique approach that fully justifies its popularity.
@@otakudaikun So do Soulsborne and Sekiro. Your "subtle" bashing of the games supposed weaknesses was bound to backfire though. As much as I love Code Vein and would most definitely buy a successor, it is far away from telling stories and building worlds on the level of Myazaki and his team.
"I don't just want to fight, I want a reason to fight"
yup, can see why dark souls isn't your game (mine neither)
There are plenty of reasons to fight in the dark souls lore, to sum it up you are fighting to either continue the world as it is or bring about a new world with unknown costs to the current one. Choosing the fate of the world sounds compelling to me
In Dark Souls 1 you don’t really have a reason to fight, its more about atmosphere and adventure, with a few fun and quirky characters, as well as some gloomy or evil ones as well.
Dark Souls 2 I haven’t played.
Dark Souls 3 is probably the most anime feeling souls game, it has 4 main villains to beat, it has waifus, and you have a clear goal: get the remains of the lords and fuel the age of fire with them.
For what its worth, Code Vein definitely takes a lot of inspo from Dark Souls 3, having a large beautiful city/cathedral with multiple bosses and an interval stage with a great boss fight at the end. The whole successor and Silva thing was very similar to the lords of Cinder and Soul of Cinder. The combats way faster. The character customiser is actually fun to use and it has lots of options. Code Vein has better character design, while Dark Souls has better combat and worldbuilding. Their music is equal in my opinion, and making builds is a blast in both.
Damn you got a lore video about a Soulsborne-Like game out before Vaati.
Impressive.
I'm hoping this catches some sort of sweet spot in the algorithm.
@@otakudaikun Well it will definitely catch the Code Vein base and possibly God Eater's
Vaati is pretty damn slow when it comes to lore, he's almost always last with the 3 other channels I watch.
@@WhiskeyTango76s Still, the algorithm isn't doing me any favors. I'd love for my video to get even a fraction of the views that some "Code Vein Build Guide" types get.
@@otakudaikun Well this is my first time seeing your channel so it might help for you to know that when I typed in "Code Vein Lore" your video was the very first one to pop up so it may end up getting some more attention. If you make more Code Vein vids I'll definitely watch 'em, I ended up liking this game alot more than I thought I would after reading some of the reviews it got(which were pure bs, that or they had to have been going off the demo which would still be bs). I can't say that I enjoyed it more than DS, BB, or Sekiro but it's damn fun to play and watch and I hope to see more from the game(I also think it's certainly more than just a Souls-like game, I enjoyed it a helluva lot more than Nioh), like maybe something that explores more from Operation Queenslayer, Great Collapse, or have it take place outside the Mist with the Horrors. In this video you mention God Eater, is it connected to this game and focus on what's happening outside of it? If so then I'll check it out since I don't know anything about it.
Edit: Must've missed when you flat out say it at the beginning.
I L❤️VE CODE VEIN!!! I L❤️VE creating characters, I L❤️VE using the various Blood Codes, I L❤️VE the story, I L❤️VE the characters, and I L❤️VE THE FACT THAT THE GOD EATER UNIVERSE AND THE CODE VEIN UNIVERSE ARE ONE!!!

Imagine if the protagonist pulled an Eren Yeager and joined Mido to destroy the red mist and become stronger.
I just realized the first song is the opening for the GE anime heh...
i love the 8 bit code eater song on the background
