What's up, RMers?
While playing through some of my own scenes, I landed on one I could reasonably share without much spoilers. Although it is ENTIRELY nostalgic lore dump (Menagerie: Remastered's release is now almost ten years ago.). it does address the characters in their modern senses, showing how far they've come from the naive scared children into the blossoming adults or in Fyori's case, sinners- they once could only aspire to be.
Nostalgia of Evergrove
Also seeing Evergrove in not MsPaint Graphics sure is something!
This sure is a lot more of a fun scene if you've played Menagerie: Remastered, but because the basic jist of the Menagerie is already solidified by the time you reach this scene, it's not as bizarre as it may seem when watching it in isolation.
But yeah, this more or less serves to show that from Menagerie, where these three were muddled messes, without any idea what they truly believed in... Now they are so in their element and living their best life. Fatty is still going on crazy adventures, Fyori has a girlfriend and is swinging wildly, and Gerald is there to be a beacon of hope and an unpaid mercenary for the peoples that despite dying and being dead for centuries, he still wants to protect.
The amount of confidence and understanding these characters are swimming in, where before, pretty much all of them felt like fish straight out of water, it's perfect. it shows an evolution to the characters and that they became everything they wanted to be, and got well rewarded for their efforts and struggles in life.
Also the elves? Still just a gag, but still funny. There's nothing you can say that will ever make me want to treat wood elves as anything but tradition-bound tree fucking ferrets. With the exception of these three, the ones who were responsible for raising Fyori to age 15 and Fatty from 5 to whatever age he was by the time he had to leave (I honestly forget).
It's sweet, comedic extra payoff to a game which already had a pretty clear conclusion, but that the characters are all still here and having a blast is so comforting.
While I'd utterly love to recount what a truly hopeless parent Blu was during this entire thing. That can wait for another video.
The fact is that: despite every custodian's efforts, these three all came out winners in life and death both. Spooky, the Alien who isn't in this scene, he was the only one with a parent he cherished and who cherished him. Fatty, Fyori nor Gerald had that.
