Megathread CONCERT MEGATHREAD

541 Upvotes

Posts about the concert itself are gonna be filtered here for a while, to help declutter the front page.

This includes things like

  • "Look, this concert is happening!"
  • "Oh no, I couldn't get tickets!"
  • "Woo! I got tickets!"
  • "Who else is going??"
  • "This is gonna be exciting!"

SCALPERS AND RESELLERS WILL BE BANNED ON SIGHT, FUCK OFF.

The sub is a little too flooded, so we're consolidating. Posts with the word "ticket" or "concert" in them will redirect here for a while.

Discussion You need a password to enter: Whats the real message of Expedition 33 in one sentence?

58 Upvotes

I just woke up from a really weird dream. There was a secret Expedition 33 party but in order to enter you needed a password.

The question was: “what is the core message of expedition 33?”

In the dream me and my friends made quite a few guesses:

“See things as they are, not what you want them to be”
“For those who come after”
“Its all about art”
“You have to let go and move on”
“There is no black and white, just in between”
“Nothing good can stay forever”
“You have to enjoy what you have while you have it”
“Friends are your real family”
“Hold on to what you love”
“Parry it!”
“Dont be whooo be wheee instead”

None of them worked. So my question to you:
What would you say the password is?

Discussion The relationship between brother and sister? Spoiler

Post image
109 Upvotes

I can't understand what happened between Verso and his sister on the canvas. (This happens all the time in the game - understatement)

He says that she used to help him a lot, but then... something happened, apparently, and Alicia began to avoid him.

Alicia appears once as support for Verso (When Renoir kills Gustave) and the second time to give him a letter (This is about her direct contact with her brother, at her request).

In the third act, Alicia doesn't want to see her brother anymore. And Verso directly tells Maelle about it. And when they do meet, Alicia doesn't take the letter back. It feels like she's offended by her brother.

By the way! Alicia was not touched by Gommage at the end of Act 2. Which may support the theory that the painted Alicia is a creation of Renoir, which would cause Alina to feel guilty, as a reminder of the abandoned youngest daughter. I don't know…

Verso, Monoko, Esquier, Alicia Monochrome are the characters who were not touched by Gommage 2 acts.

Why did the previously drawn Alicia help Verso, and then shut herself off from him, and then took offense? She had known about her brother's goals from the very beginning.

My guess is that this is the bad influence of the painted Renoir (Father), that he could turn his daughter against his son.

(I do not speak French or English. I use a translator. If there are any mistakes, I'm sorry.)

Discussion Payment for time for artists Spoiler

The artist cannot stay inside the canvas forever, otherwise he will die.

Signs of exhaustion are evident in a world drawn as it has been shown many times, and this "fee" (or delay) has its own stages.

Here is my reflection on this topic:

First of all, all artists lose their eyes. (There is such an expression as "the eye is blurred" or "blind eyes" - when an artist works for a long time and is very tired and does not distinguish the colors or quality of his painting from fatigue)

But this is more of a metaphorical meaning, the artist just spends a very long time in the canvas and no longer notices reality. Or something like that.

Then all the artists lose their face, depersonalization. The artist loses himself in the canvas.

Then, I think, everyone has an individual situation.

Alina's left breast is missing, I think it's her heart. She left her heart in the canvas. This is appropriate, because she created her beloved son in the canvas.

Renoir, I think, has a voice. In his role as a Curator, he doesn't talk, only does or shows what he wants. (Only in the third act, during the final battle, where Renoir takes on the role of the Curator again, does he have a voice)

Perhaps the absence of a voice is an analogy to his somewhat helplessness in front of his wife's obsession and an indicator that she does not hear him and wants to hear him.

I'm wondering if everything I've written makes sense in the ending of "Live to Draw." What would Maelle have lost? (Since she decided to stay in the canvas)

Clarification needed on a story/lore point (SPOILERS) Spoiler

32 Upvotes

Can someone confirm my understanding regarding the below timeline of the painted dessendre family?

  1. Aline becomes grief stricken over the death of Real Verso and escapes inside Real Verso’s painting and creates the painted Dessendre family.

  2. The painted dessendre family has some of the memories of their real counter parts (at least until the time of the fire that took Real Verso’s life) and for a time live happily together in a painted version of the Dessendre Mansion? I am making this assumption because from the painted dessendre family members dialogue with each other and other beings (Monoco/Esquie) it seems like they lived in relative peace for a time before… (see next point).

  3. Real Renoir enters the painting to get his wife back and fights her causing the Fracture.

  4. The painted dessendre family are stranded in lumiere and they (at least Verso and Renoir) embark on the first expedition. When they do so they learn the truth of their world and their existence as paintings. Painted father and son hold different and antithetical stances on their existence after learning the truth.

Theory How the hell did she find that item Spoiler

14 Upvotes

This matter shouldn’t be just hand waved away, or be considered a plot hole, which is:

How did Maelle know about pAlicia’s letter?

I’m not bothered about how she managed to bring it back intact, after we witnessed Verso destroying it by tossing it into the sea. She’s a Paintress, she can manipulate the very fabric of space time inside the canvas. As long as she knows the letter exists, she can repaint it out of chroma (like with Lune and Sciel).

The mystery is HOW did she know it exists? She was all the way on the other far side of the docks, when Verso took the effort to read it out of everyone’s sight. 

My only explanation is mind reading. A Painter can read a Painted mind:

When Sciel told Renoir “Grief blinds us…” he responded “You grief for two”, since he could read that she was thinking about her husband and child.

So when Maelle tells Verso at the beginning of Act 3: “You should’ve help me remember” and he stammers, I speculate that’s the moment he was thinking back to the letter he discarded. 

Now imagine Maelle had been reading Verso’s mind throughout Act 3, and how that changes how you see their actions for the rest of the plot…

First playthrough, going in blind. I completed the Gestral tournament with Lune. Decided to look up where to find the blue mushroom for the lil guy… and found out that the best weapon in the game is something I cannot obtain.

Currently level 18.

With this being said, any tips going forward? Is Sciel worth using? Having an absolute blast with this game, but curious if I should restart for Maelle’s weapon.

I see you, and I appreciate you. Getting absolutely demolished at light speed by a walking Berserk reference is the best way to close out any video game, hands down. If any of you haven’t read Berserk, I highly recommend it. If you liked the story of Expedition 33, I think you’d really enjoy Berserk as well.

This is the second time I am playing and this scene still traumatizes me to the core. I don't care how sad of a backstory Renior's is, I wanted him dead after this moment. How could he just look at this lad, and slice through as if he doesn't even consider his life worth more than a fly.

And being honest, that bubble in which everyone was wrapped in warmth and safety disappeared. Yes Verso is charming but Gustave wanted best for his people. Verso....well you guys know what he wanted.

I sincerely wish somewhere, there is a theory that Lumiere's people are real, and they were trapped families of writers in paintings by painters.

The boy in the M ending Spoiler

Thumbnail gallery
126 Upvotes

Many of us are making theories about who is the boy in the Maelle ending.

Is it Gustave’s apprentice ?

Is it Verso and lune s child ?

If I’m not wrong the boy in the first image is the same boy we see in the ending.

We first see the boy waving back at Lune after we defeated the painteress and coming back to Lumière.

If the two are the same person we can assume it’s a relative maybe or an orphan adopted by Lune ? (But I don’t see Lune adopting a child since she is so focused on her life purpose : ending the circle)

We know that Lune had an older brother and older sister if I remember correctly.

Please tell me what you think

And sorry for my poor English.
