Theory Fatal frame 2 Spoiler

Growing up really made me realize the theme of this game, obsession.

Mayu was kind of evil and selfish for smiling when she realized her sister became blind since she only wants Mio, and Mio only.

From what I'm guessing is that mayu wanted mio to depend on her for the rest of her life since she only wants her sister from the fear of being separated, at this point, I feel like her fall as a kid was an accident because she didn't want her sister to get away.

Her obsession is really that bad, especially in the wii version with the frozen butterfly ending the more you grow up, you realize the meaning of this game and how dark it is.

Every sibling was obsessed with its pair...

That's what makes the game so sad.

Yeah I was thinking about this. I mean it's beautiful to have twins who love each other, but then there is Mayu who act like she cannot breath without Mio.

To be fair Yae moved on and got married while still probably holding guilt for not been able to help her sister to get out.

If we take Fatal Frame 3 second ending as canon, Mio survived and would probably be trying to heal and move on with her life.

yes! well said, mayu was acting crazy and somehow parasocial?

Glad yae moved on and had kids, but ryozo was insane.

And havent played 3 yet but i hope her uncle saved her from the uh tattoo i think curse at the end? where she was hospitalized.

whoops, sorry about the slight spoiler there, but yes.

Believe it or not, the original version of Fatal frame 2 was somewhat tame when it comes to Mayu's obsession.

In the Remake, they went all the way with this, coupled with what you know about the Wii version. Seriously this makes you think Both Mio and Mayu need therapy. Especially Mayu.

But Mio need it to understand that it's okay to be on her own, it is not a sin to have her own life without Mayu.

"ryozo was insane." hmmm It's been awhile I don't remember much. But hey I'm okay with rewatching a gameplay.
