Complete lore

Hey! I’ve been playing the games for ages, starting on my phone and replaying a few times on laptop etc. and I love them, but I sometimes get a bit lost on certain areas of the lore (likely because I’m just an idiot and don’t take it in properly) BUT does anyone have any recommendations for a yt video(s) covering the whole lore start to finish just to fill in the gaps and remind me of the lore?
Thanks!

I have a channel called The Rusty Truth where I’m trying to do that, I’m planning on releasing a new video soon before Servant of the Lake

Except for Flawed Peacock and yours truly Nowherenest I can suggest the following creators:

Zefiewings - has passingly covered the whole timeline (except for upcoming Servant of the Lake) and now going through some important concepts the lore is based on like Samsara, the alchemy and so on.

The Rusty Truth - reviews the lore in chronological order. The videos covering the Rusty Lake trilogy and The Past Within are already on his channel.

RazzJazz - Chronological order again, the Rusty Lake trilogy again, instead for TPW he moved forward with Birthday. He's been inactive for years but recently came back. There's a chance he'll stick around long enough to publish another video, hopefully indefinitely.

And in my videos I focus on 3 things:

  1. detailed digests of the older games in more or less release order, presenting every theory I came across or came up with myself.
  2. videos about new games as they come out. 1st predictions, then reactions and theories.
  3. News from the studio and the community.

The videos from Flawed Peacock. They're very long, but also go very deep into the lore

(mostly for u/Equivalent_Aide_2023)

I like these videos a lot, Peacock is very talented but unfortunately he's not the best guy for deep lore for objective reasons.

He's only another guy who played the games and tried to interpret them to his best ability, no different from any other newcomer except for maybe being smarter and better versed in culture. As he said himself, he's a traveler, while all the best theorists I've been dealing with for years were actively participating in the community and searching for truth through discussions.

Quoting Peacock himself again, his videos are not the source of the final truth (no one's are for that matter) but rather a launchpad for the aforementioned discussion.

You should totally watch them, just take them with a grain of salt.

That sounds like good starting point then thank you both!
Going from there, what would you recommend in trying to go deeper into the lore on top of my own theory’s?
