Please make sure all is well with yourself and family stuff first!š¦
From the perspective of CG scenes and injuries alone, I donāt think the scenes in Arc5 are truly more intense compared to the previous ones, even the scene with a bunch of mosaics in Orlamās room, or the scene with Orlamās heart bleeding, or the scene where Genzouās finger was cut... I'm sorry for my unhappy comment on tumblr about Genzou's finger, hope it didn't bother you. The reason why I reacted so strongly was that even though the scenes in Arc3 and Arc4 were more intense, Arc5 could still clear all physical damage with all chars' rebirth, but there would be no next Arc after Arc5 to eliminate physical damage. So even though the cut off finger was much "lighter" compared to being eaten twice, I felt much worse.š
And in my comment above, there is a part about "Didn't it go down, right?!!". This part is because when Orlam forced Genzou to tell him what he disliked about Orlam, if I stood from Orlam's perspective, I'll feel that Genzou had always been The act of keeping silent is simply because he wants to go against Orlam. As mentioned before in the game, I as Orlam, will think that Genzou wants to show that he is stronger than me so I am so worried that Orlam will actually chop off Genzou's arm in a fit of anger...š¢
Then I want to say that in Arc5.15 it is obvious that Carrot has spent a lot of effort, whether it is cg, animation, moves , standing paintings, or the real emotion you invest in each character, which is great! This is also the reason why OW is one of my three most important games. The emotional content present in it is very complex and real, and there are many authentic expressions (as a non-native English speaker, I need to think carefully to understandš¤£).
As for the reason why I kind of donāt dare to choose more options to get closer to Genzou, apart from Iggyās consistent dislike of physical contact, itās more about my own fear of āgetting closerā. I feel like Iām moving too fast. Iām afraid this act will push others too hard. Mainly I don't want to see any of them get hurt, mentally or physically.
Overall, I'm looking forward to the last part!! And hope that Carrot can handle the family stuff and become more relaxed and not be tortured by stress any more. Well,, stress is sometimes good stuff, but just don't let it break you, OK?š„ŗš(Also let me say it again, the new cg and music in 5.15 are really awesome!)
