Ew that ' s what uspez looks like ? <| sep |> how many of you actually played the Anarchy Route before judging it ? I ' m pretty sure a lot of people started liking it less after playing it . Sure , people knew the general massacre plot before playing the game . But it wasn ' t until the game came out that many realized that you get dark neutral points for more or less dick answers . Or just how apathetic dagda was to human suffering , combined with more disdain for anyone even slightly disagreeing with him than anyone in the series but yhvh . Or the fact that unlike krishna and the divine powers who try to reassure them , you don ' t say anything explaining yourself to the humans you fight at all . They have no clue what you plan to do with them , and dagda calls them disgusting no less , making your purported benevolence questionable at best . And its more than a little distasteful that you forcibly turn someone you killed five minutes earlier into your sex slave . Which despite ambiguity there ' s only so positively that that scene can be read . There ' s a few good aspects of the ending , but both of the endings were a disappointment . I ' m not sure if you ' ve been aware of this , but this is probably one of the least morally heinous routes in MegaTen . Its the opposite if anything . Not counting the white , this ending is unique in actively having an attempt to cut half the population off from reincarnation permanently . That alone makes it one of the most suspect endings . On top of the lack of much in the way of real benefits that justify the genocide . To even remotely make it seem good , you have to just ignore that the demons even matter , or the overt fact that returning to their original form is established to be considered death for them in strange journey . For one thing , the Law Path in IV is literal genocide . Oh but the genocide was for a goal ! That doesn ' t justify the genocide . ever . I ' m legitimately confused how these two things are supposed to be reconciled . Regardless of what any potential goals are , massacre has a much bigger genocide than IV law did . Also , you know , law actually does have good logic behind doing it . Unlike dagda . Who people have to make up reasons to consider his ending good , since the real one was borderline retarded . In SMTIVA , you depose YHVH ' s influence , and take over the Universe as the New God , and you endup saving it from eternal genocide , eternal wars , and basically everything the White repeatedly warned us about and the chief reason all the other gods were pissed off and wanted to take back control . You ' ve saved the universe from eternal , endless wars and genocide . No more Genesis and Revelations in order to make obedient servants . No you don ' t . You cause much more suffering than on bonds . The game is pretty straightforward about this . You started an eternal war against gods , since they will and already are try to resurrect and make a place for themself , and you are trying to continually get rid of them , and can and already plan to involve humans directly in the crossfire . The people in bonds are not slaves of yhvh anymore . He ' s dead either way . They aren ' t living in more peace here . They are living with more individuality and self reliance . Whatever that means . Too bad they are still being used as your slaves . No matter how long you cling to trying to interpret the ending in a way where its about making a new peaceful world its not going to become true . The game made sure to mention the upcoming struggle like six times since it knew people might think that if it didn ' t .
