“There is a jet in the building sir” “what the fuck did you just say to me?”

Here I am thinking your video of the MiG-31 was impressive. This is inhuman. Wow

Jesus, here I am googling the world record because I had an unbelievable run in a SU-57 hahaha. We’re talking a min past this lol

Both antagonists (i think Adam and Mother Sphere are antagonists of this story) has their ground and right on its own, so Eve must choose lesser evil. In my playthrough i chose Adam, as he in weaker position and tries to fix consequences of his deeds. And i think, if you read books ingame, making side-quests you understand that he is lesser evil (still evil) (he has passion, and actually human, which can make mistakes), while ME are cold supercomputer, which OK to destroy not only humanity but biosphere of planet.

Dude i know Adam did a lot but i can't shake this feeling like you were trying to villainize him way to much maybe way more than in lore

Like father like daughter guys Both need to go for good and the fusion ending is our best bet

Fun to listen. Honestly, I don’t think any of the endings felt really “good”. Adam felt off the whole time to me, and mother sphere does not correctly fulfill the role of “God” because she does not function based on morality, but practicality. I do believe that Raphael Marks is way too egotistical, however, I believe this to be the typical nature of scientists. They tend to struggle with morality as they care more about the learning process and their own goals rather than what is correct. With all this known, I would still say to take his hand. I disagree that andro-eidos are as human as organic humans. When I was playing initially, I maxed Lili and got to the endpoint choice. Neither felt good, but I took the hand. Interesting video.

I refuse to believe that any other ending fits the story except for "Return to the Colony". It perfectly sets up the story for a sequel and frees Eve from both Mother Sphere & Raphael Marks. Both of them are evil and I don't understand how anyone could think otherwise. The character that truly deserves a redemption arc is Raven. She is the one who suffered the most because of Raphael. It would be really cool to see her and Eve join together in the sequel to create a faction of enlightened Andro-Eidos that can take on Mother Sphere and maybe even find a cure to reverse the Naytiba experiments. The possibilities are endless with Returning to the Colony. Lastly, if Adam wanted to be apart of Eve so badly, why didn't he just sacrifice his essence to Lily by having her create a super weapon made of himself? It was already established that Lily can do this with Tachy mode. Why did he HAVE to merge with Eve and take away her identity; especially when Eve is finally starting to understand who she is? It's ridiculous and a fat slap to the face to have us follow the story of Eve becoming human-like in order to support mankind to then have that taken away by merging with this pathetic pseudo-savior. Adam had two chances to make things right and failed both times. Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me. Let Eve stand on her own merits.

Did Adam create mother sphere? If so why? To start the war? What exactly was his plan? Can you make a video deticated to explain fully Adams Plan and moves he made to achieve it?

This video is amazing It deserves more more nore views

Damn this game lore vids are amazing!

I’m taking ravens answers as gospel, Luther had a few questions also and looked how that turned out for him and everyone else who questioned mothersphere

lol… the real ending is the fusion ending. Mothersphere will consider eve obsolete and will throw her away for the newest version of humanity, mothersphere is a woman of the streets when it comes to mankind

Wow thank you for getting right into it. Something felt off, but what you put together here really helps solidify why

I understand the point you're making, but as you say "Mother sphere doesn't have to be the good guy for Adam to be the bad guy", the opposite is also true. According to the logs, Mother Sphere is the one that started a war against biological humanity, and it also knows the whole story but not only did it not pass it on to it's creations as it forbids anyone from researching about "biological humans". Neither were good, and both lied, but in all honesty, when it comes down to war/massacre, I'd rather stand with the ones on the defensive. Also, this game is heavily inspired by Nier Replicant and Automata, and in both the theme of "everything is a lie, nobody is good".

Personally I killer him my first chance bc I knew he was shady asf when the story started. I got tired of him telling me what to do.

It’s a good video, but a strongly bias one. I think that you actually despised Adam character, so you actually made him far far more evil than he was actually imply to be in the narrative and on the other hand pretty much downplay mother sphere sins by like a 99,9%. I mean everything he had done she had done but worst, and while it can be at least argue that he feel some remorse, is blatant that MS don’t give a s**t…

A really stupendous analysis of the story~! I do appreciate that Adam is the imperfect representation of the biblical father of the firstborn humans, Cain and Abel, who of course go on to commit the first murder. Much like how Adam is the progenitor of the Naytiba/mother sphere and thus the killers of humanity in a sense.

There's no black and white in the real world. I love the fact that, especially after you fleshed out the other side of the argument, that this is also true in Stellar Blade. Did Adam lie to his teeth and caused massive atrocities as a byproduct of his actions? Absolutely. Did Mother Sphere also lie to her teeth and caused massive atrocities deliberately for her purposes? Absolutely. The better question is to ask about intentions. What is Mothersphere's intention vs Adam's intentions? Sometimes consequences are relatively more forgivable (but not absolutely forgivable) if it's set out by the right intentions. As no one, not even Mothersphere can predict all consequences. Just as you said "Mother Sphere doesn't have to be the good guy for Adam to be the bad guy". The reverse is also true. Besides, whom is good or bad has no bearing on whether to take Adam's hands or not. Only the consequences do. And for surely, EVE had to choose based on limited information, as we all do now. The real right decision at that point is to neither accept, nor to kill Adam. There's simply insufficient information to make an informed decision. How would post fuse Adam/Eve be as an individual? How do Adam himself even know how it works? Even if post merge Adam/Eve becomes a god more powerful than whatever Mothersphere can throw at them, how does it create a new species of humanity? What are the ripple implications of all this. None of the ending are definitively good or bad if we have to consider all the butterfly effects beyond whats shown in the game. And that loops us back to intentions vs consequences. If it's impossible to predict all consequences, based purely on intention albeit limited information, should Adam's hands be taken or not? That's the real question. It'd be more of a god complex to judge the outcome of other's actions, including that of Adam's, instead of his intentions. As only those whom have never sinned can cast the first stones. And those with perfect ability to predict be allowed to judge regarding Nth order consequences. Based on whats presented in game so far, I choose to trust Adam's intention to be mostly good. And the objective of Mothersphere to be misguided. Her reclassification of humanity is not the intention Adam had when he created Mother Sphere. It's a classic case of AI misalignment - and shall this be a forewarning to us all as we venture into the realms of AGI and ASI ourselves in the real world.

shift up forgot in todays world we don't really care about preserving our species much lol that narrative is long gone

I’ll watch this video when I fully finish the game. I have spire 4 left to do.

😂😂😂😂 I’m out

Hey bro, how did you get that outfit at the beginning of the game

I'm surprised this video only has around 500 likes; I knew something was off about Adam's character, but never put more time to dig deeper. Good insight man; this game does have a story, it's just people aren't inclined to figure it out because the game was created by Shift Up. If games made by From Software have stories; this game definitely has a story.

So in other words Adam is the ultimate Korean fuckboy

So, ultimately, this is a story of the conflict between the immoral (Adam) vs the amoral (Mother Sphere).

😂 great catch figuring out Adam was dirty. I aint trust him off his look & attitude but when he said to not open that disk i knew he was up to something.

I knew he was the villain from the beginning of the story, as someone stated to me: “A true devil comes with a lie and a smile.”

From with Adam or Mother Sphere human civilization was screwed at the end of the day. Sadly Pawns of a chess game that has gone too far more matter what ending you got

this is a real breakdown

Well now I don’t like Adam even more not just at the end of the

🤔I really enjoy your video, it really puts all of Adam's lies out there and how he used, raven his most loyal servant, orical his best friend, and eve just to make himself feel better for what he started, if he never made mother sphere the war and humanitys fight for survival wouldn't have happen, yes you could say mother sphere is just as bad as Adam since she drop a whole colony down on earth to kill the naytives or the fact that mother sphere was sending down her creation to stop Adam but not telling them the whole story thst they arent humans and you guys are killing the real humans the naytives, but the truth is she was created by Adam which means she would do and act like her creator would meaning all the bad mother sphere did is what Adam would do if he was leading instead of mother sphere, well now all we can do is wsit and see what happens in the sequel, my guess now that Adam out of the way mother sphere would try and fully take control of earth in Adam's place since he was the only thing stopping her from as she started guiding humanity to a better future same lines as Adam lol.

Great video. I just came across it today. I finished the game about two weeks ago(Platinum the game), and man, I tell you this game is more than boobs and ass. From the very beginning, I did understand the biblical references, but the game is deep. I'm playing it again because why not, I need to collect everything. There are some memory sticks I missed.

Excellent video my friend. Choosing Adam never sat well with me and I'd admit I didn't read every scrap of lore, which clearly shows Adam as the devil. Mothersphere isn't benevolent, but her goals more closely align with the preservation of humanity. Again excellent video and the premise is 1000% agreed.

I always hated Adam

Best Stellar Blade lore video yet❤

I knew off my first playthrough brother man was SUS brother was talking weird n was being too mysterious

People tell me the this game's story is non-existent. LOL. Great video man. Now I'm questioning... On my first playthrough, I refused his hands, because my guts tell me to refuse. Partly I was afraid I had to fight Lily and kill her. I care about Lily more than Adam. But everyone is saying taking his hand leads to the best ending... I think a lot people think taking Adam's hand is the good ending because the game makes it feel like it's the best ending, with Lily inserting the last hyper cell, and everyone's happy in Xion. Hmmmmmm...... Bottomline is : Can't wait for the sequel !! Again ! Great video !!

Do you have to be so unforgivably mean & cruel to Adam? He had good intensions as we see in the "Save Xion & Fuck Mother Sphere" Ending [That's what I choose to call it] with Lily surviving, of course! We see that he was true to his word and Eve is still the same person even after the fusion.

One thing is that I wonder if Raven attacking Xion was part of this plan. He definitely meant for Eve to fight her and take her Alpha Core, but I think he meant that to be her last core instead of Oracle, not expecting the Demogorgon core to be lost in space. Plus sinse she attacked and defeated Oracle, her rampage could have jeperdized the Cradle. But I think he left to go deal with it, then decided that her ramage would be a good way for Eve to get her core anyway, and even if Raven jepordized the Cradle, it was a setback that could be rectified later.

I think that the mother's sphere is the next antagonist Eve going to confront

Biblical references. Adam and Eve. If everything you said here tracks, then I guess if he was named Lucifer, it would've been too obvious. Either way, the PC port can't come soon enough.

I didn't take his hand just cause I don't like him but you've convinced me, he really didn't help anyone.

You make a strong argument but what about the fact the Mother Sphere turned on humans? I always interpreted it as merging with Adam was the lesser of two evils because Eve gained the power of the Elder but kept her own self in the process. At that point she’s powerful enough to bring down mother sphere and cleanse the earth of naytibas and restart the next evolution of humanity. Now I’m not so sure. I think the writers need to release some additional lore so with can know because I loved the story to Stellar Blade and would like to have some solid closure on it.

I think it's still the good option to fuse with adam. EVE has the possibility of not being a POS with her new gained power. The new emotions she felt prove that andros aren't human enough to kill off all human remnants. EVE could be the right person to take Adam's spot, he's gone either way so why not let someone with better motives take over.

I still can't outright support Mother Sphere ambitions either. The true catalyst behind the initial war between humanity & the Andro-Eidos is still a mystery. Her continuous suppression of information pertaining to the truth is very much intentional, and seemingly designed to drive EVE to complete the EVE Protocol. Fusion brings about that completion, but the reason behind that necessity is an even greater concern.

So there are the two endings, choose his hand or not, fuse with him or not, which i feel has some darker unshown side effects. Eve feels fine, but i think that's because Adam is taking a backseat but will eventually fight her for control of the body. Adam is a naytiba right so he's bad, so while yes, Eve is told to hunt naytibas by mother sphere, i think the best ending is Eve breaking free from both Mother Sphere and Adam. I think Adam was just trying to save his own ass at the end so he was like, "Fuse with me, and you technically kill the elder naytiba". Eve standing on the globe at Xion is also like she's acting like a megalomaniac God. Im working my way to do my third ending of below 70% Lily progress. Also what's your understanding of the end credits saying " their journey continues " when you join Adam and "the journey for truth continues" when you kill adam? Also you get the symbol of legacy for choosing Adam, the earring says "A seed of the new mankind to come, and the harbinger of salvation for all". Hmm. Maybe. What if Adam is a changed man, and he HAD to lie to Eve, because I mean she was obedient to mother sphere, so he had to lie to get her to see the truth of things. I mean yeah he brought it upon himself and humanity but if the game is insinuating he relinquishes control to Eve when they fuse then cool but if he's still in Eve subconsciously or consciously it could be bad.

I knew mothersphere was evil after reading some texts and propaganda posters in xion. And the scene where raven told the truth about mothersphere this makes everyone shocked even Lily. I got a guy feeling that they're evil from the start.

My first playthrough reading everything and paying attention to the story, when Adam asked Eve to take his hand, I said, "Oh fuck no!" out loud. My gut told me everything about him was wrong. I'm curious to see where the story goes from here. This is easily my game of the year.

Whoah that's a damn fucking perfect play, when the pilot and the aircraft are both best
