"One can die many times and live passed death" What an absolutely phenomenal quote.
It is quite good, if we do say so ourselves!
Alicia: *waxes poetic about the connection between stars and seatravel*
Me: "Okay but also it's a STARSHIP and I won't stand for this pun to go unappreciated"
Damn, why didn't we think of that. Thanks for sharing this important detail.
this analysis was amazing, something i also thought of while playing was that the moon is often associated with illusions which links back to the level ‘forest dub’ where she hallucinates a chase scene with the wolf gang
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it and made you think more about this lovely little game!
My singing at the end is impeccable.
The best, love.
Cheers love! The chorus is here!
I cannot begin to describe how hard The World We Knew hit me. It still brings me to tears to this day.
The first time I heard the full song I completely broke down, it was that beautiful and emotional.
Sometimes the world we once thought we knew, will never be what it once was ever again.
Absolute banger!
Now that I know what the Fool's Journey is, I'm realizing that it maps really well onto having your egg cracked.
Do you mean literally cracking open an egg and cooking or is it this some metaphor I'm unfamiliar with?
@@ender7278 It is to realize that one is trans
Because of persona games, i kinda knew about the fool’s journey but I never understood in detail what the cards meant together in Sayonara Wild Hearts both plot-wise and metaphorically. Thank you so much for this video!
And thank you for watching! Glad you got something out of it!
1:33 WAIT THERE IS AN ACTUAL PLACE THAT LOOKS LIKE THE ONE IN THE GAME
THANK YOU, someone finally commented on us going to Värnhems falafel! It was actually a whole day trip.
It's in the Swedish city Malmö, where the developers work.
I've only been recommended the game for aesthetic reasons (fair), but hearing all it has to say from you really sold me on it! Based on this video, I think it may be more healing to play than Florence
Glad we could sell you on this awesome little game!
Whaaaat, more Sayonara Wild Hearts content??? Can't wait to see this
We are here to deliver!
@@Transparencyboo It was really good, thanks. Going to have this soundtrack stuck in my head for a long time.
@@ThatJess To be fair there are few better soundtracks to have stuck in your head, haha.
Whomst among us hasn't gotten drunk and bought 9 katanas
Very good point. We already have two, so we are getting there.
While I don't personally believe in Tarot, it was a really cool medium to tell the story of this (Amazing) game and your explanation really helps with the understanding of some of the allegory! Thanks!
Oh yeah, we don't really believe it either. It is more like a fun thing that, like you say, the game took advantage off amazingly :) Thank you too!
I have only seen 6 mins yet, but I've already learned so much about tarrot cards omg. The arcanes in Persona 5 makes so much more sence now that I know all this... XD
Time to do a tarot reading of the Persona games I supoose.
@@Transparencyboo All the games, one by one... even including remakes that add new tarrot cards...
But yeah! This video was great, I like this game even more now, even though I havent played it myself. It would be hard on a phone screen with my vision. But I can get apple arcade on it.
@@Zyfiels we are still miffed about not being able to access certain games that are exclusive to Apple Arcade. Big bummer.
I love that the game is making a clear point about the way even the 'negative' cards in the deck have positive aspects, and that you have the understanding to discuss that in some detail :-) Plus the video is generally great as usual.
Thank you, glad you liked it! We had a lot of fun researching and playing around with the tarot cards. Totally a great purchase!
omg, this video seriously made me cry. That was beautiful and amazing reading for a game that I thought I understood but realized that I didn't even scratch the surface on.
Your interpretation made me relive and come to new and more secure terms with past heartbreaks in the span of 30 minutes then the past 30 years.
Aw, that is cute. Glad we could make something that you enjoyed that much! Really fills us with determination!
Really surprised you didn’t go into what is pretty clearly (imo) the main theme of the Lovers section, possessiveness and keeping people at arms’ length for fear of being hurt. Lyrics like “it doesn’t matter if it’s fake / I love to own for owning’s sake” and “like many times a deal was made / a decent, fair, dead-honest trade / what isn’t real could never fade / we prefer the masquerade” make this the much clearer one night stand-y section of the game to me, with the protagonist looking at relationships as transactional and not emotionally investing herself to avoid potential pain. Regardless, love to hear your guys’ take on a game I adore
If anything I think we'd add a lot of things and make some major changes if we made this one today. It is still a fun video, but I think we're making videos a bit differently now adays. So I'd imagine we would've mentioned this if we made it today, haha. Either way, good point, good point!
A funny thing with Sayonara Wild Hearts is that it's the best game ever made
Also the whole thing about the little death meaning sexual climax, and here, kind of the climax of the game :00
We did not even think about that. A bit embarassing that we missed that one, haha.
We are too pure~
@@Transparencyboo Oh no! I've sullied your innocent mind x3
(In all seriousness, the french term is "La petite mort" )
is that why little death vomits when you repeatedly pound her in the face.
@@LimitlessLiger4404 I'm sure it can be read like that honestly
This is insightful, thanks for sharing it! I thought it was particularly interesting that they labeled Death specifically as “little death” (orgasm).
Very nice indeed~
OMG I lost it when I read this... I love it!
This was very enlightening! It's a testament that the game invoked a primal understanding of all that you spoke of, but the Tarot Card interpretation truly expanded on everything and made it that much more clear and defined. Well done!
Glad you liked it!
Underrated video, this full interpretation deserves more attention
Thank you! It's a bit old at this point, but glad people still enjoy it!
:-0 great video!! excited to play this, i'd never heard of it :-)
Awesome! Glad we could recommend something as great as Sayonara Wild Hearts.
I’ve debated for a long time on which Simogo game is my favorite, and after watching this well-done and insightful video, the answer’s now clear to me. And now I’m even more excited for Lorelei and the Laser Eyes, which comes out later this month (as of the writing of this comment). It looks to be Simogo’s most ambitious game yet so far; so I’ll be looking forward to seeing what analysis videos TH-camrs come up with for THAT sure-to-be instant classic. 👀
Lovely video as usual!
Thanks a lot, friend!
I thought I knew this game before. Now, I love it even more. Thank you for making such an interestingly formatted and insightful video!
@11:08 "Harold, they're lesbians!"
Totally!
I gasped 😭🤚🏼🤚🏼 lmao I learned so much from the video and the game was so good
I'd only vaguely gleaned all this tarot stuff from the other visuals, the lyrics, from having played Persona 4... Neat to learn that the game fits together way more meaningfully than I could have known. I need to get a tarot deck someday.
Pretty impressively comprehensive interpretation, this, too. Thanks!
Also now I'm looking forward to the sequel, wherein they hack together a story with all those Minor Arcana cards.
AAAH!! This gives a whole new meaning to this game that I never saw before! This is great thank you you wonderful person!
Thanks, we had a lot of fun making it!
omg, i played sayonara wildheart last year and kinda liked it, but i didnt think too much of it. Despite playing persona 4 and 5, the tarot cards (and implied plot) completely flew over my head: This was a really interesting video. i might play the game again with the greater context.
I laughed so hard at the N64 joke. Incredible.
Haha, glad you liked it!
This video is really good!! Congrats! I think you would love to play a game called “Night in the woods” as well :)
Thank you so much! We like Night in the Woods a lot, Kiki still needs to finish it but it is a cool game for sure :)
Despite loving SWH and specifically looking for analysis of it, I can't stop thinking of JoJo's when I hear tarot card names.
Thank you for giving me another reason to love this game more :)
And thank you for enjoying it!
Imma just point out the very sad number of 959998 points gathered in an Arcade Mode run, shown at 27:39.
Hope you made it to that milli since then, though.
[anyways, great vid 👉👈]
Yes, we did, thank you!
I have been waiting for a video like this! Thank yall!
Thank you for finally finding it! :)
I am, however, a big ol' dum dum.
* doubt
I didnt know sayonara wild hearts is a lesbian game!! Now i really have to play it! Wonderful video!❤️
A great lesbian game at that!
Great video!
Thanks! You are great!
It is jordan Peterson's deck, the lobster ate the wolf
Have you considered the lobster?
algorithm and love
I always thought the Emperor was interesting. Most of the tarot cards the protagonist uses are applied to the world around them, in a way. Wheel spawns the bike, Strength spawns the sword type thing. When she “gets” the Emperor, it kind of looks like it’s applied to the character directly. Also, after they lose the Fool persona, it’s the only card that still aids them.
Very interesting indeed! :D
... the magician card represents (among other things) the will of the user. So it is the fool's will that is summoning the magician to help. how did you gloss over this?
The "among other things" I suppose?
@@Transparencyboo something that you forgot to mention is that tarot cards have different meanings dependent on orientation. A right-side up magician represents:
willpower, desire, being resourceful, skill, ability, concentration, and manifestation.
whereas an upside-down (or reversed) magician represents: manipulation, cunning, trickery, wasted talent, illusion, deception.
Considering that the magician in the game always shows up in upright orientation, and what exactly the card does in-game, it's safe to assume it's that one.
@@exyzt9877 Nah, we did not really forget about it.
