  • Catherine is anything but conventional. With great storytelling paired with puzzle and challenging gameplay, Catherine Full Body makes it's ways to current gen consoles and still packs a punch. The topic of relationships and the various endings to unlock lead to quite the intriguing narrative. Even after so long since it's initial release, there's a lot to take in and explore in this game. But man, completing it is just as tough as some of these relationships.

    Honestly I think Vincent being rude to Rin and overreacting when finding out they have male genitalia is great, not because he’s being an asshole, but because it acknowledges people being assholes to those who are in Rins shoes, however, the most important part of this is how Vincent LEARNS and feels TERRIBLE about being awful to Rin. What I mean to say in short is that this gives off the message of “We know there are people out there who reject those who are different, but they can learn to accept and love the people who they once rejected”

    I think the new Catherine ending is showing Erica before she transitioned. Because in the new ending Vincent starts dating Catherine in High school. Given that Vincent started his relationship earlier then he did with Katherine in the main timeline. That is probably why Erica is pre transition in the new ending. I would like to state that the game does fumble a bit with Erica in a few moments but those moments where in the original release as well.

      ​@@MrMurica I remember there being some controversy when the game was leak about this ending and how it was trans-phobic. I don't blame people for wanting to jump to that conclusion given how Erica was handled in the original game and apparently in the Japanese version of Full Body, they refer to Erica as Eric in the credits. Luckily the translation team did a good job at changing that for the american release. They did something similar with the English release of Persona 5 R.

      @@jakepeters6363 its not really a good job because they created accidental bigotry in the process.
      Erica and Vincent have been friends for years now. tens of years perhaps. such friends CAN shove remarks about each other to each other KNOWING those are not meant as an actual attack (like ted is constantly shafted in the completionist episodes, or how wade is "bullied" by markiplier and bob "myskerm"). this already is a good reason why the editing of a conversation between the two was completely unnecessary.
      Not to mention that the removal of the voice line and Erica STILL reacting pissed made her...
      well....
      an accidental trans-phobic depiction. being unreasonably aggressive and moody, lashing out at Vincent for no goods reason. that is implication wise WORSE then the original exchange where Vincent was just striking a nerve with a snide comment about how Erica was not like other women.
      I'm pretty sure Erica has given such snide remarks about him just as much, i mean they have been friends since early high school, if not longer.
      and as to Catherine wedding ending:
      well maybe, maybe not. it might just well be that the death of the guy, who in that alternate time line ended up with Kathrine, has set things into motion in the original timeline with his death, that after 3, 4 or 5 more following events set Erica to question her identity or realization of her gender dysphoria. but since that guy lived in the Catherine's wedding time line, those events may never come to pass and then "Eric" never came to question "his" identity or place in life.
      Also I'm pretty sure "he" and toby are still fuckin...soooo...not entirely "bad".

      So it's pretty evident she is still planning to transition. Which is actually a tad happier because that means Toby has known Erica for longer overall as well.

    21:55 It doesn't stumble, not at all. It's an alternate timeline where she just hadn't transitioned YET. Vincent got together with K after a reunion, so years after school. He got together with C in this alternate timeline in school and then got married because they decided they were meant for each other before they went back in time.
    This ending happens a lot earlier. Years before he would have gotten together with K and the rest of the game plays out, so it stands to reason that Erica was still a man at that time. I really believe that's all that they were trying to convey. She is transitioned in everything else except high school flash backs.

      That ending occurs before Erica transitioned since he started dating Kathrine in high school and in that ending Vincent never met Kathrine which means the timeline is screwed up, Vincent never mets Kathrine Erica doesn't transition until much later . The context is there everyone just jumps to transphobia despite it being pre-transition.

    @wearevenom81 3 ปีที่แล้ว +55

    I’m going to respectfully disagree on you seeing Eric not becoming Erica as a bad thing. Sure, perhaps they never change, HOWEVER, another interpretation especially cause this involves Catherine is more about chaos and torment, I.e. in a weird way Eric is probably still struggling to discover that he is a woman trapped in a mans body and has not come to the realization yet.
    I get the message you’re trying to say, but I think if you just look at it in a different way you could see it’s not an insult or ten steps back as you’re trying to paint it.
    “Discovering” yourself is all about time, place, and context. For instance a handful of kids in my class realized they were gay once they were able to leave my super conservative christian town. As well as meeting the right people, so in a way it’s saying that because of Vincent never dating Katherine, certain events HAVENT transpired yet, meaning it could still happen
