Slight correction at 6:19 - Yan *forged* that prescript, so it makes way more sense that he knew that the Proxies would go to the Library next. I'm just dumb. BEFORE ANYTHING THIS VIDEO IS CONSTRUCTED ON MY OWN OPINION. I know some people likely have some different reasons for liking Yan or disliking him - I just wanted to talk about some common points people would likely share about enjoying Yan's character. So...audio quality. I've been in quarantine for a while now - a close family member of mine recently got the omicron variant of COVID-19. I've also had flu-like symptoms recently, but all of my COVID tests have shown negative in the past 2 weeks. Because of the quarantine, I don't have access to where I usually do my recordings, and you know the flu-like symptoms also make me sound fucking dead and for some reason 'moistens' my voice? idk Sorry about that. I'll try to see if something can be done before the next video? But it's not looking good - I'll definitely...DEFINITELY have another video for this month, though - so keep your eyes out for that.
Right? The amount the Index has planned out or could have planned out is ridiculous. It's almost confusing at points because how much does it really know? Did it know about L. Corp's stuff? It is 'the will of the city' - but what does that really mean?
I love him because he is cute, he is kind at first glance but in fact he is cruel and will goes as far as hurting others to prove himself that he has free will, and his demise is sad to read, I like him so much I wish he can have a happy ending if we could see him in future Project Moon games.
its project moon, what do you expect.they LITERALLY kill off good characters before the game even starts😭(e.g the patron librarians/sephirah and rolands wife)
it could be that his VA also voices Xiao in Genshin- I am kidding. Yan, at first is someone we root for as he actively expresses his disgust and comtempt for Index's "commands". He has noble goals but is a bit naïve as he struggles to go against his organization. But, it is all the most heartbreaking when he finds out his "free will" was of the commands of the Index. Instead of refuting, denying or even fighting against it to manifest his own EGO, he instead gives in and accepts it and that's why he is so popular. Yan wants to change, he wants the people to break out and be free like him to choose. He actively pursues the truth and change very early on and we find his journey endearing.
>it could be that his VA also voices Xiao in Genshin TRUE THOUGH FR - his voice range is pretty amazing. I fucking love his VA. Other than that, I completely agree! His story is framed in a pretty tragic light, for good reason. Throwing away his belief due to a huge reveal that completely destroyed it, in his eyes. And it still somehow leaves the Index shrouded in mystery, with its symbolism. And that's a pretty major factor as well - the Index's systems, how they work, how they made his life hell before completely destroying it. The sentiments he express right before fully distorting are interesting as well, as you mentioned. "I'm just a tiny part of the world, I can never change the wishes of all people...there's no way I can defy this flow." To accept your position as a 'person' - one that has no impact, and one that had every one of their actions orchestrated by something bigger than themselves. It's something most of us have done, accepting that truly, nothing will come from us being alive. That all we can do is make the best of our situations, and continue living. Because of that, a lot of us find it pretty easy to empathise with his situation, which makes him far more popular!

Let's be honest we all need something like Yan in our life nothing can expressed how much i am obssesed with this cute femboy with a huge 4ss sword that said his character is quite tragic
i like yan because i love the index even if theyre a bit screwed up, he's complex and has a nice voice, i like his ost and i love a good distortion, even if i felt bad for him in the end.
I loved Yan, He looks so cool and is one of the nicest guys in the city but then his distortion happened and i hated him for the pain the bossfight was (and still is)
Sleek outfit with a very distinct color scheme makes for a good character. Add in the typical fucked up PM story and you have Yan. I don't even remember him being voiced when I last finished the game, should probably send a playthrough again...
i love him bc of his boss theme, and i can sort of relate to him in a way. also, he's very androgynous. i love him with my heart and soul. i want his voice.
Be honest I surprised to find someone who ain't simping for library members cuz daym when I started playing LoR and saw this blud In steam cards or like, I was like "Why da heck this bro is here" because we can't see every single leader of gang or office or other things in these cards
It's heavily implied he did a lot more than one month worth of Prescripts. "But Yan's been a good boy, fulfilling many Prescripts *throughout his life*?" - Gloria, Index Proxies. 얀샋ㄷ요무 's page also adds to this. "The nightmares have been with me for a good majority of my life. If I close my eyes, the memory of the time haunts me-and if I open my eyes, a reality I can hardly bear unfolds." "I trace back the nightmares to remember the past; everything was over, and I planned to follow them to death, but I didn't have the courage to end my own life, so I… I picked up the Prescript that I thought would spell my doom at last and read it slowly." These 'nightmares' are the memory of what he considers unjustifiable actions that he had to follow due to the Prescripts. And while that could mean that he only followed prescripts for 'a short period of time', Gloria's statement somewhat contradicts that. It just means he's worked as a Messenger for a really long time.
it's implied that he's been following the prescripts - and suffering because of them - since childhood! it's specifically his work as a messenger that he's been doing for only a month

I still find it interesting how the prescripts where playing 5D chess to make Yan distort and to save the Proxies for the ensemble.

He distorted
That is long gone from happy ending
I mean, it wasn't like he was forging fake prescripts with cruel orders because he wanted to, but because he was afraid the proxies would find out
@@gesgald2266 undistorting is possible , just hard
@@AngelosDeNotitia Or you could distort a 2nd time and hope you get a more humanoid/reasonable form.
its project moon, what do you expect.they LITERALLY kill off good characters before the game even starts😭(e.g the patron librarians/sephirah and rolands wife)
he's got one of the most boppin songs in the game
TRUE
Yan will be forever in our hearts
Best boy ;(
trying to figure out a characters gender is as difficult as the abnormalities you fight, it's bloody vertical.
Noah and Dante are waiting for their turn.
Because he is cute
Done
No argue to be made
yes
I- …
it could be that his VA also voices Xiao in Genshin- I am kidding.

reason 1: really cool sword
reason 2: i dont have a second reason his sword is just REALLY cool
yan my beloved... not only is he cute, but also lives in my brain rent-free. to me he is the definitive blorbo, i could talk about him for so long...
unironically same hes in my head rent-free
Seeing people use words like blorbo is so weird considering my online username.
yeah look at those fan art. Cutest thing ever.
i like yan because i love the index even if theyre a bit screwed up, he's complex and has a nice voice, i like his ost and i love a good distortion, even if i felt bad for him in the end.
mood the index is such a cool concept and yan is just a really fun character overall, definitely one of my favorites!
It takes my heart being broken and broken again to know that I’m the reason the prescript is carried out
I loved Yan, He looks so cool and is one of the nicest guys in the city
but then his distortion happened and i hated him for the pain the bossfight was (and still is)
Yan's such a cutie
Is that Kikuo I hear in the background?!
Good video by the way.
Yan is definitely best boy
Yeah! It's Aishite~
Sleek outfit with a very distinct color scheme makes for a good character. Add in the typical fucked up PM story and you have Yan.
I don't even remember him being voiced when I last finished the game, should probably send a playthrough again...
i love him bc of his boss theme, and i can sort of relate to him in a way. also, he's very androgynous. i love him with my heart and soul. i want his voice.
That's understandable, to be honest! Yan is just a really fun character who gets a lot of screen time and is just honestly - really likable!
yan with sunglasses that say "insert face here" is now my discord pfp
Ah yes
The femboy
(I love him too-)
Seggs brutal
Valid reason
4:19 *What about roland?*
Roland falls under Librarians, in that bit.
Be honest I surprised to find someone who ain't simping for library members cuz daym when I started playing LoR and saw this blud In steam cards or like, I was like "Why da heck this bro is here" because we can't see every single leader of gang or office or other things in these cards
As the prescript wills…
he's so me
you give people really messed up orders and stuff and feel bad about it and try to give them advice about it??? no way!!!!
@@HazIosefka and after all that i still have no control over my life :(
@@qnybucks :(
Well the first time I got introduced to yan is through his femboy hentai
wait a second HIM??
im sorry for your loss
hubert >>>>>
We are gay thats why
I'm sorry but I don't even remember who is Yan
Didn't he actually follow the prescripts for like 1 month?
It's heavily implied he did a lot more than one month worth of Prescripts.

Hmmm... Why do people simp for a Femboy, I wonder? This is suuuuuuuuuusch a biiiiiiiiig question xD
it's a guy?
yeah, artbook confirms it 100% if you want direct confirmation
😨
Xiao>Yan
hey, to each their own! ailith'd probably agree lmao
Personally, I don't like yan all that much. He's just a bit _boring_ to me.
To each their own - it's perfectly understandable to dislike/like characters, this is just going over why people like Yan in particular.
