    If there was ever a 100% that shouldn't have been shared with the public, it's this one. BUT I DID IT. Stellar Blade is a LOT more rounded than what appearances may be even if some aspects come off as flat. Did I spend hours reading random datalogs and putting together pieces others wouldn't care about? YEAP. This PlayStation 5 Exclusive (for now) has a lot going on.

      It's true that Naytibas don't typically recover their lost intelligence (except Orcal), but the point of it was more to preserve human DNA in whatever form they could which they at least succeeded at, because without mutating into Naytibas there wouldn't be any. Now Eve can put her and Adam's fused DNA inside the Cradle and thousands of people sleeping there will wake up with human DNA, and they'll be even stronger than most Angels.

    Austin, you missed an important plot point at the start in Eidos 7.
    SPOILERS:
    When you are getting the fusion core from the digital library, there is a brief history (Albeit false) presentation over the intercom regarding "humans" and how the transcended to androids by replacing their hearts with cores that didn't require basic human functions (breathing, eating etc). Hence why Eve, Lily and everyone else on Xion thought of themselves as humans and comes as a shock when they find out they were indeed the robots created in the robot vs human war.

      For me it's the most fun I have had with a game since the ps5 came out. I had more fun with it than elden ring, God of war, ff7 rebirth.
      Not saying it is better than those games. Just more fun.
      Elden ring was too long which grew tiresome for me. Too much of a good thing.
      Ff7 rebirth had a bit too many meaningless activities. Taking me away from story.
      God of war had a terribly disappointing final segment. Which weakened its story focus.
      Stellar blade was trying to give a sexy cinematic action flick type of game. Story wasn't its focus. So when I went in knowing that's what they were aiming for I was delighted that they executed that perfectly. Mediocre story, interesting world and lore but great combat system, great collectibles, great action sequences and great music, which is what I wanted from the game. Shame about the blood censorship though. I loved that feature in God of war, bloodborne, dark souls etc.

    What's interesting is that the more people who are attracted to this game play the game, the more they think the story is well made.
    Another thing is that the evaluation of this game's story is divided into whether it is from a Western or Eastern perspective.

      I got the Japanese disk copy to be able to have all voices available (the Japanese VA is much better than Korean and English dub imho and is only available on Japanese version). It was also less expensive to have it exported (I used FromJapan export proxy and got it through amazon japan) because of how weak the Yen is right now. Saved about $8 compared to USA pricing.

    I remember about 45%ish into the main story, Lily and Adam just start bickering with no build up after being generally friendly and co-operative and it felt so forced. I was like “oh, I must be in the second act. I guess they’re gonna have to put their differences aside later huh.” Eve is also very blank slatey. 10/10 costumes and customization options, I especially enjoyed the different haircuts. I didn’t really have to master the combat until the 2nd to last boss. Went out of my way to get the true ending my first playthrough and was still left feeling like “that’s it?” Solid first entry into what I hope will be a series, considering there was a bit of sequel tease. Hoping SB2 improves off the framework this game introduced. Hoping for a real KH1 to KH2 style glow up for the sequel.

    Main takeaways I will take from this game is that at least the combat looks fun, EVE is an attractive character, the game goes back to some level of oldschool, the team stuck to their sexy main girl guns and the OST is a banger. However the plot is LITERALLY Nier Automata but diet, the characters HAVE good ideas but are executed poorly with the cast themselves being boring and there is no camera mode. Plus maybe it is just me but I am starting to miss my X, Zero and Axl cool male robot archetypes because yes I love hot robot waifus as much as the next guy but come on we have Nier Automata, NIKKE and now this. I know sex sells but at least back then we had way more then just sexy robot girls. Bright side, Austin mentioned Gundam so yay.
