    WOW the game looks amazing! Thanks for the novel summary as I am so unfamiliar with it.

  • @snazzythesnaz

    I think that the Albinaurics believed that Mohgwyn’s Palace was the Haligtree all along. There is a teleporter in Consecrated Snowfield, only a few hundreds meters away from Ordina and the teleporter to the Haligtree. They thought that the teleporter that would bring them to the Haligtree and their freedom, was in reality, the way to Mohgwyn’s Palace. Down the path from the group of Albinaurics on the hill is another group of Albinaurics, who are circling a large tree. This makes me believe that they really thought that they had made it to the Haligtree. The teleporter that the Albinaurics took was also most likely the way that Mohg took Miquella and got her into Mohgwyn’s palace. The Albinaurics followed Miquella, since they knew that she would lead her to the Haligtree. An explanation for the Albinaurics beginning to “worship” Mohg is, because he keeps Miquella at the top of his Masolouem, and were aware of her presence there. If the Albinaurics didn’t know what Miquella looked like, they may have believed that Mohg was Miquella, and began to worship him, and begin to transform to how they were. Only few Albinaurics remain in the Consecrated Snowfield, some may have found the Haligtree teleporter, but unable to complete the puzzle required to open it. Only one Albinauric remains outside the teleporter to Mohgwyn’s Palace, likely waiting on their return.

    I have some details about this game to share with you. 1. The buildings in this game are ancient buildings modeled through 3D scanning in various parts of China. 2. Do you remember the headless man in one of the pvs? We guess he should be Lingji Bodhisattva. 3. The dragon man who painted the mural is Lan Cai, possibly a son of the Dragon King of Jinghe River. 4. The name of the big-headed monk who appears in the latest PV is Elder Jin Chi. He is the monk who wanted to set fire to steal the cassock in the novel. The wolf with the flame knife is named Guang Zhi, and he is Jin Chi’s student.

    I think the different monkey is mostly likely the manifestation of the original one like he is the mortality that wukong left to reach buddhahood which gain physical form and there was a theory which i believed it which say that six eared macaque is the manifestation of wukong shadow like what wukong coukd have possibly be if he didn't meet xuanzang and that killing him is basically killing his demonic personality , greediness and rage which make sense

    You forgot to mention that in an attempt to curb the monkey kings behaviour, has invited to heaven as you stated, but was also promised a high position in the heavenly court. But instead of fulfilling that promise they bestowed the title of heavenly stables stable hand. That enraged monkey so he started to cause havoc in heaven. He stumbled upon the peach gardens where heavenly immortality granting peaches were grown and being a monkey at heart, he consumed copious amounts of the ripest and largest peaches thus gaining immortality. In the process he disrupted the preparation of a heavenly feast where the peaches were to be presented to guests. However since monkey had already consumed the choice peaches no good ones were left for the feast. Then he ended up fighting the heavenly host as you described.

      Yeah I had a longer more detailed overview in my first script but didn’t have enough footage to stretch so I cut down to a shorter version. Will absolutely be doing a longer video once the game is out and I have more to work with!

    He needed to face Buda because no one can stop him anymore. After his capture he went through many ways of killing him but instead it made him even stronger so that Buda was needed to be called to deal with WuKong. So your story missing a crucial part in your summary. Multiverse? no its not Marvel. The story teller is only implying that the story that has been told is a or might be a lie and he is going to tell the real story of what happened. So no other verse. Other than that I am happy with your lovely voice story telling. Thank you.

  • @bingdu2398
    @bingdu2398 День тому

    One of the most popular rumours among Chinese community is that the player is the form of Sun Wukong’s one spirit, as in Buddhism there are two. Whether or not, we already can see from current trailers and gameplay videos that those real immortals have lost their power, while Yaoguai (evil monsters), as our enemies, have taken in charge of temples and credibility of Buddhism. Some bosses are immortals being transformed by combing their original shapes with other demons. So from many details we are sure that the game happens in a totally reverted world where evils replace goodness.

    • @kitetales
      @kitetales День тому

      That is a great theory, I can see that too! I wondered why the Black Bear Demon’s eyes were red, and he appears to be at his post that he was assigned to after Guanyin subdued him, and I also saw a monster that might be Sandy that had red eyes and flaming red hair, but was missing the skull necklace which would imply that this happened after the initial fight. Very interesting clues and I can’t wait to see what’s going on!

    Son wukong was created by using the energies of ying and yang ☯️. I heard rumors that it's possible that sun wukong separated himself from positive and negative forces in order to enter godhood. The monkey that stopped the other monkey from killing the wolf was the real sun wukong, and the other is his negative half!

    Chinese native here 👋 it's heavily implied that the story of black myth happens many years after journey to the west. For example one of the spider demon from the original JJTW showed up in a CG and she is very old now. The team behind game science made a different game in the past called 斗战神 thats also an alternative interpretation of JJTW so thats like their thing 😂

    • @kitetales

      I heard that it is more a "black myth" or a different retelling of what happened, like a hidden story, and that maybe the Wukong we play is not the real one, but one of the copies of him the six-eared macaque, passing through the same thing, remember one of the trailers showed two Wukongs so ours must be the macaque

    I am glad videogames actually can bring None Asians (since most Asia already have read Journey to the West and also Three Kingdoms before) to get interested in Chinese literature. So far Three Kingdoms (due to videogames like Dynasty Warrior and Sangokushi) got the interest of war historians. But now we see Journey to the West being taken interest by a modern audience since the 1970 after the Chinese animation "Uproar in Heaven" that was shown in various Eastern European countries. Hope in future, Water Margin will be taken interest as it basically Chinese Robin Hood Er Lang the warrior deity with Three Eyes is interesting in that he is the guy who strike thunder at unfilial sons and daughters who doesn't treat their parent nice. Thus the word "Being hit by Lighting" actually refer to him. He is a deity for Filial duty and his black dog is there to scare away evil spirit. Before the fight with Er Lang, Monkey fought against Nezha the Boy with the Firewheel and spear. He is a forever little boy who wear a "Bib" to cover his belly it an outdated outfit for little kids that cover the belly but expose your butt. By the way, the Crescent Moon headband and his outfit actually looks more like "Sandy" Sha Wujing the 3rd Disciple of Tripikata who is a sea demon. I think it could be an unlockable extra outfit for Monkey or maybe storyline wise he is wearing this outfit?

    • @kitetales
      @kitetales 2 дні тому

      Yes I love the Stephen Chow movie!! ❤️ So I unfortunately had to cut a bunch of stuff from the video going more into why I think there is an alternate timeline for time constraints, but there are a few scenes that make me think this: the Black Bear Demon that Guanyin subdued and turned into a guard for the mountain already appears to be serving that post when Wukong fights him; there looks like there might be an entity controlling Sandy during that fight, and the spider sisters talk about having met their groom before long ago. Also I don’t see any presence of Xuanzang even though so many of the characters in this footage appear after Sun Wukong becomes his disciple.
