Before Episode 5's release: >Lol Mari's theories're shitty.It's way more than shitty to become true >Chloe has to die thing doesn't make sense.Don't worry they will come with unpredictable story >We're gonna learn everything about Max's powers,Rachel and Prescotts even Nathan,spirit animals.. >Jefferson knows about Max's powers >Nathan,Frank,David or Samuel's gonna save us >Victoria's with Max,she'll save her >(After seeing Cemetery scene from leaks) I'm sure it'll be Williams,Rachel's or Kate's grave. >Rachel's the doe and Butterfly and probably we'll see her in Max's dream >Blue Jay's Chloe
After Episode 5's release: >Mari's shitty cliche theory became right >We visited the SF art gallery for 3 seconds. FOR 3 DAMN SECONDS >Jefferson became a silly bad guy from Disney >David came to save us.He's a former-soldier but he can't even fight,just listens teenager's orders. Even he doesn't know she has some time travel powers. >Victoria's with us in the dark room.Laying there and we can talk her or not.Just it. >Nathan get killed,Victoria too >Nathan knew something about the storm but they cut it. >Warren explained Max's powers(!)(thanks warryn) We found out her power causes/related with Chaos Theory and storm.It's not like we didn't know or something. >Storm is only coming for Bay because Chloe lives in there but Max's the one who keep changes the time >Prescotts story erased.Nobody even mention their name. >Rachel's story fucked too.She isn't or butterfly,bluejay just spiritualdoe >Spirit animals thing died.Blue Butterfly's storm summoner just it. >Chloe dies again in one of endings (unpredictable) It gives you a lesson: You shouldn't have used your power.And you shouldn't play this game.Now erase your choices and cry like a bitch. >The other ending's short but it's less cliché than other.We saved Chloe,storm's hit the town and gone.That's it >So, once again we got the fact that our ending always will be BAE>Bay

Oh wow. Max looks really pretty there. She definitely looks great in her own way.

Help me understand this image. What was the context in which it was created? It seems to be nonsensical.
Nolan Martin
This is Rachel Dawn Amber.
By the conclusion of "Hell Is Empty", Rachel will be objectively the most important character in the entire Life is Strange franchise.
Camden Sanders
It is nonsensical, that's why there's a bae ending.
Levi Gutierrez

Luis White
Some Bay ending thing of Chloe's ghost going 'I'll always be with you' or something. Or Chloe from a different timeline about to take Max to one where they can be happy. All I know is I don't like it.
Aiden Gray
As Max and Chloe are leaving the ruins of Arcadia Bay behind, there's one more tragic story unfolding >Alice and Lisa stuck in Max's room, Alice hasn't eaten anything in days, the dorms are destroyed and no one comes looking for them >"No one's gonna come save us, this is the end, we'll starve to death..." >Alice...you can survive this and go back to your owner. All you have to do is... all you have to do is eat me." >"What? No, fuck that. Lisa, you're my number one priority, I'm not eating you!" >"Alice, think about it... how many times this week did you try to nibble my leafs? I'm a plant, Alice, you're a bunny, maybe it's time I accept my destiny... OUR destiny." >"Lisa, I can't make this choice!" >"No Alice, you're the only one who can"
I've played LiS 4 times and I've never chosen Bay ending I just can't bring myself to do it ;_;
Joshua Adams
Chloe is the biggest character across both games but Rachel's spirit is what gives Max the power to save Chloe and make her happy so i the grand scheme of things Rachel is a large part of the plot
Juan Reed
It's a fan render you know that right? The author meant something like that Chloe is spiritually there with Bay Max while she waits for Chloe to get murdered.
Noah Rivera
Wtf, high res version ?? That's great IT'S COMING BOYS

You did the right thing user.
Hunter Kelly
Thanks, I knew it was a fan image I just wasn't sure what the heck it was conveying.
Jaxson White
It's just a bunch of contrived tearjerker things and then everyone close to Chloe looking miserable at the fneral. You're not missing much and I regret watching it the one time I did on Youtube.

I mean, after my first playthrough I immediately watched it on YT But every single following playthrough I've tried to pick totally different choices, even letting Katie-Katt die once just to see what happened ;_;, but I can';t bring myself to choose Bay I don't think people should be punished just for loving each other
Jeremiah Gonzalez
They'll come to terms later down the road since even devs now openly spit on s1. Though it won't be easy for them
Noah Williams
There. You got one out of pity. Are you happy now?

I can't believe he actually asked why

Elijah Hughes
>What makes you want to? That's your proof that the devs of BtS " now openly spit on s1"? Oh boy you really have taken your own bait. Ignoring everything ever said in interviews about the game but claiming tweets are something that show a clear intention.
Brody Butler
Chloe is the biggest character, yes, but even with that being said, most of the recognizable things about Chloe are the direct result of Rachel.
She's into chicks. Who caused that? Rachel. Her truck? Rachel. Her catchphrase? Rachel.
Everything revolves around Rachel. Even Max ends up wearing her clothing.
Justin Carter
Oooooooh boy :O
Adam Brooks
>hates people who lie. Who caused that? Rachel
Luke Collins
Ive only ever seen this fan art, fan fic of them having lesbian antics when?
Proof is that their game have nothing in common with the shitshow of s1 and everyone including themseleves is pretty comfortable with it. You, a bunch whiny autists on shithole of internet, literally doesn't count. You can still try to find solace in that one shitty statement made god knows when, since it’s all you have.
Angel Thomas
Reminder
Nolan Morales
I know you're 15 and don't understand, but committing infidelity and not telling your partner about it is lying
Camden Ortiz
That's implying that they were in a relationship at the time, which it was implied was not the case.
Brayden Baker
Ok so Rachel broke Chloes heart anyways >everybody leaves
Joseph Adams
I'm glad I could save Kate. Even if there wasn't originally going to be scenes with her after, it was still a wonderful feeling to see her step back from the ledge. One of Max's finest moments.
Nobody will punish Max and Chloe for being together. The only people who will guilt them are themselves and that will only be until they are finally and totally be able to accept that they didn't ask for anything that happened and they found themselves in a shitty situation. Max couldn't be sure that letting Chloe die would fix things (and everything she saw would be contradictory to that) and Chloe couldn't be angry about being alive, especially when if she ever was asked by Max "What would you have picked, me or the town?" we all know what the answer would be. In the time after the storm and everything else, there will be rough moments, and Max and Chloe will have their arguments as all couples do, but they will heal from their wounds and come to make for themselves the life they have dreamed about since childhood. One that involves them together, though the extent of what ways they are together has definitely grown since then.
Samuel Roberts
>Hello fellow pricefielders! How did you all like the newest chapter?
Aaron Walker
>T-they're not conencted! The devs hates Dontnod See! ;__;
Carson Cox
you are the only one who keeps crying though.
William Peterson
>Nobody will punish Max and Chloe for being together That's kinda the point of the ending though They love each other and they either kill everyone in their home town or Max has to kill Chloe There's no happy ending, just one that is slightly better
Joseph Martinez
If you really care about chloe's character you should care about Max too.
Nathaniel Clark
woah, even an emoji You tears taste amazing my man, thanks for them
Alexander Gomez
I'm not arguing this, but saying that she was a liar is assuming a lot.
Jaxon Brooks
>kill everyone >slightly better horrifying.
Nicholas Evans
>Chloe I know how fragile you are so let's leave right now >ok maybe not right now but soon >soon >soon >soon Liar
Bentley Lewis
>most of the recognizable things about Chloe are the direct result of Rachel. I think that's giving way too much credit and acting like Chloe wasn't anything until Rachel molded her into the girl we know.
>She's into chicks. Who caused that? Rachel. Chloe was considering that already. See the diary entry about Pris, Rachel was just the confirmation and first experience. Even in the alternate timeline in Episode 4, Chloe hints to liking girls and that's without ever knowing Rachel.
>Her truck? >Her catchphrase? That's really not saying too much. Those things are a result of Rachel but Chloe is still Chloe without them, again; see episode 4. Rachel contributed to Chloe exploring her punk and rebel side more but she did not create those sides to Chloe.
>Even Max ends up wearing her clothing. Which doesn't mean much except Max needed clothes then and it aided Chloe in her point of trying to get Max to try something new.
Isaac Roberts
You mean the queen of crickets
Joshua Mitchell
You mean like this girl who promised to keep in touch with her best friend and didn't, and had to almost get run over by her in a truck five years later to actually get in touch, and that was only after a dead girl more or less held her hand and walked her into that interaction?
Ryan Hernandez
>look mom, I posted a dank meme
Evan Torres
How do you (or Amberfags in general) deal with Chloe mentioning Max whenever you interact with anything in BtS?
Jace Sanchez
>Max: make a mistake due to personality, make up and literally rewrite the reality of the multi-verse for her Chloe >Rachel: come out of nowhere just to get some pussy, lie about actually taking Chloe away, break Chloe's heart and hop on multiple dick just to feed her pathetic junkie habits Somehow I think one is worse than the other
Camden Kelly
sounds exactly like s1
Bentley Sullivan
This damage control
Jason Reyes
>they either kill everyone in their home town They kill no one. A storm that was thought to always be coming does. Yes, people die but it's far from everyone. Besides, Max has her power and can go back and try to save people if it really was that bad. If using her power created the problem then it already exists and so one last try to save both Chloe and people in the town is well worth it. >There's no happy ending True, but at least one ending leaves room to become better. Like was said, there will be tough times after the storm but they will get through it together and with the others who care about them.
Mason Scott
>I need money >fuck getting a job, I'm gonna smuggle drugs for this sketchy dude

>we've just found a body >let's not report it to the police
>we've just been baited into going to the place where we found a body at night >let's not share our whereabouts with anybody so that if we're captured or killed, we're not going to be found
>oh tornado >right, I forgot
>I don't know what causes the tornado >I guess I'm just going to take this nerd's word for it >psyche, it's actually been me all along >psyche again, it's actually been my friend

Alexander Torres
Nice pasta
Xavier Bennett
>just make a story about 2 16 year olds fucking Yeah that's a much more challenging story
Tyler Rogers
>Rachel and Max both made mistakes Should come as a surprise to no one.
You're addressing the lengths Max went to help Chloe and see her happy, but also missing what Rachel did to see the same. Rachel is why Max has her power. Rachel knew she couldn't be there for Chloe, or be what Chloe needed, so she helped Max become that. Because Rachel heard enough about Max to trust her.
Camden Kelly
This. Literally pure fanservice and amberfags fell for it.
Christian Smith
>myfuckingw there are people itt RIGHT NOW who still treat this game seriously despite all of this
Luis Cruz
>Chloe wasn't anything until Rachel molded her into the girl we know Except that actually is exactly what happened. I'm not going to spoil it, but if you read the spoilers there other Chloe "trademarks" that are going to end up having been the result of Rachel as well.
>Chloe was considering that already. See the diary entry about Pris >"I can't see you with any of the guys around here..." >"Because you have a good eye. That's why I was so glad Rachel came along to rescue me."
Glad you mentioned the alternate timeline also, because that's a good example of how Chloe without the influence of Rachel would be.
Everything else still all boils down to Rachel.
Logan Johnson
she only mentions her like 5 times per episode. it's not really something to "deal" with. Just makes the whole thing sadder.
Blake Adams
There is a story to BtS but it's a much safer approach without having things like altering time. That's why it seems more solid with the writing so far. It is and also it can jump right into a romance because the first game already accustomed the player to multiple aspects of the characters, story, and world. It's fanservice with a purpose. Though that purpose is NOT to usurp the original.
Joshua Bailey
>but also missing what Rachel did to see the same. Being the best pussy available is hardly the same as saving someone's life
Leo Bell
>True, but at least one ending leaves room to become better. Not for everyone who died in the tornado.
Angel Phillips
What makes you think we don't like Pricefield too?
Brody Lewis
Somehow promising and basically proposing marriage via Shakespeare and then sucking dick to support your heroin addiction doesn't seem all that helpful in the grand scheme of things I subscribe to the "Rachel is doe and helped Max's powers" thing but with the caveat that she wasn't truly "Rachel" but mixed up with some Native Indian spirt and the Tobanga
Ayden Hernandez
Because you ignore S1 existence?
Benjamin Myers
Superficial things like hair dye, tattoos, and liking a word, are not the entirety of what makes Chloe who she is. Rachel had her effects on Chloe's personality, there's no denying that, but Chloe without Rachel is still very much Chloe. We see that in the alternate timeline, and even in the introduction to BtS before they meet.
Noah Anderson
>general been filled with memes against Pricefield and Max in general since BtS dropped No no, that's not how this work You can't now go back on all the shitposting. See it through to the end nigger
Nolan Garcia
"Made a mistake due to personality"
I'm sorry, but if you straight up start ignoring your best friend who was more or less your sister for the majority of your life at that point, that isn't a quirk, that isn't just someone being shy and reserved. That's a fucking massive character flaw.
Rachel obviously had her own flaws as well, just like Chloe. All three of them are clearly fucked up mentally, but I think Rachel and Chloe have a little bit more of an excuse considering they actually lived rough lives in extremely toxic environments unlike Max.
Cooper Turner
You're the same user with 2015 screenshots who keeps shit talking max, i know you.
Lincoln Sullivan
>t. someone who never dealt with extreme social anxiety Lemme guess, being a lying, cheating slut is just a small quirk?
Zachary Butler
>Besides, Max has her power and can go back and try to save people if it really was that bad. If using her power created the problem then it already exists and so one last try to save both Chloe and people in the town is well worth it.
I'd really, really like to know how this is any less of a wild unrealistic headcanon than the idea of creating a timeline where Chloe and Rachel end up happy together.
Jose Thompson
>yfw there's an infinite number of parallel realities where you and your beautiful girlfriend whom you love with all your heart live your lives together happily but because french people love misery they wrote a story based on one where everything somehow goes pants of fire retarded bad so she dies and you end up at the mercy of queen of crickets, because apparently your only reason for existence is suffering
Leo Green
>lived rough lives >Rachel She got herself involved with a rough crowd, but that was due to her own poor decisions. She came from a well-off family and was succeeding at school. There was no need whatsoever for her to become involved with Arcadia Bay's seedy underbelly.
