Chloe is #1

>Cutest girl - check
>Has cutest girlfriend - check

It's a fic on Ao3 that's (if the author's predicted number of chapters is right) going to be done next Thursday

Broken thread for a broken girl.

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

Can you link it? It sounds at least decent and I can't seem to find it.

We don't know exactly what happened with all of that. They could have tried offering to visit Arcadia Bay but maybe when the topic of Chloe came up, Max got noticeably sadder. After a certain point, Max was thinking Chloe hated her. Max always wanted to see Chloe again and talk to her, but her anxiety overwhelmed her and she had nothing to support her in overcoming it then.
Max's and Chloe's separation is the result of a lot of mistakes on multiples peoples parts. Max, Chloe, and their parents.
They all were too focused on the short term problems and thoughts and it never occurred to them that maybe they should do something decisive. Like Joyce calling Ryan and Vanessa, or vice versa, to say how bad things were getting. Max obviously failed on her end to keep in contact Chloe and that cannot be ignored but I that as only part of a bigger issue. Everyone realized things weren't good but nobody took the step to try to start the process of fixing them.

Author updates every Monday and Thursday (without fail as far as I know) so it's going to be done next week.

Friendly reminder to git gud, scrub.

Reminder that boys don't have these abandonment and attachment issues because they are taught to not have these shitty emotions

Okay lads. This developers cannot be consistent and I've heard that some labelization in these scenes HAD CHANGED again along with endings.Repeating this again: this is the 5th time they've changed things during in development;so some stuff were outdated cut stuff ... it never came to pass because it got changed during development and also the files were artifacts. After the demo as you can see, they have changed small details (hair dye scene,Chloe's outfits scene etc) like that but not major plot. Other things I have told you will happen after these scenes so no worries, you guys will get what you want ;)

TRAILER is hella tricky so is Demo. It may showed some glimpse parts of intense stuff but that's just not it.

So as my source confirmed either, Episode 3 will start at the Rachel's house (in order words will continue from where did it end) When Rachel went to upstairs angrily, you will have chance to talk with her family and get some informations. Then as you know, you will go upstairs and will inspect Rachel's room. When you interacted with her, you will make some heart-to-heart talk and Chloe will try to comfort her (at some point, whatever you said to Rachel earlier ''going LA,NY etc.) will be also mentioned while you were trying to comfort her. Rachel will want Chloe to stay and yes damn, they will fallasleep together, will cuddle in bed. Depending on intimacy counter you will also get another extend in here

After you fell asleep dream sequence will take place. Of course heavy point will be focused on William's warning words and journal Max (she won't be in dream sequence unfortunately,they cut it) Chloe will wake up and we will have a meeting with Rachel at the junkyard
So since Rachel will not be with her at the morning Chloe won't be wearing Rachel's clothes. They changed it with Chloe's combining her clothes with William's.

Wait, that's a Jeffershit fic? Fuck, now i feel misled.

*cuddles your gf*

>Relationships: Maxine "Max" Caulfield/Mark Jefferson, Maxine "Max" Caulfield/Warren Graham (One-sided)

"Oh look who returns to Arcadia bay after five years of silence and didn't tell me"
"Oh shut up Cole you fucking crybaby, what are you? Some emotional bitch called Chloe?"
"Haha good one bro. My moms dead"

Let's go boys

***Hair dye scene is the most changed scenes in-game (for the 3th times) While this was gonna happen in epilogue & also at the mid of story with Rachel devs took it more earlier. Anyway, to imply this won't be the first time Chloe will get blue strands to her hair and Chloe will mention it. Developers also couldn't stay consistent again, Rachel was gonna be with Chloe at morning, at her home and recommend to dye her hair. THEY CUT THIS just to fix inconsistency -to imply Chloe already had this blue hair dye and she tried it in past.CHLOE WILL DYE HER HAIR ALL BY HERSELF.
So since Rachel will not be with her at the morning Chloe won't be wearing Rachel's clothes either. They changed it with Chloe's combining her clothes with William's.

When we decided to go junkyard Chloe and Rachel will get into trouble after some conversation between them happened (no shit) Frank won't be coming with Sera but with Damon...

Aaand our famous Damon confrontation will happen right here.(Actually cut stuff was Rachel's not getting hurt here and Sera's stepping in, but during development this also got changed) As you can see from the trailer, Rachel will get knife'd by Damon. After it's too late ,Frank will pull him back and Chloe will take Rachel to the hospital in a rushed manner. She won't be in critical condition but Chloe will get scared shitless obviously.

Advice scene at Hospital Steph didn't got so changed there will be heart-warming conversation between her and Chloe, and she will help her to figure out Rachel and Chloe's love for each other. Damon still will be on Drew's ass so he will also get in trouble too though
I told you that, trailer's tricky and showed you only glimpse of parts. But everyone forgot Damon's involvement with North brothers and they and Steph have more major role; more than you think.

>Chiaroscuro, the one thing Jefferson talks about specifically, is the title
>surprised it focuses on Jefferson
I enjoy the story, and it doesn't apologize for Jefferson.
At least you can answer Jefferson's questions in this story, Maxine.

>"Haha good one bro. My moms dead"
"oh, grow a pair, we all have problems. What are you gonna cry now, faaag?"

Cringe

Why did you abandon me Rachel

Photography is prominent in Life is Strange so there are loads of fics that have photography references in title and none of them are about Jeffershit.

Cole: "I dare you to kiss me. Dude, don't be a fag and chicken out on me, bro."
*Max kisses Cole*
Max and Cole simultaneously: "No Homo tho."

The most changed scene finally got certain. While we were trying to gather money,got info cringy guy Eliot's confrontation's confrontation will be happen in Rachel's house.Actually no matter if you say ''No,maybe etc.'' to him -surely this will kinda alter dialogues yet, whatever you've read/done in his room actually will matter and unlock extra dialogues. Yes, Rachel will be with us while this was happenning and rescue us and yes this faggot always will show his creepiness. I also want to add, this kid is mentally fucked up; obsession/perversion/creepiness level in overdrive.

Ending choices' exoterical kinda changed, YET, main context still will be there to mainly testing Rachel and Chloe's bond (keeping Rachel to herself or letting her that ez) and obviously these ending choices will be connected with Sera. Expect some ''feels'' from Sera's part at this point; but bear in mind that Rachel will always come back to her Chloe. That 'vision' you saw is only part of it. Lots of people talking about whose drug is it, it's Sera's but actually it's related with someone's being kidnapt and flashback. I'm repeating this again: Sera isn't bad person as you think. The Mill yes, is related to him, and that blood in Frank's RV will surprise you all because the real confrontation will start at there and Chloe will be mostly unconscious and Rachel will be her guiding light. Yes, Raven is also symbolizing something about Sera;)

>Chloe's face when alpha Dana steals her gf

>none of them
Sorry to say, at least some of them are. Even if you hate Jefferson, quite a few people like writing about him.
I'd recommend reading Chiaroscuro.

le cucked again face.

++About epilogue... In changed locations, they will most likely end the game at Chloe's house or famous lighthouse (believe or not, they seriously still considering it) while they were sitting alone and Rachel will be with her. With emotional conversation after what they had been through. At the ending they also will show glimpse parts of other characters' actions, how they ended up... -Max will also get mentioned by Chloe at some point


Now let's talk about hot/romance scenes again...
For those who asked if we are gonna see kiss scene again at the endings: As we always told you, Chloe and Rachel's relationship won't get ruined no matter what. There are some few different variations depending on intimacy counter. In multiple endings and depending variations, there is also an emotional kiss between them right after that moment (if your intimacy again,romantic) because they will think they will get seperated at first. Also epilogue has HELLA lots of romantic dialogues between them. Even in a panic/intense moments you will see it.

male version of Life is Strange in a nutshell

Fun fact. Enough levels of testosterone can actually fully inhibit the tear duct

Being weak is more cringe lol
Go cry more Maxine/Chloe and get killed like you usually do

Extra stuff about Episode 3 and why did they cut that part in dream sequence? :

As I told you before, that thing Max's physically appearence in dream sequencemay be or may not be released. They chose to cut it because their original intention was gonna either making her talk or either seeing her physically -which was they were gonna go with. Though, they found this unnecessary and kept that character's presence for future episode. Ah, but it's not like you won't feel that character's presence in nightmare still. You just don't see her physically and while talking.

+++
As I told you while trailer was pointing out important things , some scenes are put there to confuse you and doesn't really evolve in the way as you think. They will use this one week to recover them; just as Dontnod did with ep4 teaser/trailer.

Don't worry depending to intimacy counter->romantic scenes didn't cut, again, demo is also tricky plus you will encounter with them as the story evolved.

>Brook's face when Chloe gets cucked by the Danamo

All I want is Steph to talk Chloe through the realization she's gay. You can be fucking wrong about everything else, Spoiler dude, but if you fail to deliver on that, I'm going to find you and punch you in the dick.

Went looking for the source and found it on her Twitter. That was commissioned by Dotsot, that Korean artist who does adorable stuff. Nice.
I really like the subdued palette like it's close to being colored but it's extremely faded.

I TOLD YOU BEFORE AND YOU DIDNT BELIEVE ME FUCKERS

>All I want is Steph to talk Chloe through the realization she's gay.
They came damn close to that in episode 2. I don't think Steph was really trying to go after Rachel but was just testing Chloe to see if she felt strong enough feelings for Rachel to get jealous.

Hopefully Steph has a good conclusion to her arc in episode 3 and finds true love .

...

>The bay ending was clearly the cinematic ending that the majority of production was spent on
>Majority of people chose the Bay
>People in this thread are surprised the majority of people asked say they chose the Bay

I guess this level of delusion isn't unusual for /lisg/, but still.

Cutest girl with the cutest wife

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"

Why are they so buff, though? It looks gross, they should be cute and slender.

WHAT DID THEY MEAN BY THIS
WHAT DID THEY MEAN BY THAT

AlrightHere is some info(s) about Farewell. Lots of things may sound familiar to you/you might heard them so they are not so massive spoilers but back then some of them were just rumours, but now they got certain.

There is a reason why this game called "Farewell" but not for the reason you think. We won't lose William nor see Max's moving in other city etc. Farewell term is actually stands for developer's hinting at you something,like like.. playing as Max for the last time -yet you MAY NOT see Max and Chloe for the last time ;)

I need to say this first, episode isn't empty and there are many stuff to do. There will be many side games/puzzles which you will be able to play with Chloe, so story doesn't only include their sitting on couch and reading their letters to each other or only seeing dialogues between them. Imagine Tlou's left behind DLC, (not its ending tho :D) there will be many games (dare,hide and seek/ hiding in closet, pirates) you can play with /stuff to do with Chloe which you can fail or win... since it will be depenant to yor choices, and there will be many adorable variants

Episode itself aren't that short either; its lenght won't be that short, it will be like 1h+ Again, there will be many comfy stuff to do.

Yesss, they will dress like a pirate (remember the pirate photo you saw in Max's room in ep1) you will see them like that.

I told you that it got certain that this game will be all prior to tragic events. As you know, William's alive so is Bongo and you will get chance to see them. Even Joyce -both of them will show up closer to the ending and don't worry whole episode will be comfy

This is not spoiler so, but it is a runour so;
+ There is a little possibility that Daughter will make cover of Jonathan Morali's Max & Chloe song for this episode. Don't get all whooshhhh on me yet, this is not certain but I have heard that they are keeping it in mind.

It's the year Blade Runner takes place.

>1h+
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Pricefield & Family/Friends Christmas DLC when?

...

One sided, meaning Warren cucks Max by choosing Brooke over her.

Also as usual, a bunch of people getting angry that the devs/VAs have different opinions/interpretations and calling them retarded because of it.
Classy.

Max & Chloe post bae full length sequel is coming in 2019 CONFIRMED!

Max and Chloe wedding rehearsal dinner

>5 days until C L O U D 9 comes as an early Christmas present

>1h+
So, 40 minutes on average

So, a bae sequel mini episode with Chloe as protagonist?

>so story doesn't only include their sitting on couch and reading their letters to each other
Honestly I'd be fine even with just this, LiS does slice of life better than even most Japanese VNs.

I'd seriously love just a slice of life series of Max and Chloe living in Seattle together.. No big monsters, no tornados or fires, no big threats, just the two of them together in a big city

They should get married in the Summer or Autumn. As for what year, that'd be up to them and when they felt they were ready. I'd guess around 5 or so years after the storm.
2019 sounds like a good year.

m!Chloe looks like FtM there, Max is perfect (as usual) though.

Maybe they can get married in Arcadia Bay. Surely the dead corpses will be cleared up by then, right?

What the fuck has happened to the general? This used to be a safe haven for comfy cuteposting, now faggots are discussing the game non-stop. Seriously. What the hell do you think this is? Reddit?

If you want to post-text, go there. I don't want to blame Amberfaggots, but before BtS this wasn't nearly as big a problem.

First the tranny and now this. You fuckers are pathetic.

...

I want to kiss boys!

I'd like that too but unfortunately it won't happen because nobody wants to canonize one ending by showing a future beyond the game. Which I can at least respect that thinking.
If you want to continue Max's and Chloe's story and see their trials, maturing, and fluff then you have to turn to fellow fans. Thankfully there's no shortage of great stuff (Though some more well-written and realistic post-Bae fics would be nice) and hopefully the coming bonus episode will inspire more Pricefield content.

>This used to be a safe haven for comfy cuteposting
Hey, all I want to do is cutepost about Amberprice

>Oh another video of a model swap and putting Max into BtS, that could be kind of cool
>Get to 15 seconds in
Oh this gonna be good

No it means
In S2 if you load your save and have picked Bae you get to see a blue punk walking by and then soon after a tsunami hits and you get a bad end
If you picked Bay you see Max Caulfield in a photo gallery that the plot requires you to go to and you can say "Hi"

:)

Is this some kind of reverse trolling

PRICE!

There were always some good discussions here as well as plenty of cuteposting. That hasn't changed, but recently some have been some intent on causing shipping wars or shit talking. That's uncomy and has become the focus of things at times because it's so obnoxious and not everyone ignores it. Unfortunately a few idiots can have a big impact. Last thread had some really nice and comfy stuff. Gives me hope for what things will be like in the future.

Deck9/SE is all for post-s1 Max and Chloe mini epilogue as I mentioned. So don't worry, they didn't scrap that idea. Just bear in mind, none of endings will be canon and they will considering to use ambiguity of time travel plot which were never explained for *something*

Also let's remind this again; they didn't certainly say we are seeing them for the last time. They only said we are playing as Max for the last time, as I told you.

If Dontnod made a post bae episode, it'd be 1h of going around finding dead bodies with Chloe saying "I wish Rachel was here" before they both ultimately kill themselves

My heart

She'll do way more than just that.

>"What if we can't find her?"
>"Don't worry, I've got that one covered too."
>"You do?"
>"Yep, in fact, anything you could come up with, I'll handle it. There could be flamethrowers, an army of robot ninjas, and a motherfucking dragon on a leash between you and her, and I would still find a way to get you there."
>"Chloe fucking Price, my magical Shakespeare fairy."

Nice. I'd actually play that.

...

There isn't a single thing that isn't wrong about this image.

>1h of going around finding dead bodies

dead bodies after an """EF6 tornado""" that wasn't even real! :)

It's a still from this video.
youtube.com/watch?v=yZ56iz4EIhk
Really nice but I'm not too crazy about the music choice or overuse of action shots.

So the game only happens in Max's head, confirmed

>When Chloe is telling Rachel about how she speaks to William in her dreams, how she has never told anyone else

"It used to be the only part of my life that mattered."
>The way she looks right in Rachel's eyes and smiles when she says "used to be"

I teared up

>one of endings will be canon and they will considering to use ambiguity of time travel plot which were never explained for *something*
But even taking that third choice greatly affects the franchise because it canonizes the idea that there are multiple timelines and than that opens a whole pandora's box of implications, like the implication that all of BtS could be in its own timeline where Rachel and Chloe could end up together and where none of s1 would happen

Are the devs even aware what they are doing to the people playing this game

...

And that would be absolutely awful right?
Fuck people who aren't you hoping for a happy end.

Who said it wan EF-6? I remember hearing that and thinking "That doesn't exist".
I think it was Max, who is by no means a weather expert, or Warren, who probably should have known better. It was probably said for exaggeration more than trying to be factual.
You're right that tornadoes do happen in Oregon. Not super common and usually not higher scales, but they're not freak occurrences.

It means Chloe and Max are trying to save people from something that, as the game hints, isn't real.

>Who said it wan EF-6?
It was Warren.

So I guess it's not only Max that's a schizo but Chloe too.
Or maybe Max is a schizo and Chloe is on an acid trip the whole game?
Shit, who knows.

For every one of those happy timelines there is one were something terrible happens.
Discussing events and characters of the games become pointless because then someone can say it's not that way in another timeline. It effectively destroys LiS and BtS.
The entire idea of how many timelines exist in the LiS universe is left undefined for a reason and to confirm there are multiple is to decide for people who would have already made up their minds.

>this will be a comfy episode
thank god. thank you so much

I should have known when they were doing stuff like this before the game even was released that we were in for the feels trip of a lifetime.

And we are not gonna take anyone seriously who can't even solve basic science experiment.

>I am not scientist but...
>Even tho I play one at school but...

Well the tornado is real but Max has no reason to think she could suddenly make it go away. Even Chloe's offer is spoken with uncertainty and like she feels obligated to at least offer it. People still die in the storm and it's tragic, but the solace is that many more people survive it.
Max and Chloe would probably feel guilt for a time over everything but eventually come to the realization they're not to blame for it. They were two girls caught up in something far beyond their comprehension.

Okay. Warren's a smart kid (at least Max thinks so) but he doesn't know everything. He's the one who texted Max hours before she was in the town saying how the storm was getting bad. But then he sat still that whole time in the diner, helped people, but didn't try to find shelter? Hopefully he's thinking a little clearer in the final timeline and David arrives and helps him.
