FIVE DAYS UNTIL CHRISTMAX
Adrian Baker
Fuck I wish they didn't tarnish Chloe and William's relationship like that. I always liked Chloe putting William on the tallest pedestal ever. But her questioning if William ever lied to her was pretty harsh
>Welcome home, Max >Now we're totally bonded for life >That's okay, we will. Forever. >I've been trying to get out of Arcadia Bay since pretty much you left >You make me feel like I still have a reason for being in Arcadia >So it's time to start moving forward in time >Don't look so sad, I'm never leaving you >Stop beating yourself up! We've both paid out dues! >You've made me laugh and smile like I haven't in years >[Many, many, other quotes from Chloe] All that's apparently worthless But... >Goodbye Max Written once in a diary years before the start of the first game is totally valid and forever sums up Chloe's feelings
Okay.
Dominic Peterson
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

Here is some info(s) about Farewell. Lots of things may sound familiar to you but back then they were just rumours, but now some of them got certain. This ll only explaining how story will evolve between them.
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 adon't worry episode will be comfy
This is not spoiler but it is a rumour 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 whoosh on me yet, this is not certain but I have heard that they are keeping it in mind.
Wyatt Sullivan
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"
ALWAYS! (I just they became transparent and so did Kate. Wowsers.)
Don't their lips ever get sore?

youtube.com/watch?v=xrfVaPNMCM8 They'll always be soulmates Goodbye to my Santa Monica dream Fifteen kids in the backyard drinking wine You tell me stories of the sea And the ones you left behind
Goodbye to the roses on your street Goodbye to the paintings on the wall Goodbye to the children we'll never meet And the ones we left behind And the ones we left behind
I'm somewhere, you're somewhere I'm nowhere, you're nowhere You're somewhere, you're somewhere I could go there but I don't
Rob's in the kitchen making pizza Somewhere down in Battery Park I'm singing songs about the future Wondering where you are
I could call you on the telephone But do I really want to know? You're making love now to the lady down the road No, I don't, I don't want to know
I'm somewhere, you're somewhere I'm nowhere, you're nowhere You're somewhere, you're somewhere I could go there but I don't
Goodbye to my Santa Monica dream Fifteen kids in the backyard drinking wine You tell me stories of the sea And the ones you left behind And the ones we left behind

I'm so empty now! I'm still not over my depression from LiS. I miss Max, I miss Chloe. I've become so attached to them.
Now I feel empty again! I wished (in game that is, not real life) that I could spend more time with Rachel. I've become so attached to Rachel, I adore her, I love her.
Remember the 2002 movie Minoity Report? Remember the VR scene? I wish that technology existed right now so I could spend time in arcadia bay. youtube.com/watch?v=8tjOVOSqdQ0

She's Max's #1
Justin Davis
INCOMING!!
Nicholas Phillips
I don't see too much of a problem of her questioning him in her mind because nothing results from it. It's a thought Chloe has but then it leaves as quickly as it entered. Seeing how much shit is going on with Rachel's parents makes sense that it would make Chloe think of her own parents. William was still undoubtedly a good man and father.
Leo Morgan
I think after BtS I'm way more warm and open to the idea of a brand new cast and a fresh setting for LiS2.
They could even set it on "Earth 2" or something where LiS and BtS never happened.
I just want a game that every aspect of it is fleshed out equally and has a solid writing from the start to the end.
Wasn't D9 a new studio who wanted to make a name for themselves? Well, they did. Now after Farewell they should fuck off to other projects and leave the franchise alone.
Not saying DONTNOD is necessarily any better of course, but it's better to have the title be trusted to a single studio.
I hope Square Enix (They hold the rights, right?) thinks something along these lines as well.
Jack Smith
It sickens me to think that some people here rejoice over what we know happened to Rachel, knowing the unbelievable amount of pain that it caused Chloe.
I can almost understand people being that pissed at Rachel for doing something so shitty, but how anyone can joke about it when it basically destroyed what little life Chloe had left in her hurts me on a level that a video game shouldn't be allowed to.
Lucas Green
Was Zak a fucking Pricefielder the whole time?
Grayson Foster
I know this is thr wrong thread, but I can not wait for The Last of Us part 2
Ian Scott
>another story where she does do that more could be fantastic
Parker Gray
>that some people here rejoice over what we know happened to Rachel ? Nobody here does that unless they're trolling and trying to stir shit. Nearly everyone has always acknowledged how important Rachel was to Chloe and how she helped her through a rough time. A bad ending to that relationship doesn't change that effect Rachel had on Chloe's life in that time.
Colton Long
>There is a reason why this game called "Farewell" but not for the reason you think. Oh FUCK that, I think we all are very aware of what happened the last time we were sold that dream.
Colton Peterson
They're just angry Pricefielders, user I don't agree with what the "Legion" does with this ship, but I'm in the same opinion as you. Rachel meant the absolute world to Chloe and her disappearance crushed her
Jack Rogers

Well, we got less than two weeks until the end of the year. Think someone can throw together a good fic by then? If not, the probably sometime in 2018 at the earliest.

Levi Murphy
Depends if they're going long term or one shot. Someone could get a one shot up by today, if they played BtS yesterday. A longer term story unless you were purely writing into the dark would probably require more planning.
Adam Bell
And why didn't they escape? They had a working truck, potentially thousands of dollars, and all the motivation in the world
Jaxson Peterson
I like how the ending was pretty uplifting and happy and then right at the end it gets fucking grim
Jayden Bennett
"Perfect. Sixty degrees every night, you and me on the Santa Monica pier, gorging on food truck food, smoking up, looking at the moon shining on the waves."
Real talk: Pricefield posts are not (and were never) anti-Rachel. No more than Amberprice posts are anti-Max. Make of that what you will. There's a place for both in Chloe's life and in the Life is Strange timeline.
Xavier Russell
Because they were afraid of what they'd find. Yes, they both pretended they were big shit next to Arcadia Bay, but all of the problems in Arcadia Bay basically solved themselves until Nathan fucked up the dosage.
Owen Gonzalez
I'm angry as much as you do for BtS, lad,I am sorry again and again. The whole episode was just hogwash, since they ruined endings it also affected the course of the story; Sera's plot was deeper than as we thought as I mentioned earlier, they didn't give enough screentime for other characters neither other than showing them ONLY in ending. Credits scene also, came from out of nowhere and added later.
I can't give guarentee about Farewell stuff will not change either, but I can only inform you about what is their intention.
Tyler Clark
>Because they were afraid of what they'd find. What does this even mean? They weren't afraid, they were excited
Ethan Young
Fuck. Max better treat Chloe right because she doesn't deserve this shit
Hudson Nguyen
That is the stupidest thing Deck9 has done. No LiS game can apparently end on a somewhat happy note. It always has to be suffering.
Ryan Baker
>tfw the whole fire goes out when Rachel gets shanked gave me the idea that Chloe is somehow subconsciously the one with Storm powers, and that's why the Storm doesn't come if she's dead in the bathroom >tfw I remember that the Storm's still there even if Chloe gets shot in the junkyard
Dang it. So much for using BTS to fix LiS massive plot holes. There's really no way to salvage that whole plot line, is there? Then again, I don't know if we can salvage this one either at this point... Man, what a let down.
Chase Jones
They're kids. They all talk big and excited about the future but when it comes down to it they balk.
Camden Cox
The Dark Room bit doesn't even make sense in a majority of BtS's endings - particularly the Truth ending with mellow Nathan
Wyatt Reed
Chloe called her 17 times that night. We will never know how many more times she pressed that same button, called that same number, and waited for Rachel to pick up, before she finally lost the final sliver of hope that she would ever hear her angel's voice on the other end again.
She probably still called it, just to hear her voice before leaving a voicemail that she knew would never reach her.
Joshua Hernandez
And they never left. They were so eager. So ready to face the world. And they never left. They didn't leave in three years. That's 1095 days to say 'fuck it' and leave. Given how tough their talk was, I'm going to assume it's bravado from kids who are foolhardy enough to boast but wise enough to know that the world would have rolled them.
There were probably many days where Rachel and Chloe woke up and said "today's the day" and said they were going to leave..only to not and say "we'll do it tomorrow" Just like there were probably many days where Max looked at her phone and said "today's the day"...only to not and say "I'll do it tomorrow"

Deck 9 should have been writing Season 2, and then Dontnod should have been working on Season 3. Basically, this prequel was a mistake, and the best we can hope for is that S2 learns from BtS and takes a crucial lesson from it, like BtS took 'don't make your endings actually erase the events of the game' from LiS.
Ethan Morgan
Of course Max will treat her right.
Leo Davis
Rachel's fucking dead.
Bentley Allen
I remember when I was playing the original game, I so badly wanted Max to make Chloe forget about Rachel. Every time she mentioned Rachel off hand, it hurt. But I told myself that Max could be everything to her that Rachel was and more, and because of that, everything would be okay in the Bae ending. Everything before that could be just a sad memory, a part of the past that Chloe could bury somewhere deep in the back of her mind and just...forget.
But now I see the way Chloe looks at Rachel every time they're together, and I know that is a lie.
Nathan Rodriguez
You don't have to worry about that, user, she will.

It's just because episode 3 finally shut retconfags up. I don't believe Amberprice negates Pricefield or vice versa. I'm not happy about what happened to Rachel but I'm happy deck9 respected the story and stayed more or less within a reasonable limit of what was established in LiS. Chloe loved Rachel, that was always clear, but did Rachel reciprocate? That was an open question. Deck9 has shown she did, but they also showed that Rachel is flawed like any real person and that there is no perfect person that can fix Chloe. She has to do that herself.
Josiah Howard
Too soon.
Charles Young
When you think about it, Rachel chose Max to save Chloe. She gave Max a test and helped her through it at times. If Rachel has to do with the powers then what stopped her from giving them to Chloe? Chloe would have used them to try to save her father and certainly save Rachel when she learned the truth about what happened to her. Perhaps Rachel realized she was no longer what Chloe needed. She made her own mistakes and paid for them heavily, she didn't want Chloe to meet the same kind of fate for doing something stupid. So she found the one person who could save Chloe, help her, and mature with her to be what she deserved.
Shake your hair, have some fun Forget our mothers and past lovers, forget everyone Oh, I'm so lucky, you are my best friend Oh, there's no one, there's no one that knows me like you do Remember when we cut our hair Both looked like boys But we didn't care Stick it out together like we always do Oh, there's no one, there's no one quite like you Oh Jump that 43 Are you wild like me Raised by wolves and other beasts I tell you all the time I'm not mad You tell me all the time I got plans Oh Jump that 43 Are you wild like me Raised by wolves and other beasts I tell you all the time I'm not mad You tell me all the time I got plans Me and you Me and you Me and you We could do better, I'm quite sure Me and you Me and you Me and you We could do better, I'm quite sure Me me me, me me and you Me me me, me me and you

In the dead of night I'll meet you in my sleep And in the morning light you'll wake up next to me Like a dream come true I'll take you where I roam Then follow you back home Tell me you care Tell me you care If I lose my way and forget what I need Just remind me now of what you give to me If you hold my hand and take me where you go I'll show you the side that no one knows I'm taking you there I'm taking you there
Nathan Reed
>It's just because episode 3 finally shut retconfags up. Not really. It really only strengthened the retcon case. The Jeffershit ending is entirely contrived given how BtS ends, particularly with the Truth ending.

Wait, people didn't like the BtS ending? It was a good supplement to the original and didn't fuck anything up, no major curveballs but it didn't need to be that kind of story.
