FIVE DAYS UNTIL CHRISTMAX

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

Chloe is #1

>Goodbye Max

>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.

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

I like how being gay is a choice in bts

CUTEST COUPLE IN ARCADIA BAY NOW AND ALWAYS

Still the cutest couple in Arcadia Bay.

Still soulmates.

A L W A Y S

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.

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"

>eat Lisa

>eat your own foot

ALWAYS!
(I just they became transparent and so did Kate. Wowsers.)

Don't their lips ever get sore?

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

BFFs for ever

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.

She's Max's #1

INCOMING!!

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.

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.

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.

Was Zak a fucking Pricefielder the whole time?

I know this is thr wrong thread, but I can not wait for The Last of Us part 2

>another story where she does do that more could be fantastic

>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.

>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.

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

>Don't their lips ever get sore?
Max always carries some chapstick.

youtube.com/watch?v=qlKhWkKpMEU

And we could run away
Before the light of day
You know we always could
The mountains say, the mountains say

200% cute give me a sticker of this for the car

Smart thinkin, Maxaroni

I'm somewhere, you're somewhere
I'm nowhere, you're nowhere

Rachel! Never leave me!

Rachel! I don't want her do die!

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

>Chloe really wants out of the photo booth here, but she is so in love with Rachel that a simple kiss on the cheek calms her and gets her to pose

How long until the first revisionist fanfic of BtS is published?
How much longer until the first good one is published?

Ring Ring

>We never actually escaped, did we?
>We've got time
>All the time in the world

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.

NO! no! no! Stop it ! I can not take it!
Read my other post

>>Chloe really wants out of the photo booth here, but she is so in love with Rachel that a simple kiss on the cheek calms her and gets her to pose

s-stop user ;_;

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.

And why didn't they escape? They had a working truck, potentially thousands of dollars, and all the motivation in the world

I like how the ending was pretty uplifting and happy and then right at the end it gets fucking grim

"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."

Chris Price is the best fanfic out there.

Max loves Chloe!
Chloe loves Max!

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.

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.

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.

>Because they were afraid of what they'd find.
What does this even mean? They weren't afraid, they were excited

Fuck. Max better treat Chloe right because she doesn't deserve this shit

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.

>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.

They're kids. They all talk big and excited about the future but when it comes down to it they balk.

The Dark Room bit doesn't even make sense in a majority of BtS's endings - particularly the Truth ending with mellow Nathan

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.

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.

;_;

I'm somewhere, you're somewhere
I'm nowhere, you're nowhere

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"

A dream with a target of 'someday' is as useful as a penny in a casino.

good thing this isn't my canon :)

KILL ME PETE

This is probably the truth

Fug ;_;

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.

Of course Max will treat her right.

Rachel's fucking dead.

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.

You don't have to worry about that, user, she will.

Can anyone send the webm where Baechel protects her girl from Damon

Where she says "reeeee dont fucking touch her"

have a screen grab to tide you over until some mp4 lord produces the proper video

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.

Too soon.

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

With you in the boat there, I almost forgot
How I once said I was better off just being dead
Better off just being dead
I didn't know you yet
And you might've said
You were better off just being dead
But I'm looking out for you, my friend
I'm looking

That one was up there too
Oddly enough, BtS showed the homeless lady before she was homeless

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

>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.

Hubris is so often punished fiercely by the heavens.

how do we buy life is strange title rights

i have like twenty dollars

everyone empty your pockets

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.

Man, I will miss the threads after episode 2 was released. We were so happy back then... everything was so cool, well-written

Why rachel ! Why did you get a tattoo? You lost all my respect

I have a quarter on the desk that I can't spend because I need it for coinflips

>"We've got time."
>"All the time in the world."

If only it were true.

Zak is trying to persuade Square Enix that they should publish his game and, to impress them, takes on his multi-armed form and says, "Now I am become Koch, the destroyer of dreams."
