I dunno how people didn't understand this plot point. The point was that it's a parallel. The Dahnans were still a developing species that were quickly developing into eventually exhausting their planet, and the real Renans followed their societal advancements several centuries ahead. They've already exhausted their planet and annexed Dahnans, culturally appropriating some of them to make up for most of their inhabitants dying out due to a lack of atmosphere. But the culturally appropriated Dahnans mistakenly thought themselves as Renans and then discriminated and enslaved the Dahnans while reaping all the output for themselves.

It's a bit of an allegory of how less developed 3rd world societies got completely appropriated and taken advantage of by the 1st world countries irl. People who came out of it a citizen of the 1st world country through generations didn't somehow go back to the 3rd world countries to make it better. They would rather associate themselves with the 1st world countries. Also their racism was inherently flawed due to both of them being manipulated species by the same entity, as well as being literally the same race. The implication was that a lot of the higher up Renans knew the truth and chose to rather live in luxury, and the newer generations grew up none the wiser

Compared to other Tales games which are generally clown shows where characters deal with issues with the power of friendship and just beating the one human somehow responsible for everything, Arise conclusion was that they need to reintegrate the appropriated Dahnans through the leadership of guys like Dohalim. The DLC kinda fucks a lot of that up, but I prefer to think the DLC story never happened.

Like don't even tell me that Berseria's endless speeches fitting in the word "revenge" every other sentence made any sense at all. You know the whole plot was, a group of guys are just assholes who want to drain people's personality just on some opinion that it'll make things better. A raging shotacon just beats them down. That's it. Like there's no exploration on what revenge means or like whether or not draining ppl's emotions will accomplish anything, no reasonable explanation as to why half of the villains are doing what they are doing and why they did it.

As soon as Arise posed a theme and asked the audience to actually think about it, there were a bunch of ppl who are just like dur... I don't get it

It's still a slog though. Really gutting to get 90 bolts in and slip up.

This is my biggest reason for not doing it even with the crater.

The idea of getting like 185 dodges and then messing up once kills any motivation I have in doing it lol

The trailers sucked. The marketing sucked.

But the movie is really solid and should be watched. The animation is insane gorgeous as well.

Yeah this is basically what I'm hearing which is that everyone that didn't watch it (only watched trailers) says it sucks while the people that actually watched it says it's good

Obviously I'm gonna be more inclined to believe the people that actually watched it but idk it's kinda funny lol

I'm also sure that there were people that watched it that still didn't like it but this is just generally what I've noticed
