![]() ![]() To add my 2c, the battle for the Drifter's mind between Anubis and Judgement is an interesting one. This looks like the best interpretation I've seen so far. ![]() The only things I'm still struggling to find a personal interpretation for are the big floating matrix halo from the intro/ending, and how the monolith ghost birds play into everything. The Anubis is a symbol of hope and peace that is displayed in the architecture of the four races all throughout the course of their advancement. The Anubis side formed from the original faith of the four races that had driven their desire to make contact with god, which had then led to the creation of the Immortal Cell. I don't think the Titans were grown in the lab, though one is being reassembled - but I do believe that the shadow is manipulating the hyperlight powering the drones in order to rebuild that Titan. However, I say that the shadow side formed from the fear and hate of those opposed to unification, and converted those lives into the Titans - which is why they appear as if from no where in the vision of the past, from all directions (not just the south!) and begin to attack the survivors. The Immortal Cell could manipulate the world through hyperlight, as that had been the power source that led to its creation I agree with you on this. People feared their minds being linked as it was happening, which poisoned and divided the Immortal Cell who they were connected through, and led to the explosion in the intro. And while it was a noble goal, I don't think it failed due to betrayal. The god's power could be imbued within all sentient life, linking all hearts and minds (without having to make an Evangelion soup). This doesn't inherently mean their god did or didn't exist all that matters is what they created in their efforts. Much like the story of Akira was about creating a god and Evangelion was to unify all humans into a godly tang soup, I think that the four races colluded to reach out to their god with the power of hyperlight, and ended up creating the Immortal Cell. I think these statues, which have an archaic-looking design, imply that the races (maybe originating with the Otters?) worshiped Anubis before they reached their technological peak. There are three similar-looking Anubis statues in the game: one in the east, one in the underground city, and one in the very first area of the game. To me, it just makes more sense that the four races, at their peak, found a way to harness the power of their god, the Anubis. But I cannot agree that the Immortal Cell is an AI, and I'm not sure why multiple people continue to suggest it - the only evidence I've seen is that the underground city looks like a server farm, but that doesn't feel substantial enough to me. I agree with a lot of what you say in light of the translations. ![]()
