The Chest

This month ended one of my favorite games: The Binding of Isaac. His last expansion, Afterbirth+, explains the end of the story of Isaac. I write about this game, but not about the story.

Yea, it contain spoilers.

Mother and Father had a boy called Isaac. Mother wanted a girl, so she dresses Isaac like one. Father didn't liked that, so he discussed with Mother. Mother was angry, and she thought that all was Isaac's fault, and cuz of that she took a knife and tried to kill little Isaac, but Father prevented it. After that Father left home. Mother was crying, a lot. Isaac felt guilty, so he found a chest in her room, he locked inside, and wait until his dead.

Stories look better in cursive. This is story makes lot of sense while you are playing, believe me. For example, in Afterbirth and Afterbirth+ were added two new bosses: The Hush and Delirium. I took the cooler images, they don't look like that in the game.
The Hush is you fighting against the dead, in other words, you being suffocated. Hush scales with your damage, more strong you are, more strong he is, because he is you. Delirium is an amalgam of all the bosses that you fought, and it is the last step before die, you remembering all your life.
There are other thing curious, all the monsters that you fight are biblical references, like Satan or the angels; Isaac's fears, like spiders or eyes; and how Isaac looks himself.
Other fact is that all playable characters are also how Isaac looks himself, like Judas, who betrayed Jesus; Eve, who committed the first sin; Magdalene, the girl that Mother wanted...
And the most shocking fact, if you beat the game, Isaac dies. There are two possibles finales.
The first one is Isaac going to the heaven or the hell and after that, to the Chest. In this final, Isaac fights against himself and Satan. After beating them, he admit his guilty and locks up in the Chest.
The second one in apparently after you get the first final, cuz Isaac is going to face against Delirium, and after wining the match, Isaac with die.

Diamante

Some time ago I wrote about Bravely Default, and today I'm gonna write about Bravely Second, the sequel. It will be full of spoilers. So go ahead if you want read it, but I warned you.

Besides the spoiler in the title, that in this part was quite meh (Send Player), there was another thing that really shocked me when I was playing that game, the Ba'als. The Ba'als looks like some kind of monster but they aren't really like monsters. The are some examples of Ba'al: ONE, TWO, THREE. They look so weird, like they aren't from this world, or even this dimension, just like the angels in Evangelion. The "job" of the Ba'als is reach Luxendarc and destroy it, just like the angels, such a coincidence.

In the late game they explain that all the Ba'als are result of the memories of Vega, more concretely, the memories with her husband Altair, but these memories are being corrupted by Providence, the final boss. For example; the ONE is where Vega and Altair worked, it was in a laboratory, in a shitty laboratory, cuz the bosses of Altair hated him because he was too intelligent, and cuz of that they send him in that shitty laboratory where he meet again with Vega; the TWO is the first meet of those two, they were stuck in an electric chair of those ski parks, they talked a bit, and bla bla, when the machine worked again, each went on his way; THREE is the second meet with Altair, it was a rainy day, and one of those two, I don't remember, didn't have an umbrella, so they share the one.

Okay, now that more or less I explained what is a Ba'al, let's talk about the Ba'al of Ba'als: Diamante. 

Diamante is Vega's last memory about Altair. When Altair proposed marriage to Vega, he didn't have money to buy a ring, to gain money he get a job, he needed to go to Luxendarc, he promised that when he is back he will buy one, he never come back.

The peculiarity of Diamante over the others Ba'als is that he is immortal. He cannot die, you can try it many times you want, but he will always come back. This means that Vega is living in a continuous loop of despair while she was waiting to Altair. Even the song is like that a constant crescendo that never ends. And all of this only because the bosses of Altair were afraid of his wisdom and send him to that shitty lab. 

Quite shitty end (of my post, I mean), huh? Idk, I didn't feel like I write all what I wanted, it's more easy feel that write.
