That would be amazing, thank you so much!

2:54:53 "Where did they pull this idea from?" Just revisited an interview that was held with a few devs at Sandfall Interactive (one being the lead writer, Jennifer Svedberg-Yen) that was aimed at responding to fan written questions. One question came up regarding her inspiration for the story's thematic cores of loss and grief. Her answer was more or less along the lines of the following: There were a number of inspirations. One key component was that the team had written Clair Obscur's story during the pandemic of 2020. A time where the threat of sudden loss was constantly in the air and people were trying to come together to help others prosper despite how bleak things seemed. Svedberg-Yen added that she also felt that her own experiences with loss influenced her ideas for the narrative. She said that for her, grief not only encompasses losing people, but also losing parts of yourself. Losing aspects of life that completely decimated potential futures you had imagined for yourself. Given how invested you two have always been in this game's conception, I intend on putting together a list of development-related videos for you to check out once this journey has finished. One of which being the aforementioned interview (which I won't share now due to containing big spoilers). I feel that watching such videos helps fill that hollow feeling once you've finished a really impactful show/game and you're just left staring at the screen like ".....man...it's over".

Guess I should start getting my notes ready for the next part. Things are about to get... busy.

1:15:23 Hey, hold on now 😆. When a party member dies in combat, they'll be brought back with 1 HP, so you can just heal 'em up again with a Chroma Elixir by holding triangle. Additionally, you can revive party members during battle by using the items by pressing triangle. You can also use those items to restore HP and AP w/o having to use any skills. Ya'll just leaving Monoco out to dry lol. Heresy.

Oh yeah, nearly forgot. Ken, wanted to ask ya what turned based games you've played before (besides Clair Obscur and South Park obvs). The last two times I asked ya ended up being sick and busy editing lol. Just wanted to know bc I'd love to know what similar kinds of content I could suggest for the future, as someone who's an avid enjoyer of the genre.

26:25 BTW there's a special cutscene that plays should you try to approach the Paintress before defeating the two Axons. Ya don't need to watch this as part of the playthrough like the other optional cutscenes I sent ya, it's just a neat little extra detail. https://youtu.be/2mmNOpiPTpE?si=w4vZN7FM-n2ioB1z

Silver lining about this wonky upload schedule is that I get to watch these as soon as they come out now that they’re not uploaded during my shift. Or, is this the new time slot for Clair Obscur?
