The Scariest Thing This Halloween Is Our Main Man Odysseus In 600 Strike That’s All I’m Saying.

MAJOR SPOILERS FOR LEGENDS ARCEUS AND THE INDIGO DISC

⚠️⚠️⚠️

Ok. It's confirmed by the indigo dial dlc that if you bring out Ogrepon when fighting Kieran, his AI will change and he gets special dialogue

So what if you could do that with nicknames?

What if in legends arceus, you named a pokemon after Emmet (or even use his Japanese name, Kudari), and Ingo has special dialogue about that name specifically. Like it triggers something in his fragmented mind that makes him remember more. What if you name a pokemon after him? What reaction would he have?

Or even for legends ZA if Emmet makes an appearance? Like, he hasn't seen his brother in....we don't know how long, at minimum over a year, and then we pull up and name something after his brother. It would be so interesting if he had some sort of reaction. Even more so if we send out a pokemon like chandelure which was his brother’s ace.

4 days until Odysseus gets home

Odysseus for the entirety of the Iliad and Odyssey.

Ithaca saga spoilers technically⚠️

There’s something about those arrow sounds that just make me…really happy. Like yeah, buddy, you’re an archer. Mess ‘em up, bud. It’s like the reverse of the Polyphemus club splats.

“Watch where the birds fly, they will lead us to land, there we’ll hunt for food my second in command”

Says that tactful and guileful man, gentle, royal, rugged, Odysseus, MASTER MARINER, and King of Ithaca.

Ody…my guy…

The birds will lead you to food.

Seagulls gather in flocks above water when there are fish near the surface.

FISH YOU CAN EAT.

BUDDY.

RAMSHACKLE A FISHING ROD. FOOD IS RIGHT THERE. USE SPEARS IF SO DESIRED.

I adore Odysseus, but I’m losing it actively, I do believe.

Am I going crazy or does thw beginning of Odysseus’ part in 600 strike sound a bit like the beginning of Athena’s verse in Little Wolf?

Like… “I don’t think you seem to get it” sounds similar to “I’ve no respect for bullies”…

Who knows I guess.

So I might be SUPER late to the party, but as I was once again listening to the entirety of Epic, it has dawned on me that Zeus’ “he will burn your house and home…” in The Horse and the Infant has the SAME EXACT MELODY as Siren Penelope’s “he will chase you high and low so find a place he’d never go…” in Suffering.

Jorge is a musical genius and I am going absolutely bonkers. Have a wonderful day.

Hey

You mates think that Odysseus’ voice is a bit hoarse or gravelly from shouting to fleets for 20 years of his life?

Just curious

FR I was so scared that Jorge was only going to include Scylla, so I was so happy when he revealed his reference gadget for Charybdis. We love our chittering, whale calling, whirlpool with teeth and her song SLAPS.

Not seeing enough appreciation for Charybdis as a song actually

I have like…0 expertise in music, but I WILL find a way to make a motif for Achilles just for me. Just because I want to. For my little hypothetical Ilion the musical.

Achilles’ instrumental motif would have to be something that can be played slowly for elegance, but also rapidly and can be distorted to truly encapsulate his rage. Something similar to how Odysseus’ motif and instrument (guitar) can be sped up, slowed down, and distorted to show his caring, wits, and ruthlessness.

Achilles is a great warrior, but also a musician. We see him drag Hector’s body around Troy, but we also see him gracefully playing his lyre to Patroclus. My current thought is that maybe Achilles’ instrument could be a violin. It’s graceful, can be played in high action scenes, and we have that lovely distortion of the instrument that can work beautifully when used properly. Oh yeah and it has an electric counterpart which Jorge can use for more supernatural moments in the story…or something like that.
