Oh right — the writer at the time, "Yakitori-sensei," told us: "this is a story full of sunlight." Me: WHERE.

You can't survive it without joking around this much — if the protagonist weren't the Trailblazer you'd be too crushed to even continue. That's Amphoreus for you…

Dropping this in the actual story instead of just an official trailer should be illegal. Thanks to that I almost broke down sobbing in public.
これを公式動画で出すんじゃなくて、作中に出してくるのは反則やろって思ったわお陰で外で号泣しかけたわ

Castorice's past is just way too painful... if it'd make my girl Cas happy, I'd gladly touch her and die.

I genuinely never thought Mydei would die back then… I mean, he was the kind of guy who wouldn't die even if you killed him, right…? And yet… when he went, it was almost shockingly quick…

Early on I was shocked at how the mysterious deer's eyes resemble Ruan Mei's.

The "stop looking at me" at the end made me laugh (while crying)

Couldn't stop laughing at him regressing into a needy baby, craving motherly comfort.

The deer staring at us at the end — its antlers regrow, so it's the "symbol of death and rebirth," right?
最後のこっち見てた鹿って角が生え変わる動物だから「死と再生の象徴」なんだっけ？

Yelling "YESSSSSS" at the Cyrene part — yeah, I get it.

Maybe the deer at the end ties into Abundance? What Cas governs is life and death too.

A story full of "sunlight" — the dark-red, all-hope-severed kind…

Editor's note

Amphoreus broke Japanese players in a very specific way — the reactions are equal parts grief (“wait, does literally EVERYONE die?!”) and gallows affection for Castorice, whose “stay away from me” reads as the kindest line in the arc.
