I mean, she's the first character we see in the game who doesn't have any cybernetic enhancements, until later on when she's saved. Even then, I think she only had implants installed that kept her alive.
Notice how it’s not zooming on the faces and the art style is stylish but not realistic. Now compare it to Starfield. Yeeesh. Art direction matters y’all
"Firmware update? Why does the coffee machine need a firmware update?" Because we live in a consumerist distopia trying to become a regular one Korsica
It's because the Coffee Machine needs to know pronouns, Korsica. It doesn't want to offend people in the Western Audience. Edit1 : Judging from the replies I get, looks like a few freaks gets triggered already. Not my fault you're all born retarded. Edit2 : This is an excellent advice, hear me out... Go to a graveyard. No, not to bury yourselves. I'd bury you all personally, but no. Go to a Graveyard and look around. Think about how you didn't give a shit about those people. Know that; that's where you're gonna end up one day and just like how you walk through that graveyard and you didn't give a single shit about anybody there... 99% of the people you interact with, don't care either. So fuck off. Why are you living in the prison of other people's opinions? So go screw yourselves.
I mean, with ovens, fridges, dishwashers and washing machines getting firmware updates. A coffee machine doesn't feel that off. But yeah, what's up with that?
i feel her pain. i bought a microwave once that thought it was a dishwasher because the microcontroller had the wrong firmware on it. how the hell does that even happen?
Her design is kinda brilliant. She never changed clothes switching sides rather her clothes were just torn up into her new look, and coupled with her new arms it changes her feel to match that of her new compatriots.
Perhaps that's her uniform while on the job? But anyways I agree her design and others look nice. God I wish I had the Xbox series X regardless what anyone says. This is the exact reason I want to own all platforms just to enjoy gaming overall as an experience and hobby.
@@yuichikita6018 Suddenly I'm imagining her having gotten zapped out of her sneakers, and when she wakes up she only has a RIGHT shoe because Peppermint had one to spare. 😆
The joke of Korsica complaining about the coffee is one of my favorites, because it pulls double duty. It's funny in its own right, as a jab at modern "smart" tech, but it's also a brick joke set up like an hour in advance, because you can find that a robot in R&D intentionally pushed a firmware update to cause the coffee machines to put out decaf.
Finishing the game I realized why Korsica's bossfight is all confined to parrying her attacks. It would break continuity a bit too much if I summoned Korsica to stall Korsica.
It throws me off how she's both cute and cool at the same time... Like... Badass and at times really adorable. With her banter, her jokes and if you noticed, she was pulled really easily along with Chai. Like high-fiving and everything.
The password joke is so underrated. The fact it's established that, as the head of Security, Korsica memorized her password to avoid any security leaks and even sprawled around her level are messages on the sides of the walls saying "Reminder to change your login password every 48 minutes to avoid security leaks" just to be revealed at the end of the game, when Peppermint inputs all of the boss passwords, that her password was just "PASSWORD" sends me into fucking hysterics.
While she's working for Vanderlay her portrait faces left, away from the rest of the shot. After she's laid off, her portrait faces right, towards the shot. There's a concept in cinematography that a subject facing the rest of the image has direction, we can see where the subject is going, and directs the focus to that spot, while facing off camera does the opposite respectively. Knowing this, we can interpret her portrait switching sides as her finding focus and direction, but it can also be a pun on "switching to the right side."
I just got banned from an university for changing careers 5 times, when is only legal to do it 2 times... I keep getting emails that say i need to complete my career change every month lol
The game is pretty much spoiled for me. But gotta say the story character dynamics and world is top notch. Not sure if I'm a rhythm guy though. Never played. Shame I play on Sony.
That might be my favorite joke in the game. It's so dumb that they wouldn't think to remove her, but its established that the leadership is incompetent and lazy anyway so it still makes sense, and it helps conveniently explain how the gang knows what the bad guys are up to in a way that's funnier than Peppermint or Macaron just hacking it or something. And I love the way it gets reinforced later with "I got another email, man they *really* should fix that!"
This game is incredible! The end didnt even comment on the "5 ways to make your boss like you tab" also the other performers listed on the poster are perfect, include a "guy who plays bongos"
@@moxikyutube6924 Each Member of the Team would have a Backstory and More In depth character arcs to how they became who they are and the bonds they share and the wacky and awesome music adventures they have
@@kelp-ist3469Doesn't mean they can't re open it. They'd be stupid not to realize their mistake. And even if they don't, the developers are still out there. They could work from the ground up, start a new company, and try to buy the rights back. I know this is grasping at straws, but one thing I've learned is that nothing is truly impossible.
Or better don't play with "ships" because it's stupid? It's not your story but devs, they decide, seriously this story really doesn't need love as addition.
@@Sebek031 Ships are just a fandom thing, nothing wrong with them as long as you don't try to shove them through the throat of other people in the fandom :^)
@@Gogito4 No, because the only one that's canon or official is the developer's who had the creativity to do what shippers didn't, which is actually make a story.
@@DA_BOID or you can just tell a genuine story with great characters and let the fandom have fun with who they wanna ship, regardless of that character.
I laughed like hell when I found out that her password is just password which also I do something similar because I can't remember my own password to save my life
It's such a layered joke, too. She's supposed to be the head of Security, with the explicit detail that she memorizes all her passwords, making it seem like it would have been impossible to crack the code without getting her to reveal it. In addition, her actually taking her job seriously makes her seem like she knows what she's doing regarding password safety. Her high-profile security clearance password for the super secret ai project just being "PASSWORD" is brilliant because it throws everything you thought you knew about Korsica into question and you're literally at the end of the game.
I worked security for 4 years. Pretty much every security place I worked just had password or something nearby written with the password for computers. Most of the time you are just there to respond to emergencys and delegate responses. It's more administrative then being a cop.
Haw... she is a secret cat lover. 21:55 nice touch there. She was probably jealous of not having a flying robot cat of her own when trying to kill chai. 6:15
Don't forget that Korsika must join to the team because she doesn't use a key, but a password, which is "password". Prety fun if you think that is a easy password.
@@lewismartin3430 But when she goes to work for the “real” Vandalay, her tights aren’t ripped, but are otherwise you’re telling me the downfall of evil Vandalay happened in 3 hours?
4:10 this scene was the first thing that introduced me to Hi-Fi Rush. Someone had posted this clip and it was reccomended to me, and thats when i learned of this masterpiece of a game.
@@kegmonkey5648 Haha, you kind of have a point. Peter was conceived as a relatable everyman at first, so he should look like the majority of the population. He became a put-upon hero after realizing what happens when you turn the other way. You could argue that he and Chai are the same character, except Chai is a bit goofier.
Chai has musical rhythm powers that come from an mp3 player in his chest and allowing him to fight, parry and push back heavy ass robots and giant mecha using a guitar made from scrap and held with magnetics. I'd say him having cartoon character level durability is one of the lesser surprising things he has.
Huh……I never thought about that before. He does kind of sound similar. I’m not certain about the Finn part, but it’s admittedly been years since I had watched storm hawks.
18:07 Oh no, The "Inside/outside the box" overused phrase In Phoenix Wright games I'll never understand what exactly It's supposed to mean. My oldest and most fearsome enemy of all time. Never-understanding trauma strikes back D'x
Korsica was the only one who got into Vandelay through her own hard work and grit while everyone else got to be bosses through simply just being Kale's friends
If you look deeper than that coffee machine not working is way bigger thing than you think. There was an entire conspiracy by the robots unsatisfied with Kale taking over and they decided to disable coffee machines so they give only decaf. Funny thing is that Korsica not having coffee is suspected to be main reason for her switching sides.
This game is such a gem! It's so refreshing seeing an actual game and not a micro transaction ridden pile of slop with a topping of a day one patch. The artstyle even looks like it would be perfect for a saturday morning cartoon series that I would unironically watch!
mission briefing is the short explanation of what the mission will be... mission report would mean reporting what happened on the mission, so you CAN'T do it before the mission... that's not what report means
