All the scenes in the new update where Eggman and Sage are together/interact.
See all Final Horizons Eggman cutscenes here: • Sonic Frontiers: The F...
I really like their dynamic and how it emphasized the reasons Eggman values and praises Sage. She shows true loyalty, efficiency in serving and protecting him as created, and prioritizes his safety and desires. Like she talks about saving him and the world for him to rule specifically which he smiles smugly at like "finally somebody here understands it's all about me ):D" and how she protects him during the final battle.
These are the same things she did in the base game and the specific reasons he praises and warms up to her, also for how calling himself her father is another way to take pride in her as her genius creator, as he said in the Egg Memos. It's for selfish, self serving, self praising reasons as ever. I like that and it's very in character that way and how it's possible for such a dynamic to exist with his narcissism.
Sage is the one giving things to him, protecting him, serving him, and showing loyalty, support, and respect for his desires while Eggman just takes. She does exactly what he wants as she’s created for and is willing and enthusiastic unlike a lot of creations of his. Eggman still hasn’t done shit for Sage, except praise her when she does what he wants but then becomes grumpy and snaps at her every time she does something he doesn’t. He does it again in this too when he’s seemingly really jealous and pissed off when he notices her looking at Super Sonic with admiration lol
I also really like the ending. Eggman isn’t the overly affectionate gushing throwing arms around people type, it doesn’t suit his demeanor and behavior and I’m glad to see that hasn’t been suddenly forced with Sage. This isn’t over the top and uncomfortable OOC like in fanon. I like how it’s a subtle and small gesture, with him extending his arm with hand out to her but looking away and forward. He’s quiet, solemn, and reserved.
His demeanor and body language is important. He takes a breath that seems like a “sigh well, here goes” kind of way then mumbles it, not much, just small words of praise towards her doing the things he created and praised her for before- doing what he wants her to and serving her purpose as his protector like she protected him in the fight, and calling her his daughter also has the same effect in encouraging her and he knows it, as well as how it’s appealing to him for his pride as he said in the memo.
It’s important to acknowledge he’s not shy at all, that’s the last word to describe him. He has the highest self esteem, self love, and confidence and it’s all genuine. It’s just hyper affectionate super warm and mushy gushy-ness, be it through feelings, words, or actions isn’t his thing. The most he’s ever going to hype someone up close to it is in a performative manipulative way to urge them to continue doing what pleases him, and he forces it in some cases more than others, you get varying degrees.
But I like how it’s on the more subtle side here, it’s even more telling of his true character. When he’s acting like this it aligns with that reasoning again but with a new look at his style of showing it in a physical subtle manner, with his behavior being similar to the scene where she saved him in Cyber Space and said he was proud of her for it- only it was only through words then. We’ve now seen how he can show this verbally and physically and I like it a lot, it’s the only way this can work and they did it. This is the best outcome.
I truly believe he doesn’t know how to feel the typical conventional idea of “love” for anyone but himself because he's the biggest egotist and narcissist and is extremely selfish and y'all seem to forget what it entails for his behavior and personality feelings, and mindset with his self absorption and low empathy. There's no sudden exceptions, Sage is literally just another perfect example of it, nothing has changed.
The only way he can value anyone that isn’t himself is in what they can do for him, what’s in it for him is always his mindset, so it’s the same thing of self praising, self serving, and self-centered, just being served through another person appealing to it by serving him, agreeing with his outlook, and having a willingness to serve and good use to him. And that’s the exact reasoning behind it with Sage. This is known and true in the prequel comic, memos, and Flynn’s words and hasn’t changed. I love it :)
