Congrats for beating your first playthrough of Undertale! Here's everything that you did: - Spared/fled from 20 monsters. - Killed 48 monsters. - Died 7 times. - Reached LV 13. - Got the "Papyrus Ending". - Ran into Flowey's bullets in the beginning. - Talked to the Ruins Dummy. - Complimented the first Froggit. - Spared Napstablook. - Didn't buy at the Ruins spider bake sale. - Killed Toriel. - Spared Papyrus (unintentionally) and dated him. - Killed Undyne. - Spared Muffet. (THANK YOU!) - Killed Mettaton. - Killed Asgore. - Killed Flowey. Can't wait for a Pacifist Route. But you're gonna need to get really good at dodging. But since killing is more of your forte, try the Genocide Route, though that run will be torture.
Even if you questioned yourself near the end, this entire time you subconsciously started learning what to do with orange and blue attacks. Good thing Asgore is the last boss that actually uses those attacks i think, so you did just as good ws you needed Also the soul minigames in the flowey fight doesn't kill you but every phase of flowey himself does, so surviving that is just skill
This is a really interesting playthrough. Undertale throws a lot of wacky subversive concepts at you, but it rewards you a lot if you choose to humor it and meet the story where it's at. If you indulge the idea that your actions have real consequences in the game world, the question of killing and not killing monsters takes on a lot more weight. The sheer reactiveness of this game really makes it an experience where you get what you give, like none other. On the other hand, you can try to ignore all that and treat the game like any other RPG. You can reassert the emotional boundary between reality and fiction and not allow it to guilt trip you. As you've seen now, this is also a choice that lends you a unique experience in this game. The act of detaching yourself from the story and focusing on racking up numbers is, in itself, integrated into the game's story. It holds up a mirror and tells you exactly what you've been doing, within the context of this world. The first few times you kill in this game might make you feel a bit guilty, but after a while it just becomes a standard RPG grind. The game sees this, and calls you out on it. "The more you kill, the more you distance yourself. The more you distance yourself, the less you will hurt." Flowey is even set up as an in-universe parallel to you, and that's expanded on even more in other routes. Basically, in a pacifist route you're the heroic underdog, and Undertale becomes a story about a weak and kindhearted child who saves monsterkind with the power of friendship. In other routes, you can be anything on a sliding scale between a kid who kills a few times out of confusion or in self-defense, and a remorseless villain killing people for fun. The story of the game changes accordingly. But no matter what you do, nothing absolves you from the responsibility of playing the lead role in this story.
44:38 One of the things about this game is that it is harder to do pacifist, but the benefit is that you’ve played the game before and have all that knowledge.
What a playthrough that was, that was interesting to watch, but there's much more content ahead left in there: pacifist and genocide runs. I might've hopped on the train a little too late, but i did catch up to this moment in a few days and i would love to see you going through either of the left game routes now. Honestly talking, this game has so much of stuff hidden that you haven't got to see yet is incredible..
Thank you for this playthrough. Its a change of pace from every other playthrough that just goes straight with Pacifist. A lot of the games charm is how individualize the game becomes when you kill monsters or do things differently. Thanks for that
Fun fact: Asgore is the one telling you to "stay determined" when you die, and Determination, the game over song, has its motif at the end of Asgore, the Asgore fight song.
11:34 you can dooooooo iiiiiit!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! 18:23 😂😂 19:09 yeah, I wish I had played it on computer to witness this. It was different on console, no game closed 35:43 nice comeback Congratulations Jia!!! Another great game completed!!
I liked this playthrough a lot, you have in fact reached An Ending (that's the name of the song playing while sans and papyrus were calling you, in the OST) Would really really enjoy watching you do pacifist, should be really fun :)
I'm happy you enjoyed the game, and this seemed like a genuine blind playthrough... Many youtubers and streamers play the pacifist first and that just doesn't strike me as possible for someone who really has no exposure to that game. Although you got the information about the pacifist route at some point haha. There's a huge community of that game and now its sequel, Deltarune, and they are all eager to give spoilers. They behave like Alphys with her Mew Mew series. There is about 1/3 of the game at least to play if you do the pacifist route... and there are other neutral endings too. There are many variants depending on which monsters you spare or kill. There's also a lot of lore left to explore, so if you want to experience the game in full and understand the backstory then you have to play the pacifist run too. Dodging the bullets gets a lot easier with practice. Most fights are easy, the boss fights are the ones that are a bit more challenging. If you keep dying in pacifist there is some good armour than you can buy at the temmie village.
it was REALLY fun watching you play, regardless on whether youre doing the pacifist route or not!!!!. your reactions were very funny sjsosjs and youre very good at figuring the plot out. you put together a lot of stuff on your own that would only get confirmed if u did very specific routes, so kudos to you!!! also interesting how you considered sparing flowey for 2 seconds sosjsosjeo some food for thought: when papyrus lists the people who seem to have disappeared, he includes alphys, even though you never killed her. what could have happened to her? 🤔🤔🤔🤔 bye ;)
Welp, there you go, Neutral Undertale completed! Now for Pacifist and Genocide if you decide to do them.. :P I won't put out Deltarune since I see people have flagged that up already, but if you ever delve into fangame territory, I'd HIGHLY recommend Undertale Yellow. It's a fanmade prequel where you play as one of the previous fallen humans.. and much like Undertale itself, it also has those three routes.. and of course, a whole new cast of characters to enjoy! (Repost since it looks like youtube ate my first comment.. XD)
I believe if you let Flowey live he would have shown up after the call unsure about his kill or be killed mentality and asked if you could reset and not kill anyone to truly see if his way is correct or not.
So if you try to talk to Asgore using the ACT button his attack will go down the same goes for the Butterscotch Pie except both will go down. This is due to the fact that because he was married to Toriel he recognizes her pie and it brings back melancholy memories. Also even if you play a pacifist run the first time it will be a Flawed Pacifist route because the first time Asgore will always break the mercy button and you will always fight Photoshop Flowey (unless you go full genocide). However unless you do another Neutral Route you won't have to fight Asgore or Photoshop Flowey again (probably because Flowey knows how it went last time)
8:20 You'll learn about it later after the fight against Asgore, but Toriel is Asgore's wife, which explais the name of Asriel (Asgore + Toriel). Notice how much Asgore is trying to push back the inevtable, he doesn't want to kill you at all, but is forces to, that's why he asks you multiple times if you're ready. He also holds back during the fight. And when he breaks the "MERCY" button, that's because he thinks he doesn't deserve mercy for what he did. By the way, that's to the point that when Asgore's attack is supposed to hit you, you're just down to 1HP, and it's only if you're hit once again that you'll be killed. In the Asgore fight, for the attack you didn't understand, before Attacking, Asgore's eyes will glow in a certain order of colors, which determines the order of colored attacks you'll receive (if there's a blue one don't move, if there's an orange one, move). 28:10 that's Flowey's doing and also why you got teleported. Since he now have the control over the Save/Load/Reset ability, and have the savefiles of the 6 human souls. So he uses them to fight you by saving in a moment X, and if you manage to avoid the attack, reload the moment X to destabilize you.
@@phantom9831 a lot of people guess it, but she didnt. yes, you can tell her whatever you want, but you still spoiled something she could find out later.
Loved the playthrough! I would love watching a pacifist run, it's really special. The genocide route is great too, it's a pretty one-of-a-kind experience, but it's definitely meant to be played after pacifist (if you even do genocide at all).
If you want to get the outcome where you mercy everyone, make sure to hang out with Papyrus, listen to him in the room with the "Welcome to Hotland" sign (room right after Undyne's fight starts), and backtrack after dealing with Mettaton EX. Trust me, you haven't seen half of the content this game has to offer, and that's a good thing.
Enjoyed your approach, felt you approached it with a certain honesty. If you end up doing a pacifist run, I'll certainly check it out, and I think you'll like it
Since you seemed to really enjoy this game then after doing a pacifist run I'd recommend trying Deltarune. It's a similar game made by the same developer, it's not finished yet but what's out so far is free to play.
Congrats! I'd personally love a pacifist run. The different runs add and/or remove surprisingly large chunks of story, so I don't think you'll be bored either way.
I really want to see you do the genocide run more than the pacifist run since you like to be op. The difficulty on the pacifist run is gradual meaning that you won't encounter a big hurdle but many small ones. But in the genocide run you'll be op but you'll encounter a big difficulty spike or two. I recommend doing the pacifist run first tho as much as I want to see you do genocide I think that you'll learn more and get better quicker if you do pacifist first
Ultimately do what you want obviously, but I do disagree with some of the other commenters telling you to do the genocide route first... For one, it'd be a bit redundant after the run you just did, where you killed most of the enemies anyway. The genocide route is its own story too, dont get me wrong, but a lot of it won't make sense unless you've played pacifist first. It also will be pretty boring if you don't have the emotional investment in the game you might get from playing through pacifist... Like its basically meant to be an extra challenge run for when you've done literally everything else there is to do in the game.
The most disappointing route. No closure. Characters don’t get the chance to shine. It’s very surface level. Hopefully you do your Pacifist route next (then Genocide because it pushes you to try that afterwards) You will find the world of undertale much more interesting than what you have seen. It’s possible to do pacifist blind but you can’t start a genocide route without purposefully killing everything until nothing spawns.
In my opinion, you should go for not the pacifist but the genocide route next. I think it will be more interesting for you to play and for us to watch. And only after that try pacifist if you will want to.
