We Need to Talk About Chloe Price in Life is Strange 4: Double Exposure 

yeah exactly!

100% agree, I can't remember who said this but Double Exposure can't just bring Max back for the sake of it, it has to truly do the game justice.

I mean, I love Chloe and Max as much as the next person, but that's how things go sometimes. Whether they are friends or more, people, no matter how close they may've been, sometimes grow apart. People break up. Chloe isn't exactly the most secure person in the world. It may have been her choice. Perhaps what happened at the Bay weighed too much on their relationship. Maybe they felt different once they moved away or got older. Who knows? They were just kids, really. I don't think that choice is presented to you to imply, "Oh yeah, these too will definitely be together forever." The only thing saving Chloe was meant to achieve was giving her a second chance. We may want to things to end neatly like that but that's the thing about Life is Strange that makes it so poignant. That's just not the way things work. You save the Bay and say goodbye to your best friend or you save your best friend and kill an entire population of people. Either way, you have to live with that choice. Everything else is left up to speculation. And it may seem unfair given what is sacrificed. But, um, well... Life Is Strange...

@@DoriDoesVoices I mean absolutely you have the choice to save or not Chloe and being romantically involved with her or not and with what we saw I think you'll have the choice to adjust that to your specificity, I saved her and while being in love with her, the narrative doesn't have any obligation of being realistic about the weight of the choice that was made so they can be together forever after it. Have you read the comics?? Save Chloe live life get separated in different realities spend years trying to get back together and then live the rest of their lives gay married?? All I expect is a choice for that u know a happily ever after for their relationship 🤷

​@@DoriDoesVoicesThey were best friends for their entire lives and Max literally went through time and so much pain and struggle to be with Chloe. It is insane that they would break up cuz they "grew apart". However they could be temporary apart for other reasons like trauma. That would make sense, anything else is just silly.

i can't imagine Max not loving Chloe

Money is the good way to find 😅

Note l🎉flgvzgeutrefjIe n😢😂 w v gsmaq yk oswt😢😂😅😅myd sczbt wge what 😢

i would love to see chloe talking about her relationship with david, now that she lost her mother too!

same and thats why i enjoyed the first and second game but all the decknine stuff just been trying to capture the feeling of the first game

She’s not in school. She works at the school. She’s been done with college.

@@Theblackout292 I know, why does that matter though? Doesnt matter if shes a teacher or a student, she has still been there for 6 months, which worries me because its way too long for chloe to just be away somwhere

off screen divorce lmao

kate's parents said something about coming to pick her up on Friday morning! i'd like to hope she was fine in the hospital

Or maybe she is liking Warren but Chloe is just kiss for the plot. This is the issue with that. Live interest. What about the rest? What about you? Isnt it just egoistic which you prefer to be your love interest? Maybe life is about it...

hopefully i hated her

No not at all, Chloe still alive in this timeline. If Chloe died in the bathroom, it means the teenage Max and Chloe did not meet each other at all. Also, if Chloe die, Max could not take the photo of Chloe as shown in the trailer.

@@tatthanh8980just because they didn’t meet in the timeline max lives in, it doesn’t mean she forgot about her. She experienced several timelines where she and Chloe were closer than they had ever been, and that doesn’t make those memories any less real to her, even if they didn’t happen in the timeline she’s living in. Also, she could’ve gotten that photo from Joyce or something. Maybe she found it in her room. Max attended Chloe’s funeral & im pretty sure you can see her talking to Joyce and David, so it’s not crazy to assume they kept in touch after her death, and let her take some pictures and stuff for sentimental reasons.

We actually see that at the end of the game when Chloe dies When reality changes we see events change we see Nathan and Jefferson being arrested and we see max comforting Joyce and David,Joyce giving Chloe's stuff to Max and Max looking at dozens of photos of Chloe

​@@tatthanh8980Max Still has the memories of the week she spent alongside Chloe and Joyce saw Max again after Chloe's death she gave her things and photos of Chloe

But that's clearly against the intent of the original developers but okay

How did the point of life is strange go so far over your head?

Max is downplaying the importance of Chloe bc she doesn't wanna open up and bc it hurts so much etc. So it kinda makes sense

yep! totally agree

That's what I was thinking 😶

I doubt it but it's honestly a really sick idea

I thought the plot of the game is that Max tries to investigate the murder to prevent it in the other timeline. So if she just lives in Chloes timeline that kinda would mess with that, wouldn't it? She still has to be in danger so that the investigation is relevant, unless I missed something or got it wrong (which might be the case, I only watched the trailer). But it's a nice theory

I think that two ending will be choosing which reality/universe you choos to be in the end

LMAOOO

I WILL ACTUALLY CRY IF SO,,

TOXIC LESBIANISM ♡♡♡

@@alyssamichaela lebanism

And how would u solve it for the people who sacrificed Chloe cuz it wasn't an option for them to let everyone else die for one person? If Chloe would help Max you would have to do two completely different games cuz it wouldn't make sense Chloe helping you, if she died. I mean not that this is impossible, Telltale did such things already with two extremely completely different chapter but that was only one episode. Doing it due the complete game itself would be way more effort than just for one episode.

@sessyfan791 What I was thinking is that since we know there are two parallel universes in this game. In the universe where Safi is dead, Chloe could be alive, therefore implying the sacrifice Arcadia Bay choice. Then, in the world where Safi is alive then Chloe is dead. Therefore, being the sacrifice Chole options. They could go about it a lot of different ways, but I think that would be the coolest.

@@anthonysava1769 yeah make sense. or the other way around cuz the one where she is dead would be the original main universe. So u have to have that universe with Chloe dead or alive anyways. So logical they have to have both options.

Do you imagine Max saves Rachel in a timeline and Chloe leave her for be with Rachel? I imagine the fandom being upseeet. HAHAHAH

if they respected the original story they wouldnt have made this game

Hrhr, Poor Vicky xD

thank you so much!!

i think they might release a trailer inbetween the 2 weeks of ultimate edition's release, to generate hype for the final 3 episodes - in which they'll show a glimpse/teaser of Chloe i definitely think this is purposeful atm

in a mature, adult world? i feel like max and chloe would still rock as friends, yeah

No? "Max.. i'll always be with you" - "Forever". This is one of the two most important parts of this finale. The message is that they are going to always be together - as the best friends or a couple. To show that they are not together in this ending is to disrespect Bae. I don't know how much new developers must not understand the original story in order to write such a thing. And it's especially lazy to break them up off-screen just to make Bae Max's story fit Bay Max. So the only people they'll alienate with this move are Bae and Chloe fans (as well as Pricefield) You don't do a story with characters who chose each other over the whole town and then say, "Well, they grew up and broke up with each other." Even Dontnod understood this and established that the girls live together after the storm and do not look back. They showed the same thing in their sequel. The only ending where the girls shouldn't be together is the ending where Chloe is dead

@@zeratulzeratulovich6597 bro, In the bae ending you can also choose to stay as friends, keep in mind that basically there are 3 endings and that David in lis3 calls them that too, they can be good friends that live far away from each other but still keep contact, that's a thing too. I said it makes so much sense cuz the trauma they experienced, you can't deny that they have resentments that they never talked about and they only met the new version of them for only 1 week that is not enough to build a relationship, Chloe is grieving for Rachel n found her body, depression and is self-destructive. Max relived her trauma 4+ times, she mainly has trauma the size of the entire planet, neither of them knows how to talk about their problems in their diaries they say so, denying all the problems that the game itself shows you to later show them happy without any problem is not respecting the characters they built in 5 episodes (more with Chloe) and also the problems that Chloe had in her relationship with Rachel was beginning to show up in her relationship with max I didn't like that. I personally think that Chloe was better with Rachel because their energies were the same, with Max that doesn't happen romantically, that's why I'm happy that Max has another love interest and now the two girls who appear in this next game seem like good people :D but that's just my opinion.

@@zeratulzeratulovich6597 that's your opinion, mine is that they had so much trauma that a romantic relationship would not work for all the resentments that they never talked about among themselves but in their diaries, having the two be romantically related beyond 3 years would be very idealistic when the game itself shows us the problems the relationship would have and also when David mention them he mentioned them as friends. One can continue to be friends and close without being physically next to the person, eventually people want to achieve their own dreams, Chloe may be studying in one city and max wants to achieve a new high in her career in other city and they would still be close. As a person that choose the chloe ending I saved Chloe so that Max would have someone to talk to about her trauma I don't see her as a good romantic partner. For me, they are two different characters that don't need each other to stand out, so it doesn't bother me that they aren't together because my ultimate goal was for Chloe to be alive and serve as a support for max even if they aren't together physically, that's my opinion and reasoning :D (I didn't do Chloe or Warren's romance because I didn't like them as a romance partner for Max) I'm waiting for Safi to have a romantic route because she and Max are cute together lol

@@Wot7439 Even if you claim they're best friends, they're still together. Literally. Dontnod described them as "living together and not looking back" after storm. And Dontnod also said that a romantic path is a legitimate option after the storm. The common theme is that the girls are together literally and forever. (They explicitly stated that too). And moving forward. Also, Dontnod was explicitly told "you're making this choice to keep important relationship." What's the resentments against each other? Over the course of this week, they've dealt with it and moved fordward, and Chloe forgive Max for what she did. If you're talking about the final decision, both girls chose each other and united in their decision. Dontnod wrote Chloe the way that she's the one who let Max to sacrifice the town even knowing her mom will die in the process. That's how her speech ends: "Max, you finally came back to me this week, and... you did nothing but show me your love and friendship. You made me smile and laugh, like I haven't done in years. Wherever I end up after this... in whatever reality... all those moments between us were real, and they'll always be ours. No matter what you choose, I know you'll make the right decision." - "Chloe... I can't make this choice..." - "No, Max... You're the only one who can." And instead of being angry or blaming her, she acts completely supportive of Max throughout the Bae sequence. Basically she picks Max over the town and her mother. And then Dontnod showed that they are together after 4 years, and the death of Chloe's mother didn't separate them (On the contrary Chloe's death separated Joyce and David in Bay.). There is a reason why it is shown that these two couples faced trauma and ended up on different paths, one is still together and the other broke up. I'm not saying that Chloe doesn't love her mother, or that she won't miss her, or that she won't feel guilty for her death, but Dontnod wrote Chloe the way that she made her choice and that her choice is Max. She's not backing down from that. At least in their games. It would be so wrong if Decknine threw out that aspect and said, "Well, Chloe started blaming Max." And then there's the narrative point of view. There are two important part in Sacrifice Arcadia Bay - the fact that we save Chloe at the cost of the town, and the fact that the girls promise each other to always be together at the most important moment of their lives - the moment when they chose each other over an entire town. Dontnod wrote that promise to be serious, and they didn't break that promise in the next game. By the way, there are two parts in "Sacrificing Chloe" too - the fact that Max sacrifices Chloe and the fact that she promises that she will never forget her. A new storm or Max forgetting Chloe would devalue that ending too. Would you be happy about that?

It doesn't make sense, though. Max didn't choose Chloe to dump her again. She chose her to always be together because she lost her once. Remember their last words at the end? "Max...I'll always be with you" - "Forever." And they did stay together even after 4 years as shown by Dontnod in their sequel. If Max dumps Chloe again in this ending, then Deccknine clearly doesn't understand the original story or Max. And they definitely don't respect Bae in that case.

​@@zeratulzeratulovich6597 I mean Max did leave without saying anything the first time so maybe this game will explore Max's issues on her own.

​@@crowquet56hmmm based

I hate the feeling like if you sacrifice her, entire game is just resumed and all things are chosesen by devs. So basically that would be third ending, another timeline, when max (or not her, something definately) make the rich kid not that anxious and conflicted to show with a gun in toilet. Or with jeffereson....? I would rather want to play game in jeffereson or rich kid perspective than this... Or maybe max focusing on their childchood from photos? You know? That would bs interesting and creating whole uniwerse

@@zeratulzeratulovich6597 Why do you assume Max would be the one dumping? Chloe is her own person. And she's not the most stable, emotionally. That's just how things go sometimes. You can promise things all night long but people change, sometimes. Especially after a traumatic event. That doesn't necessarily discount the sincerity of what you felt at that time. There are dozens of possible reasons why they may have gone their separate ways. That's the thing about living. You never really know how you'll feel until you get there. But I think automatically jumping to the conclusion that Max is the dumper is a tad hasty.

i hope she will be!

imagine an ending where you choose to live in that timeline if you chose not to save her in the original...

I mean, Max is a hipster

Let’s face it. True Colors is a dating sim. The main point of TC is hooking up with Ryan or Steph. The story is nonsense. It looks like that’s what Deck9 knows and wants the LiS brand to be, and they’re gonna lose a lot of fans, and hopefully sales, regardless at this point. I certainly want no part of this game. Deck9 did a AAA all over Max and PriceField with its weird rebranding and predatory pricing. Also, I really need to calm down about this, but there are so many noses that need punching at Deck9 and Square right now. I volunteer to be the magical tornado storm of vengeance. 😂

Bro this is the best they could do they couldn’t have a full game with Chloe because that would alienate half the playerbase who sacrificed her. They don’t wanna piss off either side of the playerbase who picked either option which unfortunately means Chloe cant play a big part in the game although I bet she’ll still appear physically if you kept her alive. Plus the game takes place 10 years later anyways, so its reasonable to believe that her and Chloe aren’t still just hangin out all the time even if she is alive because they are 28 and 29 years old and people have to move on with their lives and jobs.

@@jamescrain4452 "Max.. i'll always be with you" - "Forever". This is one of the two most important parts of this finale.

@@jamescrain4452 Respect for moving on. That’s a real life pro tip, but this isn’t real life. Your kind of thinking would probably get you a job at Deck9 though. 😂.

Nope. She made her choice too in Bae. Dontnod wrote Chloe the way that she's the one who let Max to sacrifice the town even knowing her mom will die in the process. That's how her speech ends: "Max, you finally came back to me this week, and... you did nothing but show me your love and friendship. You made me smile and laugh, like I haven't done in years.

they're definitely trying to drum up hype with it - it's inspired a lot of discussion. time will tell on whether that worked out for them, i guess!

You literally spoke my mind. Breaking up Max and Chloe is clearly disrespectful to Bae ending.. If that's what they're going with, they just lied to our faces.

It is clever because people talk about it. What more do you want 😂

You do realize that Chloe was the one who let Max sacrifice the city, and that's the right decision for her, too, right? Literally her words. In the Dontnod games, she was still with Max even after 4 years and no guilt separated her from her. So it just doesn't make sense in the context of how the original writers wrote both girls

Damn, I guest that befoe the end of the video.

Wasn't Life is Strange 2 more like "A New Frontier" in that it involved totally new protagonists?

At least you’re playing as Max. 😂💔

Not even close lmao. That title belongs to the second game which can be argued that it's the most different out of the bunch. Chole not getting major attention stings, but it's time to move on....

@@Dreamprism true, this is more like The Final Season

@@channel45853 In that case, I'm scared for what awful batch of Comics may come afterward.

I just want to see Rachel again. *cries *. I even imagine a timeline where Max saves Rachel, and Chloe leaves her to go with Rachel. lol

From what it seems like Rihanna (Chloe’s bts VA) is apparently doing voiceover and motion capture for an unannounced game, which could be this. It’s been so long to really know if Ashly would even be open to voicing Chloe anymore.

​@@McKnlght it would make sense if Ashly was just busy too, she's been doing a lot the last few years

@@crowquet56 True, and tbf I don’t expect her to comeback for this. I wouldn’t be surprised if they got Rihanna as a replacement. Especially if you’re gonna be potentially voicing an adult Chloe, since she’d be 30 at this point.

Great callback

she definitely isn’t dead in all playthroughs!

Didn't you watch the gameplay? They explicitly said they are gonna respect BOTH endings. So stop talking bullshit

But this isn't real life, it's a game. A game where you can keep characters together forever. Plus there's promise. "Max.. i'll always be with you" - "Forever". This is one of the two most important parts of this finale. The message is that they are going to always be together - as the best friends or a couple. To show that they are not together in this ending is to disrespect Bae. I don't know how much new developers must not understand the original story in order to write such a thing.

Even Dontnod understood this and established that the girls live together after the storm and do not look back. They showed the same thing in their sequel. The only ending where the girls shouldn't be together is the ending where Chloe is dead. Imagine if the storm had hit Arcadia Bay in the other ending anyway?

Rhianna Devries (Chloe’s VA in Before the Storm) has an upcoming credit for a motion capture + voice performance for a video game character, so people are speculating she’ll be voicing Chloe

@@CucuOnGames I hope she’ll be as good to voicing Chloe, specifically by this point since she’s an adult. I hope there’s a change in the tone to her voice.

Which I hate. I'm reaching for any amount of copium I can, and maybe it's just me being pessimistic, but I feel like their way of 'respecting' both paths is that Chloe will just be mentioned being alive if you chose Bae over Bay and vice versa. Given that Max has romance options in this game, if you're a Bae-er, I can't see any other way forward other than them having broken up before the start of the game. Especially when you take into account the 'alone' comment, which is likely not contingent on Bay OR Bae but is just a non-choice-influenced dialogue option.

I think this kind of thing is bound to happen as soon as you decide to do a sequel to the first Life is Strange: in order to make the plot work with both endings of the first game, Chloe's role must take a backseat, because the sequel has to work without her. In that case, it's better for her to be offscreen even for those who decided to save her. If she was physically present but did nothing significant, it would be lame, imo. Part of me wishes Decknine would have used the "multiple timelines solution" instead (you know: starting the game with Bay Max, and then have her visit the timeline where Chloe is alive). It would allow for Chloe to have a major role in the plot, whether you sacrificed her or not, and it would also allow for the Maxines in both timelines to have very different lives. Because let's face it: it's hard to believe that the choice at the end of Life is Strange 1 had so little impact in the life of Max Caulfield that no matter what she chooses she ends up ten years later in the same city, with the same people, wearing the same clothes, and with the same job X)

I really hope that this question sounds after we've chosen the ending in the dialog with Safi, and what we're shown is Bay version.

I think one factor is that now Hannah Tale is doing not only her voice but also Max's body and face mocap. So Max face had to be alligned with the features of her mocap actress. Original LiS1 didn't really have lip mocap so the mocap actress was not the same person as the voice actress. I think that's why in the LiS1 remaster Chloe and Max look so weird: they overlapped different actresses.

she does seem cursed!

@@CucuOnGames I love your videos btw

"You're making this choice to keep this important relationship" - original developers. Even for them, it was important that we make this choice for both Chloe and her relationship with Max. Why do we have to put up with the potential plot of the new game? Don't compare it to a prequel. The prequel is a prequel because Rachel and Chloe's relationship didn't have a happy ending because of the first game. Max and Chloe's relationship had a happy ending and Dontnod showed that in their sequel. You don't need to ruin Max and Chloe's relationship. Imagine if in a different ending the storm still hits Arcadia Bay. Or if Max forgets Chloe (even though she promised not to! Just like she promised to always be with Chloe in the other ending). Or if she regrets her decision and saves Chloe. Technically that doesn't devalue your choice! After all, it happened outside of the first game! But it still happened Would you be happy?

> It seems out of charactar-ly selfish for Max No offense, but if you were paying attention to how Max treats Chloe, how she doesn't spare her own well-being to save her, what she writes about Chloe in her diary you'd realize that saving Chloe at the cost of the city for her wouldn't be out of character.

@@zeratulzeratulovich6597 Yeah, being a good friend to Chloe & borderline worshipping her doesn't make one homicidal, usually. Especially not a relatively timid character like Max.

@@TaliEpshtein Is Max a timid person? In these five days, she becomes more confident and capable of making serious decisions. And love for the most important person can make you do anything for them. Max becomes a homicidal either way. Either she kills Chloe or she kills these people. I'd say killing Chloe is more out of character for her. It's not what she wanted. It's what she's been trying to prevent with all her might this week. It's directly shown that it's not what she wants, it's something she's sorry for, and she even keeps the picture intact which means she has a chance to get back to Chloe. Compare that to the other ending where she confidently tears up that picture and doesn't apologize to Chloe (She doesn't have to. Chloe is fine with that decision). Saving Chloe is what Max herself wants, and she's capable of sacrificing other people to do it.

@@zeratulzeratulovich6597 Exactly, Max's dialogue before the choice is literally Max saying she doesn't want to "trade" Chloe for the bay too. That is the game right there telling you that letting the bay get destroyed for Chloe is something Max would do and wants to do because she doesn't want to kill Chloe. If she does then it is Chloe's words that give Max just enough courage to save the bay at the cost of Chloe because she knows Chloe is okay with it and reassured her that the past week they spent together will always be real but Max is still feeling terrible with her choice, she says sorry, she cries hearing Chloe die again, Max wants Chloe no matter what, it's just if she is worth more than the bay to Max. While Max feels bad letting the bay get destroyed as she can't bare to keep watching the storm, she isn't crying, she has the comfort of her BFF she loves, even more than a friend at this point which they both share and they will move on together after the choice.

it'll be interesting to see what happened

itll probably show it in this game

@@CucuOnGames yes and hopefully they do justice!!!

@@mysticfiedsnow they better I don’t wanna find out I “sacrificed” a whole town full of… aMaZiNg people 🤣🤣🤣

@@CucuOnGames yooo, I just thought of this but what IF Chloe is the secret murder for this 😱😱😱. Jk, but that’d be one hell of a twist

if you chose to sacrifice chloe, there is a scene where her mother shows max photos, so max could take one

me too. I didn`t sacrificed a town just for them to break up after! XD

Although Dontnod disagreed and showed that even after 4 years no guilt separated Max and Chloe (unlike the adults Joyce and David in the other ending). But yes breaking up Max and Chloe off-screen is a terrible way to explain Chloe's absence.

I think we're forgetting an easy answer. Chloe might have died either way like from a disease shortly after sacrifice Bay. This both honors the OG ending(they never said what happens after each ending) and makes sense of why Max would start anew without Chloe. If Chloe really lived in one of the in-game scenarios, then like you said it would require two drastically different explanations of Max's after story and persona, and I don't think they can pull this off in a way that is both simple for game development and convincing plotwise. But Chloe's predetermined death actually solves everything. Surely Max's would be traumatized a bit differently but not as drastic as breaking up. In-game story might come down to how Max wants to restart, like try to forget her entirely(just a friend) or keep her close to heart(highschool sweetheart), thus alleviating story branching burden. But I believe this is good news and we are going to see her later in the late when it comes to the more paranormal part.

@@clientlee991 Killing Chloe in Bae is the complete opposite of respecting that ending. It's completely disrespectful to Bae ending. . It completely devalues that choice. Imagine if tomorrow's storm still hit Arcadia Bay in a different ending, or if Max regretted her decision and saved Chloe. It would have been the same devaluing of our choices. So I hope Chloe just went to David for a while, but she'll be back at an important moment for the plot (we know Rihanna is doing motion capture for an unannounced project. She's only played Chloe this way before) and hopefully we'll be able to communicate with Chloe via texts and calls before then.

​@@zeratulzeratulovich6597 If so Chloe could only feature a very small cameo since in one route she is dead and the game couldn't create two different main stories for that. I doubt they would bring her back just for a cameo let alone in just one route. If she is back then it means they will utilize this niche point and I don't see them going this far just to dabble with it.

@@clientlee991 From the looks of it, they're definitely bringing her back. We know that Rihanna is involved in motion capture (she used to only play Chloe that way) and voice acting for a new unannounced game. And the leak, which turned out to be 99% true, claimed that Chloe could appear if we chose Bae

​@@clientlee991 imo, in order for the two versions of DE to feel balanced Chloe needs to be dead/bay intact in one and alive/bay destroyed in the other. I'm all for spin-offs exploring Chloe dying somehow after Bae ending and Arcadia Bay being wiped out somehow after Bay ending, but unless DE is exploring both (that would be insane and I'd actually love it if by some chance that's what they intend to do) it's best for those timelines to be standalone and not paired with a timeline where Chloe is alive or Bay is intact.

hahaha sorry! i can't help myself :P
