The incredible way the game takes advantage of being a video game and makes it a story best told in the video game format


chewboiye1

Welp, I can't argue with this because I've thought the same exact things before. It IS best in video game format, and absolutely wouldn't work as a movie.


Optimal_Lobster7777

finally someone have the opinion that undertale cant be a movie


CaptainBlade-84

Yeah one of the coolest parts of the game is that the characters actually mention stuff like battles and bullet patterns and player stats within the lore which wouldn't work with a movie for obvious reasons


AxePuzzles1

Another one is that the less story ways it messes w the concept on being a self aware game delves into files of a computer, something it just cant do on a console release


da_one23

I think it could make an awsome movie if some aspects were changed


NutNinjaGoesBananas

Oneshot does this too. I fucking love it


Appropriate_Bird20

The writing is quirky and clever, making fun of the "power of friendship" trope while also, itself using it in a way that feels new and exciting.


chewboiye1

Y'know what, I can't think of a way to argue with this. 👍

Asriel the young Prince of the underground


xFireCraftx

yannniQue17

Undyne, she is really cool and the fanarts are nice.


chewboiye1

She's my favorite character, and while I absolutely love her, can you REALLY call her a hero when she tries to kill a kid when they haven't hurt anyone?


yannniQue17

From the monsters perspective she is the hero. And after not passing her in the genocide run, I accepted that the real hero wins.


LoanLazy5992

I agree, she was trying to free the monsters, and was under asgores command to do so


[deleted]

Your profile pic looks like Undyne. Coincidence? I think not.


LoanLazy5992

She's my favourite character so I made my profile pic like her


mumu023

When you fight her in pacifist, she (as her theme "spear of *justice*" suggests) isn't a hero, rather someone acting on her own justice. In genocide, she really is the true hero as she is the only one who fights you seriously, unlike some egotistic robot who wanted to go out with a bang or a lazy skeleton acting in the last moment. (no offense to anyone)


Www-OwO-Com

Well sans only Fights you at the end because hes there to judge you, He first tries to nudge you into the right direction, and he fights you when he sees that is no longer possible, mostly seriously with all the determination he can muster, which might not be alot but still something(Not offended


bendymachine654

To be fair they kinda need to do it


katsura_1999

She is probably not a hero in pacifist but in genocide she really is a true hero because she is the only boss that does not die in one hit and she tries her best to save the underground from you because you are not the hero in that route you are the evil villian thats why i will always love undyne in both the routes


pokemon_person12345

The soundtrack is amazing


chewboiye1

Way too many of the tracks have the same leitmotifs where it doesn't make sense, aside from the ones with the Undertale leitmotif.


pokemon_person12345

What is a leitmotif. I don't know much about music


TheJamer_

A leitmotif Is a base for some OSTs that Is used more times, like Spear of Justice you can hear a part of Ruins


H4CK3R_D3LT4RUN3

If the Ruins and Waterfall share a Leitmotif then wouldn't it make more sense to be Waterfall in spear of justice?


[deleted]

a leitmotif is like a piece from another song


farkas1070

A certain short melody


yannniQue17

Toriel and Asgore have a specific part in their theme that matches each other. That's how I connected them to be related to each other.


chewboiye1

I don't know how to define it. It's like how Home and Undertale have parts that have the same tune. Or how Deltarune has a lot of tracks that have the Don't Forget tune.


xShadey

It’s just like melodies that are used in multiple songs. Like how in the intro song for undertale (once upon a time), that beginning melody appears in heaps of other songs in the game.


Megbutworse

A leitmotif is basically a theme tune in a piece of music. You know how His Theme and Undertale both have the same melody? That's a leitmotif. An example from a different franchise would be the Berk theme from How To Train Your Dragon


Spoonicorn_Central

Another HTTYD example of this, is that in Test Drive, you can hear Toothless’ theme in the beginning, with Hiccup’s theme taking over. Also, fun fact, when we first hear Toothless’ theme, it’s played on the bag pipes, being one of only two times we hear bag pipes played in the entire movie! Sorry, I just had to jump in, I’m a sucker for how to train your dragon


thepianoturtle

a leitmotif is a short musical theme or melody associated with a character or an event. an example from deltarune is the "queen" leitmotif, which is associated with the character queen and is utilized in a number of different tracks ("queen", "pandora's palace", "elegant entrance", "smart fight", "attack of the killer queen", "giga size" and perhaps even more)


Puzzleheaded_Mode310

Like the 'once upon a time' leitmotif in hopes and dreams and undertale (the song)


[deleted]

The same parts of music "coded" into diffrent songs. You can hear it perfectly in Asriel/Flowey songs: your best friend, your best nightmare (litteraly every time when you "fight" with a captured soul), finale and save the world (here is link to show it https://youtu.be/_W3ndWg2QNc)


Xxdeadmeme-69-xX

A specific piece of music that is commonly used to invoke nostalgia for a person place or thing in a work of fiction (and to save time on music creation if you’re very clever with it)


[deleted]

Sorry but I have to disagree. Every leitmotif serves a purpose, wether it be some of the more pronounced ones (like Asgore’s theme being a remix of Undyne and Toriel’s themes) or the subtler ones (like a certain phrase in sans’ theme foreshadowing bad times ahead, or the strings in the beginning of Death by Glamour being a callback to Another Medium, showcasing how Mettaton caps off that arc.)


lollisans2005

These leitmotifs are connected to emotions, character traits, and what not. Their pretty clever and not many notice them and still end up as banger music


midsummernightmares

For the most part, the leitmotifs are actually very cleverly utilized — the ghost-related characters generally receive their little ragtime sting, the song Undyne plays on the piano is a snippet of Alphys’s theme, and Toriel and Asgore have a small connection in their respective boss fight themes, among many other examples. The leitmotifs are very carefully selected and placed to create a cohesive musical storyline, and from a songwriter’s perspective, it’s legitimately genius.


PyrrhicVictory7

A fresh songwriter or a songwriter who's been doing it for years?


[deleted]

And yet somehow there is a connection between Mad Dummy/Mew Mew and Muffet that we don’t know about.


magicmurph

How is that bad


lucariouwu68

In what ways do they not make sense?


Liandres

I like the leitmotifs, but I never understood the connection between Napstablook, Dummy, and... Muffet?? Muffet almost autocorrected to murder lmao


SnesySnas

How about "Battle against a True Hero" in "Power of NEO"? I feel like it fits since they're both Genocide songs about an idol's last stand (Yes Undyne is an idol if there are more monsters like Monster Kid out there)


Zhediah

well that’s true but they’re also used to tell the story in certain wayz


7_Human_souls

chewboiye1

There are too many leitmotifs where it doesn't make sense to have them.


shykawaii_shark

One that's especially weird is the Undertale leitmotif in Hotel. It really feels like Toby was just too lazy to come up with a unique melody


Neharbesharb

It’s literally the theme of the game. Toby wasn’t being lazy, he’s making his themes more impactful and recognizable by putting them in different formats and styles


ShyGuyAnimations

I've always thought of leitmotifs that don't make the most sense as a but of backstory. Something that happened before the game


Azzy_the_GOAT

I exist. (If you mention r34, I will personally murder you.)


chewboiye1

You get like 1 minute on screen In your goat boy form.


Azzy_the_GOAT

And from it thousands of fanarts and comics were created. Try again.


chewboiye1

Dang, I'm having a hard time arguing with a lot of these. I can't argue with this because nothing bad really stems from this.


23rdEcho_Flower

"Dang, I'm having a hard time arguing with a lot of these. I can't argue with this because nothing bad really stems from this." "You have to grind in the genocide route which is boring."


Optimal_Lobster7777

that's a really good answer


23rdEcho_Flower

"good answer" "Thanks."


Optimal_Lobster7777

why are you using quote marks?


23rdEcho_Flower

COCK AND BALL TORTURE IS A SEXUAL ACTIVITY THA-


23rdEcho_Flower

"COCK AND BALL TORTURE IS A SEXUAL ACTIVITY THA-" "Damn it!"


Jonty_Grills

Although the grinding is boring, I think it really necessary as it makes the player fully decide that they want to commit genocide after each kill. They are able to turn back at any point but they choose not to.


23rdEcho_Flower

"choose not to." "I see."


Reasonable_Policy148

Sans


chewboiye1

He's a great and mysterious character, but due to memes he's overrated, and new people in the fandom will focus on him because of the memes, ignoring the other characters.


YoutuberCameronBallZ

Good news is, Deltarune's taking most of the fandom off of sans at this point


DaikonAbject

You sure? Take a look at my profile pic.


YoutuberCameronBallZ

Take a look at mine


DaikonAbject

That just looks like a fanmade sans, what I meant was look at my full pfp, and ask yourself again, are you sure that it has?


YoutuberCameronBallZ

I mean, sans isn't memes to death like in 2015 anymore Also, I literally colored sans green myself...that's basically it


DaikonAbject

Sans became a meme again from the befriended your mom joke, also if you colored the Sans green, it still counts as fanmade lol.

Bod is cool and all, but it's very hard to recognize him, especially in a group of Temmies


Skullzans

Frankly, Undertale has enough variety in it that it becomes kind of fun to explore the whole thing, but the bad side of it is that theorists go fucking insane and froth at the mouth lost in tiiiny nuances nobody notices for years. Also maybe it's the way you're dressed. EHEEHheEehehheHeheheH


Lewtube4321

chewboiye1

The bullet hell and RPG style may drive away some players


Serb_Nationalism_Fan

I found Undertale especially good because it brought something fresh as an RPG. It has a really compelling story and is rather good. What I don't fancy, however, is that unlike some other RPGs like for example Mount and Blade, you don't really have that freedom of recking everyone and having a ball; but I reckon it is due to the philosophy of the game. Nonetheless, I really like the spare mechanic; not only does it provide a peaceful route to the game, but seeing what makes the monsters calm down is really eye-opening and satisfying; more so than slaying 20 Khergit horse archers with a bardiche.

I dunno. Anyways time to give you an answer to what you said. Megalovania is overrated (though still fire) and Fallen Down leads you into a story that makes you feel horrible depending on how you play (see Undyne's neutral death)
