| 1 | * To put it into perspective: Your parents are dead. Everyone calls you "The Possessed One" because your guardian hangs around you. Said guardian is trapped in limbo, unable to feel anything at all. It isn't until the last few chapters or so that [[spoiler:everyone starts treating you like an actual human being.]] |
| 2 | * The first part is depressing enough with its absolutely ''brutal'' AllOfTheOtherReindeer moments, but the new scenario in the remake makes it even worse by introducing [[spoiler:"Carona", who is a Marona from a world without Ash. Also, everyone in the world dies in the opening cut scene.]] It's like NIS looked at the original and asked "How could we possibly make this more depressing?" |
| 3 | * That doesn't make the main scenario any less depressing. Take for example the end of Chapter 2 [[spoiler:when Marona is harshly [[UngratefulBastard scolded and ridiculed by her client]], one of the few she felt could trust in the entire world, upon finding out she is the "rumored" Possessed. Had Walnut not been there, I doubt Ash would have had the restraint to keep himself for beating the living hell out of Marona's client.]] |
| 4 | ** Or any of the chapters where Marona is not trusted for hanging with Phantoms, her only friends who aren't alive. In short, most of ''the whole damn game.'' Except for stuff under SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments. |
| 5 | * Marona is a [[NiceGirl sweet, kind-hearted young girl]] who gets All of the Other Reindeer reactions by the very people she tries to help to the point that, to quote one editor, he "has never actually wanted to commit genocide on a fictional world before." |
| 6 | ** This is shown most powerfully in the first episode where, after eliminating demons from near a village, a small child offers Marona a candy...and then its mother snatches the child away and basically shouts "What were you doing to my child, you evil little monster?" And this is said in a tone so fearful and full of hate not even people in horror movies performing Heroic Sacrifices would use it. To a thirteen year-old orphan. |
| 7 | ** The remake for the Wii gives another in the form of [[spoiler:Carona's backstory: what's the one thing they could do to make Marona's childhood even worse? Take away Ash, leaving her completely vulnerable to the raw hatred of the world, then have her lose to Sulphur, then be enslaved by a dark god who holds her entire world hostage and forces her to travel to alternate Ivoires and kill, betray, and enslave other Maronas]]. |
| 8 | * At the very end of the end-game credits, Persimmon sits at the usual spot, alone, and raises his glass and lowers his head to honor Walnut. For someone who was treated like crap by Walnut in every cutscene together, it goes to show that Persimmon really did see him as a good friend. |
| 9 | ** If you're really paying attention, you'll notice that he's drinking Ochre, not his usual vintage Sachsen. Ochre was Walnut's preferred drink. |
