@YutaHanada She's nice when she's a maid, but in alternate reality, she's a royal, aggressive, verbally abusive unstable creature. I believe that's right.
such a great game. probably has some of the best voice acting in gaming. too bad that some of the GREATEST voices in this game (the smith syndicate) is only limited to critical kill catchphrases and tv selection quotes :(
@imperialradianc Because by launching these missiles in an orchestrated display of dustruction (thus ridding the world of their presence) would (or should) be seen as a symbolic act (with an element of irony). Surely people can (and would) understand such a gesture (though you're counting on universal human understanding "played" on a certain level, and unfortunately such things fluctuate amongst the human populace). If such an act occured, I would personally see it as a symbol of peace.
SPOILER: Greciler is correct there are at least three harman smiths in this game. Old Harman, who lives in Garcian's House and raised Garcian. Demi-God Harman, who represents the west and order. And Master Harman, who is a figment of Garcian's mind. Also, I dunno if you meant that Herman is a demi god like Kun Lan, or if you meant that Kun and the Killer 7 are just personalities, but Kun Lan and Harman are both demi gods who represent order and chaos, west and east respectively.
harman & kun lan are both demigods and their pawn in this game is garcian the undead being who manifests the other personalities or switches places with them.
Don't take everything literal and find a metaphor into almost everything that happens to really understand this game. It's not a straight-forward story if you can call it a story at all..
i like the Anime Parts in this game, and the gameplay too, but i don't like the walking concept (you hold the run button and walk along a set path), but yeah, the rest of the game is Awesome.
so harman is like half dead in real life and he's normal inside the TV. i am lost by that part one second he geting smack by a woman and he looks dead/sleeping then after turning on the TV he awake
Both of them was Harman, but they are different personalities. The one in the Tv is the badass version while in the real world was, you know, old and useless Harman.
Well, there are two sides to the story, one is east vs west as symbolized with the two "Immortals" Kun and Harman. But Garcian's story is completely different in that it is his way of dealing with his conscience. He was being used by both sides so his personality splits. He was never being given orders by the old guy since you often see in one moment, the old guy is being "taken care of" by a young college girl who was conveniently named "Samantha Sitbons."
However, his orders were being given by a Harman with a polite maid, whose is named "Samantha Smith" as seen in the letters. The whole thing about him being given orders is in his head and his way of coping with guilt. This is why we see him always talking to people that he killed in the past, and they're all like "oh hey, I'm actually glad you killed me"
Well, I think Samantha Smith was the name of the more meaner Samantha while Sitbons is the kinder one. He's been used by both sides you say? You mean both the Japanese and American government or Harman and Kun Lan?
Old Harman and Kun represent American and Japanese. No, Smith is the real Samantha, since it was she who wrote the letters. The maid Samantha is what he thought Samantha Smith would have been like (he never met her). All throughout the story, he was under a delusion that he could justify his own actions, as can be seen through subtleties in his conversations (say with Chris, who tells him not to get too emotional and him blaming Curtis for Dan's death when it was actually he who killed Dan).
Oh wait, you mean Christopher Mills. In the end he can justify his own actions though, to destroy Japan or America by deciding Matsuoka's life. That is after he has been freed from his bond by killing his own past self.
I mean, he's fighting his own demons. Why else would he being seeing "ghosts" of people he killed who are always saying "hey, you killed me, but it's cool, I wanted to die." Yes they are all Samantha, but the young, abusive Samantha is someone he hired to "act" as a caretaker and to keep telling himself that he didn't kill Harman. In the scene with Matsuoka, it's either he killed Garcian (Japan wins) or you killed Matsuoka (America wins). Well, if some can die twice...I suppose it's possible
I mean Emir (not Matsuoka) killed Garcian (internally). Anyways, I rewatched the cutscenes, and you're right. Young Harman is alive. Harman mentioned that Emir killed the Smith's "leader," and stuffed him into the safe, but he never mentioned the leader's name. My guess is that it's "Garcian" since the letters mention that, and that'll explain why Garcian took his name. But the old guy (not the cosmic old guy) with college Samantha is just a sickly old man
Well, there aren't any real "facts" on this game. This is an open-ended story, but one thing's clear is that the Harmans ARE different, and if you work things out, the guy in the safe is named Garcian.
Yes, the whole Emir was killed on the roof and is revived by an immortal Harman is valid as well. I'm just trying to put forth a theory with as little mysticism as possible
@FoieGras I think it's actually young Harman in the safe; when Garcian opens it in the school, young harman comes out of that room in Garcian's trailer (he's probably the one you can hear screaming) and kills Harman and Kun playing chess.
@AndrewSpriter But see the reason I think it's a man named Garcian is because the letters never mention anything about a Harman actually being part of the syndicate. What they did mention, however, is that Emir killed the syndicate's leader (they didn't mention a name) and stuffed HIM into the safe.
Harman, whatever his role is in Emir's past, is the only one known to be "Harman Smith," is likely to have been confused with the leader.
I think he refers to Curtis (?) Blackburn, since Cloudman's hair is black.
If I remember well you had to shot him when the bird gets off his shoulder (or whatever the name is of the body part the bird is standing on), be carefull cause I remember the damn bird is tricky XD.

Harman here is immortal, same as Kun Lan. So this maybe is him but already useless. That's why he orders Emir to do the work for him.
usanto 2 years ago
He's definitely Harman though. What Emir kill in the school was just one part of Harman. The other part still lives, as seen in the hotel later.
But I'm not sure about it, that's just one way to put things in this game. The website has some weird stuff.
