 Hello everyone and welcome back to enter the ether the new podcast That's all about the upcoming third-person MOBA ethereal clash of souls I'm your host the man goose joining me as always as my friend and co-host jelly knees. How you doing jelly? I'm great man goose How are you? Was that the jelly guns? Always gotta rock the jelly guns Right old man. How was your week? Oh, it's been crazy stressful, but I'm happy to be here Same here same here. We need to get this game. So I have an escape I don't have an escape anymore. I need something to take me out of the real world Well, we could enter the ether if it would ever come out, you know, so exactly oh on brand on brand right on So this week what we're gonna be talking about are the voice lines specifically We're gonna try and guess some of the abilities from the voice lines. They didn't leave us a lot to go on some of them I think they straight up just gave us the ability names in the voice line They just didn't tell us what they were. So of course you guys if you have any ideas what you think the abilities are Please let us know in the comments below But let's not get into it now I wrote down a whole bunch of the voice lines the ones that interested me in particular Jelly at any point if you have one two that you want to throw in of course feel free to do so But um, let's start off with the ultimates and the first ultimate we have is zero He says you will be judged No, what I gather from that is that it's a single target ultimate ability that's going to be offensive That's about all we can gather. But I mean you I guess could Refer to a group of people, but you know, usually it just refers to one person So I seem to I think this might be a single target. Um, ultimate. What do you think jelly? I completely agree. I think that you gives that away and that's going to be single target And the way I see this and the kind of the way the line is delivered is it reminds me of I know you don't play league But in league there's a character garen Whose ultimate is that he kind of drops a sword on somebody and smites them for a large trunk of damage more so if they're low health And I think that is probably what we're going to see here for zero is something very similar to that as a because zero is very balance of the scales type deal In my mind right seeing what we've seen and hearing some of the zero's voice lines. That's kind of what I think of um being the So that this you will be judged is kind of that counterweight to that So I think it'll be probably some kind of execute ultimate and that does percent health or something in there of What when I heard the voice line what I thought of was uh terriel from heroes of the storm Which is the blizzard moba and well terriel is also of course from diabolo if you guys have ever played diabolo But um, he's kind of an angelic presence just like uh, like zero and uh, he has an ultimate called judgment where he Flies to one target. Uh deal some damage and stuns them. That's that's kind of what I thought of I just the only thing I think we can really know for for sure And we can't even really know that for sure is that it is a probably a single target ultimate And it um, I think we I think we can definitely 99.9 percent certainly say that it's an offensive ultimate Yep, I would completely agree with that Especially with zero's kind of whole aesthetic of having the sword and gun I don't really see it being some kind of defensive ultimate of any kind based on their their philosophy for designing heroes Right And then uh, let's see grog nark grog nark says no stone left unturned um No stone left unturned Groundy boy kind of a rock guy I would assume this would be some sort of earthquake type thing. What do you think jelly? That was my thought behind it too similar to reinhardt in overwatch Is some kind of cone shaped kind of knockup that'll stun people or something among those lines Uh, especially knowing so he's a berserker so he moves rocks He's already going to be able to move and position rocks based on the class ability So I think that just escalating that to a more widespread thing that could knock people up or trap them in stone or something like that Would be a good ability for him Right. Yeah, he's uh, yeah, he's a berserker I think that'd be really cool Hopefully, you know, it'd be really cool is if it went through multiple levels Oh, that'd be rad level and it went all the way down through the bottom. That'd be super cool actually Lots of potential with that and abilities Yeah, like if you had some kind of spire ability that towered down If it did damage all the way through all the layers first that could be uh, there there's some cool things you could do with that Can you imagine getting a double kill you get somebody Up above you and somebody right in front of you the coincidence of just like oh, I got two people. Yay And of course if you're me you'll pass it off like you did it on purpose And if you're me you'll be the second guy that died to absolutely something random Like what the hell And then actual uh, he says two as one jelly. What do you think of that? I think because we know his the whole deal is that he's got like split personality There's a term for it in the lore that I can't remember suddenly um But that there's going to be some kind of Both of his forms are going to attack at the same time So whether that be double auto damage or some kind of you do an auto and some magic damage with it or something like that That's what I see this as is them coming together to fight together on some in some way right Yeah, the only thing I can really gather is definitely a self buff ultimate Like two as one we know that he's Got got his weird shadow that he talks to in his voice lines So, uh, yeah, I think that's definitely a self buff style ultimate Unless who knows it could be that you take a teammate and the two of you come together and now you have all your abilities One person controls abilities one person controls movement Chug all And then nicolai says coming at you live No idea what that could be personally it could be a buff for his team It could be a debuff for the enemy team. It could be damage. It could literally a charm. It could be anything Maybe he literally comes at you You know Yeah, you can't really gather anything from that when we do know that nicolai is a support So it very well could be like a team wide buff or or something, but no idea from the voice line Maybe it's a move speed increase So that it's a wide move speed increase so that he's Rocking out and motivating everyone to charge forward or something like that That would be pretty good. Especially if it offered a attack speed too. Oh, that'd be great. You didn't attack speed on it. That'd be crazy And then uh calia playtime is over Jelly, what do you think of that? I have no idea to be honest Knowing that she's a nine-tailed fox Right, there's I assume you could go through some of the lore of nine-tailed foxes and probably find something But it's it's the word playtime that is messing with me here if it was like Uh, your reign is over or something like that. I'd be like, okay. Maybe I could extrapolate further But it's the playtime that I just is messing with me here Well, I mean you could tell from the rest of her voice lines that she is very playful playful like Just her attitude is very carefree. Um I don't know if she's a mage so Probably some kind of aoe is what I'm gonna say probably that that much is probably true That's all that's all I got This one this one really confused me as well lia the uh one of the sky slayers We blossom as one Nature-based, but I have no idea what we blossom as one could be So I know lia's kind of lore Is that she was born from a tree Because of her deity So that in my mind that the blossom is being born her being born from the tree that she's kind of trying to associate with that So maybe it's a but she's not a support. So maybe it's a revive. Maybe she could revive somebody born out of a tree or something or I don't know that one's weird Because you can't even like that's what gets me to If she was a support that line would make perfect sense because it would be a support style to go along with a support style ultimate But I mean nothing says that a sky slayer can't have a supporting ultimate, but it just seems strange. Yeah And typically you see that if the the junglers which being the sky slayers Are going to have support of ultimates. It's usually a stun of some kind or some kind of uh Chained cc between uh the enemy team and I just don't see this line associating with either of those concepts Maybe she picked somebody up and flies with them. Maybe it's kind of like we were talking about kind of cool She can pick up a teammate and fly along for a little bit that kind of rad actually It would be neat Um, see malware. I think this one I think this one's kind of obvious. Yeah trapped in my reality Um, I think it'll be a lot like remnants ultimate and paragon 100 percent especially knowing malware comes from a more like Technological reality that it's different from the plane that we're going to be on That's trapped in his reality. He's just going to open a portal shove somebody through it and duke it out 1v1 Which I love that's one of my favorite ultimates that you see in mobas Because it's the true 1v1. It's like, okay, you and me. Let's go. No team to help you out right now. We're proving this Hopefully they can make it work because Epic never made it work with revenant. It never functioned the way that I well, maybe it's my fault for misinterpreting But no, they did they did pretty clearly say in his hero reveal that it was going to be a one versus one fight Yeah, the way they did it was weird It was always you could be affected by other stuff And that wasn't because they wanted his ultimate to be that way. That's because they couldn't get his ultimate to function In the way they wanted it to Well, and hopefully malware's ultimate is just like revenant's ultimate, but it works My understanding of ultimates like that is that when those characters are in play You're basically rendering a second version of the playfield at the same time That when they cast that ultimate it's whoever they cast on and them are going to that second version of the playfield So it's removing them, but it's not at the same time It's a it's from what I understand very complicated on a coding side to get that to work correctly So it's I can't imagine the undertaking that they're going through if that's really what it is They probably need a whole new server and everything And I mean that would that wouldn't just be that wouldn't be very cost efficient to have two servers for one game No, I assume it's but they also said that they are rendering. They want it to be Easier to play than paragon was Or at the same level at the very least So that's a hard metric to fit and I think that was part of paragon's problem with revenant Is that that game took so much resources that to then have a character that has to separate those resources from each other Is a lot to do and over instantaneous at the same time I guess we'll find out So malaya you made me do this I have me do this It sounds like it's some kind of returning of damage In my mind that she'll build up damage over time. It's the it's kind of the like Uh, stop hitting yourself kind of return Yeah, so she builds up damage over time presses her ultimate and returns it all to somebody That you made me do this That's uh, that's a keen observation here. I didn't even think of that I was just thinking because she's an assassin that it's definitely, uh, You know a single target focused ultimate I didn't even think so far is that you made me do this implies that She actually You know Reflects damage to people in a way or stores it up and then Part of the reason I think of that as well is that we've seen that Concept art with her having that shield or whatever it is around her And I'm thinking that those two things are related So the shield in some way is gathering the damage that she then returns to somebody else Oh, that would be badass I like that good good good call jelly knees Uh marina this one's not the one that could be just about anything She is a support. She says hurricane marina hurricane marina Yep Clever voice line, I guess but uh doesn't really tell us anything This could mean literally about the ultimate She she changes the weather of the game to be rainy and maybe she gets bonuses from it or She heals her team or she like, I don't Is this acid rain? Is she pouring acid rain on the other team? Is she healing her team? Is she what is this? Are she causing a flood? Maybe that's what it is. She does like a tidal wave effect that it's a hurricane So there's the flooding. I don't know it could literally be anything Yeah Yeah, that's another one. We're just clueless on Uh, how about the next one's jelly knees you want to read those off? Yeah, so we've got noxus with let the light in Let the light in in my mind. This is going to be some kind of She's a light based character, of course, so that's important, but she's going to Do like a burst attack of some kind as her ultimate In that it's it's the final let the light in come on. We're doing this right now So it's I don't know that that's literally my best guess on this one Yeah I was thinking it could be something it would be sort of a self buffing ultimate Since she functions with light maybe let the light in she Okay, use yourself with light or something like that. I didn't think about that at all, but that that could be entirely possible Again, I like that not enough really to go one The only one that's that really tells us exactly what it is is malware with trapped in my realities Everyone else is just a guess at best. Yeah Then we've got tallows with get down Which is very interesting to me because I wonder if that ability could affect his own team Because that's normally what you would say you don't say get down to your enemies Exactly. And so it's the unless it's like a He's telling them to get knocked down or something like he's Maybe this maybe this will be that earthquake ability or the the earth shatter ability that knocks people down Or up or whatever it may be but to me this feels like it's something that could affect both sides So you have to coordinate with your tallows to make sure he's going to cast it And not affect your team but only affect the other team, right? uh Yeah, I mean now that you say that that kind of It makes me think of intervene As a warrior in world of warcraft, which is the ability where you charge to somebody and take any damage that they were going to take Maybe that's what it could be. He always get down charges to a target and then Takes any damage that they would take because he is of the night class, which are the tanks of ethereal He doesn't have a shield though Is my thought because they're so adamant about designing characters and using the equipment that they've been given He's only got his big axe and according to his lore. He used to have a shield that he got rid of So really I don't know if that's Going to work for him like a defensive ability like that you'd think of a shield or something Granted his axe is pretty big. Maybe he's just gonna hold the axe out in front of him and use that as A shield in this case, but take it on the jaw man Yeah, I don't know if this could go either way Yeah, I could it really could Interesting interesting and then a run So everything you know is about to burn Everything you know is gonna be some kind of flamethrower attack Yeah, I feel like that's it's the burn that says that but his lore in the background is that he Is basically like a devil Created as a weapon to hunt down the heralds of other deities So zero or talos or people like that So I'm very interested to see If his lore ties into that at all if he's more fire based Because when you look at Iran is his art or his character model, he's very rock. He's He's solid rock and I don't see fire as his main Source so it's interesting that he's going to burn people with his ultimate Yeah, he's got the flaming red eyes, but that's about it as far as fire to do with him So I wonder if we're going to see more Fire abilities out of Iran Than just his ultimate It would be cool. I hope he breathes the fire Be pretty rad Or a fire breathing Iran All right. Uh, now we've gotten encounters with xcl and countering khalia Yeah so So it's uh, I don't look directly at her you fool. She's charming you that's a pretty obvious I think I think for me for that khalia is going to have some kind of charm ability Yeah, that's very that's why I wrote that one down. Yeah, it's very in lore for a nine-tailed fox as well Yeah In almost every game that has a nine-tailed fox they have a charm ability at the same time So it seems like there's a consistency here that I don't see why they would not follow Yeah, I that that's why I wrote that down. It definitely makes it I mean, it's it's xcl's line, but it definitely makes leaves you to believe that khalia is gonna be able to charm people She is quite charming Out of all the voice lines, I'm gonna I'm gonna stop here real quick out of all the voice lines Hers are my favorite as far as how well their voice acted agreed I think pairs did an amazing Job with that. Um, if you guys want to check out pairs, she has a youtube channel called fluffy and trying her best I think it's called. Oh, I'll link it down in the description. But yeah, um She did an amazing amazing job with khalia. Just the right amount of spunk It's probably not everybody's cup of tea because she's kind of a like an annoying child, but They wanted an annoying child and that's what they got and it sounded like she was having fun with it Yes, exactly It really sounded like she was into it Which is makes sense. I mean, that's why I think on their current website If you go to that initial page where you have to click to enter It's a khalia voice line that plays because I think they are aware that her voice lines just sound so good and so much fun That it makes you excited to listen to them right 100 and then another one when leah encounters malware She sounds very horrified. This was a very well-acted voice line as well She says you are you are not of this world and uh, I think that implies because we know From the website and the lore that we've been given that there's various worlds in the ethereal universe some of them are technologically advanced Some of them are very natural some of them are heavens like some of them are hellish But uh, it really sounds and leah is definitely of the natural part But what it really sounds like malware is not anything of the universe at all like Leah would know Of the other worlds and their technological advancements and such But it even it seems like malware is even outside of that sort of scope of Of uh of understanding for leah, which I think is really cool. I did too and malware Is cybernetic he it's not that he got cybernetic enhancements like that's part of his being From the images that we've seen that's what I that's the feeling I get from that So I feel like that's going to be an entire world of people Or of creatures that are not just cybernetically enhanced. They are biological machines basically Yeah, which I think is going to be a cool concept to explore Yeah, I'm really looking forward to malware. I'm not much for ADCs, but malware seems really fun. It doesn't matter if his ultimate if we're right about his ultimate you can just 1v1 somebody It's just you with them. No problem But that's where I fail jelly I'm a team player. I do not do well on my own Then we have a uh joke from xeol where he plays rock paper scissors with his shadow Which I think is kind of neat. I think that lends a lot of um Uh lends a lot to that character because his Shadow is just blood thirsty and vicious and he seems more of a kind of an innocent um Kind of good sort of guy and just the thought of those two just played rock paper scissors with each other I think is kind of funny. Well, the interesting thing about the shadow is if I remember correctly about the lore Is that it's explained that that shadow is a disease Really, I don't remember seeing that I'm I feel like that's what I saw. Maybe I'm wrong But I if I remember correctly it was it but between malaya and his lore you can kind of Maybe Make the logical gap that he has this disease malaya talks about I think it's her mother gets this split personality disease And to me that sounds very similar to xcl's shadow Right and knowing that they're related as well Is an important thing for that. Maybe it's genetic. Maybe there's there's more to it that we don't know about But to me so it's interesting that this is a disease that maybe xcl has risen above to me it sounds like some kind of form of um Alzheimer's But it's you're splitting your personality into two separate forms and those are fighting for control And the the two is one line and this joke of him playing with his shadow. Maybe he's come to like an agreement with either side Uh that they are more comfortable with each other or something among those lines Which I I'm super stoked to see him just for more about his lower side than anything else Because I think he's a very interesting character He is going down that route I'm more excited about his sweet sweet abs Uh, move on. Uh, they have some actual ability names in the voice lines. Um, marina has several voice lines for something called ebb and flow Which is uh, a lot of the voice lines have to do with Seems like dousing people with water really but in a good way And knowing she's got a trident and she's kind of mermaid like Not without the tail, but she's kind of got that vibe about her that would make sense that it's all water based Evan flow could be anything Yeah, I mean ebb and flow means give and take really So my thought all the voice lines seem to be just giving My thought process behind that is that she might take health from an enemy and give it to an ally Hmm Ooh, that would be awesome Just knowing she's a support so that would fit it gives her a heal that she can use Um fits with a theming of ebb and flow like that's but that's the best thing I have for it In that regard How about telos Jolenees So he's got voice lines for frenzy is what it is called in the the videos that he's got and that to me seems like some kind of frenzied ability he's gonna do more damage or attack faster or something among those lines For probably uh, I don't think it's an ultimate ability. Well, we know it's not as his ultimate ability It was the get down Right But so I'm not sure if this will be a passive ability that maybe every certain amount of auto attacks He goes into a frenzy or if he builds up enough auto attacks in a row He goes into frenzy or if this will be a full-fledged ability for it or not either Yeah, that's the only that's the thing I could think of is it's definitely some sort of self buff where he Probably attack speed. I got it. He'll just be Boris. We'll just give him Boris's cue or he runs at somebody Gains attack speed gains moves speed and damage Problem solved. Yeah, that'd be great on a tank And that's all I had written down jelly Did you have any voice lines you wanted to talk about? Those are really the big ones that I saw too in those videos that those were the ones that I think gave the best perspective on the ability Possible plus the little things like the jokes and the ability name that you saw I think um Like I said, I think callias are the best um voice acted no offense to the other voice actors They all did a great job. Just that one struck me is particularly good I think the best lines though are a ron's a ron has some really great voice lines if you If you haven't heard them in a while go back and listen to them because they're just They're awesome And I think it's really easy for a character like that to overdo the effects on his voice And I don't feel like that was done at all with a ron I feel like they're they're right in that balance where it's a good effect, but it's not overdone Yeah, uh tricolor did a great job. Mm-hmm there He kills it like rock talks voice. You can hear like rocks rumbling and background every every time he talks The weird thing to me seeing tricolor baby birds chirping. Yep. The weird thing seeing tricolor's work It feels like somebody who's been in the industry for 30 years doing like the little details like that And he's relatively young like it just it blows my mind Just it makes me feel like what am I doing that I I can't do things like this Oh, I've just never devoted myself something as thoroughly As a tricolor has And he makes like voice lines for league voice packs for league just on his own He does all these things that I'm just like I'm sitting here not doing any of those things Right Uh, he's also um, he's assisting with uh project stamina with their voice lines. Oh, is he I didn't know that busy busy b Good for him Yeah Hope it uh, I hope it works out for him. I hope it uh ends up. I hope he ends up eventually making money Yep Don't we all I mean this whole team I hope they all eventually start making money Truly because they put so much work into this And seeing the design team and all of the art that they've created and the just the concepts of all of this I hope it succeeds for them all into the future for sure It's something we talked about earlier this week. We were saying, um, you know They'll probably do a kickstarter or something like that eventually the most games do but they need to Come out with um with gameplay before they do any sort of kickstarter or ask for any kind of money So I think as I put it it'll be a shit storm starter rather than a kickstarter if they uh Try to ask for money without showing us some gameplay. Absolutely. I couldn't agree with more with you because it's At this point it's been long enough. We should have some kind of proof of concept For people to to back the project for people that have been part of the community to back the project I guess I should say There are people out there that'll back it no no matter what what they do, but hopefully we get to see something attached with it other than Uh, they I know that they're working on a website update other than the website update I hope we see more than that Um to help prove that this is something that's happening to those people that don't believe something's happening I mean you and I both know that they're working very hard on this game every day We're but we're in contact with Owen and Kai and people like that And my girlfriend who works on it every day, right? It's it's I'm gonna say you you see it more than I do So it's one of those things where we know it's happening But there are a lot of people that don't and they just are taking our words for it basically So it'd be way better for the community to see something Concrete rather than just have to take people like us as word Or yep, it's happening. It's gonna happen soon I want to see something concrete too. I mean I I believe in them and everything but Again, I'm just going off of what I've been told by people and you know what I've seen in the background but Fucking core told me a lot of shit too Not being true. Oh man, I don't know man Just don't be another core. Just don't be another core. I got a lot of faith in them. I got a lot of faith in them I have seen some behind the scenes stuff and uh Very certain that this game will come out. Well, if it's going to be good or not I have no no freaking idea. I'm not gonna blow smoke up anybody's ass to say that it's going to be the greatest game ever Because I don't know I haven't played the game yet So I know that I am very very excited for it and very much looking forward to it much like Many of you are and I know jellydies. I know you're just as stoked for it for it as I am Absolutely And it's I won't say that the game is going to be anything But it definitely has the potential to be the next big thing. Oh god, yeah And that's I think that's the most exciting thing for me Is that we've been I basically a lot of us in the community are on the ground floor of potentially seeing that happen I'm seeing it like Like I came in the paragon. I wouldn't say late, but Definitely wasn't the first person on the server or anything like that But uh with the theory it could be something bigger and better than paragon and we could be the first people in the servers Something to make smite sweat Yeah, finally Smite needs to sweat. They need to clean up their ass. They really do honestly But uh, I think that's all I got for uh this week jelly. You got anything. No, that's it for me too Anything you want to plug uh twitch tv slash jelly niece, you know Hang out there five nights a week man goose is there a lot of the time Just very chill vibes over there Happy to talk about all things a real plug this week either, but Yeah Yeah, come hang out with us.
