Sadly, there's no DLC coming. That's kind of disappointing. I remember in 2017, we got so many different modes. Some we had to wait a while for too. But we got quite a few nonetheless. With this game, it's longer, so I guess it wasn't needed.
RE8 Village thoughts roundup
- Thread starter mert20004
- Start date
It would have been funny if the game ended right after Miranda ripped Ethans heart out. They were smart and included Not A Hero Part 2 into the game. That last segment felt like a straight up CoD game which bugged me. I don’t know why Chris has to always be associated with heavy action, his CVX segment was just fine as a survival horror back in the day.
It’s a shame no DLC, as the Ada concept art would have been cool to use as a Separate Ways scenario. She is always hunting down new parasites for her clients.
This YouTuber called Nemesis has gone downhill.
Like, I remember the days when he used to really stick it to Capcom in his videos. Now he's acting all neutral because of the heat he used to receive from the community.
I never do that. I never sell out. I am always completely honest, even when I can predict what I'll be setting myself up for. And just know that the last half hour of this stream is so hilarious. He calls the agent Leon. The mighty certainly have fallen.

If a person changes his mind, it does not mean that he is lying or sold out.
I remember that he was excited about the announcement of Resident Evil 7 and enjoyed the game, but then some mad wolf bit him on the ass, after which he became an irrational hater.
I am not surprised that this condition has had a limited period of time, because a person cannot live and build a career on hatred.

The Cadou parasite is a nematode that was infected by the Mold.
I believe that this mutated parasite gave the characteristics of different animals through the Mold, as the fungus originated from a centuries-old "library" of genetic information. A similar process is the reason why Marguerite and her bugs were chimeras, since they shared the same habitat, so the fungus crossed their cells.
This is probably how Heisenberg was able to obtain electrical organs, since some fish have such organs, although this could be a consequence of convergent evolution. One of the features of the Mold is also that it can create muscle tissue, the nervous system, brain cells, and so on, if the fungus is combined with other bacteria.
This huge thing in the cave is originally called a mycorrhiza, that is, a symbiote of parasitic organisms and a fungus. All these components exist as a single entity. Well, like any real mycorrhiza in nature.
Yeah, I'm a little late with the answers. But better late than never, ha-ha!
I hope RE9 does round out this apparent trilogy, as I am patiently awaiting the return of the original characters for whatever storylines Capcom may present for them.
Jill, Barry, Rebecca, etc, have not been seen in ages. But I don't mind these first person games as something new. However, some fans are concerned that the survival horror aspects are still being toned down a notch.

I don't think that developers can give horror and old characters at the same time, because it is the focus on these characters that is the root cause of the growth of action and scale, since you need to justify their progression.
If developers want to make horror games all the time, the best way to do this is to make little stories about different people, like the first and seventh games were.

It's hard to make survival horror games about the old characters when they've essentially become super heroes at this point. Theres only so many times the characters can go through the same old stuff before they say fuck it like Chris did in Village and went in guns blazing. I agree with russident, the only way for it to really work is to have the story be focused around newer characters who are a lot more inexperienced.
Thanks for clearing up some facts on the game, it’s a shame once again we have to look to supplemental material to get the full story of events and monster creation. I really don’t understand the mold and how it can be as effective as a virus, seems more like magic to me even if this is science fiction. If anything it reminds me of the Cordyceps from Last of Us.

That epilogue alone has me pumped for playing part 9. I wonder what they're going to name that one.
See you in... 3 more years, Ethan. Or will it be sooner than that?

After completing the game, I had some questions, so I was also waiting for additional material, but I found myself in deep shock when, after returning to the game, I discovered several optional sections, optional enemies, and optional plot elements that are very easy to miss. The game really made me feel like a pioneer. And I don't remember the previous games in the series giving me this great vibe.
For example, I found a cave under the village where one of Chris' men was studying the Mold. You can see how the mycorrhiza has sprouted under the entire village and even continues to increase when Ethan comes there. Apparently, Miranda and the false children initiated the genocide to feed the mycorrhiza before the ceremony.
I also found the dungeon in the stronghold where Miranda was experimenting on Alcina Dimitrescu. I used to think that Alcina is an impostor, as she wrote that Miranda gave her the castle, but it turned out that she is a descendant of the Dimitrescu family, and Miranda found her outside the village.
I also discovered that Heisenberg was aware of the BSAA's arrival.
There's so much information to think about in the game, and I'm not even sure I've found it all.
Yeah, I can see that. They are both parasitic man-eating fungi.
The Mold's ability to mimic the human form also reminded me of the theory that the human nervous system has the same origin as the fungal mycelial network.

Well, I don't think the fungus really changes a person's DNA. Rather, it replicates a life form and changes its own DNA based on genetic information.
The Mold is still not as effective as the virus, though. Spencer left Miranda because he needed an exponential infection. For Miranda to take over the world, she had to constantly feed the mycorrhiza to make it grow. We saw it in the game this process. This is a really bad way to implement God syndrome.
I was disappointed that we didn't get to officially see Ethan's face. Not that I expected to once I seen the art work dropping. I also think Chris is a bad friend if he really did set Ethan up to live in that region. Just doesn't seem like that's a nice way to treat a pal, even if it was to get at Miranda. I mean, if it was me, I would never appreciate any soldier putting my family and I in harm's length. He didn't even reveal this to Ethan and he was sleeping with the enemy, no doubt.
That the story didn't make much sense was a let down for me. I didn't think at any moment the game was unenjoyable. I don't particularly care for this direction, but I am still interested about Rosemary's powers and how Chris will be in the future. And I hope RE9 takes place in a city, as it would be interesting to go from a swamp to a village setting, to a quaint little town.

What do you mean?
Like, there shouldn't have been all this secrecy from Chris. How did he know about Miranda? I didn't read every note. But I think I want to get back to the original characters soon. For real...
Chris wasn't wrong, though. Ethan is the only one who died on this mission, even though he did a lot of useful things.
Ethan could have ruined the whole operation if he'd known it wasn't his wife who was living with him.
This is unknown, but Chris learned about Miranda's plan through Emily and after the Winters were moved to another country. We also don't know why the BSAA didn't take any action on the fact that Ethan isn't quite human.
But I wouldn't say that these holes were left unintentionally given the way the BSAA uses bioweapons, knew about Miranda before Chris, and tried to intercept Eveline. It is possible that the organization was watching the Winters to get a new Eveline.
Well, Ethan may not be dead. That's why I am intrigued for to know for sure in the next sequel.
I really enjoyed the exploration, quirky puzzles and combat. For me it was an awesome entry in the series. It reminded me of my thoughts while playing RE4, I could tell it was different but it still gave me the Resident Evil experience I was looking for. Can't wait to play the next game in the trilogy!
