Animation Changes in Deltarune Snowgrave Route

Footage from:

#Noelle #Spamton #Berdly

What I think is scary is that she is ACTUALLY getting stronger
Not just with her magic
Just generally tougher.
Plus she literally uses a wall of ice to defend herself that's as literal as you can get

[MarcusFigueras]

its crazy how noelle loses her visible guilt in fighting when you're in snowgrave

[punkitt]

What a super cool thing to put in. It's definitely a wee bit more work than necessary, but that's why it's cool; having Noelle's goofier animations fade away and get more serious is the perfect way to subconsciously tell the player how much more detached and violent Noelle is getting. Big kudos to Toby and the team for stuff like this.

I LOVE Noelle's shocked expression when you're about to attack

[mathewgoquesan]

Noelle's Snowgrave idle makes it look like as if she's watching us input actions through the panels.

Very minor (probably not even worth a video), but also Berdly gets some changes during the Snowgrave Route: his facial expression in battle is serious instead of smirking; this also includes when he transforms his
halberd into a spear, and his weapon will lack its "eyes", until Noelle cast Snowgrave, which, together with Berdly, will look surprised.

I’d like to think that Noelle’s normal attack animation deals like 4 damage

[gabe]

Also, throughout the snowgrave route, Noelle’s “boldness” stat slowly rises from -12. I think once it passes 0 is when you get these animations. The more enemies you kill the higher Noelle’s boldness stat gets.

0:20 The way Kris starts dancing while Noelle is scared for her life😂

[jonsku]

Poor Noelle
Going from so innocent and confused that she swats at enemies
To a dulled cryomancer brushing off hits like they they're not much
(Guessing getting downed is the same in both?)

[pkoolaid]

Here's another neat detail. On a Weird Route, Noelle's attacks will never miss. If you intentionally let her bar go all the way to the end, her attack will still land.

The snowgrave ones definitely show how much she changes while with Kris on the route, basically Kris (or well, us.) act sorta like a suppressant for the feelings of being weak that Noelle often has, as we make her stronger, she loses some emotion, becoming more powerful in the form of getting more health not just physically affect her but also mentally, and if we were to go over the top and command her to cast Snowgrave onto Berdly, we make her fully break mentally for a moment when it’s being casted, she basically walked away after the battle cause she was mentally exhausted and tired after casting that cause she mentally lost her mind for a moment while Snowgrave was being casted.

In her end battle animation, the snow sphere surrounding her depicts castle town in the background. Hmm… 🤔

[Labratz_]

It’s so sad how taking damage barely bothers her in the snowgrave route. Probably because when you give her the thorn ring she constantly takes damage so she’s gotten used to it. It’s kinda horrible

[wiiwuu]

Looking at the bright side, I love how Noelle while attacking in the normal route will move her arm like saying "Shoo shoo!" xD it's very cute ✨

[GengUpinIpin]

Both are making Noelle stronger
Both are making Noelle somewhat more "confident"
Both gives her a new experience of life
One makes her filled with overwhelming emotion, one numbs her emotion
One is standing up herself (in the end), one is forced and brainwashed
One is getting closer to know herself better, one is distancing herself to kill better

[GhostbusterPalu]

0:25 Ah yes, the deadly arm flailing that deals critical _40_ damage to enemies

[orange]

Her animations normally: Funny and goofy
Her animations in snow mercy: Unnerving

[ArtseyHayton]

I did something so cruel and it felt so good to see noelle stand up for herself, but at the same time I felt like I've made a grave mistake...

Works like real life, repetition has it's wonders on people
