Splatoon 2 Octo Expansion has been released since few weeks,
and you probably know it's filled with a lot of details.
Some are funny.
and some are interesting.
Some are there to give us more information about the game story.
In this video, i will show you 15 details
you probably didn't notice in Octo Expansion.
the first one is pretty funny when you look at it.
when you check the subway map with agent 8.
If you move your joystick to travel between lines;
you may notice that Agent 8 is moving his thumb at the same time as you.
His movement is exactly the same
as the one you are doing on your controller.
It's like agent 8 was controlling everything.
Number 2: You probably know that with Octo Expansion you can unlock
octalings. They are playable in the game.
But maybe you are curious about what happens if you try to go back in
the Octo Valley with an octaling skin.
Well, your appearance will change to an inkling.
Marie sent agent 4 in a mission in the story, and this agent is an inkling.
It would be against the story if the character suddenly change for an octaling.
So Nintendo's dev added this.
If you go back to the hero mode as an octaling, your character will change to an inkling.
But he will change back to octaling as soon as you join Inkopolis.
Number 3: Talking about Inkopolis, there's a small difference if you are
an octaling and look at Off the Hook through the window.
Indeed, you probably know they are waving at you
if you fix them during few seconds.
But their movement is different if you are
inkling or if you are an octaling.
It looks like Pearl and Marina recognize Agent 8 behind the window.
The same agent they helped during this DLC.
Number 4: Let's talk about music now.
And especially this DLC music.
If you bought Octo Expansion DLC, you can unlock
musics with the arcade.
But for that you need to progress inside the DLC story,
then you will have access to new musics.
The small detail to notice is those music numbers
don't follow the previous ones. They start with
the number 80.
This number is a small reference to the word "octo" which means 8,
and it's another reference to the word octopus because they have 8 tentacles.
By the way, speaking about octopus, number 5, let's talk about DJ Octavio now.
you probably know if you saw my video about a theory saying that
DJ Octavio is controlling Tenta-Titans in the hero mode.
With this DLC, we can see some bosses coming from the hero mode
We could think they are controlled by DJ Octavio.
And in fact, not at all.
If we look at these bosses tentacles precisely,
we can't see DJ Octavio scar on it.
it proves that dev paid attention to this kind of detail.
First, we can think the theory was true, but it also means
that DJ Octavio doesn't exist in green and blue version.
TarTar probably didn't catch him.
Number 6: Let's talk about all the floating objects we can notice in this DLC.
If you paid attention to it, you probably recognized some of these.
We can see Gameboys, Gamecube, in short, a lot of retro objects.
But in fact, to be really more specific, it's not only objects
but retro games.
And people had fun just trying to look
and compare them with real games that have existed.
And it's pretty funny to see all the little details hidden everywhere on the maps.
Not everybody can notice and know it
if you weren't born in the 80s and 90s.
But it's interesting to notice.
By the way, number 7:
take a look at the arena names.
Apparently, majority of those arena name
are references to music, or movies.
I can't make a full list of 80 levels,
but i'll show you some right now.
It's not obvious everytime, sometimes you have to know
the music or movie really well to understand.
but hints are there, you can't deny it.
It's not really the same with the french version
but you can see it with the english version.
translator had a lot of fun with it.
Number 8: Let's talk about C.Q. Cumber.
You probably know that everytime you're about to start a level, he's here to give you information.
And sometimes he does some weird stuff like climbing walls.
First of all, it's interesting to notice that we can see other sea cucumbers
in the Octo Expansion. And they aren't C.Q. Cumber.
But it's not the only thing:
you can make C.Q. Cumber fall off the wall.
Simply by shooting at him.
So obviously it's a really small detail.
But it's pretty funny to see that Nintendo dev tried to make it
really realistic.
So we can be mean and shoot at him to make him fall off his wall.
Personally, I felt guilty after that.
Number 9: Let's talk about the SplatNet 2 application now.
When you are playing online, it calculates your points
and gives you an indicator of how much you have inked so far.
You can win some rewards after a certain amount of points, like a wallpaper.
But if you choose to be an octaling
you will unlock a new meter different than the inkling one, with new rewards.
So if you want to complete everything, well,
once you have finished the inkling counter, you will also have the octaling counter to fill.
By the way, speaking of wallpaper, lets talk about the detail number 10:
Take a look at Cap'n Cuttlefish phone.
You may not have noticed; but it is possible to look at the screen
and realize that his wallpaper is a Squid Sisters picture.
Indeed, we can see Callie and Marie on his screen.
It's actually a picture already in the game, in Splatoon 1.
And you can see it there, on their grandfather's phone,
and it's pretty cool!
Number 11: let's talk about train.
You can see that there are more than one train.
Because when you are travaling on certain lines
you might cross other trains.
So, how many trains? Do we have more than one C.Q. Cumber
It's not very clear! But one thing is obvious:
It's not the only train.
Maybe there are other octalings in other trains doing the same adventure as us
but in a different order?
This theory is pretty nice to be honest.
Number 12: It's probably an obvious detail but let's talk about
one of the bonus conversation you will unlock at the end of this DLC
In this conversation, we can see agent 2 talking with Cap'n Cuttlefish.
If you finished hero mode you probably know that agent 2 is Marie.
And we can see Marie talking with her grandfather.
It's interesting to notice that in this conversation
we can't say if it's happening before or after you finished the hero mode.
This discussion comes when you finish the DLC,
but in what is said, we don't really know if Callie is back or not.
or still remains a DJ Octavio's prisoner.
It's like Nintendo dev placed this discussion here to
let us understand that it's not really important.
Hero mode and DLC can be played independently and in parallel.
They probably happening both at the same time, or close.
One have no impact on the other one.
That's what we can think about this discussion. Agent 2 says she will be
waiting at the cabin, but she doesn't talk about Callie.
The mystery remains.
And finally, apart from the fact that Cap'n Cuttlefish loves snacks;
this discussion isn't really giving us any more information.
Number 13: we're going to talk about the game case.
Actually, you can only buy the digital version of Octo Expansion
There's no case for the game because it's a DLC. You have to download it.
But it turns out that Nintendo created a cover for this DLC.
An Octo Expansion cover available for 30 platinum
points on MyNintendo.com.
You can print it at home and replace the original cover.
and show Octo Expansion colors.
Number 14: Let's talk about TarTar, the big bad guy in this story.
And here we are going to talk about his first name.
So Tartar that can make reference to the Tartar sauce
And it's probably what we look like after going in
his mixer.
And it's actually, and most importantly, a reference to Tartar from Greek mythology.
A place where all the souls in pain are locked. Really deep under the globe.
And it's a beautiful reference if look where the underground is.
It's under the sea, hidden in the depths of the oceans.
This place tries to lock us from the rest of the world.
It's a nice reference to the situation that takes place in the DLC.
Number 15 and to finish: let's talk about the statue at the end of the game,
but especially about the retro atmosphere we can see in this DLC.
In fact, it's a huge reference to the Vaporwave. It's a musical and
artistic movement that emerged on the internet.
And it's a style that actually refers to 80s.
The "Old School" aesthetic you can find everywhere.
Old consoles, old games, old 3D logos, different effect and
glitch on enemies, flashy colors, between pink and green, and music
coming from computer.
All of that is centered around the Vaporwave, and once we understand that,
we can understand the style of this DLC. Even the statue at the end of the story.
You just have to type Vaporwave on Google to be convinced.
You will see Greek-Roman statues, and it's actually
a Vaporwave's emblem. I don't really understand the reason tho.
But it's sure that the last boss of this DLC
is a huge reference that concludes all this retro vibe.
This retro vibe you can find everywhere on this DLC.
And once you notice that, you open a new part of the story
that you probably didn't know.
That's all for this video, do not hesitate to say in comment which of these
details you already knew.
If you knew them all, which would surprise me, Well, say it too.
If you have others, share them too.
Maybe I'll have enough informations to do a second episode on the subject.
I hope you enjoyed it, it was Evilsquid.
I'll see you soon in a next video.
Cya!
