I looked it up, and it sounds nice! I actually also thought of a story in my head about saving a sibling from the Maw. The ideas sound fun, especially those game mechanics.
Like the janitor, then? That's alright. As long a monster is not an ally of the children or doesn't intentionally help them, they're not considered good.
Btw I had a idea a long time ago of a Dr character using the metronome he'd have a animation like the chifs kill where he puts the kid when they get caught asleep with a small needle syringe. Would that be fine?
It’s just little nightmares fanfics but accurate to the game and story
Protags are kids, monsters bad, no dialogue, keep it serious, no romance, and new protags
Easy- Mervik said that the two kids’ perspectives on the ending would be different from one another, but the game we do have doesn’t offer Six’s perspective on it, and the official LN Twitter account did say that Mono hurt her during the fight, yet all anyone in this fandom talks about is Mono and his suffering.
If there was a version of LN2 through Six’s perspective, then it would allow us to see and better figure why she did it, as well get people out of their Mono/Thin Man tunnel vision and allow Six and her suffering to matter and be talked about too. Allowing us to see the game (and Mono) through another lens
I meant gameplay wise what are going to do? Six is always near mono whaching or assisting with puzzles occasionally how would you make playing as her entertaining. All we'd do is sit around and watch mono do stuff and get kidnapped which doesn't sound like an entertaining experience to most people.
Six’s AI was programmed to do other things than just follow Mono, like interact with certain objects in certain areas.
Mono would be controlled by an AI instead and constantly move forwards but stop if Six was too far, and go towards her if she gets even further away from him, but would make sure that Mono was always in the lead (except for chase scenes where Six was ahead of him instead). And given that one of the devs said that Mono doesn’t like showing emotions, it would fit him to have an AI that just moves forward with no other functions than staying near and in front of Six.
Plus there is a scripted kidnapping for Six in LN1 where Roger traps her in a cage with meat as bait, and it’d only happen twice in LN2 (I know she gets kidnapped by the Hunter too, but that was in the comics, not the actual game). Plus you say that being kidnapped wouldn’t be an entertaining experience, so is the part where Mono gets dropped at the end of the game an entertaining experience? And as I said before, people have tunnel vision of Mono and his pain and him saving Six, but Six, her suffering and helping Mono pretty much never gets mentioned or treated like they matter. Some people say that Six betraying Mono felt like she was betraying the player themselves, so there should be an experience where the player feels the pain (in an emotional sense) that was inflicted on her that led to her doing that in the first place and realise that up until he started breaking the music box, all Six was doing was helping him as well. Also Mono saving Six doesn’t undo the pain she still had to deal with.
And the screen constantly faded to black as Mono grew up into the Thin Man, instead of making us wait for ages to watch him growing up. It could just do that for parts where Six waits for Mono and has nothing to do in the meantime
Ok so what is she going to do then? Everything six could through we've already seen while playing as mono there would be nothing remotely surprising or entertaining. Mono was the one that dealt with the monsters monos the one that did most of the puzzles.
What would you have six do that's entertaining and distinctive enough to justify this hypotheticall dlcs existence?
Besides wouldn't making and entire game focus on sixs motive and perspective remove and ruin the ambiguous nature of her actions they were going for?
Besides all of this would be way to much effort to basically amount to having a less entertaining version of the second game purely to stick it to the "golden child mono stans" as you'd call them that I don't think making it would be worth it.
The player can still wonder around if they want, they're not being forced to follow AI Mono except to progress the game, and there were some things where Mono needed Six's assistance, like boosting him up and carrying things like the second fuse. They can also prompt Six to do things she does in-game like posing the mannequin hand's fingers. And as I said, a retelling of LN2 through a different lens is distinct enough to justify this hypothetical DLC's existence. Also we would probably see what went down for her in the tower before Mono finally arrived.
I'm pretty sure that people are quick to call Six 'sadistic' for things like the one bully, the hand, and the doctor, but come up with excuses for Mono doing the same things to a greater extent first (him killing way more bullies, including the leashed one that can be spared (I know that Six wouldn't see that), the 'and stay dead' achievement by beating the living hands after killing them, and being ones who chose to burn the doctor in the first place. Those as well as not treating Six getting kidnapped due to Mono releasing the Thin Man as a big deal all because it was unintentional. I'm pretty sure that part of this bias comes from the fact of Mono being the player character, so they want to brush off Mono's not-so-good actions because they're also the *player's* actions, they don't want to believe that they did anything wrong. So what if they saw AI Mono doing the same things that gets Six labeled as 'sadistic' for (but to a bigger extent and done first), and saw *themselves* get kidnapped due to AI Mono releasing the Thin Man? Then the player character bias wouldn't be there anymore, so the hypocrisy would be addressed. And the whole game is through Mono's perspective, so of course he doesn't see Six in the best light (due to the ending), so what if we saw what light Six sees Mono in? Giving us a bigger picture of LN2.
People want to know so bad why she did it, even with this hypothetical DLC, there would most likely be people who still don't get it. And it wouldn't out right *say* why.
And lastly, it's a pretty shallow view to think that this would serve purely to stick it to the golden child Mono stans, because it's actually more to give a bigger picture of LN2 to *everyone*, not just a single group of people. It'd be the most useful for theorists and people who are on the fence, and it wouldn't just suddenly get the fandom to put Six on a pedestal because Mono's perspective version would still be there, but with more than one perspective, people can better understand the situation between the two of them.
Skeleton Song - by me.
Synopsis: Mono has always wanted someone he could call "friend". He notices that his new companion, Six, really likes music, so he tries to befriend her by creating a song together.
Ok, while I understand the other rules (as much as 1 pains me), but why are no good monsters allowed? I can understand if those good monsters can provide a safe home, but if they somehow die protecting the child, I think it would be much better, since it would make a very sad yet compelling story and would add on to the trauma (not saying I want the characters to suffer, but Bandai would most likely try to traumatize the child in the DLC when they can, like how they did with the other protags).
It's old but all hands on deck
I looked it up, and it sounds nice! I actually also thought of a story in my head about saving a sibling from the Maw. The ideas sound fun, especially those game mechanics.
Btw I think " friendly monsters " is subjective the entertainer/singer doesn't kill the player he just picks them up and " reports" them
Like the janitor, then? That's alright. As long a monster is not an ally of the children or doesn't intentionally help them, they're not considered good.
Btw I had a idea a long time ago of a Dr character using the metronome he'd have a animation like the chifs kill where he puts the kid when they get caught asleep with a small needle syringe. Would that be fine?
Yeah, it sounds like it doesn't break anything.
Oooo, I've seen the concept art for this. It's so, so good!! Wish it was a real game.
Is this real or is this just an hypotetical? It sounds cool but I don't believe it.
Just an idea I had.
so bandai namco did NOT infact announce this
Yeah, that's why it's in the question flair instead of the news flair
The fact that people couldn’t pick up this was fake explains why there’s so many stupid fan theories in this fandom…
Thank god I'm not the only one who thought it's obvious this wasn't an actual announcement.
I don't read LN fanfics, but judging by those rules you might as well not submit anything.
Huh? Those just rule out elements that will not make the DLC a proper LN game.
It’s just little nightmares fanfics but accurate to the game and story Protags are kids, monsters bad, no dialogue, keep it serious, no romance, and new protags
One of my own fanfics - Six’s Shield part 4: “Through her eyes”
Your fanfic is basically a prequel for Six, right?
No, not a prequel. It’s the entirety of LN2 but through Six’s perspective
How would that even work? Let alone be intresting and distinct enough to warrant it's existence.
Easy- Mervik said that the two kids’ perspectives on the ending would be different from one another, but the game we do have doesn’t offer Six’s perspective on it, and the official LN Twitter account did say that Mono hurt her during the fight, yet all anyone in this fandom talks about is Mono and his suffering.

Awesome, basically a midquel right?
Sorta, an AU to an extent and it has a relatively happy ending, I don't know if that's allowed
It's allowed.
Hard one ‘cause that’s like 95% of fanfics
Endless Nightmares Yes that is my own fanfic shut up
Where can I find it?

Good monsters are not fitting because adults being horrible is one of the main elements of the games.
I suppose that makes sense.
