WTF video games: Megaman starforce Patrick sprigs.
Ok, for anyone who have played the StarForce games, lucky you since I have no idea of where I can get them or if they would work on my old ds. But as of recently, ever since I found out about the game, I fell in love with the game including the characters and the storyline (but more on the characters, the storyline is kind of flat in my opinion). And with one of my personal favorite, I introduce to you the character Patrick Sprigs. However, there are a few things about Patrick that Capcom Should have cleared up or put in more detail at very least. And just about anything that is related to him. Like how did he meet Gemini or why does even have DID? That is what I want to cover.
1) His split personality, Rey: FIRST AND FOREMOST OF WHY THE HECK DOES PATRICK HAVE A SPLIT PERSONALITY?
a) Now let’s get one thing straight: the general definition for dissociative identity disorder (DID) or more commonly known as split personality disorder is that: ‘there are two or more personalities in one person’s conscience.’ And apparently, the known recorded cases for DID, a majority of them have reported either sexual and/or physical abuse. what does this mean for Patrick? Well, let’s look at the facts: he was founded in a DUMP SITE near Dream Park, sometime later on he develops Rey and wants to destroy the world. And the kid’s a fifth grader. meanwhile we get no glimpse of who or how he was being raised. Red flags everywhere!
b) But more specifically, how is it possible that Rey and Patrick even knows that the other even exist and that Rey knows fully well that he himself is just part of Patrick’s psyche? Look at the beginning of this video to see what I mean; Rey and Patrick’s discussion.
c) And on the other hand, for Gemini, why would he try to justify is actions by calling out all the horrors of the world when it’s obvious that he just as happy showing off that he wanted to do it for his own amusement and bring Patrick along with him?
2) Where and for how long did he and Gemini have been together?
a) That will be the question for the ages, but if I remember correctly in the English dub of the anime he said that he actually mastered EM wave change and in the anime and games he is one of the toughest bosses Geo has, so it does imply a long time no doubt.
3) Why did Cepheus revive Gemini and he is still with pat in the second game? a) Maybe he found something in him that showed that he actually cared for Patrick?
4) The Alternate Future’s EM beings have different personalities then their original counterparts, but not Gemini sparks IF.
b) In this dimension, there are no humans –after the Le Mu incident, of course- so this one is iffy, but since Patrick and Rey don’t exist anymore here, how is it that the black and white halves individually have separate personalities and transform into two bodies if one assumes that they are just one sentient EM being? Look at video: MMSF2 dragon ApolloFlame part 3/4
c) Back on the subject at hand, let’s just assume that despite the title having the word ‘Alternate’ in it, it really is a parallel version of the main universe. Meaning that very thing that has happened there is completely different to the one we know of and let’s not forget that none of them even knew that megaman even existed. So if that is the case, wouldn’t it be reasonable to assume that this Gemini is acting of his on his own accord and the one we know and love is hiding something personal?
This is something that I made up a about two years ago about the character analysis Patrick sprigs from the series: Megaman Starforce. How he could have came to be with his split personality of Rey and why Gemini is with him in the first place at the whizzaps of the second game after the first. Or do any of you think I’m overanalyzing it all?
(ps. the video’s link will be added on later after revision) p.s. I will be reviewing this and editing it to make it better and more understanding.
