It's fine to be disappointed about not seeing the Lords, but dear God stop shitting on the DLC because of it. Just because you wanted to see them doesn't mean it was gonna happen. This DLC isn't about the Lords, and it never was. It's about Rose. It's about her journey to accepting her powers, accepting that she's a little weird but that's OKAY and it's worth it because she can do cool things and she has the best dad ever. Overcoming her insecurities, learning to care for herself and know she's worth love because Ethan loves her so fucking much. It's about Rose learning more about herself. It's about Rose getting to talk to her dad, just once. Getting to hear him say "I love you". It's about Rose learning more about the events that led to her father sacrificing himself to save her, which she was apparently never told. It's about Rose gaining confidence in herself, in her abilities. It's about Rose finding a passion to fight back, to survive, to not conform. It was never about the Lords.

ROSE IS SO WONDERFUL AND I WOULD LIKE TO PROTECT HER YOUR HONOR 
ethan guiding her through every obstacle, pointing her in the right direction (when he fuckin launches the shelves of barrels out of the way blurry heart eyes emoji) assisting her in any way he can, HELP
some other wholesome heart-clutching lines: “rest, you okay?”, “stay calm”, “stubborn.”, “you’re safe here”, “watch your step!”, “be careful”
HE STILL GIVES HER AMMO WHEN HES WEAK BUT ITS FOUR LESS THAN LAST TIME LIKE HES STRUGGLING TO MAKE IT IM FUCKIN KJSHKJFDS
the dollhouse tho, very creepy, lovely atmosphere, but also O W
damn rose the struggle with friends is so real :,,,)  
“do you.... resent him?” HELLO IM NOT OKAY THIS MADE ME AUDIBLY “NOOO!” 
tHe FuCkiNg LeTTeR
ethan loves her so much it hurts, literally all of the memories about how he wanted everything to be perfect for her and hnnnNNNNGGGGG
“you’re worthless! nothing! a freak with no friends!” “you have me.” ETHAN FUCKING WINTERS IF YOU DONT STOP MAKING ME SOB MY EYES OUT IM GONNA SUE 
when he finally manifests into that reality!!!! and saves her!!!! how he wanted her to leave so badly at first but knowing how much she wanted to live a normal life made him so determined to help her find that crystal!!! fuck!!!! :,D
“hey sweetie...” me: dies
THEY EXCHANGE I LoV E y OUS
g o d their final moments together, their hug, how she got to thank him for saving her life and protecting her so much and that he got to finally meet her as an adult 
thank you dlc for finally giving the winters family the attention and content they deserve, gorgeous masterpiece with some awesome scares along the way

Ngl I was so happy when Ethan appeared and had his moments with Rose. They were so heartbreaking and yet beautiful, it almost made me cry.

I am having some RE8 DLC thoughts - with a big shout-out to my buddy @danstillcreates who I dragged into this topic with me, which lead to both of us coming up with this together over the course of almost a full hour during a voice call.
(spoiler warning for RE8 + DLC)
Dan & I have both witnessed the DLC in full & agree that it simply feels Empty. That being said, there were concepts that could've been easily built upon & lead to a full spinoff/sequel game with more depth and meaning.
The fact that the Megamycete is housing the memories of anyone who died near it & yet we did not see any memories linked to the Lords is astonishing. We don't even see shadows or hints of them anywhere.
With a game that tries to focus so much on memories & mixed consciousness they could & should've gone so much more weird & deeper with it.
Take this as an opportunity to explore the past of the Lords & how they each ended up with Miranda. Have Rose, who doesn't understand anything about her powers learn from interacting with the consciousness & memories of people who have powers of their own from the same source.
Have it not be black and white, as some of them see their powers as a gift & rebirth, while others resent what it did to them - so Rose still remains with her struggle of not knowing if she should keep her powers or not.
Have Lady D connect to Rose through her need to be loved, let Donna connect with Rose through memories of grief, allow Moreau to speak clearly in his mind & voice his anger & hurt freely... and let Heisenberg connect to Rose through sadly a painfully similar childhood.
Let the Lords each give Rose their jars - both as making her more powerful to be able to fight Miranda & also as an honest apology for what they had all done to her (and Ethan) during the happenings of RE8.
Goddammit- Have Miranda get held back by the Lords & be dragged back down into the subconscious of the Megamycete during the boss battle!! Away from Rose and Ethan!
But most importantly... let Duke be the one who is the one who starts all this. Let him give Rose the choice to find herself & the answers she wants in the Megamycete. Let him be truthful in promising her that if she "loses", she will return safely to the real world with him.
Let Rose have her own little save-room moments with Duke that way. Let Duke tell her more about her Dad while Duke cooks for her to replenish her (mental) health.
All in all... the DLC had so much potential (which probably got stomped into the ground by higher-ups, let's be honest) & now my buddy Dan & I are thinking about everything that could've been.

Just finished watching the full gameplay of Shadows of Rose DLC and wow, it's truly amazing. What I really fell in love with was the father daughter realtionship of Ethan and Rose. It was beautifully well written and as someone who also had never got to meet their father (mine died before I was born) the scenes between Ethan and Rose was more then beautiful. I fought back tears watching their scenes.
Ethan truly is a wonderful father, even if he couldn't be there in person he still watched over Rose and protected her. His love for his daughter, his family is forever everlasting.
Overall I have to say Capcom did a fantastic job with this DLC. The action, intense moments, and scares made for a wonderful experience but at it's core is the bond between father and daughter. Which in my book was something that was beautifully well done.

I didn't know some people were shitting on the dlc just because the lords didn't show up like??? The whole point was about Rose's journey of acceptance and the Winters family conclusion in general, idk what were you expecting

so many people mentioning how Rose is so much like her dad because she’s stubborn, not enough people mentioning how Rose is so much like her dad because she also takes the time to draw silly little sketches in every entry of her journal
