Square Enix released a brand new video today for Life is Strange 2, as they delve into Daniel's Education and what exactly makes him tick. There isn't a ton to this video that you haven't already seen in the game, so no real spoiler territory here. Just more of an explanation as to what's going on to some degree. This video tries to guide you a little bit into how you help him grow and learn as his older brother teaching him things. Enjoy the video and information below, and if you want more in-depth analysis, they have a blog you can check out here.

When Sean and Daniel Diaz have to flee their home in suburban Seattle after the death of their father and manifestation of an incredible supernatural power, the brothers face a life-changing journey, full of danger, excitement, friends, foes and new experiences.

Young and impressionable, but incredibly powerful, Daniel is always watching Sean. Daniel grows and learns from his brother throughout every episode of Life is Strange 2 and can become a very different person depending on your actions. What Daniel learns, and how he grows, determines which of the multiple endings you will experience at the conclusion of their journey.

Your choices and actions as Sean gradually inform and change your younger brother over time, affecting two core values that determine his behaviour and the way he interacts with you – Brotherhood and Morality. This dynamic system determines Daniel's sense of justice, his trust in Sean and the player.

Daniel isn't just affected by the major choices that you make as Sean or the things you try to teach him, but also from your actions as you are playing. This forms the core of an advanced character development system, meant to represent the responsibility of being a role model. Your young companion learns from you at all times, not just when you want him to. Through the first four episodes, there are over 50 moments where your decisions shape the mind of Daniel. You are an example to him in everything you say and do.
