Why does dormin want the Colossi dead?

Wander is killing the Colossi because Dormin told him that he could bring his love to life if he did. The mystic voices are Dormin, the evil god, but only a fraction of him, as he was split into 16 (arguably 17, including the voice that talks to you) fragments.

Is there a connection between the Last Guardian and ICO?

• In that sense, perhaps there's a deeper connection to be made. The Last Guardian is, by Ueda's admission, a combination of his past games, but perhaps it's also an allegory for his journey developing the game. Be that true or not, I'm just relieved to see that the game is still alive, and that Ueda is committed to pursuing his vision.

Is there voice over narration in the Last Guardian?
