So here is my theory

|| DC likely has been around throughout time probably since the ancestors of the world.

Probably and never been recorded as he is very elusive and takes out anyone who defies order or anything the universe declare as law.

maybe it is tolerant with people with time related stuff even perhaps for EP. But it seems also fine with you manifesting puppets to life.

But Renee is different as Dolores wants her to be a real girl. Basically giving her a soul and a body to come to life. Which explains why she was able to grow up. ||

[leaden field]

the story is kinda cool i wish it wasn't so schizo

[wispy zephyr]

oh i for sure agree especially with this being the DC entry

like dolores, ||was pushing the limits of life and death past what is allowed by the world, lowkey would suck if it was just a number thing created one too many pupper people and the world punished with the ledger||

yea the circle is the global term for anomaly agencies, and the BAC has their main headquarters in hethearau

lowkey holding on hope that one day we could get to explore a whole new city, maybe a fringe hope for the evnetual 2.x updates

[storm fractal]

Despite we dont know how much of what “Bella” said is a lie. We do know for sure is Renee was loved even by her siblings

[unreal berry]

So bac is one part of circle right

[storm fractal]

Meanwhile I wish one day we will finally put what we memorize of those ghost train rule’s to use.

Please actually let us ride the train

[wispy zephyr]

yea, the circle refer to anomaly agencies and the BAC is part of the big 5. the principles of the circle is control contain and cognition, the BAC represent control

[storm fractal]

I’d love to actually got killed just because I couldn’t get far away from that one door which shouldn’t be open fast enough /j

[wispy zephyr]

oh I would love to actually be forced to follow the wacky rules in an anomalous zone quest

We can have Miss Levi on the speaker system for people who can’t manage to remember the rules

[storm fractal]

SAME I ACTUALLY LOVE THE GHOST TRAIN’S RULES

They have so much potential over how we could actually get lost in some anomalous realm

The horror on encounter some “fake train manager”

[wispy zephyr]

The ghost train being something so normal to every day life yet so strange and dangerous is the kind of paranormal I love

[wispy zephyr]

I need to be fooled by a fake Miss Levi so bad

[storm fractal]

Reading some file there on someone reports seeing a figure phased through wall and get replied with “just pretend that never happen” I love it so muchh

[wispy zephyr]

also im curious about what exactly mr bag is, cause he mentioned seeing anomilies as a friend, but is he not also an anomaly himself? actually i need to refresh my knowledge from the taygedo recertifying his ID

[violet burrow]

he is a anomoly, he just doesnt like to say he is.

[wispy zephyr]

okay that makes sense

[storm fractal]

He probably meant how some anomalies has sentient and some dont? Taygedo can get an ID cuz he a friendly oddity with harmless ability

Some like the black one with Sakiri would have failed despite has the ability to speak

[violet burrow]

nah somewhere it mentions that mr bag just doesnt like to consider himself a anomoly

by one of the other anomolies im pretty sure

[storm fractal]

Ohhh

[wispy zephyr]

oh, i spaced tf out during a quest or two so it makes sense to me

[storm fractal]

But also, anyone got exactly what Puff meant when he said his friend is in the refrigerator??

“Refrigerator”…such a weird word for “coffin” so what’s exactly is his friend that been dead?

[regal wadi]

sonion

[dense cosmos]

The fact its Canon that someone eaten Puff's butt

[storm fractal]

Well, he did sneaked us his armpit hair…

[dense cosmos]

And the fact the main character eaten wig

The real Anomaly was definitely wondering how the waiter didn't get the boot

[untold cedar]

or that if someone eats snow, there's a chance it could taste like durian

[storm fractal]

Also that damn paper plane pushed my Baicang off the rooftop right after Puff’s quest 💀

[dense cosmos]

That's what he gets slacking

[dense cosmos]

I can't fir year 5 where Taygo sacrifices himself by throwing himself at some Anomaly that is threat level 10

[gentle plinth]

I miss puff

[dense cosmos]

Same

[weak monolith]

happens a lot it's almost annoying

[full moon]

where can we meet rabi again bro😭

[untold cedar]

both Alice and her arent there yeah, but the cake at least is in the shop

[high plinth]

could be a medically induced hypothermic coma

doesn't have to be a physical refrigerator, just the fact that the friend needs to be colder

[obtuse ember]

First time doing prison and it feels like the Prison is something similar to the Truman show.

If those notes on the library are anything to go by

[high plinth]

could be similar to the gold apple heist

just that the prisoners are being made to think it's real

keep mansplaining shit to us queen

[tame marten]

i'd imagine zankdou being a playable char and mc gave her affection be like:
"Oh? For me? Why thank you." stuff like that

[main plank]

Yeah rn it's hard to imagine Zero giving Zankou gifts or inviting her over or dating her... which makes it all the better if the story manages to pull it off

[wide ridge]

^

[tame marten]

if hoppa could pull a good story on whether redeeming her or not, i agree

[untold cedar]

it checks out, as in Prison the map is jammed like in an anomaly and as soon as you get out you get back everything

they mention that they use anomaly tech there too as one of the Containment branches

[torpid oak]

Just finished ep.4. It was pretty good. Love Renee as a character, and she likes to drive. Now I have a favorite side character.

[high plinth]

i need her to be constantly trying to recruit us to the dark side

and zero just takes it as a joke or dismisses it in a goofy manner

[tame marten]

Knowing how Zero act around Baiceng, this feels something they would do lol

[gray pilot]

I think almost everyone not from eibon does that anyway xD

[main plank]

? We're talking about Zankou here, she's pretty dangerous

[gray pilot]

I mean everyone is already trying to fish Zero out of Eibon anyway

[main plank]

oh, yeah, I see what you were getting at
Zankou joins the long line of people trying to recruit Zero

I thought you were saying everyone takes Zankou's stuff as a joke

[gray pilot]

Ah i see... Yeah, i quote not the entire sentence... But still Zero pretty much dismisses them in any manner including goofy ones

[dull oyster]

Y'now zero might be be the most talkative and lively MC in gacha...

I mean I could be Wrong I don't play that many gachas

[main plank]

I think Belle/Wise from ZZZ probably take that title

[gray pilot]

Definitely ZZZ Belle is

[zinc goblet]

this is smth that is making me curious

like she looks 100% playable bc yk big booba, but from the point of view we have rn it does not make sense

but thats not smth new gachas turning bosses into playable characters, but hoping they pull it of well

[zinc goblet]

yeah ngl both belle and wise fell like real characters than just self inserts, i had this feeling in many gachas and i think nte makes zero an main character rather than just a self insert

and they are way more expressive than zero, but like nte is on the right path i would say

[dull oyster]

Hmm.. yeah I guess you're right.

[zinc goblet]

im curious about zero character development from now on, and ngl i hope they dont give him a power up in every minor inconvenience

[gray pilot]

I mean her instant esper cycling is pretty op imo

[zinc goblet]

ah this is mechanics aside like i think thats a different territory tbh

[high plinth]

isn't zero's ability just appraisal? "zeroth sense" or whatever it's called

[dull oyster]

As long as they don't turn out to be another god and like "the original anonaly" or some prophetic legend then I'll be satisfied...

How likely that that would be exactly what will happen?

[high plinth]

so far, pretty much, no indication that that is what's going to happen?

[proud mesa]

Guys i am a new player and just want to know one thing

Is the story really good?

[high plinth]

it's a good 7/10

[zinc goblet]

the main story and the characters profile lore kept me going trough, considering this is 1.0 lore that normally gachas tend to make it pretty buns this is really nice

[main plank]

There are strong story quests and weak ones. The best one imo is the final main story quest. Since things end on a high note, I'd say the story is overall good, and its future looks promising.

[main plank]

btw you should probably stay out of this channel until you've finished all the main story... here there be spoilers

[zinc goblet]

yeah like we know there is smth strange is that on the weithermeir index we are rated 0, and thats smth odd since only normal objects are rated like this but we are an esper yk?

[dull oyster]

I say if you like a more mellow, or mundane, or slice of life story then this one is great.. as of now at least, who knows how it will change later.

Its in a episodic format type of story, the MQ are literally called "episodes"

[zinc goblet]

and theres the thing of "not knowing where we are from" that could lead to a lot soo

[high plinth]

we are an esper. There is an anomaly rated 0 and it's the hypervortex

there is a likely relation between esper 0 and anomaly 0 but so far it's unknown what it is

[zinc goblet]

sht i gotta open the game again

[main plank]

Obviously, things will need to change quite a bit before Zankou is ready to join the crew. But I think we can predict that Madam T will be the real, ultimate, non-redeemed villain, given what we know about her from Daffodill's profile. (If you want to make a villain feel less evil, introduce a new one who makes them look nice in comparison.)

Beyond that, Zankou's big connections are to her former "sister" Daffodill, and perhaps to the other members of Scarlet Letter, such as the girl from the auction house quest. The connection to Daffodill might end up moving her away from the Scarlet Letter... assuming her attitude toward Daffodill changes from its current state of "murderous hatred". Or perhaps, after Madam T is overthrown, the Scarlet Letter becomes an allied faction.

[high plinth]

madam t betrays zankou when she outlives her usefulness or finally finds a moral barrier she wont cross (maybe killing children) which prompts her to in turn try and kill madame t

etc etc

[junior hound]

JTF = BAC ?

[high plinth]

no

JTF is the civilian ground work department of BAC

[junior hound]

so they are a part of BAC
what about CSU?

[high plinth]

regular affairs typa shi

[high plinth]

department of BAC dedicated to more dangerous threats

[junior hound]

and ETD?

[high plinth]

BAC specops basically

[junior hound]

a what

[high plinth]

special operations

very elite and experienced espers for when you have a very dangerous anomaly

[junior hound]

so JTF is like police
CSU is dangerous police
ETD special forces

[high plinth]

more or less

remember that new heatherau alr has its own police that cooperates with JTF but yes

[junior hound]

which organization is the police called

[high plinth]

CPSU or something like that? idk

[zinc goblet]

i could be crazy, but the hyper vortex is actually rated smth, and then we have "Code zero" who is this unidentified anomaly who cannot be perceived by the weithermer index and appeared alongside the hyper vortex, and both us and this "Code Zero" anomaly have the same 0 reading on the index even tho we exist and have correlation whit esper stff

mb if im being dumb and missed smth bc i fell like i did

[high plinth]

could be

[zinc goblet]

this ones are from JTF and CSU, etd one is longer but basically its the Swat of the BAC you could say

[high plinth]

remember that police departments aren't like organizations, every city organically has a police department

unless we're talking about poopy little villages that need actives transferred from other cities, the national police or gendarmerie

[zinc goblet]

the ETD are normally start whit 2 members, and they expand to 4, and all of them normally have some kind of sinergie or theme going on, they normally are tailored to deal whit smth in specifc, if im not mistaken ETD-6 for example if or meme anomalies

[high plinth]

yup but at the same time most ETD teams are assigned to specific cities, 4 out of 6 are assigned to cities outside of new hethereau while 2 are left at BAC HQ

[zinc goblet]

yeah yeah its 2 per city, for example on Hethereau we have ETD-6 And 4

wait what i got it wrong then mb

no wait i did?

[high plinth]

maybe i got it wrong lmao youre the one with the game open

you tell me

[zinc goblet]

oh yeah i didnt lol its really etd4 and 6 that stay on hethereau

[high plinth]

does each city get 2 or is it only BAC HQ that gets 2

[zinc goblet]

i didnt find anything about etd-6 but since its the other squad that we work whit on the story makes sense that its the other squad, its not mentioned they came from afar or smth like it

[high plinth]

yeah ig we dont know yet

[zinc goblet]

yep

[high plinth]

something i find funny is that ETD is a division split into squads

when normally a division is split into regiments which are split into battalions which are split into companies which are split into platoons which are then split into squads

[zinc goblet]

OH DANG THATS A LOT LOL

they prob simplified stff lol

prob its bc ETD is not that big

[high plinth]

i think ETD sounds much cooler than ETP

[zinc goblet]

like alphard for example had to went after a lot of people to make the squads, even getting as far of taking fadia out of the prsion to finish the etd4 squad

[high plinth]

i'd like to know how CSU's are organized because minto is from CSU-6

funny thing is we're 100% learning about this because hotta loves giving us rinky little quests where npcs yap about this kinda stuff

[zinc goblet]

yeah like kinda all the info i got is from chars profiles (most of it )

there is a lot of stff over there and dang skia has dope lore

tf u mean "nya-choo" mint?

[high plinth]

CSU-2 not CSU-6 dam

[high plinth]

her dumb anima esper

is like a bunch of wind stuff

whoever named the ability was in a funny mood

[zinc goblet]

yeah ik just didnt thinked the name would be soo dumb but it fits here really well

specially whit this longass ahoge she has

[high plinth]

i wonder why the dumb name fits her

[honest ferry]

They really need to make pawn moonlight chapter 2 instead of taygedo's date

[high plinth]

taygedo's date is relevant for the lore

they HAD to mention that "we didn't find information on tako in any database "

[zinc goblet]

ah like taygedos quest inst that buns like, we see hes not a bad guy but he fumbled yk people do that, and it shows a lot about the other eibon characters too

(and how adler is the ultimate goat)

i think its crazy that people call taygedo a mascot when its an actual character, like its not the game logo, the game is not trying to "overpush" him i would say, bc all of its quest its a way to show how civilian oddieties deal whit the world overall and idk im trying to defend my guy

i like him, hes funny, he fumbles, he learns, and he is trying to fit in a human society bc if he dont, he will get nullified

[high plinth]

to be fair

people call him a mascot because he pretty much is one. He isn't the game's mascot but he's basically Eibon's mascot

im joking but iirc people are sick of him because of his prominance in having an entire MSQ for himself and then having prominence in lacrimosa's spinoff

[zinc goblet]

yeah i see that its fair

aah myy bouy they are slaughtering him aaah

[high plinth]

you start the story quest and it's fine and all but then you suddenly have to slog through a whole load of taygedo content

[honest ferry]

I like him too, and what you said here describes how i feel about him too, i think the hate he gets is kinda forced tbh.
however i just think that his date quest should not be chapter 2, because the thing is if you go to chapter 3 without doing any spinoff quests, you will miss out on some very important context, because the characters mention an event that happened on the pawn moonlight quest.
Which makes me believe pawn moonlight was supposed to be chapter 2 early in development but they changed it for whatever reason

[zinc goblet]

yeah yeah 100% agreed

[high plinth]

pawn moonlight makes a lot more sense to be MSQ2 than goddang taygedo's date

introduced to 2 characters that will probably be important later on
introduced a lot more indepth to a thing anomalies can do
you're doing another full anomaly comission with the gang™

[gray pilot]

Kitty martial arts perhaps? Like bruce lee wachow xD

[zinc goblet]

OH dang that makes sense lol

[high plinth]

isn't it more like "a-choo" regarding the fact that she can summon wind bursts, storms, tornados, etc

[zinc goblet]

kinda like i see that too but idk mint is pretty delusional whit hyper atacks and stff soo it makes sense to her naming her abillity after some kinda of reference like this

for example her duper hyper 360 slash thats she does while containing the painting anomaly on tha start of the game

[eternal river]

I really hope they are not trying to sell Taygedo too hard. I don't mind Taygedo involvement like in Lacrimose quest line, but there can be too much of Taygedo too

I guess it's more of a balance between cringe and funny, if they go too much into cringe it doesn't go well

[gray pilot]

The big lunk of a head tho

Im not a fan of it

[eternal river]

😭 yeah, his visuals suck

[elder crystal]

You guys think we'll have a main story about depressing anomalies? As oppose to just... these slice of life stories after the photograph anomaly

[elder crystal]

Who the fuck like Taygedo

Beta testers said they hated him

And they gave him a main story quest of him faking to look good

[high plinth]

Have you played many side quests

[elder crystal]

'Main story'

[eternal river]

He is ok. Just needs some trimming around the waist and not be a mascot gag outlet all the time, just make him more of a person

[elder crystal]

I did play through side quests, lacrimosa anomaly was depressing

I fucking hate the hospital anomaly doe

Shit is creepy until you keep being caught by the entity

And its so bullshit

I don't get whats the thing behind the school anomaly doe, if anyone can explain

Apparently the shadows are scp-173?

Or weeping angel

[high plinth]

You mean doomscrolling?

The wood puppets are also similar

Oh my god dude why are these so common 😭

<@&1224197309919920159>

[eternal river]

devs don't know how to setup a simple discord server with roles 😭

[vale beacon]

Problem is even some account with roles can get hacked if the users fall for these scams

[eternal river]

good point

[zinc goblet]

what happend?

[high plinth]

Mr beast hack

[dull oyster]

I don't get the taygedo hate? I mean sure I won't say I love him or anything but his not as bad as Paimon.

For the lacrimosa quest... His fine? I mean I sure got frightened when we woke up to him standing beside our bed.. though I was also doing thT part at night..

His date quest was hilarious and I enjoyed it tbh... Though the 3 kids antics carried that for me but still...

[eternal river]

He is as bad as Paimon 🥀

[zinc goblet]

oh dang that again

[dull oyster]

Eh idk, he doesn't accompany us the whole story

[zinc goblet]

eeeh i dont think soo, paimon is way more annoying and transforms the traveler in some lame self insert lego game protagonist

[eternal river]

I guess it's just personal sensibilities. I find his TV instead of head creepy in an uncanny valley way. Don't usually pay attention to that, but sometimes I do. Plus I generally associate TV set with bullshit, so I guess I have some background negative bias too. So small things add up

[zinc goblet]

oooh ok dang thats rough, but honestly personal opnions everyone has them, it just gets annoying when everyone in the planet says they hate x thing for no good reason bc taygedo gets it rough from the entire comunity, not saying u dont have, but generally a lot of people just get on the hate train for the sake of hating on smth

[storm fractal]

Oh oof that’s tough. Reminder to clean your device from virus especially if you went into some sketchy web a few years ago.

[eternal river]

The hate will subside as time goes on and people get used to him. Plus, devs might scale down his involvement in story in further patches. Maybe also they will upgrade his visuals (unlikely but possible, his visuals are definitely a bit imbalanced in multiple ways) eventually

[burnt pagoda]

Beside the intro and possibly the ending of the ||auction|| quest, do we have a game story quests or just "Taygedo is annoying" quests and "Eibons joyful family" quests?

[zinc goblet]

[vale beacon]

There are spin offs that introduces other characters

[zinc goblet]

crazy timing ngl

[eternal river]

Tbh, Hotta definitely has a knack for strange mascots. Though I liked a mascot from ToF way better (honestly, a stuttering mascot was a first)

[zinc goblet]

there's the baicang quest idk if u done that

[burnt pagoda]

Not yet, thats why Im asking if there are any story quests (that push the lore foreward or tell something deeper about worldbuilding) or just "story" quests with less dynamic than a run of the mill slice-of-life anime

[quaint cliff]

chapter 4

[burnt pagoda]

Dont get me wrong, Im not hating the game for that. Btw, still better than AK:Endfield lore

[storm fractal]

Am I one of the few actually likes Tay’s design just because how tacky he is?? He looks weird, which fit into being anomaly. Have only cute design for mascot is just boring

[quaint cliff]

i like him too

[eternal river]

this game is positioned to be mostly slice-of-life anime tbh so probably shouldn't expect it not to be the prevalent theme. Though, the story does get darker and better in the latest available chapter (if you dig a bit)

[burnt pagoda]

There are so many anomalies that are way more likeable. Barracuda, Mr. Bag, Rabbi...

[storm fractal]

Rabi is a cute anomaly, like pom pom from HSR so despite likeable design isn’t that stand out

[quaint cliff]

Puff the snowman and Frizzle

[gray pilot]

Barracuda and Puff has the best design

[storm fractal]

I like Barra just purely of my bias with gsgw story lol

[burnt pagoda]

Fair. I hope tho there will be something going foreward with the questions showed at the beginning. (Who is Zero, who is the angel guy, why the anomaly in that city without warning)

[eternal river]

Thanks god Puff is not a mascot either. I swear, if he returns, he better have mintchoco ice cream under his armpits this time around

[gray pilot]

Im not fond of Taygedos big tv head

[storm fractal]

Idk, chocolate is good too

[gray pilot]

Do not lick the snowman

[quaint cliff]

care for durian flavor?

[eternal river]

too much gyatt

[storm fractal]

He already got his butt eaten, he will be fine with a few lick 😂

[zinc goblet]

https://giphy.com/gifs/marvel-comics-dap-mvsc-C6tYHwQLc2sxQmEcpN

[eternal river]

The storywriter better have 140 IQ to have these bouts of a weird ass humor Less intelligent species shouldn't be allowed to wield such sense of humor

[burnt pagoda]

Honestly, I dont like Taygedo because its just an annoying child. Nanally is basicaly a chuunibyou or however you write that word, so she can get annoying, but its a single trait. I know some people like young children no matter how annoying they are but still, Eibon is not an antique store. Its a damn kindergarden

[storm fractal]

The gramophone flower thing anomaly can be a good unique mascot too

[storm fractal]

Yeah that’s fair. Tay is annoying child

[burnt pagoda]

The Rabba-Rabba is a nice piece of worldbuilding. I doubt it would make a good mascot, but it is something that makes the worldbuilding better just by being there

[eternal river]

Hotori can't wake up in the morning, so she adopted 3 alarm clocks

[main plank]

There's a main story quest after the auction quest. It unlocks at hunter level 24

[burnt pagoda]

I would say 4, but Edgar IS quite likeable for a change of pace

[storm fractal]

Edgar is a quiet child so he isn’t an alarm clock

[quaint cliff]

how can u dislike ichi-daime of the Colucci family

[burnt pagoda]

I dont dislike her, although I dont like her either. Her obsession with Italian mafia is basicaly her only character trait

[eternal river]

guess if you play with English VA (not to disparage any VAs)

but maybe authors should have written that WHATS THAT SMELL line a bit differently

[quaint cliff]

smells amazing

[zinc goblet]

akane quest

[storm fractal]

I don’t use Nanally to glide cuz of that line. Baicang’s one is more tolerable 💀

[main plank]

I think there's a legit problem with some characters feeling one-dimensional... Taygedo is the most infamous example but sadly there are others (I would include Fadia as one)

[dense cosmos]

WHAT'S THAT SMELL?! SMMMEEELLLSS AMAZING

Get it out of my head!!

[eternal river]

devs missed an opportunity to make Nanally a TAIGA

https://tenor.com/view/taiga-taiga-aisaka-toradora-ami-ami-kawashima-gif-2058077418857918475

[storm fractal]

A lot of them is one-dimension except Baicang ofc tho I hope that is because they will be recurring chars and will have more to show down the line

[quaint cliff]

the atmosphere scents of Hethereau might just be THAT good who knows

[eternal river]

small? check Angy? check Taiga? Check

[burnt pagoda]

Hmm, I think she's too young to develop Taiga's character, but I somewhat agree

[dense cosmos]

Minus the fact there is a Arc workshop spewing whatever it is in the atmosphere

[burnt pagoda]

Yeah, the only thing thats not one-dimensional about most characters is jiggle physics

[burnt pagoda]

Its horse glue

[dense cosmos]

She itself feel one dimensional but at least gives me at least some interest since she seems to have been part of a religious cult and is protective of Tomato Dummy.

[zinc goblet]

i think the main difference about her and taiga is that nanally is delusional i would say? idk if its the right word but everything she wants to be the best and doing that for the sake of the family is just an excuse, but overall she is a kid still and that shows on chapter for whit daffodil, as showed on the 1.1 livestream banner that will happen nanally is there, soo i think we can expect more of her

[eternal river]

that's Hoyo storytelling imo. Popularized making characters 1-dimensional at least on the facade.

[quaint cliff]

hotori doesn’t feel one dimensional to me

[main plank]

BTW have you hit hunter level 24 and done the quest that unlocks? If not, it would probably be best to stay out of this channel until then, so you don't get spoiled

[dense cosmos]

She is just drunk mom

[zinc goblet]

hmm idk i dont feel like this for a lot of characters, and i went after everyone profiles whit the expection of mint

[eternal river]

that's hyperphantasia for you, not delusional, just too engrossed in their own fantasies

[zinc goblet]

oh yeah thats the right word thx

[burnt pagoda]

I havent yet done the quest but usually I can see when a spoilers coming and just not read it

[main plank]

Yeah I think Hotori is legit the best character so far... I have high hopes for a certain other character but we'll have to wait to see how well they're developed

[quaint cliff]

a deadbeat one tbf, adler is doing all the jobs

[eternal river]

well, one has hope devs will develop the main cast of characters. Kids deffo have a room for growth

[storm fractal]

My goat Adler needs a vacation

[eternal river]

Adler be like: Say nay to vacay

[zinc goblet]

idk the sterry quest and the correlation whit daffodil makes me strongly disagree

[quaint cliff]

Alois V. Adler at your service

[zinc goblet]

adler and his sunyas cant take it anymore 😭 😭 😭

[burnt pagoda]

Yeah, I hope at least the blue dice characters get more deep with more content (Hathor needs more bond interactions...)

[dense cosmos]

Yah know I find it interesting how heavily Desires is a theme in this game especially some anomalies are born through Desires.

I wonder if a certain endless Void was likely born through that Desire birthing a Anomaly.

Since we humans are actually quite powerful that we can will anomalies into existence even through rumors, time, fear, and hate.

Especially how Jusitice Executioner seems to exist due to the tired and stresses how civilians life. Like a form of hate yet justice. Like a punishment.

Hell even the Whiskers are from that realm so they are basically the lesser variants or the watchful ones.

I find it very frightening how one Anomaly can be born like Tomato Devil.

Like very quickly as well due to rumors and hate

[zinc goblet]

same but we can see that prob will be the case, aurelia for example can go only to bond level 2, and it says they will add this feature on the future, prob after akane launches bc both of the characters have strong correlation, soo that could be expected to other characters too

[storm fractal]

No wonder ETDs constantly on the job

[quaint cliff]

is akane even a esper

[zinc goblet]

i am pretty sad that both hathor and baicang got no skins too

[eternal river]

good good, ppl need to understand the negative side of rumormongering more

[zinc goblet]

yes she is, she was from the Lines that was her old band, that was both band and anomaly hunting group

[storm fractal]

If Baicang get a skin I hope it’s some tacky ahh wear like the Hawaiian shirt

[burnt pagoda]

Akane will be playable?

[zinc goblet]

this but pajamas pls

[dense cosmos]

I mean they were trying to tell people to shut up about rumors during the puppet quest probably to prevent another Anomaly being born due to rumors

[quaint cliff]

baicang seems pretty free to me, dude just chilling everywhere in the city

[eternal river]

You are not required to be an esper to work in an anomaly hunting group.

[quaint cliff]

not to mention he’s a captain

[storm fractal]

He was slacking off so…it isn’t that he has no schedule but he dipped from it

[dense cosmos]

One thing I'll mention when the Captain Locks in he locks in

And roasts too

[zinc goblet]

yk i think its just kinda crazy they make two models of her, casual and "normal" one, an entire quest alongisde strong correlations whit playable characters just in the end after this GIANT foreshadowing to not be playable in the end soo yeah i think she will, specially bc aurelia is too and she was from Lines

[eternal river]

She probably will, though I expect her to GET an Esper ability somewhere along the way

[zinc goblet]

i could be wrong but for me at least all of those are BIG pointers that she will, but i could be wrong

[quaint cliff]

somehow managed to progress his mission while slacking off

[storm fractal]

He’s just that guy

[zinc goblet]

honestly i think she has one but just didnt showed it

[dense cosmos]

And then throw a tantrum which means "he is okay"

[eternal river]

nah, the guy is way more shrewd than he lets on. He just dislikes doggo (or more like their characters rub in a wrong way), which is why he chose MC

[quaint cliff]

baicang is definitely gay

his chemistry w the male mc js too strong, he might turn me gay for him too

[storm fractal]

Brother came from a noble family I have no doubt he has some shrewd himself. He just use the slacking off as a front I bet

[dense cosmos]

Well as a co-worker mentioned "Skia is the only Normal person in a group of Weirdos."

So he is basically like a strict Dad

[zinc goblet]

naah i think guy is just lazy lol KSAKSAKSAKKSAKSA
what i read from his profile tends to lead me to that

[storm fractal]

Lazy but definitely knows a lot

[quaint cliff]

lemme see, ex criminal, tomato jelly addict, gojo satoru and a furry

[zinc goblet]

like etd for has a kid, a deranged woman who is clinically insane, a dog, and baicang, of the most reliable one is the dog

[eternal river]

So far, the general theme of Esper Cycle is a strong wish. And for the most part Akane lost her wish, until the end of SQ. I would say, at this point she doesn't look like a person who is supposed to have an esper ability at this point in the story

[zinc goblet]

fair

[high plinth]

Every male gacha character is gay before the opposite is demonstrated

[dense cosmos]

The fact that the fucking Fursuit is the most Sane and Normal

Also good to know Fursuiters exist in NTE

[storm fractal]

Idk Adler has a lot of straight vibe to me

[dense cosmos]

Adler is pretty much just a Butler personality.

[quaint cliff]

and a single dad of 3

[dense cosmos]

We need a Father's update for Adler and Skia. Being a dad must be a nightmare for them.

[storm fractal]

4 more like…6? If you include in those two anomaly

[zinc goblet]

Skia lore is crazy, but he was just an office worker at leon international, and after 5 years he awakens hes powers and the price he paid for the esper abillity was the dog appearance, then he left hes job bc he was reliable and one of the best over there, but after the change no one took him seriusly, got involved whit a gang, left and joined the bac and is working for 20 years over there, and is one of the persons behind fadias arrest, thats why they hate eachother a lot

[zinc goblet]

i think its mad funny that all of hes five sunyas/deers help him to take care of eibon lol

[quaint cliff]

it is mentioned that he ages a lot recently due to stress, which we can assume the causes

[eternal river]

hopefully, Hotori wouldn't ever ask Adler to go buy milk for her sake (as in liquor)

[zinc goblet]

she has daffodil for that lol

[burnt pagoda]

Well, Daffodill seems to somewhat help, so just a father of 6 (The trio, Taygedo, Sakiri's glutton and tye Alcoboss)

[dense cosmos]

It's interesting how they like to add real world issues into this game. From Bagel Rumor bullying to backstories of people dealing with trauma and straight up work abuse.

[quaint cliff]

count in Zero too

[burnt pagoda]

Nah, Zero seems pretty independent

[storm fractal]

Dont forget capitalism. There’s one bank owner sticking like a sore thumb

[eternal river]

ffs, where is the Adler-maid pic when you need it

[dense cosmos]

Also... DAMN YOU DEVS FOR THIS QUEST.

Same, it forever sitting in my inv

[zinc goblet]

they did it again. . . WHYYY

[eternal river]

but that would make Frizzle sad 😭

[quaint cliff]

at least he knew people loves his fries

[zinc goblet]

noo NOO HE HAS A POINT but thats everything left from him ooh my god

[storm fractal]

I keep it to remember him by

[eternal river]

now you are required to order fries and eat them

[zinc goblet]

its crazy how its just normal fries instead of an actual collectible i think this is just diabolical

[dense cosmos]

They even said "yea why won't we eat them watch as their new fry friend nullified itself in front of them"

[quaint cliff]

Frizzle and Puff will be back in doomsday guys

[eternal river]

imagine if you choose icecream fries dip sauce and it turns out it has durian taste 🥀

[dense cosmos]

Oddities Anomalies are really having it rough man

[storm fractal]

This means both Nacupeda and Tay can be nullified like Puff and Frizzle as well?

[quaint cliff]

“it’s a promise then”

[eternal river]

Tay only nullifies when he fixes Hotori, which is never

[quaint cliff]

they can be if their wishes and purposes are fulfilled

[burnt pagoda]

Every anomaly can be nullified

[zinc goblet]

HE STRAIGHT UP BECAME GOLDEN PARTICLES I COULD'NT BELIVE MY EYES, when i had to left to get smth he asked for i came back blasting thinking he would've disspeared, and then they did it

[eternal river]

this is memeworthy. Replace ppl with Frizzle and fries

[zinc goblet]

LOOK AT HIM LOOOK AT HIM 😭

[storm fractal]

THE WAY HE THOUGHT YOU DIPPED AND LEFT HIM ALONE 😭

[dense cosmos]

My buddies watched me through share play. I was yelling at the top of my lungs while I watch him vanished.

[eternal river]

Imagine doing this quest along the Puff. When you dip to finish Puff's quest first 💀

[zinc goblet]

FRIIIZLEEEEEE

[quaint cliff]

i shed tears abit, i thought he was just leaving the city to countryside or smth, and boom, straight up vanished

[storm fractal]

A double whammy oof

[near glade]

Nte really made peak sad stories

[zinc goblet]

i did them in sequence holy sht i was on the floor man ooh god

[dense cosmos]

For a fucking French Fry Anomaly

[near glade]

[zinc goblet]

and we all cried

[storm fractal]

It’s worse when the French fry anomaly shaped like a doggo

[quaint cliff]

i did frizzle quest and went to puff right after

[near glade]

Bro

[storm fractal]

My condolences, you got hit with the double whammy

[zinc goblet]

same 😭 😭

[eternal river]

I don't cry for games anymore, since I played Fallout 2 as a kid 🥀

[quaint cliff]

in a span of abt 1hr i watched as 2 lovely anomalies vanished right in front of my eyes

[near glade]

Seems i should do those quest. Havent done them yet

Why could anomalies vanish?

[storm fractal]

The moment I got mint chat I pulled a mad dash over to Puff’s place. Man 😭 😭 😭

[dense cosmos]

Either they got what they wanted or they served their purpose.

[near glade]

Rip French Fry

Does that apply to Tagyedo?

[eternal river]

All MC had to do is to turn that durian ass into a meme, and he would live 🥀

[dense cosmos]

"Alright guys this is just a side quest about Feench Fries"

[dense cosmos]

Nah he will get his moment. Likely the joke character that will sacrifice himself.

[storm fractal]

Atp Tay’s nullified is purely something to do with Eibon. He did considering that place is his home and family

[eternal river]

At this point I am more interested in who is Puff's friend. I would say it should be pretty expensive to get admitted into an anabiosis facility

[quaint cliff]

likely wld be an esper who will have a role in the story

[storm fractal]

Also I want to know who the ghost in “Miles Apart” too. Thought that was her mom but then lightbulb guy said nah

[eternal river]

I kinda expect it to be a member of an old family, because bros got admitted to a Dvorak wedding wtf

[dense cosmos]

Um I am sorry but his name is TUNGSTEN

But yea the fact he said "lmao nah that's a another entity."

[eternal river]

well, at least not Wolfram. Can't have Math engine as a daughter

[dense cosmos]

Going to be frank I hate childhood Patty. I wanted to get the belt.

[quaint cliff]

he seemingly went in uninvited

[storm fractal]

She probably got the attitude cuz the home kinda implied that her mom already ded. Pretty valid for a child tho

[dense cosmos]

Probably explains why the neighborhood looks abandon. That's probably based on how she felt

But infind it odd those Lamp anomalies are there. Like specifically there no other anomalies

Even through the ending

[storm fractal]

Even the house looks rundown and a lot of things broken, even the teddy bear that you have to patched up

[storm fractal]

I got jump scared while switching back and front during the flower shop. Didn’t expected to get jumped by anomalies during the abandoned timeline lmao

[dense cosmos]

Also I do hope we encounter Patty one day.

[quaint cliff]

what abt clarion

[storm fractal]

The end of the quest Zero did said they has a few questions and Tungsten told them to talk about it with the real Patty so I hope

[dense cosmos]

Yo patty why the fuck are there evil ass Anomlies in your past.

[storm fractal]

I’m interested on that sole person who like that story

[quaint cliff]

probably clarion himself

only thing i like abt it was zero aura farming

[storm fractal]

He wouldnt like his own bad end considering how deep he fell in the ending

[storm fractal]

Zero straight up disappointed and has no more hope left for that man 😭 😭

[quaint cliff]

its crazy how he was so cold hearted that he straight up sliced clarion face

[storm fractal]

Zero really did not want to see that face again

[fading sundial]

Eh, I'm sure there's someone who likes it.

I'm here for the slice of life stuff, not the grim and dark things.

A story like that is probably comforting to someone in some way.

[dense cosmos]

I'm all for grimdark. But it's interesting that there are grimdark things the can happen

Problem is if writers rely on grimdark only is not gonna make stories interesting.

I can tell as a warhammer fan. There are weirdos that get mad when the stories is not grimdark. As if it's like "that's so me I am.so cool I know he feels"

Like bro no you don't.

Grimdark can be a good set piece if done right instead of appealing someone's edgy ego.

[eternal river]

Hey, it's me. Tbh, I wouldn't get mad if grimdark wasn't better storywriting on average

and slice of life wasn't worse storywriting on average

For that matter, peak slice of life does hold the bar

[dense cosmos]

Let's be honest better than those "I got reincarnated as [blank] and thise chick has huge honkerbadonkers and I get a harem

What we gonna get next I got reincarnated as a toilet?

[eternal river]

I got reincarnated as a discord chatter

[dense cosmos]

I got reincarnated as a Discord NTE-Chat chatter

[eternal river]

my condolences

[dense cosmos]

What a time

[hardy kernel]

It's kinda frustrating that some of these anomolies dont have some sort of story leading up to them. I was just seeking out the nestbound bird just because I needed its drops but it feel slike a really powerful story could and should have led up to the encounter. Especially with Hatori stepping in mid fight.

Even the response you give makes it sounds like the MC was responding to a child that went missing

[eternal river]

it's a tease, don't mind it. We might get an explanation eventually. Or won't. Make up your own explanation, you have head for a reason

If there was a story leading to it, Hotori's appearance wouldn't be so surprising

[quaint cliff]

showed up just for pure aura

[eternal river]

I do agree with you, there is big story potential there.

[quaint cliff]

it’s only 1.0 so there many things to uncover, relax

[eternal river]

But I think anything Hotori is like a major story spoiler

[hardy kernel]

I'm being told a story. Telling me to just make it up instead of being told the story is rather odd logic. This isnt even the only case. There have been several powerful anomolies that you just kinda stumble across. seem to have story and its just weird.

[main plank]

There sort of is a story behind it, it's just a bunch of text in the anomaly file though

[hardy kernel]

Yes Ive read the file.

[eternal river]

no, it's not odd. Stories are told for you to make your own interpretation of it. The more instruments to tell the story you acknowledge the better you will be on the receiving end

[hardy kernel]

Mysteries to be uncovered in the future is fine and cool. The big explosion at the top of the skyscraper I'm very curious about. However trying to do the story and explaination after we fight the Boss is putting the cart before the horse.

[quaint cliff]

fair enough

[hardy kernel]

ITs like only being allowed to watch the final climatic scene of a movie and then being told to make the rest of it up based on the teaser on the back of the box.

[eternal river]

The best stories do just that. Only few can pull that off unfortunately

[quaint cliff]

havent heard of souls games have u

[warped violet]

|| ||

|| BINGO ||

|| ||

|| ||

[eternal river]

damn writers, invented so many ways to put a cart before the horse: flashbacks, flashforwards, foreshadowing, retrospection how dare they, can't they tell the story normally from A to B

[hardy kernel]

I have. The ones I've played are nonsensical and so I lose interest pretty quickly.

[quaint cliff]

damn them for not choking players with too many informations at the very beginning of the game

[eternal river]

but they do choke me. Have you seen that Cheek Pouch entry in catalogue I swear

I got tired scrolling it, not even reading it

[storm fractal]

lowkey prefer this more than Wuwa story. Idk it has best cutscenes and all but the story too serious it’s just boring to me

[storm fractal]

Well now I gotta check that out

[eternal river]

Wuwa story is a mess unfortunately. It's boring not because it is too serious, but because writers didn't know what to do with it

[turbid harness]

I have a question about the mannequin anomaly in the school, idk what to do.

I found the three mannequins in each classroom

[eternal river]

It's a long and rather complex quest. So unless you are really into cracking puzzles (and by that I mean like really-really into it) I suggest you take it slowly. Or you can google a guide for it

[turbid harness]

Noted

[main plank]

You're supposed to spend a lot of time at the schools in the daytime, talking to NPCs and examining everything, to prepare for doing the objectives at night

But that's a pain in the ass so yeah go ahead and use a guide

[storm fractal]

“Whose leak is this?” remained the best horror anomaly just purely cuz I don’t need to do all those bs

[eternal river]

well, it's narratively as perfect as it could be 💯 Huge story told in a few scenes

Maybe the spirit of the Ring author possessed them when they were writing that quest

[eternal river]

Wth bro is doing, spraying a bunch of toasters

[primal adder]

spray him next

[high plinth]

https://tenor.com/view/gigachad-gigafly-chad-giga-chad-gif-10362445836990447768

if you cant see what's important about spraying toasters than maybe youre not very smart

[eternal river]

damn that's deep

[high plinth]

very very deep

[eternal river]

Spraying toasters is risky though. They might analyze your genetic code

[high plinth]

does taygedo even have genetic code

he is a bio-anomaly after all so he probably isn't just made out of ectoplasm or sum shit

[eternal river]

we will never get the answer, because all the scientists in NTE went mad 🥀

[eternal river]

that's exactly what happens, there is a few other encounters with Frizzles 🥀

you see a bro, but it's not the same bro

[high plinth]

not like our frizzle is all that special

why did bro even undergo nullification is he stupid???

[rocky osprey]

ykw, some had already said this but lemme just say it again… WHY ISN’T FRIZZLE EVEN INVITED AS AN ANOMALY ON OUR HOME??? WHYYY

[eternal river]

can't promote bad habits, like smoking or eating fastfood, Chinese laws /j

though I do agree it's a missed opportunity. Like dude, I need those green fries, my Eibon orphans eat that shit. And it's cute

[rocky osprey]

love how you called it ”Eibon orphans”

[eternal river]

by green fries I mean that Anomaly Frizzle should give them once a day

btw, if you invite Nannaly and you have a kitchen table in your house, she will spawn food items once in a while (not sure how often)

[fossil cradle]

There's like 10 of them and two effectively require written instructions

[fading sundial]

Does he actually? Haven't looked into this profile info.

[fossil cradle]

I have perfect pitch and I am not going to be able to remember and recite a set of 3 lines in a random order

i was able to in 5 minutes and i dont have a perfect pitch

(only have like 10 years of going to musical school but that doesn't count 🤫)

[eternal river]

you can do it one by one. Plus 2 of 3 are easy with repeating sounds. Still took me almost 1 hour though (just the music room)

[lunar frigate]

weird question, do any of the characters have confirmed ages, cause i see alot of people romantizing the younger looking ones and idk how to feel abt it.

[violet burrow]

just their months and day for birthdays but thats it im pretty sure. maybe a couple have confirmed ages but i dont remember any. get used to it since cause its a gacha game.

[lunar frigate]

its my first gacha game guess i gotta get used to a new ''fanbase''

[vale beacon]

There will always be some people that are... Pdf, but maybe they themselves are minors... I'll give them the benefit of doubt

Also why the word lolico* is censored

[violet burrow]

yk why. also this stuff is normal for anime and asian games related things.

it is what it is

[lunar frigate]

im never gonna accept those typa weirdos as actual players but they do what they do, and i stay in my own lane

[vale beacon]

It's more prominent but those group of people are present in other types of fandom or irl groups too

[violet burrow]

ofc but im just talking about in general. u will never see a blue archive game made in the west by a western company. all hell would break loose. pretty much every single gacha game has a more child like character or several of them. doesnt happen much outside of asian games

[storm fractal]

He does, that’s also why he knows a lot about anomalies too. He looked into a lot of files about it

I forgot the term but due to his parents’s field of work, Edgar has access to a lot of anomalies’s files to read

[vale beacon]

Works in BAC?

[storm fractal]

Don’t remember which field but definitely works in there

[fading sundial]

Mint is of college age, Nanally has either graduated High School or is on some kind of break; one of her YT videos shows her growing up and her friend group slowly moving away.

Haniel is either recent high school grad or Junior High alongside Illica; one of her profile thingies mention her got her a grad gift and that she wasn't expecting to end up at the same workplace together so hard to say if graduated means all grade school it just junior high.

Also of note: isn't the school campus we see listed as a college academy thingie and not a high school for English dubs?

[vale beacon]

Well i think she is in high school

[eternal river]

I am sorry to say this, but considering your discrod status and you watching anime romcoms... well, I can't stop being amazed at how hypocritical people can be. 90% of anime romcoms are questionable. Do you question what age girls are in that anime?

[storm fractal]

Idk, some high school do lists itself as Academy so

[vale beacon]

It should be high school, in asia some can be called academy

[violet burrow]

my dress up darling😂

[storm fractal]

Especially if it private high school, even more so it gonna list as academy

[fading sundial]

Chunnibyo stuff at play.

The high school listed in her profile stuff is stated to not exist anywhere.

She also super loves Anime and I think wants to be a magical girl? Which in a world where you literally can be a magical girl, is probably her just manifesting that stuff.

[vale beacon]

Most romance anime i know is between high schoolers

[violet burrow]

theres a few that arent even in highschool

[storm fractal]

Sakiri definitely isn’t in high school

[eternal river]

does their behavior differ much from say Haniel?

[violet burrow]

yea shes the youngest of them all im pretty sure. unless edgar is younger but i dont think so

[vale beacon]

There's a line that says she is worrisome about homework

[vale beacon]

Wdym?

[fading sundial]

I'll have to check it out. Unless referring to college stuff.

So probable high schooler, but the one listed in her profile is not the one she attends.

[eternal river]

I mean you don't visit nte-chat I assume. Fights there about age are wild

[vale beacon]

I do have a look once in a while, mostly it's about people go*ning to thighs and such

Found another word censored lol

[violet burrow]

i like to stay away from any general chat. makes sure ur life span stays as long as possible

[eternal river]

Personally, with the amount of discussion in the western hemisphere about kids in anime entertainment, I am a bit annoyed at their presumptions. Hopefully, asian side would continue to not care about western rants, because if that was a thing, plenty of great games wouldn't happen, even though they happen to be controversial

[violet burrow]

yea western people do talk bad, but 90% of gamers know asian games are always the best out there but u also have to remember that asia loves to talk about the west also

[vale beacon]

Instead of worrying about kids in a game they should worry about irl kids

[eternal river]

ehh, irl they are going over the board too. Just recently a story hit the news about a kid who went for a 30 minute walk away from the house, and that got his mother arrested for negligence 🥲

[vale beacon]

real problems

Aurelia was a drummer

[vale beacon]

Clerks at yggash court

[high plinth]

if anything wouldn't you not accept them as fellow fans? because if they play the game they're still players

does anyone have the transliteration Haniel's name in japanese?

[vale beacon]

Anyone know who's this guy?

[proven tiger]

okay am i tripping or is chiz a criminal? she seems like a criminal

[violet burrow]

or that

[vale beacon]

She not, she's a manager of a bank

[high plinth]

no, I know who haniel is, I mean in japanese i hear them referring to her as "hania"

[violet burrow]

no. why u think shes a criminal?

[eternal river]

poor stuttering criminal

[proven tiger]

idk, she steals money from everyone she attacks, and didnt she scam you the moment you cam to the city?

i swear she did

[high plinth]

apparently in katakana it's
ハ = Ha
ニ = Ni
ア = A
can u confirm @vale beacon

[vale beacon]

It's just her mouse sucking money

[proven tiger]

close enough tbf

[eternal river]

that's jsut the normal everyday marketing scam

[vale beacon]

I don't know japanese

[high plinth]

ah not like i cant google that shit lmao

[vale beacon]

Lemme check the voicelines

[eternal river]

the part about her stealing money by attacking ppl is a funny POV, definitely worth considering

[high plinth]

i prefer Haniel to Hania

love judeocristian references in my anime

[proven tiger]

right?

robbin da hood

[eternal river]

I think so far we can only attack garuda members for profit? Or does it work on pedestrians too?

[vale beacon]

Works on any living

Anomalies too

[high plinth]

it doesn't matter if she's attacking garuda members she's still partaking in a crime (based)

[eternal river]

wait damn, why did I spend so much time looking for targets then, should have just mogged civilians

[proven tiger]

thank god i have nothing to worry at least, even if i met her

a man with no pants fears no pickpockets

[vale beacon]

From what i hear in voicelines seems it's pronounced that way

[high plinth]

the lion does not concern himself with the "monetary system"

[eternal river]

I mean, it's a normal trope to kick money out of baddies. Not a crime, from gaming perspective

[proven tiger]

the lion might just starve to death

I mean you can bully some NPC's for their wallets, briefcases, and/or breakfast bags.

[high plinth]

in 2030 when ingsoc takes over video game crimes will be rightfully persecuted so dont be so sure...

[eternal river]

it's fine, everybody knows women have no rights in Japan. Patriarchy and all

[eternal river]

yeah, I know. I swear devs need to give us some bluecollars to kick for their suitcases. It is too sad to kick teenagers to minmax stuff 🥀

they can't even fight back

[high plinth]

you know what they say, proles aren't people

[proven tiger]

Or homeless

[eternal river]

nah, homeless is even worse. That's too real

[proven tiger]

You should be able to make em fight for money ngl

[high plinth]

NTE should have a true RichPersonSimulatorMode™

you should be able to use your immense assets to kidnap random homeless people off the streets and have em fight in underground colosseums

[proven tiger]

Now you talking my language

[eternal river]

since the only homeless people in Hetherau are Lacrimosa and Nannaly (semi-homeless due to sleeping outdoors), you are going to be kidnapping kids. Just don't go into nte-chat with such suggestions, it will blow up

[proven tiger]

There should be a battle royal option too

Like you buy an island and you put em on it

[vale beacon]

Lacrimosa has an apartment tho🤔

[high plinth]

why do you think im here in #✏️┆nte-lore brother

[violet burrow]

lol yea neither of them are homeless

[eternal river]

yes, but she is the closest to homelessness you get 🥀

[high plinth]

nanally has a room in Eibon

[proven tiger]

Its fine nanally is a gangster

[high plinth]

pretty sure you can blackmail either pretty easily so

[proven tiger]

Wouldnt nanally mop the homeless tho? Isnt she strong?

[high plinth]

yeah but if the other homeless is requiem

[proven tiger]

I have no clue about power levels ngl

[eternal river]

you don't even need to blackmail, they are gullible

[high plinth]

let's get the strongest non-esper vs the strongest esper

clarion vs nanally, the showdown of mafioso (mentally ill) vs mafiosa (larper)

[proven tiger]

Nanally is the strongest esper?

[high plinth]

both are homeless

[high plinth]

no im honestly just yapping

[vale beacon]

Is there a lore reason why these trashcan like seats gives the most popularity?

[high plinth]

those are engine pistons

[violet burrow]

maybe cause they are the most unique compared to the other options

[upper hearth]

Probably the “coolest” looking seats

[eternal river]

Hetherau is very clean, so trash is so rare that it becomes a valuable asset

[proven tiger]

I have no fkin idea who these characters are ngl

[high plinth]

they are pistons gng 💔

[upper hearth]

He did what in his cup?

[vale beacon]

[high plinth]

also the whole trashy thing is a very hipster thing

these bars are full of recycled stuff to make em look "authentic" and "hip"

[upper hearth]

I like it

[high plinth]

they're also expensive asf

[vale beacon]

How the f

[eternal river]

ah, good. Looks like one of possible spawn points of Raphaël Ambrosius Costeau

[high plinth]

again, i think they might be emulating pistons

[fossil cradle]

You can bribe nanally with a bag of chips

[high plinth]

since NTE devs are all carfgs and like that shit

[vale beacon]

Why hotori has unique invite hangouts

[proven tiger]

Bro really wants them to be pistons

You have like a thing for those?

[eternal river]

likely, this aesthetic is widespread in garuda bases, and those are supposed to be motor fanatics

[high plinth]

no im just a smartass

am i wrong tho

[proven tiger]

No clue

[eternal river]

because she is the best selling character so far it seems? Devs know what they are doing, trust

[proven tiger]

Im just here cause i dont want to sleep yet

[high plinth]

yeah who knows they dont look thta much like pistons 💔

[proven tiger]

I mean she is cool af

Tbf nanally is cold too when you pull her, i swear she is cool

I just dont really like that half of the chars are kids

[eternal river]

well, her pull animation is definitely cool

[proven tiger]

Right? She seems cold af ngl

[high plinth]

read that as foid af 💔

[proven tiger]

Lmao

[high plinth]

they all foids bruv

[proven tiger]

She is a kid, like wdym

I mean technically i guess if you look at it like a term yeah every woman is

[eternal river]

don't make me google that word

[high plinth]

being a kid doesn't exempt her from being a human female

[proven tiger]

Tru

[eternal river]

oh, I forgot we actually have AI nowadays for stuff like that

[high plinth]

we now outsource our thinking to clankers, yes

[vale beacon]

Strange how the games have open shops for bicycles but you can't interact with the shop owner

[high plinth]

this game was released early and undercooked

[proven tiger]

Are the coluccis strong btw? Do we know smthing about them?

Are they cats?

[high plinth]

give it a few patches
@proven tiger coluccis is just nanally's family it doesnt actually exist as a mafia family outside of nanally's delusion

[eternal river]

Coluccis are Nannaly + Edgar + Sakiri (last two unwillingly)

[proven tiger]

Oh, so she wont be the next al capone? Damn

[high plinth]

sakiri isn't in the coluccis, kiroumaru is tho

[high plinth]

a bit of patience friend, rome wasn't built in a day

[proven tiger]

Damn i thought it was like a small family or smthing

[high plinth]

it is 😭

[proven tiger]

True i guess

[proven tiger]

I mean OK I MEAN NOT THAT SMALL AND ONLY WITH KIDS

[eternal river]

she is, she has voicelines where she says Colucci motto or whatever, not very enthusiastically

[high plinth]

i mean technically the coluccis has adults and shit

Nanally's name is "Nanally Colucci"

[proven tiger]

No i think pabs right, i read that smwhere that only kimimaru joined

[high plinth]

her parents, grandparents, etc

[proven tiger]

Yeah but you know what i mean

Its not like an esper powerhouse family

[high plinth]

yeah she's a larper

i will say though, a powerhouse family owned mafia doesn't distinguish itself by having super-strong espers, the coluccis already has nanally, edgar, a few adjacents like sakiri and zero

[proven tiger]

Also why is she like a cat?

[high plinth]

a strong mafia is defined by its influence and amount of operatives

nanally gotta learn to manage what is essentially a business, illegaly ran but still a business in form

[high plinth]

devs wanted catgirls in the game side effect of her esper ability for some godforsaken reason

[proven tiger]

Tru, tru, also if chiz joins smhow, they will have money too, i mean mostly other peoples money i guess

[high plinth]

mf i (mc) am a multimillionnaire and i am in the coluccis

[proven tiger]

I see potential

[high plinth]

the potential is there but nanally is raw

[proven tiger]

Im broke even in game

Pov: Chiz in 5 years

[high plinth]

if you werent on your third penthouse by a week ago you should honestly delete the game you're not fit for ts

[proven tiger]

I dont think have enough bruv

Tbf i didnt start when it released

I think i played like 6 days total?

[high plinth]

shii get going then

(dont go too fast youll end up with not enough to do)

[proven tiger]

Yeah i have like a mil rn, i just maxed out café decors and stuff

[violet burrow]

i can own every home except the 8m one rn but i want to wait till 1.1 to see if they add anything

also need to save for porsche collab

[proven tiger]

Also i dont think there is much benefit for the third home, thats why i havent bought it

[high plinth]

oh shi yeah

[violet burrow]

i got the 2m home right off the bat. good investment imo. its like double the size of the 1m and 1.4m homes and is fully furnished unlike the first 3.

[high plinth]

they were adding the 718 gt4 right?

[proven tiger]

I just try to balance out fun and productivity

[violet burrow]

they spyder

[proven tiger]

Also i read like 95% of quests, so yeah

[violet burrow]

918 spyder

[high plinth]

oh alr

[vale beacon]

How much fons?

[high plinth]

yeah why add the 718 when there's alr 2 flat 6 porsches

[violet burrow]

people have been saying 20m

[proven tiger]

Is it like time limited?

[vale beacon]

That's a big jump

[proven tiger]

Damn i hope chiz gives loans

[vale beacon]

That's like 500 races 1st position

[zinc goblet]

my god im gonna go broke and bring eibon whit me

[vale beacon]

That's like 19k rift crystal

[high plinth]

ok but it's a 918 tho

[vale beacon]

That's like 160€

[high plinth]

it would take you 43.6 years to buy it irl on your average full time salary in the U.S. of $63,000 a year

[storm fractal]

Considering how easy it is for espers to destroy thing in the city I’m surprised there’s no anomaly that has the ability to fixing things around the places (that moment when Lacri broke all the high rise building’s glasses during tomato jelly fight)

[high plinth]

realistically speaking said anomaly probably exists lil vro

Oricalcum industries likely has a whole ton of anomalies on their payroll for this type of stuf

[vale beacon]

I wonder if we'll have a rebuilt new helios

[violet burrow]

helios? yea they already said they plan on doing large scale operations to rebuild it

[high plinth]

n helios is still probably operating as a functional city but will likely have thousands of buildings in construction and reparation, think 1950s Berlin

[violet burrow]

yea but its also stated that its extremely warped and messed up. something u would see in a pretty intense level in the backrooms

[lunar frigate]

the fact u go directly for my profile says alot about you though doesnt it, and i know you didnt ask, but heres my top 3 romcoms, horimiya, oregairu, and the angel next door spoils me rotten.
thats in no particular order, i think their all amazing, but to answer your questions, i do question anime girls ages, if they look young and they get romanticized i dont care if they are technically ''1000'' years old, i will still feel a sort of way against that, gonna say this right now though, i got 3 messages against me for that statement, i think that says alot about the fanbase of those particular characters.

no hate towards you or anyone, just had to state this.

[eternal river]

ok, fine by me. I went to your profile because I gather information before I make any judgements or assumptions (it is anyway preliminary to make any assumptions).

It is unlucky if it is the first time you make contact with anime fanbase. Generally, the views in the fanbase are not even remotely this polarized. Unfortunately, there are a lot of haters of NTE and anime style at work here, which polarizes this server a lot and gives wrong optics to the whole problem. So the image you see is not what it is, because ppl right now are very agitated (I probably shouldn't explain that weebs are quite reactive to normies invading their space) and take more offensive positions than they would otherwise.

There are plenty of GTA fans here who feel offended that this is called an anime GTA, thanks not the least to some well-known youtubers and twitch streamers

[high plinth]

This is genshin’d ZZZ with gta and forza horizon gameplay elements

The closest element to GTA is the tycoon system, the police star rating system

[eternal river]

yeah, and half of the fans of those games feel that this game shouldn't exist, because in many ways it is better than those games 😅

[high plinth]

The fact that you “requisition” cars instead of stealing them instantly makes this game the opposite of GTA

[violet burrow]

i wish the cars and races did match the quality of forza. that would be amazing

hopefully they improve it alot in the near future

[eternal river]

I mean, it's pretty good at this level. Better than NFS for that matter, can't hope for more

[high plinth]

The driving engine in this game sucks so many balls ive lost count

[violet burrow]

definitely not better than NFS and thats my least favorite racing game

[high plinth]

Nah bruv NFS is kino

[eternal river]

seems good to me, it simulates grip, the loss of traction and contact with ground rather well, for an arcade racing

[high plinth]

I’m guessing you don’t like Arcady ganes

Another fact of the matter is that this game has basically no cars

[violet burrow]

i like arcade racing more than sim racing but i just prefer the crew and forza over NFS. the collision, SFX, and visuals in NTE just dont compare to full on racing games. it is good for a gacha game though since its like the only one that has cars

[high plinth]

And 2 thirds of them are boring supercars

Literally that

I like the fact that you got the Charger tho

[lunar frigate]

understandable, and i agreewith your points, i was simply stating what i had on my mind, i enjoy animes, i enjoy gta, just the first time i play a ''anime styled game''

[high plinth]

Mfs put the hellcat in the game shieeeeet

[lunar frigate]

charger*

its a dodge charger, base model at that.

[high plinth]

It was a joke bruv I know it’s a charger

[eternal river]

for obvious reasons, same reasons we have luxury mansions as 4/5 of available housing

[lunar frigate]

wish the trueno had more tuning parts, visually atleast, all you can do is put a livery on it and recolor it.

[high plinth]

That’s different

Nobody gaf about housing

Cars are interesting

[lunar frigate]

idk abt that, i like decorating.

[high plinth]

I do kinda think they shouldn’t just add a boatload of new cars

They should be more diverse with vehicles because not everybody is a carfg like us

GTA had tanks

[lunar frigate]

true that, tho i wish there were more.. diversity, like.. super cars are cool and all that, but where are the german cars, yk?

[high plinth]

Theres the Jetta

With the golf front

[lunar frigate]

well yeah, but i was thinking more modern

[high plinth]

What do u suggest

[violet burrow]

the fact that the FASTEST supercars in nte cap out at 202kmh/125mph at base is really weird. laVelox and pendragon should be around 330-360kmh/205-223mph if they are to be compared to their irl counterparts.

[high plinth]

My favourite German car is the RS3 but I don’t think it’s interesting enough to deserve to be put in

RS6 Avant maybe

[vale beacon]

Even with mods?

[eternal river]

The problem is that they go for both arcade feel and realism, which is bad. Collisions with static objects are rather realistic. Collisions between dynamic objects are arcade, which creates dissonance, because you either expect all collisions to be realistic or all collisions to be like an arcade

[violet burrow]

with mods they only increase SLIGHTLY. like 10kmh at most and thats just a few MPH

[lunar frigate]

rs3 is definetley intresting enough, but i was thinking maybe like a .. g80, since they are quite popular right now, maybe a older quattro.

[lunar frigate]

theres already mods for nte????

[high plinth]

Car mods not mod mods

[lunar frigate]

right, ofcourse.

[eternal river]

it's not weird, because engine doesn't simulate air pressure to improve grip, so at 360 km/h you will have no grip half of the time in this physics engine

[high plinth]

G80 would be logical yeah

[lunar frigate]

i feel like modding the game later shouldnt be a problem as long as you play solo and not online.

[high plinth]

Maybe AMG GT black series? Idk

[fading sundial]

I don't know about currently, but there used to be some car flight mods a week or two ago.

Not sure if they're still plaguing the online circuits.

[eternal river]

so they literally can't go above 250 km/h unless they raise the car weight, which will mess with dynamic collisions

[lunar frigate]

sure the gt black series would fit, but that would blend into the evergrowing ''supercar'' crisis there is in the game

[vale beacon]

Touching other cars during a race is my bane

[high plinth]

I still think they shouldn’t add armored vehicles to the game, a tank, 8x8, MRAP, APC, all that stuff

[violet burrow]

thats why they need to improve the physics alot. also speed is also alot of visual stuff and not how fast ur actually moving across the map. they could just change the number on the speedometer and maybe add some motion blur and it would work. theres tons of discussions like this already.

[lunar frigate]

yeah, no thank you to that, id rather they add ''tiktok car taste'' typa cars instead

[vale beacon]

Ya it doesn't like it fits the world

[lunar frigate]

feel like this is already heavily done, cause when your going said ''150'' mph, it feels.. really slow

[vale beacon]

I would like them to add helicopters since i see a few heli pads

[violet burrow]

150 KMH so yea it is really slow

[lunar frigate]

flying helis would be cool.

[lunar frigate]

yeah kmh, wtvr the standard in the game is

[high plinth]

True true. Why don’t we go the opposite spectrum and have like an 1 series diesel bmw

[lunar frigate]

cause.. well nobody would buy that lol, just the actual car enthusiasts.

[violet burrow]

where i live people drive that fast on the highway to work and some countries drive faster.

[high plinth]

“Why don’t we go” as if we had any choices lmao

[lunar frigate]

the actual car enthusiasts of this game take up a general of around.. 2% i feel.

[high plinth]

Yup

[eternal river]

that's the problem, they can't do a lot of that stuff. If you see a delivery target 2 km away you expect to deliver it according to your speed and accel, and you expect it to be honest in an open world game like this

[violet burrow]

also nfs is a perfect example in how it would work. NTE has basically 0 realism except for the visual and reflections and stuff. the cars dont even sound realistic. the collision is very similar to NFS but with less stuff flying in the air

[vale beacon]

the speed feeling isn't a problem for me 🤔

[lunar frigate]

that is one thing i do love about the game though, the ''open world'' it is, most games that are open world tend to cheap out on small things like pedestrians and general stuff you wouldnt pay much attention too, but i feel like nte really didnt cheap out on any of that, sure theres the usual buggy glitches and the .. really bad cop ai, but still its amazing.

[high plinth]

Why don’t we go by niches filled out? We have a compact hatchback, the old mini, a small sedan with the Jetta, a sports car sedan with the AE86, and a muscle car with the charger, then a grand tourer and cabriolet 911 and everything after that is generic super car

[vale beacon]

It's probably due of being a newer game

[violet burrow]

yes and are you driving at 330kmh in downtown? no cause ur slowing down and turning. 2km down the highway yes it will be fast and accurate to ur speed.

[eternal river]

then you also have dogfighting on race tracks, in which supercars would be outmatched by musclecars and jeeps. Not great optics if you spend 12 mil on Pendragon and you are sent flying every time you touch any car (as it should be)

[lunar frigate]

alright lets get niche, nissan gloria.

#needthat

[violet burrow]

thats a whole different problem. as of rn, collision against other players should be disabled especially with how terrible the physics are. against NPCs ur already hitting a brick wall. they literally dont budge and can glitch u out if u touch them

[high plinth]

I raise your Gloria with my (not niche) Toyota crown

[lunar frigate]

just please anything ''bippu'' or ''vip'' stylable.

[vale beacon]

If you have a supercar won't you just be faster than them so they can't even touch you?

[lunar frigate]

i raise your not niche toyota crown with my super non niche, nissan 350z

[high plinth]

Love that body kit

[eternal river]

not necessarily, only assuming similar riding skills and cornering

[high plinth]

A century would be kino also

[violet burrow]

this is all i want. give us a 458 and wide body kits for cars. also extended swing arms for the crotch rockets

[lunar frigate]

and PLEASE let us wheelie on bikes.

i am so used to pressing ctrl and starting to wheelie and it just feels uncanny that i cant.

[vale beacon]

I would want motorcycles races

[high plinth]

What about an S2000

[vale beacon]

True, but in that case would be a skill issue

[lunar frigate]

would give us an ACTUAL reason to buy them.

[vale beacon]

I have the 2.5Mil sitting there waiting for the day

[eternal river]

well, if both are skill issue (which is like 90% playerbase) then the car with more weight wins

[vale beacon]

That's true

But don't think that's an issue

[eternal river]

and as a gamedev you want ppl with pricier cars to win more, not the other way around

[high plinth]

I bought the nineT because of my hathor so

[vale beacon]

True, so people spend money

[lunar frigate]

got a completley unrelated question, im tryna get the jail outfit, any faster way to get it? cause currently im collection everything, giving them to their respective people and then getting painkillers to get the currencys to buy the outfit.

[eternal river]

which is why we have what we have and not a proper sim or full arcade

[vale beacon]

Dunno if you can use painkillers bought outside the prison for the exchange

[vale beacon]

I always get derailed by a slight touch

[violet burrow]

depends on the car. thats only the case if its another supercar we are talking about. a LaVelox is absolutely smoking a enforcer regardless of skill. the supercar would have to intentionally let go off the gas just to let the enforcer catch up and ram it.

[lunar frigate]

u can buy some outside? ill try that right now

[vale beacon]

There are some pharmacies that sells them iirc but it cost quite the sum

[violet burrow]

unless the heavier car is HEAVILY modified and running like 1000HP

[lunar frigate]

meh i got some cash laying around, anything to get out of the normal appraiser outfit atp, im getting bored of seeing it lol

[eternal river]

well, for example my initial plan to fight Pendragons before I knew that cars don't lose durability in online games was to hit it until we are the same speed (assuming they are not placed first). And it still kinda works if all three racers intend to obstruct Pendragon. Pendragon racer would need to have a flawless run to give 0 opportunities to all other players not to obstruct it

[violet burrow]

lol thats why collision in racing needs to be turned off and thats also why vehicle rankings need to be a thing. a pendragon has no reason racing a C2000 or ST79. thats why the race always ends with DNFs and pendragon 1500m ahead of everyone. when they add more cars, i really hope they do something like that

cause even if they give enough fons for everyone to buy whatever car, all u will see are the top 2 fastest cars availiable for purchase on the track.

the formula for video game racing has already been made long ago and is demonstrated by several racing game franchises. theres no reason for NTE to not be able to match it if they actually want to do so.

[eternal river]

I assume we will get vehicle type brackets along the way, that's just a no brainer, they can't keep adding supercars

[violet burrow]

yea. i havent really tried pvp racing much because of that. also because alot of players first instinct is to play derby of the line which is annoying.

[eternal river]

which is? I thought online game racing is mostly dead (except people pretending it is not), we have either decal simulators or whatever is NFS currently which has nitro boost equalizer for every car (so its basically a resource management game)

[high plinth]

Pink paws?

Gets you an alt outfit

[violet burrow]

you do know that forza horizon 6 just released right and is the 3rd most played game on steam rn. racing games are definitely not dead. cars are one of the main parts of a persons daily life in a majority of the world and so many people have hobbies involving cars

[high plinth]

Are you put in a females only prison if you have female mc? I was wondering cos if you’re male mc you makes only

[eternal river]

well, 95% of Forza playerbase is there to put cute skins on cars and make screenshots and maybe ride a bit offline

[high plinth]

Game got leaked a week ago btw

[eternal river]

basically a glorified car skin editor rn (which is fine imo)

[high plinth]

Without DRM you could torrent it from rutracker

[high plinth]

https://tenor.com/view/omni-man-omni-man-are-you-sure-are-you-sure-invincible-gif-3935116808772397515

[violet burrow]

i dont think thats the case. also that doesnt change the fact that the formula for racing games is there. just look at the game and u would see what im talking about. speed, physics, visuals, sound. everything is already there

[high plinth]

Game costs ~50 greenbacks btw

I would pay approximately ~0% of that for a glorified car skin editor

Then again I did 🏴‍☠️ FH3 and 4 so not like I can speak

[eternal river]

how many years that game has been polished? NFS is going strong for 30+ years or so. Not that it's the same engine or devs, but still

[violet burrow]

https://youtu.be/qzg-PfVpdzA?si=xTl5_KbRHJN_IhM-
again NTE doesnt need to make and polish a formula. its already been made by other companies😂. im talking purely the driving aspect. its already been solved and theres not much room for improvment. theres no reason that 300kmh is impossible cause top speed and the speed in which u drive in a specific race track are different things. downtown will have a lower avg speed because ur braking and turning but on a highway race or oval, you can actually top out

[eternal river]

the problem is, you can't just bootstrap net code from a full racing game into a open world sandbox game (that is mostly a 3rd person action).

well. unless we want to have a different behaviour for cars in online races and solo play

[violet burrow]

like im driving on the highway rn in nte and we are moving at 55kmh/34mph

like cmon now.

like think about it. in how many races in NTE can u just hold down the gas and drive at 170 with very minimal turning. u can do that for like a whole minute on some of the races. ur literally just taking a normal drive while following traffic laws

im red lining and even fadia says "driving this slow isnt any fun" 😭

[lunar frigate]

[tropic swallow]

Hi I have a really dumb question if someone is avail

[eternal river]

Ask, if it's about story, lore or quests then we might help you

[tropic swallow]

|| the evil lady that came in the quest with the puppet girl who lost her memory, Z something, I forget her name. I know she’s related to Daffodil but I couldn’t figure out if she was the “mom” or one of the “sisters”. Are we supposed to know? ||

[inland obsidian]

I killed the rhythm master and then all mission finished, what to do next? 😅

[eternal river]

Zankou - she is one of the sisters. Their "mom" is Madam T, leader of Scarlet Letter

[tropic swallow]

Thanks!!

[inland obsidian]

I also completed that mission but after there is no mission, what can I do?

[storm fractal]

Idk. Explore, build chars up, read the lore?

[tropic swallow]

The game is new, more main story will come. Try to fight anomalies and explore

[storm fractal]

Did you do all the anomalies commissions?

[eternal river]

it's the last mission currently available. There are side quests, if you finished those you can improve affection with characters, that will give you small quests and encounters. Also, there are hidden quest chains that Blackbird (Witch) can point you towards via Lost Tales

[main plank]

Do whatever content you haven't done, do dailies/weeklies, get excited for May 23 livestream, wait painfully for 1.1 patch on June 3

[tropic swallow]

If you have Hathor, killing all the vending machines every day for the hamster ball seeds are a good use of time

[eternal river]

Hidden quest chains could be a bit hard to follow through, you will know when it is finished when you get an achievement.

[inland obsidian]

No 🙂‍↔️

[frosty yoke]

what time period was this scene supposed to take place in? everything else looks antiquated except for these two guys holding a digital camera and a cell phone

[main plank]

~50 years before NTE's present
it's not that long ago, just a super classy old-fashioned rich people get-together

[frosty yoke]

yeah i guess that makes sense

Soooo

Do we have a canon love interest for Esper Zero?

[main plank]

just like basically every other gacha, there's not going to be a canon love interest for the MC

Am I the only one who thinks Puff the snowman chapter has more impact to me than the tageydo chapter.

[spiral niche]

I strongly disliked Puff

[main plank]

no that's pretty much everyone
I didn't even like Puff and the ending still kind of got me

[storm fractal]

If there’s actual love interest I would rather they only start develop it later down in the story and need to has actual chemistry

If it another kind of love interest like Solo Leveling… 💀

[wide ridge]

What of Jiuyuan?

[storm fractal]

If you into m*lf

[wide ridge]

She doesn't look like M*lf?

[main plank]

Jiuyuan seems to be into the MC, but then the same is true of Mint and Fadia

[storm fractal]

She’s the same vibe Kafka from HSR considered one

[fading sundial]

Is Jiuyan properly into Zero, or does she just want him as an employee?

[wide ridge]

That too.

[digital frost]

does this mean anything

Porsche is full canon, btw.

[lavish turret]

YAHOO!!!

[main plank]

nah they gotta overcome their bad first impression and realize their true feelings, we're not takin the cheap way out here

[wispy zephyr]

sigh, but im visualizing with the cheap way we can use this somehow shoehorn a whole harem that is based just off multiple rounds of amnesia

that way we can piss off everyone

[high plinth]

lowers hammer this will hurt a little bit but it’s soooo worth it

[gray pilot]

Well, Girlfriend/Boyfriend Material is the closest thing they can get. Characters like Firefly from HSR or the multiple characters in genshin. Theyd be pushing that without being it canonize.

Well, if you can put her in the aparments.... Probably thats something and head cannon it yourself

[wispy zephyr]

every zankou bond intereaction will justbe mc being under her illusions influence

i ship it, lets make this real

[main plank]

Shorekeeper in Wuwa is about as close to canon wife as it gets, but I doubt NTE will go that far

[gray pilot]

Especially if you can just choose one yourself... Thats why you put them in your houses

[high plinth]

On 4chan they’re called “for (you)” characters

You can make various in your game and they usually don’t interfere with much since it never goes past the canon mark

[gray pilot]

That

[wispy zephyr]

hmm, with this line of thinking im visualizing the potential for special interaction between characters if you have high enough bond in like rival characters. kind of like stardew valley where the town realize you are leading everyone on

i can see pandering to "those" people having characters get into a spat over your attention

[main plank]

no way the game is going to punish anyone for too many high bond levels

[wispy zephyr]

oh not punish just special interactions

[gray pilot]

I mean The whole firefly story was just putting her in a normal life and you as her partner. Even the trailers just go for it anyway

[main plank]

though it would be cool if certain characters could interact with each other if you put them in the same apartment

yea stuff like that would be fun

[high plinth]

Stupid cats

[wispy zephyr]

[gray pilot]

Fengling Villa is basically asking for a Harem

[main plank]

Weiner Apartments for monogamy, privacy, and constant physical closeness

[gray pilot]

I know controversial and trust me its not what your thinking of. I wanna put Sakiri on the apartments. Good house good home Happy Sakiri

[main plank]

daughteru not waifu, I hope

[wispy zephyr]

i think they just need to establish a strong line between hot adult women you can mentally date and silly little characters you can have shenangians with

[gray pilot]

Daughteru of course...

[wispy zephyr]

okay....

[high plinth]

My homies skia Adler and baicang going to fengling with me

[wispy zephyr]

TRUEEEEEEEE

[gray pilot]

If possible id put Eibon on Fengling Villa lol

[wispy zephyr]

oh putting whole factions in one housing would be fun to do down the line

[gray pilot]

Its wierd having Jiuyuan and Hotori on one apartment lmao

[high plinth]

Sorry bud but my plans for NTE 1.1 is to hopefully make both of them homeless

[wispy zephyr]

lol fair

btw have people gone crazy with decorating apartments yet i need to see what shenangians are possible

the expensive af auction house furniture calls to me

[latent lance]

first time beating this it straight up disappear along with the girl
it did spit her out on the second encounter
with some places anomaly holding human hostage, quite a dangerous city

[burnt socket]

Guy who thought he was trippin examining a garbage can was eaten by it and still gone after I killed the can got his answer ig

[fading sundial]

I don't remember that scene?

[wispy zephyr]

its these guys

[fading sundial]

Specifically an NPC being trapped in there, I mean.

[wispy zephyr]

chance for an npc to be in them

wait lowkey fire photo oppurtunity

[fading sundial]

Oh, random chance? Got it.

[latent lance]

rip humans

[wispy zephyr]

girl really needed to pipe down about needing help, sigh, welped time to neutralize it with her in it

aw she gets out alive what a bummer

[fading sundial]

Did you walk up to it or teleport to it?

[wispy zephyr]

i was tracking phone booths to kill as one does, and one of the ones i was tracking had her in it and with the anomaly you interact with them to start a fight

[fading sundial]

Oooooooooooh right, those are monsterous phone booths, not regular ones.

[latent lance]

the human perish should have drop wallets

Kitenap by kites
Bubble hostage by fish
Attacked by katana / octotruck

Probably the only safe encounter is losing money to the vending machine

[wispy zephyr]

maybe these guys have a point

[latent lance]

get along with the hospital spookies

[high plinth]

confirmed that what kills normal humans isn't big fancy class IV,V or VI anomalies but the dang ambushes

Who the hell is shinku

[floral shard]

Sorry I just completed the quest about the Band and I’m wondering if we already got all the lore to it or if there will be more to the quest ? 😭 I don’t think I got Akane’s backstory

[wispy zephyr]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tXias0GWYoo in here around 1:56 mark

[wispy zephyr]

basically, though is additional context by reading aurelia's character story

[fading sundial]

tl;dr Akane, Aurelia, and some other girl I forgot Suzuha got murked by Swallowtail at some point and that's why Akane is traumatized by Anomalies. They also used to be part of a band (LINES) together.

Akane is an Esper of some kind and is expected to become a playable character at some point.

[wispy zephyr]

like did you know LINES as an anomaly hunting group as well :0

[wispy zephyr]

oh what a beautiful image, imma gradually change and use this till we are in 2.0

[wispy zephyr]

suzuha was the 3rd member name

[high plinth]

wouldn't say akane is traumatized by anomalies, she just rightfully knows they are nothing to sneeze at

[wispy zephyr]

suzuha the girl she was lowkey just left heatherau while aurelia was in physical therapy after her legs got offscreened

[fading sundial]

She does refer to Aurelia's jellyfish as 'that thing'.

[wispy zephyr]

hilarious stuff fto me

[high plinth]

remember that we've never received confirmation that the jellyfish is even an anomaly tho

(it probably is one, im just being pedantic)

[wispy zephyr]

maybe akane is just sensistive to esper and anomaly stuff in general

with her being an ex anomaly hunter and all, maybe she is just an equal oppurtunity hater

[high plinth]

99% chance akane is an esper tho

[wispy zephyr]

and at the very least an ex anomaly hunter

[high plinth]

you all forget she helped dispatch Bopp in her spinoff

[wispy zephyr]

did she actually help and fight or just say stuff and be concerned on the side

[high plinth]

it's very much implied that she fought

[floral shard]

Oh. I gotta read those 😭 are they all unlocked by default or are they unlocked via the bond system?

[wispy zephyr]

all ulocked by default you can even view all of them via the index tab

[high plinth]

even those of characters you don't have

[wispy zephyr]

the index tab is so good i love it
