i can see it
but the 2 piece just was nicer imo
maybe it's a woman's aesthetical differences here
maiden veldt
mc does seem to get a swimsuit costume also. (free by the looks of it)
runic ether
yeah both of them are free
belle wise both get free skins (so far)
though i imagine when they become playable that shit is gonna upgrade to paid
maiden veldt
belle is quite cute... even though once again the fanbase/subreddit takes it to a very weird path...
wispy goblet
are people really speculating we'll get field playable Belle and Wise?
rapid bough
that's more story-based speculation than anything
catch up to the story to find out why
runic ether
its speculative
maiden veldt
i think it was mentioned a few times in dev talks.
wispy goblet
I've peeked ahead to see some spoilers anyway
digital marlin
it feels weird but it does kinda make sense with the path the story is going
wispy goblet
I'm working through Epilogue A right now
runic ether
also on the trend: every hoyo so far has had playability in combat
rapid bough
belle is quite cute... even though once again the fanbase/subreddit takes it to ...
belle is definitely supposed to be like early 20s at the absolute youngest so i don't think this is creepy
runic ether
big argument that the twins are in their early 30s even
maiden veldt
belle is definitely supposed to be like early 20s at the absolute youngest so i ...
oh no not that way... more in the incest kind of way...
digital marlin
30s feels too big of a stretch
rapid bough
omaigoto
runic ether
oh yeah no thats just the community
rapid bough
i mean that's just the internet at this point
runic ether
30s feels too big of a stretch
it actually isnt
rapid bough
it's saturated everything lol
wispy goblet
look
incest has been normalized for centuries across the world
or something
runic ether
from what we have seen of flashbacks
runic ether
they were quite old when they were attending the helios academy
not like adults
but as in
at the very least older teens
rapid bough
mc does seem to get a swimsuit costume also. (free by the looks of it)
also this is the best swimsuit skin of the 3 tbh, belle can absolutely get it
also wise is kinda ripped for some reason
runic ether
helios academy fell some 10 odd years ago
and the fall of the old capital
belle/wise have also renewed their business license
old galleon
rapid bough
is this kansas
runic ether
which iirc, needed them to be at least 25 to get so its possible of course, they got em younger than 25 due to new eridu's case but the license lasts at least a few years
old galleon
no it's little mermaid
runic ether
so they are being generous, mid 20s
old galleon
(yes it's kansas)
runic ether
maybe 24
rapid bough
misty is talking to vale about the "30s feels like a stretch" comment
digital marlin
No matter how what eveyone say they just look to much like they came out of teens
runic ether
me too and im basically 30
maiden veldt
oh
wispy goblet
oh
literally playing through the part about ether resistance now
rapid bough
but hoyo keeps the timeline purposely vague with almost all the characters so they can plausibly be whatever age range makes sense for all these agents to be thirsty as fuck over the proxies
runic ether
yeah ultimately we wont ever get their official ages
digital marlin
Its like that for alot of media and i hate it
runic ether
but the proxies are easily a lot older than they look
rapid bough
No matter how what eveyone say they just look to much like they came out of teen...
this is just anime protag effect tbh
runic ether
and they definitely do act older than most of the cast
imo
belle is a gremlin but her dialogue and choices are for sure on the more mature end for a person
same w wise
though hes easily clocked as the older sibling
rapid bough
canon has their ages in the mid to upper 20s -> age range makes sense for the vast majority of the agent cast that also falls in this age range to seemingly be romantically interested
appearance is young enough to be a teen -> age range makes sense for the younger of the cast (ellen, vivian) to crush on them and have implied reciprocation not look too fucking weird

but with recency bias gone eve has settled back into her rightful position as best girl

Eve FAN
🤝
runic ether
i just went back to the theater to look at the cast and it ws definitely a bit of an odd mix
digital marlin
Eve and Yanagi my favs
runic ether
not a bad selection (i honestly dont think theres bad characters in this game)
but it was certainly interesting as the first rollout to them
rapid bough
yanagi is also goated
runic ether
nagi is great
rapid bough
it's actually insane how much my opinion of her as shifted from reveal to now
runic ether
my favorite remains 11 though
rapid bough
i initially thought she was mid and looked more like an NPC than a playable
runic ether
i do still think she looks like an npc more than some npcs
rapid bough
and to a degree that kinda is true, but it's purposely true
runic ether
but this is less to be like
wow her design is ass
and more to say
this game has absurdly good npc designs
rapid bough
i think moreso that it complements her personality as an unassuming office lady type, she's even got low self esteem about her appearance
runic ether
she's also going blind
rapid bough
there's something to be said for understated hotness
yanagi is prolly in my top 3 but honestly after eve and yixuan there's a massive grey area
yanagi, astra, and zhu yuan are all way up there for me
wispy goblet
Right now, my top three are Zhu Yuan, Yi Xuan, and Nicole (everyone is shocked)
runic ether
nicole is so good too
wispy goblet
Eve just narrowly missed out
maiden veldt
maiden veldt
rapid bough
in terms of appearance she's definitely best of the best, may even be tied with eve for me
unfortunately her everything else grates on me lmao
wispy goblet
as far as saving for waifu
I'm hoping for an Eve rerun
Astra less so but the agent story kinda won me over
rapid bough
eve enjoyer 🤝
maiden veldt
digital marlin
Appearance wise im "neutral" on Nicole but i do enjoy her character for what it is
wispy goblet
poggers hit Level 50
digital marlin
so in a way opposite of Khaios
rapid bough
damn now i want to make a graph with "appearance" and "personality" axes and place everyone on it lol
eve is top of both which is why she's my fave
nicole is top for appearance but (relatively) low personality ranking for me
maiden veldt

LETS FUCKING GO
Koleda got stuck at 50 and FuFu 56 with Pan at 55
and Rina at 57
rapid bough
also i'm trying to make an alignment chart but failing miserably because tiermaker doesn't let you resize icons and everyone that isn't a full furry or child in ZZZ is hot and based so i'm running out of space on the top right of this chart without even being halfway through the agent cast lmao
digital marlin
i regret using all my charges to level Rina
Putting Burnice down there kinda hurts
rapid bough
she's legitimately insane
summer hornet
I mean that brainrot was lethal
digital marlin
like i dont really care that much about her but she at least has meme
runic ether
she cannot function without significant amount of nitro fuel in her system too
u can sometimes find her in the city zonked the fuck out in a manic depressive episode bc she doesnt has her hit of nitro fuel
digital marlin
i did not know about the last part
rapid bough
she's kind of in the same personality zone as fufu in the sense that she is actually an adult and can be much more mature than it immediately appears
wispy goblet
also i'm trying to make an alignment chart but failing miserably because tiermak...
I remember making a similar chart for another game
I focused on position relative to other characters more than absolute position of how I'd rank
rapid bough
but whereas fufu's unserious personality trait is just being very cute
burnice's is being a pyromaniac drug addict
runic ether
the character backstory for the voice actor roles for burnice notes a particularly tragic backstory but we dont really get to see it (for now)
digital marlin
everyone seems to have a tragic backstory
runic ether
well
rapid bough
the world of ZZZ is 10 years post-apocalypse lol
runic ether
do remember they are currently living through an apocalypse
right
and then they faced another apocalypse like 10 ish years ago
it is very possible humanity just never recovers and we are just playing the last death throes of humanity in this world
digital marlin
yeah although i was never really able to gauge how bad it is outside of the incident from 10 years ago.
runic ether
the game does a fantastic job of keeping its upbeat and modern/hip aesthetic to mask the inherent depression of the world its set in
the aesthetic vs setting is supposed to be polarized
you get burnice flash mob and miyabi fighting a cat to distract you from the ever growing threat that this is the last city on the planet and this may just be it. even if they can survive, thats it this is where humanity peaks
we even know they cant run to the moon
that place is near totally corrupted with hollows
rapid bough
i gave up on making the alignment chart work
summer hornet
I think the one you had above worked fine, honestly
rapid bough
the one i had above was like half full
it didn't even have everyone
it was already that cramped
rapid bough
i'll note that i am not gay so the dudes being in smash/would tier is simply an acknowledgment that they can absolutely get it, even if i personally would not
also i have bad tier list brainrot and feel the need to have gimmicky tier names, realistically i should've just used the same tiers as misty's list lol
digital marlin
digital marlin
it always feels weird when trying to balance between ranking and character design
i really dont like Furry design which is kinda tanks Lycaon and co
rapid bough
i'm definitely whatever on most full furry designs but lycaon hits diff

though i guess her wengine also makes hitting the stat breakpoints in the rest of her kit easier

quick question @late canopy how much does affinity for styles of runnung matter?
like ive already gotten 2 late surger skills but now inspiration made it so im pace chaser S while late surger is just A
is there ever a point in pivoting here?
late canopy
Running style affinity affects wit primarily and acts as a wit modifier
So if you go into something you have B on instead of A you can think of yourself as having 90% effective wit based on your wit stat
(For everything besides skill activation chance which for some reason isn't affected at all by the affinity mod for wit)
So it doesn't affect too much until you start going really really low

alrighty time to go find the fgo anime expo panel stream
oh wait i'm dumb
fgo went into maintenance half an hour ago so i forgot it's 1:30 pacific
anyway i don't understand why they had to make sora so bad
esp given her character arc (and design) is one that would definitely appeal to a bunch of people
but "pure dedicated healer" just isn't it

not baiting us right after a collab and while rerunning a different collab, all right before summer
old galleon
not baiting us right after a collab and while rerunning a different collab, all ...
i'm not even asking for her to be next top of the line meta, just not literally year 1 level
and yes, despite not playing year 1, her kit reads like something i'd see in year 1 of this kind of game
wispy goblet
counterpoint
they don't need to accelerate kit power creep if they know they can sell her on her character alone

random realizations i had while browsing ZZZ kits
- holy shit s.anby's sig wengine is insane? it really just gives 98% in combat CDMG% to any attack agent??? obviously in s.anby's hands it's even better but that's a bonkers stat stick across the board
- eve's first 2 mindscapes kinda suck, to the point where if you want to vertically invest in eve, it's better to just get lighter/astra dupes since they're better for eve than eve's own mindscapes lol

nowadays probably not, they were decent when they were released but have definitely been powercrept by better options

though nikke has really bucked the "collabs never rerun" trend that plagues most gacha

The guy went from "I can't play this" to "I'm playing this while riding my bike to immerse myself"
old galleon
though nikke has really bucked the "collabs never rerun" trend that plagues most...
then there's another eden, with its (most) collabs don't expire methodology
but reruns are certainly the next best thing
rapid bough
that's pretty based
old galleon
the two exceptions are chrono cross and octopath traveler, both of which are square enix properties and are "only" gonna be playable for a really short period of 5 years
long tree
Square enix making real sure their toys go back in the box when theyre done playing witj them
old galleon
side note, if anyone wanted to play another eden ever, i'd recommend doing so before december next year since chrono cross collab is set to expire then and kid is still one of the best non-gacha units in the game
old galleon
Square enix making real sure their toys go back in the box when theyre done play...
unfortunately
on the upside, those are the only two; the rest of the collabs are all permanently playable, which is neat in its own right for obv reasons
that aside, nikke rerunning its collabs is good
speaking of collab reruns tho, azur lane should be rerunning the ryza 2 collab at some point
i think that was announced alongside a collab with yumia
rapid bough
yeah they definitely announced that before the CN anni
but i think it was just an "upcoming" with no dates given
old galleon
new collabs are typically in november, although the idolmaster one was earlier in the year it ran
but anyway, ryza collab is good for you in particular bc the auxes from it aren't bad, and ryza herself is a pretty solid mobber
not to mention klaudia
rapid bough
my roster is well past the point where i consider using any new non-UR ships lol
new good auxes is nice tho
old galleon
well unless you're not exp capped on unicorn you might consider using klaudia

uni has been XP capped for probably over a year now so

klaudia's probably second or third best healer in the game

somewhere around average
maybe slightly over factoring in the 11th pull

I could've done it but it would have crushed my summer plans

aesc is def good enough gameplay-wise to justify pity
but that's a tall order if you have other priorities

oh you're *committed* for NP5 Space Eresh

not with that attitude

if i can get newb levels of luck and pull four of one of them in short order, then maybe

I think you could at least get one copy of one and save the rest for the other
...wait, Summer Eresh is the anni unit
nvm that won't work

nvm that won't work
if there's any upside, it's that the ciel banner lasts for around a month and a half
idk if s eresh will overlap at all
but ciel lasts a long time
digital marlin
the real qustion is when are their reruns
old galleon
there's a moon cancer banner set that'll run around may 2027, so ciel reruns at that point anyway
i don't think s eresh has gotten any reruns
digital marlin
i don't think s eresh has gotten any reruns
thats wild
i would go for s eresh than and you can just plan to go for ciel mergers in 2027
