As a new player going through the main story...
I'm kind of disappointed as to how much lore/introduction I missed out on for being new. I got a bit confused with Astra's chapter, because apparently we've already interacted with her before... With Ye Shungueng I missed out on an event that actually explains why she was gifted a photo wall with memories I didn't even know occured and why her relationship with the proxy runs deeper. I still really liked her story and chapter though.
Now, I'm just starting to meet the Angels of Delusions in the main story and but they already knew each other, from a previous event that's no longer available ;-; I wish I coulda actually just did the events even with no reward... or they should atleast merge it into the main story somehow after the events over. It just feels jarring to be introduced to a new character/s only to find out they had some interaction that I had no clue about. What do ya'll think? Still having fun with the game though, the cutscenes and art in the story are so heat.
Edit: Forgot to mention some of the Obol Squad members just popping up... didn't realise I needed their agent stories to actually have them be introduced ;-;
