Stumbled upon this tweet today and I would like to express my opinion on it.

Let's remove Vesper and Ye Shiyuan out of the picture first. This post is not about them since there are no obstacles for them to become playable in the future.

Now let's look at the rest.

Isolde and Pompey. Two characters that have been dead for a long time. We all mourn their fates. But making them playable in the future would be... anticlimatic.

We don't know the full nature of the ZZZ universe, but if they somehow bring some stuff to the table to bring them back it wouldn't be satisfying imo. Undoing their tragic closure for some fanservice wouldn't be a smart decision. If they would be still alive there wouldn't be any problems at all. But with them being dead? Yeahhhhhhh.

Now comes Romeul. He's my favorite boss of the game after Bringer and he's voiced by one of my favorite VAs (Gianni Matragrano).

But I know damn well his ass is not becoming playable. He's a psycho, an unstable guy that enjoys killing. To make us have a playable antagonist like Hugo and Pulchra the story finds a way to make us sympathize with them. In Romeul's case this is not possible. You would have to brainwash him to make him fit in Phaethon's friend group.

And also, his fate is ambiguous. The last thing we hear of him is that he locked up in prison, but Romeul knows damn well he can't escape a death sentence.

That's why Vesper and Ye Shiyuan have way higher chances to be playable: they're alive, mentally stable and their stories aren't finished. Hope to see them playable as soon as possible, no matter the rank.

New button cancels her shield activation. After the first attempt she only transforms when your stun hits 50%+, forcing you to build Daze. Her shield % mirrors your stun when she enters, break it yourself and she gets stunned, let her exit and your stun drops to match her remaining shield. Blocking the first attempt caps how strong her shield gets for the rest of the fight (since on the first attempt, the shield will be at 100%)

4th star: don't let her activate the shield

Simulated Annihilation Battle - Boss Mechanics: Manato

Starts with a 50% Miasma Shield, back again after stun. Getting hit grows it, at 100% he goes Berserk (faster attacks, interruption resistance). EX/parry/ult break it faster. Full block state: only EX or ult breaks it

4th star: Prevent the boss from entering Berserk mode

Mew Mew in Roscaelifer — New Daily Reward

Similar to the Divination or Scratch Card, there's a new daily "blind box" in the new area.

You get a card from it, and collecting specific card combinations rewards you with a special coin, which you can toss into a fountain in Aymelier for extra rewards.

1. When Drowned Ideal - Komano Manato is a defensive state, the state can be broken by using EX, Ultimate or Assist Follow Up.

2. Every few seconds in battle, a stack of "dust" will be generated. The player can transfer the "dust" to the enemy via Anomaly trigger or Assist Follow Up.

3. The boss (Metamorphosed - Primordial Nightmare) can be interrupted by "Swift Flying Sword" (That one button from the Qingming Realm) when switching states.
