I absolutely LOVE Kiyoshi Kurotani

Just wanna gush about this guy as I’ve seen some negative reception towards him. He’s just such a delightful character. When sooo many synergies are either super sad or super poorly written, it’s honestly refreshing to just goof off with this nerd. I love his design as well, he’s meant to be kind of a loser but the game doesn’t dress him down or make him “ugly”. He’s actually dressed rather well (a bit overdressed really), and I think it’s cool to see that Wonder can often times fully play along with his delusions.

And boy was I surprised to see Kiyoshi in main story content!?!? Legitimately one of my favorite parts of the new story. He’s just sooooo entertaining, and that’s really all you gotta be. You could be insufferable, but if your name is Kiyoshi and you’re at least really funny? You’ve got yourself a grade A character in my book.

Anyways, just wanted to say how much I loved this guy. I’d also like to say this is coming from a straight male players perspective. I just adore this games male cast.

Specifically when run with Berry, what is chords best card set?

So chord seems to have a semi divisive BIS card set. From what I understand she’s usually best when ran with creation reconciliation. Does she still want that on the Berry team? Or would Berry rather have chord run trust prosperity for more highlights?

Is there a way to convert cognition crystals into meta jewels directly?

In other gachas I’ve played, the currency you can buy from the store can be directly converted into the main premium currency you get in game. Though I don’t see any way to convert cognition crystals into meta jewels in game. I know that the crystals can be converted into pulls, but is there no way to just convert them into meta jewels?

Which Navi does Berry prefer most?

Trying to decide who to use my cycle of fate cards on and since Berrys card set doesn’t exit yet I’m planning to use it on her BIS teammates. I know that chord is definitely her number 1 support, and it looks like Sumer minami will be her second best teammate (unless I’m wrong about that please correct me if I am) and then I can’t get a clean consensus on weather or not she wants Ange or Futaba.

So which does Berry prefer?

Will Promeia still want Nangong when Velina comes out?

Currently debating on whether or not to pull Promeia. On the one hand, I have Miyabi. On the other hand I do like Promeia a lot, and she’s a “true” ice anomaly. Plus, I plan to pull for Velina and will 100% be skipping Remielle if she’s actually ether anomaly like the leaks have said. So my one hang up is, will Promeias best team still include Nangong? I’ve HEAVILY invested into the Angels team, I’m talking multiple mindscapes and will never break up their group. So if Promeia will always want Nangong, that’ll help me decide if I should pull or not.

So like, how good is SBilly actually?

Or do we just not really know? Recent leaks have shifted around my pulls, and I think SBilly might actually be in the cards. Now I’m not one to usually care much for pull value, but I’m still rocking 1.0 teams with my Harumasa and Jane teams. While they have gotten some nice upgrades, a 1.0 non void hunter dps can only go so far. I also do not own and will never pull for YSG. So a new physical agent would be nice as well. I just don’t wanna pull for a character and be left disappointed by their performance in a few months.

I’m also aware of hyperbole and doom posting. Banyue, while not literally the best dps, is still very strong even months after his banner from what I’ve heard. So is SBilly legitimately good? Keep in mind that if the recent leaks of Remiel being an ether anomaly agent are true I will not be pulling her, so I’m not really factoring her into my pull value.

Characters who have really good/really bad mindscapes?

Mindscapes are some of my favorite things to talk about because the wider audience does not interact with them which means they’re scarcely discussed, and I think that’s a little sad considering mindscapes are a way to show your ultimate love for a character.

So, I’m wondering which characters have exceptionally good mindscapes? Their mindscapes (either just 1 or multiple) are a cut above the rest and drastically improve the character over another equivalently numbered mindscape. I’d also count mindscapes that are just fun here as well.

On the flip side, who has mindscapes that are so terrible it’d pretty much always be better to invest in another character? Mindscapes that are sometimes equal to half the value of an equivalently numbered mindscape. I’d also count mindscapes that are just super extremely boring and uninspired here too.

So does Velina want Norma or not?

From what I can gather from the betas of Velina and Norma, it seems like Norma and Velina won’t exactly work amazingly together on launch without the addition of a third teammate who’s not anomaly. Norma seems to be an attack/rupture stunner, and Velina at least wants someone who has high anomaly output.

So are they supposed to be on a team together? Is there something I’m missing?

Sorry if the title is worded poorly, feel like I can’t explain what I mean without a couple sentences. Basically what I’m asking is if Yixuan was something of an exception for the new season character or the character that comes on the .0 update in terms of her power budget. I remember when she came out she was referred to as a “void hunter level” character I think explicitly by the devs themselves. At the time, I kinda assumed that was because she was just the .0 character and all characters who fell on the .0 update would be given a larger power budget when compared to other S ranks. I’m not sure if Velina will follow suit (she is still in beta) but from her beta and the fact that 3.0 will not be the anniversary patch, will Velina not be allowed the same power budget?

A side note, could Yixuan have been given special treatment because she was a .0 and anniversary character simultaneously? It crossed my mind as I was literally writing this, but I’d just like to hear the thoughts from others. Was Yixuan a special case where all the cards where in her favor? Or will Velina be similarly strong as a “void hunter level” agent?

I remember when the metaphor profile frame got added there was discussion of a possible metaphor collab. However it seemed that it was quickly realized it probably would not be happening soon if at all. I know that we still have many a character to pull from, we still have P5R and P5S (as well as tactica but like ehhhhh I don’t see that happening ever) characters unused, as well as original characters.

The big debate imo, is if P4R will be done soon enough for a collab with P5X, or if it’s still a long ways from completion, will metaphor be the next major collab before P4? I don’t see them EVER in a million years doing a P4 collab before the release of P4R. Even if they did, I don’t think they’d do it without a concrete release date or if the game happened to release like a few weeks after the first P4R collab character. Either way, doing a P4R collab when the game doesn’t really seem close to being out seems like a massive waste of potential “free” marketing. They could also just go without a collab and focus on original characters until P4R, but again that seems unlikely.

So what do you guys think? Is there a very real possibility of a metaphor collab or is it just a pipe dream?

This is for one simple reason. She does not look like she’d be fire at ALL. This might have been a problem if she came out in 1.0. Previous characters have almost always had some color of their element represented in their design in some way. Very often, this looks super good. Think Burnice, Yixuan, Hugo, Harumasa, or even elements that are harder to represent like physical where Jane, Caesar, Alice or even Billy all “look” like they’d be physical. For the most part, all agents elements could probably guessed within a coin toss (barring very few exceptions), and this has been a pretty consistent design philosophy.

However, we are approaching 2 years in this game. Do you really want EVERY single character going forward just be “they’re red/orange so they’re fire” or “they’re purple/red/pink so they’re ether”? I’m not even saying all characters so abandon color matching to their element. I just would kill to have a character look nothing like their assigned element.

Which brings us to Norma. She’s got one of the most unique displays of her element. Her big ass missiles, bombs, bullets and just general explosions are so fucking cool. Like, hell yeah, this girl is fire and she’s like a war general. She’s got some of my favorite animations, and since every other fire character is so red, having her be the complete opposite color with a blue and white outfit (along with silver accents which are just such a nice touch) I vastly prefer this to just another fire character who’s some shade of red. It’s just makes it an infinitely more interesting design in my opinion. Norma ain’t perfect though. Her being a fire STUNNER is a huge bummer when she realistically could’ve been probably anything else? Fire support I feel makes a lot of sense since she fights with her “summons” in bangboos, her hat and missiles from her ult. She feels very similar to Rina in a way. I could’ve also seen a sub dps fire attack, fire anomaly or even fire defense. I think just about anything except fire stunner I would’ve taken.

Overall, I love Norma and her design. I don’t want every agent to have mismatching colors and elements, but being 2 years into the game I’d love to just get a little more variety in color design like this. Her being a fire stunner really does suck though.

Obviously Ange is the best character in the game, so every team will benefit from her.

HOWEVER. Obviously some teams will benefit much more from Ange than others. I know Haru and Ryuji specifically get a nice boost in power, but are there any other current or upcoming characters where Ange is undoubtedly the BIS Navi?
