I think Alpha and Roland will be available tmr in the ingame event, BUT ALPHA LOOKS SO GORGEOUS. 😍😍😍
Lee looks really good ngl. Especially his drip
She was just about to say and sike
Seems like JP has finished their maintenance based on their twitter page, but global hasn't. LET ME INNNNNNNN
Some other pics i got while doing Chapter 11. The way Lee wanted to avert his eyes and/or remove the horror he saw out from his memory was funny. Kamui absolutely slayed with that cross-dress. And weird how we got a sneak peek at Plume frame combat in this chapter surprisingly.
I finished it on my original region, so seeing the pain I will need to go through once again is bringing me back PTSD from that time. I still don't know if my laptop is actually ok with streaming because it's old despite having 32GB RAM (Yes, pre-RAM-agaddon). May test it out, idk. The plan was to put this region on hold until I finish my studies so I can use my PC to stream instead, but the wait feels so long since I got till December before I can continue 😭
Finally completed chapter 10 since I started replaying from last week. Let me clarify, I did not do every "hidden" mission because they aren't say necessary or great. So I'm just clearing mainly the main story nodes instead.
But man, this bike mission was great for sure. The only problem was that the camera was shaking like crazy and always moved left and right depending on your previous movement. Overall, story definitely started picking up the pace from here. Replaying from scratch makes me miss some of the good o' times.
So what I thought was a gacha coating, it's not. It's a coating bundle you can buy, but whether the lobby background is separate, I'm not sure.
At least this is 1 of the concert outfit we can obtain for now. The online concert is 8 days away, on the 22 August, 9PM AEST. So it's a Saturday (for my side)
WOW, I never thought memory piece was ACTUALLY expensive until I tried new player experience again. I had 2k currency after spending like 600ml serum, so I could only afford 4 piece Heisen for my Helentine, then Cottie had to be put on hold for a moment. And I still haven't unlock auto battle mode since I need to level up the Authority level to 25. You only get like ~65 currency for every 30ml of serum used. I think the amount of currency obtained per 30ml of serum used should be increased a little bit more IMO considering how often you will use this. From buying memories, to hypertuning, to getting extra materials (if needed).
Some stuff really can only be experienced when you go back in time. The original region (second image) was played during and after accelerated patch (been playing since launch too) and so it's overflowing with currency there. I feel your pain new players, but please give the game more playtime and you will discover what a story this game has.
MANNNN. This takes me back, haven't seen this lobby screen and BGM in years. I'm gonna play till I reach Chapter 11 or 12 and stop there, then switch back to my original region. I intend to record my own live reaction from chapter 12 and key chapters (16, 17, 26, 31-33 trilogy, 40, 41, and ER16), since I've caught up to the latest chapter. There's certainly some chapters that will still be stuck in my head vividly, but I'm sure I can still cry again despite that (I think). Wish there was a way to completely wipe the memory to re-experience the first completion experience
It's been something I've wanted to do after getting a proper PC, but I'm currently overseas doing my studies, so won't be able to do it until the end of this year when I graduate. Heck I may stream it for y'all to see my live reaction as I go. I mah show what damage this game can do to a grown man. Let me know what other chapters I should record as well or if from chapter 17 onwards I should just stream till I reach the latest chapter. I may not narrate every single bit of dialogue because that will just wear down my throat.
Karenina's coating will be a gacha since there's a background included as well. Unless we go with Luna's gacha coating route where the coating and background are separate. Teddy's coating is free, but will there be SFX/VFX, I'm not sure
My prediction on the next character to come out after Karenina, will be Adelyde. Yes it may sound weird, but since Karenina came out first despite Leia being shown in ER16, I will go on a wimp and say Adelyde will come out first since the theme from Karenina PV was in the midst of the sea.
I would like to say that I'm "seeing" a psychiatrist from emotional damage with the description saying: "Emotionally heartbroken from tragic marriage with Lucia (Fictional Character)". (No I'm not seeing one, it's a joke)
Would I be mad about the description? Yes, but at the same time no. I DON'T want to believe that the marriage didn't happen, and I DON'T want to believe that she is a fictional character (My #1 character/waif, and no one can replace her #1 spot among other PGR characters). After all, she's voiced by my favourite oshi, Ishikawa Yui. How can I not have the same feeling when I watched AOT final season and cried a ton with my brother. This is just tragic on top of tragic.
My bro doesn't play the game, but he knows the story can be devastating for players. And when I told him the shi I (<SKK>) went through, I was in literal tears as I was saying them, even the NPC part Chapter 41-11/12 (But I didn't cradle in his arm). That said, will all Lucia story be this devastating? I think they will, and I wish that we will finally have the happy ending that we desire to have (Marrying to both of them). And mind you, Lucias' the only character that they are selling their rings on their official Taobao store.
I WILL HAVE THIS at the top 5 of my Spotify Wrapped. Every time the "Will you marry me in another life? Maybe another time?" always gets me, and in my mind, I'm replaying that scene no matter where I'm at.
I put the Chinese one as well just so that y'all know it's legit, and that the translation is not joking. And that the game could potentially last for 20 years.
I was searching up about "Homecoming Voyage" interview because someone mentioned it in one of my posts, and I took the time to read about 85% of it (Skipped some that I didn't find interesting), and came across this. And HOLY, 20 years is LONG. It would be amazing that PGR can last for that long, and I hope the story told will be consistent and still immersive (excluding Chapter 37: Liv till Chapter 39: Rosetta)
Source of the interview
Idk about y'all, but I hope Lucia will get another frame to harness one of the 10 Sefirahs. And if so, either she harness Victory or Harmony as she has come to terms with both versions of herself (Alpha and her own) and has always strived for victory.
I know y'all would also want another Lee frame, and the amount of Sefirahs that can be harnessed is limited, so maybe he gets Knowledge or Wisdom?
There's certainly many more characters to think about such as Chrome/Wanshi from Strike Hawk (Won't include Kamui since he just got a new frame), members of Cereberus (Vera, Noctis, No.21), or another member from the ascendent group (Luna, Roland, Lamia. Alpha already has Crown).
The copium is that Ophelia will be res-ed and holds "understanding" Sefirah though unlikely since we are inbound for the next chapter where we will recover "Understanding" so that Arius doesn't take hold of it. But then again, some of the next few frames may just be a nexus frame that lines around the Sefirah.
It's just wishful thoughts, but at least this makes each Gray Raven members that important.
This was funny af. It was not read by cast members, but was showed at the end of the stream.
Earlier in the patch, JP allowed players to decide what Rover says in the fourth panel. So this was one of them that could've been selected, but NOPE. The one read instead was "For a dream, my face looks too handsome".
It's here SKKs! The other ring is here
Once again, Kuro put fire behind her character, and BOOM, physical with darkflow affix.
This was the other one generated, but this showed more legs, and is brighter
Hanying will still be relevant in Ultima Slash, so she's not completely irrelevant YET. Let's be clear about that
Poster waifs getting the best treatment over the other waifs in their game. (And yes, Selena is in tears there)
IMO, I enjoyed the story. It was definitely a lot shorter than the previous one and brought confirmation about what this world is going to be like.
For starters, Ophelia won't be coming back. As much as I hate to say this, she is gone as another potential Tsundere queen. And from the looks of things, Alpha too will eventually be joining her as well. (But I'm going to ride the copium train that Alpha will still be kept in the present world since her MIND was the only one that was actually replicated to become the current gray raven's Lucia. Even though it was mentioned that they need to follow the law of conservation which could lead to either of the 2 Lucias not being around, and highly likely it's Alpha, since she bears Atheism and sacrificed her own happiness for others)
Ophelia seems to have died in many of the other worldline as well, so her not appearing in our current worldline should've been expected. Ophelia in the current worldline was revived for a short while, due to influence of the "Understanding" Sefirah and maybe Arius removing a bit of her consciousness out of it iirc, but how did she get a physical body for that short while idk. She was originally dead as mentioned by Helentine, and also shown later that even if Ophelia did not disappear/integrate herself into Helentine before confronting Tavis, she will still disintegrate regardless once everything was resolved just like Wynne.
The next question is, what will become of SKK later on? Will we become a construct/semi-human despite Tantulum incompatibility and seal all of Sefirah in us as we become Chaos again? It was mentioned in this story that construct conversion could be done without compatibility with Tantulum through MIND reconstruction iirc. So will that be our fate later on? We are the anomaly in most of the worldline after all. This is based on what I've seen in "Date a live" where the male MC is half human half spirit, and is able to seal the power of the Sefirah.
The chemistry between the twins was great. They both have their contrasting traits. Helentine behaved the way she did (Putting others above herself) because it was a promise made with Ophelia, though Ophelia kinda regretted it later on. The story animation definitely shook me up quite a bit because the JP voice acting was on point.
We still don't know much about Adelyde involvement in the upcoming story yet, but she's one of the 5 great families; Helios. And we got to see Leia in her new frame earlier than expected in this story, but will she be the upcoming frame in the next update? We still don't know. Could be Karenina? Considering the Engineering force is on the Narwhal with us and we will be going after Atlantic Eye via sea.
Both Arius and Marlis are ascendants with the former somehow brought back to alive from an explosion in the past and the latter still have not much info aside from her appearing in Kamui's chapter where she is now a defector of Babylonia. Both are working together to intercept Phylotree of Ousia technology. Arius definitely wasn't as evil as Marlis. He was somehow restored by Aisling by some means. What's surprising is that Leia and Arius knew each other when they laid eye upon each other. So will this be discussed later on?
For Tavis, despite my initial impression was that he is another Echo: Alisa father kind of character, he honestly wasn't as bad as Echo's father. Tavis was wayyyy more emotional than Kurono. The latter literally had zero emotions in any experiment he does, and would definitely do anything to get results even if it means using his own children (I'm looking at you Tucker), and Tavis didn't want any of these things to happen to either daughters. Tavis was just consumed by grief and wanted to undo everything that's happened by any means possible. Wished he was the one that took most of the brunt from the Sefirah rather than Ophelia 🥲
This is my take, so feel free to add on or correct some info. RIP Ophelia's happiness 😭
Now that Kuro has their own animation studio, do you think they will also create anime for PGR? I would like to experience extreme emotional damage in 4K animation 🥲
I'm not talking about panini where all characters are chibi sized, but true to size in the game being animated.
Would it be niche? Maybe...? Considering the playerbase here is not as high as WuWa's, but I'm sure many people would like to see some of the chapters being animated, or perhaps untold stories.
I'm riding that copium train for this to happen regardless 🙂
Twins, but Helentine's consciousness was shattered due to an accident during an operation, and Ophelia's memory of Helentine was needed to restore her consciousness while being transferred into a construct body and MIND.
At first I thought she (Ophelia) was dead dead, but thank god she's still alive. Her father did say that she will still be normal after the operation, but hey, this is playing with the human's brain. It's completely possible that something unforeseen could happen. Whether she is a construct now or a subject of her father's experiment, I'm still not sure yet. Will play deeper to know soon enough. (Seems like her father is similar to Echo: Alisa right now)
Btw Helentine is the older sister while Ophelia is the younger one. And yea, Helentine can be quite goofy at times indeed
PLEASE!!! I want another playable Tsundere in future!!! I've seen her in Chapter 41, and I know what kind of dere she is, so please!
This is from X where they show how many chapter nodes are there in the short video, and man, can we just admire how GUD Ophelia looks in the second image. Total of 20 nodes and denoted as an ER chapter, not a main one.
Something to note is that the final boss will be the father of Helentine and Ophelia. (Yea, seems like another f-ed up father like Echo: Alisa chapter Pickman)
DAMN YOU KURO, PLEASE UNLOCK HER FROM NPC I'M BEGGING. She looks too gud to be an NPC. I mean sure the NPC model looks like Bianca no.2, but I'm sure if she becomes playable, her design would be different. I want another Tsundere like Karenina please.
That aside, I think the chapter is gonna be yet another heavy one. Especially knowing what happened in Chapter 41 alternate worldline with Lucia/Alpha. (I use worldline instead of timeline because I'm a Stein's Gate viewer, so to me, worldline is a better fit than timeline)
