When does the game get good?

I played this game because i saw the white haired girl with a long sword, and luckily i got her within my first 10 pull, she is so badd, also the combat is interesting imo, it's a lot more Intiuative than a lot of modern gachas that i've played where it's just e skill+basic+ult (i do like ZZZ parry system tho) my favorite right now is crimson weave, her entrance/exit animation are so cool, she's so badddd gahdamn, that being said tho, i've seen people say the early chapters are bad, and tbh story-wise yea it has not impressed me.

I'm only in like chapter 6-7 but man... it's kinda exhausting im ngl, every chapter i've played so far, i've just been trying to lock in and failing, because i WANT to love this game and glaze it to highest degree, this is the first gacha i've spent some amount of money on because i really wanted that crimson weave skin with a goth? vibe (idk what it's called) she's such a fukin BADDIE with black outfit holy fuuhh bruh i lost gallons to her already DAMN, but it really hasn't grabbed me the same way something like Arknights did for me, or most gachas that i've played honestly has gripping starting points, with maybe the exception of Wuwa, Jinzhou was also kinda mid to me, maybe i'm starting to get old, or maybe it's just skill issue.

Do i just keep on blasting through the story (and blasting my shi on white hair girl, cuz DAMN) expecting something eventually? or should i maybe reset my brain and play Inverse crown event story(idk if it has relevant spoilers, lemme know) because just seeing badass white hair swordsgirl make me feel things.

Thoughts on trailblazer's development as an individual after a journey through 5 planets + herta's(Peerless gem) space station

Personally I don't see it, hate to say it but TB is such a bland protagonist, they do have hype moments and aura at least, when it comes to everything else, idk, goals ?, motivations ?, relationships ?, Enemies/rivals ?, what efforts have they personally taking towards finding out their past and origins, I know they're self inserts but self inserts can be done right!

As an example, looking at the stellaron hunters, back in kafka's companion quest iirc and in the 3.8 story quest with firefly, they did something where we could refuse a request from a desperate kafka and ignoring a promise from a "dying" firefly, if you refuse kafka you miss out on the quest, similarly with firefly you miss out on some interactions and a fireworks scene, unfortunately this is an illusion of a choice and a false sense of developments, whichever option you pick, your relationship stays the same with both of them, people who dislike them and refuse them due to any reasons and people who like them and are interested in deepening the bond, both audiences are treated the same way by the characters afterwards

This is a failure as self insert character because you aren't even being inserted, you're just playing a soulless puppet, a better way to preserve immersion is to have firefly/kafka behave differently towards trailblazers that rejected/accepted their requests, that small detail would add much more depth to tb, the choices they make and the people around, whichever way you look at it, self insert or as their own character, TB sucks at both

Tldr: TB ain't done nothing but step back

I 100% agree about the promo stuff, but face of what? Tree Sprite was MIA last patch wdym "face"

You cannot convince me otherwise how Eva fans wanted to justify their character so bad. Entitling her as the "face of Planarcadia" is pure and unfettered copium.

She's a denizen and Emanator of Abundance, oh sorry, I meant the deadly and scary Emanator that we have to entertain otherwise she will destroy everything in Planarcadia that 100% happened before when she has judged someone for breaking the rules of the Phantasmoon Games but somehow cannot defeat Asat Pramad lol, though along with Graphia, they did repel him

Ultimately, she's just a seal of one of Oroboros' husks, which also exists on other planets, which are also sealed by Abundance trees which are also probably leaves plucked from Yaoshi that Aha stole and also have personifications, Emanators or not.

Himeko is more of the "character in focus" of Planarcadia, if not "face". Let's be real, Eva so far isn't so special, the only thing that makes her interesting is her "other scary personality", which is so far as much of a potential man as Welt rn. Sure, I also look forward to whatever happens to her in the future, but I'm not so copium to say she's the "face" of Planarcadia.

Look, its a forever argument atp but let's get real. Silver Wolf rn is more important than Eva. She repelled Asat Pramad when we fought Fulwish, though one can say he backed off on his own. Eva as far as memory goes talked about how she'll do this or do that but at the end she was just on her tree and did nothing. SW also accompanied us throughout World in Canvas and helped against both Asat and Graphia. Though credit to where's due, TB did end up doing what she originally have to do as the judge, so there's that.

I'm more than willing to eat my own words if she does something significant next patch, which I don't think she will because the Abrosial Arbor looked like it got annihilated by Asat Pramad, and the preview shows Oroboros slowly eating away Planarcadia, free. I don't think the seal is sealing anything anymore, nor would the Emanator behind it do something about it, lest idk, give TB some words of encouragement.

PS: Before you reply, keep in mind that ky point was that she's not really that important to be called "the face of Planarcadia". Whether you believe it was because she was shafted, it doesn't matter because we're already past that story, and the post I showed is still insisting that Eva is "the face of Planarcadia"

You don't understand [character name] is so good at E2 you just need to invest a little!!!

Just get Phainon E2 and Cyrene E2 and this team is so crazy and it will never fall off trust! (just one of many eidolon merchant examples)
