The real twist with Paimon is how much they will stick to the Ars Goetia.

quote:

The Ninth Spirit in this Order is Paimon, a Great King, and very obedient unto Lucifer...This Spirit can teach all Arts and Sciences, and other secret things. He can discover unto thee what the Earth is, and what holdeth it up in the Waters; and what Mind is, and where it is; or any other thing thou mayest desire to know...

Until she opens her mouth.

Honestly JP and CN Paimon aren't unbearable. Haven't listened to any of the other non-EN voices but I legitimately cannot fathom how people are able to stand EN Paimon's voice.

Paimon chat makes me wonder if they'll ever do something equivalent to Honkai's Captainverse in Genshin. That would be one route to introducing a playable Paimon without affecting the main storyline. (For non- Honkai players, the Captainverse is a meta multiverse travel story arc they've used as the background for alt character versions.)

Also every Captainverse story is limited time event exclusive. Which sucks for following Captainverse, but is certainly better than having main universe stuff be event exclusive.

Also it gets loving hilarious sometimes. The Captain is becoming less and less of an empty player insert, which was weird at first but means he can do things like go on a short rant about Tesla and Einstein's overuse of the word "Quantum."

They continue to abuse the word "quantum" to this day.

In general the JP and EN voices for a lot of characters are so high pitched and grating, I've been playing with CN a lot or just fully muting voices, but then I don't get to hear Itto

Paimon should get angry more. At least in English, Normal Paimon's voice ranges from "annoying" to "meh," but angry Paimon is loving hilarious.

She wouldn't, but she would definitely whine about not getting it and treat it like some kind of sacrifice.

The only thing I hate about Paimon is that she looks like she’s wearing a diaper so I imagine her flying around while she has a fat load in her Pampers flipping around and stinking.

I feel like there's been a lot more events with Paimon just being tired of people's poo poo lately, and it's been pretty enjoyable

In Abramelin, King Paimo(n)'s powers include[15] knowledge of past and future events, clearing up doubts, making spirits appear, creating visions, acquiring and dismissing servant spirits, reanimating the dead for several years, flight, remaining underwater indefinitely, and general abilities to "make all kinds of things" (and) "all sorts of people and armor appear" at the behest of the magician.[16]

Putting Dehya on the standard banner was the final nail on the coffin. Thanks so much for ruining the very character many yearned for. Gmae has been unfun for quite a while now. And this company does not give any care towards its dedicated playerbase who enjoy this game's mechanics and character progression. As for Dehya she was the character I was most excited for since the Sumeru teaser. And they delayed her banner 5 patch after just to make her a standard banner character with weakest kit.

Uhh.. I'm cool with eventual Dehya cons. It's fine if a character is whatever.

Anyway I'm glad a picture taking event is coming around again. For the current or eventual Ayaka havers out if the event has a charged attack requirement, see if you can get a shot with her sword extended. Next time I need XQs sword belt on.

Yeah I really hope they've got a loved one or guardian using parental controls to keep them from pouring all of their money into the game too. Since I just don't think someone who has tossed a couple of battlepass or welkins at the game would have that kind of reaction.

But also the whole fomo and hype building for characters is how the whole predatory gacha model works. They needed this player to feel this invested. Hell, I'm not as addicted but I still felt bad that going 78 and then 68 pulls into Al's banner didn't get me him.

Tricky building teams at the moment, the all seem to end up with the Goddess of Eternity sneaking in there because I’m a massive fan of her burst.

Just rolled Mona c1 on standard banner. Still missing Keqing and Tig, but I use Mona often enough so no harm done. Seems like a minor buff.
