Unopened boxes turn to thread boxes, egoshards turn to thread, open at end of season or don’t—it’s not the biggest deal there is.

God I love Chef Ryoshu. I know she's not quite as good as like R Heath or W Don, but holy poo poo does she drop some crazy damage when your enemies are low on health

red plastic cup posted:Leviathan opens on or around Christmas where Tomerry destroys the orphanage and Verg & Iori fight. Vergilius meets up with Garnet some time after (how long?) and the rest of Leviathan happens, ending with Vergilius and Charon meeting Faust and being recruited into Limbus Company. The end of Library of Ruina's gotta be 982-12 at the very least, surely? Since there's a time gap between the first chapter and the rest. One of the orphan becomes a fixer in Vergil's office, and the prologue for Limbus Company happens on 984-01. The timing does not work out at all for that orphan to get his license after an event like that.

I'm still really confused as to how Lion, Wolf and Panther fit into all of this. They don't seem to be N-Corp related.

I wouldn't be so sure that the antagonistic party toward us is N Corp either. Sure, a good chunk of our rivals seems to be coming from that company, but I don't think Hong Lu's family is from there? And I didn't really get the impression that Kramer's group was with the rival faction? And you're forgetting about the third faction, that Demian seems to be involved in.

https://twitter.com/LimbusCompany_B/status/1639221486698532867 yeah their concept art makes it pretty clear who the with how hard its emphasizing panther's earrings. also if you wanna dig into it, they're a reference to three animals dante encounters at the start of dante's inferno, and digging deeper from there, it's a reference to a bible verse. quote:Jeremiah 5 the whole thing's about how ignorance isnt an excuse if im reading it right, which seems to apply to dante's amnesia - he's still responsible for whatever he was doing before, since he keeps 'sinning.'

I actually read part of Inferno for a college English class. From what I understand, the wolf represents lust or greed, the lion represents pride/arrogance, and the panther represents deception/fraud.

Hong Lu’s brother Jia Huan turned up with the darker-clothed N Corp group at the end of Canto I - with Hermann and Gubo. As for those guys not matching the Inquisitors… yeah we don’t have an explanation for that I think…

Hermann is clearly involved in a higher level N Corp project involving the golden boughs. probably mass producing distortions. not every single N corp person is gonna be like the inquisitors. those guys are definitely N Corp

Welp, good thing I didn't use up my boxes before that announcement. It does absolutely confirm "do not use up your boxes until the week before a season ends". At least if they're good I can prob shard both of them now, but I'll do a few pulls just in case. Does this EGO fall on the old roadmap dates?

Yi Sang’s chapter is next, and we’ve established a connection between him and Gubo. What do you think will happen in his chapter: -Gubo will be the final fight, and die in the end -Gubo will be the final fight, but escape to be fought again later -Gubo will be fought at some point in the chapter but is not the final fight -Gubo will be antagonistic during the chapter but remain unfought -Gubo will not appear in Yi Sang’s chapter

Even assuming this, that's still a tight time span, Leviathan starts at the end of December, being Christmas, and then it seems like there's some kind of time skip, maybe a couple of days, maybe months. But if it's days, then that places it in January, and Limbus Company starts January.

GiantRockFromSpace posted:Does this EGO fall on the old roadmap dates? Yeah, the old roadmap had an EGO dropping at the same time as Canto IV. They probably decided to drop it now so as to avoid a content lull, since the post-launch gacha EGOs haven't really been relevant to the main story yet anyway.

Dante's Notes update: Not much on why the Sinners are called... well, "Sinners", but Meursault apparently provided some minor details on N Corp: Nagel Und Hammer is split into two factions under the name of "Nail" and "Hammer", the inquisitors weren't as prevalent when he worked there, and weren't the majority faction. Kromer's group was a bunch of extremists, and N Corp isn't radically different from the rest of the Corps aside from some rigidness.

We now know the proper name of what is likely to be the main antagonistic faction of Limbus Company.

Rodya's foe faction is likely Yurodiv though, when we get back round to her, and Gregor has Smoke War Veterans and his "mother" who is ex-g corp and may or may not be now working for N corp. Outis also might end up with Smoke War Veterans, at which point I could see two sinners stories per enemy faction.

Idly, and this is totally just random speculation: Netzach mentions that Giovanni grew up in a K Corp orphanage. Given what we see of the security checkpoints, I wonder if it wasn't that his parents died so much as he got separated at immigration into the Nest.

Junpei posted:I'm still really confused as to how Lion, Wolf and Panther fit into all of this. They don't seem to be N-Corp related. They're also a reference to the original Divine Comedy story/self insert fanfiction. Dante gets chased through the woods by them before he meets his guide Vergil, I believe. Make of that what you will. Also, factoring in all the stuff over all the different media N corp was heavily implied to be using extremist groups like Nagel und Hammer to murder, terrorize, and make people shy away from potential competition to their products. Basically, it appears to be a case of capitalists wielding right wing/conservative extremists for the capitalist's profit in a dramatized* version of real life. That the nails are also part of a product they use to harvest experiences is a financial bonus that helps sustain the numbers by brainwashing more recruits with the extremist dogma without N corp having to go out and do the work of finding more bastards and victims themselves. They're a wee bit more sinister than your average wing in that regard, since they're setting up genocides for profit using reactionary extremist groups as a proxy. Meursalt seems to be missing out on the social context, which is admittedly a very Meursalt thing to do. *Or if you live in a country where the government colludes with capitalists to try to organize or actually outright exterminate groups for some form of profit be it political or financial, it's just a literal example in this case. I did a a massive  post on them awhile back that goes into this and other stuff about them. Keep in mind that Nagel Und Hammer straight up has a bible, on the go religious scripture they quote to ward off dissenters and doubt, and a crusader and inquisition motif that mirrors how christians have a habit of exterminating out groups at the behest of their leaders who are in bed with shady sorts of folks. It's pretty on the nose in that regard, and i'd be willing to bet they're at least somewhat riffing off of groups like the US's fundamentalists and evangelicals in that regard given their behavior towards certain minority groups.

for the highest difficulty, it gives +3 thread per clear that means if you play manually you get 6 thread instead of 3, and if you pay double stamina for the skip you get 9 thread instead of 6.

So far, my guesses for the unfocused Sinner's antagonists: Yi Sang: Gubo, obvs. Hong Lu: Jia Huan, also obvs. Ishmael: Either Ahab or the whale itself. Or possibly both. Heathcliff: I don't think Cathy would end up being a villain. Either Hindley or Edgar? Don Quixote: Her EGO's name would point to Sancho being the obvious pick, but it could also be Dulcinea. Faust: I actually don't think it'll really come from the book itself, just broadly the Limbus Company higher-ups. Maybe one of 'em will be named Gretchen, who knows. Ryoshu: I'm really confused about this because I remember that Ryoshu represents Yoshihide, but her name comes from an alternate reading of the Lord of Horikawa, so I could see Ryoshu's enemy being named Yoshihide or Horikawa. I don't think it'll be Yuzuki, though. Outis: Odysseus pisses off so many people that I could see Polyphemus, Poseidon, Circe, or Agamemnon being the villain of her chapter. Meursault: Man I dunno. Raymond? EDIT: Also, where do your think Siegfried will show up again? He's from a German work, so Faust would make sense, but his showing up is connected so much to Don Quixote that it'd make sense if he showed up again in her chapter, too.

Junpei posted:So far, my guesses for the unfocused Sinner's antagonists: Meursalt's enemy might just straight up be N corp or where ever he worked itself. Not sure how the hell they'd pull it off but his book has such a grim and cynical bent with only a few characters involved in it for most of it that not much else would fit unless they take some liberties. Keep in mind that Meursalt's story culminates in him being put on trial and being convicted and sentenced to death not for the murder he committed and was supposed to be tried for but for straight up admitting to being an atheist to the Algerian french colonials that were explicitly stated to not care if he murdered a native since they were all racist holier than thou shitbags. Everything else was circumstantial nonsense that didn't even have relevance and was utterly ridiculous bullshit used to justify sentencing him to death for being an atheist. Heck, he's even given a chance to renounce his beliefs in exchange for a pardon or being judged as innocent and he declines, ironically proving that despite his murder he's got more morals than the colonials in a bizarre and absurdist sort of way. Aside from a proxy in the form of the hanging judge, the priest at the end (Who he throttles for trying to force last rights or a renunciation of his beliefs in exchange for relief from being executed onto him despite his stated beliefs. Essentially, religious blackmail.), or his dickhead girlfriend beating friend who technically started the whole mess that lead to his downfall i'm not sure if he even has a singular villain. At the end of the day Meursalt's "enemy" (Insofar as the story goes, as he simply cannot be made to care about society at large.) was a rotten society which was prejudiced and hypocritical in the extreme and all too willing to condemn someone for things that have no guilt attached to them, morally speaking. All while being so called good christians who were stealing land from the native Algerians and genociding them while not caring that a man murdered an Algerian native until his atheism was made known to them. Fits with his EGO too, since it refers to the chains of others binding someone down. Archonex fucked around with this message at 08:55 on May 13, 2023 |

I think it's fair to say that the inquisition is the Hammer part.
