The real impressive thing is someone did the Dongbaek fight with base Yi Sang and won the duel (which if you take Yi Sang he's forced to do).

isn't ryoshu based on the warlord who wanted the art? although i guess an amalgam of the two fits with projmoon and also with making her a tragic figure

She's both, and it is heavily implied the sword she never unsheathes is probably her daughter.

i didn't know he was forced into it, i thought it just had a bigger risk/reward if he got caught in it

unrelatedly, the dichtomy of hard mirror bosses sure is something, my experience so far

My Form Empties: Long-rear end fight necessitating constant EGO use even if you burst Aida down. Good fight at the end of railway but sucks bigtime here. as an aside i got this loving thing like 5 times in a row and only had the resources/could be assed to kill it once. it wasn't worth it.

Da Bull: Just loving murders you unless you roll heads on the strongest EGO. Also has a shitton of health.

Centipede: Sticks around for a while but that's it, it has few enough actions that it'll just end up disabled to poo poo. Pretty easy.

Kromer: Dead in 4-5 turns lol, has a big scary evade die but is a complete glass cannon once you get through it.

e: oh I forgot The Fox: Actually a pretty fun fight, numbers are big enough to be threatening but not ridiculous and the umbrellas lend themselves to more strategic EGO use than throwing them at giant numbers

He might not be forced into it, but she targets him with the duel start if he's around, but you might be able to redirect it.

I've built my MD2 team specifically to win a damage race with this rear end in a top hat. All the Gloom EGO, all of them T3 or T4, including Rhyme Shank to apply a bunch of sinking and stacks so I can pour on even more damage with that. I might lose a character a turn, but it's not living to see turn 4.

Whilst most of the fights (if not all?) are of new abnormalities, or at least aberrations, do you think we'll get any of the old ones back eventually. Off the top of my head the Magical Girls, Oz Group and Apocalypse Birds would make for appropriately interesting group fights.

The idea of fighting The Road Home where you have to take out Warm-Hearted Woodsman and Scarecrow seeking Knowledge before you can defeat her (and you cannot stop Scaredy Cat at all) sounds potentially fun. Although they might also be avoiding repeats from Library in terms of fights I guess.

Given that the Abnormalities themselves are currently located well outside of the City's limits, I think that we're probably going to see E.G.O but no actual fights against them.

But also I have already been proven an absolute nonce at least once so maybe they'll get desperate if they don't make enough numbers who knows.

Oh yeah, the ones from Library of Ruina would be in the Library wouldn't they. Although you could always present Angela releasing the invited enemies as accidentally releasing some abnormalities too. Also we could get aberrations of those abnormalities. I'd be down for the Sentai Ranger Team version of the Magical Girls for example.

Also I think at minimum the Apocalypse Bird should show up if we ever deal with a facility in District A B or C because well, it is meant to be representative of the Head.

Aren't Sunshower Heathcliff and Spicebush Yi Sang technically both Dongbaek?

Hmmm, fair. I was thinking of Spicebush Yi Sang as closer in nature to One Who Shall Grip Sinclair. Where it is a "bad end" of the character rather than them swapping places with another character. Especially since Spicebush Yi Sang is more successful(?) than Dongbaek was. Whilst Sunshower Heathcliff is attached to the other EGO wearing Identities.

In fact I think that is an important difference, Sunshower Heathcliff is wearing an EGO suit, like Slosh Ishmael and Talisman Sinclair. Spicebush Yi Sang has actually attained the EGO in full.

Edit: That is an interesting thought in general. Some of the OOO Identities are "What if Sinner had this other persons life" and some are, whilst still connected to another character, "What if this Sinner's life had gone differently but in a way connected to their backstory." N Corp Sinclair and G Corp Gregor both feel like the latter, whereas Outis Olga and Ishmael Olga the former. Yi Sang could be either option, but the narrative for that identity does feel like it's "his" story, not him taking the place of Dongbaek.

I'm really curious to see how Warp Marlboro numbers will turn out to be, it would be interesting if the damage potential of her third skill will be sky high but with a very tricky charge requirement. Still it's nice to see how much variety there is amongst charge identities~

Also all bets are off for the meaning of Ryoshu's acronyms.

Energy Cycle and Dimensional Demon Edge, Dimensional Rift

The first is a common WARP team attack, and the other is just the name of her passive + the name of another common WARP team attack.

Oh, that reminds me, her Chef ID has three acronyms. "I.H." I can cross reference with the cards from Ruina, revealing that it's "Ingredient Hunt", and given that, her evade skill being "F.I. In Sight", I think that means 'Future Ingridient', but what do you think "P.C." means?

I never had any particular issues with the Bull. If you cannot clash you can bring a tank, but even then there are enough high-roll E.G.O.s in the game that you can Clash quite comfortably even with its big moves.

W Ryoshu seems like W Don Except Better which is a terrifying thought, though no Telepole mitigates that somewhat. I guess this is why Don got those U4 buffs.

I do like the variance in her final skill's HP cost so you can work with it even if you draw it too early. She seems built around stacking as much Charge as possible given how her skills have multiple tiers of boosts. Also that evade die seems hilarious. Only real flaw is those on-kill passives.

W Hong Lu seems like a good W corp team player and seems like he'd work well with patching up W Meur's flaws in particular, those being he's kinda squishy for a tank-type and doesn't generate enough Charge.

K Hong Lu(if his speed holds up) in particular trivializes it, but the main issue with the clash route is that you might not have the resources for the specific EGO or someone might botch a 95% and die.

If you're going to be using W Ryoshu you're also gonna be using W Don, which means that Ryoshu technically has Telepole considering that the Corrosion at T4 gives everyone 12 charge.

W Ryoshu, if she turns out to be really good, doesn't replace W Don. Instead they synergize terrifyingly well.

gatcha players continuing to be the most insane, toxic, lovely parts of the gaming "community"

the project moon community seemed pretty fine until the gatcha started!

this sort of toxicity was inevitable and they were never prepared to be able to stand up to any of the heat that comes from the psychotic coomer chuds that populate pretty much all of the anime titty girl gamble box games. when you get people addicted to their constant dopamine fomo hamster wheel they just become more and more demanding and unreasonable, and add the sunk cost element and it's just a recipe for disaster

this poo poo bums me out so bad, I really loved LobCorp & Ruina... the gatcha just seems inevitable to either a) become the only game they do ever again due to constant content crunch/staffing demands overriding all other focus to pursue the fat mobile hell financial gains or b) collapse of the company with the gatcha going up in flames

They redid the Library of Ruina ending because of Chinese fans review bombing the game.

Also the main reason they decided to do Limbus as a gacha was indeed to make money, specifically to fund the other games. Although obviously the demands on their time are real (and not being managed well).

blaming all this on gacha reeks of cope when the mismanagement and worker mistreatment issues were happening well before Limbus. not to say expanding to that audience didn't exacerbate things, but a lot of this is just chickens coming home to roost.

right but their mismanagement and mistreatment issues come to a way more explosive head when dramatically expanding the scope to something that has infinite time and financial commitments and infinite unreasonable demands from a considerably larger and considerably more financially invested audience they obviously weren't prepared to deal with. i don't see this getting better short of hiring new management who know how to tame a project like this.

but yes absolutely it's cope, i'm just bummed it's unlikely to ever see a non-gacha game from them in the future! even if they make one, it's pretty soured (for me) by all of this.

sorry i said bad things about gacha, I got bad rolls and it gave me psychic damage
