Given that we'll be going to a big fancy party in Canto 6... who is expecting the "Who here can dance" gag from Canto 2 to return in some form/capacity or at least get called back to

I forget who but one of the lady Sinners claimed ballroom dancing knowledge. So I'm pretty sure Dante is gonna slow dance with them or Heathcliff.

actually trying to use g corp gregor for rupture will probably end poorly for your count. Being worthless outside of one specific ego is uh. not something i would bring along to teambuilding.

There's a consideration to bringing twinhook to the BL+Cap ish team, though, i've had him land slowest there

Two ego. AEDD is also amazing for rupture teams.

Faust claimed to have full technical knowledge of dancing but no passion to go with it.

Yeah the answers in order were

Dante: Knows what dance is but has no memory of any specific types
Hong Lu: Does know how, but it's a fancy type of dance with too many requirements
Heath: Steps on people's feet
Yi Sang: FEAR
Ishmael: lived on a ship for most of her life
Don: enthusiastic to dance but the mariachi said it lacked meaning or something to that effect
Ryoshu: would literally kill it on the dance floor
Outis: Only did morning exercises at roll call
Rodion: Embarassed to dance
Gregor: Afraid arm would go berserk
Meursault: stays completely silent
Faust: Knows the knowledge, but would lack passion
Sinclair: is the solution

Oh heads up, PM casually dropped in the update notes that Gregor's new EGO is a season 3 item, despite it having nothing to do with anything in season 3. So you'll have a handful of weeks to get up enough boxes for it before it's gone for several months.

I knew it wasn't going to be some random standard banner WAW EGO. Thankfully I had some shard crates stored.

Only downside is that now I don't think I'm able to get the Soup EGO for Sinclair and 4MF for Yi-Sang from S1. Hoping they stay available next season too.

Season 1 stuff should be permanently available by now, they only rotate out the last season stuff.

Maybe that's why she lacks true heart, as the Syndicate said. Something is holding it back so she doesn't distort.

thoughts on the hand ego:
on one hand (aheh), an extra 1/2 sin damage/sin power up is nice, and having it go over to next turn at 6+ absolute resonance is even better.
it even throws in a nice chunk of healing for the team, always welcome.
...But it's also a hungry ego gift wanting 2 of everything. should be great for mirror dungeons, but a bit trickier to use outside of em. will have to see how it feels in practice to get a good idea where its at

unfortunately that 6+ necessitates a Lust team which means uh just Liu, and Kurokumo if they ever get their poo poo together but there's not really enough design space left for that given that they have to share with lineage.

also 14 resources is an absurd cost, for that much investment it should be blind obsession levels of do everything at once

Out of interest, how does the game handle these kinds of scenes if you are not up to date? Like if I was still in Canto 4, what would have happened today? Would I get the scene? Would it activate once I cleared Canto 5? Would I just be out of luck and simply wouldn't get it at all?

Extrapolating from this notice and a general vibe recollection, the cutscene won't play until you're up to date on the story from when it dropped, but it will play when you do catch up.

going by her character preview she just seems to be in really strong denial about something or other. dunno if that's distortionable or not since distortions are more about embracing the worst parts of yourself rather than Seeing Some poo poo on it's own.

Considering that Don's friends would punch her when she got out of control (Canto 2) and the new found method to prevent someone from distorting (Canto 5.5?) I bet you Don did in fact distort, or got close to it.

don's denial is kinda different from a distortion's though. distortions are all about how [hosed up thing about myself or others] is actually Fine while Don is just extremely wrong about how just Fixers are

had a vision of the Limbus Company Abridged moment that only exists in my head:

Dante: Okay, go through your basic character traits really fast.
Gregor: PTSD.
Rodion: I'm depressed, but I cover it up with hedonism!
Sinclair: Anxiety.
Yi Sang: Depression, but it's really obvious.
Ishmael: Constant simmering anger.
Heathcliff: Constant boiling anger.
Don Quixote: I'M DELUSIONAL
Hong Lu: I'm delusional too, but in a completely different way.
Ryoshu: I just like murder.
Meursault: Autism.
Outis: I am perfectly competent and completely normal, and will not betray you in anyway, Manager-sama!
Faust: Autism as well, but I'm perfect at masking.

Our first Öufi Association, Heathcliff, they've got a weird halberd type weapon, 2/2/3 coins, big ribbon.

Remind me, how many people do we have that are Section 3 IDs? As far as I remember, this Heathcliff ID is the highest up on the ranks from the people we've seen so far, but I'm not confident on that.
