I'm trying to figure who are Chisa's parents (assuming she's closely related to the EOV LP cast).
She's clearly gone gallivanting in an Yggdrasil Labyrinth or another, so her parents have to be people strong enough to stroll through the Empyreal Bridge, or at least they can call in favors with Archon. The Star Devourer being currently busy devouring dirt five light-years under doesn't hurt to be fair.

Raven and Mio should be out because they're in another corner of the multiverse, hopefully one without a 7th Dragon's dragon infestation; Magda and Kaelin "smugbert"? I've got nothing otherwise.

I was originally going to ask if this one was the one with Miku in it, then the update posted the trailer so question answered.
Kinda hope the other two characters survived. Yes I know big guy declared only Chisa survived :(

New questionably sane people who can piledrive monsters friends :stoked:. It's like Chisa never left Iorys. Go get them dragons girl.


Pour one for Mugen and Kyoshiro. And by pour one I mean, in addition to the standard, to cut the chief dragon into ribbons for them.


E: does it count as a Chuuni phase if you really did school an interstellar threat with your Great Scythe of Cold Ash before getting isekai'd on Earth with an alternate past to make you fit in?

You'd think Chisa would remember the "gardener" weirdo the second time she met him but I guess the isekai memory fuckery prevented that making both of those meetings the first one, from her point of view.
Now I wonder if mr. gardener there is the final boss or a concerned third party wanting to cut down on this bloom/dragonsbane infestation. Probably the first.

I was wondering what Mio would be doing, but then I remembered a couple spoilers about 2020 Hatsune Miku is playable, or at least her class is, so idol singer Mio is go.

I finished tearing through 2020 data (though not II) for Kinu to the point where 2020 is now basically an open book, so she and Rea should have a lot more info on the back end now.

Speaking of which guess what, the Samurai buff over time skills are bugged! The data table is misaligned. Normally the turn 1 values (which are stuck at 1x) are there as dummy values as casting it on the first turn doesn't do anything. Unfortunately, the turn 2 effect starts off at the turn 1 column instead! Meaning that on the turn after you cast the buffs... you get no benefit. And have to wait for the turn after that for them to start kicking in. And because 1 of the turns is accidentally wasted, the effect cuts off at the turn 9 column instead of the turn 10 column, making these skills worse than intended.

This bug was not fixed in II.

A court reporter just has to type what other people say and they use a lot of pre-defined shortenings.
So yeah, 260 WPM when in an active combat zone and doing proactive creative programming instead of reactive transcription is kinda insanely fast.

The hack into luvshock CC is already worth a party slot alone, because guaranteed stun working on even bosses is insane, nevermind the luvshock/curse combo and the good support suite.

Croix is one of the best viewpoint characters (Cloche is the actual main character in the plot) simply on how sensible he is. Jacqli is the best but like Junpei said her route doesn't make very sense with the plot as laid out (the Cloche/Luca scenes progress too quickly before Jacqli joins).


Miku? Miku. It's one of the things I knew about this game.
Is she supposed to be an human in the 2020 reality or are we going to get an explanation on how vocaloids got incarnated? From how Mio reacted I don't think it's the first option.

Chisa has a full Yggdrasil labyrinth worth of experience to keep it cool under pressure, capped off by capping the Star Devourer with her Great Scythe of Cold Ash*.

Koron is probably too busy getting trolled by Satsuki to be flapped by anything else.

That went better than what I was dreading in a lot of things.

Amongst the horror, gotta pour one for Taichi. Bravest little dude does his part, and his reward is almost getting killed by Chisa and then forcibly forgotten because his mere mention triggers her PTSD something fierce.
Until directly contradicted by the narrative, I'm going to believe he really hit off with Touko in the aftermath because give me a silver lining for best little brother please.

That happened. Like Chisa needed even more trauma. Or Mio.

Have we already seen Emille? In this game I mean, we know she knows about Santa Claus.
I think I'll have to re-read the LP, was the dormant imperial under Shibuya a known issue or does Chisa know because of whatever the Gardener did to her?
(My speculation is that she's been made into an imperial dragon. Or possibly the tier higher)
