Sampo's VA is bad but he's probably the best ice planet character so far.

Anyway getting into this and man if this was a weird AA PS4 rpg it'd be totally my jam but all the games as a service stuff like the need for grinding and time gating poo poo is a shame even though i've played enough mobile games to be mostly fine with it. You can tell the devs are passionate about making a jrpg (game has a surprising amount of Trails influence so you know they aren't just chasing whats popular) and there's a lot of fun touches all over but sorta disappointing a game that has a lot of promise probably wont be able to fully realise it due to these current industry trends. Still having a good time though. The main party's a lot of fun.

Wind feels the most thematic to the Hunt which is why they're probably going to blindside us with Imaginary or something.

I mean, doubt they're gonna double up with Dan Heng

Just like how Seele's banner had characters from the undeground on rate up i'm guessing his will have the Luofu 4 stars + 1 extra.

So i'm not familiar with Genshin or similar gacha but i'm caught up with the launch content and what's the general loop like once you've gotten through all quests? How long is it usually between main story chapters and is there regular story events or anything in the meantime or is it just grinding and roguelike runs?

In genshin's case:

There are a few limited time events per patch. Usually, one larger event with a decent amount of story and the others are smaller and more gameplay-focused.
Each patch is about 6 weeks, split up into two limited banners that are 3 weeks each.
Each patch has new story content of some kind, be it main story or side story stuff.
Each patch also introduces new side quests and other gameplay content, like new areas, bosses, etc.

We can assume this will be similar.

I guess that's not awful. Glad there's a couple of events coming in before the next patch probably. I was hoping I wouldn't just be running the SU for a month or however long it takes for new stuff to be added.

I have Bailu, but this is the biggest reason I want to use Natasha over her. I love Raven.

Bailu has only had one scene but Natasha seems way cooler. Obviously Natasha is the way to go.

Honestly I'm a little afraid though that when we start getting new characters from old planets (like Serval and Gepard's little sister) we're also going to get pointless diversions in the main story just to introduce them.

Not familiar with how Genshin does it but even after finishing Belobog i didn't feel like the whole story was tied up in a neat bow. Seemed to me that seeing how Belobog continues on in the future would be a probable future event, or several events. And that's a solid way to introduce new pals imo.

Serval seems to figure out on her own that right to the end Cocolia remained a jerk and probably didn't have a sudden change of heart into martyring herself.

I don't know anything about Honkai but Himeko seems like a mysterious hot lady who is always perhaps a little too calm and confident and also has an exploding chainsaw suitcase and a satellite laser grid.

So she seems pretty rad.

I looked deep within my soul and decided I wanted 4*s now instead of 5*s later.

And I got them so can now save for Kafka or more likely test my luck next time there's an imaginary unit on banner.

I got a follow up text after those scenes where she's like "I realised Mei is actually really capable and also kinda like family to me so I have decided to renew her contract".

Sampo's funny.

Anyway this event was kinda free? Lower difficulty than most content in the game although I guess maybe it doesn't scale with equilibrium like most other stuff does. Hope its not the only event for this half of the banner.

Seriously though, I feel like they've been designated as edgy antiheroes purely by vibes, since we never actually see them doing anything worse than we do. Which is how the game handles a lot of characterization, come to think of it.

Edge is in fact pretty much just a vibe.

The Stellaron Hunters are super criminals with massive bounties that Are Not To Be Trusted so we must always deal with them with crossed arms and accusatory tones but also like I dunno that's very "cool antihero" to me which is how they're being presented.

Being edgy antiheroes I bet the only crimes on their massive bounties are "being assholes" and "gleefully flaunting the law"
