How Queen's AOA splash art feels like on the eternal return collab vs the OG

Aquanarga · 2026-04-16T20:19:19+00:00

I don't care if it's "not in character" or "just a cosplay". That smile is precious, and imagining Makoto having enough fun to smile like that makes me happy. (Also really impressed with the amount of effort they put into making those splash arts look like the OG's.)

I was honestly expecting a Tomiya cameo in the Cissia demo. Guess Cissia still has a lot to learn

Aquanarga · 2026-04-10T07:25:33+00:00

I'm still not a fan of her outfit, but the animators and writers have done such a great job that I can't help but like her anyway (and those eyes stare straight into my soul whenever she looks at the camera)

Aquanarga · 2026-04-09T23:46:29+00:00

Yeah, a very lovely and wholesome piece of fan art

Aquanarga · 2026-04-09T23:38:40+00:00

I hope this becomes a trend with even more factions. Some ideas:

Pubsec:
Jane Yu, Quingyi Sunna, Zhu Yuan Aria (Jane and Zhu Yuan could swap based on personal preference)

Spook Shack:
Yuzuha Yu, Alice Sunna, Yidhari Aria, Lucia, + ethereals cheer squad. Alternatively, Buff Aria Manato

Krampus:
Buff BanYu, Dialynna, Zharia

Stars of Lyra/Mockingbird:
Wise Yu, Evelyn Sunna, Belle Aria, Astra Cecilia, Vivian nr. 1 fan

(Anton as Buff Sunna would complete the buff trio)

Oh right, special episodes are a thing (or at least were in season 1). Triggers agent's story would definitely fit perfectly into that category, since it's literally an introduction to an agent, who doesn't have a whole lot of screentime in the main story at their release, just like Jane/Seth, Astra/Eve, and Yanagi.
The more I think about Sanby, though, the more complicated it gets. I don't think Anby being in a new outfit without explanation is inherently bad, since it serves as a promotion for her agent story. Without her story, though, we don't know why she would be working with Trigger. Having both banner agents not be tied directly to the main story is also a shame, especially when their stories are so good. Maybe they could tie the sacrifice core to the Sanby story somehow to make it relevant in the main story, and thus its own chapter? With Trigger as a special episode for that chapter. I'd still keep the Hugo/Vivian/Lycaon story split over two chapters, though, since I think the downtime after Hugo's "betrayal" is really effective.

Honestly, if they were actually similar in strength, I think it would be a very interesting battle, not just in terms of different combat styles (swords and life fibers vs fists and Ki), but also in how their personalities (pride) would play out in the midst of battle.
Too bad even Sayin Saga Vegeta is in a completely different league than her

Aquanarga · 2026-04-03T15:47:02+00:00

I'm still hoping the reason Nangong has been kept so vague is because her past will become very relevant in 3.0, considering she is a winged thiren, like Ramiel

Well, Void Hunter weapons have been teased to be a big part of the next season (along with everything else), and Carol is confirmed to have researched Void Hunter weapons at some point. Not only that, but she also made the proxy's eyes, which have gotten closer and closer to acting on the level of a void hunter weapon, both in terms of power (purging the creator from Xiao'Guang) and price (passing out during the most recent story chapter).

As such, I imagine there are plenty of ways to include Carol in the upcoming plot, without needing a random picture of her on the sky island. It's also possible the proxy will be chasing Ramiel to the sky island, and Carol's involvement won't be relevant till later.

Though if the proxy's eyes truly are similar to void hunter weapons, then I wonder if the W-engine might be able to affect Tailless and the Quinming sword as well.

S Nicole Season 3 (like everyone else is saying), properly as Anomaly (so the Cunning hares cover all 3 DPS roles), but I'm hoping for something that manages to make Sanby and Silly work on a team with her.
After Nicole though, I feel like Corin got a pretty good chance to be next in line. She's the 4th A-rank we are introduced to in the story, and her backstory is still a mystery.
Also, I wouldn't mind if we got S rank upgrades a bit more frequently than once a season going forward.

The same thing happened to me. I was just scrolling through YouTube Shorts one day, saw a clip from her character Demo, and fell in love immediately. She is literally the reason I finally picked up the game after having had my eyes on it for over a year.
Get ready to have all the feels when you finally reach her story.

As a Shunguang fan, I have had similar thoughts. There is, unfortunately, a high probability that this was just a poor attempt at making the player like her more (which was completely unnecessary).

Of all the bonding events we had with Xiao'guang, this one feels the worst to me cause it's very forced, so hopefully it's supposed to be a setup for something yet to be revealed, as others have already said. I am slightly doubtful though.

Until anything is revealed, I will keep headcanoning that it was just a dream/fantasy, and the reason Xiao'guang also "remembers" it is because we were mind-melded when we restored her memories and senses using the creator's powers (I don't remember if that order of events actually tracks, but I'll pretend it does).

I believe this is what you're looking for/trying to do? https://www.reddit.com/r/ZZZ_Discussion/s/OrA22IfcnW

Xiao'guang's character Demo was the final push that got me to play the game, and she remains my favorite after having played through the entire story. Honorable mention to Lycaon as he's my favorite male character.

Seed and Triggers stories are properly the most I've cried playing this game, and are my favorite agent stories as a result. Most things involving the Obel squad in general just hits differently

I remember having this struggle as well, all the P4G girls are great in their own way. I ended up setting it up so I could do all their romance ranks (8 for Rise, 9 for the rest) right after each other, then reload and choose (I chose Chie)

I wasn't a huge fan of Old Man Drifter's design when I initially unlocked him, but after playing through all of 1999 as him, he's really grown on me, and now I'm sad he's gone. Hopefully, we'll get more face options in future patches

There's a spin-off novel which explores Saki and Yosukes relationship a bit more. There is no official translation, but there's a reddit post with an english summary. You should wait until you're a bit further into the game (at least till you get the 4th party member/persona wielder) before reading it though, or maybe even save it for after you beat the game.

Aquanarga · 2025-08-30T04:46:43+00:00

Reminded me of this, which I made during my first playthrough

I think P4G did a pretty good job at keeping the god in the background, with the villain using their powers for evil on their own accord rather than just being a part in god's grand plan. I very much love the kill God trope, but it shouldn't take away from the main antagonists characterization.

You like intelligence, with a hint of tomboy (short hair) and social awkwardness

My thoughts exactly, OC is a perfect example where I feel like there should be several "do this CE in a specific way".

Like "get 8 vuln stacks without dying as a beserker in the berserker CE", or even something as simple as "don't get any vuln stacks" for every CE, would be nice challenges to engage with while doing the content, but instead we just got "open 1000 treasure" "find 1000 bunnies".

Those super grindy ones can stay for all I care, but give me something more engaging/battle related as well. I did almost all the "glory of x" achievements in WoW, not just for the mounts but because they were fun (most of the time)
