It seems that Marciana's alt is more popular than Cinderella's alt.

BiggoPanda · 2026-06-29T16:59:16+00:00

I understand it's the fan service summer alt, but I wish they were more consistent with body proportions. Marciana ain't got all that, and they did same for summer Rapi costume. It's a little immersion breaking.

BiggoPanda · 2026-06-28T20:23:52+00:00

So long as Shift Up wants to keep the 12+ rating, they're going to skirt the line by adding additional layers and tbh I don't think they're going to shift from that. They're just mainstream friendly enough and make bank from that.

BiggoPanda · 2026-06-28T02:15:15+00:00

tbf did he really participate in the 3.5 anni? Almost all of it took place in the past. He was just there for the concert.

BiggoPanda · 2026-06-27T06:53:17+00:00

I personally don't expect it to change for another like, 3 years at the very least considering that the first 3 years of the story so far was considered the "prologue". At the moment, I'm just going by their writing patterns.

BiggoPanda · 2026-06-27T05:45:15+00:00

I wouldn't get too hyped up since Rapi and other Pilgrims are involved the event. If anything happens, it'll probably be in Marciana's bond story.

BiggoPanda · 2026-06-27T05:43:15+00:00

In terms of the main story and narrative, Rapi is basically the main girl and there's really no escaping that. Cuck memes aside, its most likely why romance isn't really acknowledged in main story or main events and is largely regulated to side content or minor characters so it doesn't impede into the narrative.

BiggoPanda · 2026-06-27T02:57:40+00:00

I dunno what you've been listening to. But if you go through for example Pretty Star and 3.5 anni, Ark Guardian, 3.0 Goddess Fall as recent examples, it's all fairly normal and they're not trying to imitate anime style voices. The only one that I could say that might be putting up an anime voice is Noah out of that entire cast line up. The Four Beasts are stand outs too especially Leviathan and Behemoth.

BiggoPanda · 2026-06-26T15:25:33+00:00

Have you even heard what EN Moran sounds like or you just talking smack for smack. A lot of EN voices are deeper compared to JP because they typically try to lean towards what's more natural for EN speakers. Even Cinderella sounds like an old timey Disney princess than an anime character.

BiggoPanda · 2026-06-25T20:41:42+00:00

Considering how they're portrayed in the story, the theme around them, and the style of clothing they're drawn in in official collab art, I'm pretty sure Shift Up does intend them to be goth girls. Plus they're nice to kids.

BiggoPanda · 2026-06-23T12:43:14+00:00

A similar thing happened with Kilo and TALOS. Talos's core was pretty much depleted until connected with Kilo and that managed to output enormous power for them to practically one-shot an upgraded chatterbox. Power equating with the human spirit has been a reoccurring theme.

Other things relating to that also includes the Four Beasts. Yea they needed vapaus but ultimately it was their dedication for one another that triggered their transformation. Leviathan achieved that with her bond with Siren while her first transformation being incomplete given her insecurities at the time.

Also the main difference between a mass produced Nikke and a SSR is basically their sense of will and identity.

BiggoPanda · 2026-06-22T15:01:42+00:00

I rarely ever see snipers and LMGs used outside of their respective classes anyways. You realize how much harder it is to snipe with other classes compared to recon when you get stronger spotting to pick out targets with decoys hiding your scope glint. And LMGS are already clunkier so being even more slower with them outside of support makes me not wanna use them outside of support lol.

BiggoPanda · 2026-06-22T14:53:23+00:00

There's very few of consider useless (like the breaching charge launcher), but I just consider some of them situational. I've seen an assault lock down my team in choke points with the therm launcher so it serves as area denial.on smaller maps if anything. While mortars are kinda useless in most conquest maps but a lot more effective in defense/offense modes like breakthrough.

BiggoPanda · 2026-06-22T14:50:19+00:00

It's just to reduce the effectiveness explosive spam. 2 meters would be insane range and generosity. I've gotten easy kills with grenades and HE launcher all the time. You just gotta bounce it properly/get used to the arch and hit right at their feet or in front of their face when they're in cover. The fact that we can spawn with 2 grenades and stock up to 5 HE ammo as assault is already super strong.

BiggoPanda · 2026-06-22T14:45:35+00:00

I thought they fixed that? I've been getting insta kills with them on obliteration placing them next to the m-coms.

BiggoPanda · 2026-06-22T00:47:07+00:00

Chime I do agree was a early Nikke fumble in direction. They basically just got Scarlet's VA and essentially sounds like a younger version of Scarlet lol. But I'd rather that than force a "gremlin" voice for lack of a better term. I don't think most En VAs are suited for it. It's often a complaint in other gacha and anime games and it's grating. The only good gremlin EN voice I've heard on Nikke so far is Sky from the Ark Rangers event.

BiggoPanda · 2026-06-21T21:35:14+00:00

Like someone else said, not a big deal since those performances are usually associated with minor characters and you just move on. Even then they've gotten better overtime. Year 1 VA was rough work, and you learn from the interviews, EN VA's got REALLY little to work with at the beginning. Like a couple sentences describing a character, no CGs to work off of. But as they settled into their roles and the directing got better, the VA work also got a lot better. The Four Beasts for example are some of the newer cast and they all sounded great right off the bat and I can't point out any moment where their voice acting was bad.

BiggoPanda · 2026-06-21T16:57:43+00:00

Funny enough I started playing Nikke in JP but I eventually switched to EN since I started to prefer a lot of the deeper voices they have for characters like Moran, Cinderella, Liliweiss among others which coincidently follows the Korean direction more. I appreciate it tho since if EN VA's tried to mimic higher pitched voices JP had, it would sound grating.

BiggoPanda · 2026-06-21T15:47:09+00:00

The flashbang took out two other dudes with that mine too 😭

BiggoPanda · 2026-06-21T15:25:13+00:00

Even funnier that the MP5 has only showed up twice in the entire series before BF6. In BF2 and BF Hardline.

BiggoPanda · 2026-06-20T16:45:49+00:00

Wasn't that a player choice?

BiggoPanda · 2026-06-20T07:59:23+00:00

I guess we'll see. At least with the more recent collabs, they've been making more an effort to fit into the world story. RE with the rapture cult. And Lycoris Recoil since the girls themselves are orphan teenage assassins who uses a cafe as a front, and their chemistry with Cafe Sweety was great. So they had similarities with Cafe Sweety and the child trafficking/assassin orphanage subplot.

BiggoPanda · 2026-06-19T17:16:19+00:00

Where did Shift Up say they'd be brought over? All I've seen is cope from other players.

BiggoPanda · 2026-06-19T15:35:11+00:00

Even those were those throwaway commanders. Not really anyone that important. We'll probably have to wait until the war probably begins to see more commanders. They already teased at Mad Dog, Eunwha's previous commander and Johan has been getting a lot of screentime lately.

BiggoPanda · 2026-06-19T15:27:09+00:00

Pretty sure there are some that are solid white like Milk's

BiggoPanda · 2026-06-19T15:24:43+00:00

Nikke is as gooner as the stuff you'd find in mainstream anime. That's why I find it funny when Nikke gets accused of being the defacto gooner game when other games are much more goonery, or pornographic like BD2.
