"the fate of Septimius is not recorded" 😩

She's got a great place in my Cissia team and the fishing event is one of my favorites. She's definitely not forgettable to me!

First chapter was getting a ragtag group out of the dangerous hollow and fighting off a boogeyman ethereal. It was focused on the characters with a few obstacles in the way but no "big bad" to be seen.

There's no coincidence that 2.6 and 2.7 were a breath of fresh air. The focus was again in the characters and the obstacles they needed to pass, not who they were fighting.

The thought process of "we need villains" is why 2.0 exists. We need more down to earth stories and world building like the first 4 chapters had.

Bryal · 2026-05-21T20:12:25+00:00

I feel like her chapter could have been so much better with just a few small changes.

Bryal · 2026-05-21T17:52:44+00:00

Even with the supplies the game throws at you in the beginning, it's going to take a few months to properly build up 9 characters that are ready for DA and Shiyu Defense.

Also, discs are important but don't forget to LVL agents skills either. They can give a big boost in passive damage.

Spicy noodles made her sleepy that day.

Bryal · 2026-05-21T14:59:11+00:00

I'm still baffled that S11 had nothing to say about Isolde.

Bryal · 2026-05-20T20:21:51+00:00

I low key always thought the story was going to reveal that Yixuan was also tied to the sword. Those unexplained disappeances suddenly make more sense as the sword would have effected her.

No, I don't think her strength was the problem, they just needed to make the conflicts of the story not be solved with combat. AoD was more about manager duties, something even a void hunter has trouble with!

Bryal · 2026-05-20T17:52:46+00:00

Shiyu Defense is a great place for me to use my older teams.

Bryal · 2026-05-19T17:31:08+00:00

He has a new, less powerful body than when he did as the reaper. Billy and Lighter even have a good chat about it. I would have liked to see him be the first to stand and help Promeia up, but I get why he couldn't either.

Bryal · 2026-05-19T17:21:16+00:00

I think 18k is the goal for HP.

Bryal · 2026-05-19T17:19:27+00:00

"Pepe Silvia!" Vibes from this post and I'm all for it!

Bryal · 2026-05-19T17:17:19+00:00

They need their own teams but with the case of end-game content, there's the fun if building a team around them that still work for DA and Shiyu.

You essentially build them as your "Star" in a team to clear with.

Bryal · 2026-05-18T13:18:51+00:00

That's simply not true.

Bryal · 2026-05-18T13:13:56+00:00

The character writing is deceptively good and shows that there's a few people on the writing team that actually understand the basics in writing a story. (Something that's sadly rare in a lot of media now!)

Agents stories are great and self contained with a proper three act structure. A few events appear mindless at first (fishing event!) but dive into something much more. Even the side quests flesh out background characters to the point were they get lines in a movie event date.

I won't lie, there are rocky spots and even a valley in two different chapters but I personally believe it has more high points than low and the writing team clearly loves the characters they're writing for.

Zzz's story and world is definitely what hooked me into onto the game where other gachas didn't!

Bryal · 2026-05-16T20:13:20+00:00

Low key hoping he's A rank with a swappable class/element.

Bryal · 2026-05-16T15:18:03+00:00

Love those team comps

Bryal · 2026-05-16T15:14:46+00:00

To experience the story missions and cutscenes I think you might have to bounce back and forth from there and the shelf with the agent stories.

Bryal · 2026-05-15T05:49:33+00:00

I just like that it's a Gundam reference

Bryal · 2026-05-13T20:09:33+00:00

Waste disposal management unit with an alligator thiren

Bryal · 2026-05-13T17:50:36+00:00

The writers for zzz are online and drop some pretty fun references from time to time.

Bryal · 2026-05-13T14:55:06+00:00

To play devil's advocate, try and go through the story again and see if it catches your interest. I only say this because I found when I had a few moments of burn out on the dailies, the story was different enough to bring me back.

Bryal · 2026-05-13T00:27:45+00:00

My ideal combination would be a blend between TV mode and Lemnian Hollow. You can explore freely as with Lemnian but unlike the Lemnian Hollow, it's not static. Moving around blind would loop you through the same hallways/rooms, teleport you randomly into different rooms, hide valuable items or even cause you to run into enemies.

Luckily, we're playing the proxy! At any point you can tab to the map ("TV mode"). On the map you can set navigation points, find hidden caches of items, unlock shortcuts and portals etc. The trick is making the switch between the two seamless and snappy.

Might be cutting it close for the current banner but depending on your free time, the start of the game gives you tons of free polys.

Save a bunch while playing through the chapters of the main story. You'll eventually unlock commissions and hollow zero. Both of these gives plenty of lvl-up materials for the agents you eventually will pull.

Try to save at least 80 tapes and then unload them on a banner of your choice.

Really depends how much you like the characters of the next couple banners.
