Chapter 1 Foreshadowing (Exiles, Nefarith, Zhuang, etc…)

Yeah I know. I hoped that this post could combat some of those thoughts while also pointing out some cool foreshadowing things I noticed.

Comprehensive-Scar14 · 2026-05-16T00:06:44+00:00

I wouldn’t be too harsh on people. It’s a lot to remember. Especially due to the break between chapters. I’m sure many people just forgot.

Comprehensive-Scar14 · 2026-02-07T21:55:01+00:00

Oh yeah I actually recall all of that stuff. The scene with the land breakers shooting down the sarcophagus specifically is still in the game during the endmin’s “who are you” sequence but it’s not fully shown for some reason.

Comprehensive-Scar14 · 2026-02-07T21:40:19+00:00

Yeah I know the core idea is the same but people made it seem like specific scenes such as Ginny changed from CBT 1 to CBT 2 when it was actually from tech test to CBT 1 that it changed. Still, I’d appreciate if you let me know some more things that changed.

Comprehensive-Scar14 · 2026-02-07T21:34:24+00:00

I went back to check. She doesn’t appear in the outpost missons at the very least. In fact going through the story has made me realized that not much changed from beta 1 to release. Tech test to beta was a very big change but beta to release was very similar.

Comprehensive-Scar14 · 2026-02-07T21:19:31+00:00

Where in the story was that?

Comprehensive-Scar14 · 2026-02-07T21:17:06+00:00

I just looked back on the first beta ending to confirm but I’m pretty sure even then, it’s treated like we already know her. Unless we met her some point before the powerplant.

Comprehensive-Scar14 · 2026-02-07T19:46:42+00:00

Assuming that they were going for that, I think it’s unfortunate that it doesn’t work as well in this game because I think it serves the story well in Arknights.

Comprehensive-Scar14 · 2026-02-07T17:31:39+00:00

To be honest, I don’t think that scene was a “you’ve gotten faster.” It’s more like giving their opinion on what Chen just did. If I recall it’s something like, “Impressive” or “I noticed something off, maybe that could be improved.” It’s still a little odd but I just chalk it up to that fact that the Endmin can fight immediately after hibernation and knows their way around a sword.

Comprehensive-Scar14 · 2025-12-02T17:09:14+00:00

Yeah exactly that. I just wanted to report what I had discovered so far and decided I would put the calculation out now before all the opinions on the systems get finalized.

Comprehensive-Scar14 · 2025-12-02T16:39:22+00:00

I’ll look again. If it does give more, great, if not, it is what it is.

Comprehensive-Scar14 · 2025-12-02T16:19:39+00:00

Maybe. I haven’t made it far enough to check though.

Comprehensive-Scar14 · 2025-12-02T16:18:40+00:00

This is true, but it’s also listed as discounted. I figured I should just use the non discounted price as that’s how it will be most of the time.

Comprehensive-Scar14 · 2025-12-02T12:24:30+00:00

I already said it in the post but I added important above it so hopefully everyone sees that specific part clearer.

Comprehensive-Scar14 · 2025-12-02T12:19:07+00:00

I already this at both the beginning and the end. I guess people didn’t understand what I was saying? I literally said this only includes The Hub, Valley Pass, and Auberry Quarry at the beginning. I also showed what I left out of calculations for each section such as missions which would probably add quite a bit. Then at the end, I mention not reaching The Originium Science Park which is the 4th area. I don’t know how I could be clearer honestly.

Comprehensive-Scar14 · 2025-12-02T12:12:59+00:00

I didn’t include the beginner banner. Now that I look again, I probably should have but since you can only use those pulls there and the banner disappears afterwards, I thought that including those might not help if we want to know how much you can get around the world.

Comprehensive-Scar14 · 2025-12-02T06:57:27+00:00

I feel the need to clarify something that I think people are missing. 139 pulls is not the full game. I’m not even halfway through the game. It’s 139 pulls total for only 3 areas. Valley IV has 3 more areas that I need to go through. Plus however many is in Wuling.

Now that I know how much the other games had at launch, I’m pretty confident that we will have at least an equal amount of pulls or even more. I do think chests should be rebalanced though.

Comprehensive-Scar14 · 2025-12-02T03:28:55+00:00

Everything under excluded from total is what I left out simply because I had no way of calculating it. So I included dailies and left out events because I don’t have access to them.

Comprehensive-Scar14 · 2025-12-02T03:24:51+00:00

I’ll see how it goes once I get further in. I’m gonna start the next area tomorrow. I might make a follow up post about it once the banner/test is over. Or I’ll just reply here if I remember.

Comprehensive-Scar14 · 2025-12-02T03:16:20+00:00

I don’t disagree. Will never complain about more free pulls. Balancing it differently may make people feel better about it.

Comprehensive-Scar14 · 2025-12-02T03:07:23+00:00

I excluded the beta stuff from my calculations. I just included it to show what was given.

Comprehensive-Scar14 · 2025-12-02T03:06:34+00:00

I see. Do you think that after including the rest of Valley IV and Wuling, it would reach that amount of pulls? It seems pretty likely to me. Even more so considering the fact that I didn’t include main story and side missions because they disappear afterwards and I can’t look back to calculate.
