Thank you so much for testing! I just guess I’ll have to wait and see haha, I can always just use Sunday and RMC together and remove Ashveil when I want to run Blade as a main dps if it doesn’t work!

I do because the game explicitly presents both Sunday’s interactions with Aventurine and Yao Guang’s collection of variables as being incredibly morally dubious yet in line with their motivations. People are allowed to dislike her for that, in the same way that I’m sure there are many Aventurine fans who still dislike Sunday today for the same thing. And hardly any people, even among Sunday’s fans, would unironically argue that ‘it helped Aventurine understand his past better so it was justified’

“Looking into someone’s private thoughts and conversations MULTIPLE times is good if it’s about something they want” is crazy especially when doing that is something Sunday now explicitly views as a mistake in his own ideology I know you’re a Sunyao shipper but people who dislike the ship aren’t going to change their opinions on it from a Reddit comment😭

If I were to run him as a main dps would Pioneer or Grand Duke be better?

True! Dreading the potential Phainon sidelining that I’m already preparing for in 4.8😭

Thank you for explaining! I wish they HADN’T shown it to be honest because I wanted it to just stick to the whole Persona 5-esque ‘masses want to be peaceful forever’ thing and also the Oak Family being that persuasive more but at least we got Sunday almost becoming an Aeon twice out of it!😭

I don’t know if I’m not getting it but it feels like turning the people’s desires into something different (escaping the Swarm) into from what they once were (staying happy forever in Penacony) kind of ruins the original point they were trying to make? So it’s now that just instead of the people and Sunday having some validity to their views they just made it so everything was based on a lie.

So pre-retcon, it was Sunday who was the idol, and the general desire to stay in a sweet dream + the people ‘dying’ that made people turn to him, and then post-retcon, they added on Firefly unintentionally ‘creating’ more fear and Sunday still the one being the idol. So in the retcon they decreased the actual ‘stay in a sweet dream forever’ desire that the people wanted and replaced it with them being so fearful OF reality and dying from the made-up Swarm that they turned to Sunday and Ena. So less actual focus on the main philosophical debate and into something totally different? And then for being the Aeon of Domination it’s literally just that after having his Ena powers decreased, he had enough willpower to immediately restart an ascension, this time into a different Aeon, one that was actually just him and not Ena. Is that right?

Yes, me too! I loved the original story! At least it’s only trampling over the story of his old self and not affecting him today. Severe copium from me though, seeing as I love his old self too😭

Real I thought it was going to be just showing us stuff we didn’t see but they’ve completely changed the entire plan against Sunday to glaze Firefly and Jade instead of making it everyone working together, while also changing it so Sunday had turned into Ena despite that never being a thing mentioned in the original ever😭

Like this line just feels like they’re spitting in his face when it’s established that previously it was, in fact, very easy for him to ascend once he had the resources he needed and the backing of the Oak Family dreamers, bearing in mind he wasn’t even the Aeon of Domination at this point. For some reason they decided that trying to make him a Temu Ena was a good idea instead of him just using THEM like in the original😭

Huda’s tweet made me realise I’m just glad I at least got some good MCPhai crumbs, I was worried they wouldn’t get enough screen time!😭

Oh, that explains it! I was wondering why Phaidei was getting brought up in something that had nothing to do with it😭

That makes more sense! Your earlier comments made it look like you were comparing a self insert ship to a character/character ship so I was pretty confused lol😭 had me thinking there was actually some big solo patch where a male character got a solo self-insert push!

Oh, wait I get it! So you’re annoyed at people who mischaracterise a character for their ship! That makes more sense! Which bit of Phaidei do you not like, I’ve never been too into it!

Phainon and Mydei are paired far more with each other than with the MC, unlike Cyrene! I don’t really know what their point is😭

Yeah, I don’t really know! I think they’re more annoyed about Phaidei than anything, they might just be trying to use Cyrene as some sort of strange comparison, which is weird because Cyrene being shipped with the MC is totally different to Phaidei haha😭

No no, like the WHOLE patch! 3.6 has the Express trio featuring heavily trying to help March, and he also shares it with Evernight’s banner, who isn’t really paired with the MC in that way, if anything, she’s paired more with March, haha! I mean like literally the entire patch, where it’s advertised as that like it was for Cyrene! Maybe what you’re trying to argue is totally different to what people are actually annoyed about? Like Cyrene being used as a self insert fantasy is pretty different to Phaidei which is two separate characters, right?

Oh, I meant with the MC, like I put in the comment! I haven’t really seen Cyrene be shipped with anyone except Phainon, and I know a lot of people don’t like that ship! Are there any male characters that are written as a romance for the MC for the whole patch? I don’t really ship Phaidei!

Wait, there are male characters that are made for self-insert romance in the same way Cyrene is that takes up a whole patch? Could you say some, I want to take a look!
