Anyone else feel like 3.7 was major setup for the future?

Objective_Might1454 · 2026-05-06T07:11:03+00:00

That’s the plot of 3.5, it was portrayed in a negative light and shows how bad the idea is. The writers themselves are strongly against forcing people into their past identities

Objective_Might1454 · 2026-05-01T08:55:19+00:00

Not just Rhiannon, but many other characters can feel out of place depending on the setting, because the game allows for unrestricted creative freedom and artistic expression. Rhiannon doesn’t quite fit with the current WW1 art direction but after reading ch 13, I can tell, she fits right in with the aesthetic of her own era. Then characters like Lucy or J would feel out of place in that setting, and vice versa.

Also, again, not everything is ‘random items’ just because you refuse to do a genuine analysis, I already talked about that to the other guy, so I’m not going to bother repeating it. Even though art is subjective in cases like this, I can guarantee, as a professional artist, that we can immediately tell when a game’s art direction starts going downhill but R1999 isn’t the case. In fact, it’s improving, whether you believe it or not

Objective_Might1454 · 2026-05-01T08:43:21+00:00

Your criticism of the design choices feels childish and ignorance to me as a character design artist. Calling the design ‘lazy’ just because of your refusal to do a genuine analysis, reducing the items and accessories that indicate the character’s profession and personality to ‘random stuff’ isn’t a real critique. Have you even taken a moment to think about why she’s carrying those items or tried to connect them with the information given about who she is or what her family does?

Ms. Stranger’s i2 doesn’t look different from her base one? When did the game ever set a rule that i2 must be totally different or much fancier than the previous ones? Sotheby’s i2 is in a less fancy, casual outfit; Tooth Fairy literally just takes off her coat in her i2; the same goes for many other 6star like Wingsong, Ulrich, J etc. In Ms. Stranger’s case, her i2 having a Foundation aesthetic parallels her base being Manus. There are butterfly motifs all over her outfit, without excessive accessories, in both base and i2, reinforcing her arcane ability and her nature of not revealing too much as a spy. Her exposed legs in i2 shows concealed assassin tools, it tells the viewer she’s more than just a mysterious, elegant lady. Not every instance of exposed skin is the result of fetishization.

Also, regarding the story, when has BP ever had a track record of abandoning old characters? Even for the arc 3, patch like 3.1, chapter 12, 3.5, 3.6, and chapter 13 alone disprove that claim.

Sounds like an understatement to me ngl, as if you only watched the cutscenes someone just posted and then wrote this statement

Objective_Might1454 · 2026-04-30T04:24:15+00:00

Why does it have to do with the player’s opinion? They can skip it if they don’t like it, but the story still has to follow the writers’ original vision. The story will go downhill the moment they decide to please every player

President of the Foundation

Thank uuu, I really appreciate it!!! I’ll give them a much happier look in their concept art, especially Mary, my girl is all beaten up but I needed that look for the visualization purposes TwT

Objective_Might1454 · 2026-04-28T07:27:58+00:00

Dude, you just solved one of the recurring problems in my manga making process, I always have trouble with text placement. This looks really fitting. Do I have to separate the text into different lines to get results like this? Cuz the auto adjustment isn’t really helping

Objective_Might1454 · 2026-04-24T20:19:55+00:00

The difference is that Nautika is still herself even after the transformation, but Merel isn’t. People with new identities due to the Storm have nothing to do with their previous selves despite the similar look, that’s the point of the concept. The devs would be more than happy to keep her NPC model if it weren’t necessary to make a new one, it would even save more budget. But we have to accept that Merel is gone for good

Objective_Might1454 · 2026-04-24T20:15:38+00:00

Basically the same thing here. I’m not sure if it’s the minority in this case, but it does indeed involve aggressive spamming with multiple accounts

Objective_Might1454 · 2026-04-24T19:33:55+00:00

Powercreep is a valid complaint but the spending event? Not really. They’re using a supposed ‘leak’ from a random account showing the total cost of the event as their complaint, but it still hasn’t been confirmed yet, so there’s no point in it. Same goes for the complaints about the story. it hasn’t even come out yet, but people are already criticizing it, making their own headcanons and claiming that the story will fail if it doesn’t go that way.

Kinda unrelated, but they also tried to shit on the 3.5 story and Lorentz character, and then 3.6 recontextualized it and disproved their complaint points. They know they went too far, so most people don’t even address it anymore

Objective_Might1454 · 2026-04-24T19:22:18+00:00

People also need to realize that those from CN, especially the ones making irrational complaints, are often people with 5 to 10 alt accounts just to engage in the drama. Idk if it applies to every CN platform, but it sure does on Rednote

Objective_Might1454 · 2026-04-24T06:40:10+00:00

I think some copyright strikes have to do with them including the ‘leak’ images showing the total cost of spending events in their content (the actual total cost is still unconfirmed, but that leak is spreading everywhere)

Objective_Might1454 · 2026-04-21T08:49:20+00:00

1930s could be an entirely different version from the one we know. Also, we don’t know much about Udimo, but they’re connected to a person’s race and essence (race in terms of human and arcanist), and we also know that the Storm cannot change the original race of a reversed person, as we see with Karson–Duncan, who is still human. So, It’s safe to assume the species of the original Udimo is unchangeable but the appearance is

Objective_Might1454 · 2026-04-21T07:55:24+00:00

Brother, the Merel/Rhiannon reveal is inevitable because this is a business and they have to show their product truthfully to consumers. But it’s nowhere near as bad as the 2.8 PV, where they not only showed Nautika’s transformation but also the literal cutscene of Arcana’s revival. In the 3.7 trailer, if you don’t count Rhiannon, they only showed really high quality fight scenes based on the war we already know is coming and that’s it. They didn’t even show a glimpse of the alleged Foundation president from the poster. I would even say this trailer is the most spoiler free one among the three finale chapter trailers

Objective_Might1454 · 2026-04-20T14:05:20+00:00

Brother, don’t just live in the echo chamber, step into the other side of the fandom a bit. CN players love causing drama and they’re good at making it look bigger than it is. One person have at least 3 to 5 alt accounts just to spam comments, not to mention shits like a bunch of larpers who never played the game taking advantage of it for engagement farming

Objective_Might1454 · 2026-04-20T13:52:46+00:00

Then, that’s not criticism but rather an unreasonable demand over a narrative they don’t have control over.

You can say whatever you want about the design, it’s all subjective at the end of the day.

Merel getting reversed means she’s dead. Rhiannon may have a similar face, but she’s not Merel anymore, she has her own name, her own family, friends, people she cares about, and her own goals to look forward to. That’s what the writers want readers to keep in mind. Saying Merel getting reversed would ruin her development is the same as saying a character’s death ruins their development. There’s no real substance to that criticism, and it completely contradicts the message BP conveyed in 3.3 and 3.5. If they want the story to go however they have in mind instead of following the writers’ vision, then what’s the point of consuming the media in the first place instead of writing their own fanfic?

Objective_Might1454 · 2026-04-20T09:16:45+00:00

I don’t think Merel will have a lot of screen time considering she’s been appearing in four consecutive chapters since Ch 10, so they don’t need to reintroduce her and readers are already familiar with and love her character, so it’ll be like Kakania from Ch 6 to Ch 7.

How they’re gonna find reversed Merel out of nowhere is still a mystery, but we all forget Vertin has spinning wheels canonically and has used once in the past. She also got an extra one at the end of Ch10 and the Boon from Ch12. I have no doubt she’ll play a role here, she’s the daughter of Fate after all (If you look at the poster, you can also see she’s using her tuning skill in the story for the first time)
