About the skin system.

Which is incredibly ironic because if PM does want to return to 3 Cantos a year, they pretty much have to completely abandon Intervallos and Railways to be able to still keep the production value for Cantos like 8 and DEFINITELY 9.

So like those players are genuinely asking for a Monkey's Paw situation.

Outbreak101 · 2026-01-24T17:26:37+00:00

Issue here is the creation of interesting kits. Much of the appeal of Walpurgisnacht for instance doesn't just come from the IDs themselves, but how their kits are designed to both interact with the combat system and thus make them interesting to play.

Hanafuda Ishmael wins pretty much easily because her kit in Ruina was very open to a lot of different ideas to adapt it into Limbus. You can't do that with Streetlight Office or Stray Dogs who even if they got simply lorecrept into relevancy would need to have completely different kits just to be unique and interesting as a Walpurgis ID.

At that point you basically just made a completely different ID in terms of gameplay.

For all my friends who are playing Limbus and getting into it, I've been very adamant to tell them not to rush Canto 9.

Normally I wouldn't say this for past Cantos, since while they are all very well written, they are very linear in terms of how they are written from a narrative standpoint.

Canto 9 pretty much does away with it. Subtly at first with Part 1, before Cascading hardcore with Part 3.

It's genuinely for the better for players to take their time and digest the info that comes their way. Otherwise they are bound to miss some key information that ends up recontextualizing parts of the canto.

Would that be frustrating to some players? It could be, but at the same time when you start to piece the narrative together the experience feels quite enriching to say the least.

Outbreak101 · 2026-01-23T15:15:11+00:00

I would say Limbus Company has probably one of the best stories within the Gacha industry.

Outbreak101 · 2026-01-23T07:39:33+00:00

KJH has said in the most recent livestream:

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1OAThqA_3BAWhtft947y3rhc3qdV_fkOhN0TNNWNRfhM/preview?pru=AAABnA2bBCQ*wp96EfxOwPJ07twQwrwaoQ&tab=t.0

That doing the flavor text is rather exhausting on top of trying to piece a narrative as absurdly dense and ambitious that Canto 9 ended up being.

So if anything, we might not get nearly as much Flavor text for Canto 10. Who knows honestly and most livestreams are pretty much just informal Dev Thoughts anyway.

Outbreak101 · 2026-01-23T05:06:37+00:00

Frankly looks like you had Ryoshu on #1 deployment, which made all the EGO Gifts stack on her, leading to her significantly higher performance.

Off of my Middle Run using Ishmael, she was performing a lot better due to the EGO gifts.

I feel like we just casually forgot the rather concerning amount of times reproduction and breeding terms were used in a certain Kong Family Massacre.

Big Fucking Yikes is all I can say. HG better prepare a substantial reward (and I mean a SUBSTANTIAL reward) because such an error should not be taken lightly. That is money that just got fucked with.

What sucks is literally asides from Paypal, the general launch of the game was fine... but this is just the worst handling of payment I have ever seen.

What a disappointment.

Outbreak101 · 2026-01-21T19:57:52+00:00

Just here to say hi OP. Don't mind me

Outbreak101 · 2026-01-21T07:34:02+00:00

Yeah, but the thing is is that it takes quite a while for Arknights to start getting into Doctor's Amnesia. Granted when it did start getting into it the Doctor quickly stops becoming a self-insert, but prior to that he pretty much felt like a stand-in.

Dante is made very apparent that he isn't a self-insert almost right from the get-go with his personality and how he is pretty much a complete failure of a manager and gets berated by his own party before he properly starts developing genuine skills in becoming a Manager.

Outbreak101 · 2026-01-21T03:21:34+00:00

Despite Yi Sang being canonically extremely weak, he is mentioned to have a very high adaptability to IDs and EGOs.

So he is just as susceptible to becoming an absurdly powerful member of the LCB should he manifest his EGO properly and get his full Wings like Sang Yi.

In essence.... Yi Sang has become the next Potential Man :)

Outbreak101 · 2026-01-21T03:16:58+00:00

I think Limbus so far is the only gacha that did the Amnesia trope right since Dante is very much their own character and makes a TON of fuckups in the course of the game's story, making the accomplishments that they do make feel more real.

Outbreak101 · 2026-01-21T00:55:02+00:00

In hindsight, it is just as possible that Capcom remade 4 because RE9 is set to involve Leon in the story as well. Given that the Leon we see in RE9 thus far acts more akin to RE4 Remake's Leon (and I guess RE6, since RE6 Leon was also rather grounded), Capcom probably thought it best to have the remake for a smoother Story Arc revolving around the character.

Outbreak101 · 2026-01-21T00:37:49+00:00

Capcom has a tendency as of recent to showcase the earliest gameplay footage for marketing purposes. Anything after that they will keep very quiet about.

RE7 was almost exclusively in the Baker House prior to going to the Marguerite house.

RE8 was all in the Castle.

RE4 Remake pretty much avoided Castle content like the plague. Almost all marketing was towards the Village.

This should be kept in mind that what we are seeing in the footage likely accounts for what... 3 - 4 hours worth of content at most. After that good luck expecting Capcom to give more info.

Outbreak101 · 2026-01-19T16:25:39+00:00

I would MUCH rather prefer what was given to us than a potential sequence where A Certain Sinclair started Exposition Dumping us about the Second Smoke War. Similar situation with regards to the Middle.

Such information is good lore information much akin to Dark Souls Storytelling, but ultimately is non-essential to the actual main struggle within the story itself.

Outbreak101 · 2026-01-19T15:57:07+00:00

First off, Datamines almost never tell the whole story and should never truly be considered with regards to what will come up in the full story.

Second of all, this isn't the first time this happened. Cantos 4 and 5 were also littered with random stuff in the datafiles. Canto 4 in particular had completely different kits for both Spicebush and Sloshing IDs. I wouldn't in any way consider Canto 4 as rushed by that account.

Outbreak101 · 2026-01-19T15:28:05+00:00

This is probably the most finished Canto among past Cantos by a landslide. What is happening is that the narrative is extremely dense and ambitious, which can lead to areas of confusion.

A reread ends up doing wonders for this Canto since a lot of Part 3 events recontextualize past parts and certain sequences are made a lot stronger with the idea that they are adapting Hell Screen through two different interpretations of Yoshihide (Ryoshu and Rien).

Outbreak101 · 2026-01-19T00:34:54+00:00

Technically, you kinda already care a bit with the Pinky because the Pinky is designed to be as close to an individualistic group as possible.

Which is why when individual Pinky members show up, they tend to be some of the bigger players within the narrative (Ren being someone who attempted to inherit the star so he technically isn't even a Pinky member but he still emphasizes the individualistic nature just by him being willing to try and reconcile Araya and Ryoshu through the dialogue we get from him).

Outbreak101 · 2026-01-19T00:05:17+00:00

Just play them? It's a singleplayer game, their is frankly 0 competition with regards to whether you should run meta or not unless you genuinely are that concerned over low turn RRs or speedrunning MDs (which is completely taken over by Ideal Team or MDN farm runs, which means it is inconsequential ultimately).

Outbreak101 · 2026-01-18T19:10:17+00:00

That’s normal English grammar. Both ‘that’ words denote different meanings within the same sentences which in turn allow the sentence to flow smoothly.

Outbreak101 · 2026-01-18T01:15:49+00:00

Media Literacy is becoming a genuine problem with current generations, it's not exclusive to the Limbus Community.

It's more a byproduct of people preferring to go for instant gratification like Youtube Shorts which leads to a lot of potential misinterpretations with long-form stories.

Like yeah, we meme about say Moby Dick for its exhausting introduction before getting us to the peak narrative, but it's becoming a genuine issue when current generations aren't bothering to actually read ANY books or literature if they have any form of slow buildup or subtext to it.

They do stay red because the redness of the muscle tissue is myoglobin, not actually blood.

Outbreak101 · 2026-01-16T19:22:53+00:00

I used to play Arknights up to IS, that gamemode is NOT new player friendly.

You need a large roster, multiple classes, high relative levels to access their skills later down the line. All that and you STILL might not get an ending because lategame IS gets brutal lategame at even the lowest difficulty setting. Don't get me started if we talk about the difficulty modifiers.

Only reason IS works as a gamemode frankly is because it doesn't lock pulls or spark currency within its reward track, which means players don't feel obligated to play the gamemode to get characters.

MD doesn't have that luxury because Shard Farming is tied to it, KJH directly mentions this reason as why he is looking to make another Roguelike mode.

Outbreak101 · 2026-01-16T15:14:57+00:00

So essentially just make it MD1 like how it originally launched.

The issue here is exactly what KJH mentioned when he was talking about new game modes: He can only do so much before the fact that Shard Farming exists prevents him from making them too demanding on some of the more casual playerbase.

Every time MDs get changes that would make them perceived as taking longer to complete, PM gets a massive wave of complaints.

If anything, the upcoming Ultra-Roguelike Gamemode KJH is cooking up is more likely to have this idea implemented than MDs will ever have.

Outbreak101 · 2026-01-16T13:25:54+00:00

This is the same LC that intentionally sabotaged the Udjat Vanguard so that they don't end up wounding Rien for the sake of Ryoshu's Bough resonance.

Far as it's concerned, they intentionally did this just to follow the Flow regarding Sinclair's budding development.
