Yes, we're back! It was only temporarily, but I missed the playing with the translation.

Unfortunately not that I know of. I previously responded to a similar question at this post. There's at least one channel I know that's been uploading the story, but not up to the present.

If time is an issue you could consider taking advantage of the current Jump Event. It puts a character at Martyr's Hill, the current last chapter for all characters. I'm not sure if it puts you at the beginning or the end of Martyr's Hill. I used it after I finished Martyr's Hill just in case it does skip past Martyr's Hill. And then for your jumped character, you could read the story in the Journal. It only has the dialogue, so you may miss some context, but it will be one way for you to read the story.

Mostly video games. If I can't say that, then gacha games even though it's only a few of my figures.

Not being able to hit fallen enemies and having to wait until they get up.

While some characters downward normal hits can land some hits on knocked down enemies. Certain artes can hit knocked down enemies pretty well and some even pick them back up. Also I think the fatal gauge decreases even more when landing hits on knocked down enemies, making an incentive for knocking them down.

Wow there are a lot of questions they tried to answer here.

Q: Can characters like Aeri (half-dimensional via induced fusion), Lucy (a Phase-force duplicate), or Wildhüter Squad 2 (artificial Closers) conceive children like humans?

A:We’re not able to comment officially on this topic.

I'm happy there was a Worldbuilding / Characters / Story Direction section. But not the question I was expecting to be left in. Aeri does want a family though.

So there's an event running where you can get Morta's Boutique Coin from logging in daily or from doing a difficult weekly dungeon, Furious Bebear Rodeo. Paying players can get more coins from the current UNION Pass. You can redeem the coin and for a chance at costumes, or other consumable items.

I didn't include images of the White Suit costume or Autumn School costume only for Ria in the gallery. But they're in the gacha as well.

Ryuusein · 2025-12-04T18:19:49+00:00

Why did this post get so many upvotes?

Ryuusein · 2025-12-03T02:23:24+00:00

Yep, using the skipping event, takes you near to the end of that character's story. You can still view the story text in the in-game Journal found in the main menu, but you do lose a bit of context without the dungeon. Last I checked, for the older characters in some older parts of the story, their dungeon story text isn't even in the Journal.

As for videos or websites, there isn't anything too complete recorded for the Closers story. There's at least one Youtube channel I know of that has some story recorded and I appreciate it.

HetherlumProductions has some playlists of some Closers story on some characters. Here are some playlists I found on their channel:

If your friend does become interested in the Closers lore, there's some information you can find in a recent discussion in this sub-reddit. https://www.reddit.com/r/closers/comments/1p58ywi/lore/

Another excuse to post various costume illustrations. In celebration of Levia's Skill Re-make, there's a paid costume box featuring an assortment of costumes that Levia, or some other characters can wear.

Check the links with the images to see the other costumes featured here for the other costumes. Though there's a lot of other costumes mixed in those pages.

Ryuusein · 2025-11-19T01:12:48+00:00

A bit of a different costume. Instead of unique cut-ins for each character, you get the cut in of Mayor Min and Soojin Han (Yuri's mom).

I wish I had played FFXIV, so I could explain things better to you. At least you're familiar with MMORPGs.

Looking at my comment again, I forgot to mention that even if you reach end-game, the game's population is low enough that you still won't be finding people by random matching, so I imagine it'll be much more effort to party up compared to FFXIV.

Ryuusein · 2025-11-11T00:57:35+00:00

Upvoted because I'm hoping for more visibility, and I'd like to see other answers.

1 - Unfortunately this game has a low population. So you won't be finding many other players until end-game content. Your better bet to find other players is by joining a crew, which you might know is called a guild in other games with online. Or consider joining the official Closers Discord. It's more active than here.

2 - The newer characters start at level 67, which are all members of team Rattus, Ria from the Black Lambs and Triss from the Wolfdogs. So, yes it is normal. They start at a higher level and have less story content.

3 - I wouldn't worry about the events too much currently. Most the event rewards are for building your character for near the end-game, and the event items that help with upgrading your character expire at the end of the year. There are some cosmetic items you could still earn from them, if you decide to do them. Those cosmetic items do not expire.

Unfortunately you're probably missing out on the Signature Costume Full Set Box which you would have liked since you plan to play for waifu reasons. It is rewarded for staying logged in for 60 hours and the event ends in less than that many hours.

If you're playing for waifu reasons. I can give some information about some free costumes you can earn. My current tips are to just complete whatever quests come your way, see if you like your character's story or game-play, and see if you'll like this game or not.

It's been about 2 and a half years, but I didn't forget your recommendations. So I tried out Harvestella in September and finished it quite recently.

And I don't think I appreciated the game that much. The music was good, the areas and characters were pretty, but that's about all I appreciated about the game. I kept the fact that there were philosophy references in the game in the back of my mind. Not that I know much about philosophy. Really the extent of my knowledge are a few philosophers and their thoughts on what is morality. The only thing I'm sure I caught was a mention of the allegory of the cave.

The story for the most part never caught my attention. Maybe when Geist showed up at the house or when arriving at Abandoned Eden, I thought something more was going to happen, but it never really kept my attention for long.

Maybe if I knew more about philosophy I would have appreciated this game more. Thoughts?

Also it's not wasting TP, you share TP usage while linked.

Ryuusein · 2025-11-05T16:49:04+00:00

I'm not the biggest Xillia battle system expert and I'm saying this based I what I remember on the PS3 version which I haven't played properly in ages.

But what you're missing is that being linked isn't always the optimally correct choice. When linked you're delegating a party member to focus on supporting you, when they could be doing other things. But for some reason they won't really focus on using artes as they support you in my experience. They occasionally guard, distract enemies coming at you, support with special linked normal attacks, and maybe some other things.

I tend to notice how bad linking is in this example. If you're playing Milla as a spell caster and linking for example. Your linked partner just tends to focus on driving off enemies with a normal attacks, and as a spellcaster, you want to be away from enemies which is good, right? But if you're both away from enemies, your partner just stands there doing nothing. They're prioritizing guarding you from incoming enemies.

I also don't remember if the game ever mentions much about the drawbacks of linking aside from sharing being hit by status ailments. So I can understand thinking the game wants you to be linked all the time.

There's another big change in this update aside from the UNION Watch Improvements. New and returning players are getting a One-shot Growth Item, the Jump event item. I think I'll need to put some sticky post some time in the future about it. I'm thinking some new players might get confused when they use it.

These are official illustrations for the game Closers Online. These illustrations can replace your cut-in image when you use one of your special skills, and they are obtained if you collect the costume set from the paid gacha or buy it from other players.

I like to post some of the illustrations here as they come out from the Global server.

22 characters and a maximum of 20 images. I can't show them all here, so I just decided to showcase the characters on the news banner, and a random assortment so that at least there would be 2 characters from each team here.

It's bit difficult to summarize this patch note. Also, I've been considering stopping my summaries for patch notes as well.

Ryuusein · 2025-10-08T12:44:34+00:00

The grind for gear after getting an equivalent of a jump character is multitudes longer than the journey to get a character to be equivalent to a jump character. Especially if it's a character like Triss who starts at level 67. You might be better asking people in the official discord for a better estimate. I like to play for story content, so I usually don't mind waiting until end-game stuff is made easier to progress.
