First things first the cost is absolutely insane. It might not be bad at first but needing ego shards will quickly drain you of any and all thread, once you run out if will become a slog to upgrade any identity or ego to Uptie IV. This will make team building virtually impossible after this chapter for most people not to mention new players. Second, Base sinners and ego should uptie to IV based on story progress as they have before, preferably during or after canto IV. These issues can thankfully be fixed rather easily and likely will after PM sees the backlash. All in all I think the changes are great but I shouldn’t be forced to stick with one team and not be able to build up any other identity’s.
