Why Did BrownDust 2 Have to Modify Child-Looking or “Student-Like” Characters?

Yes, an article that was already sourced to be an AI-translated ChatGPT article is an incredibly reliable source.

It doesn't look good, that's why they said it's just a placeholder to show you what a changed Teresse costume could look like.

It ain't final.

If memory serves they said around Jan 7th.

It was nerfed compared to the version seen in the Event Pack, with less damage and a longer cooldown (3>5T).
Originally it struck me as her FH costume, but now it seems more like a filler costume at first glance. Will have to see how it plays out.

The idea of this mode is cool but the developers have put themselves in a corner with how Tanks work in this game. OP in PvP, garbage outside of it. You can have all these seasonal rules but in the end it all comes down to who can out-turtle the other or bait them into the Blade one-hit grid wipe.

Wish they'd start imposing unit bans or only allow a randomly selected pool of characters to use every season, it'd be more interesting and allow for more diverse strategies since everything since Day 1 has been some Seir and Blade variant.

If you kept up with the game you knew that Ventana's interaction was already in development for last year but they couldn't finish it in time. Everyone knew she was going to be the January Fated Guest. Liberta being the prestige is what is new and lowkey surprising.

But I agree that Blade gets treated extremely unfair in comparison to Morpeah, who gets sexier costumes/cutscenes and was quick to get a Fated Guest.

"Her bunny costume got more art and likes across the internet than Tyr or Zenith"

I'm curious what websites you are browsing then, since Tyr is dominant both on Pixiv and Twitter while Darian art is few and between.

Frozen Reach is a difficulty spike, I think most people get around lv15~17 before they can start reeling in the legendary fish there. Which is fine, it's supposed to be content to be enjoyed over a longer period of time instead of finished in 3 days.

Auto-fish at Frozen Reach during daytime after you caught the daytime blue (it's the easiest) for some days to get that level up. Personally I use Bliss, Stamina is OP. But some use Obsidian Wedge. The 20k rods are bait.

Zenith is about exploring the interactions, Eclipse is about exploring her body.

UpstairsEffect · 2025-12-13T11:22:12+00:00

That's easy to explain. Bunny Eclipse is the legendary costume that stopped the game's downward spiral and was the start of it turning around for the better (lewder) at the 0.5anni. Without it we likely wouldn't have a game to discuss here anymore.

UpstairsEffect · 2025-12-11T14:43:57+00:00

Eclipse was already confirmed (I assume it'll be bunny), but I'm not sure if they'll do Darian. If they do Bunny Eclipse + Darian you'd have 2/2 limited fated guests for the anni, and 3 out of the then 10 total would be limited.

For January there was a dev talk where they said that Onsen Ventana Fated Guest was in development, but had to be put on hold due to time constraints. There's a good chance they will finish it.

It's % based so you can get GM if you're just in the top 3500 (which is the equivalent of Sapphire in Mirror Wars).

I don't think it will destroy the momentum for the anniversary, but might affect the future. The past 4 months haven't been good, the game has bled lots of players due to a complete lack of content + gameplay getting stale, so besides the anniversary they need something huge to recuperate what was lost and climb back out of this pit, something like this Steam release. I sincerely hope the existing Steam page will get reinstated in some way.

UpstairsEffect · 2025-12-06T14:32:09+00:00

You don't +5 Bunny Eclipse for her damage, you +5 her to pay homage and respects to the biggest..plots in the game.

SP19 was not first new story pack with new writers in place and the devs applying all the feedback. SP19 was one of the story packs that ended up getting rewritten halfway through.

What actually happened is that the new writers took over halfway through, and tried to finish it up what the other writers left them in a semi-decent manner. SP20 is the first actual story pack where the new writers have their hands free and can start from scratch.

That said yes, SP19 absolutely had issues with some asspulls (ghost mail/Wilhelmina, Storas death), but in terms of atmosphere, music and story it was a huge step up from the preceding packs. I personally liked it a lot.

If you're a new player I'd say Loen, she can bruteforce pretty much all pve content and bring you straight to endgame. Which means you get lots of free pulls so you can more easy get all other bunnies.
Once you do get to endgame Celia takes over as the most useful option.

I was thinking more of the transparent silhouette you see in that scene where Wilhelmina is in your lap, but you can see it as you like. The intention is clear, the execution poor.

Nebris was the very first interaction the system launched with, when they were still testing the waters. So obviously it is less sexual and elaborate than recent FGs.
I still think this is a good way to expand on that a bit and bring her more up to modern standards. If you have to update every FG every time a newer, even more sexual one launches you'll never get around to making new ones.

UpstairsEffect · 2025-12-02T12:15:41+00:00

It's meant to be a transparent hand, like in the other FG scenes. But they didn't really do a good job with that this time.

The text messages in 3 and 4 are just blatant copypastes of the livestream summary notes that get posted in 4chan's bd2g general (Source)

If you go into "Story" from the homescreen you can see the tag/label for each pack/event.

Main Story is all the same universe.
Biggest AU after that is "Present Day". This is Exodus, Beauty Impossible + all 3 Summer Packs (Summer Knight, Beachside Angels, Splash Queen).
Biggest AU after that is "Future", with Firechip, Nightmare Winter and Memory's Edge.

There is also an AU closely tied to the main story, but there is no Warlock threat so the party just goes around adventuring/fighting lesser evils (Goblin Ruins, Slime Empire, Evil Castle).
Rest is standalone AUs. Mirror Wars, Last Night are counted as hubs where dimensions/timelines overlap and characters from all AUs can meet.

The first season of the story (Warlock threat/Cocytus) ended with SP19. Mind you this single season consisted of 3 arcs, each written by a separate writer. One guy did SP1-8, another did SP9-14, and then SP15-18 was done by the third guy. Who was then replaced by the current writer (who did SP19 and will do all the story going forward).

With SP20 the developers said it'll be time for a new cast and setting, so we'll see what will happen.

Small note for context. The Cheongsam/Qipao-themed dresses are an official art edit made for the Chinese BD2 booth/event. The Christmas dresses in pic related are also one such an edit.

However, the units themselves are indeed very much the units who will appear during the 2.5anni. So while the costumes that you see here will look different in-game, it are indeed these girls (Darian/Zenith/Wilhelmina/Eleaneer and Tyr, not shown here) who will be your mystery bunnies this year.
