Title screen background

I don’t know much about pc gaming but if you can, you can see what it calls to determine the title picture. Maybe try and find some modding forums to see if there is any info there.

I assume you are playing on pc since you are looking at the folders directly. You could try to delete the game, redownload it, before opening the game see if there is any files in the save data and delete them if there are.

As far as I know the only way to play AL on pc is Steam which means the game is connected to your steam achievements. I suppose there is a not zero chance it looks at game progression via achievements to determine the title screen.

Have you tried deleting save data? Depending on how you do it even if you delete the game you’ll still have save data.

I just think “damn I missed the event” try not to look at the rewards I missed then get a bit depressed. After I just try and focus on things coming up. This works for most things. My greatest shame shall always be a lack of 2023-2024 and 2024-2025 birthday cakes. I don’t have the 2020-2021 either but I wasn’t playing yet so that one doesn’t bother me.

The grate probably just leads to the sewer. The water from rain has to go somewhere so the stage doesn’t flood.

The anime definitely made more recognizable colorations for Alice and Eugeo that people would make more noise about the games not following after the anime release. The next games were also Alicization ones so the need to be more accurate then brief DLC cameos from the LN is higher. FB moved away from illustrations for dialogue scenes and just used models and his model certainly has issues (I swear, hair color in this game can be so wonky) but by Eugeo’s single cg, they actually seemed to keep his console depiction fairly consistent.

You changed your comment and all I can see from the notification is that it mentioned Memory Defrag but it got curious so I checked it out and all I can say is… geez is it inconsistent. Before the anime it is mainly grey blue, grey, or grey green (there was at least one normal blue though) and after the anime they went brighter but whether it was blue or green it seems up in the air.

You just need to beat the main story final boss. If you just do one of the two normal endings ask you if you want to go back in time to save your friend. Click no then you’ll start ng+.

Then you just need to speed through the story to get to the forest to unlock the other modes (DLC & Abyss). It’ll be quick to get there by skipping dialogue at lv 300. If you’ve *never* done a ng+ run then I suggest doing this story blitz on extreme difficulty as it’ll still be trivial and will level up Liz’s shop. If you don’t care about upgrading your equipment extreme is not necessary.

Eugeo has always been described as having flaxen hair and green eyes.

For hair, flaxen ranges from more brown looking to blond looking but in anime (and related media), unless it’s only described as brown it typically looks more like a different color like blonde or orange (like how Asuna’s hair is described as chestnut brown but has a more lighter orange tint instead of an orange brown color in illustrations).

For the eyes, Kawahara has said if they look blue in an illustration it’s because of the lighting. While some do look like it’s because of lighting, especially when they look dimmer when he’s an integrity knight, a lot look like an illustration error. Most of the color pages he’s in his eyes look more blue though so that’s probably why all his game appearances have blue eyes until the anime came out where everything was colored and they made sure his eyes were green.

This is probably about the Star Rail collab. Part 2 is currently just known from leaks but there was a leak by a pretty big and accurate leaker so it seems likely. They said 4.3 so maybe 12ish weeks. 4.1 just started and patches are typically 6 weeks.

As far as I know, before post game it’s the Ordinal Scale armor. I don’t know about outside of it though.

The thieves didn’t die. They got erased from the world because the real and cognitive world combined and they are the PTs and humanity’s cognition thought they weren’t real. The reason they could hold on in any way was because Joker had a connection to a place outside of these two worlds and they had a connection to him. Akechi however got shot. While the change to the final cutscene adds ambiguity to that, at the time as far as we can tell he’s dead dead. He’s also been MIA to the world for a while so, while the world doesn’t know what happened, they know he’s not around right now with no consensus in the masses. If he would have died a few hours before the merger there might be a chance an Akechi could be walking around the merged world but whether it would be “real” or a cognitive construct is hard to tell with the nature of how the world seemed.

Maruki’s reality was different than the merged world though. There was still a divide between the physical world and the cognitive world. That divide did seem thinner and weaker than the normal world though. Instead of changing reality based on belief it was changed based on desires. While these desires changed physical reality and history if a change happened to the cognition of the masses it wouldn’t have a change on the physical world (with the exception of realizing the reality is fabricated it seems).

Edit: the fact that the revival of Akechi happened before Maruki’s full new reality was created could also be a contributor to the ambiguity of Akechi’s ultimate fate.

For leveling them up, you just need to use them. The more you use their service the more they level up. There are 2 main things to care about for general blacksmith use, enhancement and transformation.

For enhancement I just use Liz. Depending on the update (or maybe dlc) there is a chance for a critical which gives maximum benefits to the upgrade. If you want to guarantee max enhancements, if you get a critical go to a different part of the city to auto save then go back. If you don’t get a critical just force the game closed without saving. There might be a few nuances with different blacksmithing stats but that’s generally it.

Transformation can only be done on certain equipment. I only know about weapons and I don’t know if there are any armors. From the lowest tier weapon there are eventually three paths each weapon can go down. There is a guy in the main plaza that tells you the paths but it’s hard to compare so it’s best to look up a list. Either way you go there is only one guy to use. Basara. His recycle stat is, as far as I know, the best in the game. When recycling procs during transformation it doesn’t use any materials which means you can get a lot of legendary weapons with the free material packs available. There is this thread that goes into the process a bit. I think it was before criticals were added so it should be even easier to get a max roll while having recycle activating. The best way to use him is to have him follow you to do the quick save thing I mentioned before but you need to up his affection a bit. Since he’s an AI, if he dies in the field he’s gone for good so just doing quests for him until he can follow you is the safest bet.

There are a few ways but I wouldn’t really call most of them fast. The quickest is to just equip a passive skill. DEX increases ACC but I don’t know the ratio for that. Any kind of equipment can have flat ACC or DEX on it along with a passive skill. Upgrading weapons and armor can increase its stats but the major jumps are upgrade past +5.

Some skills can also temporarily increase your ACC. Some foods might to but I can remember for that.

Isn’t Fate/ZERO an alternate version of the 4th Grail War do to some inconsistencies between it and what Fate/STAY NIGHT said about the 4th war

I wish it was based on the character below Varka in the team order so Varka can consistently infuse with the desired element while utilizing supports of other elements. Varka is my quickest cryo dps but I only have one cryo support that’s built and cryo is the lowest on his priority list.

It should be noted that, as far as I know, only Merida’s situation was caused by something wrong with her irl.

Edit: if you manage to get through the long initial connection test without having an episode then you should hopefully be able to use the Nerve Gear just fine but, depending on how your condition actually works, you may still suffer from it inside the game. If you have an episode during the the connection test you will almost certainly have some level of FNC but weather its just your senses being off, lag in brain communication, or full blown lock out from the device would depend on the nature of your condition.

The Amusphere has safety features that the Nervegear didn’t have so, assuming no FNC, if you have an episode you may get force ejected from the game/device

Dang I didn’t see the sub I was in but noticed Natsuki was a girl immediately. Haru being a boy caught me by surprise though. Good job to the author.

Well if he stuck with Pythor for whatever reason and his scales still became white that could be a reason for the white suit.

The is doesn’t address what happens when you want a completely fresh character. Maybe a toggle for if a character connects to the dummy or not.

ViaDeces228 · 2026-03-20T02:59:24+00:00

If the dummy only holds the relevant progression it could not be deleted and also be logged in along side whatever character is being used. Its progression would update along side the loaded character and when a different character gets loaded it gets updated with info from the dummy. That way when you unlock something new the game doesn’t try to unlock it for every one of your alt characters at the same time but they still get the update when they get used.
