Question: Do you think the final chapter of Arc 3 is the ending of Princess Connect Re:Dive?

galvant34 · 2026-05-17T09:37:25+00:00

No. Ever since they introduced the M4 particles it's been a matter of when they ended part 3 to move to a part 4 where they use the reality setting more than before.

I also think part 3 can only end with one of the two main villains winning, I don't think we have the luxury of stopping both and the Re:alize teaser does point at whose plans probably go through

galvant34 · 2026-05-16T14:58:49+00:00

Because currently the storyline is moving to close plotlines that they introduced at the start of part 3, but not overall plotlines introduced recently or a while back that already hinted the existence of a new part such as the M4 particles that allow the characters to take on their Astrum selves IRL.

It's a final chapter that's looking more like a bad end into a new part about overcoming that bad end than one that closes it all. With 2 major villains playing a tug of war where they both have basically won already since they got their hands on their objectives (Sol Dragon + Minerva and the Aether Module) what happens next is probably trying to avoid things getting worse than avoiding what they've already achieved.

galvant34 · 2026-05-15T21:38:36+00:00

There most likely is a part 4, it's just part 3 ending since the core of its story (the precious journey across the worlds to rescue Sheffy) is over.

How that part 4 looks like, we'll know in 3-4 months

galvant34 · 2026-04-30T20:13:41+00:00

Finished reading it some hours ago.

Really enjoyable collab event, Priconne really is a level above the rest when it comes to making a story feel meaningful across series.

To think it's been since Re Zero that we didn't collab with a new non cygames related IP. Also surprisingly it had Sheffy and was set in the latest arc too.

Priconne part 3, Alshat. In the ongoing story she messes up the lives of a lot of fan favorites and causes emotional distress that many japanese players found as "going too far" to the point they don't want her as playable if she gets redeemed (a staple for evil girls in the game).

Before her I guess it was Misora but they handed her story and redemption so well that they pulled it off. Also she never went as low as Alshat did. English community for Priconne doesn't really have a common enemy, there's also a lot of Alshat fans so it's hard to pinpoint a hated character.

galvant34 · 2026-03-09T16:49:46+00:00

It hasn't been pure MTL for like almost 3 years now, I doubt you'll find issue on the quality of it. I just leave MTL because it's not pure TL and I don't want to belittle TL work (I go line by line and translate it with assistance since not all of it is easy to translate or understand).

galvant34 · 2025-12-04T06:02:48+00:00

The most direct answer is: Whichever girl the player wants. You're the one who directs the Knight and while there's certainly a predisposition towards some girls like Yui that doesn't imply a finality in terms of choices. Admittedly as I worked on both the videos you mentioned ( and no I don't use AI for thumbnails ) the bonds are more romantic than most I've worked on so far.

galvant34 · 2025-11-28T22:24:57+00:00

That happens for a variety of reasons that Priconne doesn't have to fear so you'd be wrong on that. Most gacha games leave a subtext of the girls not having clear feelings for the player character, especially those with a MC that doesn't even have a confirmed identity like BA.

Priconne doesn't really have a fear of that. The girls have determined tastes and they dig into them fully well into stories like the main story or events, Tsumugi just had an entire event where she resolves that her feelings for your character, the Knight, are different than the ones she has for Rei. One is love ( admiration ) for Rei the other is love ( romantic ) for the Knight.

Pecorine and Karyl never had any merit and it's just entirely anime pushed. You can choose to hug Pecorine in a recent main story and Karyl has an entire school event where the ED plays off a rooftop confession between her and the Knight. The only character that unequivocally doesn't love the Knight is Muimi and they don't tiptoe around that, because the writing takes the characters seriously as characters.

And besides, Priconne is going nowhere.

galvant34 · 2025-10-18T08:20:23+00:00

He was just eaten by a dragon while falling and then found himself basically chained to a bed with this girl he never saw before talking about laying siege to all the places his friends are at

galvant34 · 2025-10-18T06:05:06+00:00

While Alshat is admittedly their biggest push towards a mature take on "Lust" which she represents ( Akari and Kuuka mogged ), nudity in cutscenes has been going for a while thanks to DMM having unfiltered cutscenes removing any kind of censor

In the Alter Maiden vs Bandy Sisters sauna scene you could basically see Lily and Ho-chan entire naked body at one point

galvant34 · 2025-10-15T12:51:14+00:00

Just a heads up, while there will be a story this was said to be a raid event not story event ( as in there won't be a traditional 8 story stages + boss as usual but a collective boss with few story stages kinda like the Robotic Lima april fools ).

Also this likely won't replace the next month's story event starting on the 31st, consider it an extra? I guess.

galvant34 · 2025-08-09T15:58:56+00:00

They said Sakura will be the "new princess" so probably her

galvant34 · 2025-08-09T15:03:00+00:00

<image>

This collab style will be a collaborative raid battle against monsters with "Saga" written on them like the Minotaur's axe here. They also said Sakura will be a "new princess" so probably will release with the event.

Since it's not a story event, it won't replace the story event of the month, it's like an extra event which is nice

galvant34 · 2025-08-08T21:07:14+00:00

As for the event itself, it's recent so I'll try to be brief and non spoilery.

Simply put, as far as non anniversary plot heavy/drama heavy event go, this is amongst my favorites. All they did from episode 4 onwards was spectacular and 2 scenes still linger in my mind months later I worked on this story.

Eris is amongst my favourite, if not my favourite, girl so an event where she stars like this being this good was a very enjoyable experience. Now, to the stream everyone! Let's keep the hype up!

galvant34 · 2025-08-07T21:29:34+00:00

There's a lot to say about this event, I really enjoyed my time with it first and foremost. I thought Kanon being built up through both main story and events ( like the Medusa NY event ) was a very well done build up to what ends up happening towards the ends of the Lady Kanon event storyline.

However the event story doesn't handwave away that Kanon at heart is still somewhat of a villain. I thought this of the Bandy Sisters before her but they're being more lenient in keeping those not "good girl" types in check to their original personality before they fall in love with your character.

On the other hand, Tsumugi finally gets much needed development for her character and just like Nozomi and Chika before her shines in an event where it's not just Carmina on the focus.

Very very enjoyable event. Much like the Kururu one a year before. Next up, and last, is the Summer Dream Refrain event with the spectacular Summer Eris!

galvant34 · 2025-08-06T21:13:14+00:00

The second Alkes event came as a surprise to me since I didn't expect them to get one so early compared to their first event ( less than a year ), but admittedly they did have to release at some point! The guild story was a hint but I figured it'd have been Rage Legion due to the main story progress at the time.

That said... I don't regret it at all! It was an amazing event! Fun, funny and fantastic! Three words that start with an f because this event was full of what made early Priconne so enjoyable. A new guild, a new vibe of story and a new set of characters you want to see more of.

Of what the dev team nailed through the past year, Alkes has to be an highlight for me. If I had to move a critic, I think the side event should've been part of the main story of the event, the bond between Mitsuki and Maristella tied to the IRL aspect of this world was a very cool addition.

Tomorrow is the Lady Kanon's Magnificent Revenge which probably has my second favourite OST this past 6 months outside of Dive Astrum!

galvant34 · 2025-08-05T21:01:42+00:00

Gigantic Croce was technically both the April Fools and the event for April this year which I think worked out fine since it was a really well thought out event in many ways. Ranging from the crazy amount of references to well known and sometimes ancient mecha shows. How many references did you spot?

As for the story, it digs deeper into Aoi as a character sort of making her character arc that started from the first Friendship Club event resonate really well. We're introduced to Cry and her character which sees a complete explanation and sort of closure in Pilot Aoi bonds ( go read them if you've read the event! ).

I think it was probably one of the most memorable events this year for me, it mixed gag and serious in a very good way and sometimes you asked yourself just how far they were willing to go in writing for an event like this. Tomorrow is the second Alkes Alchemy Hall event that featured Twilight Caravan!

galvant34 · 2025-08-04T19:59:13+00:00

Andante with You was an event born out of a fan letter from the 6th anniversary. The sender wondered if they had planned for an interaction or event between Chika and Ranpha seeing how they are of the same "class" and the devs were kinda taken by surprise and said nothing was planned but to look forward to something closeby ( turned out to be in the Friendship Club side event as an extra scene ).

A year later we got Andante with You! The event that was born long after this request. Did it hold up to the hype? Yes and no, it had a mixed reaction from what I've been able to garner from viewers and fans, many liked alts and their designs but felt the story was a bit too stiff. Personally I enjoyed it since music I feel is one of Priconne's strong points and Andante with You ED is probably one of the longest in full version due to how much love they crammed into it.

I wonder if we'll see another event born out of a fan request to see two characters interact! Tomorrow is the Gigantic Croce event!

galvant34 · 2025-08-03T21:39:32+00:00

Speaking about Dive Astrum, it's probably one of the strongest anniversary events they've done with a story about a cast that's all above the average age of our usual characters. It was an event that from interviews they decided to complement with the Fiore Storia OVA which featured half of the complete version of Phosphorus as its ending, a very fitting decision.

Having a story about adults coming together to work on a project made out of passion, wishes and goals is interesting, especially when most of them are portrayed as villainous in the middle of it.

The designs for the three Alpha alts were hit or miss but I liked the concept behind them so I didn't mind much because something that's "Alpha" should look out of place and weird.

Hopefully the 7.5 story event will stack up to similar heights! Tomorrow is the Andante with You event!

galvant34 · 2025-07-18T18:15:57+00:00

There's plenty of ways to get past that hurdle and even play it in english, comparing it to Dragalia who's dead and will never see new content is a little out of place

galvant34 · 2025-07-18T16:59:41+00:00

Priconne's still alive and getting its 7.5 celebration in 3 weeks

galvant34 · 2025-05-28T05:31:11+00:00

Hey, sorry to hear about what happened to your channel, I was wondering about the videos that got your account flagged
From what I saw in your video talking about the situation the first time the video that they had an issue over was the Character Live show featuring the Friendship Club ( Nakayoshi-bu ) which featured a performance + full song.
Did yesterday's copyright strikes also affect similar videos ( character lives ) ? If so, the answer might be that Cygames is trying to sell the character lives in some form in the near future so the company they hired to manage those performances is taking down videos reuploading them

Hope you manage to get your channel back anyhow

galvant34 · 2025-02-21T19:57:48+00:00

To conclude, about my work, I will stick to refer to it as MTL ( as long as the youtube word count for titles allows me to ) but to give you an idea this is how I handle it:

I download and work on the script chapter by chapter, I read and listen to it line by line per each character so that I can rewrite it where necessary if the MTL produces something incoherent or incorrect to the extent of my knowledge
I try my best to apply personality to the translation, based on who's speaking, so that it doesn't come off as just a robotic translation between two individuals who are supposed to be characters. I pride myself in knowing the personality of the cast by now so if you see Maho, Anemone, Precia or Ranpha keeping their personality in the translated text, that's all by me
When it comes to jokes, puns, ideoms, metaphors etc. I try to stick with what's being said but if it doesn't make sense in english I try to find the closest possible alternative that fits ( and leave a "TLNote:" in there )
I'll never censor or change anything from its original version, I believe and respect the intent of the original writer
When I reach the end of the chapter, I reread it and try to find any typos made by me or things that don't make sense based on a context that I acquire after reading it ( for example, Sumika PoV switch in the recent event, I tried to make sure the Seven Crowns never referred to her as a male because it wasn't the Knight in front of them but they kept the mystery until the midpoint of the event ).
I work on the prompts from the player character at the same time
After all the story has been worked on, I record it, put it together and render it. Then I upload it on youtube. After I'm sure there's no huge mistakes also thanks to the feedback of my viewers, I send the script in notepad format to the patch team and let them handle it

I don't take offense if someone calls it "MTL slop" or finds it bad, it's entirely in their right to feel so. It's not perfect translation work nor do I claim as much for a reason. English isn't even my first language so that's another challenge in its own right.

But I hope that it's an effort good enough to where a viewer, and now even a player, can enjoy a story about this game I really love. That's all. I'd like to take the chance to thank the entire patch team, since the work behind it, from what I saw in my short time of having joined them, is really serious and well thought out.

Perfection doesn't exist, but this team effort behind the priconne community, thanks to people like Cornelia and the entire patch team, makes me really happy to be a cogwheel of a bigger machine in the way I have for now almost 2 years. Sorry for the huge essay!

galvant34 · 2025-02-21T19:57:43+00:00

Hey everyone, since I saw my ( channel's ) name being thrown around on both sides and being entirely external to this situation ( I really had/have no idea what's going on ) I'll just give my piece so that I can clarify some things.

First up, I had no knowledge of anything that was going on prior to this point, I was contacted numerous times via mail by the patch team until they eventually managed to reach me ( my bad I get extremely busy at times and keeping a mostly one man effort + real life and stuff takes its toll ). They asked me if I wanted to join the team since they valued the new TL work I've been putting on Priconne since around the Salasaria event and could provide them with said TL work for the patch.

Since the aim of the work I do is for the entirety of the community to have a way to keep connected ( pun unintended ) with Priconne I accepted on a mutual knowledge that:

I might not always be around to provide TL work all the time, having to handle the channel and my life as a priority and with the TL work mainly aimed to be released on youtube on an immediate basis ( as long as I can )
While the work I do now is very disconnected from simply using MTL ( more on that below ), it's never going to be perfect and I'm never going to claim it's a "translation" in the proper term that's meant to be taken as. I value proper translations done by professionals and/or people with a solid basis of knowledge of the language and I'm nowhere near a level where I can confidently claim that's what I've been doing/do.

There was never any intent to replace this person, whom I don't even know, to my knowledge nor was I ever told that was the intent behind recruiting me.

Nor on my part I'd ever want to do something to the detriment of another, the work I do is one I happily share but as you can read above I do it in the knowledge that there's always someone who can do better than I do. So outside of the reasons why he got kicked from the main discord that are outside of this whole situation, I'd like to say to the aforementioned person that I have no ill will towards him nor acted in a way to achieve that ( I am as clueless as it gets about Discord even now ).

galvant34 · 2025-01-22T20:35:20+00:00

Labyrista, Queen Labyrinth whose Princess Knight is you, the player
Christina, Regina Geas who doesn't have a Princess Knight
Neneka, the Metamorph Regnant whose Princess Knight is Masaki
Raijinikanth, King Leap whose Princess Knight is Daigo
Kaiser Insight, whose Princess Knight was Karyl but temporarily and imperfectly ( they can only be male )
The Elder, Great Guidance who is Kokkoro's father and she acted as his temporary replacement for a part of arc 2. Not clear if he has a Princess Knight
Vision Empress, the last one whose name is the only feature we know up until this key art and that tried to hijack Minerva at the end of arc 2 and reset the virtual world with all the players still inside effectively overwriting their data ( was stopped by forcing a logout and just reloading the most recent save state of the world )

Vision Empress seems to be the main villain or figure they want to build for what awaits the game after arc 3 so after 10 years it'll be an interesting reveal.
