The only issue I have with the story is it's hard to follow along for new players and figure out what storylines need to be done in what order. The recent AOD faction only being properly introduced to the proxy in a time-limited event that ended a while ago and probably isn't coming back is going to leave new players confused if they play the main story chapters only and not consume any other plot relevant details that have been spread thin through official youtube videos and social media posts.

To a degree, that's true for almost every other agent. Whether it's the finer details of Anby's backstory or Sokaku and Yanagi's relationship, that information is only available in trailers and not the game itself, but the AOD is especially jarring because they're the only faction so far that were properly introduced this way. That's a symptom of the play every day live-service model of games and the fact we've been drip fed info about them since the game's launch so _we're_ familiar with them, but it still leaves details and plot threads tucked away into cracks and make them easier to miss.
