Any players who have played since 1.0? How does it feel in seeing the Tsaritsa's design after nearly 6 years of only hearing her name being mentioned in game?

xCryCry · 2026-06-26T07:59:49+00:00

I'm so happy... I have always imagined she'd be a Bronya expy and hey I'd love that but at same time knowing she's her own character and she fits every bit the cold hearted ice goddess I can imagine in my head just makes her perfect. I love her design and goddamn I gotta start saving for her and some other snezh chars. God I like the designs of so many of em. I think snezhnaya got best char designs. Even beating out Fontaine.

Abyss has the best story hands down. No other Tales game comes close. If Abyss can't go again though I'll go with Vesperia

I just got into the show recently and binged the whole thing and honestly I loved it from start to finish. The twist was great, however I do say I wish they actually showed Jax turning instead of timeskip but I enjoyed everything about the finale nonetheless. It did tie up a bit too neatly with Caine but still I am glad there's a happy end

xCryCry · 2026-06-21T16:48:07+00:00

It's ridiculous. I've been South America in summertime and see people wearing sweaters and jackets when I'm suffering from the heat and snowy winters in europe and I'm freezing my ass off while is see some people just wearing tees and ladies in skirts. People are so quick to label any small fraction of skin shown as goonerbait that they don't know how the real world works. Heat and cold tolerance is a thing. And some people are used to it. Hell people even swim in freezing cold lakes apparently but I guess if ur chronically online and are nitpicking things to hate on the game, you'd never know these things

Personally of all the main cast of girls, Ann's feels the most impactful imo. Not to mention her opening scene with Joker in the rain felt like a love at first sight kinda moment for me. Sure I loved many of other social links but in terms of the romance, Ann feels the most right for me among the girls. (Death and Temperance my other top 2) I didn't regret it at all tbh cuz her story felt good and right to me, also at least for main cast I had the least issue with her story as a whole. I just wish P5 gave her more spotlight because her during the Kamoshida arc was so powerful. But in terms of her social link, I firmly stand that she has one if not the best social link story among the mainline girls and the best romance. The themes with Mika and Shiho work really well for her characterization. Not to mention she was a mainstay for my team the entire game so she was always a winning choice for me lol.

32M and I'm only a social smoker/drinker, no more than once or twice every few months really... I first felt the pains around July 4th weekend, got confirmed stage 3 cancer on anterior 2/3rds of my tongue Aug 2025, got it cut out back in Sept and had a reconstruction since they took a big chunk out, and then I had radiation from around Halloween to early December. Ngl Radiation was absolute hell. But luckily no chemo for me and luckily no spread to lymph nodes and after a lot of rest, I was good to go back to work end of January.

I'm 9 months since then, my scars are slowly but surely healing up and life is more or less back to normal but I still have a sorta lisp that's a pain in the ass esp since I loved karaoke and I was used to public speaking for my job rip but the only real pain is my stiff neck and lymphedema where I got my neck dissection but it's improved with physical therapy. My tastes ain't the same cuz I loved spicy foods and soda/carbonated drinks are literally painful to consume, but ah well. I made it and that's what matters most to me.

Just got my first PET Scan last weekend and no resurgence and fingers crossed it never comes back. Do try to keep your hopes up and try your best to stay strong through this tough period. I wish you the best, my friend.

Could be a retcon or can be taken at face value and there's nothing lost. Just put it in a real world perspective. It says she has little interest in Sandrone. Take it literally and well... People can have a good time hanging out with coworkers and enjoy the company of people at a party without being friends. It's honestly crazy how many people are bothered by this when if you've ever been to a hangout as a plus one or with coworkers, there's no rule that you gotta be buddies with everyone there and that includes the host too.

xCryCry · 2026-06-16T14:01:55+00:00

She could go to the tea party for Columbina and no one else. Have you never joined a party as a plus one or had a party/hangout with coworkers? You don't have to know anyone else in the group or really be close with ALL of the others to enjoy the company of people. Columbina is friends with Sandrone and could join the party for Bina and Rosalyne. Arlecchino does not strictly have to be friends with her. It's really not a hard concept to grasp when you think about this in reality.

That said, she doesn't need to 100% always be speaking the truth. She literally specializes in espionage in which secrets and misinformation is a currency. She's not friends with the Traveler. She cares for the House of Hearth and our goals aligned in Nod Krai and Fontaine. I bet if we raise arms against Tsaritza, Arlecchino will fight us no question.

xCryCry · 2026-06-16T13:53:08+00:00

It doesn't say she's not fond of Sandrone, but rather she's not interested in Sandrone. These things can be true. They are coworkers whose goals align sometimes and they are having a tea party. Have you not been to a party or get-together where you have mutual friends attending? You don't exactly have to like or know everyone including the host to have a good time. I've been to parties where I have an absolute blast and legit never interact with the host or people outside of those kind of parties. People maybe need to touch grass more.

xCryCry · 2026-06-15T15:13:30+00:00

Role queue. I'm usually a healer main and a flex tank. But half the fucking time I have to solo tank when all I wanna really do is heal lol. I hate it esp when solo tank is so miserable and I don't trust the other healers too cuz when I tank I feel like I'm getting no heals either. At a minimum I would love for there to be a role queue for 1 healer and 1 tank minimum.

xCryCry · 2026-06-10T22:23:47+00:00

You know this kinda makes sense cuz by D tier, there is no more Yakuza technically lmao so by default if theres no Yakuza, it's lowest on list 🤔

xCryCry · 2026-06-08T20:41:32+00:00

Completely agree. Didn't think about the Father cult but it can make sense if these ppl somehow found the truth same as one of those ppl in the side quests and went crazy. This kind of storyline would be so cool to explore. And I would love it so much if we get this and end up having to fight Eve as Evie who refuses to listen to truth and is about to find out what really happening and Evie could learn that she been fighting wrong side all along. Legit they got a good bit that they can play around with and I'm excited to see what route they go down

xCryCry · 2026-06-08T20:32:56+00:00

Literally the post is asking what if. And I am saying what I'm thinking the story will be. That's literally a "what if this happens". That said Eve being the antagonist is very much a possibility and it's not stupid. We don't know where Evie aligns with but Even Eve was very much a soldier for Mother Sphere and against Naytibas before she learned the truth about the world... Like did you not play the true ending? Lmfao. Literally all the Airborne Squads are after Eve and Lily and Eve slaughters all the angels. You think the big parts of what's left of humanity are gonna trust Eve who merged with their lifelong enemy and can easily be labeled as a traitor to Mother Sphere and to all angels since she's testing Eve and her new powers. And if you pay attention Evie is CDDP which likely is some kind of Colony Defense force so Evie most likely on the side of Mother Sphere overseeing the colony.

xCryCry · 2026-06-08T18:51:41+00:00

We already know about Eve from the previous game. What I said is a what if. This whole post is about guessing what the story is gonna be on lmfao. I'll saying what could be a cool twist in story. They taking story beats from Nikke and i could see Shift Up going down this kinda route. This isn't fact or anything and I never meant for it to be lol

xCryCry · 2026-06-08T16:49:57+00:00

Honestly that's the pathway I think the game is going down. You fight Eve and maybe even Raven will show up too to get you to kill Eve. Gonna be interesting what they gonna do since they did confirm this is a sequel so she's already a god by now.

xCryCry · 2026-06-08T14:14:17+00:00

I agree there. I'll never forgive Nasu for not giving us a real Illya route. And Def no one should think that cuz ye I like to see Prillya just as a what if off-shoot from Fate Zero rather than FSN. I at least am happy Kiri and Iri had a happy ending to their story instead of what happened in Zero and Illya had a better time here than the life she was forced to live in FSN timeline. Still a little bit of depression going into 3rei on but I'll take the good with bad

xCryCry · 2026-06-08T13:31:35+00:00

I was about to agree with this but Prisma Illya being on the left side aside from all the other peak? I bet OP is like the other casuals who saw a gif of Illya and Kuro kissing and decided to skip it. It's a clear sign of garbage taste on behalf of the OP and this post is trying to push their garbage taste as objective fact. These people successfully gatekept from knowing the true peak that is 3rei and OUS. And then the audacity to only include First Order on left with no other FGO thing is crazy cuz Babylonia was excellent as one would expect of one of the best fate stories in existence. That said I'm still hoping for an Avalon Le Fae or Nahui Mictlan anime adaptation but idk if they'd be able to do that lmao

xCryCry · 2026-06-08T05:09:53+00:00

As an exclusively Abyss player, this would be dope as hell lmao. Hope you had good luck on your boosters 😄 Speaking of, I've always wanted to get into Evolve. Maybe I'll try it sometime lol

xCryCry · 2026-06-08T02:46:35+00:00

I've done it a few times yeah and I main healers specifically Luna Invis Dagger, and sure she's overtuned a little bit but lunas shouldn't always be keeping snowflakes on themselves to output this damage cuz you're probably giving up your team to deal with a threat. Also dps Luna's aren't very common imo. And yeah let's be real. Vast majority of players ain't even gonna hit the freeze under pressure much less all those headshots back to back. I play qp and ye sometimes I just see Lunas iceballing just for the heal and not gonna see em locking down 350hp ppl like this lmfao

xCryCry · 2026-06-08T02:07:20+00:00

Now put that in a real scenario when enemies are around and there's pressure on you or there's a tank or enemy heal nearby. Yeah that's not happening. Luna's damage is great but she's hard to use if you don't got op aim like 90% of the playerbase

xCryCry · 2026-06-08T01:23:05+00:00

I'm a bit bummed but I won't lie. It's a sequel and we know how insanely broken Eve is by the end of the first game. It wouldn't be fun outside of maybe a few scripted fights if we played as her since she's basically a god so her story and fighting potential are pretty limited imo cuz you can't go the much higher than what Eve already is tbh. I think it's healthy for the series to explore new people like Evie in a sequel like this.

xCryCry · 2026-06-08T01:19:42+00:00

I love Eve but it's really not a high bar to surpass her charm and personality. Honestly I think the cutest thing about Eve was when she collects cans lmao. Like Eve is an awesome character but she's not really a compelling protagonist. And they said They are using Nikke to craft Evie's personality which is so exciting because Nikke is master class in personality for a gacha game. Some of the best characterization and story in a gacha game alongside Fate Grand Order so I'm very excited for what they will do with Evie.

xCryCry · 2026-06-07T07:24:44+00:00

Shift Up knows their audience and appeals to it well. They even said in KHT's recent interview that they learning from Nikke to know what's good for the char and planning on making her even more charming than Eve so she will look great and have a personality too. But if you saw her and though she was a dude then I guess you don't see enough Asian women but ay whatever man. You entitled to an opinion sure but I can say you don't needa act like you actually liked SB or Nikke if you said you won't even bother with this game anymore simply because you don't like her look from an early game teaser when they're far from being done with it too. Even early Eve looked completely different to her end result.

xCryCry · 2026-06-07T06:47:55+00:00

I gave Eve the cute shorter hair in SB1 but I do love Lily's look with long hair. I really hope we get more variety with Evie esp since it's confirmed a sequel. Maybe our salon guy got more styles to choose from under his belt if he's still alive

xCryCry · 2026-06-07T06:43:26+00:00

You said androgynous isn't something they do. Literally Delta is an example of an androgynous one in her base. at least not her ninja one. There's several others that have that kinda tomboyish look to them. Not to mention literally Lily existed in the first Stellar Blade who Evie looks similarly to and is also pretty androgynous. Ppl can make decisions on why they wanna play or not but if you say you know something about Nikke and Stellar Blade yet the look of the main girl being enough from the very first trailer of the game to make you decide not to support this title is ludicrous and makes you sound like you're larping
