Support NeoGAF

[Agent_4Seven]

By the way, I found out that when new gacha skins get added, it's a whole different pool with different sub rewards too. So Andoris' stuff stays on Klukai's banner and Leva's will have Dush's skin and parts in it. Not sure if the currency works between both (the currency that lets you buy stuff out of the pool).

Oh, so that's how it works? Great. There's no rush to get Dush's outfit, I'll probably have enough currency after pulling 30+ times to buy it from the gacha shop directly. As for the currency, yeah, it'll be interesting to see if the one we have now will work too - somehow I doubt it, but we'll see.

And yeah, I'd love to see Cocoon and Bluesphere join Elmo too, why not. Bluesphere in particular has really cool design.

 

[Pejo]

Lmao, nice easter egg here. Makiatto was famous in the first game, well both games, as a tsundere that absolutely cannot cook. This week, she is the featured barista in the crew deck, and I bought her signature coffee.

After drinking it and having the normal conversation, when you get up and walk around, everything starts to wobble and you start to hallucinate. A+ attention to detail by the devs.

 

[Agent_4Seven]

Okay, it looks like Helen is fully functional as a Support even at V0 and without her sig (only needs one at V6 to turn into Sub DPS), so I'll give her BP shotty and get Phaetusa's sig instead. I need to save up for what's next, can't go for Corposant lvl of investment again so soon, better save it for the Chiral Redundancy event to get as many dupes of OTs-14 as possible.

 

[Agent_4Seven]

P90 is back (along with new Alva outfit and expansion key)...



Don't like P90 def outfit at all and wish they made this one instead and let us buy it:

I'll let them know via survey, plenty of time to make it and release later since we're not getting P90 this year for sure.

 

[Pejo]

I really like P90 (the real life gun). Her design in GFL2 isn't too bad to my tastes. She was pretty popular in the first game too, so not a surprising pick.

So I just finished the Lainie story. It wasn't bad, kinda heartwarming in a way, but WAY too long, too much text for what they needed to accomplish. I fell asleep reading it 3 separate times. I don't like hopping around the timeline though, and this happened after Odesa and before Corposant. Can't wait until they're done with rewrites and dartboards for global's release schedule. Also, this was as much of a Side Story as you could possibly get. Really inconsequential to the rest of the story unless Lainie becomes super central to the plot somehow.

 

[Agent_4Seven]

We saw how huge she is during her release in CN, but man, until you see it for yourself it's kinda hard to believe and even comprehand the scale They're fuckin' ginormous and one of 'em is probably the saze of one girl's entire torso

What an upgrade from her original self in GFL:

GFL:

Neural Cloud:

GFL2

Her GFL2 design is similar to the Neural Cloud one, but hair style is different etc. I wish they didn't remove exisceleton weapon holder as well as chest plate ornaments, dedals and clothing - looks way cooler than just an open and empty chest plate in GFL2. But I LOVE her spear with giant holographic flag and you can't see it on the art (cuz it's not there), but she also has unfolding holographic shield now as well similar to the flag. Man, aside from AK-15 and Springfield, she's the most badass looking tactical doll in the game by a country mile when it comes to her combat gear. She's a Bulwark as well and the best visual representation of this class in the game yet, period. Uh, I wish they'd lean more towards this kind of design when it comes to tactical combat gear for each character in the game and not for just select few

Uh, anyway, of course I got her and won 50/50, but then I also lied again ("surprize"), won 25/75 and got her sig as well:

I had a Remolding Core build ready for her, but then it turned out she's a different kind of Bulwark so next week I need to get a better Support Core for her via end game cuz I don't have one at launch. I was able to push Alva beyond 20K, but she also has a ring and almost fully maxed attachments and maxed keys so... Hellen will get there at some point too. The only issue with her right now is that her kit doesn't really work for anyone other than Dush and Makiatto, so we'll have to wait for her expansion key (or two) to make her work with Alva, Robella and Soppo too, but uh, it doesn't really matter in general content so we'll be fine

As for the main story event...

Since Antiparallel is tied to the Doll Community and Dush (she was part of the Griffin squad along with DP-12), in preparation to Antiparallel I finally started my playthrough of Sojourners MSE which is all about the Doll Community before they joined Elmo and man, I fuckin' love it! Like, sure, there's a lot of expositions and stuff that can be said in a few words but I just love the atmosphere and the overall theme of survival in a harsh and cruel world and they did it so well here. They don't have server capacity to store everyone's Neural Cloud so a lot of the dolls don't even have backups at all, there's not a lot of spare parts and shit to fix frames, so they have to avoid combat as much as possible for tactical dolls to survive and get resources. They even had to put some dolls into hibernation mode to save resources, so it's not even close to what Elmo experienced during the first few chapters of the main story. And so cuz of all this shit and to ensure the survival of the whole community, they had to look for resources no matter what to survive in the Yellow Zone. They found this old factory complex, started exploring and... There's some fucking stakes here man. Dush completely lost all her neural cloud memories from the past cuz her battery died during a mission, same can happen to any doll, they might not get resources for repairs and they can just shutdown and be forever buried under the radioactive sand.

Ah, I'm so glad that I started playing through Sojourners right now and right before Antiparallel, cuz it'll give me so much more context, so much more character building that when I finally fire up Antiparallel I'll be right at home and will know all the characters, their personality and all that, what they been through in the past, how it was like and it'll elevate the Antiparallel story even more. Like, I guess you can say that "Well, if you've played through Sojourners before then you'll get the same experience" to which I say - NO. Sojourners was released almost 1,5 years ago for Global and playing through it now right before a huge event with basically all major character from it, has way more impact and you don't have to remember anything from almost 2 years ago, you just experiensing everything right now and it'll super fresh in your mind when you fire up Antiparallel. So yeah, I think I'll hold off from playing through Amidst Wings of Gray and Bitter Thorns and Daisies before main story even will feature character from them again. I mean I know all characters from these events already via their personal quests or big Mímisbrunnr's Loop event, but that was what feels like years ago now so, yeah, I'll save these events for later.

 

[Agent_4Seven]

Finished the first part of Sojourners. HA! I fuckin' KNEW that they're connected somehow when they showed Phaetusa for the first time in CN! And now a basically have a confirmation.

For some reason though, they named her differently (yet sounds exactly the same) in Sojourners but it is no coincidance at all that Antipalallel is connected to Sojourners, there's just way too many things and characters connecting them together as well as the ones from the past. But there's a second part of the story, I'll get it done today.

 

[Pejo]

Congrats on your continued winning streak (and quit lying to me about "not" pulling everyone).

Meanwhile, again, I lost 50/50 to Vepley, didn't try for any weapons. Feels bad. Did eventually get Helen at soft pity and picked up her outfit. Using an extra Sabrina SG I had sitting around, good enough for my gameplay level.

I did get lucky and got the Klukai swimsuit with the free 10 outfit gacha pulls we just got, though. Bought out all of the outfit pieces I didn't already get in previous attempts, and am done with that banner. Dastardly of them to include the recurring shop tickets as "patch rewards" on the pop-up. Cheap-asses.

Soujorners was a great story, I forgot you didn't already do it. It probably clears up a lot of confusion you had about the doll community. They're probably my favorite "side" group in the game so far. I like them way more than Kalina's NOMFA and all the other factions we've seen. More tragic. Dush's story so far in GFL2 especially is sad, but there's hope for her at the end.

I dunno what you're suspecting about the creepy doll and Phaetusa, but I don't think they're the same. Then again, I know nothing about Phaetusa, but pretty sure Creepy Doll is toast at the end of Soujorners or one of the follow-up event stories, can't remember. Maybe they fix her back up in the Antiparalllel story?

I think I've lost the last 5-6 50/50s on characters in this game. I still have 20k collapse pieces, so it's not like I'm hurting or anything, but it just feels so demoralizing. I was debating going for Leva's gun if I did well in Helen's gacha, considering my lack of SMGs in general, but it's such a specific piece that will only work on Electric units. Wonder if Lenna's is more universal? I'll have to look on her next rerun.

Man, that's bad, at least you got her Helen now and I'm sure she's happy to have you too:

In regards to outfit gacha, I'm 26 pulls away from getting 416s outfit and there's no way I can't get it now and with ~120 days still available. I guess I'll throw remaining pulls I get and see what happens.

Soujorners was a great story, I forgot you didn't already do it. It probably clears up a lot of confusion you had about the doll community.

I stopped playing the game after WuWa 2.0 was released in early January last year, so I skipped a few events and character stories, but as it turns out it was for the best.

I dunno what you're suspecting about the creepy doll and Phaetusa, but I don't think they're the same. Then again, I know nothing about Phaetusa, but pretty sure Creepy Doll is toast at the end of Soujorners or one of the follow-up event stories, can't remember.

Oh, no, I didn't meant they're the same, I said they're connected to each other and were part of the group which is no longer there at the factory with only Lambertia remaining (Creepy Doll's real name) by the time Ulrid & Co found it and started exploring. Look at the screens I posted

That's some very bad luck man. I can't even imagine what it's like. At least the game has plenty of rewards and stuff to get characters during reruns which have a very predictable schedule so you can plan ahead.

Lenna is not universal and Leva basically needs her to use her - + charge mechanic. I don't have any of their sigs and they're performing great with Svarog R5 (Leva) and BP SMG P5 (Lenna V1).

 

[Agent_4Seven]

 

[Agent_4Seven]

I know it's kinda pointless until they'll add new end game from latest CN updates, but I just love building and min-maxing characters in GFL2 WAY MORE than in any other gacha game and it's so painful that there's just goddamn 1K+ left until 20K, but there's not enough resouces left to max out remaining attachments and keys

But eh, even at almost 19K, mommy Helen is still one of the best support characters I have now

I'll let them know via survey that maybe they should consider implementing Neural Helix Key respec with full resource refund in one of the future updates cuz... Well, I kinda fucked up Mechty's key by adding one substat Helen can't use (that was long before Helen was released so I didn't know) and it's one of the best Neural Helix Keys for her cuz it give 20% Basic Attack DMG - most of Helen's DMG comes from basic attacks and not her skills.

 

[Agent_4Seven]

Decided to see how Helen performs in one of the most difficult content (new mecha boss they released) after building her yesterday and man, she's a pure definition of unkillable iron fortress. She just can't die. Alva died, Robella died, but Helen was full of HP, shield and stability and she kept the girls alive for 11 turns out of 12 without Springy lvl of healing.

But that was yesterday with my old build, and today...

Decided to give her fully maxed Mechty's key too - maybe if they'll allow us to respect Neural Helix Keys at some point, I can add DEF% substat to it later, but for now, that'll do

P.S. 5th 50/50 win back to back, holy shit. But I'll stop here, will get Helen to V3 at least via reruns and 100% banners in the future. Hopefully I'll have enough pulls to get Phaetusa

 

[Agent_4Seven]

Pejo looks like we're getting some kind of outpost mode with twin-stick shooter gameplay and AK-12 is back!

 

[Pejo]

Pejo looks like we're getting some kind of outpost mode with twin-stick shooter gameplay and AK-12 is back!

Uhh.....

FUCK YEA!

Holy shit out of nowhere too. and AK-12 is my 2nd favorite DEFY, HYPE.

 

[Agent_4Seven]

I think there's going to be huge Special Program soon with more in-depth preview of what's to come, similar to the one we had last year when they launched Outfit Gacha and Elmo. But we'll see

 

[Pejo]

Bro, they're doing a collab with whatever the fuck this is...

GFL1 had probably one of my favorite gacha collabs of all time when they did one with VA-11 Hall-A a few years ago. I don't even know what kind of collab this is going to be. Surely we won't get a playable robo-beetle character, right?

 

[Agent_4Seven]

Are they doing this for target practice mode?

I mean, I can't think of anything else, I'm sorry

On a more serious note, I do remember them asking via survey about the collabs, they also had a list of IPs too and I said to them that none of the shit they picked is even remotely compatible with GFL IP and you know what I suggested instead?

So yeah, fuck Assassin's Creed and other BS they suggested.

 

[Pejo]

The other collabs/future hints were mostly figured out by a JP bro:

So we got:

• Beetle robot thing
• SSS Gridman
• Ultraman
• Returning dolls
  • Agent (and the possibilities of more SF dolls in general)
  • Type-88
  • KAR98k

What a weird collection, but I'm kinda hyped? I really liked some of the SF dolls, so this is big for me.

Maybe they're adding a new mecha battle mode in the future? That's a lot of growing/giant mechas to add in one window.

 

[Agent_4Seven]

So we got:

• Beetle robot thing
• SSS Gridman
• Ultraman

You know, I think I cracked the code here. I think their aim with collabs will be furniture sets, various decorations and figurines. And if I'm right, then possibilities are literally endless here.

As for the characters.

I'll take this version of Type-88 with mech please (this version as a def outfit works too):

And armored version of KAR98k (with her original design as def outfit):

Not sure about Agent, don't like her original design, but maybe they can do something better for GFL2.

Update:

And here's first collab teaser:



They're leading up to something big in june, I just know it.

 

[Agent_4Seven]

Finally decided to start Antiparallel with just 4+ days before the second part's launch. Maaaaaaan, it's sooo gooood! Not only is it direct continuation of Corposant, but also of Sojourners with very cool connection to Ex Umbra, Nikketa and events happened there while also remembering some characters from it, their goals and stuff which get expanded on in Antiparallel. Fuckin' great!

And on top of all that, there's also a personal story of DP-12 and KSVK and what happened to them during Griffin's restructuring 10 years ago and their pursuit of finding the commander while working in Mangi Security (before Nikketa joined). The bond between DP-12 and KSVK is such a joy to witness too, SO WELL DONE! And when Dush meets the Commander for the first time in 10 years after almost full Neural Cloud wipe (they even showed how it happaned with all the context behind it)....

I'm not even half-way into the Part I, but it is already one of my favorite main story events in the game.

Also, at this point I'm probably not going to get Phaetusa cuz of how many 50/50s I won already, so I went ahead thinkin' I'll lose one and...

Mommy Hellen is V3 now after 7th 50/50 win

Well, yeah, now I definitely have no chance of getting Phaetusa, so I'm ready for the worst. But at least I don't have to worry about Hellen's V3 anymore and she's fully ready for Soppo arival. Hopefully by the time Soppo will arive, it'll be with Hellen expansion key which'll allow her kit to work not only with Dush and Maki, but also with every other freeze character in the game.

Also, I will never stop askin' MICA to bring back this a-fuckin'-mazing Dush's outfit back from the Griffin days, it's SO GOOD and fits her perfectly!

And this one is also amazing:

 

[Agent_4Seven]

Pejo No sure if you've finished the first part of the Antiparallel, but man, Igla is back, but these goddamn bastards completely changed her and wiped her Neural Cloud multiple times!

Man, I feel so bad for her, she wasn't a bad person deep down and now... she can't even remember anything and basically a slave of this heartless bitch from Mangi. What a cruel fate

Hopefully we'll be able to save her at one point.

 

[Agent_4Seven]

They're finally releasing Welrod to complete 404 (CN for now).



I really hope they'll also add this outfit at some point, looks cool af:

 

[Pejo]

Pejo No sure if you've finished the first part of the Antiparallel, but man,

I haven't yet, but I did get spoiled that we fight Cocoon in the challenge stages. Here's hoping she's playable within 6 months, on CN side at least.

They're finally releasing Welrod to complete 404 (CN for now).

Another "meh" doll for me, but it's good that we're getting close to having all the NPC jail dolls released, so they can move on to revealing the next wave.

I really hope they'll also add this outfit at some point, looks cool af:

Damn that outfit is cool. I don't think that one existed when I played. I like that a lot.

I always used her vampire skin, but I liked her party dress one too.

 

[Pejo]

I would like to formally announce that for the first time in like 3 versions, I did NOT lose the 50/50. Had to go to hard pity, but I'll take the win at least.

I still haven't done any of the story yet, but I saw from Phaetusa's mail that she and "Creepy doll" (her sister from the sounds of it), both joined the Doll Community. I'm actually quite excited to read this one, the Doll Community stuff was my favorite side story group from the game so far. It'd be nice if we eventually had a life sim mode to help them grow out their farm or whatever. Anything's possible with Mica.

God damn Phaetty's paid outfit is terrible. Her default looks great, so I'm fine with it.

 

[Agent_4Seven]

I haven't yet, but I did get spoiled that we fight Cocoon in the challenge stages. Here's hoping she's playable within 6 months, on CN side at least.

They had a hint in 2026 preview trailer that she'll be playable, so we don't have to guess if she will, we just need to wait and there's no doubt that it'll be tied to major story event

Another "meh" doll for me, but it's good that we're getting close to having all the NPC jail dolls released, so they can move on to revealing the next wave.

I like her way more than Harpsy and Basti, especially if they'll release her outfit I posted above along with the frame design.

As for the jail, Peritya, man... fuckin' hell, it's almost 2 years and she still doesn't exist in any of the game's story and character content, not to mention Elmo. The commander already mentioned her multiple times during various story events, but it's as if no one else knows that she even exists. THE FUCK?!

I would like to formally announce that for the first time in like 3 versions, I did NOT lose the 50/50. Had to go to hard pity, but I'll take the win at least.

Finally some good news for you. Congrats!

I lost my 50/50 to Mosin (you'll get 5 pulls as a refund if one of the characters are at V6). Well, after 7 50/50 wins it was bound to happen. The second phase don't have enough pulls so I will definitely not going to pull for Phae's sig.

Honestly? Now that I have 100%... I'll just wait for the next broadcast to see who's coming next and will just gather CPs and pulls until then. I'll pull Phae if Harpsy or Basti will be on the next banner, but if they'll release Liushih early then I'll wait until Phae's rerun in 3 banners. The thing is, if I won't have Phae's sig along with her, there's no reason to build her and if there's no reason to build her without it, there's no reason to pull her since her sig is essential for her to work properly - they really need to intro new BP and standard elite sigs.

On a more positive note, I finally got 416's summer outfit so there's no reason to pull on her banner anymore. Now I just need to get enough points to buy Dush's outfit - should't take long since I'm more than half way there.

I still haven't done any of the story yet, but I saw from Phaetusa's mail that she and "Creepy doll" (her sister from the sounds of it), both joined the Doll Community. I'm actually quite excited to read this one, the Doll Community stuff was my favorite side story group from the game so far. It'd be nice if we eventually had a life sim mode to help them grow out their farm or whatever. Anything's possible with Mica.

As expected based on what I said before about these two and given that during Sojourners they hinted at it very explicitly. I really like your idea about the Doll Community management, it'll be cool if they'll make it similar to Frostpunk but much lighter if they're going to do it in GFL2 and not as a separate game.

God damn Phaetty's paid outfit is terrible. Her default looks great, so I'm fine with it.

Yeah, don't like it too. It's not entirely terrible, but still, hardly if at all even works for her.

The commander already mentioned her multiple times during various story events, but it's as if no one else knows that she even exists. THE FUCK?!

That isn't technically true. I forget which early chapter it was, but Peritya was the mysterious helper in the junkyard that helped Krolik and the gang when they were on the run. Krolik seemingly knows her, unsure if it's from the doll arena days or after that. But yea, they certainly don't reference her often, for sure.

Finally some good news for you. Congrats!

100% on the bolded. We need a decent sword on there and as you know, my personal pain point, an SMG. I also hope they add some new shotgun dolls, I have so many copies of the standard banner shotguns. I've almost considered merging them, but then I talked myself out of it considering how rarely I roll sigs in this game.

On a more positive note, I finally got 416's summer outfit so there's no reason to pull on her banner anymore. Now I just need to get enough points to buy Dush's outfit - should't take long since I'm more than half way there.

Is the secondary skin guaranteed after a certain number of pulls on the skin banner? I got the Andoris one last time super early, so I am not sure how the pity works for the 'backup' costume. But yea, I like Dush's skin too. Wish it still used her mechanical parts, but it's still nice.

As expected based on what I said before about these two and given that during Sojourners they hinted at it very explicitly. I really like your idea about the Doll Community management, it'll be cool if they'll make it similar to Frostpunk but much lighter if they're going to do it in GFL2 and not as a separate game.

They just showed their new 3rd person shooter mode in that CN preview livestream, so anything goes. I think they have a really unique position in that they could essentially merge all of their games into GFL2 and run the gachas independently. I'd actually love that, considering the lore bleeds into each game and you ideally want to know at least a little about all of them. Probably a bit too ambitious for Mica, but it'd be nice. Codename: Bakery, GFL1, PNC, and that (will definitely fail on its own) PVP shooter, all accessible as modules inside GFL2.

Yeah, don't like it too. It's not entirely terrible, but still, hardly if at all even works for her.

I've never been a big fan of the overly frilly gothic style stuff honestly. I rank it up there with idol shit as far as themes I don't care for.

---

So I don't think either of us have the Helen to accomplish this, but a super cool strategy for Gunsmoke. Basically you just build buffs for 6 rounds with Helen + a bunch of Bulwarks, then one-shot the boss. It's rare you see GFL2 players doing this kind of clever play.

 

[Agent_4Seven]

Krolik seemingly knows her, unsure if it's from the doll arena days or after that. But yea, they certainly don't reference her often, for sure.

Yeah, I remember this scene from one of the early main story missions, but it doesn't count

I mean, one character in the whole game mentioned her (not even by name) and the rest of them somply don't know who she is or if she even exists except the commander.

100% on the bolded. We need a decent sword on there and as you know, my personal pain point, an SMG. I also hope they add some new shotgun dolls, I have so many copies of the standard banner shotguns. I've almost considered merging them, but then I talked myself out of it considering how rarely I roll sigs in this game.

You know, they actlually releasing Neural Helix keys for some characters which enables their kit to work without their sigs even, so I guess they're going for this instead of releasing new standard / BP weapons. But... we've a few unique looking Elite skins for SMG and Assault Rigfles which might as well be new weapons cuz they looks unique so... I'll bring this up during the next survery.

Is the secondary skin guaranteed after a certain number of pulls on the skin banner? I got the Andoris one last time super early, so I am not sure how the pity works for the 'backup' costume. But yea, I like Dush's skin too. Wish it still used her mechanical parts, but it's still nice.

Idk, man, if you've got both outfits, I guess they'll just convert to store currency just like dupes of characters. I mean, it makes sense since you can't have two copies of the same outfit.

They just showed their new 3rd person shooter mode in that CN preview livestream, so anything goes. I think they have a really unique position in that they could essentially merge all of their games into GFL2 and run the gachas independently.

Codename: Bakery, GFL1, PNC, and that (will definitely fail on its own) PVP shooter, all accessible as modules inside GFL2.

I guess they're trying to do different things, but I much rather see GFL2 improved a lot gameplay-wise and instead they're using all this dev time on these new projects which won't have a long life just like PNC. We'll see about these co-op TPSs, but I for sure don't want to play dozens of GFL games to hunt for different pieces of lore and stuff, no thank you, I want to play and support GFL2.

I've never been a big fan of the overly frilly gothic style stuff honestly. I rank it up there with idol shit as far as themes I don't care for.

Same, but there's exception to Idols when done right... and it's not done right in GLF2, it's just not. If anything, it's more annoying than cool, I think they don't get it and never will.

So I don't think either of us have the Helen to accomplish this, but a super cool strategy for Gunsmoke. Basically you just build buffs for 6 rounds with Helen + a bunch of Bulwarks, then one-shot the boss. It's rare you see GFL2 players doing this kind of clever play.

One thing about the Gunsmoke is that you literally can't kill bosses there and it's not the main goal, so it's cool someone found the wait to actually do it.

My Helen is V3 with sig, highly min-maxed and she's dealing 120-130K DMG already pretty easily with one bassic attack. Freeze team ROCKS! Can't wait for Soppo to fully complete it and for new Helen's key to work with other characters - I bet we'll get one by the time Soppo will be available on Global.

Oh, thank god, I can save for the whole update



I have Phae, but her sig is ~50 pulls away, no way I can get it early before she's gone. Good news is, I've 52 info cores and with the next update it'll be 75+, and there's also 100000K+ of Remolding Core Exp which is more than enough for 2 characters and there'll be more from the next update. Hopefully they'll launch Dawnforger main story next which is also tied to the Doll Community.

Will go through the second part of Antiparallel tomorrow, hopefully, but it's a long one so might slip to next day. How far are you, Pejo ?

 

[Pejo]

Funny, I was playing through Part 1 when you posted that post, lol.

Holy shit what a great chapter. Great dynamics between all of the characters, intriguing story, some minor movement on the Helenas plot. This is exactly the kind of thing I like to see. One of my favorite chapters, easily. Hope Part 2 lives up to it, I'll be playing that tomorrow.

I'll be rolling a copy of Basti for sure, probably not the gun.

 

[Pejo]

Yep, part 2 story was great too. Top tier event for me, and it sounds like Commander is going to start ramping up his presence in the story from here on out. Part 2 didn't really address Helena at all, but I'll take it for what it was. Also planted the seed for more SF girls to join from the first game.

Turns out that robo-beetle collab seems to just be an outfit for Voy where she climbs into the beetlebot.

 

[Agent_4Seven]

Just finished the second part of Antiparallel. Man, what a story, easily one of my favorites too. They alsu dug deep with the Sangvis Ferri stuff and brought it back nicely into GFL2's story along with the personal connection to the Commander and characters who was around back then. Loved Phaethusa and Sweeper stuff too, so well done, but I find it... just a tiny bit strange that we learned about Phaethusa only just now, while before and during Sojourners, everyone thought that Strange Doll was controlling all the defence systems while in fact she wasn't and Phaethusa and Sweeper was around all along. I wonder why they didn't elaborate more on how Ulrid & Co found out about her and met her in person for the first time, could've been such a good story worthy of another multi-part major story event. There's logs in the laptop the Commander found with KSVK and it's nice, but I think there could've been a lot more than just this. Uh, maybe they'll expand on this more in the future. Now I have KSVK personal story to go through, should be interesting.

I think the look and design of Krolik's blade with red and white color scheme suits Phaethusa way more than her own sig and it's just 10% worse (can be fixed with multiple dupes and maxed attachments), so instead of getting it, I finally got KSVK's sig and gave it to her so aside of her dupes, she's finally complete:

Maybe I'll get Phae's sig at some point during her rerun, but for now I'm fine. KSVK needs her sig rifle way more

Pejo MICA released PV for their first collab (will be released June 1st):



Looks great and I'll deffinitely get it in a couple of weeks before it's gone. Can't wait for more collabs like this and they're definitely doing it right.

[Pejo]

I saw that Voy's costume is already in the shop in global. I'm kinda torn on it, I like it, but not $15 like it. Plus I don't like Voy herself in this game. Playing her I mean, her personality is fine.

 

[Pejo]

Nice, next CN doll is G41. I liked her in the first game, her nickname was "Homete" which means 'praise me', and was famous for headpat memes.

I used my free outfit voucher on Helen's outfit cuz of... two... big reasons...

I'll buy Voy one later this month to support these kind of collabs instead of BS livery for bikes, cubes and other crap

Idk what to say about her, time will tell. But for sure not on my priority list.

 

[Pejo]

Here's a PV from the first game commemorating the finale of the story (and any major content updates).

 

[Pejo]

Damn, she looks great. Finally a doll I'm excited to pull and use in combat. I love the mecha claws.

 

[Agent_4Seven]

Yeah, fuck it, me - PULL

Love her personality and combat-wise with the claws and stuff, this is how I imagined KSVK will be in combat with this outfit but with ranged combat and a drone to spot enemies in optic camouflage.

I don't like the current KSVK combat design and her ult is kinda meh at best. They need to upgrade how KSVK works in GFL2 with this outfit, make her more menacing, visious and deadly.

 

[Pejo]

Yep that KVSK iteration is the best. Wish it made it over. I did manage to get Dush's costume from the f2p weekly skin gacha ticket yesterday, which is nice.

As far as the new patch, I'm back to normal, lost my 50/50 to my 40th copy of Qiongjiu. I at least built up that new "rebate" ticket, I have 4 of them. Looks like you can't even use them until the end of the month though? Weird system.

Ah well, any thought of rolling Voy copies or any weapons is out the window. I refuse to keep rolling if I'm less than 15k~ Collapse Pieces. Looks like Basti's gun is highly specific to her anyways and Faye's standard banner pistol sucks for her, so fuck it, she's getting a purple.

I asked them to add KSVK and DP-12 outfits I posted here, maybe someday.

They also give away so little of 'em and they're not even telling what they do, only that they'll work on every banner, both limited and standard. So weird and cryptic for no reason.

Don't forget to grab 1 hidden standard pull:

 

[Pejo]

Dang, makes me wish I hadn't sworn off buying more figures. She looks great here.

 

[Agent_4Seven]

Uh, I wish they'd sell these in Russia.

 

[Pejo]

Well, looks like their attempt at a PVP TPS (Fire Control) is already dead.

Hopefully they use what they learned in the upcoming new mode in GFL2.

 

[Agent_4Seven]

The real question here is, why they even bothering with all these needless side projects instead of investin' into the mainline game more and make it as best as it can be? Good lord, whoever responsible for all this is so fuckin't stupid and braindead.

must really want that Multi-media IP thing going on.

Apparently M16A1 is making her way into GFL2 finally. Expect major lore drops. Not sure if this is a leak or what, I couldn't find the normal promo video for her.


She looks great IMO.

 

[Agent_4Seven]

Well yeah, clearly, but why must it be dozens of other games on which devs must waste their time on something which'll EOS soon?

I'll take 86-like anime series any day of the week instead of what they're doing with the IP outside of GFL2. I know they tried with the TV series 4 years ago, but it doesn't mean that they should stop if it wasn't great. Collab with better studios, hire better writers and let the main one consult them on everything GLF, not let the fuck it up and don't try to tell the story in the most compact way possible in just 12 episodes.

Uh, there's two more games comin', right? Or was it one of the two?

Fuck yeah if true! She's very important character story-wise in the first game and I like her a lot, especially this version of her visually:

Hopefully they'll make this outfit for her available in GFL2.

 

[Agent_4Seven]

Lind is V1 now with 44% DMG amp (with her sig) and not just a support anymore.

Only 2 more dupes and I can stop there.

Pejo , not sure how much you care about building characters, but here's really good tier list for both support and DPS characters with and without dupes - https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet...1VZ4NvTeFbqM/edit?gid=656476035#gid=656476035 There's also info about their strenghts and weaknesses (bosses, mobs etc.), common key guide and other stuff.

 

[Pejo]

Very nice, your Corrosion team is going to be pretty beefy too.

Regarding meta, yea, I mostly could care less. They don't give enough CPs for me to comfortably roll for characters/weapons/dupes as f2p, so it's all out of reach for me at the moment. That said, I do find these tier lists interesting to read. Qiuhua being T0 was not on my bingo card, but then I saw it was at extreme investments. I'll still just be rolling one copy of each doll and maybe weapons/dupes for my absolute favorites. I'm still stuck on V4 on my Springy, waiting for a rerun at a good opportunity to hopefully finish her out.

I'm reading that G41 is really good in CN, and I like her skills and design, so I might pack away a little fund for a dupe or her sig or something when she releases on global.

 

[Agent_4Seven]

Very nice, your Corrosion team is going to be pretty beefy too.

Much better than it was before, yeah, but I still need to get Phae's sig in 2 months - she's good without it, but she needs it badly still.

I also upgraded Nikketa and Qiuhua with their new mod keys and Remolding Cores to lvl 60, so they're much stronger than before, still have ~50 Info cores left - saving them for Dawnforger main story event in ~2 weeks to max out Loreley and Cheyanne. Waiting on Sakura's upgrades and lvl ups until new Burn characters will be released.

Speakin' of Qiuhua btw, there's very fun scene on the Elmo with Qiuhua and Sabrina where they're trying to cook a pork and fighting over oil

I'm reading that G41 is really good in CN, and I like her skills and design, so I might pack away a little fund for a dupe or her sig or something when she releases on global.

I skipped Basti to get G41 instead cuz I like her and her kit way more. I... sort of wanted to get Voy to V4, but Lind needed her first dupe way more so... maybe someday, when I actually need her V4.

 

[Komatsu]

Kinda underwhelmed by Antiparallel after the work of art that Corposant was. Now we have Basti's event which is like... meh
