|OT| Girls’ Frontline 2: Exilium | 1.5th Anniversary (Jun 25th)

This isn't mere cooking
It's an entire restaurant
Totally didn't expect the double banner. Damn, so next patch will be Sextans than we will get another major featuring Groza Alter and Soppo? Absolute madness.

If they have playable units, then it would make sense they have story chapters to fill the usual 3 week patch slot. In fact since the most likely candidates for Gridman are Rikka and Akane it wouldn't surprise me if it counts as a major 2-parter
Neural Cloud's Steins Gate collab was the same. It basically had a full on crossover story with the SG VN hud included during scenes from their point of view

Yeah the teaser pic from earlier has Rikka and Akane so I think they will be added as playable units. Would be a much-needed breather before Groza Alter, too, because I think most people want to pull multiple Vs of her.

The main girl of Ultraman can also henshin, but I think she's a bit niche unlike Akane and Rikka who are very popular characters. Maybe the collab event will also be skins only.

I should really read the Steins Gate collab. Heard it is really good.

Kuro, Igla, G36C. My body is ready for some shit posting.

Actually. 4 upcoming dolls. They also said 6P62 is coming next year. No pic.

Another thing, apparently they said the event is 3 times longer than Corposant. JESUS CHRIST.

One night has passed since the livestream. Still feeling happy about the prospect. We are eating so well.

Finished Dawnforger part 1. Very good event so far overall. The event structure reminds me of Deep Oblivion with part 1 being made of 3 separate "episodes" told over the span of a week, and like that it also has a pretty quick pace. Even in the first 3rd we see various things converging from previous storylines (the fake drug from Florence's, the Doll Community attackers, the fake vaccine from Deep Oblivion) which makes it clear this is a proper mainline event and not a filler. This event also features a high amount of interesting NPCs too, and it's nice to finally get some screentime for Groza, Krolik and Mayling since it feels they, like most of the early chapters cast, got basically put into a corner to focus on the more popular dolls. I do have some issue over how long Groza's breakdown was, I get what the authors wanted to show but it was such a clear pacekiller especially since in the end the Commander (and the player) got more info on what was happening to Groza from Loreley so that long scene feels even less necessary. I'm also not exactly sure about all the time dedicated to the Commander and Loreley's CBT roleplay in the prison, especially since it was obvious that "prison" was in Vasily's hands since he could casually get out of his cell anytime he wanted without the guards doing nothing since they all knew who he was. I also have to wonder what exactly happened between the penultimate node and the final battle: in one moment the commander is casually breaking out of prison with Vasily, Mr White and Mayling, then the very next Mokosh is in full blow war, Theia got defeated instantly and we're fighting some sort of AT-AT out of nowhere. Things really escalated fast here!
Oh well, the liberation of Mokosh will have to wait a few weeks. Ready for daughter to be back next

I also finished the event just now. Unfortunately it was a mixed bag to me.

To begin with, the JP script once again went wild. So many missing contexts in the dialogues. In the party scene, George said Theia can't do overtime work, but in the JP dialogue he said "she doesn't like this kind of convention (the party)". They are not translating / localising but simplifying the script. What the hell is going on?

In addition, I didn't feel any sense of danger throughout. To be fair, commander faced much greater threat in the past, but due to Loreley's constant horniness in display, it is very hard to take the whole predicament of Mokosh seriously. It also greatly lessened the impact of seeing Groza at the brink of neural cloud collapse when we saw that Commander and Loreley were actually role-playing underground. Take it easy, Groza, they are enjoying down there.

On the other hand, story isn't bad and the characters are great. One thing that is consistent about GFL2 is that the writers did a great job in writing event characters. Mayling's depth as a character got deepened, and the relationships between Vasily and George / Dr. White and Vasily were written well. I look forward to seeing what's in store for us in part II.

Last but not least, Inoue Marina. Wow. Her performance as Groza was superb. I listened to some of her lines for multiple times. Saitou Yuka is also amazing for voicing Ullrid and Loreley. Her deep voice is incredible.

I also wonder what M200 / Cheyanne is doing here in Mokosh. Isn't she in NOMFA? Can't wait to see her soon.

Good to know that even Japanese are not happy with the translations. I'm thinking that Dawnforger might be translated by the same people responsible for Lenna's event? Corposant and Antiparallel were fine.
