The last scene with Groza is insane. I can't wait to see Leva's interaction on Elmo. Also, seeing Lainie makes me a bit emotional.
AK15 is confirmed to be physical. She is wearing a exo-skeleton. :blobeyes: :blobeyes: :blobeyes:
Also very happy that Lotta's friend is becoming playable.

Some details about the lateset CN major event:
  • over 200k words
  • has the longest cutscene ever
  • story is so long that they split it into a three-part update
  • theme song at the end
Making such a long story event in full voice has to be a ton of work. :astonished-face:

I don't know what to do with this piece of forbidden knowledge so I must share it with the community...

Finished reading Part 1 of Mimisbrunnr's Loop.
First thing first. WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT ENDING. When I was reading through the story, two questions continued to cling to my mind: why does this event a part of the main story? What makes it special other than being a contest for the dolls to express their love towards the commander? Then, BAM the ending hit like a truck. I don't know how part 2 will unfold, but I am bloody excited to read it. Honestly can't imagine waiting for 21 days to get Part 2. Must have been torture for CN.

Now, the details. Despite being confused by the nature of this event when reading it, I enjoyed it a lot. The lying, fake tears and eventual humiliating defeat of Sharkry was hilarious. On the other hand, when Makiatto was so determined to win the contest, Mechty was enjoying sleep without intervention from Klukai. Besides, not even my wildest imagination could produce an intense standoff between the most laid-back doll in 404 and our lovely tsundere. I was also pleasantly surprised by Lind and her voice actress - she really spoke like someone with a lollipop inside the mouth. Refusing to hand over the sticker took me off guard, too. Such an adorable dork. There are a lot of funny moments in this event, and the chemistry between each character is really good.

Can't wait to read part 2. Less than 3 days to go. Not long now.
 
Finished Mimisbrunnr part 1, The competition, while not very significant to the main story (at least until the end), finally gave some dolls that were ignored for too long a much needed screentime. Sabrina finally gets some talking parts and after having zero story appearances in the entire GF1 story I'm happy to see she is a nice and very good girl. I'm also happy to see Lind finally appearing in the story: like Sabrina she didn't have any scene in GF1 but unlike her she did have her moments in Neural Cloud (just like Florence/PA-15) so it's nice to see her follow up from her NC version. Surprisingly Springfield herself is the doll that appeard the least despite this being her playable debut, and it doesn't help that we players already fully figured her out in her previous side event appearances (although the rewrites are to blame for this since she otherwise didn't interact with the commander at all before this event). There weren't big surprises for her in this first part (but I will admit her Covenant story was very well done, especially the final surprise when she shows the commander the "Elmo branch" of Zucchero with the original bar from the Griffin base which she and Kalina recovered and repaired in secret for the commander). The actual competition was nice, good focus on the dolls and it never felt to dragged out, and it's obvious the Moppies malfunction will play a bigger role in the second part
Now for the part 2 stinger, well, I guess even a lovely doll can snap after being cored by the commanders for 10 years straight

Yeah, I was also happy to see Sabrina and Lind showing up. I may need to check out Lind's story in Neural Cloud when she becomes playable in global.


I made a stupid meme because the cat cafe minigame is funny.

Finished reading Part 2 of Mimisbrunnr's Loop. I enjoyed it a lot! I may need to re-read the whole thing again soon because of the interesting structure of the story. The heat outside is definitely not helping my brain to process the info either.

Surprisingly this is a character event, although a very good one. It does introduced multiple mysterious figures in the dark, including a glimpse of the current Paradeus / Nyto organization.

I guess Leva/Robella story will be the "true" main story event. Seeing the flowchart, I hope that it will provide some insights on how Mephisto Agreement loosens up. Right now it seems to be a throwaway tbh. Please Kalina make some sense of it!

Last but not least, never underestimate fucking MP5! Peri strong!

Finished Mimisbrunnr loop part 2. Overall it was a good event, not among the best but still better than most. Like part 1 dolls that had limited appearances in the story get their chance to shine once more, and the "twist" about the Neural Overwrite program was quite clever and reading some scenes in part 1 again really makes you realize how some "hints" were always there. The event was pretty long (it even has a higher amount of stages compared to main story chapters) but it doesn't feel like a true "main chapter", it feels more like a greatly expanded character event (it doesn't even have a final CG/in-engine scene for the final boss battle like Soujourners or Aphelion). However the voice acting really sells some of the scenes (especially Peri's anguish as she gets tortured by the rewrite program) so I can't complain as the event story was clearly made with it being the lenght of a main chapter in mind. I also appreciate how almost all dolls got their role (the only missing from the story were the doll community ones, 404 side B, and the Elmo team outside of the final welcoming party). The set up about the mysterious Varjager leader from Zhao Yui's event (which explains why they ran it before this event) gets a follow up and there are some interesting things to speculate about, like how Overwrite Springfield was mocking Peri by telling her she will "rejoin her friend soon" implying Thompson already fell to the overwrite program, or you know, the fact that Dush somehow also lost her memory in a mysterious way (hint hint) after getting separated by her companion DP-12 (double hint hint) which make some great future set-ups, as well as the voice that helped Peri resist the overwrite enough to be saved
I'm really curious to see where the story will go. Can't wait to see the next event
