I really like Saria's jailer costume so I had to buy it.
I'd be doing a disservice to Silence if I didn't buy it too.

Wow that's a lot. Glad to see you back.
Well I guess my main issue with it was that the story was depressing as is and I got invested in Reunion's story, so the fact their downfall wasn't really their fault stung that much more...
...that it feels so realistic and captures actual reality so well, It felt a bit too real for me. At some point reading episode 8 became kinda too much for me, because of how realistically shitty the world is and I just wasn't in mental space for that.
I understand. I knew nothing about the plot when I got into Arknights other than that cool MV with Starset's Unbecoming. And animal girls which is always a charm point. Didn't expect it too get this raw either but too late since I already got invested. I feel like if I had gotten to Honkai earlier, I'd be too invested in it too, but now the things I've heard about its story is keeping me away. Anyway, back to Arknights, all the dark stuff is just making me wish more for happier moments and makes such moments all the more sweeter.
Based on trailer for episode 9, my personal take is that Theresa did possess Amiya body, but at some point she decided to give control back to Amiya and disappear completely, leaving the Fiend's power or w/e that is to Amiya.
Very likely since Theresa did say goodbye after all. Tho, I would love to see Kal's reaction that despite that goodbye message, Theresa comes back anyway lol. It could also be a thing similar to Avatar the Last Airbender's Spirit World where all the Lord of Fiends can communicate to the current one in some way.
And even that arguably didn't amount to much. Like until he removed helmet it was all information we already knew. He respects Rosmontis and is willing to let her join Gurillas, but she's too gay for Amiya to do it. And even the fact he's a feline really didn't mean much outside of being unexpected.
The one with random operators felt like the biggest waste of potential. Like, I get what they were going for, but it was neither informative nor funny. Also Pith showing up only meant anything if you played Integrated Strategies and still all it boiled down to was a easter egg.
Yeah... I guess they were all just easter eggs. Minor bonuses in contrast to the effort it takes to get some of them. Well, originite prime is always worth it lol. But it does feels like just another challenge mode for those stages. I hope that if ever HG tries something like it again, there will be more to it.
On that topic I was really disappointed with that part of story. Like the whole Mephisto got turned into a bird was weird and kinda anticlimactic. Like when I heard about it (and all I knew/saw was stages where you fight him) I thought the twist was like he wasn't human from the get go and he got turned into human from bird or something, which made sense with him being good at singing and being force-fed orginium, but no, he just randomly went into machine that Doctor was in. Like, why? I thought the explanation will be that he was in such bad shape, other reunion members put him there trying to heal him or something and it went horribly wrong. It just didn't make any sense and felt more like they had that idea, but didn't know how naturally get into that point.
Just to be clear, Mephisto really is a bird, a Liberi. As to why he went to the sarcophagus, well yes the game did poorly explain it, but supposedly he wanted to be reborn like how the Doctor lost his memories. He was expecting something similar not getting-turned-into-Lugia. He wanted to forget everything he had done basically running away from his problems. And I really do hope we see him again... preferably playable as a 6 star medic lol
On that topic, another thing that kinda ended up never being properly explained (or at least I couldn't figure it out/follow it) and is clearly a important event that is constantly brought up is what the flying fuck happened exactly the night Talulah got kindapped? What is that whole thing about Ch'en betraying her. And what's up with implication Snake might have messed with Ch'en's mind as well?
Ch'en was supposed to run away with Talulah. I'm guessing the Black Snake wanted Ch'en, too (what a fucking creep), but Wei got to Ch'en first.
So overall got 4 copies of Rosmontis (1 from token shop) so I can't really complain and I have been using her all the time since then. Also immediately mastered all her 3 skills (had mats prepared for S3, had to farm a little for S2 and wasn't in rush with S1, so it took me a week or 2. I do like those kind of skills and I think her's is not bad, but yea, I never used it once so far, but I mastered it just for completion sake) I regret nothing.
applauds Loving your dedication to cute cat daughter. I'm still working on M9'ing my own favorites.
Sadly since I spend my certs on tickets, I don't have 180 certs to buy Schwarz (and still not sure if it's good idea), so I guess I'll see if i manage to get enough before banner ends and if not, then I'll grab my first copy of Glaucus instead (I currently have 122, so it's not like I'm not close).
Ah the dilemma. 60 yellow certs is definitely unlikely from just Recruitment. Goodluck tho. And congrats on Rosa. I'll just get her when she shows up in the shop. Hopefully.
Btw, rejoice Eyja fans! Eyja summer skin. Honestly, surprisingly revealing. But wait there's more! Angelina summer skin and TOMIMI SUMMER SKIN!. Tomimi so cute. Looks like a wedding dress too lol. Trying to get Gavial to marry her.
Oh yeah, new event in CN hints at possible Doctor lore. Face reveal? Crossing fingers on my crazy-ass theory that Doc and Priestess are look-alikes aka Priestess is an AI clone of the Doctor.
