I liked the mini episodes, they were really cute cutscenes!
I really liked backdoor specifically, for morre of the interbus shenanigans that aren't murder and trauma
I mean, the backrooms of the bus being a horrifying nightmare is so expected that It's not even worht mentioning
Onto canto 4 proper and my first thought is this. WHY ARE THERE 50 STAGES
Sinner's I enjoy a lot, Mersualt, Faust, Ish, Gregor
Rodion and Sinclair, having been through their cantos, are raised up a bit. Gregor I liked already.
But Mersault is such a weird little guy. I like him
I'm hoping to grow fonder of Yi sing over this canto> Cause I picked up his first mate ID and it kinda works really well
canto 4 and by extension yi sang is interesting bc yi sang himself is not based on a literary character, but rather a real life person
so his canto makes more sense if you're aware of korea's history at the time
Also with N Faust, Captain Ish, First Mate Yi sing, and once I get the xp tickets N Heath. I think I'll have a solid bleed team. With ... I think K Corp Rodion as my fifth cause she's gold and on level
She does good amounts of bleed?
It might not be a proper bleed team with bleed passives, but it sure does stack a lot of it
Anyways, early missions. There's an abnomrality in the street which is fucking wack. Dante 'feels' like they should surpress it, maybe a hint of pre-amnesia Dante?
Kcorp using drones to create a cordon is neat! Unfortountly it isn't working but neat!
I am worried that this is gonna mean kcorp is getting ravaged by abnormalities somewhat regularly
Which would explain why we're getting 'invited' by a client to claim a goldon bough
so, terrorists (??) honestly I'm more fucked up about the way Ishmael handled melting. she seemed so distraught
I did enjoy "Faust why are you helping the enemy" "You wouldn't understand"
okay taking a break to look at identities and I REALLY hope I can get Rodions Season 5
vampire rodion, princess of la manchera... oh so pretty
I'm gonna have to grind ego shards for it, since afaikt they only do reruns on focus banners? like right now I could get barber Outis if I'm lucky
who i would also not say no to. I and collect the full La Manchera set. shame I just barely missed last season
actual canto 4 thoughts though. it's interesting to see another group of fixers!
new group seems pretty competent, actually. they might be middle of the pack? I'll find out more soon, but it's good to see more than the top of the heap and the bottom. a reminder that the world is big and has gradients
I am mildly annoyed I spent a lot of tickets on N heath and getting all 5 of my units to use bleed, only to immediately run into robots
but that's Gacha for you, I'm clearing fine for now and I'm sure I'll get back to flesh monstrosities soon
did I expect the rival fixers to betray us, a little, I'm really surprised they were such an easy fight though
like, easier than the robots, despite being higher level
I guess this is the power of not having enemies resistant to bleed when everyone on my team uses it lol
Apparantly new faust is OP OP
A hole in his chest... with no sign of closing
I'm noticing that the reccomendded level keeps fluctuating up and down. Which is strange but not unwelcome
Okay made a LITTLE more progress, but also realized that each normal run of MD gives 4.5 levels of battlepass so i did that, twice, to max out my weeklies
Anyways I am VERY interested to see E.G.O Being talked about by characters, cause I had not been sure EGO and ID were... diagetic? In Universe things people experienced and used?
And that a goldon bough can supress the negative effects... LCorp what were you DOING (Insert 'go play library of runia' here)
yeah they go on more about e.g.o in lobocorp so that's another thing
everything goes back to lobocorp bc that's where everything began
Still, very intriguing that these tech liberation folk are going hard on ego. Seems like it'll backfire pretty hard on them sooner rather than later
I always like seeing Ish protective of the other sinners
it doesn't happen often, but when someone takes a crack at them Ish is there to go "Hey go fuck yourself" about it. which is a nice little dynamic
game: you can have 7 units in this fight
me: I've only got 5 built though
maybe I need 7, ugggh. if I can just get through this stage I can get access to better tickets

ow
okay well need to grind for a bit I guess!

crushed it
I am on level. I feel like I GET the mechanics. you need to kill the trees. but I am losing constantly and I don't know why
time for a limbus break I think. but I'm really frustrated with this dumb level.
another day another failed 4-48
I really do not know what I need to be doing. more damage? do I need to reconfigure and build my team to have consistent access to AOE attacks during phase 2?
I can build 7 Ryo to get the yellow and blue I need to trigger Faust and Christmas ish ego attacks
that's one option worth considering
oh she resists pierce, should have guessed
okay guide is letting me make progress. I just need to get luckier or find better Clashers to build up
I'll there. determination dog

FINALLY
yi sang's dungeon isn't making me love him but it sure is making me hate K corp
mostly it just makes me want to hug him
The music in this dungeon is really good though
I DID NOT EXPECT MILI IN THE BOSS FIGHT
mili was also in the canto 3 boss fight!!
It's such a pretty song, and goes weirdly well with the sound of screeaming and coins and blood explosions
Which is awesome, Mili deserves a lot of praise for that, as do the sound engineers for the game
yeah projmoon likes inserting mili songs during boss fights
there were a lot of those in ruina
Man, if i have to give Limbus company one thing, it's that they REALLY know how to stick a landing. They know how to end a chapter in a way that feels meaningful and poignent
Canto 4 is complete and I feel emotions, A+
The single tick forward and than silence, oooh that's clever
