I guess they saw how hard the fandom was going about Sinclair and Don Quixote looking alike and decided that was the perfect opportunity...? But yeah now I'm thinking about Sinclair trashtalking Sinclair and that's an interesting vision x'D

Yeah not gonna lie I had to look twice to get it too (though for me it was Hong Lu that clicked first so my brain was having trouble figuring out it was Knight of Despair ='D). Magical Girl Hong Lu: the return! (Better than Soda!) (Or is it? If he doesn't have the transformation sequence that might not be better on the Magical Girl scale...)

I'm surprised we are getting Sinclair for that office, considering that Philip Sinclair is a thing.

I thought it was for Rodion for a second, saw the post again and then I realized it wasnt an upgrade for Knight of Despair Rodion.

Magical Girl Hong Lu let's go.

Sure is! Project Moon is really stretching the "skills 1, 2, 3, and a defense" very hard now x')

(And as a French speaker, it's neat to be able to read stuff for once lol)

Oh, good catch. I didn't notice to the point that I stared at your message thinking "what do they even mean, it's the opposite, we usually have to wait one week for the hard mode to drop but this time we have it at launch???" and it's only when I opened the notice to re-read it that I saw what you mean. The cleared chapter requirement is the thing that's moving, right?

As a day one player who only started playing MD in hard mode last season, I would say that, one: it's not tedious by essence, it really depends on what you like in a game. I refused to touch hard mode because I hate difficulty in games, if I could somehow get Limbus' story without any gameplay I would do it with no hesitation. I only started playing hard mode when I realized that with max level IDs it was actually basically the same. However if you like challenge being stuck in normal is probably annoying, totally agreeing on that. But also, two: as someone intimately familiar with normal MD, I really wouldn't call it spoiler free. Yeah it doesn't have the most recent main bosses of the Cantos, but everything else is already there. Cantos 1 to 3 have absolutely all the fights, other Cantos have all the common enemies and mechanics which is already huge spoilers, the Intervallos have their end boss... So trying to avoid spoilers by limiting the difficulty level doesn't seem like a very efficient measure to me?

So yeah, it's a weird choice and I'd be super curious to see the reasoning behind it!

Bit of a shame that hard mode is pushed farther and farther away, probably is tedious for new players to do normal mirror dungeon thrice a week.

At the same time, maybe they do it to ensure that normal mode is spoiler free for anything story related.

At first glance, that sure is a lot of skills, and a lot of french.

It's soo good! This came out faster than I thought!

@Magical_Spark@jlai.lu : you were so right ^^b

Well-spotted! I guess I can see the LCB!Rodya / Dulcinea parallel: they both would have wanted to provide all the food to their (extended) family, but neither could in the end. For this character I'll need to see and think more, but now I'll pay attention, thank you for the interesting reflection!

I'll admit that I wasn't betting on Charge being (so far?) the most common mechanic of this Season but here we are. Also wasn't betting on Haute Couture being so central x') But yeah we're probably going to get a new set of... interesting takes on what can be done with Charge.

Also interesting that Rodion gets a sort of new Princess of La Manchaland type of kit where she supports the other identities. Makes me ponder on how it fits with the character lore wise, if she is the kind to provide to others in general.

Charge and Tremor, interesting, we probably will get at least another Le Noir identity I imagine to get a team of three (and we will likely end up with a full Charge team by the end of this season since Le Rouge faction is also Charge + Bleed).

Definitely sounds like violence, and by violence I mean fun! ;p

No way, we get to kick Lei Heng again. Can't wait to see all the fanarts and all the fun around this.

If I recall correctly she was teased in Ishmael's uptie story, but yeah, even without that, it works x') (She might be large ham laughing more than ever before, but that's the only surprising part for me ^^)

Ofc she would get that ID lol

wife

thighs

Angela announcer! Now this is incredible to have!

And it's fun that she appears when we just got Index Nursefather Yi Sang.

My home instance is dying on me, I'm sorry for the mess but honestly it's a miracle I can even post most days... Guess I'm committing to an alt account here now ><

Double post there mate. :D

Very valid question tbh. It is quite visible that they are cooking, but the recipe is a mystery for now...

What are they cooking
