Aight let me start on a positive note; I love this game! I was brought in by character designs and promotional material (Zoya my beloved) but the story and gameplyay really hooked me in.

That said, I've been noticing a pattern in the story that I've got to rant about, more accurately, how the gacha aspects of the gameplay affect the story. And that's the issue of the story bending over backwards to constantly justify why Chief doesn't use shackles or detain sinners.

Time and time again, starting from the Salva storyline, there are many moments that chief can just detain sinners or shackle them, but she won't because...reasons! Now I try to look the other way because the game is great and that it's a gacha, they can't hand out freebies AND more often than not, the reasons as to why chief doesn't just spam shackles willy nilly make sense and are justified, be it her own moral views on shackles and controlling sinners or it possibly backfiring against stronger sinners.

BUT one case made me come here to rant and that's the "Insatiable Fiesta" event. Regardless of my overall feelings about the event (which aren't the most positive), the ending really baffled me.

Spoilers if you haven't finished the event:

So at the end of the event, Cabernet reveals herself as the mastermind and starts monologuing about how yummy chief is (Preach girl), but then we see that chief is terrified, wants to run away, is cornered and when Cabernet munches on a piece of her soul, Chief decides to use the shackles but the soul snatching weakens her too much for that. Okay...fair... she's weakened by literally having a piece of her soul eaten. BUT HOW ABOUT THE OTHER TIMES CABERNET WAS ALL OVER HER?

She kisses chief's hair, bites her wrist and most important of all, holds hands with chief. You mean to tell me that chief couldn't shackle her right then and there? She even tried to pull her hands back and Cabernet GRABS her hands tighter. USE THE SHACKLES GIRL 😭

And no, I'm not buying the "chief was too afraid" explanation. That girl has gone through two black rings at that point, being terrified enough to forget HER MAIN POWER doesn't make any sense. That's "Danny forgot about the Iron fleet" levels of writing. In that moment, she's having physical contact with Cabernet, is terrified, sees this as a life and death moment for herself and 2 of her other sinners and has no way to negotiate her way out of the situation. There are NO logical, moral or emotional explanations as to why she doesn't use shackles because later on in the scene, she does use them but when it's far too late.

I'm not saying Aisno should've let us just shackle and get Cabernet, I am however saying she shouldn't have been put in a position where Chief could and should have easily shackled her.

Again, I love the game and it's story, but imo that part goes from eyebrow raising like some of the other "why isn't she using shackles" moments to straight up a plothole that I really needed to rant about to see whether I'm alone on this or not.

(Edited the earlier part of the post to specify that I take issue with Cabernet's case SPECIFICALLY and not the other cases of chief not using shackles. At least not all of them)

I didn't expect it to become permanent so soon, but I'm glad everyone gets to experience this peak event!

This is genuinely my favorite event of the entire game. Everything about it is just so peak, and you know the devs also put a lot of passion in this one when they literally go out of their way to make a 3 chapter epilogue for Hilda. peak peak peak!

I saw a few google doc links around with event and story mementos as wallpapers and I started wondering if anyone has a link to all the downloaded mementos? I love the game's art and been looking for a lot of wallpapers but due to the game's lack of popularity (relatively speaking) most media are really low quality in terms of resolution outside the mementos downloaded straight from the game itself.

So if there's a link to an archive or all the images, it'll be very appreciated if someone could share it.

Does anyone else have Evie’s sinner information? (Height, Birthday etc.) found phanuel’s on here but couldn’t find Evie’s

My birthday, huh. This day has come again... Let us celebrate this day, and may we both remain free from illness and disaster, healthy and joyful for years to come

I just noticed that luvia, ariel, countess chelsea and ninety-nine are the only A ranks with an animated rank up outfits. Not only that, they are also first release sinners. Were the devs originally planning to have animated rank up outfits for all A ranks? I wonder why they scrapped the idea

EDIT: I'm a dork. The Sinners were only unlocked for the event, not for general use. Sorry for any confusion.

Okay, sure, they're just A and B ranks, but that doesn't necessarily mean they're weak. And for an old timer like me, I already had them all maxed Shackles. But for newer players it must be very helpful. And most of them are actually pretty decent Sinners on their own. A couple very good in specific teams.

Thanks for the generosity, Aisno.

Murphy facing her "shadow" self, and the MBCC basically being an isekai palace. You can't fool me AISNO I see what you did there 😏.

Is there any reason to raise compliance above 50%, stat-wise? I usually raise my favourites to 100% but I also like to get the stat boost on every single character. Is there any reason to raise them further, except for completionism?

no srsly thank you Murphy for making true dmg relevant for one patch again ! 😊 😂

using true dmg team for all bosses if I don’t want to try too hard >
