[Time-Limited Event] Corposant Mega-thread (Feb 19 - Apr 1)

This game is trolling me. I hate MICA’s idea of “wheelchair” characters and pull them only to complete collection, not to use them. They then hit me with this:

What the hell man…

I’m sorry for stealing your gorilla, you can pick her up at the reception desk. I’ll make sure to give her some snacks and a toy gun so she’s not bored while waiting.

I’m seeing a pattern and I’m not sure I like it. It’s getting a bit tiring at the very least.

Darture - overconfident with “above it all” attitude. Defeated twice by “mediocre” gen 2 dolls with partially working remolding pattern devices. Three times if we count her fighting in a prototype body and giving up.
Sextant - overconfident with “above it all” attitude. Thrown away like trash (despite being super high-tech and extremely expensive) and defeated by “mediocre” gen 2 dolls with partially working remolding pattern devices
Lentine - overconfident with “above it all” attitude (until she gets wrecked). Defeated by surprise reinforcements, twice.
Bluesphere - overconfident with “above it all” attitude. Defeated by a few exhausted dudes with third-rate gear, highly damaged 404 squad (with no remolding pattern devices) and a jeep.
Rurik - overconfident with “above it all” attitude (until he crashes out for an understandable reason). Shot to death by his own side.
Cocoon - overconfident with “above it all” attitude. Fate to be determined.
Zimmermann - overconfident with “above it all” attitude. Fate to be determined.
Chiloveig - overconfident with “above it all” attitude. Fate to be determined.
Igla - overconfident with “above it all” attitude. Fate to be determined.

Not only it’s a pretty one note cast of villains, it honestly feels like a full-on “monster of the week” approach which doesn’t do much to make them feel like an actual threat. I dunno, hopefully part 2 of Corposant does something, ANYTHING with these new characters but for now it just feels like the same song and dance we’ve been through multiple times already.

At least my gacha luck was pretty good this time.

They kind of cornered themselves, writing-wise, by linking each gacha release to a doll and mini-story patch. Doubly so with the rewrites.

That said, Darture, Sextans, and Lentine are my favorite favorite so far, maybe because they were forced to have some character development.

Yeah, I’m holding back on the final judgement until part 2, it’s just something that’s been constantly popping up in my head as I was reading the event nodes. I don’t care about this being the case in side events, it’s whatever, but for a long running main plot making every mook disposable doesn’t really help with building the stakes or making them feel serious. I’m hoping things will start to change now that we’ve reached the “it’s finally getting good” stage, as the people seem to talk about Corposant.

I’m with you on Lentine - she started similar to everyone but she at least got a chance to change after her defeats. Should make for an interesting opponent if MICA allows her to develop properly. I also expect Chiloveig to be a possible mid-long term nuisance if my guess about her is correct and she survives this event. Guess we’ll see.
