It's a shame that Faust already has a WARP ID so there is no connection between the two. Unless the plot is that she got fucked over so hard she joined an anti corp, which will be the first time we'll have the same ID entity in two different moments in time.
Kinda niche coming from a base unit player but you would be surprised at how no longer having every fight be resolved with the winrate button and having SP become a huge resource to manage completely changes the way the game is played in terms of tactics. I've said it before and I'll say it again, there's nothing the Red Mist fight in Ruina has that a Season 0 set of IDS (with a few exceptions) vs the average boss after the first few clashes (which yes, you 100% can job and have to restart)
I want to say that a good compromise would be that skill 2 and skill 3 use small amount of SP before the clash to make it so they are more high risk high reward, but on the other hand a losing a clash can be extremely lethal (on the other other hand EGO skills are nearly a guaranteed clash pass).
"My access to Faust's knowledge...has been severed" fuck she got bimbofied, but in seriousness it seems that Outis' new ego has a special kill animation that cuts apart the victims sprite,, I wonder if we'll get to see more interactions in the future.
Probably won't happen, but I really hope getting to -45 SP will trigger a new LoveTown form rather than usual corrosion.
I look forward to killing Kromer with it, and since Multicrack Faust cites being connected to Faust as well, I think it's a little bit column A, a little bit column B. With the various Fausts all being connected to the main Faust who we haven't seen yet, but is probably some sort of future anatgonist.
Nah. My schizo theory from smoking the same batch of crack as the director is that:
Yeah, I'm a big fan of their designs, both aesthetically and game play wise. I was skeptical of Charge potency focused id design at first due to Outis being a bit of an underwhelming first impression for me, but the Multicracks feel much better designed and well considered than the Charge Count IDs. Instead of feeding into their S3 they feed into their S2 which then feeds into the rest of their kit. They also continue the trend of IDs being focused around their Skill 2s and having other skills feed into them.
Idk how I didn't see the foreshadowing with all the life drain / bleed on the ids and egos.
Honestly I thought it was kinds cheap due to the lack of story foreshadowing but once I looked at her IDs it made more sense as well. I think Don should have at least refereed to obviously older characters like Ryoshu, Gregor, or Outis as young as well, or maybe use other VTM terminology but that might be a bit too obvious. Honestly I've seen people post about Don being a Bloodfiend elsewhere before but was pretty skeptical.
She call's Meursault young in the time killing time chapter, and checks someone's pulse with their forehead in the BL chapter, and she literally eats raw chicken in the chicken chapter.
