The new matterboard:
[spoiler-box]http://i.imgur.com/Nr6hfxY.png[/spoiler-box]

So uh, it has 27 nodes. Of those 27, only six of them are NOT events. Aside from the very first node, the main path through all key nodes is 100% event nodes. Story patch team needs to get serious about recruiting, because it doesn't look like it's going to get easier for them. Honestly though right now, I don't see it getting done...at all.

Of those six, there are two nodes that have some fairly interesting-looking rewards 50% triboost from Gwanahda and some 10* partizan from Ragne:

Is that 10* Partizan a brand new weapon? I don't recall having seen it before.

Even though I can't understand much Japanese, what little I think I'm grasping correctly of the story kind of blew my mind.

Persona seemingly turning out to be a Dark Falz possessed version of you, for instance.

The Profound Darkness is also apparently a thing, according an exposition dump from Xiao.

If im not mistaken, that 10* wep is called Gae Bolg.

And if underestand correctly the latent boosts Freeze status proc rate.

I was hoping it'd boost the durability of the status ailment, like the Freeze Keep skill. Is it confirmed what 細氷の枷 does?

Terrible matter board, btw, dull and boring. I guess we'll never see matter boards as amazing as #8 :(

Yeah, that's Gae Bolg. Shame we didn't get Lancer stuff with the Fate Stay Night Collab.
SEGAAAAAAAAA

Doesn't seem to say whether it's all class or not on that description, but I bet it is.


I also expected Persona to be Persona.

o.O
Now that I take a closer look, yes it is!
I got a Gae Bolg trauma though from using a Bluefull humar in offline PSO Ep 1&2 on GC. I was actually glad when my data got corrupted and I had to start all over again.

But wow, looks like now it's actually the 2nd strongest partizan in the game and only 10* so easier to grind and affix.
Now it only needs a good potential...like having a low probability to briefly freeze enemies >_>

I seriously need to upgrade my Hu's Roundeet +7 when going hu/br but not at the expense of missing out on the story.
I guess I will have to hope I can get 430 dex sometime soon, so I can use a Yuuei from the Rare Stone Shop.

Falz type could be said to be some type of spirit on an another plane of existence, they themself aren't affected by us, but they require an host to act on our own plane. So yeah, Apprentice simply went ahead and highjacked a new host soon after that.
Man, I need to stop being lazy and do my MBs.

How long is the story mission? And how many areas and checkpoints are there?

This one is pretty short compared to the previous one.
3 short areas, no checkpoint. Mostly cut-scenes.

Basically, she used to be a fleshy with a weak body and strong photon powers.
Some assholes thought that was a waste, so they shoved her into a Cast body against her will.

So I watched all the story scenes today, and it answered many questions, but also created more questions. It was very interesting. My Japanese isn't perfect, so please correct me if I understood something wrong.

So it seems like Matoi saved a little girl's life by using Clarissa's power. Luther then preys on this little girl since having some of Clarissa's power gives her some of that ZENCHI that he wants so much. The little girl looks and sounds like a younger Klariskrays (present), and when Luther asks what her name is, she reveals herself to be Sara!

I can only assume that Sara is the original used to make the Klariskrays clones, and the Klariskrays that we know is simply one of the best clones. Klariskrays is depressed by the fact that she's just a clone, but Huey gives her a good pep talk about how she's unique and all that. Typical development for these types of storylines. So now the thing I'm most curious about is Sara's history. She looks and sounds different, not to mention being a Hunter rather than a Force. When did she meet Xiao and start her crazy time-traveling adventures? I'm very very interested in where that goes. Heck, it feels like it could be its own spinoff game.

The parts I'm unsure of are concerning Kasra and Persona. I don't know what Kasra was talking about with clones and whatnot with Quna. With Persona, I'm mostly leaning towards him/her being a Dark Falz version of the player, but there's also the possibility that copying appearances is his ability. Originally, the VA for Persona was the same as Kasra's. Now depending on the player's gender, it's either Zeno's or Echo's. I just find that odd.

If Persona really is just the player from the future trying to rewrite things a certain way, then he did mention how Matoi needed to die. It's my assumption that it's because she is capable of being a vessel for The Profound Darkness. I believe it was said that she was created by Xion to eradicate the Darkers. I'm going to assume that Xion has to be related to The Great Light somehow, so Matoi may be a vessel for that kind of power, which explains her overwhelming strength.

They showed Matoi's heart wavering over what she really believed her purpose was, which probably left an opening for something like the Profound Darkness to seep in and then further drawn out by Persona's interference. Xiao mentioned that Xion completely erased Matoi from all history, and it's probably because The Profound Darkness almost made its way into that world through Matoi.

So yeah, there's still so many questions and strange turns in the story. And soon, we're getting Episode 3 that might throw things in a completely different direction. And again, if I misunderstood something, please correct me!

I think Persona is the player given a matterboard by Falz-related entity, largely following the same path as the player.
That's why Persona keeps showing up at the same places seeking the same things.

Note that old Claris uses grants techs. Post-corruption and purification(?) Matoi uses megid techs. He may have gotten away with more than we know.

The girl had no chance of surviving unless Clarissa "links" with her and heal her up like that, so Matoi told Clarissa to do it and guard the little girl away from the scene. Because of this linkage, this little girl possessed some of Clarissa/Xion's power, and got kidnapped by a certain zenchi afterward for that.

There are theories flying all around about Sara. Some say ponytail Sara is the real one and all KlarisKryas are clones, while some say ponytail!Sara is the clone instead. (Kid!Sara is voiced by Yuuki Aoi, the same voice as the current KK.) ponlytail!Sara did mentioned how she almost died when she was a kid and Xiao put a part of "him" in her to keep her alive, so there's that. (Field event for ch6 called 二心同体.)

Casra basically said he's a clone of the original Casra.

The way the story played it, everything points toward Matoi eventually turning into the Profound Darkness itself. There's too much uncertain factors concerning Persona though, like maybe he/she's ability is copycat after all, or maybe he/she's you from a parallel universe where you somehow become a DF. I'm having this impression that he/she was asked to specifically kill Matoi, maybe by the Matoi that's turning into the Profound Darkness later down the route, so she wouldn't end up destroying the world.

Someone over on the JP wiki theorized that the Great Light may be the Photoners themselves, since they can control photon and whatnot and they were the ones that sealed the Profound Darkness a long time ago. They also apparently lose their power to use Photon after that, and thus created Arks to fight darkers for them.

Matoi was lost -- What WAS she fighting for? "Everyone"? Who? "Who is this 'everyone' I'm fighting for?" It's kinda how she went from not giving Babaapprentice any care in the world other than to "eat" her to losing half her will to fight. (Well that and BBA used Arks as shields...) Anyways, she have been "eating" all the darkers she fought. Probably by absorbing the darker energy into her? Because she was dying, she was releasing all these dark energy, to the point that there's no way to contain it, so she asked Clarissa to erase her. Xiao pretty much dragged you out of there, but the impact was so great that Matoi herself also got dragged to your world (and maybe Persona too). Xiao mentioned that Xion removed all memory of her from the history not only to cover this up, but because she herself wanted to forget it. She was really sad over Matoi's death and how what she thought was the right thing to do have turned a person's life into a tragedy.

Not sure if I missed anything important. .-.
