So, to sum up Playa-chan's source of power:

- Is a 3rd Gen ARKS that actually takes full advantage of its nearly limitless possibilities.

- Probably used Xion's gift of time travel to redo an entire event until they get stronger (i.e. Playa-chan redid the ARKS Tournament in EP1 repeatedly)

- Is a known workaholic, meaning he/she gained experience at a faster rate than anyone else. Was regarded as the "Super Rookie" in EP1 because of this.

- Is willing to take up even the weirdest of Client Orders.

- Trains closely with the respective ARKS Trainers.

- Surviving Persona's repeated attempts to kill her/him probably helped.

Don't forget that we passively absorb photons. That's how we killed Loser so easily, Elder's photons beefed us up.

But Playa-chan is still considered powerful in EP4 where all their Darker energy has been purged.

You know, in the original PSO, I never felt like the main hero, but this time around, Sega has really made the Player character feel special, and that's ignoring the really special moments, like when you fight Persona in the PD EQ.

Although there are times where I feel my character doesn't feel like the main hero, I personally like that they avoided the "Chosen One" cliche and instead, opted for the underdog climbing up the ranks archetype.

Yeah I enjoy that a lot, we are picked by Xion at the start, but it just turns out that we set that all up on our own with Xiao letting us time travel, so it's not necessarily destiny or being the chosen one, it's just that our character is a hard worker and ended up being the hero by our own actions.

Not really purged, purified. Same way we do with Invade -> Austere.

The Torana fragments have cleansing powers, as their description states.

Wait, so the more we fight Profound Darkness, the stronger we get from absorbing its photons?

Hmmmm....
