I'm actually disappointed in how Luther is portrayed in this episode becoming a Falz, He didn't even transform into Angel. He just grew wings. He was an absolute menace when encountered the first time in game and that impact should have been portrayed in this, as its one of the best story chapters in the game.. Xion is is literally up and gone, and not even the last force to drive him back so the ARKS can escape while he becomes Loser, because... He never transforns into Loser at all. The Council steps in and Regius ends him in a cleanly, but more messier fashion, as it should be lol
This why most Anime and movies based on games don't work unless they're spin-offs or something because following a game story is almost impossible. They made the council of 6 defeat Luther because having Ash do it would have looked strange since he's a newbie, but in the game, our characters has worked it's ass-off to get to that point, hence why it's possible.

The thing I find funny about that Lilipans scene is how it makes Fourier's efforts in the game look worthless. In the game, the Lilipans are easily frightened by outsiders that the process of befriending them takes a lot of time and patience on top of language barriers so one of the most compassionate and friendliest of ARKS could make it work. In the anime, Klarisklays, one of the most abrasive and short tempered member in ARKS, is able to get about 6 of them to huddle around her with no issue at all on first contact.
Which wouldn't have been a problem at all if the anime actually showed Team Ash gradually getting stronger over the course of each episode instead of just Ash walking around and occasionally getting into fights with weak Darker mobs. Like, have them fight and actually win (with noticeable struggling) against bosses from the game, each one stronger than the last, instead of Ash hiding from a Fang Banshee like a wimp.
I don't think they even explain why the tundra area on Naberius is there in the anime. It's not a bad thing, more a "style over substance" thing to cover some of the really huge story beats form the first three episodes of the game to get people to play the game. Probably accounts for the difference in tone from the game and the anime, as well.
ARKS ship gets attacked? In-game, some wreckage and fires, but looks like everyone made it out safely. Anime, dead bodies everywhere and EMT response teams helping those who can be helped and putting sheets over those they can't. I mean, why not just walk around with some Moon Atomizers?
"In an effort to cut costs, we're going to ask all dead bodies be placed within 30 feet of me and stacked to six feet high for maximum Moon Atomizer coverage, okay? Expect a bill in the mail for providing this che- expensive service!"
