Sword Seeker Chronicles Event

I'm going through the Sword Seeker Chronicles event of ZZZ (at the last minute as usual). Seems like it's the journey for Ye Shunguang to become immune or at least resistant to the effect of the Qingming Sword by learning from old swordmasters in a magical world. I thought it was weird they ended the main story without a real resolution to the problem of the memory erasure that she was facing. It's a bit weird that they left this important part to a non-main story related event, but hey thankfully I always complete my events even if a bit too late.

We're getting close to the release of the idols Sunna and Aria in the new patch that will get released 6 February 2026 with patch 2.6. I already prefarmed the materials for Sunna and I'm quite excited to see them in action as I quite like their character design. Hopefully the story will go back to the usual Urban Fantasy feel that I liked of this game in the new 3.x segment...

They did reuse the Yixuan design for the mysterious teacher, but I wonder if maybe it's her older sister somehow trapped in the sword? It would make sense logically...

Event clearing in ZZZ, what about the new area?

Somehow I always end up delaying the event completion in ZZZ until the very last moment aside from time sensitive ones (like the wish bottle one). It's not even that I don't like them, but just...time management is a pain when you have many gacha games to play. Now trying to rush them to avoid having to do it at the very last day.

With this patch closing up (2 weeks to go), we're going to go away from the 2.x setting and back into our more urban world I hope. Patch 2.6 of ZZZ will finally see the idols in action and I'm really excited to see what they can do. I saw a few leaks about them doing coordinated dance in their idle animation so the hype is quite big!
I honestly loved the game back when it was set up in Sixth street and even today I still couldn't fit in the new "magic" setting that they added.

Bond Story System (Astra bond stories)

I've recently been trying to finish the bond stories of ZZZ (this particular screenshot is about Astra), but it's not easy because you can't simply binge them in one sitting as they're locked behind bond levels and you can only do three bond missions a day forcing you to do it regularly which I'm not really good at doing.
Astra's stories were cute and I like the whole concept of the super star trying to hide her identity while seeing you. But I still think Vivian still takes the cake between those that I played so far (I'm a sucker for the dedicated type of girl). There's still quite a few bond stories I haven't played though so that may change...

Ye Shenguang will be a void hunter

More leaks coming in for the upcoming story chapter of ZZZ. Some of these screenshots looks very sad and I hope nothing bad is going to happen to Ye Shunguang. She's supposedly a newly appointed Void Hunter, surely she can do something to avoid the worst possible outcome.
I'm also curious to see what role her brother will have, he is still staying away from the main group despite not being under control from anyone. Does he know more than we do about the whole situation around his sister? Was she really chosen by the sword or is there any other machination?

Ye Shunguang is so pretty in this picture. Even though this picture also emanates sadness...

Ye Shunguang Second Trailer Video

Second trailer video (the small vertical format this time around) for Ye Shunguang released just now. This means we're only a few days away from her banner official release ingame. Again, they keep focusing on her "girl next door" image pushing her hard toward the proxy as a possible love interest.
I'm sure this is going to be one of the best selling banners of all time as people really enjoy this type of characters. Especially if combined with her tragic backstory.

Just look at her with the ribbon in her mouth. They really know what they're doing here...

Ye Shunguang 9 minutes trailer

I really wasn’t expecting them to drop a nine-minute trailer for the upcoming new character Ye Shunguang. That’s a lot, and it definitely feels like they’re going all-in on the promotion this time. Honestly though, it works. They did a great job making her come across as much more approachable and warm, especially when compared to the hot-but-stoic teacher Yixuan. I find myself liking her a lot more than I initially thought I would.

Now I’m really curious to see what her story is going to be about next week. The whole memory loss issue she’s dealing with sounds like it could get pretty dramatic if they lean into it. Still, knowing this game, I wouldn’t be surprised if they end up finding some conveniently magical way to fix everything in the end and I’m kind of hoping that’s the case.

Ye Shunguang casual clothes

Ye Shunguang looks extremely cute in these casual clothes she used for the date with protagonist (Belle in my case). She has that "girlfriend" feel to her that I can't shake off. It feels like they designed her for that purpose from the get-go, but we'll see once we get to the story segment dedicated to her past.
It's definitely a big difference from the previous "main" character released of Yixuan. Yixuan relied a lot more on the appeal of her mature design, but the actual personality didn't manage to grab me.

This outfit is totally gonna be a skin of some sort right ZZZ? Right?! I will be angry if you don't...

Adorable senpai! Even though her personality really scream kouhai to be honest.

Dialyn rolls result and material farm

Rolled for Dialyn and she came home easily. Issue is now raising her crit rate up, she want nearly 100% crit to be most efficient so the farming will not end easily. *cries*
I actually don't mind farming in ZZZ too much though, the battles are pretty short if you have the right characters and while it'll take time, it'll be mostly time waiting for the stamina to recover more than actual play time. Though honestly I never go for full perfect artifacts and settle for "good enough".

She's adorable, but man raising crit stats is hard. Why do the defense stat is always the one getting boosted?!

Dialyn Pre-release thoughts

Only two more days and Dialyn will get released in ZZZ! Can't wait! I love how they always release two trailers in a row, one in the original format (the previous) and one in a vertical format where it's more small in length and more focused on making you get accustomed to the voice of the new character.
Dialyn seems to be more a trickster character that smile on the front and maybe thinks something else in the back. Hopefully they'll develop her well so that she's still easy to get attached to.
Design wise I really like the balance of color between white and black creating the "Yin-Yang" effect that is visible directly by just looking at her hair.

She's here to deliver! Open the door! Let her in!

Dailyn Trailer PV Release

The ZZZ trailer of Dialyn is out and the hype is real for her release next wednesday. The trailer seems to show more of her job which doesn't seem to be completely on the "white" side to be honest despite targeting a criminal.
Apparently she's part of the enforcing part of the TOPS so she's definitely going to be a tough cookie to crack, but surely Belle can make her fall in love as usual!

I've also had a look at the leaks around her skills ingame and she seems to have the ability to activate the super moves of other characters whenever her mechanic bar fills. That's huge if used with some character with strong super moves as it skips the entire "collect enough energy" part.

She looks definitely fun to be around. Her voice is quite soft and easy to listen.
