I am immensely happy they didn't release playable Belial just because "LUL 666th character!!". Even happier Farrah and Juri got an SSR, even if it's a dual unit. W.Zeta and F.Raga though... did we really need them?
Oh well, looking forward to new and/or updated Bea and Eustace at least.

It took me a few minutes to figure out that the reason Vaseraga looked so different was because he was actually fully clothed.
Did we need yet another Zeta? No. Definitely not. Would I shell out hundreds of dollars for her anyway if I had the chance? Is fire hot?

If it wasn't for the fact that I'm still waiting for Super Mecha Nick rate-up or suptix, whichever comes first, I would have probably rolled for Water Zeta. But I didn't, which I'm grateful for now that we know Isaac is going to be on an upcoming banner.
Yeah, that explanation is pretty on-point. Grace and Heisenberg are definitely anti-Moon, but their way of preparing for that threat (trial by fire, kill-10-to-save-100 tactics) goes beyond radical. I do find it a little strange (and a little funny) how almost no-one seems to have made the distinction between "Foe" and "Moon".
As for the rest of this event, including the most recent Part 2:Spoiler:

Just to confirm, the new Bea isn't limited, just a different element, correct? In other words, suptix-able? In terms of the 400-year wait, most people on Reddit were jumping to impregnating Zeta and Bea. As for myself... Quick, Rita and Vampy, bite me.
Some people have compared the moon situation to FFIV, but given that I've never played FFIV, the moon people of GBF reminded me more of the Cybrids of Earth Siege or the Cybermen from Doctor Who. Machine men from the moon.

I have yet to complete the second "Incoming Phidcast" after the end of the event, but as for everything else: HOT DAMN. 5 amazing new characters (in both animation and gameplay), 1 new uncap(and BY GOSH did they go all-out on Eustace's CA), a crazy new class, two new Class Champion weapons, and a fantastic story all around. Honestly, the most disappointing thing for me in this event is that Cassius' new form was just a SSR-scaled version of his previous welfare kit. It's not bad, and that AOE dispel is gonna save my butt sometimes, but I really wish we could have gotten a whole new design for him.
My second-greatest disappointment is probably that Isaac never comes out of his excavation suit, aside from the victory pose. We couldn't even get a new homepage art for him aside from the story one!
...as far as my serious complaints, the only one I have is that I wish we could have gotten to know the Omega-3 better. They were plenty terrifying in the moment, and they definitely would have obliterated us if we'd had to face them all at once, but part of me was expecting Dex or the crazy eating chick to join us on Earth. Nah, this event was an amazing thrill ride from start to finish. I didn't hate Seeds of Redemption at all, but compared to this event it's literally night and day.
...Eh. It was an ok event, certainly better than last year's, but unlike that one (where everything felt rushed), this one felt like they were padding the runtime to make it go longer. The story being 4 parts set like a week apart from each other certainlu didn't help, either.
The ougi animations for the new characters are amazing though, not gonna lie.

Using Clair De Lune by Debussy as the theme for the event worked so well. The melancholy piano solo stood out a lot, but it was so thematically appropriate.

strong 'they were roommates' vibes in the comments
Oh, here is an interesting comment: https://old.reddit.com/r/Granblue_en..._moon_2021226/ "the Foe wasnt testing it on the village, eustace brother found it and bring it to the village so it was purely accidental in their part" Was that just the Otherworlder fucking with Eustace, or is this completely true? If so, then Heisenberg really is considerate to a fault, especially when compared to someone, like... Andrei of the Sabbat. Of course, Andrei has his own charms, like avant-garde art sculptures or taking the time keep radio hostesses company.
I'm playing through the side story about Zehek, and it just reminded me how much I hate games where the characters have literally no reflexes in cutscenes. In other words, you can't shoot Doss before he resets Unar. It's like in Tales of Symphonia where you can attack Remiel before he completes Collette's angel transformation, or in Disgaea where you can't kill Lamington before he transforms Flonne into a flower. Games, such as at least some Bethesda games (mostly older ones as the newer ones are slowly falling into that mechanic, as well), where you can just shoot the villain in mid-speech are the best. On the battlefield, there is no such thing as manners. Manners may maketh man, but soldiers need not be men, which is to say humans.
When is playable swimsuit Andira supposed to be released?
All that anticipation for swimsuit Andira was all for naught. I couldn't get her. Particularly salty, given that her design appears to be more Nezha-inspired than in-game Nezha, due to the lotus motifs.
Gotta admit, my first thought upon seeing S.Andira's uncap art was 'oh, I bet LLL would love that'. Not surprised to be proven right.
Stop sexualizing the monkey, Cygames, or at LEAST retcon her to be 2-4 years older.

Need I remind you of Io? https://gbf.wiki/images/5/56/Npc_zoom_3040015000_91.png Look. This isn't even about raw (no pun intended) loli cuteness. That's why I wasn't that crazy about swimsuit Kolulu. Swimsuit Andira is more of my Nezha fix than most portrayals of actual Nezha, and I'd like to remind you that one of the children's book that I own has Nezha being captured by demons that want to eat him. And being Chinese, even if they are demons, they refuse to eat meat raw. Cue Nezha tied to a cooking rack until he was rescued in a timely manner... I think that I mentioned all of this when F/GO Nezha was released. Basically, in GBF, Nezha is like Charlie Chaplin. He lost his own impersonation contest.
I notice that while the more "modern"-looking angels are portrayed positively in GBF, the "classic" ones are portrayed negatively: https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/pr...HZrOBY2OJCcL5A
And this is even before being infected by the Avatar of Destruction (which is totally not Satan): https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/pr...872ur7XAIm0L7U
Probably a typo, but Mena said primal breast. Nice.
Where's the Showdown treasure trade shop now? I can't seem to find it anymore.
