yeah ngl trying to reduce key moments from the stories into 20 chapters was always going to be. a Choice (especially since they refuse to consider some mixed events that i'd argue are very "key" stories as such). 1/4 main story is kinda ??? like yeah them taking a part makes sense but also like. it's always the past and never the future with these events LMAO. but hey free crystals! (?)
(also i've seen some tweets saying wl2 wasn't mentioned at all which. lol. lmao, even. "wl2 is filler" accusations are always vindicated atp that it's not even funny)
honestly tho, this makes me wonder more what vs's memories event is even going to be about the most. 😭😭😭 i hope they allude to luka1 at least, i'd argue that's a pretty important event for them!!! but like. all miku focuses are kinda samey and WLs are fine ig? but like. lol. wonder how they'll do 20 chapters for them
also just noticed this from the alts but they removed the "woah" from before the last chorus in step for a crescent which ??? why lol, maybe they found it too awkward for the game size since it's kinda cut down from the actual song where it's a high note kinda? idk😭
i do think the thing with "key" story markers is basically. Does this information come up in an actual unit event? in which case no, so even when stuff like Mizuki NY has some significant backstory... none of that EVER gets mentioned in a future niigo event, so it's not a key story to read
yeah wl events are entirely unmentioned, i do imagine they will be mentioned in the VS one though. i suspect that one will likely condense the journey of the sekais connecting. bc every vs event is kindof literally all about that too lol
the most egregious cut is probably the akito stuff though. genuinely baffling they entirely cut out all of FAWO and overcome one's limits and also don't even mention like any of his character stuff in the unity/rekindle recaps.
the problem with this is that like every single (key story) event should have had a one chapter recap, condensing it into 20 just makes No Sense because they skip whole events and a good few that don't ignore important context. bout's only purpose in this is the ch1-2 taiga thing. it ignores the other chunk of the event where an worries about being abandoned by kohane. walk is also entirely skipped when like.. the least they should have done is go "oh yeah toya mentored under souma" because otherwise who the fuck is souma?
