Today's stream way mainly humanitarian story missions for the satellite bases again. Cradle had to do some maintenance/repair work on the anti-Aragami wall, and the Far East Branch (plus Blood) provided protection in the meantime.

Additionally, the Far East Branch agreed to move Red Rain victims to their infirmaries. Supposedly, they will receive better care there, and might receive a cure faster if and when it is found.

And also: We're now in Difficulty 4!

Don't forget that Wednesday's stream is called off due to me wanting to observe the solar eclipse, so the next stream will be on Friday.

As always, I hope everyone enjoyed today's stream. Thank you all for joining :blobcatHeart:

Aha. Ahaha. Turns out we were already done with Haruomi's Character Episodes for the time being :blobcatGoogly:

So instead, we tried to a Chimera Fang again. And failed. Because, if the drop tables are the same as in the first game, that's a Tier 4 drop. For a Tier 3 weapon. Huh :blobcatHuh:

And we did a bit of story progress. Protected Yuno and one of the proxy bases from a small group of Aragami, and found that Yuno does a lot of humanitarian work on the side, too. Because, as her manager/friend Satsuki bluntly put it: If you're not on Fenrir's payroll, you might as well not exist to the people at HQ. At least the Far East Branch people seem to have a bare minimum amount of compassion and help out the proxy bases where they can (which doesn't appear to be much).

I must be a psychic or something.

Well, I mean, it wasn't that surprising to see that Hannibal-like Aragami (which we now know to be a Rufus Caligula) pop up as a subjugation target this time around after it was so prominently chased off in the previous stream. But I still was right with my prediction :blobcatFingerGuns:

Taking down the Caligula also allowed us to get started with Gil's God Arc improvement Character Episodes (he really hit it off with Licca) and Haruomi's… uh… let's call it exploration Character Episodes. Watch the recording and judge for yourself :cirnoshock:

Alright, today's session was… a bit mixed.

For one, we completed a few story missions—a few of which were actually Character Episodes for Licca at the same time. So that's cool. As a benefit, we now also have access to more powerful Link Support Devices than before, because Licca is essentially done with her development work. Besides those, we also cleared the currently available Character Episodes for Kota and Emil, though those only required us to clear some free missions with Kota or Emil on the team.

And toward the end, we learned about what happened back when Gil was still in the Glasgow Branch, and how his nickname “Superior-Killing Gil” or “Fragging Gil” came to be. Suffice it to say: I would rather have had Gil tell me about what happened if and when he's emotionally ready to share.

Either way, I would dare say that this flashback was probably not the last time we'll see that one particular Aragami in this game.

Oh, and I said this on-stream, but I will say it again: I would 100% give Gil head pats and even give him a lap pillow if he asked for that. Same for Ciel, Nana and Erina, actually. Emil, too, I guess, but only if he stopped talking for the duration.

Two point five hours again today. Baby steps.

So, we did a few things today.

For one, we made some progress on Character Episodes. Ciel and Erina are now at a point where we cannot progress their Character Episodes yet. We're making progress on the Licca one. Kota's and Emil's are mainly dependent on doing free missions with them, so we're… getting started still, I suppose.

We also got a handful of story missions in, at least one of which could kind of be considered a part of Licca's Character Episodes. You know, since it's about the Link Support Device and all that.

Oh! And thanks to Ciel's creativity and expertise, we can now edit the uneditable Blood Bullets! Thank you, Ciel. You really don't need to apologise to us that much :blobcatHeart:

Nice, the first few difficulty 3 missions have been cleared! There was also a surprisingly low amount of free missions among all the story missions. Only one or two, methinks.

We seem to be reaping the benefits of the Far East Branch for now, what with receiving a large welcome party, equipment that allows us to buff the squad or debuff the Aragami temporarily, and, of course, having access to Licca. Hands-down the best member of the maintenance crew. That is not only because Licca is the only member of the maintenance crew we know or, indeed, have seen in the games so far.

Well, we technically did reach Difficulty 3 today. The next mission we can do after reaching the Far East Branch (I told you all roads lead to it!) is the first one from Difficulty 3. Well, guess we'll find out how that goes.

Anyway, now that we're back at the Den, not a lot has changed in the three years that have passed since the end of the first game. Erina is now a God Eater, Hibari has a new hairstyle, and Sakaki's Japanese voice acting makes him seem significantly less eccentric than the English voice acting did in the first game. Oh, and Kota has supplanted Mayumi I as Captain of the 1st Unit. Yes, that Kota.

Anyway, we'll probably learn more about the dynamics at play in the Far East Branch now starting with the next few missions.

Well, I wouldn't really call it a fun time when Ciel obeys orders to defend a machine with her life (on her own, mind you)… but this even did deepen our bond, what with us disobeying orders in order to rescue Ciel. Good job, Mayumi.

In other news, not a whole lot of stuff happened today. Repeated some free missions again because I believed I hadn't crafted a weapon before. Key word being “believed”. But we also got some other materials, crafted a straight upgrade to the starter weapon, and made some progress in the story, too.

I'm satisfied with today's performance and story-to-free-missions ratio.

Alright, we cleared a bunch of story missions today. Mostly because I already took care of the free missions last time and I currently am not hurting for materials, but… shhh!

We even encountered our first proper psion in battle today, and even took it down! It was a variation of a Chi-You which did even more flying than Chi-You are usually prone to doing, but we managed to handle it just fine :ak12Competent:

Oh, and we made a friend today, and it looks like that was a pretty big deal to them. Looking forward to working with them in the future :blobcatOwoHappy:

Well… I may be falling back to bad habits from the first game :blobcatSmileSweat: Spent a lot of time on free missions today. I should just get back to the “at most two hours of free missions” rule again :blobcatGoogly:

But we did get some story missions done with, too! We found that apparently, three years after the defeat of the Second Nova (which was almost entirely impervious to God Arcs), there are now so-called “psions”—special Aragami that can control other Aragami via resonance. Since God Arcs are pretty much just glorified artificial Aragami that were put on a stick :tone_hyperbole:, psions can also render God Arcs temporarily nonfunctional. Which sounds like a bad thing, but apparently our newly-awakened Blood Power is too powerful and Mayumi cannot be affected by that. How convenient.

Alright, sweet, that's the first God Eater 2 stream done.

Just like last time, we're barely recruited, haven't even gone through significant amounts of training, and are already effectively a squad leader. If not in name, then definitely in function.

The new game comes with a few changes to gameplay—which is unsurprising, really—as well as new and old characters. So far, nothing too disruptive.

I just miss my equipment and Predator Styles from GE:R :blobcatPuffyTears:
