So I played through episode 12 yesterday and episode 13 today between my cleaning sprees and i only cried a little maybe dozen times through it all, so all I can say is that the main story continues to deliver. Wasn't very keen on the storytelling style of ep13 at first, but definitely warmed up to it along the way. Getting scenes from the wiewpoint and in the thoughts of so many characters in just one episode turned out to be pretty refreshing. I did feel a bit overwhelmed as well but i'll put that on me chewing through it all in one day. Sometimes I feel a bit worried that where is the main story going to go after a huge chunk of it comes to a conclusion, but at the same time... If the side stories have proved anything, its that there are so many things about the entire world and lore to explore. And I have to admit I'm still getting more curious about it all. if you told me 5 years ago that the story and universe in a gacha game(derogative) is going to be something i'm obsessing over, I would've been so pissed at you even suggesting that. Anyway, its a nice feeling to be so interested in something. I've lost interest in so many things and i feel like over the years its getting harder and harder for me to really get into something.
#i'm also pretty proud of myself with how well i've dealt with the whole gacha element over these 5 years with arknights#i used to struggle a lot with putting money into games for nothing#money that i didnt even have basically#i used way too much of my student loan back in the day to buy lootboxes and other similar shit#which i will continue to regret for another 15 years more before the debt is hopefully paid off#so i have purposefully avoided any games with -put in real money for random number generator results- options#and I really REALLY just dislike the whole gacha idea and model of monetization#it is your own damn fault if you put your money in and regret it later#but the model is still distasteful and also predatory to people with existing gambling problems#As much as i really enjoy arknights i also don't like to bring it up to talk about with random people because it is a gacha#and it will always first and foremost be judged by that factor
