Alright, so today was the day for the special program for the next update. I made sure to clear my schedule a bit beforehand. You know how it is, gotta grab a drink, maybe some snacks, get comfy before the show starts. Didn’t want to miss anything important.
I fired up the usual platform where they stream it. Had to wait a few minutes for it to actually kick off, always that little bit of anticipation. Then boom, the familiar faces popped up, ready to tell us what’s coming next.
What Caught My Eye
First off, the new characters. We finally got the official look at Clorinde. Been seeing her around Fontaine, so it’s cool she’s playable now. Looks like a real powerhouse. Then there’s Sigewinne, the little nurse. Curious how she’ll play. And a totally new four-star, Sethos, electro bow user, looked interesting too. Always good to see fresh faces.
They spent a good chunk of time talking about the content:
- A new Archon Quest Interlude Chapter. Always look forward to the story stuff. Seems like we’re diving deeper into some lore, maybe Dainsleif again?
- The events looked pretty standard, but fun. There’s some kind of theatre defense game making a return, which I actually enjoy messing around with. Another combat challenge event, gotta test those builds. And some smaller stuff for resources.
- Big news was the update to the Spiral Abyss. Instead of refreshing every two weeks, it’s changing monthly now, but with more rewards overall? And they’re adding a whole new separate challenge mode thingy, looked tough, like end-game content for real veterans. Gotta see how that plays out.
Other Bits and Pieces
They showed off some quality-of-life improvements too. Increasing the Resin cap again, which is always welcome. And some other smaller tweaks to make daily playing smoother. Can’t complain about those.
And right at the very end, that little tease for Natlan! Just a glimpse, but enough to get the imagination going. Looks fiery, as expected.
Wrapping Up
So yeah, that was the stream. Watched it all the way through. Got a good overview of what patch 4.7 holds. Mostly excited for Clorinde and the new story quest. The Abyss changes are interesting, have to see how they feel in practice. Overall, felt like a solid preview. Now just gotta wait for the actual update to drop.
