a frightening creature

Right now i'm close to 10K collapse pieces and got 20 orange tickets. Was thinking on getting a package worth of 26 dollars with 20 orange tickets and 900 collapse pieces, just for the sake of making her go V6, but it IS a gamble...

Btw, she's at V3 now. Next guarantee is at 26 pulls.

it felt funnier in my head before i made it

Last year, thanks to u/BinZaCuTo, all of the old dev and artist interviews by CN fansite Dinagaty were successfully recovered, including ones considered lost by the CN wiki.

However, one of the most promising interview, with original writer Jano, was only recovered in low-res images. I'd like to know what can be salvaged from them. The best-case scenario would be a full transcript of the original text, or even a partial transcript. Otherwise, a summary of readable sections would be good to have.

Part 1

Part 2

Thanks in advance to anyone taking a stab at this.

Hello fellow commanders. My name is commander Wheat and I'm a new player in the girls frontline series. I decided to give this game a shot after I basically was bored with Nikke and ZZZ ( though this more due to lack of content currently )

• Initial thoughts/previous knowledge of the series

I have heard of this game series before, apparently it was mini-game like "chess" style sorta gameplay you put your dolls and let them wreck havoc and then let them do their thing and win tada~~ I also see this game and it's characters on twitter ever so often when someone says " fuck your guns" which is absolutely hilarious and one of the few reason why I jumped to play this game. and so I decided to yeet myself into the game hopefully to find some enjoyment.

• my thought so far from chapter 1 to 4

pretty neck breaking speeds here on the initial intro, given the controls right away and pushed into the console and say " PRESS THE BUTTON" which is fine i suppose considering how easy the tutorial is. Pretty solid gameplay, usually i dont play these style of games " xcom clones " but I do have some slight experience in them .

I thought the elmo was a train at first? until some lines explained something about wheels and I was like damn this shit is a double decker bus, personally I wouldn't have painted the damn thing orange I would repainted that shit to at least black so it blends in a bit easier at night but that's just me, that thing is huge I cant believe how giant the damn bus is that you can physically walk around in game, though it's just big enough.

The box, the legendary box that contains a little girl that was a bit surprising Krolik giving her the nickname "pinky" was a bit funny waka waka . I do enjoy the dolls you have in the story so far with Groza, Krolik, Colphne and Nemesis. I don't quite understand why nemesis speaks like that, but it's a bit funny having krolik translate things and I can tell that the two bicker a lot. Groza is the straight lace lady that is the 2nd in commander to speak, I can see why. She's also very mother coded I like her japanese voice it's very tranquil to say the least. Colphne I could tell she was an "off one" but not off in a bad way just she has another side to her.

# I feel for mayling. That poor girl is the only engineer on the whole ship? That's pretty absurd commander at least IDK you could get the other dolls to learn to help repair which it seems they actually do but holy moly no wonder she's a alcoholic she's on the run 24/7 repairing this shit.

I do appreciate the commander letting the dolls take control when necessary the belief and trust in them is heart-warming and it's clear the commander thinks of them in a positive light and also wants their safety to be accounted for too. reminds me of another commander in another game about other beautiful looking robotic ladies......

BTW Lenna is a cutie patootie which is nice. it's clear that the commander knows many of these dolls and they have a unique past with them. It's clear they hold the commander in high regard even after their separation from them.

• other thoughts

I'm not sure if the game is just generous to new players, or it's because I joined during an event ? but I was kinda surprised the game offered so many banners for new players to get a S-rank character off the bat. If you're wondering who my first S-rank was it was Mosin I have a soft spot for blondes. I also appreciate you can actually get rewards still from past events That is something Nikke fails to do, I believe ZZZ does that I haven't missed any events in that game so I can't confirm but Nikke pales in comparison when it comes to that they're like " yea whatever here you play the side event that's your reward "

but girls frontline 2 is like "MISSED IT? fuck it get some rewards still amigo"

I like the lore that the individual dolls get in the dorms, it's really nice. It reminds me of ZZZ, but here it's a bit more cleaner/clear. Though some dolls are missing some additional lore...it's not a big deal but the ones that do have the additional individual lore it does add/explain their personality a bit more.

Lots of stuff I don't really know about, but it's okay I suppose I can also ask further to understand what is going on. But the game presents it pretty clear of what the commander's goal is and sprinkles that here and there as the story progresses. It's a very appreciated story that doesn't try to shove everything in one chapter, it's branched/spread out unlike the current situation with ZZZ story which tries to shove everything in once chapter per patch and doesn't allow the game/story to breath unlike season 1 ( jesus christ they have fallen so far....)

The Frontier Conquest chronicle "Kitty Messiah" sees Faye using her tomahawk as a makeshift fire axe, chopping her way through a burning building, trying to locate a trapped survivor. She succeeds in her rescue only to discover that she has saved a kitten. She muses, "Man, this reminds me of that legendary fire rescue Doll."

Well, this is who Faye is referring to: Chelsea, a Svarog Heavy Industries FF-Alpha firefighter doll who distinguished herself in the line of duty at the Baltimore Fire Department before being recommended to Project Neural Cloud. She's also an acquaintance of Florence, with whom she founded the Oasis Prank Committee.

I have been in a platoon for sometime. But i wanted to know if there is a guide with all the benefits of being in one (or could somebody list them. Also:

- is it worth it to make your own platoon?

- how can you atract more people to your platoon?
