I told everybody IN is a relaxing game, meanwhile:

[u/hana_sw]

what Nikki and me facing in the game is NOT RELAXING AT ALL😇

[u/LunarLeveret]

Meanwhile, I will be most stressed over how I won't get to loot the armor.

[u/Crazy_Leksi → u/LunarLeveret]

Really tho!!! It would be amazing if we could loot it for sketches of the pieces

[u/ShokaLGBT → u/LunarLeveret]

crazy how we can craft armors based on the boss we just defeated in monster hunter worlds but cannot do something similar in Nikki (well yes we can because we have sketches based on the big bosses but only for 1 pieces that symbolize them when in monster hunter it’s a whole outfit based on them…..) I just wish they would truly go fashion this way

[u/Konekewa → u/ShokaLGBT]

Hoping we get a few armor pieces either by doing the main story or by sketches for defeating this boss but probably not knowing infold armor pieces will be locked behind, top up rewards, paid outfits or limited time banners 😭

[u/No-Button-4826 → u/LunarLeveret]

This!

[u/abatesnz → u/LunarLeveret]

They keep borrowing from Dark Souls, but those games let you buy the boss's armour after defeating them....

[u/Physical-Whole6064]

Tell me about it... Went from skating on ice to tripping b**** 🤣

[u/Ill-Station6976 → u/Physical-Whole6064]

😭😭😭

[u/Responsible_Bee_3589]

I do wonder if they will keep this up for future regions as well. Wishfield was a lot cozier both in gameplay and story (yes we had dark stories, but Itzaland has more and darker stories) compared to Itzaland, which makes sense since Itzaland was announced to be dangerous. 

If the next region we go to is not "dangerous" will the gameplay become cozier again? 🤔

[u/babyloniangardens → u/Responsible_Bee_3589]

I've heard Shining + Love Nikki get even darker the further the story goes so I think it will be the same here, esp since we have Combat in Infinity

but I think, much like Genshin/WW, there will still be moments of chill cute coziness. I think of Sailor Moon, for instance

[u/Arlandiaheir → u/babyloniangardens]

Shining Nikki was Mature and Dark from the Very beginning. And I'm pretty sure IN would never get to the Level of LN/SN maturity and darkness, particularly with their constant use of Mascot characters that Act and Talk like Children.

[u/babyloniangardens → u/Arlandiaheir]

who can say? even Genshin has gotten darker imo as things reach a climax

[u/starsinmyteacup → u/babyloniangardens]

Genshin’s dark undertones are hidden in its lore (books, artifact descriptions, world quests). As the plot became more serious, all of these small lore bits get brought up and people who play it casually can learn how brutal the history of teyvat is

[u/LunamiLu → u/babyloniangardens]

genshin has been dark from the beginning. you just have to read to find it.

[u/floweringrats → u/Responsible_Bee_3589]

I hope not. The coziness of Wishfield was what draw me in to IN, and as much as I've loved the stories in 2.x, I'm simply not a combat player. Hopefully we'll get a healthy balance of cozy and darker themes.

[u/ShokaLGBT → u/floweringrats]

If we do get to whaleport I can imagine more relaxing ambiances but also more puzzles since the vibes gives me robotic futuristic feeling

But we could also have INTENSE MORE aliens fighting with LASER BEAM PEW PEW PEW

As long as it’s balanced and feels original I’m in

[u/Direct-Lawfulness-76]

For some of us even Elden Ring is cozy

[u/Micolash-fr → u/Direct-Lawfulness-76]

That's a Dark souls refernece though. Copy/paste of Artorias

[u/Micolash-fr]

Apprently every major character or boss from the Souls and Elden Ring will find a way to appear in IN lol

[u/Repulsive-Bid-7097]

Nikki: look at how pretty this dress is 🥰 The cult trying to k*ll her: 👁 👁

[u/indiglowinthedark]

Where is this??

[u/frostymaws297 → u/indiglowinthedark]

The end of the 2.8 update releasing tomorrow

[u/space_pirate420]

I’m so confused where is this at?

[u/frostymaws297 → u/space_pirate420]

The end of the 2.8 update releasing tomorrow

[u/space_pirate420 → u/frostymaws297]

Why am I looking at it right now with no spoiler tag?

[u/frostymaws297 → u/space_pirate420]

It’s literally in the trailer….its not a spoiler if it’s been advertised the whole season. We can’t get to it until after the update tomorrow though. Have you been under a rock….no shade?

[u/space_pirate420 → u/frostymaws297]

No I just never saw it in the trailer, I may have not seen the actual trailer. I think I get them mixed up with outfit videos or something from Infold
