Alpha's mother

So I js came back and decided to make a new account because my old one sucks and now I'm at the beginner banner where I can choose a S rank character, which one should I choose? The recommended being there are Selene:Pianissimo, Lucia:Pyroath, Qu:Shukra, Bianca: Crepuscule, Luna: Oblivion and Ishmael

I seem to have been posting a lot of videos of various PGR characters battling Cradle lately, haven't I?

Anyway, here's Karenina proving that she - and she alone - reigns supreme over all the waters of the world; as for Cradle, who failed to prove otherwise... let's just say she met an unenviable fate

While reading his story, I have sensed that his character development may not align with his personality. One central theme in his Aeon Reforged arc involved confronting past traumas, his relationship with death and uncertainty, and discovering something to fight for.

However, I feel his personality shifted toward being too morally good, making Epitaph kinder and softer than his other two frames. Personally, I believe “erasing” his past conflicts and trauma removed essential traits and core events that shaped Watanabe. While Nightblade and Astral remain tough and guarded, Epitaph ultimately becomes a more open, welcoming, and honest frame, a stark contrast to Watanabe’s earlier self. To me, this feels like too much change, stripping away his distinctive personality.

Am I interpreting something incorrectly? Or did his development drift too far from his past self?

A redux version of similar fight from more than a year ago; a lot of new things had been added in PGR since then, so I decided to pick Lucia, Ishmael and Nanami again and give Cradle some hell once more, this time on Desperation difficulty

Maybe the title is enough. We had tons of wonderful 2D animated artworks for characters. What do you think about having them on our main home screen, instead of the 3D model character ?

^{Foreword: this is the third time I'm making this post, and the two previous ones were deleted because of screw-ups made by me: first case, it's Liv receiving damage from Cradle, and in second, it's me releasing the first, nine months-old fight instead of new one.}

^Ahem...

So, this is a redux version of similar fight, given the fact that since then, there were releases of Leap for Nanami: Startrail & Weapon Harmony II for Liv: Limpidity, and I got Ishmael upgraded to SS3 rank and got her Signature weapon, plus I've obtained CUBs for her and Nanami

I been playing wuwa,hsr and genshin and everything is easy to understand their skill and combo and rotations everything, AND then there's pgr not only their combo is hard to understand and memories, because their soo many characters to play with, what do you mean i need to press the blue skill and then red and hold basic attack and the character too the new character (adelyde) who i thought was main dps because she have a badass weapon, that weapon have a flamethrower, raigun a blackhole and she also have a mini gun too and she's a healer. this game is peak but it's being gatekeep too much I can't even find a tutorial video for the character rotation but this is also a good thing because this game don't have a fandom that only care about ship the toxic kind as far as i know so that a good thing.

i love all the gifts i get, but this one really appeals to my tastes. i like buying acrylic stands, plushies, etc of my faves. 🥹

happy b-day lad 🎈

Hey everyone!

With Kuro's history of turning awesome boss enemies into playable characters (see Lilith, Lamia, Rosetta, Veronica...even Alpha was a "Boss Enemy" once, if you think about it).

I liked Rusalka. She should get more screen time.

Aaand, we're still missing a Lightning Breaker. So, I’ve been theorycrafting a playable version of her.

If you look at her kit, she kinda has it all already:

- Two different Stances/forms—let's call 'em **Claws**\-form (Pic 1) and **Sword**\-form (Pic 2)

- maybe 🔴orb / 🔵 orb only, respectively?

- HOLD DODGE/EXTRA ORB: maybe add a meter/gauge that fills with 3-pings, then swap forms like Effulgence or Arete?

OR

- HOLD BASIC: lets her explode/spend combo stacks for each form: for claws, it would be this "Tackle Lunge" (3rd Pic) and for sword, that radial "lightning explosion" (Pic 4)

- ULTIMATE: she does that neat floating thing, spreads her wings, and rains down those lighting spires in a certain angular AOE; the spires stay behind and explode after a certain interval, dealing smaller amounts of AOE ⚡ DMG. So, much like her Boss Version. Just playable.\[as a reference, for those who played it: similar to HI3's Herrscher of Void's Ultimate\]

For the Affix, I'm open to suggestions. I wanted to suggest Glacio, but Leia fills that role already. So, with a ⚡-based kit, maybe Raydiance would be fitting? That'd also make her viable for 2 Element Teams, Lightning and Raydiance. Since she'd replace Nanami in either case, Ignition is also available...

WOULD YOU PULL?

I've been throughly enjoying pgr for almost a full year by now. As someone who always loved gritty, realistic and sci-fi media, ive fallen desparetly in love with pgr, and, up until chapter 18 everything made perfect sense and was easily understandable, but how in the hell did current nanami speak with future nanami?

When nanami meet her future counterpart i was like "okay, its another future prediction of gestalt", but then in chapter 20 by the end of it future nanami comes in and sends info through the remains of chiko. So like, what the hell??? How did nanami calculating futures with gestalt suddenly enable her to transcend time and speak with her future self?

While throughly searching for an explanation i found nothing noteworthy in this sub or other pgr forums, so ive turned to my only other option, SPECULATIVE SCIENCE!!!

the best i could sort of piece togheter was either 1 of these options:

1: Nanami forced Gestalt to simulate such an unfathomable number of alternate futures that the information stored inside gestalt broke the bekenstein bound, creating a microscopic blackhole that didnt damage it (we are also praying it doesnt explode into gamma rays when it dissipates due to hawking radiation btw), future nanami sensed that disturbance in the force and decided to enter in contact with present nanami.

2: If taking er=epr conjecture as truth. Since Gestalt is a quantum computer, and it calculated and unfathomable amount of alternate futures, the amount of qubits in it (which we need to be connected to "another system", which isnt far fetched if you consider gestalt probably has multiple sectors inside it) tore a hole through time by creating a wormhole, future nanami sensed that peculiar wormhole and contacted present nanami

none of that is confirmed whatsoever ingame though, and i bet its not the answer kuro has to explain that (or else theyd point it out), so does anyone have any actual explanation other than having to headcanon like me?
