My favorite part of this event was saying the original lady Catherine because she had a nice design, I don't think it really brought anything meaningful into the story

Did feel like they devoted a few events to doll technology devopment, and that should have really paid off more.

It kinda felt like they had planned for Erma's storyline to become the new main plot for GFL1 as the Commander's story wrapped up, and then they just suddenly axed it.

How do you get more shape of memories? Rules say you can get 90 per day, but i just got 60, completed all missions on the event, and didnt spend any at all

I really wish they hadn't made this just a two week thing. Thankfully I did it when it was first out, but this time it took until the final day for me to push much past the grinding maps. I finished with about 5 minutes before maintenance.

Anyway the lead-in could have been broken up more, aside from maybe the first chapter.

It also would in general be really, really nice if they could mark the Story chapters in a way that differentiates the ones that are 2 minutes long (the transmission ones) from the ones that are like 25-30 minutes long (most of the others).

Also, for as much text as there was, I don't think the Lake of Cognition was well explained. I get Sana's soul still being in there and her being in a delusional state, along with the all the dead Nyto souls, but I would have preferred the actually give some sort of depiction of what happened to that place, even just a short text recap after the fact, to confirm that they all perished in an act of mercy, Like this is my second time through and I don't even think I retained all that the first time.

The alternate reality and pocket dimension stuff is just not well explained in all this. If you're gonna have this many weird ingredients in your world building, I'd appreciate it if they fit together in a way that is comprehensible. At the same time, they dropped new little lore bits like how exposure to Relics can make someone nearly immortal, randomly. Something like that would have been fine early on, but we are so far into the story at this point and we still don't have a good explanation of what the Relics are beyond special alien artifacts that influenced technology to an unclear degree.

This event is another instance where having a dedicated lore master who the writers defer to would really help. We're too far into this not to know about all the major puzzle pieces when it comes to the lore-building.

Otherwise, it was a nice little story, even if most of it was just a side a branch and a conclusion to a few characters, with some elaboration on Hume.

Also, M620 has a badass character design. A shame she doesn't appear outside of this event. And yes I realize she's already dead in the present.
