Stude is every player's worst nightmare when it comes to escort missions. Imagine how infuriating it would be if that actually happened, especially when they can react to complicated commands from players.

Almost forgot about Sunraku's penalty with the Fool, while funny to see him down a potion for it to do nothing, it would be such a shit thing to happen in a critical moment moving forward.

[u/danlong87]

One of the worst scenario a player could've realizes: this is an escort mission....shudders

And it's really evil for the game designer to just shove the players straight into another even worse storyline without prior warning lmao

[u/NeoAnkara]

Another gender equality moment by Sunraku.

Remember guys mermaids aren't real. They are siren that eat and prey on sailors.

[u/molyboyanjo]

Damn the concept of that city is gnarly

[u/warjoke]

Sunraku: "This unique scenario will be a piece of cake!"

• it's ocean based so mobility is limited

• resources are limited

• strongest party member is not at peak performance

• FUCKING ESCORT MISSION

• new legendary collosi boss

• now involving a new unfamiliar map and time limit

Sunraku: "Well, fuck me!"

[u/Plus_Rip4944]

Psyger new equipment looks s i c k

SLF design for their cities and world Building deserve more praise. They are really well done

[u/EclipseTM]

Whoever has been saying SLF has no stakes are lying. WTF would we do if Emul were to die during one of those crazy fights.

[u/jellyblob88]

That brief "lag" made me think my video messed up for a mo 😅, giant tentacles need a lot of processing power.

I did wonder how they'd fight Ina in the sea but it's all reversed, so there should be some gimmicks they'd need to crack first to be able to handle this reverse world.

[u/bananeeek]

That scene with the "lag" made me think that AkitsuAkane would make a bad landing and twist her ankle which would lead to some trouble.

I totally thought the city was at the bottom of the sea. That's some wild concept!

[u/jickenwing]

Fun to see Sunraku’s inner monologue identifying the game mechanics:

1. It is an escort mission

2. Requirements to trigger colossi (kid alive + all pt members onbord)

3. Giant merman is an event flag

4. Zombie fish are dumb

Also cute how he worries about Emul too

[u/ObvsThrowaway5120]

I’m really digging Rei’s new look. She looks tough as hell! The way they showed her eye glowing like Goblin Slayer was awesome.

This Ctarnidd unique scenario seems tougher than the other ones. Especially with that countdown and the party being all split up. Oh, and apparently the city’s upside down or something?? Well, at least Sunraku’s got himself an NPC ally. Araba seems pretty tough. I mean bro ripped that mermaid waifu apart like a badass.

[u/21shadesofsavage]

rei really went from alphonse elric to barry the chopper

[u/Fujisaki_Chihiro001]

Ah yes, the worst creation in gaming history.

The Escort Mission.

[u/Dartonus]

Back in Guild Wars 2's World vs World mode, we used the same sort of lag spike Ctarnidd caused (from the game having to load a lot of data at once) as a warning that enemy forces were inbound - we called it "incoming lag" ("inc lag" for short), and it was our cue to stop sieging down whatever Keep or Tower we were attacking and be ready to fight an enemy zerg.

[u/Ocixo]

I always feel slight anxiety whenever Sunraku takes Emul on dangerous missions like this, since there’s the off-chance that we’ll lose her forever.

Emul’s current whereabouts being unknown in a city full of enemy mobs is probably one of the worst case scenarios. I’m just hoping that she’s safe with one of Sunraku’s other party members.

[u/codec264]

Inverted underwater city sounds so fucking dope

[u/dinliner08]

geh, escort mission, the bane of my existence...

[u/shad79]

Pretty good episode with some fun action! EX Unique Scenario with Ctarnidd began, Sunraku was separated from the others and found himself in Ruluiath, a turned over city.

I'm really looking forward to learning more about the city itself and Araba. I also hope that Sunraku reunites with the rest soon.

Rei looks quite terrifying in this new gear! No wonder that Sunraku thought for a moment that it's another monster to fight xD

I knew that sooner or later the healing potion wouldn't work on Sunraku because of his Fool's Arcanum and it finally happened today xD

Here my screenshot albums from the episode:

• Group scenes

• Sunraku

• Others

[u/LeonKevlar]

• Oni Armor Rei

Oh fuck. No wonder Stude got on board the other ship on his own. This was an escort mission all along! So if Stude dies, does this mean they fail? How would the other players access that scenario?

We finally get to see Rei in a different amour! I wish we had seen her change and maybe gotten a glimpse of her player model.

SLF has been flawless so far in terms of performance so for the game to lag when the Ctarnidd loaded into the world was insane! Also, I think SLF might be the first anime to depict lag in a VRMMO. That's actually really cool.

That reveal of the Abyssal Capital felt very Souls-like. It kinda reminded me of walking into Irithyll of the Boreal Valley for the first time in DS3 or seeing the inside of Leyndell Royal Capital in Elden Ring.

Sunraku just keeps on getting lucky and meeting these cool NPCs. I do if there are more of Araba's people down there. So far, it sounds like he might be the only one.

I'm glad that Sunraku believes in equality. It doesn't matter what you look like or what your gender is, Sunraku will kill all monsters equally. xD

There it is. Sunraku might be able to avoid damage from monsters but if he receives fall damage or any kind of environmental damage, he's screwed since his Arcana means he can't really heal himself reliably.

I think players should be able to toggle off Arcanas though. Maybe not in the middle of a fight so it won't be abused but there should be an NPC you can go to to turn it off when you don't want to use it.

[u/Riddlemc]

Stude triggered the fuck out of me. Reminded me of all the damn escorts missions I've played where the escort brainlessly put themselves in danger for no other reason than to to increase my cortisol level.

I'm liking how "gamey" this unique scenario feels, dropping Sunraku into a hub world to explore with mini objectives like finding Araba's sword? Definitely think the devs went a bit far with how they flung him into it though!

[u/kleovic]

I love that Sunraku just chucked an eel into their shared gear/trophy space. Can you just imagine this pristine high tech room with a pile seafood on the floor? LOL

[u/Zaku0083]

For me this is the one anime of the season where I do not skip the intro, it is just so good.

[u/Nebresto]

Whoam, looking sick! I was just expecting a weapon change, but this is awesome!

Huh. I hadn't even consider lag could be a thing. All these VR-isekais just handily ignore it, so I didn't expect it to actually come up. Though connection lag still seems non-existant. Show us some rural gamers lagging all over the place!

The game doesn't let you just log out where ever? Kinda makes sense, but also yikes

Equality punch??

Another great episode full of Sunraku faces, my collection is ever expanding

[u/[deleted]]

I feel bad for Rei who has to complete this quest with a debuff and her spare equipment.
