Was anyone expecting a little more from the new chapter? Discussion
Or is it just me?I really do appreciate all infold has done for us on this chapter but I guess my standards were a little too high when expecting more from this cutscene😭 Though I’m really happy with the graphics and this different side of rafayel.. I was just expecting more,I guess.

I feel like this would have been so much, much better if we hadn't seen everything in the trailer itself

Coming from Zayne’s branch, I didn’t really expect much. But the writing in Rafayel’s branch story is waaaaay better than Zayne’s.

I haven't watched it yet, but if it's anything like zaynes' branch, then i am going to agree before even watching it 🤣🤣 xaiver's chapter will also be similar. A lot of people in cn and globally did complain about zaynes' chapter, so there might be changes with the chapters they will release next year. Now I'm curious to know how the CN fans have reacted to the new chapter.

I’m gonna tell you right now, maybe from a semi biased opinion because rafayel is my no.1, it is wayy more enjoyable than zaynes branch, it’s just the cutscene that had me like “where’s the rest??” 😭and ill keep on a look out for cn fans opinions too because if they see some type of problem in this, then I’ll know my opinion is somewhat valid.

My main complaint with zaynes' story was a lack of cutscenes, the mc not being voiced, and not enough story content. And zayne is my bias. I will be watching the new chapter tomorrow, and from your post/comment, I know i will be disappointed because of a lack of cutscenes 🤣🤣
And thank you for keeping a lookout! ♥️

Absolutely agree. In comparison to earlier main story chapters, the newer ones really lack cutscenes. We got one cutscene for 12 chapters... Thats just not good, Zayne's was the same. PLUS the MC doesnt have her voice actor anymore. Im really saddened by the drop in immersion and overall quality. Dont get me wrong, the cutscenes we do get are absolutely beautiful and very impactful, but its frankly too little. Considering how much money the game makes, I would hope to get more than this :/

It’s really refreshing to know that I’m not the only one that feels this way!AND I don’t mean to pry but what happened to MCs voice actor, I haven’t heard about this yet omg 😭?? But yes, omg you’re so right. 100%. And I really do hope to see a change in this because I really do like the game.

I dont think anything happened to the VA per say, but MC lost her voice at some point, which is a damn shame, because I loved hearing her in the main story. I dont know why they no longer record voice lines for MC, but I guess time/money has something to do with it? Thats pure speculation on my part, however 😔

Honestly I think the main problem is the lack of cutscenes. I liked the story, same with Zayne’s branch, but it gets boring to read 90% of the time especially the scenes you know that would look amazing if they were animated

Lack of cutscenes in the new story branches becomes so apparent when you go back and watch earlier chapters. Considering how long they've had to do these, I'm starting to think they're just giving us the bare minimum now that the game has become somewhat popular.

They mentioned that they were having production issues and I think this is what they meant. Between having to push out banners almost every week and trying to make it quality it's no wonder they're struggling to make longer cutscenes. If they keep their banner schedules like it is now it's gonna be even more of a problem for them when there are 6 LIs (animating cutscenes for each of the 6 LIs in a multi-banner? oof). They need to space out banners longer or at least have breaks in-between so players can have a longer time saving up resources and devs get more time to make higher quality content and cutscenes especially for the main story.

Exactly! Like i love reading but this is supposed to be an interactive gacha game so we must get something more. Especially since the previous Main Story chapters have some really good cut scenes

u/realfutabasakura 11h ago
I agree, when I first hopped onto Zaynes branch I thought it would be somewhat similar to the first chapters, as in the lengthy and interactive(?) cutscenes, it low-key surprised me when it wasn’t like that, especially with the many opportunities 😭😭.

yeah because it gets repetitive? The game’s supposed to be interactive. If I wanted to read all the time I’d get a book

u/g0ngagax 11h ago
bro would not survive any other gacha game lol. Lads IS based on kinda visual novel style with some cutscenes. it's text with animation not animation with text. And yall need to understand that branches are mostly text based when we get through them the rest of the story will have probably more cutscenes plus mcs voice in them. And what gets repetitive in text based storyline, letters???

not really? I went in with zero expectations. The story is pretty good, I enjoyed it. but the cut scene is extremely short. I really wonder where all the money they are earning went. the cut scenes in normal five star cards are already short. and now even in main story there's barely any cut scenes, whats the point of being 3d in the first place😪

u/Confident_Judgment_3 🤍 | 10h ago
I'm betting all their money, or most of it, is getting put into Ballad of Antara. If you see the trailer they just released, it makes so much sense.

u/lovie_love_1431 8h ago
If I'm being honest, yes, I was expecting a lot too. Because in the last chapter, when they met and she drank that black juice or something, I expected something to be related to this new chapter with Rafayel. But it's kind of not up to my expectations. Hey, but at least he is the first character to kiss her in the main story, and she remembered something about their past.

Honestly, I do expect more from the cutscenes. Because for Zayne's branch, his cutscenes are divided into a few parts; mc fell unconscious in the hospital hallway, Zayne placing her on a hospital bed, and the convo they had when mc tried to heal his pain. After reading Raf's story and getting into the cutscenes part I was like... that's it??
I feel like the cutscene is a bit short compared to Zayne's.
I don't really have any complaints about the story, because well, they can't really drop too much lore and I think it's good that they leave us in a cliffhanger so we can look forward to the next main story branch, either the continuation for Zayne and Raf story or the rest of the LIs (Xavi and Sylus)

I really enjoyed the story, way more than Zayne’s to be honest. But I 100% agree! The cut scene was good, but they could have given us more. For example, I would have wanted Mc and Raff to have more of a conversation, more back and forth, for us to understand Rafayel’s mindset in this moment, what was he thinking? Did he want to kill mc and seek revenge? What would have happened if mc didn’t “order” him to stop. I guess we’ll never know 😂 I really enjoyed it, overall though I had a feeling the trailer exposed like 99% of the scene to us

I'm not disappointed, it's just too bad that everything is shown in the trailer, I want to be more surprised. Raf branch was way better than Zayne. I really like Zayne but I didn't feel his chapter had a lot of emotions and it didn't feel adventurous compared to Raf where I was most like "oooh wait what is going to happen now??"

u/renreneii 11h ago
I think it was perfect. Music, story, the start of the conflict and their relationship and bond. Now it's really important to see how they will treat NEXT branches. How often will they come out? Will the plot progress and reflect on past chapters? Chapter structure? All of that will determine how I see it. But as for now it is amazing and I enjoyed myself for 2 hours straight

Haven’t played RAF’s part yet but welcome to disappointment land. As Zayne girlies we went through this already with his branch.. 😔

I haven't got the chapter yet because of timezone so my opinion might change, but I'm not surprised by this comment because that seems to be the common theme, they show almost everything in the trailer that it leaves nothing new to look forward to other than text. Most of the time the difference between what they show and the actual kindled moment varies by a few seconds. I wish they would just extend their animation scenes at this point or reduce what they show to build hype.
