Zenless Zone Zero Discussion Thread

I'll be real with you chief, I checked out of the story some time ago and am more or less here for vibes
Man. I try to at least watch the cutscenes for possible feats but outside of that I don’t pay much attention to it. Spook shack was the last story quest I actually played through normally.
I haven’t even started on story yet 😭 ts so ahh
Season 1 is peak zzz
 
Lil nitpick, I find it very hard to believe that Miyabi failed to destroy the boulder. It’s made even worse when she and YX were the last group to destroy it.
You telling me Seed, Trigger, Magus and a couple dozen guns managed to destroy the boulder before Miyabi?
Or some of the dialogue with them saying they can’t keep fighting these low levels ethereals out of fear of being worn out?
😭
to be fair it's at least sort of explained by the story i guess (i just finished playing through it). iirc, the boulders were specifically being protected by miasma, so tailless wasn't as effective against it because it isn't really designed for dealing with miasma like the qingming sword and yunkui summit's techniques are. i believe during the final fight against sarah/the creator, the boulders were able to be destroyed because the miasma around them probably lowered, likely due to their connection with sarah/the creator being severed as shunguang was fighting against her. or at least, that's my theory anyways lol. as for obol squad destroying the boulder before miyabi, i don't think that's literally meant to be a strength thing, it's more so just how it was written and ordered i guess.

season 2 has definitely been a mixed bag overall but i've still been enjoying it personally. this recent story chapter definitely does have it's flaws though. i think it's just way too long tbh, and i really think a lot of this would've been remedied if shunguang was introduced way earlier so they wouldn't have to bloat the chapter doing all this exposition with shunguang, her relationship with the proxy, and the qingming sword and the truth behind it. it had some cool lore tidbits though, and i'm excited to learn more about sunbringer and the truth behind the VH weapons in season 3
 
Also Sarah has like no facial expressions bruh, they didn't even have time to rig anything onto her, unless that's intended which might be worse 😭
that felt intentional to me. the creator was basically puppeteering her body and speaking through her, so imo that made sense

Too much lore bomb lol

Lord and lady Sunbringer????

Golden mecha lore??????
i thought the lore tidbits were cool at least. definitely interested to learn more about lady sunbringer, and
the mention of that floating island makes me think that's where we're going for season 3.

i still feel like a lot of the issues i have with this story chapter would've been remedied if they just introduced shunguang way earlier into the season. a lot of this chapter was spent focusing on her relationship with the proxy + the background/mystery behind the qingming sword which made the chapter overall feel way more bloated. if they had introduced her earlier i think they could've spread her development with the proxy + the qingming sword subplot out more to make it feel more cohesive. would've made her care for the proxy feel a lot less shoehorned in imo
 
Fair enough

I think the problem was too many plotlines converging. Everything we learn that's supposedly important is treated like a footnote. Like Zhao trauma dumping or the bombshell that Yunkui Summit was literally hunting orphans to give them cursed weapons against their will. Too much shit going on.

LoL

Yunkui summit's files situation is crazy
 
on a scaling note it's a little disappointing there weren't really any super noteworthy feats, at least from what i can recall. best i can remember would be like, zhao and shunguang moving fast enough to protect the proxy i guess

i guess that means we can get the big CRT we had planned out for the series though
 
been a while since i've made any character profiles since i've been busy, but i decided to cook up a profile for shunguang since i figured it'd be nice to get her profile done sooner rather than later. not finished with it yet since i still need to properly link everything but i figured i'd send it here since i have most of it done to get some general thoughts. pretty sure i got most of her abilities down but i might've forgotten something

Does the Sword Seeker Chronicles event provide any extra info? Haven't played through it yet myself, but it seems to center on Shunguang and the Qingming Realm, so there MIGHT be something else there. Again, though, haven't played that one yet.
 
it seems like it's setting up to shunguang being able to fully master the qingming sword and use it without any negative reprecussions. it's not finished yet but i can update the profile if it ends up giving her that. it also gives her a bunch of miscellaneous stat buffs and effects to her moveset, but considering they're tied to the event, i'm hesitant on putting them into her profile as i wouldn't really consider those buffs standard
 
Finished the latest story chapter.

That's substantially better than a lot of chapters.

Like significantly.

Elder Lu and Lockspring are more substantive characters than Qingyi, Yanagi, Miyabi or Burnice were in their chapters.
 
It's finally time:

genuinely crazy to see them actually in the game after being teased for so long 😭
 
Playing the Sword Seeker event and shit bro where was this development and growth for Ye Shunguang in the main story, I like her so much better here 😭

Well, you can probably developing your character better without New Eridu hanging by the thread
 
The Angel of Delusion bot forms remind me a lot of Medabots. Does anyone know that or am I too unc for referencing that
