GODDESS OF VICTORY: NIKKE | OLD TALES Special Animation Full Ver.

[@a.s.raiyan2003-4]

They nailed it. The creepy design of the queen, the battle choreography. They even put in all the fanservice shots. Good job guys at A1.

[@DoukNoukum]

They also made the Nier Automata Anime successfully

[@rhysofsneezingdragon1758]

I like that the music stops the second the Queen opens her face. Cinderella learned she not built for this

[@phothewin6019]

I will give Cinderella some credit though. I think it's impressive that she was able to hold her own for a bit against the final boss of their verse. She may very well be both the strongest Nikke in history and the strongest Nikke of today.

[@koanos2448]

She was built to do this with a Squad, impressive she was able to do this alone really.

[@bonabonatex8011]

Dont think she is the queen

[@gigaslave]

Alas, she tried to solo a raid boss.

[@TakiGamesOfficial]

Cinderella was pounding the crap out of the Queen or whoever that was. She just got cocky. Its how she lost to Levi and the Goddess Squad as well. She would probably win every battle if she did what Anachiro did during the initial space elevator mission. Keep at a distance and unleash a never-ending barrage of beams and don’t stop shooting. Cindy is more than capable of mass destruction it’s just her hubris kind of gets in the way.

[@vollied4865]

Queen now either stuck in orbit or had a very unpleasant trip back to earth like our beloved Cindy I can't wait to find out which

[@ayumuaikawa]

for a space elevator to work, it technically should be pulled from both ends, which mean the station shouldn't be attracted by the earth and should be drifting somewhere

[@agentepolaris4914]

​@@ayumuaikawaso, she drifted away from Earth?

[@Cyriusization]

well the common theory is that the queen smh got lilith head and used it to kinda repair herself, she cant produce new raptures anymore though

[@agentepolaris4914]

@Cyriusization and how did she used her head to do that?

[@ayumuaikawa]

@@agentepolaris4914The scientifically correct answer would be yes she is drifting away from the earth, now the Nikke sci-fi science may differ, we will see, tbh my guess is she is indeed drifting away, and a rapture did assume the role of "acting queen" and to achieve that they had to merge a rapture with liliweiss head, like some sort of arachne. But this is only a theory of mine, it would be interesting because that would leave the possibility in a distant future to go to space and meet the original queen that may have repaired it and colonised another planet or the moon.

[@XG417]

Cinderella is the only individual to date to have seen the Rapture Queen up close and personal.

Finally have this in high resolution to share with friends.

[@littlekirby6]

friends?

[@erdrick8670]

@littlekirby6 yeah, a friend of mine has really been enjoying the recaps of the story I've been telling her. She really liked the animation too. Though a bit somber about the ending itself.

[@a.s.raiyan2003-4]

The fact that nobody would know of the sacrifices Siren, Abe, the Twins, and especially Cinderella made. How they gave humanity a fighting change as well as severely damage the Rapture Queen. They'd only praise the Goddess Squad, not knowing the bravery of the Fairy Tale Squad. But we will, we will give them the happy ending they deserve and take down the Queen.

[@MajesticPink]

That is precisely why they were a Fairy Tale Squad... It's just a fairy tale parents in the Ark can tell their children for a good bedtime story 🥲

[@agentepolaris4914]

I've heard rumors rhat the sleeping princesses Alice is watching over are Siren and the twins.

[@zacksilverstone7642]

Cinderella: Dominates the fight like the boss she is. The Queen, entering her 2nd phase: 2:40 *"IMMA FIRIN' MAH LAZAR!!!"*

[@koanos2448]

Everyone forgets Bosses have at least two phases.

[@nikospatouxeas4877]

Just like fighting the Dark Lord who spams you with basic attacks and you get shocked when you learn the hard way that you ain't ready

Shift Up: "I assure you, dear viewer, the gyatt shots at 0:10, 1:15, 1:42, and 2:13 were absolutely necessary for the plot."

Prepare your Wallet then.

[@moisesezequielgutierrez]

Animation ain't cheap ya know

[@croc-kun53]

It's not that easy though 😅

[@TheUnknownD]

It's coming.

[@gigaslave]

The Queen Q-001. Look at the three stars on her forehead, the numbered chestplate, and her wings. Now, compare her to Marian's Second Affection skin in details, with the wings, the 02 markings, and her crown of stars. Chatterbox was genuine about wanting her to be his Queen.

I'm curious about WHY they want a new or another (?) Queen?!

[@zanard33]

Do you know who also has those stars? Aria. Three queens.

[@gigaslave]

Cinderella did so much damage to her and stranded her in orbit, so Chatterbox has been trying to make a replacement since the stopgap they have with Lilith's head isn't enough. Based on Enikk's confession in CH14, Chatterbox blackmailed her into giving up Nikkes as tribute for his Build-A-Queen project, and Marian was the most compatible with it. Last Kingdom saw her flex her Royal Authority for the first time when she told Chatty and Indi "Sudo don't come near this place ever again" and they were forced to obey.

[@gigaslave]

@@zanard33 Rapi has stars on her beret after CH34, she's on her way there too.

@@gigaslave Makes sense. I'm probably trying to think too complicated about it. Highly likely that Chatterbox is "born" at the same time as the Queen, so he/she (what gender is Chatterbox?! xD) knows what happened

[@Top_Nepper]

Shift Up set the bar high with the Red Ash Event so my expectations were very high for Old Tales and oh boy did they deliver. Cinderellas character growth was so great to see. Rewatching Cindys death in Red Ash hits so different now given the much needed context. Can't wait for Shift Up to knock it out of the park again next year!

[@ubermatrix]

Not only Cinderella, Abe story awesome too...Well, tragic but still

[@TheBubbeloo]

Curious of the next half-anniversary. Will it be another story in the past or like Last Kingdom where it's a side story in current timeline.

[@ubermatrix]

@@TheBubbeloo I think it will be side story, they tell main story in new chapters and some epic moments on anniversary...but these are just guesses.

[@EliteSCM]

Honestly I don't know if they will be able to top this next year. Maybe the adventure of Lilith and the LC or the story of Lilith "sister" the 1st fairy tail model. But I don't know how much sadder those stories can be compared to this.

[@MakutaAMVs]

Certainly hits hard & different. Anyway I still haven't figured out if Red Ash event & Old Tales are part of the main timeline or are alternative events. Since Cinderella is alive I ask as a non-expert of the game 🙏

[@Ars3nLup1n]

0:57 What the hell is this blue piece of metal? Why do we have a shot specifically on this random blue piece of metal, in the middle of a pretty clean room? What are you trying to tell us Shift Up? I swear, if it's an important piece of a larger lore puzzle, I'm gonna lose my mind.

Possible. Can't imagine that Cinderella was the first one to fight the Queen and/or it's related to the origin and what happened up there

[@Laury2Seas]

Ooooooh good point!

[@MajesticPink]

What I can tell you is that Cinderella jumped on that piece. She knew to whom it belonged and it's daunting when she made that sad face😢

[@purplelotus531]

first thing come to mind is the blue nikke gear like helmet or chestplate

@@purplelotus531 Hansel & Gretel, maybe

Heavy Rain? Oh no, it's time to cry even harder.

[@ThierryWilliamson]

God, I loved this animation so much. This entire event was incredible. It’s what a prequel SHOULD do. Despite knowing what is to come; you WISH things would be different. This event could have easily been a movie. It was epic, tragic, and hopeful, and all around absolutely beautiful. I loved the characters, and was captivated the entire time. When this cutscene happened I was blown away. This event cemented the love that was building after starting this game a few months ago. Thank you, Shiftup. Thank you for this game.

[@AristoM90]

this event is so good, that we were spoiled about the ending twice in both RedAsh and main story, and yet we are all here for the journey and still sobs at the story

[@czwlxs]

the Cinderellass is peak

[@Sara_Valestein]

Extremely good. 😢Really would like a full 12 episode series with this animation quality ❤

[@monkeyprime6605]

why limit to 12 eps/1 season? why not at the very least 1 season, and then more if there's still more content to be covered?

[@Sara_Valestein]

@@monkeyprime6605 If I keep my expectations low I will never be disappointed . Learned my lesson multiple times

It needs 60 at least

[@azracore3974]

Every time I think "theres no way Nikke can top themselves" they manage to not only do it but make it totally peak. Old Tales was no exception.

[@liasIias]

This was hands down the most amazing lore drops we got in this event, including the original Rapture Queen being Eldritch af. It skyrocketed Old Tales to the top of my favorite events list.

[@MeowPh1]

[@gsainoy]

this game is one of the best cases of " Maybe judge it by its cover " witnessing Old Tales as a new new player was beautiful

[@zy01]

I wonder what that blue piece of metal was? Who owns it? Where is it from? Why was it not removed from that place?

[@moefactor4714]

That's a good question... if they showed it that way, it's important and worth considering, though there's a chance we'll never know (because Cinderella separated the space station from its elevator) unless they show a separate story, as it's speculated that the "Queen" is actually Sleeping Beauty, as she has 00-1 on her chest and it's like Lilith mentions in Red Ash that she cared about "00-1".

[@zy01]

@ possible. The failed prototype before Liliweiss. The one where she felt bad about like Liliweiss could’ve done something for her. Although Marian/Modernia had a 00-2 appear on her too, right? So it might just be numbering. I think the commander will be able to go to a space station in the future though.

[@moefactor4714]

@@zy01 The fact that Marian was given a number would confirm that Marian is the next Queen of Rapture and would also possibly confirm that the Queen of the space station is also a "Queen" and was previously a Nikke (considering her appearance which was an abomination compared to Marian after 100 years of technology). Furthermore, Marian was the only Heretic who didn't have a transformation in Rapture compared to the others, instead she was given a Mecha in the form of the Queen Bee of Rapture, strengthening the theory (already confirmed in Last Kingdom) that Marian is the next possible Queen of Rapture.

only yesterday ... be known to me tat in Old Tales Mini game.. tat all the Rapture tat ive farm is actually Nikkes ... bcoz the Mini game is actually Cinderella mind fighting her corrrution... theres also the 4boss fight.. indicating they are actually Goddess Squad. also in da tricky jumping (wow you are a super player) section, what seems to be humanity last line of defence ( regular human army) with all line up artilery, all the raptuee there die with a single hit. geeezzz tat so deep. i love playing Nikke wit all its lore n deep Fshadowing... sory im not good wit english

[@springuzumaki1500]

I was extremely sadden when she lost. Even though I knew she wasn't going to cause of the main story. I lowkey still had hope. At least she slowed down the production of raptures.

One of the best event story I've been playing so far My opinion the best of the best event story list : 1. Old Tales & Red Ash 2. Overzone 3. Miracle Snow (correct me if the name was wrong) 4. Brand New Year 5. Life Again 6. Neverland

[@Oneulbaebae]

3:10 i think this is the most important part cinderella using her last power to destroy the satelite , and in the end we see lily "a sleep" then we see the comet (presumably cinderella drop to the surface)

[@DTisEmo]

That smile Cindy gives after winning the beam of war is such a kick in the teeth. I can't believe I didn't notice it the first watch. I need to find some saccharine nonsense now that the event is over. And here I thought NNP was depressing.

Man, you cant help but wonder what would have happened if Cinderella hadn't been corrupted. I bet if she had collabed with the goddess squad they could have 100% won against the Queen. Stupid Red Shoes, screwing everything up

[@lordseth2944]

If they did make this into an anime I'd defininitly watch, though if they were to stay true to the games story I'd expect it to be pretty gory with raptures turning humans and nikke into swiss cheese to really push why people and even Nikke in this world have mental break downs of fear whenever a rapture is seen.

This was a very nice callback to Stellar Blade. Eve going up the orbit elevator, fighting Democrawler; an abomination hooked onto the space station with wires, and being thrown out into space. Even the OST for this event felt very Stellar Blade-esque. The whole scenario mirrors these two games very well, can’t wait for the inevitable Stellar Blade Nikke collab!
