One funny thing to note in regards to "If they wanted a hardcore game project moon shouldn't have made it a gacha" is that Limbus is literally only a gatcha because PM ran out of money and it was a last ditch effort to keep the studio afloat + fund the next game.(Though limbus seems to have absorbed the 'next game' into itself over time.) This was explicitly admitted during development/the announcement.

Having a game treat me like I’m an adult with reading comprehension and not feeding me the information like a baby like genshin and also having characters that are built up to be likable and not just dropped off traits that are good and wow heroic instead we have a bunch of misfits, which is hella relatable, and having a story and world that fucking goes so hard that most other games wouldn’t even step a single foot in.

[@niksoncutts]

That's one of my favorite parts about Limbus, all the dialogue has meaning and doesn't take three hundred years of lore dumping to get through. Other gacha games are like we MUST tell you about the ENTIRE HISTORY of this region and its people whenever anyone speaks, but Limbus just.....delivers the plot.

i think that's my main reason why i love limbus. the characters are flawed in so many ways and are unabashedly allowed to be. i did like genshin and i do like wuwa but give my characters some flaws please!!! make them bad people or just flawed people! biggest time they've ever dropped the ball was furina in which i love her and i love her story but the end conclusion being that she did nothing wrong ever felt just a little bit unsatisfying, and there are many such cases of this!!

11:05 One of Limbus Company's primary perks in terms of gacha is that it manages to overcome the character bloat by just... restricting you to your twelve guys. That's your entire playable cast. You do not draw any new guys from the gacha - rather, you draw alternate universe versions of your 12 guys (though, of course, some of them are based on the characters you meet in the plot). Because of that, it doesn't NEED to turn plot into character advertisements, it doesn't NEED to tell you the character's entire deal; it can take its sweet time setting them up, giving you foewshadowing, and having you guessing about what the FUCK their entire deal is. Instead of creating a bloated BREADTH of characters, Limbus gacha provides a layer of DEPTH by not only providing extra worldbuilding, but also showcasing you various facets of your ever-present 12 guys. How would they behave if they were an employee in an overworked assassin guild? How would a straightforward guy who doesn't like being sneaky fit in? Could he, perhaps, fare better in a detective guild, or as a harpooner on a ship that hunts terrifying beasts? A timid boy escaped the fate of being recruited by a violent cult leader who massacred his family - what if she succeeded? What kind of headspace would he have after being coaxed to do the deed himself? Why would a big taciturn frenchman become a rapier-wielding livestreamer? All of these examples are actually in the game, I did not make them up.

I know Limbus doesn't do this exactly but many people don't like seeing this kind of difficulty spike in a gacha of all things.

[@MrZalgo-ml2iw]

PM actually resolved the whole issue with difficulty recently since they included a unique system called Chain Battles, where when a Sinner dies, they get replaced by a different sinner in backup. This allows for a lot of room for error and gives PM more breathing room as to how they design fights. Their is one particular fight in Canto 7 that takes advantage of the new system and the whole fight is both incredibly difficult but very fair at the same time to players.

[@tylerulfmann4586]

It’s a neat system that allows a significant more margin for error Though I still wished the dead sinners provided a bit of sin resources for the reinforcement Then again removing the SP cost for death as long as there is one more in the chain is already a significant help option

At the same time, chain battles only exacerbate the issue of grinding even further. Sure you don’t need to have all 12 of your sinners be up to level, but it’s still more tickets you have to farm to make good enough use of the mechanic. Hopefully Pmoon continues to add more ways to farm necessary resources, since it’s still a pretty big grind fest even with the change to leveling and improved luxcavations (changes that a new player won’t even get to feel until canto 7 anyways lmao)

​@@dep7910the last part is crucial, like by the time "new" player gets to 7th canto he is by no means can't be considered a new one, however seeing how with every new canto all the previous ones are becoming winratable and speedrunnable no wonder that even at 7th canto some call themselves "new".

I think the biggest issue with Limbus' difficulty is actually the grindy issue you talked about. Keeping IDs on-level is remarkably tricky, and I still don't have a functional team of each archetype despite being a day 1 player. (Which means I'm working with all the limited event, RR, and Battle Pass resources that new players don't and can't get) The game's difficult fights expect you to have a variety of IDs built, and it is not afraid to throw things at you that are explicitly bad for certain types of ID. And it's hard enough for newer players to keep one team on-level, let alone having to build an entire second one, especially since the EXP luxcavation stages are story-locked. Things have gotten better thanks to the new/returning player rewards, the level 45-50 EXP curve, and the Canto 7 Luxcavation releasing before the actually hard fights in the season, but it's still very much not great, and I hope they increase EXP income more somehow.

There was a couple updates about increasing the average of exp tickets so leveling would be a lot more level In the current implementation it costs quite a lot of modules still for a team I think I burned through about 50-70 for my second team It’s nice you get an archetype effectively for free if you fill out a season pass worth of XP But I still feel it’s definitely a solid commitment and your probably gonna pick out 2-3 teams to really specialize into it On a lighter note the thread up by about 20 percent was a really solid improvement

[@Dr0dd]

really would appreciate if Dungeon and daily fights at least gave additional exp to characters like the story fights do.

[@codebreaker1o119]

I think it's a matter of keeping what you wanna play up to date. I actually think the biggest problem is that new players trying the game can play comfortabley for first 4-5 cantos or so but then get absolutely smashed for not having enough id's or resources. I think having some welfare stuff in each canto or intervello would help new player trying to catchup. The newest boss really showcases this in that most of the people struggling are people who don't have id's to use the chain battle to it's fullest.

[@mach3676]

6:40 The Luxcavations for threads give more if you skip them with bonuses though. That's what I would usually do for dailies then do normal exp luxcavations.

[@haryok8940]

Its still better to play normally if you have time for that, skipping only gives 1.5x rewards for 2x cost, which is clearly inefficient

[@Duarte_GB]

It's not more, they give you the same value. With bonus on threads skipping gives you the same as doing 1 bonus lux and 1 non bonus lux. So skipping 3 times is like doing 3 bonus luxes and 3 non bonus luxes. This is less efficient on modules still because you don't have much reason to do luxes without the bonus and you did the equivalent of 3 of them, however, its completly fine if you're not min maxing and not that big of an issue. It's still 75% effiecient if I rememeber correctly. The exp lux should be done manually anyways to get the daily bonus of killing enemies and it can be winrated most of the time.

[@terq8370]

@@haryok8940 Imo skipping THREADS is efficient. They're limited by daily bonus rewards and doing it manually at least once takes a while with any team. And they still cost 2/4 modules per run/skip unlike exp luxcavations that cost 3/6 now and are much faster (and can be winrated because winrating in focused encounters SUCKS). And 1 module is 1 hour of wait so 12 modules a day out of 24 (in case you don't refresh with lunacy) shouldn't be THAT conserning unless you die hard md slave.

[@mach3676]

@@haryok8940lemme rephrase my comment. The thread lux is more worth it if you skip since you only have 3 bonuses per day and skipping gives you 1.5x more rewards. Whilst the exp lux is better if you just do them normally. So what I would do is just skip threads 3 times for the bonus and do exp normally to do my pass dailies.

Speaking of barriers to enjoy a game, this is the main reason why Nikke is pretty scummy: by the time you get to chapter 15 you are capped in progress by your character levels, which cannot progress past 160 without having five SSR characters limit broken three times. You can struggle to chapter 18 because the game provides three level 200 support characters, but if you want to go any further you either have to wait several months to get the characters to level 200 or bring out your credit card.

[@martinrubin6406]

Think the 160 wall is a bit 50/50 if ppl find it to be problematic or not, i had some luck with it, was stuck at that wall for about little less then 1 month, while i did spend on the monthly gems pass, i also did not really calculate how i should get pas that wall. but you either need to plan for the wall, something new players will find hard, or you just have to get good (Lucky with the pulls), neither is not really optimal.

[@Nekotik]

Massive skill issue tbh, for one, people are beating 21-32 without passing the wall, and two, passing the wall is mostly about resource management and not luck. If you get lucky on top of spending resources well, you can pass it instalty, otherwise, you'd get stuck for a month, two at worst.

[@SuperAlatreon-2]

This is straight up false tho; yes the 160 wall can be frustrating for players who never watch creator guides or learn how to manage resources, but it absolutely DOES NOT hard cap you at a certain point in the story. One of the main things you got wrong is you DON'T actually need to max limit break 5 SRR units to get past lvl 160, this is a common misunderstanding of the mechanic. Getting just ONE character to Limit Break 3 lets you continue level that character up until 200, which means you could have a team of 5 SSR's where 4 of them are level 200 and your fifth is level 199 and you're much stronger and gotten much farther in the story, but haven't 'technically' gotten past the wall yet. The real wall is getting 5 SSR's to level 200 at which point you unlock a new feature in the Synchro to spend red cores to lvl 201+.

[@Z-.869]

14:54 Just a note: Refraction railway content does not end with the season itself, its more its own thing rather than being tied to the season, the current railway (RR4) will only end once the new railway comes. The only that is limited to the season in railway is the special effect banner and ticket you get if you complete the railway under 100 turns, the rest of the rewards do not change.

[@terq8370]

It's still a seasonal thing: it gives 10 pull with guaranteed seasonal S-rank; it has special reward for beating before season ends. But, like mirror dungeon, it changes later during season. So returning at season start players could take a chance to beat rr (it also becomes easier because of new lvl cap).

As a longtime Project Moin fan, Limbus is... still a difficult thing. Lemme shed some light on that if someone from "outside" reads this. Basically the "old" fanbase went through two hellishly complex and hard games and it shaped it somewhat. With Project Moon not making of further games for several years, many yearn for limbus to hit this difficulty again, while newer players or people from the gacha communities are more used to the genre being casual. There is a bit of a conflict in interest, and stuff like kim comes from the "old design" being implemented into a gacha. Same goes for seeing enemy skills, passive and so on. Its the core principles of "die, learn from it, retry" that all games share. With canto 7 and a certain fight still being unnerfed... it seems like they start ramping up difficulty in a good way atleast. And nothing in gacha games felt as good as beating up Kim, Ricardo, the epic RR bosses and 6-34 (iirc) and now the new bosses in c7 But holy fuck I agree on the new player part, all of it is... so bad. I started a second account to get through the older cantos again and see how they keep up.

[@qaztim11]

On the new player thing I wish they re-introduced early walpurgis story,Event or RR story into the game, it's weird when characters suddenly start talking about mirror dimensions in the main plot,Dante talking about the IDs, or rooms opening inside the bus, without that actually happening in the story before. I imagine most of these gaps in the narrative are because those events are not in the game.

[@panzerldr5724]

Seeing some other comments about it and yeah, there’s a bit of conflict of interests with 2 different types of players/fans. Even before Limbus, PM’s games were regarded as kind of the Dark Souls of their respective genres. That carries exactly the kind of expectations you’d expect. In the same way you might laugh at someone new to video games playing a FromSoft game, and wondering why it’s so hard, we laugh a little bit at “normal” or “casual” gacha gamers coming into Limbus and wondering why it’s so hard. If anything it’s mostly too easy for us. That’s the dynamic at play here. I can’t speak for PM obviously, but I don’t THINK they’re too interested in hooking the average casual gamer, the same way FromSoft isn’t. Their target audience is the people that only get more determined the harder the challenge gets. Obviously they do want new players, but they don’t want to compromise their identity, and betray the expectations of their existing fans by making things too easy or even accessible. One might think that there’s nothing at all wrong with being accessible, but again, look to Dark Souls. It’d be absurd to expect a button for “this boss is too hard, let me skip it so I can move on.” Edit: I applaud you. Claim his balls.

[@ggpoh4925]

Half of this video means nothing if you can stop equating "gacha game" with casual game. The only reason Limbus is a gacha is to fund other PM projects instead of crowdfunding them as usual. You can literally just buy the limbus pass and farm for every identity in the game besides the Walpurgisnacht ones, which you can get by just saving the lunacy you get weekly. You can get everything for 10€ and some play time every 5 months or so.

As someone who doesn't play gacha games I actually really love limbus's difficulty and how it forces you to pay attention to mechanics and try new strategies. Though I may be biased because I already loved roguelikes and team building games like monster train or darkest dungeon but Iove how it forces you to use your resources intelligently and how it makes everyone struggle at different points. I personally had no problem with Kim using a burn team but there were other places I needed to switch out ids to win

[@funninoriginal6054]

As someone who's a day 1 player and started with Ruina, but got my own friends into Limbus eventually, i kinda get where you're coming from with the critique about Limbus's difficulty. That being said, i feel like enemies and mechanics themselves shoudn't be nerfed, since a huge appeal of the game is its really crunchy combat system that rewards smart team building and strategy. Instead, i think farming options and side content should be expanded so that newer players can have an easier time catching up to the current content. PM is doing great work so far with the EXP Luxcavation buff, so i don't doubt it'll happen eventually. I do like the idea of a team revival mechanic at the cost of the EX reward, though. Seems like a good way to still keep players engaged with the story.

[@YouCanCallMeIz]

I hate the idea of Team Revival because it takes literally all of the weight out of fights. I really don't need 40 lunacy that much. I WANT to be stuck.

To be fair most of project moon games aren't that much cassual focused, these games use challenging mecanics for narrative reasons, the end of part 2 of canto 7 has the most difficult boss in limbus to date, and even though it feels a bit unfair, it also is really rewarding to get to know the truth behind the story after such battle. As someone who started just when the last walpurgis natch started, I can comfortably say that limbus difficulty spikes aren't based on archetypes / team comps, but rather on enemy mechanics, Even right now I don't play a specific team, I just go with generalistic good units thatI have, instead of going for a build. That way you can focus on dealing with the battle gimmicks. Plus, having only sinking units to defeat kim is just plain bad luck.

It is also important to mention the link between gameplay and story: if the story actively mentions that the fight was really hard and you won by the smallest margin, it would be strange for the actual level to be easy, and vice versa.

Just a general piece of advice for players struggling with content. Adding friends and borrowing a support ID is very powerful and can give you access to units you don't have leveled. Additionally, there are several IDs that are powerful enough to just beat enemies solo or with just one or 2 other allies letting you invest more into fewer units. Also, if you only have one strong ID, you can give it more skill slots by selecting fewer than the maximum selected sinners (in focused encounters) which makes several fights much easier (ex - canto 7 final boss is really easy if you borrow cinq don and only send her in).

Gacha games require too much commitment for their feedback to the player most of the time. Most people can't really evaluate their main games normally(because critical analysis is a skill), and the guy who quite literally speedruns gacha will obviously make mistakes. Also, it boosts comments.

[@bencegergohocz5988]

To be fair, even his genshin takes are nonsense sometimes. Like, he just complained about genshin never being dark and i'm like: "my guy... i just did a quest when a woman kidnapped a kid and tried to rewrite her memories to recreat her dead daughter yesterday."

[@JKTonshi]

@@bencegergohocz5988 I think it's more so his interpretation of how the story's supposed to be presented; if it's made up to be a complete non-issue in its conclusion, as in something they want you to think about but then brush off completely as if it didn't matter much in the end, then the weight of the "dark story" just isn't there (anymore, at least, because of the existence of gameplay and story segregation). It's the demand for consistency within the situation that's being depicted. Limbus tried to experiment with gameplay and story integration instead, and the result is what we have now. It's not quite as robust as the laymen would expect in current times but it conveys what it aims to convey over time with increasing consistency in the story they want to pull off. Real, tangible character development that Limbus could pull off precisely because of its limited playable character count. In the end, that kind of permanence in gacha games is very much a rarity, either way. For that kind of experience, I prefer to consume media that focuses on that very specific thing I'm looking for instead of having a complete melting pot of every conceivable idea you can put in a game. Much more focused and respectful to the topics the creator wants to handle in return.

@@bencegergohocz5988 genshin is dark-lite. it can delve into dark topics briefly but not really in ways that matter or have long-term effects on the characters. characters like furina and scaramouche are loved because they start the arc acting one way and end it entirely different, and that is very much a rarity in genshin! most compelling character arcs are in the unvoiced and completely optional world quests, which means by their very nature they have no tangible effect on the rest of the story. the characters from world quests very rarely (or more often, never) come up outside of their questline. jeht is one of the best written characters, who has a story you can experience and contribute to in *real time*, and even gender specific interactions that may or may not imply things about her, depending on how you look at it! the best chance theyd have to show character growth over a long period of time is the traveler and paimon, and they basically refuse to do it every single time (bedtime story was the real kicker for me.)

[@earthsartu3423]

Welcome back to the bus!! hope you have fun with the stories. this game may have a lot of down time after you clear the stories but the thing is you really only need to do weekly and craft module often, the daily quest is kinda optional after the main team is maxxed out. I generally refill by lunacy two time evey day and just logout. Now I'm sitting at 960 module waiting to be use

[@mauzilus]

Limbus makes me goon, by making me actually feel something with it's heartbreaking moments. A game hasn't done that in a long time.

it so good to have your back my guy, i hope you had fun while on break from limbus, canto 7 is peak so far, so welcome back manager esquire

[@philioso6402]

Had the same sinking squad against Kim issue here. After getting my head slashed off for 10 times or so, decided to try with a poise team which wasn't even complete yet. Filled in the blank with couple of goodstuff ids including double zeros. And believe me, it was at least 3 times easier than with the sinking team. Don't mess with Mr. Kim's mental health people.

[@mrmadman8460]

4:16 no, simply no. that is one hell of a controversial solution and it would kinda ruin the immersion for me (personally). However I see how this could be implemented into the mirror dungeon.

Wild hunt heathcliff:

[@ruebeliever8488]

technically that is how fights are fought in lore lmfao

[@HandleDeeezNutz]

Bro, Dante has more business with revivals than FGO does. Dante literally revives the sinners multiple times in a fight, and he canonically gets so fed up with it, he actually gives up reviving them, this has happened with Sinclair's canto and Heathcliff's canto. Both those cantos are where we were saved by an outside force (Demian and Cathy). Revivals as part of the thingy majig on the side that reduces speed once per day is fine.

[@KDude107]

I really don’t understand people who argue for stuff like this. Why even play the game at that point? Just watch the story on youtube

[@MrZalgo-ml2iw]

Not to mention PM technically already resolved this issue with Chain Battles to begin with. They can continue making content be as difficult as they want and still give the player enough agency to handle fights how they want it to. 7-34 being a good example of that.

[@Kofhiliphus]

With how much money project moon is making, I wouldn't be surprised if they announced a new project (after all the "hell" cantos are done) that delves into a souls-like type genre and I wouldn't even complain, in fact I'll even surrender my f2p status on the next walpurgisnacht.

[@kelvin7549]

Note: Do not build status teams before you have a team of "unga bungas" (high rollers with good damage output) The reason is that ungas work on any form of content while status teams can easily get screwed over by certain boss mechanics and are generally either unusable in story, or struggle a lot unless you can focus on one target specifically. So yeah, building Sinking before having a proper team was huge mistake on your end - but also a common one.

[@rafaelgodoy5850]

Losing to Bamboo Hatted Kim with a sinking team in Limbus Company really highlights just how much of a skill issue this whole scenario is. I mean, seriously, it’s not like Kim is some unbeatable boss; he’s a whimsical character who thrives on unpredictability and clever strategies. But if you’re struggling against him, it really makes you wonder: what were you thinking? A bamboo hat may look silly, but his mechanics are anything but! If you went into that fight without a plan, relying on a mismatched team that barely synergizes, then it’s time to face the music-this is on you, noob! The game is designed to encourage players to adapt and strategize, yet here you are, unable to even figure out how to counter his moves. Did you even check his patterns? There are countless resources and community discussions about how to tackle Kim, yet somehow you still managed to fumble the execution. It’s honestly a little embarrassing. Every character in Limbus Company has unique abilities that can be leveraged against him, but if you didn’t bother.... Oh nvm

[@flipflops1665]

we are so back

[@Feross_9710]

That Kim beating with a sinking team and your strategy absolutely got my approvals. Here, take my like, subscribe, and also welcome to the family. Sinking is my first and my favorite team, It's always amazing seeing a sinking fellow beating what is basically the worst match up we can encounter. Btw, slapping random ID together is also my specialty, since I find current content easy. A tips I can give you for this to work is to have each ID fullfill a specific role on the team composition. This also work if you go with the base ID only someday.

[@Flygoniaks]

[2:38] Small thing to note here: During Season 3, Project Moon made the decision to NOT include voice acting for new event/interlude story chapters, since after developing two of them, they realized that getting the main cast (comprised of 14 different voice actors) as well as VAs for any side characters together _every single time_ was a lot more of a hassle than they initially expected. So, they scrapped voiced event chapters so that they could _make these events more frequent,_ effectively doubling the number of interlude chapters we get each Season. Also, you're the first person to call Miracle in District 20 bad, but you're not necessarily wrong. Looking back, it feels like they weren't exactly sure what to do for the Christmas event... Also, many players will agree with you that Bamboo-Hatted Kim is flawed boss design considering that teams built around Sinking exist. In the past, there was actually another boss like this - "So That No One Will Cry," which punished players who brought a Burn team SUPER hard. To fix this, Project Moon removed those anti-Burn Passives from the version of STNOWC that appears in the Mirror Dungeon (where Burn stacks can get ridiculously high). They kept the passive in the main story and Thread Luxcavation though, where it isn't as punishing. In my opinion, I like it when bosses make it more difficult if you bring specific team comps, as long as it isn't _unfair_ difficulty. Kind of like what Chapter 7 is doing for Bleed teams.

[@impoverlord3049]

Wow I really liked this video for a funny reason. Listening to the author struggle with the Limbus Company content was so unusual. I felt like I was in a power fantasy. I haven't spent more than 1 attempt on a level since the first week of the game's release. I'm sure the author is a real gamer, so it's not that he's bad at the game, it's that I'm really good. I hope there won't be too much backseat gaming and bullying in the comments, the author is a funny guy
