NEW DEPRESSION! New Year New Sword - Goddess Of Victory Nikke | VOD

[@GarnetPawn]

This event, among other things, shows difference between Scarlet and Dorothy (who always clashed b ecause of their differences). Doro is stuck in a past, her inability to move forward and let go is what ruins her. Scarlet, on the other hand, uses past events as experience to face the future. She might want to have thing the way they were back then, but accepted that it’s impossible.

[@HarderThanHardDifficulty]

You thought this would be some silly harem shenanigans, But it was the melancholy of an ancient warrior who slowly lost everything she held dear as her own memories wilted with the passage of time 🥀

[@lunamayjen]

@@HarderThanHardDifficulty goooossshh this hurts to read and yet it's beautiful. Omg. Shift up did an amazing job with the event

[@thomasthetanderloin]

Noise and the rest of Prima Donna don't participate in any of the other events. But their bond stories pretty much explain everything.

[@lunamayjen]

Ohhh! Okay thats interesting to know. I don't think I have the rest of the squad so it'll be a while for me to be able to tackle their bond stories. 🤔

[@Meta_Mage]

Wrong, they were in the casino event with Soda and Alice this year!

[@akritos546]

Roller coaster of emotions here. From luna blue screening at noise being assertive to bawling her eyes out. Surprise yess appearance at the end to cap it all off, lol

[@Kaijudomage]

oh right, EN dub stuck with temp VO thanks to that strike, they're not bad, certainly a bit mixed, not to mention I'm to used to Ratana's Scarlet, I'll be eager to relisten when it's back.

[@XANDERcanDRAW]

So if you played Red Ash, the recruitment scene for Scarlet makes more sense and to answer who's the Blacksmith who repaired Rose's Sword.(I guess?)

[@vogelunsterblichen1006]

Janghwa doing this to make Hongryeon Complete innocent and become she is right now. (Both are Rose and Scarlet's Korean name)

[@TakiGamesOfficial]

What a time to be a Scarlet main! We get a costume after TWO years and her event becomes fully voiced and added to the archives. I’m a slight bit bummed out we never got the instrumental version of the event theme that played during Black Shadow’s banner. Scarlet’s backup voice performance was great, really nailed the cadence and essence of Ratana! In some way has more explosive emotion as well. Though the pitch a tiny bit higher and comes off a as cuter/younger feeling. It feels like Brianna Knickerbocker who voices Naga. A bit of Exia and Mana and in there too. Of course I still prefer Ratana’s original voice as I’ve grown accustomed to it. Rose also sounds a lot like someone I can’t put my finger on it. Maybe Emma, Crow, or Maxwell? I’ve definitely heard that voice in some story in this game. One thing I found very interesting about Rose in terms of her design is that she holds her sword backwards. Katanas are supposed to curve inward towards the wielder, but her model, and in the New Year New Sword PV (which has amazing visuals of Scarlet and her sister) it curves outwards.

[@KeijiMaeda86]

The fact that the sword was restored using Rose's core opens up the possibility for scifi shenanigans to have Rose comeback in as unit in present day. IIRC the blacksmith that fixed the sword was Snow White during Red Ash 🤔

[@peternash7104]

A lot of changes occurred from release till now. You will see some gaps in conversations and unit placements. This is due to a cosplayer inspiring the design for the melee squad. Now ShiftUp did it without 'permission'. So they just outright deleted many squad members NPCs. Now I get that cosplayers need some credit. But the design is simple and done like MGS Revengance. So imo the cosplayer complaints hold no ground. It wasn't original. RinkoAoi is a channel that does entire playthroughs at launch without commissary commentary. It is a good place to look at the original even if you want to see the differences.

THE PETALS FLY AND THEN MOVE OOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNN

[@syafiqnabhan]

This event is the second time I shed a tear; the first one was Miracle Snow event.

[@DLH112]

interesting that it's the 2 that weren't voiced until they were added to the archive

[@lunamayjen]

I have yet to do Miracle Snow but my community really really want to see me experience it! Hopefully I can play it soon! But yes this event tore me apart. Gosh so beautiful but painful 😭

[@XG417]

The one that did me in was Nya Nya Paradise. I full-on bawled for a full minute straight from that Another one was one particular scene in Last Kingdom. If you know, you know.

[@chobitssofar]

Scarlet finally got her Sharper Sword but at what cost

[@lunamayjen]

She truly did but maaan. What a beautiful but also depressing story 😭

[@a.s.raiyan2003-4]

Should have called the event New Year New Depression. 3rd time I cried over this damn game. The fragile state of the sisters lives, the last moments of them together. It broke me. I'm always praying they'll somehow pull another Modernia and bring Rose back as a Heretic.

[@thenation9492]

I guess she got a sharper sword after all 😢

[@lunamayjen]

@@thenation9492 She really did 😭

[@leoniemartin3440]

Rose the one Nikke I wanted out the most but original voices are better

[@lunamayjen]

@@leoniemartin3440 Rose is such a gorgeous character. I would love for shift up to bring her back but who knows 😭

[@berzarkers8685]

Y pensar que me salté los capítulos porque no entendia nada el inglés... Pero se que fue muy sad A pesar de no haber entendido casi nada, hermosa historia. Ahora lo pude entender gracias a tu reacción y los subtítulos 20/10 🍷🗿... Saludos desde Perú

[@farefire90]

i mean this was right after Wonderland, which was a happy story, so Shift Up had to destroy us after a happy story as required it seems

[@Vashimu]

i would not call neverland a happy story...with mica and belorta background and Lumi in the minigame. well the end was kind of happy but those backgrounds are messed up....

[@XANDERcanDRAW]

I've returned here to say, ShiftUp hates New Year and always wanted us crying XD Scarlet and now Rapi.

[@EliteSCM]

Isn't Rose VA Tamara Fritz? Same as Rapunzel and Liliweiss? I search for it and didn't find her VA but she sure sounds like Lilith.

[@ionfreak83]

They had ample time to add voice acting yet they didn't have time to fix the dialogue problem on matching the squad is quite odd for me.

[@lunamayjen]

At this point it just gives it a bit of a charm lol

[@NuFeenel]

Pilgrim's story ! Always BanGer !! ^^

[@ccBAZZ]

Welcome to nikke ma'am where we goon 20% of the time and cry the other 80%

[@lunamayjen]

And I am here for it lol. I have been loving the story in this game along side with the characters. 😊

[@bubush921]

I started NIKKE when that event was released and... Oh boy... I was slapped in my face... HARD T-T

[@lunamayjen]

@@bubush921 Gosh this idea this was y'all's new year event hurts me. Its such a beautiful event but omg it hurts 😭

[@Fonz57]

I absolutely love this event, but I feel like they wanted to make it bigger, but had to scrap the idea and put out a shorter event. It’s has voice acting which only bigger events have and a pilgrimage dropped along with the event.

[@ceooflowrolls2081]

It originally did not have voice acting. That was added once it was in the archives.

[@lunamayjen]

From what I have been hearing it was originally not voiced. The community got together and essentially asked Shift Up to add voice acting to this event. And I am so glad they did! The VAs absolutely delivered! 😊😭

[@viktorsolovyov5067]

I must say that jp voiceover is great in general and Reina Ueda, VA for Scarlet is godlike

[@phantom7958]

Woah, I usually don't like Eng VA, but Dang That Scarlet VA Nailed it! I love her

[@lunamayjen]

The temporary VA for Scarlet did an amazing job! Absolutely loved their performance! 😊
