is stuck in my head for days now...

Brain: Could be worse. Least it's not "Run Boy Ru-"

Me: You finish that damn sentence and I swear I will end you.

Honestly, same. It immediately got added to my Eternum youtube playlist that I've been listening to on repeat for what feels like a month now >.>

He is going to bleed into the Isle of Lost Souls and get the treasure of the abyss by himself, while his real body is sedated at the hospital. We now know that some humans went into Eternum by astral projection. And he is clearly one of the people that can do it.

A ski trip has been potentially teased for 0.8 since Christmas is just around the corner, so a timeskip could be implemented after the Pirate event and we can use the event for a potential Annie, Nancy, and/or Dalia scene. Alex too if she happens to be dragged into the trip. With Dalia though there's her upcoming birthday on New Year's Eve, so that could be covered after the ski trip instead.

Curious, where's this been teased?

The general outline of the entire story is pretty much done from beginning to end and Cari has said on Discord that the only thing that's unwritten are the LI events (which he usually just tries to wing depending on the mood he's in, if he has heard a soundtrack that he wants to base an entire scene to (i.e. the bazooka scene in 0.5 which he built after he heard the music for it and not the other way around), or when he thinks of a random idea for it). So Orion's "death" is pretty much planned right from the start.

It reminds me of the opening of Mass Effect 2 where Shepard was killed off... only to come back alive after 2 years. Death scenes like this introduce contrivances to the plot, and the progression brought forth by them can be easily accomplished by a near-death experience rather than outright dying.

We all know Orion isn't truly dead since the story still has another 3 updates, so the shock value of "oh shit, did he really die?" just doesn't hit as hard. Funnily enough, BioWare learned this as well by killing off Shepard a second time at the end of ME3, but one of the end scenes left it ambiguous as to if he really was dead or not.

Unless Cari throws another curveball for 0.8 (like he did in this update by having us go to Ekabar), there really isn't anything that's teased to happen in the near future other than the Meiyo trip (which could happen anytime) or the Big Hunt (which was supposed to be the big Ekabar event but it's slated for January according to the story). So that gives us a clear path for the Ski Trip this 0.8.

About 5-7 more based on Cari's latest estimate, not 3.

Haha yeah.

Although a minor correction; there's still at least 5 updates coming (story won't end at 1.0)

What's the point of having an ending like that? Like any of the players would believe this.
I really like this game, but the plot twists here can be read from the previous chapter.

4) MC is in a coma.
His soul can be transported to Limbo with Idriel where he can train his skills, powers to come back stronger while his body is taken care of in a hospital. When he wakes up he mastered a lot more his powers and can come back stronger.
I am not sure of this one since Idriel says that it is most likely his end, meaning she doesn't believe in his survival.
5% probability

Reminder that Idriel said that time does not exist in Limbo. If Cari uses that thread and Orion is transported there, it could be possible for him to stay there indefinitely until he is able to come back into the real world without losing time. Mayhaps by returning he would also be healed, albeit with the potential caveat that there is no do-over if he screws up again.

This event will also help him grow as a better future king.

I'm of the opinion that he won't be ruling anything when all is said and done. If Orion's character development is supposed to go from him being this horndog who is so sure of himself into someone who understands the weight of the responsibility thrust upon him and the plight of the dead, it's more fitting that he ultimately rejects any seat of power and simply sets the dead free, choosing instead to live a content life with his harem in the real world (as it is also likely that Ulysses Corp will not survive by the end of the game as access to Eternum will likely be closed (either by Orion using the Gems' power or by Idriel once she is freed) to prevent players from tampering upon it further, so the CEO route is also out).

ok after having enough time for emotions to calm down and look at it more objectively i like 0.7 more than i initially did because i was focusing mostly on negatives and failing to see the bigger picture. ofc. i could still be entirely wrong with the way i feel now but at least its not as bad as i thought

We still have 5-7 updates left so hardly close to endgame just yet.

Also it'll be difficult to have "other" scenes at this point other than Calypso scenes given that we've already gotten the ball rolling on the LI penetration scenes and there are 2 major LIs that are primed for it next update (Annie because she's due a scene and she promised that she'll be ready for Orion in their next intimate encounter, Dalia because her birthday is coming up and Orion wants to celebrate it with her a week or a few weeks earlier). Not to mention a lot of patrons are probably gonna go ballistic if they delay any of the remaining LI penetration scenes for any sidegirl that's not named Calypso (though I suppose a few won't say no to another Eva romp...maybe).

And I just mentioned a few posts earlier that there's an impending ski trip for 0.8, so it's not just the continuation of the Pirate Trip for next update that people are looking forward to.
