So much to look forward to in this update:One day to go, it's time for the traditional "what do you want to happen in this update?"
I am really looking forward to the Himawari stuff to be explained, and if it isn't I'm going to be very disappointed.
Like, it's understandable that some of it remains a mystery, but for the amount of Himawari in chapter 3, and how much she's been active and hinting at it all coming down this halloween - including the time travel which mirrors her own presumed time travel origin (and Pareidolia's sacrifice, which for all we know has been her off-partner/boss for the longest time), it just doesn't make sense for it not to be revealed now.
Edit: If Selebus reveals that her name is Ami/Amy in this update, you guys will never hear the end of it from me
Edit2: We also managed to go 500 messages over our normal amount this month, we're at 45.525 for update 0.45 (versus 44k for 0.44) \o/
- A heavy focus on Maya/Ami/Ayane, who in my opinion really are the game's best characters. I especially like that we'll get some events with them and no Sensei, to further explore their relationships with each other.
- Clues about how much Ami and Maya know about the world and maybe even why they know it. I can't wait to see what's happening in the scene with the winking Ami and the one where she's with the distressed Maya.
- Clues about Maya's past. Will there be evidence for or against my Sekai theory?
- Boxes! I know I mention them every time I make one of these posts, but I think this is the update where they're finally opened.
- More speculatively, I have a feeling we're going to learn something big about the primary narrator, and hopefully by extension USER4.
To offset my Himawari negativity, here's a no context tinfoil theory that I think you might like: Ami had the same role in Terminal 22 that Himawari does in Terminal 23.
I would probably avoid the previews if I was choosing in a vacuum, but looking at them makes it a lot easier to read and participate in the discussion here. So far I haven't regretted it, I think Selebus does a good job of throwing in red herrings and hiding any real twists so that the big moments are still impactful.Btw, just curious, am I the only one who generally tries to avoid getting spoiled in this thread most of the time?
Don't get me wrong, I appreciate the previews and the discussions are always fun. But I feel like I want to approach each new update with a "clean slate" as it were, without any prior knowledge or expectations of what's to come.
Not that the spoilers are really that big in the first place, I just don't like to speculate about something that I haven't seen first hand yet, I guess?
This is not limited to LiL of course, I also never watch movie trailers, and I also hate it when TV shows have previews of the next episode.
Oh well, I guess people that don't want get spoiled for the update are probably not watching the thread right now anyway
PS: Also I seem to be unable to upload any pictures on here. If that is F95's idea of spooking the users then it's certainly working.
