Incoming Rara ramble, beware of angel ❤️‍🩹🪽

Raphael & Art

Okay so, obviously Raphael is very much depicted as a ferocious beast/monster by the game — he's violent, rough, animalistic — but re-reading specifically his Attacker card there's underlying themes of art (also somewhat beauty) mixed in there.

The reason this stands out to me is specifically because of how Raphael is laid out as a character by the game itself. The character labelled with a simpler intellect, only basic emotion and a violent temper is also the one with the art motive. Art, out of all things, a medium used for self-expression and conveying feelings that aren't or not easily able to be expressed in words.

Not to mention that in his Attacker card's last likeability chat he doesn't boast to us about his relationship with God or Lucifer, no, he actually wants to impress the MC by showing them his artistic abilities.

(What I really like about this interaction, albeit short, is that we actually get options for MCs to show interest in Raphael and his art.)

I hope that, one day, he will find a reason to paint again 🥺🙏 (Even if it's just to impress MC)

Ignoring the whole threat of yet another war (and that, out of all people, it's Lucifer & Beel. Like, what the actual fuck?) I do appreciate Levi bringing some femme energy into this game 🙏🏻Of course, it's not the same as an actual female devil but I still consider it a small win 👉👈

Gaap has also been revealed as a darkness-attribute A+ unit. (His signature artifact will be released at a later date.)

↓ different topic but still pb related

On another note... some of pb's newest posts have been flagged as "Made with AI" on Twitter. I don't know how reliable that information/system is though considering it's not all of them.

(Whether it's gotten tagged seems to vary between contents in different languages from what I'm seeing.)

Example (JP / CN announcement of Ppyong April Fools):

I've also seen people get more comfortable with calling them out for it (use of AI, reusing/tracing parts of old sprites), which is a good thing to be honest. (Or maybe that's just me.) Critique gets harder to ignore once it's public, right?

He's here!

And so is Jophiel! (Event)

Ramblings below cut:

But January 8th, huh...? That's still January 7th in my time zone (aka my birthday, oof). PB can we talk about this and move it back by a day? /hj

I like the Petit El holding his mike btw, it's a cute detail. It looks so angry and they even gave it a black ribbon to match Gabriel.

Also, "If you obtain Gabriel (Attacker), you will receive an exclusive H-scene illustration for that character". So are we leaving Michael out because we got to see him dancing around in the event around his card orrr? 😭 Michael fans I feel sorry for you 😔

(On another note, they didn't point out an illustration for Raphael in their marketing from what I can see yet we got one. Would be interesting to see if they'll continue announcing such things beforehand from now on.)

Anyway, we'll also get a Jophiel event! Please give me some Heaven lore or sum, please PB. I shall beg like the beggiest beggar there is 🙏

What a day it's been already (It's 11AM and I woke up an hour ago lol)

Side note: I'm lowkey scared of what we might see in regards to Gabriel's childhood.

Like what did God do to make him the way he is? How was he created (as in which way, which attributes)? How did God handle this one during his childhood?

I need answers and I don't want to wait yet I'm afraid of what said answers might be (my brain already went through any doomsday scenario imaginable)
