SPOILER WARNING!
So the new event landed yesterday afternoon and from what we were initially teased with, it would be the 4th story that integrates into Stan’s and Aliza’s storyline but to my surprise, while they did play an important part, most of the event were focused on new characters named Attiyah and Tabina.
At start, it looked like your typical casual event but when the event finally got to the part where the two are reunited, IT WAS CLEAR, IT WAS BOLLYWOOD (but seriously, my normie first impressions was that of a Disney movie), the couple sing and dance and mind you, THE SING AND DANCE SCENES ARE ABSOLUTELY UNSKIPPABLE unless you completely skip the entire chapter; the singing and dancing are not just in 1 chapter either, it had scenes in other chapters too and in order for the crew to actually beat the primal beast, Stan and Aliza had to join in the couple in the singing and dancing as, apparently, “Love” can quell the uncontrolled hatred that has affected the event’s featured beast.
Anyway, enough of the summary and let’s get down to my thoughts in the event. Generally, it’s a pretty fun event albeit a bit too cliche IMO, one of the strong points of the event for me was the fact that Tabina was voiced by Kaede Hondo, who also voiced Sakura Minamoto who is the main protagonist in another cygames property, the zombie idol anime “Zombieland Saga”, during the first bits of the event, she was absolutely killing with over the top hilarious and unconventional dialogue but when the event finally came to the singing and dancing, BOI, YOU ALREADY KNOW YOU’RE IN FOR A TREAT!
Another strong point of the event is actually branching out to another possible entire series of events which will now focus on Attiya and Tabina as things definitely have not settled down with the family grudge as seen in the ending; Tabina is also teased to be one of the new playable characters based from the ending (AND SHE’S A BOW PROF! THIS GAME NEEDS MORE BOW PROF!), it’s definitely a plus for me whenever GBF introduces new characters that have the potential to become your crewmates mainly because this allows them to expand the roster further and lessen the release of character variants especially for characters who already has a ton of variants already.
Now, as for Stan and Aliza, this event finally allows Stan to go back to your crew so we can definitely expect a new Stan unit in the upcoming part 2 of legfes; I like the Stan we see in this event as he seems to be a mix of how he was during Boots & Blades and the Hero & Princess event, a bit matured but still having some of the traits of the old Stan but he really needs to get a haircut though. Aliza, on the other hand, now has developed her martial arts as well as it was something she was struggling from during “A Thousand Reasons” so, in a sense, she has grown as a character thanks to this event. Hopefully, this also means that Aliza will be getting an FLB soon now that she has reached new heights. (But please give us Zeta FLB first)
I guess the disappointing part is that we never really see if they’re finally going to fight now that Stan is back in the crew and that both of them have grown as characters; not to mention, Stan chickens out on handing the flower from Boots & Blades at the very last minute but who knows, maybe more will be supplemented on their gacha units? But yeah, as an event that initially teased that it was bound to be a StanLiza event, I definitely had more expectations on how they will be developed but, in the end, nothing much has changed between the two and the event was mainly focused on molding Aliza than their actual relationship more than anything.
