I can't believe this video's length!

Well it's been quite the last few weeks for the game, with the 1.6 update being a rather huge one with the first ever Limited character being Jiu Niangzi, who I wanted! This banner also features Yenisei who is great, both as a 5 Star character and in terms of her personality too, and her voice actor is also really good too, which makes the character even more endearing! As for Jiu Niangzi, she is very good as a Dushuo Festival Limited character (although I keep hearing about powercreep on the CN version), but as for her character, she is a tavern owner who is a little tipsy and struggles to count at times. I do find her to be very likeable though, as she always seems to mean well with wanting to help out. Some more thoughts were shared in the Notes on Shuori playthrough in the description there, but yeah, I like them both, although if I had to choose who I liked more based on pure character/personality, I would probably say Yenisei!

Also, there is more where that came from, because this isn't just me rolling for Jiu, but also kind of taking in the new 1.6 update stuff when it all went live on May 30th, seeing the new garments for An-an Lee, A Knight, Druvis III, Balloon Party and Зима, with the An-an Lee one being free, which is huge for a 6 Star Character...if only I actually had her in the first place! We do also go on to get the Зима costume in the UTTU event and the Balloon Party one is available in the Roar Jukebox (sadly not free, rip).

Also, the day after this update went life, I sadly did not record when we got the Gifts from Shuori from Madam Z, Sotheby, Druvis III, Lilya and An-an Lee. I did still have a little look at them, and it was a very wholesome little touch to the half-anniversary season. Speaking of which, the Wilderness had a little fireworks ceremony which usually doesn't happen, taking me a little aback, but in a good way! Before getting into the meat and potatoes though, we did also have a special banner (Revelation of the Water) where we could pick two 6 Star characters to roll for, in my case, I chose Kaalaa Baunaa and Pickles who I unfortunately wasn't lucky enough to get in the past, but in the end, it's not a big deal for me because my focus is Jiu's banner.

Now for the summoning! Yenisei wasn't too big of a concern for me, since I may have let slip previously that I did get her, and now you know why, with her coming multiple times as well as being rather strong for a 5 Star Healer/Defender! It was interesting to have a limited shop with items that cost the Cassette of the Lost, which are acquired from rolling on the Jiu Niangzi banner. I'm a little unsure of how to go about spending these right now, because I probably won't be able to reach 200 for another Jiu dupe, but I'll figure it out.

Druvis III surprises me here too! She not only has a new Garment, but made it out of the woods to appear for me finally! I don't know how much I will use her, but I was still happy to unlock her Insight II, which is very different to her standard look, and it's a very elegant one here! Also, what a calming voice by her VA.

And finally, Jiu Niangzi! Firstly, this is how you do a new rarity, LostWord! Honestly, to see this banner last longer than usual, have its own Cassettes of the Lost, have the Decatone and still be fairly F2P is very nice to see, and we even see Jiu's little portrait have its own animation on various character screens (it should be noticeable)! So yeah, what a time during these past few weeks!

Also, given the availability of this character, let's just say if missing out on Ezra means being successful here, so be it! I don't plan on going for Getian, since my Beast coverage seems fairly solid and I'll probably randomly get him in the future, but now I'm wondering if I should risk getting more Jiu Niangzi dupes for Portrays. Probably not worth it, but ehhhhh.
