[Zenless Zone Zero] Trigger's Agent Story: Out of Sight
0► Playlist: • Zenless Zone Zero (PC)
"Whispers from beyond the river dwell in her eyes".
Man, this was simply fantastic. Easily one of the top 3 Agent Stories so far, alongside Harumasa's and Qingyi's in my opinion. It even made me tear up twice! The scenes during Remembrance Day and the ending sequence in Port Elpis with that melancholic guitar track playing just got me...
The main theme of this Story is survivor's guilt, which isn't the easiest topic to handle but I think it was addressed really well, even showing darker matters without being afraid. Its severity is acknowledged and so is how differently it can affect each person and how one deals with their own tragic losses.
Unrelated to survivor's guilt, it was also interesting to see how the Phaethon siblings started as Proxies, since this is one the first big jobs they worked on at the beginning of their career.
Grim Vulture is an excellent antagonist and serves as a foil to Trigger. They had the exact same circumstances and a very similar background, both are the two sides of the same coin and yet they choose completely different paths to reach the same destination: get answers, and revenge, for what happened when the old capital fell. It shows what might have happened to Trigger had she followed a different, darker road by discarding her kindness and empathy.
After their clash, Trigger can finally find closure and move forward, using these new feelings and resolve to do good. And she doesn't have to do it alone anymore. There are new companions that have her back now. Moreover, those who have left us are never truly gone, as long as we can carry on for them. Their legacy can live on.
While I really really liked it, I do have two complains:
The in-battle dialogue still takes forever to advance. I tried to slow down to record as much as possible but I've definitely missed some since the pauses are so long.
Since this is a flashback set before Trigger joined the Obol Squad, she should have had a different uniform for consistency's sake! This alternative outfit could have been reused as a paid skin, like Ellen's or Astra's, for those that want to buy it if the devs felt like it was a waste to modify an existing model just for this.
Timestamps:
🔫 Episode 1 - Out of Sight: 0:00
The story progresses once you investigate 3 spots in Port Elpis and I missed an important one because I wasn't expecting that. Go check the docks and look for a "stern woman"! The game assumes you've talked to her later on.
🔫 Episode 2 - Blind Pursuit: 20:50
🔫 Episode 3 - Invitation to Kill: 52:45
🔫 Episode 4 - Remembrance Day: 1:24:48
🔫 Episode 5 - Piercing Rain: 1:55:31
🔫 Ending: 2:23:28
This Agent Story is composed of a single "episode" unlike the rest of Stories so far, which are divided in 3 parts, so I've used the Combat Commissions and other important events to create the video chapters.
