Oh yeah, Arc World Tour announcement thoughts:

I did not recognize the Under Night character.

To me Peni is a very unsurprising character to be in Tokon, but she looks fun and that's what really matters.

I'm surprised to see Wild Assault genuinely get replaced, funny to hear the crowd pop-off over that. The addition of battle passes seems strange to me, I was kinda thinking 2.0 would be a sort of final hoorah for Strive, but I guess it makes sense to extend the game's lifespan considering how continually successful Strive's been. Granted, I don't think battlepasses necessarily mean that ArcSys plans to extend the game as long as possible, it just makes me think that because of how battlepasses tend to intertwine with live service business models. The Happy Chaos changes make me very curious, it kinda looks like some of his core mechanics got uprooted.
