Crystalline Codex

S8 EP5: Snow White's Genesis

I seen an Instagram post about ELS which is the acronym of Elrios Livestream Service, but for me it seems to be ESL but the L is in the middle instead of the S and the S is in the right instead of the L. By the way, the GM livestream will start on Friday at 5PM PDT, which would be 3AM EAT and I will be sleeping at that time.

Here's a video the NA channel uploaded and it has been embedded on their microsite.

I preregistered for the 4th path update and I'm waiting to see the gifts they promised to give for 2 weeks. This video seems to be an English version of the original video we have already watched in June. However, they unlisted it yesterday and now they made it public.

Anyways, here's a video uploaded by the Korean channel, showcasing a new update that added a new region continuing the Pruinaum adventure and two new dungeons. 

Instead of revealing the designs for Aisha and the others' 4th path, they have instead added a new region and two new dungeons. The name of the new region is Suburbs of Pruinaum, or Pruinaum Outskirts as the ElWiki calls it, and the name of the two new dungeons are Plegas' Gaze and Plegas' Portrait or Plegas' Likeness as the ElWiki calls it.

Wow, what the hell are these dungeons... These sceneries look nice, but this is not okay. This is just an act of stupidity, and they were supposed to reveal Aisha and the others' 4th path but NO. They just added a new region with the dungeons' battle rating being OP and they need to reduce it immediately.

Anyways, here's an another video the channel uploaded.

This video is an anime which seems to be perfect for an game drawn in an anime artstyle, but the art in the flashback looks similar to Sword Art Online's artstyle, so there's a possibility the artist in the flashback scene also worked in the anime adaptation of it. 

By the way, the original character designer RESS still makes decent artworks by using both Paint Tool SAI and Photoshop, and they even started an online art class on a Korean website and even promoted it on their Twitter bio and tweets. Their character designs are quite stunning and great, as with other decent artists.

Anyways, Grand Chase's concept artworks, especially Arme's concept art, if used in the game, it would have made it looked better, but since they turned it to an simplistic animesque look, in which it currently has as of today.

This is the end of the episode for now, so stay tuned for the next episode!
