Hey y’all, today I bring you some predictions on what I think is likely, or not, to come to Limbus in the upcoming months/years, for both Gameplay and Story.

Ryoshu milf disbelivers once again in denial about her being a mother despite it being one of the few identifable traits from Hell Screen.
With the 4 Star IDs case, they could make it so as they are being uptied the identity is moving up higher through the association or respective faction. So these 3 star identities aren't falling off rather then making a whole new tier of identities to keep up with the power scaling. Also, to keep from getting an absurd number of upties for these identities they can make so you can directly enhance one of their skills minorly, while leaving upties to be the major upgrades. Obviously these enhances can be unlocked as we progress through the cantos.
Btw smth you missed, in the tgs trailer for 2022 we got REAL good hints for all the sinners stories, we got all the key artworks for all of them, Yi sang getting his wings, rodion slaying the tax collector, sinclair looking at damien, etc. so there may also be previews for future cantos, some key ones to note are ryoshu falling with some red strings around her, heathcliff walking to a grave with a notable red head woman (possibly Catherine), don supposedly waving to charge into battle or something. Stuff like that you could really analyze
w corp mersaunt is actually three star
Just a brainfart but what if the potentially 4 star ids worked like the transformation ego pages? There is already a aleph level which red mist or colours could go in, just a neat idea I had.
Mirrorclock orangeroad could be a clockwork orange reference.
A few things,
1. Project Moon said in the Q+A after the Limbus reveal trailer that the ending of Limbus will be one of the last things to happen before the release of the final game in the story of The City, so Limbus is planned to go on a while considering they so far have released 1 game every 2-3 years.
2. Another way to do 4 star IDs while keeping the Kabbalah theme is to change the color of the rarity to the white color of the seeds of light as opposed to the current golden color. Then it would represent a more pure version of the Ayin Al Soph.
3. There is already code present for adding more main chapters other than Inferno in the game, so Paradisio and Purgatorio are very likely (especially since the book Dante’s Paradisio has Dante meet a character named Roland).
4. There is also reference to a third type of coin called the multiplier coin in the game’s files with multiplication coin boost and coin drop having icons present in the files, so we could see this on future IDs eventually.
5. There is a possibility that some abnos we meet in the mirror dungeons might not get fights in Limbus, but instead other games in the series similar to how The Jester of Nihil and The Servant of Wrath were teased in Lobotomy Corp but never appeared until Ruina.
Heathcliff has the working of a typical type moon protagonist and his chapter will be giga kino
additionally with manager once being a big shot is bound to have a lot of skeletons in the closet
There is no way we can go through purgatorio and paradiso. Limbus just cant survive that long and it will be longer then both l corp and library combined and City power structure just doesnt have that many tiers like we are already at waw tier abnos
Hello, I cant remember where, but I recall there was a mention(prob reddit) that the rarity (2-3 stars) ties to the likelihood that the current sinners match with their alternate self.
E.g. 3 star n sinclair is super unlikely, cause it needs 3 star n faust to manipulate him.
Whereas 2 star mariachi Sinclair is possible as in canto 2, sinclair already had a knack at mariachi dancing, impressing and maybe gaining respect from the mexican guys
Else, if we assume 3 stars are stronger than 2 stars. That would mean a 3 star tingtang boss from the j corp backstreets is "canonically" stronger than Liu association members
Furthermore, Rarity ties with likeihood is more likely as it ties with gameplay: e.g. higher rarity = low likelihood to get = low likelihood the sinners are like their alternate self
What if during the Outis Chapter we End up fighting Vergil with Faust marking the end of Purgotorio?
I dont see why there would be higher rarity for special characters. Like L corp didnt have another danger level for white night and apoc bird or red mist/garion battles same with library having Olga and Red Mist in the same Objet d'art tier
Fun fact: there is an Uptie 5 sprite in the game files, not sure when they will add it though
It's worth noting that each sinner has at least one related character in either Demian or Hermann's group (or in Yi Sang's case both) with Gregor having Hermann, Rodion having Sonia (who may be connected to Demian as he might have the Mark of Cain and knew Sinclair would meet Demian again soon), Sinclair having Demian, Yi Sang having Gubo and Rim and Ishmael having Ahab (who we see getting requited by Hermann at the end of Canto 5) so it seems like each sinner will have at least 1-2 corresponding figure(s) that either work with Demian or Hermann
I want to say 000 is the last gacha rank
Because it is in Kabbalah
Suddenly adding 0000 make no sense
Because 0 mean ain which is reality
00 mean ain sof which is possible reality
000 mean ain sof or which is impossible reality
There isn’t 0000 in Kabbalah
for ryoshu’s story, if we presume she has a daughter, it would be a little odd for her to go around carefree doing jobs to satiate her desire for art instead of caring for her daughter. so either,
A: she is the daughter, taking after her parent’s artistic nature and is being hunted down by the fingers for the sake of making the ultimate art piece (likely the depiction of her being burned alive)
or B: ryoshu had a daughter who ended up being burned alive to make the ultimate art piece. ryoshu never unsheathes her blade ever, even when using ego. she also is never seen without it for all her identities. so what if (this probably sounds crazy) ryoshu’s sheathe acts like a cremation ash container for carrying her dead daughter’s ashes? it would make sense for something so important to her be with her for every single mirror world. she even embraces it like one would embrace a child in forest for the flames.
or C: something completely different idk
I still wish Dante becomes a combatable and playable sinner.
This will be peak when we get QOH back
Why not make 4* Identities be acquired for free at the end of each sinner's canto in Paradiso? So it doesn't mess with the gacha?
HI I WATCHED THE DON QUIXOTE SECTION OF THIS VIDEO AND HAVE SOME… COMMENTS. I am extremely ill over this guy I have written an almost 2k word essay about her which is kind of outdated. WHATEVER. One: the sancho = don theory is disproven. SO. it has been pointed out that on Don Quixote’s jacket in her chibi form “Miguel” is written. “Miguel” also has appeared on her jacket in even recent merch! Now Miguel obviously refers to Miguel Cerevantes which now just. Outright disproves the sancho=don theory. So what could this mean?? Now miguel cerevantes had a very extensive military career which could make me think Quixote was involved in the Smoke War somewhat. He was also arrested ATLEAST 4 times also possibly for manslaughter. NOW. what if we follow Man of La Mancha! Where the phrase “The impossible dream” comes from! While i have not watched the play, Cerevantes gets incarcerated and basically puts on a show with other prisoners of his OCS. At the same time, Cerevantes, if i remember, ALSO gets criticized for his extreme idealism.. personally i think Quixote here is just a character BUT one extremely close to who LCB quixote actually is. NOW ANYWAYS THE FUCKING SPANISH INQUISITION. Miguel Cerevantes had much trouble with the spanish inquisition AGAIN shown by the fact he has been arrested this much. AND NCORP! NCORP. Nagel und Hammer extremely obviously parallels the practices of the Inquisition… additionally their followers are outright called inquisitors. Additionally in Quixote’s 1* ID art you can see people getting stabbed by what could be assumed to be nails. While I only have a very rough outline of what her full plot could be I just think in general she would be so used to performing she is so used to being dehumanized to the point she just decides to dehumanize herself. “The death of don quixote” will occur but moreso the desth of a character who only lives to please other people and the creation of someone who truly lives for theirselves. OH I DIDNT MENTION MY TAKES ABOUT HER PERSONALITY SO THIS MAKES MORE SENSE. I think don quixote is hiding things. But not much. Accross most universes she shows an intense passion and vigor no matter WHAT even in shi section!!! She might just be making herself look more happy than she is, or more valiant and knightly but she is definitely not faking those things so core to her character such as her horribly black and white thinking, impulsivity, lack of emotional intellegence and vigor!! i think she is also hiding more signs of anxiety and percieved feelings of incompetancy and inferiority.. considering the way she doesnt even condemn her “friends” for treating her so inhumanely makes me think she has a very low perception of herself paired with her consistently being silenced and looked down upon consistently by many people. she seems to be someone who is. Overly-forgiving as well and when it comes to herself she really is a doormat. VERY valiant for other people just bad at protecting herself
Ma sono matto o sei ita?
Soon chapter 5.5???
Hey, so one thing I thought about soon after which I thought might be important or at least interesting to clarify concerning 4 stars and such. Why even is there any expectation for higher rarities ? Some gachas mix gods and childs into the highest rarity and there isn't any complain. So why is Limbus not the same ? I think the answer lies in two things:
First, The City Power ranking, tied with Lore and Gameplay relationship. The City, contrarily to most universes, has a clear power ranking, in the form of hierarchy and fixer grades. Those aren't necessarily power based, but there is an expectation that the higher the grade, the stronger. Law of the jungle and all. And PM linking Lore and Gameplay at any occasion becomes a double edged sword, when that means that strong characters in lore are expected to be strong in gameplay. Hence any expectation for grade 1 to be way stronger than section 4s in gameplay too.
The second point is the progression of the story regarding the ranks. In both LobCorp and Ruina, we've been used to growing through previously mentionned power ranking in the story, be it grades or abno rankings. Therefore there is a clear expectation for upcoming content to be gradually stronger. And again, stronger content has to be linked with stronger units, because of this lore and gameplay link.
As for why those stronger units are supposed to be higher rarity, is because in gachas, creating too much imbalance in a rarity tier make the randomness of gachas when you pull something weaker really frustrating. There are always been stuff like power creep in gachas, but it was rarely to the point of like 4 stars completely beating 5 stars, and the reason is rarely ever lore related. And in our case, the power difference expectation between section 1s and 4s for exemple is supposed to be huge. That's why to fit the coherence, adding a rarity is the most coherent thing gameplay wise. As I said then they can still keep everything 3 stars, but that will cause problem, of either imbalance or missing expectations.
So an interesting addition I thought would be good mentionning.
I think there will be 12-3 chapters in inferno and paradiso and purgatorio will be 1 maybe 2 chapters
We are getting stronger ids, newer 3* association ids have their section rank higher than earlier ones
Not only is it that identities, and even Base Sinners, are weakened currently, but it means we will eventually hit a ceiling, where either the Identities will experience a progression of sorts in their respective Mirror Worlds, or be left behind and replaced with a different Identity as we progress, perhaps even linking the two Identities through progression, making it so the players' time not feel wasted while also allowing much stronger Identities coexist in the same rarity.
Another thing that could end up happening is the Base Sinners growing in strength, maybe their E.G.O.'s will become a part of their kit, rather than be activated occasionally, to showcase a level of progression on the Sinners' part, and perhaps this would incite the aforementioned progression in the Mirror Worlds and their Identities.
16:18 nuh uh,he is adopted so i think that is fine
I like the theory that Heathcliff follows Hareton's story (or at least a mix of it) and the person inside the bodysack is the OG Heathcliff.
That said, with Pequod ID saying Heathcliff got hurt by what Cathy said and that funeral CG scene, if Ishmael can't save Heathcliff then this canto will be the start of a very, very dark road for the guy.
