Off topic but Eydis new "Memories of the Abyss" add to this game now

[ForThatB]

I demand when they add Eydis to this game include the "Memories of the Abyss" costume as options for her from SAOARS.

[DEAD S.n.A.k.e.]

Well, I doubt they will ever do that, especially because Eydis is out from the game's lore for now and, probably, in general. She will be just like other original characters - with a couple of quests (somehow connected to her sister or/and bathing with Alice and other girls), but that's all. I am really interested how they will explain why she was missing this whole time (99% it will be that she was just deep frozen by Chudelkin/Administrator; but why she wasn't woken up together with Renly, etc. during AL's story - that's the question). And, again, it shows how rushed the game's release was. On FB's release there were GGO Alternative's characters with their small quest line in the game (and that's logical - GGO anime was airing at the time or so and it's pretty much connected to the game itself so it was only natural for them to add it's characters for promoting anime/ranobe and game at the same time and to please the fans). But in AL they will add Eydis - the character who is connected to the arc more than any other original or secondary character from the ranobe/anime - only after all other original characters. Why? Even Futami does't know the anwser. And don't even think when it will happen - they can't even release this last free DLC with Strea and Philia and it's almost AL's first anniversary, lol. So people who is only waiting for Eydis can get back in the game in, like, 2022?
And I am not even talking about them adding Entokia or Nergius...

no joke, Eydis (from the gacha mobile) from rising is 9999% better than that one they gave us.

What are you talking about? This is kinda straight up false and you'd know it if you read the novels, watched the anime, played the first few levels of the mobile game, or simply paid attention during Lycoris. This isn't relevant to what OP said, but I'm about to embarrass you to the best of my ability. Out of the 31 Integrity Knights, some are in active duty that we see (e.g. Alice, Bercouli, Fanatio, etc), some are in deep freeze (e.g Renly and Sheyta), and some are said to be patrolling their quadrant of the End Mountains and never show up. You brought up Entokia and Nergius and this is exactly the category they fall into. Eydis in the mobile game ALSO fell into this category. Her being one of the Knights patrolling the End Mountains has not only been established, but most likely the path they'll take here.
And I won't deny it's taking a long time, but it's perfectly reasonable to have Eydis show up last. If we're going strictly lore wise it makes sense because we didn't see any of the Knights patrolling the Mountains until Moon Cradle when their reason for patrolling died down due to peace with the dark territory and the human empire being under new leadership. They didn't even show up in the war and that was a way bigger deal than anything so far in Lycoris. Oh, they also straight up said in the game that Sheyta and Renly were the only ones they could recover. They're even the only Knights to be recovered in actual lore. I would've preferred Eydis showing up in the base game, but considering that Lycoris' base roster is bigger than Fatal Bullet's at the end of it's line despite having 4 DLCs, with Lycoris planning to add even more for free in the form of previous heroines, I can give this a pass.
Other than that, they simply look to be releasing by game order which I don't mind. By that, it should be: Philia and Strea, Rain and Seven, Premiere and Tia, Zeliska and Kureha, then Eydis. Ofc I could be wrong but we'll see when the next two coming are announced.
And this snail's pace isn't even just a Lycoris thing. Look at Kakarot. Over a year since release and they're only JUST getting their big DLC tomorrow (at the time of writing). The 2 DLC before it are even equal in content and length to the bits that Lycoris have been getting (maybe even shorter).But here we have 3 free ones compared to 2 paid ones. In the same stretch of time since their respective release. 10 months. You could argue quality, but it's bare bones all around. This is an industry wide thing. Maybe even some of it is rooted in covid.
And also, what do you mean on FB's release?! If I remember correctly, the alternative characters were added with DLC. PAID DLC. The game even came out before the anime did so that debunks what you said.
Lycoris has it's flaws, yes, but at this point, and definitely in the future, it has the strongest base game of the sao games. With the 2 paid DLCs in lord knows how long, I'm positive this game will stand above the others without a shadow of a doubt. It already makes a strong case for itself despite the others having DLCs. The only thing FB does objectively better is armor and weapon customization and not having real money currency. Also optimization.
Only thing you've said that even remotely holds up is her being added in 2022. It honestly feels like it'll take that long at this point. But the other characters are just as demanded. Especially the hollow fragment and lost song ones.
