Will we see CENSORED
Place your bets on if CENSORED will make a return in LoR.

(This is indeed a joke post regarding abnormality's that might appear)

In all seriousness, what abnormalities would you want to see its true appearance / a different appearance to what it looked like in LC.

Abnormalities off the list being:
All abnormalities that current can be fought in the current patch and the Silent Orchestra, everything else is fair game.

As for a more serious post on abnormalities. please refer to the other post (Big spoiler warning tho):

I'd imagine Gerbura will have to come fact to face with good ol' Nothing There, again. Could be interesting, especially if the boss uses some variant of <learn> against you (possibly always rolling max numbers, or +1 power, etc), requiring tactical card use.
Wouldn't be suprised if actual mimicry of the units you posses occurs and/or a 2nd "pray to God" bipedal phase will exist too.
(I'll also be mildly disappointed if she doesn't wield Mimicry as a good ol Lobotomy Corp leftover.)

Hm. I'd hazard a guess the yes/no machine, Schadefreude, the Mirror, the Scarecrow, magic Prudence ball, Infinite Hatred, and so on, will either be relocated or they thought 3 is enough per department and just keep it at 3. Oh well, they could add <learn>'s mimicry as an effect from Nothing There instead if he's added to Gerbura's floor. It would fit nicely.

Hm... I guess Big Bird will eventually make it's way here. Probably in Central Command. Heck, probably all 3 of em, maybe even?
If they all go in one department, would be fun if Apocalypse Bird can make an appearance (perhaps by stacking all 3 on one unit). Even better if you can fight it too.

Also wouldn't be too suprised if Wall Gazer makes a return (just hope they stay off the annoying jump-scare tactics). Everyone's "most favourite" magical girl would be fun too, or golden oldies like Red Riding Hood and the Wolf. Or the Mountain of Smiling Bodies, perhaps.

Kind of drawing a blank now but there's a lot of fun ones they could add i'd love to see, alright.
On that note, i still really hope they'll let us fight them again... (We're already locked in team-sizes, so what's the harm in giving us a unlosable "Book of [abnormality]" to "invite" them with again?)

I really like the abnormalities in LC and I did like the battles against them. I would indeed like a Book that would allow you to fight them again, maybe utilize the Book of LC to do such thing. Maybe the book of LC should be more used for other abnormalities such as the Ordeals and such, but eh.

Also, I am surprised they didn't add an Ordeal in the mix of abnormality pages. Heck the Amber, Crimson and Violet ordeals did once represent sins in Legacy days, why not use them. IDK, probably there is a bigger reason like they represent much more greater things then just whats on the tin.

Would be fun if "Book of Lobotomy Corporation" + "Book of [abnormality]" allowed one to have a rematch with the abnormality (locking the team size accordingly, the background/arena could be changed pre-emptively or could be changed mid-battle like with Tomerry).

That way you can even have other floors fight em, if preferred. Every Sephirah could just use the same dialogue, whereas every librarian assistant already has their own.

The Book of Lobotomy Corporation, Book of the Distortion, and any "Book of [Abnormality]" then would be worth nothing for the purpose of General Invitations, and cannot be lost on defeat.

(I mean, why lose Lobotomy/Distortion on defeat anyway, if you can get it back from 1 minute of fighting Rats?? Better to just let us keep it permanently, like the "Book of Something". And that way, losing abnormality fights won't cost us a thing. They're just rematches for fun.)

---

Hm... Suppose Ordeals where always a unfortunate "side-product" of the Abnormality extraction process, so not much focus is put on them. Not sure why Sweepers are extracted Ordeal there, though, aren't those real already?
Doubt they'd be gutsy enough to infiltrate a corp/wing like Lobotomy Corp, though. The unique E.G.O weapons are one thing, but if they knew about the Abnormalities, they wouldn't even consider it!

And Lord knows what's going on with the White Ordeals. Still not sure if they where fragments of A's past, or if The Head actually sent some goons down.

Hm, perhaps they didn't bother archiving Ordeals into books properly (or couldn't), now i think of it? As far as memory goes they weren't fully certain of the nature of Ordeals anyway, and Angela probably cared not for preserving them during Lobotomy's collapse (they didn't help much in providing energy anyway).

Ah well, more fun to meet some familiar "friendly faces" from last game, anyway.

Edit: Hm, or the Ordeals are pieces of the "real world" around Lobotomy seeping in. Would explain the Sweepers. Perhaps the others exist in the outskirts.
Would also explain purely abnormalities being presented, as they're part of Lobotomy, but the Ordeals where not, then.

I want The Magical Girls back. Hatred, Despair and Greed, even if they share cards (since they were supposed to trigger an event when the 3 are togheter like A-Bird does)
Laetitia too, would be fun seeing her gimmick.
Der Freischütz would be awesome.
Red Hood and Wolf would be great (even greater if there is a "passive" when you give the same librarian both effects)
FireBird was a good optional sub-boss fight in LC, so here would be cool fight it again.
Yin and Yang could be interesting (1 Card for each and an effect if you give both to the same Librarian)
Nothing There is a must for Geburah.
And Melting Love would be interesting but I doubt it since is a backer abno.

i hope gebura will censored just because of her floors name

Did always find it a smidge weird Gerbura gets the Floor of Language, considering she's all about combat, instead of a floor about military technology, military/combat strategies, or anything combat-related.
But oh well, as a saying goes, there's a language everyone speaks. (Violence.)

Well, if we're getting 5 per floor anyway, then it'll be interesting how some will work out. Wouldn't be suprised if the Mirror litterally mirrors your moves/cards. Also wouldn't be terribly suprised if we'll get that floating feet fetish of an abnormality for Hokma's floor, Blue Star being kind of it's own religion... :P

Well, mainly just rooting for Nothing There to make it in, kinda indifferent about the rest. They do a good job with any abnormality it seems.
