This is probably going to be the longest season so far

[Joshua Kurayami]

If the reruns are going to function the same as previous events (5 weeks) then we are guaranteed to get 4 whole months of events (plus leftover days since events always go beyond a month) and two weeks from Walpurgis.

That is not counting the amount of time between each event, Plus Railway, plus whatever standard/seasonal IDs/EGOs PM wants to throw in our direction. We might even get blessed by a second Walpurgis near the end of the season.

Oh, and also add the one that will require the most grind. Not just because of the amount of events but the fact that we have to wait a whole week to get an early ID/EGO for that extra payout, although in case of reruns I'm guessing we can reuse our holiday EGOs and BL team.

More worth.

Not guarantee. Those events reruns might just replace some of the non-seasonal banners we always had, and KJ said he wants all seasons to last around 6 months, IIRC.

Were the events 5 weeks long? I forgot. I agree that it will probably be the longest, though, because this is the first canto with 3 intervallos, but they might just chop down the rerun event time by a lot to make up for it. We do know that there's supposed to be two seasons per year, so I can't imagine it'll be much longer than how long CaC took to release. Also, this next canto is dealing with heavier and more abundant content than Don Quixote's, so I wonder how they will be applying that in their own way.

Indeed, and that's not mentioning the amount of resources you get. If it has the same payout as the old events then there's enough extraction tickets from new intervallos, reruns and the one confirmed Walpurgis to cover half a guarantee extraction!

Oh, I guess that would be one way to speed things up, although some people might find it an issue if they had to spend many weeks grinding with only one guaranteed week of no grinding which could also lead to possible burnouts, on top of dealing with Railway as well.

Well it was more like 4 weeks long if we're talking about just grinding, but there was always an extra week to give people a chance to claim there stuff. Also there are actually 4 Intervallos: First one is the Miracle rerun, then the LCB regular checkup, then Claim Bones rerun, and the last one is Nocturnal Sweeping. (With Walpurgis happening after Miracle and Railway after LCB checkup)

Well, whatever their whole season deal is, i'm guessing we're going to get reruns for Timekilling Time and Murder on the Warp Express as well, plus there's that arknights collab happening next year with 0 knowledge of how we're going to get all the EGOs.. so.. yeah, fun.

Reruns will prob last 2-3 weeks, or they will overlap with other banners/events to some extent.

It'll be a lot of grind for newer players but for older players the rerun shops won't be as grindy, since a lot of the rewards (Holiday Heath, cosmetics) you already have.

Though I'm guessing that when it reruns, if you have already have something (e.g. Holiday Heath) then you can 're-obtain' it and get like universal shards instead or thread or something.

Yes.
