ProjectMoon Megathread - Lobotomy Corporation, Library of Ruina, Limbus Company, etc.

My theory is that half of the sinners will defect to join the BBEG, willingly or unwillingly, and you'll have to fight through a boss rush to get them back

Can they do that though? They’re all contractually bound, to limbus, the sinners, and Dantehhhh.

I mean why kill your only lifeline and the man who leaded you, guided you to your ultimate self, and took all your pain. Anyways its gregor hes gonna betray us cause of his arm going haywire and going full tetsuo and his arm is forced to fight us

Are you forgetting what happened in canto VI? When Heathcliff distorted and attacked the sinners after unmasking the other Heathcliff.
Edit: They easily could use the monoliths that made Kim distort to make the sinners or others turn hostile towards the company.

Are you forgetting what happened in canto VI? When Heathcliff distorted and attacked the sinners after Nelly revealed her betrayal.

The way I look at it, it’s just an exaggerated illustration of someone lashing out towards the people he cares about. In simpler terms, heathcliff was just having a spergout, admittedly he was miraculously brought back by an outside force but it wasn’t like it was meant to be a full on betrayal.

Imagine you have a friend that is going through it and they sperg out at you, that’s kind of like what the corrosion of ego is like, except a lot less destructive.

Oh wow the most ordinary and unexceptional sinner who yearns for being special like the mark of cain is the healer of the group ggwp rodya

Personally I'm waiting for her future healing EGO in about 10-12 Walpurgisnacht(s) later, maybe.

Spoiler: Future EGO

It makes sense because

Spoiler

One Sin and Hundreds of Good Deeds is a direct reference to Crime and Punishment, and the legacy One Sin also has a reference to it.

I really wonder if she'll actually play a pivotal role in the plot, like her betraying the group or actually repenting, instead of the constant "not special" thing that el director is doing

 

[wtfNeedSignUp]

The game already feels comfortable enough for having specific character only fights. But I doubt there will be any character turnaround that will last more than the canto/event in it seeing it's a gacha. Only if it survives until the end of Dante's journey maybe there will be a fresh cast with interesting development to the previous cast.

It would have to be a WN ego unless limbus crew go to Angela's library 2.0 she said she was going to open at the end of ruina

It's implied that white knight and by extension one sin along with the rest of the alephs were located specifically within the L corp HQ since they needed as much energy as possible to power ayin's time machine.

Pretty much, especially if you consider Wonderlab canon.

I agree. I've always believed that Outis is the red herring for "which Sinner will betray us?" Its very clear Rodya would do anything for the chance at something better. In TKT when realizing Sonya is now a Saint and has actually made progress in his goal whilst Rodya has essencially done nothing completely broke her. A really tempting offer made by N.Corp/Hermann & Co. could make her seriously question whether her place in Limbus Company is really amounting to anything.

Another betrayer would be Gregor but not of his own choice which is related to Hermann. He's always has symbolism of Judas but also Jesus at the same time, he will "betray" us but only when Dante and the Sinners stray from the path. He'll sacrifice himself in order to bring us back in the same way the twelth apostle would when battling WhiteNight.

 

[Sulla]

>people thinking rodya or outis is going to betray the group

I will now post my schizo theory

Spoiler: I'm pretty sure I'm right so read at your own discretion

I'm betting that Dante is the guy who made the original mirror technology. I can't remember the name since apparently all koreans have the same name.

People will still try to tell me we aren't raiding the library at some point kek

I think I was right all the way back in season 2.
Dante is Young-ji.
Dante is going to betray limbus company for his waifu.

Meta gaming but, in the divine comedy. og Dante's goal was to retrieve Beatrice who is stuck in purgatory.
Also taking a note from Ruina where all of the plotlines were parallels to Angela or Roland.

Dante's waifu (assuming its not Carmen) has been concept killed by the concept incinerator just like Catherine.

In Heathcliff's chapter, Damien asks Dante if he would prefer his universe's waifu or some other universe's in which he responds his own.

In Yi sang's chapter, in one of the flashbacks its implied that the mirror universe technology was developed by young-ji for a specific goal, but it didn't meet his expectations.

Dante's powers are clearly building the Qliphoth tree, so lets assume the negative aspects of each sinner's story apply to Dante.

Gregor's story: He was the hope for his corporation before he lost control and deserted.
Rodya's story: Her actions for justice ultimately brought attention and ruined the people she was trying to protect.
Sinclair's story: He disliked his family/friends and radicalized only to regret it.
Yi sang's story: He isolated himself from his friends to keep them from his work and ultimately lost agency in his life.
Ishmael's story: How her and Ahab's obsessions doomed the people who relied on them.
Heathcliff's story: He didn't understand his waifu's perspective.
Don's story: She didn't value the time she had with her adoptive family and eventually their goals became incompatible.

I wonder what the overarching theme is

I kind of hope "Beatrice" isn't Carmen but here's something to keep in mind.
Because Ayin's time machine isn't perfectly sync'd, the seed of light project ends 10+ years after Carmen's death.
So this does align with Young-ji's timeline.

With all that said, here is what I think has/is happening.

Dante helped coordinate limbus company for the purpose of recreating Carmen's seed of light project for his goal to get his waifu back. I get the feeling that this is ultimately going to fail. (Since the light has already been created and dispersed and altered the laws of physics, it's probably not possible to recreate.)

This will make Dante big mad and super distort like Roland.
However unlike Roland I don't think Dante is going to be able to just move on, and he will leave the company.
og Dante leave's hell for purgatory halfway through the story, so I think there's a good chance that Dante and the sinners will straight up abandon Limbus Company and the city for the outskirts.

Bonus spoilers:
I think it's really suspicious how many resources limbus company has even all the way back in the earlier seasons. This is without it being directly tied to a major wing like N corp. So I still think the Head is directly involved with limbus company. Especially when you consider that the city was deliberately built to be as hellish as possible. Almost as if it's an initial failed attempt to create conditions for the seed of light project.

I already mentioned this at some point, but the Golden Bough are definitely severed pieces of Carmen's nervous system.

I don't think Dante revives the sinners and is instead bringing in other mirror universe versions of themselves when they die much like the wild hunt characters in Heathcliffs chapter.

Faust was part of the same eugenics program that argalia and angelica were in.

Damn, I really liked the pictures of the sinners. Managed to get this snip from the wiki in case others forgot what it looked like. -




Also, I had no clue that I can still get Tingtang Lu. Holy shit, even at Canto VII his smug face manages to haunt me.

 

[twinArmageddons]

I think at this point its gonna start making a bunch of lore questions like we know how don was recruited why was she wearing armor despite the lighthouse or why is outis still wearing military attire after a decade let go granny

It's their driving license photos, they haven't had to go get a new one in a while.

 

[Suikafag]

New Tweet on the official twitter by Kim Ji-Hoon. Its completely in Korean so you’ll have to use MTL to read the whole thing.

TLDR of it though is
A: The mugshots being replaced by sinner logos is temporary because the actual art kept getting delayed. The new art will properly be there by 4/30.
B: Walpurgisnacht has been delayed until after Canto 8.

 

[wtfNeedSignUp]

Walpurgisnacht has been delayed until after Canto 8.

That's a shame. Walp is the best gameplay content they have.

 

[Enigmatic Gale]

because the actual art kept getting delayed.

Expect El Director will use this as the excuse for all the dead weeks and delays Canto VIII will bring just like his turbo autism about getting Faust's VA to rerecord every line. We won't be getting Canto IX until 2026 with the glacial pace of content releases.

The next Canto'll still release at the same date. Walpurgisnacht takes less precedence, so when push came to shove, they chose to delay it. To look on the bright side, the fact they had no time to make art for the icons and Walp. probably means the Canto will have a ton of new artwork.

 

[ProfDongs]

The news of WN not happening is kind of a shame but I completely understand it not happening, the real shame is how much more of a dent that turned my crate hoard into. I was so close to hitting 7k.
