Time frame for UwU world first, thoughts?

[Squintina]

Not being one to have time to follow the streams, can somebody spoiler tag what this big twist is? I'm curious (and have no interest in actually going into the content myself, I'm happy to observe others.)

Sure thing. I can't say what I will write is 100% accurate (since anything can change if people discover more things) but this is what I've found out so far from the streams:

They realized that just beating the primals wasn't enough.

You have to do it in a specific way to get them to Awaken - and when that happens their fight style changes to become even harder. Doing it in this specific way is also difficult because it essentially relies on people doing mechanics in an unnatural way - by forcing the player to "fail" it. Since failing mechs on purpose = taking on damage, it's a bit of a challenge.

Failure to do so will eventually lead to a Doom status that is unremovable

At least that's the ongoing theory right now
