Basically this whole thing can be broken up into two sections and the second section is like 10 minutes long lol
In the first part we're just following around Iansan in what I could even say is her Character Quest. It's heavily based around her skills, her personality and how she can help. We do a bunch of stuff all in one place but we learn that she's overcome some personal challenges. There's no other characters we interact with in this time. The only other major character that appears is Capitano and he just gives us another solution. His appearance pretty much serves as additional information to hint at what he'll be doing in the next act of the story.
Then we get to the second part. We get what amounts to cameos by all the other major characters and they just talk about the same old stuff we already knew about. There's a potential hint on how they plan to save Mavuika but there's also nothing specific which is weird for going into the last part of the story like we are.
There's also the lingering matter of the ongoing SAG-AFTRA strike which reared it's ugly head by silencing Iansan who again is pretty much the main focus of this story. However we did end up getting Kachina back and from what I heard she even voiced the lines that were missing from last time. Kinich still hasn't come back though. Hopefully the whole gang will be around for the finale and hopefully that finale will be worthwhile. It will also be a huge patch too since it'll both be the New Year's and Chinese New Year's patch.
Fingers crossed guys!
