Adventurer Stories
Each character has their own stories. Some ranging from funny and quirky, but these? This is anything but, and can leave you sympathizing with them fast.
- Erik's predicament. In his third episode, "No Home to Return To", his noble family considered him as dead from a shipwreck—they even gave him a gravestone. He can't bear to show himself to them.
- Cibella's backstory, being the Sole Survivor of a fiend attack on her church. Some of her home screen quotes has her reflect her memories of that church.
- Thaniel is clearly going through some horrible inner turmoil during his story. Despite his loyalty to the Prince being completely genuine, his inability to tell him that he just wanted to escape the hellish navy causes him to break down sobbing when he actually fesses up.
- Naveed's reason for his hesitation around women. According to his story's third episode "Love Is Fleeting", he was engaged to someone, but after his business went south, she left him for another man. He worries that the next woman he'd love would do the same.
- The beginning of Odetta's travels. Her family once owned a mansion until her parents died, leaving her with the servants. Soon the servants left, with the heartless of them looting the place before parting. Finally, a rival house of nobles seized the estate, forcing Odetta to leave.
- Summer Luca's story has him getting seperated from the group and lost on the beach. He briefly befriends a bunny whom he names Fluffy, but he soon lets him go to be with his own. After only a day and a half, Luca breaks down crying thinking the group abandoned him. It is honestly hard to see the optimistic Luca like this.
- Audric’s story is just one tragedy after another. The whole thing takes place in the Bad Future from the Fractured Futures event, and the first thing that happens is the future version of Raemond making a Heroic Sacrifice so Audric can retreat from the empire’s dragons into the ruins of the Halidom. There he reunites with Sinoa, Ranzal, and Erik, who convince him that his only option is to return to the Prince’s time and prevent the future from ever coming to pass, even knowing that it’s a death sentence for all three of them. On his way to find Cassandra, who knows how he can get to the past for good, he brings along a group of villagers, hoping to lead them to safety in the process. Unfortunately, the villagers catch wind of his goal to leave this world, and decide Cassandra must be tricking him. To stop him, they kill Cassandra and Notte, who was trying to dissuade them at the time. Fortunately, Cassandra left Audric with the means to sever his link to his time, but before he has a chance to go back, the villagers decide that if he won’t protect them, the empire will grant them favor in exchange for Audric’s head. The final tragedy Audric faces is having to kill every one of the villagers he once protected before finally managing to make it back in time to begin setting everything right.
- Chelsea's story shows how she became the way she is. Her parents were basically murdered by humans for trying to integrate into their society, and Chelsea herself gets rejected by her fellow Sylvans for being a traitor to their race, which did not do wonders for her mental health. Fortunately, Luca was the first to show sympathy for her plight, but her damaged mental state turned her attraction to Luca into a total obsession with him. Chelsea's Yandere tendencies can be both pretty funny and creepy, but the reason behind it is heartbreaking.
- As vicious and cruel as they are, Kai Yan and Ciella of the Agito have rather tragic pasts. Kai Yan was once as idealistic as Luca, wanting people of all races to be able to live in harmony, and even took it upon himself to promote said peaceful ideals. Unfortunately, this also left his people unable to defend themselves, resulting in all of them being slaughtered. This tragedy completely twisted the Qilin's ideals, believing that the world is only meant for the strong such as himself. And given how Ciella was once a renowned and admired Paladyn, it's heavily implied that she was forced to bear witness to, or even commit herself, the atrocities done by the Corrupt Church in the goddess's name, driving her mad with despair. Beneath that cruel and sadistic Hope Crusher lies a woman who has clearly crossed the Despair Event Horizon several times over.
- Yoshitsune's story is filled with tragedy and heartbreak starting with the sacrifice of her bodyguard Benkei while the dragon Tsukuyomi gives her immortality. Over the years, she has plenty of adventures and has an adopted family, even learning how to turn from an old woman to her younger form. Chapter 4 has her come back to her adopted daughter, Marie, who had grown old waiting for "Mama" to come back and tell her new stories, when she falls asleep smiling.
- Kimono Notte's story, despite being rather funny and charming with the characters being sucked into a Mario Party-esque board game, reveals something rather tragic for her. When one of the games trials involves her having to face her greatest fear, it is revealed that she has a bad case of Hates Being Alone and that she knows deep down she will outlive her friends due to her lifespan as a fairy. It thankfully ends happily with Notte decreeing that she will simply make as many memories as possible in the time she has with them and enjoy herself so she can't regret it, but it's telling how much Notte depends on her friends and how broken she may become without their support despite her being the main source of it for them many times. Add on what we have seen of what becomes of her when her friends all perish in the Bad Future Chronos made, and it's easy to see just how much she needs her relationships with others to avoid breaking down.
- Phares's story is brutal. First, it's revealed that even after being cured of wyrmscale, he is still dying. Second, we find out that his pactdragon Uranus, whom we had never seen on heard about until recently, was killed by his own hand in his research. Third, when he assembles a team of the Halidom's finest researchers to look into the progenitor and prepares to pass leadership to Cassandra only for her to demand she look into helping him recover, he refuses. Unlike with Audric, Cassandra refuses to take no for an answer, and Chelle is also as determined to save him no matter how much he tells them to let him die. It takes an Armor-Piercing Question from Chelle to get Phares struggling to answer. Fourth, Leonidas send report that Valkaheim is being attacked by black mana infused fiends in hopes of Phares being able to help, and Phares takes it upon himself to deal with the situation. Among the attackers is revealed to be Uranus who had been brought back by the black mana and turned hostile. Finally, when Uranus attempts an attack on Leonidas, Phares takes the blow and thinks this enough to kill him once and for all, only for Leonidas remind him how hard he fought to survive. With the strife to live, he gets Leonidas to help him end Uranus's suffering, which allows Uranus to thank Phares and tell him that he will live on inside of him. Phares suffered so much, and he feels himself responsible for it all.
- While Bondforged Zethia's story ends on a happy note, things are rather sad for "The Auspex and Her Family" and "Scars Of The Empire". The former has her apologize for everything she did as the Empress, despite having no control over it during a meeting with the rest of her siblings, and the latter has her scorned for her time as the Empress. Zethia is remorseful for what she had done under Morsayati's presence and is willing to face stigma for some time. That's the kind of person she is.
Main Story
Through the many ups and downs of the main campaign, there are moments where you may find yourself in tears, purely because of these tragic moments.
- Near the end of Chapter 5, once the Other left King Aurelius, he took a fatal hit directed at his youngest son, the Prince, from the now-possessed Zethia. After that, he offered himself to Zodiark to replenish his mana.
- Cleo's reunion with Alberius, in which she has to help Euden slay Alberius, who is on the verge of rampaging after having so much miasma in his body for so long. Their second reunion in Chapter 20 is a more joyous occasion, thankfully.
- In Chapter 11, Mascula gives his Heart Drive to Laxi, sacrificing himself in the process to stop her rampage.
- Chapter 14 has the combat androids developing wills of their own, knowing they're going to die as they push through Harle's electric barrier to shut it down. The physical damage can be fixed, but their heart drives are totally destroyed, rendering them totally dead.
- Imagine growing up with a couple people your age (or so it appears) and getting along with them to the point you've basically known them your entire life. And then, one day, one of those two was yanked away from you by the cruel hand of fate, and you and the other come across a bunch of other folk, undergo countless battles and trials, all for the sake of getting this one person back - and, on the way, not only failing to do so, but having to help keep the friend you still have from breaking down due to learning that he may not be who he thought he was all along. And after all that, and the newfound search for answers, imagine being told by this reasonable authority figure you were led to find that everything in those previous sentences was all engineered towards a specific outcome, the reason you can't remember anything before you met those people was that same engineering, and that this figure basically turned you into his personal surveillance drone with you not knowing, let alone suspecting, a single thing all this time. Unfortunately for Notte, she doesn't have to imagine, because that's exactly what Finlorda did to her.
- The way Finlorda told the story, it was clear he didn't like doing it either, and yet he had his reason for doing it, considering the dangerous materials he was working with at the time. He does not try to excuse his actions in the slightest, but it's clear that he did what he did because he had no choice.
- As for those dangerous materials? Imagine fighting this eldritch horror and its minions for months on end, and just when you think it's gone for good, you're soon told - to your face - that not only were you not born in a natural manner, but your flesh was crafted from the flesh of the very same eldritch horror you've been fighting. Yes, Euden, you are the Other.
- While it isn't touched upon as much, poor Leif's got it rough, especially when it comes to his two closest friends, Harle and Cecile. Leif has to witness Harle become a horribly wicked and cruel bastard committing many atrocities, not knowing that the real Harle was actually banished to another world and replaced with Loki, the impostor he sees now. And Cecile, who was once a noble knight, became incredibly traumatized after being made to kill innocent dragons and people, and has become a shaky, panicking drug addict to cope with her trauma. Even when Leif finds out that the real Harle is alive and well, Harle ends up having to go into hiding to protect him and Cecile from the many other enemies he's made apart from Loki, without even getting a chance to reunite.
- The end of Chapter 22 has Audric run out of time and fade from existence and just after revealling to Euden and Nedrick that he is their father from another timeline. When the heroes express that he would return to his own, he lets them know that because he severed his chain of causality, he will cease to exist. He says his farewell before he vanishes for good. The royal siblings all cry out his name in tearful anguish, even the otherwise unflappable Chelle.
- If you've read the castle story "That Which Remains" and his Gala story, this gets much, much worse if you look at his character in another way. the former's ending reveals that due to severing his chain of causality, people won't remember who he is at all eventually, while the latter showcases that he is running out of time. So when Audric denied Cassandra's request to reconnect him to the chain of causality, he was essentially asking her to let him die.Audric: I care not if I am cut free of the world, nor if I become a nameless warrior. Once the battles are fought and won, all will forget about the fool king who brought down the world. Is that not preferable?
- With that in consideration, this paints his final line in his Gala Story towards a different light.Audric: I'm coming, my beloved progeny.
- With all this talk of severing one's own chain of causality and all that it entails, Chapter 25's second half suggests that Zena is about to make that same choice as well; one can chalk it up to knowing that failure means all she loves will be erased anyway, but knowing that doesn't make it hurt any less. Of course the choice to sever her chain of causality is made easier at the cost of her own brother, having finally freed him from Morsayati's control with the Prince's help but only to reveal that he's Xenos's puppet like Phares from the main world was, blowing up their world and many others upon his demise, leaving her with nothing to come home to and no one from her original world to remember her as they are annihilated completely. At the very least, Zena has finally accomplished her initial mission of freeing her brother, even as he reveals upon regaining control of himself that he supports the destruction of all possibility with his original personality that she loved restored. This makes her stopping him not only more heartbreaking than ever for her, but ultimately futile as the Otherworld Prince ignites the vast quantity of black mana in their world and destroys it and every other world attached in a vicious chain reaction post-mortem. With all that she had sacrificed to save her brother, she has nothing left to show for it but to save the remaining world left. And for that extra kick in the taco, Xenos comes along soon after and deletes that last world anyway. Poor Zena indeed...
- If you've read the castle story "That Which Remains" and his Gala story, this gets much, much worse if you look at his character in another way. the former's ending reveals that due to severing his chain of causality, people won't remember who he is at all eventually, while the latter showcases that he is running out of time. So when Audric denied Cassandra's request to reconnect him to the chain of causality, he was essentially asking her to let him die.
- Chapter 24 doesn't stop with the punches, either. The party goes to Lefkos to find the Primordial Dragons, and the truth behind the destruction of Lefkos is revealed. During a war between another nation, Sheila sought to help out her homeland by investigating The Dragon Necropolis. Thanks to the black mana within the lake, the soldiers started getting corrupted and attacked each other, and could do nothing but watch. after realizing that she wasn't affected by the black mana, she tried to control it. Key word being tried, because she lost control of the black mana, and wasn't able to stop it. As a result, it overflowed Lefkos, forcing her to witness the destruction of her homeland by her own hands. From what we've seen of black mana and the few glimpses of Lefkos' destruction in Gatov's Character Story, we can only imagine what happened next...Sheila's Soul: My...fault...
- Think about it for a moment. the immense guilt that she felt was so severe that she wasn't able to re-integrate with her new body, thus rendering her an Empty Shell. Sweet Ilia...
- To make this even worse, Sheila described it as "an inhumane and dreadful plan" and "nothing short of evil". She may have already regretted what she was about to do before the unthinkable happened.
- Another example from the same chapter which also doubles as Heartwarming. Gatov attempts to save his daughter by trying to claim her mistakes as his own, but upon coming to the realization that he may have pushed his own arrogance on her, and that she always wanted to make him proud by proving herself useful, he decides to acknowledge Sheila as someone who can make her own decisions, which leads to him admitting that Sheila is at fault for the fall of their kingdom. Instead of the typical hugs and kisses, Gatov assures her that while she made a grave mistake regarding the destruction of Lefkos, he's made his fair share of errors as well, and that they can share those burdens equally.Gatov: I hear you, my daughter. And if that's how it is, let us take responsibility together. You need not suffer alone anymore, for we will share the burden!Sheila's Soul: Together...?Gatov: Your past, your sins, your punishment, AND your future are all your own. But you need not be imprisoned by them or suffer alone. Whatever you may become, your father will be at your side.
- The second half of Chapter 25 does not pull its punches. Euden and Zena go to Zena's world to recover her original body, and they end up being forced to confront Zena's version of The Other, destroying him entirely using Zena's new powers and freeing her version of Euden. Happy ending, right? Nope! This version of Euden is in fact a willing pawn of the Progenitor, and is prepared to blow up his entire world to achieve the Progenitor's end goal. Zena is forced to put him down... But unfortunately, it's too late, and the "bomb" has already been activated, rendering her act meaningless and destroying her world, leaving her in shambles before she's able to put herself back together.
- Poor Euden himself has been humbled by the realization that his decision to give up his body to The Other was a terrible mistake, as demonstrated by various worlds where Beren didn't intervene, and that said intervention was the only reason Euden didn't immediately doom his world.
- Chapter 26: The Otherworld main characters, full stop. Due to various timelines where things went terribly wrong, all of them have fallen right into the Despair Event Horizon for various reasons.
- They're all furious at Euden for trying to give up his body to The Other, especially considering the various worlds where Beren didn't intervene. Euden himself has already admitted this was nearly a fatal error.
- Elisanne has completely lost her faith like Ciella, and was too hung up on Euden not being a true heir to the throne to get over her issues.
- Cleo never got over the Mercy Kill she and Euden were forced to inflict on Alberius. She knows it's not logical, but her heart was never able to overcome that emotional hurdle, partly due to lack of closure that the main version received at the Tree.
- Alex never left the path of an assassin, and even killed Elisanne herself, blaming Euden for "leading her down the wrong path".
- The Greatwryms in many worlds ended up going to war with humankind, with Euden being forced to slay them himself. Brunhilda never was able to get together with Euden, and lost all hope in ever doing so.
- Chapter 26, and the game as a whole, has a Bittersweet Ending. Euden, having been created from the Other (and by extension, Mordecai), is a part of Xenos' heart. Thus, he starts to fade away after Xenos himself is put down for good. Euden proceeds to use the power of creation to make sure the world is restored, at the cost of none of his friends being able to remember him. Midgardsormr is the only exception, and he hangs a lampshade over the unfairness of Euden not being able to be happy in the world he fought so hard to save. Though by the very end, it's revealed that he will, in a sense, just not as the person he once was.
Events
- The raid event "Skyborne Spectacle": According to Su Fang's grandparents, Su Fang left his parents after a spat about showing pyroblossoms to the world. Once he returned, he finds his parents dead from a pyroblossom accident that burned down the workshop.
- The Valentine's event sees Hildegarde shunning the mere concept of merriment, and Mym and Ezelith call her out on it. In the second episode of her event story, she reveals that she was separated from her parents and sent to an orphanage. Special events celebrated in the orphanage gave her so much sorrow due to memories of her time with her parents that she spends each special occasion as a shut-in.
- "A Waltz With Fate" is one tragedy after another for Felicia. She's kidnapped from her village by her Stalker with a Crush Thanatos because he wanted her to dance just for him. All's well and good, as she held on hope that she could be rescued and returned to her village... except Thanatos laid ruin to the place shortly after he took her. That's on top of Thanatos doing everything he can to stop Phantom, the Prince, and the crew from taking her back. While the heroes manage to defeat Thanatos and secure Felicia's freedom, the best they can offer is a place to stay at the Halidom. Unlike most other events where it turns out everyone's okay, in "A Waltz With Fate" it's implied that Felicia's village and its inhabitants are gone, either by perishing during Thanatos' attack or being untraceable after the fact. Felicia certainly didn't deserve any of this.
- The Bad Future that Audric takes Euden to in "Fractured Futures" starts with Euden discovering the Halidom in ruins, but also finding Notte wandering said ruins. When he tries to talk to her, Notte turns out to have crossed the Despair Event Horizon, furious at Euden for something his future self did and declaring that she'll get revenge on him somehow. This is punctuated with full CGs of her crying her heart out, and the whole speech in Japanese is chilling. The fact that the usually plucky Notte is reduced to a terrified, crying mess speaks volumes of how bad things have gotten.
- Before this Despite his best efforts, Euden fails to protect future!Zethia due to Chronos being able to basically rewind his own time. Poor Zethia can only ask her brother for forgiveness before she expires.
- The "Scars of the Syndicate" event really sucks for the featured Adventurer Aldred. First his backstory: his parents being killed, he and his sister were taken by the Syndicate and experimented on. Second, he learns that the Syndicate's Manticore he killed was his sister. He takes this very poorly.Aldred: No... My sister! NOOOOO!Euden: That manticore was your SISTER?!Aldred: What have I done...?
- The ending of Forgotten Truths. Mordecai willingly seals himself away alongside Morsayati in an Otherworld portal. Ilia then apologizes to Meene and jumps into the portal with him, realizing that as long as she continues to exist in the world, she will bring great danger. Meene does NOT take this well at all and completely breaks down crying. She's so overcome with grief, that she willingly destroys her wings, knowing full well that she will never be able to return home, and takes up the title and name of "the Goddess Ilia", to honor her daughter's memory and to establish the Ilian Church to spread harmony between humans and dragons. She only has Midgardsormr Zero to accompany her in this endeavor all the way until her death. One can only imagine how painful it must have been to hear herself be referred to as "Ilia", reminding her of the daughter she could not save in the end...
- On a related note, the Ilian Church itself. What started as a well-intentioned and wholehearted desire to prevent the tragedy from repeating itself and ensuring the destruction of the world gradually lost its way over the following thousand years, eventually giving way to political corruption, brutal hunting of heretics, falsification of historical documents note , spreading slander to exploit a nation's weakness and internal conflict, and experimentation with black mana and otherworldly forces the likes of which are capable of ravaging the world all over again, and that's if you exclude Cardinal Lambent selling out to Dyrenell and becoming Morsayati's next host in the end. Imagine being Midgardsormr and having to watch all this go down; the guy must be unshakable in his faith to not go full Agito over all of this. And imagine how fast Meene would spin in her grave if she knew this was what became of the very institution she founded.
- Dawn of Dragalia makes a bad thing even worse: in addition to the aforementioned selling out to Morsayati, not only did the humans of the time have to deal with rampaging fiends and Dyrenell forces, but even dragons turned their wrath on them, courtesy of Elysium. If it wasn't clear before, Elysium only cares about his idea of order, and his dismal view of humans shows that he does not see them as part of it, and has decided to annihilate the species because of the actions of a select few individuals. And with how Auspex Origa is, one has to wonder if Alberius' words and actions even stuck. He's going to be back... and unless Euden and his Halidom can both avert the immediate catastrophes and stay his wrath, the world itself may not survive what could only be described as armageddon.
- Faith Forsaken has one when the archangels are brought back after initially pulling a Heroic Sacrifice to try to stop Satan. Pinon's crying. Hell, even Nevin, who at the beginning of the event was calling a hologram of Regina names, actually can't help but try holding back tears. In short, OOF.
Dragon Stories
- Roc's story. She had a pact with a noble known only as the Mercenary Prince. The story is about his death. Roc tries and fails to bring him to Phoenix. The Mercenary Prince assures her that he has no regrets, except for one: he regrets not being able to see the world in a more peaceful state.
- Phantom's story reveals he was shunned by people and dragons alike for his appearance his entire life. One day he saw people were being terrorized by fiends and felt compelled to save them out of nothing but the goodness of his heart. When the fiends were all gone, the townsfolk turned on Phantom, calling him a fiend and accusing him of causing all of their problems. Even when Phantom tried to explain himself, they refused to listen, sealing Phantom in the void between worlds.
- Liger, of all dragons, gets one as well. As a young dragon, he and a boyhood friend of his discovered the circus and enjoyed it. Of course while Liger is in the prime of his youth dragonwise, his friend grew old and died, leaving him heartbroken and depressed until Annelie found him and recruited him for the circus.
- High Brunhilda's story reveals the tragic tale of the original Mym. Unlike Brunhilda, Mym was shy, timid, and ill-suited for battle, but she fought anyway out of love for Alberius. Then one day, during an intense battle against the Dyrenell Empire, Alberius was about to be struck by a fatal blow until Mym took the hit for him, even though she was terrified. The Alberian army managed to turn the battle around and even got an opportunity to seize a major stronghold, but Mym was so badly injured she would die if they continued fighting. Despite her predicament, Mym told Alberius to keep fighting, a request that he chose to honor. Thus, Mym died separated from the man she loved, with no one but Brunhilda to accompany her. It gets fully shown in Myriam's Adventurer Story to twist the knife.
- Mini Zodi's story ends with the Wham Line of him reminiscing about being alone and outliving the man he promised to be with forever, while walking in the same park road he once did with Aurelius.Z Month, Z DayPhysical Condition: Surprisingly GoodTook a walk in Yuyugi Park alone today, on a path I trod long ago with Aurelius, And that day he said..."Let us walk together forever."
- Surprisingly, Elysium elicited a sympathetic reaction from the fandom once his perspective was put into mind accompanied with his dragon story alongside his genuinely tragic death in Chapter 24. Putting into mind that he is an All-Loving Hero who's methods became questionable simply because he loved the world and it's people that much, alongside seeing the world doomed over and over and over again as another factor. His caring attitude devolved into irrationality all because of his love for humanity, and it screwed him over in the end.
Rise of the Sinister Dominion
Ever wanted to take Cry for the Devil literally? With the existence of the Fallen Angels, you now have that opportunity.
- The vessel for Surtr, Fallen Angel Michael, comes across as a truly tragic figure. While the original Michael is insufferable and condescending, Fallen Angel Michael is an anguished man who's desperately trying to contain Surtr as his influence corrupts him. This is in contrast to the other Fallen Angels, who have completely succumbed to their demons' influence by the time you encounter them. He frantically begs you to kill him so he won't release Surtr, but in the end it happens anyway. Even the original Michael expresses remorse for his fallen counterpart's fate in the present.
- Fallen Angel Michael also casts a much darker light on the other Fallen Angels. While they were all consumed by the demons' corruption by the time you fight them, they all used to be just like the original angels at one point. There's no doubt they suffered just as much as Fallen Angel Michael before they crossed the Despair Event Horizon and gave up.
- The way all of the Fallen Angels have become twisted mockeries of the originals.
- Ramiel was stern and stoic, but also dutiful and caring deep down. His fallen counterpart is now just a subservient slave to Lilith who laughs sadistically as he fights you.
- Gabriel could be an Amazingly Embarrassing Parent at times, but she truly loved the people she cared for. Her fallen counterpart corrupts it into treating people like helpless babies who should do whatever she says.
- Raphael is boisterous and reckless, but also a healer who helps people in need. Her fallen counterpart is a childish Blood Knight who just fights for the sake of it.
- Uriel is very critical of others, but he still understands the value of working together and bonding with people. His fallen counterpart is arrogant to the point where he will kill everyone in sight so he can wallow in his own sense of superiority by himself.
- Ironically, Fallen Angel Michael actually comes across as nicer than his original counterpart. While the original Michael is known to follow his sigil-bound partner's commands even when it lead to the deaths of innocent people, his fallen counterpart is the only Fallen Angel who's still trying to resist his demon's influence, even though doing so is causing him great agony.
Dragalia Life
No, not even the fun, lighthearted nature of Dragalia Life is exempt from having sad moments.
- In strip #160, Audric tries to do some parenting for Euden with bedtime stories, only to accidentally induce more nightmares by talking about the Bad Future. Even in the lighthearted spinoff comic, Audric can't catch a break.
- Strip #468, while heartwarming as a whole has some sad undertones considering that the End of an Era is coming. The kicker? The very last lines in the comic? Euden and Mym thank you for everything.
Real Life
- With the one-year anniversary, every adventurer received special voice lines commemorating the occasion. Even Kleimann, whose Japanese voice actor Unsho Ishizuka passed away due to esophageal cancer shortly before the game's release.
- On March 21st, 2022, Cygames announced that the final chapter would be released in July and the game would shut down at a later date with the March 30th Gala dragalia being the last showcase with new characters. Many fans who stuck with the game for a while were very saddened to read the news.
- On November 30th, 2022, the game had shut down. People trying to log in again would be treated to this screen
. What makes this both heartwarming and sad is that people used the "Contact Support" option to send their thanks to the support team, for giving them 3-4 whole years of a game that they've grown fond of. Seeing the community being so fond of Dragalia Lost may invoke another type of Tearjerker...
