Take this with a grain of sand, but 2.0 is a whole different ball-game.

 

Eric and Brian discuss everything in 2.0 except the story (spoiler-free, baby!) - Yixuan, Suibien, Waifei, no way! S-Rank selectors, current events, and rupture, amidst other tangents.

 

Also, you can check Ju Fufu’s kit, just open the pause menu when you use her during the story. Our bad, y’all!
