That's because you are in the wrong timezone. It's 1pm for me. Feeling fresh and full of energy to criticize Ux.
But to be honest, the lore seems nice. I just wish to see it fully realized as a console game one day with more action.

They wanted us to wait forever to see the end
Too much blablabla and barely anything happened, despite being a long update.
I feel sorry for you.
If I have anything to say on the matter, it's that this is what happens when you put the story of a console game onto a phone.
Wait, so if the data Daybreak Town was created to be a back up of the real Daybreak Town before the war happened and that it's being theorized in-game by the Dandelion leaders that Strelitzia and themselves have data versions, wouldn't that imply that there's data of everyone in Daybreak Town, including those that didn't end up being Dandelions?

Several things.
1. The ability to take another's body involved Darkness in BBS, so it kind of makes sense that it was originally a technique of the Shades (faster to type out than Darknesses and refers specifically to these six.)
2. The Lore that originally Darkness was originally a multitude of physical beings was already established, but now they clarify that they came together in an attempt to win the war as formless beings and now there are six Shades, two of which are already introduced to us. Also they are quickly losing sentience and need bodies to maintain their sense of self.
3. Someone said earlier that "six is an odd number, so maybe there are actually seven and MoM is the Seventh Darkness" which is personally too much of a jump to make over a thematically mismatched number, for all we know the Shades have 111 units in them and then that would be a thematic tie. Or it could just be a number without much weight behind it for once. While that might be a bit out of character for the series, I wouldn't say that it is unlikely.
4. Scala could have been populated by the refugees from Data Daybreak, but I won't go too far down that logic simply because I want to focus on other things.
I really enjoyed this update. Seeing as the team that upkeeps the game and does the animations are so small I'm happy with getting the level of detail we are getting in things like the consoles correctly displaying things that happened to the pods and such. I also feel kind of bad for them because it's probably more trouble to animate the big scenes than it seems. Actually as someone who has some knowledge and experience with game making; even with pre-baked assets in 2d it's pretty frustrating to make cutscenes the exact way you want them.

...Now that you say it, probably.
So, Brain already has some kind of plan and decides to leave behind his KB, apparently just for the sake of it. Yea sure Nomura, as if I'm going to buy it.. a KB that we know ended up in the real world, plus the "4 friends and a key" sentence.

So how does Sterlitiza end up in the Real Daybreak Town? There are 5 pods in the Data Daybreak Town (one destroyed during fight between Maleficent and Lauriam, and another used by Maleficent.) I think there must be another way to get to the real world that is not shown to us, and the pods in the Data Daybreak Town shouldn't be as prized as we think they are.
Yes? In the last update, we saw Luxu put her into a pod saying she was the true Dandelion, where she ended up is currently unknown, even Luxu wasn't sure about it because the book doesn't mention anything about it.
About the alternative traveling method, maybe it's just the classic dark corridors and Luxu uses them. I mean, there has to be a reason for him to wear the black cloak, the other foretellers don't

But wouldn't Maleficent had used one in that case?
Also, I think we should be calling her Data-Strelitzia
I still think Xehanort's and Eraqus' friends will end up in Quadratum.Spoiler Show
My comment was not an in-universe explanation so much as a narrative explaination of Strelitzia. We all assumed she was fridged for Lauriam's character development but turns out that she had a much grander purpose than we anticipated.
This is laying the foundation for the final update such as setting up the time travel, revealing Darkness' limitations and the revelation of who the white robed character was in the previous update (unless that too is a red herring).
Yes? If you look at the scene in the real world there are 5 pods out of 7, one went to Maleficent and the other for Data-Strelizia. In the data world, still 5 out of 7 but because one got destroyed, the other was used by Maleficent: from data you go to real world, from real world you go to the future
We also learned that Luxu can do whatever he wants to, his restrictions aren't absolute at all. He just has to make sure to not interfere with whatever is mentioned to happen in the book I guess
The main question is more if Luxu is just interpreting it the way he wants in order to justify interfering at all. The MoM always firmly states he's only to watch and not interfere whenever they interact and Luxu is also supposed to not know what the book actually holds so he wouldn't know which events he's supposed to not interfere with.
Therefore he either has read the book or parts of it despite being ordered not to or he simply interferes of his own volition without caring about the book.
In the conversation with the Darkness entity it is also portrayed as if Luxu doesn't even know or understand the MoMs plan and just goes along, yet also bases several of his actions (or inactions) around his own guesswork of what the MoMs intentions might be, which interestingly is exactly what Ava accused him of when they clashed right before the Keyblade War in the original X[chi].

Greatest update ever. Loved seeing Luxu walk around with the swagger of an ancient Keyblade Master. Seeing him twirl No Name like that made me literally freak out. I can't wait to see what his battle style is like.
Yeah, if anything that was probably my favourite cutscene with him. Usually we don't see much personality from hooded characters because they are written as mysterious as possible, but in that scene we can see Luxu's personality coming to the surface.

omfg the only and main thought I have right now is WHO THE FUCK IS ELRENA AND WHY IS SHE LIKE INSECURE???? The BEST thing about Larxene that made her a great villain was her sass, but I don't see even a hint of the trait of personality in Elrena. I REAAALLY HOPE they do her chronology right or develop this correctly, cuz Larxene and Elrena seems completely opposite and different characters for now.
Really liked the Darkness and Luxu scene, tho. I'm starting to see hints of his Xigbar future self

Uhh, yeah. That's the point. People are changed by their experiences, and Larxene is no different. You'll notice that Lauriam is pretty different from Marluxia as well, and Luxu drastically so from Xigbar.
