Let's Talk Games: Zenless Zone Zero

INTRODUCTION

Welcome to the world of Zenless Zone Zero! In this action-packed RPG game, contemporary civilization teeters on the brink of collapse due to a calamity known as the “Hollows”. These mysterious anomalies appear out of thin air, reating spatial distortions filled with formidable monsters called “Ethereals”. But fear not, interpid adventurer! Let’s delve into the heart of this urban fantasy and uncover its secrets.

Scholars whisper of ancient civilizations, long lost time, who harnessed the power of Ether – a lifeblood of creation. These forgoton architects built conduits to other dimensions, seeking knowledge, wealth, or perhaps salvation. But hubris led to catastrophe. The Hollows emerged, like hungry maws hungry for reality, devouring everything in their path.

Within the Hollow dwll the Ethereals-monstroud beings born from chaos. Their forms defy logic: spectral wolves, crystaline sepents, and shadowy wraiths. Each Ethereal guards a fragment of forgotten truth, a shard of cosic wisdom. To face them is to wield magic against the impossible. Ordinary folks should steer clear, but if you’re determined to explore, head to New Eridu-a city where good and bad intermingle.

ERIDU CITY

New Eridu pulses with life-a melting pot of powerful tycoons, street gangs, conspiracy theorists, and ruthless officials. Admist the chaos, you’ll find people who crave the Hollows’ treasures. But heed this advice: don’t venture in alond. Make preparations, forge alliances, and most importantly, seek out a “Proxy”. These guides possess the knowledge to navigate the maze-like Hollows.  Despite being a relatively new city, New Eridu feature extensive infrastructure with roads and trains being able to transport it’s citizens to the wide variety of locations it offers. The technology in the city appears to be a blend of both retro and futuristic technology, such as advanced computer systems running on arrays of CRT televisions for its display or music record players and VHS tapes being the medium of choice for entertainment for most residents despite the presence of data file storage devices. New Eridu appears to take many inspirations from real life cities in Asia such as Shanghai, Hong Kong and Tokyo.

She’s been on the streets for many years, and has a reputation among her peers as being exceedingly cunning. She’s been blacklisted by many clients due to her all-or nothing approach. She loves money, but is surprisingly bad at managing it, leaving the Cunning Hares constantly on the edge of bankruptcy and owing many debts.”

He’s an avid fan of the Starlight Knight show, not only referring to himself as one of the Starlight Knights, but repeating many classic lines from the show. Refers to his pair of special custom-made high-caliber revolvers as “ladies.” They appear to have been a gift from an old friend. He may look unreliable, but once he gets serious Billy can take on any challenge.”
