What’s the things that can killed me?
Stab? ❌
Falling from a high place? ❌
Old age? ❌
Cancer? ❌
Alpha’s smiling happily ✅

"SKK, do not be yowai and osoi. Be tsuyoi and hayai."

-Alpha, instructing the SKK on how to be the Omega to her Alpha.

[iceshepherd]

Started playing this game to see Vergil’s daughter. Stayed because Alpha is best girl and this story is amazing.

[narukamishirou]

Love the fact that Alpha is just that character who's emo, lone wolf type, neutral (kinda), one woman army whose work is mostly wander around travelling places, enjoying what she can get in the ruins, and basically just a girl with normal hobbies. She loves her bike and her kitty

[Nyangorou]

Kuro you can't just be dropping bangers outta nowhere like this

[pzxhmkg]

It was a powerful and soulful song! PGR has a lot of great songs, so I hope we can hear Alpha's singing voice in Japan as well.

[BlackwindZarya]

I haven't even played this.
*The music amazes me already.*

(Log 12: Hello again, everyone! I've been a little inactive with this, due to life and that. Anyhow! A Free S-Rank Selector is coming May for the Nanamech patch. You all know what that means! Alpha! :D Also, I'm level 64 now! | 09/04/2023)

(Log 25: It's been a month. I've spent my BC on Haicma, and tried to get her weapon. I also completed chapters 14-18! To add on, I'm at level 75 with a Swordwave/Bladewill built Alpha. Haicma is running well. Liv (Eclipse) is S-Rank, Lucia (Dawn) is S-Rank, so is Lotus. Liv (Eclipse) or Nanami (Storm) is almost SS-Rank! Remember, fellow shikikans. Stay motivated, and pursue your paths, no matter the costs! | 24/07/2023)

(Log 39: I'll actually have enough for Alpha / Crimson Weave! I need to grind 3 weeks in her event, but that's easier said and done! | 26/01/2024)
(Log 40: SSS Eclipse! FINALLY! | 27/01/2024)

[reikishinami]

Few seconds in and I can already tell dat tis gonna be a classic

[rvpairofdicethewanderer]

Thank you for giving us this, Kuro.

It's stunning.

Hopefully we'll see reality-cutting beauty that is Alpha again one day in the Story.

[Astro]

Foolishness Kuro; there is no error when receiving Alpha’s data

[StarlineInfinity]

My next pull target : Alpha, YOU ARE COMING WITH US

[victorsimmons]

I like that Alpha's horn-like Inver-Device also functions as a pair of headphones

[HYPERRAL]

I love how Alpha's aesthetic is more "retro" compared to pretty much everyone else in pgr.

Alpha likes old motorcycles, soda(whatever shes drinking here), abandoned Golden Age buildings, god she even listens to music on a music player. Amidst the super modern look of the game her appearance is fundamentally older than most other constructs.
Her jacket and scarf are super worn down, she has quite a lot of skin exposed, and with so few mechanical looking parts that if you didn't know any better, you'd probably think shes simply using prosthetic arms and nothing else(Sam Rodrigues much?)
Even the song and the mv have a classical rock feel instead of the trance edm genre of most pgr ost.

[axios]

I really hope, one day, Alpha and Luna can find it in their hearths to give humanity a chance and reconcile with Lucia.

[ConstructTaru]

Now we're talking!!! Those are some peak vocals!! <3 <3 <3

[ConstructTaru]

[Lyrics]

Underneath I look,
for reflection in your eyes,
who am I inside?

Hatred lingering,
It will not unravel me,
bring me to my knees.

How am I still so cold?~

I feel numb,
broken and undone,
Holding onto memories,
like flying leaves.

In between,
living and the dead,
flip a switch and do not feel,
is it even real?
do you see,
who I used to be!

So far from me,
like a distant memory,
Was it all a dream?

Hold your hands in mine,
and destroy whoever tries,
to come in between.

I feel numb,
broken and undone,
floating up like memories,
above the trees.

In between,
living and the dead,
flip a switch I do not feel,
am I even real?

ohhhhoooo, ohoohhoooo]

I will fight!
Shadows in the night,
Stronger than each one of them,
I'm born again,
With a spark,
slashing through the dark,
Not afraid of who I am,
Just hold my hand..

I will fight!
Shadows at night,
Holding on to.. memories,
With a spark,
cutting through the dark,
Not afraid of who I am,
now I understand!
Do you see?
WHO I USED TO BE!!

[nencrows_]

Alpha once again gains a awesome song. Arguably the best character so if any character was gonna get this treatment better her than most others.

[Nariyuko]

Best song for best girl. Both have went through alot, and changed alot. People may shine bright... But no one shines brighter than Lucia. Looking forward to what her plans are next, and as always... Yowai. (this song goes hard btw, cant just keep dropping bangers out of nowhere, Kuro. smh)

[sNazzkun]

Very cool track, kudos to the composer, producer and vocalist 🛐

[CommandoFrost]
