I'm tired of repeating myself, so if you want a recap on why I'm so adamant about Epic Mimic this month, click on my account and see my post & reply history. I'm not gonna yap if I don't have something new to say. And today I do.
The thing about this promo that interest me the most is the Saturday "sneak peek". Something about that wording makes me feel like this is actually not a traditional trailer. What I mean is this won't be for something major in terms of size like a new island, but rather major in significance.
Let's think about this. Say they take the boring route and make it Epic Candelavera, and there reasoning for the delay is to make it occur in Feast-Ember. So then, why do they get a Saturday sneak peek? Yeah, it's the first ever Epic Quint, but that just doesn't feel worthy of a Saturday reveal.
Now let's imagine it's Epic Mimic. It might not be magnificent design wise, but that doesn't make it any less special. Epic Mimic coming next week will not only be the first Epic Quint, but also mark the grand finale of the Natural class. The class that started it all, the oldest and most influential class in the game, the class that walked so the Paironormals could run. I don't know about you, but I think closing the book on the Natural class after 13 years is HUGE.
Heck, while were honoring the Naturals, I wouldn't be surprised if they also put Mimic and its variants on Gold Island already. That would make things a little bit more worthy of a special video. One other fun thing I noticed (I have no idea if this was intentional, I just love it because I'm a nerd): Epic Mimic is presumably releasing 1.5 years after Common Mimic, the video is releasing on November 15th, the required level for sending a monster to Gold Island is 15, and while in-game it says Gold has 116 monsters, that's only because each Epic Wubbox phase counts as their own monsters. In actuality, Gold Island has 112 unique monsters, meaning once the Mimic's come, it'll be at 115.
And you know what I just now noticed? Gold Island literally released in November. Gold island gets its first and last monsters during the same month. Look, whatever happens whenever, I want the release of Epic Mimic to mark the next era of the Mimic. While it's classified at the Air Top Boss, it is, and will always been the modern day Natural Top Boss.
As I said at the beginning, I'm sick of repeating myself, so I'm thankful for this Saturday sneak peek so the arguments can finally be put to rest no matter who is right. I've probably written a whole novella's worth of content relating to Epic Mimic, and that's because I care. My theories are a love letter to this game. I love this game, and I want the best for it. And I feel much happier knowing this time around, many other people are agreeing with me.
I'm sorry, I can't help myself.
