I really wanted 10,000 floors of NNI. I want to start on floor 9996.
I know it'll probably cost me like 100k points to start there but don't care. You'd get like 20k points per floor.
I could get enough points in a day to be capable of making every mythic.
actually, we could probably do that just by climbing all the way up to floor 10k

Floor 10,000 boss gives a Platinum astrarium that allows us to upgrade one piece of Nyame to Nyame +1 by combining it with that same piece from Thaumas, Phorcys and Nares.

I wonder how long it took the dev team to come up with all this
This is the most effort they have put into an update in years and if it's what the future looks like under Fujito, then the future is bright.

New types of creatures may be reared.
The new seasonal event “OOPS! All Seasonal Events!” will be held
These two would be great and should be implemented.

Wow I'm excited for these!

So, has anyone seen any sign of any of this in-game besides the shattered homepoints and racin' Raminel? I've taken a poke around to see how committed to the bit they were, and it's been a little disappointing.
I don't know if there's some kind of hard cap on how many jobs are available to add, but if there isn't, it would have been amazing to actually add Courier, with the caveat that it could only gain experience from courier quests (whoops, guess we forgot to implement any of those?)
Nobody made crawlers invisible, which was a disappointment. (Ooh, or just reskinned them into ghosts, or transparent white crawler models!) No sudden migration of behemoths. It would have been a bit of a twist of the knife to rename and reskin Matsui-P for the day but I would have accepted it for the gag.
Overall, points for creativity I guess, it's nice to see Fujito is bringing a sense of humor to his regime, but man they could have made this so much cooler with just a few more asset swaps and some flag abuse.
999,999,999 damage cap is just a vicious tease though
