Yeah, one might notice there's no critical comments about the BGMs. Whoever composes them does a really good job.

I feel for anyone who started off in an event with ship locking. That mechanic was a pain in the ass even for experienced admirals, so I could understand newer players would have to be even more cautious with their limited members. Whoever started with Spring 2014 (technically Arpeggio but that wasn't a true event) or Winter 2015 are pretty lucky, as both events ditched a shitty mechanic (regenerating health bars with Spring 2014, and shit lock for Winter 2015).

My problem with the difficulty lock is that its basically pointless, especially for those who cleared things on hard since they already received all the possible rewards. Rather than farming first and clearing later, it should be the other way around, but I digress. As the idiom goes: once bitten, twice shy. I fulfilled my personal challenge, so next time I'll take the complete opposite approach and wait several days, unless difficulty can be changed after clearing.

About the OP: I regret reading someone say the start sounds like 'WAAANNKERRRRRR!' >_> cannot unhear it anymore.
