"personally molar Ishmael's outfit is nothing special" gave me flashbacks lmao

SHRIMPLY FANTASTIC. 9TH PLACE IN THE DRIP CONTEST. WE STAY WINNING

26:40 Project Moon proceeds to beat ESGOO even before the video gets made

Rodion being last place is a crime.

I am aware of some audio issues during the favorite ID section, I'm really sorry, I tried to iron them out best I could, but I was on a time crunch for this video in particular. I didn't even notice it until I had edited the section entirely, otherwise I would have re-recorded. Anyways, teachers should get a better salary.

Hot take: canto 1 and 2 aren't meant to be judged by themselves, but as part of a package with canto 3. All three of the cantos are short, and both cantos since then have had 3 parts to them. Rodion's canto has so much comedic relief and gregor's is so depressing because both of them were supposed to be part of the same reading experience, along with sinclair finally being our first pseudo-win being a good ending note for hope in the future. People mock baba yaga for being a bad "final boss," but honestly I think golden apple is even worse in that regard. But neither of them were supposed to be "final bosses" anyways. Both of them were just there to prepare us for kromer. I kinda hate how many people dunk on canto 2 (and apparently, canto 1?) because it's not good or dark enough compared to the others. It exists for a purpose and does it well, it doesn't sacrifice anything because it wasn't meant to be a true chapter for rodion anyways. Rodion, Sinclair and Gregor are all going to be fixed emotionally over time later, they just needed to have their seeds planted first since we can't just start the game with a fourth of the cast reaching enlightenment.

i need whoever the 2 other Zwei Rodya fans are to announce themselves. we shall take our loss with pride.

audibly choked seeing meursault's place 😭 aug...... it hurts... so much...

As a Yi Sang fan, I am VERY happy to see from this poll how much the fandom loves him. Him having the #2 and #3 drippiest ID was a delight to see! (I voted Spicebrush)

I'd recommend letting people vote in a way that lets them rank their favorites/least favorites from long lists. Rodion might not be as many people's favorite character, but she could very well be a surprising number of people's third favorite. This can happen with characters that are widely likable but don't have something that deeply resonates with someone as often.

Don being 1st place feels both disturbing yet right at the same time

Mirror Dungeon Hard doesn't give more Battle Pass XP on subsequent runs but I believe it does still give more Starlight, that's why people would do more than one a week.

for me, little sister don being my favorite has little to do with the fact that she's the first attempt at sin synergy. The mechanic is fine, it works as a trigger, but its more about how she's one of the only units in the game that revolves around *taking hits* and actually being able to do it. Her counter is hype as fuck and pulling it off is satisfying, but using it often requires you to build a team thats able to sustain her while fulfilling the conditions for her to get the counter of consistently in the first place. And since the number 1 way to get big heals without relying on luck is ego resources, it makes resource management much more important. Basically, it adds several layers of thought to the game beyond just "hit enemy with big clash number" or "apply more status before status run out" and I think its a pretty cool step forward from the average gameplay.

RODION NO BABYGIRL WHYS SHE SO UNDERRATED

You gotta do one of this every mid-season from now on. To compare results, if recency bias in Magic Bullet Outis still prevails, and if Heatcliff can overtake Ishmael's place and so on.

I was someone who started PM from Lobotomy (in the period when they got scammed by the eng translators). The only place to discuss the game was /v/ and I mildly understand the frustation of that last response. When the majority of suggestions now has to filter out shitposts/memes (not that I'm innocent of the occassional gag) to have a genuine discussion. I do think there has to be a place to talk constructively/theorycraft. Lobotomy had so much mystery that left speculation about the world. But few people now theorycraft about it as much. I was also mildy disappointed to hear PM is solely focused on Limbus and isn't currently working on another game. I'm not defending their bad attitude but I understand where its coming from.

Yo new esgoo content babe wake up

ZWEIGOR IN 13TH ZWEIGORBROS WE WERE SO CLOSE TO GREATNESS

What can I say, they knew EXACTLY the right ways to fanservice, for both Don fans and long-time fans of the series with Magic Bullet

WE STAY STRONG DIM SHREDDER YI SANG FANS 🎉

LIMBUS COMPANIIIII!!!!

71 people voting Mariachi for best drip, stand proud

Numbers! How fun! (Unironically) Hopefully this becomes a recurring thing at the end of every season.

• Honestly really surprised that Queecliff didn't get as high as it did. Obviously Der Frey Outis would take first, but I feel like when Queecliff was released everybody was hyped over +3 coin power and +99% damage and more envy synergy and the first mention of Cathy in the story of Limbus. I really thought it would beat Cinqclair at least, since Cinqclair's got Nclair to compete with and his poise isn't really consistent, and P(irate)regor as well, since he was the first season 3 id to be released and is a little stale now. Just hoping that Capshmael lives up to the hype now!!

8:11 "Spicebush shouldn't be this high, his animations are good... but his drip is uh... pollon" Uh, nononono, his drip is overgrown nature, flower-y, and the contrast of his plain, dreary attire with the branches of bright yellow flowers growing out of him is gorgeous, creepily-cool, and SO aesthetic. ...I'm also just a sucker for nature-y themed characters in general. It probably wasn't intended to consider the illustrations as well, but I just gotta mention when you first pull spicebush yisang from the gacha, that opening animation of the paper screen door sliding open and he flips close his fan... *chef's kiss *

Don has been my favorite since before the game dropped she's just so silly, also helps I read Don Quixote years ago so I understand all the references.

HOLY RECENCY BIAS

Feeling called out for picking Pride as my favorite Sin Affinity... But you're 100% right, LOL. I do hope you do more of these in the future, these kinds of things are always surprisingly fun.

Watching the favorite canto part is heartbreaking for me. The buildup to the end of canto 4 and the themes it explored were way better in my opinion. Maybe it's because I'm familiar with the "source material" being an native english speaker that has read more than 1 version of the story while canto 4 had me on the edge and activated my neurons at every twist.

Tremor is the only thing in mirror dungeon that can stack 30+ defense level down alongside couple of fragile. I love tremor! I live for tremor!

Some interesting results overall. On the Intervallo thing, personally I like Hell's Chicken more than SEA more because I just consider SEA just straight part of Canto V while Hell's Chicken is it's own little side adventure. It's a lower stakes character piece that I feel added some good flavor to a lot of the Sinners in terms of their personalities shown.

for the next poll i propose a question for favorite songs, one for the Mili songs and one for the in game BGM. i think there would be some interesting results from that.

Thanks for making this poll, love you and love limbus

What?!? Canto 3 was my favorite and is what got me hooked into the game, I mean 4 has the guy jump into the acid but 3 felt like it showed the true concept of limbus company

Thank you for this, this was actually a really cool way to engage the community, and I'd love to see a return of the census every now and then to just get a gauge on where we're all at.

Huge props for making this. Your dedication is truly incredible, and I hope you keep it up. As always, quality content.

Just finished the video, I voted my favorite as canto 4 because although 5 was better written I connected way more with Donrang and loved Samjo. Seeing Yi Sang and Donrang fight in the end hit me in a way nothing else has in limbus yet. It just felt like when Yi Sang Flew I was there watching him fly idk how else to explain it other than magical.

Thanks for the hard work! I'd love to check out the other funny answers to the last question written by people if possible.

I very much enjoyed finding out that our tastes are very similar except canto 4 is the best one and fly my wings could hold me and make me feel something any day.

Just came back to Limbus not too long ago and also found your channel. Your channel is pretty fun and entertaining not gonna lie! Something I would have loved to see is whether people have read the books the PM characters are based off of

Really cool data man, I've been loving this channel and your content makes limbus way more fun to digest. Can't wait to see what you have next. Also I'd like to recommend an outro for you: "The next Esgoo video starts... N-"

I could imagine there was a drop in new players between July and the release of Canto V for uh. Reasons. (I personally started in May-ish bc one of my twitter friends was Gregorposting and the hot bug man got me by the neck.) The rosespanner vibrator comment made me choke omfg. Beautiful, whoever left that comment. This is also the first video of yours I've seen; it was on my recommended tab and I love me some pie charts. I am now subscribed!!

Sorry guys, ESGOO swindled me and forced me to youtube donate. I truly hope this heartless bastard stops swindiling us kids (I am 22) of our Limbux. Also, thanks for the pizza. I licked the screen just to make sure i got my share.

One of the people who does more than 3 MD *Hard* runs a week, two reasons - 1. it gives more starlight, since starlight gain is based on nodes completed, but, more importantly 2. it's actually fun. Normal is so braindead easy that I actually actively dislike it, haven't done a single one since Week 2 or 3. I can't put myself in the mindset of just hit winrate, never could get into gachas - but doing Hard runs with wacky, sometimes underpowered teams can be very rewarding. And you actually get extra starlight for it!

1:20, 4th entry, I GOT INTO AN ESGOO VIDEO! Seriously though this was a really fun activity, more census' would be great. For some thoughts on the results, Rodion being last place is really surprising to me, but after seeing some others perspectives, I can *kinda* see it. Her development in her Canto is really weak, but I do really like her personality, she's a fun character that I hope gets better stuff in the future. As for the "favorite Pmoon game" choice, I didn't realize Ruina swept that hard. It makes sense, I just had real big issues with its difficulty later in the game that kept me from fully enjoying it, but the story is indeed peak, we all worship Roland

Nice to finally see the results.

Ahh yes another upload, time to binge

The pizza was delicious thanks And the reason why ryoshu red eyes ego is so high is because its one of the cleanest katana unsheathe slashes I have ever seen, on par with vergils judgement cut imo

Yey, new ESGOO video. Lovely.

Very interesting to see these results! I wasn’t expecting Don to be number 1 sinner but I’m so happy, she deserves it. Thank you for the effort you put into this! (Also, lmao at the seething 4channer. Definitely one of the people who got mad at Molar Ishmael)

THANK YOU FOR GIVING YA SUNYATA TAD RUPAM THE APPRECIATION HE DESERVES

The results are in, that’s so cool! The results are in!

You truly are the best LC content creator.

I really like using Tremor Teams ever since I snagged Regret Faust from the Shop (I wasnt lucky getting her during Walpurgis Night 1) The only gripe I have with Tremor is that there are no IDs that have Dodge as their Defense moves, which would make it better with me running MD3H than only getting 5-4 Tremors just to bring at least 2 Dodge IDs for every run

Cant wait to watch this

Very enjoyable to watch the Stats unfold and finding where I belonged in the mess, Yessss

Honestly, I feel bad for Gregor and Rodion. They really did have the worse canto's which can be for so many reasons but I think the big 3 are: 1. PM were trying to juggle some amount of charecterisation for the whole gang while later cantos could focus on the actual sinner. 2. The gameplay for later cantos tends to be better, along with the better designed ID that came with them probably causing a bias, cause put it this way, G-corp gregor is essentially the equivelent kind of ID to SPICEBUSH, Nclair (& and Nfaust) and Captain ishmael (not out but if you seen the Limbus community reaction to its announcement... yeah)... with Rodion not even GETTING a yurodivine ID or any other kind of ID. 3. Narratively the cantos were pretty naff, canto 4 and 5 straight up have amazing charecter arcs for Yi Sang and Ishmael, even Sinclairs was pretty good. While Gregors and Rodions came off more as an "introduction" to their charecters/issues, with gregor espically feeling like he didnt change whatsoever during the canto, we learned about his past as a invoulntary war hero who considered a "disgrace" to his ex-comrades, suffering from being the losing side in a war. But we never actually see Gregor change (with the MOST being a tad trauma from the "yuri incident"). I cant help but feel that PJ changed their idea for the charecters/canto mid course from the first canto introducing them, to actually having a charecter stories/drama which was (as we see from how loved both canto 4 and 5 were) the best choice but leave canto 1 and 2 in the dust. I kind of hope they go back and add a bit, the reality is not much funding would be behind it, it would be nice for maybe a bit more dialouge, charecter, even small mechanics like ishmaels "buff" during canto 5. I genuinely think it would be a nice touch if say, gregor had his own version and was required for the apple fight and make it so hes the only one who can do the "skill check" to put more leaning on "failing" said "skill check." (If you played canto 1 you know the skill check im talking about).

Very fun video thank you esgoo

I'm not entirely surprised by Rodion being last. I actually rank her Canto in last place in terms of my favorite Cantos. Gregor's is second, and you know the rest. Her story just felt, meh and even a bit like it didn't matter. Gregor I hope gets a continuation. Considering his mother is shaping up to be Argalia Ensemble leader 2.0, and the fact that his Canto was the only one to end with a somber, unresolved feeling (Only end credits where target sinner of Canto isnt smiling) Gregor will DEFINITELY get more content for him in the future.

27:37 Sadly for the chilean guy, there are two people from the chilean community who like your channel, and I´m the second one, saludos desde Chile Esgoo (greetings from Chile Esgoo)

red sheet sinclair only getting 11 votes is criminal i love his staff. he may be crazy but the drip is too 😪💔💔

I usually do 1-2 hard mirror dungeons a week but since that wasn't an option I voted 2-3. Only reason I do multiple is because even if you ended a run prematurely on the 4th floor you still get more starlight, and the enemy buffs only become an issue on the 5th floor

Oh... Yi Sang so peak... Oh... Everyone gets it... Oh...

7 association is my favourite so of course gluttony is my favourite sin affinity. I'm kind of surprised it's so low despite rupture being the third ranked status team to run. I feel like lust gloom and wrath are kind of missing an identity relative to the support and synergy the other 3 have and I expected them to be lower, though sloth being last makes sense to me. It's kind of just dieci and yi sang.

Let's goooo Esgooooo!

Pizzaaaaaaa! Anyways. Rodya (and a lot of Rodya peripheries (Pursuance, Rime Shank, Rosespanner, hell, even What Is Cast), at least for me, are generally something like runner's-ups. I like her character a lot (and though the book was interesting but dear god, keeping track of the names), but I like some other things (Rish, Sunshower Outis, etc), just a bit more, such that I didn't really get an opportunity to vote for her. I'd be curious to see how she (or other lowly ranked options) would have done if we could have picked more than one option.

ESGOO, you are becoming the limbus hub, you're awesome

My day is as awkward as the end of the video, thanks for asking 💜

thank you for your work as always Lord Esgoo, a lot of interesting data and the biggest surprise for me was...Don being first place. Maybe its just because I am on the sinclair side of LimTwitter, but I definitely didn't expect a sinner that doesn't even have a canto yet to come out on top. However, I do wanna say that I was part of the victory of SODA HONGLU WOOOOOO WE MADE IT BOIS

8:42 Nooo I hesitated between Rosespanner greg and magic bullet outis but ended up being blinded by Outis' flashy bang bang nooo my poor overworked chainsawman :(

Adding in a "favorite Mili song" in the next census would be fun

I started at the end of November and had been completely overtaken by the brainrot, currently at Canto 4. While I don't have what it takes to play Lobotomy Corporation (mentally, physically, and hardware that won't die) I currently have went since last month to play and enjoy Ruina, something I don't think I would have without Limbus. I look forward to Hong Lu and Don Canto, the story is above all what I wanna see more of this game. The mystery with Dante, the boughts and Vergilius! I'm really gripped.

I picked Blind Obsession Ishmael for the drip simply because it’s so epic, in the awakening her commanding her men to go forth and fight hard while her corrosion panics, shouting at her men to jump from the deck and into the sea so she can swallow them up. And what little laugh Ish gives you before the screen is even done cracking. I hope this pre-corrosion line or whatnot is done with more high level egos cuz it’s so cool how they go insane before even going over the tipping point. I will agree Greg’s corrosions are always spicy and we need more.

Glad to see Chain of Others Meursault got a decent amount of votes on EGO drip, it's fairly simple but man does it look killer I honestly only consider doing more than 7 MD3N runs a week to be more hardcore grinding. A single normal MD run a day is pretty easy to mindlessly do as you do other stuff, and along with the battle pass it nets you enough resources to just circumvent the gacha aspect entirely I also actually like the whole starlight rest bonus, it forced me to set up a bunch of different teams that each hit one of the different status effects and end up making me have far more variety with my runs and the IDs I used rather than just using the same team every single time like I did with MD2

That's a lot of opinions, it is fun seeing people have different views on stuff, I find it interesting

That one Base Sinclair enjoyer is a true Chad.

It might be too much to ask,but i would like to see a new census at the end of each season, i think it would be interesting to see how the results will change as new cantos come out.

I am the sole manager to vote Don for best drip/animations. I feel truly blessed by this revelation. Thank you Esgoo for stroking my E.G.O. May Sir Ayin bless you. Yes, I did vote base Don for everything. She is perfect.

I blame project moon for hong lu being so low. They’ve barely given us any contennnttt!!! He probably has the least amount of lines out of all the sinners, which is a damn shame to me, he can’t just keep relying on his golden retriever personality! There’s so much more to him.

I imagine hells chicken is so high because it made Yi Sang and Meursault actual characters

i think the favorite sinner ranking would be alot closer to community consensus if there's a way to do ranked voting. i for one love rodya, and i adore don and ryoshu almost equally, but picked ryoshu out of love for Hellscreen. if i could give a ranked vote rodya would be my easy pick for #3. and im sure many others have similar difficulty picking a definitive favorite

I'm so curious how the "favorite character" census will change once every sinner has gone through their canto.

Allowing for multiple favorite Sinner votes next time is good, but please also include a "can't decide" option. May also want to exclude season pass purchase from the "how much have you spent" question since that'd be more interesting data (at least to me). Also, I like tremor...

Might be fun to do other one when Canto 6 dropped

It was interesting to see the results compared to my own answers, and damn I was happy with the Liu Ishmael 5th place. Love me funny punch lady.

With the new bamboo hatted kimsault id, I think top 10 ids would be much different now

Army in black is my favorite about, but flame gun men is up there Edit: Still on a challenge run for Lob, I will finish it relatively soon. Probably before I catch up in Limbus lol. I am still in Canto 1

Im not surprised honestly for most of the responses maybe except for what games people have played before limbus? Most people who ive talked to about PM have said they have never played lobo corp but LoR which is pretty interesting.

Die Pizza Betrayal arc... Esgoo I trusted you!

DON QUIXOTE SWEEP DON QUIXOTE SWEEP

wait queen of hatred is number one most popular abnormality?? i'm very happy to hear that, i only ever hear people saying they hate her so this is great news

I'd be interested in 'favorite announcer' next time.

damn, didnt realize base sinclair would be that unpopular, i thought he'd be more popular since i remember he would carry through that first iteration of mirror dungeon when f2p had little to no resources

I just like how much character development dante has i feel like he is a well written character

Woooooooo esgoo video

Hey ESGOO! So, I think for the money question, you should ask how much US dollars they spent, since the prices aren’t localised in the game, but is in the actual spending part.

I'm one of those people who do multiple MD3H a week and the reason why is simple: It's just a more fun version of MD3N. Yeah it takes longer cause of the extra floor, but honestly, once you get most of the starlight buffs, you might as well switch to doing MD3H instead of normal since it's more rewarding (the 1.5x starlight multiplier is massive for starlight farming) and also it just gives a reason to actually boot up limbus for more than like 10-20 minutes once a day just to do the dailies.

I'd be interest in seeing one of these types of serveys per season (after the story wraps up) probably? if not every other season~?

You are completely right, Pride is my favourite affinity because I like the colour blue.

for the MD hard question I answered 2-3 a week mostly because it was vastly more efficient on starlight gain and I'd cycle teams for even more efficient starlight only 2 of those teams being MD hard viable and I did about 8 mirror dungeon runs a week
