Should You Pull for Frieren and Himmel?
Yes, because like in season 1 of the anime, Frieren and Himmel were a perfect team together, Frieren as an S-Level Dimensional Mage, players must pull for her as she is expected to be a very good character with high-damage output. As for A-Level Warrior Himmel, players should also pull for him as he is included in the collab and serves as a collectible and compatible support for Frieren just like in the anime.
What are the reactions of AFK Journey Players:
According to fans from reddit, this is the perfect collab for AFK Journey as they both have the same vibe, some were shocked when AFK Journey released the trailer for the collab, another says that they were saving up just for the upcoming collaboration event since January of this year but will it be enough? Who knows, others are in awe because of the art style of both Frieren and Himmel, and some just can’t believe thatAFK Journey x Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End collaboration is happening and it will happen, we just have to wait as it shall arrive on May 1 this year.
What to Expect in the Collaboration:
As for the questline, well, according to the trailer, Frieren, Himmel, and the Magistrate are on an adventure. Frieren and Himmel are searching for magic books just like in the anime, so, ones again, we will get to enjoy an adventure of them. While some players are expecting Fern as companion of Frieren, let’s just say that according to the anime, Frieren regrets the decisions to the opportunities given while Himmel was still alive so in this collab, for us players, we get to experience them having an adventure once more. As for the rewards, well, we all know how generous AFK Journey is so we should expect rewards. Will it be enough to get Himmel and Frieren?
Is this Event Better than the Previous ones?
Let’s just say that not everyone agrees, some say that this event might just be the best one and some say that they would love Fern (a character from the anime) to be included in this upcoming collab, on youtube too, they are saying that this is the best collab and some people came back to the game just for this collab. Right now, people are not comparing this collab to the previous ones, are the fanbase of AFK Journey giving the fairness treatment to this game? Maybe, but we all agree that this collab and the anime Frieren both season 1 and season 2 which is the collab right now is just so good. There’s this one comment saying “Whoaaa Frieren and Himmel as a couple here!!!! No third wheel Fern?” I don’t know what’s funny to you, but this one is. So, as we can see, AFK Journey fans and players love this collab so much. While, there are people who loves this collab, there are also some that are looking back at theprevious collabs like Fairy Tail and Delicious in Dungeons, some say Delicious in Dungeon felt like the perfect comfy fit, but for AFK Journeys theme, some feel that Frieren is the first collab that matches the “Melancholic Fantasy” that this game offer.
