The update closes the Two-Phase Paradise arc that has run since Version 4.0. In an interview tied to the release, chief designer Chengnan An said making an Aeon playable was not planned from the start; the team settled on Aha of Elation because that Aeon is the closest to humanity, and because Aha's backstory involves being human, becoming a god, and returning to human form. An said Aha is not an omnipotent god and is not overwhelmingly stronger than other playable characters. The update also introduces the Fated Star Soul system, which adds new animations, dedicated illustrations, and new skill mechanics to Jing Yuan, Acheron, and Dan Heng • Imbibitor Lunae. Players who log in during Version 4.7 can pick one of three limited 5-star characters: Acheron, Dan Heng • Imbibitor Lunae, or Jing Yuan.","whyItMatters":"An framed the choice of Aha as a test of the game's stated policy of telling human stories, and said future playable Aeons will follow the story rather than a release schedule.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eThe Version 4.7 event warp \u0026#34;The Great Show That Deceives the Stars\u0026#34; runs until December 22, 2026, and raises the rate for Aeon★Aha (Elation, Quantum).
