To comment on the returning characters: Sarkaz, like Laevatain and Warfarin, generally have long lifespans. Warfarin especially is a vampire, and vampires can live for over thousands of years in Arknights lore. Laevatain has that Feranmut in her sword which could explain her longevity. Gilberta and Snowshine are likely descendants/incarnations of Angelina and Aurora respectively. As far as I know, the writers retconned the clone stuff, and the timeskip from Arknights to Arknights Endfield went from 500 to 1000 years. Overall, most of the characters we love and know are long dead, so… no more Amiya. ;-;
On the RI operators being around I have some thoughts from reading their bios: Laevatain in mythology is the name of Surtr's sword. I believe this is OG Surtr since she could certainly still be alive, and I think the name change signifies her and her demon sword finally making peace. The demon sword was mostly pissed off to be wielded by some no-name sarkaz girl instead of a great warrior, but I think she's "just Surtr'd it" enough times to satisfy him by now. Gilberta is almost certainly Angelina's descendent just going off the new bio. It's mentioned that Warfarin is often surprised by how Gilberta acts and that it gives her a sense of nostalgia. If it were actually Angelina I don't see why Warfarin would be surprised, and getting nostalgia just means she is reminding Warfarin of the Angelina she used to know. I'm hoping that they revised her backstory, because "it's just a clone" has got to be one of the least fulfilling and laziest explanations imaginable. Snowshine I'm going to go with descendent as well. Just my gut feeling. I really hope they stay away from creepy cloning shenanigans or starting to handwave this stuff as just more clones like this was the Marvelverse. There's only one character I think would be fitting to be an actual clone.
Sarkaz are known to be long-lived, being able to live up to a thousand years. Warfarin is 200 by the time we meet her in Arknights, and Endfield *supposedly* takes place around 500 years in the future, although that detail may potentially be retconned. Lævateinn is most likely the same character as Surtr from Arknights. However, Snowshine and Gilberta are more difficult to explain. The last beta test explained that Gilberta (then still called Angelina) was a “clone” of sorts of the original Angelina, but like the 500 year detail, I think this detail was also removed, but I’m not sure if I am remembering correctly so please do correct me if I’m wrong. But if the Angelina clone lore detail hasn’t been changed, then I think the same thing happened with Aurora. As for why Angelina and Aurora specifically got clones, it’s because both characters are actually very important when it came to the exploration of the Sami Icefield, the place where the portal to Talos-II is eventually discovered, so it’s likely that Aurora’s and Angelina’s achievements were recognized and they were deemed as invaluable assets for the exploration of Talos-II
Warfarin and Surtr are Sarkaz aka demon race. They live longer then usual people but these two are special since one is a vampire while another is possessed by a god fragment.
I can't wait to finally get my hands on this game, never felt this excited for a gacha game before. Even OG Arknights didn't piqued my interest this bad after I watched their Concept PV trailers.
Good for everyone else who'll enjoy this, but this is so much *not* what I wanted from an Arknights sequel I can't help but be disappointed. It's kind of incredible to me that we live in a world where the sequel to Girls Frontline feels more like Arknights than the Arknights sequel.
Man reading the gcores interview in the endfield reddit made me very confident that the game will be in good hands
Trueeee
11:32 makes me realised, usually these type of games start at you being a stranger, but no were literally the head company
Classic Arknights role
Amnesiac head of a company

angelina's genes is damn strong
Man Rhodes Island existing for 1000years (and some brands like Raythean), arguably longer life than some of the old Arknights nations
HOLY SHIT THE GRASS IS GREEN
The Forested area, is really good because of how the lighting engine they use makes it look so good.
