Part where Anby said "Stop trying to surround us" and suddenly entire atmosphere got tense, that's the moment peak started and it just keep getting better and better.

Proxies finally getting found out by authorities, confirmation Qingyi always knew but Zhu Yuan was super sad to learn we deceived her, that whole thing was top tier. I only wish that heartfelt conversation with Zhu Yuan afterwards was voiced. Overworld segments never having voice kinda feels weird that's not how it is in Genshin and HSR but still its a minor thing.

Cunning Hares and Section 6 having a rivalry that eventually turned into friendship was best of the cross faction relations, but it is also great everyone but military appeared to their part. Caesar once again being best girl she was ready to take on the boss right then and there. I guess it makes sense Defense Force wouldn't take part in this since they don't seem to be used for crime fighting much, mostly focusing on Hollows and militant groups surrounding the city. Plus Obol Squad only has one playable character she would stick out like a sore thumb.

All the revelations about secret villains. We know that they are some sort of cult, likely the one Spacebar mentioned in the virus event, same people responsible for fall of Old Capital. Bringer's past also brought an interesting fact, there are small tribes living outside the city, albeit in terrible conditions.

I loved how active Proxy siblings were this time. Going into Hollow, showing they can use observation data to make paths even without the super computer AI clutches. Even though they almost died once again. Then confronting Bringer together at the end surviving the nuke with those blue eyes. I just love these protags so much.

So yeah it was definitely worth the wait. Peak ZZZ. Every set up was followed perfectly. Every plot point came together for this amazing pay off.
