Gnome de plume posted:I keep reading Tingyun as Tinygun Kiana is extremely lesbian, her flirtations with Mei are about as subtle as a brick to the face. Ditto with the relationship between Bronya and Seele, which is explicitly romantic and they share a kiss in the manga. Genshin and Star Rail are much more subtle in comparison.

Since Star Rail Welt is the same Welt as Honkai 3's Welt, they must be miserable without their dad around as he gallivants around the galaxy with some weirdos on a space train. They're gonna be so mad at him when he gets back to Earth. boredsatellite posted:the event being a taste of what you could do with silver wolf is funny Yeah I'm predicting Silver Wolf, Bronya, Seele and a Healer like Natasha would end up being a super broken combination.

I just noticed that Kafka's character model is a bit different when she's captured at the Luofu. Specifically, her eyes are different and her complexion is paler being able to see her without her makeup on or wearing contact lenses. That's really neat attention to detail, most games wouldn't have thought of that.

While I do hope that the core cast remains small, I also hope the cast of the old planets remain relevant and important to the story going forward too. Like not just filler content but like, Bronya and Seele and Natasha show up to save your rear end now that Jarilo-VI somehow managed to regain contact with the IPC and are getting relief, with their world rebuilding. Ditto with the Luofu once that content is finished. One of the things I am liking about HI3 is that characters remain revelant in some way, even when they get written out of the story they still cast a lasting shadow on the rest of the story that still affects the characters. It's why on some level I kinda appreciate that you're rolling for different forms and battle suits for the small cast of HI3 rather than brand new characters for the most part, with a few exceptions even if the gacha itself is infinitely more annoying than Genshin or Star Rail. I think I'll feel a little colder towards Star Rail if it instead goes in a similar direction to Genshin where characters pretty much don't really exist out of events and cameos and a few minor scenes once you're done with that region's story and moved onto the next one. I got oddly attached to the cast of Jarilo-Vi and started to get attached to the cast of the Luofu too. It'd suck if they're one and done things outside of sidequests and events.

Aliens do exist outside of the Luofu and Anti Matter Legion, since the arc of HI3 which details why Welt left Earth and is in space to begin with involved alien races. It is odd that Star Rail mostly seems to have humans though.

Eimi posted:I sincerely hope it doesn't happen, but if it does, Welt is playing the role Himeko did in HI3, and he already has a lot of guilt about her situation and how he feels he failed her. Also he's straight. So like flying every death flag you can in the Honkai universe. He died in HI3 and got better like, twice before. Maybe he can pull off a hat trick. Granted, he left his Herrscher core with Bronya so that might be significantly more difficult for him now.

Maybe the idea is that whole swathes of the galaxy have been cut off from each other and haven't been in contact for hundreds or thousands of years? I fully expect Earth to be one of the last locations you visit in the game, probably 6+ years from now. Might even tie in with APHO 3 or something.

Yeah I was under the impression it's the same universe as HI3, just different worlds. Otherwise the Express is really jumping around in the Sea of Quanta, from one branch to the next.

Now I'm wondering why the game is called Honkai Star Rail, if the Honkai have absolutely nothing to do with anything in the game and it's a completely different universe from HI3. Because Genshin Impact I'm fairly certain is also part of the multiverse and that isn't named after the Honkai. Is it literally just because they're reusing character designs and names from HI3, plus Welt and not-Otto returning from HI3?

Yeah Silver Wolf is definitely doing a lot in my team composition. Feel bad that I more or less have to move Tingyun to my B team now, even though she's still really good. She's just a little too squishy. Wonder if we'll ever get a playable Sirin in Star Rail?

Yeah Silver Wolf is really making things so much easier. Sorry Tingyun but being able to consistently break enemies is making battles go by faster than your powerful buffs. I think she'd only seem a tad disappointing if you already had Welt maybe? But I don't have him so it works.Meowywitch posted:by the way I don't think we have a honkai impact third thread but Sirin aka Kiana Kaslana K-423 is an epic character and I'd like to see her, or a take on her in this game Honestly love Sirin and her progression throughout 3rd, learning that her earlier ditzy personality was mostly her trying to make herself endearing to others since deep down she's a depressed lonely girl with a split personality that could wipe out humanity, who is self-sacrificial to a fault being raised as a Kaslana and needed to painfully learn that her life matters to her friends too. I'd actually love to discuss 3rd more but yeah, this is the only Honkai related thread on the forums as far as I can tell.

I mean we know from the Alien Space manga for Honkai Impact 3 that this other friend was Void Archives. Which is partly why Luocha is so suspicious though from the leaks, he's another Silver Wolf in that he has absolutely nothing to do with Void Archives or Otto Apocalypse at all from what I understand?

Clarste posted:I haven't played Honkai Impact, but my impression of the writing in both Genshin and Star Rail is that it's extremely "safe." Like, they have the bare minimum of characters and plot and whatnot, but fall short of actually having anything to say, a theme or a message they want to convey. Instead, the plots are just excuses to have a bunch of characters to sell you. For example the ending of the Bellabog arc where they had the chance to have even the barest minimum baby's first theme, but blew it at the last second to preserve the status quo. Genshin Impact and Star Rail do feel like they've had their edges sanded down, yeah. But apparently the Trails series was a big inspiration for Star Rail and that series has the exact same problems of having villains who aren't really villainous and if they were then they're just being controlled by an external abstract force so I'm not surprised. It's funny because from everything I've read about Guns Girl Z (or Honkai Impact 2), that game was far too edgy to the point of being gross, Honkai Impact 3rd is about the right amount of edge, without feeling nihilistic and mean spirited, while Genshin Impact is a lot more light hearted twee and Star Rail is this weird mix of the two which so far, doesn't feel quite right in tone and feels like there were two different writing teams with different ideas on what Star Rail should be and it conflicts with each other. I'm hoping it smooths over and these are just early story pains. Even Genshin Impact and Honkai Impact had those!

SyntheticPolygon posted:The Stellaron Hunters are super criminals with massive bounties that Are Not To Be Trusted so we must always deal with them with crossed arms and accusatory tones but also like I dunno that's very "cool antihero" to me which is how they're being presented. I mean, it's highly likely they're renegade heroes and not really true villains. From what I can gather, they're trying to fight fire with fire and use the Trailblazer to go gather the blessings of all the Aeons to become strong enough to take down Nanook, the Aeon of Destruction and the way the story seems to be going, the Trailblazer is likely going to ascend and replace Nanook, being a deity that doesn't poo poo Stellaron everywhere it can and command an army of nihilistic zealot aliens.

Kale posted:Replying to a bit of an older post here, but it does have that Imaginary Tree concept where it sounds like a multiverse thing where different universes are represented as branches on the tree and the Honkai manifests as a sort of counter force to it and the Sea of Quanta's growth. Yeah. The loading screens for Star Rail even mention the Imaginary Tree being a thing, so as much as people want Star Rail to be fully independent from HI3, that’s not really going to happen. Although, Genshin Impact is also theorized to be another universe on the Imaginary Tree, with a bunch of supporting evidence in HI3 for that. GateOfD posted:yolo spin with special rail tickets you got from the 7 days of log in. I’m at this point too… I understand that Silver Wolf at E2 basically changes her from being a debuffer, to a damage dealer with practically guaranteed debuffs right?
