>>4300184I love girls love
I would laugh if this happened
>>4300569Do the rest of us a favor and go back to your lane, Firefly.

>>4300579
>>4300192>combo ultimateIs that what we see with Koleda's? I always thought that was the default ult. I don't have her, so I saw it in the trial or in the story mission which both as Ben in the team.
>>4300592>>combo ultimate>Is that what we see with Koleda's? Yeah, Ben only shows up in her regular combo and ultimate when he's actually in your team. Otherwise, she has a different solo animation.
>>4300607
>>4300609Wait a second. That's an indirect kiss...
>>4300609When yo bitch too bad!
how is 1.2 for zzz is it any good?
>>4300631>how is 1.2 for zzz is it any good?Very good.
>>4300631Pretty much revitalized the game for me and got me to finally really get into it because of the QoL improvements
>>4300631Pretty dang good. Pulchra/Burnice got off to a great start, and Caesar/Lucy is pretty strong despite the the nonsense in the MV
so how old are Lucy and Piper? I'd assume the proxie siblings and the agents are around 17 to late 20's but those look like they belong in middle school
>>4300673They look like they're 14 or 15 to me. Not really my thing shipping wise. I'm more into hot older women like Zhu when it comes to yuri shipping.
>>4300673Piper is close to retirement age
>>4300673Lucy is way older than a middle school studenthttps://youtu.be/uOTiMtiTGFg?si=c723LWi3wRfb_5yc
>>4300665How's Caesar's event? did she always mention Lucy?
>>4300693>did she always mention Lucy?Yes, a lot.
>>4300688I agree totally. Zhu can bring home the bacon and fry it in the pan if you know what I mean.
>>4300694That's pretty smooth, Hoyoverse.
>>4300688Love that Zhu is the perfect husband-girl, just clueless around fangirls.
>>4300696>>4300698Zhu is just perfection
>>4300702Wait, I don't get the screenshots remark.
>>4300703Maybe a joke of all the screenshots of Zhu's assets people took of her?
>>4300716Oh well that's a bit sexist isn't it. It's not like she can change into her work ass when she's on the clock...
Looking back, it's kind of insane that Kafka released in 1.2 for HSR. Sucks that since ZZZ is more slice-of-life, there's really no 'important' playable story character. Don't really count Void Hunters since they carry no relation to Belle atm.
>>4300740Makes sense because ZZZ looks like a modern.
What's with Zhu Yuan x this Agent girl fanarts that she haven't even met? At least make Zhu Yuan x Excited girl fanart...
>>4300690She's either LARPing 24/7 or pretends to be older just so PubSec doesn't pull her over when she's driving
Why does Hoyo keep doubling down on het Caesar for no reason?
>>4300740ZZZ seems sort of like early Honkai Impact atm where they're doing some relatively low stakes stuff before everything goes off the rails later on.I appreciate that the plot is more methodical than some of the other Hoyo stuff but in exchange it feels kind of plodding at points.
>>4300797My issue is nothing has any real stake to it. I found myself barely caring about some of what was happening. For example when Nekomata revealed she actually wanted revenge on the Cunning Hares I forgot all about the guy she thought they killed, because he was such a throwaway character in the game. Also throwing so many new factions and characters at us so early in the game I feel prevents players really getting to know all the characters that well.
>>4300812I will say the writing is way better than HSR. That game has way too much yapping and the POV changing kinda sucks to me.
When will she realize...
>>4300820...that Lucy loves her?
>>4300820>>4300821It's a crime we didn't get to see the slap animated
>>4300812I also don't like how the different factions already know each other if the special events are anything to goI just how hope later on they don't introduce powerscales or leave factions to gather dust after their chapter is over
>>4300883ZZZ dumping new characters at us so frequently already made older characters useless. If I have Burnice why would I need Koleda? The game is too young to already gave that issue.
>>4300906>made older characters uselessI agree with this to an extent, but>If I have Burnice why would I need KoledaThis is nonsense sis. They fill completely different roles. Koleda is a stunner, Burnice is an off field anomaly/disorder DPSTheir only similarities is being fire and that Koleda can be played as a mostly off field stunner
>>4300944Better comparison would be Grace and Yanagi. I'm just happy I can finally get an Electric Anomaly DPS for my Rina instead of relying on standard banner RNG for Grace that I don't have.
>>4300948The game is so easy you really don't need either. I just use whoever I want and getting by easily. This isn't like HSR and Genshin.
>>4300977Not yet. But trying to play Neko without Caesar is still extremely questionable.
>>4300981I don't have nor would of bother to use either of them so I'll just take your word on that one.
>>4300977Rina's my only S-rank, so of course I actually want to use her. She's still sitting at 40 because I have no use of her atm.
The real Lingsha ship was underneath our nose all along...
>>4300993I'm confused. Do you want to use her or do you have no use for her anon? You contradicted yourself here.
>>4301037>have Rina>don't have either Electric Anomalies>why would I even use her??
For those that haven't done the main story yet, the new HIA event lets you try out Burnice. She's so flashy that it's actually making my game lag.
>>4300772>Why does Hoyo keep doubling down on het Caesar for no reason?They're not.
>>4300797It helps that the story has a much smaller scope than Genshin and HSR. They can afford to do some character-driven writing for once this time.
>>4300812>My issue is nothing has any real stake to it. I found myself barely caring about some of what was happening.Star Rail has the same issue despite supposedly dealing with planetary or equivalent threats.
>>4301140Star Rail has no stakes because it's dealing with planetary/galaxy level threats
>>4301195Star Rail has no stake because the writer just love writting cheap cliffhanger to end patch without consideration as to how it would read as a one block story. This story is the fakeout kingdom. After so many fakeouts, I don't care anymore about what happens to anyone.
>>4300812ZZZ story's has a rough start, it's not like it's outright bad imo, it's just very flat. It tries to have a light hearted and comedic tone with occasional serious moments, but doesn't pull it off and the serious moments don't land.1.2 was a big improvement and it was the first time I got emotionally invested in the plot and characters There are still problems but I'm looking forward to see them improve again in the next patch
>>4300772>hoyo secretly ships Lucy x Caesar well, just 50/50
>>4301066They're doubling down on her being a Shoujo girlie which I guess means, if we're following some people's logic, she's straight?Glad I never cared for Jane or her so all of this doesn't bother me in the slightest.
>>4301040There is only Corin. Corin can be played well with the robo cop (or other stunners, but they'd be all worse), but you only trigger her passive if you add physical or someone else from her faction. Rina is the only one that can be used there without it being silly.That said, Rina isn't too great with her low buff uptime. People generally consider M1 necessary. But in Corin's case her advantage is that Corin gets her extra steroid, so it ends up better than anything else you can really do. Corin is also a burst dps that only really wants to deal with stunned elites/boss', so the short-ish uptime isn't too bad. I'd hope.That said, now Caesar exists, and she is physical. And especially with robo cop, that's just much better as this also helps her damage by quite a significant amount.
>>4301372Hot but that looks like an actual plenis and not just a strap.
>>4301373okay i didn't look very closely at it
>>4301251>They're doubling down on her being a Shoujo girlie.You know shoujo girls have option can love girls right. Lucy still has a chance of winning Caesar this isn't new.
Caesar who? I am shipping Lucy with belle
>>4301436Belle is for Zhu Yuan
>>4301438you mean Ellen
>>4301444Did Ellen even sleep in Belle's bed like Zhu?
>>4301436>>4301438>>4301444Belle can have multiple wives
>>4301438Oh how I wish this artist stopped drawing futa...
>>4301376this artist goes hard
>>4301838why the censor
>>4301864full on her patreon
>Don't worry I can protect you>I can take the beatingWeird that she's not for girls
>>4300690Piper should hang out with Qingyi and her friends.
Their height gap is delicious
>>4301962What about age gap?How old is Lucy supposed to be?
>>4301963nta They said that they're childhood friends, they're not that far away from eachother. It's funny how Caesar and Kasa act like sisters but never said anything like that to Caesar and Lucy
https://archiveofourown.org/works/57875536/chapters/147316045how are genshin smut fics better than the actual genshin fics i read
>>4301962Just caught up on the game and the Caesar vids now and damn the Lucy/Caesar pandering is STRONG.
>>4302574Nobody cares. Don't bring stupid twitch drama here.
>>4302574Please leave and take your e-drama with you.
>>4302603>>4302601ok ok chill
>>4302388I feel like Burnice should have a boob mole.
Caesar, Feixiao and Mavuika. What is with Hoyo hetting up the most lesbian women?
>>4302987>MavuikaLegitimately nothing het has been shown with her, fuck're you on about? Yet, anyway. So, fingers crossed.And if your logic is the people doing fanart of her with Capitano because of their fight, that's entirely a you problem.
>>4302987Feixiao is honestly just a poorly handled character with or without her two yes-menI've never felt so indifferent to a character I should have liked before. Ended up skipping her for Robni and then (miraculously) got Lingsha with the few rolls I had left.Also no idea what the hell you're on about for Mavuika
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KJXHU6QGrBMI dunno if Dain is implying that Xilonen comes running when Mavuika calls, or runs away when she does. But for obvious reasons, I'm going to go with the former.
Shame there's no art of Mavuika and Atea
>>4303126Tragically her being a dead NPC means she was always doomed to be ignored.That Dunyarzad gets any art is a bloody miracle.
Haven't touched genshin since sumeru aka since HSR came out, was there more Jeht content? Or did she disappear never to be seen again?
>>4303163She got a shout-out on Valentine's Day and a profile avatar, that's about it.So short answer, "Yeah she disappeared."
Uhm, Belle?!
>>4303163Jeht got Valentine's art and she's a loved npc but in terms of yuri content more people who like Lumine are yumes who pair her with men. Yuri doesn't stand a chance.
Imagining Jean as a dorky romantic.She will try cheesy lines from dumb books.She will ask Kaeya and Klee for dating advice.She will vent to Barbara about her love life.She will get drunk, accidentally confess and forget that happened.And Lisa will still fall for her.
So Zhu Yuan is the tallest.
>>4304148Cute but also wow you know it's a bit grim when the tallest girl is only barely above the average height for women.
>>4304148Them not being lined up correctly is triggering my autism
>>4304148why do you think the girls are fascinating at her that much?
>>4304177It's a Chinese game, and she's more than above average for Chinese women
>>4304183Piper looks so done, like "damn kids are having sex in the shower again"
>>4303163Why do some people have to start their comments with "I haven't played Genshin in c amount of time"? Just say what you have to say.
>>4303043>I've never felt so indifferent to a character I should have liked beforeIronically that's how most people feel towards Lingsha. She might just be one of the most forgettable characters in the game. She came out at a terrible time. After Feixiao, around the same time as Xilonen, and at the same time as Shorekeeper in WuWa.
>>4301444Belle wants to be dominated by her maid shark so badlyhttps://youtu.be/gNvm-drbiys?si=DsxwrdECLydoCNXj>>4304190Isn't Stelle the tallest Hoyo female?
>>4304177She's 10 cm above the average about 15 cm above for East Asian standards what do you mean
>>4304398Stelle is 175 I believe and is very tall for Star rail but I think some characters in HI3rd go beyond that
>>4304177how is that the same for 156 cm normal height of girls?
>>4304416I think she's just Northern European, average is closer to 169 for her. 175 is still not barely above average though
>>4304412When the difference between average and the tallest girl in the entire cast is just 15cm that's kind of an issue, no? Or to put it another way, there's plenty of hoyoverse characters who are more than 15cm shorter than the average height. Why isn't the inverse possible?
>>4304420Beauty standards or something like that. The bright side is that at least Zhu Yuan and Caesar are allowed to be taller than male MC, unlike HSR
>>4304444Is Zhu Yuan still taller than Caesar?
>>4304445Caesar is 176cm, so just slightly taller than Zhu Yuan.
>>4304420>more than 15cm shorter than the average heightBecause they’re children?
>>4304359>>4304361>>4304363She looks like she fucks human women
Neat detail
>>4305486Tiny girl wearing tall girl's jacket is so peak, we need more of thisAlso, I want a piano duet ingame
Simp Lumine is a menace https://youtu.be/YjCOdjF9UQI?si=pd4XKOiMUgdTX6z_
>>4303043>Feixiao is honestly just a poorly handled character with or without her two yes-menThat's not very surprising with Star Rail. Not one character sine Penacony has been written well. The fact that Penacony's main story has 0 character development made the whole thing feel skippable, or just a glorified event. The only thing of note is that we got Harmony Stelle. Even Firefly's character development came after the main story was finished. How do you write a multi part story where no one grows as a character.
>>4304188Zhu by back and Jane by front
>>4303920Jean being a sucker for romance is literally the second thing we learn about her after her being overworked. The fact she doesn't have any proper interactions with the Mond women after the AQ is criminal. Then again she barely has any interactions with Lisa nowadays.
>>4303926Mavuika would totally do stuff like Booba Inspection Day if she could get away with it.
>>4304396Chiori stuck around because she had quite the deviation from the standard Hoyo women personality chart with her anger issues to go alongside her striking design.
>>4306495Imagine how bad og Luofu was if Penacony was considered good at release.
>>4306643The crazy thing is that story had more going for it than Penacony did. Dang Heng accepting his past, his connection to Blade, Yukong promising the honor Tingyun after her "death", and most importantly Stelle and Kafka's relationship getting more development.
>>4306651They are going to edge us to death with Tingyun 2.0, aren't they? Isn't she planned to release around the holiday season?
>>4306653We’ll see by tomorrow Today should be Sunday’s drip marketing
>>4306639She's a goddess, she can do what she wants.
>>4306643Penacony 2.0 was literally kino. It had so many cool ideas and mysteries, the atmosphere was perfect, I can't believe how hard they fucked the plot after that.I dream of a Penacony rewrite/fix/AU fic that makes it more like a classical mystery
Dehya is definitely looking at Dunyzard here
>>4300631Just got to the new and improved Hollow Zero zone and it's so good. One and done commissions and SU-like playstyle but without all the annoying stuff But fuck that one Withering Garden modificationNow I'm curious what they're going to do with TV traversal in the future. As annoying as some people found it, the story-telling aspect of the TVs was really well done.
>>4306768>As annoying as some people found it, the story-telling aspect of the TVs was really well done.I'm a TV lover and even I found some aspects annoying. I saw a video recently that had a really good critique of the TVs and I hope they take those specific criticisms into account
>>4306678Remember when the start sets up a interesting murder mystery, an interesting setup between Stelle and Acheron, and a potential team up with Aventurine just to fuck it to all three of those ideas. And let's not talk about how much they dropped the ball on Jade and Topazz in Penacony
>>4306643I think Penacony would be received much less positively if 2.0 hadn't been so goodIt wasn't perfect but the atmosphere was fantastic and carried the hype through the much weaker 2.1
>>4306771I still haven't done The Prophecy and I'm dreading it.
>>4306782The Prophecy is actually pretty kino. Give it a try sis
>>4306714Too masculine
Why Jane?
https://x.com/ZZZ_EN/status/1842157512847675656Apparently Belle calls Caesar her Big sister
>>4306773Jade looked like the biggest player of all the IPC and Aventurine killing himself (or at least trying) seemed like it would trigger some sort of invasion...but literally nothing happened. It's insane how all the cool ideas they introduced ended in nothing. The biggest insult was the Something Unto Death monster just being a transportation means. But one of the things that made me the most mad was them teasing Constance and a whole subplot involving her, Swan and Acheron, but again, nothing happening with it. What the fuck.We also never saw Acheron struggling because of her memory loss and having to rely on her emotions. Sure I didn't expect her to be Dory, but she had zero troubles because of it. They should also have kept her as a threatening force for longer. Even if it was obvious she wouldn't be evil and kill us unless there was not a huge reason because she is the Mei expy, it could have been exciting. It just hurts to see the dance trailer and then Acheron turn out to be super nice 1 minute later.
>>4303043If Tingyun turns out to be her shipmate Feixiao might just clutch it. Hoyo thought the only thing people cared about Acheron was the powerlevels and made a waifu that is nothing but that!
>>4307102Acheron screams endgame lore character. We are far from seeing the last of her.
>>4307102>It just hurts to see the dance trailer and then Acheron turn out to be super nice 1 minute later.What they did to her and Sparkle is criminal. Both got really cool and evocative trailers, but then they amounted to nothing but a plot device and a wet fart
>>4307102>>4307150Better than Genshin at least, where there's never really any characters that're ever anything other than generally nice and gracious.
>>4307131True, I can begrudgingly accept this as an excuse for not exploring her lore and the whole "find me/your end in my origin" thing in her trailer (Which maybe it was just Robin calling out to her, but I'm not too sure), but the memory loss thing and her possibly being dangerous to the main cast could have been amazing.>>4307150Sparkle indeed managed to be treated worse than Acheron. Not sure whether she or Robin were the most neglected characters
Hanabi found her way to the gayer game at least
>>4307151Not really.Both games currently suffer from character bloat and the unwillingness to commit a playable character to something with actual stake.
>>4306684Looks more like Dehya's staring at Lumine's ass.
>>4307150Sparkle was much more complex and interesting than she had any right to be. Not bad for a lady that the fanbase had already written off as a mixture of Yae and Hu Tao but that also makes it hurt worse to fumble her like that.
>>4307151The tall cryo ladies have it especially bad. Shenhe was fumbled, Eula got woobiefied and Rosaria straight uo deleted from Irminsul.
