Going on a date, shopping for flowers, and meeting the family...Marriage when?
>>4322395>Marriage whenIs that legal in China?
>>4322398It's legal in the Underworld.
why is caesar/lucy not more popular? they feel like the most blatant couple so far
>>4322403Based on what I'm getting ZZZ as a whole just isn't super popular. Caesar's het trailers didn't help much either
Stelle will end sharing Belle girlfriends!
Do you guys know content creators of these games focused on yuri?
>>4322473https://www.twitch.tv/minaaoyamahttps://www.twitch.tv/nihmune
>>4322506No idea on the second one, but there should be a warning for the first. They fangirl over the guys very often too, but not as much as the girls. Won't be surprised if she's one of those folks that are like "Asaba is a butch lesbian" bs that I'm seeing flying around
>>4322506I used to watch Mina before getting bored because her 15 year old personality and her endless clitriding for such a mid girl like Robin
>>4322577>midWhy are you complaining when you’re clearly in her age group
>>4322506Mina was once fun but she became really annoying after awhile. She comes across as a shill, who only plays HSR because she's friends with some of the VAs. Also her Robin love is so over the top that it gets annoying real fast
>>4322410Once the mainstream attaches the gooner tag to your game there is no escaping it. You can only double down like Nikke and Azur Lane in that case.
NGL sisters, Natlan has been quite the let down in yuri content. Where are bloodthristy warrior lesbians, Hoyo?
>>4322634>bloodthristy warrior lesbiansHoyo would never write anything so based
>>4322604You should probably rethink your age groups
>>4322618I remember seeing Japanese players arguing with Wuwa players about which game is the more gooner game. Maybe becoming a gooner game will help ZZZ. From what I saw Global makes up a majority of this games fans.
>>4322634Natlan has been a letdown as a whole. Genshin and Star Rail's writing has really declined to me. Star Rail hasn't been really good since act 1 of Penacony. Genshin hasn't been really good since act 1 of Fontaine. Citlali, Kachina, and Mualani are the sole reasons to play Natlan for me.
>>4322666Considering zzz's real mc is Belle I think I'm fine with that.
>>4322707
>>4322771
>>4322666>>4322675I doubt Hoyo would go as far as Nikke with their fade-to-black sex scenes but they'll probably have something at least more intimate than the relationship system we already have
>>4322666You're not gonna real fanservice from Modern Hoyo.
where the hell did all the posts come from? the last thread moved like molasses
>>4322825
>>4322838I know that some of /u/ do not like the truth, but fact is.. bump limit heavily reduces activity because it kills visibility of the thread. Making a new thread when it hits page 10 is fine on active boards, but here it really isn't working.Nothing new though.
>>4322886Only newfags and retards sort by bump order anyway so nothing of value is lost
>>4322893Gatekeeping isn't helping when the gate keepers are the idiots to begin with. And if you wouldn't be an idiot, you wouldn't try to do so in the first place.
>used all my pulls on Burnice>will miss out on Yanagi's milkers
>>4322920Go back
>>4322886Never heard of the thread watcher?
>>4322971The thread watcher is s few steps too advanced for a retard that can’t do something as simple as making the catalog sort by last reply
>>4322634>bloodthirsty warrior lesbians>genshinAfter how boring they made Arlecchino I don't know why anyone would expect any spice.
Should I get my hopes up for any Pulchra x Burnice content in the future?
>>4323032If you get your hopes up then you risk being disappointed, if you don't care you can be pleasantly surprised
>>4323032They're teasing them so why not? I don't think they even care about the guys around them.
>>4323032Pulchra doesn't seem to belong to a faction, and Burnice did offer for her to join the Sons of Calydon. I don't think she'll actually join them, but if the story ever revisits the SoC, then I'll be surprised if Pulchra and Burnice don't at least share screentime.
>>4322634natlan is terrible and honestly killed my interest in the game
>>4323067Every Hoyo story lately has sucked. Natlan being bad is just oar the course of modern Hoyo writing.
How long before ZZZ starts doing HI3 revenue numbers? Is this Hoyo's biggest flop, or did people not like Burnice as much as everyone thought? I know a lot of people said they were saving for for Yanagi, but honestly I don't see her doing all that well either.
Numberfagging doesn't belong here
>>4323091Suck a dick crybaby
>>4323089Pretty sure there are better places if you want to dick measure
>>4323091>calling someone fag and gatekeepingI hate people like this. Who cares what they say? If that's not what you want to talk about ignore them
>>4323088disagree, I actually loved the entire sons of calydon storyline and all the girls in it. especially caesar/lucy and their dynamic. even lighter is a pretty enjoyable character because he just stands in the corner doing his own thing whereas in genshin they shove every male character in your face desperately trying to make the player find them cool. i think the wild west setting was a great change of pace too, but i'm still excited to see the section 6 gang even though i'd prefer they keep going with unique environments instead of going back to cops and offices. natlan has been a disaster to me however and i dont play honkai
>>4323067I personally enjoyed Natlan so far. Yeah from a pure yuri standpoint, there's little to nothing in it.
Yanagi X Soukaku or Yanagi X Miyabi?
>>4323089I think viewing it as a flop is the wrong takeaway here - ultimately gacha games are extremely oversaturated and I'm sure plenty of players are invested in genshin/HSR and just plain don't have the time and/or money for a third.
>>4323155Soukaku x Miyabi
>>4323155soukaku is too much of a kid to me. i like miyabi x yanagi as coworker yuri. miyabi can nurse on yanagis breasts after a long day of work...
>>4323089I think it's that there's not much else to do in the game. There's no big overarching story or other modes, once you do your dailies there's just little to keep people immersed or into it long term, unlike something like Genshin where people can make theories about the lore in the downtime.
>>4323155Zhuyabi is because they have known each other since college.
>>4322348Please let Monday anon be right. W-Engine posts are so dumb because it's literally just a ball.
>>4322643All they had to do was to give us a nation full of Dehyas and Shenhes and the rest would sort itself out.
>>4323067>>4323088>>4323150Inazuma (btw was the writer change rumor ever confirmed?) proved that Hoyo can't write war. Natlan feels like Pokemon instead of *insert favorite wargame here*.
>>4323268
>>4323269
>>4323272
>>4323232i'm a fan of the headcanon that they used to date but until they show them still interacting i'll prefer zhu with qingyi
Looks like I'm in the clear to pull for Yanagi since Miyabi's in 1.5.
>>4323273clucked again :DD
>>4323297There’s still tomorrow And I’ll personally wait until beta is up to be 100% sure
>>4323297I refuse to believe we're only getting Asaba and a rerun (Ellen). Then again, we still only have 1 new A-rank character...this game is in a weird state. >>4323320I don't know, wouldn't it be strange to tease a new character right in the middle of when they're releasing all the info for 1.3? Feels like they're not following the supposed release 'schedule' people assumed they have.Anyways that enough dooming from me. There's still Yanagi. I hope her damage numbers are decent
>>4323297Someone just posted Miyabi's icon 1.3 but just the same pic from her old art...
>>4322634>>4323246i thought natlan was just average but did anyone honestly expect yuri from it?
>>4323373I expect yuri from everything.
>>4323338>when they’re releasing all the info for 1.3Doesn’t Genshin do that? From what I’ve heard they get character introductions in the days before a new patch.>YanagiShe’s good overall but she gets a massive boost from Burnice.>A rankYeah it sucks how we already have less A ranks than S this early on into the game.
Miyabi is in 1.4 from the looks of it
>>4323492Yep, as ice anomalyI’m hoping she has no synergy with Yanagi honestly. I’d be quite sad if she ended up being a subdps or a support-ish anomaly. Personally I want a very field-time consuming playstyle so I can grab my 30s buff from Soukaku and have fun.
>>4323494>ice anomalyBoo, what's the point of ice anomaly? It's shit,She should have been a motivated ether anomaly instead
>>4323315Cute and canon
>>4323494>I want a very field-time consuming playstyleSame. I dislike how Ellen plays so I really need a different Ice main dps. There's also nothing more annoying than being shown a strong character in the story and they end up being sub-dps/support.
>>4323373Every major patch released before had a strong yuri pairing for the fanbase to rally around1.x had Beidou and Ningguang2.x had Ei and Miko3.x had Dehya and Dunyarzad, as well as Jeht4.x had Clorinde and NaviaNatlan looks barren in terms of yuri so far. Also, if the rumors which say that the Tsaritsa is a Bronya clone turn out to be false I will be very upset.
>>4323521I know your ulterior motives and I can assure you she wouldn’t replace Nicole in that team
>>4323605ulterior motives? I just don't want Ellen to be made redundant already.And with mono ether anomaly it's the Qingyi getting the bench, not Nicole
>>4323606ZY needs to play bursty so QY is not going anywhere
>>4323608Speaking of Zhu Yuan, I wonder if there will be some quotes when switching team with Miyabi eventhough they're in different squad.
>>4323620Do the Calydon girls have any when switching with Billy?They'd probably be treated the same way.
>>4323606I'm looking forward to using Miyabi in my Ellen team. Getting all that freeze uptime will be great for her.
>>4323644I hope they will add that someday.
>>4323593I always wondered how the early days were around here. Before the fan favorite pairs became established.
only playing this event for them
So today's story is about Soukaku x Yanagi
This promotion cycle is...something, to say the least. Miyabi's banner is the first half of 1.4, even though all signs point to her being otherwise.>>4323840Didn't manage to catch the video, but apparently she has ties to her/Oni's in a leaked teaser video that will release in an hour.
>>4323854Nevermind, it's outhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_-E2gjaiMhI
https://youtu.be/VKAleRjP6G0
Ah yes, the doomed from the get-go scenario
So which storybook from Miyabi's team will show? Sukaku? Yanagi?
>>4324063What?
Maybe I am one of those gacha idiots. Didn't realize there's a +80 stam coffee all this time.
>>4324099They added it either in this patch or last patch, I can't remember, but it wasn't there in 1.0
>>4323606You do not play Zhu without her cop buddy. You need those stuns, otherwise she does nothing.This is the one issue Zhu has, because her extra passive isn't gained by having a stunner, but a SUPPORT in her team. Which means unless you have her cop buddy, you can't choose something not support as a number 3. The two cops + Caesar work, but not Anby Zhu Caesar.
>>4324099>>4324102Yeah it came with 1.2
>>4324102>>4324109That makes me feel slightly better. I should probably start reading the update notes from now on to see what I missedWhen does Yanagi release for Asia? Trying to see if the core skill material listed early for her is right
>>4324127All servers get the update at the same timeIt’ll be up in ~8 hours
>>4323813God I love Dehyarzad so much
>>4324067Event story I mean
>miyabi and yanagi as lesbian moms (soukaku is their adopted daughter)ok im excited for section 6 now
>>4324204I think only Yanagi that shows motherly to Soukaku.
They're changing the seiyuu for Yanagi and English VA for Soukaku AGAIN
>>4324259Strike purges?
>>4324259
When Oni Soukaku grows up, she'll marry Yanagi.
>>4324259Before or after everything we've been shown already? I don't really care, but I will be annoyed if the VA was changed after all the promos are released for her with her old VA.
>>4324277I think you can hear them on the new trailer>>4323891>>4323858Both definitely sound different. I was surprised that Soukaku's EN voice becomes better and isn't annoying unlike before.
>>4324272>grows upWhy wait?>>4324259>>4324264Kaori Nazuka was great, what a shame
>>4324285>Kaori NazukaShe's still listed on the official website for 1.3
>>4324259>>4324264it's like they want Soukaku to be this hyperactive gremlin but can't commit to it
>>4324264Wait maybe I was too dumb to notice, do they mean that they changed Yanagi's VA from whoever it was in version 1.0 and the new one is Kaori Nazuka, or did they change Kaori Nazuka for some other VA and they haven't updated their official website yet?
>>4324294I think the former is what happened. Other than here, I don't see it mentioned anywhere else and if VAs did change post 1.3, I'd think people would be making a bigger fuss.
Yanagi just acts like a Big sister to everyone.
https://x.com/ZenlessW0rld/status/1853997536106750381She sounds like the old Soukaku.
Will there be story continuation or is that it?
God all these Japanese skill attacks for Yanagi is reminding me of Raiden, it's immediately going in one ear and out the other.
>>4324357Dumbest thing I’ve read today
>>4324366Worry not, you'll hear more dumb things from me
>>4324355Probably in 1.4
>>4324357And she doesn't even pull a sword out of her boobs like Raiden either. Talk about a downgrade...
>>4324299Based, zhuyabi is still alive as ever.
>>4324403This level of cope is quite something
>>4324413You can't blame them, zhu yuan and miyabi are something.
Her children are cute.
so is yanagi worth rolling for?
>>4324414I like it as a concept but there’s barely anything ingame for it, far less than the various sector6 yuri ships do at least
>>4324431Obviously the game is just really new and nothing to show about them at all, all we know is that they knew each other since highschool/university. I mean Zhu Yuan literally still keep their photo together in her house.
I think Miyabi said something about retire thing, I wonder what is that all about?
>>4324357
>>4324427She's amazing if you have another Anomaly character. She's also really fun. Granted, this is just me speaking at first glance. If you want actual numbers and shit, no idea.
If anyone hasn’t played the 1.3 story yet, please take a screenshot of Soukaku’s drawing of herself and Miyabi in the HAND office once you get there. Can’t access that place after story for some reason.
For the Genshin/HSR vets out there, what do you do with excess 4* banner weapons after you max refine them? Just ignore it and let it pile up in your inventory? Can't believe I didn't get a single weapon for Anby but now I have 5 extra of the other one.
>>4324543I use them to level up other light cones
>>4324507Gonna be tough to build two new characters at the same time after spending so much on my first two teams. And that’s after buying the battle pass for three months already
>>4324288It’s tricky since they want Soukaku to come off as a gremlin, but also remind us that by her fantasy race’s standards, she’s technically a child
>>4324516
>>4324473I really don't remember Ei having Red Oni themes. That was always Mei's thing.
>>4324614Meanwhile I'm still waiting for a female Oni in Genshin that's actually lore accurate to counter Itto's silliness.
>>4324625Are they eating buddies or something? people didn't expect that Miyabi is stupid unlike the rest
>>4324507Is she? I feel like all ZZZ characters pretty much play the same. Attack, dodge, and then attack again. The gameplay is pretty basic if you ask me.
>>4324625ThanksI hope we get more Miyabi x Soukaku next patch
>>4324693>Attack, dodge, and then attack againThat's like, every action game ever.
>>4324761Coping super hard here
Ofcourse, Soukaku and Yanagi are living together.
>>4324805https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TZvfPRf1-i4Kinda funny how Soukaku says she was born earlier than Yanagi, indicating that Oni’s age much, much slower. I’m starting to wonder if the blood transfusion was also way to make sure Yanagi also ages slowly
>>4324357Shes pretty much Narmaya from granblue, whos Vergil from DMC, also Miyabi is a Vergil and Raiden in every hoyo game is a Vergil holy fuck they love that combat style
>>4324817Am I the only one that doesn't see Raiden from her? Maybe it's ZZZ's art/animation style but she looks nothing like Raiden to me
>>4324828Don't think people mean how she looks, but everything else >>4324473
>>4324828I just mean her combat style/gameplay/move set in the quoted post
>>4324831
>>4324832
>>4324833
>>4324834
>>4324835
>>4324836
>>4324837
>>4324838
>>4324839
>>4324840And let's not forget the best moments of the summer event
>>4324841And this scene
>>4324831>>4324841Nilou is canonically Lumine's wife. I'll say it again. Lumine and Nilou are canonically lovers.
Cute eventMore Sumeru female cast is always good
>>4324847I love the fact that these two are always together everytime we see them. There hasn't been 1 appearance post Sumeru where they aren't together.
>>4324847the nahida birthday event? how i did not see that
>>4324850You can find NPCs around the world after each day in the event and talk to themCandace returns to her village and asks (You) to sit with her if you’d like on day 3
>>4324853huh i just blazed through the event was not aware of that
>>4324830NTA, but I've played her HI3rd versions, and it's nothing like that as far as I'm concerned. Likely just a subjective thing.
>>4324846it kinda feels like Loom gets one wife per region with lots of subtext and content. Noelle, Shenhe, Ayaka, Nilou/Jeht, Furina etc
>>4324882One wife per region at a minimum.
>>4324854It’s really hard to find them organically so most people just forget it’s even a thingI remember one lantern rite had Hutao and friends in some corner of the dock that I knew for a fact I would have never checked
>>4324954The agents might have their wives, but at the end of the day, they are ALL Belle's wives
>>4324882>>4324884Then there's this drunk Granny in Natlan
>>4325030Isn't there one person that she calls her wife?
>>4324882Lumine x Furina is so cute
>>4324882Reminds me of the party talk there was a couple threads ago. While Noelle and Ayaka would fully commit to their honorable warrior roles, controlling Nilou (accidental terrorism) and Shenhe (walking demographic collapse inducer) would one helluva challenge! And Furina... is Furina.
>>4325072I really hope she's a melee catalyst.
>>4325078Not exactly. During one of Anton's trust events, Enzo says something about how kids these days are crazy and he once saw someone who said that their wife was an anime girl from a gacha game. Belle can respond with pic related.
>>4325285Her character also screams catalyst.
It's a shame Rappa is mostly paired with Boothill and Caelus. HSR hasn't had a new yuri ship really blow up since Stelle and Firefly
>>4325303Rappa isnt really paired with anyone, she's not a big shipping character for any demographic.
>>4325305With players she is. People that play this game ship Firefly and Robin together. They don't need some big romantic scene to ship people.
>>4325293ohh okay, well, that still confirmed that she has a wife.
so about that miyabi marketing...
I know Genshin and ZZZ's yapping can be a bit much, but am I the only one that feels that HSR is the worst offender of yapping too much? It feels like ever since Penacony the game has been 80% talking, 15% teleporting between locations, and 5% actually allowing players to fight and play the game.
Zhu Yuan mentioned
>>4325381
>>4325382
>>4325379That's a nice surpriseLeaks are slow as fuck, as usual, so I'm guessing beta stuff is next week
>>4325379Looking at her element, next week can't come soon enough
>>4325394Just 3 days left if we’re going by the 1.3 beta schedule. I just hate that if she’s a new element and not ice her synergy with Soukaku will be reduced by a good bit.I do like how they put the void hunter icon next to her name though (which is coincidentally the same icon as quantum from HSR/HI3), kind of gives me hope we’ll get the other void hunters. I need the Kiana/Mei/Ely lookalikes.
>>4325400I need Sunbringer to be playable. Biggest fear is she's like that one guy in Genshin that was shown very early on and they're still not playable after 3+ years
>>4325373I feel the same
>>4325394>MHY would rather create a new element than give us a third Ether character
>>4325366I heard that her English VA is the same as the mouse one from Jane's trailer. I wonder if she voiced one of the agents?
>>4325305Makes sense, she isn't a character for anybody. She's like waifu Mika from Genshin.
>>4325299It'd be hilarious if she fights like a luchador.
>>4325373They need to be reminded of show, don't tell. It doesn't help that Chinese is a very verbose language.
havent been able to play the new story, anything good?
>>4325768Miyabi will be out this week so you need to collect those poly things now.
>>4325832
Miyabi's character animations are out. And she lives up to the hype. Though I'm cautious with what's shown atm 'cause apparently she's at M6 for those skill animations?
>>4325890The part tied to M6 is picrelTo specify, when she’s charging up that one attack of hers, M6 releases 3 waves of the slashes you see in picrel. Other than that it should be the same.
https://x.com/ui_dodoco/status/1854890317490909556
Why's she so beautiful
>>4325730It would hilarious if she did a suplex as one of her attacks
>It's actually happening
>>4326167i need pulchra to mark her territory
>>4324473Feel free to call me insane, but this is how I see it.
>>4326167New Pulchra info and Yanagi/Miyabi synergy, it's been great. I need them to keep it that way until she releases.
>>4325754They also need to work on how to write relationships between characters. Outside of March, Kafka, Dan Heng, FF, SW, Asta, Luka, and the ghostbusters team Stelle's relationship with other characters is so forced. There's so many times while playing I'm questioning why the game acts like Stelle and some of these characters are friends. For example Robin in the latest event says she trusts Stelle, and I don't know why when she hasn't said more than 3 words to her up until that point. Same problem happens with Boothill and Aventurine. It's also why Acheron's goodbye falls so flat. They never built a relationship to the point where an emotional goodbye was warranted. Stelle was in the presence of fake Tingyun longer than she was with Acheron. Compare that to how ZZZ makes a point in having Belle get to know the new character in each new story. Or Lumine becoming friends with every new character to the point where Lumine being with one of them doesn't feel weird or forced.

Only thing to look forward are the Mavuika and Citlali teasers next Monday. Maybe Ping will be announced too?
>>4326123Well she's a roller girl, that's like +100 cool points right there. Add in the trendy modern-esque clothes and it's hard to say no.
There be some lesbians at the Greek HSR area, If not, then what's the point?
Anyone else who likes Furitao? I wish we could have more food but not even fanartists makes much art for them because other rarepair aka Furiscara shit got more popular thanks to those hetfags on fandom who portraits Furina as straight for their self-insert fantasiesAnd when rarely Furitao have some art, its again for those hetfags see their waifus together for some fetish of them (almost all the time with one of them being futa), i fucking hate this and i hate mihoyo for fuel these things with nvfr
>>4326983Thats great
>>4326983Is Firefly just as flanderized as Ayaka ?
>>4327049I don't think you understand what that term means sis
>>4326716If I had to guess I'd think Arlefuri stops other Furina yuri ships from thriving
>>4327218That ship still a thing?
>>4327221I don't even go there and I know how big that ship is. >>4325914Bit of a bummer, but I'm already plenty happy that her attacks cover a wide range. It's honestly crazy the amount of harder content locked to Ether/Ice weakness. I'm so excited for her and a Zhu Yuan rerun
>>4327221What's that suppose to meanIt's the only good Furina ship.
>>4327049I have no idea what you're trying to say. I think you're mixing up what that word means. Either that or you're looking too deep into fanart
>>4327273That ship sucks. It exists for 0 reason other than Arle scared Furina once. They never interacted at all since. Then again Hoyo fans ship people for less reason than that (Firefly x Robin)
>>4327296They had tea together, secondary anon
>>4327296>It exists for 0 reason other than Arle scared Furina onceYeah, and that's hot as fuck. Yuri is at its best when one of the girls fears for her life
>>4327375I wonder if this is how Thirens like Nekomata are made
>>4327191>>4327293Tha fandom basically flanderized Firefly into a jealous waifu for Stelle when this has basically never been in any way close to how she ever actually acted in game, the same thing happened with Ayaka and Lumine.
bellen is so good
>>4327293Shenlumi is still my favorite Lumine ship.
>>4327589Patrician taste, sister. Shenhe deserves better than yaoi-inspired crack.
>>4327375Can't believe she might be joining Sons of Calydon. Since she's freelance atm I wonder she got convinced
>>4327809i remember reading somewhere that she might be joining gentle house or something >>4327798 how is it yaoi inspired?
Did we learn anything new about Candace in the current event?
>>4327820That was just a placeholder.
>>4327820I'm referring to Shenlan.
>>4327849ok but how?
>>4327820Like what >>4327839 said, but both those options make a lot of sense. Gentle House already has Billy. What I'm really curious about is how they'll tackle future new factions, especially with the recently leaked playable singer character.
So like, Sons of Calydon has 6 members now?
>>4327946It's the blood on Furina's neck that does it for me desu
>>4327867There's a rumor people latched onto it because it's like the yuri version of Xingqiu x Chongyun
>>4328271Also because people didn't want the Beiguang shippers to chimp out because somebody dared to ship Ning with Yelan. You see the schizo Eimiko shipper twitter wars were still a very fresh memory back then,
Latest leaks say Hu Tao skin and 2nd story quest. Looks like LR skin setup for the 5* is gonna be Hu Tao and Yelan.
>>4328271It's cause they're hot
Is there Corin x Belle fanarts? They're actually pretty cute together. Strong shy girl x weak energetic girl.
>>4328966Not many unfortunately
>>4322398if they can make kids ccp will allow anything.
i wish zzz had its own ei miko ...
The idea that ZZZ might be releasing a singer and her agent/bodyguard is so peak.
>>4329094Is that the one who looks like cleopatra or the idols?
With summoners needing Sunday and Herta wanting multi-erudition teams I might actually have no one to pull after TY until the collab ends >>4329122The former. She probably won’t look like that when playable though since it’s just one of her movie roles.
>>4327296>Then again Hoyo fans ship people for less reason than thatI was there when people shipped GanQing when there was like 0 interactions of them. 0 interactions in game and 0 shared materials anywhere. The connection is 1 of them is a Morax follower and the other hates him. It's very different from cp like JeanLisa/BeiGuang/EiMiko where you can tell the game tries to pair them together.Then after that it' like the floodgate suddenly openned for that couple. How it gets to be probably the 2nd most popular GL cp in Genshin I never know.the point is maybe just ship anyway then the dev will throw you some crumbs.
>>4329204I'd much rather have the women free-range and talk to other women and let the fandom decide who gets shipped with who. Rather than devs just locking to a pair with safe interactions and milquetoast vibes.
>>4329532Arle wound up being so boring too.
>>4329537Imma be real with you, chief. I stopped caring about Arle the moment I realized we weren't getting her Lazzo personality.
>>4329350I like how she mentioned the girl from that hollow tv thing.
>>4329094I’ll have to use up my 2x topup if that’s the case. Miyabi M2 is too good for me to pass up.
When is Miyabi anyway? After Yanagi or after Lighter?
>>4329532>I'd much rather have the women free-range and talk to other women and let the fandom decide who gets shipped with whoTbf, there are pros and cons of each approach. I like this if it's a small and very close cast like Love Live. However, normally when you have a character with "weak" ship in a gacha, what you get is not your free range shipping, instead the most dominant cp tend to always be with the self insert which might or might not be your thing. Take Ganqing for example, before it was a thing it's all Ganyu x Traveller and Keqing x Traveller.Also a locked pair does attract a lot more content for creators, and thus more fans and it creates a positive loop. I agree Genshin locked pairs are boring though, except Ganqing (which is kinda accidental) you can very much tell what are the devs preference cp type. I don't need them to tell me they like their cold stoic momma x playful flirt for the nth time.
>>4329713After lighter
>>4329716That's good, I still have time to level up myself and to collect poly or something for Miyabi.
>>4329776I think this patch rewards more polys than usual too, maybe because of all the new stuff introducedI can't wait to run Soukaku and her two moms as a team
>>4329714Fair enough, different strokes for different folks. You do hit the nail in the head that most Genshin locked are just boring. IMHO Beiguang for example works better as amicable exes because Qingguang has that something special in my eyes, you know? Also Hoyo deserves roasting for making Sara's writing raw ass and not even trying to do Eimikosara.
>>4329863Weird thing to call them Moms.
>>4329893Yeah, especially when Miyabi doesn't want to be part of them. She's more like a natural Chief.
>>4329532Nah, canon interactions unite the fandom and content creators. Asking for the opposite is utter madness
>>4328338really? wish i played the game back then i started would have loved to see the meltdowns
>>4330017Nah, you've got it confused. I mean women having multiple interactions into their canon writing and then fanbase makes its move.
>>4330030Warning: that was mostly a personal observation from seeing fanworks. Everybody waits for the huge, super popular artists to take the plunge, like how Yantao and Shenlan were big for sometime despite being literal crackships.
>>4330030Also, that Eimiko-Yaeyato war badly damaged the yuri community's image and standing on twitter because the schizos were posting and other sorts of fucked up shit and that was before Elon's aquisition brought all the hetfag bluechecks to bully and harass the Hoyo yuri fanbase.
>>4330433Pretty sure it went both ways. Some big yuri acc got doxxed all over a dumbass crackship. Genshin fans are a different breed of people.
>>4330433People would hate yuri regardless of ship wars. Male star rail fans seethe hard at Acheswan and accuse its shippers of being annoying and delusional (and the ship of being abusive and toxic). They also complain about hsr yuri fans in general and "wahh they make all characters gay", though they rarely talk about fujos. They try to come up with an excuse to make all yuri ships seem problematic and then cancel it. Bi/het women also love to shit on yuri and himejoshis for no fucking reason
>>4330461The issuebwith Star Rail is that unlike Genshin, HI3, or ZZZ the ships are kinda forgettable imo. Besides Stelle with March, Kafka, or FF they are all throwaway ships. Sushang and Gui are pretty consistent, but aren't that popular for some reason. Outside of them other ships get crumbs. I blame the game for not going all in on the ships that allow het fans to bash yuri fans. Look how none of the het fans ever talked shit about Stelle x FF. They know that ship holds weight to it.
>>4330561>the ships are kinda forgettableThat's more of an issue with how HSR is written. The CHARACTERS are forgettable, so of course the ships are too.
>>4327444That's not flanderization works. The fandom can't flanderize a character. All they're doing is creating fanart. You're looking way too much into a nonexistent issue
>>4329532That feels so lame. This mindset almost feels like the het shipper mindset. "It's doesn't matter how the characters act I'm gonna ship them with who I want" is all I'm getting, which to me makes the characters feel lifeless. Like they're OCs for you to write however you want. It also feels like there's be no point in getting happy to see yuri in the game.
>>4330605>"It's doesn't matter how the characters act I'm gonna ship them with who I want"That's like a good 80% of all the hoyo ship, no matter the type. (See Shenlan, KafHime, Arlefuri, etc.)
>>4330568Isn't that Hoyo as a whole? ZZZ has some of the most one note boring characters ever. It doesn't help that many of their characters feel like they were taken from their other games. Jane Doe is just Yelan. Yanagi seems like another boring busty Raiden character. Anby feels like Lynette. Nicole is as greedy as Dori. Belle is bubbly and sassy like March. Wise is the straightman like Dang Heng. Hoyo has so many games that the characters start becoming archetypes more than actual characters are awhile.
>>4330607And guess what I dislike all the ships you listed for that very reason.
>>4330610I have news to you, I've never played the other hoyogames but zzz so I'm good. It doesn't bother me much.
>>4330607Tbf the fanworks for these ships have also never been good. It's hard when you don't have canon to follow.It's acceptable if you just dissociate with the characters though.
>>4330649Man I feel sorry for you that ZZZ oscthe only Hoyo games you've played. It's arguably their laziest
>>4327589Mine too
>>4330662(translator's note: Loomie got her pussy obliterated later that night)
>>4330661How? Played most of them minus the one not available and Themis and I disagree. It's also still in its infancy
i know dozens of lesbians that play genshin and the only ones that like Arlefuri are narcissistic, sociopathic trannies that want to self-insert as 'stoic' Arlecchino and rape little delicate Furina with her tiny tight pussy bleeding on their chemically castrated cocks as they strangle her and watch her cry at the unwanted breeding creampie she's about to get it's not romantic, it's not interesting, it's toxic and malebrained and exploitative Arl is hot but her fanbase is revulsive so I avoid the ship altogether
>>4330738Arlecchino is for Clervie after allAlso>lesbians>tranniesPick one
>>4330738I dunno about all that, but I agree it's kind of lame arle ships are so overwhelmingly dominated by domineering predator/prey furina stuff.
>>4330738The sad thing is Furina x Navia/Clorinde/or even Hu Tao is so much better. Let's not forget how it was Lumine who Furina was willing to open up to in Fontaine. Also she seems to really like/care for Lumine. Speaking of Lumine and Furina I've never actually noticed but is Lumine actually taller than her?
>>4330756
Got to this part recentlyReally liked how romantic it looked, even though it's just her falling asleep. Wish they were a thing.
>>4330461Acheswan hate is hilarious considering that used the trailer as bait and straight-up didn't bother to commit to that ship.
>>4330607Shelan shippers should give it up because they had two years and LRs to make them into a thing if they wanted to. And Yelan hasn't been seen since 3.4 which is crazy considering how insanely popular she is.
>>4330821What exactly did you expect them to follow up with? They get married at the end of Penacony?It was a tease, and Acheron had a party join line for Swan, that was about it and that was about all we were going to get.The fact that they chose a dance for what Black Swan was trying to do is already a win.
>>4330827Fuck if I know, Genshin did more and it did it earlier.
>>4330661>Only gamesWell, it feels like zzz has my favorite characters and I'm fine with that. I prefer the modern style anyway.
>>4330821I think we will see more of them later in the story. I'll keep bringing this line up until hoyo notices me
>>4330840Honestly, it's more likely they'll give Acheron a newer and hotter gf by that point.
>>4330821They barely even interacted in the game. That trailer really was just bait to get players interested in boring ass Acheron
>>4330837>modern styleI'm confused in what you're trying to say here.
>>4330841They first have to give her an actual personality. Seriously outside of Firefly was there any Penacony character that developed as a character by the ending? Even getting Harmony Stelle was lame compared to getting Preservation Stelle.
>>4330850What? you haven't heard the news that we are getting robots this year?
>>4330850Probably the character designs
>>4330853Acheron was too OP to get development. She mostly went to Penacony to grant the wish of a dead person, there wasn't any conflict about her beliefs. We know that despite all the shit she went through, she is mostly fine mentally. Instead of being a depressed emo, she is optimistic. The best example is her line that even if you can't change the ending, it will have a different meaning depending on the journey, that's pretty neat.My biggest disappointment is not exploring her memory loss and how it affects her. The idea of using emotions to remember things is so good, but it was never really used
>>4330871That doesn't make much sense. They make it sound like characters like Xilonen, Rappa, and SW don't dress like modern times.>>4330914Being too op to have character development is honestly one of the most baffling things I've ever heard. The fact that you can remove her from Penacony and very little would change says it all. She was just there for the Raiden Mei reveal and that's about it, and even that fell flat since they never gave us a reason to care about her. Hell even in your own post you summed her up as an optimist and that's about it. She's so boring that even Feixiao stands out more than her.
>>4330968Sheesh, I understand that you like all hoyogames, anon. I'm just fine with zzz. 1 game is enough for me to play around.
>>4330738>it's not romantic, it's not interesting, it's toxic and malebrained and exploitativeToxic ships are hot though, Arlefuri is just shit considering Arlecchino even now is still mourning her dead gf. Crack shis is just really not my things.>>4330823>Shelan shippers should give it up because they had two years and LRs to make them into a thing if they wanted toI think what happens is probably Hoyo figures they have their yuri bait quota for Liyue already with Beiguang and Ganqing and move on. If Ganqing wasn't really a thing then maybe they can have a chance, but Ganqing being as big as it is no way Shenlan has any chance.
>>4331192Shenlan never had a chance because the characters never met. It's the Firefly x Robin ship situation. Just like with Shenhe x Lumine Hoyo doubled down on Firefly liking Stelle with every appearance.
>>4330738Y'know you can dislike a ship without making up people who like it to be mad at, right?
>>4330968It's more like Acheron's appearance kills any tension and suspence because of OPness. She's walking ''fuck you, I win'' button. Also Feixiao was literally made for the powerlevelfags who didn't want to interact with the yuri fans. Unless she also gets a smoking hot gf if they ever expand on her more.
>>4331192Ganqing is the black horse of the popular Genshin lesbo ships because it's the only where it seems the writers had no plan in putting them together. Hoyo gave them stuff afterwards because of how quickly it became popular.
>>4330968Not that person, but ZZZ’s designs simply click for me, where the have the usual detail overload like all gacha games but still have a noticeable theme in grouping and gameplay.
>>4331335Frankly, the fact that ZZZ has unique character models and doesn't recycle everything already puts its designs like 10 notches above Genshin and HSR.
>>4331294They could have nerfed Acheron with her memory issues, but it never mattered. Fucking hoyo
>>4331294You can write an OP character that's interesting. Hoyo was just too lazy to do that with her.
>>4331257I thought firefly x stelle is canon because they're always together and always promote them.
>>4331533Stellefly is the closest thing to a canon ship in hoyoverse, but it's not exactly maintext
What do we think about Algae and her headless maids?
>>4331701I’d like to pull her, but there’s a 99% chance she’ll be shit to play without the faggot called Sunday supporting her
>>4331703It's sad that they are really making him a crew member.
>>4331752And to top that off he'll be necessary if you want to play summoners (in hypercarry setups at least)
>>4331703Yeah, I can already see her being as clunky to play as Shityuan without Sunday.
I will unironically drop the game if Sunday join the Astral express, I wouldn't be able to stand having him around for the rest of the game.
>>4331853Not only he will join but leaks said there will be a "male" firefly in the next chapter but maybe that one is fake.
We’re getting a loli Quantum Harmony in 3.1, and she’s called “Tribbie”
>>4331701Feet. Jokes aside, I hope we get a cool hoplite lady since we are going into not-ancient Greece after all.
Hu Tao is gonna be the protag of the next LR and gets a skin along with XL. Ning (second most lines actually), Yelan and Beidou return while Shenhe and Xianyun dip out.
>>4331335Kind of sad the ZZZ crowd didn't appreciate the simiplicity of a hot OL. Anyways, Yanagi is thriving despite everything.
>>4331853whats wrong with him i do not play hsr so i am curious at why some anons here detest him so much?
>>4331889He's an absolute joke of an antagonist with kindergarten grade philosophy, who also is the main focus of what is probably the worst patch in PenaconyI don't hate him or anything, but he's like the symbol of everything that was wrong about Penacony, because it started as an interesting arc and every patch after the first one seemed to entierly forget what happened in the previous one to try and establish some new plot point, again, and again, and again.
>>4331891DA, plus he hogged a ton of screentime, meanwhile Robin got only a couple of minutes. Though I'd argue maybe Aventurine was worse and brought the worst patch
>>4331894He will hogg even more time because they will have to show off him being a crew member now, also what the fuck was the point in letting BS in the train? Doesn't seems like she will get focus anytime soon.
>>4331896This was the worst teasing hoyo has ever done. "We have fuel only for 1 more jump, let's go to an isolated planet..." but proceed to travel to all the planets we've already visited, multiple times, and for dumb events. I think we will only get Amphoreus in 3.0, hoyo's planning was fucking retarded. And BS doesn't even show up for the stupid events.
>>4331891that makes sense now i see
>>4331896I think you may be exxagerating a bit sis. HImeko and Welt are also part of the crew and they get much less screentime than the usual characters plus whatever story arc characters are involved with whats happening.
