Continued from >>4525249Thread for yuri discussion of:>Genshin Impact>Honkai Impact 3rd>Honkai Star Rail>Guns GirlZ>Zenless Zone Zeroand other applicable miHoYo/Hoyoverse games
the cinema event was pretty gay
but not as gay as Jane
not as gay as Jane but still they're pretty gay
I hadn't noticed until someone pointed it out, but Evanescia's line when she meets Himeko makes it seem like they met in the previous Phastasmoon Game. I wonder if she is involved in whatever cured the Withering Curse That's enough for me to ship them.
>>4546154I'm glad there's still people out there that enjoy this boring ass story HSR is pushing out
>>4546131Remember when players thought she loved Seth. That ship died fast
Food from new character trailer
>>4546357Linnea x Kirara ship unlocked.
Isn't it nice when your ship is canon?
>>4546364At this point I'm content with hoyo ships that are just "safe".
>>4546364Not when its a gross ass furry ship. This should be tossed in the garbage then set on fire.
>>4546364this ship is awesome, I'm going to put it on a pedestal
>>4546453I can't tell if this is sarcasm or not
>>4546359>Mask on so you can't kiss her as she climaxesWhats even the point
>>4546637So she can make out with a cat?

>>4547169They’re still referencing Rondo because, to this day, it’s the only meaningful interaction they’ve ever had.
>>4547169>same shit from 2 fucking years ago that's not even featured in the actual game Should I really feel elated about this? It's so tiresome at this point
>>4547169What a random and dumb trailer
Am I the only one who looked at the Star Rail livestream and didn't care? The 4.x story is doing nothing for me. The meme stuff have gotten old fast
>>4547192I think it's fairly evident that the devs have mostly given up on this game and are only using it as a means to squeeze as much money from the whale part of the community as possible
>>4547195The jokes they are making in the game all feel so outdated too. Plus this just feels like Penacony 2.0 rather than its own brand new experience. Seriously if someone stopped playing since Penacony and I showed them a video of Planarcadia they would think its just a new Penacony area. It feels lazy
>>4547197It does have quite a few differences though. Penacony is a lot more "solemn" and dark, while Planacardia is extremely colorful. Well, a dreamy atmosphere in Penacony I suppose? Then there's a lot of typical Japanese culture stuff, like manga, robots and all that stuff that Penacony doesn't have at all.Gotta be extremely superfluous to not think it's quite different. >>4547192They fixed none of the Amphoreus problems, which is a surprise to me as well. They were aware it's bad, added a skip function.. and then proceeded as if nothing is a problem into 4.0. You can only get carried by liking the older characters pretty much.
>>4547275>its different because manga and robotsCome on anon
>>4547275>You can only get carried by liking the older characters pretty much.The issue is the old characters are characters they never gave us much reason to like. Why should I like Blade? Why should I like SW? The game is banking on us already liking them and that being enough. It didn't work that well for Sparxie and I don't see it working well for SW or Blade either. Maybe Himeko if she is meta thanks to the whales, but even she is a massive issue. For 3 years she's been a background character and now all of a sudden I'm supposed to care about her and her backstory. For all its flaws Amphoreus at least tried to focus on a new cast instead of overly relying on alters and expies like Planarcadia
>>4547169Better than nothing, but damn I'm starving
>>4547321Starving for what anon? If it's yuri might I suggest HI3, R1999, or HBR
>>4547325Speaking of yuri in gacha games in reallt looking forward to this one. I like how the male MC is all but forgotten and they are using the FMC in all the marketing.
>>4547325Starved for scenes of the characters I like, not even just these 2 and not just yuri.I've already done HI3 part 1 and have no interest if there's no Kiamei. Part 2's setting and story looks boring, and HI3's technobabble traumatized me. R1999's gameplay looks even worse than HSR.
>>4547350If you're not starved for just these two of just yuri why are you starved? You act like HSR hasn't released a lot og shipbait content.
>>4547350Everything in P2 (post Ch3) is easily better than Part1. And we just got a full KiaMei event story this patch.I’ve been playing for almost 8 years and HI3’s current state is the best it has ever been for yuri. To think I was on the verge of quitting during the P1.5 Hua arc + first few chapters of P2…
>>4547672>To think I was on the verge of quitting during the P1.5 Hua arc + first few chapters of P2…Yeah, I quit the game around that time and came back on a whim during the sparkle banner and I have never been more in love with the game than I am right now. Part 2 yuri has been insanely good so far
>>4547674After that CNY event (!) which ended in a KiaMei Hollywood kiss, with Bronya's coming DK in 8.8, YY as a new AstralOp to go along with her, a free Sena which shares Bronya's and YY's Astral Ring type and, as the main dish for that whole team that MHY offers you with that, Seele in 8.9, I have sky high expectations.A return to form, once again, that mini puzzle event already teased a bit of BronSeele. 2 patches worth of Bronya and Seele, I can't wait!
>>4548041I know it's different Hoyo writers and teams but its crazy how we went from this to Hiyo being too scared just to say Navia and Clorinde or Dehya and Candace are dating, ZZZ leaning more towards Wise over Belle, and HSR not having one really good yuri ship in years.
>>4548071Honkai Impact is just the treat that keeps on giving. After that awkward start of part 2, they really doubled down and tripled down. I mean, it's not just CNY all about Kiamei or how this Bronseele team is set up, once again mixing the couple dynamic into the gameplay (which is something Kiamei also have with direct buffs in Mei's kit that only trigger with Kiana at her side), it's also the new part 2 girls. Everybody will tell you about Helia's arc and her fight against the vengeful spirit to overcome her own insecurities (and to be enough for Coralie... unaware that she has always been enough already as she is), but it was Coralie's sacrifice for Helia that triggered both of their arcs, Coralie's final trial for immortality is literally a dating sim about Helia, and her rejection of that immortality because she just wants to return home, to Helia, and them living that sweet mundane togetherness ever after, that's just beautiful. And if you look closely, the signs were already there when they were first introduced, even if they were very subtle.Yeah... I loved part 1 and now I love part 2.
>>4548020Old, but gold
>>4548108of course Kiana wouldn't let this cake be untouched
>>4548068Cute, but seeing Black Swan not glued to Acheron feels a bit weird lol
silly girls are just glued to their phones
If this wasnt made in China, they would've already confirmed Jane is into girls
>>4548142Cissia is her fate patner all along
>>4548123No one asked
For Honkai Impact!1N6PU7W6FL - 30 stamina, 500 asterite, a few light ticketsCheersCaptain - 100 crystals
>>4548232This stance will be made even truer if they are crazy enough to make Tsaritsa a Bronya expy
What's the odds Alice either won't become playable or flops because she has a husband? I feel like that will alienate a lot of yuri fans and also people who self insert at the same time. Shame too, sine they made her have such a good relationship with Nicole.
>>4548225Thanks for your input, sister
>>4548246You're welcome.
>>4548225u no likey Acheswan?
>>4548259Where is that said?
I'm conflicted about Thelema and Songque.On one hand, it's fun to see their master and pet dynamic, something more playful and daring.On the other hand, it feels shallow and like pure fanservice since it's so noncommittal compared to other couples. It was just to characterize Thelema, just an episode.
Cute that they gave Klee a girlfriend.
>>4548495Klee and Prune are so cute. I like the fact Klee gets Prune in trouble with her. I wish they mentioned Prune before and how they are confinement partners.
>>4548476Yeah, it's unfortunate they haven't had much screen time and focus
>>4548476>since it's so noncommittalHow in earth is thelema/songque noncommital?>>4548581They're the mars character with the most focus out of the alien trio ?The first 4 chapters are centered around Songque and Songlema is very prevalent in 2/3/3-EX, and they're also in the Thelema's side quest, and they still get a good chunck of focus in the Corelia arc
>>4548589Everyone else in the game is devoted to one woman exclusively, but Thelema talks as if all of her servants are her pets, it's not just Que. Did they really have that much more screen time? The way I remember it, Thelema mostly left after her little part in the story was told with the EX chapter.Please tell me I'm wrong and I misremember, I really want to be wrong and want more of them.
>>4548605This is genuinely one of the worst takes I've ever read, but I will try to walk through it anywayThe idea that Thelema isn't devoted to songque is absolutely ludicrous.In chapter 3, she verbatim tell songque that she would give up on the entire planet if Songque asked her to.The idea that she would do this for anyone else, is insane, and it's reinforced in the chapter 4 AU where Thelema once again goes against her entire family and become songque exclusive agent and support her acting career (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F268MeI1jVQ&t=8407s) and we know from chapter 9EX that Songque wanting to act is also something in the main timeline and Thelema witnessed Songque's acting when they were young and Thelema was captivated by her and wanted to support her since thenThelema accept absolute obedience from her servant, but she accept everything that songque does, like another example being the birthday surprise that Songque made for her in chapter 5 (https://youtu.be/4DJpenh3Xlo?t=8653) or how she went to look for Duonigue in 9EX despite being injured and having an arm dislocated just because she promised SongqueThelema is also incredibly shy around Songque, like in 9-EX, where she try to give a gift to Songque through DS, in their summer outfit description, where Thelema can't look Songque in the eyes after getting complimented and has to run off after the shoot due to her blushing hard or when she get an almost full face blush when she ask Songque to address her casually because she DONT want her relationship with Songque to be pet and servant. She uses this as an excuse to be able to help Songque without Songque refusing due to her pride.DS even compare them to a broken up couple when they argue about Thelema injury when Songque get worried about herThelema is also incredibly jealous of the fact that Songque tend to listen to Baiji's advice more often than she accept her help
>>4548610Wow, I'm genuinely thankful for your answer, you even linked a channel I'm subscribed to, I should have really known.You're totally right and I was mistaken. How did I forget about this? I usually believe that I read carefully. Her phrasing about Langqiu... that's more or less exactly what Mei said as well to Kiana.And because of my blindness, I considered the outfits to be pure fanservice, you know, with them locked behind the gacha. Even though the visual language of the outfits themselves really says everything. And therefore, the texts that come with it reinforce what the story already said, it's not just something new to bait spending.Yes, you were right. Thank you, I feel as if I can appreciate them much more now. I'm sorry that I was so retarded with what I claimed.
I fear this might get deleted over in /hig/ on a blue board, but surely you might enjoy it as well.
>>4548862Is that Leylah/Entropy? That's pretty hot
>>4549323
I don't play this shit but apparently there's some purrnice fuel in the recent update
>>4549346Anon you don't have to lie and say you don't play the game. No one is gonna bash you if you do
>>4549352I don't I just look at the cute fanarts
Rita weather in Abyss!
>>4548476>shallow and like pure fanservice since it's so noncommittalYou just described the majority of modern Hoyo ships
>>4549602In HSR even some plot points are noncommittal. They just drop a tiny hint, refuse to elaborate and let the player imagine the rest of the story, or they are only gonna address that shit 10 years later. Like I understand some foreshadowing, but not when it's separated for 100+ hours of the actual plot it's hinting. I'm still pissed about learning fuckall about Evernight in Amphoreus when she should have been one of the main focuses of the planet. I can't even expect them to finish explaining it on the supposed future Garden of Recollection arc, since they will need to shill new characters and I find it hard to believe she will get a new SP. Non-shilled characters get nothing.
>>4549602Honk is different. Songque and Thelema are different as explained in the posts following the one you quoted. Of course not every relationship is that of lovers, but it's the story of lovers that drives the plot forward.
>>4549620>Dan has the IL and PT forms>March has the Hunt and Evernight formsGrim. Maybe Black Swan will get an alter but that's even less likely.
Fucking Caelus
>>4549796firefly is there so ofc it's going to be him
>>4549952disappointing.
>>4549478Please, Circia take the place as Jane Doe main shipping instead of the catboy
Perhaps I was too harsh on Pinky.(Recommended team: Bronya with her new DK, Seele with her DK and Pink Elf)Even if the new Seele battlesuit just arrives in 8.9, that new kit for Bronya in 8.8 apparently (according to CN? And/or it was Bronya buffs for the new Seele) has specific Seele dependent buffs so that, once again, there's proper gameplay yuri integration. You can't run a valk without her girlfriend, that would be crazy.
>>4549796Hopefully they use Stelle for Evanescia at least, even if not shippy
>>4549952>>4550023The funny thing is, while I have seen the usual "all girls are waifu" types naturally latching onto his presence, I've largely learned to just tuned that garbage out, and otherwise more people actually seem to be focusing on Firefly/Silver Wolf.I'm actually more annoyed that people are emphasizing him more for "Stellaron Hunters as family" stuff as a result of the trailer than hetslop for once.
>>4549602I wouldn't call Himeko x Kafka modern. That's the most shallow Hoyo yuri ship in all of HSR, yet it the most popular yuri ship in the game.
>>4549979Seth x Jane died. The game isn't shy is showing she has a crush on Belle. Barely anyone still ships them
>>4550140Anything after genshin release is modern hoyo
>>4550145It's really funny how Seth x Jane went very silent and the normies got mad over Hoyoverse love over Yuri couples. I mean Belle is a sex goddess to all the girls around her.
>>4550140Pretty sure Acheswan is way more popular, although it isn't that far from Kafhime in terms of shallowness at this point unfortunately
>>4550187>Anything after genshinyou could make a point that everything starting with Genshin is modern Hoyo since Genshin already has that self-insert and mixed gender cast.
>>4550145Meanwhile Jane's latest promo appearance had her wrapping her tail around some snake tits.
>>4550140>>4550199To the extent it counts as yuri, Stellefly is the most popular by a WIDE margin, then Acheswan, then Starch, then a rough tie between KafHime and BronSeele for 4rd.In terms of shallowness, they're both pretty nothing, but at least Acheswan gets pretty consistently referenced even if they don't actually develop a relationship at all. KafHime just like, are on the screen at the same time once a year and that's it.
>>4550218What metric are you using? Some ships don't have much art, but have many fics, Kafhime is the second place in AO3, and Cerylens also has a lot of stories
>>4550244I averaged both.And yeah, Cerysilens is getting up there, already at about 7th right now, behind KafStelle and HertaMei? Ciphlaea is up there too outside the anglosphere.
>>4550199No its not>>4550215I'm not sure what your point is here >>4550258Its funny that Aglaea x Cipher is almost beaten out by Cipher x Castorice. >>4550218I don't think Acheron x Black Swan is the second. I'd argue Himeko x Kafka and Starch are more popular. They have more fanart and fanfics. I'd even argue Hysilens and Cerydra is more popular based on the amount of fanfics.
>>4550269>I'm not sure what your point is hereJust that Jane continues to be involved in gay shit wherever possible.
>>4550332Why does she have an egg in her asshole
HSR 4.2: Silver Wolf x Kafka still lives. And Yao x Eva had some cute and decent interactions, the ship actually works. As for the story itself, the first half was good, the second was ass
>>4550715No offense anon but no one cares about the HSR story here.
>>4550780
>>4550781
>>4550782
>>4550783
>>4550785
>>4550786
>>4550775I don't think anyone cares about any of the games stories from what I've seen
>>4550796That isn't true.
>>4550907dang milk.....
>>4550906>futa
>>4550929When did strapon yuri become futa???
>>4550932Look at around Arlecchino's tits in the first panelThere's a suspicious mushroom there
>>4550933Oh you mean on Columbina. Yeah you might be right. Don't know if anon noticed either when they posted it
This is so cutehttps://x.com/DeskFaceArt/status/2045932130610659538
Seele changed (?)

This follow-up quest to the current main quest was actually pretty good and unlocked a new ship I didnt know I needed until now
https://x.com/vissidistelle/status/2048559845729591367Tag view count on douyin to settle the popularity debate
>>4552228I don't get the people who feel the need to try and see how popular their ship is. Its like they are insecure and need reassurance that they are right to ship someone because others do. I'm also 100% sure those numbers aren't accurate.
>>4552228They are retards though, so their opinion doesn't matter and has nothing to do with quality. Ganqing is one of the blandest ships in history and is still on that list.I say this even though one of my OTPs is on the first place and I like some of the other ships.
>>4552228>>4552544"My source is I made it the fuck up". Seriously anons anyone could put random numbers down and say those numbers are facts. I'm less surprised by the post and more surprised that anyone believes its true.
>>4552228That's based on views through a tag though, rather than the content of said tag, which speaks more to FotM hype than enduring popularity. And I say that as someone delighted to see their OTP near the top.
>>4552544>>4552738If that post was true it have way more than 10 likes and would actually have some comments. It's clearly them talking out their ass anon
