Herta: Star Rail
I'm almost done with Amphorus I think, I defeated the Bird and I am back in the City(bad version), How much more is left? And If I understood this correctly, It's an simulation, and the black tide is like Data-corruption or something similar? And the people are akin to Memo-sprites? Does anyone care to give me an QRD?
>>564785738Not as bad as SW with no Yao.
>>564785950You are about to have it all explained bro keep going
My fox will not join the DoT agenda. You've all been mean to him.You already have a fox, anyway.
is eva even worth pulling? it feels like the current elation team is complete with sw, sparxie and yao
>>564785950Lygus gives a literal QRD at the start of 3.4
>>564785950You finished 3.3You have 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 3.7 left. Equally as long as what you've already done.Just keep playing and Lygus will info dumb like an autist
>>564786038>>564786103Oh, I'll keep going then. Thanks bros
>send sw999 to die alone without the needed reruns, making her completely shit>she flopswow who could tell
>>564785989People will deadahh tell you yao isn't necessary in SWs team at the end
>>564786078>Is the cutest planarcardia character worth pulling?Yes.
Okay but imagine how much money they would have made if Yaoguang was free.
>>564786078If you have SW they are just going to compete for supports.If you don't, just save for himeko.But if someone put a gun to my head and made me choose between betting on sw and eva for meta I would go with eva.
>>564786078Eva is her own team. Though there's overlap, it may be hard to get full value if you already have the SW team up
>>564786186shartji needed his 20th flopfly rerun with undeserved buffs on top
>>564786071I have never said a single bad word about my nigga Jamalqiu
>>564786118>You have 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 3.7 left.That seems to be loads of story left for me, I don't mind it too much, At least I'll get loads of jades going trough it I guess, and some parts of the story is pretty good, But I do sort of wanna get started on the current planet sooner rather than later, I just think If I skip to it now, I'll never get done with Greece
>>564786249pinkshits are forced cute
Bnnuy!
>Dickrolled yao>Was originally planning on get yae to have an elation team ready>According to leaktroons Cyrene is getting rerun next patch and this means I can finally e2 her since I couldn't do it the first runFuck, I'm gonna have to skip yae at this point. I CANT fail to get cyrene's eidolons a second time

>>564786341>Underserved >When she got fucked over for all 3.x with toughness inflation and toughness lockNah kill yourself tranny, these buffs (and dahlia) were well deserved after sitting through all of shitphoreus
>>564786078Not worth at all until we get a second Yaoguang.
>>564786249>>564786294>>564786320As someone who pulled SW as my first elation unit, I still plan to roll for Yae. Hopefully they will be able to support distinct teams down the line.All this talk of overlapping and competition for team-mates is only due to the lack of Elation units so far right? I didn't play at the beginning of the newest planet so I missed out on all the previous Elation units, and I plan to pick them up as soon as they re-run
Peach
>>564786413I need donkey sex.
Can you impregnate trees?
>>564786610>All this talk of overlapping and competition for team-mates is only due to the lack of Elation units so far rightMm yeah.
>>564786714>abundance treeshe's so fertile
>>564786071
>>564786262Only low IQ third worlders (I'm a high IQ third worlder) and kids (automatically low IQ) care much about and prioritise free 5*s and once the game gives something for free it becomes a new standard that's why poowakeks are screeching at their anniversary.
>>564786417Roll for Eva, manami. dickrolls are rewardedps: your drawings are kino
>>564786078Hoyo did something really funny with elation compared to remembrance because if you’ve been investing in it, it’s entirely possible that they created two different teams where SW does better in ST and Eva in AOE. Depends on what their remaining plans are but they may have created a situation where you’re rolling to complete two teams just because you have one as is I’d also like to see how good SW/Eva/Yao/Sparxie all do in a sustainless run
>>564786714She makes flowers grow on your pp
>>564786590>When she got fucked over for all 3.x with toughness inflation and toughness lockyea... her alone. dont mind the boothill and rappa crying in the corner
>>564786610>All this talk of overlapping and competition for team-mates is only due to the lack of Elation units so far right?A problem unique to HSR by the way kek.
Stelle is so cute.
>>564786590are you going to cry for more buffs when she falls off again in 4 months?
>>564786837JQ slurpza is fucking cursed
Swannie's soft, fluffy hairHer gorgeous eyelashesHer sunset-colored eyes, beautiful beyond wordsHer porcelain-smooth skinHer cute, enigmatic smileHer voice, gentle and soothing, like a whispered lullabyAnd her soft tummyAnd the warmth of her body, tender and comfortingAnd her graceful gait, light as a dream from which I would never wish to wakeAnd her lap, soft as morning clouds in springAnd her silky purple veil, drifting before my eyes like twilightAnd the heartfelt bedtime stories she murmurs as I drift into peaceful sleepYup, methinks my dear wife is simply perfect <3 Swannie LOVE!

Is belobog ok? They're hiring a 10 year old as their tourism head.
>>564786369Hm, you're safe then.>>564786837What does this mean...?
>>564787095Likely contains a lot of spoilers. It won't be up until the 29th
>>564786862>I’d also like to see how good SW/Eva/Yao/Sparxie all do in a sustainless runIt does pretty good for a meme comp. I saw a few AA king 0 cycle showcases during the beta.
FUCKKKKKK I JUST PLAYED THE STORY AND I KINDA LIKE PEARL
>>564787186Belobog is IPC clay
>>564786868That's only if eva is a male tree. Female trees collect all the male spunk in the air and make fruits. Aka, she loves bukkake.
>>564787186Cute sells more than the gruff lesbian or the prim leaderr
>>564787326IPC is evil
>>564786610I think there’s a nonzero chance that the sustain is the only character both teams share at the end of the version but it’s not like anyone knows for sure
>>564787186mind you, they didnt even bother to buy her shoes
Can someone explain why the Astral Express is bothering to humor Pearl when she's a filthy soulless clanker?
>>564786857I relapsed
Obsidian as DoT sustain this year, trust the plan
>>564787396It is not. Just pay your rent bum
https://x.com/Bijisanm/status/2040340560498798731Oh no... I lost to regular mobs again...
>>564787326Yknow from what i heard of the leaks. It really does suck that they nuked the japan story. Apparently Pearl was supposed to be Space Mcarthur. Aka the only gaijin japan respected.
>>564787396They are objectively the heroes of the story
>>564787529>Aka the only gaijin japan respected.The retarded shit you read here
>>564787186They're trying to entice immigrants to come to Belobog and increase their population by parading around their most breedable girl on screen.
>>564787529>leaksYou mean tranny fanfiction
>>564787480The clara protection club bought her shoes. But clara is so used to walking without them that she left them aside cause she didn't like how they constricted her feet.
Isn’t that the department that Oswaldo runs
HSR hasn't released a new dps as charismatic as Jingliu
>>564787396And I love evil women!What a funny coincidence!
>>564785695Silver wolf cone or e1?
>>564787667Yes.Skott's death is because of Oswaldo.
>>564787181i look like this
>>564787667Which one was diamond again? Financial?
>>564785989Yeah I'm saving this for the next time a pedo retard tries claiming Yao is optional.
it's a saturday night, go out.

>>564787813UglyGet back to me when you look like this instead
Asta won. Hue Hue lossed bigly.
>>564787918Why?
>>564787953I'm already bored of her "rules of the game" spam. It's as bad as the "set the seas ablaze" spam.
>>564787762Her E1 isn’t bad but do you really want to lose out on that speed from the cone if you aren’t going for E2?
I regret skipping Ashveil
AAAAAAAAAAAAAA I NEED TO LOCK IN
>>564787762if going for e2 now then e2, if it's only between e1 or cone then cone
>>564787918I have no one to go out with.
>>564788274I don't regret skipping Ashveil because he's male
Are we actually going to see Oswaldo in 4.x?
>>564788282AAAAAAAAAA I NEED TO EARN THE EQUIVALENT OF 10 DOLLARS IN ROLLS
>>564788274This but unironically.
17 more days... edging without restraint isn't good for your health.
>>564787762E1 then cone. Do not even think about getting e2 right now because she cannot consistently max it out outside of shill modes. Wait for more teammates before considering E2.
What would give me the highest amount of gems in the shortest amount of time between Amphoreus Story/DU/CW/Events/Swarm Disaster/Gold and Gears/Any other non-endgame mode I'm not aware of?
This years poll choices are so ass. March is objectively the only good pick.
>>564787762Cone first always. Eidolons are never worth.
>>564787762Cone before eidolons, always.

>>564788597Get a job
>>564788008im a man
>>564788437I highly doubt we will, it's more likely that we see Yabuli or his NPC underlings. Oswaldo should be saved for an actual IPC arc focusing on their internal shitshow.
>>564788597A job yeah get a job
>>564788597A job
>>564788437I think so, one of the 4.0 previews teased him and Isee, and we know Ashveil is how Isee was connected to Planarcadia, everything from that trailer will probably be relevant
>>564788607It's not a poll retard.

Hmm... I think I prefer the bigger one~
>>564788442Would you rather have $0 or $10?
Why did Ampohoreus connect with the female audience so much?
>>564788942But I already have ten dollars
>>564788834I think it would be quite funny if Pearl ends up being his BiS sustain

March's tits belong to Caelus
So what are we talking about with Eva? E0S1 should be good for starters, right?
>>564788961because-- buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuurp
>>564789058
>>564788961You see that guy they shilled for 5 patches and his half naked boyfriend
>>564789151i could make her happy...........
>>564785989Can't believe I spend months arguing with the retards here about Yao being NEEDED. Months of retarded arguing. And I won. And I feel nothing.
>>564788961Amphoreus is actually a well presented story that everybody can enjoy, even my 11yo niece liked it
If I’m at E2S1 Castorice, should I go for E6? The rest of her eidolons don’t look like they do much. I think E2 Cyrene would be better.
I am in a quest to cum inside every single Herta puppetIce Elation 5* Herta puppet when
>>564786586>This is the best second half DPS in a long ass timeYou say that like they release two dps of the same path in the same patch often.Go point to me a single instance where this ever even happened.
Mywife love!
>>564785989Cool so if I'm going for E2S1 Eva I can leave Yao on the SW999/Sparxie team
Today, I'm getting a new car.
>>564789304>having castorice at e2 before cyrene
Happy anniversary bros... Except for Amphoreus niggers since they shit arc ruined this game
>>564789304Hyacine e2 > Cyrene e2 if you care about AA
No one likes you here Marco
We're getting closer.
Lygod
>>564789595marco...
>>564789304Evernight is better, shes a stronger dps and her eidolons are the best value in the game. Castorice being weaker is not subject to debate and shes getting dropped as soon as a new subdps comes out to replace her.
i miss general jing yuan
>>564789595What if I'm only an enjoyer of specifically the second Amphoreus loop in part because of how much I want to ruthlessly FUCK Cerydra
>>564789118e1 then s1 then e2
>>5647884423200 jades is $50 bro

>>564789708Nobody is saying this
>>564789368>Herta and Aglaea>Castorice and Anaxa>Phainon and fate collab.>not often
>>564789852I talk like this.>>564789916I agree with them.
>>564786586Sunday has unironic anti-synergy with Elation characters, CB uptime is core to their perfomance and his advance kills it for negligible benefits
>>564789916I say this though. I like Keikaku Man
I beat Silver Wolf in Smash with a bet that the loser has to do whatever the winner asks, give me ideas
>>564789916i just did
>>564789978So the 100% advance is actually worse than the 50%? How the tables can turn
>>564789953 (me)Not the same paths but two dps in the same patch is pretty common.
>>564788961women like being miserable
My friend Sampo just asked to pin a scam link on my stream
>>564788769>She doesn't know.
>missing jing yuanI wonder what totally necessary sequence of events we will be required to be near to ensure it occurred
>>564789708We all do. In fact, everybody is saying this.
Should i roll for Firefly in current year
Who the fuck is everybody and why does he keep saying stupid things?
How is E1 Ruan Mei compared to E0 Fugue for FF now? I assume most would use HMC instead, or both sustainless but if I didn’t have HMC available, I’m curious
>>564790531liking kotcoded characters, starting the game for him, swiping for his eidolon, using him for 2 years and be involved in his shipping fandom for a year
>>564790092>>564789978Any advance sucks ass for Elation characters. It's a weird path. We might need a character that can advance Aha instead. That is way more valuable than advancing SW.
>>564789742where are these fromi like how it looks
>>564790750It's kinda funny for Eva in that she doesn't really care about the Aha either
>>564790708Jing yuan is not very shippeable
>>564789716That's fine because Cerydra was one of the few good things about Amphoreus
Should i roll for Firefly if i dont have Fugue
>>564790708Like 1 part of that is related to him showing up in-game sis... I hope he gets a novaflare for you though
>>564790816V1 Eva made more sense when she didn’t necessarily want more elation characters
>>564789978>sunday hates funorderfags, never again
Is the music supposed to cut out constantly here? The same thing happened when I was about to fight the bird earlier
>>564789978I noticed this in DU. Getting those "advance on break" and "advance on kill" are a bit bricky and end up removing your Certified Banger stacks.
>>564790817as of now i agree after seeing how space china actually played out over the years. but back in 1.x i had fun shipping him with lady fu and blade
I nearly sat on my balls again. That was a close one.
>>564790985Forgot the image
Poor guy's still on the run.
>>564791205Sounds like an audio bug, the music only intentionally gets kinda glitchy in the vortex
>>564791205>>564790985Too long ago for me to remember
Kuchiba is so fucking hot. God I love adult females.
>>564786078They are each going to get their own team. SW/Sparxie/X/Elation Sustain and Eva/Yao/Y/Huohuo
>>564790812Like to the google sheet at this reddit post.https://www.reddit.com/r/EvanesciaMains/comments/1sh6ofp/sheet_results_evanescia/
do i need tribbie for castorice+evernight?
>>564791307Think we’ll actually get Vita in 4.x? Seems like an obvious pick for an elation character
>>564787490God please. I want DoT exodia already.
>>564791307nah star jumper ended up getting caught lol.
>>564791467everyone wants yao tho
>>564791495cyrene pushed tribbie to the sidealso gave her a wedgie and took all her lunch money
I think Elation sucks
i made up my mind
>still no pic of Eva doing this
>>564791421Super plappable and confirmed main push in the future. It's looking real good for us Kuchibabros.
>>564790531Holy FUCK that cat is so goddamn ORBular
>>564791608Right now, yes they do. This is not going to be the case in the future with there being 2 elation main dps with a possible 3rd one on the way. Thinking Yao is going to be the best character for every elation team far into the future is the same shit sundayfags did when they thought he was going to be bis for every single remembrance character
>>564791517They're sure going out of their way to hint at her a lot, but Sporgle's team already seems pretty set, and there's no universe where I can see Vita being a sustain. It'd be pretty soulless if they didn't work together.
>just noticed that EMC only says “wataa” at normal speedbummer
>>564791697anyone but acheron is a respectable choice
>>564788961Because there's a lot of yapping
>>564791918this disappointed me bigly when i found out about it
>>564791738>confirmed main push in the futureSource?
>>564790870If you aren't pulling at least:>Firefly e2 + s1>Fugue + s1>Dahlia + s1 do not even bother trying to build a break team in th current year or you're looking at a 10 cycle clear. If you're committed though her e2 is highest priority so make sure you grab it.
>>564791883She could be another elation support which we honestly need anyways
>>564791920What's wrong with her?
>>564791495>do i need tribbieSadly no, she got rugpulld from every team in the game. One of the worst pulls of 3.x by far.
>>564792025I already have her at E1S1, and she feels really strong, Would E2 still be worth it?
>the top SW clears all ditch Sparxie but keep YaoEvernight of Elation btw
Gotta admit SW999 is really comfy for material farming, having one EBA killing 4 waves in one go is nuts
>>564792160It should be sparxie and huohuo together because they're both replaceable and the bottle should be yao
>>564792160In the end, the one that can do better without Yao is probably gonna be the most relevant past Elation shill meta
>>564792232>material farminganon we have the fuel tickets now...
>>564792194Yeah because that's still one of the best E2 in the game
im gay
>>564792229But how does that affect people here?They are not the ones posting their clears on the site
>>564792194>I already have her at E1S1Her e1 is basically worthless its like a ~10% boost so you should definitely pull her e2 if you're that close you are missing a ton of dmg.

A reminder that the Aha skill mechanic is designed to revolve around Yaoguang especially since she has the smoothest transition to it when it triggers. You genuinely NEED her.
>>564792515I don't remember half of those characters.

Huo huo doesn't really need her sig on an elation team, right? Seems like they need more energy than attack.
we did it NO YAO NO PROBLEM
>>564793405That's Scott not Skott
Back during the early days of HSR people said Bronya would never get powercrept because AA is just that strong and you would just use the new AA and Bronya in the same team.If a new Yao comes out you can just use Yao with that new character. We are returning to 1.0 strats and theorycrafting.
>>564792515Fulwish is literally just sperging out, using her trauma to justify destroying Planarcadia.Sunday is the one that wants to give everyone an ideal dream to live and die in.
>>564792515No Fulwish is just shit tier, she was pushed but nobody actually forced her hand
>>564793617
When do you guys think that Cyrene will have her first Re-run?
>>564793812SHARTfly
>>564792745Elation teams are not as good as they could be because of Yao. Nobody can help with her getting an ult except Fofo and even then she can barely get 2 in fight. The fact that AA has 3 waves so Yao can benefit from her cone and she can still barely gets 2 ults should immediately tell you that she isn't going to last. Another support that can have teammates other than fofo contribute to the artificial aha instant would instantly replace Yao
>>5647938424.4
E1S1 Fofo did alot better than expected although it might be because Kafka takes a bunch of turns to act as emergency heals. Also Fulwish has like 20-30% more hp against monorem and the confusion doesn't get cleansed at all which is ass.
>>564792745>Yaofags really think she's incapable of being replacedalmost like tribbiefags when Cyrene was in beta
>>564792515This is still the worst tier list ever created, as if their motive should be the sole factor to class them Lygus mogs them all btw.
>>564793812Shartfly truly sharted
>>564793416Yeah I think post op works well
>>564794000>4 cycles with mono remIs fulwish really that bad of a matchup against them?
>>564793876>Another support that can have teammates other than fofo contribute to the artificial aha instant would instantly replace YaoBest-case scenario is that it's gonna be a single-target one like EMC so in SW's case, she's gonna have to decide between booting Sparxie dps and just using forwarding own elation skill or ditch Yao for just Sparxie and hope the elation sustain has an absolute garbage elation skill to make it not as worth..
my 16 cost mono rem team can't clear Plight AA anymore...
>>564794343Obviously this means you should upgrade to 48 cost
Bronya(s) RABUUU!
>>564794167Fulwish succs hp from your frontline everyturne she gets a turn. She's way tankier against monorem because they have higher hp in general + she doesn't really attack that often which means Castorice doesn't charge her ult faster..
>>564793293>>564793405
Anyone else think Planarcadia is kinda kino>? I'm really enjoying how much more "mundane" and urban this feels. The subtle hint of unease and "wrongness" is just comfy.
I should've rolled for her... I'm sorry for calling her bland
>>564794301They can easily make them a teamwide support. There's no reason to think this hypothetical support is going to be single target other than you not wanting or thinking Yao is going to be replaced. Yao is the weakest link aside from fofo in SW's team, it's just not obvious because no shit the dual dps team is going to perform worse with a single target buffer than a hypercarry team
>>564794851>hint of unease and "wrongness" i feel they don't capture this well enough desupenacony had memory zone with eerie music to hammer the vibe but planarcadia lacks something like that
Can't wait for annual report shitposting
>>564794343That's why you need 20 cost.
She's so pretty...
>>564795083Penacony wasn't really subtle. It was pretty obvious something was horribly wrong with the dream from minute one. Also everything being in a dream kinda lowered the stakes. I'm more worried about this unknown Herald of Death since his murders are actually real compared to Robin/FF fakeouts.Don't know if Planarcadia will end up delivering or not but I like what they're setting up.
>>564795236It's not shitposting I just want to share my fofo usage rate...
Holy fuck

>>564795448Sparkle elephant in the room
>>564795552
>>564795083I think that’s just the nature of elation, Aha is all about tragic comedies
>>564795083>penacony had memory zone with eerie musicYeah in all honesty, I’m not very impressed with Planarcadia’s music so far. It isn’t bad or anything, but the overall direction just doesn’t hit the same as Amphoreus or Penacony.
>>564795671>flopping for the 5th timeproofs?
I honestly can't believe HSR and ZZZ are from the same company. How can ZZZ's writing be such incredible dogshit while HSR gets actual well written kino?
>>564795552Hacking piece of shit
>>564786590Literally had multiple e2 ff owners say they were fine through amphoreus you're exposing yourself
Holy cat ass...
>>564794893i thought i would skip her too,, until i played the game
>>564796014GODji shits on zzz clown writers, simple as
>>564794893Amphoreus characters simply have that kind of aura.
>while HSR gets actual well written kino?
But what about Yunli
>>564796406ok you're right, maybe not planarcadia but it's still ok
>>564796406You're supposed to use a non-sparkle image if you're being sincere at pointing something out retard
>>564795867>I’m not very impressed with Planarcadia’s music so far.Uhhh, your seafeld city theme?
>>564796014just the writing difference between Wise and Caelus is embarrassing. Wise is such a charisma void
>>564796568Which is insane because Wise is much more of a character than Caelus is, in terms of story interaction.
>>564796527Why would a character pic dictate the sincerity of something
>>564795448She’s gross and she smells like sewage except canonically
>>564796527Every Sparkle post is sincere.
I take every dialogue option to call Himeko "mom" but she's stopped reacting to it...

>>564796568Okay but is caelus brave enough to do this?

>>564797081>>564797104Cope, Lord Ravagers getting the spotlight was a good idea so people can visually see what they can do instead of only finding them in small descriptions somewhere in the game. Not the game's fault Penacony offered nothing to the endgame.

>>5647969123.7 is the only patch in the entire game that I genuinely HATED the story Some quests has really bad pacing like 2.1, 3.0, 3.2, 3.4 and 3.5My final top is 3.7 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 2.6 > 3.0 > 3.2 > 3.4
>>564797342Is this the trans icon of Hsr?

>>564797932>they're really playing up Skott's death this hard>mfw he gets revived and becomes playable
>>564797932Ah skott… I remember when he was just that rude IPC guy who was made to woof for sushang
Wasn’t 2.3 just two geriatrics sitting on a couch yapping for 3 hours? How is that not the worst story patch in the game by default? No the completely filler finale where the writers woke up and was like “shit we don’t have a climax, uhhhh Sparkle go do something pointless to drum up suspense.” Doesn’t count.
>>564797932I cant believe Skotts actually fucking dead I mean it I cant believe it when is the next gag event
>>564797797We love Planarcadia hereIrontomb barely had relevance. It was 99% anything else (filler shit) and 1% relevant
>>564797932/ourguy/...
>>564797797Only Amphoreus, really. Neither Phantylia nor Irontomb are combat-focused lord ravagers, but Phantylia REALLY is not a fighter.
>>564797746NTA but I dislike 3.4 too. The sequence in Aedes Elysiae was too quick and not presented well enough for Phainon's childhood wangst to be believable. I also hated the fact they let him be a bland faggot for 4 patches before dumping everything on his shill patch, and I fear that is what they are pulling with Himeko right now.
>>564791990IIRC I think it was on the anni stream that the devs are aware that Kuchiba seemed to have a really positive reception from the playerbase so she might get the Sunday treatment and get redesigned in to a playable character down the line
>>564798065Peniscolonoscopy conveniently forgot how bland the planet was
>>564798065But muh Firefly
>>564798065I play Trails. I love geopolitics in my games, bro. >>564798074Asat has everything to become the first good antagonist in this game. I hope he's not another Charmony Dove or Allegory of the Cave.
>>564797652post full build, I just got e2. are you supposed to build differently? back in the day it was just get 150 spd and as much break as possible I think

Love it when firefly does equivalent damage to an E2S1 Acheron ult with just her technique.
How did we go from Lygus to an evil Smiley face?
>not disliking or even outright hating 3.8 This is why we can't have good things in HSR
>>564796912>nobody mentioning 4.xplanarcadia won
>>564798065Don't bother taking story opinions seriously, to most penacony apologists the planet is only 2.0 and white night.
>>564798308Read a bit further, a Lord Ravager pops out from that smiley face
>>564798261>Elation meme man>better than LygusJust saying anything
>>564798308Upgrades bros... Upgrades. Lygus was fucking shit.
>>5647969121. All of amphoreus - it doesn’t matter if the story or characters are good when the game forces you to sit through 10 hour patches at a snails pace presented like a cheap VN2. 2.13. 2.3, was really disappointing and honestly unnecessary. 3.8 did the ending better but brough its own problems along with it
>>564798065Pagfly slurpers gave it a pass for some reason when it's arguably worse than Rappa patch
transphoreus flopped and killed the game
>>564798028One of the comfiest sidequests ever desu

>>564798484>It was good.Retcons are NEVER good. Just admit you fucked up the story and move on, try to do better next time maybe
>>564798374The losing competition, indifference is worse than hate.Every 2.1/3.7/3.8 hater has an opposing fan.4.x patches aren't anyone's favorite.
>>564798407holy shit taste
>>564798615>>564798582>retcon is le badWhy?
The only place I see anyone complain only about Amphoreus is here...
>>564798502Surely you want EMC with Eva.
what causes huekek meltypot this tiem?
>>564798264Still trying to get a better rope. I have 2 builds depending on if I need speed boots or not. This is the atk boots build.
>>5647983942.1 was just as bad as Amphoreus’s pacing and a precursor of what was to come… I like Sigga but man, starting around there Hoyo would inflate the size of those story patches for no reason.
>>564798658weird narrative
>>564798658I can give you Marco's Twitter and Reddit account, he posts the same shit everywhere anyway
>>564798658Almost like the most prominent posters here made penacony characters their personality.
>>564798649Lazy writing. It's fine to admit something was bad. 3.8 could've just been an epilogue instead of "this is what actually happened".
>>564798486kek
>everyone that dislikes amphoreus is my boogeyman
>3.8 >Good>Gave us the retcon cats and was nothing but firefly shilling even though she got shilled plenty in 2.0-2.3 but shartji got cucked from having her be like Cyrene in terms of having the entire arc revolve around herNo matter how hard niggers damage control amphoreus is literally just penacony if it had the entire year to itself as way because the former has the same issues as the latter but more damning due to the length>Inb4 some retard starts frothing at the mouth and this means I like the shitty greece planet
3.0-3.4 were the worst patches because. Everything was pointless. I hate the whole "it's all a simulation plot twist". 38 hours that served no purpose other than selling the characters banners.
>>564798834In this case yeah
Brazilian hands angrily typping in cooldown
>>564798649Because retcons break internal logic of the story and damage the audience's goodwill.
>>564798878>I hate the whole "it's all a simulation plot twist"it was never a twist, it was obvious from the startthe whole point of the arc is that despite being a simulation it all still mattered. i guess fiction inside fiction is just too much for some people to understand as a concept
>gentroon picDidn't read
>>564798935Cope, it's still more well liked than all of shitphoreus and firefly is organically popular and beloved unlike shartrene and uggorice
>>564798834Most posts here bringing amphoreus out nowhere are the same person yes.Not now since people are ranking patches so he's blending into the crowd if you don't have a keen eye like me.
Madam Herta is a peerless gem.
>>564798779What is lazy about it? I do get that PART of 3.8 is fixing some of the issues in 2.x, but how exactly is this bad? And what about the rest of it, which just expands upon what was already set through other points of view?
Planarcadia > Belobog > Penacony > AmphoreusI don’t make the rules >>564798878Was it even supposed to be a twist? I feel like everyone had accepted that it was a simulation in 3.0, except for any of the characters of course
>>564798696Do you?Eva wants to be permanetely on the certified banger state.SW999 wants to raise as much Punchline as possible.At least to me it seems that Yao for Eva and EMC for SW99 makes way more sense.
every time they show Trailblazer with his bat in cinematics I curse them for not buffing his shitty Destruction form
>>564798374I feel every 4.x patch is solid so far. It has the usual issue of verbose expository dialogue but that is not unique to the planet. They also largely improved in pacing and presentation.
>>564798615Have you even read the story? it's not a retcon, dahlia explains everything at the end of the story
>>564798658This is the only place that still remember Amphoreus. Elsewhere, the players have already moved on. They only talk about Phainon and it's the fujos/yumes or shounenfags doing powerscalling
>>564799014Nah, he is still pretty obvious even now
I need to lick Fu Xuans pits
3.8 is dogshit by virtue of them upscaling wormdayFuck off
>>564799039>Sparkle imageRemember to treat this like a post from bizarro world, this poster just wants attention
>>564799121many are saying this
>>564798989Just because that is the intention of the story doesn’t automatically make it a compelling story anon. I would care just as much about Amphoreus whether it was a simulation or a time loop or whatever, and ultimately it being a simulation did not matter since we know the Heirs are going to be real eventually
>>564799045>Eva wants to be permanetely on the certified banger state.And what do you think happens when you action advance her with Sparkle?
>>564799084>the players have already moved on.Yeah, by dropping the game lmao
>>564799069Agreed. I like Amphoreus but I'll readily admit a lot of it was a slog. Planarcadia pacing is WAAAAAAY better at least so far.
>>564798989It's not just about being "fiction within fiction." It's about 40 hours that serve no purpose in the overall plot and that it will never continue in the future. HSR has millions of interesting places to explore and they wasted 40 hours with "fiction inside fiction". Fuck this game
>>564799070>dahlia explains everything at the end of the story>1 year AFTER 2.x >"ACKSHUALLY, it all went down like this, you just forgot everything"how is this not a lazy fucking retcon?
>Fulwish is ultimately a victim of a society obsessed with spectaclesHits a bit too close to post-social media real life where people care more about what gives them the most dopamine rush than what's actually true
>Lord Ravagers are powerful!!!!>Phantylia appears and jobs>Umm, Lord Ravagers ARE strong! It wasn't her full power.>Zephyro is strong!!!>Welt can fight him>Phainon solo'd him>I-I-It doesn't count!>I-Irontomb!!>Jobs to TB who jobs to fodder enemies.When will the story live up to the lore?
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
>>564799206course not but your takeaway is completely wrong especially if you think it was a twist of some sort that it's a simulation, they were VERY on the nose with it from the start>ultimately it being a simulation did not matter since we know the Heirs are going to be real eventuallythere's no correlation between these two events>>564799271>HSR has millions of interesting places to explorethat also serve no purpose in the "overall plot"there's no point in learning about things like wispae or imaginae or the history of planarcadia for example yet we do it stillsame goes for all luofu lore and all penacony lore, the relevance to the "overall plot" is zerothe entire point of trailblazing is exploring new places and learning about them and their people>that it will never continue in the futurei wonder how many times do they need to spell this one out for you
>>564799224Amphoreus legacy>>564799271It would be less torturous if the heirs weren't so fucking boring
>>564798727that's pretty crazy. I guess I could get something similarish. how much speed exactly do you need for standard stuff?
Nobody is passionate about Planarcadia best you can say is that it's easier to digest for people that don't want a story to get invested into.
>you now remember that the Trailblazer was “already dead” in Amphoreus
I just played the penacony retcon yesterday so it's fresh in my mind, it was dogshit, completely unnecessary and I couldn't wait for Dahlia to just fuck off "you did this you did that" no shit bitch it's like she's talking to a person with Alzheimer's despite us remembering everything cuz it wasn't 10 years ago>forced to rewatch cutscenes>forced to listen to this bitch nobody cares about>forced to redo parts of the story from another perspective for no necessary reasonFUCK retcons FUCK forced redoings FUCK multiple perspectives if you just didn't made the story rich enough at release then admit defeat and move on, make a better story next time but don't try to paint it as "oh well actually this dogshit story was actually good let me show you now that you already played it" fuck off

If you like the firefly fan service than that's perfectly; just don't say it was a good story patch outside of that
>>564799470It’s 2 patches in anon
>>564799440>same goes for all luofu lore and all penacony lore, the relevance to the "overall plot" is zeroBoth are really relevant for the current arc and can be revisited anytime in the future since they were not deleted from the worldbuilding A new Amphoreus will be born where all that useless lore about the place will be in vain since there's no Dark Tide anymore and the events will be different.
>>564799452It depends on if you have DDD/Fugue E2 or not. This is what I followed. https://www.reddit.com/r/FireflyMains/comments/1shifkl/firefly_novaflare_aa_full_speed_reqs/
I still haven't played 3.8 lol
>>564798649Was there a need for the retcon other than kill Acheron's screentime?
>>564799470Just because you are personally obsessed with a bitch from Amphoreus doesn't mean other people can't get invested in something else. I know who you are from the lack of punctuation before a period.
>>564799782No one cares about your man faced tranny who permanently killed this game
>>564799761>Both are really relevant for the current arccan you, for example, tell me the amount of times Hanu's story has been referenced in the current arc, or perhaps the internal politics of the Luofu?
>>564799769Me neither
>>564799769Me but with:2.62.7And 3.8All certified “watch the cutscenes on YouTube” patches. And I love Rappa
>>564799650>YES, IDRILA IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL OF THEM ALL>while Dahlia and Black Swan are standing right next to himkek Kakaurine was really desperate
I did everything in Planarcadia already. Every side quest, every puzzle, every chest. The side quest with Fugue and SW is the fucking peak. Belobog/Penacony level of peak.
>>564799854>perhaps the internal politics of the Luofu?Blade's capture is literally part of their internal politics as well as the shuhu/abundance shit
God we need a better support than fugue for sustainless firefly. Her being forced to run EHR body instead of HP/DEF like every other support makes her so squishy. Just had to reset AA 3 times because she kept getting killed.
>>564797337
>>564800032It's not internal politics of the Luofu but the Xianzhou as a whole and hasn't been referenced before.
>>5648000500 cycle troons deserve to suffer
>>564799782Acheron's role in the story was quite small in retrospect and 3.8 didnt really change any of that.
>>564799683you now remember that we are already 3 patches in and that amphoreus already had its first in-game animated short at this point
mem rape
>>5647994763.8's take on Irminsul was awful and it's even worse considering the patch was a result because 3.0 backlash. It's so bad that hoyo had to backstep and downplay 3.8 during 4.x.
>>564800194No...
>>564800107I just want the cosmetic :(
>>564800170I dont think Blade will get one desu so we have to wait till 4.4....
>>5648002183.8 was literally a response to the complaints about 2.x being rushed and not ended in a satisfying way. They literally said in the Livestream they announced it
>>564799854Are you genuinely comparing some shit mascot that's rarely mentioned in the story with 40 hours of useless lore? Really? I don't remember Hanu consuming 3-4 hours of story because his people are a bunch of immigrants who don't know how to behave in other people's country.KYS ANON
>>564799476My favorite part is how they fixed some plotholes while introduced other plotholes
>>564800157Her role was understandably small because her entire shtick was just “solve the current immediately by killing then with a single swing of her 1000times folded Nihility sword”. They had to immediately kick her out of the story in 2.2 because she would instantly solve all the problems in 2.2
>>564800019>belobog level of peakSo fucking shit?
>>564799683it's 3 actuallyalso by the time amphoreus was in its third patch there was already die hard fags invested in what's gonna happen later in the story but I don't see the same interest in planarcadia. You can say you are interested in a character and seeing more of them on screen but the planarcadia story itself doesn't have anyone defending it or shilling it as hard as amphoreus ffags did a year ago
wish I could exchange Herta for a 10 pull...
zzzGODS effortlessly turned the thread against each other
>>564800326>I don't remember Hanu consuming 3-4 hours of storythen you probably didn't play Penacony throughclearly you didn't understand the point, but at least you admitted that the local lore is equally useless in every planet
>>564796912From most incorrigible to utterly irritating:1. The Saga of Castorice’s Entire Life2. Every Moment Aglaea Was On Screen: An Anthology3. Tribbie’s Wild Ride4. The Evernight Fables5. An Introduction to Space China
>>564800170This patch did not warrant one, and thank god we didn’t if it was just going to be a pity-bait fest like Castorice’s
>>564800393I only saw rabid Evafags so far and it's mostly about her not being a main push kek
I hope Balde Negro is good
>>564800319>3.8 was literally a response to the complaints about 2.x being rushed and not ended in a satisfying wayAnd hoyo was retarded for caving in. They introduced more problems then they solved with 3.8 and it's going to bite them in the ass further down the line
>>564800393>3.2>People investedLMAOOI clearly remember people hating Amphoreus until 3.4 (aka the skip button where they skipped the bad parts and only "read" the fights).
>quintet lore doesn't count as luofu politics it's le xianzhou politics as whole!>Even though it's actions have politically shaped the current luofuHoly kek. You really are just a bad faith Amphoreus shill and you can't even hide it.
>>564800514I hope his ult makes him black
>>564799418But TB jobbed to Irontomb first though. Actually, a decent portion of the galaxy did till Herta connected to Nous. Hell, an Aeon was the only reason why you managed to make a comeback.
>>564800393Amphoreusfags don't like anything else about this game other than amphoreus which is why they shill and defend it so much
>>564800170>in-game animated shortIrrelevant as it does nothing but repeat the exact same point about Castorice's le sad past they already told. They could have forced SW's animation into the game just to shill her the same way Castorice's was, but I'm glad they didn't.
Reminder a good chunk of posters here haven't looked at as I've written. They'll still call the heirs bland even though even Hysilens and Cerydra have more characterization than 90% of the cast.
>>564800218>>564800524Found the pic of the stream he was talking about
>>564800597No one here has read as I’ve written btw. Just like how no one read the ampho DU lore tidbits about the titans.
>>564800597Imagine saying that without irony.
>>564800524>it's going to bite them in the ass further down the lineIt won't because literally no one gives a shit about Penacony. The only noteworthy Penacony resident already joined the Express.
>>564800541ACKtually, it was 3.3 where you sat through Hyacine's boring and irrelevant backstory for most of the patch but it's all good because the boss fight had hype moments and aura
>>564800393Amphoreus was pretty bad up until Phainon's story. Anaxa's patch was okay, I guess, but it was hard carried by his personality. Castorice, Mydei, Cerydra, Hysillens and Hyacine's plot was just... bleh. Even Evernight was kinda bad.
Why does EN SW999 sound like she's a heavy smoker and have something stuck inside her throat?https://x.com/honkaistarrail/status/2048205421647700070?s=20https://x.com/honkaistarrail/status/2048205421647700070?s=20
>>564800319I don’t know why their solution was to redo the main Penacony story, it was fine and just needed that extra scene at the end on Jade’s ship. Ofc writers will have their favorites but it was kind of pretentious how hard they were shilling firefly during the whole thing, and completely gutting Acheron’s role as our navigator through the dream and reality.
>>564800545>it's actions have politically shaped the current luofuwhich also has zero relevance to the current arc, meaning it's pointless according to you
>>564800393Who are you lying to? The only thing people were invested in during early Amphoreus was Phaidei. Nobody even cares about Castorice when she came out and this place regularly made fun of her boorubux vs Firefly's within the same time frame.
>>5648005243.8 exists because shartji wanted white Elysia to have all the spotlight, something she couldn't have penacony's original run
>>564800393They did not like your fact
>>564800493it didn't warrant one because the story just isn't interesting enough>>564800393amphoreus had much worse lows than planacadia so far, the overall story telling is much better now but also nothing really interesting happened yet>>564800541>>564800760did you just completely memory hole the peak that was 3.3? I know that that's not just my opinion lol
>>564800597no one is reading your AI generated book
>>564799561I haven’t played 16 but my understanding is that there are two interpretations of this scene.The first is that the main plot is indeed a fictional story and it isn’t any deeper than that.The second is that the book is actually a retelling of events that did actually happen and it was written a long time ago, so long ago that it’s now considered a fairy tale by the people in-universe.
Bananapatch was fucking kino and I'm tired of pretending it was not
>>564800709Nobody cares about your Fu xuan
>>564800781>gamer goddoesn't she cheat literally every time we play against her
>>564800597>NOO BRO... YOU NEED TO READ THIA BOOK TELLING ABOUT THE HEIRS PERSONALITY If it's so important, why don't they SHOW it?
So what I'm getting is that the only people who disliked 3.8 are the few Acheron fans
>>564800781because it's EN
>>564800740
Which HSR girl would resort to prostitution if she got ported to real life and turned into a normal woman by having all of her power stripped from her?
>>564800567The IPC had distributed a vaccine through most of the galaxy that protected them from the effects of Irontomb's awakening. Only Talia and some other shithole actually got hit by it instead of not counting as "offline" for Irontomb.
>>564800319Thing is, they didn't need to redo shit. Just do a follow-up on whatever happened afterwards instead of the retconslop we got and try to tie loose ends from there.
>>564800524It doesn't matter, Shaoji will eventually do some other story bullshit that completely rocks the boat. You think Cyrene remaking the entire cosmos is going to be the last ridiculous thing you see in HSR until EOS? Fat chance.
>>564800879It's not cheating if you don't get caught.
>>564800541you are developing alzheimer's it looks like
>>564800834Dude everyone knew what would happen in 3.3, a good song and even Hyacine doesn’t save it from being a boring story patch
>>564800781>En voices
>>564800760Evernight was the only good thing about Amphoreus
>>564800834>3.3>PeakYou can really have one nice fight and suddenly the entire patch becomes good
>>564800906Literally no one liked 3.8 apart from yuritroons and firefly fags because of the in universe retcons being a thing now and killing any reason to care about the story
>>564800903>Entire planet about TB writing a book>I'll skip thatAre you serious?
Where the fuck is Vita I'm getting blueballs from all this teasing
Why is this general filled with writing powerscalers?>no bro look my character is better than yours because they suffered for a trillion of years look at this character developmentNot how it works I think
>>564800958Lil Gui is already a prostitute
>>564800962I'm still mad they never showed what happened outside Amphoreus other than audio logs that were only fan translated.
>Amphoreus hijacked the discussion againLmao
>>564800597yesterday I went through the painstaking effort of just spamming left click and skipping through all chapters to get the jadesare you seriously trying to tell me that evernights entry isn't utter dogshit? lmao
Amphoreus was shit early desu. Like I didn't even play past 3.0 until 3.4 released. I kinda cheated since I just powered through the bland 3.1 and 3.2 until I got to the actually good 3.3 and 3.4.The latter half of Amphoreus was all good imo. Just the start was terrible.
>>564800834>did you just completely memory hole the peak that was 3.3?You mean Aquila's stuff? I mean, Hyacine was cute, but...
>>564801078soon
>>564801084>having actual characterization and story is now "writer powerscaling"bro just typing shit at this point
>>564799470Planarcadia has been so much better than Amboreus but they should be leaning into their most interesting character a lot more
>>564800906I liked the new climax because it’s objectively better. It ties the many side plots of Penacony together into a cohesive final boss instead of “Firefly is here and she will die and now she’s not, and she died off screen and now she is back” and “IPC is here and one of them killed themselves on live TV, and this has nothing to do with the final boss fight against Order”
>>564800862Yeah I thought it was decent. I like how Rappa is essentially doing the whole ninja thing as a coping mechanism to distance herself from the abuse she suffered, and that her “master” is just the rogue scientist who put the idea in her head to protect her.
>>564801137>3.5-3.7 >GoodKys
>>564800781Pretty sure it's an amerilard black tranny doing SW voice in EN
>>564800597all that characterisationAll those hours of Amphoreus story time(more than any previous planet btw!)Yet somehow Shaoji couldn't find the time to show it on screen properly while being too busy shilling specific characters so he has to dump it in readables and you're gonna pretend that makes Amphoreus GOOD?
>>564801031>>564801050yes people will fondly remember the highest hights and will just forget about the dogshit partsnobody will ever care about a story that is just mediocre but atleast never shit
>>564800524>>564800319>>5648006563.8 ended up being more polarizing and controversial than the whole "penacony was too short" thing.
I was thereWe all started to like amphoreus in 3.1
Whenever I enter the Amphoreus Epilogue area and the music begins to play I get all emotional.If I could myself amnesia to experience the story all over again I would do it in a heartbeat.
>>564800903They did. You just skipped everything because you’re autistic.
>>564801119no no you see, we are all invested on Planarcadia
>>564800573Truly reminds me of certain angelfags in GBF or even Sumerufags in Genshin. I despise people that can't accept they are playing a gacha where the focus will always shift to the next new thing the devs want to sell. Like just jump off a building or something if you dislike everything other than your very specific object of obsession so much.
>>564801084I'm used to it after Trails did the same thing before Rufus back stabbed Arianrhod. Then powerlevel discussions were thrown aside and became "who's the biggest jobber" discussions. Those were the 2018-present day /fg/ days. Also, 52 hours of Amphoreus is nothing compared to what people had to suffer for 4 games of CS and a plot stall in the Calvard arc.
Uh oh, Marco xelty
>>564801084Why does slopji do it then?
>>564800397This but with Evernight, Castorice, Robin, and Feixiao
>>564801119Marco HAS to make everything about Amphoreus.
>>564801319Not a problem in FGO btw
>>564797561
>>564789978hear me out, hyperspeed Sunday with vonwacq, uses skill once on Eva to get the crit rate, ult's on her and then only skills on Yao instead while using ult on Eva
>>564800597The entire book is just 70% old info and 30% new info though. And of that some of them are a few anecdotes at best. If you paid attention to the story you dont miss much if you didnt read through the book
>>564801175you cannot gaslight me about 3.3 and I know that the majority agrees with me that everything about the climax in 3.3 was peak
>>564801183It just feels like another field to use for shit throwing rather than honest like/dislike
>>564801273Yes because you and the other overly aggressive dude twist my words into saying all their character is hidden in the book when the patches themselves are dense enough you can get a good grasp on all their personalities compared to the average character from another planet
>>564800862I do think bananapatch is the worst in history but it is 100% due to execution. The ideas and characters explored in it are pretty cool. If you take Dr. Primitive's codex entries on their own, the whole thing is cool as shit.
>>564801273this guy will also complain about how character quests are a part of the main story now
What was the best story arc in hsr so far
>>564801289Honestly 3.7 is more polarizing than 3.8 in both gameplay and story
>>564801398Raikouschizo behaved the exact same way and I'm glad the game BTFOs him into complete schizophrenia.
>Amphoreus >32 results>Planarcadia>18 results
What did Cipher even do in the story? Aside from being the cutest cat in the game
>>564801532Amphoreus! We all love Amphoreus here!
>>564801532Amphoreus
>>564800573Belobog is so good no one cares about it unless it's to say it was good because of the song.Luofu is Luofu.Penacony was so bad the devs came out and said it then tried to salvage it with Dahlia.No one even cares about Planarcadia or its characters.
>>564801538why are you dropping the most luke warm take in history like its some sort of revelation
>>564800851you are correct, that's the only two conclusions you can get out of that ending and it's up to you to pick which one you like. But that didn't stop some retards to get mad at the game cause for some reason fiction within fiction, even when not explicitly stated to be the case, still triggers a major reaction out of people.It's wild to me that people lose their shit when you remind them that the piece of fiction you are consuming is indeed fiction
>>564801591There's an entire cutscene about that
Shitrene ruined Amphoreus, it would have been a near masterpiece if it only focused on Phainon without all the cringe pinkshit filler.
>>564801587
>>564801591She carried the first cycle on her back and sacrificed herself for itIn the second one she teamed up with our fuarking hero Anaxa
>>564801587>Cony>25 results
>>564801445You talking about when hebe Cyrene first shows up while TruE plays for a bit?>>564801183You get used to it after playing Trails.>>564801591In the cycle we knew, uhh, made sure that Okhema lasted for a thousand years instead of the original three hundred years to make sure the Flame Chase journey succeeded?
>>564801532I literally, unironically, actually, sincerely, for real liked Luofu 1 the most
3.7 is the best patch this game has ever had
>>564801273This. No one, not a single person in this thread can explain what Evernight is
>Amphoreus>TLoU2>Crimson Desert>FF16>MetaphorThese games are my litmus test for someone's taste. They all have one thing in common btw
>>564801445I think the final map of 3.3 is neat aesthetically, plus a few of the Anaxa sections, but that is a very small slice of the overall story of that patch. And Aquila itself isnt explored like, at all. Almost feels like cut content.
in retrospective, there is not a single well done planet. Writing's actually kinda shit huh?>inb4 belobogkys
>>564801591She died, a lot.
>>564801690Before the rewrites apparently Phainon was going to have a more important role with Irontomb, I wish they didn’t just toss him to the side after his patch
>>564801772alter ego march from the past whose sole purpose is to unconsciously protect march from her past
>>564801690This but unironically. Most people defending the planet actually only like that skank and will convulse when you remind them who is the character people actually like the most out of that planet.
>>564801532Penacony. Including 3.8.
>>564801532I like Amphoreus.I like the IDEA of Penacony but I was disappointed about the arc.I dont care about the others to have any opinion
>>564799767ty. 158 spd with sustainless DDD Ruan Mei, plus some luck got me the last star, nice. can't go Atk boots thought, don't have relics that godly.
I personally liked everything save for luofu 1 even if I did find the quintet stuff interesting, I still don't get what the fucking happened there. Space china 2 was much better. I don't really have strong thoughts on Belobog apart from finding seele and cocolia sexy
People who want good writing already left for WuWa
>>564801532No other planet made me cry.
>>564801591She stopped everything collapsing earlier in the cycle with her lie then decided she needed to kill herself right at the most inconvenient time against flamereaver to make everything collapsing again to make things more dramatic and force Hyacine to stop getting screentime.
>>564801074I wouldn't mind the lore breaking stuff if Elio was in the quest alongside Constance. 3.8 is like the Dainsleif quests but without him.
>>564801532They're all mediocre. It's the reason the skip button was added.They've long given up. They're doing you all a favor to just enjoy the animations
>>564801591very fast kot running at incredible hihg speed
>>564801808There's Planarcadia
>>564801532I have none so far as the game is badly written in general, but I like what Planarcadia is shaping up to be
>>564801532Ampho
>>564801532Personally Belobog just because of how simple things were without having to switch perspectives every time.
>>564801690>>564801865No one cares about your anal wormA cringe yet serviceable piece of fuck meat to look at all >>>> some white haired faggot taking it up the ass in the sauna
>>564800597Cerydra always had characterization though?People thought she and Anaxa were the only characters that weren't bland.
>>564801532amphoreusplanarcadia still has potential and the worst parts are much better than other regions, but I need something interesting to happen soon man
>>564801971Ummmm based?? I will now play through all of Amphoreus just for her
None of you actually cry for a gacha game story, right?
>>564801532Mr Pokke said it was amphoreus
>>564801915Nice.
>>564801532Belobog for being a concise story without unnecessary purple prose littering the dialogues.
>>564800958Sparkle and Silverwolf but the later would only sell lewds of herself
>>564802147I cried a lot during the ending of Amphoreus...
Do (You) dislike the IPC?
>>564802229I did during the animated short
>>564802229Me too...
>>564802147I cried during>Neuvillette's SQ>HSR 3.6>HSR 3.7
>>564802147I cried during Tigh's SQ and during the Natlan summer event when Benny met his parents
>>564802147I cried when Neuvillette forgave the sins of the Fontainians. Also when it rained at the end of 4.0
>>564801532Obviously Amphoreus. Shartcony was so bad they had to apologize and oldslop is outdated.
>>564802115Most people care about him moreso than any femorrhoid from that planet. In fact most of the dissent towards 3.7 came from his fans.
>>564802142sir that's a wolf, not a kot
>>564802147Gacha stories are shit for crying because no one fucking diesI literally just rewatched a scene of someone dying in code geass and it made me tear up
>>564802248Nope, I don't really have a reason to seethe at space jews
If you want a good and memorable story you need aura. DBZ. Bleach. Naruto. JJK. One Piece. Fairy Tail. HxH. Frieren. All aura. All will be talked about fondly for decades to come. Hoyoverse fails to understand this simple concept for their audience. Acheron? Phainon? Aura.Cyrene? Pagfly? Cringe incarnate.
>>564802229I live and die by the animated shortsits the only reason why I remember hi3 so fondly, I basically just played through dogshit to reach the next animated short
>>564802248I like it when they dont whitewash them
>>564801532Hyacinema. Amphoreus would’ve been genuinely irredeemable without the Aquila raid and Lygus carrying the entire story
>>564801808Not a problem in FGO btw
>>564802332>I literally just rewatched a scene of someone dying in code geass and it made me tear upShirley?
>Marco cowering behind GODnon trying to use him as a shieldKEKKYPOW
>>564802313But enough about the arc that was so badly received it forced them retroactively add skip button. Not even Luofu warranted that for all the dirt it got.
>>564802332Not a problem in fgo btw
>>564802352I don’t think anyone has talked about Fairy Tail in 6 years
>>564802352we have stronger characters than anyone in those series therefore we have the most aura
>>564802320What were kots once? Wolfs!
>>564802446I don't think you need to spoiler her death scro, we've all watched Code Geass here
>>564802352>Acheron>Auranot anymore, no
>>564802352>Hoyoverse fails to understand this simple concept for their audience.bro your genshin world quests?
>>564802473I would love to play through genshin and its lore but I just cannot do if without being able to skip the slop partsbest thing that has happened to hsr
Fuck powerscalers. I'm a revenuescaler. Acheron is the strongest because it FOLDED Genshin, ZZZ and HI3 by becoming the most profitable banner since Hoyo's inception.
>>564802471Not your boogeyman and I have always liked him. GODnon is an appropriate name for the best part of Amphoreus and the character carrying it throughout its run. You may praise him more.
I laughed more during other planets than in the elation planet
>>564802517uhh...
None of the planets' story are good because of its nature of being a gacha game.>Buy this new character because he/she is now the strongest of the bunch>Biggest impact so far, only to be never seen again>everyone is emanator levelNo amount of written lore dump can heal the fact that the main story will always be subpar because of it being a gacha
Desu I cried during some of the story idola but they legit killed characters off even if you could roll them.hell, a few of the characters got alts and they were made into force ghosts, summer Gerda actually being happy made me cry
>>564802517hmm... I wonder about that
I cried during Fata Morgana and Utawarerumono Mask of Truth
>>564802637raiden sold more, and raiden isn't even the best selling genshin character
she's so cute bwos!I can't take it!
>>564802667it's not meant to be entertaining to you, it's meant to be entertaining for Aha
I didn’t cry but I was emotionally devastated when kot and Aglaea died
>NOOOO gacha stories aren't good and can't make you feel thingsYet fgo and BA doesn't have these problems, even poowa doesn't have this issue. It sounds like a hoyo issue...
>>564802693silverwolf barely appeared in her own shill patch and asat pramad made fun of everyone being fake eminators
>>564802679…you know I’m right
Who the FUCK is Kuchiba?
>>564802446YesFor some reason youtube has been recommending me code geass clips so i went to check the episode where she dies and goddamn it still holds on despite the last time i rewatched code geass was like in 2019
>>564802820Meh I dislike that they offscreened her death. Mydei's death was underwhelming as well, the only one that hits was Kot's
>>564802830Why are you playing these games rhen
>thread is most active when discussing Amphoreus
y'all fucking miserable
>insane poowa sneak
>>564802780Those needn't be brought up here in /vn/bro. Bar is abyss low here they even mention shounens
>>564802927General reflects the state of the game. Amphoreus killed hsr and these threads
I just realized something. Amphoreus is the only planet to have people talking about the actual story and characters.Before that people would only talk about vague things or things not related to the story.Belobog's plot, lore, and characters were never discussed after leaving the planet.Luofu was called irrelevant and ignored.Penacony's story and lore like the Family, the connection to the AE, and other lore never mattered to people and the entire discussion was always the FF date, twitter or other drama, and Aven monologuing.Then for Amphoreus people finally started to do a deep dive into every single character and plot point and now they still can't stop talking about it.
>>564802907??? they didnt off-screen aglaea did you skip through half the story?
Destruction is a cringe path
>>564802830Nigga, you cried to FGO? The only good thing I've ever felt in that dogshit plot was nostalgia for the actual good stories of the universe.
>>564802926I love Amphoreus
>>564802997You must be new
>>564802486No one really actually dies in FGO when they can be brought back, or the fact they are just a copy of the real thingMusashi is the only one who "died" for years and her death was the cringiest shit i've saw, i remember some anons even linking some japanese tweets making fun of the death scene dialogue options.
>>564802997t. only came to these threads during 3.x. Why make your newfaggotry so obvious?
>>564802997and then people call it irrelevant rumao
>>564802926We all love Amphoreus
Acheron saved Penacony, Acheron saved Amphoreus, now we need Acheron to save Planarcadia
>>564801620>Proving his point
>>564802997that's when you know that Amphoreus was at the very least the most interesting even if it wasn't perfect, the playable cast was also really good and synergized well with one another
>>564802147I cried when Kiana and Mei finally kissed, unironically.
Made in abyss capital arc mods everything this game has
>>564803004If you want to be dishonest with her bracelet dropping to the lava then I'm not interested in engaging further. What's with you retards and being a completely disingenuous motherfucker when someone doesn't glaze everything about what you like?
>>564803131Retconned Never happenedWho?
>>564802997This place during Penacony was not usable. The threads lasted 30 minutes at best. We hate Amphoreus here and we can explain ourselves this time since the game is almost dead
>>564802997Legendary TRVKEx will probably carryover to the next thread
We all rolled PhainonWe all rolled CastoriceWe all rolled CyreneWe all loved Amphoreus
>>564803004He was probably referring to her death by Caenis. I don’t count it because she’s still technically living on in the bracelet. And Aglaea’s machinations are still going full steam ahead. To me, her real death is when the bracelet is dropped into the lava, because that is when Aglaea’s final machination is over and she is truly dead at that point.
Musashi is still better written than anyone in HSR

>>564803370Maybe in planet retard
>>564803276Nigga we just wanted to beat current endgame at the time.
>>564801137nah the start was good, it was actual uncharted territory instead of some city or attraction
>>564803246that is obviously the real death that also fulfills her prophecy and it did get the moment it deserved in the storyshe was still able to communicate and interact with the world around her afterwards
If they don't make a second Yao I'm gonna go insane horizontal investment bros...
>>564803246When people say "offscreened" they mean a character just dying randomly and it just being briefly mentioned by others in passingYou see the killers pull up to Aglaea, she didn't get "offscreened" just because they didn't show the moment of stabbing itself
>>564803435why'd you mention amphoreus?
>>564803276This but I skipped Phainon (he's still cool)
I'm neutral to all of this but I find funny how the brazilian becomes psychotic about the subject
>>564802997>Then for Amphoreus people finally started to do a deep dive into every single character and plot point and now they still can't stop talking about it.It was so shit that people can't stop complaining about it
I miss amphoreus
But what about Planarcadia?

>expect to lose last CW 3-7 fight because i have +40hp death recover>winsFUCK YOU i should sell whole team
This is probably the only place I still see talk about amphoreus.
>>564803581I liked the trailblazer learning about the emanators they met
>>564803581Planarwhodia?
>>564803246>the actual death that fulfills her death prophecy doesn't count because of the explicitly fake death that left her still able to interact with the rest of the world
>super early pinkshit sneak
>>564803581A what
>>564799008someone organically popular wouldnt make a shit ton of people quit tho
>>564803548Why don't people talk about the Luofu all year then?
>>564803712Gonna cry :)?
>>564803849We talked in 1.X newfag
>>564803581bnuuy sex!
>>564803912It's 4.2 and you still talk about 3.xNo one was talking about luofu in 2.x.
But what are the flaws about Planarcadia story so far that stand out to you? For me its how the authorities refused to investigate what exactly happiness surgery even was, even though they knew a lot of people of getting it. Like someone was putting 'something' in 200 000 citizens and Pearl didn't know what it was and didn't care until the Dovebrook slaughter started linking to the smiles society. Like what the heck, at least just say 'oh they lied about what the treatment was' the Security Bureau or Department of Aberrations didn't even ask lol.
>>564802147I don’t cry, ever.
>>564804409I just don't care about it as much as I shouldnothing truly interesting is happening
>>564802904“I will not let you call that a lie” still lives in my head rent free
