>>580281849I love how Lamp started kicking the door down first before talking.
>>580281849"We want the genshin audience" type designs.
>>580285176Literally none of these characters look like Genshin.
>>580251826No guarantee we'll ever get it, and even if we do, I'd stop there anyway. Especially if there's just more random side quests afterward.>>580262212It's demonstrably more popular than many want to admit.
Am I being dumb or has it just been poorly explained/transistioned?This entire section hasn't made any sense to me. Things just keep getting dumped on me and I'm not making the connections.
>>580289109yeah well this is like 3 arcs mushed into one so that's understandableleylah tried to unperson (You) and you're just taking your powers and body back
>>580289860Yeah, that's what I thought it was trying to explain, I think the sudden jump to being the ball and working it out backwards made it feel way more awkward than it needed to.
>>580280675Good to see official pictures being used as OP. I never liked that fanart faggotry
>>580291754>fanart faggotryWhat a weird thing to get mad at.
>>580291754sometimes official artworks do not really look like birthday celebrations

>>580280675Bita gets to fuck this.This gets to fuck Bita.
>>580291934>>580291994I have OCD.
So, am I correct in my understanding that Leylah has been dead this whole time then?
>>580293829ye
>>580294645That's actually really sad. Being Leylah is suffering.
>>580294730it's okay, it sounds like it was instant
>>580280675Kira breading
Okay, say what you want about Part 2, but it's final boss blows Part 1's final boss out of the fucking water. That was honestly a blast.
>>580296380Yeah, shame about the whole thing being rushed but that part landed real good.
Leylah should've landed on my penis.
kianya and chinkiana have lines for sena op
>>580297079I'm honestly shocked at how well they wrapped up Part 2 considering how messy it's been. It's clearly been rushed to hell and back, but I'm still satisfied with the ending, they did a good job of calling back to events of the Part 2, and the recontextualisation of Leylah was actually pretty well done and allowed for a "good" ending without it feeling completely out of left field.In some ways I think it surpases Part 1's Finale, though Graduation Trip is such a hard carry for Part 1 which Part 2 really missed out on. It helps Part 2 that I cared more about Leylah than I ever did care for Kebin.
Part 7 Bronya will learn to walk
This made me tear up.
>>580301761Seele!And Buronya onee-chan!
>>580299497P2's finale is a better finale for p2 than p1's finale was for p1. This doesn't mean the p2 finale was good. It means the p1 finale was so shit that other things seem better in comparison. Regardless, good riddance to both parts. It's all going to be epilogue filler from this point on.
It's a shame, really. When p1 ended, I didn't enjoy the ending at all, but I was still invested in whatever would come next. P1.5 was...meh, but had a few interesting moments, and I was glad to leave it behind for p2. P2 turned out to be, well, we already know, and now I have virtually no more interest in anything that might happen from now on. Only maybe APHO3, and there's no guarantee we'll ever reach it and no guarantee it will be any good. After the 10th anniversary is a good time for me to set the game down and move on.
>Interested in APHOHoyo fans have never had standards.
>>580303203They're interested in Mei, Bronya, Seele, and other popular characters fighting off an alien invasion, yes.
Kiana is not popular, she can stay dead
>>580303482Seele didn't appear in APHO though.
>>580303650She's confirmed to be the leader of one of the squads that Theresa called in at the end. Veliona likely is too. A lot of people were looking forward to seeing them.
>Veliona
>>580303482I only see one popular character
Actually, only Veliona is a squad leader, but there’s no way only she would show up without Seele also pitching in.
twittercord tourist self report #7395913
At the end of the day, p1 characters will always be more popular than p2.
Yeah, people quit at the end of p1 and p1.5. They'll quit at the end of p2 too.

>>580306478Helia is so lucky...
Part 2 needed an animated short to change the narrative.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=otSSgGbJpZkrate
>>580313251literally 0 effort on the audio
>>580304485Where are the part 2 characters?
Hard to gain attention and visibly without the animated shorts and songs. You'd never know what’s happening in p2 if you weren't already playing it yourself. The shorts were better trailers for the game than the actual version trailers.
Animated shorts for Adam NTRing Mei...
>>580280774!eleeS
P1.5 and p2 were glorified side quests, not parts of a cohesive narrative.
>>580281849Uncensored coomerslop that abandoned Genshin. For success and profit, they need a male playable character who gets a harem.
>>580287191That's exactly the problem and why they aren't popular. They're uncensored coomer designs without Genshin references like Aponia and not wielding Genshin weapons like bows.
>>580303203A male protagonist who gets a harem is exactly what the game needs. The lifeblood of HI3 is Genshin references like seeing Otto see into Genshin. Without Genshin, censorship, harems, male characters, power creep, and other fan beloved features like 50/50s, this game can't win.
"Zzzeele"...
Have even 10,000 people in the west played all of p2 while paying close attention and reading everything carefully? It doesn't feel like it with p2's almost complete lack of an online presence.
>>580321925The recent ticket event showed at least 50k plus players were still playing part 2 or something.
>>580324069Have a screenshot? And obviously not every player pays attention to the story.
>>580325148cute doggo
>>580325148>yuriThis makes anon unhappy
Explain all the feet
La la la~
Kiana smells like cum
At this point, I wish some studio releases a new Precure or even a Symphogear ARPG game. The Chinese have proven themselves to be untrustworthy when it comes with bishoujo games. Not everything has to become genshit and yet here we are.
Sell Honkai to Nasu and force him to work
NTA but I just want a good yuri game. P1 was yuri, P2 became yuri, that was great. Shit like the Rimestar Arc, Kolosten, EE and the Moon was unfortunate.APHO doesn't exist.
I wish to release inside of Seele.And "Seele"!

Theresa is so cute....
and her ass is fat
the CODM collab really does highlight the stark and glaring differences between nuHonkai post-Genshin and pre-Genshin eras. If you told me that part 2 and all of its attempt to gentrify the game for the unwashed masses was the future of Honkai 3rd back in 2020 and that the mobile slop version of Call of Duty would do more justice to the game than 2026 Mihoyo, I would never have believed you.
who asked
Such a retarded twittranny tourist reply
I hope Mihoyo's having fun placating the "no bunnysuits" genshittoid crowd as they spiral down towards irrelevancy. When the co-founder and previous CEO would rather choose to leave the company and relegating himself as an independent AI developer in Singapore, you know there's a problem.
There's a reason the CODM collab uses the trio's Herrscher designs from 2019-2021: no one gives a fuck about their finale forms, let alone p2 characters.
Ok.
>>580363759Seele!And "Seele"!
The Elysiafag continues shilling games from tencent.
The Genshit newfag shill keeps bringing up Tencent despite them contributing to HI3's development for years.
I started this game and like I keep getting yoinked between different groups of characters and stories and I have no idea what is happening?Can you get subtitles in the cutscenes?
>elysiatwittershitter admitting to being a foreign corpo agent
The Elysiafag never learned to read or play HI3 because hw as always a spy trying to sabotage this game. That is why he supports Elysia no matter how much he is exposed as not knowing HI3 or getting everything wrong. Such is how Elysiafags work. Had they played, they would discover many flaws in her writing but they cannot read and they never play.
>hw as always
Elyshitter can't explain this. He can't even read this.
Scyrax left Mihoyo for Tencent after tha otaku-hating Genshitter fags from NGA bullied him out from the company. I would take ANYTHING but Genshit and their slurpers. Eat dirt. No I will never play Wuthering Waves either, fuck you and kill yourself Genshitter scum.
>>580366349Cutscenes should have subs by default. The game has so many game modes in it that open up as your account level goes up. Some of those are the current patch content so you can get the limited time rewards and some are for the daily/weekly grind. I don't blame you for being confused since some of the stories are supposed to happen in some part of the main story line while others are unrelated.
>>580358346I look like this.
Has anyone here mentioned that Leylah was actually Senadina's groomer because she's older?Also, the "palm-sized hug that enveloped the world" scene was sooooooo good. I LOVE yumeoibito
>>580373501And yet Kiana would gladly fuck all of them.
>>580373501but those are all her girlfriends
>>580374545>>580374663This is a boy.
>>580373501Part 2 genshittification could never.
I like the part where Elysia and Durandal failed.
>>580304485Poor cuckshitlysia outshined by Kiana
Elysia could never.
Kiana in Hsr
>>580376154But I heard the leaks wre Firefly SP. How could they say that and Kiana?
>>580376269I dunno. Heard people were quitting hsr in droves so they pulled out Kiana's. Could be wrong
>>580376390>Heard people were quitting hsr in drovesElysia did this
>>580376269>But I heard the leaks wre Firefly SP.>>580376390>so they pulled out Kiana's.What if BOTH are true and somehow Kiana and Firefly both at once?
>>580376506>>580376650I heard Acheron was also being shilled alongside Kafka for 5x. That means if this is true they're trying to bring Kiana and kiamei audience to hsr.

>>580382823This is so grim because you can see it's only Kiana keeping us safe from genshitlysia atp.
The CODM collab got me interested in your game's lore, tell me your best story fights/cinematics and songs
>>580390423Best stuff is HoDm arc, Nagazira ar, and Arc city. Best animated shorts are Everlasting Flame, Graduation Trip and Lament of the Fallen.Best songs are Da Capo, Night glow, Cyberangel, Honkai World Diva, Befall, Moon Halo, and Regression.
>>580391003>Nagazira arNagazora Arc. Also animated shorts like Final Lesson, Will of the Herrscher, Shattered Samsara and Cyberangel are great. Basically everything before the mess called "Elysia"
We need more Teri Teri theme. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8O7ymvc3UsE
>>580391003>>580391198I know Raiden beats Kiana sometime and leaves her gently before leaving with the dragon and the one where Kiana becomes the herrscher of flamescion and beats the puppeteer thing with the redhead afterimage's help, does Kiana ever beat Raiden after tbat battle? What about Bronya? I saw her in the flamescion cinematic so I assume she never fights either of these 2?
>>580391685No Kiana never beats Mei after because the fight happened because Mei was trying to save Kiana. She got her gems to reduce the honkai poisoning and save Kiana from dying. They later make up as shown in pic when they realize how much they mean to each other and how they're supposed to tackle issues together from now on instead of getting emotional. Bronya is their best friend and urges Mei to makeup with Kiana too. It happens before this scene here when these two finally have a moment alone and speak their heart out to each other.As for Bronya she cries when Kiana had to leave to the moon to save everyone from honkai but they can visit each other pretty easily as shown later.
Benusian rat.
We love Bita here
Coralie said she is bald down there because of Helia.
>>580299497I think P2 finale having some similarities with P1 finale in terms of the technical side helped a lot in making it easier to read and understand. I had fun trying to compare what happened to the plans of Kevin and Senadina/Leylah since one was stopped and the other was able run its course. I'm also surprised it answered most if not all of the remaining questions I had from previous chapters. I guess the one thing I unsure of if I understood right is the origin story for DS and Core Leylah.
>>580403634Does Helia take her to some fancy dog saloon or does she expect Coralie to shave herself?
>>580406308Coralie said Helia rubs it a lot.
>>580405924If I understood it right, when Leylah died, her obession remained, which activated the DS program to fulfill Leylah's desires. As part of this, playable DS was created.
Everything that comes next is episodic filler. I've played long enough. After the 10th anniversary, I'm moving on.
>>580415464I'm going to naked dogeza if they would announce APHO 3 on the anniversary. Plus points if Sora or Ai-chan is the protagonist. I'm not letting my hopes up again though. I'm tired of Mihoyo feeding me false hope everytime they announce something new. Mihoyo simply sucks now that they decided to prioritize their more newcattle audience.
>>580416648Give kira huge tits (somehow) and make her the protagonist
>>580416919She should wear this battlesuit first.
>>580417084Where's the heel window
>>580417532I prefer tummy window.
The amount of wasted potential this game has by deciding to enshittify the game with part 2 is just appalling. Why the fuck did they do that? Congrats for turning everyone away from this game. I hope Mihoyo's happy.
>>580417892omni windowskindow
>>580418580At least we can serve as a cautionary tale and hopefully no other games suffer the same fate.
>>580424474Genshin part 2 is what to watch. See if they fuck it up as badly as HI3 did. See if they learned their lesson.
>>580427151There’s no part 2 yet
its a certain cute girls birthday todaysome might say the cutest actually
PE Sin raped Prom
page seele...
>>580409616I think DS was born first since she was Leylah's thought while she used her body to protect Mars from the Cocoon nuke. She was only one thought though so she didn't have a body. That's where Leyla's desires, which remained even after Leylah was used as fuel, made Leylah's last thought the DS so it can get a body in the system.
Unironically, Kira's arc was perhaps the arc I related most to. The whole running away/giving up before it got too hard and you failed really spoke to me.
>>580449524Dumb Heeles.
>>580449926the secret ending of the yy event also implies this I think
>>580453869You mean the Vita scene?
>>580449524Smart Heeles.
>>580454401yeah
>>580457547Oh yeah. At first it seemed that one was modeled after the other and the other was the real one but the event was actually correct in terms of how Leylah felt in the end.
I miss Russian /hig/ anon.
>>580461334
Not gonna lie, the way Leylah just disappeared is incredibly underwhelming for a main antagonist. Not that she was ever a good antagonist, meaning her ending is unsurprisingly lacking.
>>580461834Last time I checked dvach, the /hig/ thread was slower than the fucking /hbr/ thread. Dark times we are in right now.

Did this event let you play as male DS back then? I wonder if you can still do it in this rerun.
>>580499862it has man CGs
Huh, I switched my Part 2 chapter to 1-3 and went to DS' room and she started singing something. Also, got Songque's hairpin. Wonder if it's from way back then.
The character change mirror is still there. I wonder if it will affect the event. Too lazy to try since there seems to be a 4 hour cooldown to changing.
Why did Bronya's food stop going into her butt?
>>580474696>>580476645Yup, I enjoyed talking to him in the ER and reading his memories. It did a lot for his character.
Senadiner explains: Allah says it's wrong to pretend as if a male dreamseeker exists.It's funny since my language has a gender neutral form of "dreamseeker" for the AstralOp and the ingame texts have been gender neutral for a while now, it's horrible to read.This event doesn't. It's gendered, and the dreamseeker is female. I approve of this change.No hetshit, ever. Only yuri.
>>580504878So you're telling me it is by divine right that women kiss each other?

People care about stylized drawings of girls too much. Well, no one ever said gacha gamers were very smart.
The MC of p2 has 189 art after 2 years. Kiana has 7.8k after 10. DS has 95 art per year, and Kiana got 780 per year. Other p2 characters are also starving for art.
>numberfaggingThe ugly face of Shart Trail fags and Genshitters
And Buronya onee-chan!
>>580534656The numbers don't lie. P2 characters are incredibly unpopular.
I liked the Part 2 characters, it's just a shame the story didn't really know what to do with them.Leylah is also one of the better villains we've had, miles better than kebin was.
>>580543125Just look at the lamp!>Just radiates pure lesbian baddie energy>awesome concept with the changing weapons>Sweet tooth and maid dress to show a different side about herShe's a character who basically writes herself, but they did fuck all with her and without the ignite tag, she's also useless in the meta.They really did her dirty.
The numbers mason. Why do they matter? Don't tell me you're an elyshitter who thinks big numbers means better writing like hsr.
The numbers matter because HSR is dying and the elysiafag is flailing in anger that his favorite genshit game is dying.
>>580543125Leylah? A good villain? Lmfao. She did jack shit besides obsess over someone. There's nothing relatable about her, nothing that gives her depth. Otto obsessed over Kallen, but he was able to get the audience to feel what he feels. Leylah is one dimensional.

>>580568250Bunny...
>>580570003>part 2 wasn't genshittificatio-ACKKKKK
say the line cordy
The v8.9 stream said there will be an epilogue period but not how long these epilogues will last. It’s possible there will be no part 3 and the story is only episodic side quests from now on, which might happen given the game's slashed budget and dev team compared to when part 2 was developed at the end of part 1. If everything is just side quests from now on, then I'm done. No more reason for me to stick around for filler.
Can you repeat that again later I might forget. Thanks.
>>580545973>>580547570The numbers matter because not enough people played and payed for part 2, leading to the only boycott in mihoyo history that actually worked.
>the only boycott retard, bugmen zhangs also boycotted the bunny girls and that guy in a black coat because he was apparently their god or smt, idk
>>580576443part 2 was made for those bunnysuit-hating faggots. Maybe it was astroturfed faggotry from the Genshit newfag niggers at that time i dunno. They did the same stunt with GGZ when they dared to release bunnysuit skins 2 years ago. tldr: kill yourself genshitter scum
>let otaku-hating genshitter opinions ruin your game>actual players leave>otaku-hating genshitters didn't replace themMoral of the story: Don't let knife-weilding genshitter pedestrian scumbags make decisions for a game they will never play.
All of the Bologna's music themes kinda suck bros.

The Chinese weren't mad at the girls in bunnysuits. They wanted the girls in bunnysuits for themselves and were raging thst only other servers got them and not China.
Seele mentioned!
>>580579776This sucks!
>>580579776Turbo Seele is very fast
>>580580168Of course, she has to keep up with Bologna onee-chan.
The boycott was actually against the elysiafication of honkai btw.
>>580580967What the fuckeele.
>>580580457Cute Kianners stopped to see bologna dilating
Senadina was the closest thing to Elysia in Part 2. Part 2 is commonly agreed to improve once Senadina was gone. The removal of Elysia is a universal positive.
Is Honkai Impact enjoyable f2p (I won't be whaling out for these Call of Duty cosmetics either)?
>>580584353HI3 is TOO F2P friendly. That's why it doesn't make as much money. Gifts that other Hoyo games charge you for can be won for free or gotten with less pay here. HI3 is a game that hates money and keeps on giving free benefits to players. That's why it suffers.
>>580584353It is enjoyable F2P if you keep to the story and enjoy this. After the first few chapters (which would be completely trivialized anyway if you had gacha characters), the game gives you the battlesuits (playable units) that you're supposed to play for the story.
I'm glad to be in a general with no Elysia or Durandal.
YOU WILL REMEMBER KALLEN RIGHT NOW
>>580585506whomst've
The tragedy of Otto. He wants you to give Kallen all your attention and buy the next Kallen Fantasy game but everyone only pays him attention.
