The Game With a Perfect Read On Its Audience | Honkai Star Rail 

The Harmony Aeon Is prononced Zi-Pay love the video btw

This game is peak if Caterina becomes playable 🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥💯💯💯

Can't wait for you to finish 2.0 story

ye f no

Congrats on the second kin buddy!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉

same, omg same.

Can't wait to experience the "wholesome and carefree" story in 2.1.😅😅😅

7 weeks 🥲 at least 2.1 should be pretty stacked with rewards cause 1st Anniversary

Yes the story is great and the wait can be annoying, but you do have to play it shortly after release if you browse social media because of the rampant spoilers.

Wishing us all luck on drawing Acheron, the god damn emanator of ???, next patch!

Ain't no way this guy is flaming Riot for gacha skins and then being a lapdog for the biggest gacha game company in the world, absolute hypocrite LMFAO

​@@friendlyneighborhoodtotall1902 🤓

@@friendlyneighborhoodtotall1902 Or maybe the problem isn't "gacha" or "skins" but how it is implemented. Black and white thinking is so sad.

I'm from even further in the future where Tectone reacted to this video and made it 3 hours

​@@Qdawwg well shit sign me up for that

Yeah I fear he messed that one up.

​@@Silwyth1989I think it was just a slip, it happens a lot when you have multiple names to say in succession.

Yeah, considering he was just talking about Trailblazer, he totally just got tongue twisted in his head! XD

Prolly a script typo or slip of the tongue. Happens all the time

we do have connection to nanook though, since you draw his gaze on hertas space station. we have a stellaron inside and stellarons are connected to nanook.

My man's duke got offscreened 😭

Me after watching the trailer: I can't wait until they make them playable Me after playing 2.0 story: I can't believe they would do something like that, but if it turns out ot be true, that'd be a huge balls move from them and I wouldn't even be mad

@@PanRobak. Well they said only one of them died so the rest should be safe? i hope 😭 i need caterina

@@Uberkilltoecheese it was said that each one of the rest went their own way, which would suggest they're not together anymore, but who knows, we may meet them separately either way. That'd be cool too

they really wanna showcase Ascheron's skill as an Emanator, offing an entire group of villains offscreen

Absolutely

Surely that's just a mistake.

Honestly the side quest is just better than the main quest, there's no contest between them.

Sometimes i quit the game for the amount if time to activate that welcome back, the rewards in it self worth more than 14 days worth if rewards

@@natanelbell4127 That’s definitely not true or else the rewards would be less, hoyo doesn’t like people cheesing systems like that, it’s the same with Genshin.

I have a feeling everything was never a dream. I mean they said the Family BUILT all of those and even more areas still unfinished. The system reminded me of Avatar (movie), where you reside a new body and somehow what happened to that body also affect our body(?). If it's in the system of Inception (movie) the whatever to our body should've just wake us up.

it’s a heartwarming and uplifting story

Well, technically, it was a dream.

Yup, you go in the same way you enter, which makes me think, did SAM get there with the full armor suit

@@ThyFloorestFloor as far as I know, you can change your appearance later on after entering, so it's not necessary, but I frankly wouldn't be surprised if he actually did that

ig he meant the aeon who has a connection to the mc! Remember from the first dragon boss cutscene?

@@mahri0902 yeah that was nanook, he looks like a golden version of blade

The MC drew Nanook's gaze in the dragon cutscene at the beginning of the story

yeah the mc may be following the path of the trailblaze but has caught the gaze and power blessings from both destruction and preservation so far. even the annihilation gang and ipc havent caught their aeons gazes.

@@ahnhyungseobhaveyoulearnth8286 Individuals within the IPC have. That's what an Emanator is. and we know that Diamond, the leader of the 10 stonehearts, and topaz's boss, is an Emanator of Preservation.

I'm from the future and can tell you that Sam will be playable.

Yup, we will get SAM, so start saving up buckaroo

good, keeps sweatlord sub human trash away from genshin.. you are free to go waste time in an mmo

here's to hoping that SAM will be playable in 2.3 right along when the penacony story ends.

i spat my water reading the flying too high part

that writer: Penacony arc is a fun and uplifting story HI3 players: screw you! 😂

@@terrablade1963 they fly so high they reached the loving embrace of Elysia lol

@@hdngyn 💀

@@hdngyn Bruh, why must u hurt us like that

As a sol main I'm happy that he got his balls back

LMAO ​@@sk-hi8lg

Gallagher is also jax

Nooooooo is it??? I remember googling it right after hearing duke and it wasn’t the same person, was I mistaken?

@@joshuabarnes7392 The VA goes by two names, Bob Johnson and Neil Kaplan. You can double check to make sure

Sparkle did nothing wrong except being a xenophobic and terrible person, but I will say that’s okay because an unlikeable villain is part of a good story 😂

Some is just likeable cuz they are terrible in entertaining way​@@angellopez5315

Yeah it's my GOTY too honestly. Balatro is my close second, but it hasn't came out yet.

​@@angellopez5315 so a sassy racist fun loving person? Count me in!

but can you max your new characters before they get powercrept?

@@MiiMavis Well if you pulled for Kafka and play DoT teams, the new character Black Swan propels them to godhood. Kafka literally went from meh to god like since her release in 1.2 update. Her lightcone "Patience is all you need" describes us Kafka mains as we watched her get better every patch since her release. Also for those who wants to future proof from getting power-crept; getting Jingliu for DPS, Fu Xuan for tank and Ruan Mei for support (she is literally best universal easy to build/low investment support) are best choice.

@@MiiMavis Kafka is one of the most future proof DPS character. Black Swan made this even more evident.

@@rimuruimuru The only people who thought Kafka was "meh" were the ones who tried to force her in a hypercarry team.

i'm also a kafka main,@@rimuruimuru is right. The dot characters that were played with kafka were only 4* so that's kinda normal they got power creped. The only 5* that really got power creped for now is jing yuan

OH THE JOYS THAT WOULD BRING

I get that most people who play the game probably dont care toooo much about the lore or atleast not the lore that is given outside of the main quests..but I can see maybe tectone reacting to the videos and thus it getting more traction, pls atleast consider it and start with a really interesting topic that hopefully pays of well views-wise and then you continue from there :D

He plais it casually, not really getting deep into the lore. I don't think it's worth the time for him to invest in this unless he will fall in love with the game after Penacony and want to do it for fun.

The video had footage of him playing Penacony's main story, I'm sure he's finished it by now (or close to it at least, gonna check the VODs for his reactions)

@@Xendrick No he havent finish arc 1 yet, he still got about 4-5 hour of story

@@nagi-springfield93 he did finish it now at least

1) this update's story is easy to finish in 2 days so of course there will be "spoilers" A WEEK later. 2) people shouldn't be this sensitive about "spoiler"...

on sunday he said

It's the sad truth that most Genshin players wont admit

That just sounds like salt and a toxic attitude. A lot of people play both, and I wish that HSR had a lot of things Genshin has as well. I'm just glad when content comes out and isn't shit. Luofu really sucked out a lot of the fun of HSR and I am glad to see it back in shape with Penacony. Hopefully it doesn't fall flat.

@@gamestory2834 Luofu was good and Genshin hasn't got anything better then star rail because they were pretty much the same layout on launch while genshin refuses to change things star rail keeps making adjustments to genshins formula. Can you actually name anything that genshin has over star rail besides obviously the gameplay difference

@@HollowHeart771 just my personal preference, but I enjoyed Fontaine's story over anything that HSR offered story wise. It's impressive how they made Furina into one of the most hated to the most beloved character in a single act. Characters like Neuvillette, Navia, Lyney, and Wriothesley also were very well crafted. The twists paid off well and Paimon wasn't even that annoying. She's gotten less annoying since Sumeru, although the biggest thing holding her and the traveler back is that she still often speaks on behalf of them. Penacony is shaping to be very interesting though, for sure, and I'm excited to see how the story will pan out. I disagree that the Loufu was good. It had a good premise, but was executed very poorly. Tingyun's death was just shock value like Signora's. Dan Heng's whole arc was very rushed, and most of the characters in the Loufu didn't get enough screentime or development. They should have had more stuff about the High Cloud Quintet instead of making it into animated trailers on youtube or keeping it locked behind Jingliu's quest. There was a lot of yapping that barely progressed the story. It did not help either how the interlude was hella short and they made us wait an entire patch just for 30 minutes of story that could have easily been added to the end of the previous act. Welt did not do anything at all either, which is very frustrating. The ending cutscene was very good, but that could not salvage what the story was. I prefer the artifact system in Genshin than HSR's relics, although both are pretty trash. Having an offpiece really makes a difference. The self-modeling resin in HSR always gave me trash and it hasn't made a huge difference for me. Having to farm 2 different places for relics for the same character is also tedious. Especially since simulated universe is time consuming. Getting spd boots and energy regeneration ropes is one of the most frustrating things to get. You also have to worry about more stats like break effect, effect res, effect hit rate, etc. Leveling up traces is also far more expensive than it is in Genshin. I think HSR has gotten a lot more right than what Genshin has but this is what I think Genshin did better.

@@cryophoenix6114 It's more so the quality of life stuff that star rail gets over genshin Gameplay aside I wish genshin wouldn't be so stingy with there handouts and rewards .

We had character deaths in the first and second world why people acting like it's been sunshine and rainbows and only now getting dark lol

"somehow not cringe" It's called not having a floating raspy voice flying mascot do all the talking in place of the MC. The MC in star rail actually has the ability to speak and think for him self which I can't stress how much that changes the story.

Keep it up. In my opinion, Penacony is peak scriptwriting and storytelling, it’s just… overwhelmingly incredible

@MagnusSorcererKing i'm very excited to hear that. I already loved Belobog and am only about 1 hour into the 2nd Planet rn (which I heard isn't as popular storywise). The writing in this game has been very engaging and fun so far. I'll definitely keep at it! :>

@@PKMono I personally love Loufu story(second planet), but it has a big flaw - it’s truly shines if a player is a lore nerd like me, who loves reading about aeons, many in game lore texts and so on. But without digging into it, Loufu lose quite a lot of its complexity and tragedy. But with help from lore tubers everything is achievable. So again, depends on personal tastes and preferences. Anyway, have an outstanding journey beyond the stars!

@MagnusSorcererKing Thank you, friend! :> I've been reading all of the dialogue in the game so far, and a few of the collectible notes. I'll see if any of it is related to what's about to transpire in Loufu! :]

especially with the mechanic in the light cone perfectly complimenting his abilities in the fight
