this quest was BEAUTIFUL | HSR 2.3 Story Quest REACTION! 

Seeing a content creator who shows some real emotion during this was so nice! I tend to cry easily at these kinds of things and seeing someone not stone-faced the whole time was so nice! I appreciate it

I also love since we go for firelfy perspective we get to see how silly/dumb the trailblazer is when we are NOT controlling them. Their simple trailblazer silliness is seen be the NPC and firefly (and we just don’t see it) lol. Even March 7th who appeared to be just as silly as them is exasperated by the sometimes. Honestly I could see them both as ship or sibling relationships and both work for me.

It was truly an emotional quest, from the Trailblazer being silly (and Firefly witnessing it), the group chat shenanigans, to the wholesome cutscene with Trailblazer and Firefly and even Acheron smiling. 🥹

This quest so beautiful and sad at the same time, it destroyed me and I love it

I personally liked the update. It was shorter but I think that was the point, it’s an epilogue to wrap up the Penacony arc and Firefly character arc (although I am sure she will show up later updates. She is like THE golden girl for star rail and the fandom loves her so no way she will not come back) We got arguably (I ship them so I am biased) one more firefly and trailblazer moment to wrap it up, got to see Sunday fate and what next planet (presumably for 3.0) will be the end goal so all wins in my opinion!

You know, after seeing the 2.3 special program trailer, Sparkle being the best wingman on the planet was not on my 2024 bingo card. But i'm all here for it. And the whole paying homage/grieving/reflecting/regrets afterwards just wrecked me up. I'm already missing Penacony.

I cried during the last cutscene played out, the song reminded me about my grandma that passed away two weeks ago..

sparkle really cooked up a whole terrorist plot for three patches just to be the best wingman for MC,

I screamed when "Pendant" started playing when talking to acheron. They did it again

what nearly decimated me was during acherons conversation before you left was kianas and mei's conflict ost when mei became a herrcher. i hurt!

1:36:42 as you can see the view of penacony from above is very familiar, mikhail truely one of the best nameless ever join the express

And yeah I realize that Jade basically used Himeko and the astral expression good name to make the transition of Penacony leadership to be essentially in the IPC back pocket (at least for now third share) but honestly I think that was the most peaceful solution all things considered. (It’s lot as peaceful as the IPC just backing off Penacony altogether in that the trailblazer “dream” ending but that was a dream anyways so it wasn’t going to happen) I am sure Himeko realized that if she didn’t take the shares (and make it seem like it wasn’t a take over) that the IPC And Jade would have been more aggressive so it was sweet pill after bitter truth overall.

When Jade mentioned to Sunday from "someone who's been in your shoes before", I think she was referring to Aventurine. And that line does sound like something Aventurine would say. Btw, good choice of music for the train coach! The Beauty is ETERNAL!

This was the most emotional reaction Lorie. You made me cry too! The story is so good indeed, PEAK PENACONY.

I cried with you. Never feel alone 💗

Props for getting the video in under 2 hours!

I just want to say Lorie you aren't alone. I was SOBBING from the start of the firefly cutscene to the end of the dialogue with Acheron it was so bad for me

I was excited during the Firefly part, but the toast part really had me in the feels, I never thought I would relate to characters in a fictional world to the point their life stories moved me.

I got way too emotional during this quest! This really gave me that post anime depresssion vibes when you reluctantly finish something that was so good/memorable. Going to miss Penacony!

Thank you for this amazing reaction, you were just like me, it felt like my emotions were in a full rollercoaster, between the worry for Firefly, the pain of seeing Stelle reduced at praying for her sake and finally the bridal carry and this amazingly sweet moment between the two of them. Sparkles didn't lie, she's the best drama director in the business (and a pretty good wingwoman!)

An emotional farewell 😭❤ Sparkle is so chaotic 🙀 Well done Analesa (Firefly)👏👏👏 Congrats Lorie 🎉

I agree that the Stelleron Hunters have closer ties with each other, but I wouldn’t call being in the Ten Stonehearts an unfortunate alternative. The SH’s are wanted fugitives. Topaz owns her own luxury cruise space ship. The SH’s are constantly going on dangerous secret missions and causing mayhem (albeit for a greater good eventually). Topaz is following her passion of terraforming planets that are in decline. Sure, she’s always busy and will need to make many difficult choices, but I think the stonehearts are a much better fit for what she wants to do. Just my two cents.

it's funny how sparkle basically trolled firefly, MC and even the players, Aha must be proud 😂

I swear I wasn’t gonna pull for Firefly but after playing this quest, I surrendered all my Jiaoqui savings and got her. Before I was like calling her stupid for the way she keeps risking her life to change destiny but then it reminded me a lot of Kiana from HI3. Like she’s such an idiot and idiots don’t know when to give up, you have no choice but to admire their brave stupidity. 😭 And then that subtle homage to HI3 from Archeron really hit too close to home. I was in shambles. This was truly PEAKnacony.

NICE VIDEO KEEP IT UP

The bomb actually looks like a "light" bomb (like sampo's technique)

I really enjoyed decorating the new acquisition.

Lorie truly experience the true Honkai good for her

Ratio saying "k" made me laugh so hard

59:42 I like this part 1:00:30

You know what I did really like? All of our friends on the Radiant Feldspar helped us out to disarm the bombs. Yeah I know all of them were fake except the one next to Firefly (and even that one was just fireworks placed by Sparkle to trigger her “third death safely”) I really like in a pinch our friends at the we built up will come in a clutch to help out the Trailblazer Plus we got one last ship moment between Firefly and Trailblazer which is always sweet to see.

love youuy

Как же я смеялся с финала сюжета, чуть не помер

Interesting point. I would also like to add that perhaps they blend in together because Elio know them and they know Elio. If any one of them decides to betray one another or use one another, Elio already know. That's why it is the way it is in his script vs in the 10 Stonehearts. Everyone doesn't trust each other really, with only a few exceptions like Topaz and Jade.

It was very emotional❤😢 1:29:41

Im still pissed they didn't give sparkle a climax

59:50 Boothill's gotta be the easiest persuaded character in the whole game

Hey Lorie! have you seen the new firefly trailer?

1:39:22 if you haven't played Honkai 3rd. you won't understand what does that music mean. if you are looking for the song name, it's called Pendant.

So basically Acheron is a Buddhist 😂

Argenti voiceless is a crime bruh😭✨ did hoyo hate him thay much wth!!!!

Imagine if you played honkai impact 3rd. It's hard to handle. Heavy on heart.
