In that trailer? That's the exact same one as in game

I really don't think it is, she looks markedly different. It's possible that the outfit and perspective is making her look older but I don't think that's true.

Maybe I'm just suddenly blind but I doubt that's what's happening here.

I do wonder if the endgame of the story is to get rid of all the Aeons. The lore is fairly open about the collateral damage Lan and Yaoshi cause with their actions, Nanook goes without saying, and the implications that Nous was the Greater-Scope Villain behind the Machine Empire are somewhat troubling.

I do wonder how that would affect the Honkai phenomenon, considering HI 3 is happening concurrently with HSR?

What's my best team, I got Dan Heng, Bronya, Cipher, Gepard, Clara, Preservation MC, Sushang, Sampo, Natasha, 4 star Herta, March, Asta, Qingque, Yukong, Xueyi, Serval and Tingyun 

My suggestion would be to roll for Sparkle so you can effectively use the free Archer you're about to get. You don't have a good main DPS— Cipher is a good generic sub-DPS, but wants someone else to do the heavy lifting

I really don't think it is, she looks markedly different.

I don't see anything that can't be explained by it being 2D art instead of her model. Especially when she probably hadn't been modeled when the trailer was made

I do wonder if the endgame of the story is to get rid of all the Aeons.

Have you read the Lord Ravager entry this update added to the databank? Some interesting things there, not quite the same as the infographic on them

Anyway, I think this is going to be a major part of the endgame, but I'm not sure what side the game is going to come down on. Kinda suspect it'll ultimately prove to be a red herring, with the real problem being something beyond the aeons

[up][up] I heard GGZ's/Honkai 2's highest beings are compared to Outer Gods, so there's a nonexistent chance Hoyo could reveal those kind of beings as enemies who are above Aeons

So, between all the gnostic terminology being thrown around and the way stellarons function, my theory is that the final enemy is going to be something akin to Ialdabaoth— Some higher-order being that's attempting to make the entire galaxy be it's creation

> I do wonder if the endgame of the story is to get rid of all the Aeons.

A lot of Honkai theme has been "humanity & beings above them". Pretty sure all humans (and other kinds of mortals) are gonna do sth abt it

Though, as Seliose proved: would getting rid of "gods" really help?

Seliose didn't get rid of Aquila, she just took their place (and ended up being considerably worse)

[up] Now that's nitpicking

My point was that killing Aquila didn't make things any better for humanity, Seliose just realized that the hard way

Small thing, I believe the experiment noted confirm that Lygus is a member of the Genius Society (though his number is unknown)

i’ve said this in the genshin impact TV tropes forum, too, but this is an issue i’ve seen with star rail as well. maybe one of you shares this annoyance:

both games’ flowery ability names and descriptions make them sound way more complex than they actually are. put them in practice, and you can reduce their descriptions to “it just lets you deal more damage/heals you/provides a shield/reduces the enemy’s stats/summons a minion” and no one would notice

take hyacine and ice TB, for instance. hyacine’s whole kit can be summed up as “your abilities are area attacks that also heal your party. you deal more damage the more healing you do.” and TB’s kit can be summed up as “you have a minion that deals area damage and can occasionally buff an ally to advance their turn and buff their damage for a few turns. use your skill to heal the minion.” boom, it’s that simple. no amount of prose and specific stat numbers will change that

I mean. Your description of Hyacine's kit is wrong. And we do have an option to simplify the ability descriptions

#3943: Jul 10th 2025 at 3:12:21 PM

[up] I mean, the simply option isn’t the best because if memory serves me right it omits some parts of characters kits (ie; Ruan Mei’s ult not specifying that enemy break recovery will be denied)

Went to pity, but I won the 50/50 for Saber yay

I got Saber, Archer, Phainon and their light cones, so I think I should be plenty good for now. (Also, I got Welt in the process of rolling for Saber, which is kinda funny.) Might also try to get Sparkle while she's available because apparently she's the best character to use in a team with Archer.

The fact that Saber and Archer don't have English VAs sucks a bit, and it is annoying that the Japanese VA toggle for just them won't be available until 3.5, but considering half the cast are still lacking VAs I might just go Japanese for the Fate event anyway.

Got E 0 S 1 Saber and E 1 S 1 Archer, don’t know if I’m going further then that though

Really enjoying both if them in battle, especially Archer (although the team is a bit squishy in terms of HP)

[up][up] IDK if true or not but I heard that Archer's regular English VA is from Taiwan and basically doesn't want to do work for a Chinese company. Which, I mean, fair.

My understanding was that regardless of language settings the crossover was going to be voiced in Japanese. Is that not true? I haven't started it yet but I plan to binge it later.
