This Ending can be achieved only once, after you re-login, it will throw you back with Himeko and this time you won't have the choice to refuse to join the Astral Express.

So she basically chose to stay back, and after herta quickly losing intrest in you, you'll manage to get a job in the herta ship. Star rail frequently visits the ship and bring stories we never imagine, but you're not the part in those stories. Never.

[@diamondcrafter78shane68]

It's also implied the crew died and failed to save the universe. The narrator says their fate could've been different if you joined.

[@anceptus]

cw 1.1 patch spoilers If I recall correctly, Kafka mentions in the new Xianzhou quests that the Express and the Stellaron Hunters are bound to cease if nothing is done to change it, since Nanook plans to bring an end to the universe. That includes creating the Trailblazer and everything that happened so far, including the future possibility of killing an Aeon. I don't remember the exact wording but I think that's what this ending is referring to.

Interesting how March’s name isn’t capitalized when on the left is ??? Yet welt’s name is and his old name Is on the left

[@tovarishchfeixiao]

Maybe because that's not her real name? Idk.

[@Some_guy_currently_alive]

@@tovarishchfeixiaoit is said that March 7th isn’t her actual name since that’s just the day they found her. Probably why it’s ??? Since we don’t know her actual name. It’s like how Welt has his actual name because we know it and therefore he’s “playing” as Welt, but there’s nothing to put for March since we don’t know the name of who’s actually “playing” her.

[@tovarishchfeixiao]

@@Some_guy_currently_alive What the hell do you talking about? XD I just talked about the possible reason for why the name is not in capital letter in the video. Not about in-game stuff.

[@sheepisfortheweak6164]

This also probably means that Welt, Himeko, March 7th, Dan Heng, Kafka, Blade, Silver Wolf and Firefly all died against Nanook.

Okay well i need to make another account and try this

Or you can just choose an another server from the same account (there is no transfer between servers, so your old play will stay the same on the server you chose while you can restart the gameplay from zero on an another server).

the end credits scene mustve been a foreshadowing of penacony's ending

It says that the "Express disappeared for good", not it's passengers. So it seems like it.

Its not the final end of the astral express though. If you think the events of xianzhou "shook the universe to its very core" i dont know what to tell you since its pretty obvious that we are going to kill an aeon(nanook) and thats what the line is probably refering to

More like Sad Ending if you ask me.

What are the odds the astral express gang actually ended on penacony since if trailblazer didnt join express, they have no background backup from stellaron hunter which leads to acheron entering penacony, and we know acheron is the big mvp of penacony followed by misha
