FINALLY STARTING PENACONY | Honkai Star Rail - 1

[@misslethal2355]

Cy Yu, did you miss the part where Aventurine is a slave sentenced to death. That's the meaning of the tattoo - IPC used to use Penacony as a source of slave labor before the Harmony took over.

[@ArgoBargo]

Yeah he probably did because that was never actually said in dialogue only alluded to

[@kennethnorth7018]

@@ArgoBargo I mean they blatantly said he was a prisoner sentenced to death, the second part was implied tho

[@KattyBlake]

@@kennethnorth7018Not just a prisoner, a slave sentenced to die. That's what "thrall" means.

[@Kevin-rv8br]

Funny, in the hotel room acheron said something different to me. She told me something along the lines of, that she saw that Adventuretime looked like he was up to no good so she pretended that this was her room. So you're dialogue choices affect the red text specifically. Now that I think about it, right before the cutscene right before she kills you, she did say that we'll see a glimpse of fleeting red and that we'll then have to make a choice. I'm pretty sure she is actually refferencing her own red subtitles. Edit: man right after I hit play again somebody already said their dialogue was different now I feel stupid :(

It suits that he likes the term 'Galaxy Ranger' even more that Jing Yuan wants to be one instead of a general.

[@fadhlinurkhalis1397]

I just realize.... Sampo did recognize firefly as march 7th. Such an early hint

[@BostonCreme]

2:44:02 Sampo's wheeze is everything

[@Dantalliumsolarium]

“They nerfed his titties” thank you cy. I do- very much want Aventurine to have his glasses on and like an idle where he takes them off? Glad he doesn’t have a top hat tho. I’m very gay but I cannot take a top hat seriously. Aventurine really- makes my brain normal,,, real normal

[@liliavacyncosplay]

I finally figured it out...Sampo's manner of speaking reminds me of someone doing a Bruce Campbell impression and like, REALLY leaning into it at some points. I actually find it so much more hilarious now. Also, I'm sure others have mentioned this, but Jing Yuan actually had dreams of becoming a Galaxy Ranger in his youth! How fitting that CyYu was so enthusiastic about them LOL

[@Rojixus]

I love Sampo so much, he's such a cartoon character!

It’s interesting you wonder if MC could have been in Honkai Impact, the black and gold and grey hair do bear a resemblance to the zombies that are the very first thing you fight, and also the colours of Imaginary element enemies

[@aceoffires1032]

Can I just take a minute to appreciate how awesome Allegra is at voice acting!?!? I was always wondering who was going to voice Acheron and I was not disappointed when it was revealed that she was voiced by Allegra

"theres only one male in hi3" poor Kevin, Siegfried, Adam, Lyle, Kalpas and Su. Though i do find it funny that cyyu knows of yanqing since you dont see much of him in hi3. Kevin and Kalpas would have been nuts if they were actually playable though. We only really got to experience Adams gameplay and some Siegfried... and Kevin? I dont remember if we did with Otto

[@adrianmartinez1587]

[@LittleLibraryKoala98]

I am currently binging Cy Yu's honkai star rail playlist, and I have to say I think Penacony is probably gonna remind me of the mind-boggling trip I had while watching Loki. Especially with the trailer showing a clock like figure similar to Miss Minute.

[@runelt99]

2:13:03 CyYu succeeded the empathy check...

[@KatiKat1992]

One thing I noticed was that during the scene with Aventurine in the beginning, we see a chest very clearly at 1:15:12, at the end when you can explore the room the chest just isn’t there… Later when Aventurine is talking to Dr. Ratio at 1:33:24 we can see the same chest... so in which room are we really ?

[@b0nnebunne]

as someone with no topaz who pretty much raw dogs exploration, trust me i noticed and it is driving me insane (pretty sure i’m at 15/16 chests and that’s the only one i’m missing)

[@b0nnebunne]

so update i did a quest line off of black swan’s companion quest and you have to unlock that room to get 16th chest

[@Naarine]

He just took the chest with him 😆

I got him 8 times... 😅 I can't even... ~@27:00 heheheh ~@36:00 *deep breaths* never been so tempted to "mommy" ~@44:30 can agree, "Avi's" whole monologue feels overly infused with snark. Every emphasized word sounds sarcastic, like he's challenging the legitimacy of the title "trailblazer". wild. ~ @1:04:00 I didn't notice on my own, but listening here, Robin did sound oddly metallic for a moment. Might've been a recording artifact, but since no one else does, I smell foreshadowing. ~ @1:15:00 man's got the voice of a wanna-be rival but the speech cadence of a molasses-soaked tsundere. ~ @1:20:00 it's red because ......

Like he really lets it slide around the pitch scale. Pinball-knife boy has a pinball-voice.

[@atriyakoller136]

Me, who wanted Guinaifen and Misha and had to get a 5-star (a lucky loss to Clara, who's new, although I wouldn't have minded Dan Heng's E1) and spent 40+ pulls to get his E1 (same 10-pull) and a single Guinaifen... I wish I got Misha 8 times hahaha😂

[@1pikachu7911]

21:57 BBBB I think the Trailblazer MIGHT be Adam (You know the male main character like the hair is exactly the same he might have been "changed" somewhat because he became the receptacle for the stellaron or whatnot)

[@Ironluke_2001]

Really hope we someday get to see you try out Honkai Impact 3rd 🙏, especially with Part 2 almost here and all the massive improvements they're bringing. Loved your reaction to the start of Penacony CyYu, really enjoyed hearing your thoughts Acheron's references to Honkai Impact 3rd (BTW, she was probably referring to Kevin Kaslana, one of the main antagonists of Hi3 [Super OP and has white hair and a black jacket] and someone who Raiden Mei worked with for a time for reasons I won't say).

[@Bow2k10]

yeah, what she says to Caelus just fits Kevin to a T, while the changed line ("a friend I stood shoulder to shoulder with") se says when playing as stelle fits Kiana perfectly. She even hints at ER Yae later in the story (the "an old friend once told me line). Some of the theory crafters where quite shocked at that developement, since a lot of them were fighting the Trailblazer - Kaslana Theory that was going around ( Kaslana style bat and animations, flaming lance has the same tri-prong handle as kevins flaming sword, the ability to create ungodly food abominations even with an Omni synthesizer).

[@kyllernotkiller]

In the Acheron starting interrogation she says "he/she crossed blades with me" depending on which mc you chose, that is totally foreshadowing we're gonna fight her on some point

[@fierytigergaming8112]

Actually, if you use Stelle - the line is that she reminds her of someone she once stood shoulder to shoulder with - in other words, Honkai Impact reference

[@danhengexpress]

​@fierytigergaming8112 Yeah Stelle references Kiana while Caelus references Kevin

[@JRiddelle]

I don't think Welt is criticizing, but Robin had some obvious synthesizing whenever she spoke. It was off kilter, and we'll see if it plays into the story.

I don't think we ever saw Himeko in the dream and the story ended right after the fight. Also we know that people can impersonate another in the dream because there is a rule forbiding it. So what if Himeko was impersonating Firefly to be undercover to investigate what is going on and she died.

[@EveCurseBearer]

You really want himeko to die don't you? 😂😂 but on a serious note, I don't think himeko will die, welt literally left his wife and adopted son just to protect himeko. Welt is literally a God in disguise.

[@sora_aria]

@CrimsonRainFlower i enjoyed both Aventurine and Sparkle as characters in the story so far but saying that people hate Aventurine for his job is such an understatement when you take into account what IPC is.

[@sora_aria]

@CrimsonRainFlower didn't dr Ratio make an unapproporiate remark about his mark on the neck making this a confirmation, not a hint? I also think it's the best to wait and see how the story wraps up. As I said, I like Aventurine but I undestand why there are people who don't and why his personal drama isn't enough to excuse his behaviour and deeds as an IPC agent.
