Gigguk Plays PENACONY FINALE | Honkai: Star Rail 2.2

Guess the fact that Mihoyo is still Mihoyo in CN but "Hoyoverse" in global got past everyone huh.

[@KaslanaK]

@@kunfupandarofl because to us Mihoyo is just like a friend group name wayyyy before Genshin, where there just a few people and it small community. Call it Mihoyo to remind ourself how hard the journey we'd been throughout the years and Hoyoverse sound like a big corporate while Mihoyo is more friendly.

I like that Garnt is the most normie hoyo creator. He does not know shit about the communities or the deeper lore but he genuinely does seem to enjoy playing genshin and hsr which is more than most hoyo creators lol.

[@Vonmoonlight]

People who said the line MC said was cringe probably never saw the quest text dialogue from Misha when he goes to his final resting place MC as he/she said, to inherit the path your predecessors took, what MC inherited was the answer of why life slumbers. And it hits hard with Misha life story and how it fell to shambles yet still shine a bright light as a trailblazer to other trailblazers. He dreams of all the things but he gas to wake up at some point, because these dreams are simply things that dont exist. Too good to be true, we never had these, so we wake up to work to achieve these dreams so that instead of thinking of dream as reality, you make these intagible things of the stuff you dream and bring it to reality. And share to others and pass it down 1 generation to the next. Dreams are simply a way of one wants, reality is where you make it happen

[@garethcf1016]

The HI3rd references in this part were insane. From the HI3rd OSTs, to Himeko's dreams, to raiden mei, to the hand grabbing while falling scene. Even the story of this part basically traces the finality arc. Welt surely be flashing back. Also all the universes have always been connected. Technically, HI3rd and HSR share a universe (the alien space manga was a mistranslation, go read it up).

[@tybanosaurus]

i agree that this quest had a lot of talking + philosophically deep discussions (which made it long in the first place). personally, i love that and it made this quest that much more interesting because im a sucker for a rich philosophical discussion. i would understand a lot of complaints about it being long and had a lot of yapping because it does. the final battle was on par with the Jarilo VI final battle for me because the emotions have just been overflowing on both of them. sumeru's story (for genshin only) was still peak in my opinion but the penacony story takes the cake for the best hyv story for me

[@ametozukumazu6073]

He showed his intentions, philosophy to us and the characters with Robin and bird flashback. Other examples are the same "order is good freedom and reality is bad" idea but in the different situations. Asdana's backstory was cool but after frist portal, it was obvious that something is gonna go wrong favouring, again Sunday's idea. +2 portals are too much. Many things in that story was unnecessary. The show came out of nowhere and served only as dating sim. with Firefly. Vortex thingy in the riff, Sunday and Robin handing out, in the end led for nothing. Vortex was forgotten and Robin not even doubted herself, Sunday just bruteforced it. It wouldn't been a big problem if it didn't affected the fake ending and prep. for second Sunday fight. Fake ending was wack. No way Sunday thinks IPC is generous or Ratio who he met and knows is gonna sway under genius society. He is too smart for that. And prep. took almost no time. We didn't saw a single Galaxy Ranger when Boothill summoned all of them or what Acheron did with "dead" Penacony people. If pre first Sunday fight was shortened and parts after were more detailed I would've considered it best Hoyo story too but imo last Fontaine arc is still the best.

[@boeman6702]

@@ametozukumazu6073 3 portals are necessary because the theme of Penacony is moving to the future. Throughout 2.1-2.2, there was always a topic of "Past, Present, Future" (Aventurine, Sunday, Mikhail/Gallagher/Misha/Clockie) simply because it all connects to the Trailblaze. Sunday and Robin hanging out was a means to develop Robin's character and to show her own intentions. It was there to especially show how she is caged by her brothers ideals and helplessly looks up to him even when she KNOWS what he's doing is wrong. It also shows Sunday's desperation and how he's trying to lie to convince himself that he's doing it for his sister's sake. And for the record, Robin DID doubt herself but she only was able to gain confidence by being separated from Sunday. Fake ending was wack because it is supposed to be. It's supposed to be the BEST ending WE want. Which is why Jing Yuan calls us the Galactic Baseballer. It's not supposed to make sense. We did see the other Galaxy Rangers. Why else do you think there were shooting stars in the cutscene? Those are the Rangers. Acheron didn't "kill" the Penacony people. She just destroyed the dream by making it unstable. She forced them to choose to wake up from it. She even says it herself.

[@ametozukumazu6073]

@@boeman6702 Oh, I worded it wrong. I meant putting 3 portals into 1(of course while differentiating each portals). So you didn't had to waste your time running and solving the same puzzle but with 3 different values. Robin one was Sunday brute forcing it at the end which made Sunday convincing her before unnecessary. After playing the new patch. Yeah, looks like Sunday never tried hide crew member's fake dreams, which is kinda dumb but ok. By seeing Galaxy Ranger and Acheron "killing" I meant seeing them in action. At least silhouettes. Story isn't involved around TB, we see parts that TB never seen. It's just made ending rushed while mid part is full of stalling.

[@panjipewe]

3 portal is there to introduce you to the new map and new lore... This is game not movie, you need to do some gameplay... Even if the gameplay just roaming around... Go there and beat monster... Isn't thay normal ? ​@@ametozukumazu6073

[@boeman6702]

@@ametozukumazu6073 It's not dumb because that's not how the dream works. Sunday's biggest flaw is that although he wants to control the dream, he wants to give people enough freedom to achieve what they wish for in the dreamscape. This flaw in his thinking makes him undeniably human but also separates him from the ideal of Order. If you genuinely think that this portion of the story makes no sense, then I highly doubt your other takes because the story makes it so, so explicit on who Sunday is and why he does it.

[@horikoji]

Sunday's boss battle was PEAK bro. The OST just added more hype into it, even though i fought pre-nerf boss and all of that the difficulty really made me pumped up at the end of it. And i love Robin's singing!

The black hole is such powerful image. I've never thought of physics as being particularly poetic, but in discovering this thing - the ultimate fate of the universe, from which not even light can escape - we've discovered a symbol far more potent than mere death. Information cannot be retrieved from a black hole. What falls in is truly, irrevocably lost in a way more permanent than anything in humanity's prior knowledge of the cosmos.
