Really love the whole Greek mythology related stuff going on. “Here lies Phaethon who in the Sun-Gods chariot fared” phaethon?? Helios academy?? So Helios academy was where wise and belle once studied at in old eredu that’s been taken over by hollow zero, and they’re trying to look for their teacher.. Helios is known as the God of the sun, Phaethon being one of his many children in Greek myth who rides the sun gods chariot in order to confirm/prove that he is a child of Helios. I wonder if that’s the reason why they named themselves Phaethon..

I noticed that the male narrator calls the female narrator "Fairy" near the beginning. So my theory is that Fairy and the other AIs were originally human before the events of the game

Na, he was just giving fairy a command but it sounded like he was takling to the female narrator. At the very end the female narrator says "You four wait until someone awakens you." So this clearly show she is not one of the 4 AIs.

@@lop90ful1I've seen multiple people say that it's been confirmed that zzz isn't related to honkai but I have never seen any confirmation for this, even when I look it up myself I come across nothing official so Idk where this started from. And even if zzz isn't connected to honkai, that doesn't mean it can't have lookalikes nor that it doesn't take place in the same universe. For example genshin is also not connected to the honkai series but it does take place in the imaginary tree(like every other hoyo game) and does have lookalikes. Zzz is probably like genshin in the sense that the worlds are more isolated than the worlds from HI3 and hsr but still take place in the imaginary tree(plus HI3 and hsr literally have plot connections to each other through welt). It wouldn't make much sense to have all these references and lookalikes if zzz didn't take place in the imaginary tree cuz the sunbringer has the exact same eye and hair colors + the white star shaped pupils like Kiana, it has belobog industries and it has a character that looks exactly like elysia(even down to the angelic + bridal imagery). The elysia like character literally has the exact same hairstyle except the bangs start at the opposite side, the resemblance is uncanny.

@zenzonerzz4789 Here's a quote from an interview. The article writer made the assumption that there was no connection between the games AT ALL as a result of it, but they were only talking about Belobog. “After the release of the second beta test trailer, many players noticed that a core faction in the game is named Belobog Heavy Industries, which overlaps with the name of an important element in another game,” the video game producer told ONE Esports. “However, this is merely a coincidence, and there is no direct connection between the two.”

All Hoyo games are in the same universe, just different paralel branching worlds. That's why there are similarities like variants of the same characters or places.

Even though Hoyo said ZZZ isn't connected to their other games, we all know it still exists in the Imaginary Tree. So maybe ZZZ is a bubble world? Isolated from the rest of the tree like Genshin?

Personally I don’t find a lot of motivation to find out what happened to these leaders but it’s interesting enough to know they set the foundation for New Eridu which lead to the business of proxies being able to help on the front against Etherials by hacking into Hollows remotely. But I do wonder if the Etherial outbreak will reach Sixth Street someday. But I’m mainly here for the combat and music ngl.
