I'M GETTING STRESSED!! Penacony 2.2 Story Quest Part 1 REACTION | Honkai: Star Rail

[@kyllernotkiller]

Fun fact: we already know when the story of Star Rail will end, but almost everyone forgot. Kafka told us that the reason Elio created the trailblazer and is making the trailblazer do this whole journey is to at the end defeat Nanook the Destruction with all the power that they have gathered, and that's the whole reason the Stellaron Hunters are helping the express getting more powerfull, that's why they helped saving the Xianzhou, everything so the trailblazer has enough strength and the allies to "destroy the destruction". So until we get the power to kill a god we know that Star Rail isn't ending any time soon

[@yubaa]

You can also kill an Aeon... by absorbing it.

[@diegovinicius6100]

this makes me wonder if maybe we will become an aeon in the end, like the sucessor of Akivili, i mean it needs a god to kill another god (don't forget that there are also people wanting to kill Yaoshi)

[@starpeep5769]

Acheron will be very helpful in annihilating to nihility the aeon of destruction

[@wisefelipe]

​@@diegovinicius6100I doubt it, Hoyo stories have always been about freedom ans defying fate, and the Aeoms are anything but free, being slaves to their Paths. Though, tbf, if there is one Aeon that could be called an exception depending on how you look at it, it is Akivili. But even still, as a certain Titan would say, he may as well still be a slave, a slave to freedom.

[@xelasneko]

4:29 Boothill's being unable to curse is so funny, my personal favorite is his Japanese version, in this line, instead of "muddle-fudger", he says "Baby". 🤣

[@Chaffee738]

Robin and Sunday at first glance look like the typical combination of "sweet innocent, optimistic girl who sees the beauty of the world" and the "elder brother who's gone through much and wants to protect that girl from the ugliness of the world". And Sunday thinks he and Robin are that. But they're not, that's what makes them so interesting and refreshing. Sunday did go through a lot of crap in the politics of the Penacony Family and the sins of the people visiting or living in Penacony, sure, but he's never gone outside. Robin is the one who's been going outside and seeing the horrors, probably far worse than anything Sunday has seen in Penacony, but also how people with less power and privileges struggle to make the world better. Robin is the realist and Sunday is the idealist here. The subversion is so damn interesting and I love Robin's character SO much. I don't regret changing my mind and deciding to give the spot of first limited 5☆ to Robin. (And happy about the fact that Robin came with literally the first ticket) And I really like how you're also invested in their stories so much and reading into them, and making wonderful observations.

[@Absolute_Crimson]

This quest shows why it's PEAKCONY for a reason.

[@idontspeakjapanese6289]

4:16:53 According to the theory I know, it seems that Kafka knows something about Himeko that she would like her not to know

[@kenneth5729]

For the long pauses for firefly, its because she was out of the dreamscape, and her entropy loss syndrome causes her to vanish slowly. Shes essentially pausing because she is dying, not because of a bug or anything.

[@hayond656]

Where was that explained? I feel like either is just as likely

[@kenneth5729]

@@hayond656 hoyo doesnt explain it but its not too hard to understand that shes literally dying because of entropy loss. People sort of just forgot she has that. Also she does pauses in japanese as well. Idk what other languages have her pauses as well.

[@hayond656]

@@kenneth5729 I know that, but it sounded just as likely to me that they mistakenly made the VA pause too long

@@hayond656 highly doubt it. Whilst the game is not perfect and has its mistakes, the only one i can frankly remember is argentis voicelines not appearing because of a bug in this same patch. Other than that i think the game has been pretty consistent

[@jadeyumol4811]

Dan heng is that you?

[@Kevin-rv8br]

At this point I honestly might be. Also one perk of being lore invested, is that the entire story of penacony makes complete sense, especially towards the end. I believe if I hadn't read the entirety of swarm disaster I would be extremely confused

44:40 when was it stated that SAM was the first recruit of Elio? cant find any reference anywhere. In addition, with Firefly's trailer and also with her Character Story: Part III, it is heavily implied that Kafka was a stellaron hunter first and she was the one who found firefly.

I wanna share this one moment from a game no one has probably heard of... But they had a scene where they got the petite disabled singer girl a gattling gun, and it was the best scene in the game hands down. She screams, "Come and get some mothaf&*ers", it was so out of character it works. And Robin should be able to do that as well. I easily envision her doing that, and it lives rent free in my head now thanks to you :D

Does anyone know Mina's audio settings? The audio mixing sounded very good in the final boss fight, but for me the voicelines that are exclusive to the story quest version of boss fights tend to be too quiet. What's worse is that the voicelines of the characters I use in battle (outside of any storyquests) tend to be louder than the voicelines heard in storyquest battles. The music and sound effects end up being too overpowering or the voicelines end up being too overpowering. Anyone got any audio settings recommendations?
