"They alone push the dark wall 37km back" This line gets my imagination churning a little bit. Makes me wonder what the full scope is of the destruction in the world.

[@vinny8589]

hollows don't grow in size after innitally spawning from what I've seen and read thus far it just screws over anyone who enters one, but this dark wall may be an unusual exception to the rules, and as Hoyo established in Star Rail, Rules are made to be broken.

[@mychannel-dl5hs]

In Greek mythology, the most well-known son of Helios, the sun god, is Phaethon. Phaethon is famous for his tragic attempt to drive his father's sun chariot across the sky. Unable to control the powerful horses, he veered too close to the earth, scorching it, and then too far away, freezing it, leading to a catastrophic imbalance. To prevent further disaster, Zeus struck him down with a thunderbolt, causing Phaethon to fall into the river Eridanus. This myth serves as a cautionary tale about hubris and the dangers of overreaching.

[@Dave_Chrome]

That loading screen TV was from the videotape "This is How I Am". This Is How I Am (Video Genre) Documentary Lv. 3 (Video Description) This documentary brings together various kinds of audio-visual and textual information from the old civilization to show the world and human life during that period. It was once banned by a company in New Eridu on the grounds it was "showing a beautiful illusion that does not exist and diminishes citizen's safety awareness." It was later reopened after a large number of fans protested. Here is what he says in full: "When I was 15, the thought of an apocalypse never troubled me. The only thing I could give up, even in the face of the world's end, was the sunset on that beach. Watching the sun gently slide into the waters embrace, with fireworks dancing on the canvas of the night sky, even tomorrow or better, it wouldn't be worse than I thought. When you're reading this letter, I imagine much has changed, whether it’s yourself… or the world."

[@Gakuloid]

Wonder if anyones noticed this or if it's just my own brain making links where there are none. But the names of the AI, Jinni, Ghost, Youkai, and Fairy. All of these names obviously come from a mythological creature, but something I find interesting is that all of these could be seen as either Mischievous, Dangerous , or even Helpful depending on the myth you base them on. Jinni is probably a Djinn, or Genie. As we're all aware thanks to Aladdin, you can have your helpful Genie, or your evil ones, but trickster Djinn are also mentioned. These primarily come from Arabic culture. Ghost, well we all know what a ghost is! But that also means we all know how varied ghosts can be in interpretation! Youkai, a youkai is a type of monster from japanese mythology, even calling them a monster isn't exactly accurate, nor demon, as they are so varied, to simply call something a youkai is like looking at a spider and saying bug. You're not wrong, but you're not right either. They probably choose this term for the simple fact it has so many types. Fairy. Obviously this is the AI we know the most about considering the games plot, but Fairies come from europeon mythology, and much like Youkai, to simply point at something and call it a Fae or a Fairy is not incorrect, but not entirely correct, as many things count as a type of Fae, and run the gambit of helpful, to mischievous, to outright harmful. Ah well, thanks to anyone who pays attention to my rant, maybe I'm onto something!

[@Yorushima]

** When Thor (PirateSoftware) picked this up briefly, he mentioned that all of them are primarily dangerous folklore monsters, with no "helpful" element. Any beneficial behavior is typically either coincidental or a setup for something harmful down the road (which in-game Fairy's existence seems to imply quite a bit). If it weren't for that, the visions your MC gets when first-time interacting with Fairy should already suggest some bad mojo scheduled to happen down the road, likely as a result of your new contract. It's more than likely that true to the mythological depictions, all these AI are programmed to fulfill an undisclosed purpose while screwing over everything and everyone else to get there.

[@sun_spyro9537]

also fairy looks like the turkish eye of protection the nazar so she is more likely a helpful but still being a "fairy fae" has her own agenda

[@Soramoi]

Jinni, Ghost, Youkai, and Fairy all belong to the category of supernatural beings or entities found in various mythologies, folklore, and cultural traditions around the world. They all have a few things in common such as: Supernatural Origins: All of these beings are believed to exist beyond the natural world, often associated with spiritual, magical, or otherworldly realms. Cultural Significance: Each of these entities plays a significant role in the folklore, mythology, or religious beliefs of different cultures. For example, Jinn are rooted in Islamic tradition, Ghosts in various global beliefs, Youkai in Japanese folklore, and Fairies in Western European myths. Variety in Forms and Behaviors: These beings come in many forms and can exhibit a wide range of behaviors, from benevolent to malevolent. Their characteristics often vary widely depending on the specific culture or story. Interaction with Humans: Each of these beings has stories or legends involving interactions with humans, whether through haunting, granting wishes, trickery, or offering protection. Mystery and Fear: They all evoke a sense of mystery, wonder, or fear, often being subjects of cautionary tales or myths that explain the unexplainable.

[@PandemicalShade]

They are four types of spirits from different cultures / folklore.

[@loushia16]

I was a little worried the worldbuilding would be a little thin but this is setting up so many interesting layers. This has some serious Honkai vibes, especially with the mystery of Hollows and a previous era that fought against the first wave. It even reminds me a little of Made in Abyss with how the Hollow Zones need to be carefully explored and cause risk of a loss of humanity.

Fairy - Search - 1:34 "Fairy, 'search' for preset keywords" I can't tell if all 4 AIs have these 4 functions or do they only serve these specific functions(I think this makes the most sense, considering they brought 4 different AIs to enter the database instead of just 1 super AI", either ways this is just for brain rot HAHA

[@Phantom_Zone]

Search. Which now we know is the ability to have near 80% access to all information. We can use this as a standard to figure out what the other three can do. Jinni, maybe able to store and process huge amounts of data. Hacking is pretty self explanatory. And corrupting is probably something along the line of controlling. Which is interesting is that Just fairy alone could flip out the entire system. But the mysterious two had clearly all four of them. And somehow threw them in the New Eridu. My wild guess is that these people are on the moon.

[@omniwolf1877]

Also makes you wonder, if Phaethon already has Fairy (who actually does do a lot of "searching" for the siblings) does that mean they're also going to collect the other three, or are those going to be obtained by other members of the roster? And that's assuming that those AI are still on the same side.

[@FDGSO]

I’m calling it right now, the reason the protagonists are helping in Hollow Zero is to find the Professor. He founded Helios academy, and Phaethon is the son of Helios in Greek mythology. Phaethon attempted to drive the Sun chariot across the sky, believing he could do it just as well as his father. However, he could not control the horses causing him to first ride too close to Earth, and then too far from Earth. Ultimately, he was struck down by Zeus where he fell into the river Eridanus. The story of Phaethon is a cautionary tale about hubris

[@hoaang9455]

The four horses is the four A.I fairy was the first ones

[@vt4032]

Along with this theory is that we will have to likely fight him as a Boss fight. Maybe after fighting him he will revert to a more normal state?

[@sleepydoge1932]

Close enough i guess, having played the newest chapters, Wise and Belle is trying to find the truth about their teacher - Carole Arna, a high class scientist who worked at Helios and one of the people who was blamed for the Hollow Zero accident which destroyed Old Eridu

[@excellent_potato]

Now these are the designs I'm excited for! And considering the names and statuses of these AIs, I am sure this was all before our acquisition of Fairy. But Youkai did mention Fairy here... is the female voice Fairy? Anyways, they have nailed the aesthetic, and I can't be more thrilled. Just waiting for an Urban Mei... EDIT: After watching it again, I have a speculative theory. These two mysterious individuals are planning something huge, and know more than the average Eridu citizen. The AIs are somewhat connected to the deep voice, and each one of them are specialized for certain tasks: Ghost: Hacking Youkai: Corruption Fairy: Search Jinni: Loading The women's comments signify they hold a very thorough knowledge of Eridu, as well as New Eridu. And from her reaction to the three Void Hunters who pushed back the Black Wall, it seems there's some history between her and them. And the deep voice's query only alludes to the fact that the more active and exploring party is the woman. The deep voice is probably stationary, and the woman uses it. They are biding time for someone to come across the AIs, possibly due to some restrictions. I am sure the cutscene when we calibrate Fairy holds more clues, but anyways. Judging from the Inter-Knots security and tight censorship on information, the power controlling New Eridu is just as strong as them, or probably even stronger. My guess for the future is that we are going to stumble across another AI. And that AI could be Ghost. And when that happens, another Void Hunter will be introduced with a lot of revelations. Oh yes, and the person who "hacked" our HDD and got our main account, is just another party that is interested in this whole Watchmaker's Legacy-esque rat race. And I have a feeling that Professor Arche is our mentor. The person who took us in and probably raised us. Or maybe his successor? We already know we are from the old Eridu, so that couldn't be far fetched. Considering their superior Eous and Bangboo tech, I am sure they have knowledge from the old Eridu. I know I've been yapping for long, but there is this last detail I very much liked. At the start of the access to Inter-Knot, we got a message on Phaethon. It probably is something legendary to have it be honored as such, but what makes it interesting is the symbolism. From the message, it seems Phaethon was a hero and almost divine-like. Us, with Phaethon as our Proxy ID, are probably going to get involved in this big, corporate, not-what-it-looks-like mystery. That would truly be the ressurection of Phaethon.

[@Birthday888]

No, the female voice says "Behave you four and wait for someone to awaken you" when the list containing "Fairy, Youkai, etc" flashes up on the stream. Meaning that the female voice is not one of the four AIs. She is probably the creator of the AIs, or at least connected to their creation.

[@cosmicpoptart3699]

Phaethon is actually a part of Greek mythology. He was the son of the sun god Helios, who in an attempt to be recognized by his father, was allowed to drive his chariot (the sun). in short, the ride was a total disaster and he was killed by Zeus. the reference to the myth might be why that piece of text mentions the Sun God's Chariot. The fact that Wise and Belle go under the name Phaethon, and the text in this video mentions that while Phaethon failed greatly, he also was very daring, it might be plausible that the two characters may follow a similar path, daring to prove themselves, but at risk of suffering a great failure.

[@cry-o1436]

Not only that but the fact that they're interested in getting a legal way of investigating the hollow zero and has their own objective inside definitely strengthens the speculation that Professor Arche is their mentor

​@@islamsalimzhanov4399 potentially, however I think it might be more likely that the "sun god's Chariot," that they reference in this chamber may be Fairy, since Phaethon chose to install the chip that contained her in order to save the Hares. since it's likely Fairy is connected to the Hollows, their origins, and most likely, their fate. Phaeton's control over fairy represents the idea that now he controls the "Sun God's Chariot," a metaphorical tool that, if not wielded properly or with care, can change the world. Thus, Phaethon, as daring as the siblings are, must ride it with care.

They're doing really, really well at not giving anything away. All we really know in game so far is that -We are post apocalyptic -Hollows are all over the place, but we can push them back with enough force by fighting the ethereals inside -A Weird AI jumped inside our Protagonist -There's some sort of conspiracy going on involving "The sacrfice" -Some character details (Koleda's father, Lycaon's employer etc.) They've basically distracted us as players with a street level story about proxies, hollow raiders, and a company scandal and almost completely distracted us from the far bigger mystery: Wtf is going on with the world and how did it happen. Which is really clever because Wise and Belle wouldn't be trying to figure that kind of thing out - They're just civilians living in the world. They're more focused on making money and chasing their own story. But these teasers remind us that there's so much more going on than we or the characters we interact with ingame are aware of

[@jasonkeith2832]

Maybe a counterpart to Acheron (Mei without a Kiana) for this game. Granted, we've had three games with a Mei, so her popularity is definitely a factor in whether she'll be potentially a future character.

Idc about all the hate ZZZ is getting. ZZZ has been actually really fun even though I had the lowest bar of expectations ever for the game. Imma let them cook. (Edit: I'm gatekeeping this game lmao. I feel like we should nurture this game with actual care unlike Gi if we want the community & ZZZ team to be healthy. Ngl with the direction of the game, I feel likes it's catering to a more "mature mind" of an audience compared to other Hoyo titles. And if thats the case I hope the community too will be the most Mature community out of Hoyo games so the whole experience will be healthy for once. No attacking VA's, Devs, teams, no drama, no begging, no comparing, I'm tired of all that always circling.)

FYI The "Sunbringer" at 2:05 is definitely a stylized Kiana expy, it's not just your senses fooling you. Kiana's natural eyes are blue, and her HoV (or Sustainer from Genshin) eyes are yellow with star shapes in the middle, so it tracks that she has 1 blue eye, and 1 yellow with star shapes for pupils. The hair is a bit duller gray than her typical white or off-white depiction in HI3rd, but I really don't think there's any question here based on the eyes.

[@Fxrrxt2x]

There's... no way, right? Surely it's just coincidence?

@@Fxrrxt2x it's probably just an expy i.e. same persona different bubble on the imaginary tree, a'la Mei (HI3rd), Raiden Mei (Genshin), and Raiden B. Mei (Star Rail)

Consider: Fairy is the female voice here. She has no comment on the three who pushed back the dark wall... because she's one of them. Colonel Vike, Lt. Col. Dan, and the leader of the Falkenhayn Mercenary group - The leader. The one standing front and center - unnamed. Recall that "Miss Pink Elf" in HI3 has a different moniker in JP/CN. It's pink "yousei"-san; Fairy. An AI simulacrum based on a brainscan of a past era's teasing and beautiful hero. Again.
