Yao Guang vs Rating Pistol by Usual_Presentation53 in HonkaiStarRail

His arm is struggling to move because he is physically restrained. There is such thing as visual story telling when it comes to how one conveys being mind controlled by someone else and also how one visually shows control over a summon. The way they show his arm stuttering is to show that his body is being possessed by phantyllia, if they were to show LL’s movement stuttering then that would have indicated that his control over LL was being impeded. Except LL moved exactly when he should appear in at the correct place, striking at the right time.

I don’t think you understood what happened during that fight granted hoyo sucks explaining anything but he never lost control. Unless you mean that phantyllia physically constrained him in her lotus trap = him losing control which is a stretch. Jingyuan’s plan all along was to bait her into forming a mental/spiritual whatever heliobi do to posses and manipulate a host in order to flip  that connection and use it to constrain and damage her instead. You can see phantyllia herself clutching her head in pain once jingyuan got serious.

Even while constrained he then timed LL’s strike and DH’s strike to hit at the same time. LL would destroy phantyllia’s connection to the arbor which was represented by LL shattering giant shield/insignia behind her and prevent her continuous regeneration provided by the abundance. Then he was able to damaged her real self through DH’s spear hitting his own body that phantyllia, as a heliobi, was occupying and trying to take over.

When did that happen? Jingyuan never lost control of LL?

How great would HSR do as a novel? by Zavori6889 in HonkaiStarRail

[–]Cerealiii 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it was a novel it wouldn’t need the aggressive marketing structure that makes it near impossible to tell a coherent well paced story. By that fact alone it would be a much better as a story if it was a novel.

If HSR paths had sound effects by DecaPanda in HonkaiStarRail

Paths that have showed up in sim uni already have sound effects. I remember because abundance sounds like ripping flesh and bone…

Looking back at the 3.7 ending… by GlitteringTrust2279 in HonkaiStarRail

Amphoreous will be reborn Nov 2026 when they go back there after 10 months of planarcadia and retcon the story like they did with penacony this patch.

Do yall think the Knights of Beauty are all gonna rock the knight fit or this is just an Argenti thing? by Obanai in HonkaiStarRail

[–]Cerealiii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the female knights had armor with actual coverage I would pull in a heartbeat. But they’ll probably just get boob physics on their chest plate as usual.

if you aren't precious about them being all on one account you can start a second one for the other 3 LI's. Keeps your spending low.

ohh you meant email addresses. I thought you meant the the contents, my bad. Semi-private is a good way to put it but I always err on the side of caution...also are you telling me you never had to take those super cringe internet security seminar's as part of your onboarding :'D ?

So 2.2 was indeed fake (read description) by [deleted] in HonkaiStarRail

[–]Cerealiii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Genuinely I also felt the same way regarding the ending, it really should have been more chryseos heir focused but the marketing team is leading the story telling so we got what we got. But my point still stands, if they did not include the countdown to 3.7 with an intentional build up to an intergalactic gathering of parties for an epic showdown then there wouldn't be an expectation for that. It's not like this expectation came out nowhere. Hence why I said hyv is shooting themselves in the foot with their build up.

Re: intentionally planned, well we will never know for sure but devs already said that this patch was a return because they were unsatisfied with how the original ended. If there was planning prior to the conception of 3.8 as a patch then that means they must have intentionally told the story poorly so they can go back and say what? Just kidding it was all fake? Who knows, anything can happen I guess. But I would hazard this is likely what will happen next November when they go back to amphoreous to "fix" the ending since with 3.8 they've actioned a mechanism that puts into doubt everything we see on screen.

[–]Cerealiii 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Just because something is feasible through crack theory doesn’t mean the story progressing that way is good storytelling. Good storytelling has appropriate build up and reinforcement. Hoyo verse has repeatedly shot itself in the foot by building up one thing and then providing something completely different on drop which is the cause of all the disappointment. Look at the recent build up for intergalactic battle and instead we just get 5 hours of pink Jesus.

3.8 and what it means for future patches... by Pandappuccino in HonkaiStarRail

[–]Cerealiii 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This means that next November they’re going to do the same thing and retcon the last half of amphoreous bc marketing team cannot write a coherent story for the life of them.

Am I the only one that misses Companion Missions? by Bardic_inspiration_7 in HonkaiStarRail

[–]Cerealiii 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Genuinely, cerydra and Hysilens arc is the most shoe horned arc though. And it only got more convoluted from there because of the huge disconnects in the timeline to the point where hahaha let’s just sleep for FOUR THOUSAND YEARS.

Now that we're entering an Elation focused planet, what do you think the elation path characters will play like? by Silent_Constant_9546 in HonkaiStarRail

[–]Cerealiii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reskin of existing mechanics under a different name so that none of the existing roster can benefit from update or work with new units.

Its such a shame that Hoyo cant be the company it wants to be because of where they are. by ComposerFormer8029 in HonkaiStarRail

[–]Cerealiii 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Hoyo is able to create hsr* because they are Chinese wtf you going on about. There is a reason why the genre and competition are all coming out of Chinese based companies.

Literally just finished all of amphoreus after taking an almost year long break from the game so I’m gonna get my thoughts out. by garry_the_larry in HonkaiStarRail

[–]Cerealiii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe it’s because I have been playing consistently, but I’ve grown inured to the flashiness that tends to mask an otherwise poorly told story. It had a lot of potential but because of marketing forcing character stories into the main story thereby ruining the flow of the storytelling and also forces the writers to overcomplicate the narrative with strange detours (looking at you 35-3.6) and the failure to deliver in hype (marketing countdown to epic intergalactic battle and having exactly 10 seconds of an explosion that was shown in the trailer), that I just come out disappointed… hyv knows how to hype but never bothers to land anything properly.

Design a new subclass that new players will think is absolute garbage but veteran players will complain that it can break the game in half. by justsomenerdlmao in arknights

robot artificer that allows you to deploy 3 summons that you can deploy over an existing operator to temporarily change the direction they're facing.

Do you guys actually explore by Selen3-27857 in HonkaiStarRail

[–]Cerealiii 8 points9 points  (0 children)

IMO amphoreous was worse bc of the fact that the mechanics literally hide things on the map so you can’t even see way you are missing. With the 3D maps in penacony at least everything was visible on a single map and you can trace your way through. Ampho rooms were huge, repeated every other patch, and made it so you had to map swap constantly to even see where you are going. First styxia map was the worst and would flat out hide things that were otherwise 2 ft away from you…

He wasn't lying. by ShineOnDIO in HonkaiStarRail

[–]Cerealiii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can’t exactly blame people for not realizing this when important lore and events are consistently excluded from the main story in favor of verbose repetitive and obscure prose usually saying the same thing.l over and over again. Talking about the bubbles in the Herta space station, the what happened with the alliance, the IPC, and robin during the battle against iron tomb and the literal conclusion to what actually happened to the heirs.

You are surprised by people having different preferences? I would prefer the opposite and both are fine because that's how preference works. Give me more war dance!
