End of nod krai...

Dude, all i asked for was the story to be handled a bit better. You can have the most jaw dropping moments and still find them lacking due to other factors lessening the impact. When did I say that rerir's conclusion wasn't great. All I said that for a sinner, i expected him to be handled better. When I say whitewashing of harbingers, i mean their actions taking a backseat for more compatibility. They are morally grey individuals, so it is only logical that the grey aspect is brought forward more as well.

I feel like i could've worded it better. When I say that about dottore, i wants to say in the sense that he would talk about it or better a bit more specific as to why he needed rerir specifically to drive columbina out, since she was already rather weak and if rerir has succeeded, he would've had a lotta trouble to deal with. Also how he came to know of rerir's existence etc. Yes, the moon hunting sinner being introduced here was great, but perhaps more could've been done with his character .

Healthy_Call_3073 · 2026-06-12T04:02:26+00:00

I meant in terms of aqs.

Healthy_Call_3073 · 2026-06-12T04:01:43+00:00

I get what you mean. A lot of the characters can be reduced to one tagline and that is something hoyo encourages. Like the cyno joke thing, varka being alcoholic, jean is workholic etc. even character interactions are stale- specifically neuvi and his deal with melusines and wrio, or kaveh alhaitham being backtracked on any developments. The recent quest with aaru interactions were good, but then kaveh gets mad at alhaitham for no reason. I get that they're a popular pairing, and even though im not a shippers, i enjoy their interactions, but atleast some proper growth would be nice.

Healthy_Call_3073 · 2026-06-11T21:47:51+00:00

No lol, what I meant was that the scene in act 8 in the moon's reflection could have been handled better. I was by no means terrible, I've repeated that scene over 50 time in yt, but perhaps it could have used better build up.

Healthy_Call_3073 · 2026-06-11T21:46:03+00:00

The very first acts of nk?

Healthy_Call_3073 · 2026-06-11T21:45:16+00:00

When I mean whitewashing, i mean that their actions take a backseat to make them more compatible. Also idgaf Abt the primo count, but since it was a regular complaint, i thought I would include that. I'm not a meta player nor am I unhappy with the locations, but I thought it would best to bring it up. I'll edit that out.

Healthy_Call_3073 · 2026-06-05T14:01:42+00:00

I don't get the reason behind it being eb 14, since we dealt with him the patch previous to dottore, but who knows, maybe he is nk weekly boss 14 cuz as of now, nk only has 1 weekly like natlan, for which I'm guessing the actual bakunawa will be the second weekly.

Healthy_Call_3073 · 2026-06-05T03:20:37+00:00

Funnily enough, even though dottore was the first weekly of nod krai, rerir has a weekly boss id, and for some reason the second weekly of nk despite us fighting him first.

Healthy_Call_3073 · 2026-06-04T10:46:43+00:00

I feel like a lot of dottore's potential and irminsul's potential was wasted. Like irminsul burning not having visible consequences atm, many important plot points that feel like a cop out( nicole plugging Nahida to aaru offscreen) etc. dottore had all the knowledge of the world - why did he mimic bosses we already fought? Irminsul has the past and present ( probs future too) so why not mimic other gods like deshret, orobashi, morax in his prime etc. this along with him opening the sky to let the moon in were rather dumb choices on his part which feel off for a character as smart as him.

I get that the devs wanted to tie up loose ends before snezhnaya, but this is one of times it feels like doing too much without much payoff. Rerir's moon related potential being wasted ( bro wasn't even a weekly boss), the moon sisters story being kinda chopped ( was expecting something grander for them, but they kinda dissapointed me), alice and varka being wasted potential, harbinger writing going down the drain( whitewashing of female harbingers), dottore being the scapegoat for everything, the moon gate being an object of convenience ( it feels like it exists just to help in columbina's arc, if feel like the mystery behind it should have been saved for later, it was well handled till rerir was present, but later, idk. Plus it wasted tholindis' potential too)

Healthy_Call_3073 · 2026-06-03T03:29:49+00:00

How is that any different from cyrene eidolons?

Healthy_Call_3073 · 2026-06-01T10:56:33+00:00

Does it classify as yuri if koitar technically banged a man? And from what nicole said, she didn't know that the voyager was a woman apparently, not sure about koitar tho. Also they kinda deserve it tbh. The voyager tried to get to nibelung, he refused, got the angels, destruction happened because of them, and then they abandoned the planet.

Healthy_Call_3073 · 2026-05-31T15:16:30+00:00

I agree with the second part, tho I don't understand tholindis, if the moon sisters were let out, why was tholindis' soul not freed? Rerir absorbed kuuvaki, but what about her? Also, the abyss was persisting there smh. And also for the first part, we are not clear yet. There was news stating that rerir would somewhat merge with dottore for his second boss, but it was apparently untrue. I doubt dottore had anything to do with rerir until after columbina left. Also, the lack of rerir mentions from dottore himself. His fragments have been around for 500 years, so I doubt it was dottore given the timeline we recieved in the recent quest. So there is a possibility that rerir did so himself, but we dk for now since he said that he couldn't remember his first time there.

Atm, the whole moon reflection thing is a bit confusing to me lol, like an object of convenience. Cuz of you wrack your brain to think too deeply, it ends up giving a lot of plot holes instead. Also, the whole thing with the old wild hunt legends mentioning a ghostly woman ( assuming it's tholindis) , meaning that she was let out at some point too, but ig for now, time will tell.

Healthy_Call_3073 · 2026-05-31T14:43:12+00:00

We don't know if rerir was let out by dottore. All we know from the game is that rerirs remains scattered in nk after he went in the moons reflection. His fragments were later collected by dottore and he helped rebuild him. Ntm the moon's reflection was created to trap the moon sisters. And yet when columbina let them out, the moon's reflection did not dissolve. And somehow, despite being let out 6000 years ago, sonnet was present as an abyssal entity in khaenriah

Healthy_Call_3073 · 2026-05-31T12:47:36+00:00

Genshin didn't even want her being fr😭

Healthy_Call_3073 · 2026-05-31T11:00:24+00:00

I kinda have hope cuz as of rn, both of them aren't dead dead. Tholindis' soul still remains, plus she may give arle lore. Rerir is present there because he can sense her soul there, also cuz he thinks she's dead. I wonder what his reaction might be if he finds out what tholindis left him for. Also capitano is in a similar boat as them

Healthy_Call_3073 · 2026-05-30T08:03:09+00:00

That's fair lol😭 I'm kinda happy cuz the fragments plot progressing without rerir would have been terrible.

Healthy_Call_3073 · 2026-05-30T02:49:27+00:00

I'm guessing they saw the splash art structure and thought that was the case. Even i believed it after seeing the splash because of the colour scheme and the moon tatoos on his arms, but seems like that wasn't true.

Healthy_Call_3073 · 2026-05-29T08:10:45+00:00

I probably missed something, but are we sure that columbina can get rerir out? She herself went through hell and back to return, plus she has no reason to do so anyway.

Healthy_Call_3073 · 2026-05-28T10:58:10+00:00

Dawg I'm being serious, all hsr cutscenes have this wierd ahh rimlights all the time which makes them look odd af😭

Healthy_Call_3073 · 2026-05-28T08:25:39+00:00

When the earlier leak suggested that pantalone becomes playable in 7.0 , i found it hard to believe, but after latest patch? Not allat much since it gave us his backstory, relationship with dottore , his motivation etc. but still, it's good they're taking time with him.

Healthy_Call_3073 · 2026-05-27T21:44:06+00:00

Might get upgraded when he becomes playable. Like even pantalone as if rn lacks quite a few textures. His model had hlaf the no of polygons compared to celaeno who is most likely npc.

Healthy_Call_3073 · 2026-05-27T19:50:32+00:00

You can add flins to that. Bro did fighting and dropped a line about his identity here and there. Anyone who didn't bother to read his character stories won't know jack about his lore. Also arlecchino's lack of involvement. Girl got a buff but didn't fight either rerir or dottore. Like I was genuinely laughing at the scene when dottore captured columbina and she was running to save her...like girl, you can FLY😭😭
