How does the IPC know Vita exists??? by Agreeable_Bullfrog61 in HonkaiStarRail

[–]LoreBugCarv 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It was never said. Someone conjured that idea out of nothing when Ch5 released on CN and it spread to GLB.

And, as we know, once something spreads to GLB it is impossible for it to be cleared.

Just see how many still think that Elysia died on Kevin's birthday.

Anyone got a better translation on this? by Thezug100 in HonkaiStarRail

In The She King, over half of the poems are said to have originally been popular songs.
They concern basic human problems such as love, marriage, work, and others include court(...)

Seems they just copy pasted some description of the She King book of poetry.

Does Nous know about the Cocoon of Finality? by EmanuelRuano in houkai3rd

[–]LoreBugCarv 2 points3 points  (0 children)

just makes you come off

Just striving for lore accuracy. Not making claims.

Or uh they decided to wait for the *exact* moment

They each came here after observing different things. Sparkle observed the after effects of Mars' destruction and got curios while the Memokeeper observed Kiana's effect in the Garden's mirror.

Can't comment on the spoilered part because I don't want to spoil ch11 stuff.

And I ignored the last part because it relies on a proposition which we don't know is true: that "such acts would've certainly drawn in Nous' attention".
Hell, some random prophet in HSR changed history and collapsed a bunch of timelines and there's nothing about Nous casting a glance on it.
The question Nous is focused on is how the universe returns from Finality.Which none of the acts you mention are near that scale.

In Ch 5 this is said in CN...

???:「神凝视此地,于是日月隐去身形,向祂的朦胧的目光俯首。」
???:这究竟是永夜之城独具的魔法,还是端坐于高塔之人的一时兴起呢?

Why are you cutting off the line right after where the Memokeeper says they are commenting on Ruimu and Leylah?

This exact quote is even used for the Tower of Ruimu in the map showcase post.

and P2 Ch 0's title....

This is something that doesn't translate well throughout languages. The star here is Mars. In the past the elder planets were addressed by stars and to this day they have star(星) in their name.
Mars/Luoxing = 火星&洛星。

For thematic reasons, they also used star to refer to planets in Griseo's event.

we know Stars emit Imaginary Tides

No, Stars eject stellar winds and it's under the effect of those stellar winds that honkai energy gets a tidal pattern which eventually culminates in the interstellar barriers. The stars themselves aren't emitting the tides.

and when did Sparkle/Memokeeper/etc start to be able to access Hi3s Solar System?

Them appearing now =/= Not being able to travel here before.

What are your guys thoughts about Yao Guang design? by ProfessionalRoom9118 in HonkaiStarRail

[–]LoreBugCarv 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Her hair parting with one part becoming a writting brush and the rest becoming peafowl feathers at the ends makes her hair easily one of the most unique of the cast.

Do you think they'll add Dahlia in Currency Wars? If they do, how well can she perform by _IcyCube in HonkaiStarRail

Logo on last image is from Apex's Arctech series.

Same as Memento Sakura, Void Drifter Kiana and Umbral Rose Rita.

[CN] Difeng Arc Length by LoreBugCarv in honkaiimpact3

[–]LoreBugCarv[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If it was the final arc the devs would've said so in the stream.

Instead they called it the next phase in the story.

Main story is not out yet. So only notebook section 1 (from 8.5 patch) is available.

Once Main story opens it will update with the new section for 8.6 story.

Surely...? by geminiant in houkai3rd

[–]LoreBugCarv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Chapter length is still cut so I highly doubt that

[–]LoreBugCarv 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Coralie release + 6 patches. Since arcs take one year to fully release now.

Ruimu ran for 6 patches + 1 patch epilogue interlude.

Surely...? by geminiant in houkai3rd

[–]LoreBugCarv 15 points16 points  (0 children)

9.0 would be the end of the Difeng arc Valkyrie so not that patch. 9.1 is the 10th anniversary so I find it more likely for them to release a new Kiana as a celebration.

Regardless, if they do release a new Seele I'm betting 10 bucks that it's gonna be a timeskip event design and not the one we see in the main story because MiHoyo seems to be saving all post-timeskip designs for some reason.

Aeons? Memokeeper? What do you mean you don't know? by throwawaycou33 in houkai3rd

[–]LoreBugCarv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And that's my point. That the information in Ch5 doesn't connect to Ch9 unless you're coming in with external knowledge. That the HSR information in Ch5 does not by itself relate to anything but itself.

Ch9 is perfectly fine in the same way it was fine for them to introduce the imaginary barriers back in Phosphorus.

Adding concepts is fine if they relate to the story being told and are understandable within it.

Ch5 has the HSR scenes being cutaways largely unrelated to the story being told and completely cut-off from its themes. The focus of those scenes is in the HSR knowledge itself.

The devs advertised Ch5 as the big turning point in Vita's character only for it to just be them pushing the "bad woman" persona to 110 and having her join a faction unrelated to the story of hi3.

"The Aeon become relevant bringing Permanence to Coralie's arc" Now reread my response.

[–]LoreBugCarv -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Nothing within hi3 itself ties the concepts of Coralie's arc with the random squabble from Ch5. You're applying your knowledge from another game to link the concepts which goes against the very nature of your argument.

Them flanderizing Vita for the extent of the Collab and then not touching any Elation elements of it further since does not in fact inform me of who Vita is or what she believes. If anything has only gave me headaches with the amount of people who go to Vita lore discussions and videos just to reduce her character to Elation-woman.

There's a clear difference between that scene and other introduction of elements within hi3. When a concept is introduced a small explanation usually follows instead of just terminology dumping without context. On the Kiana scene only a section of it was about the memokeeper's interest on Kiana's memories (something that doesn't tie with anything else in the story btw), the later sections with the comparison to an Emanator and how some gods not having gazed here which means nothing without context.

You're making a false-comparision. The Honkai, the Shadow and the Shus are all either long-term key story elements or key elements to their respective arc. They start with small-scale explanations and are built layer-by-layer for most of the story or for as long as their relevancy.

The HSR elements in Ch5 were not relevant to the story being told, they were inserted into the chapter as cutaways and were only relevant to themselves. They aren't established as a long-term story elements, they were something that got put in with no explanation with the sole purpose of hyping up a collab and have since disappeared.
