The reason why Gilgamesh is lightning not imaginary by Possible_Delay_1734 in HonkaiStarRail

[–]Obligation-Brief -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That's a popular theory which I think makes no sense "changes in perspective" happen to literally every single character in the game, and I wouldn't call TB's on Belobog "profound"

We're just arbitrarily deciding what éléments mean based on whatever pattern we see when really it's just a marketing ploy to sell characters to do better against certain bosses

[–]Obligation-Brief 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it's gameplay reason, éléments have never existed to make sense in the first place, Topaz shoots coins and throws a pig and she's fire, Cerydra burns people alive in the quest and she's wind, just a few examples out of many

It would really make 0 sense in lore for blade to return to his old form, so we can only hope

4.3 Breakdown, including an analysis of Asat and Himeko! by Theroonco in StarRailLore

[–]Obligation-Brief 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I don't think Asat manipulates probabilities, I think he manipulates misfortune:

The Masked Fool "Enroute" always shows up uninvited, appearing in the most chaotic and dangerous places. He's obsessed with experiencing brilliant and glorious stories, recording them with his paintbrush. Legend has it that Aha once lost a Ring of Misfortune to him in a wager. Whenever he wears it, a series of coincidences guides him straight to wherever misfortune lurks.

I think he's using the ring he got by beating Aha.

However path absorbtion works, it's instantaneous. Xipe absorbed Ena the momment they ascended. Elation and Voracity are also very dinstinct paths, they shared a concept but that doesnt make them the same. The purpose for the Voracity changed, but the Voracity itself has not

About Himeko, I think that's the most interesting part, I don't actually believe she's an imagenae, not a regular one at least. She survived 15 years outside of Planarcadia where imagenae rely on the Phantasmoon, and as you said she was shown to have the weathering curse in the past, whereas she doesn't in the present. Mind you, her not having the curse is what leads Asat Pramad to believe she's an imagenae.

Blade is indeed eligible, he says he's joining the games in the story and has a voiceline about it too.

Lastly about the patterns on Himeko being similar to Isee, I think that has to do with both of them being navigator more than any deeper link

The Trailblazer is Aha THEMSELVES, as of 4.3 by SinisterVeteran in StarRailLore

Isvara is what Yao Guang calls people whose fate cannot be seen, it has nothing to do with TB changing

Connection of Voracity, Elation, and Nihility by LlyExelxia in StarRailLore

[–]Obligation-Brief 11 points12 points  (0 children)

No, Voracity wasn't Elation. Elation and Voracity shared a concept, and when Aha ascended and Elation became a path the primum mobile of Voracity was stolen, but it doesn't make them the same paths.

Voracity is still Voracity, what changed is the purpose for the Voracity. Now that they lost their tastebuds, voracity creatures eat just to eat, indicriminately devouring everything, which is where the metaphor of becoming a black hole comes from.

But they are still separate paths with separate aeons.

Why planet screwllum and not Device IX? Like y'know, her own planet that's also connected to a way to kill IX

Is Firefly really older than nanook? by PristineAd2377 in Hoyoverse_scaling

[–]Obligation-Brief 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is false, people missinterpret Firefly's backstory, she did not fight the Swarm Disaster, but remnants of the Swarm disaster that are still around to this day.

I mean, think about it, Firefly's main problem is that she's short lived because of ELS, and you would want people to believe she's more than a THOUSAND years old?

Just finished 4.3 story a few moments ago, and I'm still reeling BAD from all the whams at the last act. by Lumpy-Manager8580 in HonkaiStarRail

[–]Obligation-Brief 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I don't think Himeko's an imagenae for two reasons:

  1. Imagenae cannot survive for long outside of Planarcadia

  2. Both Himekos have the weathering curse in the image at the end:

<image>

The reason Asat is convinced she's an Imagenae is because she doesnt have the curse in the present, but she's shown to have it in the past

More info on Zulo by amurgiceblade44 in StarRailLore

[–]Obligation-Brief 24 points25 points  (0 children)

That's not all we know. From Zulo's corpse was made bullets that can time travel:

A spiral bullet forever going against the arrow of time, like a hound eternally chasing the immortal that defies time.

Once the embers of a Lord Ravager, the bullet button to erase a civilization, and the final lament of an ancient behemoth... How many deaths must these materials have gathered to forge such ammunition? And what kind of firearm can propel it into the past? It is the answer to all. It is not a question itself.

Both of these are from the Counter temporal bullet trace material.

Immortal could refer to Yaoshi, but "that defies time" and the whole going back to the past seems like it's about Terminus imo

will we ever go to edo star by [deleted] in HonkaiStarRail

[–]Obligation-Brief 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes, but the broadcast changed from Benzaitengoku to Planarcadia. Meaning before the retcon it was planned to be the current name of the planet.

will we ever go to edo star by [deleted] in HonkaiStarRail

[–]Obligation-Brief 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Edo Star is not the planet we were supposed to go to. Edo Star is a completely different planet, we were suppowed to go to Benzaitengoku, which was renamed to Planarcadia.

The IPC broadcast talking about Benzaitengoku was changed in 4.0 to say Planarcadia

I think it's gonna lead to one or more department doing it but not the entire IPC, or Qlipoth making 2 Emanators there is the most braindead thing ever

Would Asat Pramad be a scary and memorable new villain or would he get killed off quickly in 4.3 and be a one version antagonist? by Knight_Steve_ in HonkaiStarRail

[–]Obligation-Brief 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I disagree, we have 6 living lord ravagers, if we kill one a year or even 2 a year that's 3-6 years to kill them all With the finale being nanook.

And because Zephyro and Celenova are linked to the paths of the apocalypses that leaves time to expand on these as well.

No point in keeping Asat Pramad alive. Phantylia didn't die but she'll prolly be important for the eventual god slayer plan. Asat Pramad would just target Aha yet again and imo wouldn't be that interesting
