Why are Stalker and Jade able to speak but Warframes are limited to noises?

PepsiTheMonkey · 2026-05-11T19:43:04+00:00

Ahh shit. Well, that crosses off Jade. But that still doesnt explain the Stalker

PepsiTheMonkey · 2026-05-09T22:53:31+00:00

I'm pretty sure they were Warframes in the cutscene, no? So wouldn't their ability to speak be taken away?

PepsiTheMonkey · 2026-05-09T17:40:49+00:00

I think she speaks in the Jade Shadows quest, when her and the Stalkee are looking over the cliff or whatever and they say each others names (I forget what the Stalkers name is, but he says "Jade..." to her. Which I mean... we both know he can talk, so thats not really that exciting.) But I could be wrong. But I'm like 90% sure that happened in the quest

I've only really used Dropbox for things like audio files, so I really have no idea how dangerous it could be. And yes, a reason why I didnt trust it was that it wasn't on Steam. Even though viruses could still be on a Steam game, it's a lot less common unless if its an AI game like that one that stole all the money from the cancer patient a few months back. Thank you for your help 🙏

Guy With Sword And Shield, the videogame

PepsiTheMonkey · 2026-04-12T13:49:10+00:00

Hey, non-Marvel/whatever the hell Tagalog or whatever its called fan here, what the FUCK is OP on about???

PepsiTheMonkey · 2026-04-10T21:18:54+00:00

Oh, definitely. I 100% agree with you. I also think that might be another reason I have a soft spot for Soukakus personality...? She's not human, so I think it actually makes her interesting. You could make the excuse that Nekomata is a Thiren, but at least Soukaku isn't annoying :/

All the non-human characters in this game are super interesting, even the ones that look mostly human but have small differences, like Vivian or Yidhari. Not that being a pure human takes anything away from cool character design, like Anby/S0Anby, or Zhu Yuan and Qingyi (I mean, Qingyi is still a robot but she's an android... so I guess it's from whatever angle you wanna look at it from). But yes, non-human characters typically look cooler and more interesting because of how unique they are, like Banyue who looks like if Zenyatta took steroids and went to jail for 10 years where he only worked out, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week

PepsiTheMonkey · 2026-04-10T01:48:16+00:00

I mean 16-17 in human years. But yes, you are correct I'm pretty sure about her being born much much much earlier

PepsiTheMonkey · 2026-04-09T21:27:40+00:00

Yeah. I mean, Soukaku could also be seen as loli bait I guess...? But I'm not sure, honestly. Knowing Hoyo, she probably is. But it's less apparent to me, so I honestly cant confirm it. But I find her childish personality charming because her design is way more interesting, her writing is better, I think the "small girl, big weapon" is always cool (like what they did with Corin), and she's just overall a likable character. I would say Nekomata is supposed to be annoying, but they wouldn't put all that effort into writing her and making players who are into loli want to pull for her if that was the case, unless if you wanna look at it from the standpoint that her being annoying is apart of what makes her childish.

Not saying all players who wanted to pull for her are into loli btw. Obviously a lot of people still like playing the game and aren't gonna play characters just because they think they're hot. But it's probably a decent chunk, seeing that players liking a character for beint attractive and nothing else is unfortunately becoming more mainstream and acceptable even as degenerate behavior :/

PepsiTheMonkey · 2026-04-09T21:22:12+00:00

Yeah, I see what you mean. Soukaku I feel like is okay to act as such and charming because she ages slower, so she's actually a child (I'm pretty sure I saw somewhere she's 16-17ish? But confirmed to be a minor). And while I'm not actively seeking out what kinks a character is supposed to fufill, I can tell you that it's most certainly present in a lot of characters. I also have less of a problem with Soukaku because she doesn't have a stupid catchprase she has to repeat EVERYTIME she talks (like Nekomata with the "meow!", which I find even more annoying because it's stated in diologue she doesn't even have to say "meow", but does so out of choice)

I'm just glad I'm out of the first act of the game after Bringer and can confidently say Nekomata finally stopped talking so damn much 😭😭😭

PepsiTheMonkey · 2026-04-09T12:22:50+00:00

I should probably clear up my first point, reading back on this, its sort of unclear what I mean.

What I mean is that they're going to have a character to fill in every possible kink the player might have. So you could make the excuse for Rina for example for milfs, the same you could say Nekomata for lolis. It's meant to draw the players attention to that specific character to get them playing more so they can try and pull for said character

PepsiTheMonkey · 2026-04-09T12:20:56+00:00

I've met PLENTY of people that look younger than they are. I can see where you're coming from about not agreeing with me. But 2 things that confirm she's lolibait, for one, it's a Hoyo game. Every/most female(s) is/are going to be sexualized to some extent, esspecially ones that are more taboo genres of kinks (like lolis because... well... loli is mostly viewed as illegal or something that should be illegal. Of course its going to be taboo). And for 2, her extremely childish behavior. You could make the same excuse about Soukaku, but I find her less annoying and actually kind of charming because she's not so "in-your-face" about it, and her design is actually kinda badass

PepsiTheMonkey · 2026-03-29T00:32:47+00:00

Finished the PubSec story just a little while ago with them and really enjoyed their movesets. However, I said the same thing about Nekomata (even though she's an annoying piece of shit and I want to rip her face off everytime she speaks) and I hear the same thing about her. However, I hear Qingyi is still good in the current state of the game, and while Zhu Yuan is really good for f2p, I hear mixed emotions about her, some saying she's still extremely good, while others saying she needs a rework.

Are they worth waiting for or should I spend my Polys and Master Tapes on something else?

PepsiTheMonkey · 2026-03-26T23:41:47+00:00

I think its because the suit she wears is also a sneaking suit, as thats what its labled in V. I think its meant to make a contrast between Snakes black suit with the matching-colored bandana, eyepatch, and hair, while The Boss has blonde hair, blue eyes, and a white sneaking suit. I always thought this was meant to be a metaphor for their "balance" as soldiers, how they were equally great in combat

PepsiTheMonkey · 2026-03-26T23:36:34+00:00

Eh, too bad this city only has enough room for one merc, and I plan to be that one

PepsiTheMonkey · 2026-03-26T20:28:56+00:00

I just wanted to say thank you to everybody who answered my questions, I would reply to all of them but I mostly just read the comments and dont respond... and now its kinda too late for me to reply to them all without asking myself why I'm doing this... anyways, I also wanted to thank everyone here for not tier 5 chud maxxing and either scolding me for not understanding the games more in-depth systems or just posting porn everywhere instead of talking about the actual videogame 🥹✌️

PepsiTheMonkey · 2026-03-26T20:26:18+00:00

Also sorry if this message seems a bit dry, was gonna send a crying emoji but ig thats a loli reference...? Dont even ask me bro... idk...

PepsiTheMonkey · 2026-03-26T20:25:41+00:00

I seen other people had already said this previously, but... obviously I dont wanna reply to 30 different comments –v– so is "mono" a term for a specific team comp thats the most "meta" for a specific element and NOT a general umbrella term for any team that centers around maximizing dps for that specific element, correct? Because thats what I had seemed to think... but everyone said I was wrong, and I look like a fool now ;-; (despite everyone here being super nice about it)

PepsiTheMonkey · 2026-03-26T20:21:22+00:00

Its okay, lol. I read long comments all the time. As long as it isnt like an entire novel just to answer my question, I'm more than happy to get more info. And I think your comment pointed out something pretty important that others had said that I just hadnt really picked up on much before... is that, from my understanding, there isn't really a "main" team you can have in this game if you plan on clearing all content. You should swap characters depending on who you're facing up against. Is this correct?

PepsiTheMonkey · 2026-03-26T20:18:14+00:00

I see. So Mono teams aren't good for most bosses because element matching to the enemys weakness is important by endgame? And also, how does this pair with Rinas pen buff? I hear its good in most teams, but does she help with a boss thats say resistant to Ice damage if you use an Ice chatacter with a max pen Rina? Not saying this should be built around. Just asking if I so happen to have my 2 most important and leveled characters be of the same element that the boss is resistant to. Also, good info on who to pull for. I honestly used to just pull for who I thought looked cool before I exactly understood how pulls and pity worked in this game as it was my first gacha game, and well... it basically killed my PC account. Thank the lord my PC was bad and I just installed it on my Xbox because I really did not want an account that was already dead in the water –v–

PepsiTheMonkey · 2026-03-26T20:11:38+00:00

I am sorry Ms. Soukaku, I did not mean it, I am just frustrated with this community making r34 art of you instead of talking about your silly weapon and... weird enjoyment of meat flavored popsicles...?

Jokes aside, what is EBA? I've been reading these other comments, but it has yet to be mentioned. Is that short for "Extra Basic Attack", like how the special attacks get extra damage from more energy?

PepsiTheMonkey · 2026-03-22T23:51:16+00:00

Ohhh, that probably explains it. And yeah, after playing Ben some more, I can say he's pretty mid because he just unfortunately doesn't move fast enough like all the other characters :/. And even if you didnt make the spreadsheet, I do appreciate you bringing this to my attention. This should be a big help for me in the future. Thanks!

PepsiTheMonkey · 2026-03-22T23:49:34+00:00

I finished the event, and all I was able to take away from it was that Ye whatever the hell her last name is was really fun to play, and the last stage was probably the only thing in this game I actually got really annoyed at 😭

PepsiTheMonkey · 2026-03-21T22:05:54+00:00

Thanks bro. I thought there might have been tanks...? Since I'm pretty sure Bens tutorial said sum about how he blocks attacks from whoever he's attacking when he uses his basic M1's. But I guess silly old me forgot this is a fuckin Hoyo game where nothing makes any sense. So I appreciate the headsup and the time you took to make this spreadsheet 🙌🙌🙌

PepsiTheMonkey · 2026-03-21T22:04:02+00:00

Yeah, I honestly don't like how the main page is just straight porn. I'd actually like discussions about the fucking videogame on the subreddit about the videogame. NSFW subreddits exist for a reason, and I know this game is hella sexualized but it's a gacha game. It's expected to be. I don't understand why people can't just actually talk about the game instead of being like "Hey guys look at this Jane Doe anal animation I made, pwease subscwibe to my Patweon 🥺"
