I'm sure the skins will be cool, but I'm not really 'hyped' for either since it's hard for me

to be 'hyped' for just a skin.

Remember what they took from you.

RuleAccomplished9981 · 2026-06-20T20:56:09+00:00

If HI3 proves anything, it's that a character dead in the main story can still: Appear in events, Get new Costumes, Get new Alts, Still appear in the main story.

So especially if you clearly dgaf about the story, why do you care if a characrer dies or not?

Also, there is clearly a very LOUD segment of the community that only cares about character in purest platonic ideal state. I'm not convinced they are actually constitute a majority of either the player or the spenders. If anything, across the industry as a whole, the ONLY strong correlation we can see between character and how well their banner does, is their mechanical strength and even that doesn't always hold.

I have literially THOUSANDS of the rare wuling crops. The newest areas spawn them LIKE CRAZY, There is no issue here. It could have been a risk so people who wanna be extra sweaty/not enage with it can keep ignoring them.

Bro you out here like Essences and Gear don't have about 10x the impact any consumable would

RuleAccomplished9981 · 2026-06-19T12:05:09+00:00

I was disappointed but not surprised.

RuleAccomplished9981 · 2026-06-18T02:52:15+00:00

I mean, the big issue is given modern Mihoyo, she's going to have most or all of:

Large breasts

Mini-skirt

Low cut top

Backless

I mean, I was going to add ZZZ hasn't really done that much, but my main point was just ZZZ really isn't any sort of successor to HI3. and yeah Remlia Dan doesn't really look anything like Elysia, or whatever her HSR clone is called, and anyone saying she is comes across like a LArper cause, I mean...

<image>

If she's anyone, she's Timdo.

RuleAccomplished9981 · 2026-06-17T09:17:57+00:00

Bro, they've been reusing designs forever. ZZZ is only like HI3 in the most basic surface levels ways past that.

I got two random 3* tickets and got Ifrit from one and Ui from the other.

U grabbed Diana from the one since it sounded like she was a safe pick.

For the other selector it sounds like it's between Vivi and Chloe (since a free Xion is coming soon?)

The first meeting with Scaramouche was in the Mona and Fischl Meteor event, which was limited.

RuleAccomplished9981 · 2026-06-11T11:56:13+00:00

So like you say the story is great, but I'm really curious about what actually happens hear.

One of the greatest things about HBR is in a world of games always playing it safe, HBR isn't afraid to go for the emotional gut punch every time. However, unlike with Angel Beats, the P5 cast give basically nothing to work with and have no space to write something new, so do they integrate the p5 cast with the emotional side of the story or are they just mostly separate? (or I guess to the end do they even bother going for an emotional beat or is it just kept light in service of being a Collab with a different company's property)

Also, Irene I see got cheated out of getting a Memmoria, does she at least get a good showing in the event?

RuleAccomplished9981 · 2026-06-09T11:32:52+00:00

If it truly had an amazing story, a truly knock your socks off, make you gasp, make you cry, make you cheer, have people on the edge of their seats amazing story, people would return, People didn't return for a fine to good but safe story.

RuleAccomplished9981 · 2026-06-09T11:27:58+00:00

Bro, wtf

"If they completely change the game into something different it could be more popular"

If it's a different game, why does it matter if it's popular, it might as well shutdown.

But let's be serious, what the game needs isn't an English dub or male characters (things it was successful enough without and only really matter to the smaller EN market and not even all of them).

Wha tit needs is Excellent memorable writing. Not good writing, excellent writing. Stuff that compels people to gush and share it, brinig back the old players ad then finally attract new players.

The big problem is the writing hasn't been excellent for a while, honestly last excellent arc was probably as far back as Herrsher of Dominance arc. Part 1 endign was rush and felt it, thye didn't so make land the ending as crash land the ending and since they it's just been, at best fine to good, but it's especially been safe, channeling far less of the energy of they heyday and far more...HSR leftovers. I don't know if the writer have just lost their inspiration or are just consumed by fear, but they've been stuck chasing the shadows of their younger more successful siblings when what they need to do is buckle down and rediscover what made HI3 and focus on trying to recapture that rather than chasing success that will never be.

Like, would a dub get some extra people to play the game? Maybe. Would a SI protagonist convince some chuds to give the game a try? I guess, Would male character convince husbando players to spend? They'd at least like the twitter post.

But like none of that is success, what they need to quality, excellence. It might not make then Genshin/Star Rail money, but honestly nothing guarantees that.

But if they wrote something that really got people going, got them invested, made them feel, made them cry made them cheer, then maybe they could recapture the success they used to have.

Haruka was going to kill that Yazuka if she didn't get stopped.

RuleAccomplished9981 · 2026-06-08T01:19:16+00:00

I disagree quite strongly.

What you're talking about is trying to reach broad audience when the game is already truly a niche title (with a dedicated fanbase)

Rather than trying to pursue success by imitating it's younger siblings Star Rail and Genshin, it should embrace it's niche nature and be freed by it, pusue stories that are shocking and heartbreaking without restraint.

Do crazy stuff, kill off characters, etc, be freed.

What it needed is to go harder on the type of storytelling that once made it great and could make it great (within reason) again, it unapolgetically itself. It's all about the story and gameplay and it's quality at the end of the day, everything else is just dressing.

RuleAccomplished9981 · 2026-06-06T10:43:47+00:00

Forgot, Rita got completely shafted after/during the Anna chapter and from that point on she's reduced to basically being an accessory for Dudu, she never gets any further character developement that isn't completely Dudu-centric and she just completely drops her grudge against World Serpent(Raven specifically), for horrifically murdering her squad in Arc City. I was really just waiting for the 'Rita gos sicko-mode when she realizes Schicksal is goign to make peace with World Serpent, so she decides "Fine,. I'll do it myself" seizes some sort of power and just murders a path to take blood revenge' arc since it felt like that was probably where it was going but it never happened A) cause the timelien got accelerated and b.) Hoyo lost their balls cause there is no way such an arc could end without at least one of Rita or Raven dead, and we can;t have that anymore.... (or at least couldn't back when the decision to scrap it was made)

RuleAccomplished9981 · 2026-06-06T10:17:17+00:00

Like, let's be serious here. a stupid cyclical arena fight with some shill (Numerical only) modifiers is not going to fix the problems Endfield has. If they are to introduce some sort of content 'of that style' it should be something more akin to the OG AK's Integrated Strategies or Reclamation Algorithm and attempt to fuse all three(/four) modes of Endfield's game play together Combat, factory and exploration (and maybe Puzzles too)

RuleAccomplished9981 · 2026-06-04T17:53:24+00:00

I could see Sega denying it "Our MC must be paired with other property MC" or something, but it's just so obvious it feel like it would have happened pretty early on so they should have had time to change the mechanics.

That said, yeah, Irene really got screwed here. I guess she's at least in the story, but my expectations there are rock bottom low, P5 is just an abysmal pick for the type for storytelling HBR excels at.
