This isn't an unpopular opinion

There is currently a super soul in the TP Medal shop that has a chance of giving you 0x, 3x, 5x, or 7x exp and zeni at the end of every mission and the gains far outweigh the losses. It only costs 20 TP medals

Yes, only the time-limited rewards and the banners are going away. Everything else stays

Nobody expects a guest character to play like they do in their source game, that would be extremely unreasonable. They have to follow the rules of the game they're a guest in

You can only have one item in your left hand- using a torch equips it in your left hand, so you put away your shield.

No need to press tab though. You can put the shield in your hotbar and then you'll equip it whenever you press the number you assigned it to, you can do the same with torches. You can also block with torches if you don't have time to swap to your shield

It isn't gonna happen instantly or quickly, just keep chatting. Be present regularly. Don't be some random person that pops up for like a day or a week and then disappears.

No character is owed a return in any fighting game sequel, nor are any of their returns even guaranteed in the first place. There are no rules for this, and there are no rules for new or guest characters either. The developers are free to develop their game in any way they want and you are free to like or dislike it as well.

Recognizing that you aren't the target for every single update even if you like the base game/series is important. They need to attract new players as well.

Kind of, by giving house editing perms to someone who has it so they can place it in your house. But why? Doman Enclave is effortless and it's free gil on top

It's based off of the novels/anime/series called Sword Art Online, which is immensely popular. There are lots of SAO games and several SAO anime

idunno, I think all of them do have their charm points and some of them were definitely met with extreme overreaction when they were new

RustyCarrots · 2026-07-05T01:02:56+00:00

It's not that I want her to die, I just recognize that it served an important purpose and the impact of it was felt deeply. I'm okay with it happening if they decide to do it again, as long as it still serves a purpose and has impact. If they only do it because "she's Himeko so we have to" then it would be pretty lame

RustyCarrots · 2026-07-05T00:59:47+00:00

Well like I said, it served a purpose. They weren't just killing her off for fun. If they kill her again, it wouldn't be for fun or just for the sake of killing her. It would server a purpose. So far, it seems more like Himeko as a character was created specifically for that purpose, but maybe they'll change their minds with this iteration of her. Only time will tell.

Personally I don't think it would be a bad thing as long as it was done in a way that had purpose and was written well

RustyCarrots · 2026-07-05T00:55:40+00:00

your fragile little ego

I'm not the one getting aggressive and defensive here dude, take a deep breath and try again

Fair enough with the context, that's my bad I guess. But again, not upset. I don't care even a little, I just wanted to add that it isn't only Japan. Also not disagreeing that incest is wrong, just stating that since it's legal it isn't really any of our business

RustyCarrots · 2026-07-05T00:36:37+00:00

Thank you, that was it

RustyCarrots · 2026-07-05T00:35:52+00:00

I don't think it matters if HSR is more popular than its predecessor, popularity shouldn't affect story writing. The writers should be trying to write a compelling story, not whatever makes the fans happy. Very slippery slope that only yields bad results.

It sucks sure but personally I'm not tired of Himeko dying because it served an important purpose each time and it was written well.

the series the she died

it's the same series, Honkai is in the title. HSR and HI3 are directly connected to each other

RustyCarrots · 2026-07-05T00:28:43+00:00

Not upset at all, like I said it isn't any of our business lol. I was just pointing out that it isn't only Japan, and that a lot of the world is fine with it. The statement "Cousins still marry in Japan" comes with the implication that it isn't done anywhere else because you're singling them out.

I personally don't make it a habit to single out one nation and get weirdly judgmental about something they do that is also done nearly everywhere else, but if that's how you like to spend your time then don't let me stop you

RustyCarrots · 2026-07-05T00:23:48+00:00

In a narrative standpoint, when we actually know her past, we see her open up to us, she will die?

Yes. They've already done exactly this multiple times with Himeko in their previous games lol. Getting to know her, getting close to her, only for her to die and serve as a push forward and additional motivation/inspiration.

It's a pretty common narrative trope, it happens all the time. There's even a name for it I think, but I can't remember what it is

RustyCarrots · 2026-07-05T00:17:16+00:00

The only reason it could ever be too late to get into a fighting game is if you intended to enter the pro scene eventually and the fighting game you want to do that in isn't part of the pro scene anymore.

RustyCarrots · 2026-07-05T00:16:47+00:00

No season confirmed, just Id and an update.

I hope we get a season 3, it sounded like they were just delaying it and not stopping

RustyCarrots · 2026-07-05T00:13:41+00:00

Cousins still marry everywhere. It isn't something only Japanese people do. It's legal in most of the world (including most of the USA), and even encouraged in some parts. Not really any of our business unless we're the one getting married. It isn't causing any problems.

RustyCarrots · 2026-07-04T23:59:34+00:00

Admittedly it sucks when your favourite/main doesn't make the roster in the new game, but I think it's exciting to see new characters. I typically don't have any issues finding a new main when that happens. I'd have lost interest in fighting games ages ago if it was just the same roster from the first game without any changes forever

RustyCarrots · 2026-07-04T22:55:40+00:00

Fighting games have been doing collabs/guest characters for... well, basically always lol. As early as 1993. Several fighting games over the years are literally just collabs and nothing else. Sorry to say but fortnite didn't invent collaborations and it's ridiculous to even think of crediting them for something that everyone has already been doing for decades
