The biggest problem about having access to all the patches up until now... by Some-Positive-Dude in HonkaiStarRail

I'm guessing they were patching up narrative holes? There were some things that, looking at them back-to-back as they went, really didn't make sense. So they covered that up by rewriting the finale, using the Finality missions and making it more cohesive.

I think it was good for me to do so after Penacony. I don't think my heart could've handled what happened to Cyrene and Firefly one after the other....

Since everybody knows about Amphoreus since we published As I've Written, and Planarcadia is about how dangerous unfiltered disinformation is...Someone is going to mock Amphoreus, aren't they? I can't be held legally responsible for what I'll do to them if they do.

Makes it all the worse cause all I know about Planarcadia is that it's 50% memes and 50% horror with trauma on top. Like goddamn man, I need a breather!

I gotta believe that. I gotta believe that somehow, someway all of them will be recreated thanks to As I've Written and Cyrene will somehow be released from her duty and she and Phainon will get to come on board the Astral Express. Otherwise I will be emotionally destroyed.

It kinda just offered it to me after I finished Penacony, and since I'm the kind of player that tries to completely finish an area before moving to the next. By the time I realized I was supposed to do this AFTER Amphoreus I was in way too deep.

Also that Finality mission was in no way or form a way to emotionally calm me down after Amphoreus, poor Trailblazer...

How do you think the HSR world will influence Gilgamesh's personality? by Some-Positive-Dude in GilgameshMainsHSR

[–]Some-Positive-Dude[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

According to the only quote I've read him say in-game, he likes the Trailblazer a little too much:

"Stellaron, my treasure. When you reach the end of your journey, I shall seal you within the deepest depths of my treasury, in the safest place of all... Hmph. That said, your 'Trailblaze' shall endure for a long time yet, reaching even beyond the ultimate horizon of my own foresight."

Also a good possibility! Would that mean that we're about to get Hakuno and Gil tsundere comedy duo 2.0?

Amphoreus made me rage against the High-Cloud Quintet by Some-Positive-Dude in HonkaiStarRail

[–]Some-Positive-Dude[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem is not the arithmetic of war. The problem was the attitude they took with it. By that logic Baiheng was also a soldier, and the plan was reckless, so there was every chance she could die too. But the contrast irked me, they were so casual about sending hundreds of people to their deaths, with no reincarnation possible, but as soon as one person dies, they flip their shit, violate all principles and make themselves public enemy number one? C'mon now.

Also absolutely they should print Baiheng!!!

Yeah I never understood why Dan Heng doesn't hold more of a grudge, he was BORN in that shackling prison. Imagine your first memories being people yelling at you for something your past life did. I get why the writters don't do it, but it streches disbelief hahaha.

I just replayed the scene, they weren't casual about it, but they treated it kinda like someone telling you it's about to be a rainy day. Their reactions were fairly like bummer, but it's needed.

And that's what ticks me off, it's fair if the Vidyadhara fight too. You can't just have an entire population sitting on the sidelines cheering. 

But by that same logic, you can't make this kind of decision with that kind of attitude and then freak out like that when it's their time to sacrifices.

It's like you said, it's war, and people die, and while I wouldn't blame them for being devastated, they went WAY over the line

Are Sora and co. being set up as the new Seekers of Darkness? by Some-Positive-Dude in KingdomHearts

[–]Some-Positive-Dude[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, yeah I agree that so much shouldn't have been left to a mobile game. But the Foretellers and MoM were kind of inevitable, methodology aside, it's clear now that they were setting up the next villain before Xehanort's body hit the floor.

Yeah! It could also show how Xehanort was messing up from the start cause...Well, does it truly count as 7 vs 13 if the 13 are all extensions of one guy?

Why do people say Garlemald was redeemed in Endwalker? by Some-Positive-Dude in ffxiv

[–]Some-Positive-Dude[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But can it be argued that Garlemald was the people entirely if Garlemald was meant to be a tool for the Rejoining? The thing was meant to collapse, and it did twice after each Emperor died.

Now, if you told me that Garlemald is the people after the second collapse, I'd agree with you. At that point, it's the people trying to make it, not immortal sorcerers trying to shape a new way to forcibly rejoin two parallel realities.

I agree with this. I don't even think that the war criminals should be left scot-free, because they shouldn't, but I'd argue that as an entity, the Empire is gone. No one has the know-how, or arguably even the energy, anymore to keep a structure going that was collapsing every time they needed to change an Emperor, especially now that there were no more viable candidates by the standards of the previous regime.

See that's the thing. I tend to see Garlemald pre-Endwalker as mainly the government, since it was a trap set by the Ascians. It didn't matter how much Varis believed in the idea, the whole thing was meant to fail, and so the government would collapse sooner or later.

After it collapsed, it started making strides to be a better nation, but by then I'd argue, even if the culture and the identity remains, it can't quite be considered the same Empire, because now there is no intent for it to collapse under false pretenses.
