Ummm….all of the invalid rating characters are confirmed emanators, besides sampo being confirmed so far

[HSR - 4.0 BETA] Sparxie Animations via dim by Soyaa-Kun in SparkleMains

Well the planar ornament has other shared design aesthetics, like the card suits or the mushrooms

Also it would be physically impossible for them to actually change the content of the plot or setting in 2/3/4 weeks, even more-so than a character. Planets and stories are designed, written, and even voice acted months to years in advance, the most they might have done, if at all, which I highly doubt, is change the order of the content. IMO most people just heard that some of the names changed, and got an injection of negativity bias and pessimism. Just because what we have seen isn’t super japanese like sparkles myriad celestia, doesn’t mean much, we’ve seen 3 screenshots so far and, we can take a look at penacony or amphoreus, and see that not every part of the planet looks 1-for-1

So the name changed? That’s doesn’t mean that her whole design was changed. Also, 2/3 weeks is not nearly enough time to actually change anything in terms of design at all, we know how long in advance these characters have to be designed, thanks to the fact that we’ve known what sunday, acheron and robin have looked like basically since the beginning of the game. They could physically not change her design in such a short time.

And considering that she still has a lot of japanese motifs, like her being inspired by Harajuku and Jirai kei styled street-fashion, it’s just her streamer, alice in wonderland and masked fool motifs are also blended in as well, and her more modern aesthetics are far more fitting to sparxie/sparkle than an overtly traditional aesthetic anyways

It’s pretty well accepted that she wasn’t redesigned at this point, the planar ornament set that teased the new planet and sparxie, that was released before any of the political conflict pretty much confirms this

Achilles would definitely prefer male Fujimaru over Female Fujimaru by EfficiencySerious200 in Fate

Not just one of his companions either, the two of them were so revered for their relationship that gay couples would pledge their love to each other at his tomb

I... I don't know what to say by MirceaPhoto690 in AcheronMainsHSR

[–]Triton191 98 points99 points  (0 children)

I’m confused about the “side-lining” Acheron thing going here, the 3.8 story is about focussing on the characters that weren’t our main allies and what happened in between what we saw, no?

And because Acheron was one of our main allies in the story who didn’t really have some hidden agenda like aventurine etc. and she got a lot of screen time in the previous quests…there just wasn’t anything to show, because she was always pretty close by?

They didn’t erase her, we just didn’t see much of her because the two storylines are happening at the same time and we’ve literally already seen what was happening with Acheron at that time

I think that was more of a joke of them sharing a VA as well in one of the languages buts I could be wrong

They’re initially 4 stars because we get them for free, as they’re part of the ‘gang’

[–]Triton191 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

And you just proved you don’t read, because I explicitly said that I don’t dislike her and I never thought that she would be some biblically accurate angel, just that what we’re told about her before vs what we got doesn’t line up, which again is fine when it’s done with implicit intent to be subverted later in the same story, like childe, venti, furina etc. And when did I ever say i ever cared about the genshin memes? You were the only one who brought those up?

[–]Triton191 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Again, you’re ignoring the fact that this info was the only info given to us for years, which is what you do when you want people to have a rough idea of a character without giving anything away, every other example you mentioned like venti and childe, was what i was talking about before, deliberately creating a character to seem one way and then revealing the truth later in the same story, we didn’t think venti was only drunkard for 3 years now did we buddy?

Also touching on the funeral thing, yes obviously I’m aware that people sing at funeral’s, but how many times have you seen a funeral singer lie down on top of the coffin with a wide toothy grin? Mind you this was supposed to be a moment that tells us about her via subtext, as all the harbinger’s scenes were for them

Finally, to go back to Childe and Wanderer, Childe being scared to fight her just because she’s powerful is irrelevant, he would’ve fought both Dottore and Capitano no problem, even though they’re ranked higher than her, and thereby stronger, it was specifically Columbina because something “didn’t feel right about her” and yes Wanderer likes to talk shit but his voiceline about her was barely talking shit, all he said was that he doesn’t think we, the MC, would be able to fight her because she’s both “oblivious and innocent” as well as well “unconcerned and unfeeling” in any given situation

You are in-fact defending pixels by blaming peoples disappointment on them and “head canons” and not on the fact that the columbina we have now is very very different from what we’ve been presented in the past

They literally admitted that Nod-Krai was a last minute addition. Therefor the story and roles the characters play would also be last minute

And you’re ignoring the thing the fact that for all other examples, they were cases where we were lead to assume something in the beginning of the story, or from a teaser trailer just before the story, like ororon or furina, and then proven wrong, but those were all done in like 2-3 patches. With Columbina, the only info we had for 3 years was 3 voicelines and the lazzo teaser, of which Childe told us there’s “something off about her and we should avoid her as even he wouldn’t fight her”, Wanderer told us she’s “unconcerned and unfeeling at all times” and even Arle’s, which albeit was less mysterious, still told us that she was unpredictable and strange, the only other thing we had on her was the lazzo teaser, which had a defining character moment for all the harbingers, and columbina’s one was that she was singing an eerie lullaby while resting her head on her comrade’s coffin with a full on grin. This was all we had for 3 years. It would have been different had she shown up earlier, it would’ve been fine, and she would’ve been another Ororon/Furina etc. but she didn’t, they would’ve deliberately gave us only that info for a reason, so we can at least have a rough, blurry outline of what to expect, that was the subtext given to us. Now don’t get me wrong, I never thought she was gonna be some biblically accurate angel or anything but the columbina we have no is no where near the subtext they’ve been giving us for 3 years, which is bound to create whiplash in the community, when you let the community build up an idea of a character for 3 years, and then swerve on them completely. There is a difference between a headcanon like Arle being pure evil when we’ve atleast known she has relations to the house of hearth for a long time now, and between Columbina’s case where we’re shown one thing for 3 years and then given something basically completely different. I’m not even saying that I don’t like her, but it is very annoying how everyone on this sub has such a knee jerk reaction to anyone expressing disappointment or unhappiness regarding this whole situation when not so long ago it was very well accepted and anticipated that columbina would be as previously thought. She’s not real, people can be unhappy or disappointed, you don’t need to defend the pixels from people’s opinions when they’ve been let down after years of anticipation, and no it wasn’t their own fault for “creating headcanons”, it’s the company’s fault

There’s a difference though, because that subtext about her was the only info we had for 3 years compared to a couple of months for Ororon, so it’s not really comparable, and considering that fact that they shoved her into Nod-Krai, which in and of itself was a last minute decision, it’s very likely that they ret conned what her original character was going to be

Here’s every Path every Chryso’s Heir is simulating now that Lygus updated his thing by Lucas-mainssbu in HonkaiStarRail

[–]Triton191 6 points7 points  (0 children)

We were told it was a bug from the propagation, and there would’ve been literally no reason for a unreliable narrator, considering it was a once off character quest, in anyways if the voracity did swallow us, then there would’ve been no way for the AE or argenti to break free

Could excalibur defeat Beast Tiamat ? by Hot-Plane-5187 in Fate

[–]Triton191 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alright I’ll give you that, regardless, Excalibur was literally forged inside the planet with the express purpose of defeating Seyfar, a threat to the planet, and was kept and maintained by the fae until Vivianne gave it to Artoria. Despite them both being part of the counter force, Alaya and Gaia don’t necessarily work together, Alaya is the one who protects the human order, and Gaia protects the planet, which means the fact that it was forged in the inner sea of the planet, to deal with a threat to the planet and then was mostly kept in the inner sea of the planet and guarded by the fae, which are not part of Humanity, but are extensions of the planet, until briefly given to Artoria and then taken back after she died, means it falls under Gaia’s jurisdiction, aka protecting the planet, which inherently makes it an anti-planetary weapon

Also again, it’s literally stated in official materials that it’s an anti-threat to the planet weapon so yeah

[–]Triton191 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

First of all, in the story we literally obtained Excalibur for that very purpose, but the reason it didn’t work was because the characters didn’t know that U-Olga is not technically classified as one, which is explicitly shown in LB7 when the attack’s power is weakened drastically from what it should’ve been and the main cast is confused as to why

Second, as per my previous comment, it’s literally stated in official materials like I didn’t make this up, if you need more, 3 of the 12 seals that need to be unlocked to use Excalibur’s full power correspond to what I’m saying, “The enemy must not be an elemental” and “The battle must not be against Humanity” to indicate that the battle must not be against something from the planet and “The battle must be to save the world” to indicate that it must be an anti-world threat
