Just wanted to add to your point. At that point in time, 2018, gacha games were more Visual Novel with added combat. Granblue Fantasy, FGO, Azur Lane, GFL, etc. People need to understand that at that time, the Visual Novel format are standard in the industry. Nowadays its open world. The complete difference is important because it shows how vastly different the target audience they had before compared to now. The more gacha games became well known worldwide, the more these companies understand that the Visual Novel format doesn't really click to global audiences, hence the change and now here we are, open world. HI3 was peak at its time. The fact that the game is slowly going open world shows they are slowly adapting to the modern gacha world. The issue is like you said, part 1 is a slog because of its format. But move past that, it does get better. It isnt ideal, especially because of its age but mihoyo is willing enough to modernize it shows how much they still care for the game.

I'm happy if I was somehow useful to you ♥

@@KittyKathee yes you were ! I follow you since not so long ^^ I love glasses and glasses girls in anime/manga, so I really liked your model with the big glasses 👌👓👓😊

@@KittyKathee and I play gachas too

Death is not the only thing that can bring stakes but is a very useful one. It serves as an ending of the journey of life, for without and ending there is no journey as the destination has already been removed thus making it just an aimless wander in a direction. They try not to make this the case in Star Rail but the main issues I have is that they have not substituted it with something else. In Honkai Impact they had Otto, he served as the risk in which he outsmarted the main cast and nearly always came out on top with a plan for every variable. He gave weight to the conflicts as if he won them completely then the story would be drastically different. Kevin served the same role but in a different way. He remained the single most powerful character by bearing the weight of his entire era on his shoulders. He represented the desperation and human spirit to cling to existence through the project Stigma that he chose to carry. He was given weight through the Elysium Realm in which we saw the history of a people so desperate to survives against and on slot of a much more powerful foe. He and the project Stigma represented the only way that they, those in the previous era, saw as the only way to "defeat" the honkai when all other plans had crumbled. It's not because he was just strong that gave him weight, but it was through the sacrifices and his witnessing of those sacrifices that were heavy. So when he finally opposed the main cast it was not a battle of good and evil it was more of a battle of ideals, the necessity written in the blood of those who have passed and a form of idealism, reaching out for the path in which everyone can be saved. Its not about the death, its about the goals and questions in Honkai Impact 3rd. They don't fight others because they are evil but because of their experiences. Is it wrong that Otto, someone who would sacrifice the world itself, would only do so because that same world once betrayed him by killing the only one who extended their hand out to him? Is it really incorrect to turn your back upon those who do the same to you? Death in itself is meaningless, the millions that Otto kills throughout his life are basically nothing to us whose brains barely can't envision it, but when you experience death firsthand of someone close to you. It hurts. It was never about how many die in one given moment we would not shed a tear if a billion people we have never met would die across the globe, but those that would truly impact us are those that are close to us, it's our understanding that gives us pain for them, our every meeting and every interaction that makes them "human" rather than a number. You can only be so sad for a number but you can really feel for someone whose story you have followed. It is through this final goodbye that we as humans understand what it means to be so. Only when their is gone can we really feel their absence in our lives. Only when their gone can we see how they lived.

@@timothyv6528 what keep me on honkai for years was the thought of any character dying thats what keep me now otto and kevin as villains are the best I've seen but without the fear of failure or death those villains wouldnt mean nothing thats why honkai is memorable (tho id like 2part) honkai had its precursor ggz ending on the death of the entire cast of characters a sad ending no hero won at the end then we got honkai i kind of continuation of an alternative we won at the cost of millions of life kiana stuck at the moon and other characters face other problems, now on star rail i might not know much about it but it does not feel like any character can be gone, or failling its not a peril outcome its just failling get back up and do it again till the hero wins idk man deaths and people lives on the line while the hero wins or tries gives the story more emotion and u can say there are other ways but right now honkai did use that and thats why people say star rail or genshin cant surpass it tho star rail is new it has time to proves us wrong like honkai did at the start give them time and we will see (if something is not well written or not readable say it to me so i can try to fix it im not an english speaker)

@@xeosplayer1106 One to note is that there are things that are worse than death that could have occurred. Kevin did not have weight because he was going to kill everyone but because he was going to put a majority into a state different than death in project stigma. It is similar to the saying that if someone is both immortal and invincible they will eventually find themselves trapped someone in which death will be a better outcome such as being trapped at the center of a black hole in which you will suffer intense pain through the crush force (if you can feel it) or suffer mental pain of being entirely alone with only your thoughts to comfort you. These kinds of endings serve as the true worse outcomes that one can face without the fear of death as without an ending just as the happiness is eternal so is the suffering. That is one of the greatest threats an immortal person can face, if they live eternally then they will witness the deaths of those they care about. If they are invincible they will be the only one left standing upon battlefields littered with friends and foes alike, even unable to join them in death until a destined ending given through time. Star Rail is a game that through the vastness of its universe could utilize these elements to create tension but have not yet, they have yet to make someone such as Otto who is truly a threat who has a real chance at winning an engagement with the main cast. They need someone who can win a few battles to really set the stage with those battles having lasting effects on the main party which would create some real tension. Honkai Impact did this through the deaths in the story and the always confident Otto always seemingly coming out on top. They need someone who is not entirely wrong in their ways but someone who does so because of the life they have experienced. Something that can be taken as "good" if you were to take a look from their side. Some who is doing something for the good of those behind them at the cost of the good people who stand against them. Someone who is not morally grey but realistically human. Star Rail does not need death per say but they need something or someone to leave a lasting change in the main cast. An event or person to cause some real character change whose aftermath leaves the characters stronger for having experienced it/them. Something to cast a shadow that will paint all future main story events with a different color, a new perspective.

⁠@@xeosplayer1106ok ima clear this up right now in case you and/or others don’t know. THE CAST IN GGZ WAS REBORN. The story DID NOT end where you saw that scene of HoV killing everyone. I’d tell you more but it’s so hard to access the ggz story past retrospective especially now that the game is out of global

@@tatarsauce6314 i know the story goes on with the choosen 1 but we both know the story has those sad endings cause even if the protagonist were given another chance by chance at the end of the day the lost and everyone died and now they want to avoid that lives are now at stake (also sorry about phrasing it like that kind of ignore the rest of ggz cause of global closing)

The death in Honkai Impact was done early on but the effect it had was still felt even at the end of the story. The death was so impactful that even now, players still feel emotionally attached to that dead character. Their death was the reason why Kiana (HI's mc) keeps pushing forward and growing. She inherited her will and motivation. It is also reflected in her different versions: initially she only uses two guns, after the death, she slowly adapts to using the same weapon as the dead character, slowly showing the same fighting style. At the end of her story with her last playable version, it was a mix of her initial fighting style and the dead character. It shows a story. Same goes with the rest of the characters in Honkai Impact. For Star Rail, we had 2 on screen deaths, one was emotional but was kinda ruined by one joke by March. The other, we barely knew the character and was short lived because it was hinted that maybe the real person is somewhere. The difference here is that in Honkai Impact, the death is personal to both the main cast and the player, and you follow them as they grow to accept it and grow better as a character. That isn't the case with Star Rail, death only matters to those people we visited. We just move on to the next destination. Thats what Legionz is pointing at. Unless something meaningful happens to the main Express crew, it will never look like they grow and the sadness we felt when someone dies just stays on that world until they revisit them again. In Penacony, sure, we felt sad at the end because we found out what happened to the previous Express members. But did that have any emotional weight to it? The Trailblazer did not have a connection at all to them, it was only shown that they inherited the trailblaze way. It makes sense story wise but emotionally, it just felt tacked on. Heck, people were more excited about Harmony Trailblazer because of Firefly comps. Most people don't even bother understanding the importance of the hat. Death was handled better in Honkai Impact because thats their focus: moving pass grief. Star Rail focuses on a grander narrative with meeting new people in new places. Emotional attachment won't be a forefront for those characters except for the main cast and as of now, we don't have that emotional attachment to the crew on the level of Honkai Impact's cast. Maybe years down the line the story will expand on that, but as of now, no. Star Rail's main crew story is still simple and still the same when they first met the Trailblazer in Herta's Space Station. You could argue that Honkai Impact's story took years. While true, Star Rail is now a year old and the cast has been through 3 worlds with little to no character development. How different is v2.4 TB to their v1.0 self? How about March, Dan Heng, Himeko, Welt? Unless something happens to the main cast (whether that something is death or something entirely different) it won't change the fact that they didnt have any growth at all in this one year.

unlucky that hard to persuaded enjoyers of hsr and other gachi games, all the time they will saying that characters are cool by their look, not a deep story, feelings and personality. Thats why one game more popular than another

​@@AlcatrasUnion yeah. I actually did notice when I was playing both Honkai Impact and Star Rail: Honkai Impact makes me want to pull on a character because they were interesting in the story. Star Rail makes me want to pull on a character because of their design. There is somehow a clear difference in my motivation to pull. It was the same thing when I still played Genshin where I only wanted to pull for someone because of how unique their design was.

​@@reisen732 Same, agree with you , I couldn't playing hsr and genshin forever due to very lazy work on last characters, with time I deleted it. most characters become similar to previous or close to playstyle or skills. Can't understand why devs in a honkai impact trying to do unique characters by story and playstyle either while in other games its very different

If you're talking about Legionz, he has hours and hours of streaming Honkai Impact's story up to the last few chapters of Part 1. He hasn't posted yet on the last chapters yet because of being busy. As for Kitty, I only see one video of Honkai Impact and its a gacha pulling video. I do see her bridge is Oxia so most likely she is already playing Part 2. No hate here but objectively speaking, I'd probably believe someone's take, who has showed countless hours of playing the game vs someone with no gameplay/story related content. I mean, its pretty easy to skip the story since Honkai Impact does have a skip feature.

Kitty has finished everything, Legionz is on ch 33 or 34

​@@meddlecat Really? This doesn't seem like the behavior of someone who has finished playing Past1.

@@thelastcoin1469 Wym ”behaviour”? Also do you mean Legionz or Kitty?

​@@meddlecat @reisen732 Yes, I mean Kitty. If Kitty has finished playing Hi3 Past1, they should understand what the Legionz channel is trying to convey about why the storyline of HSR cannot surpass Hi3. The storyline of HSR is like the anime 'Detective Conan,' where many cases are solved, but the overall plot barely progresses (over 1000 chapters in the manga, with less than two years passing in the storyline). In contrast, Hi3 is like 'Demon Slayer,' where the main characters face numerous obstacles, including moments of sadness and despair that nearly lead to surrender, or tragic events that lead to impressive character development, and the joy of defeating a boss. It’s challenging for HSR to achieve this because, unless it's through special events, there’s almost no way for them to bring characters from previous planets into the current storyline. This is because they have to keep creating new characters to sell.

Does she even have PR ships? I haven't watched her AL streams so I'm probably incorrect, but from the glimpses i occasionally took, it seemed like she's all into the gacha and thirsting over the characters than also actually playing the game.

@@shiro6145 I think she has a PR Ship, but she cheated her way through it using that PR XP Certificates

Only hoyo c**s think that's way

It’s called an example?

I hate people who say that animation is stolen from ZZZ, then it's NOT! Like...bruh, animation has it's own rules, IT ALWAYS HAD BEFORE HOYO EVER EXISTED! Ugh....

so many things wrong with his take i could put it into a full blown video in and of itself and it wouldn't be enough to express the frustration i have with how bad his points are

Nice Plans! I personally love Jane Doe too much to skip her haha, I'll try to somehow grab her as well as Caesar & Burnice (parying hard)

@@KittyKathee I’d love to get Jane Doe if and when her banner gets rerun! But also, I’ll have to see what other characters are going to be released or re-released around that time too lol. Good luck with your pulls!

I didn't know! Good to know ~

To me the only problem with his review was that he dindt give good points only highlited the death aspect, to me the slow change in kiana personality makes her arc pretty good, mei and bronya also.

@@joaocarlosii2188 I think kiana is a good character but I felt the three main characters. Kiana, Mei and Bronya were better written a part then together. Whenever together it seemed their progression regressed to make Kiana look better. Plus my biased opinion the 13 and Apho trumps the main cast...as for the dying only one person died with any meaning, himeko. Everyone else didn't die the main three no threats of dying. So I feel his point are extreme biased and yeah I agree there was better ways he could have done this beyond the obsession of death

@@Balbaneth ye bro, the same with the modern "dark shounen" anime comunity, ppl are starving for deaths, when normally a character death is used as a turn point for the story (himeko is a good example, Wendy death dindt change anything for us) modern shows like jjk and kimetsu kills a lot of characters just cuz (our story is sad and mature) when in fact its just stupid (to me that is a problem in starrail too, outise cocolia death i dindt feel atached to anyone yet) The story telling is really bad thats a fact I dropped starrail cuz the gameplay is boring (for me) and the story is... like genshin... nothing happens most of the times with a few peak momments

@@Balbaneth to me the captain verse also has a pretty good lore and help to expand the cosmology, starrail explore a lot of planets and ships but if feels like just another scenario than another Planet Part 2 knows pretty well how to change the atmosphere from ouxia to the sea of data, its basicly Apho 2 with upgrades

@@joaocarlosii2188 I don't agree about Genshin being bad. Unless all the building blocks, hints etc all lead to a end as bad as no man's then I can say it's garbage. I'm more often with every new revelation in Genshin go...oh o.0. Since I remember past story, while star rail is fun. Wuwa has been extremely bad incapable of leading into anything and just revealing everything.

Which makes me womder, why does it has to be like this? Why do live service, or at least gacha games, have to close their servers with no offline mode? Like, when the servers are active, i can understand why a game must be 24/7 online, but once it goes EOS, players should have at leaat the possibility to play it anyways. This is simpmy bullshit.

@@Otherface it takes time and money to make an offline version, they understandably don't want to spend time and money for something that won't make them money.

@@Otherface Capcom did it with Megaman X Dive. They are selling a game as a standalone now.

Groove Coaster in the Arcades shutdown back in March... it was painful to hear that the scores are no longer savable, and a bunch of songs are gone.

This is the worst take I have ever seen the comment section even though some of your points are valid most the points here are wrong you say power Creep but that's truly the case then why the players complaining of not having fun with most of the four stars in those games I know every gacha game is not created equally because if people are not having fun they quit the games and these banners making money it's true but not entirely true even if you don't spend money or even pull on the characters these companies are still technically making money off you just by the time you spend in the game so overall they're still making bank even without you spending anything and the fact you say that these games are charities it's not entirely wrong but still not true is some of these games that are not charity why koro games exist you're basically saying that a generosity company shouldn't be giving out these freebies or Five Star characters you're ignore these the fact that this company exists that makes your take even worse I seen a lot of takes in my life but this is had to be the worst thing I ever seen there were some points but you missed the point home

@@gameboy53-yh4fuNot gonna argue with you. You’re obviously poor and angry. Mihoyo makes both the greediest and yet most profitable games today. All their games also have power creep baked into the DNA. Vote with your wallet. Don’t like it, don’t play it. The fact that Mihoyo is making literally billions is proof that it’s a non issue.

@@araarashinigami it made be at the top right now but it's not going to last long wait till new gacha games coming to play and then we'll slowly see the falling of their empire it doesn't matter how much money they're making it's only going to be so long to people are fed up with it and what's these new stuff come in is going to slowly but surely collapse once you see that Revenue go down you know it's over for them what's the new games comes out do people that are going to be laughing are the people that are going to exploit the people that play their game

Not sure HYV is going to fall any time soon. Their 3 latest releases are all in the top 10 gacha revenue, collectively raking in over a hundred million dollars each month. HYV absolutely dominate the gacha market right now, and have shown no indication of slowing.

Personally, in PvE games without PvP/leaderboards: paying for power doesn't really matter all that much. If you don't like that system, don't interact with them. All of these games are easy enough to clear f2p.

Making private servers for the game? Sure but if ppl also want the player data that is unlikely to happen The only thing they can do is to retain player data in their phones for viewing but no gameplay

most of the bixesual ship stops being that after you oath them, and for Azur Promillia, there is both a female and male MC.
