While the story itself was yappy sometimes, it overall was really great, and I do believe it is precisely because of the characters being actually so good. Black Swan and Acheron are definitely the best imo.
@@mooseoncaffeine yes exactly my thoughts as well. While the dialogue could definitely be trimmed down, the character work is so good that I’m willing to give it a slight pass
Shaoji always delivered with making interesting characters. Yes his writing sometimes can be a drag with his phylosophical mindset, but I believe that also why his characters felt deep and interesting.
Oh yes Shaoji is a good writer, Penacony makes that very apparent. Currently making my way through HI3's story so hopefully I can eventually make it to Elysium Realm
I am officially free from everything tomorrow. So I know damn well what I am gonna be having on my laptop while I study for my new classes lets gooooo Also, thank you for having me for this video!
I do love when i ask someone a simple yes or no question and then they go on an hour long tanget about how they had lunch once and how similar it is to life and society, and then only say one thing that relates to the story
@shiromatsunoki last time I read his character story was back when he was still in beta in 2.1, but I'm pretty sure the English version doesn't mention their gender and that it's more clear in the Chinese.
Imo, Wardance is better than Penacony. There is no fakeout deaths without consequenses (Jiaoqiu does lose his eyesight, after all.) Really, the biggest issue is probably the preceptors getting less focus than they should have. But with the story happening in such a short in-universe time, the quest could have been bloated and the surprisingly nice pacing would have been lost. The lack of a regional token love interest for the trailblazer also helps the cast to feel more like actual charachters and not just attempts to force emotional attachment. Old charachters also get a lot of deserved development and/or screentime, mainly Yanqing and the judge sisters.
Robin and the AE crew are quite literally either the most stupid people in Penacony or the most evil. The Order's barrier is gone and now if people die in the Dreamscape, they die irl as in being braindead. And Robin knew this, she was the one who told us about this and the reason why Jade won the deal for Penacony's share. So why in the living hell did she and the AE crew not tell the guests that if you die in the Dreamscape, you die irl. People lives are at stake here. Either shut down the Dreamscape so people won't know about the death thing or tell people that there is a risk of dying irl even if you are in the Dreamscape. Penacony's ending was made like it's a good thing to leave Penacony with Robin saying she's going on a vacation after the Charmony Festival accident and the AE crew saying goodbye to their friends without telling them that the Order's barrier is gone. That just leave a bad taste in my mouth.

@@draconite7515 thank you much appreciated!!
6:25 now that you mention it, you’re right- IT IS ONE PIECE IN SPACE
@@bella_daze3092 Imagine Luffy’s straw hat doing all the things HMC does with their hat lol
1:26:50 I’m pretty sure it was 13 (Death tarot thingy) times the amount of deaths 4 (Robin, Sunday, Firefly, and Aventurine).
@@blank-42 ooooh that’s a good point, thanks for bringing that up

@@ManCarSua happy to hear it!! Hope studies go well! And I’m honored to have you be part of the video bud!
immediately recognized traverse town bgm in the beginning
I do love when i ask someone a simple yes or no question and then they go on an hour long tanget about how they had lunch once and how similar it is to life and society, and then only say one thing that relates to the story
As if there would be a way of knowing that this is an in depth analysis not a quick yes or no, maybe from the literal title, but who knows
Love this video, subscribing for the Argenti love. My favorite underrated character.
@@SuperKryptonGirl hey thank you so much!! I hope you look forward to future analyses!!
I love the persona cut ins this video!! They’re so cool. also at 1:09:33 is that memories of you I hear?
@@card_queen it indeed is
Yo Shiro is doing competitions for us to play in the background while doing art or grinding in video games
lmfao exactly, i fully implore people to use this as background noise when doing something else
Man, the choice of tracks is stellar. Throw Away Your Mask from P5R is the perfect song for Sunday
@@Rashik30 thank you!! And yes if truly is the best song for him haha
watching this right before amphoreus drops!
@@qaztim11 heck yeah!! Let this video be a grand farewell to penacony!!
Lmao the sparkle rickroll, nice one
Had to keep it in somehow lol
oh peakacony
@@pastrymei here’s hoping Amphoreus can be even better
THIS IS THE BEST THING EVER SO UNDERRATED
@@angelaur THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
I feel like we were in Penacony for way too long.
awesome sauce dude
Thank you!!
am i the only one who skipped to each chapter to watch the character intros because they were peak
I appreciate you find them enjoyable, those took a lot of time to make. Just be sure to watch the actual analyses attached to those AMV intros lol
YEAAAAAAAAAAA ITS FINALLY OUT WOOOOOOOOOO
IT'S HERE AND ABOUT TIME TOO!!
Shiro are you going to do the same thing for the characters of Amphroues plss 🙌🙏
@@ChrisFoster-i3t YES I AM!!
@@shiromatsunoki YESSSS
They peaked with pentacony in star rail and Fontainein genshin they probably won’t ever be able to top these two
I mean who knows Amphoreus could be really good also
amphoreus seems to be setting up sum real good shit im afraid u might be speaking too soon
Small correction. Boothill's adopted parents, Nick and Grey, are actually a man and a woman, not two men
@@pokemonmaster1505 could’ve sworn it used he/him pronouns for both of them but if that’s not the case then I won’t budge

Question: what would you imagine a Mihoyo employee would come up with for a creature design competition? I'm entering one myself very soon.
Robin and the AE crew are quite literally either the most stupid people in Penacony or the most evil.

You actually came and took your time writing this i thought you were joking
@@kagami8711 yes, of course. My hate for Penacony, Robin and the AE crew just grow bigger with every Penacony patches
You mean the harmony barrier right/xipe's blessing? That was the thing that kept the people from dying
@@phanta2199 Harmony didn't save people from dying. Order did, go find the 1111 group chat. Robin said it there
@@The_real_John3879 But I'm pretty sure that after the whole crisis, the Harmony is what keeps guests safe
