    We need a HUGE shoutout to Furina/Focalor VA. She absolutely killed the subtle hints throughout her parts. This wouldn't have been nearly as gut-punching as it was if she hadn't shown such emotion through it all.

      Hand it to Neuvi’s VA too, for perfectly capturing the tone of a character outwardly unexpressive who slowly starts to understand and yearn to express human emotions. Both Amber Lee Connors and Ray Chase really poured every ounce of their experience as veteran VA into these performances

      tbh, I actually liked her 'role' from act 1. By the end of act 1 I was already convinced that there was a lot more going on with her than just what she was showing and I honestly found the facade entertaining. It was pretty obvious from the start that the Archon was in the Oritrace and Furina was either a fraud or a split off segment. My first guess was something like the hydro mimics that Oceanids can create. As a side note, Nuevi being the hydro sovereign was pretty obvious from act 2. The rest of Fontaine's main plot was loosely laid out in the summer event in 3.8 (and more blatantly than the last few summer events did).

    The raw emotion in Neuvillette’s voice as he realizes focalor’s plan, and when he pardons Fontaine…wrecks me every damn time. Ray Chase is just amazing, imo the best Neuvillette by far. Im not the biggest fan of the English directing making Amber Lee Connors lower her voice for focalors (them sounding different has confused a LARGE amount of people their actual relationship to each other), but it’s SO SO GOOD.

      I think theyd be good for repeatable commissions, and i think a speed up would be good if ur game crashes in the middle of a long dialogue scene and you have to restart it. But the story is one of the main focuses of the game and if you could skip it it'd just be a shell. I feel like even the existence of the skip button decreases peoples likelihood of immersion in the story, it did when i tried wuwa

      As a story enjoyer I still think a skip button would be rather nice. As someone with a couple of alt challenge accounts it would be rather helpful. There are only a handful of quests that still hold the same impact a second time around and then there are the sheer number of unvoiced, long, npc dialogue filled world quests and event quests. Those become very tedious when repeated. The people who would use a skip button the first time they do a quest are the same people who aren't going to pay attention to the quest anyway.
      In short, a skip button wouldn't hurt the game and honestly it would probably increase active player count.

The HI3 elitists feeling left out found new hope in a new Honkai name to latch onto-HSR-and looked for every way to diss Genshin with it. Then came the Penacony story. Everyone knew the story was bad. But alas, the agenda had to be maintained, so they go on to this day claiming that Penacony is a better story. They are loud and adorably vitriolic about it, so it must be true, right?

    Kinda funny when you think about it, but Celestia had nothing to do with the prophecy.

    And as Mona stated during Act 5 that, one who could read the fate of the world would be called a visionary. And surprise, surprise, that did Skirk talk about..?
    Fontaine disaster: Surtalugi
    Prophecy: Vedrfolnir
    The whole Focalors tricking Celestia thing was for her to commit suicide in order to destroy the Hydro Heavenly Throne, so that she could return the elemental authority back to the hydro sovereign and for the Sovereign to safe the people of Fontaine from the prophecy. But Celestia had nothing to do with it.

      yeah it's certainly weird. But I still think the prophecy was from Celestia. After all, it was known to Egeria, and she created Fontanians waaaay earlier than 500 y.a. (Fontanians led by Egeria were already present in the age of Remuria after all), and who knows if Vedrfolnir was Visionary before the cataclysm, and how old was he.
      I began to think that he actually used the prophecy to his advantage. If he created those stone slates and encoded it so Neuvillete (and maybe Focalors) could read them, then maybe he specifically guided everyone to this specific outcome (destruction of Hydro Throne).
      I don't think Celestia planned to use the whale, because it would also backfire at them, they would lose all of primordial sea power

    • @killerguythefox
      @killerguythefox 17 днів тому

      Not a direct hand in it. But its so far been very clear and direct that Celestia controls fate over beings and because they are still close to being the absolute authority of teyvat i.e controlling reality. All Celestia did was create a prophecy that eventually leads time and reality to create the outcome stated. but seemingly its also while unavoidable possible to in a way trick? and it seems like there was more then a few hands. if we subscribe to the idea that the sinners did something too. involved in modifying the variables. But equally so Focalor also created a unseen variable that destroys the divine throne of hydro and the people saved from dissolving.
      But its hinted at that its a very cruel method that Celestia creates such judgements that takes into effect that after so long as focalor put it should have been long since forgiven and coming from the very usurpers of the dragons sovereigns power. Its hypocritical to judge others on what they have done themselves.
      hence why the whole idea of dictating everyones fates(granted you are a tied to the world) so that people are bereft of truly making their own fate/life because Celestia has long since made the choice of what happens to you is hurting the world further and further.
      It paints the picture that though the abyss is absolutely bad and it will hurt the world for it to gain further ground. Celestia represents control over freedom. Which has only gotten worse in lore. Basically what started out with a noble idea even if done by force like taking the elemental dragon sovereigns power. Now is as bad as the abyss but in a opposite way. Both are leading things to a worse situation.
      and teyvat is right in the middle with many like the fatui and the archons arguably wanting to change everything.

    • @nabieladrian

      The prophecy only stated Hydro Archon crying alone in her throne, while Fontaine drowned. The neat part about how and why CAN be altered.
      It's like "If we can't stop whatever this flood from happening, let's just make sure it's water and not lava."
      That's why it didn't APPEAR as it could be. It's ALTERED from the WORSE fate.

    The writing of Fontaine compared to the first year of the game is fucking night and day. Maybe its just the breadcrumb game in which live service games work with lore but the fact i learn more from people that have no clue about whats going on while also feeling emotions unfounded as opposed to the alleged oldest being conveniently unable to say a single goddamn thing after a fifty hour fetchquest cause of a contract is like getting an S tier story from a sad child after saving his family compared to being given fifty cents and a pat on the back for giving an old guy twenty newpapers scattered across the world he forgot to pick up.
