Oooooh that is true. At some point I should go over the relics as well. We also got the Moment of Slumbernana, or something reference the monkeys, as a Planar set in the patch just before 2.6 released. So that was cool
@ManCarSua Hoyo love to foreshadow stuff in they game like the planer ornaments such as Glamoth,Duran and the wondersus banana amusement Park are tease to upcoming stuff,they relic set had Duke Inferno an minor offscreen charther in the story orthey dump Blade lore in 1.0
@@ManCarSuaalso since the Sh have moive mofit and they role are similar to the flame chaser,the fatui and the Hexenzirkel I think the game is just one big moive with aeon purposes is to give people certain roles in an big game of chess in the war of the aeon
@@Josh-qt5zi Ooooh I really enjoy that perspective of all of this being a big chess game for the Aeons! That honestly sounds so freaking cool. And also it makes me hyped for what they'd do in terms of Genshin References since the Gnosis are chess pieces (And the whole Broken moon that appeared in Genshin recently)
Also, in that one companion quest with yanqing and jingliu, there’s a book on one of the tables that describes a battle with a man transforming into a beast (like hoolay does) and a woman with an icey blade, which is like how jingliu defeated hoolay! I’m not completely sure if this is him, but they refer to the beast having wolf like features, so if it is, crazy foreshadowing
Compassie as his real name definitely threw me off a lot. It doesn't sound as smooth or neat as Clockie, so it was very odd. Like, one would expect it to be 2 syllable names, but he has 3
The Euridition Clockie items seem to be representations of the animation process I think, like visually. The first one is an initial character sketch --> maybe a storyboard or some type of 3D modelling --> cell sheet animations. I think it might be partially a reference to the clockie animation we see everywhere but also maybe a reference to Penacony itself, either through the eyes of The Watchmaker and the creation of Penacony or how we go through the Penacony storyline and "see" all the pieces fitting together. "The animators hid their wisdom in every frame..." being a very sus hint
I do like that way of thinking a lot. And it would be neat to have the process of animation be growing as the time goes, similarly to how knowledge and wisdom for the Erudition works. I also found it cool someone pointed out that the ascension material may also be the process of how Mikhail created Clockie, and why Clockie speaks in the descriptions. So like his process in creating Penacony and maybe even dreamweaving "The animators hid their wisdom in every frame..." is really something that still is bothering me, so I hope we get to learn more about that in the near future
Great video Manny! To address your question at 5:36, I think the Nous Temple was the library that Fu Xuan ends up in during her first character story, since the old man she meets there is very much implied to be Nous themself. She thus must have been given a key, so you don't need to be a GS member to go in there. I especially think this since the quote attached to the Key of Wisdom, "The Erudition does not have answers to the universe, but it will teach you how to ask the right questions." is basically what the old man tells Fu Xuan during that character story. So yeah, the Nous Temple very likely takes the form of an infinite library of knowledge. Also I do find it interesting how the Heaven Incinerator looks similar to the mask Xueyi wears on her belt
Thanks Shiro! And I see. I had completely blanked out on Fu Xuan having access to the Temple of Nous. I remember she attained her divination powers to the level she has because of Nous' blessing though. Having an elderly entity as Nous seems so funny to me ngl. It is so cool that none Genius Society members too can access this repository of information honestly The concept of asking the right questions to be able to gain clarity is great in all honesty. I definitely enjoy the fact that Nous wants people to search for the information rather than spoon feed it to them. A person's hard work, and research pays off because they get to master the knowledge, as opposed to just knowing it like a fun trivia fact! And the concept of an infinite library just reminds me of when a genius character in a show is trying to find some obscure piece of information in their mind. I think they used that imagery in Sherlock
When in doubt, blame the Fictionologists. Honestly I can see that being the case, like those shields were just used to fight them. I don't think successfully but they used them apparently
I think the Clockie animation materials are about Mikhail creating Clockie and by extension becoming a more significant influence in Penacony by learning how to manipulate Memoria. It's why the first quote is Clockie asking if he can be seen. Literally being formed, the second tier referring to Gallagher's fictionality pushing Clockie and by extension Mikhail to hero status. And then finally Mikhail's ultimate accomplishment as a dreamweaver in creating Misha, a Memetic recreation of himself. All these play into Erudition because they are fundamentally about Mikhail's learning of dream weaving, his place in history, and then finally his ultimate culmination of knowledge. It's more than likely not symbolizing any greater motion by Clockie or Mikhail but the hefty implications of a trailblazer learning to bend Memoria as Mikhail can will more than likely be very significant in the next planet for obvious reasons.
Ooooh now that you mention that, it would make a lot of sense. Having him be able to manipulate Memoria and having learnt dreamweaving through that sounds really cool and is very fitting Now that you mention the first quote being about Mikhail actually being able to see him makes that a really adorable line. I interpreted it as someone like us being able to see him. But looking at it from Mikhail's lense makes so much more sense! I love the explanation for every tier The idea of not only the animation, but Mikhail's journey growing through the ideals of Erudition sounds sick ngl. I really enjoy that a lot. And it fits the keys of erudition too. A sketch with the initial inspiration. Growing into the knowledge to animate. And then ending in wisdom when the person has become adept at their craft
I think the very last one does refer to them, but the previous 2 I was not entirely sure. And the main thing for why I assumed it may not have been fully Galaxy Rangers related is because we do have non-gunslinger Galaxy Rangers since Rappa got introduced
I really love in HoYoverse that they put lore in everything If I recall correctly, one artifact set (I think it was an artifact set) told a lot about Scaramouche's past, and Scara fans were able to do cool stuff like animations based on that before it was all confirmed!! Great video as always!! Have a nice day!! ⸜(｡˃ ᵕ ˂ )⸝♡
The small little details they add for it is honestly great! It makes me happy to look into these things Oh yeah Artifacts sets in Genshin have also done that to an extent and I am happy to see these things being showcased throughout the game's own battle system in the flavor text Thanks and I hope you too have a great day!
That is actually so interesting. I just looked at his E6 picture since I don't have him at that Eidolon and it is such a cool and interesting detail. Him grasping onto it so tightly probably implies he either knew a Forge Master that made it for him. Or that someone he knew died maybe and that is why he has one of the Starchaser Arrows. It is either that or a Strale, the currency we get at the Loufu since they are also similar and a bit more round than the arrows are
I understand what you mean but part of the fun is reading to an extent, specifically when people are speaking rather than when it's just explaining something
Yessss I am hyped and excited to see what kind of lore drops and information she is gonna reveal to us! I hope this also means we get more main story related to the Simulated Universe. For maybe events in the past and such. I am so hyped for her and what I hope is a essentially Keyblade Also I I think I recently saw one of her portrait frames in the unknowable has a keyhole. So that has me hyped too
I dunno what is more amusing - how much world-building is established in unlikely places - or how many people happen to overlook it despite looking at it every single day Anyway the vid is totally slay! ( is this how's that's used XD ? ) Not making fun of you just of the modern slang words xp congratzz on reaching your goal! keep up the good work! can't wait for more
Honestly both are pretty fun to see, I like that the game rewards those that pay the extra little bit of attention into the game! And thanks! I appreciate the kind words and encouragement!. And no worries, it did not come off as you making fun of me, I appreciate the clarification!
I really love the way they hide story details long before they mention them in the actual story. I don't know all the details like this but they teased Borisin story long before we've ever heard the name of them. We can have the details of future stories in the game right now and have no idea about it, the fact that we don't know anything but have everything we need to know them is an incredibly interesting way to tell the story. edit: I mostly write the comments before watching the whole video, it's fun to see you mention the same things.
Yessss they literally are great at teasing us with these small detail and lore bits. I am honestly a huge fan of the work they do and how the pay offs for noticing these small facts can feel so freaking rewarding! Great minds think alike! And I am glad we get to talk about these topics honestly. It is a lot of fun!
For the keys of Erudition I have an idea but I have to mention leaks (currently not officially confirmed information), so yeah, spoiler warning: . . . . . . . In all likelyhood, this will have something to do with Herta's true form released in 3.0. Her weapon is going to be a key which supposedly looks a lot like this one. Also, we get a key as a reward for finishing the new unknown domain released in 2.6.
Ooooh that is quite interesting not gonna lie. I did hear from another YT content creator that these keys also are related to Fu Xuan because she was given access to Nous' temple. I do hope we get to learn about them . . . . . . Making the concept of keys something Herta, and maybe even Screwllum, would be something cool to see if that is the case. I also completely forgot about the key we get for completely the unknowable domain. I am missing 1 requierment, so I'll read it's description, if it has one, when I unlock it!
I love how HSR seems to take a page out of Fromsoft's book, hiding the much deeper extended lore in item descriptions. That's not the only way to figure out the general story of course, so that makes the game much more casually approachable, but it offers something for those of us with a desire to deep dive to chew on and seek out and provides a depth of activity outside of waiting for new patch updates.
Honestly I love when video games, storiee or shows decide to hide small details with payoffs that, although not necessary for the enjoyment of a player, can give huge pay offs and add so much to events that happen. It is a great way to reward players that are invested in the game's over all world building. And yes, learning even more details about the world as always is one of the best things ever. Honestly that is also one of the reasons why I have loved Arcane, and Act 2 has made me super excited and emotional. The fact they added things to enhance scenes, even if not every will pick up upon them, is the reason I love the show
@@ManCarSua Definitely! Especially in a live service/gacha game with a lot of downtime, there's so much extra to explore. I still have barley scratched the surface of Unknowable Domain for example.
@@ManCarSua yeah every patch I do the new story first, then usually events intermixed with dailies/farming and spend downtime exploring fringes of maps and encounters and watching videos like these, which remind me of even more stuff to look into
I personally love the hidden lore in Star Rail because I always feel like I'm a one woman Sherlock Holmes putting together a trail of evidence that will one day lead me to the true story before they ever tell me. I recommend talking to all the viydahdara eggs in the Scalegorge Waterscape. You can find some interesting stuff there. Some of it is just a few stories of common vidyadhara. But as you go you can find hints about the Preceptor's plot in 2.5. Also the egg that Todd (from a side quest) took fluid from was actually a former Trailblaizer. Also that "Devil" from the Abundance sounds a lot like Shuhu and I don't like it.
Hidden lore is one of my favorite things in games in all honesty. Things that let people theorize, speculate and allow their minds to go wild is so much fun. We do be detectives honestly at that point as we venture and look for small details around the game's world. I did talk to them at one point in the past, but I definitely have to again, I know some of them are very sad and I love that honestly, and I cannot wait to actually go in with an analyzing mindset rather than when I first passed there and was more of exploring, as opposed to learning. The fact the Preceptor's plot was hidden there from way before 2.5 sounds so cool! And a former trailblazer too being there is wild actually Also I hate that looking at it, Shuhu's remains were no where to be found at all, and having the naming convention of "ALIEN Tree Seed" does imply that it may not have been originally from Vonwaqc now that you mention it. Shuhu is effectively mia, and that may actually be something that could connect them to the over all lore I find it super interesting that the Ten Lords Commission say they have Shuhu's remains, but then we also have Jingliu saying that no remains were found, so Shuhu could have actually just survived the battle in which they were defeated
@ManCarSua I'm a fan of how Star Rail in particular because it always feels like a reward when you find something that might be foreshadowing for a future plot point. Like Huaiyan's existence. Or the fact that Boothill's plot in 2.6 was a reference to the dream he has on the dream caller. Yeah, I was surprised too. I was going back to look and see if the eggs had anything on other High Elders since Lingsha was the student of one (there is at least one I found), and boy, let me TELL YOU, I lost my damn cookies when I discovered an egg that said they trailblaized. I was like, "BOY HOW OLD ARE YOU, THE ASTRAL EXPRESS WAS MISSING 700 YEARS AGO. HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN IN THIS EGG?" So of course I had to go looking for what else I could find and totally find the Preceptor's sketch plotting against Dan Feng. Shuhu, the most horrifying horror to ever horror, and the Ten Lords only THINK they have Shuhu's remains in a box. Which means they probably don't have Shuhu's remains. Because if there's one thing I've learned from media it's that unless there's a body then it ain't dead/in custody. And I don't like those flowers man. Those parasite self growing flowers and trees. I'm now sketch of Vonwaqc and terrified we'll find Shuhu there. And Shuhu brings back zombie planets so I'm scared to face him one day. It's gonna be an awesome boss fight though. Hope it has Hyperion references. But yeah, those flowers scare me because if you read the lore on Passerby of the Wandering Clouds, specifically the hairpin, we see that Blade actually has the power to grow flowers from dead tree. Yeah, that hairpin that used to be Yingxing's. Blade ACCIDENTALLY recreated it. And that is a *real* flower he accidentally grew from a dead branch just by touching it. A power I can only assume comes from Shuhu. And something I think ties these flowers too Shuhu as well. So I hate them. Blade run.
Smt4's OST is geniunely one of the best things in the world. The fact Tokyo's beginning was something I heard so many times. Yet I never hated the fact it repeated shows how top tier it is (I did 3 playthroughs of the game)
I try my best with it. Sometimes I ask for help from one of my uncles in pronunctiation because he is from China and speaks Cantonese since he grew there. Honestly this game and other mythology based games actually helped me bond with him a lot oddly enough (he does not know of the game, but is happy I talk mythology or ask about chinese words with him)
I don't think he is. If I accidentally implied that, that was my bad. Though, given that he is a memokeeper and they follow the Rememberance, maybe he has a way to stop his aging now that I think about it. But idk
@Unresolvedissues101 ooooh you are right. I had completely blanket out on that for a moment. That is also why they can just choose who can and cannot see them
The Prisoner relics talk about Hoolay. And 2.5 we got to meet him.
Oooooh that is true. At some point I should go over the relics as well. We also got the Moment of Slumbernana, or something reference the monkeys, as a Planar set in the patch just before 2.6 released. So that was cool

A power I can only assume comes from Shuhu. And something I think ties these flowers too Shuhu as well. So I hate them. Blade run.
Thank you! Now you need to make lore analysis about consumable!
I shall add it to the list in that case. I know a few of them are pretty interesting. So I am now looking forward for it!
Really good video! Didnt know alot of these
I am happy to hear that you enjoyed it!
Smt4 tokyo music. Goated video wtf
Smt4's OST is geniunely one of the best things in the world. The fact Tokyo's beginning was something I heard so many times. Yet I never hated the fact it repeated shows how top tier it is (I did 3 playthroughs of the game)
real as fuck
i think my megaten brainrot is too strong because i caught tokyo playing in the video immediately even at low volume
@lilliegant73 It is just an iconic OST honestly. I love it so much and can also spot it when other people use it lmao
@@ManCarSua also noticed the kingdom hearts menu noises you used. neat!
I'm surprised, a westerner actually pronounced Yaoshi correctly 🎉
I try my best with it. Sometimes I ask for help from one of my uncles in pronunctiation because he is from China and speaks Cantonese since he grew there. Honestly this game and other mythology based games actually helped me bond with him a lot oddly enough (he does not know of the game, but is happy I talk mythology or ask about chinese words with him)
@@ManCarSua that's neat wish I had a direct source for understanding hsr lore
Wew mr reca is almost an amber era old huh?
I don't think he is. If I accidentally implied that, that was my bad. Though, given that he is a memokeeper and they follow the Rememberance, maybe he has a way to stop his aging now that I think about it. But idk
@ManCarSua the followers of the rememberance give up their physical forms right? The one on the astral express implied it I think.
@Unresolvedissues101 ooooh you are right. I had completely blanket out on that for a moment. That is also why they can just choose who can and cannot see them
@@ManCarSua yeah their bodies are basically pure memoria, it's also the reason why memetic viruses are lethal to them.
love you bro
love ya too bro
