Why I Love Story In Games: Star Rail Penacony

As I was editing this I realized the clip audio quality and video qualitywas terrible and also the script was kinda all over the place. I apologize and I strive to make better quality videos in the future, thanks for watching!

Essay about HSR?
And about Peakcony?
Instant sub.

This is the exact reason I liked Penacony. Never been fan of story's, but man i did cry for this story arc.

If u liked penacony, check out honkai impact part 1's story and lore. Aside from the fact that its a really good story as a whole, 5 big reasons to are:
1: HSR and HI3rd have the same universe. Welt from HSR is the same one from HI3rd and when he speaks to acheron, he recounts some experiences from HI3rd.
2: Each arc ends with an amazing animated short with a vocal song tailored for it. Each of which are incredibly emotional.
3: characters are extremely well developed, have clear motivations and show immense growth as the story progresses.
4: if ur really a lore buff, HI3rd explores the cosmology of their universe the most among the hoyo games.
5: The story writer of HI3rd is the same guy who wrote penacony, and he does not disappoint. In fact, penacony uses a lot of similar concepts and progression to some of the arcs in HI3rd.
It starts a little slow, starts to pick up a bit at chapter 4 or 5, but the payoffs of each arc is huge, with the endbof the first arc being in chapter 9, and then they just keep getting better after that, so its highly highly recommended

Good video, it made me tear a bit. I play since launch and i'm fan of Hoyoverse stories (even tho, i don't play the others on a daily basis) but HSR is just a great story, Penacony was a rollercoster between expecting what happened on 2.0 to the beautiful end we got on patch 2.3
For some people, that was a lot of text and story... but i think we are slow cooking a more big story on our own, we are exploring a universe (or atleast various planets) that we don't know, i like to read so i enjoyed it.
I really love when Robin appears to help us against her brother and the crew say lines to try to calm Sunday.

This video was pretty much my exact reaction to Penacony. At first I only downloaded Star Rail because I saw Firefly and thought “Cool robot girl” but then I started really getting into it especially at Belebog. Then I got to Penacony and that just completely won me over. Firefly is my favorite character because of that moment on the rooftops, perfectly done by her voice actor Analesa Fisher (they revealed in an interview that they also have a chronic illness, so they related with Firefly allowing them to make that performance hit even harder) Initially I thought I would only like Penacony because of Firefly but then we got a really good story and characters like Robin, Sunday, Boothill, etc. I was really invested in Sunday’s conflict and thought he was a really interesting antagonist, like he wants to protect everyone but his way of doing it was not right. The final fight was just so good like idk how they’re going to top it. Theres so much I love about Penacony and you put it into this video. Sorry if this stupidly long essay isn’t that coherent since writing isnt really my thing but really good video bro only issue I had was that the music was slightly too loud at times but aside from that you did a great job

[@woosaYT]

I will keep the issue in mind for future videos, thank you for the feedback!

[@nekokaburi1974]

Being a League player that ended up playing Star Rail is so real lmao

[@AHA-AHA-AHA-AHA]

director sparkle really cooked on that planet🎆

[@lanayer]

I totally agree with you, i think it's one of the best hoyoverse quests to date

[@puff0288]

Penacony broke me

[@sstarshroom]

If you ever try out honkai impact please make a video on it! The story is so underrated (and long..and emotional..and very very long) dont let that stop you though! Its rich in its lore

[@silverX3870]

Great video 👍

[@callmemim3007]

For penacony they bring the HI3 writer, so not sure if you will try hi3 because it is quite old game , ao you can expect kinda the same level of writing as Star rail

[@itsame7491]

I played through penacony and heard Robin's song, I still have no idea wht happened in it. I was bored out of my freaking mind and the characters were definitely speaking words, hehe, I feel like I need a degree in star rail lore to understand this stuff
