"They alone push the dark wall 37km back" This line gets my imagination churning a little bit. Makes me wonder what the full scope is of the destruction in the world. Like is this just a giga hollow known as the dark wall or is it something more all surrounding, only leaving a small slice of land habitable on the planet
hollows don't grow in size after innitally spawning from what I've seen and read thus far it just screws over anyone who enters one, but this dark wall may be an unusual exception to the rules, and as Hoyo established in Star Rail, Rules are made to be broken.
I assumed the dark wall is the circumference of the Hollow Zero, and that the radius of the Hollow Zero used to be 37km (23 miles) longer than it currently is in game.
In Greek mythology, the most well-known son of Helios, the sun god, is Phaethon. Phaethon is famous for his tragic attempt to drive his father's sun chariot across the sky. Unable to control the powerful horses, he veered too close to the earth, scorching it, and then too far away, freezing it, leading to a catastrophic imbalance. To prevent further disaster, Zeus struck him down with a thunderbolt, causing Phaethon to fall into the river Eridanus. This myth serves as a cautionary tale about hubris and the dangers of overreaching.
Nobody gonna talk about how those three pulled back the Wall of presumably Hallow Zero 37 Kilometers. The amount of ass kicking they must have unleashed to cause that much to regress in is extremely underrated.
@@Trunksmad Yeah but that was going to take thousands, or one big one, to push it back just a few blocks to open up a passage for the people to escape. 37 kilometres would be a gargantuan effort.
I've been coming back here trying to figure out who the successors are for each of the heroes of the catastrophe. Miyabi is obviously the successor to the swordmaster. Could Caesar be the successor to the Sunbringer?
@@sixthsenseasian No, caesar is is the successor of the cinderglow lake hero who saves the outer ring. miyabi is the only successor cuz of family blood ties while proxies are joyous successor, i really hope the voidhunters become playable like the archons and fatui harbinger
@@joelnicola309 Yeah, I saw another video where people were speculating that the voidhunters might become playable in the future. I'm personally hoping that even if they do release them, they do it further down the line. lol my wallet is already hurting from pulling Jane, Caesar, and Burnice back to back.
Belle and wise are clearly the successors of the professor. They even lived at the old academy. With their teacher probably being a close tie to the professor himself.
@@sixthsenseasian we would be fortunate if we get at least 1 void hunter per year, they really held Miyabi till the end, and I'm glad they did. I can't stand the old bad model to appear in-game, would be a huge turn off 😂
Duuude. Imagine how big that hollow is to potentially block out the sun, and then someone eradicates it, thus being dubbed as the Sun Bringer. If that was the case, its awesome and terrifying at the same time.
"Hive lord" definitely was big enough to block out the sun. But this isn't so surprising if you think about the ZZZ Moon, the Moon is 80% taken by the Hollow, so it has potential to spawn a Planet-sized Ethereal
This is probably gonna be a map in a year or two. Look at this locations, the Chasm make me think that something or someone has splitted the world , and this "Expansion zone" hmm
37km is 22.9 Miles. It shares a very similar size to the Lake Pontchartrain Causeway (Bridge) in Louisiana, which is 23.83 Miles long (38.35 km). If you stand on the center of that bridge over lake Pontchatrain, you can not see land in any direction.
@@foliaxx Fyi, that's the amount of the dark wall they pushed back, NOT the total size of the dark wall. One of the theories Ashikai (lore theorizer, highly recommend, look her up) is that the dark wall is completely surrounding New Eridu at this point past the outskirts in a circumference. Hence it being a "wall".
@@Ne0nie So Hollow Zero isn't even the frontline, it's merely a training ground in comparison. If you looked at the map there is place called expansion area. Maybe that's where the dark wall is supposed to be before it's been pushed back?
Dunno who'll see this but this guy's voice and cadence is practically the same as the guy in the loading screen TV station that opens with "When I was 15, I never was afraid of an Apocalypse." Wonder if there's any connection. That's the first place I'd look.
That loading screen TV was from the videotape "This is How I Am". This Is How I Am (Video Genre) Documentary Lv. 3 (Video Description) This documentary brings together various kinds of audio-visual and textual information from the old civilization to show the world and human life during that period. It was once banned by a company in New Eridu on the grounds it was "showing a beautiful illusion that does not exist and diminishes citizen's safety awareness." It was later reopened after a large number of fans protested. Here is what he says in full: "When I was 15, the thought of an apocalypse never troubled me. The only thing I could give up, even in the face of the world's end, was the sunset on that beach. Watching the sun gently slide into the waters embrace, with fireworks dancing on the canvas of the night sky, even tomorrow or better, it wouldn't be worse than I thought. When you're reading this letter, I imagine much has changed, whether it’s yourself… or the world."
If I remember correctly, didn’t Belle and Wise say something about wanting to fulfill the goal of their master/teacher (can’t remember)? Could it be that their teacher is Professor Arche, and that is why they are so interested in investigating Hollow Zero? (Since that is the last time anyone saw Professor Arche.)
Professor Arche is from prev era tho. Belle and Wise aren't even around at the time. It could be that the teacher is researching the city guardians or Hollow Zero too just like Professor Arche
yep it is. Seems like ZZZ's lore stems around the 4 AI's and the Phaethon has one of them. Idk what they are gonna do with them but its gonna be interesting.
Wuwa could've had this if they have more confidence on their original story but nah, they rewrote 90% of the story and turned everyone into Rover glazers because CN said so 🤣
Wonder if anyones noticed this or if it's just my own brain making links where there are none. But the names of the AI, Jinni, Ghost, Youkai, and Fairy. All of these names obviously come from a mythological creature, but something I find interesting is that all of these could be seen as either Mischievous, Dangerous , or even Helpful depending on the myth you base them on. Jinni is probably a Djinn, or Genie. As we're all aware thanks to Aladdin, you can have your helpful Genie, or your evil ones, but trickster Djinn are also mentioned. These primarily come from Arabic culture. Ghost, well we all know what a ghost is! But that also means we all know how varied ghosts can be in interpretation! Youkai, a youkai is a type of monster from japanese mythology, even calling them a monster isn't exactly accurate, nor demon, as they are so varied, to simply call something a youkai is like looking at a spider and saying bug. You're not wrong, but you're not right either. They probably choose this term for the simple fact it has so many types. Fairy. Obviously this is the AI we know the most about considering the games plot, but Fairies come from europeon mythology, and much like Youkai, to simply point at something and call it a Fae or a Fairy is not incorrect, but not entirely correct, as many things count as a type of Fae, and run the gambit of helpful, to mischievous, to outright harmful. Ah well, thanks to anyone who pays attention to my rant, maybe I'm onto something!
** When Thor (PirateSoftware) picked this up briefly, he mentioned that all of them are primarily dangerous folklore monsters, with no "helpful" element. Any beneficial behavior is typically either coincidental or a setup for something harmful down the road (which in-game Fairy's existence seems to imply quite a bit). If it weren't for that, the visions your MC gets when first-time interacting with Fairy should already suggest some bad mojo scheduled to happen down the road, likely as a result of your new contract. It's more than likely that true to the mythological depictions, all these AI are programmed to fulfill an undisclosed purpose while screwing over everything and everyone else to get there.
@@Yorushima also fairy looks like the turkish eye of protection the nazar so she is more likely a helpful "fae fairy" but still being a "fae" has her own agenda
Jinni, Ghost, Youkai, and Fairy all belong to the category of supernatural beings or entities found in various mythologies, folklore, and cultural traditions around the world. They all have a few things in common such as: Supernatural Origins: All of these beings are believed to exist beyond the natural world, often associated with spiritual, magical, or otherworldly realms. Cultural Significance: Each of these entities plays a significant role in the folklore, mythology, or religious beliefs of different cultures. For example, Jinn are rooted in Islamic tradition, Ghosts in various global beliefs, Youkai in Japanese folklore, and Fairies in Western European myths. Variety in Forms and Behaviors: These beings come in many forms and can exhibit a wide range of behaviors, from benevolent to malevolent. Their characteristics often vary widely depending on the specific culture or story. Interaction with Humans: Each of these beings has stories or legends involving interactions with humans, whether through haunting, granting wishes, trickery, or offering protection. Mystery and Fear: They all evoke a sense of mystery, wonder, or fear, often being subjects of cautionary tales or myths that explain the unexplainable.
@@HDDStrider It's just Hoyo thing. For being from the same company, I don't think there is any problem for them to use the same story promotion strategy.
My guess is this game will be like Hi3rd, the story will maybe complicated and long with a deep lore, since this is a new universe outside of honkaiverse. Even the gameplay is similar
I was a little worried the worldbuilding would be a little thin but this is setting up so many interesting layers. This has some serious Honkai vibes, especially with the mystery of Hollows and a previous era that fought against the first wave. It even reminds me a little of Made in Abyss with how the Hollow Zones need to be carefully explored and cause risk of a loss of humanity.
honestly thought the entire game was going to be central around urban or fighting game 'look' which is ok, but seeing characters with that made in abyss look and arknights look I'm liking the world and characters more and more
we should be seeing sunbringer next if theyre going by the order theyre mentioning the void hunters edit: ok so the fox thiren character isnt miyabi but an ancestor of her so we’ll probably be coming across someone familiar or related to sunbringer rather sunbringer herself
@@_Eisley its definitely Kiana but the pink haired person is definitely Elysia. I think Kiana is kinda gonna be like Bronya/Seele in HSR where they share the same name but they arent exactly the same as their HI3 counterparts. I really hope the Elysia in this universe is just like the one in HI3
Zenless Zone Zero is definitely going to have the deep lore and the dark and emotional storytelling I have seen in Hoyoverse games. I’m really looking forward to learning more about the world and characters of Zenless Zone Zero, it is definitely shaping up to be something great like other Hoyoverse games in my opinion. Good Luck to Everyone in their Signal Searches!
The biggest problem is that they can tell all these dark stories and then implement nothing to the game. Just look at war torn Natlan nation in Genshin, the trailer showed happy bright Sumeru 2.0 and even if they gonna make good war story - the game itself will still be kiddy bright without any reflection of centuries of war and destruction.
Jinni - Upload - 3:36 "Jinni, pack up and start 'uploading'." Ghost - Hack - 0:12 "I had to use Ghost to 'hack' in" Youkai - Corrupt - 0:24 "Go, Youkai, Start 'corrupting' the database firewall." Fairy - Search - 1:34 "Fairy, 'search' for preset keywords" I can't tell if all 4 AIs have these 4 functions or do they only serve these specific functions(I think this makes the most sense, considering they brought 4 different AIs to enter the database instead of just 1 super AI", either ways this is just for brain rot HAHA
Search. Which now we know is the ability to have near 80% access to all information. We can use this as a standard to figure out what the other three can do. Jinni, maybe able to store and process huge amounts of data. Hacking is pretty self explanatory. And corrupting is probably something along the line of controlling. Which is interesting is that Just fairy alone could flip out the entire system. But the mysterious two had clearly all four of them. And somehow threw them in the New Eridu. My wild guess is that these people are on the moon.
Also makes you wonder, if Phaethon already has Fairy (who actually does do a lot of "searching" for the siblings) does that mean they're also going to collect the other three, or are those going to be obtained by other members of the roster? And that's assuming that those AI are still on the same side.
Now these are the designs I'm excited for! And considering the names and statuses of these AIs, I am sure this was all before our acquisition of Fairy. But Youkai did mention Fairy here... is the female voice Fairy? Anyways, they have nailed the aesthetic, and I can't be more thrilled. Just waiting for an Urban Mei... EDIT: After watching it again, I have a speculative theory. These two mysterious individuals are planning something huge, and know more than the average Eridu citizen. The AIs are somewhat connected to the deep voice, and each one of them are specialized for certain tasks: Ghost: Hacking Youkai: Corruption Fairy: Search Jinni: Loading The women's comments signify they hold a very thorough knowledge of Eridu, as well as New Eridu. And from her reaction to the three Void Hunters who pushed back the Black Wall, it seems there's some history between her and them. And the deep voice's query only alludes to the fact that the more active and exploring party is the woman. The deep voice is probably stationary, and the woman uses it. They are biding time for someone to come across the AIs, possibly due to some restrictions. I am sure the cutscene when we calibrate Fairy holds more clues, but anyways. Judging from the Inter-Knots security and tight censorship on information, the power controlling New Eridu is just as strong as them, or probably even stronger. My guess for the future is that we are going to stumble across another AI. And that AI could be Ghost. And when that happens, another Void Hunter will be introduced with a lot of revelations. Oh yes, and the person who "hacked" our HDD and got our main account, is just another party that is interested in this whole Watchmaker's Legacy-esque rat race. And I have a feeling that Professor Arche is our mentor. The person who took us in and probably raised us. Or maybe his successor? We already know we are from the old Eridu, so that couldn't be far fetched. Considering their superior Eous and Bangboo tech, I am sure they have knowledge from the old Eridu. I know I've been yapping for long, but there is this last detail I very much liked. At the start of the access to Inter-Knot, we got a message on Phaethon. It probably is something legendary to have it be honored as such, but what makes it interesting is the symbolism. From the message, it seems Phaethon was a hero and almost divine-like. Us, with Phaethon as our Proxy ID, are probably going to get involved in this big, corporate, not-what-it-looks-like mystery. That would truly be the ressurection of Phaethon.
No, the female voice says "Behave you four and wait for someone to awaken you" when the list containing "Fairy, Youkai, etc" flashes up on the stream. Meaning that the female voice is not one of the four AIs. She is probably the creator of the AIs, or at least connected to their creation.
Phaethon is actually a part of Greek mythology. He was the son of the sun god Helios, who in an attempt to be recognized by his father, was allowed to drive his chariot (the sun). in short, the ride was a total disaster and he was killed by Zeus. the reference to the myth might be why that piece of text mentions the Sun God's Chariot. The fact that Wise and Belle go under the name Phaethon, and the text in this video mentions that while Phaethon failed greatly, he also was very daring, it might be plausible that the two characters may follow a similar path, daring to prove themselves, but at risk of suffering a great failure.
Not only that but the fact that they're interested in getting a legal way of investigating the hollow zero and has their own objective inside definitely strengthens the speculation that Professor Arche is their mentor
@@cosmicpoptart3699 about daring and risk, isn't already happening with MCs helping Hares and result lost as thier proffeional account so they now have to work from ground.
@@islamsalimzhanov4399 potentially, however I think it might be more likely that the "sun god's Chariot," that they reference in this chamber may be Fairy, since Phaethon chose to install the chip that contained her in order to save the Hares. since it's likely Fairy is connected to the Hollows, their origins, and most likely, their fate. Phaeton's control over fairy represents the idea that now he controls the "Sun God's Chariot," a metaphorical tool that, if not wielded properly or with care, can change the world. Thus, Phaethon, as daring as the siblings are, must ride it with care.
Too bad they're all most likely dead (except the Purple Flames dude). Since it seems they fought the Hollows when they were first starting to appear, so that's at least a couple of hundreds of years to a thousand. We'll probably meet their descendants (like how we have already meet the current Hoshimi sword master, Hoshimi Miyabi)
@@eliasacevedo5711ouh.. Yeah that what I thought since she saying "I wonder how her successors are doing" But I hope some still alive cause all of them is really cool😢
The hunters mentioned last are still alive since we meet miyabi during our assessment.Theres also a pink haired girl wearing a hood in the movie store talking to your sibling at one point that looks alot like one of the characters.
The Voidhunters 1. Swordmaster 1:50 : Looks like Miyabi, or she's really Miyabi?. Maybe she was one of The Voidhunters before?" 2. Sunbringer 2:05 : Looks like Kiana in Sojourn battlesuit after Arc city incident, but with horns. 3. Joyous : I think i can feel Kalpas vibes from him, but it doesn't masked his face completely 4. Col. Vike : Elysia's Reincarnation, her wings looks pretty 5. Lt Col. Dan : "Her appearance almost like Raiden Mei, but her hair is more purple 6. Merc Leader Troupe : This robot can rival Clara's Svarog i think? 7. Prof Arche : i can feel his similarity to Soul of Cinder from dark souls, but this one's flames is purple.
1. Swordmaster confirmed to be an old gen void hunter, Miyabi is the successor 4. Vike isn’t the Elysia. The pink haired one is the leader of the falkarian army. The purple haired one is Vike
I have this theory that we (The MC or the Phaethon) will gather all the AI which are Yokai, Ghost, Fairy, Jinni. The 4 AI have its own function or roles like Ghost for hacking, Yokai for corruption, Fairy for searching, and Jinni for packaging and uploading. We only have Fairy so far, so I am going to guess that in 2.0 we will awake another AI.
I came here from this video: ruclips.net/video/EYZQjgEx2pI/видео.html, which theorizes that Ghost belongs to Rain, the hacker. I don't think we'll be collecting the AIs like Infinity Stones; instead, some of them will likely be allies, while others will belong to enemies.
@@tymkujoh It's just a slow start. I've seen many good stories that starts slow like Mushoku Tensei, Steins:Gate, Ergo Proxy, and even in books like The First Law trilogy. Whenever I see sotries with a slow start I'm always hopeful for it.
@@tusmuerttos738 Edit: well, just read the comments below me, I was wrong. 1:33 the male voice asked Fairy to search the keywords, and the female voice responded with "search complete", so yea she is Fairy.
@@laisy961She could easily be saying that in the sense of “Fairy’s search is complete”. The two voices we hear give orders to the AI but we don’t hear a verbal response. You can easily make the argument that the two characters were hearing are people separate from the AI
I’m calling it right now, the reason the protagonists are helping in Hollow Zero is to find the Professor. He founded Helios academy, and Phaethon is the son of Helios in Greek mythology. Phaethon attempted to drive the Sun chariot across the sky, believing he could do it just as well as his father. However, he could not control the horses causing him to first ride too close to Earth, and then too far from Earth. Ultimately, he was struck down by Zeus where he fell into the river Eridanus. The story of Phaethon is a cautionary tale about hubris
Close enough i guess, having played the newest chapters, Wise and Belle is trying to find the truth about their teacher - Carole Arna, a high class scientist who worked at Helios and one of the people who was blamed for the Hollow Zero accident which destroyed Old Eridu
Same, I had completely forgotten about the mention of Helios in this trailer until I watched it again after the storyline. I love getting Phaethon sibling lore and considering the fact that they're connected I feel like we're in for a wild ride
I had such low expectations of ZZZ honestly, then I played it, I lasted 12 hours before laying down to actually rest, next day I'm still playing and having fun.
If you stop comparing zzz with other game you can actually have fun people says " oH tHiS gAmE DoEsN'T hAvE tHiS aND tHaT fROM a CErTaIn gAmE" bla bla like who the hell cares just have fun if you're not having fun then just simply stop play the game
Yeah it's fun as heck. I'm addicted. It's like the ultimate arcade action gacha game. Exactly what I was hoping it would be. Tons of fun bite sized game modes, constant action (if you skip dialogue), it's the perfect gacha game if you have ADHD like me.
I gotta grind on WuWa and HSR but I just spent 2 days on ZZZ and only reason I stopped was because my fingers ache lol. Game is fun. Only thing that I could see killing it for me is if I compare it to some of my other games but I don't do that so no problems! It's honestly such an enjoyable game atm.
Really Enjoying zZz. Great Voice Acting all around, Great Graphics, Combat is fun, Story and Characters so far seem interesting and the Music Definitely Passed the Vibe Check. It's like I'm playing a Never Ending Persona Game except it's not turn based...and I love it.
Yeah this game is so fun to play 😁the only thing where it lies it's the content it lacks content because it's new. The main story is really too short😟. And I'm so excited for the next part ngl this teaser got me excited to see it. I saw many people saying belle and wise might be the students of the seventh hero and I want badly to know what's the plan of the two persons speaking in this vid
Dam the lore just keeps getting deeper and deeper, I really want to see more of it. I want to play with those three badass that pushed back the wall, that was a sick picture there and one of them was huge!
@@theremnants6807 So fun fact: If you look at the artifacts you get from Hollow Zero (and specifically, Throne). The strength of an ethereal is actually not based on the strength or aptitude of person, but based on a LACK of resistance to ethereal corruption. Nineveh wasn't a void hunter or some super strong fighter, the clues she left behind actually point to her being an upper class florist.
considering sunbringer has yellow blue heterochromia like imperfect Kiana, eliminated the direct hollow source before retiring, and she looks pretty similar to older anby, might be "super savior of humanity clones that are also my friend" shenanigans like ole Otto. maybe even a kaslana like acheron is a bad ending mix of dr. and herrscher. mei.
Maybe a counterpart to Acheron (Mei without a Kiana) for this game. Granted, we've had three games with a Mei, so her popularity is definitely a factor in whether she'll be potentially a future character.
okay so im actually so excited for this part of the story, all of it seems bright and sunny for now but from watching this trailer i can already tell theres something deeper
FYI The "Sunbringer" at 2:05 is definitely a stylized Kiana expy, it's not just your senses fooling you. Kiana's natural eyes are blue, and her HoV (or Sustainer from Genshin) eyes are yellow with star shapes in the middle, so it tracks that she has 1 blue eye, and 1 yellow with star shapes for pupils. The hair is a bit duller gray than her typical white or off-white depiction in HI3rd, but I really don't think there's any question here based on the eyes.
@@Fxrrxt2x it's probably just an expy i.e. same persona different bubble on the imaginary tree, a'la Mei (HI3rd), Raiden Mei (Genshin), and Raiden B. Mei (Star Rail)
@@zipzzo I'm about to show this video to my friend, who is a massive Kiana and HI3 fan, but I have a feeling he's not going to believe it. He's going to say that we're seeing things that aren't there. I'll try it anyway. That pink girl also looks like Elysia. She even has the ears. Has to be a reference.
Idc about all the hate ZZZ is getting. ZZZ has been actually really fun even though I had the lowest bar of expectations ever for the game. Imma let them cook. (Edit: I'm gatekeeping this game lmao. I feel like we should nurture this game with actual care unlike Gi if we want the community & ZZZ team to be healthy. Ngl with the direction of the game, I feel likes it's catering to a more "mature mind" of an audience compared to other Hoyo titles. And if thats the case I hope the community too will be the most Mature community out of Hoyo games so the whole experience will be healthy for once. No attacking VA's, Devs, teams, no drama, no begging, no comparing, I'm tired of all that always circling.)
Eh it's just a bunch of doom posters or people who are comparing open world to hack and slash. Completely different genres, completely different audiences.
Ghost: breaks in / hack some access to open Youkai: corrupts data and gains access Fairy: searches Jinie: uploads data Sorry this is spoilers, for new players do not see I am very excited about the storyline, how the protagonist will meet this ai called “Keys”, because what we know, the beginning of meeting the fairy is not something sudden, but maybe it was planned by the teacher, because what we know is that the protagonist is studying at the helios academy founded by the professor, so it could be that the protagonist's teacher has an important role or has several “keys” that will indeed be given to the protagonist when the teacher experiences events that will happen to him, in the story it is stated that the teacher is the perpetrator of the destruction of the old capital, but it could be that the teacher was planning or was defamed, because of that they became a phaeton / proxy to find the truth about his teacher, (3:44) where she says “you four behave now and wait for someone who can awaken you, then together that's when we will make New Eridu” which means it's already planned and at minute (1:30) a man who says that this is not the time to play games because maybe they are quickly taking data which is then uplouded to the database, sorry this is according to opinion and possibility.
They will probably make the Dark Wall and Divine Maze as game modes. In 1.4, Miyabi mentioned the Dark Wall and that one can only engage with it with all Void Hunters authorization, and a special protocol needs to be triggered from them as well, we don't know the details of it yet since its a Void Hunter only thing. The Divine Maze is also mysterious. If you complete floor 25 of the Simulation Tower, its creator mentions Joyous and its contributions to it. Maybe the Simulation and the Maze are related somehow.

They do grow in size. And can also get smaller if a large amount of Ethereals are killed.

"Hive lord" definitely was big enough to block out the sun. But this isn't so surprising if you think about the ZZZ Moon, the Moon is 80% taken by the Hollow, so it has potential to spawn a Planet-sized Ethereal

We need a map like this in game PLEASE
seriously, navigating using chapters is already PAIN in the ass, I can only imagine how it's gonna be once there are more...
This is probably gonna be a map in a year or two.
Look at this locations, the Chasm make me think that something or someone has splitted the world , and this "Expansion zone" hmm
Eridu Ruins I want to see how it looks like
37km is 22.9 Miles. It shares a very similar size to the Lake Pontchartrain Causeway (Bridge) in Louisiana, which is 23.83 Miles long (38.35 km). If you stand on the center of that bridge over lake Pontchatrain, you can not see land in any direction.
oh my godness, thats crazy
what kind of catastrophe even could make something this big...
@@foliaxx Fyi, that's the amount of the dark wall they pushed back, NOT the total size of the dark wall. One of the theories Ashikai (lore theorizer, highly recommend, look her up) is that the dark wall is completely surrounding New Eridu at this point past the outskirts in a circumference. Hence it being a "wall".
@@Ne0nie So Hollow Zero isn't even the frontline, it's merely a training ground in comparison. If you looked at the map there is place called expansion area. Maybe that's where the dark wall is supposed to be before it's been pushed back?
Dunno who'll see this but this guy's voice and cadence is practically the same as the guy in the loading screen TV station that opens with "When I was 15, I never was afraid of an Apocalypse."
Wonder if there's any connection. That's the first place I'd look.
Which one is that?
@@igorpomidorit’s one of the “ads” for the loading screen tv
in the new Grace teaser her professor sounds the same too if you haven’t seen it
This may be related to the fairy's first contact at the beginning of the chapters
That loading screen TV was from the videotape "This is How I Am".
This Is How I Am
(Video Genre)
Documentary Lv. 3
(Video Description)
This documentary brings together various kinds of audio-visual and textual information from the old civilization to show the world and human life during that period. It was once banned by a company in New Eridu on the grounds it was "showing a beautiful illusion that does not exist and diminishes citizen's safety awareness." It was later reopened after a large number of fans protested.
Here is what he says in full:
"When I was 15, the thought of an apocalypse never troubled me.
The only thing I could give up, even in the face of the world's end, was the sunset on that beach. Watching the sun gently slide into the waters embrace, with fireworks dancing on the canvas of the night sky, even tomorrow or better, it wouldn't be worse than I thought. When you're reading this letter, I imagine much has changed, whether it’s yourself… or the world."
If I remember correctly, didn’t Belle and Wise say something about wanting to fulfill the goal of their master/teacher (can’t remember)? Could it be that their teacher is Professor Arche, and that is why they are so interested in investigating Hollow Zero? (Since that is the last time anyone saw Professor Arche.)
Professor Arche is from prev era tho. Belle and Wise aren't even around at the time. It could be that the teacher is researching the city guardians or Hollow Zero too just like Professor Arche
ooh maybe! i thought they might also be connected to the person who invented bangboo, since bangboos are a pretty big part of their mo
"Phaethon", in Greek mythology, the son of "Helios"
@@tyrell9232but belle and wise said their previous home was in Eridu. I think its highly likely that was their teacher
@@lcfan2037I searched it up a bit, and was surprised to see that "Acheron" is also the child of Helios in Greek mythology lol
ooh. this is probably zzz's own teyvat chapter and fable about the stars teaser

yep it is. Seems like ZZZ's lore stems around the 4 AI's and the Phaethon has one of them. Idk what they are gonna do with them but its gonna be interesting.
Wuwa could've had this if they have more confidence on their original story but nah, they rewrote 90% of the story and turned everyone into Rover glazers because CN said so 🤣
@@justsomeguywithfreesauce4800umm wrong game? No need to bring other game into a zzz channel
@@justsomeguywithfreesauce4800couldnt agree more, the early beta stiry had so much potential.
Wonder if anyones noticed this or if it's just my own brain making links where there are none. But the names of the AI, Jinni, Ghost, Youkai, and Fairy. All of these names obviously come from a mythological creature, but something I find interesting is that all of these could be seen as either Mischievous, Dangerous , or even Helpful depending on the myth you base them on.
Jinni is probably a Djinn, or Genie. As we're all aware thanks to Aladdin, you can have your helpful Genie, or your evil ones, but trickster Djinn are also mentioned. These primarily come from Arabic culture.
Ghost, well we all know what a ghost is! But that also means we all know how varied ghosts can be in interpretation!
Youkai, a youkai is a type of monster from japanese mythology, even calling them a monster isn't exactly accurate, nor demon, as they are so varied, to simply call something a youkai is like looking at a spider and saying bug. You're not wrong, but you're not right either. They probably choose this term for the simple fact it has so many types.
Fairy. Obviously this is the AI we know the most about considering the games plot, but Fairies come from europeon mythology, and much like Youkai, to simply point at something and call it a Fae or a Fairy is not incorrect, but not entirely correct, as many things count as a type of Fae, and run the gambit of helpful, to mischievous, to outright harmful.
Ah well, thanks to anyone who pays attention to my rant, maybe I'm onto something!
**
When Thor (PirateSoftware) picked this up briefly, he mentioned that all of them are primarily dangerous folklore monsters, with no "helpful" element. Any beneficial behavior is typically either coincidental or a setup for something harmful down the road (which in-game Fairy's existence seems to imply quite a bit).
If it weren't for that, the visions your MC gets when first-time interacting with Fairy should already suggest some bad mojo scheduled to happen down the road, likely as a result of your new contract. It's more than likely that true to the mythological depictions, all these AI are programmed to fulfill an undisclosed purpose while screwing over everything and everyone else to get there.
also fairy looks like the turkish eye of protection the nazar so she is more likely a helpful but still being a "fairy fae" has her own agenda
@@Yorushima also fairy looks like the turkish eye of protection the nazar so she is more likely a helpful "fae fairy" but still being a "fae" has her own agenda
Jinni, Ghost, Youkai, and Fairy all belong to the category of supernatural beings or entities found in various mythologies, folklore, and cultural traditions around the world. They all have a few things in common such as:
Supernatural Origins: All of these beings are believed to exist beyond the natural world, often associated with spiritual, magical, or otherworldly realms.
Cultural Significance: Each of these entities plays a significant role in the folklore, mythology, or religious beliefs of different cultures. For example, Jinn are rooted in Islamic tradition, Ghosts in various global beliefs, Youkai in Japanese folklore, and Fairies in Western European myths.
Variety in Forms and Behaviors: These beings come in many forms and can exhibit a wide range of behaviors, from benevolent to malevolent. Their characteristics often vary widely depending on the specific culture or story.
Interaction with Humans: Each of these beings has stories or legends involving interactions with humans, whether through haunting, granting wishes, trickery, or offering protection.
Mystery and Fear: They all evoke a sense of mystery, wonder, or fear, often being subjects of cautionary tales or myths that explain the unexplainable.
They are four types of spirits from different cultures / folklore.

Genshin Impact - “World Quests”
Honkai Star Rail - Adventure Missions and Myriad Celestia
Zenless Zone Zero - *Lore Teaser*
its a little on the nose, isnt it...
@@HDDStrider It's just Hoyo thing. For being from the same company, I don't think there is any problem for them to use the same story promotion strategy.
My guess is this game will be like Hi3rd, the story will maybe complicated and long with a deep lore, since this is a new universe outside of honkaiverse. Even the gameplay is similar
Genshin's is the Travail trailer
Genshin is suppose to be "teyvat chapter travail"
I was a little worried the worldbuilding would be a little thin but this is setting up so many interesting layers.
This has some serious Honkai vibes, especially with the mystery of Hollows and a previous era that fought against the first wave.
It even reminds me a little of Made in Abyss with how the Hollow Zones need to be carefully explored and cause risk of a loss of humanity.
the classic “mysterious infested areas” concept is always gonna be a banger when done right, and it looks like the ZZZ writing team is cooking w it 🫡
honestly thought the entire game was going to be central around urban or fighting game 'look' which is ok, but seeing characters with that made in abyss look and arknights look I'm liking the world and characters more and more

Whoa we said the same thing

Zenless Zone Zero is definitely going to have the deep lore and the dark and emotional storytelling I have seen in Hoyoverse games. I’m really looking forward to learning more about the world and characters of Zenless Zone Zero, it is definitely shaping up to be something great like other Hoyoverse games in my opinion. Good Luck to Everyone in their Signal Searches!
The biggest problem is that they can tell all these dark stories and then implement nothing to the game. Just look at war torn Natlan nation in Genshin, the trailer showed happy bright Sumeru 2.0 and even if they gonna make good war story - the game itself will still be kiddy bright without any reflection of centuries of war and destruction.
So glad they're starting small with just getting to know all the factions.
@@RavenShugoNatlan was always said to be a vacation spot idk what you're on

@@idonthaveaname11 so it's a vacation spot and at the same time an area of constant war and struggle - I guess hoyo forgetting what they write))
Jinni - Upload - 3:36 "Jinni, pack up and start 'uploading'."
Ghost - Hack - 0:12 "I had to use Ghost to 'hack' in"
Youkai - Corrupt - 0:24 "Go, Youkai, Start 'corrupting' the database firewall."
Fairy - Search - 1:34 "Fairy, 'search' for preset keywords"
I can't tell if all 4 AIs have these 4 functions or do they only serve these specific functions(I think this makes the most sense, considering they brought 4 different AIs to enter the database instead of just 1 super AI", either ways this is just for brain rot HAHA
Search. Which now we know is the ability to have near 80% access to all information.
We can use this as a standard to figure out what the other three can do.
Jinni, maybe able to store and process huge amounts of data.
Hacking is pretty self explanatory.
And corrupting is probably something along the line of controlling.
Which is interesting is that Just fairy alone could flip out the entire system.
But the mysterious two had clearly all four of them. And somehow threw them in the New Eridu.
My wild guess is that these people are on the moon.
Also makes you wonder, if Phaethon already has Fairy (who actually does do a lot of "searching" for the siblings) does that mean they're also going to collect the other three, or are those going to be obtained by other members of the roster? And that's assuming that those AI are still on the same side.
I think AIs can do all of these things. But they are strong in their field.
So it might be Ghost that hacked fairy in chapter 5?
Ghost: breaks in
Youkai: corrupts data and gains access
Fairy: searches
Jinie: uploads data
Now these are the designs I'm excited for! And considering the names and statuses of these AIs, I am sure this was all before our acquisition of Fairy. But Youkai did mention Fairy here... is the female voice Fairy? Anyways, they have nailed the aesthetic, and I can't be more thrilled. Just waiting for an Urban Mei...
EDIT: After watching it again, I have a speculative theory. These two mysterious individuals are planning something huge, and know more than the average Eridu citizen. The AIs are somewhat connected to the deep voice, and each one of them are specialized for certain tasks:
Ghost: Hacking
Youkai: Corruption
Fairy: Search
Jinni: Loading
The women's comments signify they hold a very thorough knowledge of Eridu, as well as New Eridu. And from her reaction to the three Void Hunters who pushed back the Black Wall, it seems there's some history between her and them. And the deep voice's query only alludes to the fact that the more active and exploring party is the woman. The deep voice is probably stationary, and the woman uses it. They are biding time for someone to come across the AIs, possibly due to some restrictions. I am sure the cutscene when we calibrate Fairy holds more clues, but anyways. Judging from the Inter-Knots security and tight censorship on information, the power controlling New Eridu is just as strong as them, or probably even stronger.
My guess for the future is that we are going to stumble across another AI. And that AI could be Ghost. And when that happens, another Void Hunter will be introduced with a lot of revelations.
Oh yes, and the person who "hacked" our HDD and got our main account, is just another party that is interested in this whole Watchmaker's Legacy-esque rat race. And I have a feeling that Professor Arche is our mentor. The person who took us in and probably raised us. Or maybe his successor? We already know we are from the old Eridu, so that couldn't be far fetched. Considering their superior Eous and Bangboo tech, I am sure they have knowledge from the old Eridu.
I know I've been yapping for long, but there is this last detail I very much liked. At the start of the access to Inter-Knot, we got a message on Phaethon. It probably is something legendary to have it be honored as such, but what makes it interesting is the symbolism. From the message, it seems Phaethon was a hero and almost divine-like. Us, with Phaethon as our Proxy ID, are probably going to get involved in this big, corporate, not-what-it-looks-like mystery. That would truly be the ressurection of Phaethon.
No, the female voice says "Behave you four and wait for someone to awaken you" when the list containing "Fairy, Youkai, etc" flashes up on the stream. Meaning that the female voice is not one of the four AIs. She is probably the creator of the AIs, or at least connected to their creation.
Phaethon is actually a part of Greek mythology. He was the son of the sun god Helios, who in an attempt to be recognized by his father, was allowed to drive his chariot (the sun). in short, the ride was a total disaster and he was killed by Zeus. the reference to the myth might be why that piece of text mentions the Sun God's Chariot.
The fact that Wise and Belle go under the name Phaethon, and the text in this video mentions that while Phaethon failed greatly, he also was very daring, it might be plausible that the two characters may follow a similar path, daring to prove themselves, but at risk of suffering a great failure.
Not only that but the fact that they're interested in getting a legal way of investigating the hollow zero and has their own objective inside definitely strengthens the speculation that Professor Arche is their mentor
@@cosmicpoptart3699 about daring and risk, isn't already happening with MCs helping Hares and result lost as thier proffeional account so they now have to work from ground.
@@islamsalimzhanov4399
potentially, however I think it might be more likely that the "sun god's Chariot," that they reference in this chamber may be Fairy, since Phaethon chose to install the chip that contained her in order to save the Hares. since it's likely Fairy is connected to the Hollows, their origins, and most likely, their fate. Phaeton's control over fairy represents the idea that now he controls the "Sun God's Chariot," a metaphorical tool that, if not wielded properly or with care, can change the world. Thus, Phaethon, as daring as the siblings are, must ride it with care.

I have this theory that we (The MC or the Phaethon) will gather all the AI which are Yokai, Ghost, Fairy, Jinni. The 4 AI have its own function or roles like Ghost for hacking, Yokai for corruption, Fairy for searching, and Jinni for packaging and uploading. We only have Fairy so far, so I am going to guess that in 2.0 we will awake another AI.
Thats a lot of electricity bill to pay
Perhaps with all the AI we can find the location of the final void Hunter. Afterall he is connected to phaethons goal in a way.
imagine the power bills, burnice really needs to start helping old people in the hollow again for lottery coupons
i think next version we get another ai
I came here from this video: ruclips.net/video/EYZQjgEx2pI/видео.html, which theorizes that Ghost belongs to Rain, the hacker. I don't think we'll be collecting the AIs like Infinity Stones; instead, some of them will likely be allies, while others will belong to enemies.

ZZZ DESIGNS POPPING OFF AS USUAL. I cannot wait to see these characters in gameplay or in the story!!
I’m calling it right now, the reason the protagonists are helping in Hollow Zero is to find the Professor. He founded Helios academy, and Phaethon is the son of Helios in Greek mythology. Phaethon attempted to drive the Sun chariot across the sky, believing he could do it just as well as his father. However, he could not control the horses causing him to first ride too close to Earth, and then too far from Earth. Ultimately, he was struck down by Zeus where he fell into the river Eridanus. The story of Phaethon is a cautionary tale about hubris
The four horses is the four A.I fairy was the first ones
Along with this theory is that we will have to likely fight him as a Boss fight. Maybe after fighting him he will revert to a more normal state?
Close enough i guess, having played the newest chapters, Wise and Belle is trying to find the truth about their teacher - Carole Arna, a high class scientist who worked at Helios and one of the people who was blamed for the Hollow Zero accident which destroyed Old Eridu
I had goosebumps rewatching this after that reveal in 1.2 story

@@theremnants6807 So fun fact: If you look at the artifacts you get from Hollow Zero (and specifically, Throne). The strength of an ethereal is actually not based on the strength or aptitude of person, but based on a LACK of resistance to ethereal corruption.

1:56 no one talking about how massive that hollow monster is? I think he called it the Exaultist Overseer
That is not what the monster's name.
Overseer is basically a religious figure, so I assume there is a cult that worships Ethereals and Hollows.

So definitely do not miss out of any Void Hunter banners
okay so im actually so excited for this part of the story, all of it seems bright and sunny for now but from watching this trailer i can already tell theres something deeper
i hope belle and wise dont separate all of a sudden 😻
ELYSIA! And with angel wings! She's so beautiful!!
1:31 i got a chill when he said Fairy, i really wonder what's her story and the guy talking with her.
Coming back here after seeing the Void Hunter logo on Miyabi’s drip marketing 😂
LORE ENJOYERS ARE EATING GOOD‼️💯 RAAAAGGGGHHH 🗣️🗣️🗣️‼️‼️‼️🔥🔥🔥
их стиль как всегда на высоте, это выглядит просто великолепно. Музыка и голоса отлично подобранны.. это слишком круто))
I’m pretty interested in the giant dude with the sword that helped push hollow zero back he looks cool asf
Coming back to this video after Chapter 4 hits different.
real
7 hunters, as 7 archons. Neat. I honestly did not expected myself to become interested in the lore of this game but color me curious.
FYI The "Sunbringer" at 2:05 is definitely a stylized Kiana expy, it's not just your senses fooling you.
Kiana's natural eyes are blue, and her HoV (or Sustainer from Genshin) eyes are yellow with star shapes in the middle, so it tracks that she has 1 blue eye, and 1 yellow with star shapes for pupils. The hair is a bit duller gray than her typical white or off-white depiction in HI3rd, but I really don't think there's any question here based on the eyes.
There's... no way, right? Surely it's just coincidence?
@@Fxrrxt2x it's probably just an expy i.e. same persona different bubble on the imaginary tree, a'la Mei (HI3rd), Raiden Mei (Genshin), and Raiden B. Mei (Star Rail)
@@zipzzo I'm about to show this video to my friend, who is a massive Kiana and HI3 fan, but I have a feeling he's not going to believe it. He's going to say that we're seeing things that aren't there. I'll try it anyway. That pink girl also looks like Elysia. She even has the ears. Has to be a reference.
according to Devs this isn't Hoyoverse but completely separate thing
Also the name Sunbringer Kind of gives callbacks to her final Transcend scene
Where she becomes a light to illuminate otheres
Idc about all the hate ZZZ is getting. ZZZ has been actually really fun even though I had the lowest bar of expectations ever for the game. Imma let them cook.
(Edit: I'm gatekeeping this game lmao. I feel like we should nurture this game with actual care unlike Gi if we want the community & ZZZ team to be healthy. Ngl with the direction of the game, I feel likes it's catering to a more "mature mind" of an audience compared to other Hoyo titles. And if thats the case I hope the community too will be the most Mature community out of Hoyo games so the whole experience will be healthy for once. No attacking VA's, Devs, teams, no drama, no begging, no comparing, I'm tired of all that always circling.)
Same ignore the haters and just enjoy the game if not then play other else, it's that simple no need for a very mass hating
Agree
Yeah. Hate to say it but Hoyo cooked with this game and people NEED to give it a chance
Eh it's just a bunch of doom posters or people who are comparing open world to hack and slash. Completely different genres, completely different audiences.
@@VanguardAlexkio THE LORE IS COOKING ONG. This game has so much potential for good plot.
After the 1.4 mission and everything have sense!
This video is so cool to watch after finishing the current story quest. The mystery is beginning to show itself.
Close enough, welcome back Silver Wolf
Ghost: breaks in / hack some access to open
Youkai: corrupts data and gains access
Fairy: searches
Jinie: uploads data
Sorry this is spoilers, for new players do not see
I am very excited about the storyline, how the protagonist will meet this ai called “Keys”, because what we know, the beginning of meeting the fairy is not something sudden, but maybe it was planned by the teacher, because what we know is that the protagonist is studying at the helios academy founded by the professor, so it could be that the protagonist's teacher has an important role or has several “keys” that will indeed be given to the protagonist when the teacher experiences events that will happen to him, in the story it is stated that the teacher is the perpetrator of the destruction of the old capital, but it could be that the teacher was planning or was defamed, because of that they became a phaeton / proxy to find the truth about his teacher,
(3:44) where she says “you four behave now and wait for someone who can awaken you, then together that's when we will make New Eridu” which means it's already planned and at minute (1:30) a man who says that this is not the time to play games because maybe they are quickly taking data which is then uplouded to the database,
sorry this is according to opinion and possibility.
Omg, they look majestic
After 1.2 story we finally now who phateon is searching in the hollow zero, lore pieces are already coming toghether
Definitely pulling for these void hunters 💯
They will probably make the Dark Wall and Divine Maze as game modes. In 1.4, Miyabi mentioned the Dark Wall and that one can only engage with it with all Void Hunters authorization, and a special protocol needs to be triggered from them as well, we don't know the details of it yet since its a Void Hunter only thing.
The Divine Maze is also mysterious. If you complete floor 25 of the Simulation Tower, its creator mentions Joyous and its contributions to it. Maybe the Simulation and the Maze are related somehow.
虚狩りの7人めちゃビジュ刺さる…
まだ立ち絵だけだけどめちゃ使いてぇ〜!!
Whatever going on it looks it going to get more interesting
Is that Kiana Kaslana and Elysia in my Zenless Zone Zero???? It makes me so happy to see designs reminiscent of them!!!
Professor Arche just got a little more interesting...
true....
i have a feeling he is the Octo of ZZZ.
Ghost to hack in
Youkai to corrupt firewall
Fairy to search information
Jinni to pack and send package,
They will be found by Phaethon. Lol
notice how they said "you four behave now wait until someone awakens you" well we got fairy awakened now
Dangg this will be amazing I just know it they will slay this 👏👏👏👏
This looks exciting! We are in the zone.
"Where The Miracles Began"
Sensei From Blue Archive: Hey I've Heard This One Before.

@@kosnag *Vibing*
Don't mind me, but I kinda feel this is like a world fighting against the IX shadows from Star rail.
Dark Wall mention in 1.4, the proxies have fairies temporary power i guess or something something need a lot more lore
