      Aventurine, by far.
      Jade seems like legit, the most evil playable character so far. There's only a handful of characters that lean towards evil or rides the middle. But Jade doesn't seem to have any redeeming traits, other than looks XD
      Topaz, really rubbed me the wrong way in the Belebog mission, really bad.
      The down talking of the museum, that I personally adored building up. The blatantly false and misleading info on how she fixes planets. Deciding to only show up, after we fixed everything. To come like a vulture to feast on a planet at its most sensitive time. Springing debt on them, with interest, on a planet they had written off as destroyed. And doing it during their very first festival after uniting. Threatening and blackmailing everyone.
      And being a terrible leader who repeatedly shows she can't control her men, who seem to just terrorize civilians everywhere they go. 'But it's okay, because Topaz repeatedly scolds them' (sarcasm).
      And her 'sacrificial' act didn't do much. The Trailblazers and Belebogians did everything. And all she did was...push the debt collection back a bit?
      'What a hero'....
      More annoying, you can't really ever call her out on her nonsense. Instead, the game railroads you into being forced to praise her. I mean, I can literally insult Clara on a personal level, but I can't say anything rude to Topaz?

    • @Aizen2468
      @Aizen2468 5 месяцев назад +5

      But Aventurine had a really interesting back story, a fascinating fight, showed as truly gray in a way that was interesting. Letting you choose to be positive towards his character, or utterly tear him down if you didn't care for him with your dialogue options. Options that weren't available with Topaz. All we could do with Topaz was repeatedly praise her, or at best, be a little neutral.
      Not to mention, that by the end, I was actually rooting for Aventurine. When Topaz got demoted, I didn't care. I really didn't feel like she did anything heroic or cool. She just...pushed the debt back, and that's it XD and we had to kiss up to her, and repeatedly praise her for it, after all the nonsense she caused. I didn't enjoy that at all, really.
      I think with Aventurine, they took feedback and really made a compelling character though. If you're gonna make a gray character, that partly helps you and is selfish, but has good motives; then let us the players, decide whether we like the character or not. Don't railroad us into only being able to be nice to them after they pull awful stuff like what Topaz did. As I said before, even the kid characters in this game you can say mean stuff to XD but Topaz, you can't lol

    Great video but there are some mistakes I noticed:
    1. Diamond is not a board member, but a board member candidate (like Oswaldo). The success of Penacony mission helped him gain a vote from Taravan, one of the board members
    2. Obsidian is bathing in pomegranate juice, which is interesting since in greek mythology, pomegranates are referred as "fruit of the dead"
    3. Opal is not the leader of the ten stonehearts, Diamond is. I think Opal is like the supervisor or a spokesperson since he's the one who seems closest to Diamond
    4. Initially, Opal is supposed to handle Penacony mission, but switched to Aventurine bc Diamond wanted a more peaceful solution
    5. Like some other stonehearts, Opal's cornerstone has oval shape, which is shown at the end of the trailer

    I wonder if they can keep increasing the number of stonehearts if necessary.

So maybe we could see a 11th stoneheart down the line?

    Btw, Jade's real name is Eve, as we can get from her story quest "all about Eve" and in the Poop deck, we find a document written by a visitor to the Dreamscape, containing a journal of their travels addressed to an Eve, that was chronically or terminally ill and could not leave the house to see the universe. Further proof that these two are the same person, can be seen in the fact that Jade has a soft spot for Firefly, who as we know is suffering from entropy loss syndrome , and says that she and firefly are the same. We can even assume, she made a contract to become one of the ten stonehearts in exchange for better health and a longer life, which ties in to the biblical "eve" symbolism with the serpent

    "Aventurine is underrated." Words not to be used in the presence of Emily or Sam Slade.
    In regards to Agate, I'm leaning towards using the Chinese interpretation of the stone, considering the stone was on what appears to be a shrine to the Chinese God of Wealth. In China, the Agate symbolizes "protection, harmony, and balance," while believers of Feng Shui see it as a stone that promotes "calming" and "healing" properties.
    This could lend credence to the Katarina theory as she is portrayed as somebody diametrically opposed to the above symbolism. On the other hand, if we go by stereotypes, one could also argue that Agate would be from somebody from the Xianzhou, considering the Chinese-style shrine.

    TheGamerChronicles999, I noticed something interesting. If you look at the 2 scenes (one with the ten stone hearts walking up the stairs towards diamond's stone and the other showing the portraits of all ten stonehearts going from left to right), you can probably identify the ranks (p44,p45,p46, etc...) as well as the rankings within each rank if that makes any sense. The stairs scene correctly shows the opal being top only losing to diamond, with obsidian to be next, then jade, and to my knowledge everyone that follows fits their rank (p45 or below). I can't really see Topaz and there are 2 characters to the side that I can't really tell who they are but the rest seems to match. The sliding portrait scenes also matches this order and suggests that amber and agate are below Topaz and probably are also p44 which can be correct because to my knowledge we only know the Topaz got demoted and that she isn't the lowest ranked in her own ranking.

    • @ucbrowser2447
      @ucbrowser2447 5 месяцев назад +7

      @henrycherry1884 4 месяца назад +4

      You can also identify the ranks by the stonehearts picture and the scene with qlipoth at the end of the trailer. With that, we can easily see that amber, sugilite and agate (and possibly topaz) are p44s. Sapphire, pearl and aventurine are p45s. Jade, Obsidian and Opal are p46s with Opal being the closest to Diamond. I think we'll have to fight opal in the future

    • @ryankwon8785
      @ryankwon8785 10 дней назад

      However, one might speculate whether her empathy is merely a tool for manipulation, designed to recruit potential orphans into the IPC. This bears a resemblance to the Fatui’s practice of grooming orphans in the House of the Hearth to become leaders, soldiers, and operatives. This notion is hinted at when Numby displays fear toward Jade, while Topaz appears like a brainwashed follower who idolizes her. Topaz seems to be in denial, clinging to a deluded belief that the IPC is benevolent, whereas Numby instinctively senses that Jade is a deeply malevolent and terrifying individual.

    • @ryankwon8785
      @ryankwon8785 10 дней назад

      I agree. Hoyoverse excels at crafting distinct and nuanced factions in their storytelling. In Genshin Impact, the Liyue Qixing, despite being a corporate alliance, are portrayed as literal saints who use their power and influence to protect and guide Liyue. In contrast, in Honkai: Star Rail, the IPC comes across as nothing more than abusive, selfish opportunists who, in my opinion, would utterly disgust Qlipoth. The IPC’s actions repeatedly contradict Qlipoth’s ideals of isolation and separation, which are intended to protect worlds from harm.
      This raises the question: are the IPC merely using the Amber Lord as a facade for their true masters? Tayzzyronth of the Path of Propagation could fit this role, as Propagation emphasizes endless expansion and replication across worlds for eternity. However, Nanook of the Path of Destruction is another possibility, given how corporations often cause subtle, slow self-destruction through division, slavery, oppression, and exploitation.

      @@TheGamerChronicles999 I think the scene was very intentional in that we were definitely meant to THINK it was blood, then realize that it wasn't after we would see the pomegranates and pomegranate wine. Imo, I don't really believe Hoyo has the balls to make an actual character bathe in blood, monetization issues or not. The most they could do is have a character bathe in something reminiscent of blood in-universe so it gives off the implication of bathing in blood. While Obsidian is very reminiscent of a vampire, she may just simply allude to that rather than actually be one. She seems to be a wine enthusiast because in every media we see her in she is seen drinking it (Jade's character story) or bathing in it (This trailer), which aligns with the whole "rich aesthetic" going on with the Stonehearts. Also, the pomegranates definitely mean something more to her character rather than just to pose as blood. I could see it being relevant to her character like with Jade's apples.

I could definitely be wrong though.
      My loose suggestion (which will probably be very off the mark when we learn more about Obsidian) is that she may be closely related to the concept of "Blood Money".

Agate is in a small shrine which looks similar to traditional Chinese shrines and the decor with the small tea cups and incense are usually things that they put in these shrines. So they probably are in the xianzhou but who knows. My favourite so far based purely off design is probably sugilite

    Even if you call Jade evil, I couldn’t careless. If you made a deal with her you are desperate or decide to take shortcuts. In life there aren’t shortcut only ‘equal exchange’. Take Firefly for example, she could have a choke hold on her if she accept, so why Jade didn’t? Because she know Firefly wish for something she could possibly never get, while the other are just desperate and just try to go the easy route. The idea of someone staying stagnant and not try to reach for something higher is pretty stupid aswell. If I was in diamond positions and an Emanator, I would also try to gun for the Top position. You would be stupid if you didn’t. I’m saying this as someone who don’t even have a single IPC memeber on my team beside Ratio because he was gifted. Like many rich people said, Business is just business, if you get f*cked over, too bad, try again.

    I wouldnt say the IPC is evil or good just another faction whose end goal is to follow the direction their Aeon has set for them. Their methods and goals make players lean towards one side or the other depending on how you view things. If the IPC is evil than so is the Stellaron Hunters and the Xianzho Alliance. both of which we are supposed to like.
    The Stellaron hunters do some pretty evil stuff to get thier goals but we are supposed to like them so its easy to give them a pass. The goal they have seems to be for the greater good but it can come back to the old dilema of would you kill a innocent child to save the planet. Its a hard question for most to answer honestly without having a sense of guilt from the choice one way or another.
    The Xianzho and their Aeon they follow are also not good people and are basically extremists, like many who follow a path., We helped them and it moved our perspective of them to be perceived as "Good". Many of them are very likable and have quality morals like a normal person would, but the path they follow can/will force them into situations that could be seen as morally wrong. The Xianzho literally have a role for torture and execution which to most would not be seen as morally good. Lan's hatred towards the abundance has caused the deaths of countless of his followers. He is seen to focus more on the mortals and sees them but that only makes this worse as he still uses them as pawns.
    I understand why many will hate the IPC becuase RL has taught us to be skepical of the motives of BIG CORPO for valid reasons. The IPC does do a lot of questionable things but also make choices that benifit people, but do so because it benifits them. Just becuase it benifits you as its defining motivation doesnt change whether the act itself is good or not. Most people who donate to charity do so becuase it makes them feel good or a write off which is selfish, but we still see it as a good act. I just feel the IPC has the issue of having the most extremes on both morally good and bad while the story frames most things from the perspective of seeing as a negative. Had the IPC not selfishly intevined in many worlds they would be dead and gone.
    This is just how I see it and why I think games like HSR are so good becuase the characters and the universe they live in are far more complex. Down the road we will learn more about the destruction and our perspective on them may alter as new information occurs.
    Im always down to see other peoples perspectives. So if you agree or think im big dumb let me know. Talking about lore is always great.

      I honestly would save the planet tbh, if u had the kill one person to save a planet, then it's not that bad, one sacrifice is needed without sacrificing half or all of humanity, also the path of the xianzho doesn't even seem bad, I mean there just following there path, also forcing into situations? I mean they are willingly follow their path so I'm not surprised if they did morally Wrong due to their path, but anyways this is just my opinion, don't take it too seriously tho 😂

    • @diananefalia
      @diananefalia 5 месяцев назад

      @@AnneNicole-eo9vp Thats why I find it interesting. I think most would kill the one person to save a planet. The fact they are innocent makes the moral dilema more difficult to rationalize. What if that planet was filled with thieves and murders? Would that change things? In the end its making a choice to do evil becuase the outcome can be weighed in a positive light. A lot of what the IPC does can be seen as both good and evil but becuase of our preconceived view of corporations IRL we see mostly from the side of evil. Now dont get me wrong, the IPC is in no way a good guy either. I think they are just in the middle with times where they push too far from one side to the other all in thier goal of following thier path, just like the Xianzho.
      I love history and you see this constantly repeat itself where good is changed to bad and vice versa. Its what makes seeing others views interesting.

If they know who she is, it seems they underestimate her full power, or at least some of them did, until now. And it seems that Sugilite is blind to fact that Acheron is the Emanator of Nihility, but the jury is still out on that one. But let's face it, even if he does face off against Acheron, I doubt that he would have a chance.

      None. Aventurine's power is confirmed to be from the preservation as that's specifically why it was able to mitigate the effects of Acheron's slash on the dreamscape and protect Aventurine himself from the taint of nihility, and even Sunday could see how the cornerstones glistened with the light of Qlipoths very body. That, and the the only thing we really know about Diamond is that he's loyal to the way of the preservation if his quote in the databank is anything to go by.
      If anything, Taravan would be Voracity Emanator, since there are rumors that he's not actually a believer in Preservation despite being an Emanator of Preservation, and Qlipoth straight up ignores all the building materials his department collects for them. Granted Qlipoth ignores the IPC as a whole, but you'd think he wouldn't dismiss someone who is supposedly his own Emanator.
