Okay, so I see some people accidentally spreading misinfo here, so some clarification: there are plenty of non-limited 4-star characters that have been added, they just didn’t get trailers. Only March and Serval got trailers as 4-stars. Additionally, the game has character selectors or welfares every couple patches, so it’s easy enough to keep up, especially with the strength of some of the free characters. But ONLY the limited characters get one of these fully animated trailers. Everyone else just gets a “Keeping Up with Star Rail” video.
I will also add that some of the early trailers were for standard banner characters. Starting from Seele going forward, everyone has been a limited run 5 star, but everyone before Seele's trailer is available at any time through normal gacha.
The reason why the latest few new trailers aren't in english is due to the VA strike going on in the United states. A lot of them are on strike wanting protection and ownership of their voices in a time of AI. So they went with the JPN VA's under HSR management i think.
Hey, now is a great time to start the game. The current banners are Acheron and Aventurine. Acheron is one of the most powerful dps and Aventurine is one of the best tank supports.
@@fugosfork7907 She's not that bad actually, much better than Gepard. Has a small team heal, damage reduction, Crit rate buff and guaranteed debuff resist.
If you're interested in very story-driven games, I couldn't recommend this enough. Each planet gets deeper in its storytelling as you go along; the most recent (Penacony) has one of my favorite stories ever in video games. I'd watch a stream / vod if you choose to do so, I enjoyed your trailer reactions! If you watch more, I might suggest turning subtitles on as they like to sneak little pieces of lore in the subtitles for the animated shorts and myriad celestia trailers. Also, don't worry too much about what's "meta" if you play and start to get comments about it, you can clear story content with anyone. (But pull for Acheron, who's on the current banner. Ignore my username.)
Commenting as I watch :) -Kafka is not a new character haha, she's been in the game since launch and had her banner a few patches after. -Also. you seem to think that pullable=good guys, which is not true, as there are many different factions and they dont necessarily like each other. Sparkle, Jingliu, Blade, Kafka, among others are...morally grey, to say the least. Not to mention Ruan Mei...😒 -But yes, as others have mentioned, most characters are limited, but they do have reruns. Acheron's and Aventurine's reruns are actually happening right now. -Speaking of Acheron, she is very strong lorewise, you are right -NOT YOU THINKING AVENTURINE IS A SIDE MISSION/EVENT 🤣 He had SO much screen time in the main story, trust me -Robin is a darling. Would you believe me if I said her whole kit is about singing
I would say all the characters seen here are part of the main story, each having their important part to play. Some have only appeared for a short amount and will likely get story continuence later. Also Star Rail has a pretty big group of villains/antagonists or morally grey characters amongst playable and will be getting more of them later with anticipated characters seen in the HSR Myriad Celestia Trailers.
I've seen some people react to these and the chat say" no 4 star character trailer yet" but March 7th and Serval are both 4 stars. A vtuber does voice Jingliu and Jing Yuan btw. Jingliu is voiced by Monarch and Jing Yuan is voiced by Cy Yu. Sparkle gives you jumpscare in the main story
You can get all the characters you want but when they get reruns, we usually know a month in advance who is rerunning next and the banners last 3 weeks!!
Just be clear, the power scale of the character in this game is insane Sometimes you will see a normal human who capable of fighting some normal goons and sometimes you will see someone who capable of destroying a planet
Btw, to answer your question if some are antagonistic or not, in game we don't really know who is the real antagonistic, but there is a lot of bosses that are actually playable characters.
@@AutumnsJourney Yeah. It's quite different from ptn and reverse. The CN community calls it the "Hoyo banner" lol. Looking forward to seeing your reactions to the game and story
@@AutumnsJourney if you play right now the 2 character which is available is Acheron the girl with a sword that summon black hole And aventurine the fabulous gambler boy Great time to start honestly since Acheron is arguably top 1-3 best dps in the game And aventurine is the best tank he can support a whole team without needing to add a healer
Great reactions, the enthusiasm shows! You can definitely pull for quite a few antagonistic characters in this game and it's turn-based fully 3D like Persona, although you probably already know about that by now. From your character list, Firefly will rerun soon. She's limited but HSR gives a lot of rewards each patch, especially for new players, so you'd have a solid chance.
Funny enough you should mention Code Geass in the Firefly trailer because the last frame of her transformation is a reskin of a scene with Lancelot in Code Geass
I love discovering your reactions of the gacha games that I know or used to play 😂💖 Yeah it’s a turn-based game like Reverse1999 but in 3D with part of open world (to walk around in each planet) HSR is still one of the Mihoyo games that I find very stylish, cool and pretty (Plus the lore is good too) By the way, in chinese the letter « Q » is pronunced « like TCH » in chocolate (english) and the « x » a little like « sh » like « show » Like this you will know 🤗 (because it’s a chinese game) Serval, Gepard (they’re both brother and sisters), Bronya and Himeko my favorites 🥹🙌💖 I am nostalgic now from this video haha
Thank you so much for your kind words and also for giving me helpful pronunciation tips Hopefully, I won't forget Your comment always brings me a smile to my face Thank you
@ No worry, the power of animes and gacha game will help you to pronunce well 🤣🙌💖 (You actually pronunce good some chinese names even though you didn’t know haha) Your reaction videos and opinions on the trailers and games are always wholesome and in high spirit 🤩🙌
The swarm definitely does have some similarities to the zerg now that you mention it. Minor lore spoilers but they did in fact threaten the universe, in the past, but their god died and now they aren't quite as much of a threat anymore, even if they are still very dangerous, just not universe destroying. Yep Kafka is definitely shipped with the MC (gray hair) a lot. Without spoilers, if you pick the right response during her quest she sends you a picture of her boobas. MC is also shipped with a few others, black swan(though BS is often shipped with acheron too due to another trailer), Robin, but most of all Firefly
Here some sugerences for more Honkai Star Rail reactions - Animated shorts {a group of animated videos with a VERY high anime style quality} - Myriad Celestia trailers {a group of more videos more related to some of the characters to know more about them} Ah, and for some problems with English V.A, the newest trailers are in majority if not all of them in Japanese, but all them have English official sub, even this trailers too haha
feixiao was just released a month ago so i dont she's having a rerun soon maybe jade rerun is in january or february or maybe march firefly will be sometime in december robin just had her rerun together with feixao so maybe it will take a while, but her brother will be released in dec 3 blackswan and jingliu might be for next year because a new planet will be introduced maybe for january
Just to clear up we in social media never ship MC with Kafka becoz the whole game calls Kafka as the mother of MC You will understand after you play the game we never ship them xD
@@GenuisSocietyNo83Herta huh, I thought all the Kafka fans on social media shipped them, especially when she sends the MC a Pic of her cleavage in her own character story, as well as after the one moment in the animated trailer for the concert when she sent even more selfies in her new dress to the MC.
I could tell from your first few reactions that you would love Blade 😄 I think you might enjoy his story with Dan Heng. HSR is heavily story based so if you like R1999 I suggest trying it!
All of the characters after seelie were limited and don't worry about not getting them. They give u enough jades to get them(I've gotten most of the characters while being f2p). Also the past characters get a rerun alongside newer characters so you'll just have to wait for the character u want
It's so interesting and scary to see everyone mentioning how all these characters are limited I am so used to Path to Nowhere and Reverse 1999 styles where they release a limited character during half and full anniversaries. But happy to see that you can get them being a f2p!
@@AutumnsJourney Seele is one of my favorite characters, my top 5 are: 1. ??? (You will learn the name of the silver haired girl in Seele's trailer in game). 2. Firefly 3. Seele, 4. March and 5. ??? (You will again figure out the red haired girls name in HuoHuo's trailer in game) You notice how most of my favorite characters in the game are female? Well thats because I personally find the female characters more interesting BUT you could always be the opposite and that's fine
Maybe one day! I don't want to get overwhelmed by too many games at the same time, haha I prefer immersing myself in the games first, getting to know the world, understanding the characters, and forming a solid opinion/feeling before checking out another one
This is honestly shocking news to me. I have never ever seen this in other gacha games. Is this unique to Honkai Star Rail or do other games from the same company follow a similar/same approach? 🤔
@AutumnsJourney in another game called Genshin Impact also this company it's basically the same thing. There's like a few standard characters (less than 10 currently) and the rest of the 5* characters are limited. So yeah it's like the opposite of Path to nowhere, more limited characters than permanent or standard characters.
If you would like, we can introduce you to Arknights. It has plenty of media in its official channel, and not everything are trailers. Its world is vast, the same with its music, making sure that you don't get bored watching them all.
I will definitely check out Arknights at some point I'm cautious about playing too many gacha games, because I don't want to feel overwhelmed. For now, I'm focused on immersing myself in the current game before trying anything else
Wait, what? Only the three of us are fans of Jade? I actually can't believe it! I honestly didn't see that coming. I mean, just look at her! A QUEEN RIGHT THERE
I don't really like her because I'm not into the stepping on people thing, but I will still defend her right to commit women's wrongs, she doesn't deserve all the hate lol
Yeah they super flashy so i don't like that in HSR demos , in Genshin demos more chill without tripping (i would like to Genshin demos reaction too), also ZZZ demos very good

Genshin too for Kinich and collected miscellany. But I think we have good news that strike has ended today or something
@@aliwi3476 That would be amazing! I have been missing the english trailers
Hey, now is a great time to start the game. The current banners are Acheron and Aventurine. Acheron is one of the most powerful dps and Aventurine is one of the best tank supports.
"THE" best tank support😂
@@fugosfork7907 There's still Fu Xuan as an alternative.
@@nobblkpraetorian5623 a much worse alternative sure, just like gepard
@@fugosfork7907 She's not that bad actually, much better than Gepard. Has a small team heal, damage reduction, Crit rate buff and guaranteed debuff resist.
@nobblkpraetorian5623 i didnt say she was worse than gepard, don't fight yourself
Aventurine: "Side event fun".... Oh Lord, you're not ready XD
I had the same thought.... side event.... suuuuure =w=
lmaoo.. yeahhh...... but hey that means the trailer did it's job, not everything is as it seems :)
I see new HSR trailer reaction and my happiness just reach through the roof

' IGNORE MY USERNAME '
the username lmao (I agree tho)
i am dying at the 'ignore my username' lmaooo [and then the pfp being actual dog peppy??? noooo]
The 'side event fun' when he saw Aventurine's trailer omg, dude's in for one hell of a ride with one of the main characters of the story
38:30 Every character you saw from Seele onwards, is a limited character.
Don't be fooled by the goofy bois. They seem like they could be in a filler story but they're important characters. Yes even Argenti
i just found out a few days ago argenti has a tragic backstory too and was like... wtf lol
Jing Liu is amalee
Jing Yuan voice is Cy yu
My 2 favorite duo xD
I love their character and their vtuber
Commenting as I watch :)

-Robin is a darling. Would you believe me if I said her whole kit is about singing
There are no inherently good or evil character, they can all be either or just be morally grey.
I would highly recommend reacting to the HSR animated shorts. They are really high production value and tell some neat stories.
WOOOOO HSR!!! ur gonna enjoy the game!! there is quite alot ^^
I can't wait to try the game
I would say all the characters seen here are part of the main story, each having their important part to play. Some have only appeared for a short amount and will likely get story continuence later.

By the way, in chinese the letter « Q » is pronunced « like TCH » in chocolate (english)

Wow! That's very cool

- Myriad Celestia trailers {a group of more videos more related to some of the characters to know more about them}

Try to watch the "Celestial trailers" or "Short Animations"
You will see a peak some of their stories, a little bit I think. :>
My God, has nobody pointed out the biggest mistaken lore?
That is coffee in Himeko's cup, not tea.
would be awesome if you will try the game, stream with vods it or just make gameplay videos, anything will do it
lengths of the trailers on the timeline be like - - - - -- -- -- -- --- --- --- --- ---- ---- ----- ------
i would love u streaming star rail
In that case I will definitely stream it
idk if it was said or if you already knew it but just to be on the safe side i hope you know the combat is turned based
Don't worry I know! I'm a HSR player myself now, haha. But thanks for letting me know
Check out the HI3rd animated shorts and trailers. Especially with the upcoming collab
I really want to watch you play this game
love your model
