The fact that Welt went through the loss of Himeko in HI3 and then spends every day with her in this universe has to be bittersweet. On one hand, he’s reminded of his loss and on the other, he has another chance to be with her
if you inspect the broken blade in this video, it has a dialogue but when u inspect it with himeko, it has a special dialogue saying "you her someone sobbing, someone yelling, and someone mourning wordlessly. Finally someone whispers... she was reborn in the fire. She was smiling in the fire". I think the one sobbing, yelling and mourning wordlessly could potentially be welt when he first saw himeko in this world or smt? Also there is no way that this sword isn't himeko from hi3 bc why would there be a special dialogue for her specifically. This would mean that himeko's sword somehow entered the universe of honkai star rail just like how welt entered...
@@Quantum1244 but the person sobbing has to be in the world of hsr. Kiana isn’t in hsr so it’s probably welt especially since he is with Himeko in the astral express
@@Ei_Shogunit's most likely just an easter egg considering it's in the same room as the genshin gliders and the stack of cards which I think are a reference to Tears of Themis
Seeing that this new himeko is the personification of some of the dreams and aspirations of the 3rd himeko hurts a lot when you think about it, even her outfit is similar to a wedding one
Fun fact, if u seen the ggz dlc(future timeline one), u see that himeko(and seele) were killed by Mei So himeko’s already been killed by kiana and mei but not bronya yet so I’m wondering if it’ll happen here in hsr
It's weird having Bronya's, Seele's, Li Sushang's, Himeko's and Natasha's (Raven), Otto's, Yanqing's (appears as a disciple of Fu Hua) and Cocolia's counterparts in the Honkai Star Rail universe when Welt (and maybe Silverwolf Bronie) is literally the same character from HI3 😂
There's other one that we may think she's not originally from HSR universe too, Silver Wolf, If we read her description, we will think that Silver Wolf and Bronie are same person. I think at some point after travel to some universe, she join Stellaron Hunter bcuz she can travel universe while also hunt stellaron. But it just theory since not enough proof than Welt Yang.
FUN FACT: If you see seele's ult, you can actually see her eyes turn, from blue to red. "maybe thats part of the reason why her face is zoomed in, in her ult" Not just to show her going fast, but also a hint of reference to seele in Honkai impact.
@@angie5690 Her body matured accordingly, in HI3 Seele's body got stuck in stasis mode because of Project X (presumably) so she'll stay a child body-wise, kinda like Theresa, but in HSR she grew up as she should've
Not so much, the story of genshin has declined A LOT since its launch, so I end up not even caring about the references to genshin, the ones to honkai have already brought a few tears
As a Genshin player only, I can confirm that I have been merrily skipping along through the wacky world of Star Rail completely oblivious to the emotional trauma around me!
meanwhile its 2048, and genshin is on ver 102.6 with the 10212th region festival storyline with just vague hints that the story "will get darker" defiintely, at some point, it will happen guys, the character you love will definitely die...
My god, Otto...I never know why but seeing him again just hits so hard in the feels man. I miss him, despite everything. His sendoff...still feel the pain, the chills, just the overall bittersweet ending it was
I am incredibly jealous of people who have been familiar with "Honkai Impact 3rd" for a long time. For them, "Star Rail" is perceived really differently than for me, a beginner who sees all these characters for the first time. For the sake of interest, I even checked why everyone reacts so strongly to Himeko... now tears come to my own eyes when I see her in the carriage... "Star Rail" is a new beginning, long-existing characters, and I can't describe it with anything other than "Amazing".
To all kanchous playing Honkai Star Rail I'm begging you all to protect Himeko at all costs; we can't lose her again. Edit: Holy freak my first 1k likes! Ty guyssssss
She's my first five star as a HSR and Genshin player, I don't know how precious she is but i will treasure her and protect her till the end for the captains ❤
Idk why i cry when i see otto again man, i know he's bad and all that but like all the thing he do is for kallen its just nghhh, And btw what if inside of otto(luocha) coffin is this universe kallen body? 🤯🤯
@@KirariLuck I remember when I met Luocha in te game, his name isn’t exactly Luocha. He confirmed his name is difficult to pronounce by people, so he goes by Luocha. Who knows what his real name goes by?
Fun fact: In the genshin wings room there is also himeko sword, if you use himeko to interact with it then it will show a special text. "She was reborn in the fire. She was smiling in the fire." we all know who is it talking about..right?
Otto : Depresion (I cried more at his death than Himeko's death 💀) Luocha : He litteraly carry a coffin with him Ayato : **slurping boba tea sound intensify**
There's also a high-chance that the sword bits you see in HSR came from Himeko's sword, since the only fragment they recovered was the hilt that Kiana uses (the rest of the sword fragments you see in the funeral cutscene were replicas). Also, if you interact with the sword bits with Himeko, you get different dialogue.
It could be "just" an easter egg but God do I hope it's canon and has deeper role for the plot later on. We have our closure in Honkai chapter 25 but any chance to know more of what happened to Himeko is a chance I'm taking.
I honestly love how much similarity there is between all three games with the characters. It makes it to where whether you're coming from HI3 or Genshin, you're recognizing these characters and what they are may be like. Gives more connection from the start.
@@0kaiKai A lot of the Genshin ones are kind of stretchy. Dan Heng kinda reminds me of a less edgy Xiao between design and personality, Bailu gives me Diona vibes, stuff like that. But I personally love the MC for Star Rail. I spend as much time laughing along with the game as I do playing it.
@@freedragoons so every male in green clothes with a sper is Xiao now, that's sad. Bailu has nothing to do with Diona/Qiqi nor appearance nor personality wise. Bronya's personality is different from Bronya from HI3. and Seele's is opposite to Seele. Only Silver Wolf resembles Bronya somewhat. May be she's also from HI3's Earth like Welt and Void Archives.
As a Genshin player, HSR punched me countless time in the guts with it's main stories and side quest. I was used to Paimon ruining any emotional scene abd side quest being boring stuff ! I wasn't prepared for Discrimination, Segregation, Class Struggle, Misery, Poverty, Human experimentation, child abuse, Minor manipulation, brainwashing, etc... TwT
Genshin Player here, but most of the time, i'm just like..."Oh no, so sad", or "Awesome...", or sometimes scream with the characters...or laugh at donuts I've had some dark or depressing shows while i was Elementary, and they no longer matter that much to me... I was more "Awesome..." on the "most depressing" moment of HI3, too amazed by Himeko's determination
Genshin player here.... you might have missed the same in Genshin: starving orphans everywhere, slavery, human sperimentation, human trafficking... Genshin is darker than it seems, although so far it didn't deliver punches in plain sight.
@RejectedInch the thing is people know genshin has that but everyone ends up not caring when the 40h quest could've been 1h if paimon and NPC's didn't repeat or say unnecessary things 24/7 instead of using the basic SHOW not TELL.
@@mtheroes3296in Fountain they seem to focus more on actual characters and Traveller instead of Paimon. They definitely improving their writing albeit slowly.
I swear to god, when I saw the Otto of this game slide into my story I decided I'll be hard pulling for the guy when he drops and try to work him into almost all my teams.
Hi im kinda new to the hoyo verse. The blond guy story looks great where is it from? (The cinematic one) is it from genshin? Honkai3rd? What is the name of the character? Would you kindly tell me please!!
@@hypocritelife8018 Hi! He is called Otto Apocalypse, he was the main villain for Honkai Impact 3rd some time ago. I encourage you to play it, otto is one of the greatest villains ever!!! Although, in Starrail he is called Loucha, so he is not otto, or at least we don't know ^^
Characters aside, the Curios storage room is the one massive differentiator. Genshin players find the wings and are like "oh cool easter egg". Honkai players find the sword fragments and start weeping uncontrollably (especially when you examine it with Himeko for extra lines - couldn't help yourselves huh Hoyo).
My whole reason to play Honkai Star Rail was to finally have Honkai males playable, since the CN fandom didn't want them in HI3rd (And Himeko alive again
It was never the CN fandom lmao I've never heard anyone say that before. It was determined right from the start of the games cus all playable characters are called valkyries, and male valkyries aren't a thing
Wait no. At the beginning Hi3rd was created by a team of otakus who also made Honkai Gakuen, a game where “underwear” was used as leveling materials and all female characters had line that literally “seduces” the player. So the target players, also the very first players of Mihoyo games, were always otakus who prefer to see more erotic female characters - until the point when mihoyo’s business went big and some new players asks for male playable characters in Hi3rd. A request that of course got rejected by the majority of otaku-rooted community. At least not in Hi3rd where all playable characters are supposed to be “valkyries”. So there are now playable male characters in Genshin Impact and HSR. Well you may heard some in CN community still don’t like male characters in these games - it’s not the whole case. There are certain male characters whose fan bases are extremely toxic to a point which they 1) verbally attacks other players who claims to have a favourite female character; 2) illegally obtaining other players’ real-life info including home address and residence ID to threaten them; 3) repetitively report the game to the gov to remove any “improper clothing” of female characters (previous CN server outfit change as a result); 4) being unprofessional as some of them actually get to work in mihoyo but screw up the plot only to make their favourite male character look more outstanding or to promote a BL unofficial couple; 5) having conflicts even within themselves. And CN community has been very sick of them - along with their favourite characters.
Man I'm a Genshin player and seeing the Honkai animations and music, I realize Hoyo's really playing favourites lol... Can only dream of a day the Genshin story will reach this level of badass action...
I'm not sure if you want to get Genshin to be like Honkai Impact... In Honkai's second anniversary they killed Himeko, a playable and lovable character and Hua (another playable character) got shot in the head💀 That's why they started doing amazing animations (to minimize the pain we felt) because after that chapter started the depression (every chapter was depressing after that)😔
@@nemubenzene9138 I love heavier and depressing stories. Gachas thrive on their characters and how invested in the world we are, but most are too scared to alienate their fanbases and end up doing nothing with all those characters, no character arc, no resolution, no change in their status quo. If the Honkai story properly sets up characters, give them actual arcs and make their choices matter in the scenario, I'd take it anyday over the 10th Genshin story quest where literally nothing happens except now we know the new character's favorite food.
Genshin is basically just another bubble Universe. and the bubble universe concept was 1st shown in the honkai manga and the game. So it's pretty understandable how people who started with Genshin 1st don't really get many of the references even on Genshin in itself where some of the Archons are basically the bubble universe counterparts of HI3 characters. For example, the goddess that you encounter in the intro of the game is basically like a counterpart to Herrscher of the Void, or Raiden Shogun, with Honkai's Raiden Mei. It's not about favorites, I think it's about where it all started, and to a lot of Honkai Impact main players, Honkai Star Rail is like a trip down to memory lane and Mihoyo did a good job at it. I suggest playing HI3 and go through the story. There's so much flavor and emotion in it compared to Genshin. So much art, the music, the feels, that people literally cry almost every chapter. It's not too late to begin. Also it has many fun and cute events. Even has their own dorm where you can assign the girls different rooms in their chibi mode, and you can decorate freely
@@nemubenzene9138 i legit just sat there looking blankly at the screen for like 5 minutes after hearing Canon in D, honestly pretty cool that the same song they used for the end of a story is now used to start another, truly a finality moment
Now that I think about it, March 7th and Elysia have a lot in common. Pink hair, upbeat personality, mysterious past, ice damage, doesn’t lie a lot but has at least once, bow Even March 7th’s 6 phased ice has a lot of similarities in looks to Herrscher of Human:Ego’s ice. I feel like March’s past will probably end up being something huge, just based on that.
For anyone who said this is literally genshin in space without giving Honkai impact 3rd some respect, you all need to watch this 😂 the only thing look like GI is the graphic, UI, gacha and artifact system, that’s a lot but not ALL 🥴 characters, story, its name, quantum, imaginary, universe are Honkai’s
March has the perfect setup for a depressing story, a character that knows nothing of their past, and basically having endless possibilities **please don’t take my bubble girl away from me mihoyo I swear **
That would basically be doing Kiana again, throw in the original end of the Flamchasers for flavor. I'm hoping they don't try to do the same thing they did with the HI3 story 'cause I can only take so many emotional gut punches before the effect of those scenes wears out.
I wouldn't be surprised if she was related to This world's version of Elysia and/or Kiana. I agree. Her positive personality can be so easily contrasted by a tragic story down the road. ... I mean, look at what happened to Kiana...
It’s cute Luocha’s accompanying Sushang, they are a good duo just as good as Otto/Kallen. Hope they have a safe and fun journey this time around. Can’t wait when Welt meets Dan Heng/Luocha and his PTSD activates. Would be funny if one moment he’s like. Welt: “Luocha, if you don’t mind me prying, what is in that box of yours?” Luocha: “Oh this? this.. this is the resting place of my dearest frien-“ Welt: “Stop right there, I understand.” *Welt said abruptly and led Himeko away.* It would genuinely be a shame if Mihoyo does the meeting off-screen or never mention it at all. ps: There were numerous hints dropped about Sushang’s close relationship with Otto, I wouldn’t say they were romantic interests but more like best friends, she was amongst the ones who genuinely cared for the guy despite all he’s done. Ch26 even starts out with her regret about not being able to help him. Such a cheerful and bubbly character being weighed down by a tragic companion makes her story tragic aswell. It’s also interesting how closely she mirrors Kallen minus the obsession with Justice part which is part of why I think they make such a good duo on par with Otto/Kallen.
if you noticed, from the start game Kafka was playing the violin which is exactly similar to when Kiana left her friends to go on the train in the last animation. Damnit hoyo know how to hurt honkai players feeling T-T
Bruh how can you realize that? I reroll for 3 account, I didn't realize it at all Edit I am very suprise and really appreciate how you can tell from the scene man 👏
Honkai starrail is basically a train that goes beyond time and history, reminding hoyofans of all the good and bad times in hoyoverse. They really gave us a hell of a ride. Both the developers and players have come a long long way. Their stories are all tied closely to our hearts. Especially himeko's death in honkai impact. Really looking forward to what the developers have installed for us.
As a veteran Captain, my sole reason for even playing Star Rail is for the chance to see my wife Himeko alive again. Yes, this is a massive cope, but since Hoyo refuses to include her in any side events and I don't see any more content of her being added in the future, this will have to do. it pains me greatly, but also fills me with joy, I have been waiting for the game release ever since chapter 25. now, the real question is: *will we Himeko fans survive a third strike?*
you have to remember that this is a honkai game... all honkai games so far has been... (PTSD flashbacks) ... depressing. If there's one thing Honkai has taught me, it's that family is always the ones that becomes separated and breaks apart, just like how Cecelia died in Hi3rd, and how Kiana has went through constant pain and suffering throughout the entire game. Since March 7 is the face of the game, just like how Kiana is the face of Hi3rd.... it's normal to expect similar or close to similar outcome. And besides genshin is not too far off in that department either, even if it seems like a happy-go-lucky game, the story of genshin so far has actually been giving hints of a upcoming heartbreaking revelation, for exmaple what if our twin is already dead and their body is merely a host to something much more darker? We already technically know that the sky of tevyat is fake and that there are hints that the world of tevyat is in a constant "endless cycle of a samsara" in other words, a "world" that is constantly being rerolled once it's reaches a certain point, proceeding to erase the memories of all individuals within said "world", which is why nobody remembers it or notices that there's something fishy going on, as to them "nothing has happened" and "everything is normal". This is because the "world" of tevyat is resetting everything and restarting the cycle anew. In a summary, genshin might be much darker than we realize. That's why I'm not gonna bring my hopes up for a happy story or ending for honkai star rail either. At this point, I've come to expect the worst.
@@Izbiski_ STILL AT LEAST CONNECT TO ANY RAIDEN IS GOOD ENOUGH Plus if Mei or Raiden character is released we all know she's a lightning type DPS And probably uses The Hunt and will specialized in single DPS
As a Honkai Impact player I'm being honest about crying when I saw Himeko still alive in Honkai Star Rail. The moment when I played The Final Lesson chapter until Kiana Herrscher Of Flame chapter, I cried a lot plus their soundtracks was epic made me can't hold my tears and goosebumps all the way. Thank you Mihoyo for these masterpieces ❤
I panicked on the intro scene, hear me out: a dragon it's attacking the shield of a ship and there's Himeko to protect it. It's...so similar to the day we lost her
Welt has a voicelines for Himeko that shows how fond he is of her. Also shows that one of his biggest regrets is how he was partially responsible for what happened to his Himeko. Hope they get more spotlight in story down the line
Playing both honkai impact and genshin impact, i go “nice reference” While balling my eyes out. I literally almost sobbed when i saw himeko, dont die again damn it. I dont think i can handle a second death scene.
I play both... and legit I accidentally found that room and when I saw the Genshin wings I went 'woooaa I know wht this is 😂' to seeing Himeko's sword 'I know what this is... 😭'
EXCELLENT edit- I also play Genshin, but as a Honkai player I'm having so much fun with this game. I'm still in the early part of the first planet because I can't stop exploring and talking with everyone AND everything (I'm the queen of the trash, lmao)-
Thank you! I downloaded like 2 GB worth of videos and songs just for this short video!☺️ And I always do story first then explore, but since I ended every single mission I had, I'm exploring to get to lvl 30 to continue with the story😭
@@nemubenzene9138 There are some things (dialogues, small events, funny stuff) that you can't do once you progress on the story- (I was told you can find a The Shining reference on the Hotel before Cocolia tried to arrest you)-
I'm on the third map rn. Getting the material for level 50 characters starts to be annoying a bit. Did all the chests and Easter eggs on the space station and javiro. Now I gotta do the same on Honkai Liyue. (Got Gepard and Seele too, I got lucky. Except when trying to pull Seele's light cone I instead got welt and himako's 5 star light cone even though Seele's light cone is supposed to have a boosted chance.)
1:03 i felt chills when that theme played, man im both a genshin (started on april 2021) and a honkai player (started on june 2021 but went into a lot of hiatus because i didnt understand the game, and i started focusing last june 2022, so ive been playing gneshin longer) but being the honkai player in this hits much more different. i didnt even realize the similarity of bailu with qiqi and dan heng with xiao. at first, i just thought march and dan heng were like the equivalent of kaeya and amber in hsr. it shows how honkai has more impact than genshin for me lmao
As a Honkai Player, Star Rail hits deep. Though, all the character comparisons can really be overboard sometimes. I may adore Honkai more, but Genshin got a few characters I vibe with too, I like seeing them as their own. Instead of compare any character that maybe has like one similiar feature. miHoYo has sooo many characters and they're still making more. It's only natural.
As someone who played both honestly I was hit more by the HI3 throwbacks, which should have been obvious since it’s in a Honkai multiverse. I saw the sword in the first hour and immediate EMOTIONAL DAMAGE
Wow as someone who only played genshin, I guess I should prepare for HSR to get really depressing. Like genshin had its moments of depressing sure, but it seems like HI3 was constant depression
I... am very conflicted... I absolutely adore Elysia, as pure as she was, the Herrscher of Humanity, she wished nothing but beauty for Humanity... I need to find a way to use March properly, because it really does feel like she might be a reincarnation of Elysia(especially with her story about the 6phased ice, just, gives me a bit of a feeling that she might be way more than we expect)... yet it's amazing to see Natasha in good shape for once too... she may have become a cynical killer in HI3(even though she still has kindness that she shows to some...), she got a new lease on life in this universe... and of course, Aunty Himeko... the collective emotional trauma of the HI3 playerbase... (didn't get her nor Bronya nor Welt, which are the 3 I want most for obvious reasons, because Gepard and the ice shota wanted to have a word instead...), and Bronya, oh Bronya, she's always seemed like she would do well as a leader... Seele's all grown up too, as caring yet dangerous as ever... Welt is still just... I mean... It's Welt. Space Uncle. Happy to see him. I hope Tesla makes it into this game, or even Joey... and Bronie, I mean, didn't expect her of all people, but definitely welcome... and sorry to say, but I wanna kick Otto in the sack, a lot of times... like a lot. And then be sad that I hate him because his irrationality and absolute dedication to the one he loves, willing to destroy *anything* to reunite with her, reminds me of myself... and then pull out my wallet to get him... who the hell do I main?! That's not even taking account the new folks! Clara is the most wholesome little nugget, Svarog is Wotan but someone gave him drip and it set him from 90% completion to 100%(also did anyone notice that the giant machine of creation kiiiinda looks like AE style mechs? Idk, just thought I spotted a good few similarities), Kafka makes me want to say "mommy?" 1000 times as well... and Herta being a spinning top is both hilarious and incredibly strong, and I love her little doll joints, such a cool touch to her being a "Herta remote control puppet"
@@colehan5663Clara looks like illya from fate but svarog is not a berserk class of a Greek chara . Well I guess if robot could have aeon of intelligence, then it could compete with the Greek pantheon\genzone but aeon is based on something else not mythology idk what is HoTE is even based on in ggz
a fun little Easter egg my sister found is that interacting with Himeko's broken great sword while using Himeko gets a special dialogue! she didn't know what it was so she asked me about it. let's just say it was like pouring a spoon of salt over an open wound.
I dont have hi3 knowledge but i love seeing the game discussion The fact Himeko is playable and yet she finally able to travel among stars instead of becoming Valkery is already enough to make tear bending among og players
Some of the characters reminds me of the stigmata character arts and the elf support characters. Genshin players: sees Himeko "look it's Diluk as a waifu!" Honkai fans: sees Himeko 1:49
Natasha was my favorite in impact 3, I'm a little bit sad that they change her role in star rail, BUT after finishing her side story in star rail, i fell in love with her for the 2nd time
To be honest Natasha in HSR looks like she made taking care of kids and orphanage ect her main job meanwhile Raven in HI3rd does the same, in nagazora, she sheltered the abandoned kids which is quite similar
Playing Star Rail has brought back so many memories of HI3, and it’s amazing that we get to see new versions of old characters like Bronya and Seele. Personally though I can’t wait to get a playable Otto
Honkai truly is just such a hidden gem. I'm so proud to have been a part of it for the past 5 years. Genshin is fantastic, but Honkai has my heartstrings. As you can all see, it's epic. It's always a rollercoaster. You laugh, you'll definitely cry, and you'll definitely want more. There's just so much story to these characters that non captains truly just won't appreciate. I'm a Honkai captain, and I lost my 50/50 to Bronya before I acquired Seele. I'm waiting for them to give us a connection to HI3 and Star Rail. There's so many bubble universes that Star Rail seems to just be a whole alternative experience with characters we already love, minus any Honkai, which alone makes for a whole new experience. Genshin is now the money maker, but Honkai will always be the first love of Mihoyo/Hoyoverse. It's always clear when the arcs end and you see the shorts that you saw just now. It's endearing. You will feel things for these queens because they put them through hell the WHOLE time. An evil man whose only goal is to bring back one woman. Warriors alive for 50,000 years dealing with the psychological breaks of millenia of betrayal and pain. Heros, who aren't heroes but show up. This is why we stay captains.
Yea same I've only played Honkai for 3-ish years and took a few breaks and a pretty big one in-between but I just love the story and the chars as well and Himeko's death put me into a depression spiral
@@Lovecraftian3 ah yes. Genshin is way popular, a lot of children like it. But honkai recieve a lot of love and money from developers. Quality of characters just on another lvl. Look and dendro kequing and dead dehya, they forgot about genshin.
@@Lovecraftian3 hoyo don't care about genshin. Almost every 4* character is just bad, and unplayeble. New 5* just a joke compare to badass mechanics of newer honkai chads. They know genshin make a lot of money,but the know they love honkai more. You are a kid, who tries to defend genshin. Honkai is about quality and love to the project. Genshin about money and careless behavior
Yeah i cried seeing Himeko smiling in HSR…its like meeting an old friend you lost… I just got Himeko!!!! She’s gonna work well with Bronya and Seele…looks like im your Captain again…welcome back girls! I’ve missed you guys 😭 Team Valkyrie lets go!!!
It's not only the sadness of every character I see in this game. I'm sad because I never got the chance to pull them when I played HI. I'm only going through the story stages with Rozaliya. And that's also pain.
How do you hate lgbt But honkai impact has a lot of lesbians and bisexuals (yae sakura, Elysia, Kiana, Raiden mei, seele, Bronya, And Himeko and more)?
About March 7th and Elysia, the could actually be a connection considering that not even March knows where she comes from, who were her parents, or even her own name, other than her personality and what we know from her time in the astral express, she is still a blank page, ready to be filled with a great story
Or…. The Kiana storyfication….. Who know? I mean she is super energetic, chilling, and a bit dumb, just like the Kiana on the first arc….. Oh god it is a Mihoyo game and also in the Honkai series
Lol that tall xiao comment killed me! I've seen a lot of hsr video in Eng dub and feels so strange everyone talking Eng and so use too either hearing the Jp dub or rarely the Cn dub... Welt sounds exactly what I imagine him speaking eng
Genshin players don't know the depression and pain we kanchous went through in the apocalyptic world. Playing HSR is as painful as playing HI3 again bc you see the some of the resemblance of the characters especially himeko
Meanwhile that fight scene with the guardian with the vocals and guitar riffs playing out on the 2nd half just reminds mi of oaths or oracle from APHO. Hoyomix really knows how to set up the stage with some banger OSTs
I've been playing honkai impact recently and holy shit i regret playing hsr before honkai impact The impact of not knowing the death of himeko would've made me cry on that scene

@@Shin-gn7ng Nah, this Bronya won’t, although maybe Bronnie could.
@@WhiteWomanSlasher I wanna see a captain of HI3 cameo. Maybe in a story bit with bronie.
@@GreenSpyrocaptain is high dimensional entity. So he could be on par or slight weaker than aeon.
It's weird having Bronya's, Seele's, Li Sushang's, Himeko's and Natasha's (Raven), Otto's, Yanqing's (appears as a disciple of Fu Hua) and Cocolia's counterparts in the Honkai Star Rail universe when Welt (and maybe Silverwolf Bronie) is literally the same character from HI3 😂
There's other one that we may think she's not originally from HSR universe too, Silver Wolf, If we read her description, we will think that Silver Wolf and Bronie are same person. I think at some point after travel to some universe, she join Stellaron Hunter bcuz she can travel universe while also hunt stellaron. But it just theory since not enough proof than Welt Yang.

There's also a high-chance that the sword bits you see in HSR came from Himeko's sword, since the only fragment they recovered was the hilt that Kiana uses (the rest of the sword fragments you see in the funeral cutscene were replicas). Also, if you interact with the sword bits with Himeko, you get different dialogue.

It seems that Honkai Star Rail is a future further ahead than Genshin and Honkai Impact. Travelers and members of Genshin are members of Star Chaser.
I honestly love how much similarity there is between all three games with the characters. It makes it to where whether you're coming from HI3 or Genshin, you're recognizing these characters and what they are may be like. Gives more connection from the start.

As a Genshin player, HSR punched me countless time in the guts with it's main stories and side quest.
I was used to Paimon ruining any emotional scene abd side quest being boring stuff !
I wasn't prepared for Discrimination, Segregation, Class Struggle, Misery, Poverty, Human experimentation, child abuse, Minor manipulation, brainwashing, etc... TwT
And as a Honkai player, in those "sad" moments I was always like "oh no...anyways☺️"
I'm immune to that, it's like a child's play for me
Genshin Player here, but most of the time, i'm just like..."Oh no, so sad", or "Awesome...", or sometimes scream with the characters...or laugh at donuts
I've had some dark or depressing shows while i was Elementary, and they no longer matter that much to me...
I was more "Awesome..." on the "most depressing" moment of HI3, too amazed by Himeko's determination
Genshin player here.... you might have missed the same in Genshin: starving orphans everywhere, slavery, human sperimentation, human trafficking... Genshin is darker than it seems, although so far it didn't deliver punches in plain sight.

Characters aside, the Curios storage room is the one massive differentiator. Genshin players find the wings and are like "oh cool easter egg". Honkai players find the sword fragments and start weeping uncontrollably (especially when you examine it with Himeko for extra lines - couldn't help yourselves huh Hoyo).
I really like the difference between Natasha and Raven. One saves lives while the other kills.
But there's some thing won't change her in any universe, her care for children and orphan.

Tbf, both care about orphans so theres that.
She became what she always wanted to be
My whole reason to play Honkai Star Rail was to finally have Honkai males playable, since the CN fandom didn't want them in HI3rd (And Himeko alive again
SAME now I speedran HSR so fast that I went burnout from HSR💀
Poor Adam, he should have been a playable character in HSR.
SAME BRO i lost my shit everytime i pulled a 5 star, my team is now seele, bronya, welt and nat, i even named the team honkai crew
It was never the CN fandom lmao I've never heard anyone say that before. It was determined right from the start of the games cus all playable characters are called valkyries, and male valkyries aren't a thing
Wait no. At the beginning Hi3rd was created by a team of otakus who also made Honkai Gakuen, a game where “underwear” was used as leveling materials and all female characters had line that literally “seduces” the player. So the target players, also the very first players of Mihoyo games, were always otakus who prefer to see more erotic female characters - until the point when mihoyo’s business went big and some new players asks for male playable characters in Hi3rd. A request that of course got rejected by the majority of otaku-rooted community. At least not in Hi3rd where all playable characters are supposed to be “valkyries”.
So there are now playable male characters in Genshin Impact and HSR. Well you may heard some in CN community still don’t like male characters in these games - it’s not the whole case. There are certain male characters whose fan bases are extremely toxic to a point which they 1) verbally attacks other players who claims to have a favourite female character; 2) illegally obtaining other players’ real-life info including home address and residence ID to threaten them; 3) repetitively report the game to the gov to remove any “improper clothing” of female characters (previous CN server outfit change as a result); 4) being unprofessional as some of them actually get to work in mihoyo but screw up the plot only to make their favourite male character look more outstanding or to promote a BL unofficial couple; 5) having conflicts even within themselves. And CN community has been very sick of them - along with their favourite characters.
Man I'm a Genshin player and seeing the Honkai animations and music, I realize Hoyo's really playing favourites lol... Can only dream of a day the Genshin story will reach this level of badass action...
I'm not sure if you want to get Genshin to be like Honkai Impact...
In Honkai's second anniversary they killed Himeko, a playable and lovable character and Hua (another playable character) got shot in the head💀
That's why they started doing amazing animations (to minimize the pain we felt) because after that chapter started the depression (every chapter was depressing after that)😔
@@nemubenzene9138 I love heavier and depressing stories. Gachas thrive on their characters and how invested in the world we are, but most are too scared to alienate their fanbases and end up doing nothing with all those characters, no character arc, no resolution, no change in their status quo. If the Honkai story properly sets up characters, give them actual arcs and make their choices matter in the scenario, I'd take it anyday over the 10th Genshin story quest where literally nothing happens except now we know the new character's favorite food.
Ikr! After playing HSR it just hit me that genshin felt like their middle child lmao
Genshin is basically just another bubble Universe. and the bubble universe concept was 1st shown in the honkai manga and the game. So it's pretty understandable how people who started with Genshin 1st don't really get many of the references even on Genshin in itself where some of the Archons are basically the bubble universe counterparts of HI3 characters. For example, the goddess that you encounter in the intro of the game is basically like a counterpart to Herrscher of the Void, or Raiden Shogun, with Honkai's Raiden Mei. It's not about favorites, I think it's about where it all started, and to a lot of Honkai Impact main players, Honkai Star Rail is like a trip down to memory lane and Mihoyo did a good job at it. I suggest playing HI3 and go through the story. There's so much flavor and emotion in it compared to Genshin. So much art, the music, the feels, that people literally cry almost every chapter. It's not too late to begin. Also it has many fun and cute events. Even has their own dorm where you can assign the girls different rooms in their chibi mode, and you can decorate freely
come on. I'm not saying genshin is perfect but it's a pretty nice game in itself. soon to have an anime too from Ufotable. that's pretty cool, right?

So is Trailblazer
I wouldn't be surprised if she was related to This world's version of Elysia and/or Kiana.

Her positive personality can be so easily contrasted by a tragic story down the road.
... I mean, look at what happened to Kiana...
HI3 players: Himeko...you're as beautiful as the day I lost you...
It’s cute Luocha’s accompanying Sushang, they are a good duo just as good as Otto/Kallen. Hope they have a safe and fun journey this time around. Can’t wait when Welt meets Dan Heng/Luocha and his PTSD activates. Would be funny if one moment he’s like.
Welt: “Luocha, if you don’t mind me prying, what is in that box of yours?”
Luocha: “Oh this? this.. this is the resting place of my dearest frien-“
Welt: “Stop right there, I understand.” *Welt said abruptly and led Himeko away.*
It would genuinely be a shame if Mihoyo does the meeting off-screen or never mention it at all.
ps: There were numerous hints dropped about Sushang’s close relationship with Otto, I wouldn’t say they were romantic interests but more like best friends, she was amongst the ones who genuinely cared for the guy despite all he’s done. Ch26 even starts out with her regret about not being able to help him. Such a cheerful and bubbly character being weighed down by a tragic companion makes her story tragic aswell. It’s also interesting how closely she mirrors Kallen minus the obsession with Justice part which is part of why I think they make such a good duo on par with Otto/Kallen.
Sushang liked Otto but he was a focused man, only thinking about his past hero, Kallen.😔
I'm pretty sure Void Archives is also somewhere wreaking havoc
Welt already met up with Luocha and the man literally went 'I can fix him'
Sushang liked Otto because she thought he was a woman lol
Remember that Sushang is a self insert of the HI3 artist....and she is obsessed with Otto.

Honkai starrail is basically a train that goes beyond time and history, reminding hoyofans of all the good and bad times in hoyoverse. They really gave us a hell of a ride. Both the developers and players have come a long long way. Their stories are all tied closely to our hearts. Especially himeko's death in honkai impact.

As a veteran Captain, my sole reason for even playing Star Rail is for the chance to see my wife Himeko alive again. Yes, this is a massive cope, but since Hoyo refuses to include her in any side events and I don't see any more content of her being added in the future, this will have to do. it pains me greatly, but also fills me with joy, I have been waiting for the game release ever since chapter 25. now, the real question is: *will we Himeko fans survive a third strike?*

For real...
I'm so happy to see himeko... Alive... 😭
you have to remember that this is a honkai game... all honkai games so far has been... (PTSD flashbacks) ... depressing. If there's one thing Honkai has taught me, it's that family is always the ones that becomes separated and breaks apart, just like how Cecelia died in Hi3rd, and how Kiana has went through constant pain and suffering throughout the entire game.
Since March 7 is the face of the game, just like how Kiana is the face of Hi3rd.... it's normal to expect similar or close to similar outcome.
And besides genshin is not too far off in that department either, even if it seems like a happy-go-lucky game, the story of genshin so far has actually been giving hints of a upcoming heartbreaking revelation, for exmaple what if our twin is already dead and their body is merely a host to something much more darker? We already technically know that the sky of tevyat is fake and that there are hints that the world of tevyat is in a constant "endless cycle of a samsara" in other words, a "world" that is constantly being rerolled once it's reaches a certain point, proceeding to erase the memories of all individuals within said "world", which is why nobody remembers it or notices that there's something fishy going on, as to them "nothing has happened" and "everything is normal". This is because the "world" of tevyat is resetting everything and restarting the cycle anew. In a summary, genshin might be much darker than we realize.
That's why I'm not gonna bring my hopes up for a happy story or ending for honkai star rail either.
At this point, I've come to expect the worst.

im both a genshin (started on april 2021) and a honkai player (started on june 2021 but went into a lot of hiatus because i didnt understand the game, and i started focusing last june 2022, so ive been playing gneshin longer) but being the honkai player in this hits much more different. i didnt even realize the similarity of bailu with qiqi and dan heng with xiao. at first, i just thought march and dan heng were like the equivalent of kaeya and amber in hsr.
it shows how honkai has more impact than genshin for me lmao
are you me? lmao i started both games on exactly the same date
@@vivacious9530 lmao coincidence
As a Honkai Player, Star Rail hits deep. Though, all the character comparisons can really be overboard sometimes. I may adore Honkai more, but Genshin got a few characters I vibe with too, I like seeing them as their own. Instead of compare any character that maybe has like one similiar feature. miHoYo has sooo many characters and they're still making more. It's only natural.
I took one look at otto and my heart sank. I missed him so much 😭
I went silent the moment I saw Otto again, literally silent and having flashbacks from Thus Spoke Apocalypse 😭
I went to abyss immediately after I saw loucha and send the trio to beat him twice 😂😂
THEY ARE NOT LETTING US BE IN PEACE W HIMEKO😭😭
Like, just let her die once and for all MiHoYo, not coming backs 😭
@@nemubenzene9138no, bring her back is good. I think this is a reincarnation-type of scenario. Pls Let her live in peace ｡ﾟ(ﾟ´Д｀ﾟ)ﾟ｡
@@tirworks7311 fr like if your gonna bring her back at least let her be happy I hope nothing happens w hsr himeko😭
Can't wait to see if Welt ends up randomly bumping into Luocha just to have a OH GOD NO NOT THIS GUY AGAIN moment
It happened lmao
As someone who played both honestly I was hit more by the HI3 throwbacks, which should have been obvious since it’s in a Honkai multiverse.
I saw the sword in the first hour and immediate EMOTIONAL DAMAGE
NO CUZ HONKAI IS CLEARLY THE FAVORITE CHILD THEY REALLY HAD TO HURT US AGAIN
Why couldn't they just do a normal game (different characters too) without traumas about the past😔
@@nemubenzene9138 at least we get to see himeko alive once more :')
@@exhaustsun hopefully
@@exhaustsun Let's see how long that lasts.
@@nemubenzene9138 i mean the tittle is also "honkai", and if you want normal game with different character just wait for zzz
Wow as someone who only played genshin, I guess I should prepare for HSR to get really depressing. Like genshin had its moments of depressing sure, but it seems like HI3 was constant depression
Honkai Impact it's called Depression Impact for a reason, not only for a meme😔
There's actually happiness in HI3 but not without sadness before happiness and after the happiness that crushing it
After what happened to Kiana I thought that I would have some peace of mind, then the next arc happened
can you imagine if the Himeko in HSR shares the same fate in HI3 ? wild isnt it ? hahaha
MIHOYO IM WARNING YOU
Imagine if she Final Lessons Stelle/Caelus💀
She probably gonna sacrifice herself when fighting a boss by ramming the train in the boss and explode.
Hoyo is 2/2 killing off Himeko... I hope the third is the charm *sweats*
@@lokemis 3/3 (ggz, PE HI3rd, CE HI3rd)
I don't wanna imagine dying inside again... We all have an heart we cannot stand that much, it's way too much even for Hoyo isn't it? 😭
Honkai players when see himeko in cutscene: you're as beautiful as in a day I've lost you
I was like that but with Luocha instead, he's as beautiful as the day I lost him😞
don’t you dare die on me again himeko 😭
I... am very conflicted... I absolutely adore Elysia, as pure as she was, the Herrscher of Humanity, she wished nothing but beauty for Humanity... I need to find a way to use March properly, because it really does feel like she might be a reincarnation of Elysia(especially with her story about the 6phased ice, just, gives me a bit of a feeling that she might be way more than we expect)... yet it's amazing to see Natasha in good shape for once too... she may have become a cynical killer in HI3(even though she still has kindness that she shows to some...), she got a new lease on life in this universe... and of course, Aunty Himeko... the collective emotional trauma of the HI3 playerbase... (didn't get her nor Bronya nor Welt, which are the 3 I want most for obvious reasons, because Gepard and the ice shota wanted to have a word instead...), and Bronya, oh Bronya, she's always seemed like she would do well as a leader... Seele's all grown up too, as caring yet dangerous as ever... Welt is still just... I mean... It's Welt. Space Uncle. Happy to see him. I hope Tesla makes it into this game, or even Joey... and Bronie, I mean, didn't expect her of all people, but definitely welcome... and sorry to say, but I wanna kick Otto in the sack, a lot of times... like a lot. And then be sad that I hate him because his irrationality and absolute dedication to the one he loves, willing to destroy *anything* to reunite with her, reminds me of myself... and then pull out my wallet to get him... who the hell do I main?! That's not even taking account the new folks! Clara is the most wholesome little nugget, Svarog is Wotan but someone gave him drip and it set him from 90% completion to 100%(also did anyone notice that the giant machine of creation kiiiinda looks like AE style mechs? Idk, just thought I spotted a good few similarities), Kafka makes me want to say "mommy?" 1000 times as well... and Herta being a spinning top is both hilarious and incredibly strong, and I love her little doll joints, such a cool touch to her being a "Herta remote control puppet"
clara kinda looks like klee
@@colehan5663white haired klee?
@@colehan5663Clara looks like illya from fate but svarog is not a berserk class of a Greek chara . Well I guess if robot could have aeon of intelligence, then it could compete with the Greek pantheon\genzone but aeon is based on something else not mythology idk what is HoTE is even based on in ggz
a fun little Easter egg my sister found is that interacting with Himeko's broken great sword while using Himeko gets a special dialogue! she didn't know what it was so she asked me about it. let's just say it was like pouring a spoon of salt over an open wound.
I dont have hi3 knowledge but i love seeing the game discussion
The fact Himeko is playable and yet she finally able to travel among stars instead of becoming Valkery is already enough to make tear bending among og players
1:04 ngl that part still hit hard :')
Some of the characters reminds me of the stigmata character arts and the elf support characters.
Genshin players: sees Himeko "look it's Diluk as a waifu!"
Honkai fans: sees Himeko 1:49
Genshin player: I love these characters and the reference is very cool.
Honkai players: P A I N
Seeing HImeko alive in Star Rail makes me tear up!! I loved her character in HI3
As a player of both games I approve of this message.
But if they kill off Himeko again I swear to Nanook -
I think if you don't join the express and get the alternative ending she literally dies off screen🥲
@simplyxrainbowcloudGoddamn it’s the kuru kuru pfp.
If they do, the Geneva Convention is gonna be a checklist
@@JavenJC69nanook would be terrified
I want to see Welt go uber-power insane, if Himeko is under threat.... Even though Himeko is mopping the floor up with the baddies.
Natasha was my favorite in impact 3, I'm a little bit sad that they change her role in star rail, BUT after finishing her side story in star rail, i fell in love with her for the 2nd time
To be honest Natasha in HSR looks like she made taking care of kids and orphanage ect her main job meanwhile Raven in HI3rd does the same, in nagazora, she sheltered the abandoned kids which is quite similar
Playing Star Rail has brought back so many memories of HI3, and it’s amazing that we get to see new versions of old characters like Bronya and Seele. Personally though I can’t wait to get a playable Otto
Honkai truly is just such a hidden gem. I'm so proud to have been a part of it for the past 5 years. Genshin is fantastic, but Honkai has my heartstrings. As you can all see, it's epic. It's always a rollercoaster. You laugh, you'll definitely cry, and you'll definitely want more. There's just so much story to these characters that non captains truly just won't appreciate. I'm a Honkai captain, and I lost my 50/50 to Bronya before I acquired Seele. I'm waiting for them to give us a connection to HI3 and Star Rail. There's so many bubble universes that Star Rail seems to just be a whole alternative experience with characters we already love, minus any Honkai, which alone makes for a whole new experience. Genshin is now the money maker, but Honkai will always be the first love of Mihoyo/Hoyoverse. It's always clear when the arcs end and you see the shorts that you saw just now. It's endearing. You will feel things for these queens because they put them through hell the WHOLE time. An evil man whose only goal is to bring back one woman. Warriors alive for 50,000 years dealing with the psychological breaks of millenia of betrayal and pain. Heros, who aren't heroes but show up. This is why we stay captains.
I mean honkai > genshin story wise
@@senpaikuzu4703 honkai >>>> genshin
in all aspects
Yea same I've only played Honkai for 3-ish years and took a few breaks and a pretty big one in-between but I just love the story and the chars as well and Himeko's death put me into a depression spiral
@@Lovecraftian3 ah yes. Genshin is way popular, a lot of children like it. But honkai recieve a lot of love and money from developers. Quality of characters just on another lvl. Look and dendro kequing and dead dehya, they forgot about genshin.
@@Lovecraftian3 hoyo don't care about genshin. Almost every 4* character is just bad, and unplayeble. New 5* just a joke compare to badass mechanics of newer honkai chads. They know genshin make a lot of money,but the know they love honkai more. You are a kid, who tries to defend genshin. Honkai is about quality and love to the project. Genshin about money and careless behavior
Himeko in Star Rail just triggers ALL the PTSD for HI3 players
I'm fine with Star Rail Himeko becoming a mascot. She deserves to live out her retirement in peace and never be put in danger.
Wait a minute, currently in ver 1.0 she is alone on the ship with no one and the last time in HK3rd she alone fights on the ship...
The fact that march 7th's skill was the recreation of the honkai impact 3rd logo hits me
best part about star rail was getting to see himeko alive and Natasha happy
PTSD flashbacks hit hard. Even when I played the CBT, I was still sadge.
When I heard Himeko's JP voice it made me tear up, we really have a trauma with her😔
Even main character using baseball bat is Kaslana family style.
Yeah i cried seeing Himeko smiling in HSR…its like meeting an old friend you lost…
I just got Himeko!!!! She’s gonna work well with Bronya and Seele…looks like im your Captain again…welcome back girls! I’ve missed you guys 😭 Team Valkyrie lets go!!!
cg on your himeko! I just got her too ( lost 50/50 :') )
All we need is a counterpart of Kiana and Mei and we finally will get Squad V again
I got Himeko but I haven't used her, but I kinda fell in love with her personality and her combat skills as well.
When I first found the Sword of Himeko floating there, I just... Stand there for like 3 minutes remembering all the PAIN
Wait this edit is actually so on point. This is how I felt almost every time I saw a character. They truly just made Honkai with genshin graphics
I can never look at Himeko the same way after her death.
It's not only the sadness of every character I see in this game. I'm sad because I never got the chance to pull them when I played HI.
I'm only going through the story stages with Rozaliya. And that's also pain.
Himeko in HI3: Fucking Badass and powerful
Himeko in HSR: 🗿☕
why is this so accurate
Based pfp
@@mraksoveech thanks
How do you hate lgbt But honkai impact has a lot of lesbians and bisexuals (yae sakura, Elysia, Kiana, Raiden mei, seele, Bronya, And Himeko and more)?
@@Iliumy i play for fun
"March 7th is an Elysia expy" aged like fine wine with Amphoreus' trailer
Turns out Elysia was Elysia's expy all along.
Kinda not surprising considering Himeko to Himeko and Raiden B. Mei to Raiden Mei💀
Honkai impact players: I see ghost all around me...
Started making me cry when I got to that TruE part with Elysia and the thirteen flamechasers
I left that specially for the extra depression lmao
Not to mention too, the very first “boss” of the game…is the dragon that Himeko absolutely clocked before facing Siren to save Kiana
About March 7th and Elysia, the could actually be a connection considering that not even March knows where she comes from, who were her parents, or even her own name, other than her personality and what we know from her time in the astral express, she is still a blank page, ready to be filled with a great story
Ok hear me out......
Aeon of love
@@mrdeafter N O
Aeon of Origin
Or…. The Kiana storyfication….. Who know?
I mean she is super energetic, chilling, and a bit dumb, just like the Kiana on the first arc….. Oh god it is a Mihoyo game and also in the Honkai series
Lol that tall xiao comment killed me! I've seen a lot of hsr video in Eng dub and feels so strange everyone talking Eng and so use too either hearing the Jp dub or rarely the Cn dub... Welt sounds exactly what I imagine him speaking eng
Xiao is the best tall king tho. And yeah, Welt sounds exactly like a retired Hershey would sound like, he old
As someone who has played through HI3 and GSI, I also have similar feelings, especially when I meet himeko again, my tears are a little bit teary ;)
Genshin players don't know the depression and pain we kanchous went through in the apocalyptic world. Playing HSR is as painful as playing HI3 again bc you see the some of the resemblance of the characters especially himeko
Himeko: *sips coffee*
Me: You are as beautiful as the day I lost you.
Himeko: What do you mean?
Meanwhile I'm like: You're as beautiful as the day I lost you *stares intensely to Luocha's coffin*
(Hint: Kallen, probably 😭)
This was a year ago and the wounds are still as fresh like the pearl under the sea.
Meanwhile that fight scene with the guardian with the vocals and guitar riffs playing out on the 2nd half just reminds mi of oaths or oracle from APHO.
Hoyomix really knows how to set up the stage with some banger OSTs
I've been playing honkai impact recently and holy shit i regret playing hsr before honkai impact
The impact of not knowing the death of himeko would've made me cry on that scene
I'm kinda glad that they made most of these characters 5 star, excluding Raven and Sushang
