Luocha is actually based on Otto when he traveled to Shenzhou with Kallen's coffin and went by the name "Raksha" which is the same as Luocha in chinese
your reaction to ruan mei is completely spot on. she's insane lmao a lot of people hate her because of what she does in the game but i find her fascinating. a great unit to have as well.
I wouldn't call her insane, more like morally gray She cares about her interests first and foremost, but she's not going out of her way to murder everyone or make everyone's life miserable
Kafka: Heads or tails? Georgie: whatever you’ll give me I absolutely died at that 😂😂😂😂 Georgie truly being one of us lol my ribs hurt so much from laughing
Idrylla, the Beauty, is a lost Aeon. Believed dead by most, the Knights of Beauty still seek her out, and the Mirror Holders aim to revive her by collecting her lost relics.
@@gluttony131 Mirror Holders aren't the same thing as Garden of Recollection. At the very least, they worship different aeons: MH worship Idrila the Beauty, GoR worship Fuli the Remembrance. Plus, MH collect Idrila's relics (or mirrors), not memories.
my headcanon is that, Idrylla didnt truly "die" or "fell". But maybe, more like, they became everything or anything that is deemed "beautiful", depending on the people's own perspective. Like literally, anything that me ir you deemed as "pretty" or "beautiful" or "gorgeous" or "majestic" regardless living or not, i believe THAT is Idrylla. Instead of dead, They became what They literally embodied. Remember the trailer in the myriad celestial, whne the panel shows "The Beauty" it shows a crack or rather shattered, depicting They could "shatter" Themself to spread what is beautiful, or pretty, plus beauty itself is subjective to different people, yet it universally exist within our perspectives.
IM SO HAPPY I GOT SPARKLE. A lot of streamers didn’t get lucky at all. Apprently 29th February was the cursed day for all my gachas game so maybe it’s more than just coincidence
CONGRATS! thats awesome! Yeah she looks SO cool I may need to grab her honestly hahah! Well tbf 29th feb is an extra day so I can imagine its either the luckiest day ever for people or insanely cursed lol
i was trying to get a second black swan, but went to 80 pulls no dice, when sparkle came 4 pulls and puff got her. for me she was what i need because im one of the few with no bronya buffs´. so iguess i was luckiesh , after all 84 or 85 pulls with no 5 star....
we actually have a Raiden Mei expy in star rail, her name is Acheron and she will be on the next banner after sparkle. also you can still claim DR. Ratio for free until 2.2 so there's no better time to catch up than now
Ruan Mei is really complicated and fascinating person, even more then Topaz (cus big Corpa worker), im interested what you will think after her story in 1.6 Trailblaze Interlude. Fan fact: she took her name from both parents names, so its not referencing anything directly (except Ruan "guitar" music instrument she has), but her character is kinda reminiscing of Dr. MEI of HI3 (and GGZ) in some aspects.
I'm so glad that you're reacting to these trailers. You should definitely come back since now we're in Penacony. Tho, fair warning- the lead writer of main story is a HI3rd writer whose responsible for these "positive and wholesome stories" 😂💀
If you do start playing again, don't worry about starting a new account, especially if you were able to do the silverworlf event and got the "before the tutorial" light cone which is BiS for a lot of units. Also, they have made amazing QoL for returning players with a reserve trailblazer power which accumulates even after the max cap of 240 is full (I think the reserve is 2.4k, I don't really remember), they also made a returning player "event" that helps you catch up again. Storywise, if you lost track, they made a timeline feature where you can somewhat rewatch cutscenes again (or atleast make it easier to look up the stuff you forgot). The only "problem" for you now is the lack of premium sustain units because as the game amps up in difficulty, the necessity of one grows everyday.
I agree with this. I didn't play for 4 months. Just came back. Glad I didn't start new. Yeah it's 2400 they save for you. I was able to farm enough jade from past events and achievements and quests I Hadn't done to win the 50/50 to pull DanIL and also Sparkle but after losing the 50/50.
if you do decide to get back into it, the major events of each patch are still replayable, just with less rewards you also still get Dr. Ratio for free if you play between 2.0 and 2.2
As someone who's a complete sucker for horror aspects and elements in non-horror games i can only say that Penacony is probably my favourite and most intriguing expansion and story that hoyoverse has ever come out with. Even in their marketing and showcases of it they insisted on it being a 'heartwarming and uplifting story' despite at the same time coming out with by far the creepiest trailers they've ever dropped loll.
HSR is for sure a game worth getting into, I honestly dont think I ever felt as respect and rewarded by a gacha game before. The story is great ofc, the characters too, but what is special about this game is that you can feel that the devs love the game - the trailers, the way they keep adding new endgame and improving quality of life, the way they listen tot he community....I have been honestly impressed how well they are developing this game, so I strongly support you in falling into the pit with us all and playing this as a LETS PLAY.
The part where Sparkle asks questions, shoots herself with blanks, and gives an answer. Then, "What is Elation?" "Me! I am Elation!" reminds me of a scene in the TV series "Gotham". A character, Jerome, had a whole scene like this too. I think the members who made this trailer slid this part in as a nod and homage to it.
Yeah, its kinda crazy how good the Sparkle trailer was especially, I was saving for someone else but I just had to pull her after she was given 3 great trailers. I would enjoy watching you dive back in to the this game. The cast is overall very fun and the overarching story is also very solid. The latest planet has been packed full of stuff. Also another detail that I like more than Genshin is that most limited-time events stick around in some playable way, it doesn't turn into lost content.
For dragon Dan Heng you might want to look up the animated short called Ichor of Two Dragons...that's where they put all the hype you didn't see in his regular trailer. :)
oh bless you're so funny, loved your reactions xD you seem quite entertaining and HSR content seems to be thriving so I'm sure if you did a Let's Play you would enjoy it and I think it would do well
I am hearing that penacony is AMAZING! but honestly just from these character trailers I think I have been missing out on some great story! Will be exciting to delve into it!
If you haven't already you should watch the animated shorts and myriad celestia trailers (the "ichor of two dragons" short expands a lot more on dan heng's character, and is probably where the budget for his trailer went, but it does have spoilers for the luofu story)
Since I heard u talking about Mei there is a character coming out that’s is a Mei expy she is called Acheron I hope u also reacting to her trailer since it’ll be coming out soon and fun fact:hoyoverse named a rose variant after argenti 😂
I know you did a reaction to one of the earlier animated shorts for Jing Yuan + Jingliu, but I'd like to see your reaction to all of their animated + myriad celestia trailers (theres pretty much a myriad celestia trailer for a majority of the SSRs, and are lore/plot heavy) and maybe the game version trailers too. Unfortunately Daniel got a shorter character trailer than the others but got both an animated + Myriad trailer in exchange. But in general, all their trailers of content go pretty damn hard. HYV has an insane market/planning/animating team.
Would you ever consider watching the "Keeping up with star rail" videos that talk about the kits? Or would you just do this in game? Either way I'd love to see you learn about what these characters do because I think they're all fun and unique. ALSO if you play the game soon, you'll still be able to claim the free Dr Ratio (until the end of 2.1, we're in 2.0 right now)
Might I say you look fancy today? :> Glad you caught up with the HSR trailers. Somehow they are so easy to miss in comparison to Genshin ones 🤔 I guess the algorithm just likes to troll me
"I want to know what this means" A popular theory is that this was her being recruited as a Masked Fool by Aha himself. If her character teaser is anything to go by, Sparkle is an actress who suffered a nervous breakdown after playing the same role almost 1,000 times and basically turned into Joker (no, not Harley, Joker). At time of this writing, she's also the current banner and is looking like she is probably one of the top supports of the game
Argenti wins for me man. I originally didn't want to pull for him, but his trailer won me over. We desperately needed another dork character, and he came 😂 And i have to say, Black Swans trailer is also amazing, the music and animation is gorgeous. Im glad we got Star Rail's version of the Herrscher of the Void
I’m used to watch video reactions of the various trailers but yours .. yours has been one of the best haha I love your British accent soo much 😂❤ keep it up. I’m going to follow right away
Fu Xuan's is hilarious as the green fish symbol represented Qingque. Her tossing the fish to a latter position indicated that Qingque was going to be late. Again.
I may be wrong, but I think that Loucha is like the new Identity of Void Archives that they use for commerce on the xianxio fleet but that isn't confurmed.
@@georgieegameslet’s just say, for the ones like us who are impatient and look into things ahead of time, seeing her game animations has made us excited beyond belief for what her trailer will be like.
as someone who doesn't even have jingliu, you're gonna want jingliu. I've been calling every moc cycle after her release a "jingliu check" just because they're seemingly tailor-made for her. fu xuan is also cracked.
You should totally do a lets play. Especially on penacony, the story for it is literally amazing. and sparkle is such a menace, that even people on twitter tried to cancel her
Fear not! This games "Raiden mei" is coming VERY soon! You might have to make another video at some point. But yeah, the newest trailers all are super good and they have only ever been getting better and more slick with how they tie in stories in these trailers
I've only just realized this but (guessing here) when I watched Kafkas trailer I wondered why the rose petals? to censor for blood? I think it's actually to symbolize the knights of beauty, as Argenti also has them in his. Just a guess but I think I'm right on the mark. And since she was a former knight of beauty, yeah no other explanation needed.
If you do pick up the game again, I recommend reading the Data Bank, particularly the section on the Aeons (which is 1 or 2 paragraphs each). Each of these trailers have their damage type, Path, and I think most have their faction in the universe they're part of
I recommend checking out the Myriad Celestia trailers. They're of varying quality but the best ones are amazing. And Sparkle also has an incredibke trailer there. Imo around the same level as the one you watched here at the end.
You actually may remember Black Swan, she is a HSR Narrator (of Miriyad Celestia Lore Trailers) and a real Memokeeper of Garden of Recollection, the followers of Fuli the Rememberens Aoen. I do wonder if Genshin's Nicole with Barbeloth will be similar to Aponia and Black Swan in some ways. All looks like Velkin Moon Sister avatar too which is interesting.
29:50 Ruan Mei isn't evil, she's just... kind of autistic lmao. As in, she's terrible with people and emotions and acting like a regular human being, so she misses a lot of cues and has vey unorthodox ways to do things, which yeah sometimes are kinda evil.
i love how Topaz is like: Madam Herta this is your MASSIVE debt. and Herta is like: Thats all? Chump change. Leaves. the immense wealth she posseses is just so funny to watch.
Tbh i love that morally dubious characters or straight up evil characters are playable. Meanwhile most if not all the other Characters that arent evil have extreme and sad backgrounds, with a lot of dead relatives, friends, and brutal pasts (if you read the lore) I honestly expected to happen what happened in 2.0 . Yukongs Storyquest straight up said that there are Warhammer 40k lvl Spacebattles in this universe. Often the Eons behave like Eldritch Horrors, just intervening if its for their cause, making the sacrifice of millions seem like a flick of a hand for them.
Black Swan is not evil, but we don't know what all her motives are. She was featured in a Trailer called Myriad Celestia: Fables about the stars Part 1 and since I first saw her and heard her in that I was waiting to pull her(She's voiced by Arryn Zech, who played Blake Belladonna in RWBY, and so I call her Blake Swan) As for Sparkle she's basically the Joker(literally says "Why so serious?" frequently) and I also get a bit of Neo from RWBY vibes too.
I completely fell for sparkle. Also a good thing about returning to HSR is that you can play all the past events they don’t go away like Genshin events they remain in the game for new players. They also made a cool feature which is like a time line that tells you in which order to do the quests to better follow the lore of the game
Yea Sparkle has a split personality and it’s one side is more normal and the other side is an ABSOLUTE maniac. If you could see when she was being unhinged her entire mask was red and there was one where she wasn’t as insane and the mask was white. Than if you couldn’t see ,it shows her actual mask is split in half with red and white.
You'd be coming back at the right time. Acheron - who is the Raiden Mei/Raiden Shogun of HSR - debuts next patch. Jingliu is who you remember to be. Depending on who you talk to, either she or Imbibitor Lunae ("horny" Dan Heng) is the biggest damage dealer in the game. Saying Ruan Mei is "evil" is probably a little harsh. Certainly she operates in a morally very dark gray area, but I wouldn't call her any more evil than Dr. MEI, Mobius, or Vill-V, and certainly not more evil than Otto (all of HI3). And yeah - everything about Penacony (the third planet that has just been released) is an absolute trip so far.
Ruan Mei seemingly creates Lifeforms at a whim for her research, even a clone of an Emanator of propagation which lasted 56s. And while I can't really stand her, the cat-cake Lifeforms you can make in an Event are adorable. And also, Ratio isnt just incredibly based, but also incredibly good
So the funny thing about Mei is... the next character to release is Acheron, HSR's Raiden Mei. Her trailers are out now and one of them _heavily_ references HI3 lore. You should react! Plus all the more reason to come back to the game now!
I say this as a huge Dan Heng simp: his Imbibitor Lunae trailer is far from being one of my favorite trailers. His short, though (in the same style of that Jing Yuan fight animation you mentioned)… is my favorite thing Honkai Star Rail has ever published. It has story spoilers, but oh my GOD the narrative…
Luochas JP VA is esentially Otto´s VA, also i dont know if you saw the honkai Chronicals for otto, but the one image was legit Luocha and the coffin the "death flowers" are Red Spider Lillies I dont know if you know it but Amalee (Monarch on Twitch) is the VA of Jing Liu, and yes she is the lady who fought Jing Yuan The Mei from Honkai Impact will be Acheron, which is yet to come, maybe for 2.1 , and Ruan Mei is most likely the most evil person in entire Star Rail. Dr. Ratio is still collectable until version 2.1, so hurry up and get him! And sparkle is the most unhinged , giving huge Kurumi Vibes from Date A Live
Fun fact: Huohuo and Argenti were from the same patch (1.5) and Huohuo's Tail (named Tail) is voiced by Adam Gold, who also voices Argenti
WHAT He did such a good job!!
Oh FR??? That's actually awesome omg!!

@@shinhonwy thank you for clarifying i haven't delve deep into the Knights of Beauty that much.

Actually I think you can still get Dr. Ratio for free if you install the game and log in before version 2.1 is out.
He is really good.
I SHALL GET HIM BEFORE I RUN OUTTA TIME LOL
i would love to see a let's play!! the new planet (penacony), and the story + characters that come with it are truly amazing, very worth playing
Fear not! This games "Raiden mei" is coming VERY soon! You might have to make another video at some point. But yeah, the newest trailers all are super good and they have only ever been getting better and more slick with how they tie in stories in these trailers
I've only just realized this but (guessing here) when I watched Kafkas trailer I wondered why the rose petals? to censor for blood? I think it's actually to symbolize the knights of beauty, as Argenti also has them in his. Just a guess but I think I'm right on the mark. And since she was a former knight of beauty, yeah no other explanation needed.
If you do pick up the game again, I recommend reading the Data Bank, particularly the section on the Aeons (which is 1 or 2 paragraphs each).
Each of these trailers have their damage type, Path, and I think most have their faction in the universe they're part of
I recommend checking out the Myriad Celestia trailers. They're of varying quality but the best ones are amazing. And Sparkle also has an incredibke trailer there. Imo around the same level as the one you watched here at the end.
You actually may remember Black Swan, she is a HSR Narrator (of Miriyad Celestia Lore Trailers) and a real Memokeeper of Garden of Recollection, the followers of Fuli the Rememberens Aoen.
I do wonder if Genshin's Nicole with Barbeloth will be similar to Aponia and Black Swan in some ways. All looks like Velkin Moon Sister avatar too which is interesting.
29:50 Ruan Mei isn't evil, she's just... kind of autistic lmao.
As in, she's terrible with people and emotions and acting like a regular human being, so she misses a lot of cues and has vey unorthodox ways to do things, which yeah sometimes are kinda evil.
One way to put it :D But yeah, she's not exactly "evil".
..? people are judged by actions first and foremost.
i see her on the extremely dangerous category because of the myriad trailer.. it gave me vibes of something worse that nanook
@edgecr I mean she wants to become an Aeon and God knows how will that look like.
Glad to see another person interested in this great game (btw you look gorgeous in this vid)
Hehe I am very excited to delve into the story!! And AWH THANK YOU that's so sweet! ❤❤
I WOULD LOVE for you to come back and turn this into a Let's Play.
i love how Topaz is like: Madam Herta this is your MASSIVE debt.
and Herta is like: Thats all? Chump change. Leaves.
the immense wealth she posseses is just so funny to watch.
Let's just say that your Ruan Mei reaction trailer is... exactly on point.
I wouldn't say she's evil, so much as she is just callous and oblivious to how what she does affects others.
@@roadjcat Oh I adore her. I'm fascinated by her character.
@@raptorofwar4415 I'm personally not wild about her. 😅
@@roadjcat For me it's kinda like "The kind of evil that doesn't realize it's evil is the worst one"
I'm glad to see you react to these hoping to see you pick up this game again.
I hope you do the version trailers and myriad trailers please!!
Your reactions abd lets plays keep my fueled
I would really like to see you react to the version trailer before doing a let's play ( i am dowm for the LP tho )
I think that sounds like a great idea so I can have a guess at where the story goes before seeing for myself hehe!
There's an actual Mei iteration that will come soon to the game, her name is Acheron, she'll be available in 2.1
Tbh i love that morally dubious characters or straight up evil characters are playable.
Meanwhile most if not all the other Characters that arent evil have extreme and sad backgrounds, with a lot of dead relatives, friends, and brutal pasts (if you read the lore)
I honestly expected to happen what happened in 2.0 . Yukongs Storyquest straight up said that there are Warhammer 40k lvl Spacebattles in this universe. Often the Eons behave like Eldritch Horrors, just intervening if its for their cause, making the sacrifice of millions seem like a flick of a hand for them.
Any plans to return to HI3, Georgie? We have a part 2 now!
29:25 damn you have very good instincts!!! While everyone else was simping for her when her trailer droped 😂
For anyone who has seen Sailor Moon, Argenti is basically Tuxedo Mask reborn 😂
Black Swan is not evil, but we don't know what all her motives are. She was featured in a Trailer called Myriad Celestia: Fables about the stars Part 1 and since I first saw her and heard her in that I was waiting to pull her(She's voiced by Arryn Zech, who played Blake Belladonna in RWBY, and so I call her Blake Swan)
As for Sparkle she's basically the Joker(literally says "Why so serious?" frequently) and I also get a bit of Neo from RWBY vibes too.
As for Mei, I believe they already dropped her drip market splash art last time, so her banner will be up next patch (after the Sparkle banner).
I completely fell for sparkle. Also a good thing about returning to HSR is that you can play all the past events they don’t go away like Genshin events they remain in the game for new players. They also made a cool feature which is like a time line that tells you in which order to do the quests to better follow the lore of the game
Will you react to Myriad Celestia trailers?
YUSSS I can do! I think these and the version trailers I'm being asked to look at so 😁👍
perfect time to make this video sparkles trailer is making waves rn its so good
Yea Sparkle has a split personality and it’s one side is more normal and the other side is an ABSOLUTE maniac. If you could see when she was being unhinged her entire mask was red and there was one where she wasn’t as insane and the mask was white. Than if you couldn’t see ,it shows her actual mask is split in half with red and white.
You'd be coming back at the right time. Acheron - who is the Raiden Mei/Raiden Shogun of HSR - debuts next patch.
Jingliu is who you remember to be. Depending on who you talk to, either she or Imbibitor Lunae ("horny" Dan Heng) is the biggest damage dealer in the game.
Saying Ruan Mei is "evil" is probably a little harsh. Certainly she operates in a morally very dark gray area, but I wouldn't call her any more evil than Dr. MEI, Mobius, or Vill-V, and certainly not more evil than Otto (all of HI3).
And yeah - everything about Penacony (the third planet that has just been released) is an absolute trip so far.
Glad you started reacting to the HSR trailers! They were all epic!
It WAS SO COOL! AH I have been missing out!! Hope you have been doing well jayelroo!! 😁✌️
Ruan Mei seemingly creates Lifeforms at a whim for her research, even a clone of an Emanator of propagation which lasted 56s. And while I can't really stand her, the cat-cake Lifeforms you can make in an Event are adorable.
And also, Ratio isnt just incredibly based, but also incredibly good
First time watching, subscribed to see your playthrough! :D
You should react to Star Rails Myriad Celestia trailers eventually too. They're really good as well.
quit the game within a week realizing Kafka wasn't summonable, then I came back when Kafka release date was out and have played since.
So the funny thing about Mei is... the next character to release is Acheron, HSR's Raiden Mei. Her trailers are out now and one of them _heavily_ references HI3 lore. You should react! Plus all the more reason to come back to the game now!
Hiii yess the two trailer reactions are on my channel now as well as my playthrough as I started playing again! :) thanks for watching this hehe!
I say this as a huge Dan Heng simp: his Imbibitor Lunae trailer is far from being one of my favorite trailers. His short, though (in the same style of that Jing Yuan fight animation you mentioned)… is my favorite thing Honkai Star Rail has ever published. It has story spoilers, but oh my GOD the narrative…
Luochas JP VA is esentially Otto´s VA, also i dont know if you saw the honkai Chronicals for otto, but the one image was legit Luocha and the coffin
the "death flowers" are Red Spider Lillies
I dont know if you know it but Amalee (Monarch on Twitch) is the VA of Jing Liu, and yes she is the lady who fought Jing Yuan
The Mei from Honkai Impact will be Acheron, which is yet to come, maybe for 2.1 , and Ruan Mei is most likely the most evil person in entire Star Rail.
Dr. Ratio is still collectable until version 2.1, so hurry up and get him!
And sparkle is the most unhinged , giving huge Kurumi Vibes from Date A Live
