Same.. i just love the story and i love how Sunday wanted to do something with a good reason and meaning but did the wrong thing and the love between Sunday and Robin as siblings is just beautiful, Sunday just wanted to help and do the right, but he did the wrong action
4:16 I do agree with her. The final boss, Cocolia, and its music, "Wildfire," in Jarilo VI was amazing. I still remember how I was hyped with the rock music in phase 1. But when phase 2 came in, and the vocals came in, my hype went further, and I was straight vibing. But the final boss and its music in phases 2 and 3, "Hope Is A Thing With Feathers," in Penacony absolutely tops it. It was indeed PEAK FICTION! It was an amazing experience for me. The boss was so good that I had to take screenshots(because I'm playing HSR in my phone btw) so that I can remember that moment again. It's that good! I, too, wonder how they will top this.
@@roxas5071 Nah, Phantylia was also pretty hype for a boss battle, it just wasn't emotional, which makes sense for a the Luofu main story which was basically A, a side quest narratively urgent/fast paced, and B, Phantylia and Nanook's gang just want to destroy things. Plus, the only other boss that beats Phanty in stage presence is the Meme, whereas the swarm bug and aventurine kind of have some presence, but nowhere near as much as the others And for example those who aren't sucked into Penacony aren't impressed with the Robin sections of the boss theme.
Emily and the rest of us definitely love this battle for several reasons: - Robin's music (Big applause to Chevy) - The Astral Express Derail Service (Sunday Special) - Orchestra vibes
Attempting to stretch out the damage to try to get to Himeko's train line is funny. lol The delivery that Cia did for "Witness...the will of the weak" is still the best one, I hope Emily got to hear it on stream.
cant help but notice that the track has a very train-like, chugging, 4/4 beat. Robin really harnessed harmony and sang with the intent to disturb the slumber of the dreamers with the discord of Trailblaze.
The clearest connection I can draw is its similarity in tempo and lyrics to an average Christian rock song. Look one up and you'll instantly hear the similarities. The Christian allegories in 2.2 were tied up beautifully with this song.
Just like Jing Yuan had with Phantylia and I wouldn't be surprised if the Trailblazer had special lines during the Cocolia fight as well but maybe not cause someone would've probly noticed by now.
I find it funny despite Sparkle being this trickster playing by her own rules 15:14 she is shown to caught in the dream just like everyone else and waking up by the Astral Express efforts.
The only one unaffected was Acheron since she was an emanator of nihility, but I'm sure you knew that already. What I'm wondering is if her buttons she gave out to people will be brought up in a future version. I want to know what happens if you press it.
@@The_Celestial_Fox I am pretty sure that will be explained in 2.3 Together with the "battle" that Firefly went throught to wake us up, Sparkle mysterious button, and the IPC "harvesting" and final showdown led by Jade and Aventurine. Penacony is already peak but it is still not over. Shaoji really cooked this time, i readily admit that.
@@Kuloire NGL as happy as I am about Aventurine coming back if the IPC try to take back the Penacony that Mikhail Char Legwork worked so hard to liberate I'm joining Boothill in take down the IPC. I love Sunday and his motives since I experienced a similar kind of character in Persona 5 Royal. But the IPC has forever been shit to me especially after I did the Chadwick side quest.
@@zerotodona1495 Yes. But who is the one who woke up first and fought so we can wake up from Ena's Dream? Firefly. Remember that Firefly said she will go to another battle and if successful, that will be a significant support for us, the Astral Express Crew. She did just that and beyond, even dying her third "death" as prophesied by Destiny's Slave, Elio. Although, i am pretty sure that is not true "death", and i won't say more.
You know what, after seeing this scene so many different times, I can't help but think back to how sincere Shaoji sounded during the anniversary stream, when he opened up about his and his teams' frustration with leaks. I hope after seeing the general reception to this story and boss battle, that everyone can be proud of their accomplishments. Flaws aside, I do think Penacony quite possibly tops Belobog for my favourite arc so far.
if you look closely when sunday 3rd phase charge his massive attack. you can look his eyes like he is crying. he too suffer because he himself are not free.
This one is a tear jerker no matter how many times I see it. Do you think I should use the outro more often? Emily's Twitch: www.twitch.tv/emilysunnyville Her Twitter: x.com/emilysunnyville
Sunday's Final Form battle was arguably the best moment ever at Penacony, because it made me feel more excited than ever and everyone else felt the same!
I like how almost everyone vibes to this and press random buttons while fighting this boss. This is the kind of boss where atmosphere, music, the battle itself even are gorgeous. However also have to be mindful of its last phase as it can wipe your whole team out if you don't pay attention I think (and yeah I almost got fully wiped out by it, because I started playing in 2.1, and had no fully prepared characters) 😂
My heart ached for the March, Dan Heng, and trailblazers voice lines 1:00 welt 8:33 March 11:18 Dan Heng 13:21 Robin 15:10 Trailblazer ( Himeko: Witness… the will of the weak!) that her voice line for the train attack
Like ngl, this is probably the best thing hoyo released since graduation trip. Also, they might be able to surpass it with an animated short payoff on top of a good boss
The way that boss fight was set up with all the events leading to that just makes it perfect. You had so many twists along the way in the story, a battle between taking control of your own life or letting someone else do it for you, and then you had people from 6 different Paths helping out (Trailblaze, Hunt, Nihility, Enigmata, Harmony, and Remembrance and 8 if you count Preservation and Elation) in uncovering everything leading to this fight... And after all that we came full circle to that question of "Why does life slumber?" in that cutscene (that honestly made me cry a bit because that cutscene felt like the end/grand finale of the story). It's going to be really difficult for HSR to surpass this story-wise. But knowing them, they're probably on their way cooking something even better in Version 3.0.
Yeah its gonna be really hard to top this. This actually feels like a final boss fight in a jrpg. Sunday felt like a fusion of Elidibus from FFXIV and Maruki from P5
i've been watching all the reactions to this fight as i cna find since finishing it myself and every single time i cry it's so good, infinite praise to the star rail team really. i'll put this on par with endwalker honestly for the strongest a game has ever made me feel something
"I don't know how they are gonna top this." Is exactly what I said during Cocolia, Wildfire. Then they did and I said it again in Dan Heng Moses theme. I said for sure no one can top that. Then this Sunday boss fight came and they topped everything else. Hoyo really trailblaze every music boss theme. And I love it.
Ngl. This time the story is so beautiful..to me its like giving me the vibe similar to the wildfire back in jarilo.. even sunday as antagonist is quite pitiable...in the end he couldnt bear to see other people suffer thats why he chose to let them all be happy in the dream even if it meant him living in perpetual solitude
What an amazing reaction to the VA of jarilo-VI child~ Btw there is a clip where aventurine appears and noticed that emily is down bad again, she is trying to move the camera removing both ratio and topaz. and on the final part emily is begging boothill for mercy on the behalf for aventurine. 6w9
Things to Note. Doomsday Beast's music is us facing an enemy. A strong enemy. Cocolia's music is a battle between will and fate. We stand opposite of everything Cocolia stands for. Panthylia's music is us facing a monster that is playing with us. Sunday's music is us trying to bring a misguided Villain, a broken brother back to light. Hoyoverse is definitely a music company that makes games for shits and giggles.
The music for each finale hits so hard, blowing my expectations out of the water. Wildfire, Samudrartha, now Hope is a thing with feathers. Star Rail pulling me in with each one.
I love this game. HSR reminds me of the old Final fantasy turn based games that has the best writing for a short game mixed with many anime tropes and twists that we see nowadays. Without being bound by the complexity of battle style and gameplay, the writers and developers have a lot of stuff to work on to make the the bests stories out of this game.
All the things HSR does better than genshin, it does because the devs don't have to spend 90% of their time crafting an open world and real-time combat mechanics
@@hat1324 You worded your sentence like you're mocking HSR to not have a complex open world map that's why it only does better. If that wasn't what you meant then sorry.
@@ArcusArgent No I didn't. Unless you consider a game to be inherently better because it's open world. But you're not wrong, its at least partially because the HSR team doesn't have to burn the midnight oil making an epic landscape that they can focus on more important things
Personally, the boss battle against Phantylia was nervewracking. It really felt like an enemy boss, but this boss battle was not like any boss battle. It felt more sad, he didn't feel like an enemy even till the end.
I think why this song was so emotional and hit so hard was because this whole patch with Penacony was a emotional rollercoaster and hearing Robin's voice was like the voice of an angel, yes i am making this comparison.
The emotional punch of Mikhail's legacy followed by the battle against Sunday is too powerful. Like Emily said, I can't even imagine how they are going to one-up themselves after Penacony, these are the moments that made me fall in love with this game.
Watching chat scream at her was frustrating even me I'm surprised it doesn't annoy her. I can totally relate to her reaction though. This boss fight was incredible.
I watched it live!! Almost 12 hour stream was intense! Kinda sad she didn’t get to hear Himeko (Cia) English line during the fight (she killed Sunday too quickly) but glad she got to hear it on TH-cam (a few times) Also love she still Simped for Aventurine in the true ending and begged Boothill to leave him alone! This is so on point with the Emily we know and love!!
This has to be one of my fav bosses because not only do we see the effects like the train but the music, I never heard of Chevy's other songs but Penacony makes me feel sad and shocked
Why doesn't Sunday want to wake up? Most probably because Robin in reality was already killed (or dumbed, as an euphemism) by that bullet on the battlefield 😢 But out of his expectation, even if the remnants of Robin are nowhere else but in the harmonious dream, she still wants to "wake up" to accept her own death, for the sake of the people trapped in the eternal dream... This is the only explanation to Sunday's surrender to Robin's song and his once unchangeable persistence to his eternal dream, there's already a lifelong regret, irreversible, in his life, so painful and unacceptable to him, that he couldn't help appeal to power and order and the ability of the dream world, as desperate effort to "reverse" or "repair" the reality, to give peace to the universe, to realize the last dream of his beloved sister... Personally, when I was told by Sunday the tragedy of that caged little bird and Robin's past experiences, I immediately got the hint about what happened in reality. If possible, if I have that choice, I really don't want to destroy Sunday's dream; even if the cost to maintain that dream is indeed living people's vigor, there will still be lots of people willing to "donate" their vigor to support and build this dream voluntarily had they got the chance to know the whole story. In this sense, imo the only problem of Sunday was that, he was robbing the freedom of the people to make that choice voluntarily; this could actually be fixed by more peaceful means, such as a properly prepared contract between the dreamers and Sunday.
This is Emily Sun, original certified Aventurine simp, of course her Aventurine is on crack... Maybe on steroids too... Seriously though, Emily got Aventurine to E6S5.
Haven’t seen anyone mention the chorus sounds like a train. Even the whoas are reminiscent of a train whistle. They really went all out to incorporate this theme for the whole sequence.
I've heard this song a bunch of times by now, but I'm still sitting here in public physically Fighting the urge to throw my hand up when Robin tells me to.
Wildfire was much more hype and created great hype moments with the robot punching Cocolia but this with the context of Robin, a character inside the game, be the one singing in the fight it’s soooo good and will never be top cause I don’t think they’ll ever release another singer character. Overall both songs are great in different ways, if someone didn’t play the game but heard the songs they’d probably think Wildfire is more suited for boss fight music but again with all the context of Penacony, this just WORKS
Ive played both hi3 and genshin , yet this is the first time a hoyoverse game made me shed a few tears. I enjoyed penacony in its entirety, there was not one moment where I wasn’t fully invested and interesting.

fr I witnessed two times
Himeko VA put her whole soul into that line only for such requirements getting her snuffed lol
I guess lol, it took me ages and Sundays last attack killed my (finally not anymore) unbuild Jing Yuan.
cant help but notice that the track has a very train-like, chugging, 4/4 beat. Robin really harnessed harmony and sang with the intent to disturb the slumber of the dreamers with the discord of Trailblaze.
Yeah, between that and the lyrics, I think it’s awesome how they channeled the will of the Trailblaze with this soundtrack.

Как же я люблю этот момент в сюжете и песню в бою с боссом. Так атмосферно. Мне даже сложно её отдельно слушать, только во время боя :D
Watching chat scream at her was frustrating even me I'm surprised it doesn't annoy her. I can totally relate to her reaction though. This boss fight was incredible.
I watched it live!! Almost 12 hour stream was intense! Kinda sad she didn’t get to hear Himeko (Cia) English line during the fight (she killed Sunday too quickly) but glad she got to hear it on TH-cam (a few times)
Also love she still Simped for Aventurine in the true ending and begged Boothill to leave him alone! This is so on point with the Emily we know and love!!
its a shame how she missed imo the most impactful voiceline when you use the astral express against sunday (himekos)
14:44 LMAO Svarog be like: Ok that's enough.
I saw this entire fight ten times.
And I cried twelve times.
This has to be one of my fav bosses because not only do we see the effects like the train but the music, I never heard of Chevy's other songs but Penacony makes me feel sad and shocked
Why doesn't Sunday want to wake up? Most probably because Robin in reality was already killed (or dumbed, as an euphemism) by that bullet on the battlefield 😢
But out of his expectation, even if the remnants of Robin are nowhere else but in the harmonious dream, she still wants to "wake up" to accept her own death, for the sake of the people trapped in the eternal dream... This is the only explanation to Sunday's surrender to Robin's song and his once unchangeable persistence to his eternal dream, there's already a lifelong regret, irreversible, in his life, so painful and unacceptable to him, that he couldn't help appeal to power and order and the ability of the dream world, as desperate effort to "reverse" or "repair" the reality, to give peace to the universe, to realize the last dream of his beloved sister...
Personally, when I was told by Sunday the tragedy of that caged little bird and Robin's past experiences, I immediately got the hint about what happened in reality. If possible, if I have that choice, I really don't want to destroy Sunday's dream; even if the cost to maintain that dream is indeed living people's vigor, there will still be lots of people willing to "donate" their vigor to support and build this dream voluntarily had they got the chance to know the whole story. In this sense, imo the only problem of Sunday was that, he was robbing the freedom of the people to make that choice voluntarily; this could actually be fixed by more peaceful means, such as a properly prepared contract between the dreamers and Sunday.
Bummer that she didn’t get the Himeko voice line
this was me just jamming out its my new song on my train
Heads up
A steady rhythm, the destination is ever near!
It comes
Stride to our kingdom, to see the light of day!
Wow! Her Aventurine is cracked! The whole fight was literally a No-sell. 😮
This is Emily Sun, original certified Aventurine simp, of course her Aventurine is on crack... Maybe on steroids too...
Seriously though, Emily got Aventurine to E6S5.
Haven’t seen anyone mention the chorus sounds like a train. Even the whoas are reminiscent of a train whistle.
They really went all out to incorporate this theme for the whole sequence.
I still cry when I do the boss fight...
Svarog is in the back waving the glow sticks along Clara being the best father figure. This boss fight just hit so hard.
okay time to fight the penacony boss
(20 minutes later)
damn…. penacony boss made me sob
I've heard this song a bunch of times by now, but I'm still sitting here in public physically Fighting the urge to throw my hand up when Robin tells me to.
Apparently the lyric is "Heads up", but I really prefer to hear it as "Hands up".
I love Emily’s reactions 😂
The other 2 songs from Chevy were great but this song is just way better than the others.
I SWEAR THAT LAST PART ALMOST MADE ME CRY OUT OF ALL THE TIMES I HAVE WATCHED IT
I'm so hype the moment Himeko says her line the "feel the will of the weak" when sunday has 5%
It was so awesome when I finished the boss.
Sunday being caught by Robin continuing theme of noone falls without being caught in honkaiverse
Wildfire was much more hype and created great hype moments with the robot punching Cocolia but this with the context of Robin, a character inside the game, be the one singing in the fight it’s soooo good and will never be top cause I don’t think they’ll ever release another singer character.
Overall both songs are great in different ways, if someone didn’t play the game but heard the songs they’d probably think Wildfire is more suited for boss fight music but again with all the context of Penacony, this just WORKS
I can just imagine persona 5 "throw away your mask" playing in the backround
this bossfight is so fire🔥🔥🔥💀🔥🔥🔥
Good job
i can say that without a doubt... this was the first ever boss fight from any game that i cried in
Me too is so amazing ❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
I’m so glad I went in with a scuffed team at Lv70. My healer died in the final phase but I still heard all the voice lines. Lovely fight
I'm not crying.... You are! 😢
"Its so Himekover" LMAO I LAUGHED SO HARD
She missed THE LINE of Himeko 😔
Claras VA loving penacony makes me even prouder to be a Clara Main
Idk why but i always like chuckle when Sunday said, music...?
Ive played both hi3 and genshin , yet this is the first time a hoyoverse game made me shed a few tears. I enjoyed penacony in its entirety, there was not one moment where I wasn’t fully invested and interesting.
The scene where Robin came and saved us really hit me because I were literally about to die...So close! And she saved me!
bro my reaction to robin appearing and singing was the same. i was losing my mind and would've screamed if it hadnt been like 2 am on a school night
