The part that messed me up the most in 2.3 was PomPom crying. Its the fact that he still remembers and never forgot all the memories he had with the OG crew after lord knows how many years...that really got to me. 😭
Misha, Tiernan, Rozalina arent really the OG crew, but its still so sweet that despite many Trailblazers departing and arriving in the express, Pompom still remembers every passenger and remembers their time with them and how much they still cherish them even after, to my knowledge, 400 years!
Me too, and I was really missing people actually properly reacting to that part, I feel like everyone just brushed it off because of not taking Pom-Pom seriously At least Molly Zhang (Seele's VA) reacted similarly to me

I REALLY wanted more from Topaz when she was in the room with her two Oshii's with Jade and Himeko together beside her. I was expecting her to melt into a puddle, such a missed opportunity.
All jokes aside Mina, I'm praying for you and your family after losing your uncle. I know what it like to lose someone close to you. Just wanted you to know we're here for you.
5:50 I feel like Numi's forgetting that Firefly is a wanted criminal fugitive across a whole galaxy, that's also trying their hardest to keep their identity secret. Her avoiding other people as much as possible is very much intentional on writer's part. Her and Stellaron Hunters are just meant to hide in the shadows pretty much all the time
It really helps that Mina overanalyze and Numi just take it at surface level, it gives 2 very diff perspective. I was Mina this time bc I also adore Robin, her character was really laid out in this patch. And Numi, we did say goodbye to Robin, please play the side quest called Check Out. I would love the two of you to compete in the candy crush event too lol
There were, thankfully, a lot of great interactions between Stelle Firefly Silver Wolf and Robin during the origami birds battle event. So if you haven't played through it yet I highly suggest doing so.
Remember to support the patreon when this inevitably gets demonetized, you get wonderful things like weekly QnA videos where you get to watch Mina and Numi get distracted on every question!
that group chat was amazing, i loved that part of the story. the interaction between characters is nice to see edit: also that part when numi said about the trailblazer's past is going to be thrilling. their life as a stellaron hunter is so interesting
I agree with Numi Black Swan is heavy hinted to go with us to the new planet in 3.0 but you never know. I mean she literally says that she wants to work together there but dunno if she will go with us to Luofu would love it.
At the end of the world quest after the epilogue, Trailblazer counts Black Swan as a member "for now" (or something along those lines) on the astral express that she can potentially play Celestial Jade with so I hope that's basically confirmation for it
The new world might require us to have Black Swan atleast like "unlock" it for us, she describes it as follows "A world hidden from outside observation, it's presence only revealed by the light from the mirror of the Garden of Recollection" Like if Akivili hasn't been there there's a good chance an Emanator of the Rememberance needs to let us in.
Girls did you saw the theory that Black Swan is related to Razalina? In the little photo Gallagher leave for us on the Express, you can see the "Mirror Princess" holding a blue rose. Now check Black Swan light cone art.
I love that 2 hours after this was posted, the manga Numi highlighted just got another chapter released, I imagine lots of new people will be reading it asap.
If this is "strapped in," are we "sheetheads"? "Executive bedbugs"? You know, just there, hanging out, throwing a word of encouragement here and there. "Ganbarre. Remember to hydrate."
A lot of people missed Robin's part in 2.3 because as Mina said, none of it is ever direct. The veiled conversation with Jade, Oti's reaction, her emphasis when talking about the Trailblaze, it's all indirect. It made me love her character more.
15:50 Mc came from literally a bomb and may even explode any second March came from ice block Dan heng came from an egg with whole planet taunting him ( blade specifically) March is the easiest one cope no one know about her past no-one is coming for her there's nothing strange about her body ( for now) they may add some dark backstory so she will be like the mc and dan heng (i think being a bomb and blade taunting you is worse than nothing)
40:45 The really interesting thing with March being able to even just resist the influence of the order, is that Black Swan couldn't. She needed some sort of outside influence to allow her to realize her mind was being messed with. whereas March realized and resisted it almost passively.
About 17:07, there's a side quest in which the player can say goodbye to Robin and I think it's a pretty good ending to her part in Penacony. I agree that it's weird how this wasn't written into the main quest, just one scene, pretty deep into an entirely missable side quest, but at the very least it exists. The quest is called Checking Out, it's the one you recieve from the Astral Express group chat, once you finish the main quest. I recommend playing it, since it has lots of other cameos as well, not just her.
For the Acheron part I did not pick all of the options and I still got the scene. So you don't have to pick every single one, just specific ones it seems.
I think Black Swan is likely going to come with us for the next arc of the story because there's a lot of hints towards Black Swan being Razalina (especially with their shared motifs of shattered glass and if you look at the Clockie cartoons) and that could be a really interesting plot element if it comes into play next arc of the story.
Mina Sunday wanted to plunge everyone into an infinite tsukuyomi where the order controls it all, even people's emotions. Sunday was a scary villain, I think the scarier villain we've seen so far in the game. Mina March had a dream about a tentacle xad
I feel like it really depends on who it’s for. Mans honestly writes like a dnd DM you have a list of events laid out and as long as you get the players to those points with as few problems as humanly possible you win
Sparkles text actually say that she planned all three of Fireflys "deaths" to not be fatal and to be as painless as possible. Sparkle sends TB and Firefly into the memory zone in 2.0, she knew the Meme was harmless as implied with her interactions with Adventurine. 2.2's death I need to go back and watch again but I suspect she influenced Sunday as she was pretending to be Robin (This one is weird cause it happens off screen and Acheron is the one who tells us). 2.3 is just the ending with the fireworks. So Director Sparkle made PEAKCONY.
The story made it REALLY vague as to what Robin did in 2.3 and it takes a lot of reading back to figure out. Robin's deal with Jade: Robin gave her the information that the Family's protection is gone and people can really die in the dream now, so that Jade can threaten Oti saying that IPC will publicize "false" news that Penacony isn't safe any more. That was the "poison dew" given by Robin that Jade was using against Oti. What Robin was nervous about: she was exposing the truth about the Watchmaker. The very truth that the Family was so hell-bent on concealing. And then she just goes ahead and spills the beans ON THE CHARMONY FESTIVAL. Robin essentially made the Family her enemy in 2.3 and I'm very sure her story isn't over. I mean we aren't comfortable leaving Penacony in the hands of Oti and the IPC for sure. Really looking forward to future Robin story.
i don't think we are going directly to zhuming, i think it will just be some new maps on luofu maybe? cuz the tournment is hosted by the luofu from the trailer
Unironically, I think they didn't want Firefly interacting with anyone else because they very clearly are actually canon romantically linking her with Caelus/Stelle in a way they never have done before with the PC in any of their games where we have a self-insert PC, and the Eastern audience seems to think literally any communication with a person other than that person is them cheating on us.
They did that with acheron and black swan, blade and kafka , bronya and seele , herta and scruwllem, topaz and aventurine and there's even yanqing and the new hunt physical character sometimes it's a focused relationship
@@mistro504 "With the PC," who many people self-insert as. But even if I wasn't talking about with the player character, they absolutely did not do it overtly the way they've done with Firefly/Trailblazer where we're descending through the air holding hands with fireworks in the background. It's all just yuribait stuff like the phone call in Penacony.
please dont put both trailblazers in game i feal that the universe will be in more danger that the swarm or the destruction ever could. rip trash cans, origami birds and chests
50:43 on the genshin story part with the twins, I loved the scene and I believe them not remembering is a sign of how powerful the loom of fate is. That it can affect even descenders. (Yes it hurts that they can’t remember a brief moment together)
It's not that it hurts, it's that it undercuts the meaning it could have. The PC doesn't have any heightened motivation because they got so close. They don't even know it happened. The scene would have much more power if they got split up, and our PC knew they got split up, and thus was more driven than ever to finally find a way to reunite once and for all. But none of that can happen because it's a live service game and they don't want to start a new story. So it ended up being emotional manipulation for the sake of emotional manipulation with no actual development of the grander arc so we can keep screwing around in a new location each x.0 without being like, screw that, we're finding our brother/sister no matter and not getting sidetracked anymore. This is actually the edge HSR has. The PC here is just kind of vibing along with everyone else on the Express, Quantum Leaping from place to place helping the locals, not on a search for their lost sibling. There doesn't ever really need to be an endgame that they have to artificially prevent us from reaching and the game can just keep going without it feeling as contrived as the no memory thing did in Genshin 4.7.
The triple confirmation. At 2.2 we're thinking "wait, is he dead?" Then at 2.3 story it's implied but we're not 100% sure, kinda like Tingyun. Then the note just confirms he's dead. Ngl I spammed the dialogue so I skipped the note. So I only saw the content from their videos
Am i the only one who thinks Robin didn’t make a deal with pawnshop jade? To me, she gave jade the information that the family lost the ability to protect people from death in the dream because the order fell. Jade even says she got the information from a girl really concerned with the harmony
Jade visits Sunday at the end of 2.3 explicitly because she’s honoring a deal with Robin, the price most likely being the intel (which could ruin Penacony and allow the IPC to steamroll all over the Dreamscape if things didn’t work out the way they did).

tf is an oshii
@@Acheron-IX yoshi
It's a Japanese term for your idol.@@Acheron-IX
Topaz might have been a puddle in her heart but maintained professionalism due to her job and to impress her Oshiis
All jokes aside Mina, I'm praying for you and your family after losing your uncle.
I know what it like to lose someone close to you. Just wanted you to know we're here for you.
5:50 I feel like Numi's forgetting that Firefly is a wanted criminal fugitive across a whole galaxy, that's also trying their hardest to keep their identity secret.
Her avoiding other people as much as possible is very much intentional on writer's part. Her and Stellaron Hunters are just meant to hide in the shadows pretty much all the time
It really helps that Mina overanalyze and Numi just take it at surface level, it gives 2 very diff perspective.
I was Mina this time bc I also adore Robin, her character was really laid out in this patch.
And Numi, we did say goodbye to Robin, please play the side quest called Check Out.

The new world might require us to have Black Swan atleast like "unlock" it for us, she describes it as follows
"A world hidden from outside observation, it's presence only revealed by the light from the mirror of the Garden of Recollection"
Like if Akivili hasn't been there there's a good chance an Emanator of the Rememberance needs to let us in.

In the little photo Gallagher leave for us on the Express, you can see the "Mirror Princess" holding a blue rose. Now check Black Swan light cone art.

"The worst thing that can happen in this game is liking a plot-relevant 4*"
"We love March"
Surely this ends well
29:23 same bro. curse our empathic bloodline 😭
If this is "strapped in," are we "sheetheads"?
"Executive bedbugs"? You know, just there, hanging out, throwing a word of encouragement here and there. "Ganbarre. Remember to hydrate."
fuck it, I'm down to be called a Strapian
Goodbye Peaknacoy, hope we be back here again in the future updates with new story
Reading Miyagi's and Sendai's antics before bed is very pleasant
A lot of people missed Robin's part in 2.3 because as Mina said, none of it is ever direct. The veiled conversation with Jade, Oti's reaction, her emphasis when talking about the Trailblaze, it's all indirect. It made me love her character more.
WE ARE SO BACK
everyone - "acheron yaps too much"
everyone - "why did they make acheron stuff optional"
15:50
Mc came from literally a bomb and may even explode any second
March came from ice block
Dan heng came from an egg with whole planet taunting him ( blade specifically)
March is the easiest one cope no one know about her past no-one is coming for her there's nothing strange about her body ( for now) they may add some dark backstory so she will be like the mc and dan heng (i think being a bomb and blade taunting you is worse than nothing)
Wow, noomi knows her stuff! The Elysia stuff was, indeed ,chapter 30 of HI3rd. And then Mina brushed it off 😓
40:45 The really interesting thing with March being able to even just resist the influence of the order, is that Black Swan couldn't. She needed some sort of outside influence to allow her to realize her mind was being messed with. whereas March realized and resisted it almost passively.
10:57 Counter point, Numi. Himeko. Chapter 9.
Sunday was a villain but a sympathetic villian
About 17:07, there's a side quest in which the player can say goodbye to Robin and I think it's a pretty good ending to her part in Penacony. I agree that it's weird how this wasn't written into the main quest, just one scene, pretty deep into an entirely missable side quest, but at the very least it exists. The quest is called Checking Out, it's the one you recieve from the Astral Express group chat, once you finish the main quest. I recommend playing it, since it has lots of other cameos as well, not just her.
Warning though, the MC acts like a total idiot, and it's not optional. I'm dying inside the whole time
For the Acheron part I did not pick all of the options and I still got the scene. So you don't have to pick every single one, just specific ones it seems.
I think Black Swan is likely going to come with us for the next arc of the story because there's a lot of hints towards Black Swan being Razalina (especially with their shared motifs of shattered glass and if you look at the Clockie cartoons) and that could be a really interesting plot element if it comes into play next arc of the story.
Impressive work making it almost 3 minutes into the video without making any strap jokes!
1:12:21 I feel like I ascended when I heard Lynn and Ichinose Kana voiced Miyagi and Sendai for the 2 PVs of Shuukura 😭
omg I would love to see Sunday joining the Stellaron Hunters!!
As soon as I heard wholesome i’m like it’s jover bc I knew they wouldn’t make it
Making Acheron's goodbye scene an option side quest was such a dumb choice but I'm glad I didn't miss it. I feel bad for Numi 😢
Mina Sunday wanted to plunge everyone into an infinite tsukuyomi where the order controls it all, even people's emotions. Sunday was a scary villain, I think the scarier villain we've seen so far in the game.
Mina March had a dream about a tentacle xad
Can’t wait!
My theory of HSR twin is that Elio is the second twin... and we are their modified clone.
Don’t worry Numi. I’m right there with you on the Gallagher death mention crying. Even tho he’s on my team it still hurts
Call us "Enablers" cuz thats what i feel like during the yuri section
Oh damn the Plastic Memories deep cut
My favourite take-away from this patch is that if Elio’s Script is vague enough, you can manipulate the heck out of it 😂
I feel like it really depends on who it’s for.
Mans honestly writes like a dnd DM you have a list of events laid out and as long as you get the players to those points with as few problems as humanly possible you win
Sparkles text actually say that she planned all three of Fireflys "deaths" to not be fatal and to be as painless as possible.

So Director Sparkle made PEAKCONY.
33:15 I mean I assume everyone that is part of the IPC is at best a morally grey person
The story made it REALLY vague as to what Robin did in 2.3 and it takes a lot of reading back to figure out.
Robin's deal with Jade: Robin gave her the information that the Family's protection is gone and people can really die in the dream now, so that Jade can threaten Oti saying that IPC will publicize "false" news that Penacony isn't safe any more.

Unironically, I think they didn't want Firefly interacting with anyone else because they very clearly are actually canon romantically linking her with Caelus/Stelle in a way they never have done before with the PC in any of their games where we have a self-insert PC, and the Eastern audience seems to think literally any communication with a person other than that person is them cheating on us.
They did that with acheron and black swan, blade and kafka , bronya and seele , herta and scruwllem, topaz and aventurine and there's even yanqing and the new hunt physical character sometimes it's a focused relationship
@@mistro504 "With the PC," who many people self-insert as.
But even if I wasn't talking about with the player character, they absolutely did not do it overtly the way they've done with Firefly/Trailblazer where we're descending through the air holding hands with fireworks in the background. It's all just yuribait stuff like the phone call in Penacony.
were not going to the zhuming we will be in the loufu since they said the loufu are the host we'll just characters from the zhuming and yaoqing
please dont put both trailblazers in game i feal that the universe will be in more danger that the swarm or the destruction ever could. rip trash cans, origami birds and chests
50:43 on the genshin story part with the twins, I loved the scene and I believe them not remembering is a sign of how powerful the loom of fate is. That it can affect even descenders. (Yes it hurts that they can’t remember a brief moment together)
It's not that it hurts, it's that it undercuts the meaning it could have. The PC doesn't have any heightened motivation because they got so close. They don't even know it happened. The scene would have much more power if they got split up, and our PC knew they got split up, and thus was more driven than ever to finally find a way to reunite once and for all. But none of that can happen because it's a live service game and they don't want to start a new story. So it ended up being emotional manipulation for the sake of emotional manipulation with no actual development of the grander arc so we can keep screwing around in a new location each x.0 without being like, screw that, we're finding our brother/sister no matter and not getting sidetracked anymore.
This is actually the edge HSR has. The PC here is just kind of vibing along with everyone else on the Express, Quantum Leaping from place to place helping the locals, not on a search for their lost sibling. There doesn't ever really need to be an endgame that they have to artificially prevent us from reaching and the game can just keep going without it feeling as contrived as the no memory thing did in Genshin 4.7.
Morally Gray villian=well written villian
Closets well get cuz hoyo can’t give us villains even then morally gray doesn’t always mean that their a good villain
The worst part about Gallagher was the note he left us on the Express' table, it was so messed up of them to do that 🥲
The triple confirmation. At 2.2 we're thinking "wait, is he dead?" Then at 2.3 story it's implied but we're not 100% sure, kinda like Tingyun. Then the note just confirms he's dead.
Ngl I spammed the dialogue so I skipped the note. So I only saw the content from their videos
@@bruh10246yeah I don't think there's an option to reread it, I wish they put it on our bookshelves 😢
LETS GO WE'RE BACK
I lost my 50-50 in WuWa and been saving Jinhsi since~~
How am I just noticing their devil/angel aesthetic?
Yippee! I saw my name!
wait does Numi's model not have arms?
If the show is called strapped in, does that make the community the harness?
ironically i actually know another podcast that called their fans Tims already lol. (Hello Internet)
Why numi avatar size is smaller than mina? It looks like mina is more zoomed in than numi😅
the melons would look bigger
Just called us listeners idk I'm boring XD
Call us pegs
I find myself staring at Mina's hand a bit too much
Strappers
Shall we be the official Yuripeans??
How about calling us Straplets?
I don’t wanna be a Tim xd ;-; (maybe Tim tams) we `can be yanqing mains xd… no for real Gallaghers (pst he was my fave in penacony)
not a Dorothy but i am one of her friends 😆
The fireworks ending was so Lycoris Recoil. That's exactly what I thought of too.
Plz not the TIm. I submit Strapezoids as a name. Just something other than Tim
Timmy
한국어? ㅋㅋ
Am i the only one who thinks Robin didn’t make a deal with pawnshop jade? To me, she gave jade the information that the family lost the ability to protect people from death in the dream because the order fell. Jade even says she got the information from a girl really concerned with the harmony
Jade visits Sunday at the end of 2.3 explicitly because she’s honoring a deal with Robin, the price most likely being the intel (which could ruin Penacony and allow the IPC to steamroll all over the Dreamscape if things didn’t work out the way they did).
