THE 13 MINUTES IT TOOK FOR ME TO FIND THE UPLOAD WAS A NIGHTMARE AND THEN I WAS LEFT FEELING MISERABLE AND SAD BUT IT’S OK CAUSE KAFKAS BRIEF APPEARANCE GAVE ME HOPE FOR THE FUTURE BLESS UP
If this left you feeling mirserable.. you're not ready as this is still the relativity happy part of her history. Her Majesity is Titania the Empress of Glamoth. The same one that was used to clone firefly because of her unique power. Titanias dream is the same as fireflys but u know maybe they cover this in 1 more trailer so I'll the nitty gritty bits.
remember this is not even a true swarm outbreak, this was basically a remnant of a swarm without any Swarm Enamators present and it still wiped Glamoth out
Im gonna be honest, i don't deep dive into the lore, but before this i just pictured The Swarm to be scattered around the universe in , yknow, small swarms. This "small swarm" ended up being this in the video ... fully capable of wiping out an advanced civilization and then some. And then we have mfs like Ruan Mei trying to play god and bring their Aeon back.
@@muin2038 No, that's exactly the thing with the Iron Cavalry and their link to Titania who's their template, she commands the Cavalry like a hivemind and gave them dreams of glory of Glamoth and the knights are *incapable of normal dreams*
It's also a great choice. We as the player, know how tough that beetle boss can get. And the fyreflies are taking on the real thing so we feel the scope of how terrifying it is.
Trailblzaer fought it 56 seconds on the dot lone before it died and was about to blow up hertas space station like no big deal, still wondering what Ruan Mei's "assistance" wouldve been at that point
"Her Majesty" is Titania, the False Empress of Glamoth. Basically, she was an engineered woman from whom all the Fireflies were templated and who commanded them telepathically through dreams. She wasn't "real," though; her Empire was a motivational fantasy to keep the Iron Cavalry fighting while she was controlled by the ruling council of the Republic of Glamoth (who feared her realizing she could take power with the Iron Cavalry under her command). Basically, they weren't just fighting for something that was already dead like Firefly said; they were fighting and dying for something that never really existed at all.
What's more, the Fyrefly units were all 'Boy In The Incubator' and 'Girl In The Incubator' type of characters. Like all of the clones Otto had made, but with the sole purpose of fighting. It's a good thing for the universe they were aimed at the Swarm, otherwise who knows who or what might have survived in the end. Or perhaps it's in the hope of something good surviving, of life reasserting itself, that our Firefly was able to keep on fighting, you might say, "for all that is beautiful in the world." You can't convince me Firefly _isn't_ Kiana Kaslana in this game. She's a clone with great power that might kill her if she uses it too much, a being balancing her own destruction against that of the world she's trying to protect. "Kaslanas die, but never yield!" indeed. Maybe it wasn't originally her choice to take the oath, but it seems she did. Firefly is so much more than just a Glamoth Iron Cavalry, just like Kiana is more than just a Human with Herrscher powers. And for that, there will be those who will always, in turn, protect _her_ . People like Trailblazer... and Acheron. If they also met Bronya, then the Trio will again be together. Although Bronya needs to awaken to becoming an Emanator to be on their level for sure.
@BNuts Glad to see someone else also see the Kiana parrels. Heck they're both fire type characters with HP sacrificing mechanics (flamescion form best represents Kiana's personality in my opinion).
@@adc2422 I picked Firefly out as the Kiana on her first appearance, when they announced the faction representatives visiting for the Charmony Festival. I thought of Robin as either Kallen or Cecilia.
@@ElysiumEverlasting777 bro the whole reason nanook become and aeon is because after he saw the swarm disaster he start to belive literally everything in the universe is a mistake. So canonicly he must have saw the swarm disaster which was way back than few hundred years.
@@Pharos-j4gNanook's planet suffered an attack from Rubert's mechanical army, then a Swarm came before the planet can get a gasp of the situation. Its no wonder why he ascended, two of the worst universal disaster came at his doorstep at the same time
I love the fact that that the last teaser it was heading to a wholesome turn, and now this teaser just suddenly went to a dark turn, Firefly doesn't deserve this suffering
Was it really heading to a wholesome turn? If we take the timeline into account the teaser must've happened before the war on this planet. That's why the teaser is bittersweet
Firefly's animated short will become one of the highlights of HSR's lore, not only because it's good but because it clearly depicts the darkness of war and the light of salvation
And the Swarm Disaster's lore is somewhat connected to some Aeons like Nanook's ascension, Qlipoth, HooH, etc. So this short is pretty significant to HSR lore. overall.
To answer a few of your questions: 7:19 The majesty (Titania, its on the glamoth relic set) is the empresss that Glamoth army serves. 9:45 Everyone is probably gone, in the glamoth relic you can read that this actually happened thousands of years ago and its well known FF is the only known survivor
You know, maybe some of them survived and we just don't see them? (Firefly proceeds to annihilate the remaining swarm on the planet by destroying it) Oh...
"her majesty" is the empress of Glamoth, Titania she was the template for the Firefly clones and could apparently control them as a sort of soft hivemind
World? Not enough she deserves the entire hoyo multiverse.....and that still not enough. The deserves the multiverse of multiverses.....bro she deserves eternity She deserves everything that has existed and to ever exists. She deserves infinity!!!!
The sad part is that “the empress” was not a real empress. She was like a queen bee to keep all the soldiers united. Also even tho the war ended, the remains of asteroids and rubble blocked off sunlight which led to the slow death of the empire over time.
Firefly -Became the sole survivor of her kin -Fought off the 2nd Wave of the Swarm by herself -Eradicate the entire wave along with the planet Elio: Let's adopt her Kafka: Way ahead of you
Not really as i think the ending is just a metaphor cause if i recall Glamoth drove the Swarm away but couldn't recover from the aftermath and eventually faded away.
@izumolee6714 No, the glamoth civilization was wiped out by the swarm The ruler and leaders were long dead Only the iron calvary remained fighting an unending war Untill they were all gone save for her
@@izumolee6714 i believe not as firefly did say glamoth is already gone, meaning this might be after glamoth's fading like a mission to hunt down what is left of the swarm, to finish their makers effort to end the swarm
@@izumolee6714 As josh mentioned, the glamoth civilization was long since destroyed. The remnants of glamoth (the Iron Calvary) still kept fighting till the bitter end even though it was meaningless. Also, as Welt mentioned in 'Keeping up with Star Rail', Firefly's enhanced state (Deathstar Overload) is the manifestation of the pilot's "Iron will". Meaning FF's 'Iron will' to continue fighting till the bitter end, ended up manifesting the power to vaporize the remaining swarm along with the entire planet.
This is like Nier automata, all androids fight to serve humanity when humanity is already gone. A motivation that was a cover up for the lie they created
And funny you mention that considering Hoyo _did_ put an entire Nier Automata reference during Clara's companion quest (which made me cry), so I wouldn't be surprised if this took inspiration from that as well. Hoyo can't beat the Depression Impact allegations...
Btw Scorched earth operations( that lil detonator)was a Kamikazi move meant to literally scorch the entire planet killing everything on the surface of the planet including the firefly’s
I saw a comment on the TH-cam Trailer that said Pull for Firefly because she’s GF❌ Pull For Firefly because Sam is cool❌ Pull for Firefly because she’s a Stellaron Hunter❌ Pull for Firefly because she needs more friends✅ And that single-handedly convinced me because she really does need more friends😭
From the looks of it, after the first initial wave of Swarm was defeated. Firefly single handedly took on the 2nd wave by herself and took them out. What i recall from the lore the ending is just a metaphor of what happened after the war as even though Glamoth won they couldn't recover after and eventually faded away.
Except that Argenti didn't fight a whole swarm and neither did he killed the Giant Sting, all he did was gave the bug some ulcers to spit out the Express and his ship.
To think that Firefly, the survivor of Glamoth and swarmed planet destroyer, and Ruan Mei, the mad scientist who wanted to study emanators by making one of Propagation, are both in the next banner.... that's tough
9:47 glamoth is a interplanetary civilization, meaning they can already travel between planets in their star system according to fandom wiki. If we could theorize that if glamoth's homeplanet is destroyed and the unnamed planet firefly stood on(or the glamoth's homeplanet was the one firefly stood on) is destroyed too, there might be a possibility of another SAM soldiers that are survived the swarm attack on the another planet, which we can see at the end scene there is still an another planet.
This one takes place after the Myriad Celestia; Firefly has the hair ribbons. I don't think they got to meet up again... Interestingly, this means that Sam was not the first Stellaron Hunter. Elio worked with someone before recruiting Kafka, and Sam was there with Kafka when Blade was recruited. It was assumed that Sam came first. The Empress was "Titania", either a leader that telepathically controlled the Iron Cavalry, or a figurehead used Glamoth's government to control the Iron Cavalry. The Glamoth orb/rope have the story if you want to read it; the two stories conflict with one another on some parts, in a "this empire is long dead so we don't know" way. Glamoth "altered the essence of humanity" to "create a weapon born to fight"; clones or test-tube babies of some sort, since there are differences we can see between the SAM units. Titania sounds to me either an AI that controlled the soldiers, and caused them to eventually rebel (less likely given this trailer), or essetially a mythological figure for propaganda, like the human council in Nier Automata (yes we're here up in the moon, no you can't see us, and if you try to we'll kill you. Now go die down there taking back Earth).
March 7 was found in a block of ice in much the same way as Firefly in space, perhaps if the Astral Express had arrived there on time, we would have had Firefly on a completely different team than now.
Acheron and Firefly, both my most loved characters in HSR... both have lost everything... Why does my favorites characters have to be the one who suffered the most ? 😢
The evangelion references overloading my brain in this cinematic and just the emotions made me tear up so fast man PLEASE don’t kill her her off let us cherish her 😭 7:36
What the scariest part of this, Fu Xuan talk to us that "Tayzzyronth" swarm still alive, just sealed in the Amber Chamber and it will break free from the chamber because that what Fu Xuan see in the future. We just don't know when and how. If you asking the source, just google the Tayzzyronth and will lead you to the lore. Have fun reading.
Just a speculation, But I think the end had to do with Titania, her majesty. As firefly was the sole survivor not only of the Iron Calvary, and the Glamoth empire, she is also the sole surviving clone of Titania. Titania is known as the fairy queen, Firefly having wings at the end could signify the fact that she has become Titania somehow, which explains her powers being absurd at the end.
I did some research about Firefly before this animation was posted, and I was honestly got the impression that Trailblazer was the one who found Firefly in her Cryopod and recruited her, guess I was wrong. I was kind of hoping that we would see Stellaron Hunter Trailblazer in this animation.
The bodies are a whole. If you watch closely, some of them are just half buried or covered by something else. Nonetheless, it's really horrifying and sad story 😭
I will do everything to protect my dear Hotaru-chan (including E6 jk ... unless?) I've seen a comic on twitter of Caelus and Firefly where Caelus teaches Firefly to be more edgy by watching Blade and that's my headcannon for what happened between them!
It gives so much more of an impact as to why Firefly wants to define herself by who SHE is as a person, instead of being her mecha construct. She's spent her WHOLE LIFE being a weapon. Now she just wants to be a person.... Q.Q DON'T WORRY, FIREFLY! WE'LL TAKE CARE OF YOU. WE PROMISE Q~Q
It may be pointless but its good to notice that for some of the Fyreflies they were given a red shoal to conceal themself if they were uncomfortable being clothless since non are (not sure why unable to where the suit, anti entrophy loss probably) Firefly (Fyrefly) has been rebirthed, the only one to truly reached the peak, breaking free and create a life she wants by ending it all... Life... begets... death
actually those red shawls don't exist, glamoth wouldn't give a shit about them being uncomfortable in the nude since when they exit the suit they get the eva-like plugsuit anyway, what those were actually supposed to represent was damage to their bodies, Mihoyo had to be sneaky so that the animation wasnt age restricted, but you can be certain that whenever theres the red cloth, you can mentally replace it with blood and wounds
What caught my attention, is the fact that when Firefly was doing the power up to destroy the planet, almost looks like it was the reason she got entropy loss syndrome (if i didn't understood that the wrong way at least)
ELS is kinda a failsafe for when the Glamoth Iron Cavalry gets too much or they decide to rebel (which they did at the end of the war), which will basically kill them all.
If you mean the marks, they appeared on all other fireflies in the myriad celestia. I’m not quite sure if that’s a sign of the syndrome because they seem to appear exclusively when they’re in the suit. They start to manifest when they’re beginning to summon the armor and retract when they exit it. If that’s effectively a sign of the syndrome, then the last one who showed up was probably in a more advanced state since her marks didn’t disappear when she exited the suit
I called it. FKING CALLED IT. 😭😭😭😭😭 IT MAKES ME ESPRESSO DEPRESSO. also regarding "Her Majesty".. if I remember correctly, Glamoth was an empire..? This empire was ruled by an empress named Titania who built an iron fleet to bring everyone (I'm guessing the planet) under one rule, her rule. The Iron Fleet was born and raised to be Knights and to die. I guess when they had other wars they never question their existence bcs they had a purpose. To protect their empress and people, someone to return to. But this time, against the Swarm, there was nothing left...
something I noticed at 8:45 I don't think that's the swarm I think that's debris from the planet itself because the swarm had literally eaten everything and the planet was just a hollowed out husk so firefly's big explosion just put the planet to rest as they'd already taken everything else. Firefly you deserve the world.
This cinematic is exactly what happened to Meridia. Flying bugs coming out of the ground and having to destroy the planet to eradicate the super colony... Hotaru says: ⬆➡⬇⬇⬇
2:16 My favorite moment. She's in awe, in shock. She's not even a firm believer and she joins in on the pledge because what else can you do when your comrade goes completely and utterly last stand on an insane behemouth of...bad. The whole situation is primal, and her reaction to the sheer heaviness of it all is to react with what is at the core of her existence; and for her it's being a Glamoth Knight, for better or worse. Going through something like that is bound to give you a flash of insanity in the moment. Love that she looses it like that. Perfect absolute cinema moment.
The Queen who all pilots are based off is called Titania but we don’t know anything more about it. Anyone on the fence about pulling Firefly should be convinced by now Still confused about Kafkas appearance as Elio found Firefly and she was the first Stellaron Hunter
@@MegaApostel yes lol. Also I believe this trailer is more of a summary of what happened, condensed into 6 minutes. We can see in firefly's signature LC art that she drifted inside a pod instead of naked and glowing

remember this is not even a true swarm outbreak, this was basically a remnant of a swarm without any Swarm Enamators present and it still wiped Glamoth out

This is why the Swarm is much more dangerous than the Legion, their numbers are limitless. Kill one insects 2 more shall take it's place.

FIREFLY DESERVES SO MUCH LOVE AND SHE HAS ONE KF THE BEST ORUGIN STORIES I HAVE SEEN IN A WHILE!!!❤😭
I want to know what Numi is inhaling having the copium that the other 3 on Myriad Celestia was alive, girl really setting herself up to cry more
IT WASNT ME IT WAS THE COMMENTS FROM THE LAST VID 😭😭😭
Hoyo knows how to pull on the heart strings.
TOO MUCH AT THIS POINT I CAN HARDLY TAKE IT 😭
@@numiplusyou'll be happy when you bring her home.
The evangelion references overloading my brain in this cinematic and just the emotions made me tear up so fast man PLEASE don’t kill her her off let us cherish her 😭 7:36
What the scariest part of this, Fu Xuan talk to us that "Tayzzyronth" swarm still alive, just sealed in the Amber Chamber and it will break free from the chamber because that what Fu Xuan see in the future. We just don't know when and how.
If you asking the source, just google the Tayzzyronth and will lead you to the lore. Have fun reading.
I knew something was off since I saw the thumbnail... And when that MihoyoAnime logo came up... *HI3 animation short trauma flashbacks*
when an explosion occurs firefly looks like Grommash Hellscream vs Mannoroth
Shaoji tryin to hit us with depression yet again
Yes, we shall cry for Firefly...
each day goes by, and each night i cry 😭
It only gets worse 😭
NAURR my heart can’t take anymore man 🤧
finally seeing Kafka again after 20 long centuries 🎉
I MISSED HER SO MUCH
This teaser is by far the best animated short I've seen in HSR history next to Acherons.
Once firely started talking aboot scorched earth i started crying
"the short haired fyrefly type v guard will live 100%"
"Blows up planet"
Ffffffu-
TOLD YA ALL CALM BEFORE STORM THEY always post heartwarming on first video...
Ah yes, our daily dose of pain and agony... right on schedule!
And we have MORE after this 😭
As sick as this animation was I didn't expect it to be so dark and gruesome...ISTG THIS BETTER NOT BE ANOTHER RED FLAG...NOT FIREFLY...THEY CANT😭😭😭
Firefly is Glamoth's final living legacy.
;-;
Just a speculation, But I think the end had to do with Titania, her majesty. As firefly was the sole survivor not only of the Iron Calvary, and the Glamoth empire, she is also the sole surviving clone of Titania. Titania is known as the fairy queen, Firefly having wings at the end could signify the fact that she has become Titania somehow, which explains her powers being absurd at the end.
Literally gave me the chills
same ;-;
The music when the tree is sprouting might be my favourite piece from hoyo ever, i need a longer version of this
The HONKAI in HONKAI star rail is real the sequel sequel
bro whyd they have to drag us into the emo 😭
positive and wholesome ahh story 🤧
First Acheron now this? My wallet already got sucked dry by a black hole, now my bank account will be destroyed like that planet pulling for her
Numi AND UR GOAT RUAN MEI WANTS TO REVIVE THAT 😭
If Firefly knew what Ruan Mei is up to, ITS ON SIGHT.
Also something something women in STEM doing everything but getting therapy.
My baby hurting man, wtf
They better let her be happy with the trailblazer man 😭
PLEASE ;(
@@numiplusyou may like the 2.3 story then( maybe a hint I won’t say)
@@numiplusyou may also love sparkle( maybe a hint not sayin nothin)
Everyday without a Star Rail anime is torture.
I did some research about Firefly before this animation was posted, and I was honestly got the impression that Trailblazer was the one who found Firefly in her Cryopod and recruited her, guess I was wrong. I was kind of hoping that we would see Stellaron Hunter Trailblazer in this animation.
Our poor mecha pilot baby, hopefully she has a happy life in 2.3
The animation of the tree sprouting gives me such Ghibli vibes ❤
I knew it was too good to be true for some sort of happy ending with all the SAMs mannnnnnnnnnnn
The bodies are a whole. If you watch closely, some of them are just half buried or covered by something else. Nonetheless, it's really horrifying and sad story 😭
I THOUGHT SOME WERE TORN TO SHREDS 😭😭😭
8:00 thjey aren't technically trained to be killers, but soldiers.. quite a bit different if you think about it.
yeah… hella different :(
"Is this when Elio finds her?" lmao word for word what Mina said at the same time in her reaction
I will do everything to protect my dear Hotaru-chan (including E6 jk ... unless?)
I've seen a comic on twitter of Caelus and Firefly where Caelus teaches Firefly to be more edgy by watching Blade and that's my headcannon for what happened between them!
It gives so much more of an impact as to why Firefly wants to define herself by who SHE is as a person, instead of being her mecha construct. She's spent her WHOLE LIFE being a weapon. Now she just wants to be a person.... Q.Q
DON'T WORRY, FIREFLY! WE'LL TAKE CARE OF YOU. WE PROMISE Q~Q
I watched this when it was uploaded right away. I was absolutely heart broken for her as the only one... God damn
It may be pointless but its good to notice that for some of the Fyreflies they were given a red shoal to conceal themself if they were uncomfortable being clothless since non are (not sure why unable to where the suit, anti entrophy loss probably)
Firefly (Fyrefly) has been rebirthed, the only one to truly reached the peak, breaking free and create a life she wants by ending it all... Life... begets... death
actually those red shawls don't exist, glamoth wouldn't give a shit about them being uncomfortable in the nude since when they exit the suit they get the eva-like plugsuit anyway, what those were actually supposed to represent was damage to their bodies, Mihoyo had to be sneaky so that the animation wasnt age restricted, but you can be certain that whenever theres the red cloth, you can mentally replace it with blood and wounds
pain, so much pain 🥲
well...time to go destroy Tazzyronth in Simulated Universe a couple thousand more times.
What caught my attention, is the fact that when Firefly was doing the power up to destroy the planet, almost looks like it was the reason she got entropy loss syndrome (if i didn't understood that the wrong way at least)
It looks like her and another iron calvery person already had it in the last one.
ELS is kinda a failsafe for when the Glamoth Iron Cavalry gets too much or they decide to rebel (which they did at the end of the war), which will basically kill them all.
If you mean the marks, they appeared on all other fireflies in the myriad celestia. I’m not quite sure if that’s a sign of the syndrome because they seem to appear exclusively when they’re in the suit. They start to manifest when they’re beginning to summon the armor and retract when they exit it. If that’s effectively a sign of the syndrome, then the last one who showed up was probably in a more advanced state since her marks didn’t disappear when she exited the suit
@@porokichin7878 in other words, entropy loss syndrome is a sort of genetic breakdown
@@cortesyes Then it's genetic, not a virus or bacteria.
From the previous we did not see other firefly's mech so they maybe live 💀
heartwarming story right numi
NOOO my comment on the last video was incredibly wrong, guess we'll never see any others unless its a flashback..
Whoever that fella that goes after the True Stings....
You ARE a hero O7
I called it. FKING CALLED IT. 😭😭😭😭😭
IT MAKES ME ESPRESSO DEPRESSO.
also regarding "Her Majesty".. if I remember correctly, Glamoth was an empire..? This empire was ruled by an empress named Titania who built an iron fleet to bring everyone (I'm guessing the planet) under one rule, her rule.
The Iron Fleet was born and raised to be Knights and to die. I guess when they had other wars they never question their existence bcs they had a purpose. To protect their empress and people, someone to return to. But this time, against the Swarm, there was nothing left...
This trailer was brutal...
it hurt so bad 😭
Penacony is an uplifting and wholesome story amrite
If some of them left the planet somehow before scorch earth, there is chance someone may have survived
All I feel is sadness
Me who already saw the trailer: oh god Numi is gonna cry 😭
Why does this game make me cry every time
something I noticed at 8:45 I don't think that's the swarm I think that's debris from the planet itself because the swarm had literally eaten everything and the planet was just a hollowed out husk so firefly's big explosion just put the planet to rest as they'd already taken everything else. Firefly you deserve the world.
I think so, the swarm is know for just eating planets and Glamoth could very well be one of the planets in that
Grave of the "fireflies" 😢
You're so fast. It just released 25 minutes ago or so. Not to blame you, it was good, I'm gonna cry
THIS IS SO HEARTWARMING AND WHOLESOME STORY, THANK YOU MISTER SHAOJI 😂😂😂
Dang, didn't know SAM played Hell Divers 2.
This cinematic is exactly what happened to Meridia. Flying bugs coming out of the ground and having to destroy the planet to eradicate the super colony... Hotaru says: ⬆➡⬇⬇⬇
2:16 My favorite moment. She's in awe, in shock. She's not even a firm believer and she joins in on the pledge because what else can you do when your comrade goes completely and utterly last stand on an insane behemouth of...bad. The whole situation is primal, and her reaction to the sheer heaviness of it all is to react with what is at the core of her existence; and for her it's being a Glamoth Knight, for better or worse.
Going through something like that is bound to give you a flash of insanity in the moment. Love that she looses it like that. Perfect absolute cinema moment.
We're on the same page with Numi here. We all want to Firefly to be happy.
ya gurl has been throu alot numi
Gawd damn sam's cracked af, also guys we aint see em there so they aint dead 😊
y-yep..
maybe it's was because this remind me so much of nier automata I actually break down crying watching this
Ruan Mei: Guess I clone another Propagation 🤷
Oh WoW that was brutal... Much much more than expected.
The Queen who all pilots are based off is called Titania but we don’t know anything more about it.
Anyone on the fence about pulling Firefly should be convinced by now
Still confused about Kafkas appearance as Elio found Firefly and she was the first Stellaron Hunter
Well the pv doesnt show kafka saving firefly, so she just went ahead and go somewhere else after this trailer xD
@@retokazene5085 Kafka being personally there makes even more no sense as she wasn’t even alive when this happen
@@MegaApostel nah that just means firefly adrifted for who knows how long. Its not like kafka appears just after the planet destroyed
So Firefly drifted for over 100.000 years and not a single soul picked her up - ok
@@MegaApostel yes lol. Also I believe this trailer is more of a summary of what happened, condensed into 6 minutes. We can see in firefly's signature LC art that she drifted inside a pod instead of naked and glowing
Wow 23 seconds that's insane
