It feels really cathartic to be proven right with part 2. It ultimately was an attempt to rehabilitate Honkai's image to the public and "re-imagine" it for a wider casual audience, ergo their new Genshin/HSR normalfag patrons. If part 2's launch was actually successful, it was very likely that they will try and change part 1 too since some of the things there are probably too offensive and unsafe to the average normalnigger in 2025.
