Ok so I'm fucking confused, I haven't been really playing since halfway through Penacony, but I've been unwiillingly spoiled on basically the entirety of Amphoreus by now. So.......


.......the entirety of Amphoreus is a a simulation, and everyone there (including the Chrysos Heirs) are just ai constructs and not real people? Okay so why all the fucking melodrama and shit I'm constantly seeing on social media over these characters? Why are we supposed to give a fiddlers fuck about any of these characters? I see people on social media crying about how "sad" the story is, shit like "OMG I HATE HOW THEY DID THIS TO PHAINON", like all these characters are just fucking AI right? Like why are we meant to care about them? Why the fuck does literally any of this entire plot matter? This entire drama centered around a literal simulated universe and simulated people. Like I dont understand why this entire story arc even matters or why I should care. It just seems like the writers wanted to make a super crazy twist (BRO ACTUALLY IT WAS ALL A SIMULATION BRO) but now it's like who cares about any of these characters, they're not even real (in universe)? What are even the fucking stakes here? Why are so many HSR fans crying over literal ChatGPT people? This is fucking stupid.

Also did we seriously just go through TWO story acs in a row set in a fake world? Holy fuck are we gonna go to a real planet again at some point in this fucking space adventure game? Fire Shaoji
