Good thing, I am here to witness the very moment a /u/ thread that will last a very long time is created.

2 months is a ‘very long time’?

the rare and elusive LucyBelle(Bellcy?) art

Belle collecting girls like Pokemon

>>4436220
Its crazy how this isn't a bigger ship when Lucy's dad gave them his blessing

>>4436312

>>4436313

This was a very cute moment between these two https://youtu.be/pbaU6USe1Nw?si=B_SIs6c1d4I5aD2p

suityabi and dressnagi....

>>4436172
After all the concern people had seeing Aglaea with men, it's absolutely hilarious to see her end up with the catgrl thief.

>>4436381
Tragically Anaxa is still her most popular ship, owing to both hets and losers who take "found family" as an excuse to go "that's incest!! >:("

Of course anyone with sense and reading comprehension can tell her relationship with Cipher is infinitely more compelling on every level, but sadly such things are also in short supply.

>>4436381
Her most popular ship to this day is with Anaxa so you're not really winning here

>>4436355
Are they only popular because of the fanarts? They act more like mother and silent daughter and that's it.

>>4436451
In game Miyabi is more into Belle than anyone

>>4436451
i've never seen someone refer to miyanagi as mother/daughter before

>>4436531
They just don't act like flirty and not even serious.

It feels good when your ship is canon

Speaking of which'

how do you all feel about ineffa?

>>4436663
It's nice that Aigis is getting work after P3R, but I feel like she could do better.

>>4436661
Half the replies are just calling them adopted family.

>>4436755

>>4436447
>>4436404
You’re in the wrong genre if popularity matters this much to you

>>4436824
All people are doing is pointing out how she didn't in fact end up with Cipher. Its not popularity people are pointing but the fact that you're not right. You can ship but let's not be delusional like hey players here.

>>4436824
Aren't you the one being delusional with saying they ended up together? You can ship but let's not be delusional like het players here anon.

>>4436824
In a genre where they basically never commit to actually defining character relationships, "ending up with" becomes a matter of public opinion, ie. Popularity, ergo...

Of course, I'll be happy just so long as Aglaea/Cipher keeps getting fanwork despite that "loss."

>>4436750
This shit is fucking annoying though. Like, they are family, but I know most people saying that are just trying to deflect from the romantic implications of their relationship.

>>4436902

>>4436905
Anon there's 0 romantic implications

>>4436906
Didn’t mean to reply to anon

These two were so cute

Name an image that describes Citlali better

>>4436907
If it’s 0 for them then it’s 0 for every single pair from HSR barring FF x Stelle

>>4436925
Saving primos while coping that we'll see Jeht again in Nod Krai and she'll be playable

>>4436911
Was a nice treat in the middle of that questline. Actually saved the cutscene where she comes in to grab her friend so excitedly, it was really cute.

>>4436631
>>4436652
Wow, surprised to see so much fanart of these two. Their questline was real cute too.

Anyone else have like, an NPC rarepair they like? I've got a thing for Alrani/Narzam, the tortured Akademia scholar and the treasure hunter who semi-consensually imprisons her.

>>4437004
One of my favorite NPCs in Baishi. She's probably the oldest gay NPC Hoyo ever made

>>4437587

I still wonder how women Cipher, Jade, Feixiao, and Lingsha have a team line for Stelle but characters like Hook, HuoHuo, ans Natasha. Stelle's relationship with these characters is so much deeper.

>>4437792
Every single new units get an "Added to a team with TB" line. They just suffer from being old.

>>4437796
Just checked and the "newest" unit who don't have a party line for Stelle is Boothill from 2.2
Every one since has one

>>4437796
>>4437800
You'd think they would reflect the story with the fact that they have a line for the TB. Some of them I can't remember really even talking to the TB that much to warrant one.

https://x.com/KitsuneBoi_/status/1931426004494684518

i actually really like skork and lumine. both of them being weird aliens that dont belong here has a lot of potential

>>4438275
Im glad fanart of them are being drawn

>>4438664

>>4438666

The myriad celestia featuring Acheron (who only showed up for 2 seconds) was the biggest nlothingburger possible. Just another "look at the generic bad guys you will only see in 10 years" like the IPC and Everflaming mansion videos. And now Acheron's lore and plot are tied to some shitty male who fans keep sucking off and shipping with her. It's just another Crapitano x Mavuika. Nothing about Frebass. This is the worst direction they could have taken.
Hoyo really never fails to disappoint. At this point I won't be surprised if they add another Otto expy at the Yae planet, concidering how much they now love to shill males and tie women to them

Belle Viv fanart is still almost daily make it happen Hoyo

>>4438702
I won't lie it was kinda sad seeing all the women have a male right there besides them in the whole trailer. But hey I don't really care. Now that HSR is adding a skip button I won't have to bother reading must of the boring stories. I haven't touched the main story since meeting Castorice and Aglaea. The new planet has been so boring to get through.

>>4438707
People love girlfailure lesbians with cool designs, Just look at Furina.

>>4438702
>some shitty male who fans keep sucking off and shipping with her.
Calm down sis, you're inventing people to be mad at over nothing. Only thing I've seen concerning Acheron and Zephyro is jokes about them tag-teaming the black hole plushie, hardly "shipping."

Anyway, Celenova hot. Would be nice to see some fanart of her paired with Phantylia.

>>4438702
>fans
Who? Take it easy

>>4439077
>Phantylia
I laughed when she showed up and tried to look threatening. All I could think about was how she's nothing more than 1 beginner boss that no grinds against and only fights to taste how string their characters are. She reminds me of Childe in that regard. And issue with bringing back old villains is how do you make them threatening after players have already beaten them already.

>>4439077
Redditors are already shipping them like they did to Crapitano and Mavuika.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mfXQ420ZL3s

>>4439644
I can't wait for 5 star March to remind everyone who Stelle's real wife is. Still it's nice they went the poly route at the end

Its crazy how StelFly is seeing a big increase in popularity. The ship is almost passing Starch in fanfics and fanarts.

Only just now getting around to doing the last Star Rail patch's story right before the new one drops, and I'm surprised I hadn't seen anyone talking about the in-game Cerces/Mnestia fanfiction you can read.

Actually uses she/her pronouns for both of them too, unlike how the Titans are usually referred to neutrally.

>>4440199
No one really cares to actually play the Star Rail story

>>4440199
Mentioned in these two chains last thread
>>4421303
>>4422442
I posted the former since I go through new readables whenever we get preload to bide my time until beta/patch

>>4440330
>Jeht allusion in the recent event
Bring her back dammit

>>4440385
I feel like she'll come back in Nod Krai. I know I'm huffing a big bag of hopium here but I hope she comes back with a slightly altered look so that she can be playable

>>4440390
>Jeht becomes playable but her gayness is toned down and her toes are covered.

You've won, but at what cost?

>>4440399
Toned down doesn't mean completely gone. It's not like the hetfags aren't gonna say she's bi/straight either way. They could make her have an intense make out session with Lumine and just shake Aether's hand and they'd still think it was because she was too embarrassed to kiss him as well.

>>4440399
I hate that is the expectation, and I cannot with any sincerity dispute that it's what would happen.

Fucking het waifufags.

If these two don't meet Hoyo fucked up

>>4437957

>>4440499

Interesting

>>4440454
Stuff like this makes wish we had a cast following us across Teyvat. Plenty of the cool gals don't have much going on for them or are looking for a fresh start. Why not take narrative advantage of that?

>>4440892
The anecdotes were a step in the right direction, but i agree, Genshin lacked the core party the other games have, ZZZ doesnt seem like its gonna have one but Belle and her agent connections start to form a big kinda of family which is nice

>>4440918
The issue ZZZ has sometimes is that it tends to feel too episodic. Like chapter 1 could take place in chapter 3 and nothing would really change much. The game plays it too safe when it comes to it's writing.

>>4440892
Honestly Lumine could really do with another travel companion. Even her little saurian added something new to the team. If they really wanted to make Skirk the biggest marketed character they should've made her join Lumine's team. Or they should've allowed Jeht to join. Jeht to me would've made the most sense. Traveling around with her gf that would never betray her like all the others in her life would've just worked. Like with the Express having more characters keeps conversations moving and allows the player to hear more than 1 voice, since the MC doesn't talk much.

>>4440454

>>4440933
One thing I love about this artist is that they are probably the #1 StelPaz shipper

>>4440933
Ganqiing's still a thing?

>>4440932
I remember some anons saying that apparently in some leak that Amber was gonna accompany us across Teyvat but it got scrapped..

Man, Cerydra's kit is so underwhelming. I really thought she could save my bricked Aglaea but they literally have no synergy and it feels like she's just gonna end up like Fagqiu who only has 1 team. Idk why her kit has so many setbacks compared to normal action advancers, she's the first harmony unit that also relies on another harmony unit to be useful.

Anyways, please tell me this is the last patch we'll see Fagnon(for a while atleast), I really don't want to have anymore yap sessions with him.

>>4441844
The guy is so boring. I'm not against male characters and like a couple of them, but I honestly don't get the hype with that guy

https://x.com/ZZZ_EN/status/1940244082401714577?t=IVkpff2Iidy2vAoMIxp-oQ&s=19

>>4441844
Yeah it’s insane how Robin, Sunday, and Tribbie can get away with the most universal strong shit in their kits while Cerydra is intentionally gimped and has half a dozen limitations and shit uptime on her main gimmick (and the buff that comes with it).
To top it off she has negative synergy with Hysilens because they decided they’d to not only lock her to triple dot (can try and cope with Robin instead of BS) but to also have her get absolutely no value from her skill being recast by Cerydra.

Can finally have these two facing each other
>>4441844
>>4441924
And yeah it should be the last patch with him as the main focus. Story has actually been really fun this patch thanks to Cyrene, and also M7 showing up at long last as well as next patch basically 100% having more of M7+ Hysilens and Cerydra should also finally show up.

>>4441937
>Cyrene
The game killed by interest in her by making her so connected to discount Kevin. People only ship her with him in the game

>>4441931
Not sure what you're getting at with this post.

>>4442032
I didn’t have any hoped left for her but Cyrene is shipped infinitely more with Stelle this patch, I was quite surprised.

These two have me in a fucking chokehold. I don't think I've been this keen on a ship since SuleMio.

Someone help me.

>>4441844
He is a writers self insert and Kevin kaslana copy so of course its not the last time he for sure will get few more patches its such a shame we are wasting budget on him instead of a cute girl

>>4442187
Why? I don't feel like the ship was all that interesting in game

>>4442263
I mean its pretty good

>>4442263
Hooked me in pretty quick. Cipher's introduction hinting at their history wasn't much of a start, but 3.3 was just loaded. Starting off with Aglaea's last words (in her living body anyway) wondering if Cipher would miss her, the subsequent bitter farewell between Cipher and the nymph, her flashbacks to meeting and being taken in by Aglaea, her character stories telling how before those, Aglaea first found her passed out drunk after she broke into her shop, and it was her gratitude and love for Aglaea that motivated her to become the Demigod of Trickery, all leading up to the ultimate reveal about her tricking the entire city into believing in a sun that wasn't there, tragically staying away from her home to maintain that illusion, and her final trick on herself, the lie of being able to tell Aglaea everything on her death bed, and be praised for her heroics, reaching out to take her hand and pass on. Them being listed as "Partners" on the relationship chart, and this bit from Cipher's magazine:
>Don't miss your shot at a loving and wealthy lady with a soft spot for strays!

I'm just a little obsessed.

Didn't expect all the March 7th x Cyrene flirting, new ship acquired.

>>4442332
One person says its Cyrene x Stelle now you're saying its Cyrene x March. I'm guessing in game there's probably not much in game

>>4442270
Different anon but all I got was they felt like siblings. Maybe its because Cipher isn't much of a character to me to see it as anything more

Honestly I'm surprised some anons here play the HSR story. This new planet almost killed the game for so many people with how bad the storytelling is. I stopped playing until they introduced the skip button. The characters are all so lifeless and bland. Plus I can take people standing around talking looking so expressionless for so long. Its like all the life in the story was sucked out of it since part 2 of Penacony

>>4442406
I believe people who actually read the HSR story have some form of autism. There's no rather other way someone can focus on the story other than that

>>4442406

>>4442406
>>4442413
While it sucks that there’s jack shit for yuri beyond Cipher and Aglaea (and Menstia Cerces), I like Amphoreus’s story more than anything else in HSR.

>>4442400
>all I got was they felt like siblings.
You have fallen from the path.

>>4442418
There's barely any yuri between them unless you're looking really hard anon. Stop trying to force that pairing on people

>>4442441
If that whole autistic rant a few posts up is what you think of as "looking really hard" you're probably in the wrong genre.

>>4442418
>I like Amphoreus’s story more than anything else in HSR
This is why we'll never get nice things like Belle x Vivian in HSR. Retards like this happily accept shit storytelling. When the fans are this easily entertained why should Hoyo ever try.

>>4442443
How does one confuse not liking the storytelling of a game with the genre of a game? If I said I didn't like the writing of the last Star Wars movie does that now mean I don't like the syfy genre as a whole?

>>4442447

>>4442449

I didn't know Belle and Elfy were so close

>>4442452

>>4442445
Yuri. I was talking about the conventions inherent to a lot of yuri.

Maybe "fandom" or some such would have been a better word than "genre", since outside genre-romances that's not really what it is, but whatever, I just woke up.

What's with the waifufag here who complains about every ship that doesn't involve the MC?

>>4442468
Literally no one is complaining about any ships.

>>4442458
Anon fandom doesn't even work either

>>4442475
Which is why I didn't use it either. It just would have been relatively less inaccurate.

>>4442468
Wait what do you have against people shipping characters with the MC? So now I'm a waifufag because I like Ellen x Belle? I don't get people who use that word when in a gacha game thread. I mean you, me, and damn near everyone else here spend pulls on female characters we like. Sometimes people put money into these characters. To that extent many people here can be seen as waifufags.

>>4442444
Nice things like one-sided obsessions?

>>4442481
Its not even one sided
https://youtu.be/7M6rIgcaBTE?si=W3thIrbo_OpWZJzU

>>4442482
>Doesn't even have Qiqi's girlfriend
What does this have to do with/u/?

>>4442441
>looking really hard
Maybe if you skipped the story.
You sure sound like those faggots that have an agenda against the pairing because of the age gap, "they’re mother-daughter", or because it actually has substance unlike the one semi-friendly scene Aglaea x Anaxa shippers got.
>>4442444
FF x Stelle is enough, they should get more screentime (ideally by punting that faggot Sunday off the Express and bringing FF in) and the rest of the characters should have their own pairings.
Vivian is still fresh anyway, let’s hope she doesn’t get as little screentime as FF got in the year (almost) after her story.

>>4442495
I'm confused what Stelle x FF has to do with what anon said

>>4442494
Its cute. Who made you the police of what can and can't be posted here, especially when some of the board are people just arguing with each other. Fuck off

>>4442499
The subject was MC x Character ships? Which is what Stelle x Firefly is?

>>4442502
The subject waa storytelling in HSR

>>4442502
Anon think was just using Belle x Vivian as an example of good things from Hoyo.

>>4442508
I think*

>>4442452
>>4442453
Remember, do not finger robot girls

>>4442513
Unless you're Simone x Madam Lucy

Coralie has a passive where she gets 13,14% dmg if Helia is on the team
I love this kind of easter egg so much, it's so cute

>>4442400
she's elysia she was always gonna flirt with every girl come on now

If both March 7th and Cyrene are alt Elysia's, is it selfcest if they made out?

>>4442684
Anon drinks some coffee you seem to still be tired

Wow, people finding Ciphlaea crumbs in the fucking Phainon MVs.

I salute my fellow autists.

>>4442677

>>4442708
1314 = 一生一世 = forever (usually used in romantic context in CN)

>>4442708

It's....something?

>>4442786
This and their hug in the trailer were cute. Can’t say I have my hopes up for them having much beyond MC pandering though

>>4440390
Why the fuck do people want her playable? You know she won't be allowed to be a lesbian because it's an incel company and they keep showing the girls only with Aether now. No way would they make a playable girl unavailable to the men. Hoyo stans really have no standards.

>>4442788
Yeah, it's cute but best not to expect anything given how desperate ZZZ has become.
I still cant believe how lukewarm the reception to their big 2.0 patch was

>>4442854
Hard to get excited for more chinkslop personally. I’m much more interested in Orpheus+Seed (with the latter being confirmed as a girl) and the idols.

Is it just me or they ship Vivian with Belle? There's this heart break picture from Vivian and they took a picture together from the end of season 1.

>>4443025
I think besides Zhu and Ellen Belle x Vivian is Belle's biggest yuri ship. Many people love them together. It helps that she has the same VA as the incredibly gay Tohru. I'm surprised there's no art of Vivian and Belle as Tohru and Kobayashi

>>4443089
The english VA performance during the Belle saves Vivian scene cant be really interpreted as anything other than someone desperately trying to save someone they fell in love with too.

>>4443089
>Tohru and Kobayashi
Wait, is it jp or en? that's incredibly amazing and it's better than the beastar.

>>4443246
EN. Her EN VA also voices tiny Fu Xuan in HSR

>>4443267
I don't play hsr but that's cute.

>>4443097
She'd known Vivian for like a week.

>>4442677
And Helia as a matching skill that give Coralie 5.20% dmg

>>4444086
>>4444089
Shame Skirk is such a by-the-numbers character. She could've represented the freaky lesbo choice for Lumine.

>>4443670
Perfect

>>4444164
Every Hoyo character is by the numbers, at least every female Hoyo character that is.

>>4444164
I'm just pissed I got her at 40 pity, then lost her weapon to a default.

Wow the skip option in Star Rail is the best thing ever, I would get really bored if I had to put up with one of the most boring hero journey ever writen, I hope with the return of March and Hysilens and Cerydra the story get better, at least for shipping potential.

>>4444525
I haven't read a single word of the story on the new planet. I do thi know its cute they added a recap feature with the skip button as if anyone is gonna bother reading that. I have no clue what is going on and I'm not even mad about that. I don't care for these characters or for the overall theme of the story. The only story that worked in Star Rail is the Belobog one for me. It's the only story I feel directly opposed the views of a Trailblazer. These stories are trying to be too philosophical to the point where it forgets it's target audience and who the Express are supposed to be. Yeah it can work for the characters of the planet to ask and ponder these questions but once the Express leaves none of it will matter to any of the crew. At least Penacony gave us Firefly. This planet (can't bother to remember it's name) is just so bland.

>>4444540
The funny thing is, it's not even a real planet, just some "weapon" doing infinity simulations, everything writen before 3.4 is kinda worthless anyway

Hey guys

>>4443670
I even read through the skills when beta dropped but I somehow never noticed this

>>4444545
Wow that makes it all the more stupid. Is this another Misha and Gallagher situation where they can get around anyone actually being killed with a "jk none of it was real"?

>>4444622
Sort of, yes.

>>4444230
The problem is that while they can set-up a good foundation, they have no fucking idea on how to build upon it. Which is why most Hoyo women are flat and undeveloped.

>>4444664
This is Feixiao to a T.

>>4444230
>>4444664
Well that's the thing about any creative endeavor right. You can follow all the rules but still end up with something that just doesnt inspire passion in your fans.
For all the faults of pairings like EiMiko and ArleFuri have, they do...or did get people's neurons moving, unlike many of Hoyo's more recent offerings.

New Teyvat Interlude for Genshin/NodKrai
Columbina is apparently not with the rest of the Harbingers, cant help but think this is going to set her up as another traveler simp

>>4444728
I am tremendously concerned by this "Love for her Master" thing they bring up with Asmoday.

>>4444728
>another traveler simp
Anon Lumine has the smallest harem in all the 3 big Hoyo games. And if she is a simple who cares? Stelle and Belle has more simps

>>4444801
People are questioning if it's Paimon. Paimon has the same stars you see around her.

>>4444717
I'm not sure what you're getting at here. EiMiko is like a 4 year old ship now so I don't get bringing them up. As for recent ships Stelle x Firefly is becoming the biggest recent ship in Hoyo.

>>4444810
>Stelle
She has Firefly, you could argue Kafka, I guess, Hanya, if you squint?
Lumine has by FAR a lot more romance setup

>>4444801
to be fair, she always gave off her vibes, this is just confirmation

>>4444813
? Genshin seems to have the smallest thing since they are focusing on male mc love,
In star rail they are atleast trying with castorice and cyrene, from kafka to firefly and so on.
Meanwhile genshin has "hurr durr love for master"

>>4444813
Who? Ayaka, Citlali, and Shenhe is about it. Everyone else is debatable. Same how with Stelle she has Castorice, Kafka, March, Firefly, and is ship teased with Natasha as well. I guess you can argue Stelle is more of a simple for Natasha.

>>4444879
>"hurr durr love for master"
Man I can't wait to see when this ages poorly and the Master is a woman

Also Cyrene? Let's not act like for patches she wasn't glued to Phainon and at any time towards her release they won't just bring back the teasing them together again. It's funny how 1 patch can make people act like there was never any concerns regarding a character, yet act differently when talking about a yet to be revealed character.

>>4444884
Sure there was some teasing and was glued to him but she was very clearly written to be for the player even if hoyo did some weird ass decisions with Phaion and her to tease ship fans, at the end it was just tie it back to the player and was shown off to be with stelle in the trailer.

As for the genshin thing, maybe if this was honkai i would take the "master" as a woman thing but its not, genshin hates any sort of yuri implication even if they sometimes slip.
For all we know master is gonna turn out to be player in some convoluted way but i also doubt that as genshin love male masters

>>4444879
Is Ineffa gonna be paired with anyone next patch? I only ask because you act as if you know everything that will happen in the future

>>4444889
This is hard coping anon. Just say you're bias and don't like the game so you can shut up already

>>4444889
Anon isn't Genshin the only game between the two with an in game canon yuri pairing between Lumine and a female character? With every other pairing in all other Hoyo games you have to remember the girl is looking at the MC as if she's both genders.

Also we have to admit it doesn't matter which game the yuri will always be on the weaker side compared to the yaoi. Over the last few years the MC yuri in Genshin and Star Rail have gotten even worse. March with Stelle has died down big time. And none of the other ships have picked up any momentum. All of Castorice's trailers have Stelle and she's her lowest ship with even Caelus being shipped more than her. If you're not Firefly no one is gonna bother shipping yuri with Stelle. But let's not also forget all the forced ship teasing with Dan that's been going on lately. All this to say HSR isn't in a better place yuri wise than Genshin in reality

>>4444893
I act because i know hoyo and are used to their writing style at this point.
Its not a hard cope if i can excuse single weird ass flashback scene

>>4444900
Anon drink your coffee. You are clearly still drowsy

>>4444882
Mizuki litteraly confess to lumine, also Nilou has far more romantic setup than Castorice, who got barely anything. Also Jeht, who has a lot of of romantic setup

Honestly R1999 and Heaven Burns Red have been such a gift in terms of yuri that the Hoyo games just pale in comparison. Maybe because unlike the Hoyo games the yuri in those games are legit and not just for marketing like most of the Star Rail ships. I still like posting yuri fanart but I know the games won't ever commit to it. This is a person that used to play FGO and shipped ladies with Gudako when the devs clearly favored Gudao in game.

As for open world games like Hoyo games. Personally I feel like WuWa is the better with the yuri. Unlike most games they always give both MC the spotlight, which allows for a lot of yuri in the game. They even started to allow the females to interact with each other outside of just Rover opening up shipping between the girls as well. That's just my opinion

>>4444904
Castorice literally watches Stelle sleep and when she wakes up she looks at her while smiling

>>4444903
Actually I am wide awake, while you are clearly fast asleep.
Should I wake you up with a kiss?

>>4444904
>>4444908
Both Lumine and Stelle have big harem members. Let's not fight over size here

>>4444909
Oh so you're just retarded? Gotcha

>>4444889
This post is very hypocritical.

>>4444912
You don't need to be shy, you know?
But I don't hate that about you.

>>4444915
OK fine I'll bite. Where do you wanna meet up?

>>4444915
>>4444916
get a room

>>4444917
I'm trying to

>>4444917
On it.

>>4444907
R 1999 sure its yuri af with pretty amazing lesbians.
Hbr - ehh im conflicted on one hand it has its moments with being blant about yuri on on the other i hate what they did with some of the characters teasing het realtionships in their stories, the fact that the creators is the same one that did male getting bettwen yuri novels does not help with hbr and how it acts around characters

>literally nobody here is talking about this

>>4444976
>yuri af
No
It’s just a lot safer for /u/

>>4444981
Moon yuri

>>4445007
No its yuri af. Jesus Christ why does someone (I'm gonna assume you're the same person from last time) keep trying to debate people when they say R1999 is a good yuri game? Fo you have no life other than debating with people who enjoy that game?

>>4445047
I know you want to defend because it's your daily login simulator but it's not "yuri af" and it never will be.

And I bet I have more fanart of that game saved than you do anyway.

>>4445051
Jesus Christ anon get a life and let people enjoy what they want. I don't know who made you the yuri police but you can retire now and enjoy life. You sound like a loser that doesn't know how to have fun so you feel the need to ruin it for others.

>>4445051
I think I speak for everyone when I say no one cares what you think. Anyway here's some yuri to move away from this cringe

>>4445055

>>4445056

>>4445058

>>4445061

>>4445055
NTA, but it's clear that you care a lot about what she thinks, you want validation from /u/ so badly, it's kind of pathethically endearing
Why do you care so much if one random anon on /u/ doesn't think your game is yuri?

>>4445066
I dont care if you don't think the game is /u/. I care that you're arguing with others telling others that they should think the same way. Responding to someone saying "no its not /u/ at" just makes you cringe.

>>4445071
Don't bother responding to that retard. They clearly have some weird obsessive hatred for the game what they feel the need to share everytime someone mentions it.

>>4445052
>>4445055
You’re new right? Gacha brought you guys in?

Discussing how yuri or subtext something is is the most basic /u/ discourse. If you can’t handle this and flips out this easily, please consider going somewhere else

>>4445078
Wow you really have no life

>>4445076
Anon, don't bother samefagging if you can't do it properly.

>>4445078
You must be new anon. I'm gonna give you the benefit of the doubt and not say you're the same person but that person has started discourse everytime R1999 is brought up and someone says they see it as gay. They don't argue from their own perspective. They argue as if it's a fact that it's not that gay. That's why some people are getting on their case over the fact. Which isn't something new so you're "you must be new" doesn't even make sense.

>>4445081
Imagine saying someone is samefagging while samefagging themselves

>>4445082
It’s not THAT gay and we used to tell fetus like you to lurk moar

>>4445066
This is a weird take. Aren't you doing the exact same thing?

>>4445086
Blah blah blah I hate Reverse 1999 blah blah blah you aren't allowed to like it

>>4445086
I always thought it was weird to tell someone to lurk more of 4chan. Its like stating how little you do in life

>>4445090
>can’t stop talking about “life”
Yeah you’re definitely new and underage

>>4445094
Nah I just have a life. I feel sorry for you

>>4445094
>>4445096
Neither of you have lives, now kiss.

>>4444884
>Man I can't wait to see when this ages poorly and the Master is a woman
Fingers crossed, but I wouldn't hold my breath.

>>4444889
Everyone ships Phainon and Mydei, including Cyrene.

>>4445112
The sad part is the yuri on this planet is overshadowed by yaoi and het. I don't think any yuri pairing is that popular. It's crazy how much larger the fujo ships are in Hoyo games compared to the yuri ones. I think it could partially be because of how consistent the men interact compared to the women. Hopefully that changes with the two new characters, but what are the odds the TB will be seen as a Princess/Prince to Cerydra and she becomes a big simp for them. I can already see her being a princess carried by the TB at some point. Hopefully that won't happen.

>>4445120
Yeah, I do agree. I hate looking on AO3 and seeing the magnitude of difference between the number of M/M fics and the number of F/F. HI3 is one of the few outliers (owing to having all of 5 male characters), but its base is TINY next to Genshin and Star Rail, which are dominated by the likes of Kavathim, Raturine, and now Phaidei.

It's better than het, but that's still 2nd far more often than not. And no matter how one screams into the void about Hoyo's /u/-centric history, it just amounts to a lot of hot air. Fujo ships simply are the dominant form of fandom.

>>4445120
>because of how consistent the men interact compared to the women
i dont think thats it at all. i think its just that 99% of fanfiction is written by women, and women are much more likely to be straight and into mlm than they are to be lesbian

>>4445153
Aren't men also more likely to also be straight?

>>4445164
m*n don't write fanfictions, or participate in fandom culture in general

>>4445164
read the first part of that sentence

>>4445184
They said women are more likely to write straight stories when its more likely men write straight stories.

Also if the rumors are true than people don't have to worry about the Masters gender as long as they play as Lumine.

Lol

>>4445260

>>4445264
Aww

>>4445265

>>4445266

>Caelus was choice in the pv with Artoria in HSR

Lame

>>4445339
Good? Let the males self-insert retards fight each other.

>>4445267
Antyuri crowd must be seething honkai impact board will be unsable for months

Star Rail 3.4 summary: the driest and worst patch for yuri fans. Forget about goggable, there aren't even women interacting with each other without men involved. Hysilens x Cerydra (Hydra) is the last hope for Amphoreus.

>>4445246
>" i think its just that 99% of fanfiction is written by women"
>They said women are more likely to write straight stories when its more likely men write straight stories.
?

>>4445375
Did you do the post-story interactions with Cyrene?

>>4445339
i believe they used h*m for the original teaser announcement too
it's pretty much expected they use h*m for the more mainstream stuff

>>4445339
>>4445385
Caelus being used for fateslop while Stelle stays for other trailers is much better.
Stelle gains nothing from appearing alongside the hetslut Saber anyway.

>>4445390
Saber is a bi slut not that its much better

>>4445375
>Hysilens x Cerydra
They will either be Bronya x Seele or Astra x Evelyn. Hopefully if its the latter its Stelle that they are ship teased with and not Wise like Astra's trailers were. The grossest thing Hoyo has ever done was imply Wise faps to Astra from Belle's phone

anyway

>>4445390
Saber is actually bi just like Morgan, actually her family is bi.

>>4445420
Don't worry Belle luckily all your girlfriends are blessed with amazing assets

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kjf6iapk_20

>>4444879
>Meanwhile genshin has "hurr durr love for master"
Do you mean Paimon? LOL

This new Fate collaboration story feels so forced. I'm skipping the story because of how bad it is

>>4445770
I mean it's het! HET

>>4445776
It's really bad, they didn't even bother to create a new boss or anything like that, it's reused asset all around, I expected them to at least put a bit more effort into it .

>>4445781
Its also the same go to this point and then to that point that Hoyo loves doing. Saber and Archer also feel so out of place in the game. Like they're only here for marketing and nothing else. It just feels so hollow

Just did the movie event in ZZZ late (thanks work) and holy fucking fuck fuck the amount of yuri in it is insane. This is becoming a perma feature right?

>>4445777
Do you imagine paimon having a relationship with MC or something?

i started to play hsr and i am at the underground city how much longer do i have until i am caught up to the story?

>>4445793
So what? That's one instance of the het.
Cope and seethe, yuri hater.

>>4445794
I wanted to like Trigger but her design just looks so boring to me. Its like they took a fatui npc design and decided to make them playable in ZZZ

>>4445794
Do you mean the underground area of Belobog?
You’ve got a long, long way to go.

>>4445794
You're on the first like, quarter of 1.0.
We're currently on 3.4. Patch stories are like, ~4 hours each on average? But a few have been optional so like... ~54 hours-ish?

>>4445510
That's pretty good

I haven't paid that much attention to Castorice in game so I gotta ask does she really stutter and get embarrassed around Stelle? When you battle her in the event her lines feel like a girl nervous to talk to her crush.

I think they should drop the whole story about sacrifices and whatnot and make it about who will win the Bellebowl

>>4445842
Jane looks like she's ready to eat Belle up

>>4445852

>>4445836
She stutters a little normally, but it's more 'cause she's introverted and uncertain, like she's not used to talking much in general than anything to do with Stelle.

>Bronseele crumbs
>Some Stellefly
More than I was expecting desu

Welp, it looks like Topaz has completely become a hetshit character now. She literally invites the sigger over for a fucking dinner in one of their new interactions for the Fate event. It's literally over for any yuri for her now. She's only going to get permanently glued to and shipped with him by Hoyoshit writers until eos. Expect this shitty ass company to rugpull any future yuribait character with a male as well now that they've learned baiting multiple kinds of shippers is the best way to farm engagement and drama online. Bronseele and Acheron got lucky but new ones are all destined to become reduced to this. Cyrene will never get anything significant with another female character like Elysia did nor will the future Yae Sakura. Any Honkai faces they bring over to HSR will only become hetshit bait and nothing more. This game has well and truly become Het Shit Rail since that fucking writer Shaoji took over. Expect the only kind of yuribait in the future to be with Stelle only (meaning Caelus also counts) and never ever between two female playable characters. Amphoreus already shows they've changed direction this way after Penacony ended anyway. I guess fujos will keep winning though since Hoyo still cares enough to bait them unlike yuri.

>>4445884
>now
she always was, she only got shipped with jade because of a trailer, like always with hoyo they love to shipbait in trailers, in game, her interactions we're always with aventurine as jade is a non-character most of the time.

>>4445887
But that wasn't a trailer for them. It did happen inside the game in a cutscene. It was Acheswan and Hertamei that were mainly baited in trailers with nothing of substance in the actual game. And yes, I know Jade was always a non-character since they never bothered doing anything with her after her introduction. This is seriously one of my biggest problems with this game. The male characters get to have so much screen time to reveal their tragic backstories and learn more about them while female characters like Jade or Lingsha are given absolutely nothing and remain completely one dimensional and unpopular as a result. It's so frustrating to see the obvious male bias the writer has with the character writing.

the cuties (i dont think burnice would ask permission though)

>>4445884
Surely there are better uses of your time than screaming "No more yuri anymore forever!!" on /u/ anytime something you don't like happens.

>>4445869
Thanks for giving me the boring answer. I was clearly leaving open the door for a fun yuri comment.

>>4445884
>Acheron
Acheron is already shipteased with Caelus, since she is extremely close the the TB.

>>4445923
Sorry, people tend to be so down on Cas in general, the idea that someone would want to hear reaffirmation of the MC shipping simply did not occur.

>>4445916
Well, it's still pretty clear to me that Hoyo doesn't care about yuri in HSR anymore. I don't see why we can't even point that out since there aren't many other places to discuss the lack of yuri in this game without Hoyoshills saying there's nothing wrong with the game's writing at all.

>>4445924
Not to the same extent as Firefly though. And since it's always shared with Stelle, it's not nearly as bad as it is with another male character, like if it was Aventurine for example.

>>4445927
Your hyperbolic exaggeration as to the extent of the problem just serves to be annoying rather than inviting commiseration over the issue.

>>4445929
What exactly was being exaggerated here? Tell me exactly what I said that was wrong with the state of the game?

>>4445891
i dont know what to feel about the closest to a canon yuri couple is between a furry and a pyromaniac

>>4445933
I feel like, pandering aside, Astra/Evelyn is the "cloest to canon."
That said, what's wrong with furries and pyros?

>>4445890
Fucking Skott has more screen time than some of the female characters. That guy pretty much ruined any chance
>>4445936
Not really when the game uses every chance it gets to say Astra likes Belle/Wise. Even the movie event teased her liking them

>>4445936
Astra is just handled so oddly. It's really hard to take her ship with Eve seriously, which is regrettable.

>>4445949
>>4445984
Yep. Hoyo just loves baiting both yuri and either waifu or hetfags at the same time now to get more engagement when both sides fight each other over their ships. This is how all their new ships get treated since Fontaine I've noticed. Astra gets continually baited with both Evelyn and Wise so you'll never be able to enjoy the yuri content undisturbed without those annoying fucks always telling you to leave, or how they're like sisters or worse in an M/F/F polyship with Wise.

In HSR we currently have Cyrene who is getting obviously baited with Stelle but she still has the whole childhood friend thing going with Phainon and no other good yuri option outside of that. Aglaea got hetbaited with Anaxa first so the yuribait with Cipher afterward feels less meaningful and more hollow (and don't forget they also got slapped with the mother and daughter label because of the childhood scene). It's like this supposed yuri-loving company doesn't even want anyone to be able to enjoy a yuri ship anymore without having to fight other people constantly in the fandom due to them always baiting more than one side. I'm so tired of seeing this happen all the time now.

It really feels like the last time we got to enjoy yuri ships in one of their games outside of HI3 without this constant drama was during Sumeru with Dehya, Dunyazard and Candace or Jeht and Lumine. I really wish we could go back to those days.

And by the way I wanted to say Ei and Miko as well but then I remembered they literally shoved Aether into the same hotspring scene recently so that one feels like it's out too now.

>>4446003
>Aglaea got hetbaited with Anaxa first
If you count their sniping at each other as "Ship Bait", then you're as delusional as the hetfags.

Seriously, just leave, you're way too obsessed with hetshit for /u/.

>>4446006
I didn't see it myself but the fact that it became the most popular ship for her was what bothered me, that's all. And how is this being obsessed with it? I was just pointing out the way they've changed their writing for yuri ships recently, especially in HSR, and I don't understand why we can't even discuss this here when there isn't anywhere else to even talk about this without being told nothing's wrong.

>>4446007
>I didn't see it myself
That explains so much, and just makes it all the more annoying...

>>4445933
In the year of our lord 2025 I feel like that doesn't matter

>>4445933
In the year of our lord 2025 I feel like that doesn't matter

>>4446007
>I didn't see this myself but some randoms on the internet did so its a problem.
Are you stoopid?

>>4446030
I though that was Salter and Jalter from FGO

>>4445884
What is a "sigger"?

>>4445936
astralyn is elite if you ignore half of the content theyre in where theyre both sucking off the MC. burnice and pulchra dont have that kind of shameless pandering

>>4446063
It just panders to one of the weirdest fetishes in history. Half the people that ship them probably also wanna bang Lola Bunny as well

Man Hoyo is really doubling down on Robin and Boothill hanging out I see

>>4446139
Better her than any other Penacony girl since she has no yuri at all

>>4446135
So what

>>4446146
According to twitter lesbians, she's "queer coded", because her affinity with an irl lesbian poetess or something like that.

>>4446063
>>4445936
There are times, when I look at ZZZ and think to myself.....these people aren't real otaku.
I know the more cynical of /u/s have already written off most of Nu-Hoyo as idiots and fake but the ZZZ devs feel even more new at this than the rest. It's like they just dont "get" it. They dont "get" the anime tropes they are working with. It's like an AI arranging things in a pattern as opposed to a human being who has fawned over certain anime tropes, discussed with fellow fans about them, and now has an opportunity to do it themselves.
Because if they "get" it, Astra and Evelyn wouldnt have turned out this way in the story and marketing. That's what i believe.

Also yeah, for whatever reason, Burnice and Pulchra are strnagely "safe" from all this rubbish, so far, for now, knock on wood.

The stellemarch interactions are pretty cute

>>4446176
I didn't save these myself cause I'm stupid so I'm stealing them from twitter

>>4446179

>>4446157
My biggest issue with ZZZ is the way it animates the movement of characters. For someone like Billy it makes sense for it to be exaggerated but far too often does the character movements feel overly exaggerated. For example the latest demo they released looked so weird in how the characters move. I know its the style their going for but it almost feels like there's no bones in the characters bodies. They all feel so stringy with overly exaggerated movements in even the smallest things. It just looks too goofy to me.

>>4446176
>>4446179
>>4446179
These are all so cute. What does Stelle say when she wins?

These interactions just reinforce how much March adds to Stelle's personality and sense of humor. Stelle isn’t as interesting without March being there to play off her. It is funny how March is the only character Stelle constantly thinks about when she's not around them.

>>4446176
The two sides of Starch

>>4446176
Its even cuter when you it to her line to Castorice.

>>4446363
We need more mirror maiden yuri out there

>>4445936
Astra is a ho

>>4445786
Really, I was expecting for Belle and Vivian to shove their tongue in each other's mouth at some point

>>4446633
If it wasn't a gacha I bet they would have

>>4445786
>>4446633
Stuff like this is why you'll never get real yuri in a gacha. They have to pander to the self inserters.

>>4446688
What is "real" yuri to you? If you're playing as Belle this scene is pretty gay if you ask me.

>>4446697
Have you looked at the rest of this board....?

>>4446688
cope

I don't think there's a bigger simp in Hoyo than Sara is for Raiden

>>4445264
This chat was super gay i love it
dating sim bettwen two girlfreinds was a bold move

>>4446808
They both want to make the other happy so badly
The twist that Coralie though Helia was a sim who developped her own awareness of the fact that she was in a daily loop and started doing her best to make Helia happy for even a single day, only to realize that she was actually the one in the loop, and that Helia just couldn't move on from her death, digitalized her and spent her whole life reviving her last day with her was absolutely amazing

>>4446699
The thing is Belle is canonically a lesbian/bisexual.

>>4445786
Is it still available?

>>4447018
Belle just feels like the right choice in ZZZ. Her genki girl personality just plays off the other characters better to me. Miyabi's serious at times personality just goes better with Belle. Same with how she plays off of Zhu and Ellen

>>4447029

> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fFU7rj7IoLo

Another Yuzuha trailer with some cute moments with Alice

Still cautious

>>4447029
Yeah, her personality really shines through in that movie date with Vivian.

>>4447250
I love how the text blurb when selecting to invite Vivian implies they chill at the video store and Belle's room and watch movies/do stuff all the time too

I'm kind of surprised they're fine with female mc x females but they're not fine if it's male mc x males in every trailer/hoyo's other pv (Wise haven't paired with the guys yet)

>>4447382
Implying their self insert is gay is way more threatening to incels than women being gay

>>4447417
You can tell the incels ran to ZZZ more than the other games. There's even significantly less yuri from creators in ZZZ than there is in Genshin and Star Rail

>>4447450
Dunno, they seem to still pander their girls to yurifags as long as you play as Belle the canon lesbian.

>>4447471
I meant more the fandom than Hoyo themselves.

>>4447481
Ohh, my bad.

>>4446777
She's so gay, it's beautiful. I wish hoyo gave her a story quest

>>4447450
Recent demographic poll in Japan showed ZZZ is 80% male. While Honkai and Genshin have a larger female rep

so seed is a female? not that i'm complaining but i thought it wasnt true

>>4447761
Basically confirmed since 1.7
Unfortunately this puts some extreme strain on my pulls as I’ll be pulling 6 characters and their engines back to back with 2.2 being Orpheus and Seed. Can only pray idols are later on so I get a break.

>>4447471
They pander everyone to everyone, the same as every gacha where you can choose a male or female MC.

>>4447780
They do, however that does not change the in-game dialog unique to Belle has her acting very gay, while the Wise equivalent lines are not flirty or similar at all.

>>4447826
Doesn't Jane act more flirty to Belle than to Wise?

Why's no one talking about the fact that in Dehya's anecdote she states Dunyarzad takes her out dancing?

>>4447834
>>4447826
Characters interact with both MCs the same way depending on which one you're playing as, and both MCs have the same lines just with the name changed.

>>4448002
I know that anon. I just remember seeing someone mentions that Jane Doe flirts with Belle in game. I know how gacha games that allow you to pick your gender works

>>4447608
Succubus Eula is a really good idea for a skin. Shame Eulamber is just so fucking mid!

>>4446777
The writers deserve to get sent to the trenches in Ukraine for how badly they fumbled Sara.

>>4448002
This is only mostly true outside of voiced content, in which Belle often has a completely different way of speaking than Wise, even if the other character's response doesn't change. The devs have been trying to differentiate the two siblings, especially recently. I've noted since 2.0 that other characters will often acknowledge Belle specifically instead of just "Proxy" or "Phaethon" like in most of 1.x.

>>4448004
Yes, there's a sequence with Belle, Wise, and Jane in the video store in which Jane flirts with Belle, calls her cute, and gives Wise some money to buy Belle a snack with. It's the exact same scene regardless of which sibling is the main protagonist, meaning even W*sefags see Jane rizzing up Belle and not him. Pic related is the follow-up text conversation, in which she only calls Belle cute.

how gay are these two? i still havent finished the story from last patch because it was so bad and i need motivation

>>4448002
What about the comic where Vivian only touches Belle during their hiding place?

I love how Belle's reaction towards Manato is just normal friendly reaction unlike Wise.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jvXVmvW8ZQw&feature=youtu.be
how do you all feel about this?

honkai impact 3 sisters stay winning with real yuri btw

>>4448258
Wise and Belle probably won as the gayest MC of all MC.

They're the best

>>4448067
ok this seems pretty gay

>>4448036
They didn't even badly fumble her

>>4448258
>>4448302
Demon Dragon Lord x Hell Knight Commander is some kino shit

Why is Burnice like this?

>>4448553

They're so freaking cute

Yuri of Ineffa and her loli owner/creator? Thoughts?

>>4446283
>What does Stelle say when she wins?
Sorry for the lateness

Absolute kinography

>>4448863
Her name's Aino, apparently.

I have a hunch that Lauma is gonna be the resident turbo-lesbian. Her namesake was considered extremely dangerous to men.

>>4448863
There's some potential with her and Xilonen. Xilonen is good at building different mechanical items and is lazy so giving her a robot girlfriend that can is in need of repair and can do different chores would be ideal for Xilonen.

Though I do like Xilonen more with Mavuika. I like how much Mavuika gets under her skin with the crazy things she wants her to make

>>4448914
She's also an Acheron clone which will increase her odds of being a lesbian. Also for Hoyo to make an Acheron clone in Genshin is that them acknowledging how little she looks like the other Raiden clones?

Gay. She went running across all Nod-Krai to meet her gf after their shared pet called her

This is cute

She might be the leader of a lesbian faction in Nod Krai.

Is it wrong that I ship Soukaku x Rina? They're dating again in this summer event.

>>4449249
Rina is for Corin
just like Soukaku is for Yanagi
mommies should be with their non-blood related daughters

>>4449253
Corin is with her gay wolf-Dad, though.

>>4449249
>>4449253
I personally enjoy Soukaku x Miyabi the most
Sadly there’s barely any content

>>4449846
Honestly not surprised. The game has been pushing Astra with Wise hard since her debut

>>4449846
Amazing display for the "gayest" hoyoverse game

>>4449846
On the other hand, Belle got some bikini pics of her, but yeah, this just further cements Astra is bi/proxysexual and we should invest in Purrnice coin instead

>>4449846
I'm so glad I dropped it when that shitty trailer came out

>>4449846
I guess that means Miyagi isn't the love interest for Wise.

>>4449914
>Miyagi
Who?

>>4449846
The more I see of this game the happier I am that I dropped it

>>4449885
We also have Yuzuali now as well. Hopefully they are treated more like purnice than astralyn in the future

>>4449920
Miyabi *cough*

>>4449914
Belle gets Miyabi and Vivian I feel like she got the better deal overall.

>>4449885
I'm not a furry so I'm not into that ship.

Also the Belle thing felt like it was just to setup a gooner Wise joke. How does she act at the movies? Is she like Ceasar or treats them both the same?

>>4449983
Alice reminds me of Lumine a little in the face

>>4450034
Dont have her interactions with Wise but here
>>4446630
Also there was a fan animation posted Hoyo's channel that had Belle and Astra dancing in a field of lillies

>>4450044
Wasn’t that just the Hoyofair channel with fanmade content. That wasn't official

>>4450044
There was a fan animation of pulchra and burnice having sex in hoyo's channel
your point?

>>4450060
HoyoFair is an officially promoted fanwork event.

So like, you can take the fact they're willing to promote it as you like, but end of the day it's non-canon fun.

>>4450137
I know that anon. Its officially promoted but not officially made by Hoyo

>>4449846
I'm so glad I never even started this game. Fugly aesthetics, even fuglier characters, boring-souding plot, having to keep the Caelus rip off around, shittier fanbase than both GI and HSR combined. The only good thing about it is different models rather than copy-pasting everything, but 99% of the characters are ugly as sin

https://x.com/ZenlessUpdates/status/1947217458483310833
Giving free polys through a code is enough proof that Yuzulice is canon

>>4449846
Yikes

>>4449914
I don’t think having someone exclusive for W*se and not Belle is the issue here, at least not for me.

The issue is they also pushed Astra and Evelyn during their debut so it’s just turning into this rug pulling situation.

>>4450214
It's lame, but it was like this since Astra's character video. I don't know why anyone still had hope for AstraEve

>>4450237
wasn't astra supposed to be their last hope to get more money since the game wasn't doing that great or something? so they had to go for the self insert pandering with her that's always the last resort every gacha game does

>>4449980
Personally ZZZ is the most forgettable of the Hoyo games. It just doesn't grab your attention storywise like HSR or GI. Its not bad. Its just dull at times to me

>>4450253
The game doesn’t make the same amount as the other two games but it still makes a crap ton of money. I think only anniversary banners and meta characters give them a big boost.

Before anyone says anything, remember that Nicole and Alice have mentioned canonically having (or having had) boyfriends/husbands, so, don't get attached to them. I don't think they even will be playable considering that, tho, similar to Signora. But if hoyo become really that desperate they would dare to retcon that in order to sell the characters, I can imagine them doing that.

>>4450369
I'm infinitely more interested in Nefer, Jahoda, and the potential of creator/creation with Aino & Ineffa.

And maybe a little curious if they'll do anything with Arlecchino & Columbina's commedia connection.

>>4450369
Fortunately I enjoy things outside of yuri as well so is nice to finally have them on screen.
As for playable or not, I don't see any compelling reason they wouldn't be since we have gotten some harbingers.
Nicole looks particularly pretty.

>>4450388
Waifufags won't like having playable characters with bfs or husbands

>>4450369
Correct me if I'm wrong but Alice was never stated to have a husband, Klee could be a clone, a shard of herself, or a spring of a non sexual process. Not sure about Nicole, in the Hexenzirkel trailer one is stated to have had a male lover who she killed, but not sure who, if nicole or another (it isn't Alice)
https://youtu.be/RigK4OwCCM8?si=yy0eFjmDe82R_o8V

>>4450383
>Aino
Not into lolishit but loli yuri is inexistent in hoyo games outside GGZ so it could be good to have at least one

>>4450383
Aino didn't create Ineffa though. She just fixed her up

>>4450388
>>4450471
Alice will 100% be playable. She's been teased for years and they made sure to highlight her being pyro by placing her vision in an obvious location. I'm hoping she plays well with Klee. Maybe giving Klee a passive buff if you have them both in your party

>>4450511
Klee has voicelines about her parents, she mentions her mother (Alice) and a father.

>>4450574
The father was Arlecchino

>>4450369
I had to scramble my brain a little since I thought you were talking about Nicole and Alice from ZZZ

Post the damn teaser next time you nerds

>>4450568
Aino rebuilt her out of a bunch of disparate parts (so you could make some Ship of Theseus argument about whether she's a distinct entity from whichever bit her consciousness originally came from or not) and Ineffa's teaser made it seem like she's motivated by returning to her so close enough.

>>4450738
>penis, ballsack and semen in background
Not sure I like the implication of this when paired with Pulchra's comment there.

>>4450747
Yeah unfortunately the implication is that bernice did it with the guy first

>>4450796
>>4450738
yeah.....amusing picture but having lighter in the background is one thing, but with pants down too is gonna be a....nope

>Yuzuha's EN actress post a gif of Yuzuha with a lesbian flag behind her
>all incels and checkmarks frothe at the mouth in anger and call for AI replacements
So much for being the most chill of Hoyo fanbases

>>4450902
ZZZ is the only Hoyo game I'm currently playing and the fan base is just awful. Anyone who says otherwise is lying. It's why I wish it was more popular here, but I can understand why it isn't somewhat.

>>4450902
Did she delete it or something because I didn't see the image.

On another note its cute that Genshin put Aino and Ineffa together here

Remember to report all fucktards who hate yuri

>>4450902
>>4450918
Not to say the ZZZ community doesn't have its fair share of obnoxious self-inserting W*sefags, but most of the outrage about this paeticular tweet seems to be coming from anti-woke tourists who don't play the game and know nothing about Mihoyo. No one threw a fit when Astra and Evelyn's EN VAs leaned into AstraLyn shipping, for example. Come tomorrow, they'll have moved on to some other fake controversy. Though I will say that Hoyo isn't helping by pandering to the het haremtards ex: by referencing that one Astra trailer that these people already wouldn't shut up about.

>>4450954
I guess with Astra you can argue the game was all they needed to counter the ship. Not much need to argue with the VAs when the game makes it blatantly clear with trailers and in story that Astra likes Belle/Wise.

>>4450954
>>4450944
>>4450938
>>4450918
>>4450902
she is straight deal with it

>>4450902
I believe voice actors/staff shouldn’t be posting this stuff because the reverse is bound to happen with hetshit
The biggest issue in ZZZ currently is definitely Wise getting preferential treatment, and that’s the devs decision rather than the fanbase being how it is. The cinema event was one thing but the Astra thing is a load of horseshit. If you’re going to MC pander at least keep it the same for both MCs ingame (Wise being in those type of trailers is unfortunately a given at this point).

>>4450954
>>4451016
Supposedly Belle is a canon lesbian with Jane and Vivian showing preference for Belle over Wise. Is there really preferential treatment in game? The movie scenes are the same for either character. You can't seriously be expecting them to only ship Belle with characters and not Wise. It's still a gacha. It's why MC 'ships' suck.
It's also weird to complain about obnoxious Wise self inserters when you want the same thing as them.

>>4451046
Wise ships wouldn't suck as much if he had a personality that wasnt the generic, stoic and nonthreatening guy self-inserters can easily use, that's why most people here dont mind Belle ships because she's more lively and charismatic

>>4450511
OneeLoli is the most good civilization.

>>4451046
Vivian? The one who got two trailers with Wise?
I’d much rather have both MCs be treated the same than have Belle get garbage extra interactions with Harumasa and Lighter while Wise gets Caesar, Astra, and Vivian

>>4451060
Neither one of these characters are playable lolis

>>4451046
Vivian treats them both the same anon. Not sure where you heard otherwise but that's not true. You should double check your facts next time.

>>4451080
Makes you wonder if Hoyo only used Stelle with Artoria in promotional material instead of Stelle and Caelus. Maybe its so they don't piss off the Japs that view Artoria as their waifu, and Hoyo sees Stelle as the safer pick.

>>4450902
>the most chill of Hoyo fanbases
This has never been the case since even day 1

>>4450511
>loli yuri is inexistent in hoyo games outside GGZ

>>4451093
They used Caelus in the event launch trailer tho?

>>4451112
This was the game that players freaked out over not being able to see the female characters butts so much that Hoyo removed the censorship. The players of this Hoyo game are mainly gooner incels.
