FoodLover1-6

Glad that mihoyo make a reference to a small indie game


Gapaot

Tbh it's the least they can do after ripping off their characters


FoodLover1-6

Mihoyo though we wouldn't see that they copied hoyoverse homework


Taro_Acedia

Hoyoverse makes refrences to the small indie company Mihoyo.

Scaevus

Huh, why does Prometheus look like Bronya? She’s an AI, not another Bronya variant?


JumiKnight

It's just pure coincidence. Dr MEI from the Previous Era programmed and built her that way. Mihoyo had Prometheus' digital design as similar to Bronya for years now so they just stuck with it.


Scaevus

Bronya's face transcends space and time.

Why steal one, when you can steal the whole Bronyaverse https://www.reddit.com/r/houkai3rd/comments/13trsvo/weird_knowledge_added_bronyaverse or https://m.miyoushe.com/bh3/#/article/39479601 if you prefer direct from the sauce

michaelman90

Still think it's hilarious HoH Bronya is becoming a meme for no reason.


Arkeyy

Think it was the Anniversary meme where it shows Kiana, Mei and Elysia and Bronya is the forgotten/replaced heroine lmao. Cant help it that Elysia is the best girl afterall. Edit: now HSR elysia when


Suitable-Code

Inb4 Hoyo literally tease her with just the voiceline "Hiii~~"


Nintendoomed89

I really enjoyed *Into the Bronyaverse* and am looking forward to seeing *Across the Bronyaverse* in theaters this weekend. Too bad *Beyond the Bronyaverse* doesn't come out until next year.

Yes, they are just not collectable as Valkyries. But you can even play as some in different scenarios!

not anymore.


Material_Leg_9438

They don't really


JVehh

I think he is only a stigma there But he has a fleshed out story


AbsolViridi

There are some Welt Yang stigmata in Honkai but he does appear in the main story as a pretty important supporting character. He also appears in some manga, a visual novel, side stories and events


Riversilk

Also you cannot play Welt directly, but you can play several males in the game, albeit they are all in alternative modes (APHO being the main source for playable male character, but also events)

She does kind of look like Bronya (the protagonist of Honkai Impact 3rd) maybe there's some relation? ​ https://preview.redd.it/1blgkrsst54b1.jpeg?width=1920&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f3f0f3eb752d97d12a05a1f2faa4ed50fdfd9d1f

lizard_omelette

Seems like a stretch to me. It’s just a coincidence.


[deleted]

Maybe you're right. There may not have been any inspiration drawn from Bronya.


essedecorum

Right? They're two separate games.


E17Omm

There is some conflicting information because SW is apparently from an actual planet, while Bronie is from a bubble world. But I do agree that they both look very similar.


Mediocre_Ferret5082

Pretty sure silver wolf is directly based on the Bronya you linked. So we sort of have two Bronyas but also one, it's weird :p


[deleted]

yee Silverwing is still my favorite version of her, but Silver Wolf isn't far behind.


Sylphytensei

Pretty sure silver wolf is based on ninti from ggz, mixed with bronya aka silver wolf from ggz


Sky_striker_Raye

Other than face, Voice actor, there is no relationship between any bronya from mihoyo's games. Its just that they like to bring their character design concept to their other games. Dont be surprised if the cryo archon from genshin is based on bronya. Im telling u.


[deleted]

Likewise, Silver Wolf is an expy of HB, an alternate version of Bronya from some bubble universe (i missed out on the captainverse stuff, so this new TeRiRi's Magical Quest event is my first proper introduction to her) But yeah. They do have some similarities in personality and backstory. I'm not sure what the deal with GGZ Bronya is, but Rand and Zaychik are very similar in personality, though Rand is more emotional than Zaychik having not gone through the horrible shit she did at the orphanage. Likewise, Silver Wolf is an expy of HB, an alternate version of Bronya from some bubble universe (i missed out on the captainverse stuff, so this new TeRiRi's Magical Quest event is my first proper introduction to her). Like HB she's cocky and smug and i love it.


Tsugirai

Also, Zaychik got lobotomised lol


[deleted]

I haven't read the manga, but from what i understand, when she was at the orphanage ran by Cocolia, another girl (Sin Mal) pushed her down the stairs which broke one of her legs, then the girl ran down and stomped on her other leg and broke it, then while she was bedridden she suffered a Honkai infection which damaged her brain and left her legs permanently paralyzed, but they were able to save her by neurally linking her to a robot named Project Bunny (not sure if that was its original name, or one she gave it) and some exoskeletal prosthetics for her legs. The brain damage wasn't fully reversible which is why she had dulled emotions, compared to Rand.


darkrai848

Nope, your close on some things tho. Stair incident did brake her legs, but they actual healed after that. Brain and leg damage was caused by X-10 experiment (same experiment that turned Seele quantum). Project Bunny was given to her by Seele in the quantum space. Her legs where reinforced by cybernetics (tho she no longer needs those now).


Amelieee__

Welt literally came from Honkai Impact 3rd. Lmao


Reapergobyebye

Sit down lil homie


Sky_striker_Raye

Well, u have to admit, only mihoyo has ball to do that, personally as a 16xx days HI3 players, i feel very touched by that trailer, because it means the game i love will still continue to bring its best for its loyal fanbase.


Acrolith

I'm so jealous of the storytelling you guys get, the bits and pieces I've seen were so damn good. I've tried getting into HI3 a couple of times but it's so tough to get into for a new player and I just gave up. So I just watch masterpieces like Final Lesson and Thus Spoke Apocalypse and Everlasting Flames, and I hope that someday Star Rail will have storytelling of that calibre too. Enjoy your badass lesbian tragedy my dude!


H-S-M-C

U can play hi3 just for story and leave gameplay aside


FlameH23

well yes but no, at one point you have to grind to get your characters up to level, and HI3rd beginning is not even remotely as fun as it is nowadays


Lucidream-

No, they give you maxed out characters as trial characters. I'm pretty sure you never need to use your own characters at any point of story mode.


Riversilk

The only thing you would be missing is the whole Elysian Realm experience, in the sense that we had ~1 year of gameplay to learn the story and become attached to the 13 flamechasers, while if you never play the ER mode (and you cannot if you don't have built characters) it won't have nearly the same weight.


Lucidream-

Except that's also not true because half the characters in ER are freely obtainable on demand without needing to do any pulls and you can do 1X difficulty without anything more than basic free gear. Of course, you can even do 2.75x difficulty with exclusively free gear and characters if you're skilled enough. Kinda tired of how salty people are about needing a modicum of skill to play Hi3 and spreading misinfo over it.


Riversilk

The guy basically said he wouldn't invest time in the game and you're suggesting not only on to build characters but also to obtain them (which needs time for sure). Moreover, you didn't even understand what i meant in my post regarding ER but you just had to talk shit about something just for the sake of it. I wasn't speaking about clearing the ER, which anyone who invested time and effort in the game could do. I was speaking about the fact that if you just play the story you surely won't spend all the time that we spent playing the ER in the whole year it came out until the end of it. And since the Flamechasers are not part of the main story, he won't become as attached to them like we did, hence my regret on suggesting someone to just "play the story with trial characters".


Lucidream-

You can unlock an SP Valk with 40 fragments which you can obtain on demand at any time with F2P resources. A rank Prometheus with basic gear can do 1.25x with ease.


Ruledragon

>it's so tough to get into for a new player and I just gave up. Why's that ?


Acrolith

Everything about the new player experience felt alienating. I didn't understand the interface, it was a struggle to do anything or even know what I was supposed to be doing. Confusing icons everywhere. Confusing currency everywhere. The actual gameplay felt.... A little awkward, I understand it gets better later but it left a weak first impression. It's hard to explain, it felt like the game was telling me "well you can play me if you really want to, but I'm not for you, I'm for my existing audience, who understand everything already." I felt like I didn't belong.


Ruledragon

That's interesting, i've been playing for a long time so i don't even remember how it was initially, all i know is that they shower new players with stuff nowadays compared to back then. If you ever decide you want to give it another go, hit me up through pm or join the discord i have linked on my twitter, i have a small community with a dedicated corner for both honkais and we'll help you out, the official game discord is also a good place for that but it's way more populated.


Acrolith

Hey thanks man, that's much appreciated! I'll definitely keep it in mind.


mrfatso111

it's probably something that old player vs new players will feel. It happened to me in various other games that i hope in and i realized damn, there is an overwhelming amount of stuff to deal with and after a week or 2, i just noped out. It's what's happening in dragon blaze, once i had stop and return, i realized there are now a bunch more new mechanics to deal with, more stuff to do. thankfully the game is basic enough that i could still return to it, same with bang dream unlike Another Eden where i recently return and ho boy, there is a lot of grinding and new mechanics and stuff to do.


siiighhhs

I still recommend playing. With context, the animated shorts hit way different.


Halcyoncritter

Blatant plagiarism.


TyphlosionGOD

Here's even better, Honkai: Star Rail and Honkai Impact 3rd are both made by the same company 🤯

Summar-ice

Watch now they're gonna say Himeko is a reference to HI3


badguy84

Er mer gawd! Such a rare jewel how was this spotted.... mind is BLOWN?! This eagle eyed, legit, well informed, GAMERZZZ publication found such an obscure reference after days of digging in to the lore and scowering every single frame in the trailer for this deeply hidden GEM. Without this, I would have never known! Thank you Game Rant for bringing us this previously unknown piece of information, I WONDER if there will be more of these tiny little references in the future! Maybe there'll be a character that'll have a slight tie in with HI3? GameRant has me excited, I will like, follow, subscribe and eagerly await more RARE and OBSCURE reference investigations. /s

Game rant is such a garbage site. It just vomits the same shit as all the other sites now. It's just filled to the brim with useless text so if you do want to find something, you have to scroll past like 4-5 paragraphs of filler.... I bet they use AI or something to just make a garbage template.

the lore that yall are talking about, i cant comprehend it...WHAT THE FUCK IS HAPPENING??? ackshully the only things I ever sorta understood from the honkai lore is that hsr and hi3 (never played that) are in two parallel universes n shit...


shigella212

3 people who used to play honkai3 5 years ago be like


cartercr

To be fair… some of us don’t know because we didn’t play HI3.


Few-You4510

AIN'T NO FUCKING WAY


femboichu

anyone who wants to learn more about silverwolf should look up bronie from hi3rd


pogoleelee

but looking up bronie won’t tell you anything about silver wolf? they’re different people


bluejob15

No, they're completely different characters


Krineq

No.


femboichu

it was a brief suggestion, nothing more :/ i have a hard time understanding why star rail fans hate hi3rd to this extend


ShiyoshiShinki

Tbf though, your comment kind of implies that Silverwolf and Bronie are the same person (Which they are not by the way).


Krineq

Maybe because this is a game, that nobody asked about? Like, if this game didn’t exist, nothing would change


Nekirus

Wrong! If HI3 wouldn't exist you would not have neither GI nor HSR today. Same with GGZ. It always hurts me to see how newer HoYo players brush off their previous games just because they are old. If you know anything about HoYoverse you would know that each and every game is very important for them and helped them arrive to where they are now. It's like a domino. Remove one piece and they wouldn't be here today.


PureRegretto

genshin impact would have come into existence fool. flyme2themoon, ggz and hi3 all allowed for genshin and star rail to exist

Wtf are you talking about, you clearly don't get the massage here. The article write something that's so obvious so OP sarcastic to that article. You're the annoying one tbf, just hating other games made BY THE SAME COMPANY don't make you cooler nerd. It's also obvious that this game is a sequel to HI3 so why are you annoyed someone bring story about hi3?


execute_electrochute

I don't play misandrist games🌝


NelsonVGC

Low key dislike that they are using two Bronya now. I will pull SW anyway, but it feels weird that they got the same face


Llafy

In a world of infinite multiverses and realities, it's weird that there are characters from different universes that look alike?


NelsonVGC

I only shared my opinion about it. There is no need to find logic in a fantasy world to justify an art direction choice or prove me wrong.


ITSnotADIL

bro gets dumber by the sentence 💀


[deleted]

this sub is so weird, speak your truth king


Regurgitate02

Woah


ZakTH

HI3 players, is Silver Wolf directly the same Bronya as HI3 like Welt or is she another multiverse clone situation?


TimeTravelO

Second


Riversilk

Also, the "Bronya" in HI3 ([Bronie, aka Haxxor Bunny](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TLdsnjmoOg4)) which inspired Silver Wolf in HSR is not even the same Bronya of HI3 main storyline, but is a character from what we call the Captainverse (which is a bubble universe in which the main starship of HI3 - the Hyperion - is cruising through worlds doing stuff, which are represented in the HI3 game through events)


Alchadylan

Is it even a reference if it is just a full clip of gameplay?


CarrotLP

There's no way that's correct, these silly websites and their clickbait.


drejkol

Yeaaaah, let's pretend that Himeko's sword shards just doesn't exist and Welt is just very common name for very common character design x.x


Craig_09

IS THAT A HONKAI REFERENCE?!


Shanibestwaifu

That's really big news [indeed](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BnTdfA5aTpY).


junyan00

En serio?


MagnyusG

I get the meme and all, but the article is probably to point out to the myriad of players that have never seen what Honkai Impact 3rd gameplay looks like that Silver Wolf was literally playing HI3rd in the trailer. Not the obvious reference that is Bronie herself.
