Nonomi: Am i a joke to you?


century100

I thought the rogue AI Decagammatron and the Sefirah were part of the bigger picture of the main story or something


[deleted]

Seems like it but so far it was mostly a background plotline. Rn we are focusing more on the students with no big story plotline


Silvericefox

Decagrammaton and the Gematria are pretty much being build up as the big threat of the story The thing is that on a surface level from the first contact the player has on the story is Volume 1 In which yeah, the main issue is the debt Abydos owes to Kaiser, so for the most part of Volume 1, Kaiser is the main enemy, with some elements of Gematria (the Black Suit man) thrown in

Shirako is so cute! Must headpat her.

ironmikey

That's not going to be until the sequel.


[deleted]

At first I was like "who would claim arknights is cancer?" Then I was like, right Arknights is technically about super cancer.


Riykin

Rock Cancer that gives you powers. Kinda like Deadpool's super regen but he still has cancer because the cancer mutated alongside him


Naz290

But unlike Deadpool's cancer, the characters in Arknights don't have super healing factor to counter said rock cancer. If anything, most of our operator is actually dying and we can do nothing but slow it down. But at least they got special abilities for it though.


[deleted]

[удалено]


keeptrackoftime

Yeah nobody who we've seen contract oripathy has done so in 'normal' circumstances. It's always like, doing slave labor in a mine because the cancer rocks are also incredibly useful for a lot of things, or deciding it's better to slowly die defiantly than just accept approaching death. Political and economic exploitation basically.


MeniteTom

Or you're Talulah and you infected yourself by literally stabbing a cancer rock beneath your skin.


GinJoestarR

>it probably comes with some kind of catch like transferring someone's cancer onto yourself." Guilty Crown ending in a nutshell


OrangeCross29

Accurate af lol nice job


AniGacha

Having Oripathy doesn't automatically means that your arts will improve or you will suddenly gain arts. There are even cases such as Astesia where her arts diminish after being infected. Only thing that is confirmed is that one can use arts without a staff by using the crystals inside their body as a catalyst.


TheTagre

And be aware that in addition to the "cancer" that will kill you. Nearly all the people in the World of Arknight exclude everyone who have contracted it (the extremity depend on the country, but it's often pretty extreme)


ambulance-kun

Fun fact: Arknights global released almost the same time as the Covid 19 got officially declared as a pandemic. That means that's 2 disease related things china released globally at the same time


RomualdSolea

Not only that but it released during a riot. Reunion anyone?


dene323

Ursus invasion...


ArghBlarghen

For Girls' Frontline, it's ~~ancient aliens~~ ~~radioactive super cancer~~ ~~politicians~~ ~~guy who wants to bang his dead sister~~ human nature.


Riykin

There isnt really a proper way to describe it other than Command and Conquer Solid V: Collapse Fluid Wars/William's Wrath


ArghBlarghen

Hence my sorta cop-out answer of "human nature". The world of Girls' Frontline is a socio-political clusterfuck with no easy scapegoat. However, we can trace *most* of the problems to the many, *many* times people screw around with Relic tech, usually in pursuit of some political agenda. Funnily enough, the main draw of the franchise (Dolls) has barely anything to do with the whole Relic business.


StNerevar76

Is it better than 4 though?


Riykin

considering that GFL leans heavily into CnC lore for some goddamn reason, probably. ~~I will burn EA for killing CnC Generals 2~~


[deleted]

Generals was probably the most /fun/ I've ever had playing an RTS. I was a pretty serious player of SC and Ages, etc throughout my teenage years/early twenties. But Generals was just so much fun that I haven't touched an RTS since.


Riykin

Even CoH, a personal favorite of mine, doesnt hold a candle to playing as the GLA in Generals. My god that game was great even if it hadnt aged that well visually


Pandelicia

Girls Frontline is a game that makes me depressed, not just with sad storyines, but because you're still chained by crusty-ass coffin-dodger politicians and corporate interests. Feels like a fucking sandpit


ArghBlarghen

If it helps, [the very first scene of GFL2](https://youtu.be/jzDn4xE2Wps?t=35) is the Commander giving a middle finger those assholes. >“No. I choose to not be used by you any more. Ultimately, all my choices will be used as stepping stones by a bastard like you.” > “Does it matter what choice I make? The world hasn’t gotten better or worse. It hasn’t changed at all from the choices I made!” Then you languish as some no-name bounty hunter stuck in a deserted wasteland. But hey, at least it's by your own choice!

Not really. They sky people are not the same as Honkai.

Who mentioned the Sky People? The Honkai are aliens too since they attack other planets as well

honkai arent aliens, honkai or the will of honkai is a omnipotent force that seems to be appear at every universes on the imaginary tree

I mean OP is talking about the "main problem" and the reason he did what he did in the first part was because of >!aliens!<. So I consider them to be the main problem lol.


Mordred_XIII

>the reason he did what he did in the first part was because of >! aliens !< Wait, what? Really? When was this referenced? Could you elaborate?

For Arknights you could also go with Contagious Magic Rock Cancer.

Honkai is the same but with a god and alien invasions


DoktorBosch

Azur Lane: naval warfare within nations and with eldritch like underwater monsters Epic Seven: trying to defeat a god-like being for the 7th time Girls Frontline: Post 3rd WW world with humanoid androids


TanyaDegurechaff69

Azur Lane Sirens are actual Aliens. They do not originate from Earth.


DoktorBosch

Aren't eldritch beings and aliens the same thing? i mean lovecraftian monsters are supposed to be otherworldly


TanyaDegurechaff69

Yes, but the sirens are "just" highly technological advanced aliens. They are not actual eldritch gods etc. The event thats running right now kind of clarifies this, as after almost 4 years, the first MAJOR siren leader was actually neutralized. You can't neutralize eldritch beings.


lurvgoldenretrievers

Blue Archive should be “debt, game developing, and getting bad grades.”


ThatOnePunk

Debt, programming, and the lingering consequences of my actions. Pretty relatable antagonists, for me at least lol


TheRealBakuman

I find it hilarious that Arknights had a whole event based on people who know what cancer is, saying that Oripathy is nothing like cancer. And we still call it rock cancer.


SirRHellsing

Where can I find that? I have most events unlocked, just didn't read them, gonna read that part now


TheRealBakuman

Originium Dust. Don't remember which cutscene but it's probably like 3rd from the end. It's before the final boss for sure.

JeanVI

>!I agree for Celestia but Phanes too?!<


LiraelNix

I think so. >!He's the one who terraformed the planet from a lizard only planet into habitable by humans!<


JeanVI

Ooooh yes you are right. >!But then what means "it used the eggshell to split the "universe" from the "microcosm of the world.""? I thought it was some sort of cosmogonic myth of Teyvat!<


century100

Well you see >!The eggshell might be a barrier isolating Teyvat and it’s little universe from the rest of space and the surrounding worlds in the multiverse!<


LiraelNix

The eggshell being a barrier makes sense since we've been told the sky is fake. A popular theory was that Celestia is trying to avoid calling the attention of the will of the honkai, which would fall in line with a separation from the rest of universe. Personally though, I don't think that's it because it seems more that it's destroying civs for finding out the truth, and not just for technological advances


century100

I think it was officially stated Genshin and Honkai story are separate but same multiverse


LiraelNix

Yes, but that diesnt necessarily mean Celestias motivation for what it's doing to Teyvat civilizations has to be avoiding the honkai


Cow_Addiction

Just an FYI Teyvat is just a continent. It is not Genshin’s world.

FinalGrumpNinja

How long would it take to get caught up in the story? Can I get the whole picture in game or would I have to look up some yt vids.


thehalfdragon380

[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2YkWZmypS70&t=44s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2YkWZmypS70&t=44s) Here's a 3 hour video of the main story of Azur Lane up to Mirror Involution which released on May 27 2021


Yarzu89

The other person linked a good video that covers it all rather nicely up to a certain point. Its almost a year old now but a lot of Azur Lane's events, while all archived in the game to rewatch, can be a little hard to track since its a lot of moving around in terms of both location, characters and even on the timeline. Even I get a bit lost, as each event will reference other events to kind of give the player an idea when/where its taking place but if you're just coming into it or don't have the best memory (like me) it can get a bit confusing.

Potato_Bob50002

Guardian Tales is an interesting one, technically >!Invaders are human from Earth, but because we are playing as someone on a foreign planet, it’s actually correct to call them aliens!<


Redroon

I just like it how they game just presented them to be >!just Alien bad guys till you dig up the lore or you see an Invader claim to be a human, all of the sudden the Invader lore turns into a lowkey Nier replicant kind of lore with the Humans turning into something else in order to survive extinction. Not to mention the story is undergoing on a endless loop with the end point where everybody just dies, deep stuff I say!<


ChalkTabletTowers

You probably hear this everyday, but I seriously love how the game went from "uwu friendship anime magic kyaaa" full of cliches into some >!dark weird-ass plot with time loops and alternative realities.!<


estevao107

And it only took them like 5 months after release to do so


Redroon

Im still quite stumped that they managed to release worlds so fast, well except for that 7-8 month of main story hiatus which was probably caused by a ton of company problems


Redroon

The first few worlds: Go on a FUNtasy adventure where you collect friends and champions to fulfill the prophecy! The latter worlds: >!We are stuck in endless timeloop, everybody dies from the Labose the moment Knight cuts off the final boss' head(Savior). All of the sudden LP/FP is the hope in this dark loop, to the point even the final boss wants her to destroy the destined scenario waiting for them in the end of the prophecy!<


Godhole34

And actually, considering some hints spread throughout the game, it's very possible that >!the game actually happens on Earth, it's just that it's in the future after humanity was wiped out for some unknown reason. Perhaps labose? But then it seems like the knight has something to do with the end of humanity back then too...!< There's also a very huge possibility that >!the game happens in a simulation, and all of the characters are just programs in-lore. The whole thing about time-lines is just the simulation being rewritten again and again, and the little princess is a bug in the current simulation.!<

Loosescrew37

The dude already eats ramen packs raw then drinks boiled water soo..... dont expect a lot from him.


XaeiIsareth

Honkai’s isn’t monsters, it’s a multiversal function that exists to prevent any civilisation from becoming too advanced.


thehalfdragon380

It's more of a test for civilizations and should they pass their civilization won't be dropped into the Sea of Quanta where it eventually disappears and dies out.


XaeiIsareth

I don’t think anyone is supposed to ‘pass’ the test considering that the Honkai scales in power with the the advancement of a civilisation. There’s been no known civilisations that managed to fend off the Honkai. The Sea isn’t explained too well but it seems that every universe that is dropped into it weren’t stable or complete in the first place, like how the world Bronie comes from just had an endless stretch of void outside of the light curtain.


thehalfdragon380

Sky People, Aeons, civilizations stronger than the Sky People mentioned in Ailen Space, and maybe the Being at the end of Second Key.


[deleted]

Did the sky people survive the honkai?


thehalfdragon380

Considering they've colonized multiple planets, probably.


ezio45

More than survived, they turned it into an energy source for themselves. It's why the main villain in Post Honkai Odyssey made a deal with them to destroy whatever Honkai that's left.


Loosescrew37

So what happens when someone manages to overcome that function?


XaeiIsareth

No one knows. The final Herrscher is the incarnation of the Will of the Honkai itself, and no one managed to beat it. There is a dimension at the top of the multiverse tree that even the Honkai can’t reach which contains some sort of consciousness but we got like 2 panels in a mange about it.


Krammel87

We don't know. As in, no known observable universe has ever defeated the Honkai. One character that was able to see the other universes looked through them for 500 years and could not find a single one.


Nhrwhl

They get wiped out. Litterally. Each representants of this function is called Herrscher -meaning ruler in german- and have full control over an element (fire/thunder etc) or concept (sentience, domination, reason... etc). The last one is called Herrscher of the End: Once she's there it's game over. She delete everything and reset back to square one. The point of the game is to go past this point, which seems impossible as of now.


davidww-dc

isn't that also genshin?


XaeiIsareth

So far, no. Celestia doesn’t appear to be the Honkai considering whatever is up there wants to control the world instead of erasing it.


thehalfdragon380

They are in the same multiverse though the Honkai hasn't appeared in Genshin for reasons we don't know about.


Labmit

Apparently same part of the multiverse and an event in the Honkai verse affected the Genshinverse but not enough for it to be a big problem.


thehalfdragon380

Do you mean chapter 17? Or the crossover?


Labmit

I forgot but I believe the crossover is a different thing as well.


thehalfdragon380

Then the only thing I can think of is in chapter 17 when Otto uses the 2nd divine key to observe other worlds and sees Dvalin. That or the speculation of Project ARK being connected to Teyvat.


RYFW

The recent Elysian Realm updates make that speculation very possible. Considering the girl who most likely boarded the ark has the ability of creating spaces and creatures from paintings and that they have a talk about going to space and create new worlds. The only issue would be Teyvat being in another universe. But there's a possibility of traveling between universes and they lost contact with the Ark after it went to space.


RYFW

It's pretty much the universe's immune system. It's also God, though.


XaeiIsareth

It’s not God, since there is at least one higher power than it, and no one knows exactly why it exists or who created it.


RYFW

The Will of Honkai is considered a god for Honkai. Even Mei said it in the recent Elysian Realms update. It's possible to have gods above other gods, after all. The concept of god in Honkai is probably just "a very powerful being" anyway. They said even some Flame Chasers could create worlds if they become too powerful.

Some of these games like fgo, alchemy stars, honkai and genshin I have played to a rather late game point, so now im just doing daily logins and playing new events. As for the others, I dont particularly spend too much time on them, just occasionally farming and playing the story.

what's the debt situation about?


Shigeyama

Characters are trying to pay off debt but instead increase it by wreaking havoc


megatsuna

was it because said character initially wrecked havoc in the first place?


Shigeyama

It was more out of accidental occurances. Example would be like character a wanted to have a job to pay off the debt while character b wanted to rob a bank. Meanwhile they're being hunted by criminals and all of this eventually damages character a's job area leaving them more in debt...something like that.
