*spoilers alert*

I started playing Honkai Impact 3rd Part 2 and DAMN it's so fucking interesting! LIKE SUPER NEAT. Imagine that 1 billion years ago there was a civilisation on Mars that got anihillated by something (*cough cough* Finality *cough cough*) but then several bubble universes are created around it with people in them and because the Sea of Quanta distorts time they didn't live this billion of years that the rest of the planets in Solar System did, no, they lived barely a 100 years since the catastrophe so from THEIR point of view Earth is still just a "blue planet with no civilisation" which means that our planet already has oceans but probably only filled with amoebas and not any other type of life, just bacterias as life on Earth appeared 3.7 billion years ago, but it takes a LONG TIME for life to actually evolve so even 1 billion years ago Earth doesn't really have anything to show off. While from the point of view of Earth - Mars (Luoxing) is DEAD for so long that we didn't even entertain the possibility that civilisation was EVER there to begin with (even if it was probable considering that Venus also had civilisation before it got destroyed too as Honkai Impact 3rd follows the multiverse logic of "1 planet = 1 universe"). Which all and of itself is SO COOL. Because it both is scientifically accurate, but also super Sci-Fi with bubble universes floating in the Sea of Quanta, anchored to Mars and protected not to sink into the Sea completely, with Honkai Energy just existing and PEOPLE LIVING IN HARMONY WITH SHADOW THINGIES GIVING OFF HONKAI ENERGY.

Edit: Honkai's multiverse theory is more like: "it’s solar systems separated by Imaginary tides". Thank you phoenix-is-the-hottest-thing for correcting that. It's a very unique view of the multiverse.

anyway with this chapter i have to say. as much as i Generally Liked the part 2 cast earlier, now they really really grew on me both individually and, even more, as a group dynamic. i know its a pretty common theme in media but it Is very sweet how songque is finally surrounded by people who know her true self, beyond the happy diviner, one of the venerable seven shus, and who genuinely like her despite her "pathetic" [read: human and completely understandable in her situation] true self. not to mention the other shus as well, who despite being a group of people only loosely tied to one another, seem to have a generally positive opinion about her as well. she sees herself as someone only occasionally likeable, cowardly, someone whose only worth is an untruthful legacy she can leave behind, and yet everyone who's in her life as more than just a passerby cares about her to some degree

I love ZZZ and I love Hi3, Part 1 and Part 2, can we please stop comparing them and also stop shitting on Part 2 I'm so tired, I have so many thoughts and I'm tired and sleepy and might! Delete this in the morning who knows, maybe my thoughts will change by then. I'm just. So exhausted of this

Positivity at the end regardless. It's not all hurt and doom and gloom

- A story that is life changing and completely stunning with some of my favourite characters of all time

Things Honkai Impact 3rd is:

- An 8 year old game with a structure originally built to run on the mobile devices of the time which does make it stiff to play at times but still makes it an absolute wonder

- Doing it's best building off the clunky original code base of the game

- Continuing to make great stories with Part 2 while trying to make it's own identity as a new Era of Honkai Impact

Things Honkai Impact 3rd is not:

- Failing to live up to its past with the new part, there's been 3 chapters and most of the people I see complaining about it haven't played more than the first chapter and even if they have they look at it with such a clouded and negative lense, the part 2 story is WONDERFUL and it just gets better with each chapter

- The Worse ZZZ, Honkai Impact is and always has been its own thing in comparison to EVERY Hoyoverse game to come after it, even Honkai Star Rail is not like Honkai Impact at all.

- Deserving of being completely shit on constantly, criticism is fine but I've not seen any good cases of that in months, I actually do have my own criticisms of hi3 part two even if it's been my entire life since it came out but nobody approaches it critically nowadays because they're too stuck in part 1

Things Zenless Zone Zero is:

- The best combat I've played in a while for a gacha game

- Full of really fun characters and designs with amazing and fluid character animation

- A game that came out around two days ago and barely has given us enough to make a proper judgement on the quality of the story.

Things Zenless Zone Zero is not:

- A HONKAI IMPACT 3RD REPLACEMENT

- A GAME THAT SHOULD BE COMPARED TO AN 8 YEAR OLD GAME CONSTANTLY JUST TO CLOWN ON THE OLD GAME

Can we please. Judge ZZZ on its own merits without making people feel shit for enjoying Honkai Impact 3rd and especially for liking Part 2. I don't even want ZZZ to be in the same category of games as the other Hoyoverse games, please, let it be it's own thing so we can just enjoy it for what it is, super ultra fun.

I hate continually seeing people I Look Up To in the Honkai Impact 3rd community using part 2 as a punching bag for not immediately having the most engaging first chapter ever when we ALL know how bad Hi3 was before Chapter 9, so many people go out of their way just to explain to newcomers that it gets good by chapter 9 and how the early chapters suck and you have to read several Manga just for anything to make sense.

Give Part 2 the love it deserves, stick with it for longer that one or two chapters, play through the third chapter and wait with the rest of us for chapter 4 through 6 and beyond, if it continues to disappoint you that's fair but please stop thinking of it like Part 1. It's not Part 1, it's not Part 1.5 and definitely not something like Part 1.5 the second, it's a new story that has its own characters and its own dynamics and its own story to tell with characters who have an incredible amount of depth to them, like Thelema and Songque.

I love Honkai Impact Part 1, I love Honkai Impact Part 2 and I love Zenless Zone Zero. Can we just enjoy our own things without constant negativity with all the comparisons. It's so so so tiring. These are amazing worlds that touch the hearts of so many and that.. Is what should be focused on.

We should focus on the lives that these stories change, the people who were made better by the experiences these games gave them. Focus on the amazing artists in these communities that feed everyone amazing works of all kinds and focus on the passion behind both the people working behind the games and the passion of the people playing them. That's what deserves the focus here, not lashing out with negativity when there's good in the world like this.

I wouldn't be where I am in life without Honkai Impact 3rd. And I am forever grateful that I now get to be here to experience ZZZ with the people I love who I met because of Hi3.

That's what's most important to me in the end.

HONAKI PART 2 CHAPTER 3 SPOILERS

I have very mixed feelings about part 2.

Most of it is from the fact that basically everything they showed felt like concept art/animations...

It also felt like we're gonna be experience a flashback, which is just, why? They land, the landscape is shown, and there's ruins. But then we see it all nice and pretty. Idk, feels like part 2 could just be a flashback...

Of a different planet... With completely new characters...

Even if its not a flashback story...

How the hell does this tie back to part 1? Sa? The new bad guy introduced in part 1.5?

Like, part 2 implies that this is a continuation of part 1. How is a continuation on a completely different planet with completely new characters a continuation at all?

Considering we are traveling to space, and I LOVE space, Im not that excited. I feel like we will just land, have a completely new cast, and a brand new story without Honkai because those enemies were clearly not Honkai beasts and if they are - are Honkai kiddie fwiendly now?

Im all for gacha games having a Part 2 to their story, but the way FGO did it was that in Part 1 we beat the bad guy and save our timeline. Part 1.5 is cleanup.

And at the start of part 2, our home base is annahilated, our history is wiped, and now like, 9 new histories are fighting over which gets to be the real one and we have to annahilate all those other timelines (effectively doing what the bad guy in part 1 tried to do) in order to get Proper Human History back.

That's an escalation of threats.

Part 1 of HI3 has us beat a bad guy who already beat/became the big bad guy. Part 1.5 has setup for a new bad guy that is potentially much more dangerous than what we dealt with in part 1.

And part 2 has us traveling to a completely new planet with a completely new cast with enemies that looks much less threatening than Honkai beasts...

And the planet is not even Venus. Its not even a flashback through Vita's/Sa's eyes.

...

The more I think about it the less I understand how this even ties into part 1.5

I've seen people say that "well, GGZ did the same with a new cast for its part 2/Reborn!" and my argument to that is that EVERYONE DIED IN RETROSPECTIVE. THEY LOST. GGZ is way closer to PE and CE than to part 1 to part 2 of HI3.

WOW. Did not expect to rant in this post.
