Considering that Finality is arguably the most important Path in HSR’s overarching lore alongside Trailblaze, and the Trailblazer has already unlocked 5 of the 7 elements, if their 6th Path ends up being Finality, then surely their 7th and final Path would be Trailblaze. I just can’t think of any Path that would be more significant for the Trailblazer than Finality, other than Trailblaze itself.

If that’s the case, HSR’s main story could end much earlier than many of us expected, potentially around Version 6.X.

Do you all think the story is progressing too quickly? Or would ending this chapter of HSR’s story in Version 6.X feel like the right pace?

As someone who plays both Genshin Impact and Honkai: Star Rail, I see a lot of parallels in how their writers have structured their stories throughout the years.

Version 1 of Genshin Impact basically released two respective regions, Mondstadt and Liyue, which are a Western-based nation and a Chinese-based nation. The same goes for Version 1 of HSR, where we were introduced to Belobog and the Xianzhou Luofu.

When we were in Mondstadt, the main villain was Dvalin, who was corrupted by the Abyss Order, while in Liyue we were introduced to our first Fatui Harbinger (an important antagonistic faction), Childe, who was even the main boss of that nation.

After playing the Version 1 content of HSR, I see how the patch cycles of both games are in parallel. We were in Belobog, where the main villain was Cocolia, who was being manipulated by the voices of the Stellaron (notice how both Dvalin and Cocolia have similar roles in their respective nations/worlds), while in the Xianzhou Luofu we were officially introduced to our first Lord Ravager (important antagonists throughout the story), Phantylia, and fought her as the main boss of that world.

Version 2 of Genshin was when we went to Inazuma and got the Raiden Mei expy of that game, Raiden Shogun, while the main antagonist of that arc was none other than Raiden Ei herself, the Archon and ruler of that nation. Version 2 of HSR had similar patterns when we went to Penacony, were introduced to Acheron (the Raiden Mei expy of HSR), and had the main antagonist be Sunday, the Family head of Penacony.

Version 3 of Genshin was when we went to Sumeru, the nation of knowledge, and learned that Scaramouche, the Fatui Harbinger, was in the process of being transformed into a god, orchestrated by Dottore, once a scholar of the Akademiya. Version 3 of HSR was when we went to Amphoreus, where we learned that it was actually a detached divine corpus of Nous the Erudition (Erudition means knowledge), and that this Scepter was in the process of ascending into a Lord Ravager, orchestrated by Lygus, the First Genius.

Version 4 of Genshin was when we went to Fontaine and learned about a prophecy that the whole nation would soon flood and that Fontainians would dissolve because of it, while the All-Devouring Narwhal was the beast behind it all. We also met another Fatui Harbinger, Arlecchino (I never played Fontaine myself, so there could be a few mistakes here). In Version 4 of HSR, we went to Planarcadia and learned from Yao Guang that the whole world is in Woe because part of the divine corpus of Oroboros the Voracity is being sealed beneath Planarcadia. We also met another Lord Ravager, Asat Pramad.

While I know both the Genshin and Honkai universes are separate, the pattern of their storylines is still parallel. For now, Genshin is about to progress to Version 7, and the next two regions after Fontaine are Natlan and Nod-Krai. I don't know, but perhaps we could use Genshin's storyline to predict what could happen in HSR's future storylines and even what the next worlds we will be going to are.

Let me know what y'all think.

Honestly as someone who knows literally nothing about Fate, I was genuinely so confused at the dialogue, the lore and everything. It’s so much more different from other story quests about the Aeons and Paths that I’ve played - as if this Fate story is catered only for Fate fans. It feels like playing a whole different game. I thought 3.4’s Fate story was so much better.

All 5 collab characters have no voices especially Rin who had the most dialogue. These 2 combined makes my experience with this part of Fate’s story worse than I expected.

What do y’all think?

Guys I might be crazy about this theory but what if the next weekly boss we face in Astropolis is Luxbane cuz it has ties to the Voracity and I cant think of a better time for that Lord Ravager to show up

Guys how was the paper today? Most of the questions at the front seemed easy but I’ll say quite a few questions were made tricky and the isomers questions just made everything harder. What do you guys think?

Okay so I have a very serious question: I’m new to CIE myself so in 9701/34 today I probably made one mistake in my earlier calculation in Q2 but if my workings and formulas for the rest of the calculations are correct even tho the values are all wrong do I still get the marks?

I somehow couldn’t get the correct Ar so I just guess the cation in Q2 as caesium… Do I still get the mark or do I lose it?

How much do you guys think the threshold for A for this paper will be?

Okay so I’m taking this paper next week so does anyone have any predictions on what might come out and does anyone have tips and tricks for this paper so it goes smoothly and I don’t mess up?

My practical exam is coming up next week and I really don’t know what to expect. Does anyone have any predictions, clues or even any tips and tricks so I can do well in the exam?

What are everyone’s thoughts on 9701/22 today?
