The Penacony story was so good that i got pissed when i saw "To be continued"

[andrewfigueras]

I'm from the future where I've seen the entire video, and I can tell you it absolutely slapped

[DraconicedgePD]

8:55 akivili is the traiblaze aeon, nanook is the destruction aeon

[ytsora]

They made an entire video to showcase the villian group looking absolute class
Me after the story: Damm...

[hqhuy]

Penacony's side quest with the lady at the clothing shop kinda broke me more than the main story - the joy at the ending, then finding out she's still there was quite realistic in a crushing way

[spell]

"Wholesome and fun vacation" I should've known better when I saw him

[valaurus]

As someone who has never stopped playing Star Rail - that "welcome back" stuff and guide is very cool and I had no idea it was even a thing. Awesome way to bring people back in

[myreilleleblanc]

"I hope all of this is going to be in an awesome and PLEASANT way" I am mostly pleased with Penacony, but wow did they surprise and literally sadden me with certain events I WISH were a dream....

[hriata]

8:11 because you enter dream world in your birthday suit if you're not clothed 🤣

That writer is very VERY GOOD
He really writes deeps characters he knows how to make people connect to them and he also very good at make those characters fly high unfortunately a lot of characters are flying too high but
He really did a great job in penacony the constant mysterious aura in the story constantly pouring gasoline to already burning curiousity lf readers there's always question and hints but never the answer there's no apparent villian Because their actions are for their own goals that we doesn't know (accept the sparkle she's a follower of aha she's neutral she just wants joy)
even though options doesn't changes the outcome illusion of choice is really nice
Unfortunately story is 3 different parts and its gonna be frustrating because I'm probably gonna lost the effect of the story and there's some places that unnecessary extended most of them for gameplay puzzle things but still storywise penacony is very good but I finish it yesterday so I'm still amazed by it so I can't really see the negative things completely for now

Named the wrong aeon Necrit Akivili is the aeon trailblaze, the path the pc follows. Nanook is the aeon of destruction

[mochitheraccoon]

8:55 "Akivili *The destruction*"
*sigh*
*goes to the comments*

[zoaholic]

HSR has lots of meme reference, dark stories, unique character designs (Please make Sam playable), endgame content, decent amount of rewards and tons of QoL. It has everything that Genshin lacks despite being 9 months old.

[DKX]

HSR was my GOTY 2024 and I consider myself a hardcore PC gamer. I have 100%ed Penacony, cried at -you know when- and would like to mention that Sparkle did nothing wrong.

[HB_]

8:56 Akivili is the Aeon of Trailblaze, whilst Nanook is the Aeon of Destruction, just a minor mistake.

[CrazyPigCarrots]

It's awesome that Aurelion Sol's VA voices Duke Inferno

[fishtonk]

2:04 this is a system i actively look for in a gacha game, and it will determine whether or not i will come back to a gacha game. hoyoverse always does this, but its a shockingly rare thing, its to a point where i have quit games because they refused to introduce me to all the new mechanics.

[zanuka]

the story, the characters, the world building, the level design, the minigames, the new ennemies are all good and pretty inspired while showering us of wishes. really 10/10 update

[sonmaianh]

Congrate on your second child, man! Wish your family a happy new year!

[rol]

The sidequests in Penacony were some of the darkest content we ever got lol. Chadwick's quest is honestly the most astonished I have been at any point of the Star Rail lore.
