7 Things That Were Deleted From Honkai: Star Rail

Star Rail used to be kinda wack in a lot of ways, but I guess that's to be expected from a game's closed beta testing

I assume the Belabog story was also changed because it'd be pretty hard to resolve something that extreme by just letting the underworlders up and replacing Cocolia with her daughter. It'd be hard to leave the planet feeling like things would get better if things were that extreme, and the planet stories aren't long enough to do the kind of storytelling that'd make it actually seem like it's getting better.

The classism plotline would have been good but making it work as an ending would be MAD difficult. its like solving eulas reputation problems in the spam of 3 days except now its a whole city who we’d have to fix the reputation of on TOP of replacing its ruler. 😭

OH
IS THE ORIGINAL CRYSTALISED MINERS THING WHY WE FIGHT MINERS AND THOSE FRAGMENTUM FROZEN SOLDIERS

Good video! Also if you're curious about the scar on clara's neck, she was originally supposed to die because of the geomarrow

The way the background fades in Dan Heng’s Ult at 1:31 was so cool. I wish they kept it tbh

Fersman In The Current Story: Appears In Both Main Story And Side Quests

Fersman In The OG Draft: 💀💀

Something I noticed in the old belabog story was the absence or mention of ANY stellaron.

[ennui]

Something I remember from HSR CBT is that dailies used to be the same comission-like system as genshin where you had to complete 4 daily missions instead of the simple tasks we have now

[CaptainMeleon]

its cool to see that the challenge mode not only was repurposed for divergent universe, but also for ZZZ in a very similar fashion, where you save your progress from a run to then fight a final boss with different objectives

IM SO GLAD THEY CHANGED MARCH'S VOICE ACTING. YOU HAVE NO IDEA THE RELIEF I FELT AFTER GOING FROM GENSHIN TO STAR RAIL WHEN IT RELEASED 😭

[AdrianArmbruster]

AFAIK characters you met in Simulated Universe would tell you about important backstory elements about themselves (somewhat similar to Gold and Gears or Swarm Disaster Skits). Kafka, for instance, would describe more or less her 'true' answers from what would become 1.2's Truth and Lies game.

5:38 Oh god I just saw this, Luocha needing 3 stacks to activate his Field!? Sheesh.

[Jacob_G]

the fact that we would have just started and the first world we go to had SPACE CANCER is insane.

[OseanArtzz]

I agree with most of the replies in the comments and as much as I love dark lore, old belobog doesn't fit well and doesn't leave you with a satisfying conclusion
Plus it's too fast for literally being the first storyline in game for things to get so dark, honestly I'm happy with the current storyline

[Otherface]

4:34 technically, they do appear in the game. And I say "technically" because only the png of the coin is used (known as Hertareum) so I'm not sure if it counts. I will leave that to you

2:21 12 days ago on hsrleaks reddit, full art for the 6 piece sets was posted. Shouldve looked harder I guess

[thendpanda]

Imagine if the game launched with the original Belobog storyline. You boot up the game expecting a cute spacefaring adventure, only to be thrown into Hoth With Apartheid and told to solve racism before the end of the week.

HSR had so much for thought in hindsight looking back in how so many early systems they've improved upon and then later brought back into the game knowing it would add to the player qol experience and just needed to polish thing's up, it really is a hallmark of a good developer who cares about they're craft vs a bad one who would rather ignore they're potential customers for giving negative feedback and then call them toxic, then improve upon they're craft

[NotQuartz]

I don’t have any footage but I can confirm that the achievement leveling system used to give pulls. I don’t remember which of the 2 pull types it was, but I also remember the system being really nice early on but feel worthless later since it took more and more xp to get through each level.

3:57 Thank GOD they brought this back.. farming planars became SO easy after DU
