*UPDATE* As of making this video there wasn’t much info out about the lore but now the game is officially out, I’ll be making some updated videos about all of it!

I don't know if I'm more hyped for the game itself, or for all the LORE!! We need all the crack Star Rail theories.

One thing about different characters, Welt in HSR is the actual Welt from Honkai Impact 3rd

PLEASE KEEP MAKING LORE VIDEOS WE HAVE SO LITTLE OF THESE AND THEY HELP SM

All the aeons so far look so cool. I wonder if we'll ever actually get to interact with them in game

At first, Jarilo meaning Spring was ironic but by the end of the story arc I thought it was a fitting name to go with the theme of Spring and hope coming after winter and rebuilding the nation and new growth.

i think something to note is that the honkai exist to ''test'' a civilisation, if they ''pass'' they are allowed to continue developing in the imaginary tree into advanced civilisations like the one in star rail. the civilisations we see in game have clearly passed this test being far more technologically advanced in an overall sense compared to the HI3 civilisation (although lacking in areas around honkai and universe travelling research, which is understandable) but despite this the stellarons attack continue to attack them in a similar way to honkai, which doesn't really add up when its already been explained multiple times that the honkai basically act as protectors to the tree in a similar way to white blood cells why would the imaginary tree send a force to destroy worlds that have (presumably) passed its honkai test and have been blessed with beings who are arguably far stronger than herrschers (with the obvious exceptions like the MC trio and senti) send another universal force to test them again? stellarons *could* just be another name for quanta but welt doesn't point out any connection between the two, which is weird because he's constantly saying things like ''i thought [insert star rail thing] was [insert honkai thing] but i later realised they were different'' when you ask him about lore. so either A. the aeons and the civilisations they create aren't as pure and godlike as they present themselves as (which wouldn't be surprising). or B. whatever stellarons are, they come from outside the imaginary-quanta system...which has some terrifying implications.

It is same universe as HI3rd, thought - Welt, Carol and Hersheronya are from there, after the events of Post-Honkai Odyssey.

Belobog gives so much FFVII's Midgar vibes.

Great video! I'm so glad to see more creators finally getting into the lore for the game. HYPE

i love your videos! thank u for this, i'm so excited for the star rail stream and release:D

you're the best! thanku for the amazing guide ^^

Awesome video! Thanks for making it!

This is so helpful!! :]

Awesome video as allways oofie❤ very imformative and well done.😁

As a person that use to watch voltron it kind of weird I could see the connection they have between them.

great video! it's so helpful to just know more about this universe and im glad we dont need to know that much honkai 3rd lore to enjoy it. the refs to genshin also help me understand what any of these titles mean haha XD also love your voice!

Great introduction video for newbies, thanks! I will definitely give Star Rail a chance, I'm hoping for it to be some sort of anime Mass Effect 😅 Also, I really like that it is designed in a way so that Genshin players will feel at home right from the start, but it implements some core paradigms opposite to Genshin's - like turn-based combat with the option for auto-battle and linear level design as opposed to open world. This seems like a very well thought out design decision by HoYo in the way that the intensity and pace of both games will be totally different and Star Rail can possibly draw in a large number of Genshin players like myself without making them drop Genshin. I mean, if I had to explore another open world designed to get you sidetracked all the time due to the hundreds of calls to action, I'd probably go nuts and be a lot more reluctant to try Star Rail 😂At least those are my impression right now, before I have actually played the game. Ultimately, it is up to how good the story is that will determine whether I stick to Star Rail or not, that's my main motivating factor. I am in love with Genshin's story and lore so I trust HoYo. On the other hand, I really wanted to love Honkai Impact as well, but despite the magnificent aesthetics and combat system, the story was too convoluted for me to follow and I had to drop it unfortunately. That's why I'm also very happy that Star Rail is doing its own thing, despite being in the same shared multiverse as all of HoYo's other games. 😊

I'm offended Oofie, you forgot to add my boi Luka on his path >:ccc (but great video, loved it hahah. Am gonna rush to watch the other one!)

THE MUUUUUUUUUSIC at the start!!!!!!!!! omg, its to die for

Ah yes. Honkai Star Whirl World Building

Really great video, thank you! I would recommend you to check out some pronounciation videos on Xianzhou names, that part was a lil painful, in a light-hearted way. :D

Somthing intresting regarding GI Aeon herrscher archon are the same thing In gi the 7 elemants are from the light realm and light elemant thats baisicly img energy and probably the img tree The aechon imbody an ideal and don't go aginst it So thay are an aeon split in 7 (Tsarita wanting aeno to awaken with the gnosis)

Love the lore :)

Huh. You would think Himeko would be on the Destruction path. Considering Honkai Impact Lore.

Fun fact: The Welt in Starrail is the same as the one in 3rd

So in the same way that the Traveler is likely gonna get some kinda new light element at some point the Trailblazer is probably gonna create their own Path considering they're literally called the Trailblazer.

Nice :)

Can you make a video on which character should pull

why does clara have the destruction path? if she's not violent at all, or is it just for gameplay purpose?

Is Kiana a path strider that became an emanator? Are hershers emanators?

The amout of Hi3 and GI theorys i have

Like are aeons Herrschers with different titles or are they just similar I do believe the Honkai has something to do with this

A video in a tweet by honkai starrails account was all about honkai 3rd so brought me here. It makes it look like honkai 3rd is important to understand before you play starrail? What are your thoughts?

Aren't aeons like the stigmata forms from hi3 just juiced up to ten

Do you think aeon's would ever become playable?

01:46 “Philisophical” ….

Making so many pulls that you can't afford to activate windows. Choices have been made.

When is star rail coming out

So fourth game will be genshin star rail, nice

Philosophical*

Playable Aeons please 😭❤️

Im gonna main Danheng. HE IS SO HOT!!!

Hi i have a question why is mihoyo using german words often like herscher(ruler), Welt(world) and so on?

Wait wait, trailblaze is dead?, did he not vanish?

Luocha

Qingque is pronouced Ching-che actually! 5:26

*Explains the state of Belobog* League of legends players: Wait a minute...

0:16 “so new players can still play without knowing all the Honkai lore” And also so old players can cry while playing

🚂

It's a very good video with some small errors, but tbh they are mostly harmless to new players. There are more than 14 paths and it's stated that more can be created. Aeons are way above herrschers and archons. Emanators are more on their level. It should be stated that gameplay paths and lore paths are separate. The main crew are Akivilis folowers, not what the gameplay role tells you. Also, people need to stop comparing stellarons to visions, they are more like gnosis if anything (it screams herrscher core).

Are the characters actually following their in-game path according to the lore? Clara has given no indication she follows the path of Destruction, the whole Astral Express crew should be the same path since they all follow the path of the trailblaze, Ruan Mei is definitely not trying to promote Harmony, and Argenti is part of the Knights of Beauty, not the Genius society.

*Promosm*

So after HI 3'rd recent part 1 ending, while there is part 1.5 and APHO - I genuenly want to see how Star Rail will aproach it's stoty. How it will go about Honkai, that is not contained to single planet. What will Kiana and Mei be like. (Because, obviously they'll be there. I mean 'cmon). Because for me the saga of HI 3 has ended and I want to experience this one rught from the start. Which is going to be first of 3 Hoyo games for me to go in on launch. However. There is couple big Buts. And I am not talking about Himeko or others here. But rather I really, really DO NOT want them to go APHO on us again. Because them releasing it the they did made me go: " wait who? what? huh?". While killing all of the stakes and totally losing me both in the plot and in the interest. Thus making me skip a solid year. And I will not, not even for a single moment will be surpried to see Kiana going "Sup" in APHO 3. So, while I am exited for the "potential" of Star Rail's story, I hope, that Hoyo learned from the past, will have a flowing new adventure. And I am fully on board of that train for it.

Funny how the words describing all the other paths tend to be considered positive while the nihility is j laziness, exhaustion and meaningless behavior.

i think genshin and honkai impact and star rail are all the same universe

What if honkai star rail is set hundreds of years after Genshin (I know it doesn’t make sense becuase of the unknown god)
