Just a heads up. We missed the captions for Will of the Herrscher but the rest of the videos had them turned on. Hope you all enjoy our longest reaction!
Such a well written story is a f2p mobile game (also playable on pc now) is very hard to believe, itโs honestly one of the best stories that I have ever experienced in any content that I have ever consumed, the delivery of the story in game from the voice acting to the build up and the visuals is simply exquisite. Thanks for your reaction to the videos guys I absolutely enjoyed your takes, there are 3 that you missed out on, the durandal and Otto chronicles and the latest trailer which is called โpart 1 finaleโ. The last video of the flamechasers is hard to explain without giving a lot of context from the latest chapters in game. You guys should definitely play the game on or off camera just for the experience. Also if you guys want you can react to the pv trailers (character trailers) which has some amazing music and visuals, you can try reacting to the two concerts too if you want xD
My life is complete ๐
I guess, you would add some of these song in to the playlist…. ๐
i believe i asked you guys to react to this but this caught me by a hella surprise i thought u guys weren't gonna watch it what a splendid misjudge.
If it's one way to describe this game, as someone who's been playing since 4.1 (aka a long time).. Painful. It can and will inflict pain lol But it's such a great game, I love it
I hope you'll react to all Arknights event trailers ๐ its fine doing it from the most recent to the concept trailer.
2:15:08 – as you can see he mentioned that souls cannot be recovered/revived when they dissipitate, meaning he tried to revive kallen kaslana with everything he can even making a lot of clones of her in pods (like kiana hence the name K-423 [kallen clone #423]). But they will be born with different personalities leading to his harsh experiments in the future. This part is where he made another branch/future, when he touched the tree then made the tree grew another branch (multiverse lol) and change what happened in the past to save kallen from dying.
The final lesson is so good people with zero knowledge of the game get sad ๐ญ
Nice reaction. here since god of war and starcraft reactions.
Just sharing some info
In The last video they are the current era "world serpent" the one where Mei joined that is said to be bad guys. They are called the Flame Chasers during the "previous era" and as video 1 said they lost. Mei just went to flashback arc. Of all the Flame Chaser the only one alive of the original is Fu Hua and Kevin Kaslana.
3 main important families against honkai (schariac, apocalypse, kaslana).
house apocalypse are like the Illuminati secretly ruling the world being (Otto and Theresa "principal")
house kaslana are like knights they are best known strong blood that are often known to sacrifices themselves in battle. their signature weapon is what ken said cool weapon that is hold by otto but the original is either with Kevin kaslana "ancestor of kiana" of seigfried "father of kiana".
Kallen Kaslana is one of kiana's ancestor 500 yrs ago. Otto considered her as a true hero and he is the #1 follower. in the 2 to the last video he said that this world wronged heroes and breed scum. so in a anti hero manner he made himself a villain (fight evil with evil). he made it so that the current timeline has a fighting chance no matter the cost. after testing the heroes kiana and company. he went to the world tree and gave kallen of the past another timeline where she wasn't dead. sacrificing himself in the process but living the current era with a powerful kiana and bianca. Otto actually hated the fact that the kaslana always sacrifices themselves for the good of others. the irony of it all is that otto died using the weapon clone of the symbol of the kaslana and dying in a kaslana way even though he is an apocalyse and hated the kaslana fate.
our kiana is a clone made from kallen and sirin the 2nd godlike honkai.
I was waiting all, but not Honkai, is My favorited Mobile Game
This game started out as a mobile game. And it ABSOLUTELY NO RIGHT to be this good. Great story, great characters, killer music, fun gameplay. Very little p2w. I suggest you play it sometime. You'd be doing yourself a disservice by just watching it.
(หตยฏอใฐยฏอหต)
I watched 3 hours after it was released and still rewatching it. I love how you approach the reaction by adding some lore videos to get some context and some bonus discussion <3 (PS. Waiting for Max0r video reactions) More poweeeeer!
You should also react to the gameplay trailers aswell for each version that has been released
Hello, I really liked your reactions, new subscriber. I would like you to react to this video to understand more about Otto's character, who for me is one of the best written characters in video games. Thanks for your videos.
https://youtu.be/-lLyItC9LHM
you should do arknights next!
Amazing reaction but more importantly the 2nd break real life talk as well! I'm sure you've read it a couple of times already but Honkai is basically the embodiment of "angst" but as a player for a couple of years now I have to say that the story is extremely deep so it's fine to not understand everything perfectly in an instant (especially Elysian's story if you didn't play the game and only react to the shorts).
Now the interesting part: They have a little show that's two seasons long called Cooking with Valkyries which focuses mostly on cooking and don't have that much angst in them. Are you by chance checking those out too? The chinese version even has english recipes at the end of the videos while (in my opinion) the japanese dub sounds better (but the recipes are in japanese).
on the part "thus spoke apocalypse" both children is young otto and kallen. he is trying to change the fate of kallen death for over hundred years ago with all sacrifice and blood (include kiana and mei arc). he is the one that sceme all of the mess until now. but i can't fully blame him, cause he is trying to save the one he loved. and this is the bigest plot twist on this game.
I just notice today your video and this was already published 3 days ago, thanks for making a reaction video about honkai
When you guys watched Because of you (the last video).
All the hurt came back, for the non-players it is just a video but to us captains it was very painful.
The game gave us one year to bond with the flame chasers and that last video was their final good bye to us.
GLORY TO THE 13!!!!!
๐ฅฒ๐ฅฒ๐ฅฒ๐ฅฒ
I still cant brain elysia changes, its the most beautiful transformation ever (one of reasons i whale for her)
Kevin
-kevin
The whole game was otto arc ๐คฃ
Idk what's next arc
30:57 should be before 24:29
So, some of those videos are a bit out of order, of the four videos about Bronya and Seele you watched the third one was the first one made and it was also retconned out.
The first one you watched is a summary of the backstory manga they made for them which is why there are so many still images in it.
Also TLDR they were in the same orphanage, which also happened to be doing experiments, and lovers is all but official by now.
Still, I'd highly recommend playing the game, the cinematics are great but are maybe 5% of the context because they're used to cap the end of an entire story arc.
Love your take on these cinematics, and I think you are absolutely right when you pick out the big message that sacrifice shouldn't be made too cheaply. That living is harder, and more valuable. As Otto says at the end of his story, sacrificing himself (and millions of people as collateral damage ๐ฌ) to let Kallen love in another timeline is "the most selfish thing one can do".
play the game…. it is amazing
you guys should do the cooking with Valkyries series next
I want to tell alot of things but I feel like playing the game and reading the mangas would give more context cause the last thing I saw was the flamechasers and all my brain is just left with grief cause of flamechaser things and kevin kaslana memes
Congratulations you just earned yourself another subscriber and those onion cutting ninjas always appears when I watch honkai cinematic reaction
I decided to download honkai again while watching this
The company that makes this game and many others have made a sort of shared multiverse – the Herrschers being a repeating linking element even if they are not openly called that in some games E.G in Genshin Impact before you select which of the twins you want to be your avatar they are suddenly attacked by a powerful foe simply called Unknown God from out of nowhere that looks almost identical to the Herrscher of the Void and in their much earlier game (2014) post apocalyptic zombie Gun Girl Z the world was ended by the Herrscher
Finnally it's worth for waiting since the genshin vid from a long time ago
It really has been a while since I've seen such a nice reaction to Honkai cinematics. I like how you guys went into the lore, had some feels towards the main characters and pretty much understood what was going on (for the most part). Honkai is not a happy story, but realistic. It's why I personally love the game so much, empathising and connecting with the characters, how they feel, what they think, why they make these decisions is my favorite part of this whole story.
For the last part (Talking about Otto's cinematics and Elysia's), there are some videos that have some lore about them, they'll definitely make you understand those cinematics. I personally reccomend Otto's Chronicles (Similar to Kiana's). As an extra, Elysian Realm's story is not connected much with Kiana and the others, however, Raiden Mei was the protagonist in that whole section of Honkai, sadly she did not make an appeareance in the cinematic.
I enjoyed a lot this video, thank you!
Really love how your reaction video goes smoothly with the insert discussions between those important parts.
๐๐๐
You know what?
i was going to stop watching you after you didn't turn on your subtitles. but i come and read your comment.
Oh you turn on the later vids.
nice reaction nice question and understanding on you two.
and one thing that makes me a question, how many glasses of water did you drink on the whole video?lol XD
I like your reaction. Understanding before judging and not forcing reactions like "omg look at this, omg look at that". I like honest reaction channels a lot and I also didn't get the last one about the 13 Flame Chasers because it was exactly a whole year of story with side stories and mysteries and it was too much info
Also, because I liked your commentary of the conflict between Kiana and Mei. Some context: In that instance when Kiana was sick and had 2 months to live, she wasn't completely thinking rationally. She was still blaming herself for the death of her mentor and aunt, Himiko. And on some level, thought it'd be better if she had died instead. Faced with her own powerlessness and kiana's willingness to work herself to death, World serpent gave Mei an ultimatum: Join them and become what she had fought against to save her best friend, or don't and watch her friend die. Obviously, Mei was aware of what kiana would think about this. But Kiana herself had basically given up on living and she wasn't giving anyone alternatives. So, Mei made a hard choice. Neither one of them was completely in the right or the wrong, because it was a conflict between selflessness that bordered on self destruction and selfishness that bordered on corruption.
20:19 that's hurt me
There is way more lore in game, it is tough to make out what is happening based on these animated shorts alone. The sort of series of stills that explains each characters' story in detail are helpful but still do not do it justice.
For reference, almost all of these characters are present very early in the game. The exception would be Kevin and other flame-chasers. The way the shorts are shown it makes it seem like some of the characters are just introduced after various chapters in the story, and it also rewinds a lot to explain the story of others. In your watch through we first see Kiana then Bronya then Mei then Fu Hua etc. But they are all together at St Freya at the start of the game. Fu Hua also gets a far more fleshed out story spanning multiple in-game chapters.
Theresa Apocalypse who is the little girl you see leading the far-east branch and eventually all of Schicksal is also a very important character who is around a lot in-game but doesn't even have an animated short with more than a still of her appearing. Basically, Otto has been alive for 500+ years and he has been trying to revive Kallen Kaslana who is his childhood friend from the 1400s. The toy you guys mentioned is because Otto grew up as a sickly child and was not strong or anything, so he believed he was of little value. He did however, invent things, one such thing being that plane and Kallen thought it was cool and complimented him on it. Remember this is the 1400s, so someone who could invent something like that is pretty impressive.
An approach he took in the past was to make clones of her in hopes that they'd be recreations of her, but like he stated, once the soul dissipates, fragments can make it to the new vessel in rebirth but never the entire collection of fragments. Theresa is one such clone and a more successful one at that, as I believe many other attempts barely have any personality whatsoever and are robot-like, while Theresa is her own person. For this reason, Otto gives her a name and calls her his granddaughter. She is also perpetually 12 years old, which is why it may look strange that a little girl is principal of St Freya and leader of the organizations. She is actually much older, IIRC she is 60 something or 80 something years old.
Another important thing to note is that Kevin is the leader and strongest flame-chaser from the previous era and his last name is Kaslana. Meaning he has blood ties to Kallen Kaslana from the 1400s and Kiana Kaslana from present day.
There is also another almost entire game existing in Honkai called "A Post-Honkai Odyssey. (APHO)" This happens many years in the future and you get to see many of the younger characters all grown up. I have not played Honkai in a while so I don't know the story on this, or Elysian Realm, but there are some trailers for APHO that are pretty cool and they most recently released a trailer for the finale of part 1 of the story, in which we can see our 3 main girls going up against Kevin. It's really beautifully animated and worth checking out.
RIP Himeko :โ(
The move that Kiana learnt from Fu Hua at around 1:20:00 is not exactly Doctor Strange, but is part of one of Chinese teachings Called Tai Xuan Jing. There's even the Taichi symbol in the middle.
Totally worth my time๐๐also, will you react to all the pvs๐ค
One curious data:
In the video you said that you dont know who was Elisya and the Flamechasers:
They were the mantis of previous era who were told in fu hua video thats why she and Kevin were there, they were their teamates and friends who died in the battle against the final herrcher of the previous era.
This Flamechasers that we see in the video were a simulacrum Made of their memories that lives in a virtual World called Elisyan Realm.
I think they released a mini video explaining this arc. After the video of Elisyan realm you saw and Its told in a chibi format i suggest you to watch It even of you dont react, It Will give you More clarification of the story ๐
I always feel like i need to point this out, but in the introduction video when they start talking about who you are is just an old idea. You actually dont exist in the main story at all, you only exist in some event stories that people call "Captainverse"
Thanks for the honkai reaction……I really enjoyed it ๐
