This boss fight was so special from others, its because Sunday never had any malicious intent. It was all just a mere ideology clash, and secondly THE GOATED OST i actually felt suspense near the end, have i never felt such towards fiction.
Honest Sunday's ideology was theoretically way better since it guarantees survival and eternal-fleeting happiness. The only issue was that he doesn't have the means to implement it.
He even chose to sacrifice himself instead of his sister. I think he's truly "selfless" where he takes on everyone's grievances but never acts on his "own", no matter how much he wishes to be with robin (platonically).
@@ColdFury1there is no actual eternal happiness right , let's say you were transported to a world where you will get everything you ever wanted, for the first few days/months/years you will definitely be super blissful and happy but once you realise that if everything ever you want is given to you then life is just boring, and mundane It is the hard ship's which makes those moments happy So if you were to live in a perfect blissful world with no conflict then you will eventually be felt trapped in a cage of unending boredom and despair

@@bryan-kw3me From my understanding, the "true death" was mentioned by himeko which is if they did not succeed and everyone gets stuck in the dream of the order, and they mentioned they needed to prevent that, which in the end they did.
The Herrscher of Thunder call backs in this quest is insane from "Why" playing in the background as Acheron reveals her name as "Raiden Bosenmori Mei" and paying homage to Kiana and Mei when Acheron was reaching out for us while we were falling, this made me go INSANE XD
@@bukojoetheslapsoils8273 hoyo fans doesn't know what good plot means lol all because genshin kinda affected them with it's terrible pacing(never let them know how prime Disney cooks)
Penacony's arc was so satisfying to play. Completely restored my love for the game after a long period of burnout. The part where Robin swooped down to her brother for a well needed hug was so heartfelt and satisfying, paired with the soft piano. He needed to be woken up from his dream just like the rest of Penacony.
Fr my passion for this game went crazy after penacony, since xianzhou flopped so hard for me this arc was a make it or break it and I'm happy they landed it
the last ending after sunday's fall is also a fake ending..tbh the only scene that was real is the post credit one with boothill and aventurine confrontation
@@familyquek8316it’s because Sumeru’s story was well written : all character worked together, we had good plot twists, very charismatic characters that were really smart (unlike what we saw in Inazuma with Kokomi…) etc
Aye. Did anyone here wonder.. what happened with the sparkle button in the end? That sucker been distributing his elation everywhere.. but i don't see that thing being used..
To be honest, I have never felt so excited because of the story before. This is the best story ever. I love the plot, it's complex and intriguing. But then it becomes one unity
We clearly have more in store in 2.3. Firefly's 2 deaths, the buttons Sparkle gave away, Boothill and Aventurine, not to mention I would imagine that we get some peace negotiations like the fake ending intended. And, we still havent seen Firefly'(SAM)s green winged form. Im guessing we'll get a prologue with Firefly's POV, where we witness these deaths. Himeko mentioned the third death being put to unending sleep by the Order. So the second death probably happens inbetween the fake ending and our walk through the grand theather. But just who will she confront that will require her to use that form of her armor?
Probably Firefly went after the current leader of Penacony (the one who talks through crows). In the cutscene after her departure, we can see all the crows “turning off” and dropping next to Sunday, which means, she was successful.
@@venargraden9773 That makes sense. But I hope she doesnt actually die... probably not considering shes already playable, but how will this second death really unfold? I wonder if this battle will end in a way where she sacrifices herself
@@ElizeniasFunkinArtNVA I believe we’ll get her episode in 2.3 on what she did and how. (She also said that she would die at least once in the process.). Another thing I’d like to see is episode Argenti - what he did in Penacony and how he get in and out of IX
@@venargraden9773 Also speaking of Argenti, he didnt have any voicelines when I played it. Like his voice just wasnt there. Was that a glitch on my end or?
With this quality of animation and story quest for 2.2, we can safely assume that hoyoverse got millions of revenue with 2.1 banners 😂😂😂 seriously with each patch the game is becoming better and better :)
True, for me the final fight with Phantylia and overall story of Luofu is so underwhelming I quit the game lol, then I comeback at 1.6 because of ruan mei quest
same dude omg when i defeated the first one i was like this cud not be the end- lo and behold i was right. i cant imagine a more satisfying ending xD to think we might have one more update in penacony before we go off to another world/star system or something xD
i just started playing during Acheron's banner and now I didnt expect I am catching up with the current update of the finale of Penacony within a few days ago😱😱😱
Now that I think about it, the entire Jing Yuan cutscene was already a dead giveaway that it was a Dream since how the heck are you able to transport an entire fleet of Xianzhou Starskiff inside the dreamscape without any other family members even being somewhat concerned
The initial final boss seems pretty short and rushed compared to other previous bosses, even the doomsday is long to attack but the cutscene is pretty good after all
I didn't understand whether Jing became an Express passenger or crew member 3 more could join for Path and missing attributes, a male, a female and one as an alternative to the sex of the Trail blazer... to have a complete group
Damn I feel bad for sunday, the boss fight felt special since his intents were far from malicious, he was in fact very selfless, even in Robin's memory she asked if he ever had his own wish and he only said his wish is whatever is hers 💔
So did all of them enter the dream at the same time when MC enter a dream and meet acheron for the first time? Since we know Misha isnt real and we can just meet him in the dream, all story we do is a lie
My reaction to the scene: **Sunday gets defeated** Me: YAY **Cutscene Begins** Me: Oh boy, please no Phase 2… **Dragon Appears** Me: DAN HENG CAME TO SAVE ME OH MY- Jing Yuan: Radiant Spirit… Me: IS THAT THE GENERAL?? **Both show up on the screen** Me: **is completely speechless at how awesome that animation was and how badass the two looked**

Truer words have never been spoken

His idea wasn't bad, but it still not disclosure that it needs Stellaron, who would ended up killing everyone anyway
@@ColdFury1there is no actual eternal happiness right , let's say you were transported to a world where you will get everything you ever wanted, for the first few days/months/years you will definitely be super blissful and happy but once you realise that if everything ever you want is given to you then life is just boring, and mundane

Seeing Robin hugging Sunday while falling at this end... That is just perfection
The bond between siblings is unbreakable, reminded me of Gyutaro and Daki from Demon Slayer
Sorry but the detail of welt protecting himeko in 5:17 because he will not loose her again, that is perfection for me
Perfect callback to their childhood flashback about the bird
A caged bird (Sunday) falling to its death but a "Free" bird (Robin) saving it.
Just like their aeons, how Harmony embraces Order…

They looked so majestic during their cutscene though
I love them so muchh
Too bad it was all a dream 💀

They really went hard with this quest!

Shaozi may play with our feelings, but dang he writes a good story.
The hints of "if i can stop one heart from breaking" while Firefly was transforming 😭
Literally when Acheron grabbed the trailblazer hands when they were falling is a reference to the herrscher of thunder animation from Hi3.
It does!
Seeing Acheron true identity and that scene with the trailblazer falling made me think
“If rescuing you is a sin, then I’ll gladly be a sinner”

Arguably one of the best story Hoyoverse has ever written.
At first I though the boss fight was so underwhelming but then they took it to next level . Really feel proud for the creators
5:30 one reason I love trailblazer much more. peak mc moment
GIVE THEM ANOTHER DAMN AWARD
This boss battle gave us different experience from previous boss battle. emotional damage.
man, Jing Yuan and Imbibitor Lunae, 2 of the strongest individuals of the Luofu ganging up on Sunday is literally overkill
But himeko did say he could defeat them easily without doing shit. So debatable
it's really the best honkai star rail quest so far
I cant believe we throw the Astral Express at the boss
JING YUAN MY KING
His voice is🤤
2:35 to 2:53
Why does it sound like Sunday is playing Yu-Gi-Oh and he just summoned his Ace/Boss monster?
It does sound like iy
fr 😭😭😭
He is kaiba i summon mechanical eyes dragon
It's Time To Duel !
JING YUAN MY BELOVED!!! YOU HERE😭😭💞💞
the fake boss battle the fake out ending was so funny man this planet js so peak
I rewatch these cutscenes again and again. Not got sick of them yet- just incredible and epic
This is the best story Hoyoverse has ever told 🥺
Debatable
It’s either this or Sumeru.
@@Cyno_gaming I don’t personally like surmru story, but lots of people keep saying it’s peak fiction. Could you explain to me why?

Jingyuan literally one shotted Sunday
In dream lmao

Boothill called the other galaxy rangers to help right? These shooting stars should be them
I somehow thought that this was very cool to watch
Aye. Did anyone here wonder.. what happened with the sparkle button in the end?
That sucker been distributing his elation everywhere.. but i don't see that thing being used..
I was wondering that too..maybe next update??😵💫
They didn’t have to use it. It was a backup plan from Sparkle if the Charmony festival went forward as planned.
Absolute cinema 🗣️🔥🔥🔥🔥
THIS IS THE BEST PART 5:12
To be honest, I have never felt so excited because of the story before. This is the best story ever. I love the plot, it's complex and intriguing. But then it becomes one unity
JING YUAN COMING IN LIKE HE SAID HE WOULD FOR THE TRAILBLAZERS IS PEAK FICTION-

True, for me the final fight with Phantylia and overall story of Luofu is so underwhelming I quit the game lol, then I comeback at 1.6 because of ruan mei quest
The moment the astral express makes the intro I was so chilled!!
Even if the scene with dan heng and jing yuan's tandem was just a dream, this is still one of the best scenes that gave me goosebumps and hyped me up
I dont know why but the scene when TB taking the hat..it reminds me a scene in Assassin'S Creed Revelation where Ezio meet Altair remains
THIS WAS SO FUCKING PEAK
When we first beat the boss I was pretty underwhelmed but then the second time with robins music was amazing
same dude omg when i defeated the first one i was like this cud not be the end- lo and behold i was right. i cant imagine a more satisfying ending xD to think we might have one more update in penacony before we go off to another world/star system or something xD
I actually really enjoy the music in the cutscene where Archeron is destroying the dream. Nothing too special about it but its kind of relaxing in way
Everything that lead to the final fight gave me goosebumps!
DAN HENG AND JING YUAN LOOKED SO MAJESTIC DURING THEIR CUTSCENE TIME
I LOVE THEM SO MUCH
Happy this was a dream, this mean we will have a second Jing Yuan arrival later 👀👀
i just started playing during Acheron's banner and now I didnt expect I am catching up with the current update of the finale of Penacony within a few days ago😱😱😱
I love 5:10 so much. The vocals are just perfect. Makes me wanna cry for some reason. Seeing the express come in is just perfect
4:10 boothill does a ten pull.
i nearly cried i thought my bbg adventurine was dead and i would never see dan heng again but here we are
den heng and jing yuan combo easily the best scene in gacha history
I was full of question how they brought Jingyuan fleet inside dreamscape
then I woke up
Even if its a dream, JingBro dropped with a whole armada for us
I'M SOBBING
Is this What it feels like to read the writings of god? 😭
Dan Heng came out of nowhere with Jing Yuan 🪦Lmao
Did I just rewatched Jing yuan and dan heng scene oh replay.... .... Yes?
Bro, the last part made me cry 🥺
Oh, god. Is very nice story ever in Honkai Star Rail. And the end is very make me want to cry 😭😭
Even though the Xianzhou never really did show up, the soundtrack and everything about the scene was perfect
I hate how the thumbnail spoiled this scene for me before I finished the quest.
Nice I cry
Finally dang heng is here
In the end, talk no jutsu is the best
seeing dan heng and jing yuan together made me forget how to breathe
This arc is very random and complicated but i very like it cant wait for the next journey with the nameless
In 1.6 we had pure fiction
In 2.2 we have peak fiction
Now that I think about it, the entire Jing Yuan cutscene was already a dead giveaway that it was a Dream since how the heck are you able to transport an entire fleet of Xianzhou Starskiff inside the dreamscape without any other family members even being somewhat concerned

was lowkey so confused, i was wondering how the fleet got into the dream.
NO GUYS I THOUGHT I MESSED UP THE STORY OMS

I dont remember the story very well, after firefly transform into SAM again is she still alive or what ? I already play the story
How tf did they bring an entire army inside the dream
the best one, compared to the other quest
Wait wait wait. I'm worried.
Not even a peek about Aventurine?
Sunday reminds me with madara
We all now know archeron real name right? (Raiden bosenmori mei)
INCEPTION PENACONY IS REAL
Penacony quest just on another level, Xianzhou quest trast
2:54 DAN HENG YESSSSSSS
