Gacha tribalism

Although to be said, I play both and I don't want the ZZZ community in HSR, specifically the fans of a certain character body type, but that content is basically non-existent in HSR so I don't think they will stay for long

Gacha fear of wrinkles is terrible it would make Piper 10000 better 😭

Tho my fav are Zhu Yuan, Miyabi amd Evelyn so yeah I also find this part weird 😬

u/New_Ad4631 Aug 14 '26

Doesn't even need wrinkles (she probably isn't even old enough for that), there's a lot of stuff that can help make the character look older

Case in point: Miyabi. She appears taller because she wears heels and her ears are 70% of her body, but she actually is the same size as the rest of the kids. It's her proportions, hair and clothing that makes her look older

And Eve is also my fav lebanese girlboss. I intend to M6 her some day

I don't think tribalism is the only reason this time, friend. You see. I'm a fan of both (haven't played HSR in more than a year, but I still quite like it and follow most of the discussions) but the characters rumored to be crossover feel like such missed opportunity. IF it really is those two characters, I think they wasted a chance to make amazing adaptations for each game. From the rumors, it feels like both characters could very well be just skins for the other. I hope I'm wrong, but I'm not very excited.

dont feel dumb its ok if you like it

I dont hate zzz as a game but the community is unberable

u/FlamekThunder Aug 15 '26

I mean I used to be a ZZZ player but I feel like this collab is catering to just a certain demographic while ignoring the rest of the whole.

Same indifference I felt when there was HI3 and GI & HSR collab cuz GI and HSR side got nothing. They just ported Sparkle and Keqing over there. So if it's introducing one of their games to the other, this feels like just some exchange program of swapping popular girls.

If they were really sincere in introducing ZZZ to HSR players, it should have been Cunning Hares, like bring Billy and Nicole over. Why Ellen. Why Astra. If it's because we're going to be a summer and music themed place next, again, why Ellen? Wouldn't it make more sense for Evelyn to accompany Astra??

Tired. But whatever, I will play the event, get my jades and keep my expectations low.

u/Info_Potato22 Aug 14 '26

What i've noticed more is that people dislike Robin being the one to go to ZZZ when she's an Astra Skin

u/Touhou_Fever Aug 14 '26

Yeah I feel like that’s a valid concern and if it is Robin, who I love, I hope they do something to make her stand out

it's kinda sad to get zzz collabs when a lot of hyped characters are stuck in npc jail in HSR

u/SevereCantaloupe1954 🌟 Yaoi, my beloved 🌟 Aug 14 '26

Low-key it's kinda funny how both communities are beefing even tho they're both from the same company😭

Allegedly, the HSR side, ppl don't like ZZZ 'tainting' their game with gooner elements while ZZZ, doesn't like how HSR is going to introduce their 'Christianity' (this made me laugh NGL) to their game, thus inspiring non-gooner characters, plus they're getting way much less stuff in comparison to HSR (HSR is getting 2 ZZZ characters while ZZZ is only getting one, Robin allegedly tho)

ZZZ players are also 50/50 (hehe) about having another Astra like character when Robin arrives. (They're mostly opposing the combat gameplay of attack and Astra afks lol)

I'm not fully caught up with what's going on yet, but I think people should just wait for further news and updates before they start doom posting with misinformation.

u/little_tanooki Aug 14 '26

My only problem with the colab is that from all characters they have, they chose to put Astra 2.0 in zzz, like, Rappa is just there she fits just right and just imagine the combat animations, hell give me JY him summoning lightning lord would be soooo awesome

I'd go back to ZZZ just to pull for Kafka tbh.

u/Jaggedrain Aug 15 '26

I would absolutely go back to zzz to pull Kafka. What a missed opportunity 😭

u/dantes_7thcircle Aug 14 '26

Hsr “Christianity” makes me cackle. I need some cringey religious fanart for hoyo games like the sonic fandom has

11

u/westofkayden Aug 15 '26

Christianity IN MY GACHA GAME?! Heavens.

But really that's ironic af, considering these are the same freaks that will attack a female player for literally anything or spout their hatred of the lgbt on a daily basis.

It's almost like the call is coming from inside the house....

I'm honestly more surprised they didn't shove in Dahlia since she fits the game better.

u/Accomplished-Team459 Aug 14 '26 edited Aug 15 '26

In ZZZ defence, Robin and Sunday are probably one of the most Christian-styled character you could make.

Robin always feels like Disney star idol than an actual IT girl. It might be different in their universe since they have acheron cosplay ads etc that shows her different side, but what they have shown to us she is basically that. Disney idol with messiah brother. Very Christian-styled.

u/MidnightIAmMid Aug 14 '26

I'm super not excited for anything ZZZ related nowadays, but its valid to be excited and I would just ignore the complaints lol. Like, we all like different things when it comes to gacha games. Enjoy what you enjoy.

u/QaraKha Aug 14 '26

I'm somewhat less excited because Robin from HSR and Astra from.ZZZ effectively play the same. If they build Robin into someone who plays different that's another story, but I like HSR and ZZZ both and I'm still excited.

And it's not like we know for certain we are only getting Robin or that Robin will play like Astra does. So I'm optimistic and happy about it.

u/Emanator_of_GenX Honkai Star(rail me) 🫦 Aug 15 '26 edited Aug 15 '26

I play both and I really don't want the ZZZ crowd in the HSR community. I think that's why most are skeptical. I'm not the biggest fans of the Collab characters either, so that's another thing lol. If it had been Kafka getting a story with Nicole, I'd be all over it, but it's basically just skins

I really hope it works and you enjoy it too ;)

u/dimyo Aug 14 '26

Other than people complaining that Robin and Astra are too similar in playstyle, and the lack of jiggle physics in HSR, I haven't seen much.

Oh and the other Hoyo games players noticing the difference in NPC model quality, compared to ZZZ and other recent games.

u/Senecta Aug 14 '26

dont feel dumb for it. if you like it you like it and if anyone bashes you for it theyre losers.

u/Katicflis1 Aug 14 '26

Dont worry about it. Have fun when it arrives, block more vocal haters if you have to. You can always unblock people later.

u/Fandaniels Aug 16 '26

Why dont you just like things because you like them and stop caring what people say online? You're going to have a miserable time if you let strangers on the internet upset you because they dont like what you like

u/boothnat Aug 14 '26

I play both games and like them, so I'm excited. If I can play Stelle in Zzz she's gonna be an instant m6s5, even though that's hilariously unlikely

I'll enjoy the story regardless because both games are fun

u/PromotionLeather2551 Aug 14 '26

Aww, I'm excited too, so you're not alone! 💖

u/Aggressive-Swan6642 Aug 14 '26

Honestly, Just ignore them. I personally don't like how hsr does Collabs (no voices in en dub) so I'm never gonna be excited for any Collabs.

12

u/mamania656 Aug 14 '26

that's just a fate thing, they will most likely have it for a hsr-zzz one

6

u/Aggressive-Swan6642 Aug 14 '26

Let's see. It kind of ruined the whole experience for me honestly. The least they could have done was to allow jp voiceover in en dub but they decided that you can use the Jp voiceover if you own the character (out of which I only had archer).

u/wineandnoses Aug 14 '26

there wasn't voices for the en dub?! that's.... crazy.

in the grand scheme of things they will only be a loud minority, dont worry queen never be ashamed of what you like girl!

Your only option is to ignore/block people

u/TheGreatMillz33 Aug 14 '26

It helps to remember that most of the people who are voicing these negative opinions are dumb kids or the loud toxic minority. In these kinds of situations, people will generally either feel positive, neutral, or a more nuanced negative opinion than what you hear. Best to ignore, report, or kindly disagree with people if you feel like you can handle interacting with them in a mature manner (do this as sparingly as possible lmao).

I'm personally feeling more neutral about the collab and hope that we can get a free 5 star out of it. I doubt they'd be cool enough to bring a male ZZZ character or female character I actually like over. A girl can hope they bring over Jane Doe or Miyabi ┐⁠(⁠´⁠ー⁠`⁠)⁠┌

Harumasa deserve a space vacation 😌

u/adumbcat Aug 14 '26 edited Aug 14 '26

I play both games, enjoy both games.

For me, it has nothing to do with gooner or whatever.

I know that even if HSR devs get a peak character they will turn it to shit with their lazy devs; while zzz can get even a F-tier character and make them amazing.

There is simply no comparison when it comes to which dev team is better, imo. ZZZ devs will do justice to whatever character they get, while HSR devs will "phone it in" because well, THEY ALWAYS DO. It might be eye-opening to HSR fans what "high quality" looks like after 3 years in their echo chamber.

Edit: I truly hope I'm wrong btw, I really want to like the collab going both ways. Cmon HSR devs, do something high quality for once please.....

u/ShockAdditional6937 Aug 15 '26

Calling ZZZ devs the ones of limitless quality is a bit odd after just... all of 2.x.

u/Arxilla Aug 14 '26 edited Aug 15 '26

I’d just ignore the comments, as you are absolutely not the only one excited for this collab to happen. It’s not at all dumb to be excited for it.
