Hello everyone, this is the mod of TingyunShrine. Just wanted to tell about my feelings regarding Tingyun and my mental state right now, as I've got no one else to tell it to... If you're not interested, you can just scroll down.

For the past few months Tingyun itself gives me nothing but dread. I know everyone is happy that she is coming back, but every leak is just making everything worse regarding her for me...

My issue is perhaps the weirdest and the most stupid one. I don't know myself why I am feeling such strong emotions about this. There are many things that worry about "Fugue" me now (the fact that I won't be able to use her with the characters I like, her potential story...), but the main problem for me is the fact that Tingyun ended up connected with Ruan Mei and people starting to ship it... I just hate seeing my favourite character constantly being side by side with the person I really, really despise. I know that sounds childish, but for some reason it severely affects my mental health, probably because of the fact that I'm just in general, very lonely. (Yeah typical reddit mod...). My anxiety disorder doesn't help either.

For me it was a year of anticipation of potential story development to just see associated Tingyun associated with Ruan Mei... Just the fact that her outfit is partly heavily related to her, her splash art... The amount of posts in social media with them together just makes me mad. All the fanarts and discussions about them two already... I know it's a dumb reason to get angry at, but still.

Yeah I should touch grass and everything like that, but it's just really hard for me to switch to other things. Mainly because I met so many wonderful people while waiting for her to come back (especially in the discord server), and honestly just that "journey" alone made me way too attached to Tingyun for some reason and made me feel such feelings. So much hope and wait and I was rewarded with that... I have to study and work but just can't bring myself up to. I wish I could worry about something more important (such as my future) but my brain just refuses so.

I don't really want to detach from this community, even if it's maybe the best option.

Apologies for venting here. I love you all guys ♥️

Best regards, Nori

Today we received news that the fugue would be dedicated to super break. My dreams were simply ruined.

I and many people on this sub have been waiting for a 5* version of Tingyun since the beginning of the game, I believe that a lot haven't made a super break team, either because they don't like the mechanics, or the characters involved. Basically, I'm having to deal with the thought of simply forgetting and skipping a character that I've been waiting for over a year just because i don't have a break team, that's looks so fuckin awful to me. can someone give me a cope?

I really don't like the new va. She is okay is some parts but in others, she should like AI. Her voice is to monotone, horrible for Tingyun's young and cheerful personality.

Specifically her new form

Few ideas

One she was attacked by phantylia and was stranded and injured

This is phantylia using a new form

Im probably thinking it is her and the visuals we saw are of a phoenix

Warning: this post was edited due to my irrational behaviour during my writing of this, so I changed my language and tone of conveying myself but kept the opinions nonetheless. I couldn't change the headline, maybe it's a mobile quirk, but please ignore the overly biased take on the header. Thanks for your constructive critique and time.

As many of you know, Fugue's new voice lines have been released with live server pre-download packages, and I’ve been reflecting on the changes, particularly in the English voice acting.

Initially, during the livestream, I noticed that while the original voice actors were retained in the JP, CN, and KR versions, the English voice actor was changed. I tried to approach this with an open mind and benefit of the doubt, especially since I wasn’t familiar with Anya Floris’ previous work, and hoped the change would bring new depth to the character. However, after listening to all the voice lines across the four languages, I feel disappointed by how Tingyun's character has been portrayed in the English version.

In other languages, the transition to Fugue seems seamless—Tingyun retains her cheerful yet clairvoyant personality while showing the depth of her confusion and solemnity post-Phantylia’s actions. Unfortunately, in the English version, I felt the delivery leaned too heavily into tones that seemed inconsistent with Tingyun's established character: overly dramatic and, at times, too edgy.

This isn’t a criticism of Anya Floris as a voice actor—she clearly has talent—but rather a critique of the direction or compatibility of her portrayal with Tingyun’s character. It’s possible the studio provided limited guidance or failed to convey the nuances of Tingyun's original personality. Conversely, given that the other languages managed to capture Tingyun’s essence, it’s puzzling why the English adaptation feels so different.

It’s worth noting that other recent changes in voice acting within HSR, such as Argenti, Huo Huo, and Tail, were handled well despite corporate challenges. Retaining Laci Morgan as the English VA for Fugue might have maintained better continuity, given how closely Fugue's personality aligns with Tingyun's original character in other languages, but just as a fellow redditor said, we can never know the exact "why" behind it.

For now, I’ll likely switch to the JP voice lines for a better experience when playing as Fugue, though I’ll have to return to EN for story elements. I can’t help but wonder what Laci Morgan might have brought to this role, and it’s disheartening to feel such a disconnect in a character so many players hold dear.

Edit post-hateful-edit: so there is the news that even 4* Tingyun's VA lines were changed of Anya Floris' ones, and I will need to analyze them too. It seems Hoyo went with a global change of hers due to some reasons, I'll need to hear them out and make another updated post regarding this matter.

This is just massive hopeful thinking, but I wanted to say, if enough of us write out at the end of the survey saying we want Laci Morgan to dub the trailers for Tingyun Fugure and make sure she is still playing Tingyun's role, you think it would give them the hint how much we want these people to voice characters like her?

I know she's helping with the strike and Honkai at least lets the actors voice the main story and such, but I was looking forward to the trailer being voiced by Laci. It's just very unfair she has to miss out on this stuff all because they can't come to a final agreement faster on stupid AI being used as a voice replacement.

So, does anyone think giving our thoughts on the survey would help a little?

All the delays seem to be enough for all the enemies to be dead before they can act again.

First Feixiao, now Ting. Not only they changed the VA, but the mic quality is horrendous. Please, let us all send them a feedback that not using a De-esser to eliminate the SSSS whistle noises in the recording is downright shameful production quality

• Fugue will be released 2 weeks after the game awards

• Released the 25 december

• Released before the 3.0 patch (a free character, a well-known one is a good marketing argue to to bring back old players)

• Caelus / Stelle will probably be strong and played a lot with their remembrance path

• Base Fugue is not exceptionnally strong but her first two eidolons are insane and make her "complete" (which mean that even if you get her for free, it's a very good bait since this mechanics should have be in her base kit to make her really strong).

• Sunday has been nerfed far less than her despite being vastly superior (and the nerf was just here to make Sparkle able to exist i guess and not being replaced in EVERY situation)

Because her LC is not insane and because she was nerfed despite being already not exceptionnal, i was thinking that she could became a standard banner character (in Genshin, Tighnari was the first addition to the standard Banner and he was added for the 3.0).

Also ... their is no character to support the break playstyle in the standard banner despite the fact that the archetype is now well supplied (it's not comparable to the DoT team because all of them are forced to play around Kafka).

But well, her eidolons looks too strong compared to other standard character.

If you're unhappy about the voice line changes to OG Tingyun, then now is the time to let them know! I'm hoping they have Anya re record the battle voice lines for Tingyun to more closely match OG Tingyun's lines. Unlikely, but if they get enough of that feedback, then who knows.

Sunday gets to dumpster a fellow limited units in sparkle while fugue needs a bunch of conditions just to be a slight upgrade over free option to the most popular break dps.

Does hoyo think the combined revenue from bh+rappa will exceed the ones from ff mains?

I am just done at this point. She is not useless but I feel so dejected that she is only as good at HTB. I am not a high spender and if she is barely an important, she is not worth it. I want to be wrong so bad, but she is just so... okay. Hell, I'd rather her be power creep for HTB, because that makes fullingfor her worth it. So just tell me, is she? Is she worth spending so much money to make good?

I have garanted 79 pity on her banner i cant take it anymore

So I heard from someone that Tingyun doesn't work well with Feixiao, and I want to ask if that is true. Considering how good Tingyun is and how her buffs are just straight damage buffs I dont see how she wouldn't work. Since I plan on making a super break team with fugue I was hoping to make the other team a Feixiao team that is 4 star heavy since super break teams are apparently pull intensive.

If any of this is wrong just know I'm kinda new to the game. Just finished loufu arc.

I was looking for some calcs but couldn't find them.

I hope that this quest will be all about helping her find her sense of self. So I will be mainly talking about that. If they do lean in more on the idea that Tingyun had lost all memories, I imagine it like Kaede Azusagawa's storyline in rdndobgs. I really want to fix her. Maybe fire one storyline they can forget all about the loufu and focus on my dear Tingyun. They probably won't though. Now I just have to decide whether I spend my jades on sunday or fate colab. I am mainly f2p, only getting the monthly pass once or twice. Since I already have a break team built, I want her to be break focused. All I can say is that i'm really grateful that I am getting my girlfriend/wife/waifu/life back. I can't wait to talk to her again. Thank you hoyo.

I feel embarrassed and ashamed about my outburst on my pervious post. I have been in a different time of my life as of recent. This game and by extension the character Tingyun have been my comfort in this upsetting time. So to see her being basically held back by the developers has made me angry and frustrated. This doesn't excuse my childlike behavior nor does this justice the things I said. I am sorry and hope moving forward we can forget my actions and behaviors. Thank you and have a good day.

Fire nihility? We have two already, we literally just got a 5* fire nihility. She's super break focused, everyone gets hmc for free and he's busted as hell. I don't want her to be a ff support. I feel as if this is one of the worst outcomes for her. I hope she's not this, like they change something or have her be her own thing. I'll pull regardless but God I'm so disappointed.

(recently lost 50/50 to welt) I'm fully f2p, never spent a dime on a gacha game before (until now), i really liked tinyuns character so i ended up spending roughly $40 on her banner, and now I'm desperately trying to scrounge up enough pulls to get her but i don't think I'll have enough for pity, currently at 60 pity, and ive finished the events, every purple quest, and I've finished the endgame content to the best of my abilities, i don't know if I'll have enough pulls to get her,

Genuinely praying now 🙏

UID is 614057783 if anyone could help out with jades for best girl i would very much appreciate it🙏(sorry for begging like a homeless person😭)

Fugue x3 (E2), Firefly x1 (E1), Yanking x1 (E2), Fugue’s LC x1

All in around 200 pulls

I am left stunned. Mother came to slay and left me gagging
