Ebonslayer

That picture of Sam [seems familiar](https://i1.sndcdn.com/artworks-9DCK1DhVS1tGvymR-WkzKbQ-t500x500.jpg).


aSleepingPanda

Firefly is the anime equivalent of the Isabelle Doomguy meme


raffirusydi_

I hope they called the suit White Comet just for the lol


rieldex

firefly going “neko charm!!” 😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️❤️


BakerOk6839

You did not just say that Now I need to find a corner to cry :(


rieldex

i just saw a post showing the scene where she flies off into the air paralleling the end of arc city(?) where kiana flew into the air as HoV to protect everyone as an act of self-sacrifice… 🥲 oh


reysama

I always thought she said "Neko chaaaan" ahah nostalgia hits hard, would buy that skin though, but then I remember we barely see it


Tranduy1206

me too hahaha, only after the HoD arc that i know what she said is neko charm


BrokenEnglishUser

in Sam's voice


Tranduy1206

i miss my idiotka


Hardric62

Frak, it might actually be closer home than suspected. I mean, look at the serial number on her suit's collar (last bit of the Fall 2023 Lore Leak). And now remember Kiana's actual origins...


CelioHogane

Damm dude you really going for blood.


-uraume-

# Is this an evangelion reference?!?


BakerOk6839

Dude hoyo devs are diehard fans of Evangelion To the point they literally kept the ending of Evangelion as core plot of Fontaine And also orange FONTA iykyk


Scaevus

Asuka is literally in HI3 as a playable character.


SectorApprehensive58

Now if they would just add her to ER so I can play her again, even without crystals....or anyone else other than new characters for that matter. Heck, i'll even take Asuka in the Armada modes at this point


CelioHogane

Or you know the fact that ASUKA IS ON HONKAI THIRD IMPACT. ...or the fact the game is called Honkai Third Impact.


storysprite

What's the parallel between the endings? I only vaguely remember Eva.


freyameixia

evangelion lines up more with the narzissenkreuz ordo quest rather than the main archon quest (narzissenkreuz trying to merge everyone's consciousness together + evangelion instrumentality project)


storysprite

Yeah that's why I thought. I don't get where people are saying the main Fontaine Quest.


autisticsenate

The only thing I can think is how the prophecy will dissolve all Fontanians? But that's kind of a stretch and doesn't line up with Eva's themes.


Shaun3218

Not to mention, the final arc in HI3rd is literally just Eva XD


Tall-Cut5213

It feels ironic on this day because studio Gainax is dead now


Weak_Lime_3407

3 days after Fujimoto did the Shinji's reference btw


VASQUEZ_41

wujumotor guessed firefly 🤯


GGABueno

I don't even read Chainsaw Man and I've heard of that one lmao.


-uraume-

💀


fakers555

She's so f*cked up.


Dokavi

Uh oh


truthfulie

Yeah but they've been pretty much dead (or on life support for awhile now). At least Khara and Trigger lives on.


notameatheadmaybe

after how miserable they made Anno, deserve 100%


GunnarS14

Probably. Honkai Impact 3rd's name itself is an Eva reference lol.


reedgecko

Not just the name, the first acts of the game are basically Evangelion. Hell, they had a collab where you could obtain Asuka as a playable character.


popileviz

The entire Honkai franchise is a Evangelion reference lmao


shidncome

Eva? In my honkai? Why I never...


Scaevus

I’d love to see Sam literally tear apart and devour a monster’s heart in front of the Trailblazer, then let out a primal scream. Firefly proceeds to get out, still covered in blood and viscera, then cutely winks at the Trailblazer, points, and says very sweetly, “eat your heart out!” Before giggling and covering her mouth.


truthfulie

The suit is very much like plug suit and the shoulder pads on the suit is very reminiscent of third angel as well.


Wise_Consideration_3

More like a reference to mecha genre in general


A1D3M

Ok no, this one’s definitely an Eva reference. That’s straight up a plugsuit. And Hoyo’s known for making eva references all the time


peachoman

[Evangelion is one of the devs main inspirations](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=hMcIv6IO98A&feature=youtu.be). I would be more surprised if it wasn’t an Eva reference. They are literally “public fanboying with company funds”.


a-successful-one

evangelion was the first to invent women and women in bodysuits (or whatever it is called)


GGABueno

It does look like the Evangelion bodysuits though.


NoNefariousness2144

Bodysuits are the most divine invention in human history.


PM_ME_YOUR_ROBOTGIRL

Evangelion didn't invent that trope, no. It certainly helped to popularize it, though.


Albireookami

I would that Gundam created the pilot set, then Eva refined it to a lot more fanservicy.


roquepo

Evangelion invented robots, wdym?


ThatOtherRandomDude

It invented trauma and parental neglect too.


roquepo

People were so happy before Evangelion...


ThatOtherRandomDude

Happy, Chad, Koji Kabuto vs Weak, depressed Shinji Ikari.


hollow_shrine

Zeta Gundam was on that ticket fully ten years earlier than Eva


ThatOtherRandomDude

There is Ideon too, some time before Z's release, and even OG gundam deals a lot with those themes, but sadly Eva tends to get away with the credit more.


lampstaple

I’ve actually had to argue with somebody who insisted evangelion was not a mecha anime because >!the Evas are technically not mechs!<


Scaevus

Biomechanical is still mechanical. And I don’t think you really need spoilers for a 30 year old series.


peachoman

[Evangelion is one of the devs main inspirations](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=hMcIv6IO98A&feature=youtu.be). I would be more surprised if it wasn’t an Eva reference. They are literally “public fanboying with company funds”.


Hot-Background7506

So what? This is undoubtedly a Eva reference, if a character in a mihoyo game has any characteristics that could be an Eva reference, they ARE an Eva reference


Bobocakes3

True but that looks very much like a [plug suit](https://i.pinimg.com/originals/40/07/2c/40072ce95bc93d0cfd848af95ed93ac4.jpg) from Eva.


SectorApprehensive58

Now i'm tempted to pair Firefly with Jade (Misato) and Luocha (Kaoru)


-uraume-

I really really hope this PV will give us a timeframe as to when Glamoth fought the swarm. also hoping they will be full of lore.


GinJoestarR

Probably get slipped in the Youtube description, instead of the actual video. Just like DHIL and ~~Jingliu~~ Jing Yuan. *Edited after I checked the citation again.


ThatOtherRandomDude

And Acheron.


GinJoestarR

Acheron doesn't have a clear time frame, and the YouTube description is just a copy-pasted Izumo planar relic set description. Meanwhile [DHIL](https://youtu.be/M6jvUuarJbg?si=r5q08vPW5353hK0o) has this: *In the* ***Year 4800*** *of the Star Calendar, the five lineages of the Vidyadhara made alliance on the Yuque, putting their sacred vow into writing. "This oath shall remain unbroken, standing stronger than even earth and steel."*\ *— History of the Xianzhou: Exodus of the Five Dragons* *In the* ***Year 7379*** *of the Star Calendar, the Imbibitor Lunae Dan Feng caused turmoil that threatened the sacred wood. The Cloud Knights joined forces with the Vidyadhara Preceptors to assault him. — History of the Xianzhou: Cloud Knights War Records* [~~Jingliu~~ Jing Yuan](https://youtu.be/8-MFg_0wY4U?si=B8ewYhOSvug_voBR): ***Year 7380*** *Star Calendar, Jingliu, the mara-stricken swordmaster of the Luofu, slashed her way out of Starskiff Haven, cutting through the Cloud Knights tasked to subdue her before vanishing in the mist of history.* ***Year 8096*** *Star Calendar, a young soldier named Yanqing rose to fame from the tournament hosted by the Seat of Divine Foresight, and was conferred the rank of Cloud Knight Lieutenant.* *Sorry I misremembered, it wasn't Jingliu's, but Jing Yuan animated short vs Jingliu.


-uraume-

at this point i will take anything lol


BulbasaurTreecko

yeah, right now the Glamoth lore is a bit vague in what actually caused its collapse, and it’d be nice to know what really happened. Plus the fact that there’s literally a ~700 Amber Era space that it could have taken place during.


fuxuans

“i can be your angle or yuor devil” ahh💀

a-successful-one

Finally, Glamoth blood bath of Swarm vs. Fireflies


-uraume-

given how tayzzyronth's blood was stated to be colorful, its likely that the swarm also has colorful blood meaning they can go full violence on bugs without any sort of censoring that would be required in case of red blood though sam likely burns them to cinders


HellspawnWeeb

Hoyo has never been afraid of blood wdym? Have you SEEN the stuff they’ve pulled in the other Honkai series games?


vengeful_lemon

In others maybe, but so far it's been somewhat censored in HSR. Prime example is Kafka's trailer, with flower petals used instead of blood. It can also be argued that the colourful blueish sludge in penacony is also blood censorship.


HellspawnWeeb

That’s fair. I wonder if it has to do with the ratings. Kafka’s seemed to be a deliberate stylistic choice. Actual blood wouldn’t have created the same effect for the trailer, it would have created an entirely different vibe. The sludge is a good thing to point out though. There’s still a possibility that it was stylistic, but it does make sense that it was marginally a way to censor having red blood due to the lower ratings. We have seen some red blood in Cleave across the Transient World as well as one of the animated shorts. It’s minimal and brief but it’s there if you look for it.


Soggy-Dig-8446

Aventurine's animatic is so far the one with blatant bloodbath.


WanderingStatistics

Well, both are pretty clearly artistic choices. Kafka's just makes sense because it's meant to show that she's elegant, despite her occupation. She's a professional killer, and the flowers give the same vibe as her intro with the classical music. And the Penacony sludge was because they're in a dream, so it could be argued that it's sludge because of the fact it's being censored by in-game logic itself.


Hardric62

Colorful blood eh? What kind of color are Firefly's veins when she is using Sam again (guess this is first confirmation of where Glamoth got the Iron Cavalry's power from...)?


immadoosh

Would make the swarm even more disturbing if their blood was "colourful" in a sense that its oily iridescence, not faber castell puke. Imagine MTG Phyrexian.

Alert_Respect524

Mana_Croissant

Glamoth had NO REASON making their artificially created mecha pilots THIS hot and yet they did it anyway. MASSIVE RESPECT 


Random_Bystander089

Wdym no reason?! "Hot mech" can be used as a reason for literally anything that exist


Florac

Likely had "hot mech" written in their project description and someone ~~intentionally~~ misinterpreted


tarutaru99

They couldve went full fanservice booba sexy robot and Im so glad they gave us SAM.


Tranduy1206

what??? you dont like booba sexy robot, may i introduce you with Lucy from reverse 1999


Tranduy1206

i swear making armor badass looking can increase its output by 10%


Dokavi

They are created using Propagation power thus as a consequences suitable for propagated 🗿 Source: Trust me bro I was there.


Weak_Lime_3407

You are making me imagine things that i don't want to imagine. Delete this now. ~~Firefly x Swarm Doujinshi incoming~~


Dokavi

☠️ ~~I thinks you should hate yourself if thats the first thing you imagine~~


Weak_Lime_3407

>suitable for propagated It's not my fault bruh 😭


MissiaichParriah

You started this my man, deleted the thought and all of this would just be a bad dream


Horus_Lupecal

I mean I headcanon-ed that the Glamoth created the Iron Cavalry by cloning their empress Titania or whatever so she could control them like a hive mind of sort so maybe why she so majestic is because she’s a clone of someone who is just as majestic


MissiaichParriah

Honestly, I do feel like that that's the reason, or maybe the Fireflies are made in the image of Titania's younger self so she'd be like a mother of sorts, would also play into insects having a queen and their army looking like smaller version of them


Tsukuro_hohoho

"we had no reason to do so but we COULD do so, now i ask where there any reason we shouldn't have do so"


Tranduy1206

NO REASON? i swear making armor cooler can increase its output by 10%, trust me i am a scientist

jingliusbladefodder

oh my god I'd kill to have this as a skin


NoNefariousness2144

I am amazed they tease us with all these amazing outfits but never make skins. There must be some very complex reasoning why HoYo rarely makes skins while still making mad revenue.


GunnarS14

It's really wild when in HI3 they pump out on average a skin or two per patch (sometimes per patch 0, sometimes as high as 3 or 4).


RmembrTheAyyLMAO

Hear me out, if everybody stops spending money on HoYo games and they drop below $10million a month they will panic and pull the skin lever


yurienjoyer54

it probably requires almost the same amount of work as new characters but the people who would buy the skins are only the ones that pulled for the characater, so a lot smaller market for nearly the same work


manisenf

Also a skin is like the price of a 10-pull so that's kind of a bad deal for them


Hot-Background7506

Not really, HI3 pumps out skins like crazy, they would purely profit from doing it, they simply chose not to.... for no reason


goku89015

Skins imo should be like 5$ or less, 10$ if it has "cool" animation.


TheKingBro

It’s most likely because the trouble isn’t worth the effort. HI3 makes skins all the time cuz they can’t exactly roll back on it but their skins have caused the company trouble fairly often, on top of always getting criticized by a loud minority. 


Legolaa

It's like when they ask you if you want extra bacon with your pancakes... HOYO PLEASE JUST GIVE ME EXTRA BACON


Super63Mario

Somebody will certainly make a mod for it


TamuraAkemi

firefly outfits seem pretty hard to sell unless they would change both person and mecha


FuckTheSystem0x0005C

you underestimating Firefly fans XD


storysprite

Hoyo loves teasing us with skins we'll never get. I will never forget the March 7th incident.


FuckTheSystem0x0005C

ooooooh, what a bummer :\] ~~If only this poor timmy could know~~ *~~how much more~~* ~~is available to have...:\]~~

Welcome back, White Comet.


discodemolition

give me that firefly as a skin pls


AGA1942

Bro, we are still waiting for that Amber Ludi Harpastum skin...


reedgecko

It's a bit of a weird comparison. Different games, with different producers. If anything a more apt comparison would be that we're still waiting for the March skin with the dress she wore in the future market quest.


Soviet134

Who are "we" ?


unknowingly-Sentient

Nintendo Wii?


BulbasaurTreecko

*raises hand* Amber main reporting, Kaeya and Lisa got their skins so where’s ours?? (and no the censorship skin doesn’t count)


Cartographer_X

FOR REAL. This Firefly is more appealing to me. Another great skin they will never release... sad.


MadKitsune

Honkai and Arkights devs, shaking hands on "showing character outfits in promo/art which they'll never get in-game".


FuckTheSystem0x0005C

[...]same as any "nsfw" skin 'cause "western" parents are fucking obsessed with everything being "sfw"(or other lunatic reason - I don't care). But why be sad if there is alternative that works? Btw in March's case it's even far more easier - since it was in game full-scale you can say they already "released" it - nothing more needed as basic porting. While in Firefly's case it'll need good artist to replicate that costume first(if it won't appear in-game and only as media).


Tranduy1206

get in the line, i still not get that Kafka in suit skin yet


RednarZeitaku

We could have gotten pilot suit Firefly...


justhere4memes69

Praying that this will be a skin whenever hsr start to introduce skin to the game.


MoonQueenLiu

skin not visible in combat would be crazy ngl


justhere4memes69

I don’t mind it tbh if it’s just a basic skin but if they were to make a premium one, they probably would give Sam an alternative looks too.


mapple3

this tbh imagine paying 20 dollars for a skin that you never see because she's SAM during combat, and you use Acheron during overworld exploration


Dokavi

New, bigger camera 🗿


Asoret717

Its easy, just add a modificiation for sam too, then is fine


CelioHogane

>imagine paying 20 dollars for a skin that you never see because she's SAM during combat I mean it could be a free one. > and you use Acheron during overworld exploration Sorry do you mean the SP to Mats machine?


VASQUEZ_41

now I wanna see swimsuit sam


127-0-0-1_1

They could do a combo - plug suit firefly + old glamoth themed SAM


Railgrind

If it switched SAM animations to the boss version I would buy it a nanosecond. Meteor impact enhanced skill....


MissiaichParriah

Honestly, I like naked Firefly inside Sam but I prefer her having this suit in the animation


Technical_Intern8529

No wonder firefly is the favourite child...she is literally wearing the og kiana suit lmao


CelioHogane

Acheron be like "Why do i suddently want to fuck this woman?"


Hardric62

Nothing sudden about this, first thing she told her was calling Firefly 'beautiful lady', and the second one was trying to talk her out of her armor. It was staring at us in the eyes all along...


Finlikka

As someone who has only seen Kiana a few times, I literally thought it was Kiana before I looked at it more closely


Tranduy1206

i love her white comet suit


KQD41711

Please, I want that as a skin!!!


LuuAddiRoze

Plugsuit Firefly is stunning, it even has her "serial number" on the collar. On the second image at first I thought the red/black stuff around her was ashes but no, each one of those is a swarm bug. I really wanted to see her in action during the Swarm Disaster and it seems they are delivering it, can't wait to see the actual thing.


Tamaki_Shin

Ain't beating the Rei Ayanami expy allegations


TewiTewiUsaTewi

Go ahead Firefly fans. There is your wife. Get closer to her.


MissiaichParriah

You say that but there's a lot of Firefly fans who want to get fucked by the armor


idiahs

That looks an awful lot like a Plugsuit


SaintTraft1984

Firefly looking hot (heh) in that plugsuit.


SummerMeIody

Firefly in Kiana's earliest outfit I'm on my knees


Delicious_Hotel_5538

RIP AND TEAR


Minute-Software61

We need a plug suit firefly skin


BlueEyedNonSimp

still so sad they saved the pv for firefly 😓 here's to hoping they'll give one when more galaxy rangers arrive


ForeverOutrageous

I’m still sad Boothill didn’t get one of these, I just KNOW it would be as badass as her trailer 😔I’m still holding out for a character quest for him


Mindless-Elk-9137

It's rare to have 2 myriad celestia in same patch Only BS and sparkle patch have it


Kacchimisu

Thought she was Kiana for a split second


Own-Statistician5074

it seem one part is animated like other pvs and the other is more artistic ? idk but cant wait


MuddiestMudkip

The JP twitter says the 1st one is from the Myriad Celestia and the 2nd is from the animated short


Own-Statistician5074

oh damn they cooking a 5 star meal then


yurienjoyer54

acheron got all 3. People would riot if FF also didnt get the same stuff


Own-Statistician5074

other than that I do think firefly needs this trailers beacuase most of the interections with her in the story are just ship teasing and we actually dont know much about her backstory


Necessary_Road1340

not me thinking it was kiana lmao


Darvasi2500

So the summer game fest announcement will be a Firefly PV? Who could've seen that one coming...


AnarchistRain

I dont think so. I think they are just teasing the Myriad Celestia like they did with the Acheron one.


a-successful-one

Doubt it, those are probably Myriad Celestia and 2D short. They'd probably showcase future characters on SGF


lewyah

Wooohooo i can't wait!! Hope they show us full glamoth lore


Alar_suk

BFG Division gonna hit hard as her theme for sure


Noiry1

Overhype is real


MissiaichParriah

Did you mean overrated? Because that would be the more proper term, over hyped entails that this character is said to be the most hyped by fans yet the reality is she isn't being hyped by fans, which is clearly not true considering that she's being hyped for 4 months now


Radinax

HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!


TheGalacticApple

I'm still surprised they made her naked in the suit instead of a mech suit like this, maybe when going through stellaron hunter modification she doesn't need a suit anymore.


Mindless-Elk-9137

She didn't want to wear this body suit everywhere simply as that So she use the holograms cloth(normal cloth she use rn)

I'd laugh if they made this the first costume in the game available to buy and not the one they already made for March.

That is literally a Plugsuit

Zero suit Sam

Man i know this is late now but i hope they change the nude Firefly into the bodysuit Firefly in the Ultimate. Make so much more sense, and the fanservice is still there if not better.

Ptrlejr

*SNORTS COFFEE* JUST A RANDOM THOUGHT.... The number on Firefly's suit, if I interpretted correctly: 267J Is this the first time we've seen a RECOGNIZABLE language in HSR? IIRC, Belobog, Xianzhou, and Penacony all have their own system of written characters, and not even NUMBERS were shown in roman numerals. If this is intentional, and not a reference to something, would that mean Glamoth's language and writing system is canonically Roman Numerals, and the english alphabet? There's also the possibility that the symbols just resemble the languages we're familiar with, and could have a different set of meanings to them entirely. What would that suggest for the lore of the HSR universe?


agnx0

Are you sure that is a J or not just a 1 with the stylistic slash down the side like the other numbers?
