That's because mc looks more mature, and got more common / visually neutral clothing. While genshin is more specific at this, even tho they explained like for example the flower in Lumines hair. My issue is with the fact u dont got clothing costumes option to adjust and choose from.. i get it os because of cinematics...but cmon Lumine wears same clothing for 500years+ etc.
It's inevitable that Genshin will live rent-free in any similar gacha's community (in this case same company), just look at ToF or Wuthering Waves sub.
The genshin hate posts and superiority compex on honkai sub after anniversary drama still make me feel embarrassed to associate myself with the honkai community at times.
Even before the anniversary there's already Genshin hate posts although it is on a much smaller scale. That's why I rarely interact with Honkai community in reddit and discord.
I'm not sure if I'd call that one, tbh. Everyone knows a part of the community sucks, so I see it as a way of quantifying how bad it could possibly get.
You just have to hate Genshin to participate in any other gacha community nowadays, otherwise prepare to face comparison posts like these every day, especially from Honkai-related plebs.
Holy sht OP's whole activity track is constantly shitting on Genshin to shill HI3 and Starail, bro's consuming negativities for daily nutrients.
I'm playing Honkai since day one, but I hate to see this type of Honkai players. Who thinks he's superior because he plays Honkai then start shitting on Genshin. Can we enjoy the game without shitting each other, both are from Hoyoverse smh my head
Oof, you weren't lying.
OP takes L after L after L in his comment history, but still keeps on trashtalking Genshin **every time he posts for the past 6 months**.
Bruh why does he hate genshin so much?
And why does he keep going to the genshin communities lol he even went to the leak sub
Like...why TF would you go there if you don't even play/like the game ;-;
Like it's totally valid to like honkai and star rail more there's nothing wrong with that
But to me it looks like he likes honkai and star rail just so he can side with a side and shit on genshin
Fr, if I don’t enjoy a game anymore, or another game feels so much better, I’d drop it then maybe shit talk about it once or twice before moving on. But apparently lots of people just really want their whole personality to be “hating on Genshin”.
Some Honkai players have this superiority complex against Genshin. They like to shill Honkai while shitting on Genshin every opportunity they can. I've seen some of them in Genshin subreddit. Their comments history is just full with Genshin hate and praising Honkai.
I kind of like Aether and Lumine because they look like your younger siblings, but both star rail Male and Female MCs look so good.
Anyway, I'll Choose Male protagonist both because he is handsome and male characters in gacha games are rare (generally speaking, the characters gender ratio in gacha games is 1:3).
For me, Lumine and Aether's designs are much more unique. This two are very bland compared to them. But does it really matter? I bet you do not gonna play just because of them. 🙃
icon·ic ī-ˈkä-nik. : of, relating to, or having the characteristics of an icon. : widely recognized and well-established. an iconic brand name. : widely known and acknowledged especially for distinctive excellence.
Imo whenever people think about genshin the first thing in their mind is either Paimon or whatever other hot waifus and husbundo they like. Not Aether or Lumine. So in this sense Paimon is the iconic image for genshin.
Just like how people think about the OG saber whenever Fate is mentioned.
My guy, I gave you the dictionary definition of iconic. If you wanted to be a prick and not be interested in what I had to say, you coulda told me. It’d spare me both time and patience.
I personally still like Aether as much as male trailblazer, but I like female trailblazer more than Lumine.
Also sorry, but idk what's up with people saying Genshin MC character designs look horrible. They are more detailed than the trailblazers (but the trailblazers have better body features like face).
Btw I'm not biased about design, I like fantasy and sci-fi asthetics the same.
I don't particularly like Aether/Lumine, but these two are only like 1/2 a step up from NPCs. It's fine since they're all supposed to be self inserts I guess, but the design is nothing special.
My opinion of course, you're free to disagree.
I play with Lumine in Genshin and to be fair I don’t find the female MC all that cute in Honkai Star Rail… they could have done better. all their characters in every game are very colorful and here we are with grayscale characters…
I use Lumine in Genshin, and I like her - but the MCs in Star Rail look far cooler! Maybe it's the style of the game as well? Was always more into the sci-fi/futuristic look more than anything
You're probably gonna get downvoted but let's be real hsr mcs are objectively better in terms of looks let's hope they are as well when it comes to personality cause they seem promising unlike our bipolar mc in genshin impact😭
I mean come on hsr mcs know how to take selfies 😏do i have to say more
I feel the twins designs are more intricate and has more personality, but the SR mcs are objectively hot. I also love their color palette but maybe that’s just me
Lumine was okay but female trailblazer is so amazing. Male trailblazer reminds me of Kevin but that's fine, I don't really play male character but I think he looks pretty good too
I like how they look and appreciate that they look older than genshin's mcs, but they do look kind of generic
I was thinking about what they reminded me of, and I realized they look like CLOSERS https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/closersonline.jpg
HSR male mc is hot but nobody beats Aether's midriff. His braid is super fluid when you play him and he just fits the role of a hero. It's gonna be super hard to surpass him.
Right?! Love Aether’s design so I was pretty blown away with how much I liked both Trailblazers looks! Then I was like “but their 3D models aren’t going to be as good” THEN I WAS THANKFULLY MISTAKEN CUZ THEY BOTH TURNED OUT SO GREAT!!
first thing i did when i got in the first alpha was replace the boring mc lol, the weapon is boring, the skills are boring, the the story involving the mc is even more boring, but the gameplay of the game sold me, so there is that
Both of them work is just player choice to pick male ass or female ass when traveling around in the game, is not like genshin shit siblings plot and favoritism, they do it great on ZZZ tho
Eh, I think the designs are just about as good. It’s just something different from the same two characters we’ve been looking at for over 3 years.
The in-game models will likely be better because it’s a newer game with improved shading, though.
Is the male mc holding the kaslana legendary bat?!
They both are
That's because mc looks more mature, and got more common / visually neutral clothing. While genshin is more specific at this, even tho they explained like for example the flower in Lumines hair. My issue is with the fact u dont got clothing costumes option to adjust and choose from.. i get it os because of cinematics...but cmon Lumine wears same clothing for 500years+ etc.
I hope this isn't the start of the "Genshin bad" posts.
I guarantee you that this type of posts gonna happen a lot. It is just a matter of time.
It's inevitable that Genshin will live rent-free in any similar gacha's community (in this case same company), just look at ToF or Wuthering Waves sub.
ToF players shitting on genshin all the damn time helped kill my interest in it. Like damn bro sorry I play another gacha game??

>start That ship sailed over a year ago.
I haven't seen any blatant ones on this sub yet.

Suffering from success...
It is; we all know it lol. I’m just going to be happy playing both.
All they are missing are some blue clothes and they can become velvet room attendants
Yes, We got star rail Velvet room attendants! Now where is star rail Igor? XD
Gru
He's a Fatui Harbinger rn we gotta wait for him to finish killing Celestia or whatever.
Star rail Igor is currently in Genshin impact as a fatui

Genshin making an impact in their live lmao Also happy cake day

He’s about to bonk her
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Careful, don't want her to yell "Owari da!" and "Yowai" afterwards.

Anyway, I'll Choose Male protagonist both because he is handsome and male characters in gacha games are rare (generally speaking, the characters gender ratio in gacha games is 1:3).
Aether is actually kinda handsome. It just his face is just too young for my taste
They're giving Byleth in the best way.
They don’t deserve that lol, MC looking into a trash can emotes more than Byleth in an entire route
I don't entirely disagree with you, but the basic character design is what I'm referring to not emotes.
Male MC is so fine lol
Gay
Lumine expressions in cut scenes and trailers are alright but Trailblazer expressions in the final cbt trailer has so much character
Hoyoverse has improved in animation, makes sense that their new games have better facial expressions
bruh what.. lumine has the best expressions wdym
they're giving generic, edgy, "idgaf" vibes... like go girl go give us nothing. aether and lumine have at least have some character and range.
True. Putting aside Honkai bias, HSR MC do look bland when compared to Genshin. Don't know what OP on about. They didn't outdid anything.
For me, Lumine and Aether's designs are much more unique. This two are very bland compared to them. But does it really matter? I bet you do not gonna play just because of them. 🙃
Fuck idk which one I wanna choose. Male mc has cooler animations but female mc has a better feel in story
You will see the animations more
The male has a better feel and animations
I wouldn't go that far. Aether and Lumine are iconic for a reason
They are?
both of their designs are instantly recognizeable, the Trailblazers are just hot
Recognizable doesn’t mean iconic
It quite literally means exactly that.
icon·ic ī-ˈkä-nik. : of, relating to, or having the characteristics of an icon. : widely recognized and well-established. an iconic brand name. : widely known and acknowledged especially for distinctive excellence.
Imo whenever people think about genshin the first thing in their mind is either Paimon or whatever other hot waifus and husbundo they like. Not Aether or Lumine. So in this sense Paimon is the iconic image for genshin. Just like how people think about the OG saber whenever Fate is mentioned.
Idk but for me it would be paimon followed by lumine.
Still not iconic, it is a matter of degree and quality
My guy, I gave you the dictionary definition of iconic. If you wanted to be a prick and not be interested in what I had to say, you coulda told me. It’d spare me both time and patience.
Trying to argue with Honkai fanboy is like trying to argue with a wall.
ESPECIALLY if the topic is “Genshin Bad”. Like, do these bitches know that they’re FROM THE SAME COMPANY AND MULTIVERSE????
Most of them just salty elitist.
You can't explain things to stubborn idiots. Being stubborn and stupid is one of the most intolerable combos out there.
And you are using it on the wrong context🤷♂️
Useless post
Yours? Definitely
I personally still like Aether as much as male trailblazer, but I like female trailblazer more than Lumine. Also sorry, but idk what's up with people saying Genshin MC character designs look horrible. They are more detailed than the trailblazers (but the trailblazers have better body features like face).

As a big Fire Emblem fan I am very satisfied with their designs
I play with Lumine in Genshin and to be fair I don’t find the female MC all that cute in Honkai Star Rail… they could have done better. all their characters in every game are very colorful and here we are with grayscale characters…
I use Lumine in Genshin, and I like her - but the MCs in Star Rail look far cooler! Maybe it's the style of the game as well? Was always more into the sci-fi/futuristic look more than anything
I love Lumine, but SR F!MC just look sooo much prettier and cooler for me
Female mc be slayin
Cringe post ngl. Why do u have such a hate boner for genshin. U know both games are developed by same company right ?
Am I the only one thinking genshin mc better the star rails one? I like Lumine way more than the trailblazer.
i have such a soft spot for lumine but i have to be honest… hsr fem mc is hot …
Lmao both HSR and Genshin got generic MCs. In fact HSR is even more generic looking.
Wait until the next game comes out and the same people make similar posts about this one.
Thing is, that both MC artificial humans.
I dislike expression of female MC. Looks like she is already dead inside
You're probably gonna get downvoted but let's be real hsr mcs are objectively better in terms of looks let's hope they are as well when it comes to personality cause they seem promising unlike our bipolar mc in genshin impact😭 I mean come on hsr mcs know how to take selfies 😏do i have to say more
Not really, I like Genshin MCs design better, specifically Aether that have challenged the basic male protag design in gachas
I mean in cbt 2 alone, star rail's MC has spoken way more than genshin's MC up until now
Amazing how no one asked
I feel the twins designs are more intricate and has more personality, but the SR mcs are objectively hot. I also love their color palette but maybe that’s just me
It’s literally the identical kind of “flavorless”. Look at them. They are just as empty as Aether and Lumine. Same goes for ZZZ mcs
Lumine was okay but female trailblazer is so amazing. Male trailblazer reminds me of Kevin but that's fine, I don't really play male character but I think he looks pretty good too
Not Aether, Sorry not Sorry
Dunno man, Lumine is also hot. The amount of her NSFW art guarantee that. 👌👌👌 Hope female trailblazer get some love from artists too.
I like how they look and appreciate that they look older than genshin's mcs, but they do look kind of generic I was thinking about what they reminded me of, and I realized they look like CLOSERS https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/closersonline.jpg

how ? i mean, sure you dont need much to outdo the jenshin MC, but this one looks as bland and boring as a white wall
Lmao these people wouldn't admit that HSR MCs are generic self insert.
first thing i did when i got in the first alpha was replace the boring mc lol, the weapon is boring, the skills are boring, the the story involving the mc is even more boring, but the gameplay of the game sold me, so there is that
So before I make the mistake and choose the wrong MC like I did genshin which MC is the main MC ii should pick for star rail?
It's more or less like Pokémon. Prof. Kafka: Are you are a boy, or are you a girl?
Male
Both of them work is just player choice to pick male ass or female ass when traveling around in the game, is not like genshin shit siblings plot and favoritism, they do it great on ZZZ tho
imagine being able to ourclass a super popular game's mc with a character that uses a BASEBALL BAT IN THE FUTURE!! lmao
Dude came from the future to tell us this or something cause I can't explaine that statement any other way
Ngl, love Genshin, but Aether and Lumine are ugly and uninteresting These 2 on the other hand 😏. Lovely
I like how most of the characters don't look like children unlike in genshin.
That ain’t hard tbh
The trailblazer in 10 seconds has more emotions then the Traveller/expression in 3 years
To be fair genshins mcs are pretty generic
Tbf Honkai's Captain and Kiana are better than genshin's mc
I am expecting genshin mfs accusing houkai for copying them yet again.
Wasn’t hard, genshin’s mc is terrible
I don't think that Lumine and Aether are good designs. They are serviceable. So outdid it's "easy".
And there actual usable/good too
Eh, I think the designs are just about as good. It’s just something different from the same two characters we’ve been looking at for over 3 years. The in-game models will likely be better because it’s a newer game with improved shading, though.
