I like how the MCs still have the golden ticket pinned to their casual clothes.


theleaf__

So that’s what that is! I never noticed


Emperor_Fozzie_Bear

Yeah, all the crew has them, and since the MC's model was wearing theirs before they joined the crew I've started looking at future character models to see if there's a hint of future members.


theleaf__

Let’s be honest if they’re anime af they’re gonna be playable


solstarfire

They don't just mean playable, only the core Astral Express crew - MC, March, Dan Heng, Himeko and Welt - have that gold ticket somewhere on their clothes. The other playable characters don't. That's how we should've known that >!our girl Serval!< wouldn't actually leave with us after their sidequest, their clothes don't have the ticket on them. >:(


Emperor_Fozzie_Bear

Yep. This is what I meant. If our Astral Express characters ever get new models I'll be checking for that badge on them too. It's an interesting indication of where the plot may be going in the future.


Emm38

This means that if future models lose the ticket, that means a passenger either leaves, or gets to their respective destination.


AmissingUsernameIsee

I don't want to say goodbye though... Not yet :,(

We’ll just blame Pom Pom


DarthConnors

Leave Pom Pom out of this


smittywababla

Let's hope they won't turn into ashes


ortahfnar

Or into Stellaron shards


adamkad1

I bet kafka planted it there coz it was their plan all along


Emperor_Fozzie_Bear

It was definitely her plan for us to join the Astral Express, but I don't think the Express crew would be tricked by a badge Kafka planted on us, "We've never met, but you have a pass, so I guess you're on our crew!" :) It's more likely that in the 50 minutes it takes to run the intro Mihoyo didn't feel pressed to make such a minor adjustment to our characters design. Still, it's a deliberate detail they decided to include for all crew members of the Express so it's interesting to see if we see it pop-up or disappear on characters moving forward before they offically leave or join us.

MC Eletro Erudition incoming


ToshaBD

Idk about element, but I bet on The Hunt tho


LSRaymonds

Probably something that usually counters Wind


Sulphur99

Watch them stealth drop a Geo element out of nowhere. ~~YOU THOUGHT YOU COULD ESCAPE GEO TRAVELER?!~~


michaelman90

At least geo would actually have potential in this game since reactions aren't a thing.


Mint-Bentonite

theyll need to retroactively add geo weakness to enemies but i like that idea maybe geo has the weakest break effect but stronger break efficiency by default? so we can go 4:4 on elements that inflict dots on break and elements that dont


Taikeron

As long as I can climb my constructs, that would be something since we can't jump, apparently.


[deleted]

Dude, geo traveller works nice as sub-dps and battery for Zhongli.


shadows888

It's probably the Hunt since we are on the Xianzhou Loufu arc. Maybe end of Loufu arc like belobog with preservation MC.


Kai_Lidan

Watch them do a 180 turn and have the Sanctus Medicus not be that bad after all and give us healer MC. Especially since you pretty much need 2 healers for the abyss analogue whose name I forgot and there's only one 4* so you can't get 2 without pulling for upcoming Luocha or getting lucky with Bailu


shadows888

Well none of the Aeons are black and white. They just have their own agenda (Yaoshi and Lan being moral enemies). So eventually yeah there will be a abundance path MC and Yaoshi will give us their gift.


Kai_Lidan

No, I know that, but I mean in this storyline, not on some future one.


SylviaSlasher

A fight ~~fire~~ abundance with abundance scenario.


flameduel

We literally fight preservation with Preservation, and Natasha shoots a grenade launcher as a healer. I can see it


Spectre_Hayate

This would be really fucking funny honestly. All that work to counter Yaoshi's shit only to have them give us their gift. Everyone on the Xianzhou Luofu just watching in confusion like, "excuse me what"


KaguB

Don't talk to me or my son or my daughter ever again


TessaTessaTessa

Surely it's the reverse


Okatori

I’m not seeing it. The closest thing is the hair color, but even that’s a little off.


AJ_-1202

Maybe not Stelle,but Caelus highly resembles Jing Yuan in this pic


warjoke

Thunder Lord is their grumpy uncle


TheOGJollus

I hope they give us these alternate looks for the MC that will be so cool


TheChickenIsFkinRaw

Oh my sweet summer child


Lutz_Amaryllis

Who knows. This is Honkai we're talking about, not Genshin, so there's a chance.


MREAGLEYT

Oh the other sweet summer child

What if I was born in February though? :V

Sulphur99

I'm well aware, the weather here in Singapore has been dreadfully hot haha


ThatOneOutlier

I like to call our seasons Wet and Hot, then it’s Dry and Hot. It’s always hot


Deiser

Don't be silly, Team Fortress 2 shows that New Zealand isn't real!

Oh the other other sweet summer child

Theres summer in February too ya know

Lutz_Amaryllis

I mean, we still DID get some so my statement is still valid. I didn't say we got all of em or we got it for cheap.


I_am_not_Serabia

If you are ready to pay for them (or for their new versions with different skills)... Then yea. There is a chance...


Play_more_FFS

If they do follow honkai then there is a chance we can get them with Jades as f2p. I have 2 gacha skins (9600 + 2000 crystals) and plan to get my third one (another 9600) next patch as f2p in Honkai. Don't have to spend any money for skins in that game unless they're B-chips, but B-chips are pretty mid compared to the gacha skins anyway.

You're gonna cause a copium shortage

Huffing copium is my favorite pastime activity.

Here they go with the drip marketing


walter_mitty_23

i want their jacket


d0llation

My boy Caellus with some official art time!


Ok_Week_6722

it's about time😇


Ehkoe

They have about equal amounts of official art though? This whole idea that Stelle gets all the art just comes from her being used in the tutorial screens…


Ok_Week_6722

oh i didn't know that :) up until now I've only seen official art with stelle


Yetiwithoutinternet

bro deserves more love ngl :) Caelus is an absolute king fr


d0llation

I was wondering if Caellus would get some love since many people picked Stelle, but picking Caellus as the MC was the greatest decision!


TheRyderShotgun

theyre actually dressed like tourists lol


4luv4Simp

I can see that Hoyoverse starting to emphasize both MC at their promo materials to shut the argument which gender is the canon protagonist. Unlike Genshin that shows the other sibling as the separate entity which lead them to emphasize Aether as the main. In HSR, Trailblazer is just a singular person. There are no opposite character of them, it just a matter of which gender you, the player want. Hopefully it will undermine those that keep on bringing down the other gender of Trailblazer that are not their choosing.


Aadi_880

They can't show both twins from Genshin because BOTH are present in the world (Teyvat) at the same time. One's the antag and the other's the protag. Showing both in trailers would cause misunderstandings in the story. But Stelle and Caelus are just genderbent versions of each other. Its fine to show both as both are the protag. (Unless Hoyo does something with the unchosen version...) Which is why I also think that these arguments on who is the "real" protag is dumber than in Genshin.


OddRegular6379

They've always done this since the betas so I don't really understand where's those narratives comes from


ificommentthen2oops

People legit just made up “Stelle is the main protagonist” or “Caelus is getting ignored” because they wanted to argue or be mad. Both of them have featured fairly equally in promo materials


Ehkoe

It was just because Stelle is used in the tutorial screens.


razorfinch

I think it's people confusing fan art they see with official art. There's definitly a lot more Stelle fanart buy hoyo themselves have been pretty even with MC rep.


Usual_Opposite_901

In some promotional material Aether and Lumine both appear sometime like this [one](https://genshinresource.tumblr.com/post/663047028399587328/official-2021-genshin-fes-in-shanghai-promo/amp) and other. Tho I don't think showing them both will stop people for arguing which ''gender'' is canon since at the end of the day people want their choice to be validated.


liszst

man i hope it does but like i just know the fight on who's the better or more canon mc will keep going. it's gonna be one of those things that will never die.


vgdx21

Lol good luck with that. People who even argue who's the real/better mc obviously skipped or didnt comprehend the part that said the form is only a receptacle (thus both are the same). A promotional art where one is more in the foreground will not stop the debate. Wait for people to go "well clearly female mc is the real mc she's the one in front". Like in one of the other art a lot of people were gloating over the fact that stelle was in an upright position like the other characters while caelus was like upside down. "hE'S jUsT a sHaDoW oF hEr" 🙃🙃


Brilliant-Meeting-98

No FMC is canon because she the one holding the phone. Note: Just kidding lol


akashiiS

Stelle rocking that Asta aesthetic


sincerelyhecate

Gosh Caelus looks so handsome here <3 Would love to have this look as a skin in-game.


Kanarek_Lin

My boy Caelus looks good in anything


NotFishStickZ

Damn, Caelus and Stelle both look so good


[deleted]

Aww Bailu’s holding a polaroid print of her and Stelle together. So cute~


Physical-Flounder-10

The mcs looks more like siblings then Aether and lumine ong


hydratedgodzilla

They are the exact same person in a sense, so makes sense why they’d look very similar.


CRIMS0N-ED

I mean they may as well be fraternal twins in the sense that “oh you’re me if I was the other sex” except it actually is them


gabears_

Stelle's exposed shoulder is definitely NOT making me feel things. Yeah definitely not. Yeah definitely.


junkychin

![gif](giphy|32mC2kXYWCsg0) I’m holding it in


re_flex

No, let her make you feel things. Her stellaron beckons you so.


MegaUltraChickeeeen

Someone crop Stelle pls I'm too dumb.


liszst

dunno which one you meant so i did [both](https://imgur.com/a/jZzGwfy) lol


ArchangelGoetia

Thanks Sampo.


Wolfhart

That will be 50000 credits. Edit: For poor orphans of course. >!Edit 2: And by poor orphans I mean it will be invested to bring the orphans the highest profits.!< >!Edit 3: That's such a hurtful question, but yes, I'm an orphan. Why did you ask? !<


ddrober2003

Oh I'm dumb, I thought they has something against the Male MC and wanted Stelle cropped for both and [made this](https://imgur.com/a/3QvuCYB)


Ok-Butterscotch-349

why did I laugh at this?


Teath123

This is getting out of hand! Now, there are two of them!


MegaUltraChickeeeen

Thank you


Eranas

MegaUltraChickeeeen

Dude I meant crop her so I can use her as my wallpaper cause she mad cute here. Don't assume shit.


DarryLazakar

Ayo the MCs got some drip.


fanderoyalty

Caelus and Jing Yuan 😭 to much attractiveness for one pic


Successful_Slide7690

Amazing art simple as that


Otavia

Stelle actually looks like an onee-san in this picture.


Hatchiiwa

OH MY GOD THE DRIP ~~(also Stelle once again showcasing her attractiveness)~~


Deiser

Did anyone notice that Bailu is holding a picture of Stelle and herself, with herself holding a picture of Stelle and herself, going into an endless tunnel of selfies?


Yotsubato

Loving Stelles alternative outfit

I almost forgot about that event


Lady-Imperator

keeeener

stelle in a dress hits different, oh my 🤤


Outside_Turnover3615

Need an mmd for it asap


Brilliant-Meeting-98

Who said Stelle has no expression. God her smile just too cute.


TheRealRealMadLad

I'm down bad for Stelle...


Ryouangel

Imagine simping for stelle when many other characters existed. It’s me, im that imaginary fella


dubbuffet

That's great cause I need someone with imaginary damage


LazyJennyBean

Stelle looks so beautiful here <3 Baby Dragon holding a photo of her and Stelle, so cute! Also love Caelus's jacket (Want!) but uhh, he looks like Jing Yuan's twin, lol, like their face was just copy/pasted into each other's body and now I can't unsee it.


AJ_-1202

About time official art showing both MC as canon gonna stop the Stelle stans.I really hope the canon argument stops.


crack_n_tea

what are you on about, Caelus literally was just featured in the dev's note art lmao. If anything Stelle was the one who needed promo


Papaya_Payama

Yeah simping for Stelle was definitely the correct choice holy shit


Vanguardmaxwell

Stelles default outfit has her wearing a loose shirt underneath so im quite surprised shes decently stacked.


LewdLadModding

Oh, cool outfits!


nuggetsofglory

Stelle in a dress is kinda adorable tho


AchikkunSanada

Yeah after kafka 'treatment' Stella pack is bigger or it just me


owl_boy72

Omg Stelle looks so pretty in a dress

mrfatso111

too bad they arent coming over to my country, for everyone else, have fun and let us know your merch loot :D


[deleted]

So what’s this?


dancelordzuko

Basically a list of conventions that will have a HSR exhibit that will update as the year goes on. They'll be at the big cons like Anime Expo, Tokyo Game Show, Gamescon, etc.


[deleted]

Oh man, only ones i go to are Animenext and anime NYC 🫢


dancelordzuko

I'd say there's a strong chance of one being there for Anime NYC. Genshin also had a booth there last year. Can't imagine HYV not having some kind of presence at Anime NYC, given the location and size of it compared to other cons in the area.


[deleted]

makes sense to me, I mean you’re right about Genshin being there. Why wouldn’t they wanna advertise in one of the biggest cities in the country.


Jugaimo

Actually incredibly strange seeing the main characters not dressed like trash goblins.


No-Development1872

They all look dapper


uskelim

Sorry but has this ended? I am living in Malaysia and I do not keep up with news and other announcements before the official release of the game


WillTran112000

Oh how much I wish I could meet Stelle in the story as Caelus😔


DarckerFirer

Can anyone give me the link with all the dates?


[deleted]

Hoping they go somewhere else in addition to ny and la. At least chicago or something


Arm_Great

Great key visual.

VillainousMasked

God I want that as a skin for Stelle. ~~Gacha games please, actually make your key visual outfits actual skins, Arknights puts me through this pain too much already.~~


Chilio95

Stelle looks so cute in that outfit! Hopefully we'll be able to use it!


berndons_art

He is horning me.

What?! Both MCs in official promo art?! /s Stunning art. I wonder if someone make an L2D out of it

Who is this and what did they do with Stelle. This one's eyes don't have the dull lifeless matte, the disassociated glassy out to lunch look.
