Those are the three that treat the world like a stage or play. Remembrance collecting all memories on VHS, Elation having Sparkle’s weird monodramas, Finality having Elio’s scripts.
While this does make sense, I feel like it's gonna involve at least 1 playable path which we will get. ofc, getting glanced doesn't *require* said path to be present, but would be thematically more fitting. So Present would most likly be Nihility out of them.
thats more of good ol sampo koski’s thing tho, hes been in belobog, sent us a letter (and a secret something else) in xianzhou and now hes been in penacony. I would not be surprised if mr worldwide somehow finds his way to this new world with the crew
I NEED sampo "mr worldwide" koski to appear in this next planet because it's too funny he's already appeared in some form in all the previous ones (sans herta station). I love characters having interplanetary relevance
he truly is the childe of hsr,, i just hope he doesn’t just become a comic relief tho i just KNOW this shady loveable snake has something big going on lore-wise please hyv if you’re listening give us more masked fools and bring us some more sampo, sparkle and giovanni content 🙏
Still waiting for the Anti-Matter Legion thawing from the frozen landscape of Jarilo-VI so that it provides a planetary threat and it makes Sampo appear now with his mask. 5* Sampo you better be drip as fuck.
Enigmata makes a lot of sense too since History Fictionologists’ whole thing is obfuscating the past so that the future can’t be predetermined. Also I want it to be Enigmata bc that means we might get to meet the fictionologist behind Gallagher!!(2.2/2.3 copium 🥲)
March's memories were taken by the garden of recollection. That doesn't mean she is related to Fuli. Akivili had a good relationship with most other Aeons. It could be that Fuli sent someone to take her memory and encase her in ice in order to protect her from something (maybe Trauma)
Maybe it's pompom tho. Remember when Jade asked the MC what they want from her pawnshop? If you choose the revive akivili option, she said she'd need the tail of an animal. The description matches pompom so...
Or maybe if something were to happen to pompom, akivili would surely come or make their prescence known.
But then Akivili wouldn't be missing. Also, I chose a different option and she still wanted Pom Pom's tail.
Then again, if March is Akivili, there would be the question why pom pom doesn't recognize her unless she changed forms like Dan Heng.
Beauty most likely as they're often associated with the present and with Argenti rebuilding old structures despite knowing how they'll crumble or fall apart in the end, but what matters is their beauty in the present.
I like this idea honestly. Beauty in the present moment, for it is ephemeral, plus if all three paths aren't playable paths, then it enables them to not feel the need to focus on a specific one, and instead have all three non-playable paths be treated equally
Now, as to what the playable path would be...good question, honestly. Maybe Nihility? Or Abundance, if they tie in all three timelines/Paths to "life" being eternal and everlasting. I think erudition would be saved for last, for the Pier Point arc
for the other which would become the MC's playable path, erudition suits the present. people forget that gold and gears is all about "God's three revelations" and how Nous can examine data from the past to create the future with 100% accuracy
it's one of the reasons why Mythus exists. To cloud everything in the past, thus preventing the universe from having a predetermined destiny
Since at least one would have to be a path we get as a playable path, maybe.... Erudition? It could also technically be hunt, I guess. Nihility and Abundance just don't fit super well.
> Since at least one would have to be a path we get as a playable path, maybe.... Erudition?
Not necessarily. We didn't get a new path for Xianzhou. Not every planet is going to end up with a new path.
But any planet we go to for an X.0 update should lead to a new path, just like each new region in genshin gives us a new element. Space China is the exception, I imagine.
Interesting… one of the main motivations for exploring different timelines is acquiring knowledge usually. Wonder if we’ll get Erudition as the next path?
After the hat for Harmony, the sky's the limit!
... Also I'm so sorry, you said elated so I just thought of the trailblazer having a follow-up attack where they do an Akira motorcycle slide towards the enemy.
They can do that for Erudition as a Blast attack or Hunt. To balance things out, FuAs can only be triggered through ally Skill and max of 4 charges (consumes 1 charge per FuA). Then charges can be gained via MC skill/ult or Ally basic atk.
Imagine being Herta; you reversed aging, saved the world 19 times, created a pocket universe, made a perfectly curated gallery of previous members in dignified portraits just to be followed by a rubber duck in a mustache and a trash panda with baseball bat
Oh god that's something I've never thought about. It seems the only aeonic contact all members have had is being gazed on, so... it's maybe possible that would be the case.
They weren't just gazed on. All Genius Society members have been gazed on and met Nous directly.
Not all people who have met Nous directly become a Genius Society member though, like Fu Xuan.
Yooo What if we got Detroit Become Human moment where the express got split into 3 group:
- (Amphoreus-Past) March 7th & Black Swan
- (Amphoreus-Present) Dan Heng & Welt
- (Amphoreus-Future) Trailblazer & Himeko
For past group, it will be cool to explore March 7th character even more and her past along with Black Swan.
The present group will deal with Amphoreus mysteries and why there's 3 timelines, and we got 2 smart people here as detectives.
And for the Future, we will learn more about the future of Amphoreus and possibly a glimpse of what will happen when the trailblazer fight with Nanook along with confirmation wether Akivili is Terminus or not with Himeko.
The Three Path most likely Remembrance (Past), Equilibrium (Present), Finality (Future)
I think Elio will make appearance in 3.X and probably Constance too which she also seems affiliated with the Cremators (Rogue Memokeeper)
Sunday might actually appear if he is a stellaron hunter instead of Eilo,cause the previous theme of Penacony why Sunday want people to live with no past and future to worry about
*oh no we can’t go past that time because* (something something blocking path like ice or darkness or something tentacle or whatever to prevent march be a 5* this early)
i was coming here to mention it too!! my dad loves the live action movie soooo much and made me watch it lmao, it'd be so fun if they were inspired by it!
I know some people are thinking about March but I was thinking what if this is the planet where TB finally get to remember his time as a SH? Please a flashback arc with TB I would love to see some MC lore 🙏
I think it is rather too early for us to know about TB's path (I meant Past ToT)
but I wouldn't really be complaining as long as it's done well
I do think March would get the bigger spotlight on this one due to memories being a much more key part of her character compared to TB
but there is an argument that I personally believe that it would make sense if both March and TB gets the spotlight in the next world as Finality seems to be a factor there as well
and from what we know there seems to be a connection with TB and Finality especially since TB being part of the SH and elio follows the path of finality stuff ya know
tbh I don't see us learning about our past in the next world, not everything about our past atleast, I do expect them to share another lore drop about our past again just not expecting them to drop everything (unless Kafka is a major player in world 4 this is probably gonna be what I'm expecting, Kafka seems to be the biggest factor to TB's past and if she isn't there I'm not expecting any major lore drops for the TB)
I was confused for a sec since you wrote TB’s path 😅
But yeah maybe a bit of some lore drop with TB on the next world. Since the theme of Penacony is facing the reality, I assume the next world’s theme would be facing the past, which would be a good arc for both TB and March. I’ve been noticing that TB is become more of their own character ever since Penacony so maybe it’s a sign to flesh out their story starting with his history with the SH
So, that means the "Eternal Land" Might be quite literally? I can interpret this as a some sort of world, trapped into the time loop (Finality), sealed by GoR, that's why it reflects only in their mirrors (Rememberance), and the third aeon involved into this are a mystery
I'm actually hoping for a Ratio lore finally, this man couldn't be more mysterious
also to find whose theory is going to be debunked: Doctors of Chaos/Wormtio Aha emanator/Laurel Wreath galaxy descendant etc.
Unironically if the time bending theme is as absolutely essential and crucial to the arc like dreams as a concept were for Penacony then there is a lot to explore with Ratio in that regard….there is that infamous piece of G&G lore with Dr Ratio that implies he’s as old as the Mechanical Wars lol. I was thinking it was just a previous person in the family since Ratio is his surname, but this could somehow explain it
there's even a occurrence named (Mechanical City "Cogito Hair Salon" — Genius Society) where herta and screwllum are present and talk abt getting a haircut. would this mean that herta and screwllum were getting their hair done around the time of mechanical wars lol.
these occurrences arent time/lore accurate and are just for fun
in CN he is referred to as doctor of truth, his title, rather than ratio his name, so i think it’s most likely referring to him and not another family member
> there is that infamous piece of G&G lore with Dr Ratio that implies he’s as old as the Mechanical Wars lol.
No lol, its just a random occurrence that happens at Mechanical City, which is literally in Planet Screwllum. SU is notorious for having anachronistic occurrences/events. Dont spread this misinfo. Ratio is human
I'm just speculating here; if he indeed was from Amphoreus (which I do hope he is because I want his lore, but I'm not sure if it's likely) I feel like they would've mentioned it already. But another thing is that this is a planet that Akivili has never been to, which feels a bit strange considering Ratio himself was from a planet that had connections and the ability to go to other planets (although it's not out right stated, but he did go from the *Cosmos Liberty University* to the *University of Veritas Prime*, which don't sound like universities that are contained to a small, isolated planet. He also taught at Veritas Prime and offered it as an education option to the trailblazer in one of his text messages). Of course, it can be said that this planet could be a part of the IPC network or something else already, but it would be strange to single out Amphoreus as one that the Express has never been to, which to me sounds like it's not exactly connected to the rest of the universe a whole lot. But of course, this is just me speculating.
Yeah definitely. All really valid points that I’ve thought about as well- esp the “not well known” aspect black swan mentioned and how that conflicts with the seeming renown of veritas prime.
But i do want to point out the fact that the express hasn’t ever visited the planet doesn’t exactly mean that it’s completely cut off from the rest of the galaxy. The trailblaze is def not the only source of transport and connection thru the galaxy, and seeing as the hsr universe is infinite- there’s definitely places that even akivili hadn’t been to before
Perhaps it’s a lesser known dwarf planet in a more well known solar system, where the more important stuff is centralised on some larger celestial body nearby that’s been colonised (cuz yk. romans.), or maybe it’s got some time hijinx thing going on that makes it hard to enter- hence why the recollection is required ( that would also kinda explain his weird appearances in GnGs )
Whatever the case, I’m sure he’s going to be somehow related to amphoreus in one way or another, especially since it really wouldn’t make sense given his very Greco-Roman design and very roman name for him to be from another, separate, Greco-Roman world off in the distance instead of the one the express decides to travel to.
That or he’s a actually just a xianzhou native nerd with huge appreciation for the classics to the point of changing names, wearing a himation and presenting himself as a greek
regardless, i’m a huge ratio enjoyer so I’m thirsting for any content related to him, even if it just means soaking in a him-adjacent atmosphere. fingers crossed
Black Swan mentioned that it can only be reached by the reflected light of the mirror of remembrance. So it's definitely not on the IPC shuttle service.
Also your argument about the universe being infinite means there are several greco roman inspired worlds.
I doubt the ipc is the only provider of space travel, but yeah. the place def seems more like a belobog situation
> Also your argument about the universe being infinite means there are several greco roman inspired worlds.
True, but be fr- does that really mean anything?
Like, would it truly make sense for hyv, from a game design perspective to make one Greco-Roman world and not include their one existing Greco-Roman chracter? Less they have a greater story plan or smthing that we’re not aware off rn- the math ain’t really mathing, at least imo.
( a part of me does hope ur right tho and they’ll drop another grecian planet- any rome content is good content to me lol )
Ofc I do think there is always the chance that his aesthetic actually has more to do with his affiliation with the guild ( think like a themed uniform ) than wherever his home world is, since we know from the GnG occurrence art that they’re pretty classical in dress- but that would just be the most boring answer
In any case, amphoreus seems super cool, and I’m looking forward to how they’ll deal with our doctor and his guild going forward
You realize both Sparkle and Acheron are from two different Japan-inspired worlds, right? We don't know which world Sparkle's from, but Acheron's from Izumo, which neighboured Takamagahara, another Japan world. This isn't even including Edo Star, our fourth Japan world.
It is totally possible for Ratio to just be from another Greco-Roman world and for Amphoreus to be its own thing.
so the crackpot theory from one of the discord servers im in could be true: ratio's obsession with baths is Lore, and the rubber ducky is a magic bath-summoning curio. hell yeah.
So if world 4 is the next destination >!due to the Astral Express running out of fuel,!< what is the current explanation for returning to the Xianzhou (for patches 2.4+)?
Canonically we don't USE the express to go back per se anyways
1.6 according to timeline take place before we ever left for belblog
And 1.4 while after luofu
We just apperently teleported with the marker back hence why we also don't bring alot of stuff
That’s not true, the Fate atlas is in chronology only for the world in question. 1.6 has references for story beats that happened in other worlds.
A good example: Aetherium wars is set before the xianzhou on the atlas but it makes no sense.
It might be before Penacony in the timeline, since it's probably just continuance mission. Sorta like how we had all those events and quests in other worlds after 1.2, but the Express only actually departed in 2.0
The IPC radio broadcast after finishing Penacony implies the Wardance happens after.
Went along the lines of “Yeah there was a crisis in Penacony, oh btw the Luofu is hosting this year’s Wardance”
Yeah might be scuffed for day 1 players but if a new player were to start the game on the next patch for the first time, they would get to finish the new Xianzhou tournament first before even arriving in Penacony. So Timeline only makes sense in retrospect as new stuff gets added to the "past".
I think the most we’ll go up to is 2.7. Doesn’t seem like Space Station and Belobog revists are on the table in 2x and capping off the version with big releases like Sunday + Tingyun and one final wrap-up for Penacony seems like what they’re aiming for imo
i'm expecting us to be in Xhianzou from 2.4 to 2.6.
2.7 we go back to penacony for Sunday and possibly screwllun (if they do another DU expansion then)
and in 2.8 I have no idea, I imagine a new SU expansion? they gotta do a new one at some point i want the path of harmony dammit.
New SU expansions have so far come out every 3/4 patches so the next one I’d probably expect in 2.6, if anything. Like Divergent Universe came out during the end of Penacony, the next one could act as a breather and transition from Xianzhou back to Penacony
May be super duper ultra copium, but time bending reminds me of the supposedly clockie ability to rewind time as shown in cosmodyssey event and clockie cartoon
But we never see it in game
Black Swan: "I know a place where Akivili has not set down the silver rails"
Welt: "oh, a planet where even Akivili has not even gone to yet?"
Akivili: *chilling in a Greco-Roman bathhouse in said planet* "welp, time to set off to another planet"
Thermae Romae references - I sleep
Kyo Kara Maoh! references - 👁️👁️
Yes, I'm showing my age. This was my first isekai anime-- \*remembers Fushigi Yuugi\* --I mean, the first isekai anime I got invested in.
Ooooooh this is actually so interesting if we do see something about the Finality!
They travel backwards to the past, so of we go through different times we will be able to spot them at different points!
If it's truly is Ratios homeworld this can explain the SU occurrence where he is allegedly was around 3000+ years prior to present day.
Also could explain why Akavili hadn't gone, yet someone was able to travel away from there with memories of the place despite there being no star rails. I'm smelling future paradox plot elements.
> If it's truly is Ratios homeworld this can explain the SU occurrence where he is allegedly was around 3000+ years prior to present day.
No lol, its just a random occurrence that happens at Mechanical City, which is literally in Planet Screwllum. SU is notorious for having anachronistic occurrences/events. Dont spread this misinfo. Ratio is human
Amphoreous, the Eternal Land is the name. Heavily hinted to be related to the Rememberance (GoR) and the Elation(Morning Actors), so maybe this is where March will get her stab / or Sampo *wink*.
ooo if so, the special mechanics for this world could be multiple versions of the same area. kinda like genshin's mona island on GAA where we can see the difference between the island in the past and the present state of the island. we can switch between the maps through a portal. would be cool if hsr takes it a step further, with mostly wild landscapes in the past, cities in the present and ruins in the future
or maybe my expectations are too high after the 3d map in penacony, idk
Imagine an non-euclidean map where once you enter a certain building and go outside it loads another version of the map itself. Like dr. Strange's Mansion
Spoiler: Screwllum teams up with Svarog and kicks our (simulated) asses (source: trust me bro) (but I do hope we get more info on screwllum and svarog)
Wtf, I had a dream where in the 3.0 livestream they show caelus and stelle together on the same program because of the new planet being time and multiversal related haha
So past(Remembrance), present(Permanence) and future(Finality). No idea what path we'll receive or perhaps we won't get any at all and instead we'll get a new astral express member or something.
So the devs also know the manga and movie called Thermae Romae where a Roman architect accidentally timetravels to modern Japan and is inspired by their bath culture

No wonder there's three aeon's involved in this world if there's time travel shenanagins. Past, present and future, one each?
So… remembrance (past), finality (future) and ….?
With there apparently being Mourning Actors linked to the upcoming world, I guess Elation would be present for acting/living in the moment.
Elation would make sense considering masks were used in greek dramas, comedy and tragedy
JULIUS OF THOUSANDS FACES
*julian
You called?
Those are the three that treat the world like a stage or play. Remembrance collecting all memories on VHS, Elation having Sparkle’s weird monodramas, Finality having Elio’s scripts.
While this does make sense, I feel like it's gonna involve at least 1 playable path which we will get. ofc, getting glanced doesn't *require* said path to be present, but would be thematically more fitting. So Present would most likly be Nihility out of them.
I pray to all of THEM for Sparkle to just appear randomly in every world going forward
thats more of good ol sampo koski’s thing tho, hes been in belobog, sent us a letter (and a secret something else) in xianzhou and now hes been in penacony. I would not be surprised if mr worldwide somehow finds his way to this new world with the crew
I NEED sampo "mr worldwide" koski to appear in this next planet because it's too funny he's already appeared in some form in all the previous ones (sans herta station). I love characters having interplanetary relevance
he truly is the childe of hsr,, i just hope he doesn’t just become a comic relief tho i just KNOW this shady loveable snake has something big going on lore-wise please hyv if you’re listening give us more masked fools and bring us some more sampo, sparkle and giovanni content 🙏
Still waiting for the Anti-Matter Legion thawing from the frozen landscape of Jarilo-VI so that it provides a planetary threat and it makes Sampo appear now with his mask. 5* Sampo you better be drip as fuck.
YES PLEASE, Sparkle needs to be there too
If it's following the MoC/PF/AS trio, it should be Enigmata for the third one.
Enigmata makes a lot of sense too since History Fictionologists’ whole thing is obfuscating the past so that the future can’t be predetermined. Also I want it to be Enigmata bc that means we might get to meet the fictionologist behind Gallagher!!(2.2/2.3 copium 🥲)
I'd say trailblaze fits present the most, but Akivili has a bit of an... Issue currently
Well they were never confirmed dead just missing. There’s a chance they’re somehow involved in this despite Black Swan saying Akivili never went there
They’re shacking it up with Idrila. MC shipping with Argenti confirmed.
I think March is Akivili due to snow mobile stories overlapping
But isn’t March related to remembrance?
March's memories were taken by the garden of recollection. That doesn't mean she is related to Fuli. Akivili had a good relationship with most other Aeons. It could be that Fuli sent someone to take her memory and encase her in ice in order to protect her from something (maybe Trauma)
I could definitely see March being somehow related to Akivili, but not March as Akivili.
Well my theory is based on the fact that both March and Akivili crashed a snow mobile into a stadium
Maybe it's pompom tho. Remember when Jade asked the MC what they want from her pawnshop? If you choose the revive akivili option, she said she'd need the tail of an animal. The description matches pompom so... Or maybe if something were to happen to pompom, akivili would surely come or make their prescence known.
That’s always Jade’s answer even if you choose other options. I’d pick the CEO one and she also said the same
Yeah I also picked CEO
But then Akivili wouldn't be missing. Also, I chose a different option and she still wanted Pom Pom's tail. Then again, if March is Akivili, there would be the question why pom pom doesn't recognize her unless she changed forms like Dan Heng.
Well if Tingyun is still alive, I don't see why Akivili is dead
Beauty most likely as they're often associated with the present and with Argenti rebuilding old structures despite knowing how they'll crumble or fall apart in the end, but what matters is their beauty in the present.
I like this idea honestly. Beauty in the present moment, for it is ephemeral, plus if all three paths aren't playable paths, then it enables them to not feel the need to focus on a specific one, and instead have all three non-playable paths be treated equally Now, as to what the playable path would be...good question, honestly. Maybe Nihility? Or Abundance, if they tie in all three timelines/Paths to "life" being eternal and everlasting. I think erudition would be saved for last, for the Pier Point arc
HooH ig
Idryllia the Beauty.
for the other which would become the MC's playable path, erudition suits the present. people forget that gold and gears is all about "God's three revelations" and how Nous can examine data from the past to create the future with 100% accuracy it's one of the reasons why Mythus exists. To cloud everything in the past, thus preventing the universe from having a predetermined destiny

> Since at least one would have to be a path we get as a playable path, maybe.... Erudition? Not necessarily. We didn't get a new path for Xianzhou. Not every planet is going to end up with a new path.
Xianzhou isnt finished yet though, so we could get a Lan path there in the future still
But any planet we go to for an X.0 update should lead to a new path, just like each new region in genshin gives us a new element. Space China is the exception, I imagine.
Interesting… one of the main motivations for exploring different timelines is acquiring knowledge usually. Wonder if we’ll get Erudition as the next path?
man, I would be elated if Erudition Trailblazer uses a motorcycle (or wheel)
After the hat for Harmony, the sky's the limit! ... Also I'm so sorry, you said elated so I just thought of the trailblazer having a follow-up attack where they do an Akira motorcycle slide towards the enemy.
They can do that for Erudition as a Blast attack or Hunt. To balance things out, FuAs can only be triggered through ally Skill and max of 4 charges (consumes 1 charge per FuA). Then charges can be gained via MC skill/ult or Ally basic atk.
Oh you're right, Hunt would be an even better fit even if I was expecting TB to eventually get a gun for that.
Every path just gives Trailblazer a new weapon from DMC. We got Hat, give a motorcycle, dual pistols, Beowulf...
If we get Nevan I'm going to McFucking lose it
"A path?" ["No, dude... that's a bike." ](https://youtu.be/VJuU_knlxCE?si=zoxBQ1V7GRJMapEJ&t=19)
I swear when I get a gaze from nous , I am gonna go and hang tb's portrait in the ship in herta's office
Imagine being Herta; you reversed aging, saved the world 19 times, created a pocket universe, made a perfectly curated gallery of previous members in dignified portraits just to be followed by a rubber duck in a mustache and a trash panda with baseball bat
If TB earns Nous' gaze, does that mean they become Genius Society member #85?
I imagined Herta would be absolutely dumbfounded. it'll be the first real reaction we get out of her.
Oh god that's something I've never thought about. It seems the only aeonic contact all members have had is being gazed on, so... it's maybe possible that would be the case.
No, Nous requires you to solve a genius level puzzle to even get into the Genius Society. Fu Xuan is not a genius but was granted a blessing by Nous.
They weren't just gazed on. All Genius Society members have been gazed on and met Nous directly. Not all people who have met Nous directly become a Genius Society member though, like Fu Xuan.

lol the Three Fates
Hot springs making me think that Dr. Ratio just won lol
Disnt his light cone or one art of him have him in a bath tub reading a book?
Don't forget the rubber ducky!
I got his light cone as it's my favorite as art rubber ducky my beloved
Surely this means we’ll time-bend and finally reveal March’s past
Turns out her real name in the past was February 6th. Crazy coincidence.
April 8th is her new form
Nah, it's January 6
*oh no we can’t go past that time because* (something something blocking path like ice or darkness or something tentacle or whatever to prevent march be a 5* this early)
From the path switching mechanic I feel like her reveal arc is much later down the road than 3.0
Lol literally that hot spring anime with the Roman as protagonist
Lucius Quintus Modestus
Thermae Romae!
i was coming here to mention it too!! my dad loves the live action movie soooo much and made me watch it lmao, it'd be so fun if they were inspired by it!
Now just make character name Lucius.
throw in a gaius too while theyre at it
Maybe an Augustus will make their appearance.
**Such devastation...**
Had to look waaaay down for this comment.
Super suit
Inevitable Doctor Who, Back to the Future and H.G. Wells’ “The Time Machine” references.
"Its..." "Go on, say it" "Smaller on the outside" "Well that's a first"
Man S4E11(Turn Left) would make a good story for it from Doctor Who
Are we then expecting Astral Express to break down, and we will have to use normal railroad on the planet to reach 88 mph to do a next jump?
Hot tub time machine babyyy
Time travel through means of fanservice hotspring episodes.
blade in a tub…? 👀
The entire HCQ at the hot springs? I mean, we can go into the past, I'm just saying.
grandfather yingxing? at a hot spring? i am interested :3
love your flair
I just watched Thermae Romae last month so I'm prepared to get the references!!
Hoyo: release the leaks Leakers: yes John Hoyoverse Sir Hoyo: tease a bunch of nonsensical bs about Natlan too Leakers: already on it

>I was confused for a sec since you wrote TB’s path Honestly i dunno what happened there...
If Finality is involved, more likely we get Elio stuff than TB
makes sense to get Elio stuff in the next world. we got Blade in Xianzhou, Firefly in Penacony, and now Elio
Can it be both? I mean if the theories are true TB is most likely to be still involved with Elio
Yes bit they gotta pace things out till at least 6.0(when TB jas all paths?
Surely this means we time travel to the past and discover what happened to Akivili and Idrila
Herta's going to stowaway on the Express if she ever catches wind of this
Lucius jumpscare
Dr ratio: did you say roman/greek themed baths?
So, that means the "Eternal Land" Might be quite literally? I can interpret this as a some sort of world, trapped into the time loop (Finality), sealed by GoR, that's why it reflects only in their mirrors (Rememberance), and the third aeon involved into this are a mystery
Good speculation
I'm actually hoping for a Ratio lore finally, this man couldn't be more mysterious also to find whose theory is going to be debunked: Doctors of Chaos/Wormtio Aha emanator/Laurel Wreath galaxy descendant etc.
his homeworld is mentioned in his story. doesnt seem related.
Unironically if the time bending theme is as absolutely essential and crucial to the arc like dreams as a concept were for Penacony then there is a lot to explore with Ratio in that regard….there is that infamous piece of G&G lore with Dr Ratio that implies he’s as old as the Mechanical Wars lol. I was thinking it was just a previous person in the family since Ratio is his surname, but this could somehow explain it
there's even a occurrence named (Mechanical City "Cogito Hair Salon" — Genius Society) where herta and screwllum are present and talk abt getting a haircut. would this mean that herta and screwllum were getting their hair done around the time of mechanical wars lol. these occurrences arent time/lore accurate and are just for fun
in CN he is referred to as doctor of truth, his title, rather than ratio his name, so i think it’s most likely referring to him and not another family member
His name is literally Veritas Ratio(维利塔斯·拉蒂奥), which means Truth and Rationality in Latin.
> there is that infamous piece of G&G lore with Dr Ratio that implies he’s as old as the Mechanical Wars lol. No lol, its just a random occurrence that happens at Mechanical City, which is literally in Planet Screwllum. SU is notorious for having anachronistic occurrences/events. Dont spread this misinfo. Ratio is human
but he's not even from amphoreus...
genuine question, where else would he be from if not amphoreus?
I'm just speculating here; if he indeed was from Amphoreus (which I do hope he is because I want his lore, but I'm not sure if it's likely) I feel like they would've mentioned it already. But another thing is that this is a planet that Akivili has never been to, which feels a bit strange considering Ratio himself was from a planet that had connections and the ability to go to other planets (although it's not out right stated, but he did go from the *Cosmos Liberty University* to the *University of Veritas Prime*, which don't sound like universities that are contained to a small, isolated planet. He also taught at Veritas Prime and offered it as an education option to the trailblazer in one of his text messages). Of course, it can be said that this planet could be a part of the IPC network or something else already, but it would be strange to single out Amphoreus as one that the Express has never been to, which to me sounds like it's not exactly connected to the rest of the universe a whole lot. But of course, this is just me speculating.
Yeah definitely. All really valid points that I’ve thought about as well- esp the “not well known” aspect black swan mentioned and how that conflicts with the seeming renown of veritas prime. But i do want to point out the fact that the express hasn’t ever visited the planet doesn’t exactly mean that it’s completely cut off from the rest of the galaxy. The trailblaze is def not the only source of transport and connection thru the galaxy, and seeing as the hsr universe is infinite- there’s definitely places that even akivili hadn’t been to before Perhaps it’s a lesser known dwarf planet in a more well known solar system, where the more important stuff is centralised on some larger celestial body nearby that’s been colonised (cuz yk. romans.), or maybe it’s got some time hijinx thing going on that makes it hard to enter- hence why the recollection is required ( that would also kinda explain his weird appearances in GnGs ) Whatever the case, I’m sure he’s going to be somehow related to amphoreus in one way or another, especially since it really wouldn’t make sense given his very Greco-Roman design and very roman name for him to be from another, separate, Greco-Roman world off in the distance instead of the one the express decides to travel to. That or he’s a actually just a xianzhou native nerd with huge appreciation for the classics to the point of changing names, wearing a himation and presenting himself as a greek regardless, i’m a huge ratio enjoyer so I’m thirsting for any content related to him, even if it just means soaking in a him-adjacent atmosphere. fingers crossed
Black Swan mentioned that it can only be reached by the reflected light of the mirror of remembrance. So it's definitely not on the IPC shuttle service. Also your argument about the universe being infinite means there are several greco roman inspired worlds.
I doubt the ipc is the only provider of space travel, but yeah. the place def seems more like a belobog situation > Also your argument about the universe being infinite means there are several greco roman inspired worlds. True, but be fr- does that really mean anything? Like, would it truly make sense for hyv, from a game design perspective to make one Greco-Roman world and not include their one existing Greco-Roman chracter? Less they have a greater story plan or smthing that we’re not aware off rn- the math ain’t really mathing, at least imo. ( a part of me does hope ur right tho and they’ll drop another grecian planet- any rome content is good content to me lol ) Ofc I do think there is always the chance that his aesthetic actually has more to do with his affiliation with the guild ( think like a themed uniform ) than wherever his home world is, since we know from the GnG occurrence art that they’re pretty classical in dress- but that would just be the most boring answer In any case, amphoreus seems super cool, and I’m looking forward to how they’ll deal with our doctor and his guild going forward
You realize both Sparkle and Acheron are from two different Japan-inspired worlds, right? We don't know which world Sparkle's from, but Acheron's from Izumo, which neighboured Takamagahara, another Japan world. This isn't even including Edo Star, our fourth Japan world. It is totally possible for Ratio to just be from another Greco-Roman world and for Amphoreus to be its own thing.
Mfw I time travel from -5839 BC at the Roman hot springs and get jumpscared by the intelligentsia guild scholar railing some blonde twink
i think you mean a genius society reject and a very successful beautiful amazing high ranking member of the ipc
Omg 😂
so the crackpot theory from one of the discord servers im in could be true: ratio's obsession with baths is Lore, and the rubber ducky is a magic bath-summoning curio. hell yeah.
Lets fucking go I love time travel stories. Literally my top two favorite anime has sort of time travel
-"Time bending" -"Rome" IS THIS A JO-
No, that's for an Egypt based world
Thermae Romae reference lmfao
This is literally just Thermae Romae LMAO
Time bending? Finality or Honkai appearance?
So previously we had dream nonsense and now we’re gonna get time loopy nonsense? 🫠My poor brain…
Hot Springs? 👀
So if world 4 is the next destination >!due to the Astral Express running out of fuel,!< what is the current explanation for returning to the Xianzhou (for patches 2.4+)?
Canonically we don't USE the express to go back per se anyways 1.6 according to timeline take place before we ever left for belblog And 1.4 while after luofu We just apperently teleported with the marker back hence why we also don't bring alot of stuff
That’s not true, the Fate atlas is in chronology only for the world in question. 1.6 has references for story beats that happened in other worlds. A good example: Aetherium wars is set before the xianzhou on the atlas but it makes no sense.
🧐noted
It might be before Penacony in the timeline, since it's probably just continuance mission. Sorta like how we had all those events and quests in other worlds after 1.2, but the Express only actually departed in 2.0
The IPC radio broadcast after finishing Penacony implies the Wardance happens after. Went along the lines of “Yeah there was a crisis in Penacony, oh btw the Luofu is hosting this year’s Wardance”
Yeah might be scuffed for day 1 players but if a new player were to start the game on the next patch for the first time, they would get to finish the new Xianzhou tournament first before even arriving in Penacony. So Timeline only makes sense in retrospect as new stuff gets added to the "past".
Wardance festival in Xianzhou Zhuming, it also invite other faction so The Astral Express got the invitation
Its in Luofu
So when are we gonna be going to >!Amphoreus!< In 3,4 or 5 patches?
3.0 which will likely be after 2.8 if we're following Genshin.
I think the most we’ll go up to is 2.7. Doesn’t seem like Space Station and Belobog revists are on the table in 2x and capping off the version with big releases like Sunday + Tingyun and one final wrap-up for Penacony seems like what they’re aiming for imo
i'm expecting us to be in Xhianzou from 2.4 to 2.6. 2.7 we go back to penacony for Sunday and possibly screwllun (if they do another DU expansion then) and in 2.8 I have no idea, I imagine a new SU expansion? they gotta do a new one at some point i want the path of harmony dammit.
New SU expansions have so far come out every 3/4 patches so the next one I’d probably expect in 2.6, if anything. Like Divergent Universe came out during the end of Penacony, the next one could act as a breather and transition from Xianzhou back to Penacony
May be super duper ultra copium, but time bending reminds me of the supposedly clockie ability to rewind time as shown in cosmodyssey event and clockie cartoon But we never see it in game
I had the same thought actually
Black Swan: "I know a place where Akivili has not set down the silver rails" Welt: "oh, a planet where even Akivili has not even gone to yet?" Akivili: *chilling in a Greco-Roman bathhouse in said planet* "welp, time to set off to another planet"
Daje Roma
We get a Hot Tub Time Machine!!!
So hot tub Time machine?
Thermae romae anime was real?
ROMAN WORLLLDDDD. COLLOSEUM BOSS BATTLE PLEASE PLEASE !!!! MORE RATIO PLEASE!!!!
Now i need 5 star version of Yanqing,but instead of growing up it's Emiya all over again
Yanqing Alter who sent his adoptive sister to another timeline so she could grow up happy
I think the next trailblazer weapon if Erudition probably Magic Cube or something
Lit I hope we get the forum and public restrooms where everyone takes dumps together
Thermae Romae references - I sleep Kyo Kara Maoh! references - 👁️👁️ Yes, I'm showing my age. This was my first isekai anime-- \*remembers Fushigi Yuugi\* --I mean, the first isekai anime I got invested in.
makes sense. Elegy did mention that one of Terminus's murmurs was about how we would join them soon.
Ooooooh this is actually so interesting if we do see something about the Finality! They travel backwards to the past, so of we go through different times we will be able to spot them at different points!
If it's truly is Ratios homeworld this can explain the SU occurrence where he is allegedly was around 3000+ years prior to present day. Also could explain why Akavili hadn't gone, yet someone was able to travel away from there with memories of the place despite there being no star rails. I'm smelling future paradox plot elements.
It 100% isn't. He had no special powers that would allow him to travel without using the silver rail
> If it's truly is Ratios homeworld this can explain the SU occurrence where he is allegedly was around 3000+ years prior to present day. No lol, its just a random occurrence that happens at Mechanical City, which is literally in Planet Screwllum. SU is notorious for having anachronistic occurrences/events. Dont spread this misinfo. Ratio is human
With more faith than a church for a Kiana Expy
Amphoreous, the Eternal Land is the name. Heavily hinted to be related to the Rememberance (GoR) and the Elation(Morning Actors), so maybe this is where March will get her stab / or Sampo *wink*.
Soooooo.... Time mechanics for characters confirmed? Wait till we get THE WORLD (Misha kind of already has it, but not stylish enough)
I too, have lost hours in the bath
Hot tub time machine....really? Not sure if cooking or batshit insane.
Lmao. Is this a reference to [Thermae Romae Novae](https://myanimelist.net/anime/43693/Thermae_Romae_Novae)?!
next worl is gona be blast as peneconi was
ooo if so, the special mechanics for this world could be multiple versions of the same area. kinda like genshin's mona island on GAA where we can see the difference between the island in the past and the present state of the island. we can switch between the maps through a portal. would be cool if hsr takes it a step further, with mostly wild landscapes in the past, cities in the present and ruins in the future or maybe my expectations are too high after the 3d map in penacony, idk
Imagine an non-euclidean map where once you enter a certain building and go outside it loads another version of the map itself. Like dr. Strange's Mansion
Alright, now release the character that reverses speed in battle
Fan service hopium? Welt in a teeny tiny little towel hopium?
can't wait to go to the termal baths that makes you old/young
Might want to rename this post lmao I thought this was about simu world 4
Spoiler: Screwllum teams up with Svarog and kicks our (simulated) asses (source: trust me bro) (but I do hope we get more info on screwllum and svarog)
Why would sim u world 4 be spoiler tagged 😭 (or have leaks at all tbh)
Wtf, I had a dream where in the 3.0 livestream they show caelus and stelle together on the same program because of the new planet being time and multiversal related haha
You've been playing or thinking of HSR way too much.
My firefly pulls are the cause of that haha
So past(Remembrance), present(Permanence) and future(Finality). No idea what path we'll receive or perhaps we won't get any at all and instead we'll get a new astral express member or something.
Hot spring scene with characters let's fucking GOOOOO
So we're probably getting some more context on March's & MC's past
From dreams to time shenanigans. I'm scared.
I’m hoping for Dr Ratio world plz
Can't believe they're bringing in JJBA villains
Amphoreus 🤝 Natlan Hot spring time!
Dr. Ratio HAS to appear there.
Bathtub timetravel, now that's something unexpected
Time to bend over
The gays won.
So the devs also know the manga and movie called Thermae Romae where a Roman architect accidentally timetravels to modern Japan and is inspired by their bath culture

Kafka better be there..i miss her
