-versions experience similar problems.

-seconds, and now just a full on game crash when transitioning to a new area. I don't think I've ever had a Trails game crash on me. Luckily I save constantly and the game autosaves so no progress was lost, but still that's a pretty big knock against the game's score. Curious if the Switch and PC-

Overall, while it wasn't a perfect launch, it did a good job of drawing me in and getting me interested in Amphoreus' world and characters. Especially with the story setting up more intrigue about The Herta, March 7th, and the Path of Remembrance.

With all of that said, I do think V3.0 was a good update for the most part. The start to Amphoreus was strong even despite its length, the writing and dialogue was excellent as always, the key events that happened were enjoyable to watch, and all of the new characters introduced were interesting.

us to the new world and story. And it's not just this update that suffered from this. Dan Heng would remain unvoiced for the majority of the Amphoreus story up until V3.6. I cannot stress enough how much presentation and voice acting matter to story immersion in any media that relies on visuals.

Another unfortunate event that happened around this time is the SAG-AFTRA strikes. While Honkai Star Rail was not as impacted as Genshin Impact was, many beloved characters were unvoiced like Dan Heng and Himeko. For the latter this wasn't as egregious, but Dan Heng was our main ally that came with-

-reception by going back to certain 3.0 areas that qualified as dungeons and trimming down the amount of puzzles that the player could not avoid during main story progression. Unfortunately, presentation is going to be an unavoidable issue when looking at every Amphoreus update going forward.

-started to be really noticable especially over the course of a story quest that lasted between 8-10 hours. While I myself didn't mind this as much, I can't really overlook it when the Honkai Star Rail dev team themselves had to speak up about it later. They directly acknowledged the negative-

Sadly, Version 3.0 launched to a very polarizing reception. A lot of Honkai Star Rail's problems began rearing their ugly head with this update mainly in regards to its presentation. The low-budget look of character models for NPC's along with the overall lack of real animation in most of cutscenes-

Version 3.0 - Paean of Era Nova

Introducing new playable characters, The Herta & Aglaea, the game's first new playable path with the Path of Remembrance.

My personal ranking: 7/10.

-is cooking and has my interest far more, HSR is going to be cooking soon this month, like... sorry mecha girl. I may end up failing you after all...

Rufus surprises me with how composed he can be considering I doubt someone of his former position would have ever frequented establishments like this. But I guess it just shows how good of a poker face he has.

Meanwhile Kevin be like: 😀

Same VA btw.

That's probably because of high speed mode. Standard speed wouldn't have the cutscene moving this quickly. lol.
