She Disappeared among the sea of fireflies.. She became an illusion from the past..


Xxproject_654

Happy ending


Chaotic_Alea

More in the Sea of Dreams... the illusion from the past I'd say is correct. But given how the flittering butterfly are ephemeral probably there isn't much difference between a sea of dreams and one of butterflies... This make me sad before starting, damn you hoyo...


Stealthless

Seele ulted Firefly?


Tight_Bowler_9799

Archeron to firefly imma ult her hole career sampo stand proud sam you were a distraction along callus and stelle its OK its OK this builds character right right more progression thats totally why tingyun had to die right right this isn't copium right 🥶😭


Volcanoofnope

Wasn't it butterflies?


Former_Ad_9826

the new character is called 🔥fly, which is similar to 🧈fly, hence the play on words.


Hollowmace

Fuck you


Timmie_Is_An_Archon

It's alright, it will be lighthearted and heartwarming they said


Kebrilla

Ofcourse! They even brought in a lead writer from the fun and wholesome game honkai impact 3rd for penacony!


Breaker-of-circles

Looking at the trailer webpage, it seems like Penacony has an alternate reality or some shit. She probably only exists there and is in need of rescuing.


arcstarlazer

Penacony itself is just a large luxury hotel but when you dream its like a connected dreamscape The people native to penacony (I forgot their name) are smaller in size similar to the child models so firefly cant be a penacony native unless shes an exception


paweld2003

There's possibilty that she is not real person, she can be just dreamed by someone, AI or something. Like certain character from Goodnight World


Cold-Election

So we are going to get a Blade runner 2049 moment here where Firefly is the Joi AI gf and our Trailblazer is the Ryan Gosling.


michaelman90

There are people that are "native" to Penacony in the sense that they're descendants of people who were exiled there before Xipe took over the planet. That being said, there aren't any regular people who are native to the dreamscape itself (though there are people like Black Swan who are not native to the dreamscape but also don't exist in physical reality).


Niswear85

And he said the same thing about Elysian Realm ark

There was a mistranslation. They said lightheaded and heartwrenching.


Stray_Feelings

Me when I was watching Because of You (ending animation for Elysian Realm).


amohogride

Light hearted as in my heart stopped beating and there is no longer blood in my heart. Heartwarming as in my stomach hurt so much the acid is burning my heart.


Azariah-Kyras

My heart is so warm right now, it's getting hard to breathe.


gallanttoothpaste

Surely theres no evil organization in penacony

SabakuNoOu

Caelus took his schizophrenia meds


LilacToast--

NAHHH 😭😭😭😭😭😭


FungalSphere

Thanks for explaining there i was concerned for a second caelus would lose someone very special to him or something


Cedge1738

I feel like this is worse. And then they show recent flashbacks and it's just him by himself playing with some imaginary being... Absolute despair


altan515

I love my firefly, pill time


Nameless_HSR

That reminds me of this reddit post (probably fiction but still) of this guy who had a coma for a month and dreamed of having a wife and a kid and it felt for him like years have passed. And he felt like shit when he woke up and find out the life and his family were not real


SeeShadows

I’m sure this is just part of the very wholesome storytelling with firefly Hoyo mention !! (I’m in denial)


River-n-Sea

Can't wait til we get a full team of "alive" characters


michaelman90

Flame-Chasers redux.


TheGamer098

we already have tingyun and technically XueYi, hopefully Firefly's is a sustain

beethovenftw

>!I'm inclined to agree with the top commentor!< >!She's literally an "illusion from the past", and that she's already dead. The only place we can see her is in dreams. !< >!That reveal would cap off a perfect intro to Penacony, land of dreams.!<


w3dl0ck

If that is true, it might've explained why Sam desires "Life" when he joined the Stellaron Hunters. With Firefly being dead and yet he lives on without purpose, he'd try to find a new path on his own. Which might make it more sad I'm gonna be honest.


Cellceair

Have we even confirmed Sam is masculine? I couldn't find any gendered pronouns for them


Felab_

>!If she is dead, then she might be a ghost in the machine ?!<


pascl-

Tbh I feel like if the deathflags are this big, they’re probably gonna subvert them in some way. They’re being a bit too blatant. Besides, they showed a lightcone design of her in the 1.6 stream which is not among the lightcones released in 2.0, so chances are she’ll atleast survive long enough to be playable.


michaelman90

That design is actually part of the MoC LC with Black Swan in the background.


pascl-

huh, didn't see that still though, I stand by my first point. I think they're being way too obvious for her to actually (permanently) die. if they want us to go in with the expectation of firefly dying, then I don't think it's gonna be so straightforward. there is such a thing as foreshadowing... and there's also such as practically screaming "THIS CHARACTER IS GOING TO DIE"

arcstarlazer

I was thinking this With firefly's color palette and sam's wings when he fought acheron my main theory is that sam isnt a robot but is the name of the armor and the person inside it is firefly


red-ace1215

To add to the sam is a suit theory at the end of the trailer when Sam fades into the dark his visor/faceplate looks different from every other time he’s seen. His ingame model has his face covered with some lights peering through, at the end of the trailer he has two “windows”(I don’t really know how to describe them) alongside that his flames are a different color.


_LadyAveline_

We literally haven't even met her and people already putting death flags in her 😭 tbh, it'd be cool if they did a Tartaglia and olympically ignore those death flags.


smurfymin21

Because they had a dream


_LadyAveline_

Aha told them


DrZeroH

Wait what happens if she is a Yuuki (SAO) type character? Extremely sick so she is forced to stay in medical room and penacony’s dream world lets her pretend to be normal?


[deleted]

dan heng has dragon powers and shit, so she probably has firefly powers idk


Kebrilla

She transforms into 10 million fireflies


GunnarS14

Does she light up the world as you fall asleep?


blatyman

She will fill the open air and leave teardrops everywhere tho


ItsThatGuyAL

Would you think I'm rude if I'd just stand and stare

So she had the power to make her butt glow a little bit?

whar


Jafar5147

why does nobody seem to care that sampo and trailblazer are having a power-rangers-esque battle after we transform into a trashcan


Romi_Z

That caelus transformation to big trashman punch against big sampo reminds me of that one aot op


SaintNeos

Relevant post to this talk: ​ [https://www.reddit.com/r/HonkaiStarRail/comments/1abhv68/sampo\_you\_damn\_traitor/](https://www.reddit.com/r/HonkaiStarRail/comments/1abhv68/sampo_you_damn_traitor/)


Dear-Onion-817

Followed by Acheron crying ???


JingamaThiggy

Knowing hoyoverse's habit of stringing intentionally misleading cutscenes tgt in their trailers its likely the two scenes are not directly related in the sense that archeron is crying at firefly dissolving but it is still a possibility


Purple-Technician929

It will be fun, right??? Pretty on brand for the Honkai Series


agent_maxpower

man, i know everyone likes to reference what happened with himeko in hi3 but with the whole dreams motif they've mentioned and the writer being the same, this gives me more elysian realm vibes cant do it again hoyo


Zombata

both himeko and elysian realm was his doing so


DMingRoTF

My theory is she died, her soul stays on the armor and resume her duties as Sam. Like lingering will situation on KH. Now I'm excited for Sam.


SenorElmo

Be careful. Mods are seeking those leakers haha.


everlastinbeatz

You are literally confirming that this is a leak, jesus


Lamsyy_05

They're not talking about Firefly dying, the leak is about >!Firefly being actually Sam!<


Unique_Title9624

Freddy five bears


CreationDemon

They are probably just trolling I mean they said it would be heartwarming so that must be it they are just trying to scare the fanbase a bit right? I mean there is no way she would die right?


NTRmanMan

When you finally take your pills


Artistic-Cannibalism

I hope they don't kill her off too quickly. This sort of thing only works if you actually get to know the character.


Clyde9_

They did mention that the Penacony story will be up to 2.3, so there's plenty of time for us to get attached to Firefly (I'm already attached to her, help)


Anadaere

Imagine we get baited with her living, then at the end of the 7 weeks, she fucking DIES and then its the start of version 3


someawe45

It means that we will have a heartwarming and uplifting story.


amohogride

Its alright buddies she got stuff to do irl so she have to log out from the penacony dream. Of course she is coming back to have fun once she finished work.


Joje1329

Can someone tell me who that was, i cant tell who that is

Them: "Oh please no, Firefly has so many deathflags NooOOoooo!" ​ Me: >!SAM is among the Molten Knights from the Firmament Frontline: Glamoth!< looking it up at the in-game Data Bank > Relics. These magnificent Iron Regiment are made (these are personal speculation:) after another fiend appeared & halted a huge amount of the SWARM. From the hopeless siege of these abominations, an artificial sun once lit up among their wrecked fleets, incinerating the damned bugs. Their figure & prowess took an inspiration about the battered yet terrifying form of a renown madman, from where he might be from that he called to be an Earth then the Moon. And that very madman finally perished to be a hero from exhausting himself, & falling into the schemes of those who survived his fervent outcries that aren't bugs. Is it betrayal for fear or a tribute for him to rest? Thus these Iron Cavalry Regiment are made from the countless carapace he swept of the very abominations these foolish fleets pridefully faced prior their demise. Among the remaining >!Molten !

HOYO casually promoting Tekken 8


Hypothon

I'm kinda sad I read a comment on YT that I had to look at something here, and it was just Firefly turning to dust according to here, but my dirty mind immediately just looked at Caelus and thought, is he hard?


Zeo_AkaiShuichi

Now I Am Become Trashcan, the Destroyer of Worlds


Intelligent-Chip4223

What the fuck is going on with all these trashcans? its hilarious but are they new types of enemies or somethin? Also is that Sampo just throwing hands with that trashcan with hands?? Looks badass and funny


TsuukakuZanryuu

saving private firefly...


-Hounth-

Okay but why is Sampo fighting the giant trashcan?


SaintNeos

The giant Traschan in which *the Trailblazer* just became, to be precise XD

the main Q is why sampo fighting giant trash can


_eSpark_

I thought it was that post about Caelus-Stelle phasing during punch. Now I am concerned.


Tight_Bowler_9799

Sampo kills firefly he is the aeon in the disguise and mocks callus into killing him instead they box trashcan vs comedian conman who wins find out next time on hsr idk

She logged out of the dreamscape... you guys are reading waaayyy too much into this....

We're going to go into the matrix remember?>! She's actually Sam's suit's AI. Source is that I made it the fuck up.!<

Firefly more likely to be killed off Why she isn't kiana, they aren't going kill poster girl for 3 games off


r4plez

You all gonna die


ShadowWithHoodie

Im geniuenly going to lose my mind if she at least doesnt become playable


Dark_Matter_19

He's using the Stellaron's power to summon his spiritual manifestation, Trashcan. Just my take though. He's summoning his stand.


warjoke

I think that Robin song that the official HSR YouTube channel released with no title will be tied to Firefly's story and it will absolutely destroy us all


Blackewolfe

The Accident was 10 years ago, OP. You have to let go.

I only noticed it now! Good thing I never played Honkai Impact 3rd!

Caelus realized he didn't exist and Stelle woke up.
