[Honkai: Star Rail] Costume implications

Posted under Tags

Something related I'd been considering for a while is whether, regardless of what the primary tag is, at least having copyright-qualified aliases for characters like Bronya Zaychik and Bronya Rand would be helpful to people less familiar with the conyright(s). (I.e., have Bronya (Honkai: Star Rail) and Bronya (Honkai Impact: 3rd) as aliases.)

I do occasionally see Seele (Honkai: Star Rail) mistagged as Seele Vollerei, though I think most of the fault on that is that it's not uncommon for the source posts to be tagged that way.

(Edited to remove a part where I quoted / responded to stuff that was edited out of another post while I was posting.)

I removed that part of my forum post since I ended up conflating an actual autocomplete conflict with other characters' tag names where it's mostly just a nod about breaking precedent with our rule but doesn't have any actual impact otherwise. That first part is going to need a larger discussion if you're serious about it because you'd probably need to consider games beyond just miHoYo.

Fair. I've removed that part of my post also.

BUR #60433 has been approved by @evazion.

create implication flame_reaver_of_the_deepest_dark -> phainon_(honkai:_star_rail)

Floating a potentially controversial BUR.

By this point in the game's life cycle, 3.1 is more than a year old. This is old news and is no longer a spoiler, and the character himself is just Phainon-from-the-first-bad-end-timeline like any other timelooping copyright character ( Akemi Homura (Magical Girl), Amane Suzuha (Beta), etc). Plus, Kevin Kaslana (Diabolic), the character he's sorta based on, already implicates Kevin Kaslana.

I don't really see any reason to keep Flame Reaver unimplicated anymore.

I'll upvote it on the premise that he's unmasked in his final battle and we have art showcasing this (e.g. post #11393719).

Kevin Kaslana (Diabolic) is more akin to the Phainon (Khaslana) (Honkai: Star Rail) implication where it's more readily apparent that it's the same person in a different form. Flame Reaver of the Deepest Dark is not apparent while the hood is still on. That being said though, some of the earliest unmasked art of them already has Phainon (Honkai: Star Rail) so I'd even argue that preventing the implication for spoiler reasons or keeping them distinct doesn't even do much since artists already depicted them as the same (post #8812962 is currently the oldest post on the tag at the time of writing). It's an open secret.
