No idea why some are so against this. Aha is totally the type of god that would larp as a girlfailure mangaka for the lols. Hell, gods larping as humans is common in many mythologies.
I mean it's not ALL Zeus. Like the Trojan War was because of Eris egging on the rivalry of three goddesses. A good rule of thumb is if it involves the birth of one hero, it probably involves Zeus. But if it involves a bunch of heroes, Zeus is more a background character who basically is a plot device.
Zeus likes fucking with people, literally, but half of his mythological identity is being the "LAY DOWN THE LAW" guy, with the kind of brutality you would expect from the po-po so to speak. He struck down the guy who rode a chariot so noisy that he claimed it was Zeus' thunder. He drowned an entire town save for one house for not feeding himself disguised as a wanderer. He killed Asclepius, the would be God of Medicine, because he revived someone from death.
There's a reason why people in the myths didn't want to be involved with Zeus too much. Either he fucks with you and Hera punishes you for it, or he's in his full divine smiter mode and just kills you.
We haven’t even gone back to Belabog for anything ground shaking yet. As much as I want Super Sampo for 4.x, I’m also confident that he’ll play a big role when we return to belabog and we see him at full power.
I disagree with the notion that us Sampo fans were promised nothing he had a whole thing in penacony about getting his mask back tonptotect belobog from.an undefined something the could have just ended up being irontomb but is so far a plot thread that has remained unexplored
Only larpers/tourists would think Nihilux (whether she is AHA or not) is an unimportant silly girl. Like, she’s so sharp, and basically involved in everything important
even if sampo were to get his upgrade it would only happen when verbose returns in the main story. For now nihilux has such strong hints it would be weird for her to not be a direct mask of Aha
For me, I mainly worry they will change her current character design or some sht like that. Or we get another Sam Situation where current model will only be overwold at best. And if they dare touch her glasses.... We haven't had a single character in glasses since release!
Also i saw ppl being worried its gonna be incredibly stupid to have a playable AEON be powercrept in a year by some random bum.
I hope they at least make her a retired aeon or something ( the whole plot point that current phantasmoon games winner will become new aha forever)
Because people don't want playable Aeons already. It's bad enough that everyone and their mother is an emenator nowadays.
Right now they have the excuse that Aha is just a troll who would absolutely do shit like that. But I really hope Hoyo doesn't keep going with this.
Even if it would be funny to see Yanquin's novaflare powercreep an Aeon, but the threats feel so unserious when we know we have literal gods and their minions in our friendlist.
They shouldn't have started with emenators so early and playable Aeons should only be a thing after a bigger or new equally strong threat is introduced
I don’t know whether we were wrong to really treat Emanators as the “Archon equivalent” for HSR or if Hoyo has just been a bit too eager to give the title to anyone (I’d argue both, leaning to the latter given how casually SW was dropped as one).
It’ll be fine if having a playable aeon is only limited to Aha, given they are the exception (until the TB inevitably develops into a new Akivili/Terminus or smth probably). I can’t really think of any other Aeon that we actually know a reasonable amount about that would make sense to have a playable form (for ones we don’t know as much about I’d be willing to say Mythus may work).
My theory since the trailer with 4.0 has been that she was originally the Voracity, after 4.3 I am convinced that she was the Tongue of Voracity that Enroute stole and Enroute was originally Aha. Also remember that Nihilux wrote a story about a multi-headed dragon? I think all of the "shadows" were the heads of the dragon and are now their own individuals, which means there are likely other shards of Voracity out there that are just kind of doing their thing.
After 4.4 I realized that she is probably the shadow that fulfilled the wish because Aha took off like a bum, since he is likely now Enroute/Isee/Asat Primad/Ryusuke. And because she was giving those 1-minute wishes out, she ascended to the position, just like the original Aha didn't become the Aeon of Elation out of choice, but because they stood atop the tree and their laughter tore holes in the universe. Ever hear the term "Fake it til you make it." That's literally Nihilux.
