if it isnt obvious, im so Normal about phainon/trailblazer and this quest solidifies it even more

we don't just say "i love you" instead we say "...the composition of our existences may be fundamentally different, but the "heart" that beats within us both burns with the same heat." + "you only exist in my heart."

"dear partner" in the seal event i think got turned into -> "dear fellow" instead and according to JP text version of this, the trailblazer has a nickname for phainon which translates into -> "phai-chan" or "snowy" instead of that "fellow" in EN version

then next one is this:

this here: "希望有朝一日,我們能在星宿的見證下重聚.… 到時候,我們再擺一席遲到的慶功宴吧." -> Hope that one day, we can come together again under the witness of the stars.... And when that time comes, let's have a belated victory feast.

EN loc removed the word "witness" and "come together again" for some reason and i know it's not that big of a deal and some might say it's still the same but i still find it icky.

and now lastly, some cn player pointed out in the interview that this is supposed to be the trailblazer and the EN version is this:

yet the actual cn text is this -> "可是他喊我伙伴: 主播一表人才" -> "But he called me partner: The host is exceptionally handsome and talented."

the EN version remove the word "handsome" and the trailblazer's user is once again highlighted the word "partner" but they remove it. you cannot convince me that the EN hsr localization team is pushing some agenda and they're okay translating phainon's other relationships but they draw the line when it comes to Trailblazer?

just reached 3.3 and ofc i got the letter but i have a nitpick about phainon's letter. so here's the en loc of this letter:

now i will provide the original cn letter version of this bc i really can't with en localization keep butchering phainon/trailblazer's aibou/partner dynamic

"to my partner, comrade, and unnamed guest from beyond the skies—the hero in my heart."

it's pretty clear here in cn that phainon only addressed the trailblazer in the letter preview. idek why the en loc made it as if he's addressing to multiple people lmao. another one is the part in the letter "The only good thing I had done in this life was choosing to trust you, and becoming friends with you all" -> the last part should be "and making you my partner" instead of like that. that's only my nitpick and yea i hope they don't butcher 3.4 but knowing the en loc, they will 🥱

someone tries to argue with me about my posts lmao i'm just here happily indulging the CANON lore, not some delusional ass takes + a pinch of projection wwwww

why am i still seeing debates about whether the lads men are virgins or not and braindead takes about them sleeping around before mc like bruh.... the game just laid out the canon facts in front of you and all you need to do is digest and have critical thinking skills but no, i still see some horrible mischaracterizations

also, i think this is not wildly known to others since most of us are pretty new when it comes to chinese otome games so i guess i'll share this knowledge based from cn girlies who told me about it, usually in cn otome it's not that uncommon for the male love interests to be virgins since it's not that frowned upon in the chinese culture (i don't know how many times the cn people or other ppl who plays and have knowledge about cn otome tell this to others) and they will never ever tell the men have previous experiences other than you/mc

idgaf if you call me puritan or some shit, hc whatever the hell you want but don't throw it around like it's a fact since we have enough mischaracterizations already because half of the fandom don't even read the game (some of them even admit it.....)

pro-tip: learn to differentiate what's headcanon and what's really canon.
