Hey I kinda needspecifics for certain things involving ZZZ,like Hollows,Money , City design ,Cars, Ether and etc,in lore not game mechanics. I don't actually play the game, mostly cause I honestly have no way too and other stuff so please don't hate me for that.
First thing I want to know is,how do Hollows look consistently? Inside and outside, from what in getting,they actually look normal at times ,you'd honestly be unable to tell people are in a hollow,the sky is visible and you can't actually see the Hollow dome,I think event the sun shines in a Hollow, clouds are visible and stuff. Of course most have floating and destroyed buildings and debris ,but that seems like a Bigger Hollow thing and not a Companion Hollow thing ,idk if they also have warped stuff as well, and if the Hollow shifting is something you visually can see . Also I wonder do most Hollows actually have a visible black or purple barrier or edge inside you can see and think you can reach ? How would you describe the colours of a Hollow.
I want to also know how fissures work ,from cutscenes they seem like they work two ways ,like a bubbling black portal almost or a square like wall that sometimes is visible before you pass through,they seem invisible for the most part ,you'd only see one after randomly running into one and they can shift around also they can teleport you to a different location in the Hollow,not just out of one ,how do normal proxies figure out which is the right one? Also one more thing ,Ether can cause idk what to call this.. rectangular or similar looking black crystals with green parts ,they grow outside and inside a Hollow? and do certain Hollows cause debris to float even outside the Hollow? like around it?
Ethereals form from Hollows,most aren't corrupted people right ? Can they go out a Hollow? I'm confused at times cause due to a Hollow looking like they're outside,I can't tell if they can only be in one ,most come in various shapes and sizes,they also look like animals or even float. How you describe their head's? and that orb ? In their heads. Seems like you can also just knock them out or kill them with hits ,but when they are destroyed do they shatter or turn to purple mist ? Clearing a Companion Hollow or taking out the big Ethereal in one causes a Hollow to collapse right ?
I realised I asked so much about Hollows I might not have time to ask everything...
I'll hope someone's up to read all this.
Anyway, when it comes to Ether ,you can feel it in the air ? it affects your lungs right? Having high Ether-aptitude seems to just let you walk around casually in one and sit around,most people do need meds though to go into a Hollow with high Ether-activity ,others wear hear , tho Hollows raiders don't seem to wear practical looking gear or gear that looks like it covers everything unlike Pubsec officers.
Do normal proxies go into Hollows with Raiders and their Bangboo? I imagine not every proxy gives their Bangboo to a raider and hopes they bring it back while they wait at their work space or outside the Hollow. Do Belle and Wise have high Ether-aptitude? And do normal people usually cannot communicate in the Hollow with comms or any communication device to the outside,is it the same inside? Does most technologically work fine in a Hollow? And are all Bangboo capable of Hollow navigation or are they all built to do different jobs?
There's both Denny coins and bills but they prefer to use coins ? How do you tell the value of a Denny coin? and do they have a star on both sides ?
Seems like the vehicles in the world are pretty normal but are from the 60's ,or just mostly the 1900's they look normal but idk boxy and some are futuristic but only the vehicles for the rich or companies. Phones also seem normal from what I can tell ,tho is there a normal internet as the Inter-Knot seems like a proxy commission space or a place Hollow Raiders find commissions to do and people post commissions,it might have a normal internet thing of being able to comment or have threads but I'm not sure.
How big is New Eridu? Is it bigger than real world cities ,I feel like it's gotta be at times ,it feels like certain areas would be town sized but maybe I'm making it look bigger. Do the buildings look normal ? what cities does each area resemble? If you a stranger was put into New Eridu, would you be able to tell it's a different world if only looking at cars , buildings,devices and sign's.
ZZZ is a Chinese game and uses China kanji or scripts right? I can't tell if it's mixed with anything or if it's normal Chinese ,it seems like there's English as well,some places just have English letters and some scripts, or both ,but I'm not sure ,like Belobog and H.A.N.D. Seems to use English letter's on their vehicles. Would you assume in lore they speak English or a language close to Chinese but they use English as well?
Thirens for the most part are few in lore right? And most struggle with clothing and have certain animal traits affect them like Ellen ?Most have simply animal ears but stop here like Miyabi , and others have a tail like Ju fufu ,they don't have claws right ? just tech to simulate a missing animal feature? Do most have animal ears and human ears? What exactly is Vivian and more recent characters,Velina ,they have elf ears and Vivian also has cat eyes ,idk why people hate when she is called a vampire,cause honestly you'd have to really look to see her bird theme or her being a Banshee but her character is more a yandere Lolita vampire ,like come on guys ,Hugo is assumed to be a vampire even if he is lying possibly,tho I do wonder...do most normal terms and stuff exist in New Eridu?
Most tech runs on Ether? I saw that vehicles are fuelled by Ether,same with the city and everything else but also that there's still old fuel if you can't afford it ,is electrically powered by Ether as well?
This also brings me to W-engines ,do the sound waves in them manipulate the Ether in the air that does exist even outside a Hollow,or the one inside people's bodies as I've seen Vidoes suggest To Yi Xuan is manipulating her own positive Ether which is why it glows like that ,but also uses her w-engine to manipulate the Ether around her which is why her bird or other attacks are black with cold . It seems like Ether comes in any colour ,red,blue , green, purple,gold ,etc.
Most w-engines can Ether into elements like lightning,ice ,fire and...isn't that it? But in lore it seems more common to just make Ether into a slash of energy or blasts,I think they boost characters physical strength and speed,most aren't visible or are in a person's weapon specifically as far as I can tell. Astra can use her idk weapon Mic to sing and manipulate Ether directly herself, also confirming, is the stuff we see like shapes and ice or fire physically there ? For Astra is her music notes of Ether able visually there ?
Also does Vivian actually have thrusters in lore under her skirt that suddenly appear ? What's a game visual and actually in the lore ?
Finally,how strong is the people in ZZZ? many just are superhuman but by how much ? They can dodge bullets which also seems normal , there's normal guns it seems , though that's reaction speed ,travel speed is tricky ,it don't think most can run faster than a car or destroy a building,or at least one blow , can they survive being hit through buildings? I feel like the limit for characters,like Void Hunters is Multi city block and hyper sonic or massively hyper Sonic in reaction. Durability is iffy.
