I love Stelle x March so much. I just really hope they don’t ever pull a Genshin and introduce a girlfriend for March like they did with Amber that kills the ship so bad it’s like it never existed.

Unlikely? Whatever relations she may have had pre-freezing are likely either dead or much older than her now

^ the MC ain’t player insert if she is a whole character of her own. Names, personality, drip, hobbies (trash can exploration and trying to defeat the “hotel devil”) and likes. They’re just too unique to be seen as self insert. In that case, we’re just playing the MC’s story. Not ours. And it’s definitely possible because we actually got a taste of playing from someone’s POV when we played from Dan Heng’s perspective in the story, and he just talked less there so the players are given a “choice” in dialogue with little difference in outcome. Unlike Genshin where the protagonist’s personality were a lot more general and Paimon being the personality most of the time.

^^^ Kokosara Truther,
I was one of the people shipping Lumine and Amber so hard that when Eula came out, I denied all possibilities that Eula and Amber could became a ship, despite the obvious hints. In fact, it even came to a point where I was holding onto Yanfei and Eula just because I wanted to ship Lumine and Amber. So I get what you mean. To all Eula Amber shippers out there, your ship is a great one with very good dynamics... but I just want to hold onto my first ship.
But Star Rail is different tho. It could be different because Stelle has so much potential. Caelus as well but I’m going with Stelle because yknow, yuri . Stelle has all the necessary stuff to be a great protagonist that she doesn’t have to be just a “player insert” . She already has great chemistry with the express crew with her own little unique charm (trash cans and all). Especially with March with both of them reacting to each other’s funny dialogues. Well, even if it’s not official, here’s to hoping more STARCH crumbs from the developers!

Most game MC is just a self-insert to other people.
but to me, those "self-insert MC" is just another game character.
Yes, we decide their choice and stuff but, i just can't think of myself as the MC.
Like, for example, i ship MC and Friend A
But i can't ship myself with Friend A
Uhh, Does that make sense?

Stelle (and Caelus, I guess) is an odd case for self-insert protagonists. Way more personality than your average gacha game MC, and... handled oddly by JRPG standards. You do get a fair bit of control over how she interacts with others and her opinions, but the world interactions means that she's always a giant goofball on the inside

^^^ I know that feeling, I just want to ship my main character to characters in the game.
It's just feels like when you create a fanfic with your OC (not self-insert).

I wouldn't say Eula x Amber is a real ship. Not only is there a clear age gap, the game also very clearly shows their relationship being sisterly. If anything based off her teaser and drunken rant at the bar the game ship teases Lumine and Eula. If you look at Lisa/Jean, Dehya/Candace, or Ei/Yae the pairing of Eula/Amber has much more of a family feel.
Stelle x March also have way too much chemistry to be replaced. The only replacement would be Stelle x Asta.

If anything March and Stelle's banter so far is more like a couple dailies life.
It's almost like when you hope stupid lesbians and useless lesbians at the same time fighting for the dorkiest of them all.
