>>41758379Someone asked for Elira recommendations in the Lazu split a few months ago so I'll just repost what I told them along with some changes to make it more relevant to now!
I would go back and watch the Xenoblade VODs, especially of the 3rd game, if you can handle long story based games. It's one of if not her most favorite game of all time now and getting through the end with her was a great experience. It's a big time-sink compared to a lot of other series, though. I also recommend her AI: The Somnium Files & AI: The Somnium Files - nirvanA Initiative playthroughs, it's like those games were made for her and the goofiness of the games and character interactions made for a perfect Elira experience in my opinion. Her Slime Rancher 1 & 2 streams are perfect for when you want to just watch a cute girl do cute things. The slimes are cute, her reactions are cute, they're very laid back and not story-heavy at all, either. She also played DMC5 and she absolutely loved it, and for someone who's not much of a "gamer," she did pretty well, I think that might also be a good series for someone new to her. There's also a few streams that people seem to always recommend, so I'll share her goofiness a little bit, too:
>Pressing the Stanley Parable baby minigame button for 8 hours (Pomu and Finana both appear in the middle)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=14UerIOvZKM>8 hours of cookie clicker (Pomu appears in the middle)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZX_Gc_NN0D4They're a bit on the older side and she's gotten more natural and open since then, so just keep that in mind if you watch them.
>Pressing the Pomu button for 8 hourshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0kkGu7yIi98The Halloween drinking stream with Finana from last year is a must-watch for all NijiEN newcomers, in my opinion. It was the first time she really let loose. If you haven't seen it before, I recommend it!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tvtFiLBbItc She also did a Fall Guys drinking stream where she was a menace and came unhinged, it was great.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J7wYHWTWFFkShe did another 2 Halloween drinking streams this year, one with Pomu and another with her good and old friend Maia, who she's collabed with only once before this. It wasn't as chaotic as the one with Finana because her alcohol tolerance has increased but it was a lot of fun.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BHqK51GjeiIIf you're a Pokemon fan, she loves Pokemon and her playthroughs of Brilliant Diamond and Legends:Arceus were a lot of fun. Her current playthrough of Pokemon Violet has also been really nice, she's really enjoyed herself and it's always fun to see her meet new Pokemon.
Going back to earlier streams, her Hades endurance streams were very fun and I'd recommend them as well, they're just pretty old.
Her Resident Evil 2 (remake) playthrough was also pretty good.
Her Zelda BOTW streams were also pretty fun and just consisted of her mostly goofing off.
She also played Outlast, which she had promised to play for 500k subs over a year ago, and finished it in one stream, which was fun! She's not usually very good with horror games but she handled it really well.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HZ1tSjDDZO8Her Omori series was also fun with how she got so into the character dynamics and was (along with Xenoblade Chronicles 3) one of the only times she's cried to a game on stream, but that kind of game isn't for everyone.
Ib is her most favorite game of all time and the game she fell in love with as a child so I recommend her streams of that and it's remake
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RUrsfad9zpEhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QuSA-1GNHYMSimilar to that, being an RPGmaker game, I would also recommend her To the Moon stream, if you enjoy those kinds of games.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9kJ-NXjJmkwYou may also want to check out her Peggle and Bloons streams because she was just so goofy and silly during them and they were so, so fun! Her Plants vs Zombies stream later today might also end up being like that!
She's also an amazing singer, so I 100% recommend any karaoke VODs of hers, if you're into singing at all.
Elira has played a lot of different games of various genres as one-offs or short series as well, so I would also recommend just doing a quick scroll through her VODs to see if there's anything in particular that might catch your eye that I haven't mentioned. Sorry that the recommendations are kind of messy and all over the place, I always have a really, really tough time recommending Elira streams because I enjoy all of them so, so much and she has the ability to, at least in my eyes, make any game or streaming idea entertaining. She really has a special kind of natural charisma and charm and she's so, so wonderful. I genuinely hope that you continue to enjoy her streams, she's a unique and quirky girl, unironically, and always finds ways to make every stream fun.
I had to chop this down a bit to meet the 5k character limit!
