If BSAM is to be taken as it is
If voyager or their creation is indeed the second who came, their fight caused enka to sink
Yeah because rebellion led to humans wielding powers of creation which was sole domain of PO
Shouldnt have just been creation
That is only naberius’s domain
I mean finale artifact just says so 
Golden city got destroyed because of angels sharing such knowledge with humans and them creating fae spirit
Xiuhcoatl capstone project turns teyvat into a star but shades reform teyvat almost immediately
All of teyvat went kaboom and vaporised for a few moments before reset
Imo the fae could also threaten his logic
Not just creation
The frustration of humanity with Celestia has always been about self determination
Could be
Abyss has shown that capacity
Voyager should have also been able to bestow and alter history
Or the fae the same
Khanneriah did something similar now that I think about it
Gold creating new life form using abyss powers
Which triggered cataclysm
Creation is just one plane
It was just one of several transgressions
Irminsul or PO himself were attacked directly
Cataclysm began when the foundations of teyvat were shaken
Imo the sign of aposha was Surtologi’s doing
Opening a domain strait into the true sky / abyss
Perhaps looking at teyvat as a stage play hosted by the PO and the Cataclysm as a coup attempt to steal theatre production privileges for their own could offer some answer
Hmm could be
After all, the shades stress on being “casted” into their jobs rather than created or any other synonum
Stories and allegories could capture real and faux histories
A shared name condemns its bearers to the same fate
Similar fate not the same
Also within the presence of a descender that fate starts changing
What i understood from fontaine quest was that the fate could not change
So current story with the presence of traveler means fate is not set in stone anymore
No matter how traveller tried , fontaine was destined to be sunk
That is what i understand from Nicole’s advise
Yeah but he still changed the outcome remember without traveler not just fontiane but entire teyvat was doomed
Rene mentions teyvat is headed into doom after its samsara ends
Yes
And that changed because traveler
No
It is still due
We havent reached that point in the story
Tsaritsa and Sibling plots should be the key players determining it
Nope rene end of cycle mentions the whale destroying everything that's why no new cycles happen
Which traveler changed by stopping the whale
Oh
Mb
I forgot that is ??? You were mentioning
Mavuika’s secret was that natlan would eventually succumb to the abyss
But with capitano sacrificing himself that is never happening
Hmmm
Hu tao was also fated to “die” but traveller saved her
Wait
I think the secret to “hidden corners where god’s gaze does not fall” is somewhere here
Tbh mav secret in the teaser was the deal with ronova
Which was explain to us later part of story by mav herself
It's mostly inteyvat I think probably you know the place where those special flower bloom which lumine uses
Was it ?
Is it a secret if citlali knew about it ?
That's also where new khanerriah will be established imo
Probably I don't remember much about citlali though
Although the secret was definitely the deal that was made by xbal with ronova and then by successive archons with mav being final one
Every archon automatically got memories of the previous too
Yeah
Yes
I think I understand why Mare Jivari is the site of New Khaenriah
Sibling can finally have “wind” blow there
A wind of their own where istaroth’s “gaze” doesnt fall
New Khaenriahan: Mother,what is outside the border of this realm
When are we told that?
Ei doesnt have memories of Makoto's plan, and Nahida constantly has to speculate on the actions of Rukkha
Neuvilette got dragon memories, but that's likely due to being a direct reincarnation and/or something with the authorities
i'm pretty sure they meant the pyro archons?
from context of the conversation about xbalanque's plan with ronova
although i could barely understand what was happening for the natlan quests so idk if that's still untrue or not
i know mavuika has memories from her previous life as pyro archon
Still don't recall hearing about anything automatic there tbh (but then again, low investment in Natlan's plot keeps me from being sure if I missed it or not lol)
yeah exactly lol
i'll go skim the wiki
When a new Pyro Archon ascends to the divine throne, their "inner flame" will awaken, and the Sacred Flame grants them significant knowledge and memory of the land.
i see this
and remember this
so maybe that's where it's coming from?
Pyro archon*
Ah, so specifically Sacred Flame shenanigans
ye
guys, did i miss something while im away?
why is collei is student in the akademiya now
she decided to pursue a higher education so she can get an actual job instead of being a forest ranger which doens't pay shit
when was that
why i keep getting gaslighted by ppl today
apparently in the ancedot event
some new event?
she is teaching her junior
oh i haven't touched that
girl has juniors??
i absolutly hate how that event is set up
just fucking let me click them on the event page and go to the character im not gonna fucking look for them on the map
i mean its just a 30s look
on the map
like there is their icon on the map u just need to scroll it
ye ik
it's been an ongoing thing
mostly in events but
kaveh's hangout has a mention of her completing stage 1 and going onto picking darshans
i don't actually remember which event exactly but iirc each event she's appeared in if her future pursuit is mentioned her acedemics are
oh faruzan's hangout has mention too i think
she takes faruzan's course
shes mentioned in faruzan's hangout?
she begins faruzan's hangout
she was there

i done it bruh
the faruzan hangout
shit ass memory cant remember 3 years old content
Collei should’ve gotten a hangout 😠
true tho
fr
i have an alt that hasn't been through inazuma im gonna do aqs in it to catch up before nod krai/snez 
unfortunately yeah
it's to cut down on the spam/scams and trolls who might join the server just to send inappropriate images and such in every channel
if you talk for like a day or two you should be high enough level to send images lol
so i'm piloting my friend's account right now and i'm doing old quests. i was so sure they have never ever used dragonheirs on the inazuma quests since i played it when it came out. it has always been vishaps. did they update some terminologies?
No
It was always dragonheirs
Dragon hairs
There was flip flop between the two but the term was always there since inazuma
is the 5.7 quest expected to be relevant for the 5.8 summer event?
or for ineffa's SQ?
The 5.8 summer event is an archon quest (not just a temporary event), so most likely yeah.
It'd be funny if she was after stating how she hates humanity and gods
darn i was hoping to wait until dain was voiced
and why are they making the summer event only run until August 18th?!
Checking Honeyhunter it says "Reach Adventure Rank 18, and complete the Archon Quest “Song of the Dragon and Freedom.” (Complete the Archon Quest “Incandescent Ode of Resurrection” to get the best experience from this event.)"
Yeah, usually they have the summer event last all patch
But maybe because the area is permanent that they changed it and made it short?
so maybe it's separate from the storyline of the 5.7 quest
I don't like it either
Maybe
Though are you sure that wasn't the requirements for the quick start?
Usually those only require you to finish the mondstadt quests and maybe one other quest
the quickstart is venti's quest
but it says to complete only the main natlain archon quest for best expeirience
not the 5.7 quest
but the "The Journey Home" archon quest does want the 5.7 quest
and that's probably gonna be the one that you have to complete during ineffa's banner to get her material and the bonuses
The materials used to construct Ineffa hail from all over Teyvat, but somehow, they work together perfectly.
"That sounds just like Nod-Krai," said Aino. "Huh, maybe you were fated to come here all along!"

I mean,it is still a real vision.
i finally finished the natlan AQ. mavuika doesnt seems to be that bad like whaat ppl says??
capitano is goated as heck tho
Bad as in evil or bad as in bad characterization + motives?
i see lots of ppl says shes bad in terms of characterisation
like her personality is lbland
i think its okay for me
also i caught up with all the AQ

what in the angst pro max
Ahh okay
I remember when people were saying she was going to be a twist villain and thought you meant that lol
oh lol
Which, speaking of, I wonder how shit all the people who made videos suggesting phainon was going to be evil feel about how amphoreus ended 
I hope they feel terrible
my lore enthusiasts
today i do not bring lore
but i bring good leaked news
||Nilou stons are rising||
||the Era of dendro is back||
||Nahida never left||
and i still dont have her despite many reruns
5050 is so ass

i have her and i have c2 nahida that now ||will also work for lunar bloom so im happy||
im gonna go for the new dendro lady cause she enables some nice stuff
i also heard ||old characers are getting buff. both kit wise, and models||

that, im happy
and the leaks say Aino is ||hydro claymore that is a mini columbina so she should enable all lunar reactions||
albedo my boy is getting what he deserved
Idec about that first part, I want the second 
ye we dont have any details on it but it's been confirmed by multiple leakers some that are very credible
and considering hsr and zzz done it already im inclined to believe it
So here's to hoping
albedo and diluc deserve everything
that plus the leaks that traveler is gaining ||lunar reactions|| makes me thing it's real
i can confortably say, diluc is not gonna get touched
Alfredo might
Ye this makes sense for Aino
weird that her kit aint leaked yet
who knows
just lemme cope
we have Flins and Lauma's kits

genshin really should do more skins
zzz is going ham with them
and damn are they fuckign good
i caved and got yuzuha's skin
And the fact they haven't done a 5* skin since diluc like 3 years ago 😔
Idk if it was just bad sales or something but if they wanted a good test run it probably shouldn't have been a standard 5* (but man, does he look awesome with the skin and I'm glad he got one regardless)
Also black fire 
It looks badass
fire could be darker tbf
im a bit too excited for next patch and the whole 6.0 i cannot sleep 
in the meantime, im going to charge welkin moon for the first time in a year cuz durin
shes 4 star right?
idk wtf leakers are on they were hyping the fuck out of her that she was the mini colombina
but she's literally
||keqing skill, xinqiu burst, minor lunar reaction buff behind c6, no access to lunar reactions herself||
yes she's 4* and suposedly free like kachina
but she doens't fucking ||trigger lunar reactions herself so like wtf||
Weird way to spell HSR lmao
(Tho they could frankly use actually good skins too)
She has access to lunar reactions doesnt she
Is that confirmed
We should know tomorrow
Ik we do
But the kit is poorly translated and we have no gameplay of her
We will see tomorrow
Aino way am giving up hope yet
I don't trust them to make good 4* anyway

Kachina was good
Iansan and Ifa are top tier
Lynette is eh
Collei is good with cons
Lynette is fine
As is Ororon
And Chevreuse says hi
Aino passive talent isn't leaked yet
Kachina wasn't good the artifact set was
she is good
she was an upgrade to navia teams
good crystal gen
And this is also the way aino will probably go
Because she can use the set
@onyx fossil punch him for me
the world quest is great
i still gotta do the twins one 
the what one
the one with the spaceship talk
previous aq

oki
The Travelers are still not voiced in the 5.7 AQ 
is it a map area or a domain
Punished
It's not event quest? So no timegate then?
yeah no time gate
Nice
Im gonna focus on fully explore each quest area before arriving to another area
Asha puzzle is kinda confusing but I'm getting used to it
its simple
the text makes it more than it actually is
lemme check the pyro sigil shope
shop*
Some puzzle doesn't have text which is annoying
Another thing is I didn't sleep last night so I might not be able to use my brain to it fullest
I think it is super obvious to complete on our own
Same
Hmm... ||Let me guess, it's related to the Columbina Statues, isn't it? We got Lunar-Charged and Lunar Bloom in leaks, but three sections of the map are opening up in Nod-Krai out of a maximum of seven, so I'm not sure what would be the third Lunar reaction will be in 6.0...||
No clue
Lunar Superconduct
We will know in 6.1 beta
What's funny about Aino and Ineffa is that Aino was limited to 5-6 Krumkake (I think it's how much sugar you consume per day) and she was trying to force Ineffa to give her one more Krumkake, at first, Ineffa refused to give Aino more, but eventually crumbles, signaling that most of AI are too agreeing to what you want
Also, one thing funny and ironic at the same time between them is that while Ineffa herself uses electro, her creator is using hydro, similar to how AI is using lots of water to operate
so s/he’s dead?
spoilers from ineffa quest
||im sorry am I understanding this right?? the dragon sovereigns were AI? as in neuvillette before his reincarnation? and like apep and whatever||
Nah
Thing is Genshin’s lore terminology in EN overlapped with this one
||“Dragon Sovereign Rulers”refers to the likes of Kuhul Ajaw||
Yeah
Phlogiston is a unit of memory for computation as well
Sovereign were lazy so they made AI to takes their job
It’s joever
shades having hi tech since 1.0:
||the domain sky in ineffa's quest is interesting tho||
ik, but the way it is depicted is like in a sci fi setting instead
||"authorising administrator 1,2,3" type shit||
fontaine is more like steampunk
natlan just looks wild but with some machinery
then u got the entire dragon tech
hibernation chamber and spaceship
if u tell the me of 3 years ago, i wouldnt believe the word spaceship will be heard within genshin dialogues. its sounds weird
we went from ruin guards, which still look kinda okay to|| fully automated dragon AI that can destroy the entire nation||
That robot ain't destroying nation though
The outside world doesn't have those Phlogiston wall for it to control
||im refering to the sovereign ruler at their prime||
||the 11th ruler sounds powerful at her prime, ykyk||

but i havent play the quest in the old natlan whatever they call it
so maybe my info on the sovereigns are inaccurate
I agree that they sound powerful because they can control those strong machine but yeah,not enough to destroy nation
i just know they exist in the AQ today
i want to clear the world quests but i have work tmr
10 hrs on genshin for 2 days straight is going too far

i mean space ships were always suspected with alice being able to journey across the firmament to earth
you mean the whole world ?
suspected. not mentioned
yea
we had a space travelling whale so
ye that thing is by magic not technology. its very different ahh
cant wait for genshin cast to meet hsr in 2-3 more years
maybe 4 idk
All magic on teyvat is still tech
Depends on your lens

another similar argument can be said about a certain new ZZZ character
Which is largely sci-fi based
Teyvat is definitely more sci fi than Magic
Sus
All magic we see is imo just alchemy
Who
Yuzuha !
?
Nah
Alice ?
The white haired tall lady with skinny ass arms
😭
She has stuff that looks like straight up magic
The strongest magic on teyvat accomplished (so far via Albedo, and other inventors sorcerers is just alchemy )

Who
Give name
This is the first i even hear of her
The most you hear about her is the sfx hoyo gave her stockings as her thigh brush into each other in her alternate skin
I would say that zzz science make more sense than genshin
Zzz science can be explain irl genshin not rlly
If u can explain the logic of vision, elemental energy, or how weapons by the characters magically disappear into their sub space to work irl then I would buy that genshin system is more science than magic
The only thing that is magical in zzz is ether energy. But even that is explained as the equivalent of nuclear energy in the real world
Zzz dev go out of their way to explain how each other the characters weapons work. Genshin weapons and physics function on hope and prayer
Yixuan magic is just magnetic field manipulation
It’s just physics in the nutshell. The body has magnetic force irl. In zzz terms, simplified, she trains her body so that the ether particles within her body reacts to the ether particles. How did that happen? Cuz the characters themselves has ether within themselves naturally. When someone have high ether aptitude or they train it like yixuan case, they can make the ether within their body react extensively with the ether particles in the air. U can concentrate the ethers into a big ball of energy then boom
1 other character who can do this is Astra. Since ether reacts to sound waves, Astra sings which amplify the reaction she can make between the ether within her body and the air. So thats how she can form ether energy ball out of thin air just like Yixuan.
The 3rd and final character who can do this so far is the MCs. The ocular implant in their eyes and brain has the function just do stuff such as reversing ether corruption. Thats why in S2, MC trains under Yixuan cuz shes one other person who has expertise on how to do it the proper way so MC has fully control how that actually works. Astra case is “I’m a genius so I just wing it and it works”
Never forget nibelung created the three moons spontaneously out of the earth and left
Teyvat’s science is its own thing


For the detail of this with actual irl physics and chemistry involved, i gotta link it to ashikai explaining it cuz even my brain implode trying to understand 
It’s essentially sci-fi based powers ‘dressed up’ as magic
Sus

Less “sense” and more
‘Can be more easily defined with our irl logic/fucntions’ id say
It’s a pseudo science fantasy akin to even HSR
But spontaneous weapon spawn really tends to be more “a game gimmick” than anything that’s openly acknowledged or explained atp
But then again even ZZZ characters occasionally do the same essentially so

also
||Xilonen kinda cheap putting Ineffa to work asap||

traveller being voiced was weird
so i need someone to explain this quest to me
specifically the climax
nvm ineffa explains it
Do spoiler mark these tho 
New quest just released yesterday
Tbf it was already in the trailer

aight
U can conveniently delete those unmarked screenshot if u can
And/or special program
Then u will meet someone like me who haven’t been watching those things for 2 yrs 
Or worse, only engage in ingame content

But then how will you form crack theories with us??
To be safe just spoiler marked new content, even if it’s alr in trailer
they should still get to do that with their limited input tbh
2 weeks later then I won’t hunt y’all down 

I enjoyed this quest
Short and to the point
Unlike the event quest which is meandering about here and there
Anyone let Bennett win here? I don't so I want to know what change
guys, I need some help about 5.7 story quest and the keys. Here is my understanding about the timeline:
(I’m using Lumine, so lets call her key Key A, and Aether’s Key B)
They come to Teyvat on their ship. Aether wake up and lost some memory, became Khaenriah’s Savior. He has his Key B on him. (1)
Direidyth meet Aether and give him Key X. This make Aether have 2 Keys (B + X), and he decided to find Lumine instead of saving Khaenriah. The country is destroyed. (2)
Aether found Lumine hibernating, Key A is with her. They try to run away from Teyvat, but got separated by Unknown God / Asmoday. (3)
Aether wake up again, and he should have 2 Keys (B + X), and founded his Abyss Order. (4)
500 years later, Lumine fished up Paimon and they start the journey finding Aether. She meet Direidyth with a Key. Lumine think this is Aether’s Key B, since Key A is on her hand. (5)
At the end of the quest, when Lumine and Aether met each other (6):
• If Lumine give her Key A to Direidyth -> Key X at (2) was actually Key A. Lumine has no key, Direidyth has Key A, while Key B is still on Aether.
• If Lumine didn’t give her key to Direidyth -> Aether give his key to Direidyth -> Lumine still has Key A.
Does my understanding correct? If it does, my question is, where exactly in the timeline is (6)? Which key did Aether give to Direidyth? I may have missed something along the way.
hmmmm this is not how i understand it apparently
again, this is how i understand it so similar to u, it may be inaccurate. but they already got trapped by amosday before khaeriah dying and got separated
when abyss sibling found traveller, they cannot wake up. causing them to leave their siblings who cant wake up at all.
then 500 years later, the traveller finally wake up from the chamber
the key things is accurate tho. there simultanously exist 3 keys at the same time due to time paradox causing the leyline in the past briefly appear in the future
There is no paradox
Shades cannot cause or use paradoxes
Thats the neat rule of Hp they cant disobey
to my understanding. the fact that there is 3 keys at the same time is a paradox itself. cuz its not supposed to happen. i dont measure it on the case of whether the shade is causing it or not
Wait
Aashikai video for this is excellent
She explains how one key is a trick of Asmoday or Istaroth
but ig in genshin case, i cant really use the phrase cuz its a term for another thing
What thing
the paradox is mentioned by capitano is a pitch against ronova
using the terms paradox makes ppl misunderstand that its somemthing related to shade
Capitano still has immortality but is in the leylines
so thats why i say that i should not use the term in this situation. even if it is actually a paradox itself in general context
It is
Actually
Paradoxes are higher level problems that only shades could solve
Use paradox when it poses a contradiction to Teyvat’s laws
so that raise a question, does the reconstration of khaeriah leylines from the past, using the loom of fate break the rules itself?
abyss silbing did mention something something abt istaroth playing a trick on them when the twins meet again
also dont forget that, the abyss sibllings is counted as part of teyvat inhabitants somehow
i mean, aside from the awful character design and inazuma pro max storyline that natlan has, the lore drop is actually pretty good
also, the region is beautiful
i really like the old natlan city
It is pretty cool looking at Celestia from the new summer island
Also it look too close to not be a bait
Imagine Tsarista preparing her attack , thinking she destroyed Celestia but it was a fake 
What’s that gotta do with your name color tho?
We don’t seem to have a Natlan exclusive role, just lore team for color coding
I know
I’m referring to KO’s question, which I assume had to do with ur name coloring without much context
The what-now?
the blue name person who i was chatting with abt shades
i think KO is asking the person why is their name "natlan apology form in 6.0"
Oh wow
Bruh legit made their name into that
So-so on it (like most things they and I discuss anyways
), but that’s just me
same
i used to think natlan is a slop until i see the region and heard stuff abt world quest
but otherwise, i have my dislike for its main content
I think even the early (and overall) Natlan MSQ was fine and largely among the most cohesive genshin narratives
But it felt like it sacrificed more substantial characterization for anyone that wasn’t Capitano (and hilariously enough freaking Mualani and Kachina of all people in the first two acts) for my liking.
-# they should’ve made Capitano join the fight against Gosoythoth tho
to me natlan is just ur generic shounen plot in anime
even tho the presentation is much better
it has similarity in its boss fight to inazuma
thats why i call it inazuma pro max
my humble opinion think that even inazuma plot has better premise despite its shitty presentation
It being shonen pilled was among my favorite aspects of it
And had much better build up than Inazuma’s climax (but that bar isn’t high anyways)
yes thats true
im still salty on inazuma. natlan presentation in story is all inazuma needs to be good
Kinich or Xilonen for that much of a lasting impression
Heck, I was a total Chasca hater when I first saw her (still kinda am but I’ve chilled since) but even they checked out her role not too badly at all
i need something deeper, hence
i rlly like sumeru and fontaine for its massive plot twist and mind game
natlan plot is very very generic shounen
Most of the Natlan characters I do like quite a bit ironically shined better for me after the Gosoythoth battle
see: Citlali (but tbh she was alright even in the mainline story)
citlali is quite annoying to me. her design adds more hate i have for her
oh this is true
If anything they should’ve went harder with it
Esp when trying to characterize Mavuika. Make her more Goku adjacent (no not fandom Goku, but manga accurate Goku).
thats still generic shounen the way u describe it tho. i just want mind games and political overthrown
Personal hot take:
- Natlan: Good story, terrible presentation
- Fontaine: Terrible story, fantastic presentation

natlan is very friendship is magic type shit
everyone is so united
its scratching against my itch

thats my personal take on natlan
i want some betrayal stuff to happen man
oh well, everyone has their own opinion yknow
but we can all collectively agree that inazuma AQ is a wasted potential
Inazuma AQ to me feels like a manga with a 10/10 premise and first few chapters that got axed before it had time to actually do anything with them 
I mean Dragonball literally ‘defined’ Shonen as we know it today. So it checks out. And that’s fine imo.
I’m more down for a change of pace. I know most people will point towards Furina when comparing her to Mavuika. But me? I say DONT give me the same character arc structure. Don’t retread that much. In fact. Make Mavuika’s obstinacy and headstrongness more of a clearly defined double edge sword. Especially if you factor in her concern for what will come generations after her with the crap she’s seen at that point.
oh no u misunderstand
"Nice, I've set the stakes, hyped up the characters, and built a whole world for this narrative to stretch across with so many different factions. Let's do this 😎"
"Yeah, about that... you have 5 chapters to wrap this up"
i have nothing against mavuika as i literally stated in this chat a few days ago that why ppl says her personality is bland even tho i dont rlly see that
Inazuma having 5 acts would’ve really helped its case better
But they still stuck with 3 then sadly
so i totally agree with ur take on mavuika
Granted just note I still haven’t even played her SQ 
however, im refering to natlan AQ plot not being something i enjoy consuming as a story
Kachina should’ve been the protagonist of Natlan tbh
They didn’t make her a Sacred Hero cuz they knew she’d be too strong
no one has ever been their own protagonist within the story of hoyo yknow
every arc is different character focus
arc 1 is kachina, arc 2 is someone i forgot. at some point its muluani
then iansan, the chasca, then capitano

its the same thing with sumeru yknow
Iansan not getting her own damn hangout with 5-6 endings
or just any hoyo main story
Heresay
Mondstat: great introduction overall and entry point for the game’s story and mythos. Didn’t overstay its welcome. But its main problem is lack of revisiting it enough until now. (Amirite Dornman Port)
Liyue: technically my least favorite with some good ideas, but went too straightforward with them. Would’ve appreciated more locals like Keqing and Ningguang being a bit more present. But I begrudgingly like it more in hindsight.
Inazuma: Good ideas but way too little time and fleshing out to execute them more meaningfully (esp with Visions, Signora’s death, and IMO Irminsul should’ve been name dropped here first). Most of what I like about Inazuma is post MSQ stuff. But the version as a whole gave me a much better impression of Inazuma compared to any other region so far.
Sumeru: Rebounded and found its proper rhythm for the first real af time. And still has hype highs that hit me personally more than anything. (Namely Scaramouche)
Fontaine: Great presentation, and the most meaningful story and character beats to date. Biggest surprise being Navia herself. But its middle acts 3-4 are sussy with how much Meropide actually wound up being relevant beyond Childe’s whereabouts. Felt like an after thought.
Natlan: only other thing I feel like I can add is flesh out the rest of the Sacred Heroes that aren’t Chasca, Mualani, and Ororon
Thinking about how messed up it is that Signora doesn’t even have any world quest stories that at least make her background relevant besides CW or her boss drops….
Yea
Abyss bets to break rules
Oh me ?
Liyue: I feel like this one pulled off the spectacle (seriously... when are we getting cutscenes on that scale again?), but I really wish they had given us the opportunity to learn more about Liyue's history before just going "welp, big fight now"
Fontaine: My main complaints here are just a lack of Traveler agency (we don't really do anything, we're just kind of there) and 99% of the story being completely unrelated to the main plot of the game. I feel like adding some of the dragon lore or the Sinner lore (it's implied one of them did the prophecy) that we learn in Natlan here might've helped tie the whole "giving the Sovereign its power back/giving Celestia the middle finger" bit more impact. I also don't particularly like that the only main story bits we get are in the info dump at the end. We really should be learning more about broader world stuff dynamically through the story instead of a text info dump at the end.
Natlan: The gap between Natlan's premise (warrior tribes at the end of their rope against an ever growing Abyss) and the visuals/tone of 90% of it (happy hot spa chilling and breakdancing in villages without so much as a fence). This sort of visual/narrative clash is everywhere in Natlan 😔
Also sidenote: Another reason Fontaine bugs me is it's the exact moment Genshin stopped caring about making sure you've done prerequisite quests before introducing lore bits into the main story.
They knew nobody could or would play fontaine otherwise
Also
It assumes you've done Nahida's SQ2 and Scara's Interlude while requiring neither
I am going back and forth between traveller’s descender status these days
Do they really change fate or do they help in changing its fruition
Skirk SQ being set right after the fontaine aq as well
"Unless she loves her new master more than her own self."
So
Does this mean Asmoday might be willing to essentially sacrifice herself for her new master?
Since if she's a shadow of the HP, if the HP dies, then she dies too?
So for her to go against the HP means being willing to die in the process? 🤔
I disagree with Traveler having a noticeable lack of “agency” in Fontaine. Hell, I’ll even argue that Fontaine’s presentation of it is actually the strongest examples of it compared to any region before or after (besides arguably Inazuma ironically enough). We see this in multiple instances how much their thoughts are their own as well as their decisions in both handling Navia’s propositions, choosing to defend Lyney & Lynette in court, and almost even attempting to sway Furina into leaking out her secret (despite it being Lyney’s plan, Traveler’s input was crucial here in making use of his special “outsider/exemption” status) etc,. Acts 3-4 were perhaps the sections of the story I felt they were most… ‘passive’ from what I recall.
I actually rather have more of an issue with how weirdly 4.x tried to integrate Sinner mythos into the overarching story in ways that didn’t feel natural enough (like how tf did Traveler just casually come to the conclusion that Vedrfolnir was responsible for the prophecy tablets found in act 5 in Bedtime Story??).
If anything I feel that Traveler’s Descender status wasn’t incorporated well enough this time around as Neuvillette just nabbed him into the Narwhal fight at a what seems moment’s notice. Especially when it was later we found out his constitution was similar to that of the gnoses by extension of the 3rd descender. Or in other words, Traveler’s ‘position’ didn’t feel particularly unique in the grander scheme of things. Part of which is kinda the intention, but at least capitalize on it for the Narwhal and Skirk encounter more for better payoff to recurring themes.
Yeah the story order mapping is kinda ass in these spots
Heck
Is playing Wanderer’s story gonna even ‘mandatory’ to play the 6.0 AQ I wonder?

And it’s not even just his
You can also just forgo the Chasm interlude quest too
When they shouldn’t be treated equally at all (tho IMO both should be required stories to advance main story anyway)
Mavuika please give Traveler the gnosis, 100% it gonna resonate with Traveler and drop lore nuke
Idts
They are their own entity
PO is lucifer
Asmoday is asmodeus and her own entity
Why would it resonate ?
Oh well
It would be the first gnosis we hold wouldnt it be
Because almost everything resonate with Traveler
Taking a bath in phlogiston and Traveler can see the memory or information
Smell weed and suddenly get to irminsul without even trying like those scholar
did that ever happen
Nod Krai pre tc was funny yesterday
Hm
natlan haters saw hoyo's vision for the future and tracked back their criticisms
Why they hating nodkrai
What if
Colombina gets her ass to Natlan
And takes it after 6.x

Greedy
Being the moon AND wanting a gnosis
You should see the kits and nod krai special mechanic of yesterday
It was ….. really really bad to say the least
The kit is alr,those are x.0 character so they won't be relevant for too long just like Lyney,Kinich and Mualani
I don't know much about||the special mechanic aside from it being Fontaine ousia and pneuma but more extreme according to a friend ||
Here’s what it does for Lauma
||So character look cooler for having NodKrai teammate,why is that bad||
Does Ineffa has it
Also seem like I was right about||transformation|| is going to be NodKrai mechanic
Can't wait for Bina and her ||transformation||
this is the kind of region mechanic i like
Uninstalling if Flins doesn’t go Dark SSJ
SSJ ?
so did the ||event quest for bennett|| happen the same time as Sanhaj's gamble ?
also
||Bennett could have chosen to be natlanian but || Da Wei said no for meta balancing
No Baku yet?
I assume Ineffa doesn't||transform|| like the other,but only the puppet(her skill)
Hope we can customize her robot to this
Yeah
We should know in Nod Krai
Or it could be like the other one we saw earlier
Me thinks that the last 5.8 WQ opens only after this event ends
So they're pulling something like how they did the Chasm quest?
What did they do for it
Locked permanent story content behind the event timer (so you had to wait a week-ish to actually finish the AQ)
Once it was all unlocked, you could do it all at once, but it was super annoying lol
Yeah could be
Today we got the final two event quests
But the Enjou and Citlali portion is nowhere to be found
We might get it on sunday
Is that why I haven't seen anything about the bakunawa yet?
Outside of the Livestream
Yeah
Its either on sunday or wednesday
You would understand when you play today’s final set of story quests
So it seems that the Nod Krai quest model is interweaving character quests with main plot quests
They already said so in dev talk we're just seeing the live implementation
Although I don't see the better animation thing that one leak talked about that's the only one disappointment for me 
everytime I see bakunawa I think of that cat
Am I the only one who wanted to see Ajaw interact with Ineffa's sovereign side in the archon quest inside the domain cuz it'd be interesting to see two sovereigns (forgot what they're called) interact
He seem to be avoiding her
Yeah
Maybe out of fear of shame
He is a prideful arrogant little shit
i need to begin recording all references and info to the fate system in genshin
and its relations to constellations
Neuv character story 5 already mention what role fate and constellation plays you should read that
no, more into how it worked with childe and durin
anyways ty for the tip
ill add it to my references
Ah okay
Thank you
Got it
Thanks
All these years waiting for the first hydro claymore character, who would've thought it'd be an ||adorable little mechanic girl
||
Yeah who’d have thought that we’d get a limited 5* Bennet with both a different weapon and element type amirite
(Potentially 5.8 spoilers since I haven't played the game since updating the game only, but scared if I accidentally touch some content for those who haven't played too)
||Seeing how I saw the Sandrone's regiment disrespecting Capitano in Natlan on X today, I think in the future, r/fatuihq will be a FFA subreddit with how harbingers hate each other||
||FFA?||
||free for all aka fighting against each other||
Dont they already do that
It's just them vs Wanderer mains
I have seen capitano mains beef with arlechinno’s as well
Oh yeah, Capitano too vs other FHQ
It's cracking down
||I dont think it is that deep, all harbinger control their own goons ,also it was them wanting to go to Natlan and Sandrone was just mocking Natlan tech||
Ime capitano fans tend to be rabid
The quest name doesn't match the world quest unfortunately
But hopefully it unlocked after the quest
All of it is grouped under one name iirc
Judging by the patch long exploration primo condition
im bored so feel free to watch me clearing my quest log
citlali quest is vvery good
also very good lore info
very meaningful as well
i like it
follow it up with paralogism/ Skirk quest
man, natlan was pretty much made to be a home for childe and he wasn't able to visit 
LMAO
i just done this lol
its a good quest :)
and it makes citlali awfully tempting when i have durin waiting for me

i cant spam primogems the way i spam polychromes damn it
lol XDXD
we dk how it was in sneznaya
so you're thinking everyone in snezhnaya greets and converses by fighting and sparring?
same 
considering that's what got his parents to send him into the fatui like some sort of boot camp for delinquents iirc
poor guy
unwillingly traumatised
oh well his fate mirrors the great Ajax cuz they share the same name

not that he can avoid it
why his father even name him such and he suffer
protect my man
because it's a cool name
i also want to mention that i appreciate them adding more animations and making characters actually physically interact instead of just putting a hand forward
like before, a character could say "hold my hand" and the traveler would just put their hand out in front and you'd just have to imagine them holding hands for something
but now they're actually doing it numerous times at different angles 
or helping someone and not just kneeling down then standing back up again after doing nothing
that sort of thing
Yeah with beer
Iirc he beat up everyone in his village
Is there any difference between?
Sneznayan Hazing rituals should be pretty wild ngl
Anything to follow her majesty
His father poor fisherman
OH MY GOD
THIS DIALOGUE
"I HAVE MORE SELF CONTROL THAN THAT"
"WHAT DOES SELF CONTROL HAVE TO DO WITH IT??"
beer is usually like... 5% alcohol content, it doesn't really burn the throat
the lowest i've seen a vodka is 20% and can start to burn the throat and looks like water at a glance, which is why i think they're calling it "fire water" ingame lol
whiskey burns the throat without other stuff added in
hmm
didnt know that about vodka
wjere did this come from
yeah but isn't whiskey always a yellow-brown color
the quest with diredeith
or however you spell her name
is it with citlali or paimon ?
this girl
golden
i wouldn't recommend drinking it on its own lol
beer is yellow brown colour
it sucks
yeah
i know but isn't whiskey also
beer can be a range of light yellow to dark brown but i thought whiskey was always a middle color 
nah
whiskey is shades of gold
i don't drink whiskey i've just seen it in cartoons so that's all i'm getting this from tbh
ah okay
yeah, i don't really drink
maybe like 3-4 times a year and that's about it
i ended up impulse buying like 12 small cans of fruity alcohol drinks and they've just spent the last year or so sitting on my counter lol
the most i've used is pale ale for beer battered fish 
homemode budget friendly alcohol maturing 
enticing
wait
it sounds like an english dish
Very cool wings with cool symbol
yeah checks out
but i only make the fish because i'm too lazy for chips once the fish is done
british food sounds weird but tasty as time goes on
is it potato fried in ale ?
nah just twice fried slices of potato
first fry to cook, second fry at a higher temperature to brown them and make them crunchy on the outside
same with the fish
but i have enough dishes to do once i finish the fish, by then i don't feel like adding more and usually just bake some fries i buy from the store lol
plus too much oil 😭
What
We’re going up, up, up. Watch the official lyric video for “Golden” from KPop Demon Hunters. KPop Demon Hunters is now on Netflix.

they made a song for you
ye
I know nothing about the movie aside from the sushi thing
so its doubly fried fish ?
here we steam first before frying
there is no sushi in it
Is it not
yeah
The Twitter gif says otherwise
idk
for a good fry on anything, you'd want to fry at a lower temperature first to cook the meat/veggie inside the batter and get the batter decently cooked, then let it cool and fry it a second time at a higher temperature in order to get that perfectly golden brown crust without overcooking/undercooking the inside while also making the outside super crunchy 
hmm
yeah i get it now
like if you cook at a high temp and only that until it's golden, you risk leaving whatever meat inside raw and undercooked
but if you only cook on a lower temperature, you risk the inside being overcooked and mushy/falling apart or otherwise
so its a delicate balance between both
basically, yeah
what about steaming before frying ?
and it's hell to clean up because of all the oil that pops out of the pot and onto the stove lol
would it turn theinsides to mush ?
air fry works ?
i haven't tried that since i have nothing to use to steam cook stuff LOL
that and idk how liquid batter would fair when steamed
i assume it'd just not puff the way it does when fried
i don't have an air fryer 
no , but would that work in this place for the second fry ?
idk, i don't own an air fryer
oh it would be messy
with steaming you look to have it be absorbed inside
ah
pots seem comfier than pans for this
very considering you want there to be enough for the food to float lol
thats too much oil
i realised we never fried food on that much oil at home
except for frozen stuff
at most it was quarter a pot/ vessel for fried dough or batter donuts (idk how to translate it into en)
you can always reuse oil after frying once you remove impurities like burnt bits of batter
but you want enough for it to float or else it will stick to the bottom
and then you rip your batter off the meat trying to remove it
i'm not saying fill a pot to the brim, just enough to leave a few cm beneath the frying food 
also fried dough is delicious
but also ignores the issues with beer batter
i have two questions entirely unrelated to this, starting with "you're not playing in the united states, right?"
the second being "what does your limited time banner say the consolidated rate is for wishing? is it still saying it's a 1.6% chance?"
Why ?
Arent those just filtered
At the cost of calorie bombing
Oh nvm
You were describing scraping off the heavy bits of batter and meat after frying
Yeah
No
No info is given
oh okay, because the the united states they changed the way the store pages and wishing pages look due to a law that was passed about gambling and showing probabilities and how expensive it would be to guarantee something/a prize
in this case, the game no longer tells you on the wish page that there's a 1.6% chance of getting a character, it tells you there's a 1.1% chance
Asia folks dont have this text dump yet
And this is a good addition
Imo
granted it still says the base probability is 1.6% when you go into the details tab, but only before telling you how capturing radiance works and then saying that the consolidated rate is actually 1.1% instead 
Yeah
it also tells you how much it is per fate when you buy crystals
Thats good
So now people no longer have to lose their irl social life after purchasing C6 Furina
welkin still is the best price for 27c per wish lol
nah they still will, people like that won't care
Ik was just trying to jest 
but i just looked and thought it was weird that, after all these years, we were told the rate to win was 1.6% and then this law makes them show the actual probability and it's 1.1% 
a small difference but i found it interesting
So it proved people right about welkin
oh sorry
it also proved it really was more expensive to buy the more expensive packs
1.6 could have been by murking guarantee
with less per fate
1.1 for the actual chance per fate
Np
it said this
Make sure to blame Cygames as the original source of evil for this 
So its better to buy the same cheap pack numerous times over the larger ones v
not necessarily, since the double gets removed after the first time you purchase it
and then fates are way more expensive per purchase
This is so much clearer than the CN and Asia hypothesis
Oh
anyways, i gotta go see family
The hide and seek quest with ororon and ifa was the most mundane not mundane humour this game has
After that one fatui quest in fontaine
So ||Bakunawa is immortal because of Gold's shenanigans and beyond the understanding of the AO||
man, the true mare jivari is scary
so bennett's mare jivari was abyss twisting the memory of that location ?
potential gold downscale
FINALLY
hey he has been where my favorite places all are
the last one must be the mysterious tower in the Night Kingdom that we access through the portal out in the wild
released in 5.2
Gloharry is the name of a pyro archon
another - Shulevitz
what the heli lauma first phase?
When the snow deer is dendro
I love lauma's general design but also why does she have to look like my sister in her wedding dress
She has like no coverage up top or on the sides 😭
By general I mean the fact she has deer antlers and can turn into a deer centaur I think it's wicked
yeah
her anims make it even more so

Nah
Fr?
She's already like half naked
Ah, automod
She's like a strap away from being naked
yeah
it becomes super apparent in gameplay
they did NOT hold back
damn thats quite an interesting family
@odd thicket is vision made with a soul of the owner
yes
ineffa "vision" story confirms it
the vision frame to be specific
should be
fae also should have antlers judging by louma
Bc someone has to pick up after Shenhe’s legacy

I’m sorry but you gave me the mental image of your sister turning into a deer centaur galloping her way to the wedding reception.

Sus 
Send screenshot
No fr the ‘worst’ I noticed is people making fun of her autos bc of the visual trail it makes
(When you ‘see’ it it’s hard to unsee)
its how her autos make it seem as if shes showing herself (as she should being a diva) and the dress barely hanging on
Ehh
I hardly think it’s that bad
Besides ||not like you’re gonna see her onfield for too long in the teams she’s on|| (leaks)

||moon wheel only applied to non human I believe ,this include Flins||
Let's see what it says for the other 6.0 character
Aino's constellation name is so cute 😭
She’d better watch out for any big bad werewolves
Cuz they’ll die

I think that's more of a problem for whoever her grandmother is 😭
TARTAGLIA STANS WE REJOICE
i still wont believe it until i see it, but ye makes sense he's one of the first released, hopefully venti and klee get something too
IM SO HAPPY
ZL doens't need it unless they want to give him more hp scalings so he can actually fucking do something
I HAVE HIS SIG
mine's using my R3 harp
hes my fav 
i certainly like his combat but man he's such a pain to use
and him being basically a XL slave is so sad
i hope they make him have actual stance changes
if i am to make a tier list of my fav character, hes his own tier
yeah hopefully
