That goat face talks about

does that girl have a stand/susanoo

(funny cuz ive had an idea for a cute petite helpess anime girl with a giant skeleon weilding a scythe behind her OC for quite some years now)

Omg

#

They used an obscure af Hi3 manga character that showed up for one chapter for one of them lmao

wait you read the manga?

very impressive

daring raft

I have friends that do

Damn, hoyo likes their little girls paired with big monstrous creatures and robots

#

Also damn that video was satisfying to watch

#

Especially the flower blooming infinitely

frozen lintel
#

Pretty cool

#

I think the fatui reveal was better tho because we kinda knew a bit beforehand, but these peeps show out of nowhere

#

Also side note it’s funny they’re so edgy about destruction considering they’ve never received nanooks gaze A_CryLaughTao

vivid moon
#

I havent done the event yet

#

But like

#

I read the comments before the video finished

#

And they're SO RIGHT about the Korean and English dubs

#

Cealus' VA does a fantastic job just fucking whining A_WheezeTao

#

And stelle's high pitched screech

#

Just MWAH

#

It's so funny

nimble condor
#

Done the main quest but not the event

daring raft
#

Seeing people call this on the level of Lazzo is lol though

But it it is still very nice tho

frozen lintel
#

Annihilation gang is prob less prominent?

#

I see people hyping them up to be some super evil villains but it’s like

#
  1. Not even acknowledged by nanook
  2. Aeons just absolutely dwarf them and could arguably be considered way more evil by their sheer “oops just killed half of galactic civilization”

Something interesting I figured out from the trailer is when Duke Inferno talks to Caterina he mentions "Shatter the Preservation's sanctum, and melt their gold to create a statue of our savior." All while showcasing something akin to a safe's gate, that reminded me of that one leaked picture of Sampo and Black Swan looking at Sparkle sleep on top of a bunch of gold, I am wondering if that is the very same place they mention here, the Preservation's sanctum

That's a Lovecraftian god

Yes thats what i meant

Who could have thought that a place like this could exist amidst the vast, scintillating heavens:
The people here have closed their eyes, but none are asleep even with the striking of midnight.
In the splendor of this city, things of material value are little more than dirt.

Looking at imaginary kinda makes me sad

Genshin hydro situation

analog pollen
#

why so

vivid moon
#

Only one of them is a 4*

#

All the rest are limited 5* with only one standard

#

And I guess one mc but just like fontaine that's timegated behind updates

analog pollen
#

oh you meant it like that

#

naruhodo

#

back when i was active hydro was like the least supported one so i wasnt sure what you meant

But XQ’s value is pretty high as a 4*

oh wait i just noticed

#

guess acheron isnt the raiden expy?

#

unless raiden expy got scrapped and fused into her ig

daring raft

Some people argue she’s a Seele reference now lol

how does that work

daring raft

Cuz of her name

And Seele’s scythe in Hi3 ig

analog pollen

oh she has a scythe?

daring raft

Yeah it’s called that

i meant

i didnt know what weapon she used

# daring raft Hey ya got Barbara too

Yeah but at the beginning of the game, all we had was xingqiu and Barbara, then we had Mona, Childe, then got kokomi, and nilou before Candace iirc kekw

Ah thank you, it was yelan

And ayato

#

the list doubled since i left lol

vivid moon

So we had two 4* hydros and 5-6 5* hydros by the time we got another 4*

And even now we have 3x as many 5* as we do 4* for it kekw

using the elevator in the seclusion zone has made me realize just how fucking close the herta space station is to that "distant" planet and just how fucking small the planet is because you can physically see it move in the backround through the window 😭

#

i love the atmosphere and how creepy it is at how empty these corridors are

#

and the darkness

#

like there's no people

#

no monsters

nothing really

i hate that i was right about the weird floating cloud being an invisible enemy 😭

i walked up close and it didn't do anything so i started walking past it and suddenly it attacked

Who do you like design wise?

@analog pollen @vivid moon

#

I love everything about Black Swan except her design. Her design just feels like pajamas KEK

#

Sparkle is love tho

vivid moon
#

Yee

lament bramble
#

Firefly looks like the generic manwha character that gets killed off to start the MC's path of vengeance

vivid moon
#

I like black swan's veil and her color scheme, that's about it

#

She looks like a female version of that one grey haired mc with black and green as his color scheme

lament bramble
#

Acheron looks literally indistinguishable from Seele in that art

vivid moon
#

Tbf she's turned around

lament bramble
#

yee

vivid moon
#

All you see is hair and umbrella

lament bramble
#

not the most fair judgement. But in that art, it's 100% Seele KEK

vivid moon
#

LOL

lament bramble
#

Robin looks like she was ripped straight out of a martial arts cultivation manhua KEK

vivid moon
#

Does she

#

I was getting more anime set in the american 1920s vibes

lament bramble
# vivid moon Does she

Yee, she feels like the super talented/famous beauty cultivator they through at the MC after he's received his powerup so he can turn them down with his newfound talent and put them in their place KEK

#

tho her facial features are a little gentler, so she'd probably end up a love interest rather than have the "self-inflicted path to ruin" route

# vivid moon Who is boccano

It’s an anime based off a light novel series. It has one of its major early arcs take place in early 20th century USA.

#

Which is also covered by the anime

vivid moon

It’s also really good, esp the dub. The VAs even go for Yorker accents like you would hear in the Sopranos lol.

You did? A_smolhutao maybe i forgor.
I do remember only asking for Argenti and Gepard tho.

vivid moon
#

Regardless of other choices

daring raft
#

Oh so Gepard’s your favorite among all in general

vivid moon
#

Yeah, he's responsible, kinda nerdy, and has a very cute personality

daring raft

It’s gotta be Blade for me

river badger
#

Should be, yes

daring raft
#

😭

#

/hj

vivid moon
#

They even have them in the same game

#

And not another game to make it an expy lol

#

Seele's gonna have multiple versions of herself like bronya does in hi3

daring raft
#

Bronya already has a better version of herself

#

In Silver Wolf

river badger
#

Well, she seems to be inspired on Seele's weapon of her same name, so they probably wanted to make them look similar on purpose

daring raft
#

It’s just funny how people gets mixed in whether she’s more Seele or Raiden lmao

vivid moon
#

Maybe

#

^

vivid moon
#

They merge into mega seelemei

river badger
#

Leaks from long ago said we'll have a Raiden expy that's Lightning/Hunt, so unless that got scrapped, she should be the expy instead of Acheron

daring raft
#

Honestly

river badger
#

I don't even see her looking too much like Raiden

daring raft
#

I want the plot twist to be

#

She was never even actually meant to be a Raiden expy at all

#

Or Seele reference

#

She was meant to be a total OC

#

But they unconsciously referenced both

#

Kinda like how people thought Galo from Promare was just straight up inspired of Kamina from Gurren Lagann

lament bramble
#

Easiest way to tell is she didnt get the shared VA 👀

daring raft
#

But the directors themselves went

#

“Wait what no”

lament bramble
#

She got Allegra Clark, not Anne Yatco

daring raft
#

Cuz she has Raiden’s JP voice iirc

#

But not in CN…?

#

Lemme check

Do you have a list of all the men

do y'all have any husbandos

maiden escarp
#

Yes C_HuPepeSmile

analog pollen

river badger
#

I don't have husbandos because I don't swing that way, but Jing Yuan is a character I can respect, he just got that calm and confident aura and is nice but can dish a good roasting on enemies when needed

vivid moon
#

Gepard

analog pollen
#

you like him that much?

#

damn

river badger
#

Well, he knows how to keep you safe and that's a desirable quality, good choice

vivid moon
#

And isn't borderline insane like argenti or going and feeling like he could be keeping all sorts of secrets from you like jing Yuan

#

Plus he's a family man, he cares a lot about those close to him

analog pollen
#

ah

#

i didnt mean just from hsr

#

just in general

vivid moon
#

Oh

#

Honestly probably still gepard from recent memory

#

I remember when I was younger and had a crush on one character from fairy tail I forgot the name of 😭

#

But he wouldn't probably be husbando

frozen lintel

BRUH

i cant believe they did that

also i love the aesthetic to penacony

wait im confused

#

is this an event or main story

vivid moon
#

idk

daring raft
#

Main

vivid moon
#

but it's about penacony

#

god i hope it's main

#

that'd be so fucking funny

analog pollen
#

so youre telling me

vivid moon
#

we started with belebog

analog pollen
#

trash can people are canon to the main story

#

._.

vivid moon
#

continued with penacony

#

yes

daring raft
#

It is. They just slapped on some cutscenes from the MSQ for sure.

analog pollen
#

i am

#

multiple levels of confused

#

tell me how this all works when it releases pls

daring raft
#

AFAIK

analog pollen
#

yes but

#

whats the lore

#

how does it fit in

#

also what does ct. stand for btw

daring raft
#

analog pollen
#

oh

ive never seen it shortened like that

daring raft
analog pollen
#

oh hes next

#

nice

#

is he from the same faction as topaz?

daring raft
#

Ye

analog pollen
#

so we got a faction of people named after gems

#

in a game about space

#

that has to be intentional right

vivid moon
#

"Go ahead, use me as you wish-" oh boy, they knew what they were doing when they wrote that A_WheezeTao

vivid moon
frozen lintel
#

a weird fake story interlaced with some actual plot involvement

analog pollen
#

fake in what way

frozen lintel
#

Uhhh like

#

hard to put it lemme think

#

Like you know the whole theme is about dreams vs reality

#

somehow it's entirely run by a trash king deity?

#

Also the voice at the end asks "what kind of nonsense is this" as if the whole premise makes no sense

#

plus the cinematic of just a bunch of trash can dudes running around is just mega goofy

#

But then like themes of the "great freeze" and something infesting the dreamscape does make sense

lament bramble
#

In before the cutscenes with the trash cans are just the actual in-game cutscenes with people replaced by trash cans W_HuLurking

lament bramble
#

Like, instead of a field of trash cans with legs running, it's a group of rebels or whatnot

daring raft
frozen lintel
#

Dreamscapes are always a cool story premise

#

hopefully execution is a bit better paced than Xianzhou at least

#

Plus a lot of the cinematics look like to be in the Belobog area, and somehow sampo is gigantic and throwing big bombs in a dreamscape? Seems like an illusion created by the Trailblazers mind if anything

daring raft
analog pollen
#

5star sampo when

river badger
#

You know what?

#

I'll skip Sparkle

#

I'll skip Acheron

#

Where's the Trash Can King banner at?!

analog pollen
#

I didnt even catch the itachi one

Probably because the vibes are very different, Sampo doesn't look like he's dying

I'm excited for Aventurine to be released for one reason 🤣🤣:

For those who don't know, Sang YuZe (Neuvi/DrRatio CN VA) is a HUGE fan of Yang ChaoRan (Alhaitham/Aventurine CN VA)

They're friends irl and few days before Neuvi released, SYZ streamed Genshin and wouldn't stop-

-mentioning/talking about YCR 🤣🤣 And he also C6 Alhaitham just for YCR. I forgot if he had R5 the sig weapon or not tho

||Oh, I watched the video once and didn't notice the goldfish transition, good eye. Oh Sparkle you little jester, you~||

frozen lintel
#

I swear Aha’s followers are batshit insane

vivid moon
#

Wait, does anyone else think maybe the last we see of tingyun was ||someone like sparkle? Since she seems to disappear with that mask and tingyun kinda just dissipated into dust like sparkle does in that idle||

#

I didn't think of that until now 😭

#

As fucking cope that it is

river badger
#

But wasn't her just Phantylia?

vivid moon
#

We don't actually know, do we?

#

Like they said phantylia could have been manipulating her, but why did she just suddenly poof into dust and float away

nimble condor
#

Hoyo already gave us the funeral and we have yet to find the body

#

So who knows

river badger
#

Well, Phantylia is a Heliobus, and if we go by the Huohuo and Tail event, they can do impersonations and change forms, so it was most likely that

#

Now where the original Tingyun is, nobody knows

daring raft
#

Thinking otherwise is just cope in itself A_WheezeTao

#

Ironically enough

river badger
#

I actually think she's pretty much gone, like they gave closure to all that part of the story with the funeral, it was just done, they're moving to other world now and don't think they'll force old characters back on the new plot

nimble condor
daring raft
#

Pretty doubtful tbh. It’s legit slapped three times in a row to the player’s face that her actual status is a subplot that will be revisited back in the Xianzhou. All that to just say: “yeah she was just dead this whole time lol”?

daring raft
#

“Signora’s alive!”
vs
“Tingyun is dead no cap!”

#

Even if Tingyun is dead anyway it’s just gonna be lame if they scrap whatever they were foreshadowing since even Phantyllia’s tactics in using Tingyun didn’t make total sense/add up even to Welt and Fu Xuan especially. There’s def sth more to it.

river badger
river badger
daring raft
#

The transition was there to give the player an idea of certain populations’ notions of death and passing give their way of life there (for better/worse or effective/not)

#

Rather. Revisiting the subplot in a future quest esp given how ‘consistent’ the Namless are in not revisiting an old planet back would be more worthwhile down the road bc they apparently intend that to be the case from current story evidence/unanswered questions.

river badger
#

But isn't she MIA/presumed dead literally to everyone? except for the other people is something recent but it happened since before, when Phantylia started to impersonate her

daring raft
#

I don’t follow your first point. We’re talking about Tingyun’s fate primarily.

Welt says the following as you said.

#

But regardless of if she’s alive or not, it’s not going to defeat the purpose of anything in the Xianzhou finale primarily bc none of the major cast are fully subscribed to the idea in the first place and acknowledge a real possibility since they don’t have a trace of her so far. It might as well be brought up once Phantyllia is relevant again.

#

If she’s alive: “ok but why and how? What’s been going on with her in the meantime?”

If she’s dead: “Damn. But really what happened and what significance are the writers going to give that when that news kicks in for real?”

river badger
#

So it could be really either of them, there's no "she's obviously alive," if they got a good enough reason for her to be alive then sure, they could do it, but everything points to the opposite to me with the information we got so far

daring raft
#

It is what it is.
But there’s simply little room for denting that it’s very likely to be a revisited plot point by the end of the day with how openly acknowledged it’s been (if the writers know what they’re doing by then).

river badger
#

The only thing that really makes me think they won't is that the Xianzhou story is basically over now, I doubt they'll return to that planet other than for some side content, the way we returned to Belobog for Topaz and the Pokémon Tourney

daring raft
#

We’ll see. We’ve already done just that recently and had heliobi play a notable role for side content. HSR’s handling of overarching plots are potentially more flexible than Genshin’s, and we def haven’t seen the last of Phantyllia either
(And who knows where she put Tingyun to start with since we don’t have any evidence that even her body is at least in the Xianzhou).

#

if only they could do cinematic shots like that in the actual game

#

oh they showed the whales again

#

with himeko

#

i wonder what that means

#

ALSO WAIT

#

holup

#

official trailer where they use the male lead for promotion instead of female

#

so do we just not have a canon gender in this then

lament bramble
analog pollen
#

do they

#

all the post-release trailers ive seen other than this one were female lead

lament bramble
#

1.4 had Caelus

analog pollen
#

weird

#

all the genshin trailers are aether right

vivid moon
#

Yes

#

As the mc

#

But promo art flip flops

daring raft
#

It make sense tbh

analog pollen
#

(you could say this is another point in favor of this game being made to compete with fgo)

daring raft
#

Bc for TB their gender just flat out doesn’t matter

#

For Traveler the roles are more fixed because the Abyss Sibling exists

#

So they pick one for promo materials out of consistency I’m sure

vivid moon
#

Yeah

lament bramble
#

I know I'm definitely slapping it into as many as I can

nimble condor
#

HSR really do have the poggest of videos

vivid moon
nimble condor
#

all i want

#

is to see fucking sam and acheron go at eachother

#

cause god damn that's gonna be cool

#

also first

#

Sam is 100% Kalpas ya can't convince me otherwise

#

second

#

why is sam's fire red on his boss fight but blue green when going towards acheron

lament bramble
nimble condor
#

ikr

#

like i kinda wanna go for hanabi cause she will be good with almost all dps, but damn do i have the urge to save all i can for acheron she's just so cool

lament bramble
#

Hanabi = Sparkle iirc, yeah?

nimble condor
#

ye

#

i refuse to call her sparkle

#

idk why they localized her name

lament bramble
#

Yee, I'm going for her. I love her design W_HuLurking

nimble condor
#

i would but i need to garantee Acheron

#

imma go for her on her rerun probably

lament bramble
#

Hoping she has more of a sinister playful vibe than just a playful one

nimble condor
#

i mean did you not see the theories with sampo being controled by her or being an ilusion made by her in some way

#

cause sampo has the red eyes and the goldfish in the trailer

lament bramble
#

Her animations all give off a nice "sneaky plans" vibe to em 👀

nimble condor
#

gives me absolute gremlin vibes

lament bramble
#

For me, it's "Kafka meets Hu Tao" kinda vibes

nimble condor
#

kinda ye

lament bramble
#

Will have to wait and see

#

Either way, I hear she's great for Seele so I'm set gameplay-wise too KEK

#

Love me my Seele hypercarry teams

nimble condor
#

Hanabi is bronya but also giving you more skill points to work with

#

so yes she's absolutely busted for any skillpoint intensive dps

#

dragon man and QQ will love her

lament bramble
#

Mono Quantum is a way of life

nimble condor
#

once i get her on her rerun i really need to build my qq

lament bramble
#

I already have QQ pretty built, but might look at her again ahead of her banner

#

Had kinda sidelined her cause she was too skill point needy

frozen lintel
#

You guys saw the storyboard thing?

#

Like the timeline

#

Why doesn’t genshin have that

#

Genuinely don’t get it

#

Kinda genius decision

nimble condor
#

why doens't genshin have X that they have implemented on their other games

daring raft
#

@analog pollen

nimble condor
#

i dont remember it having

daring raft
#

In any case you know what to drop into the currently ongoing survey

#

@vivid moon @lament bramble @nimble condor

frozen lintel
#

Like they’re trolling at this point

daring raft
#

Rationally speaking I doubt it is

#

Different dev teams could mean different philosophies and priorities

#

Genshin’s just been implementing their own stuff miste consistently since mid Sumeru

#

But the gear kicked in pretty late past a two year mark

#

It is what it is

lament bramble
frozen lintel
daring raft
#

not too hard

I don’t jack about Genshin’s coding

lament bramble
#

At that point, Genshin's writers sorta said "fuck you" to any sort of clear order of events KEK

daring raft
#

So I’ll refrain from that

lament bramble
#

Still salty about it

frozen lintel
#

But they could use the UI framework from the hangout events

#

Which pretty much looks like it

#

Also I’d argue artifact load outs would be easy to implement too, it’s literally just like copying and pasting the team load outs and just make it artifacts instead

daring raft
#

Perhaps. We’ll have to wait and see in incoming dev notes if it’s being worked on

#

But wcyd

frozen lintel
#

Like they can occur anytime in the story

#

Whereas hsr has like a clear chronological order of story quests

lament bramble
#

Yee, the ordering I went with was essentially "unlock order, unless specifically stated to have occured otherwise in-game"

nimble condor
#

consider this

#

both games are made in unity

lament bramble
#

Worked just fine until the end of Sumeru when they just started including shit that broke that model HuTaoPepeHands

nimble condor
#

as such all assets should be easy to paste into the other game

#

so they have little excuse

frozen lintel
nimble condor
#

especially when you can clearly see most menus are clearly so similar they use the same code

frozen lintel
#

Recently it’s been better?

lament bramble
#

Recently it's been worse sobpuddle

frozen lintel
#

But still like there’s no mainline story significance or connection to the other plots

nimble condor
#

genshin just gave up with it's story

#

but hsr also has problems

frozen lintel
#

So they all feel like filler patches with no payoff

nimble condor
#

to begin with the lore of hsr is also a hyperbolean bs

#

and it hides most lore in items akin to genshin

#

idk why they keep trying to be dark souls with lore

frozen lintel
nimble condor
#

but i aint reading all that bs

frozen lintel
#

Ok tbf I don’t care for the worldbuilding as much in HSR BUT they use the story quests much better than genshin

lament bramble
#

Tbh, I've given up trying to follow HSR's lore. I'm just enjoying the story in front of me with 0 effort to learn more about the broader world KEK

frozen lintel
#

Like remember the yanqing quest where they met jingliu?

#

And then jingliu used that big blade on him

nimble condor
frozen lintel
#

And he would later use it in his boss battle that blade refers to

nimble condor
#

but i aint making an effort either

#

i shall go mindless and care not

frozen lintel
#

Like that stuff actually is good and connects with each other

frozen lintel
#

The only problem is that the aeons are so absurdly and unreasonably overpowered that it kinda squashed any other “antagonist” in the main stories

lament bramble
#

For me, it's the amount of Proper Nouns I need to memorize in order to make sense of any of it

#

There's too many, and too many that actually arent important to know, with very little to help tell the important ones apart from the unimportant ones

nimble condor
nimble condor
#

we aint stabbing nanook until the end of the story

nimble condor
#

every antagonist will be at most emanators of the aeons

frozen lintel
#

Exactly know how they are going to reach the endgame

#

And how the aeons are gonna be used

nimble condor
#

but the aeons themselves are meant to be an almost unreacheable goal

frozen lintel
#

They are so fuckin ridiculously overpowered

nimble condor
#

you dont like having a defined goal?

nimble condor
frozen lintel
#

The power level difference is a lot higher in hsr I feel like

nimble condor
#

not really it's both god level entities

frozen lintel
#

Ok wait so u mean gods like archons?

nimble condor
#

no i mean gods like Phanes

frozen lintel
#

Ohhh, ok yeah that’s arguable

nimble condor
#

the archons are baby gods

frozen lintel
#

any of these aeons can just decide to commit genocide and slaughter half of the universe it’s crazy man

#

Not even any of the major aeons

nimble condor
#

ok yes but like dont forget

#

they can't just

#

decide to do stuff that's oposite to their path

frozen lintel
#

Yeah fair

nimble condor
#

aeons have a clearly defined weakness

#

for as much ridiculous power as they have they can never waver from the path

#

because they ARE the path

#

If nanook went, maybe destroying the universe is a bad idea

#

he'd just fucking cease to exist

frozen lintel
#

Idk I just think like

#

In the end

#

I feel like genshin has a more clear defined plan in how it’ll reach to the end of the story

#

Where’s hsr kinda just threw a bunch of stuff and said “we’ll see when we get there”

#

Imagine if Phanes put the barrier on teyvat just so it wouldn’t get caught in the crossfire of the aeons lmao

lament bramble
#

I agree. Like, their travail trailer equivalent is a lot more vague and undefined than Genshin's

#

More of general vibes than specific plot points

frozen lintel
#

Also are all 30 something aeons gonna even be actually referenced and used in the main storyline?

lament bramble
#

Version 24.4: All 30 paths are now usable in the SU W_HuLurking

frozen lintel
#

Like it seems kinda unreasonable, AND hoyo gonna add a bunch more aeons every sim u patch

#

At least in genshin, there’s one defined Phanes + celestia, the abyss, and the humans/7 archons

#

Hsr: 50 different aeons playing multi-5d chess blowing up half of the galaxy on the whim while you’re on penacony drinking champagne

#

Aeon designs are better tho they always look awesome

nimble condor
lament bramble
#

New players needing to build 30 different versions of their MC A_WheezeTao

nimble condor
#

i just want to know what harmony trailblazer do

#

are there leaks of it

frozen lintel
#

Yeah

#

Harmony TB has been out for a while

nimble condor
#

i haven't checked it yet can you give me a tldr

frozen lintel
#

I doubt it’s that great tho because we already have so many ridiculous harmony units atm

nimble condor
#

hey preservation tb is pretty decent

#

not meta shatering but it good

frozen lintel
#

Ehhh I think it’s like break effect buff

#

I could be wrong since it’s been a while

nimble condor
#

so probably a mini ruan mei im guessing

frozen lintel
#

One of the few characters with true taunt

#

Which is a unique enough effect

nimble condor
#

Ye but you are still better off with fu xuan or gepard

frozen lintel
#

Imagine ruan mei but a four star version

nimble condor
#

that's what mini means

frozen lintel
#

Again I’m sure harmony tb is FINE but like the competition is a lot higher

nimble condor
#

we do kinda lack in the preservation department

frozen lintel
#

There’s a lot more harmony units you can run than preservation

nimble condor
#

we only have 4 that i can remember

frozen lintel
#

Aventurine might turn out to be a pretty good alternative

nimble condor
#

Fufu
Geppy
TB
March

#

that's it

#

i dont think we got anyone else

frozen lintel
#

Every mf doing aoe damage

nimble condor
#

march was never good unfortunatly

frozen lintel
#

And using skill points every damn turn

nimble condor
#

she can be fun for freeze shinenigans on SU

frozen lintel
#

So she has a niche yeah

#

Aventurine is gonna probably powercreep gepard

#

Potentially

#

||slightly weaker aoe shield but on his skill||

#

^ aventurine kit leaks

daring raft
#

I remember when I thought the first myriad celestia was gonna be its equivalent lol

#

And boy did they show me wrong

daring raft
#

This ain’t Final Fantasy

#

Paths are much more broader job classes essentially

daring raft
#

Esp in Xianzhou this is especially a popular opinion

#

fuck the lore

daring raft
#

If it’s directly quest related and a collectible in it? Sure

#

But I’ll rarely read up on weapon and artifact lore unless it’s really important stuff and stuff I care about

#

For character stories also depends. For major big players like Archons and Harbingers? Heck yeah. Otherwise it’s case by case

#

But I find it really immersive personally with an exploration game like Genshin

frozen lintel
#

its fun to piece together like a puzzle

#

albeit infuriating at times

daring raft
#

I usually just trust word of mouth stuff if it’s that talked about when it read it lol

#

Or actually no

#

I don’t trust the majority of word of mouth when it comes to most genshin fans

vivid moon
#

Good

daring raft
#

So if it seems like sth I’d be 👀 on?
Bet.

If Ashikai talks about it or some users here whose takes I trust aren’t stoned? And it catches my attention? Sure.

THEY MADE A LIVE ACTION MUSIC VIDEO FOR IT TOO?

analog pollen
#

they're having a lot of fun with this ip

#

i wonder why the difference in design philosophy

#

is it just cuz theyre trying to appeal to different groups of people?

vivid moon
#

I'm not sure, but I'm here for it

frozen lintel
#

does this look like anything in particular

analog pollen
#

pokemon snap island

daring raft
#

Yeah uhhh not really liking Topaz much so far.

vivid moon
#

I don't mind her tbh

#

By the end she did try to be better

#

Instead of letting herself be blinded completely

river badger
#

To be honest, I would have loved for her to be more morally gray as she was hinted to be in her early appearance, but she softens way too much as the event goes

#

Still a cool character

daring raft
#

I’ll be able to make a fair assessment once im done but man…It feels like they’re trying to frame her as genuine fella that’s better at sounding like she’s more full of sh*t that it feels hella tryhard than it actually getting me conflicted on the sides.
Though ig I am kinda biased cuz I’m taking lessons that cover Social Darwinism rn in history lectures.

vivid moon
#

No worries lol

daring raft
# vivid moon No worries lol

it doesn’t help that she left Gepard and his men stranded to get ganged up on by chonky bots
only for a few minutes later she goes to Bronya:

“Ok so here’s my tragic childhood on X planet, Itrustyoullbesmartaboutthisbronyawe’reheretohelpyou.”

vivid moon
#

Didjeicheofhwg

#

Yeah LOL

daring raft
#

Btw @nimble condor @vivid moon do you pull for lightcone banners

nimble condor
#

some of them

river badger
nimble condor
#

im probably gonna pull for Acheron's cause i have no good Nihility LC for a dps

river badger
#

Lies, you must have Loop at S5 A_WheezeTao

nimble condor
#

i am not putting a 3* LC on Acheron

#

She deserves better than that

#

if i can't get it ill probably give her the battle pass one

river badger
#

Hah, I am just joking

#

But I see you got two from Welt's, that is actually legit DPS Nihility lc

nimble condor
#

it's alright but the Effect Hit Rate i dont think helps her

#

from what i understand her mechanic is garanteed to hit

river badger
#

Sure it isn't as good as whatever her personal LC is going to be, but still a decent pick

vivid moon
river badger
#

Something funny happened in my IL's LC pull

#

And is that I got a 5-star on my third pull

#

Sadly lost the 75% and got Gepard's

#

Never felt so lucky and unlucky at the same time

analog pollen
#

just 1 weapon and 75% chance

daring raft
frozen lintel
daring raft
#

Not much point in doing it when they contribute well enough to banner sales as is

#

In HSR they actively push a TON more on team building in many respects with the game’s pace

#

So they might as well add some perks to balance it out imo

#

Doing the same thing in genshin is prolly just asking to flush more down the drain for them, so less point if it works well already

daring raft
#

@analog pollen

analog pollen
#

whats the occasion

daring raft
#

And the Trailblazer just happened to be around helping bronya

analog pollen
#

so theyre there

#

just cuz

#

man

#

ig the whole "who knows when we'll see them next time" thing is basically retconned out

#

kinda wish they tought things through more but oh well

#

belobog was already reworked since the beta

daring raft
#

So yeah

#

Yeah uhh

#

Not looking good for Topaz’s part

#

Even if she herself has over an 80% success rate

analog pollen
#

what happens if they dont succeed

daring raft
#

a gamble they weren't even informed about

daring raft
#

The whole questline gave me a lot of respect for Bronya from the sheer fact that she didn’t want to cave in her face from punching it

I blame the ADR directors waaaaaaaay before the VAs on this one

analog pollen
#

adr?

daring raft
#

The dub directors

lament bramble
# analog pollen wait it's automated?

The early days of audio replacement ADR—also known as “looping”—involved looping a length of film over and over to allow the actor to perfectly match and sync their performance from set. Today, the actual “looping” happens on a computer, which is where the “automated” part of ADR comes in.

daring raft

But honestly? I’d rather they not have dubbed the CN rap to begin with

lament bramble

I think it was cheesy, but fine. But whoever edited the EN audio did it off beat, which killed the whole flow
