How is the new Paimon voice? Better or worse?

emergency onahole

just use mandarin or the japanese dub
en dubbing will never ever be good

>>715002879 (OP)
>Still high-pitched
>Still refers to self in third person

Inherently bad character.

>>715002879 (OP)
Much better. Not just because the voice is no longer attached to an insufferable cunt, either.

>>715003416

>>715002879 (OP)
New lore video confirms Paimon is the Shade that beat us up in the prologue.

“Asmoday isn’t here because she loves her new master more than her self.”

>>715002879 (OP)
Reminds me of Sedene a lot.

>>715004043
Nah, I think Paimon is a fragment of her, but her full power form is probably corrupted by the Abyss or another Descender or something

>>715003635
JP Paimon does this and is cute anyways. EN voice actors are just really bad at sounding cute because they're girlboss cunts IRL.

>>715004316
Paimon is probably her Guoba’d. Her being randomly corrupted or controlled by something else would be too weird and out of place.

>>715002879 (OP)
It's alright, but I switch to JP once I saw the EN dub still being fully retarded. I was fine with EN until they got exposed for their "strike".

I find it hilarious that no one even knows what the actual drama was but saw it was an ugly roastie voicing her and wanted her gone. Also a reminder all your favorite lolis are voiced by middle aged hags.

>>715005047
>Also a reminder all your favorite lolis are voiced by middle aged hags.
This applies to all regions, however
>It's okay when Japan does it
will always rings true.

>>715003416
>>715003923
kek, you don’t even have to talk shit about dubs to upset dubfags anymore

>>715004043
Seems like a red herring. They have completely different VAs and they have too many design differences. The most unusual element is Paimon's crown. If they were one and the same, why would Paimon have a crown, but not Asmoday?

The most peculiar element is how even though one of the Shades should have seen Paimon, she didn't seem to notice her. No one ever seems to think that Paimon is strange. A few people question her species, but everyone just accepts her. I'm beginning to think she has some sort of perception filter that makes it so that everyone just accepts her existence instantly without question.

>>715006154
If you’re talking about the scene in Natlan, Ronova didn’t acknowledge anyone there in that scene other than Capitano and Mavuika. Also we saw in the trailer that Ronova didn’t even notice she was being spied on.

>>715002879 (OP)
Any other thing is better than a squirrel-pitched voice

>>715004043
But we don't know who that could be referring to, Asmoday could be a completely different character than paimon

>>715003629
>>715004789
best girl will save eng va or die trying

>>715002879 (OP)
Worse but worth it for the comedy value of a retard ruining her own life.

>>715006615
It's probably deliberate misdirection. People have been suspecting that Paimon had an association with Asmoday since day 1. The most common year 1 theory was that she WAS Asmoday, a theory that's largely fallen to the wayside over time. I'm gonne guess the theory's gonna make a comeback now. But honestly, they're probably not the same person.

>>715005047
I will never understand people losing their golden egg layer goose because of dumb reasons
that bitch already had a source of income for the following 5 years but decided to being a full retard just to end fired by hoyo

>>715006835
I mean a lot of people thought Durandal being the real Kiana was deliberate misdirection back in HI3 and then that ended up being the truth.

>>715006835
How's it a theory? I think it is pretty obvious she is Paimon

>>715007212
They have different voices. Also, it's weird that a degraded form has a crown while the "true" form doesn't.

>>715007035
you think that's bad?
google the act age author to see how someone can ruin it's own career and bright future by not controlling his impulses.

>>715007212
how do you explain it then? did paimon get bonked on her head losing her memory, shrink-ray'd and outfit changed?

Paimon = Asmoday finally confirmed

>>715007396
Sealed herself to keep watch over the traveler? I mean Istaroth here basically said she gave the sibling a “history” just because she could. Naberius let herself be combined with Rhinedottir. Ronova bent the rules to make deals with humanity even when she wasn’t supposed to. The crown could be the seal. Though if it she is Paimon it sounds like she could unseal herself at any time but is choosing to stay sealed and with the traveler over her duties.

>>715007282
Naturally, they have different body shape so it's not too far fetched to think they should have different voices

>>715007396
She's like a fairy. They are mischievous, perhaps she's pretending

I straight up do not see them replacing Paimon's VA with Kiana's after she regains her "true" form.

Paimon = Pseudo Algorithm of Intransient Matrix of Overseer Network

we rollin?

>>715004043
Asmoday is likely working for the real antagonist.
Paimon is most likely an emissary of Phanes, due to the crown. Maybe Paimon will need to die for Phanes to awaken and save us from Asmoday and the Abyss.

>>715008264
No I have to save. I whaled too much during Natlan.

>>715008264
Nah, not my type of character.

>>715008264
C0 because cute. I'm not pulling extra copies just for Stygian's sake.

>>715008264
the edgy ayylmao drained my primos so no robutt for me

>>715008475
It’s completely against Mihoyo’s style to asspull final villains. Every game has a designated villain that is introduced relatively early on. HI3 had the honkai itself and Kevin was introduced right during the start of the 2nd story arc. Star Rail has Nanook and his Lord Ravagers. ZZZ has the cult group.

The likely final villain will be Phanes and Paimon/Asmoday will choose our side over his. Possibly getting deleted in the process. Then she gets revived afterwards as just Paimon.

>>715008264
Cute but no. Skipped Skirk too because she's clunky fake meta, saving for true meta

>>715008791
Nah. Asmoday is just a Shade. She's absolutely not the final boss. It's a red herring. She's probably either working for the Sibling.

>>715008791
>Star Rail has Nanook and his Lord Ravagers. ZZZ has the cult group.
We have no idea if those are final villains. Could just be side villain factions. For the individual arcs villains are often asspulled, ZZZ's 1.x final villain was a literal who politician. Penacony asspulled Sunday

>>715008791
You're contradicting yourself. How would Phanes not be an asspull villain? We don't know anything about her intentions at the moment, and has been asleep for the entirety of the game.
By your logic the final villain should effectively be the Abyss. And Asmoday's master could very well be one of the Sinners, which just makes the antagonists we already know far more threatening.
Paimon being Phanes provides a convenient asspull out to the problem at the game's climax, plus drama.

>>715008264
5 star electro character were never good outside their own region and patch

>>715009316
>>715008913
Who cares about meta, you roll because she's cute and you want to play with her.

>>715002879 (OP)
Has it been said who Paimon's new VA even is? She kinda sounds like Andrea Libman, but it could also just be someone new in the scene.

>>715009172
Phanes aka the Heavenly Principles have been basically the big bad for both the Fatui and the Abyss Order since the start of the story. We only learned the name Phanes later.

>>715009094
And that politician was just a member of the evil cult. And there is no way Nanook isn’t the final villain.

>>715009442
We're not the Fatui or the Abyss Order, why even mention them when they've been antagonists this whole time. Phanes is merely a plot device.

OUR antagonist is the Abyss and Asmoday. The rest of Celestia isn't even related to our beef since Asmoday has gone rogue.
The Tsaritsa opposes Celestia yes, but that's her story arc that we'll eventually get to. Considering she's the Archon who symbolizes love, it'll likely be a revenge story.

The Abyss just wants to destroy everything, it's the game's Honkai.

>>715009316
This is the first electro that's good bro...

>>715004043
Istaroth is venti mom and knowing how secretive venti are I guess its safe to assume that unlike focalors-furina / raiden-ei / rukkhadevata-kusanali they are still communicate with each other or atleast in touch frequently

>>715009440
Both her and Keqing's new voice actors are anonymous. We don't know if it's by their choice, or if it's the voice studio or Hoyo

>>715002879 (OP)
Reminder that hoyoslopers eat pagpag.

>>715010563
Bronya from Star Rail’s VA has been anonymous from the start and avoids all the other VAs. Smart thing to do honestly.

>>715010516
Neither Focalors nor Nahida were created directly by the Rulers. They're subsequent "generations".
Though Naberius looks exactly like Focalors, we don't know if Egeria looked like her as well, but it's likely all things considered.

Paimon's outfit feels more regal than Asmoday's. She has a crown and her heavenly mantle seems to be more impressive than Asmoday's as well. I think in her full form, Paimon is someone who outranks the Shades. So she's either the Primordial One or the Second Who Came.

cow sex

>>715010647
Kind of depends, because networking is important in the VA world.
Fame goes a long way to help getting chosen for a gig. You can still reveal yourself and not be a retard like the non-american voice actors. But yes it's her choice, and whatever are her own life circumstances.

>>715010563
Saggers once said that if they were to recast a va, they should do it anonymously/va cant take any credit for their voice roles. This was after kinich got a new va and they are attacking him, calling him scab, etc. Maybe its a protection, or just plain ai and they tried to hide them

>>715004043
Saw a number of idiots elsewhere complaining that all the shades are beautiful women. Doesn’t Hoyo know that girls want sexy guys too? Also Ronova’s clothing is too sexy and her boobs are too big. Hoyoplay app is a funny place. The complaint about less guys amuses me. If you wanted more guys maybe you should have been spending more on the guy banners.

All demon gods are probably descended from one of the Shades.

>Naberius: Egeria, Focalors, Buer
>Ronova: Beelzebul
>Istaroth: Barbatos
>Asmoday: ???

Morax is hard to pinpoint since he's an adult man who bears no resemblance to any of the Shades. Their powers and ideals may also bear little relevance. Ei is the God of Eternity, and eternity should be in the realm of Time, yet Ei seems to be linked to Ronova, the Shade of Death. Ei also has the power to cleave through space, which should be Asmoday's domain, but again, there seems to be no link.

So pierro chud gaze function is to... gaze, and nothing more? So tsaritsa recruited him from the khaenriah tragedy because his... gaze can piss of the gods and thats it? The zoom in frame reminds me of chud drawing from above

>>715011687
He can spy on the Shades. That's useful.

>>715011392
There's a metric ton of gods, you can't do this to all of them. Egeria, Venti have direct relationships as we know.
Nahida/Rukkhadevata's having DNA symbols is probably more due to Irminsul than directly Naberius herself.

>>715011392
Ei’s view of eternity was basically to prevent the “death” of Inazuma. Zhongli is hard to pin point but I’d say either Ronova or Asmoday, leaning toward Ronova.

Paimon is for

Did the Noblesse domain for Dahlia, when did they replace the triple abyss mage group for a single ruin guard?

>>715012179
Its a domain nerf, but I dont remember when.

Paimon:
>Has a crown that seems to bear some resemblance to Istaroth's halo.
>Has a black star-shaped ornament that's identical to Asmoday's own black star imagery
>Bears a triquetra on her outfit, identical to the ones on Naberius'.
>Bears celestial motifs on hero outfit, similar to the Statues of the Seven. None of the Shades possess these motifs.
>All the Shades have golden eyes with unique patterns. Paimon, however, has black eyes that depict the starry sky.
>Her star mantle appears to bear a resemblance to Asmoday's. However, Paimon's mantle also depicts three moons.

Paimon has design elements that incorporate parts of each of the Shades, except Ronova's. At least, I can't see any elements of Ronova on Paimon's design.

>>715012762
Naberius’ eyes are blue. Rhinedottir’s eyes are gold.

>>715012762
I think paimon's cape is similar to skirk's limbs giving her abyssal connection

I'm starting to think Tsaritsa is also from Khaenriah...

>>715011392
Zhongli and Liyue seems to be devoid of any connection to the greater cosmology of Teyvat, except for the celedon mare that seems to be like Venti, a wisp of Istaroth, though she (mare) isn't even considered an adepti.

...so what do the nails actually do?

>>715007035
Mental illness will make you do shit like that.

>>715016135
Didn't we find out ages ago it's used to suppress Abyssal energy wherever it lands?

>>715004560
>Her being randomly corrupted or controlled by something
Well one npc that sees energy said that Paimon has stings going up to the heavens so that makes sense

>>715011392
>>715015720
There’s clearly going to be 3* elements associated with light and 3* with abyss leaving one of the seven elements inert, geo.

*really all 6 elements will each be aligned with either light/abyss which is the point of something like lunar aspected elements in nodkrai. Hence the four shades. As in
>one for 3 elements aligned with abyss
>one for 3 lunar elements aligned with abyss
>one for 3 elements aligned with [light] or whatever they want to call it
>one for 3 lunar elements aligned with [light]

And geo is intert or, provided they ever add all the elements, will be the final reaction of light+abyss -> + geo (like burgeon or hyperbloom). Because china numba wan

i just roll for both characters i like and to cover weaknesses of my account.

entering Natlan my weak elements were Pyro and Cyro

so i grabbed starting with Natlan
Mavuika C0
Arlecchino C0 (accidental, early pity)
Xilonen C6R1 (went C4R1 first banner, then said fuck it second as i had quite the pile from welkin?BP)
Skirk C2 (accidental as well, C1 at 8 pity then C2 at 40, wanted C0 Dahlia and didn't mind bonus cons if early)

>>715017383
oh, i also grabbed C0 Citlali because she reminded me of my irl wife, though she ended up being the most useless as SO with the Overseer where extra Cyro would be nice just gets you killed.

It is bad that I want to fill her insides with semen then cover her hair with more semen?

>>715016793
If she is Asmoday then her string would be connected to Phanes.

>>715016954
Except all seven elements are derived from the Light Realm. We always knew this.

>>715008264
Doubt it, I'm sitting on a mountain of rolls because Natlan was a total fucking wash for me. Did a couple rolls, but not that many really and adding up my shit, I'm sitting on fucking 850 rolls worth.

Did you not roll for pyro bike lady?

>>715017305
Put the phone down, and magically, it all goes away...

>>715018574
Yes that would be Phanes. The sky is fake remember? The Heavenly Principles has locked up Teyvat.

>>715018613
No. I think she's boring personality wise.

Why are they still hiring UScunts?
Just get Brit voice actors, way better.

>>715018613
No one has drawn her taking a huge shit yet so no

>>715019015
she probably just needs a story quest or something, there was some hints that she was a bit of an autistic collector but burned the collector when the rescue kachina quest happened.

>>715002879 (OP)
?
She sounds the same what are you talking about

>>715017383
I also got skirk accidentally. I want dahlia and he comes with skirk, then I randomly pull for weapon without selecting any of them hoping to get that EM sword for kazuha, i think its called xiphos moon or something, but i got azurelight instead in 20 pulls. So i ended up building skirk and team her up with furina, escoffier, and dahlia so that she wouldnt be a waste.
My conclusion is that she's good, strong in abyss, but she's not enjoyable to play in overworld

>>715007976
For god's sake stop being a spic you fucking spic no one can read that gook language.

>>715019278
yeah, aside from potentially getting Shenhe's weapon this prior banner had some really good weapons on it.

>>715018613
Nta
I pulled her (fell for it) because people said that shes good for exploration because the bike can walk through mountain, water, lava, and fly, and although its not entirely wrong they didnt mention that the bike only lasts for likr 5 seconds before the fuel runs out and the bike went to cooldown for 7 seconds.

>>715019102
I like that idea, they should have done something with it as she builds up a new collection.

>>715019589
Feel like they nerfed it, it’s really strange cuz the fucking cow girl is so much better for just running around and I’m said I didn’t get her to c1 for unlimited running

>>715019061
Newer ones are brit; mizuki va is brit, escoffier va is brit and dahlia is voiced by irish, I dont know skirk va nationality but if she's american then it probably because she voiced skirk before the entire sag aftra faggotry. What sells in this industry is passion, and yjk that unlike those union moron, these newer va have that passion in voicing their character and viewed their work as passion job

Zhongli is as old as the Phanes.
Venti is also very old.

The other Archons are all frauds.

>>715020091
wasn't there some talk during Liyue about soul erosion or something? where you slowly lose yourself after the centuries? it was continued in Inazuma which is why the Ei locked herself away to try and prevent it.

>>715019296
Bruh that's the second most studied and spoken language in USA and the world. Unless you are unable to speak, hear or see you should learn a second language if you want better job opportunities.

Well shit i didnt get skirk so now im pissed and just want to roll until i get something, i already have mavuika, should i go for a copy to get her to c1 or go for emily c0?

>>715020256
Mexicans can't even speak or read English and most I've seen can't read Spanish either, it's weird you think they would at least be able to read their native language.

of course these are the guys who go to work at 4-5am to a meat packing plant so they are all but certainly road crews or meat packing plant workers.

Of course the disgusting Mexican is retarded too.

She can kill everything quickly with just Coffee on her team and I don't even have her with more than two +20 artifacts. She literally is just using random garbage Glads I had and a single goblet.

I will SAVE her

>>715020253
There was, introduced in ZL's 2nd SQ. However one thing to note is that ZL's "erosion" is literally just a perfect memory. Or rather, the emotions and reminiscence that his perfect memory brings. There is nothing to indicate his erosion is losing strength or mind, unlike some other characters.

>>715020936
i'm probably getting it confused with the Xiao situation.

Old voice was fine but the twitter drama of the VA was starting to make me dislike the in-game Paimon so I'm glad it got changed

Her E is timed so that if you just kill this group of enemies using her E and her abyssal energy is running out (eventually) you'll have to wait for the elemental skill cooldown before you can switch to her E mode again and fight another group of enemies again. Inefficient for overwo- Wait did I just describe using her to kill enemies in overworld? Nvm, I rarely did that though, maybe its due to the fact that all enemies are DEAD by the time I switched back to skirk, because escoffier and furina E killed them all

>>715021343
i see that all the time as well, reading rates with early morning workers is non-existent.

I'll accept lines under his eyes

>>715021767
>you'll have to wait for the elemental skill cooldown before you can switch to her E mode again and fight another group of enemies again.
Yeah, but the groups are typically spread out enough that the run over to them has the E off cooldown again, and even if you're not making the crystals at all the non-burst burst extends her duration in the E mode for a bit. I'm dealing like 20kish per slash and they come out very quickly so I can just nuke down an overworld group with Coffee mopping up the rest.

No, but a lot of US VAs are, which is how non-union studios start getting fucked over. Even if they outsource like they're currently doing, it'll start some bullshit drama.

Kind of wish they'd used Natlan as a turning point to start giving all new characters some sort of movement gimmicks, considering that overworld is 99% of the game's actual content. Stupidly FOMO'd into Skirk due to lack of cryo units, before realizing there's no reason not to run teams with Natlan characters instead.

>>715039638
Yeah, exploring without Iansan/Mualani/Citlali feels like fucking shit now, Skirk should have got some kind of warp/portal gimmick to go with her Abyss theme.

Many NPCs don't even acknowledge Paimon's presence. Those that DO are only mildly surprised or interested.

Literally everyone is saving for Columbina since she's supposed to be a really op Lunar DPS

>>715010818
>Paimon's outfit feels more regal than Asmoday's. She has a crown and her heavenly mantle seems to be more impressive than Asmoday's as well. I think in her full form, Paimon is someone who outranks the Shades. So she's either the Primordial One or the Second Who Came.
Yeah, they look too different visually. My bet is on Paimon being a divine gremlin sent by one of the other Shades or their boss, or she herself is their boss with a memory loss.

>>715041750
Escoffier pretty much makes every cryo character good and she was released one patch before Skirk
Ineffa is good for Electrocharged and.... Yeah that's pretty much it, only really Neuvillette wants her and she isn't even Neuvillette's BIS

>>715042129
Anon they're going to release Columbina for the new years sales bonus like they did with Mavuika (Who was the most succesful 5.X banner)
Ineffa is just Emilie 2.0, a bait that only 1 random future character actually uses
And if Columbina somehow needs Ineffa, by the time she'll appear we'll probably get a Ineffa rerun straight after

These guys are gonna be like the mooks in SCP stories who get sent in to contain the anomaly ('bina) but instead get eviscerated by it.

Very occasionally, I do kinda wish Genshin were as fast as HSR and ZZZ. Then I remember, no, I don't actually wish for that. Saving rolls in those games is fucking miserable. I've had to skip so many characters I wanted, and forget rolling for weapons.

>>715049023
is it faster over there? I didn't know

>>715049295
In HSR and ZZZ, a new 5-star is released every twenty days. There are a few times when this doesn't happen, but these instances are extremely rare.

>>715049451
I see, while genshin has reruns sometimes but the same 20day schedule.

>>715049609
There are more rerun periods than not in Genshin. The only times when they release two 5-stars back-to-back are at the beginning of a new region, and maybe some special circumstances.

I have people over sometimes, most of my friends just walk straight into my house because I never answer my phone or door, I keep it inside a bag in a black box next to an armchair and nobody has ever asked what's inside the box because it's none of their business and they don't care. I've left it out to dry after cleaning a few times but only one friend has seen it, he just thought it was funny.

It's a 10kg piece of silicone, so it's quite large but not impossible to hide, you want to keep it sealed in a box or something anyway because they are like magnets for dust, hair etc

Someone give me the QRD on the cosmology/pantheon again, I haven't played in years.

>>715055151
>Archons are just scrub gods.
Relatively speaking, theyre still fairly powerful being directly below the shades and the heavenly principles.
>shades are higher tier gods, as we saw
yes, the shades were created by the heavenly principles to fight off the dragon niggas and won. There is also phanes who might be the primodial one who is connected to them in someway either being the hp or just the top dog.
>Descenders are???
Beings from outside of teyvat like (you) notice that skirk is not a descender because descenders need to be "powerful enough to rival the will of a planet" whatever that means. There have been 4 descenders so far, the first is the heavenly principles, the second is unknown, the third is also unknown but we know the gnosis were made out of thier body, the 4th is (you)

Okay, there's a lot of incomplete and contradictory in universe info but it goes like that
>Teyvat was a young world born with the dragon king Nibelung as its heart, there are other worlds near it
>an unknown stellar traveler ran into it, told Nibelung that she foretold a disaster would kill him, and he should leave Teyvat and travel with her
>he refuses, by the time that stellar traveler returns Nibelung had been killed by an alien force (Phanes/First Throne/Heavens) who set up a new world order
>the death of Nibelung creates the Abyss which wants to do... something, not really known. Definitely fuck over the Heavens for control over Teyvat.
>most dragons were exterminated, the single light force of Teyvat was broken into seven elements under the control of the Heavens, it reflected itself into four Shades that shackled the world
>they possibly created humanity but it's not known for sure
>the HP sent the Angels as envoys to humanity to basically set their religion, keep them brainwashed and act as intermediaries for the Shades/HP
>the first iteration of this world order was Hyperborea, where humanity was ruled by seven priest-kings with seven crowns handed to them by the Heavens, in the Golden City capital
cont.

>>715056352
>the first stellar traveler returns, tells the first Angel the truth about the world which breaks her puppet string controls, but because this info couldn't be known, the HP nukes Hyperborea and destroys the Angels turning them into Seelies, ending the first cycle
>either before or after that a second unknown force came to Teyvat and fought the Heavens but was defeated, we don't know much about that since it's a taboo topic
>the world repeats for several samsara cycles where each time some civilization reaches the conclusion that the Heavens keep the world imprisoned for unknown reasons and ends up nuked
>the latest generation of Heaven's jannies happened when there was a huge war between the gods 2000 years ago for reasons unknown, seven elemental creatures were chosen to get Heavenly authority over the elements and the HP fucked off from the world
>the most recent cycle was with Khaenri'ah, which was an underground godless society that used Abyssal powers casually, they got destroyed by Ronova at the behest of the Heavens because they were AWOL at the time

>>715057578
I'm sure it does, but we've been through a lot of regions now and gotten quite a few elements, and we're still jobbing most of the time only to be saved by some character they want us to roll for.

The crown makes it obvious that Paimon is either a weakened version or fragment of the crown that is Phanes. Remeber Phanes' description: "It had wings and a crown, and was birthed from an egg, androgynous in nature." Not to mention the fact that Paimon can pop in and out of space, AND is the only moving object when you're moving time forward. Asmoday is only involved in space

>>715057492
Bro, your training with Skirk?

>>715055642
From Skirk’s story quest, Skirk could have been considered a descender had she chosen to interact in Teyvat in a different more hands on way but because she decided only to have a small influence with very few people, she doesn’t qualify.

>>715060575
Makoto died 500 years ago, circumstances unclear.
Most probably she sacrificed herself making a deal with Ronova.

>>715061048
All Archons have clear connections to at least one Shade.

Morax has 0 with the 3, so this means he will have something to do with Asmodei, the Ruler of Space.
In that one quest in 2.7 he showed the power of warping Xiao out from whatever space.

>>715004043
I care less and less about Genshin's lore as it takes attention further and further away from the actual story of the game. When it was flavor that gave life to the world it was great and cool, but now that it's forcing itself into the frontlines it feels contrived and stupid.

I just wanted a story about trying to find your sibling while interacting with gods that wanted to relinquish their crowns. I don't care about the super-gods, or the dragon-gods, or the mega-hyper-holographic gods.

>>715061517

I've played the game for 5 years and thousands of hours and I've never heard this name, so as a casual player I'd still consider that to be an asspull.

>>715061794
i gotta agree. I liked it when they were more in the background, something that existed but wasn't much touched upon. some background element to your story of finding what your sibling is doing. now in typical asian game manner we're going to have to fight god

>>715059689
Makoto was the archon. Ei picked up the job after Makoto’s death.

>>715061794
You sound retarded anon, please think before you make posts

>>715061517
I think its kinda cool how Ei is involved with 2 different shades, ronova and istaroth. She does seem like shes a lot more important than people realize also considering she is one of the more powerful archons, having a fuck you oneshot move that also stops time.

Aether bros..

>>715061413
We know Makoto had a contract with Istaroth since Istaroth’s power retroactively created the divine sakura tree to make it so it had always existed despite really only being like less than 500 years old.

Imagine if the reason we still haven't seen the cryo archon reveal is because she was revealed a long time ago.

You are deluded to think Morax aka ZhongLi is not at least the 2nd most relevant Archon in this (Chinese) game.

He made a contract with Asmoday, he knows everything, his powers are related to the Ruler of Space.

>>715061983
>there are players in this very game, this thread even, that haven't read Before Sun and Moon
No wonder you go on eceleb slop reaction videos and most commenters don't know what the fuck is going on. At least the japs don't, they're completely clueless, they thought Asmoday is the Heavens, English players are more lorepilled.

Why are young girls/lolis in western dubs always voiced by old women? It's incredibly fucking cringe, you can literally hear them trying to do the squeakiest voice they can muster and failing spectacularly at it. It takes you out of the game so fucking bad, it's ridiculous.
Why not hire, I don't know, actual teenage girls with youthful voices for this? I'm sure there are lots of talented girls out there who would do voice acting.
Mature women voicing lolis works in Asia, because their voices are fucking squaky by default and they don't even need to try. This absolutely doesn't work with western women.
I never use western voice acting because of this shit anymore. Hearing a grown woman trying to speak in a very forced squeaky voice is just too fucking cringe man.

Even young girls know that being a VA means you failed at being in any other kind of acting profession.

Reminder that the Traveler has a lot more knowledge than the player does. They spent months traveling around with Paimon before the start of the game where Paimon taught them how to use elemental powers. I'm willing to bet that when the big Paimon reveal happens, it won't be from a third party or Paimon, it will come from a Traveler flashback to that time before the start of the game.

>>715026119
hey aren't you the guy who records himself fucking hoyo girls? you have a raiden and kafka doll too

>>715067405
Yeah, considering how they handled the space ship reveal, and some prior side quest tidbits here and there concerning Traveler's origins and shit going without any comment from Paimon, I wouldn't be surprised if the actual "reveals" will work something like
>Ah yes Traveler, of course Paimon remembers you telling Paimon your whole backstory and revealing you're royalty from a space-faring empire and were traveling the stars with your sibling for XYZ reason.
>Hey, remember when Paimon also told you she's secretly the super-god of Teyvat going incognito, right at the beginning of the game? Te-he!

Did abyss suddenly get harder or do I need the new premium character for boss mechanics? I used to be able to 36 star it

>>715070034
a little of both
you can still brute force it but if you got 36 stars before at the limit, you will struggle

>>715067405
>>715068192
The spaceship was only in Genshin's beta
Same with Primordial Element & Paimon with a Celestial Spear so they may get used in the future too

>>715070328
There was a lot of random beta stuff that fell out like Lisa nuking most of her lifespan from a curse experiment.

>>715070328
gonna be disappointing when paimon goes fullsize but seeing her bust out the spear will be cool

>>715070621
>>715070640
The Primordial Element was used in the TCG game (same symbol & rainbowy colors at least) I think but could be used when we eventually reach Celestia

like shes recording from her closet afraid that her parents will hear it

>>715059671
nobody know, uncredited as of now

>>715004043
No she fucking isn't you retard. Look at paimon and Asmoday side by side, their designs are nothing alike. For fuck sake their eyes and design have absolutely nothing in commmon. Paimon has more in common with the designs of Istaroth, Naberius and Ronova than with Asmoday, seeing the triquerta design in their clothes. The only thing that connects Paimon and Asmoday is the black star pin in Paimon's hair.
Paimon is a fucking angel/seelie/emisarry as confirmed by Kukulkan. Asmoday is probably corrupted by the abyss or a sinner (or even Nibelung) and working for them.

That single line literally has nothing to do with Paimon, she's not even in the teaser to begin with.

>>715071148
I will simply pretend there is no ship

>>715008264
No I pulled every single character from Natlan and skirk and escoffier. I only skipped Mizuki in this last year. If I roll for her I'll be broke when the actual OP cute girls from Nod Krai come around. Plus i'm not that much into the whole robot maid thing. Plus she's an electro character and they're always bait.

>>715004043
doubt it, traveler isnt paimons master
asmoday is most likely ... with your sibling

then who is paimon? there are 5 sinners, not 4, one for each power ... makes me think there is a fifth celestial
so paimon would be the either a fifth shade, or the demiurge himself, phanes/primodial one/heavenly principles for whose return everybody is waiting

>>715071148
>genshin never mentioned spaceshi-

>>715061794
>further and further away from the actual story of the game.
I mean the story was always about finding our sibling and about the fatui vs archons conlict.
there were always 2 sides, abyss, the sibling and fatui vs archins and the celestials

but what i do think they should have done is introduced celestia directly early on, make some of the comic stories into in game quests, so we know who the fuck the shades are, and not dump that info in the side region of enkanomiya

>>715071035
>>715035413
>Five hundred dollars for a shitty paimonahole
You're getting ripped off here with low quality shit no thanks. Better off going to /jp/ onahole general threads

>>715005047
>I find it hilarious that no one even knows what the actual drama was but saw it was an ugly roastie voicing her and wanted her gone. Also a reminder all your favorite lolis are voiced by middle aged hags.
bullshit, everybody who played in EN noticed that half the characters are missing their VAs, they might have not known details about SAG and what the protest is about, but anybody who cared would know there is some VA protest going on
people were pissed by lack of VA after a year

i havent played since Sumeru came out
how fucked would i be if i played again
i had c6 Xiangling, c6 xiang whatever the fuck the water dude, Xiao, Raiden, and idek

>>715011392
I don't know about descended but they're definitely connected. Ronova's also connected to Haborym, as she has a contract with all the pyro archons and Natlan. Istaroth's also connected to Baal, since she borrowed her power to turn Baal into the Sacred sakura via time fuckery shenanigans. Morax is probably connected to Asmoday as his Pilars and meteorite share visuals with the cubes of destruction of Asmoday. Also Naberius shares designs with Buer and Ronova with Beelzebub.

I'd say the shades probably created the archon thrones and as such gave a part of their powers to the archons indirectly. Naberius also shares her techno shards visuals with Buer's techno akasha terminal visuals.

>>715073475
You'd be fine, you can even quick start the most recent region's quests if you don't want to do all that story catchup

>>715061794
>I just wanted a story about trying to find your sibling
You found the sibling long ago.

>>715013158
Based purely on design, i'd say if Paimon is really a de-powered god, she's Phanes. Also the triquerta's also part of Ronova's design.

>>715073232
it's funny to me that there's literally nothing about asmoday in anything despite being the main enemy

>>715016135
pin shit in place, literally it seems
try to stop the reality from tearing in places where abyssal power are threatening to get in

>>715041367
probably not, seem like too brute force of a solution for someone who is supposed to be creator of everything, nails seems like something the shades came up with to fallow phanes rules

>go on youtube video
>"Who is Phanes???"
>"who are these women????"
>"wtf Pierro said Visions are puppet strings to control humans????????"
no wonder they needed a buildup region to spoonfeed the average speedreader

>>715073043
>genshin is medieval fanta-ACK!

>>715025269
fag bard = istaroth it seems
he didnt replace her, he is her
Istaroth was always supposed to parade around humans

so guess its not paimon

>>715074136
>>"wtf Pierro said Visions are puppet strings to control humans????????"
wait huh

>>715074254

>>715074393
It's not the tech level that looked out of place in Natlan, it was the aesthetics
The new interlude showed Snezhnayan tanks and they looked very much like they belong in the game

>>715074440
nta but the tanks and overwatch aesthetic offput me at first, then I thought okay it does kinda match their agents with the electro power fists, fat man cryo cannons and guns

>>715074393
and that's just surface Natlan kek

>subterranean metropolis with 360 degree LCD walls

>>715057492
The descenders are basically aliens who have the will to change the fate of the world. There are several aliens in genshin that are not descenders, as they lack the will to do so. The first descender changed the world by destroying the dragon civilization and shaping teyvat and the cosmic rules about teyvat. The second descender got their ass kicked, the third got killed and turned into gnosis, which the archons use as aplifiers for their powers and a form of communicaiton with their boss - the heavenly principles. The fourth descender is tabibito, who is basically changing the fate of the world and it's citizens over the course of your gameplay.

Why are snezhnaya solders so much bigger than everyone else? Are they even supposed to be human?

>>715074301
Narzissenkreuz "Total Demiurge Death" Oppenheimer thought as much.

>>715074651
imagine dying like a bitch and getting turned int several batteries/walkie-talkies

>>715072990
this was also my initial answer, but once you think about how the current AQ established that the sibling was looking for you in your pod back then, then it doesn't make much sense

So If I want to find and read some of this hidden lore that I apparently missed. Where do I go look?

>>715074282
Another piece of evidence for traps not being gay.

>>715073997
shes not though, the main enemy is the abyss which was brought by the dragon king from fuck knows where
it threatens all life in tayvat
asmoday despite beating us at the start dosnt seem to have done much since

>>715074728
Snezhnaya has the Mandate of Heaven to rule Teyvat.
Unironically, which makes it extra funny that they're now rebelling against the God Janny.

>>715075195
I'm so afraid that cryo archon is going to be a womanlet...

>>715074393
thats retarded since every other tech fits the world, and seems in line with inventions they made
genshin civilizations were quite advance, but they use elemntal magic to power shit, not petrol ...

a bike requires roads, something natlan dosnt have, and is clearly earth design
in genshin only one character is from earth, Alice, nobody else should know how the fuck a modern race bike looks
it just fucking looks retarded, dosnt fit anything

and if mauvika did invent bikes, why not share the tech with others? they fucking use animal pulled carts there still
why not give out magic motors?

>>715011117
Still attacking him, now trying to spoof emails to defame him (probably Kayli Mills based on her previous actions and given she lived in Japan before).

>>715075046
technically she was just doing her job, I guess
keeping kids off the lawn

>>715074980
There's a fuckton of stuff to read and keep track of. The goddamn filler text on some throwaway shitty artifacts from launch only made complete sense one month or so ago.
It's very Soulslike in its presentation, my advice is find some lorefag on youtube without an annoying voice who will spoonfeed you.

>>715075370
>one character is from earth, Alice
Where did this headcanon come from?

>>715074980
What do you want? I would say Istaroth's lore is pretty cool since it was in the very start of the game (the nameless island) and has tidbits through Mond, especially the "Seeds of stories are brought by the wind" proverb that pops everywhere that has this extra line "and are cultivated by time"

>>715075646
It being spread out over years only makes this worse. Like the only thing I remember about enkanomiya was something about a snake god that god them banished underground, and them sacrificing children for some reason.

>>715075658
from all the tech and things she talks about
thought maybe just earth like planet like skirk, who plain up says there are other planets populated by humans, one which also attacked her people

>>715073043

>>715060575
They match on the chuuni aesthetics but the status in Ei's case is just chuuni Kannon.
Kannon (Buddhess of Prayers) and Bishamon (Buddha of War) being the main gods in Japan (yeah, you've heard about Amaterasu and shit but that's just nazi fairytales; the authentic shrines worship these two by a fucking landslide).
Her image being the thousand armed, hundred eyed statue. And the girl pulls out it with all the Buddhist imagery in the boss fight.

Ronova has the eyes motif just because of Honkai chuunisim and shit character design. Sorry not sorry. Honkai has absolute garbage and fairly generic anime designs compared to the good stuff in Genshin or ZZZ.
Star Rail continues the tradition of pigslop, sadly.

>>715076507
They have like 2 areas left and shitloads of plot threads that needs to be explained and closed.

>>715076659
I don't speak zoomer.

>>715076927
pigslop?!

I'm going through old Mondstadt stuff and Paimon sounds veeeeery different from the screeching goblin she turned into (because of course, duh).
Give the new chick some time, she'll figure out how to kill our eardrums eventually.

>>715076358
>there was always tech shit
vs
>actually the spaceship at the start was retconned to make genshin a fully fantasy game then they retconned the retcon in the 1.1 quest where the mech puppet talks about the fake sky, then they retconned the retcon to make it fantasy again, then they retconned the retcon in the 1.4 Dain quest, then they retconned that to make it fantasy again, then... until six months ago when Natlan ruined genshin by not having enough 5star males- I mean, ruined genshin with its spaceships and aesthetics

>>715077031
I miss 1.0 Paimon. She was so snarky and sarcastic.

>>715076927

Nod Krai

abyss

at least 3 more regions

https://gensh.honeyhunterworld.com/audio/dialogue/wav/401912261_en.ogg

Why is the sky fake? Is Teyvat hidden away from the rest of the universe?

>>715076942
I'm curious about how they'll handle the game after the main story is over. Do you think they'll do another story?

>>715076358
Did you somehow forget that one of the quests in 1.0 has FUCKING LASER GRIDS protecting a fucking lyre, and another explicity utilizes a high tech mass production FACTORY as a plot element in 1.1? The tech was always there, not even including 1.2 and 1.3 where zhongli fixes a rocket laser ballista and ningguan drives a ghetto deathstar into a gods skull at the expense of Liyue taxpayers

>>715077020

I had a shock when I saw who was voicing Nahida. She looks like the exact opposite of the character until she starts speaking.

y-you think Skirk's fin is sensitive to the touch...?

>>715077326
My bet is that the rest of the universe has gone or is slowly going kaput, and Teyvat is one of the few remaining planets with life in it. The space outside Teyvat looks very red for some reason, and the fake sky seems to camouflage the planet both ways (at least if going by Skirk's trailer), maybe in order to hide the planet from a bigger cosmic threat.

>>715077837
can't blame them given the state of the Christian church

>>715077326
Teyvat is a real place, not a simulation, according to recent lore. The Taoist Heavens just built a wall and made the dragons pay for it.

>>715007035
>she wasn't even in sag

those are lore accurate, her ingame model is gimped by technical limitations

>>715078323
you forget the fact that she is a far left marxist activist, shes that delusional that she would fuck it up for the "greater good"
people who think she was fired are just coping, she left as she said she would, chinks dont give a fuck as proven that they didnt replace half the cast

>>715078612
>she left as she said she would
>keq made no such claim, yet also got replaced at the same time

>>715078128
"Teyvat" meaning "The Arc" and the whole gnostic imagery, it's more likely that outside world is living in constant battle with Abyss.
Teyvat is just this small paradise that's shielded from it, but in return denies the people their right of leaving.
"It's so great here, why would you ever want to leave?"
God-mandated freedom
A contract between Teyvat humanity and "the gods"
An unchanging eternity in heaven
Where the virtue of knowledge becomes a deadly sin
Controlled by sinners, who now judge everything
And who created it by killing the original inhabitants (dragons) of this paradise

The whale is a world killer, the twins' world was also destroyed, etc. but Surtralogi himself still wanders the stars, it's not like he's got nowhere to go but back to Teyvat.

aren't they turning mare jivari into a beach resort

>>715080925
Yep. A permanent beach resort at that.

>>715075658
In the Chasm quest Zhiqiong mentions "crossing the Rubicon", Paimon ask what it means and Zhiqiong says she's not sure but it's something Alice wrote in her Teyvat Travel Guide.

>never gonna get Capitano

>>715081287
Alice has definitely seen Earth but she's got those elf ears and lifetime to her so it's more like she's been able to look at Earth with her magic but otherwise is a powerful Teyvattian.

She also tried to bring idol groups (Barbara being the leftover), rock concerts (Shinen) and other things from Earth to Teyvat.
Her storybook had trains (there are no trains in Teyvat), gave her kid a walkie-talkie to talk to her, had gramophones play music on the island. The genie bottle of her friend had rollercoasters and ferris wheels.
She is obviously written as a witch that knows about modern human culture.

Shinto is, and always has been, what magicians, alchemists and the like were to European Christianity.
"Shinto shrines" with priests and shit become a thing during late Edo period strictly copying the buddhist shit but saying "fuckers tell you about how to prepare for your death but fuck that, if you pay me I will cure your kid and make you rich in this life". Then the Meiji government went all nazi on it, did a cultural revolution on Buddhism and reinvented this as state religion out of whole cloth.
Japanese (outside of the few who participate in international research) just pretend they had a religion the same way Chinese pretend nothing happened at Tianmen Square. It's all modern politics (read up on the problem with gov. funding of shinto rites vis-a-vis Japanese constitution, all the lobbying there, etc.) and dark history they'd prefer didn't interfere with tourist spending and otherwise very enjoyable public events that the rest of the world quietly envies.
