Is it true that the new Abyss is a Skirk/Coffee check?

yes

Yes

I want to go to Titty Isle.

I can't watch the stream, we're getting a new summer area I assume?

OHHHHHH T_T

>>715792540
no you are getting a permanent area

>>715792540
Yes but they made it permanent this time.

New character

>>715793546
it's layla's mom

OH MY GOD
it's a nothingburger

>>715790302 (OP)
I don't give a shit, tranny. I have horses to fuck.

New Yelan skin

>>715792540
Summer island that's permanent but with temporary summer events. Who knows what the summer island will have after 5.8. I'm guessing just Pyroculus and whatnot.

We're also getting a small portion of Mare Jivari, not the whole thing. Apparently there's 2 of them.

>>715793698
>kaeya cosplay
yet again I skip the 5 star skin
I've yet to get ONE of them
they all suck

>>715793698
I am honestly getting tired of Hoyo character design...

>>715793698
Finally some Yelan love

>>715793546
Why does she look like Chasca with her makeup off?

CODES?

>>715793698
The only 2 skin that I consider good kind of skin is Kell and Ayaka.
Both skin have a completely different theme and aesthetic than their original outfit.

Everybody else is just fancier outfit with no rhyme or reason.

I was honestly expecting more Nod-Krai characters to get revealed. Instead of revealing 3 like in 4.8, they only revealed 1 in 5.8.

I'm guessing Hoyo doesn't care about Varka getting leaked. They're saving him for the 6.0 trailer.

where the FUCK is mare jivari?

I fucking PRAY TO GOD that this isn't the Fae Queen.

Her design looks ASS!

>>715794445
I'm not a fucking Indian where I need to drool and bend over every bob and vagene I see, this design is dreadful. It's like wuwa's leftovers.

>>715794670
Nigga, you can select a higher quality video to take screenshots from.

>>715794670
it's like a star rail wuwa spawn
I hate it

>>715793885
They do have good designs, they just don't use them in Genshin.

I mean, look at this, we've got notAegis (looks okay, but come on, it's just aping Persona), arknights dragon reject >>715793546 and whatever the hell this is >>715792829.

As far as character design goes, it's very much set as
ZZZ > Genshin > Honkai > Star Rail

Also, Yupeng Chen has just uploaded a new vid of his summer-themed place in some netEase MMO.

>>715794670
This is a Wuwa screenshot

She's Dendro

>>715794892
The game went to shit the moment they lost YPC
Coincidence? Don't think so

>>715793546
is this chasca's sister or something?

ugly but high meme potential like chasca

Pink loli Anus looks fine, but she doesn't seem to fit Genshin.

>>715795049
i don't think any character since natlan started looked like it belonged in genshin, they all look like ripof's from other games

>>715794918
Cant wait for the mods

>>715795129
I think they all look fine except Chasca. She's ugly. I'm fine with Mavuika too and her biker suit.

Deer lady looks bad, but not as bad as Chasca still.

>>715794670
>>715794918
oh wow, her tits look huge, like pre nerf rosaria

>>715795259
i guess we just don't have the same opinion then.
deer girl looks like chasca if she tried to dress like a whore
her face is vile and her outfit is just vulgar, i see no appeal.

and this is without talking about design as in function, a good philosophy is that a character's appearance should tell you about their personality/activities, this girl's outfit is really just slutty to be slutty, so much for a priestess

off model garbage
bring back real women to genshin
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lauma

>>715795428
>and this is without talking about design as in function, a good philosophy is that a character's appearance should tell you about their personality/activities, this girl's outfit is really just slutty to be slutty, so much for a priestess
They take too much feedback from Chinks and are copying wuwa shit now, sad to see.

>>715795296
China's been relaxing their gaymen laws lately, since they realized that games can be a great cultural export. Even listed Hoyo as one of their "greatest corps". I feel like if Genshin was to release now, Rosaria's tits wouldn't be nerfed and Mona's outfit wouldn't have to be changed.

>>715794593
you just know

>>715795509
i still think the censorship was done just because the ccp wanted to remind mihoyo who is really in charge and that their international success didn't go to their head

>>715794918
>dendro
>in the cryo region
>chascaface
holy brickerino

>>715795504
wuwa is so fucking shit, dropped that kusoge after 40 minutes

>>715795428
>this girl's outfit is really just slutty to be slutty, so much for a priestess

She's supposed to be a fae of some sort, so it makes "sense" for her to be scantily clad and have a wispy and willowy dress. Faes are depicted as either naked or wear transcalent clothing, so I don't fault her for being "sexy". But because Genshin uses the same body models and their faces look all the same, it clashes so hard with her clothing. That's what I'm taking issue with here.

We both hate it for different reasons, I suppose.

>>715795509
>China's been relaxing their gaymen laws

Yet we get one of the worse sfw bikini in gaming history, ever.
16+ rating in China btw.

>>715795296
1.2 Rosaria is all about them torpedo tits anon, not just the size.

>>715795689
your point makes sense, guess i was wrong about her outfit, but i still thing she is ugly as sin

>>715795762
vgh
white man's destiny cruelly stolen

>>715795689
>She's supposed to be a fae of some sort
She's a priestess, has a Finnish name, and turns into a deer. She's a Frostmoon Scion, not a fae.

So I guess each version 1 or 2 factions that are currently active in nod krai will be introduced?

>>715796054
>Fairy/Woodland Spirit:
>In Latvian and Lithuanian mythology, Lauma (or Laumė) is a benevolent spirit, often depicted as a beautiful woman with long hair, living near water or stones.

We're getting a robutt?

>>715794079
kuki's kukis

>>715796054
aren't frostmoon scions and the fae tied to each other? from the teaser in 5.7 livestream

Genshin needs some ZZZ character designers. Maybe get waterkuma to design some lolis, or redesign Anus.

>>715796369
No.

>>715796369
play zzz if you want zzz designs pedobro

>>715796414
ZZZ sucks tho.

>>715796452
well if the game sucks why do you want to turn genshin into a copy of it?

>>715796124
Yeah, they're definitely making Nod Kraj an ensemble of several stories and peoples which don't fit together like with Natlan.

>>715796054
>has a Finnish name
It's funny because you can instantly tell they completely forgot about Ukko.

>>715796515
This but wuwa.
Why are we getting discount wuwaslop designs?

>>715795762
I was gonna say 'rosaria size but less derpy', but I held back in respect of what we lost

PLEASE don't let Lauma be the Fae Queen.

>>715796604
you will hop on spiritual centaur feet and enjoy it

This seemed underwhelming. Saving patch, I guess.

Can we talk about how BAD Yelan's skin is?

Why does Bennet have a better skin?

>dendro woman from Frostmoon Scion
>please dont be the Fae queen
you niggas might be retarded

>>715794918
I skip.

>>715796726
They're both equally dull, actually.

What an ugly Lithuanian fairy/fae.

Hope she comes early so I can skip the fairy queen.

interesting how we're getting archon quests outside of the initial patches now, I hope we have some time after all regions are implemented for big world events spanning multiple nations

>>715796958
Hoyo realized how the average Genshin player is retarded and don't read, so they're filling up patches with Archon Quests to pump everybody full of lore. I expect this will go on for the duration of 6.X before we head into Sneedhaya in 7.X proper.

I like it.

they admitted they fucked up the main story completely and so had to make up a region and slow the plan down.

>>715796939

Genshin stopped doing real ethnic inspirations in Sumeru.

What are the chances we get a special Nod-Krai 30 second teaser in the upcoming week?

>>715792829
what are you doing in genshin liz

>Aino & Lauma are both Finnish
Good news for us Finns, too bad Sandrone & Columbina are playable so I have to save for them both

>>715798565
You will never not be mentally ill.

>>715798829
You lost

>>715798969
Your obsession with thinking you "win" is coping with the fact you fail (lose) at everything in your real life.

>>715798565
Columbina's ass is not that big. She's a stick.

>>715799146
She'll have an ass that big after she visits Natlan

Haha, see how easy it is to tell who you are? It's literally never ANYONE but you shitting up these threads with self insert garbage.

Genshin will always be a self-insert game no matter how much you cry about it, ack

>>715799996
101 characters.
Not a single one has ever said "i love you" to the MC.
Your boogieman will never be real.
Your life will never not be shit no matter how hard you spam and try to validate yourself on 4chan.

Looks like they upgraded the loli model

>>715800215
ack, just because you have a mental illness (and order buttplugs from amazon) doesn't mean everyone else is

Nod-Krai characters so far

>>715800340
Wow, darken the image please, you're blinding me.

>>715800679
You, !Akemi, the Aether obsessed shitposter, is the one who buys sex toys from amazon. Your obsession with trying to damage control and constantly bring up "buttplugs" is laughably pathetic.

hope we get more canon events in nod-krai

>>715800679
You danbooru account is full of anal shit, too. And horse porn. You trying to call other people mentally ill is pure irony.

>>715801092
!Akemi is no longer here.
!Akemi has not been here for a long time, it's time to let him go, ack.

This has gotta be the largest BAZONKERS in all of Genshin.

>>715801187
But I am !Akemi...

>>715790302 (OP)
what is my wifes opinion on this new chick?

>>715801157
>>715801187
I hope you can get treated for your mental disorders and stop being obsessed with shitposting on 4chan.
Literally the only thing you do with your life is spam on 4chan.

And yes, you're still here. You never left. You just can't post with your tripcode because it's perma banned.

Not that it even matters. All that matters is that every single post you make it pure garbage.

>>715801370
ack, you have to let him go.

>>715801382
Not a fae thoughbeit.

>>715801424
You have to get over your obsession with "ack". They have never existed and will never exist.
You have to get over your obsession with trying to validate your life through shitposting on 4chan.
You have to get over your obsession with trying to pretend easily faked screen shots are proof of anything.

>>715801562
Why are you so mentally ill, though?
Why can't you just be normal?

>>715801590
No, you are ack, you are here every single day.
!Akemi, your enemy, has not been here for a long time.

>Big Reindeer Cock

How do we compete, bros? They're getting all the fae pussy...

>>715801424
Never would've expected to find ACK in a random /v/ thread. Came here for comfy slow posting only to find the biggest schizo.

>>715801672
>>715801735
As always, you try to pretend you're some kind of special exception. Which just makes you stand out even more.
>proof !Akemi ban evades and samefags
>documented proof with deletion time stamps and image hashes
>no proof "ack" exists and is just !Akemi spamming saying anyone who tells him to stop shitposting is the same person

Make sure to get your bike lady before she goes away!

>>715801717
Reindeer females have antlers

>>715801717
Caribou (reindeer) are like the only deer species where the females normally grow horns.

>>715802005
Waiting on 4 star reveal before I try building pity. I don't know why genshin announcements never include those early

Thoughts?

>>715802651
don't like the hairstyle

>>715802651

>>715802651

>>715802651
Extremely "meh".

>>715802651
>the fucking screw in her hair
lmao, what a clown
ez skip

>>715802858
we haven't had any genshin looking characters since sumeru

>>715802964
I saw that same comment yesterday and I think it's just silly. you're saying xianyun, chiori, arlecchino and ororon don't look genshin enough?

>>715797396
Lore accurate.

>>715802964
Lynette, Lyney, Freminet, disputably Chevreuse and Chiori were all fairly clearly Genshin chars. The first two being OGs, even (and not fully redesigned unlike the Natlan loli).

>>715802651
I should be happy that they're finally breaking the mould and making characters that don't blatantly look like they use the 1.0 character models but at the same time I think she's genuinely ugly
definitely not for me

>>715803213
>xianyun
Sure
>chiori
Sure
>Arlecchino
Sure
>Ororon
LOL

>>715803275
>Laumia were dangerous, especially to men. They could tickle or tweak them to death
Ahah imagine if you got tickled to death by a fairy with huge breasts wouldn't that be a silly way to die

>>715801846
Hopes and expectations for C&C in Nod-Krai?

>>715803948
ororon is just plain clothes like diluc but with an added fancy scarf and hood

>>715804016
Is this some sort of syncretism from the Russkies?
Russians and Belarussians have this myth of "rusalka" which is a female fairy that can kill people by tickling them to death.

>>715803948
NTA and I wouldn't count Ororon myself, but he does have a bit of a Temu-knockoff of Diluc wibe to him.
The same kind of boots with open tops, but anime-ified.
The same kind of belts but unbuckled.
Etc.

>>715804126
I don't discuss the game with mentally ill passive aggressive shitposters trying to gas light.

>>715804126
It's called Nod Kraj but there is no Nod and there is kraj to it.

>>715794670
We know you're a dumbass faggot, we heard you the first time.
Anyways, Chasca's hot and so is the deer girl. Loli is sexy, too. I wanna rub my dick on her massive forehead.

>>715804565
So why are you here?

>>715803275
>you can't bite her nipples without breaking your teeth
>you can't titfuck her without breaking your cock

USELESS BIG BOOBED HAG!!!

>>715804126

Sandrone was originally supposed to be an yandere but that might have been changed

>>715800215
>Not a single one has ever said "i love you" to the MC.
Klee did in GAA1. Traveler said it back, as well.

>>715801382
>the ring and most of the clothing is a texture and not moddeled
why do they keep doing this it looks so flat and ugly
just sculpt the clothes in 3D for fuck's sake

Why are we going to a literal who location instead of Sneedznaya like we were promised?

>>715804865
Bina and Sandy will both find their fates intertwined with aether

Has China ever apologized for this?

>>715804945
Nod-Krai is the southern border of Snezhnaya. The plot is being stretched out an extra year or two to milk spenders better explain existing lore

>>715804980
They have nothing to apologize for, Japan has been slacking off. Tribe Nine was made on a similar budget to Genshin and it was basically gacha Concord.

>>715804945
It sounds like a shitpost but the unironic and literal reason is that the developers publicly admitted they realised they had been dragging their feet with moving the actual story forward and way too much of the backstory was stowed away in places 95% of the players didn't care to look
After nearly five years they realised that their audience can't read their minds and know what their long term plans are, so they needed to come up with some detour region to try to wrap up the story before we head to the Snezhnaya and meet the final archon

>>715802651
>roach girl
gross where are the chibi dudes? I need an unphased swordmaster chibi 5 star like yodarha to get excited about another fucking chibi character

>>715802651

>She really doesn't look like a Genshin character.
As in she doesn't look like she's from Mondstadt or Liyue? The fuck does a "Genshin character" even look like? She fits in fine to me.

>>715805105
what's funny is how the community reacted, for years the cocksuckers kept defending the story and saying that it's prefect and if you don't like it that means you can't read...etc
but the second the video was out they were like
>omg devs listened to us
no you dumb bitch if they listened you the game would somehow be worse than it already is

>>715804935

>>715805186
>The fuck does a "Genshin character" even look like? She fits in fine to me.
nta but to me she just looks like a zzz girl
and her design is just uninspired, she is just a normal girl in normal clothing, the tail and screw stand out but that's it really.

her design doesn't tell you much about her besides maybe that she is a mechanic

>>715790302 (OP)
are genshit niggas even more mazed than wowfags?
how can you spend 30 min daily to do 4 same quests for half a decade by now?

>>715805360
canonically this was said to aether

Don't reply

>>715805374
you should update your information no one does daily quests anymore

>>715805374
>30 min daily to do 4 same quests
I quit for a few years until they removed that commission slop. Now you just burn resin in domains, plus the cap is high enough to span 24 hours.

>>715805434
yeah they only log in daily to spend their stamina which is totally not a daily quest

>>715805417
yeah the MC

>>715805374
even if you do the 4 daily commissions it's more like 5-10 minutes and you can easily skip all of them if you actually do quests to earn points to skip them

>>715804945
Retcon-Krai pisses me off

>>715804926
Klee also said that about Jean, Barbara and Keya.

>>715805360
>>715805417
Like you have been told dozens of times already, and you keep repeating yourself because you think if you ignore, it means people have to think you're a "new person".
1. She did not even say the correct phrase in Japanese that means "i love you".
2. That is a Japanese idiom and MiHoYo is a Chinese company, and in Chinese that idiom does not exist.

You try so fucking hard to lie, damage control and gas light with every single post you make.

>>715804945
They made a full half an hour long apology video over it.

>We wrote ourselves into a corner with shitty side stories.
>Now we can't finish those stories NOR the main story in a single patch, so we have to make an interlude region.
>The fact Russians are still continuing to be global pariahs probably doesn't help, but a project this big can't delay until Putin kicks the bucket. So it's probably just one of the things that pushed them to take the L and make the interlude.
>>715805034
You gotta remember that "The Final Chapter of the main story" is a brutally good money printer. One that only works for as long as people care about the story. Doing interludes like this has gotta come at a cost of thousands of potential players/spenders they'll bleed over yet another year before they get to pull that card.

>>715805528
it's still far from the 30 minutes for 4 dailies you talked about

I don't follow or read anything in this game what is xbalanque? Also shota is a sexual fetish word it's not a word for boy like otoko or shonen. You guys seem to use that word a lot it's like going around saying diaperfur when you mean man woman boy girl.

>>715805741
>a cost of thousands of potential players/spenders they'll bleed over yet another year before they get to pull that card.

they already bled most of their players with natlan, if anything nodkrai is their attempt to gain back some goodwill before snezhnaya, releasing snezhnaya in the game's current state would be a disaster, mavuika is like the biggest flop for an archon ever.

though i'm not sure if nodkrai will succeed since they are just doubling down on the things people hated (anachronic world that makes no sense and a general loss of genshin's identity)
they probably think big tits and lore relevant characters can save them, i don't think it will work out because most people didn't pick up genshin for the big tits or the lore, most people played for the open world, but i can be wrong

>>715806090
>what is xbalanque
ronova's boyfriend

>>715805934
>thought projecting
Stop being psychotic and schizophrenic. You do not speak for MiHoYo. And again, the phrase isn't even correct in Japanese.
You tried to do the same exact thing with Ayaka's birthday letter. And you were wrong there as well.

>>715806090
xbalanque was natlan's first pyro archon, he gets reincarnated in a quest by inhabiting the body of a kid

>>715790994
I did it with skirk using the purple sword/shenhi using skyward/kokomi with her sig/Mona using dodoco and did just fine
The real filter is the fat nigger at the very end. God help you if you don't have Mavika or a gigachad-Thoma who is kitted to the teeth to do 50k+ pyro farts.

>sci fi tech sloppa from here on out
cringe

>>715805816
I don't think they'll get the ZZZ team to do any more comics for us, sadly.

>>715805816
my expectations to reverse my dissapointment is too high. I'd be expecting AQs nearly every patch and map expansion at minimum every second patch

>>715806538
i still can't believe they baited everyone with a medieval fantasy game only to do a 180°
fucking hacks, and before anyone says yeah i know about sumeru and the other stuff, but there are better ways to go about technology.

one piece and naruto did it without it feeling out of place, one piece has giant mechs and naruto had an electric fridge but they still felt normal.

not like kinich's pixel dragon and mavuika's dumbass bike

>>715806710
>BTFO
some random fag's headcanon is not fact.
> So this is a day in the life of the Traveler... Hehe, I'm learning more about you all the time.
hehe, maybe try playing the game to experience the love for yourself

>>715806961
show me ayaka kissing the traveler or saying i love you without any ambiguity

>>715807016
Aether kissed Citlali though

>>715807016
Getting defensive now. You don't have to say "I love you" to be in love.

ack is pretty funny considering he rolled for Firefly aka the character whose only reason to exist is to be your girlfrind

>>715806737
Natlan tech aesthetic wasn't great but I think nod-krai looks better

So are you rolling for Ineffa? If not, which other one are you currently saving?

>>715802651
>"sorry for getting cum in your robot, kid"

>>715807476
>So are you rolling for Ineffa?
Yes, the loli and deer hag look fucking atrocious so I am going to save.

>>715807476
Rolling for either Sandrone or Columbina, depends on whose kit is more fun

>>715807476
Ask me again in a week once they probably have posted the full teaser showing more than just one character, but as it currently stands I'd rather just save everything for Columbina and the 1 or 2 other characters I'm bound to be interested in

>>715806961
The pure irony of you trying to argue "head canon" when you're the only pretend you speak for the internal thoughts of employees at MiHoYo.

>I'm learning more about you all the time.
How are you so fucking autistic that you think this implies any kind of romantic attraction? You are so devoid of human contract you think general politeness is romantic.

Blatant samefagging.

>>715807476
Waiting until the real trailer next week, but I'll probably top up $1k for her unless someone else excites me even more.

>>715807725
you are the reason this game is so awful you paypig

>>715807476
saving for Varka but she looks... interesting
not sure about the Nod Krai gimmick yet

>>715807787
Sorry but I've got $1k left to spend on my latest card in the next 3 weeks to trigger the $1k signup bonus. It has to happen or I'm leaving money on the table.

People are going to skip on Ineffa only to find out she's meta like Emilie and will be be required to complete Stygian Onslaught on Dire because she complements future characters.

>>715808069
but it has been here for a while now

>>715808069
That's not ZZZ. ZZZ lolis makes me want to commit CRIMES. Anus looks like a retarded kid/brat (that I wouldn't rape)

>>715802651
Probably going to be garbage since mihomo has a hate boner for lolis. Still going to C6 regardless of 4* or 5* because I'm a battered househusband.

>>715808186
bro aether is in a crop top

>>715807476
Columbina, Sandrone, Alice are potential picks if they have interesting kits/animations.

>>715806142
>most people played for the open world
if they only cared for exploration and not aesthetics,then they wouldn't abandon it when the most fun region with the most fun mechanics released

>>715809242
>the most fun mechanics
Sumeru had the same grappling mechanics but without the need to inhabit a pokemon. Fontaine had fun swimming mechanics that felt smoother than natlan's flight.

>>715808186
kaeya and diluc have non ripped jeans because they don't live in a shack away from others

>>715793546
Why is this character getting so much hate now? Only thing she even has in common with Chasca is hair over one eye. Is it just a bunch of anal hebefags mad that we getting a big-tiddy hag as usual?

>>715809480
retards get mad about literally anything and everything

>>715809480
boobies too big

>>715809416
I disagree, brother
swinging, digging, surfing and flying felt like a breath of fresh air for exploration that didn't feel cheap like in the other regions, while having to become pokemon makes it a much more novel experience
also the character skill switch was a great addition that should be fucking incorporated for every region and character with a movement skill

>>715809460
they're just sans culotte

>>715809824
Says something about society that we went from complaining about Rosaria's boob nerf 5 years ago to complaining about a character's boobs being that big today.

I blame Fortnite for modern day booba hate.

>>715809824
>also the character skill switch was a great addition that should be fucking incorporated for every region and character with a movement skill
agree with this part, but the pokemon were clearly a downgrade.

>>715802651
... From what region is she supposed to be?? This looks more like a ZZZ character than Genshin

>>715810712
without seeing her vision we don't know but probably nod krai/snez

>>715809824
The character skill switch is fucking awful during combat

>>715810712
>>715810825
She's from the Krumcake workshop or whatever it's called from Nod-Krai
Didn't watch the livestream but apparently has ties to Sandrone?

>>715791501
sorry, we were here >>715790945

>>715810712
>>715810908
>She's from Snezhnaya
Yeah at this point I've given up on Genshin making new characters look like they're from the region they are from. Literally NOTHING about her design/outfit says "I'm from Snezhnaya".

>>715802651
Suddenly interested in the game again.

>>715810828
yeah, they could copy wuwa and make it into a skill switch attack instead

>>715811237
show me all the snez characters outside the fatui

>>715797396
horse cock futa doujins gonna go crazy

>>715811554
Here
>Big fur coat
>Winter clothing
This is AT LEAST the theme a character from Snezhnaya (Which is supposed to be a frozen HELL according to Childe) should be like. But since most of you share a hive mind you'll pull anyways, so Genshin will continue making generic ZZZ characters because it's cheaper

>>715812062
>everyone from snez must be a fatty with a thick coat
that's all I'm getting from your picture and post

>>715812489
It's a shartyfag what do you expect.

>>715811237
>Yeah at this point I've given up on Genshin making new characters look like they're from the region they are from.
That ship has sailed a while ago, mate.

>>715812062
Same thing for the Snezhnayan witch or Childe's little brother.
So yeah, they'll get Adidas gopniks in the end.

I hope the deergirl's deer transformation has decent mobility

Thank you. I do appreciate it.

Mondo - Europe
Liyue - China
Inazuma - Japan
Sumeru - fantasyland
Fontaine - animeland
Natlan - fantasyland
Nod kraj - fantasyland

Do you guys think they'll genuinely do a Russian/East Slav inspired region with Snezhnaya? Or will they drop everything and just have a full miHoYo fantasy architecture/clothing/characters/creatures with Russian names and food?
At the very least they are still consistent with the log cabins/matryoshka dolls in the holiday artwork. And well, the game is madly popular in these places so fucking it up could get them some decent backlash... thirdies don't have history lessons worth shit to be able to tell nothing miHoYo's made in the last few years had any relation to Middle East or Latin America, but Russians are fed these things even more than is healthy. I can see them getting a pass on the obligatory cute plushie merchandise critters but not much else.

>>715812489
>>715812601

Holy fuck, unironic low IQ. Tsarevich looks like someone who lives in a cold place, >>715802651 looks like someone you just copy pasted from ZZZ to Genshin

it'll be a hodgepodge of biomes

>>715814917
>we have cartethiya at home

>>715814917
well that was quick

>>715813987
>Sumeru - India / Egypt
If I squinted very hard I could give you Egypt on Aaru since it does look somewhat genuine and the pyramids, sci-fyified as they are, are still pyrmaids.
But there's no India in the clothing/buildings/ships of Sumeru. Those buildings are a mix of Art Deco and Elves from the LotR movie trilogy. Look up Indian temples and homes. It's just a completely different world to both the Hindu or Persianate traditions that India is built on.

>Fontaine - France / Italy
You can just listen to the main art director in the initial stream, he lays it out fairly clearly. Fontaine is supposed to look like a fairytale painting. Hence those fairytale homes with crooked chimneys and mountains that literally come to a point. Fontaine's again getting a bit of Art Deco (seeing the pattern here?) architecture, then the dash of steampunk in the shacktowns.
But really this is going for a fairytale place look, not France and most definitely not Italy. The clothing is anime, fullstop. That kind of pseudo-European look that you'll never see in Europe, only Asian works about Europe that don't do any research.

>Natlan
People have been over this a million times. It's not America, Mesoanon has fairly thoroughly destroyed that notion. And it's not Africa either, you can look at photos of Mali, Zulu towns, Ethiopia, none of it looks like Natlan.
Can't tell you what they were going for with the visuals of the buildings and clothes beyond the obvious rap/hip-hop/beach/cowboy aesthetics.

People just endlessly overstate the fact they use foreign language names everywhere to mean they're pulling from those places. But they're not. For fuck's sake, half of those translations are invented in the EN localisation whereas the CN/JP/KR just coin a new fantasy word in old Chinese words.

>>715815060
Liyue - Shangai (Qing? What?)
Inazuma - Tokugawa Shogunate (No idea where you get edo Japan from)
Fontaine - animeland (if anything Normandy looks more Mondstadt kek)

did you miss the big quest where literally 2000 people die, including various npcs around the nation?

>>715815370
>Tokugawa Shogunate (No idea where you get edo Japan from)
NTA but Tokugawa Shogunate and the Edo period are the same thing.
One just uses official Japanese periodic naming while the other names the ruling house.
Same as Ashikaga Shogunate vs Muromachi period.
And Liyue's more of the whole of Southern China (Liyue is the port town like Shanghai, marshes of the Shanghai area, mountain spires of Zhangjiajie in Hunan, ancient hills with a desolate culture of Tibet, etc.) except for the Chasm, which is clearly built off of Inner Mongolia's mining industry.

>>715815812
most people that hate genshin don't even play the game, they just repeat what doomposters from other gachas say

>>715814917
arknights was a mistake

>>715815343
we're both looking at things from very different perspectives kek
I'm mainly going by the landscapes and the music. Architecture and fashion is very different from their real life counterparts, agreed.

>>715815406
So you are still here huh

Is it me are they starting to add transparency to the hair? I wonder if those devs ever do the same with the older characters too.

>>715815370
>Fontaine - animeland (if anything Normandy looks more Mondstadt kek)
...what?
Normandy is a territory in France with British influences. Same way Fontaine is based on France but has guards and other things from britain. Only issue with Normandy is that it doesn't have any italian things, like Navia's mafia inspired entourage

>>715816441
I doubt they'll bother giving all the antique models the facelift they greatly need, that seems like more of a thing they'll just try to do through outfits but then you run into the different problem where they only put out two outfits every six months lol

only golden apple islands can bring me back

>>715816482
I know what Normandy is faggot, Fontaine is a block of cement with French aesthetics AKA animeland

not even Eula's ass no matter how hard she tries

>>715816670
>I know what Normandy is faggot, it's Germany

>>715816441
looks like ningguang's dress but upgraded

>>715816641
most overrated event the game has ever seen
fags keep bringing it up because that's all they remember from their brief interaction with the game back in 2020-2021, along with mona's ass

>>715816096
>we're both looking at things from very different perspectives kek. I'm mainly going by the landscapes and the music.
Oh, yeah that's fair.

>>715816441
the longer I look at it, the less I like it
I know it's supposed to be Fontaine inspired but it looks absolutely boring compared to Furina's or Navia's clothes. That shot of her back was a fucking trap. Also, it's definitely not worth its price.
The hair is nice, though.

>>715816425

>>715818672
Heizou is memorable for being actively used in several events and a walking, talking Detective Conan reference.
The rest, yeah. Include the silver Liyue girl as well. You even forgot she exists alongside all these. Says it all, really.

>>715819030
Dahlia is a dude, anon.

how has everyone been doing in the tard wrangling event? i had a pretty easy time outside of the one freeze event where enemies have a shield only weak to plunge attacks, so difficult to get people to read and follow directions.

Speaking of thirdies, is this a side effect of all that fentanyl use over there?

>>715819731
I want to FUCK Albedo's mom!

>>715819089
My bad, I thought you meant Dehya

>>715819876
i did it like 6 times to get enough points and only once did they thought about killing the smaller hilichurls with me so that the big metachurl can be damaged

>>715819876
I am sucking and fucking like a shit

>>715819876
I've only had a couple times where people would leave and it would be 3 or 2 people sticking around. It doesn't take up that much time so it wasn't bothered by it
retards not reading about killing attendants or plunge against shields is more annoying. or plunge shield enemies that run away from the updrafts

The new area looks cool (not sure of what they're doing by making it permanent)
The new quest looks good
Ineffa is cute
Everything we saw from Nord Krai sucks

>>715819876
I had 1 or 2 bad runs otherwise it was ok. Got all primos and won't bother with the rest.

>>715819876
I got my points but the only time I seen to actually complete the challenge is if it's something easy. It just feels like everything has fuck huge health and even with the a good team comp it doesn't seem like it's even enough. The two dancing mechs I can't beat at all no matter who is with me because it wants Pneuma/Ousia stuff and nobody ever brings it

>benny and mare jivari
huh?

>>715806737
>nd before anyone says yeah i know about sumeru and the other stuff, but there are better ways to go about technology.

>>715823075
Anon, that's literally a continuation of Simulanka. Fairytale windows and doors everywhere, carton paper foliage,...

Each region so far was inspired by a real country/region. What is Nod Krai based on, if it is based on something in the first place?

>>715823774
it's still Snezhnaya territory but since it attracts people from all nations it's probably got a mix of everything

>>715823774
>Each region so far was inspired by a real country/region.
>>715816096
The names are going to come from the Baltics. The areas seem to be going for a sort of mix of random regions. A clockwork workshop (fontaine), Fatui tech base (inazuma foundry, but sci-fi), the boomshack city under oldtech ruins (Natlan), generic grasslands and hills of Mondstad and the place of the moon-whatever which looks like Dragonspine and Enkanomiya bumped uglies one night.

>>715823774
they mentioned fjords and zones from WoW and Witcher 3, so it's gonna be scandinavia, maybe finland

Genuine question. Why do so many Mexicans play this game? I would have joined European servers if I known everyone was going to speaking Spanish on the American servers.

>>715824445
Remember on april fools' when we had a genshin thread on /bant/? Most flags were from Europe.

>>715823774
scandinavia and baltic states
which makes sense considering they're close to both russia and europe

>>715823774
>What is Nod Krai based on

>>715824445
i only notice them during the multiplayer events and since your combat experience is tied to ping i wouldn't even switch given the chance

>>715824445
you would've preferred russians to mexicans?

>>715824792
You could say that.

>>715825021
You don't mean that. Not if you know that's it's just as bad or worse.

>>715824893
We've also seen the beaches, there are no fjords.
It's Howling Fjord-inspired in the sense that it's a region of a third party where both the Alliance (Sepiroth Knights) and the Horde (Fatui) will set up their own bases and interact with the local wildlife as outsiders.
>It's part of Snezhnaya!!!!111!!!
There is literally no snow in it. Kind of defeats the whole point of a nation called "Snowland".

>>715825542
Even Northrend has zones that aren't entirely covered in snow. You can't expect the entire place to be a frozen wasteland.

>>715823774
It's an amalgamation of Scandinavia and Eastern Europe with a handful of references to Celtic culture (mentioned by the devs in the stream) sprinkled in

>>715824445
Because it's free

>>715823774
>What is Nod Krai based on, if it is based on something in the first place?
Primarily Finland. Poland/Belorussia/Ukraine secondarily.

>>715824445
People living in poorer countries tend to flock to f2p games because the cost of a typical $50 purchase or even $15 a month is higher relative to their income.
Just imagine if you made $5 an hour, that $15 sub for a paid MMO would be the equivalent of paying $60 for someone in the US or Europe making $20.

I don't mind funding these games for them. Most of them are pretty chill if you can get past the language barrier.

I watched the stream.
Ineffa a cutie.
The loli and the deer hag look like shit, discount ZZZ and WuWa rejects respectively.
Guess I'm rolling the robot now.

>>715825542
if nod krai is between snezhnaya and another nation it's easy to understand it has little or no snow

>>715826008
That's not how the Genshin world works. I wouldn't be giving them even 10% of the shit I do if they had a cohesive world where the regions have some sort of idea about weather and reasonable world building around it.
The last time they gave a fuck was when they had to explicitly say that as Inazuma has no volcanos, their onsen are an import using some tech/magic to make the water hot unlike real Japan.
Then they made mountains twice as high as Dragonspine with fine grass on them and then even higher for the desert map. And rivers that flow from one and into the same ocean.

These guys give less fucks about that map than a toddler does about the internal muscelature of the monsters they doodle on paper. I'm fucking starving for a another snow region for 5 years now and they just casually avoided it again.

>>715827307
>that's not how it works

>>715827526
Well anon was proposing that the region shouldn't have snow because it's the gateway to Snezhnaya and thus the most likely place where the weather goes from normal to the frozen hellscape that Snezhnayans talk about.
I simply argued that Genshin gives absolutely no fucks and they would totally make a snow region inside of Sumeru desert if they had enough baijou during a creative session, so them dodging all snow here is just a cop-out as they once again give us some Splatoon gun or flying carpet just to avoid a simple snow region and building travel mechanics around that.

i did see a hilarious one the other day with a Neuvillette doing the rapid spin exploit and it looked like pure chaos with everyone attacking.

>>715828921
too lazy and being retarded isn't as punishing

>>715827628
who?

>>715828663
You need to be gay to forget her tho

So if I understand right, there's no Mare Jivari anymore? It simply vanished?

They were talking about it in 1.0 and there's even a loading screen tip about it...

Lilly sexo

>>715829545
she's only hot in fan art

I'm having fun except for that one challenge where you have to kill the minions first but the minions fly 30 feet into the air if you ever so much as glance at them, that one is just bullshit. No I will not be playing any anemo twinks in front of other people fuck off.

*whistles on leaf in your path*

>>715829876
why are you gay

>>715830126
lament

since I never play co-op I'm learning a lot about which shielders actually give shield to co-op teammates and which don't
why would they even make it so a shielder doesn't shield your team?

>>715830717
Greed. Why give something for free when suckers will pay $400?

>>715831034
What shitty shielder doesn't shield the entire team? I only know Zhongli but that's reasonable, he's op as it is.

>>715831034
what that makes no sense
>>715831143
I've only tried 3 shielders so far. layla shielded the others but kirara and thoma didn't

Struggling to care any more.

it's literally coming next

>>715831574
Oh yeah I remember reading Kirara's C2 and thinking wtf is the point of this, doesn't she already shield everyone by default. Looks like I was wrong.

>>715832212
>c2
I just had to check. I never held kirara's e to run into people to give them shield. I totally forgot that existed lol

>>715832381
You should be doing that to get stronger shields solo too

>>715830717
Real question is, who the fuck plays co-op outside of when the game forces you to?

>>715833049
lotta people. i know a friend who lies to join worlds just to find specific people who main characters they like just to chat with them
it gets my friend into funny RP situations

>>715829556
>So if I understand right, there's no Mare Jivari anymore?
You do not understand right. We're getting part of it in the upcoming patch, with more in later versions. I don't know how much clearer they could have made that. Are you fucking retarded?

>>715807427
I mean they're going to do another techno town of sorts so...

>>715833049
usually I'm busy so I don't let people join my world but the other day some weirdo I let in asked if I wanted to be on some gameshow I just said lol no and went back to mining after he left

Never understood why square enix went this way with final fantasy

>>715834575
Well, because for better or worse, it sells more in the west. See other jRPG franchises like Tales or Xenoblade or Persona, that certainly sell good enough numbers, but won't ever reach even a bad FF numbers. But SE does this at the cost of being good, and at the cost of sovl. And quite honestly, I doubt they recoup much of their investments even with their higher sales.
