Thread 720486745

Welcome to the Genshin thread. Dominion of the Fatui.

>>720486745 (OP)
I stopped playing when it first got popular and I beat all thr single player missions. Are there multi-player raids yet? Last time the only "multiplayer" was seeing eho can beat a challenge fastest.

hey

>>720486914
The new anecdotes are the best thing they've ever added to the game.
Characters allowed to populate the world, and go around their business? And have slice of life moments? Madness.

>>720487669
Should have been like that from day 1, with them running around like HM or RF characters.

>>720487669
>NPCs walk around areas
Officially surpassed Elden Ring and every Souls game.

>>720487981
There are people RIGHT NOW who don't have Noelle's sword stuck on Jean's office ceiling.

i am so tired of "roll for this 5* support and then the respective 5* driver".
i am so tired of "here's a zone-specific gimmick you MUST engage with if you want to kill the local bosses".
this game has gone to the fucking shitter since natlan

>>720488191
I don't even really care about that, I just cannot fucking believe there's no skip button to deal with the shitty ass 9 hour story they want you to read through

>>720488191
>i am so tired of "roll for this 5* support and then the respective 5* driver".
Eh, it's a bit more nuanced than that.
Lauma can work with any bloom and elevate older characters, but for Nefer to rise up and contest for top DPS, she needs Lauma more than Lauma needs her. Same with Ineffa, she can be played on a lot of teams, but without her Flins can't compete much with past electro DPS.
The only pair that's a hard lock really is Emilie and Kinich

>>720488174
couldn't be me

>>720488191
You're just being retarded, neither of those things are real.

>>720488409
It's always been like this. DPS characters are pretty much never better than the supports.

>>720488409
that is exactly the problem
if you don't pull both characters one of them ends up as a standard-banner tier character.

Can Nahida possess Sandrone's body?
Or is her will too strong?

>>720488540
shut up retard, plenty of drivers melt shit on their own even without a support. arlecchino and mavuika the most blatant examples

Just 90%ed all the regions and finished all the major quests. Well they finally did it. They finally lost to Wuwa. Good job, Hoyo. Great idea running a filler continent against Where Winds Meet, Duet Night Abyss, Endfield, Promilia and NTE. I'm sure this will end well

>>720488708
Mavuika can't reliably melt without Citlali

>>720488714
>Where Winds Meet, Duet Night Abyss, Endfield, Promilia and NTE.
Do any of those have release dates yet?
I need to jump ship asap

Man, Lumine is a piece of shit.
>I should've tried to spend more time with you instead of running away for 5 years!
I know they made this filler patch to tie things up, but this is a pathetic way of going about it

>>720488708
>arlecchino and mavuika the most blatant examples
By this standard so do those others. You're being retarded, shitloads of people rolled Citlali for those two.

>>720488714
My girlfriend won't be playing any of these so I don't care.

>>720488714
Genshin isn't even that good but all those are even worse. You're gonna see Genshin stay at the top while all these other shit games struggle like HSR or ZZZ.

>>720486745 (OP)
The game would be twice as good if they removed half of the dialogue. Genuinely every other sentence can be skipped without losing any of the information that is conveyed.
>game insists that you rush the archon quest
>the archon quest changes the map terrain so you can't explore it first or appreciate the change in scenery
Then why HAVE a change in scenery!? It's like the Narcissencruz tower removal situation but worse!

>>720488839
they hit hard baseline
citlali makes them hit 20% harder as a passive.
if you add 20% to a bigger number it'll make a bigger difference than adding 20% to a smaller number.
it's really not complicated. why are you being obtuse?

On my knees begging for Varka to want C6 Faruzan

>>720488801
Duet Night Abyss for October 28, Where Winds Meet for November 14. They're not actually gacha but they're F2P mobile open world action RPGs so they're all competing. I'm hoping to get hooked on WWM myself, it looks bad ass

Splendid.

Huh, I'm responding to a mongoloid.

>>720488805
Hehe.

>>720489337
Maybe I don't. I'm still playing.
Thanks for not spoiling

>>720489360
unfortunately you are not having a conversation with your bathroom mirror this time

>>720489181
Duet Night looks neat, release is sooner than expected.
Everything else I expect a Spring 2026 release.

WWM just looks like Chinese ghost of sashimi, except it's GAAS and has tiddies. I really hope it doesn't suck

>>720489832
I've been waiting for something really good to come out but none of them can seem to figure it out so it'll probably be ass. I guess they can keep getting away it.

>>720487039

>>720489957
I'm also looking forward to NTE. ToF was actually fun as shit, it was just also janky as shit. Surely THIS time can make something good

A soldier's what?

>>720486745 (OP)
What the fuck is this? She looks so low quality

i fucking can't keep going bros... why is there so much dialogue...

>>720490734

>>720490963
>look it up
>it's real
What the fuck

>>720490868
What I did is I opened a Family Guy episode and toggled the always on top switch in the player. That made pushing SPACE for 9 hours more enjoyable for me. You're not going to miss out on any story, because there's no story to miss out on. You eat a moon fragment and an ancient evil guy awakens, that's all that happens in 9 hours

>>720490868
If you don't enjoy it just don't play it?
I spaced it out over a week on my phone while walking on the mountain and had a great time.

>>720491248
>If you don't enjoy it just don't play it?
Quite a thing to say FIVE FUCKING YEARS INTO THE GAME. At this point many of us are too invested to quit, with the supposed ending just 1 year away.

>>720491140
i have autohotkey to press skip every 0.5s but it's still hours and hours of bullshit.
i am somewhat interested in archon quests because it's only 1 storyline per year and fontaine one was actually pretty engaging, but anything other than that makes me want to kill myself. especially yet another mysterious-ancient-civilizaton quests when exploring new areas, bonus point when you have to walk with Generic Adventurer/Merchant/Explorer/Sciencist #449 and he turns out to be Fatui/Treasure Hoarder at the end anyway

>>720491248
what sucks is how many areas are closed off or accessible only through world quests

>>720491361
>with the supposed ending just 1 year away.
Two. There's a Khaenri'ah chapter in Travail that everyone forgets.

>>720490963
I'd love a RPG-7

>>720491473
Eh, when Fatui story ends, game ends for me. Fatui game, Fatui dominion, Fatui universe

>>720490963
Why don't they just have them cum in a tube while they are living?

*insults you in latin*

>>720491592
Fact check: True.

Oh no, a door closed behind us and we're totally trapped!

>>720486914
whh do people censor their uid?

>>720491613
Too expensive to do it for every conscript. They're Jewish, anon.

>Game pays for the biggest names in the JP VA industry.

>"Why do they force me to listen to them talk?"
Is this your first, or perhaps the only anime JP game?
Just wait until they finally get motherfucking Sugita online with Varka. Unless he charges them an African country's worth of GDP per session, they'll have the dude running around Teyvat and broing it up with almost every single character out there for the next 10 patches, making Kazuha look like a random side character.
Just like Hu Tao gets to star in basically every Liyue event.

>>720488908
Pre-GG era /v/ would've gushed over the girls, but lambast them for desperately trying to appeal to weebs, casuals and phonefags, calling them mobage garbage and Chinese knock-offs of Korean MMOs. I'd go as far to say they'd even call the gameplay ASSFAGGOTS-tier just to piss of Dota/LoLtards.
DMCfags would've had a field day shitting on the button mashing gameplay of all the action ones.

GG era /v/ would've championed them because Feminist and SJWs would've called their portrayals of women "le sexist".

In reality it all just to show how fickle and gullible this board is.

>>720491993
for every hour of voiced dialogue there 5h of unvoiced

The Albedo trial writing is so funny in how lazy it is.

>>720486745 (OP)
Dear me, would you look at the time. It's time for you to tongue-lash me, Sandrone!

I love new en paimon
Will they replace old lines or is it only for new content?

Do I NEED need Lauma for Nefer or can I make do with something like nahida, yelan and c0 aino for the lunar buff

>come back since post-inazuma
>character building still sucks
>ton of basic qol i could think of that hasn't been done (why the hell do i still have to manually collect what comes out of chests)
lazy bastards, huh.

>>720492131
They had to throw in a second abyss and randomly threw in unfinished plot threads into the kettle to have a very amateurish plot excuse for it. Yeah.

>>720492369
>why the hell do i still have to manually collect what comes out of chests
Shiny shit dropping on the floor = dopamine, Diablo and Path of Exile style. It used to be for domain artifacts too, but they could be pushed into the void so they changed it.
Chests near cliffs automatically add everything to your inventory so it's an intentional choice.

>>720492381
Well I'm not that far yet.

>>720492547
not like treasure is worth much

>>720491763
Honestly does Hoyo even understand how vital Fatui are to the story? When their arc ends, Genshin will be left with nothing but gay ass abyss abominations. I mean just look at this guy. That's not a compelling villain, that's a homosexual man. Without Fatui, how can Genshin even survive

>>720492369
>(why the hell do i still have to manually collect what comes out of chests)
People like you are the reason old platformer studios died. It's a very simple and minor interaction, but simple shit like that is what makes a game click for people.
Just like the joy of smashing up crates alongside whatever other treasure this or that 3D collectathon game threw at you before idiots decided smashable crates are a hindrance and found themselves selling shit-all, then selling themselves off to the third person cover based shooter Satan.

>>720492893
in collectathons the shit you pick up is worth something, I'm not getting dopamine from a stupid ass 1* sword and artifact.

>>720492751
>Honestly does Hoyo even understand how vital Fatui are to the story?
They don't really understand what exactly people see as the main story (things that Plain Jane expects to get answers to at the end of the journey) so no, they don't.
Though they are aware that a new enemy will need to take the Fatui's place. Or they make Fatui 2.0 after some plot twist.

>>720492131
>introduce literally all the relevant background plot context in permanently missable limited time events few years back
>make the finale of all those plot threads a mandatory part of the main quest
>"ehh, just put it between some Natlan chapters I don't know lol"
Bravissimo, Hoyo.

>>720492893
Nah, opening the chest is the big hit. Everything inside it you should get automatically. The chest is the chest. You can't micromanage it. Just clicking on the chest is supposed to make me cum

>>720493185
>"ehh, just put it between some Natlan chapters I don't know lol"
Interludes are sort of disconnected from the timeline, but not really. Scaramouche's interlude was optional for a while but then became mandatory for progression, it'll be the same here.

>>720493173
Tsaritsa should use her new archon powers to conquer Celestia and make Fatui an interstellar organization. Then introduce them into both HSR and ZZZ because both would be improved by the addition of Fatui. Especially ZZZ, it's in desperate need of a villain faction

So why did the twins travel?
i forgot

>>720493495
I have terminal collabslop fatigue, let's not.

>>720493572
They went to sex tourism planet Teyvat

>>720492301
Yeah they will replace everything eventually. That new va will be busy.

>>720493572
Type shit.

>>720493572
the abyss sibling wants to rebuild khanriah with the loom of fate, because he/she feels bad for abandoning them to see thier sibling. You want to understand what his problem is and see why he came to this conclusion.

Act 1 was really great, Act 2 was a bit worse, back to the standard Genshin fare, cynically speaking it's really funny to watch how much they push Columbina because I've seen them do this multiple times in different games and their methods haven't really changed.
I haven't really explored much but the map is very small and the oculis are literally ten steps away from one another it's really weird.
The music is also really bad.

>>720492316
Nefer is very mediocre without Lauma as she is now, with Lauma she's among the strongest teams. It's worse than Mavuika without Citlali who had overload teams, it's worse even than Flins without Ineffa.

>>720493815
>The music is also really bad
I liked your post until that point.

>>720490868
Because it's a filler region. They AI'd their dialogue to prolong the experience.

>>720493815
>how much they push Columbina
Honestly I expected them to, but they didn't. She barely says anything, barely does anything, barely fucking moves. Even Ayanami Rei had that scene where Shinji grabs her boob. This one gets nothing, just sits there like an autismo flashing her toes, as if that's good enough. Bitch do something

>>720493997
>filler
Motherfucker, they explicitly wanted more shit to happen faster so they can jog to endgame conflicts, how is it filler?

>>720494032
She saves (You), holds hands with (You) and when you go back to her femcel cave she pops behind you and gives you backshots

>>720493572
Their own civilisation was destroyed so they had nothing better to do.

Better than Skirk whose idea of what to do is to play masochist teacher for random shotas she abducts every now and then.

>characters constellations are reflected on teleport waypoints on the map
Blew my mind when I found that out.

>>720494032

>>720493815
Alright thank. I try to fish for her c0.
Should have enough for Nefer unless I'm a lucklet and get 90-qiqi-90'd

>>720494616
>not like some space aliens would
Skirk has established that aliens don't really look all that different.
And even if you ignore the fact that Albedo does confirm Tabibito is a non-human, and they're effectively immortal, and... there's also the problem that humans are also alien to Teyvat.
If I remember the Enka lore correctly, they were brought to the world on some arc, hence why dragons hate their shit.

>>720494891
I should note Laumaless Nefer is probably good enough for Abyss but if you wanna do higher Stygian that might be a problem

>>720495030
>humans are also alien to Teyvat.
>If I remember the Enka lore correctly, they were brought to the world on some arc
Humans and the human realm were created by the Primordial One after they conquered Teyvat.

>Lauma

>Aino
Would roll if they didn't give her to me. She cute

>>720495030
>Skirk has established that aliens don't really look all that different
Skirk also established that the Voyager was cataloguing "vertebrate lifeforms" near Teyvat, and there wouldn't be the need to make this distinction if they were all humanoid, she could have been a space squid or something.
>>720495312
>were created by the Primordial One after they conquered Teyvat.
...according to an in-universe religious text, Before Sun and Moon isn't necessarily completely accurate.

still no high res textures
still no hdr
still no 120 fps

>>720495395
>probably not even playable
Confirmed playable, she has an ID like all playable characters, but listed like 9 spots after Nefer so who knows when she's releasing.

im glad im not playing this anymore, the people telling me to stop playing cause I dont enjoy the dialogue were right

>>720488191
Can you even play Ganyu anymore? I remember being able to 36* the abyss with her but I feel like she wouldn't do anything even at c6 nowadays.

>>720495602
>still no high res textures
I use a mod for higher resolution textures only for playable characters and important NPCs and it's 150 fucking gigabytes extra
>still no hdr
It supports native Windows HDR, but you need to edit a registry flag, but only once
>still no 120 fps
I've been playing at 144fps for years I forgot how it is without it

>>720495675
see you tomorrow

>>720495602
>high res textures
Game will be like 350GB at this rate

>>720495946
>I use a mod for higher resolution textures only for playable characters and important NPCs and it's 150 fucking gigabytes extra

I know that one, it's not always up to date and as you've described it's a fucking chore to download this shit takes as much space as a skyrim modlist

>>720495713
escoffier buffed cryo
add furina to the mix and any cryo can clear it, ganyu included

>need to do dailies for over a month for 1 (uno) const
Nah I'm good, I'm done with the patch, I'll be back in two weeks for whatever events you have on, thanks

>>720496052
>this shit takes as much space as a skyrim modlist
If they added an official "higher res texture pack" it would also take a fuckton of space, it s a huge game and compression can only take you so far. PC is already 100 gigs compared to mobile's 30 because of more effects and higher res textures.

>>720496146
Dailies? Who does those?

>>720496306
Resin runs are dailies too bro, you're living in denial. It's not just commissions

>>720496262
How much is it on PS5, anyway? Since they used to have normal textures as a part of their exclusivity deal.

>>720496396
Same as PC, I think 120GB this patch.

>>720495602
Wait for Switch 2 version

>>720496262
wuwa weights like 70gb
hell, there are tons of regular open world games with higher res textures that weight less
the game has much higher res everything on ps5 and it weighs like 110gig, I remember taking screens on it, pic rel is one of them
but playing this game on console isn't comfy at all and the PC version is downright awful to look at, draw distance aside

>>720486745 (OP)
So the Fatui were the good guys all along?

>>720496590
>uwa weights like 70gb
>hell, there are tons of regular open world games with higher res textures that weight less
Way smaller games, and way newer with less material added so far. Genshin at launch on PC was less than 30GB. You underestimate how fucking huge Genshin is after years of slowly grinding down its content, how many textures and models and voiced material is there, and that's with limited events having their data purged to save space

>>720496667
Depends. They all seem to have their own disparate agendas only tangentially related to the Tsaritsa (and most likely Pierro's) plan.
Now, is the plan to oppose the CEO of Taoism in the sky a good idea? It's a cruel regime founded on deception and false dogma, but everyone in history that tried to oppose it ended up destroying themselves before they could even be nailed, so maybe there's a reason they are very cruel to the uppity goyim and protecting them from looking behind the curtain. Who knows really?

>>720496747
There is a 10gb difference between PS5 and PC for infinitely better texture
I mean, just look at this shit

just release an optional high res texture pack for players who want them, many games do this

>>720496667
The Fatui are dicks, but the Abyss are assholes.

>>720496943
I do not think that this is true. I've played Genshin on PS5 and mt PC recently, and when maxed out they look identical except the PS5 has shorter draw distance. The only difference is the volumetric clouds which I don't really like.

There was an infamous bug that would force low quality blurry LODs on some PCs which created the "PS5 has better textures" myth but I think it's been fixed.

>>720497179
That would make any Fatui who goes to Abyss extremely gay.

>>720497458
>I've played Genshin on PS5 and mt PC recently, and when maxed out they look identical
You blind? The textures when you zoom into characters like >>720496943
look like shit on PC and really good on PS5.

>>720497458
Characters look VASTLY better on PS5, just compare them bro it's night and day

>>720495312
Dragon sources state that Heavenly Principles brought humans with it.

>>720489142
they dont care about creating a good story in genshit, they just use bloated dialog to increase engagement metrics because normie cattle like women and children have zero standards and will still play that garbage

>>720498036
you know what? khanrians, dragons they all can suck it, since I'm human I'm siding with the shades -rheindottir.

>>720486745 (OP)
Thanks, I hate it.

>>720497894
Along with horrendous pop in and capped framerate.
They should just implement the volumetric clouds and LODs on PC, back when the devkit leaked it showed a ton of graphical options fully implemented but inaccessible to players for some reason.

>>720498285
Yet you engaged with the thread.

why are FATui men so obese?

man I hope her gameplay is good

>>720499403
shes very rapeable

So, where's the graphic upgrade? I dont see a reasons this game is unplayable on PS4.

>>720499736
fuck just read she is 4-star, is this real? I'm gonna kms

>>720492131
Still waiting for Albedo's VA to actually voice it

>>720499826
Lighting/shading is better in cutscenes, thats it.
I anything I think the new region is the worse looking of the lot. It lacks coherence from a style point of view (the celtic theme doesnt blend with the shitty steampunk shacks)

>>720488191
>still rolling for c0s that get powercreept, forcing you to roll another character over and over
save and roll c6 support so you have dps and support in 1. Stop falling for FOTM.

In fontaine you learn that she didnt want to be your enemy and personally torture a person who backstabbed you to the point where the guy ended up being vegetable for the rest of his life; in natlan you messed up with her mission to uncover some dragon technology/project and killing her puppet with that wall-thing, but instead of giving the same treatment to the guy in fontaine (who was also messing up with her research project) she just waved it off and 'forgive' you while playing tough by threatening you to not interfere with fatui operation in nod krai; then, later on, you literally infiltrate her base, messing up with some of the security system in there, and get yourself to the most top secret room inside that place before confronting her by yourself and accusing her of stealing some frostmoon scion relic and she just gave it away to you, while telling you that she's not the one who want to stole frostmoon scions ancient relic (again, avoiding herself to be in conflict with you); then later later on, when you got cornered by rerir, she showed up to help you before all of you got helped by columbina, in which she ended up being mad at columbina because it was the only chance for her to actually show herself to traveler that she's actually strong and capable of fighting and stuff but she failed to do so because basedbina prioritize safety over some shonen show off

>>720501530
Sandrone is not playing all her cards yet, she gave away the moon piece to take attention off herself.
I'll be very upset if she doesn't get a good questline on time for her release exploring her past, they teased Mary Ann in Hyperborea but not everyone did that questline.

>>720500528

Based tsundere clanker.

>>720493815
I thought Act 1 was "really great"? you must be talking about in comparison to other genshin quests right? because that was mediocre plain and simple, I think its one of the weakest region introductions we've ever had

>>720501530
If she's actually a tsundere that likes the traveler it'll be a lot more interesting than my first impression of her, she was just a generic loudmouth "evil" character that thinks she's hot shit, really weak introduction. The only bad thing about people liking the traveler in this game is that the traveler themselves are just utterly pathetic protagonists, like actually the worst ones in the entire genre, I haven't ever seen such a bad case of a half assed main character even in this industry, its genuinely bad how boring and undeserving of literally any attention they are

DON'T FORGET

>>720502001
You know what anon, ever since we met sandrone, the idea of her being mary ann or alain feels weird, as if she was completely disconnected from both of them aside from several theory that maybe she was built by alain and she was modelled after mary ann. But other than that, she seems to be a different being that have nothing to do with either alain or mary ann at all.

>>720502479
>its one of the weakest region introductions we've ever had
did you forget about the funeral ingredients shop list of liyue?
or let's help ayaka because she's our new friend in inazuma?

>>720503417
I said its one of the weakest, its not the weakest one but it was still quite shit, Ineffa is so fucking boring it hurts, Paimon is way too present which automatically makes it shittier and the presentation is just once again shit with barely any new animations and powerpoint presentation camera transitions and boring predictable dialogue, its just standard genshin slop

>>720503338
Sandrone not being related to Mary Ann would be the biggest red herring in sny videogame I remember. We learned basically nothing about Sandrone so far in Nod Krai except her demeanor.

>>720503338
but it really can't just be a coincidence that she looks just like her >>720503193. Either Alain is still around in a machine body maybe even inside pulonia or Sanrone is an AI made to carry on his legacy taught by him or it has all his knowlage inscribed into it.

>no new element for traveler yet
sad

>>720491904
*laughs*

Im skipping all the dialogs. All this shit feels like filler content.

>>720503654
NTA and I disagree with basically everything so good luck to you

>>720503873
Of course you do, you've been conditioned to like garbage, I'm just waiting for a gacha that doesn't suck complete shit or is uninspired like wuwa so I can drop this mediocre ass game

>>720503654
>Paimon is way too present
I only did act 1 but she was barely present compared to other quests. We even left her and traveled alone for a while.

>>720503662
>>720503704
Yeah.. i mean of course she was build by alain and was modelled after mary ann. But the theory that was circulating in community is that alain is sandrone or mary ann is sandrone (the latter is proven to be false since we met mary ann, or her consciousness, in narcizzen quest), i think that sandrone is a completely different being than those two, maybe she was a sentient AI

>>720503958
Ineffa is a cutie and I love her
New expressions and animations were very noticeable on Jahoda for some reason, she must be someone's favourite.
Music is great, getting most of the cast involved was great, Rerir was cool, I'm just annoyed Varka wasn't present yet.

>>720504003
>alain is sandrone
I've only heard of this as a shitpost. At best he could have put his consciousness in Pulonia to protect his robot sister clone but even that is a stretch.
>mary ann is sandrone
Mary-Ann schizomerged with Lyris, so that can't be true either.
But Sandrone being made by Alain is as good as confirmed at this point

>>720504003
>maybe she was a sentient AI
This is what seems to be the case, since Scaramouche and Ineffa prove that artificial entities can gain sentience and even have something close enough to a "soul", at least enough to gain a vision/moonwheel.
I don't think it's a huge deal if Alain is Sandrone though; Cagliostro has been one of Grub's core mascots forever now and people usually take his antics in stride.

>>720504203
>he could have put his consciousness in Pulonia to protect his robot sister clone
That was my theory since Fontaine.

>>720504203
>>720504382
I think i read somewhere that alain last research have something to do with giving robot meka a consciousness, some kind of e=mc2+ai type of stuff

>>720504073

Categorically correct.

>>720504491
>Excuse me, but the activity you just described as "high intensity clanking" would not be possible, since no such component has been installed to my chassis

Anon, they literally decided to prepare people for no Abyssal element on Dainsleif by randomly adding Skirk at this point in the story.
And all she does is "using the Khaenrian technique to masquerade her abyssal power as cryo".
The fact they made it a point to name-drop it as a Khaenrian technique all but guarantees Dainsleif will just get a normal element like everyone else.

I wonder if we're going to get some weird traveler lunar capability or if we'll be cryo-less until snezhnaya proper

>>720504820
I'd like a lunar buffed version of every element because all of them suck ass

>>720504786
which is so stupid since the lunar bullshit could have been abyssal reactions instead. if lauma (not her specifically but for the sake of example) was abyssal dendro and lunar bloom was abyssal bloom it would be more kino.

>>720503729
we'll be lucky to even get powerups (maybe lunar reactions?) for the useless brick that is the traveler

Thank you for your insightful post Miss Chiori.

Also, is it just me, or did the sound team start incorporating movie letimotifs into their music?
The Fire dragon city music sounded eerily familiar but I'm not sure if it was directly the leitmotif of Dinotopia or some other "advanced civilisation" movie/show of the 2000s like Disney's Atlantis.
Nasha Town sounds eerily familiar to something I heard in Monkey Island games.
Sandrone's rocket barrage has the bagpipe intro from Battlestar Galactica's scene where another battleship warps in and saves Galactica with an unexpected barrage into the Cylon ships.

Up until now I could only hear Final Fantasy in the login screen and some inspiration in Pirates of the Carribean in Enkanomiya.

I think anon is picking up on the Night Elf influence? Lauma's clothes, the obsession with lunar everything, Lauma herself being a full-on druid. Except instead of East Asian architecture, the buildings are in the United Civilisation style.
The bit of modern world inspiration in them I'd say are those hair veils on their women. I don't remember Warcraft or generic fantasy adopting that sort of thing much and here it does seem to be inspired by stuff like the head pieces in >pic related.

Now they just need to return the 1.0 quality of NPCs.
Where people actually go to sleep, stargazing with their crush, actually go out to gather ingredients, et cetera.
They really put in a tons more effort into the world in 1.0 than they do today. Though the anecdotes as well as clear intent to rationalise things we encounter more are a step in the right direction.

A little. They adjusted things so that the difference isn't that big. It's actually very minor.

>>720516571

>>720516614
I've heard the same, which is why I was leaning towards Keqing, Yae or Ineffa.

>>720516304
Clorinde perhaps?
Fairly strong on the baseline, and aggravate should scale decently.

>>720517073
I did consider it, but decided to go with Keka who could use the buff more and Ineffa since she obviously benefits hugely from it. Chasca was my last pick just for fun.

I have 1 more masterless fortuna left, so I'll do Clorinde next when I get lose another 2 coinflips.

Morning/night NPCs still exist. There's even a guy farting around outside of one of the lifts at night that complains he can't take his girlfriend out because he's got a night shift working watching over the lift and can't comprehend going to the Flagship in the morning, while if you go there in the morning it's just a random guy watching the lift.

So the Five Sinners are abyssal counterparts to the Heavenly Principles and the Shades, huh?

Vedrfolnir - Time, Rhinedottr - Life, Rerir - Death, Surtalogi - Space, and Hroptatyr - Reason/Heavenly Principles

>>720492751
>Without Fatui, how can Genshin even survive
They've literally spent the entirety of its story building up the Abyss as the main threat. In case you haven't noticed even from early on (We're talking Liyue here) the Fatui are morally grey for the most part and do evil stuff in the name of the Tsarista (Barring the Doctor) who has been revealed to seemingly hate Celestia and the system they are all stuck in which just further gets expanded upon each region. Even in Nod-Krai you have them letting Columbina be, Sandrone not really caring about keeping the Marrow, and basically that Spurdo meme of "Freedom ain't free" being the Tsarista's motto apparently.

The sibling is seemingly in line with the Tsarista's mindset they're just going about their goals in different ways and they're using the sibling, Skirk, and Dain as a way to show you the Abyss isn't truly evil either but more of a matter of perspective. It's an all-encroaching plague upon the land but can be harnessed responsibly.

>>720518989
Seems like it, it would also explain how Surtalogi can world hop without a ship.

>>720507106
FGO doesn't have a PC client this is just mobile

also the numbers are completely made up and they admit it in the methodology

been wondering about how aether and lumine talk to each other. that's not how siblings talk to each other. these two talk as if they want to smother each other, desiring each other bodies, and want to copulate rather than being an actual siblings with sibling interaction

>>720518989
Seems like it. Which seems to imply that the true purpose of the plan wasn't just to destroy the gods, but to become gods themselves. So rather than being freedom fighters who sought to overturn the gods' oppression, the Khaenri'an nobility were just jealous of the gods.

>>720521572
It's a Khaenri'ahn Sinner pretended to be the Sibling all this time.

>>720521572
It's slightly odd, but eh. It wouldn't be the first time Asians depicted sibling relationships that way. Still, I have a hard time shipping them. I don't actually like the Abyss sibling much.

I've noticed in regards to both Genshin and ZZZ that people just ship the siblings purely as a matter of course, just because they find incest hot. But I don't like the Abyss sibling and I don't like Wise so it's hard for me to relate. I never understood the idea of shipping a pair of characters when you don't necessarily even like both/either of them. Then again, maybe you guys actually like the Abyss sibling and I'm just projecting.

>>720516304
>>720518447
>lvl100
wait, since when you can go up to lvl100?

>>720522474
Since a few days ago. When you collect more than six constellations for a character, each successive extra copy will get you an item that lets you break the level cap. You need one of those items to reach level 95 and two more to reach level 100.

People bitched due to the stringent requirements, but only now do we realize exactly why it's like that. Level 100 is largely useless. It's pure flex.

>>720522474
This patch. It's essentially a whale-only thing because you need to go past C6 to get the upgrade material.
Every upgrade past C6 gets you 1 upgrade. 1 upgrade takes you to 95 and then 95 to 100 takes two of them from what I understand.

Unless you have lost basically every 50/50 and it's been constantly hitting the original Standard characters I have no idea how you have these things even if you're a day one. I started on 2.4 I think it was and have bought BP + Welkin ever since I started and the highest one I have is C4 Kek.

>>720522641

the fuck is this shit? new element?

>>720486745 (OP)
1! 2! 3! 4!
FATUI DOGS CAN LICK THE FLOOR!

>>720522979
New mechanic. New 6.x 5-stars will be capable of Lunar-charged reactions. Think of it as Nod-Krai's equivalent to Fontaine's Arkhe, or Natlan's Nightsoul. It's generally more practical than either though. It's not a massive game changer, but a few older characters benefit from it, especially Electro and Dendro.

>>720522896
Hydro and Electro characters benefited a ton from the past two patches since you can pair any one of those DPS with Ineffa+Lauma for great results. Keqing didn't get particularly stronger, but supports are the name of this game anyways so it's a great time for her.

>>720488714
Is it worse than Natlan at the start? Thinking of trying but Natlan made me drop. I miss Fontaine

>>720522979
When Nod-Krai 5*s make elemental reactions they have a different effect and buff.

>>720523224
kek, so the new mechanics are locked by 5*? This is fucking dogshit.
Mihoyo is getting lazy

>>720523290
That's how they've been since Natlan. Natlan's entire exploration buff was solely tied to the 5*s and if you didn't have them you had to use the animals. These buffs themselves aren't super huge enormous gamechanging things, it just lets you do stuff like have a thundercloud strike the enemy for Lunar-Charged instead of just being a DoT electric effect, and Lunar-Bloom buffs the damage of the Blooms in all their combinations causing them to do like 10% more damage and crit.

fuck, i dont know if i should give the stella to my nilou for my Dendro team (OG nahida comp, no Lauma). The rest of the characters are not even that great.

>>720523290
5-stars are the main Drivers of Lunar reactions, while 4-stars seem to exist as Lunar supports. We only know one 4-star's kit right now though. It looks like Mihoyo's completely given up on the idea of making 4-stars the main drivers of anything.

>>720523513
they are doing the same shit as Honkai Star Rail and soon the same shit in ZZZ and their new pokemon game.

>>720523445
Nilou is one of the characters who benefits the most, although I'd highly recommend rolling for Lauma since she's a massive Bloom QoL upgrade.

>>720521572
Lumine pls go.

>>720523445
I'm going for Nilou just because if I ever get C2 in the future it's a free step, and my only other realistic options are C1 Shenhe or C1 Yoimiya neither of which are that worth it since Shenhe is more for Skirk and Yoimiya means using her burst.

>>720523513
I think at this point they view 4*s are more like weaker versions of 5*s for F2P people (Lan Yan is sort of 4* Mizuki as an example) or they're meant to push something specific like Hydro coverage in Aino's case.

>>720523576
I mean in fairness, it makes sense. 4-stars will never be the centerpiece of any team. The days of Bennett are long over. There will never be another one of him ever again.

>>720523658
>There will never be another one of him ever again.
Your coach?

>>720523705
She's good, but not on Bennett's level.

>>720523658
Benny, Xiangling, and XQ are more like anomalies than anything else. Even when they redid Benny in Iansan it's way more toned down in how she actually works and the buff is a shorter duration. I think they want them to be important but not so important they're an integral part of your team. They want it so that if you're using Aino she can help do Hydro applications but it's not overshadowing say Nilou's AoE or Furina's summons for example.

>>720523591
>Nilou is one of the characters who benefits the most, although I'd highly recommend rolling for Lauma since she's a massive Bloom QoL upgrade.
I dont have enough primos to roll for her.

>Aino has a 10% chance of destroying Nod-Krai
I thought it was a joke at first, but then I remembered that she's the one who created that big fuck-off cannon in Nasha Town.

I threw 50 rolls at her but she never turned up. And then I kinda lost interest because I don't really care for her much as a character. She's easily the most boring of Nod-Krai's cast so far.

Isn't it weird how out of all the regions, it's Fontaine that's missing a super engineer in its playable cast? Even though Fontaine is the most known for its mechanical feats, none of the cast members have actually built anything of note.

>Isn't it weird how out of all the regions, it's Fontaine that's missing a super engineer in its playable cast?
That's why we're getting Sandy. Probably at the end of 6.X, but we ARE getting her eventually.

>>720524842
It's how it's always been because some of them drop materials numbering into the dozens. You can farm those two Geovishap things in Chenyue Vale because they're so easy to kill and they drop like 10+ enemies worth of mats.

>>720486745 (OP)
this game needs an engine overhaul asap because those graphics are a joke

How come Abyss activity gets worse and worse the further west you go? Towards the east, Abyssal activity is almost non-existent. Mondstadt just deals with some Abyss Order scrubs from time to time, while all the Abyss shit in Liyue and Inazume are limited to the Chasm and Enkanomiya, respectively. The east is so much more peaceful than the west that it's not even funny.

>>720525332
You'd need to take the game offline and remake pretty much everything from scratch.

>>720525337
Dragonspine was literally about to cause an Abyss overflow and had to be nailed, same deal with the Chasm. You're just seeing it as small fry because the issues were fixed hundreds of years into the past and we fixes the issues before they happened again in most of the areas. Even in Sumeru the Abyssal energy was starting to overtake everything thanks to Marana before Traveler stopped it.

We're also getting closer and closer to Khaenri'ah. Even if Sumeru has that door that leads to it we've still got the actual cursed city and its remnants outside their doorstep to deal with.

>>720523591

>>720522979
Don't listen to this retard >>720523098
It's a mechanic that kinda changes how certain reactions work. So far it's only for the dogshit reactions like electro charged and bloom, so we're probably not getting some giga melt soon.

Aino's proportions are pretty weird when you put her next to the other lolis. Her head's not as huge, and her legs aren't as thicc.

>>720525337
Because the Abyss (Honkai) started corrupting Teyvat at or near Natlan in the west and creeped northeast from there, since Nod-Krai and Fontaine have it worse than the other nations. Sumeru seems to be a fairly hard barrier though (possibly since Irminsul is right there), so everything of it just has to deal with Abyss Order hijinks which are substantially way less chaotic than the actual Abyss itself.

I still don't understand where Nod Krai came from or why we're even here instead of Snezhnaya.
Might skip this place entirely and wait a year.

>>720525686
Fontaine's problems seem to have nothing to do with the Abyss though. Primordial Seawater seems to be a Light Realm thing.

>>720525584
what a beauty

>>720486745 (OP)
When are we getting Alice?
I just got Klee to level 100.

>>720525608
She sounds a lot better then. The other lolis are more like gremlins with their proportions so it's nice to have something that more closely resembles a little girl.
How much of the story do I have to skip to get her free C0?

>>720525768
Nod-Krai is southern Snezhnaya. Technically, it's part of the Cryo Archon's domain, it's just that its people worship the moon instead of the gods.

>>720525832
You get her near the beginning of the Archon Quest.

>>720518447
You can choose either a level boost or an extra constellation?

>>720525880
Damn, this event is glazing Aino like crazy. Even the fucking Fatui don't want to mess with Aino.

Fuck it imma dump rolls into Nahida.
Don't care about deer bitch.

>>720525956
No. Constellation pick is separate from the level thing. Of course, if you want, you grab an extra copy of a character you already have at C6 which will net you the item you need to break the level cap.

>>720525778
Not the Primordial Seawater, but the fact that there's an Abyss access point inside Elynas' (abyssal monster) remains and the Breacher Primuses are the abyss monsters that spawned from his cells. Jakob also became an Abyss Lector by absorbing the nearby energy from Elynas' body. It's not overt as the Wild Hunt or the Night Kingdom Wars, but Fontaine has a way bigger Abyssal presence than a lot of other places.

>keka artorias just killing abyss niggas on the beach
>refuses to elaborate
>leaves when he's finished
Yeah, fuck them up.

>>720526056
Is this shit retroactive?
I'm probably at C21 Jean given all the times I lost 50/50s AND I STILL DON'T HAVE MONA (from the gacha)

>>720525990
Kill yourself zoomer.

>>720525880
I started that quest today and it was funny to see the new event clashing with it. I had to do the event cutscenes first where Aino already knows you before she meets you in the archon quest

>>720526124
Yes, I got 34 of them once I logged in.

>>720526124
Yes. In fact, there are some whales that have literally hundreds of masterless stella fortuna thanks to that. If you really got Jean to C21, then you should receive 14 masterless stellas. That's enough to level 100 four characters.

>>720526257
>That's enough to level 100 four characters.
They're universal and not specific to the character?
And I didn't get a single one?
Fuck me.

>>720526753
Yes. Like I said, you need to max out a character and keep getting extra copies after that to collect them. I only have one myself despite starting from the beginning. Still, I should collect more over time. Mona and Keqing are at C6 already, so any extra copies of them should net more more. And Jean and Qiqi are C5, so two more copies of either will net me another one.

Basically, the true purpose of this mechanic is to make spooks less painful.

>a single word appears
>all desire to go through the event vanishes
I don't understand how I got this way.
I wasn't always like this with Genshin.

>>720526124
Yeah it is. Game back-calculates all the constellations you've pulled on capped characters and shoots you the right amount of Masterless Stellafortuna once you log in after the update. If you're really at C21 Jean, you should have a fat stack waiting for you. If you didn't get any, either you're trolling or Hoyoverse somehow gaslit you into thinking every 50/50 loss was Jean. Go check your constellations again, maybe a few of those were Qiqi sneaking in wearing a wig.

>>720527242
May as well quit at this point. A lot of people insist on playing this game despite being sick of its chattiness, building up resentment towards the game until they inevitably start hating it. If it annoys you to the point where you can't enjoy the gameplay anymore, it's time to move on.

You don't want to be like those morons who, even after quitting the game, can't stop going on meaningless tirades whenever they see it brought up just to blow off years' worth of resentment, right?

>>720526937
>Basically, the true purpose of this mechanic is to make spooks less painful.
I just wish it extended to 4*s as well since most people could reasonably get those.

>>720527482
Just to be clear, I mean 4* ones for 4* 100s, not 4* ones working for 5*s. I just want something good to have come from C18 Benny and XQ.

>>720486745 (OP)

>>720527698
Uninstall and stop playing. Also delete your Genshin porn folder.

>>720498636
I'm sure that made sense in your head. It's for people like you who can't read and just hallucinate nonsense instead.

>WuWa thread didnt make it to 20+ posts
man, why are people trying so hard to push that gacha? I mean sure it has some stuff I'd like to see in genshin like damaged clothes when low hp but I remember the story was utter dogshit it makes genshin story a masterpiece.

Because, much like HSR, it's mostly populated by bitter ex-Genshin refugees who largely picked it up out of spite. The issue is that very little people intrinsically enjoy it for what it is, hence it's poor perfomance relative to Genshin.
>But why does HSR make money then?
Because HSR is the ideal mobile game, which is a massive component of the Chinese gaming market that Star Rail dominates, meaning that there is a demographic that will keep logging in regularly. WuWa doesn't even have that going for it.

>>720528072
HSR could be better. There should be at least two events per sub-patch.

>>720527992
You must remove all temptation.

When is Xianyun gonna appear in Nod-Krai?

>>720528430
I hope I can get more copies of her with Flin's banner.

did the traveler get Lunar powers just like other regions?

>>720528105
HSR is fun enough and it's community has definitely mellowed out since those early days so I can't take too many jabs at them. Hating Genshin/Hoyo is a much more fundamental part of WuWa's identity and I don't think the game can really ever live up to their expectations for it.

>>720528484
As far as we know there's no Traveler variant this time. I don't see why they couldn't make them have Lunar powers on every single form though since we have the Marrow in us even if that's supposed to be temporary.

>>720528509
Yeah but there really should be more events. It doesn't even have to be anything extravagant. Half of Genshin's events are just lazy rehashes of past ones or simple battle challenges.

>>720486745 (OP)
Why did Sandrone not even acknowlede this?
Were the writers too afraid to incorporate lengthy side quests from past regions?

>>720528683
DO NOT

I can't read. Am I supposed to something near those red boxes that make a red moon appear around me?

>>720527698
You keep playing until one day something happens you stop playing for a day, then a few days, then a week. Then you will stop playing again and this time you quit entirely.
You will try to pick up the game again but when you remember the grind you will stop and never return.
And then later when genshin is brought up you try to warn people about what a dogshit game it is

>>720529216
magnets, how do they work?

>>720528984
general rule in genshin impact quest design is that they cant directly tie something that happened in world quest to archon quest because not everyone is a world quest player

>>720529445
but i do not like that
they could very easily add a line of dialogue that only shows if you did do the world quest
i would like that
they could also add many other things i want but they have not

>>720527803
>but I remember the story was utter dogshit
That's the problem, it has abysmal worldbuilding and writing that isn't waifu shilling so there isn't much to be immersed in.
Shame for the UE5 and the models and whatever else, they could have made it good.

>>720528671
>Yeah but there really should be more events
Star Rail ahs solidified its approach at being an episodic VN to play on your phone on the commute, that's where they put 95% of the effort. Events are rehashed menu clicking, story quests are long gone, world quests barely exist, "endgame" is the same battles as ever, they just want that 10 hour epic anime story culminating in an aura filled cinematic every patch to get discussion and new banners going.

>play anecdotes I missed in english
>still has Paimon's old VA
>still has silent characters
I thought they fixed this

>>720530252
>Star Rail ahs solidified its approach at being an episodic VN to play on your phone on the commute
Sounds weird. I don't want to geek out or get emotional at a video game in a train or on the street. I can do that shit at home.

This event catalyst seems like a pretty decent generalist weapon. That said, it's hard to compete with The Widsith and Sacrificial Fragments.

>>720529216
No, it's just magnets. If you walk near certain flora (Typically the long stranded ones or the mushroom looking ones near the water) it'll give you the magnetic buff, otherwise the Fatui cleaner bots give you the buff. If you're talking about the red boxes in the Barrowmoss Barrens on those shantytown looking areas you need to start the side quest with the giant mech near the bottom waypoint as they're part of that side quest.

Paywalling level 100 was such a bad idea

>>720531290
Level 100 doesn't make much of a difference. It's purely for bragging rights.

>>720529842
it'll ruin the surprise, chud

>>720531290
is there even a good character that will benefit from being a level 100? cant think of anyone other than bennett with that base attack thing tbqhbeitsoever

>>720531442
Doesn't anyone who scales off HP, EM, and ATK benefit from any sort of level ups? It's why you focus on any reaction drivers to be 90 for example.

Would Master Key be better on Aino than Flame-Forged Insight? Both weapons seem to benefit her.

>>720531498
According to how they set up the damage formula the difference is extremely small, it's just bragging rights.
Still Jewish as fuck.

>>720531290
How do you even raise past level 90? Only got back into Genshin recently and it seems I missed a bunch of new stuff.

>>720499905
>eng shitter

>>720531698
See >>720522641 and >>720522747.

>>720531498
Level 100 is nothing more then just showing off
Literally, the Change is so small it doesnt matter

>>720531442
Benny's buff increase is like a single percentage point difference apparently.

So I'm guessing level 100 doesn't do anything to mitigate the level difference demerit in shit like Stygian Onslaught.

Who did it best?

>>720531887
It specifically does not

>>720531991
I feel like the Captain is carried almost exclusively by his reputation. Admittedly, that's true of all Harbingers.

Frankly, Rerir did it the best, and he's not even a Harbinger.

>>720532080
So it really is pointless. Well, that makes me feel better about how I use it. I'll just use it on the characters I like best since it's largely irrelevant to meta.

>>720531991
As far as first appearances go, Signora easily

Question for those who have done the story:
Why is Lauma allowed to tell her adherents about the false sky and how the true moon is behind it? Isn't that grounds for Celestia interference since it makes itself public knowledge instead of sequestered knowledge like Scaramouche or Traveler have done? I thought half the reason why Kusanali had to keep mum about stuff to Traveler was because both she and Dottore were worried about getting Celestia on them and that's why Venti keeps his trap shut most of the time or hints rather than says outright. I know the people of Natlan saw the false sky but in that instance everyone thought they were just seeing things because it was so far away whereas in Lauma's case she's straight up telling everyone it's not real.

>>720532156
Yeah its nearly as pointless as those weapon transmog

>>720532195
Several characters have learned about the false sky and none of them have received punishment for it. The Heavenly Principles have been inert for 500 years. Don Sombrero didn't get struck by lightning when he learned about it all the way back in Version 1. All the Harbingers are completely aware of it now. Nahida knows about it too. And besides, I doubt she told them about the false sky specifically, since that would only complicate matters. Lauma isn't aware of the context behind the false sky. It's best to keep it simple and just state the relevant facts; that the moons are dead. You don't need to speak of the false sky to relay that fundamental truth.

>>720532356
There's going to be a long nailing list when Phanes returns

>>720531991
don't care, still saving for the crimson witch

>>720531991
'cchino's presence is overwhelming in her intro scene and her voice actress is so good. It's got to be her.

>>720532356
Those were all in small amounts though. Don Sombrero only told Paimon, Traveler, Mona, and Fish. Dottore and Kusanali had an informational exchange with the pretense it wasn't leaving that room and Traveler was knocked out.

In Lauma's case it's a fairly large doctrinal change for their entire religion which she tells to everyone in her congregation. Keep in mind many people are still adherents to the religion after the reveal including Lauma which goes with the implication that they believe her that the moon still exists past the false sky. Her stating the moons are dead wouldn't really convince people to stay with a religion that is essentially false. Also keep in mind that no one knew why the moon's power was waning and why that one priestess was struck from the records past general reasons that she was a heretic/blasphemer. Even then you had to be an actual Moon Priestess to be privy to even that.

Did Lauma save Genshin?

>>720531991
Oh wait, huh. I guess Columbina didn't get one of these, did she? I know she's technically no longer a Harbinger but, I mean, Rerir got one and he's not a Harbinger at all.

You guys think he'll join the Fatui and become the next #3 while replacing Columbina?

>>720532859
>a fucking child in a mech
Hmm...

Signora: Mugged a drunk femboy.
Tartaglia: Got beat up by the Traveler at their weakest.
Scaramouche: I'm gonna be honest, I barely remember anything he did in that event.
Dottore: Built a robot and got outwitted by a green baby.
Arlecchino: Terrorized Furina.
Captain: Fought an Archon, although he lost.
Sandrone: Where's Katherine? Bring back Katherine.
Columbina: All she does is eat, sleep and think about tsundere robot maids.

Columbina is objectively the most cultured Harbinger.

>>720531753
So they basically just force you to roll more cons if you're autistic. Great.

>>720532997
I don't care if it's a world quest, the plebs are free to not get the reference, just show some confirmation for Sandrone's origin.

>>720532828
source?

The free constellations are much more impactful than level 100. You can only get one per character and the pool of characters you get get it for is currently small, but I'm sure it'll expand over time. I'm gonna get it for Miko and Shenhe.

>>720533510
I'll finally get to see what C1 Hu Tao is like

>>720534158
Oh no no no no.

>>720534153
Possibly later. Actually, does anyone remember all the Harbingers that were supposed to come to Nod-Krai? I recall that the Regrator and the Rooster were up to something, but I can't remember if Nod-Krai was involved.

>>720533041
Signora also outwitted morax and ended up getting raiden's gnosis, thanks to the retcon tree. She is literally the only competent harbinger so far.

>>720534693
She didn't outwit Morax. Morax found the terms agreeable so he accepted. It's not like he was forced into a deal he wanted no part of.

So whatever happened to those Signora copers? Didn't they swear up and down that she'd revive in Natlan? Did they all kill themselves?

The Shades animation showed Pierro, Mavuika said Dottore will be there, and we already saw Columbina and Sandrone.

It was a single line, but she does mention it.

>>720535801
>acknowledging world quests
>after Natlan's AQ also had changes depending on world quest completion
give me my Mary Ann in Hyperborea reeeeeee

>>720535643
Wonder who we'll get to fight. I don't think we'll fight Pierro yet. I have a feeling Sandrone's gonna defect or something too. The key points are:
>A) Columbina has already left the Fatui.
>B) Sandrone and Columbina seem to be close friends.
>C) Columbina is dying
>D) Sandrone has already showcased a willingness to disobey orders

Coupled with Don Sombrero's arrival and I have a feeling that things are gearing up to a conflict between the Harbingers, both past and present members. Arlecchino has also already shown that she's not completely loyal to the Tsaritsa.

>>720535801
That's referring to Ineffa in 5.8 amnesiabro

>>720536163
Probably Sandrone before she sides with Traveler. She's already supposed to be playable, same with Columbina. It's likely we destroy the false sky at the end of Nod-Krai leading to Columbina reconnecting with her moon, since we're befriending Columbina with no ulterior motives and just friendship we now have an actual no-frills goddess on our side to combat the upcoming Sinners and Celestia, and they need to set up a pathway to meet the Tsarista which would work when you have like five Harbingers helping you out in various ways. Even if Don Sombrero isn't remembered by them anymore he's still a valuable ally in going against the Tsarista.

Honestly, I'm interested in seeing how they're eventually going to react to the news of Scaramouche being a Harbinger because you know that cat's going to come out of the bag at some point.

>>720536554
We won't be destroying the false sky. That would require for them to completely change the skybpx for the entire game.

>>720536170
How did Sandrone have anything to do with that

>>720536656
>That would require for them to completely change the skybpx for the entire game.
Realistically they could handwave it instead of turning it pure blood red with destroyed moons and stuff in it. Say that because of Ronova being present in Natlan it was more sinister looking because of her influence or something and then all you would have to do would be at night add in the destroyed moons and more stars and planets in the distance.

Did you forget about the guy who "broke" his legs and then immediately ran out of there who was working with the Fatui, or the entire Fatui group sent to bring back the crazy dragon lady and were directly controlled by Sandrone to the point that Traveler said they didn't feel like real people when they were slashed?

>>720537797
>I've only got 1240 left so

She's pretty meta, especially if you get Nefer

>>720537631
Exactly, because they're using the Sinners and the sibling as ways to make it an antagonist on top of consistently showing us just how much damage it does to the world. The Fatui are off doing their own thing, and while we may disagree with their actions which are objectively evil or callous the Tsarista is also clearly doing it to upend the entire control structure as a whole and the Archons are all generally on her side considering outside of Venti (Who is afraid of Celestia as far as we know) they all just hand over their god stimulants.

The Fatui may be the antagonists but they're not the villains, that's always been the Abyss. The Doctor has been the only one who has been comically evil while the rest can either be handwaved as callous or just doing their jobs. If it's not abundantly clear we're going to side with the Tsarista in taking down the false sky with the rest of the archons and countries in some major attack, destroying fate/destiny as a concept, and becoming arbiters of our own realities despite the control either Celestia or whoever else enacts upon Teyvat before 9.0 happens and we go to a different planet or something now that we're free.

>>720536163
I highly doubt Sandrone will fight us or become a weekly boss. She's really not interested to fight you because she knows she won't win. the reason she went up against rerir is because previously the wild hunt damaged pulonia and Sandrone hates it when her machines break so she went in for round 2
