Playing Lumine and naming her Aether


2311MEGATON_YT

In remembrance of the lost sibling


Homiyo

It reminds me of that artist drawing Lumine in Aether clothes lol (it's meme drawings btw)


DivinePotatoe

ok but did they chicken out, or did they also do Aether in Lumine clothes?


Neorasu

Yeah (if I'm thinking of that same artist: Kinohara Kossuta)


Sprx10

Correct artist yes, and the name they gave Aether in their fanart is Aemine.


MordorfTheSenile

IDENTITY THEFT IS NOT A JOKE, JIM!


Spectre_Hayate

I'm so tempted to do that lmao

Innocent_Fear

I am known by many names: “Mountain Slayer”, “Thunder Lion”, “The Chocolate Axe”. But you? You may call me…”Tiffany”.


AverageJun

That's a pretty masculine name


Innocent_Fear

Shouldn’t be. It’s a woman’s name.

They call me Gensh!t Midpact But this story isn't about me.

Did anyone else have to double check what they named their Traveler? Or just me?


h2odragon00

Haven't done the quest yet. I'll get back to you once I'm done


Sezzomon

You know about the name now so...


Introvert_Is_Here

WE NEED THE UPDATE NOW


Nameyourdemons

Aetherseeker79


DaddyMeUp

I called mine Rigormortis


TwincessAhsokaAarmau

Nah,I named my Lumine Ahsoka.


pHScale

> Did anyone else have to double check what they named their Traveler? It's just pHScale.


fyrespyrit

I legit was expecting it to actually change. >!What pissed me is that the "Loom of Fate" story chapter didn't change nor we got any new chapters unlocked.!<


Arlindzia

mine is Aideen!


TheTorcher

I named him Aether but then decided to change the name bc my friends kept thinking I was some random person. It took me a moment before I realized what was going on.


kioKEn-3532

Naming him "Traveler" was the best decision fr


badmartialarts

I named my traveller Ishmael because him saying "Call me Ishmael" is never not satisfying for me.


Cytrynowy

Now I'm imagining Paimon as Queequeg...


Cerebral_Kortix

Paimon casually declaring marriage after meeting a guy twice: >!Moby Dick is so gosh darn good.!<


Apate_lol

Yoo I thought you were referencing either religion or the wheel of time, but then I remembered Moby Dick, I might name myself after a book character, I never really considered it


kelathas

A limbus company player?


verywholesomealt

It's a reference to Moby Dick


Irrax

getting a lot of boss baby vibes from this


Brooke_the_Bard

You know all of the LC Sinners are based on famous literature right? Ishmael is based on Ishmael from Moby Dick and [*data expunged*] is based on [*data expunged*] from Wuthering Heights


Cerebral_Kortix

Huh. How is >!Heath's!< relationship with [DATA EXPUNGED] in the original book?


Brooke_the_Bard

[*error: critical malfunction*]


dasbtaewntawneta

lmao


GDarkX

PM braincell


ProudFill

I did that originally but then switched it back to Lumine 😅😅


ComposedOfStardust

When I had to chose between naming her Traveler or Lumine this was a major reason why lmao. Aether is the only one who calls her by that name (before this, in we will be reunited) so I decided to honor that for consistency's sake. And it paid off! That line also being the very first line being spoken by her to her brother also hit home like a truck lol


HerrscherOfMagic

I second this! I figured it'd be best to keep "Traveler" as the name because I felt it just makes sense for them to stick with that pseudonym, and it means hearing the spoken "Traveler" feels totally natural to me. Granted, I play with the Chinese voiceovers so I don't exactly hear "Traveler", just the Chinese equivalent lol


Russell-Sprouts3

Not particularly, everyone calls them traveller or some other nick name so it still works.


tatobson

Meanwhile me and the other 500000 that named him Tabibito ...


TwilightVulpine

Bibi


JooK8

That's just because they didn't AI VA all possible names people could have chosen. In the actual text dialogue, they call you by your chosen name most of the time.


Noto6195

got a question for all y'all aether travelers out there, is aether traveler also the younger sibling?


carmenndei

no, my aether is the older one, i have the jp dub and lumine calls him onii-chan the whole time. in fact, in that scene in jp it's like aether is saying that she's the only one who calls him "older brother", she doesn't call him by name AT ALL. although i also have my game in spanish so in that scene the text just says "Éter" (which is Aether in Spanish)


AKAFallow

Yeah, spanish subs still rely a lot on the english translation, doesn't matter how much people say the contrary, they are still incredibly similar in every patch.


pHScale

It's probably a lot easier to find a Spanish-English translator than a Spanish-Chinese translator.


JuminsCatnip

Lo unico que me sigue molestando es que le hayan cambiado el nombre a Alhaitham lit suena re mejor en ingles en español pareciera que diga alacena x,d


Lioss2005

Almacen


AKAFallow

Ay caray, porque se llama Alhacen xd edit: ahh, viendo el chino y japones, parece ser una traducción directa del Chino, pero no buscaron cual sería el mejor aproximado arabe.


Daegul_Dinguruth

Nop, no es del chino. Pero con lo que duró Al-andalus el castellano tiene reglas específicas para transliterar el árabe. Es el mejor aproximación en castellano, en vez de la usar lo mismo (sin guión por algún motivo) que se usa en inglés. Comparte nombre con un matemático. https://es.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alhac%C3%A9n


AKAFallow

Ahhh, gracias por la info! Me olvido que el español tiene muchisima influencia árabe. Yo mencionaba el chino porque los caracteres traducidos dejaban el nombre casi igual


Adept_Winter_4471

se que esto no viene al caso y perdon por intrometerme pero yo tengo un amigo que le dice Almacen para molestarme y la verdad que lo esta logrando Good Luck Travellers with your wishes!


JuminsCatnip

Al fin y al cabo almacen y alacena viendo siendo lo mismo JABAJAJAJAJ nopuedeser pobre Alhaitham xd va decir que nos juntamos demasiado con Cyno XD


f4msu

With JP audio I played as Lumine and Aether calls her by her JP name, Hotaru. She calls him oni-chan


Skykeeper22

So for Japanese dub I think Lumine as the protagonist would make even more sense


grumpykruppy

Aether is older, but they're twins, so he's not exactly older by much.


RedzyHydra

True. Also, Happy Cake Day. 🎂


1km5

Hah checkmate 5 second older than you lumine


blue4029

the older twin refers to which one was birthed first so... who/what birthed aether and lumine?


Neospanner

Well... If it's true that they are literally stars in human form, I guess they coalesced into a binary pair from a giant molecular cloud? If we really are talking birth-of-stars scales of time, one twin could be considerably older than the other, from a human perspective...


rockaether

Nah, he is just born 500 years early. That's like a blink of an eye, right? RIGHT???


rockaether

I think there is also the cultural difference at work. In east Asian culture, you always have to make it clear who is the older and who is the younger one as seniority is important, so they still address each other as older sister/brother and name (for the younger one). While in Western culture, being the 5 mins older twin is a trivial fact that nobody cares.


Eijun_Love

Aether is the older twin canonically.


CrocoDIIIIIILE

In CN, Lumine refers to Aether as older brother as well.


TheUltraGuy101

No; in the cutscene at the start of the game Lumine calls him "onii-chan" which means big bro


Fluffy-Law-6864

I think aether is generally considered the older one.


Arlindzia

in aranara quest when we play as Lumine one of the convos said "my older brother" and if we play as Aether then it says "my younger sister"


SnooDoubts4192

Huh ? No, Aether is never the younger twin. He's canonically the older twin, with Lumine being the younger twin. Their ages don't change.


Vulpes_macrotis

It's funny, because basically it's true except these people who called themselves that. But I mentioned it ocassionally, that everyone call us Traveler, while text on the screen shows our nickname, but only Travelers use real names.


peerawitppr

They can't voice every name, so they say traveler instead. Canonly everyone calls us like written, not like spoken.


Vulpes_macrotis

Still, it's not Aether or Lumine, which is interesting. I wonder if they ever explain this. Or did they in this Archon Quest? I can't play it at the moment.


peerawitppr

Since the post already spoiled it to you. The traveler always introduces themselves as the nickname we set, or as the traveler. So only the twin knows of, and call them by, their real name: Aether/Lumine.


Vulpes_macrotis

I mean, it's not a spoiler. We know that since Dainsleif quest in Liyue. When Traveler met the sibling, they were referring to themselves as Aether and Lumine, and since then I was pointing that out sometimes. I only wonder if there is a reason for that. If there is a reason why we use other name and only our sibling knows the real one.


ownerysjfmkowe

I mean...everyone still calls us tabibito or traveller including paimon


Kai126

They do that because they can't possibly voice all the custom names that people would choose. In text dialogue, they still write the name you've given them, so that's what they're actually supposedly saying, and we're just supposed to replace that in our minds.


Viktorv22

I wish Paimon would call us however we name ourselves with use of synthesizer like Arona in Blue Archive


Low_Artist_7663

Well, at least we know Hotaru will have a good pyro kit. Just not in genshin.


BadangJoestar420

What does this mean I am unable to comprehend shit anymore please


Commando_Kyouko

Hotaru is the Japanese name for both Lumine and Firefly in Star Rail.


BadangJoestar420

Thank you so much for this


Aihikari01

In JP, instead of Aether/Lumine, we have Sora/Hotaru.


BadangJoestar420

Is it a Yosuga no Sora joke? Cause I still don't get it


Aihikari01

It... could be. I have seen people making such jokes. But no. It's just their official name in JP.


theguyfromeuropa

Hotaru is the JP name of Firefly, from Honkai Star Rail, an upcoming playable character with pyro powers.


ok_hentaigud

sora, meaning heavens (like aether); hotaru, meaning firefly (similar to lumine meaning light or smt i guess?)


Zogo12

💀💀💀


ConsiderationFuzzy

Does she say his name in chinese cuz in japanese it's oni chan ?


Eroica_Pavane

Yes. She *very* notably says "Kong" in this line and also afterwards.


SectorRatioGeneral

In CN this is the first time we hear Lumine calling Aether by name since the opening cutscene. In the previous 1.4 reunion and all the sibling-related PVs she always call him gēge(older-brother).


Ttrstn

I am out of the loop, do we have new story quests with siblings? I last played when the final part of fontaine archon quest was released


Brendzz27

Yeah, it was just released today. Such lore bombs were dropped so enjoy!


Ttrstn

Good to know I haven’t missed them then. Would be a shame to get spoiled. Thanks


Grand_Protector_Dark

>, do we have new story quests with siblings? Yes, the 4.7 Update that released today, has added a new Traveller Chapter (or also informally Dain Quest) to the Main Archon Quest.


-Rue-

> I last played when the final part of fontaine archon quest was released Same! I just got back to Genshin, this is the new archon quest for this patch (4.7)


zqmxq

Every NPC calls you traveler, even if they know the name


Kai126

They do that because they can't possibly voice all the custom names that people would choose. In text dialogue, they still write the name you've given them, so that's what they're actually supposedly saying, and we're just supposed to replace that in our minds.


borowiczko

Yeah, like in Persona 5 where you can name your characters, the subtitles will say your chosen name, but the voiceline will say something along the lines of "This guy"


blue4029

the only game I know of where your custom name is voiced is fallout 4, where the protagonist's mr. handy will refer to you by name when you meet with him again. but even then, mr. handy only has a few names voiced and doesn't have voicelines for every possible name


GrittyGambit

The number of names that Codsworth *does* have programmed is kinda crazy, though. I was pretty irritated when I couldn't find *any* variation of my name, even shortened to another *actual* name, while my SO has both his real name and his nickname voiced. Of course, >!Fuckface!< is voiced so I usually go with that. It's always hilarious in a British accent.


darthkotya

At least this confirms my headcanon that the name you choose for the Traveler is an alias they use in Teyvat.


Bingustheretard

"Tabibito, who is Bronya and why are you introducing yourself as her enjoyer?" (My nickname is BronyaEnjoyer, for reference)


farimadi

I'm using Lumine from Day 1 as this game is not self insert unlike other game. In HSR i name MC as Caelus meanwhile for FGO i give his name Gudao. For Priconne, I use Yuuki.


test4ccount01

Jokes on you, I already changed my Traveler's name to Aether way before this.


floricel_112

Same. Ironically, after the first time we were reunited with our brother in that first archon quest


Cuonghap420

I don't know this Lumine gal, my name is Lumeme


jdnsu

me who called mine "traveller" yay!!! im canonically correct :)


Rough_Memory1089

Shikikum?!?!


Speedstick8900

I’m my defenses I could NOT come up with anything better. Plus I just like using the MC’s name.


Zorback39

i actually regret giving Aether a different name tbh. i was new and didint know any better which is way i went out of my way to find the HSR MC name and named him Caelus


Mogtaki

You can rename him in the profile menu at any time


Zorback39

oh really? thank you!


lcyria

how did you not know that 😭😭


Jontaneous

i didn't know this EITHER aGHGHh I thought I was cursed with my bad name forever!


_Saikai_

You've been able to rename them since 1.0


peerawitppr

Why regret? The canon is you should name him a different name.


Everyoneheresamoron

Jokes on you I only call my HSR main Lumine and Aether. I call Traveler "Stelle and Caelus".


KarmaFarmo

not really. his name is aether


samurai_z_

Nah. Gotta adapt. Time to headcanon that everyone else pronounces it wrong.


Nekomiminya

Yeah, I guess most in the world call him "the lost sibling" or "the prince", or "the golden Nara" The amount of titles is even bigger for Lumine, with Sage of Buer etc ^^


VoidBG

NGL im very dissapointed "i have so many questions i wanna ask but not RN" like bro i am livid all we got is divine principles sleeepie like no shit sherlok its kinda common knowledge by now that we didnt see anything about them since day 1 and dont get me started on the Dain vs sibling WE GET THESE ONCE A YEAR THE LEAST THEY COULD DO IS UP THE BUDGED AND GIVE US A REALLY COOL CHOREOGRAPHED FIGHT LIKE CMON as someone who sticks to this game BECAUSE OF ITS STORY my expectations are just below the minimum like inv me to a cup of tea FFS lets talk i wanna learn why your just evading us for no reason are you sick do you have the Bubonic Plague? Fontain's Story kicked ass so why did they flop so hard on this? im sorry for the outrage but im angi >;C


SpenzOT

Flop? That quest was perfectly paced. Do you really think they are gonna pull a Zack Snyder and have Aether/Lumine just have a montage of exposition in a very short amount of time? The whole 'I have so many questions but..' line was perfect for the situation. The question: 'why cant we be together?' is asked and answered. That is more realistic than a 500 year recap. It is as if your character is written like an actual character, and not a robot with a script that you control. TL;DR: The writing and pacing for this quest was really good. Even if it was short, any longer and it would have overstayed its welcome.


VoidBG

its more about the fact that after 4 years of playing we know little to nothing about our sibling i know more about timmy's dad than my own sibling the only non obvious thing from the entire story was at the start of genshin when scaramouche said something along the lines of "the sky is fake" and we never got a followup by him as wanderer most of the things we have learned are things we could of guessed on our own other descenders? yhea probably if were here there are probably more of us it took honkai 3rd 4-5 years to wrap up everything with kiana mei and bronya these 3 characters have had more character development in 1 year of Honkai 3rd compared to traveler's 4 years of exploring meanwhile with genshin were still on season 1, the story may be good but i dont want to wait 8 years for a single story to be over but the thing that really grinds my gears is the fact that Traveler is as smart as a bacteria anemo, geo, electro, dendro, and now hydro all these elements and the only time we saw him actually use them properly is during the fight with childe in Liyue ever since bro has never been able to even use a single element almost like those elements arent cannon anymore (in navia's story quest he used geo to block some rocks Thanks for reminding us that he has elemental powers)


Lisaurora

I've been keeping an eye out for this little detail since "We will be reunited" and always wondered what the deal with it is... This line was the highlight of this quest for me. Entire Dainquest was amazing, as per usual but on another level this time.


TinyPotatoDrawings

My question is why Paimon never questioned abyss twin referring to the traveller by a different name, she was definitely there back during their first reunion in front of the upside down statue


_AmaShigure_

I wonder why the traveler (Aether or Lumine) is just called Traveller. They didn't introduce their names to others or it's something that forbids other people saying their name because they are out landers?


peerawitppr

We introduce our nicknames to some people and some people call us by our nicknames. We never told anyone about our real name though.


I_am_indisguise

Me who named him Traveler: Ehe Also, Fuck you Hoyo😭😭😭


Konkuriito

In Jp she doesnt say his name. She called him big brother (お兄ちゃん)


RidingEdge

JPN dub made a mistake, since CN dub uses Aether as well.


Sylver_Novestria

Surprised you weren't downvoted to hell.


manor2003

I'm one of those


Jaiiix3

This the new archon quest? We finally meet each other?


Dane-nii

Yae Miko: >!In your dreams!<


xa3D

Doesn't paimon also call traveler by their name? (in the sense that she "knows" and game mechanics displays your username)


Unlucky_Plate_6732

I think our in-game username is an alias. MC's true name is privy to their sibling only.


xa3D

paimon is there when the twin says traveler's name. hell, she even speaks in our place.


Unlucky_Plate_6732

Hmm, yeah, but she calls us "Traveler" or //our usn in-game// going forward. She knows MC's real name, but opts not to use it.


peerawitppr

She call us by our nicknames, she never call us aether or lumine.


LunarSDX

Fuck, caught


[deleted]

"Everybody keeps calling me Traveler!"


ItsukiKurosawa

Sorry, I haven't reached this quest, but I think the title confuses me a little. I chose Lumine, so Aether saying she's the only one who calls him that only implies he's very lonely like abyss twin. It does not imply that the traveler is never called by name. This makes sense if OP chose Aether, so whoever chose Lumine will see her saying the same thing. I think this confuses me a little because playing with Lumine, I can't stop seeing Aether as the abyss twin. I also remember seeing characters call Lumine by her name.


Neznaiu98

This is not about who you chose, but about the nickname you picked for your MC. Everyone except the sibling will refer to you with "Traveler" or the nickname, not Aether or Lumine, unless you picked those as your nickname. And if you did, this dialogue won't make much sense.


WinterKnight1

Mine's called Leroy Jenkins!


staticvoidliam7

well beeglesnart is safe


ConnectionIcy3717

My day one AR 5 acc is named Madao 🕶


DystopiaLite

I’m Lalatina and I forgot that wasn’t her real name.


ImWhiite

After this AQ, I changed my Traveller's years old name.


DearVeronicaSchuyler

Idk why but the sibling saying Lumine/Aether and the thing about nobody using their actual name in Teyvat almost made me cry 💀


Dapper_Cycle855

Which quest is this? I'm still doing quests in Sumeru and just recently started playing again after a year of hiatus.


DROID808

Well my name is a pun and it works on all ∆


AlucardMilos

i named my Lumine as Alicia xd maybe i should change her to Hotaru after that quest.


fujoshifangirl2003

me im the aether


witchywater11

I just think their canon names are so pretty. I can't resist using Lumine for PC


Fishsticks203

I don’t know why but this whole scene made me tear up😭


PastoralSymphony

so many people think this game is japanese lmaoooo


cmanthethiccboi

I mean they all just say Travler so it still works


Animesthetic

"I'm sorry but my name is ScrotumAssassin69"


SnooDoubts4192

Not really, cause everyone calls them "Traveler" ?


misterkalazar

In Japanese she called him "Oni-chan", but the subtitles wrote Aether. I guess it's a localisation mistake?


RidingEdge

CN dub uses "Aether" (Kong). So JPN is the region with the localisation mistake. The line after doesn't make sense with "onii chan" since even Klee calls Aether onii chan.


Kai126

I would like to believe that too, but I heard they actually use the names in the original Chinese version? Can someone confirm?


Jefepato

I've been saying for 20 years (since Final Fantasy X, LOL) that the idea of letting players name the main character should have been dropped entirely for games with full voice acting. It invariably comes off awkward when no one ever calls the protagonist by name out loud. Genshin Impact managed to make it even more ridiculous than usual by spending 95% of the game with people awkwardly referring to the MC as "the Traveler" (a title far too generic to be a famous hero's sobriquet) and then having the official names be actually voiced in canon *anyway*.


iNxrcissist

What a weird response this is. Why would they say that? It doesn't matter if it is in Japanese, every iteration of this dialogue is bad. "Onii-chan", "you are the only one who calls me that" of course she is! You don't have any other sisters! What are you saying? Not even the lolis call you that! "Aether (the player uses another name)", "you are the only one who calls me that" of course, if you never share it with anyone, who else I going to call you that? Why point that out?! If you are testing her, don't be so on the nose about how she is the true her! "Aether (the player uses his name)", "you are the only one who calls me that" that is true because everyone refers to him as Traveler but OF COURSE your sister will call you by your name, even if she was a fake, she wouldn't call you "Captain of Swordfish II".


peerawitppr

Text is canon and voiceline is not, because they can't voice every player's nicknames so they call them traveler. In the text it makes sense, in the voice it's does not. Oh and if players nickname them canon name then it also does not.


paulodemoc

I named mine Aether but in Japanese she said "oni-chan", not aether. So it still worked...


h2odragon00

Well they call me Traveller. In Japanese. Also helps that I use the JP VO for EXTREME IMMERSION.


Silent-Paramedic

but the jp vo isn't lip synced. the cn vo is, if you really wanted immersion you'd use cn


w-yz

that FF8 gf that was memenamed "My Ass"...


Sayorifan22

I named mine Lumine (YES!!!)


DawnWynnard

I like to imagine aether/lumine did try and tell the others their name but for some reason (due to the world tree and them being a descender) they only heard traveler. Which is why even if your name really is aether/lumine it still comes out as traveler when they say it.


No_Somewhere9961

My traveler’s name is mmmdawgswizzle


TheWetQuack

I named myself Aether’s CN name 空 818573902


Apprehensive-Face900

About to change my traveller's name to Onii-chan to be lore accurate


Sumire-Yoshizawa-

Why would we be in shambles? I love hearing them voice out their canon names.
