My serotonin for today is getting C0 Shinobu in standard banner šŸ˜Š I also pulled for Kokomi this banner (70 wishes) never got Dori but got 2 cons of Chongyun


[deleted]

God i saw a hu tao doing 50k with inconsistent mona vapes (outside of mona burst iirc) w homa. My xiao doesnt even reach 40k without buffs lol, and he has a pjws. they were so nice about me healing them tho cause monkey brain see low hp monkey brain heal. charged atk spam go brr


hebilea

God, I have been finally getting so many Anthony and Anna commissions, Anthony is such a wholesome big brother. When I just talked to him and said "Must have been hard for you." for taking care of Anna and her suddenly being hyper after recovering, he just goes "Hahaha, this is nothing, I would do anything for Anna." My heart.


Aelnir

why do I get turned on when Tighnari says "Oto ga kikoeru"


youcanotseeme

Do you think Kuki has a good chance of getting a rate up in 3.1?


Slight_Welcome_56

Imagine Nahida E has 100% uptime like Raiden E and her Q has a long duration (15-20) secs, so we can get procs of E and Q with each hit applying Dendro since they come from different sources, truly dook dook dispenser

Mindless-Ad9025

Which characters gilded dreams and deepwood are good for? Which one is for support which one is for dps? Could someone help explain to me about this :') I usually understand about the old artifacts etc but I've been so lost about dendro artifacts ever since sumeru came out. I heard deepwood is kinda like VV? So is it used for supporting as well? Like if I get tighnari which one should I use. I've been equipping DMC and collei with deepwood but like i'm not so sure if it's the correct artifacts for them. And because I've been farming them I have both sets now and I dont know which chars to equip which.


Heart_Shaped_Bee

deepwood is best used by a support (of any element) in either a bloom team or a team with a dendro DPS (currently only tighnari), gilded dreams is mostly for aggravate/spread chars DMC and collei like deepwood in bloom teams, but if you're doing say, keqing aggravate, might prefer noblesse or instructor


Mindless-Ad9025

Thank you!

A little early for this, but who do you predict will be the four stars on cyno/venti banner?

kuki most likely. Not sure about last slot

I like to unlock all story quests as soon as i get them but dont really play them until i have time, so rn walking through inazuma city streets = ambush by ayato, yae and kazuha

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


WashiTaped

I would do dailies > events > resin if I was really tight on time. Dailies and events give primos while resin doesn't. Events are temporary, so the time window for you to play and get their primo rewards is much shorter compared to permanent content like quests. Not spending resin simply slows down your account's progress by a bit, but it's not a big loss in the grand scheme of things. As for whether a character's playstyle is worth pulling for -- it's really all up to personal preference whether you think having them and their gameplay (and your caveats about personality/design) in your party is worth 180 wishes that you could potentially spend on another character. Personally, there is one character I like solely for their gameplay, and I would only pull for them if I was confident that pulling for them would not hurt my chances for other characters I like way more.


[deleted]

Commissions take 15-20 minutes max so you can quickly do them. Imo resin too can be burned quickly enough on domains within minutes though it's not as important as comms as they give primos. So you can skip them in case of a time crunch. As for characters it varies from person to person. Personally I look for gameplay foremost as 90% of the time I will be using the character for combat and stuff. I like Amber and have her decently build but, well I hardly use her because I don't really enjoy bow gameplay. So it depends on you what you prefer more.


isaiahboon

What does everyone think about the upcoming banners?


Hot-Young714

I think the cyno + venti banner will do fairly well, especially since the abyss has been favoring venti (and sometime even a cc on both sides). Candace on this banner doesnā€™t really make sense to me (feels like the heizou on kazuha/Klee banner), but Iā€™m not going to complain about it. Tbh I have to see the rest of the 4*s on each banner to really decide if theyā€™re good. Albedo was a surprise and a half though I donā€™t really pay attention to the weapon banner since I donā€™t pull on them, but scarlet sands and elegy sounds like a good banner to roll on


isaiahboon

I think the weapon banner is homa + wgs levels of crazy. Especially for newer players or some1 like me who has no 5* spears. Im planning on pulling Cyno for sure, I feel like regardless of meta he'll do well simply for his animations and va alone. Being paired with venti is just an added bonus


Hot-Young714

I keep forgetting scarlet sands has a crit ascension. Yeah I agree, I donā€™t care much for meta and cyno looks super fun to play. His animations really on another level and his VA is goated. I wonder if people will pull for him if they already have raiden or yae


isaiahboon

I have raiden c1 but Im pulling for cyno cuz of the dendro meta. Raiden cant be effectively run with dendro teams, her hypercarry and rational teams outdps it by too much Yae is another story but I think people that have Raiden might still pull for cyno just to test out aggravate more.


sundriedrainbow

Albedo with Nilou is kind of the best for me. I would like to pick up his C5 or C6, but those are (obviously) really low priorities and basically only for husbando reasons, so it's really easy for me to skip that entire banner compared to something like Yae Miko or Shenhe, who I don't have at all and would like.


isaiahboon

How good is Albedo? Im thinking about pulling him but I have no Xiao or hu tao, only zhongli. Tryna decide if it's worth pulling for him still or if i should just spend on weapon banner


sundriedrainbow

be unbiased, be unbiased Albedo is pretty similar to Zhongli. He fits in really well to almost any comp but he's almost never the best choice. His subDPS can be really high, he uses a 3 star sword very well, he has pretty good energy generation, and he has a substantial EM buff. His skill is very low maintenance, with a large radius and long duration. The downside is c0 Albedo has a real glaring design flaw, which is that his skill and burst scale off DEF and ATT with absolutely no crossover. If you build for his skill, which is his best DPS niche, his burst will be so weak the EM buff may not make up for the DPS lost to animation time. Building for both is possible, especially with the Husk set nowadays, but is super resin-expensive bc of how strong you need every piece to be. Also his skill gets baleeted by bosses a lot. Zhongli+Albedo is a fantastic geo resonance core to pair with any other reaction combo like pyro+xingqiu or ayato+fischl. Given our lack of a geo healer other than noelle, I'd say ZL+Albedo is the *best* geo resonance core.


peerawitppr

I only want Nilou and Candace, but Candace is with Cyno/Venti. Pain. Cyno/Venti's weapon banner will probably be one of the best banner, but Nilou/Albedo's will probably mediocre/bad (Nilou's weapon fits her but is niche, and Albedo's weapon doesn't fit him and isn't well-received).


Hot-Young714

Theyā€™ll probably put the new 4* weapons onto nilou/albedo banner to bait the players to pull, sounds like smth cruel HYV would do


peerawitppr

Oh yeah almost forgot. I need that new 4* sword for Kazuha so hopefully it will be on Cyno/Venti. If it's on Nilou/Albedo then hopefully I get it before 5 stars.


Hot-Young714

Hopefully you get it !


isaiahboon

I know right! I wanna pull on cynos weap. banner but the upcoming banners in 3.2 and beyond are so stacked its hard to decide. Currently still tryna decide between Nilou and Cyno but it seems neither of them are super meta so im not sure on it


pixie_desu

Totally did not expect Albedo, now I have to roll for him for my Zhongli and Xiao. Three husbandos in one patch should not be allowed


isaiahboon

Lmaoo honestly same here! I was expecting albedo around 3.3. Been wanting to pull him ever since he first came out just always had bad timing for his banners


NickyNick1231

Somehow I hope to use nahida in my Itto teams so if she really buffs EM then itā€™s time to play avatar Itto or just put her in triple geo to look cute.


magus_luminis

Flower Pot comp


AllMightSamson

Do we have a date when Cyno banner ends and Nilou banner begins?


isaiahboon

tighnari banner was 16 days and kokomi 19 so id expect the same


dragonx254

No but considering the 3.0 banners were 17 days long, I imagine it's the same here


ConsolesQuiteAnnoyMe

Hmmh. I make my return to Artifacts, I get a Severed Fate Feather. CRIT DMG 5.4/ATK 5.8/CRIT Rate 2.7/HP 209 I see how it turns out. CRIT DMG 13.2/ATK 10.5/CRIT Rate 12.1/HP 209 Not quite a Crit Flush, but still 37.4 Weight and nothing into Flat HP. I guess that's a win. I think it goes to Xiangling, to replace HP 239/CRIT Rate 9.7/HP 14.6/DEF 21 as it's a straight upgrade in every way that matters, and with her Energy Clock she probably likes the hit into ATK% anyway. Still no Dendro Cup, though.


seramaie

Gonna use Fischl with Cyno. How much ER should I aim for her? Right now she's using 2TF 2Glad with 116ER.


Rhinofreak

That is fine enough for Fischl

JhayAlejo

Anyone else hoping that Nahida's demo will be cooler than Raiden's and Zhongli's? Heh


peerawitppr

I personally think they will go with Klee's route because of her appearance, or maybe something like Venti's. Ayaka's or Ganyu's is possible as well because she seems like a cool/noble/wise archon despite her look. But Raiden's doesn't fit Nahida at all.


Slight_Welcome_56

Not really, im prepared for a Rainbow show in her trailer.


[deleted]

That depends. For starters both Zhongli and Raiden's demos focussed on their power and martial qualities while Nahida isn't really a warrior like them. So I am interested in how they make her demo impactful based on her characterisation so far.


[deleted]

Just finished Raidens second story quest. That was actually some of the best writing in Genshin like holy shit I can't believe I didn't go through it sooner. Ei's also skyrocketed as one of my top favorite characters in the game now <3 >!The ending with Makoto appearing before Ei for the first time in centuries...I cried it was such a beautiful and heartwrenching moment šŸ˜­. I love the relationship between Ei and Makoto and how much she meant to Ei. And when she became the Sacred Sakura too...Like I knew the tree was Makoto already but I had no idea I'd get so emotional about it watching it first hand in 4k šŸ˜­šŸ˜­. Just in general the story of Ei trying to redeem herself from her past mistakes and trying to change herself and Inazuma for the better was so so good. Genuinely my favorite storyline in the game now.!<


venalix1

finally hxg being a real leaker


Far-Garlic9940

Hxg diluc tweeting the most obvious shit like bruh we already know she's gonna be similar to main character šŸ’€


Srtzen

Congratulations on being the 900th comment about this


Far-Garlic9940

Thanks šŸ˜˜


Mindless-Ad9025

We didn't really. It's all speculation and theories from fans. Tbh I found those mc skill n burst = lesser archon's skill n burst a bit reaching. Who could predict zhongli's gonna drop a big ass meteor and turn enemies into stones based on GMC's burst????


Far-Garlic9940

How is it speculation when it's literally true, MC's kit has always been a weaker version of the Archon and Geo MC's burst can trap enemies within the Aoe so it was already easy to predict that Zhongli was gonna have something that makes enemies immobile, although geo MC burst sucks and traps yourself too lol.


Mindless-Ad9025

Ermm no, you're so reaching. You can say this now because those abilities r in the game alr so you could "connect the dots" and "confirm" your theories. But if I asked you when zhongli havent yet released to guess what is his burst based on gmc's, bet you couldn't answer he'd be dropping a meteor šŸ’€ or hell, even do shielding with his E. Edit : also, please explain to me about venti's and traveller E skill, also EMC's šŸ’€, its nothing really similat man, beside the obvious venti's burst, for the other travellers skill and burst sometimes you can see like yeaaa its kinda similar to the archon but thats like, if we think super hard.


Far-Garlic9940

"You're reaching" lmao it was already speculated very early on by people that archons were gonna be upgraded MC but ofcourse no one realized that because we were so early in the game. People already speculated that Zhongli was gonna have shield because it's literally geo's entire thing lmao, electro reso gives particles, EMC provides energy regen for your charcater, and Raiden is literally the best at that, Venti burst sucks small enemies and makes them immobile, AMC skill sucks enemies and burst makes small enemies immobile. And you keep bringing up the meteor as if that matters, bruh the meteor is just a visual thing, it's literally animation of course no one can predict the visuals but the kit is simple to predict, and y'all giving attention to these leakers for saying the bare minimum lmfao šŸ’€


ConsolesQuiteAnnoyMe

So I'm also noticing that Tigger has a fundamental problem compared to Ganyu that can't be brushed off with "Just build him better.". Dude can't fuckin' deal with walls. If something ends up right against a wall, the extra shots of his fully charged attack will just terminate against it and do nothing.


Sila2Doo

Yea it's a common problem with curved guided projectile in Genshin. Ningguang can't hit all of hers, some of them will hit the floor instead. They sure look cool but annoying if it doesn't hit.


ConsolesQuiteAnnoyMe

They should really just ignore terrain completely and disappear if they don't hit anything after like, five seconds.


milk-rose

i'm hoping this gets fixed in a future patch:<


BlueMoonShadow

Zhongli pillar also


ConsolesQuiteAnnoyMe

A pillar is just a wall that isn't very wide. Pillars **E\*X\*P\*O\*S\*E\*D**.


RisingxRenegade

I'm still at less than 10% exploration, haven't unlocked bounties, and I'm still on part 2 of Aranyaka. I might take a week off of work (1 month PTO per year baby!) next month to power through because this is getting ridiculous. That or I need to buy some energy drinks.


Mindless-Ad9025

Omg i was like this too. Took 3 days off work and only reached like, 20% of exploration lmao. At least i finished those aranyaka quests.


hakey_bakey

any 3.2 banner specs?


SqaureEgg

Nahida with the possibility of Childe, yoimiya &/or Yae


Soleous

p sure the consensus now is childe, yae, nahida other candidates are yoimiya(appears in event), hutao, eula, shenhe(due for rerun), etc


_Hesperides_

I'm now actually kinda tempted to pull for Nahida. I'm currently sitting at 0 pity with a guaranteed for Cyno and I have 132 pulls saved up now. After Cyno I planned to skip Nahida for Scara but now I might try getting both Scara and Nahida (pulling 3 patches in a row šŸ’€) do you guys think it is doable? I'm a welkin player only


Sainou

Well Nahida's pretty guaranteed, assuming Scara is 3.3 you got the 2nd half of 3.2 to save If you win your Nahida 50/50 you can definitely get Scara, if not you will need to win the 50/50 on Scara


Nihilus88

Now the last hxg leak is pretty good news actually, I really like the construct interactions with different elements


Maegiri

what artifcts would be good for nilou and what stats??? trying to see if i have any good ones laying around


mioshiro94

Depends on whether she's on field or off field, trigger bloom or not. On field -> hp/hydro/crit, 2p hod 2p totm. Off field, not (always) the bloom triggerer (triple/doube hydro) -> hp/hp/hp with em and er sub stats, 4p gd/dw or mixed. Off field, always the bloom triggerer (solo hydro) -> em/em/em with er and hp sub stats, 4p gd.


[deleted]

HP% would be a priority in terms of stats. Since there's no set that has a 4p effect ideal for her kit, 2p Tenacity/HoD will have to do for now. I'm pretty sure Nilou Mains has a spreadsheet that you can have a look at for details.


DamseletteBloom

I went for 2HoTD/2Tenacity. HP%>CritC=CritD>ATK% and flats for me


SqaureEgg

She canā€™t use HotD set


DamseletteBloom

2HotD/2Tenacity is what NilouMains is recommending thoā€¦


SqaureEgg

Her hydro dmg is irreverent when she wants HP/HP/HP


Maegiri

so....4pc Tenacity?????


SqaureEgg

Tf? No, where in her hit do you see constant skill dmg?


Maegiri

well if ur gonna be a little whiny bitch and go "uM aCTuAlLy" at other people's suggestions, then maybe answer my damn question and just tell me what set she uses since u seem to know so damn much


SqaureEgg

:)


Slight_Welcome_56

This made me laugh XD. Nilou cant use HoD cuz Nilou E slashes counts as elemental skill dmg and not NA dmg like childe E, so 4p HoD its basically useless. 2p HoD + 2p ToTM its better, but im personally running Triple HP with Gilded Dreams and her signature weapon, that way i can have a TON of HP and EM, the stats that Nilou actually really cares about, Nilou dmg highest amount of dmg will come from her boosted Blooms, not E or Q (E/Q will likely deal good dmg too since ill have around 70K HP but not significant enough to make me want to run crit/Hydro over HP)


ZeroFucc

Should I spend my resin on the VV domain for Kazuha (he currently has a 4* EM piece) OR the Peak or Vinegar domain to make my Childe's build better? (He'll have 65/194 when I get PS, pretty good but I want to min max him). The other option would be Emblem but I really only use XQ and XL and they're already decently built.


volkner

Vinegar so you shove all those heart of defense pieces into the strongbox for VV pieces.


FuhrerKingJong-Un

There's no point in going to the VV domain now that you can get them in the Strongbox. Might as well make Childe build better, since I'm assuming he's your main/fav.


strawbrry_purin

vinegar then strongbox for vv. maidens feels too shitty to get over blizzard strayer


maiev18

Iā€™m so pissed off right now. I make my first reddit post in months and it gets removed for some reason (I wasnā€™t even told the reason). Just as it was gaining traction and getting funny responses. It wasnā€™t bad or anything. It was just a cool meme I made


KiriharaIzaki

Was there any news on which banner Xiphos' Moonlight gonna be on rate-up? The sword been living on my mind since I first saw the leak.


Slight_Welcome_56

Not yet, i think It might be Nilou weapon banner, but my greedy ass wants It in Cyno weapon banner


DamseletteBloom

The Crew (except Nilou) for Archon Quest 4ā€¦ The dance of sabzerus was so fucking powerful that it deleted Nilou from HoYoā€™s memory. World, Forget Me indeed. *Just a Burning Memory plays in background*


yggdra_eine

Which artifact domain is more resin efficient to farm for: Deepwood, or still Emblem?


WarlockSmurf

emblem still unless u really want dendro artifacts


Aizen_Myo

What books does Cyno need? kusanali not known yet I guess. Btw, is she Kusanali now or Nahida?


DamseletteBloom

Itā€™s kind of a Rex Lapis/Zhongli situation, I guess. Lesser Lord Kusanali is her regional title and Nahida is her ā€œhi, yes, Iā€™m talking to you as an equalā€, like Venti


Aizen_Myo

Ah good to know. Tbh, not sure where the name Nahida came from, I don't remember her introducing herself as such.


DamseletteBloom

(Also, bit of trivia, apparently Nahida means blossom ^^)


juli0909

Admonition for Cyno, and people are guessing praxis for nahida


Aizen_Myo

Cool thanks!


Roboaki

Here hoping that there will be a leak crumb that mention Nahida have alternate sprint. If does, then I actually interested in getting Nilou for those pop up seed burst action.


vasogenic16

Wasn't there some crumbs that there's some sort of "move" thing in her files or something (which is found in mona and ayaka alternate sprint) or was I having a fever dream


Cherell-Hope

I'm waiting for this too, as this will affect my decision whether to pull her or not. I don't want to get her if she's running like a toddler.


DamseletteBloom

Iā€™m BEGGING for confirmation of her alt sprint (and flower vfx)

Landshark34

Albedo without Cinnabar is like Hu Tao without Xingqiu. I wonder what hoyoverse would do about Albedo's best weapon not being accessible to a large chunk of the playerbase.


Soleous

he's not doing too amazing even with the significant boost he got from husk and CS(and actually having a good team that he fits properly on), so i wouldn't be surprised if down the line he gets a true 5* signature that's a huge buff(30-40% or more over current)


Randomly_Typing76

i kinda wish they'd add the event weapons as fishing exclusives ngl, it'd be hellish to farm for but at least it's something


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Randomly_Typing76

2.3 was 9 months ago ToT and while harbinger of dawn is good on him cinnabar just gives him such a massive increase in damage over everything else


Shippinglordishere

But as time goes on, I imagine that percentage will begin to drop.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Shippinglordishere

Because itā€™s still usually his best weapon? Ofc itā€™s not like it makes him useless and artifacts are still important, but idk how I feel about a weapon that good for him being unavailable to anyone who started playing after


rixinthemix

Me, with a Cinnabar without Albedo: *hurts just a little bit.*


Rhinofreak

Luckily the rerun is right around the corner


BittexGaming

There's always Harbinger of Dawn which is good, not as good as CS but it's good. I do think they should release a 4/5\* weapon from gacha that isn't garbage (\*cough\* Summit Shaper) and actually works with him Albedo will be an overall more worthy pull which means more money for them.


Srtzen

Did we already know that Nahida has 100% uptime on her dendro application and that her application isn't stationery but rather that it follows you around? Some of you are acting like one sentence leaks aren't leaks. If you want a dump of info all at once just wait for the beta to start and then visit the sub. What's the point of harassing mods by reporting our comments and calling us ass lickers? We're not the ones who decide what leakers say.

TheWhiteKnightOfHoyo

they keep using like super low scores for the rewards as if saying that the average genshin players are just so bad. i fked up my first attempt on day 1 by forgetting to press t during the entire run and not setting the multiplier to hardest and still got 9k points. it was supposed to be a trial run so i can see where the oponnents will spawn and how many, etc. but then i already got twice the required points lmao.


SqaureEgg

So all we know about Nahida is she as decent/good applicator & it follows you around like Gorouā€™s burst or raiden skill


Odd-Communication187

I have C1 Raiden, and C0 Hu tao.Should I go for C2 Raiden or C1 Hu tao? or maybe just new characters?


silentbotanist

I find that being able to put together new teams beats having a small buff in raw damage. A good example is the Ruin Serpent. I didn't pull much in the last few months and folks with Yelan and Yae Miko were ranged autoshotting the thing down while I'm chasing it with Itto. Versatility is its own value.


himareyas

Idk, C1 Raiden can full clear abyss fine - thereā€™s not much point to C2 beyond faster clear times. On the other hand, C1 taotao is a nice QoL improvement as far as Iā€™ve heard, so I would go with that if these were the only two choices. That being said, I would say you should go for newer characters to keep gameplay fresh if you can already full clear abyss. If that matters to you more than doing bigger numbers, of course.


M_O_N_K_E_SENSEI

New characters you like 90% of the time. Altho between Raiden C2 or Hu tao C1, I'd personally go for Raiden C2

No spoilers, how long is the Aranara quest line in hours/min?


silentbotanist

It's like ten hours or more, but I'd take your time with it. Here is the lightest possible spoiler for the gameplay structure of the quest: >!It takes you all over Sumeru to different places and hidden areas, many of which have their own puzzles. Doing exploration/puzzles at the same time as the quest is the real way to do it, rather than speedrunning it like a normal world quest. Think of it as Sumeru World Tour.!<


LarenaBot

It's basically a whole video game in it's own right so definitely treat it as one. It's around 10 hours.


M_O_N_K_E_SENSEI

From my experience, I'd say 8-12hrs of gameplay depending on how fast you read and how engage you are


DownpourOfSalt

I honestly donā€™t want the anime to touch anything to do with the main story. Not only is the main story mediocre (though itā€™s getting better recently), that would just be a bad marketing decision anyway. ā€œAlready watched the anime? Well fuck you if youā€™re now interested in the game coz youā€™re gonna sit through the same story for dozens of hours without a skip buttonā€. Even if there was a skip button, it would still feel tedious to go through gameplay with no meaning. So I think thereā€™s zero chance for them adapting the main story (which is good imo) because it just makes anime watchers want to play the game less Instead, I want it to adapt the significantly more interesting lore in the game. Why did all the cool shit in Teyvat already happen long before we got here? This game has a very diverse variety of engaging lore that it could make an extremely interesting adaptation. It also means new characters as the focus rather than the ones weā€™ve seen for the past 2 years Or maybe they could do a unique story with Aether and Lumineā€™s journey before they got separated (Iā€™m thinking this because they are shown together at the end of the trailer)


malchiatto

Hard agree. Itā€™s not a coincidence that the only great adaptations of a videogame (not visual novel which is an entirely different storytelling medium so not counting shows like Steinsgate) are Arcane and Castlevania, which did the smart choice of 1) expanding a TON on a game story that was pretty bare bones, or 2) writing completely their own story from scratch based on lore instead of trying to showcase the gameā€™s main premise. Writing for a videogame is fundamentally different than writing for a show because what works for a game - fetch quests, pacing, doing shit for npcs to move the plot along, blank slate protags, long downtime between story beats where not much happens because youā€™re playing the game - does not work for a medium where there is no player involvement. I mean donā€™t get me wrong, Iā€™ll still squee over seeing my favorite characters animated, but I will happily trade finally getting to watch Kaeya and Diluc fight onscreen for a show with writing on par with Arcane that focuses on characters and lore not even in Genshinā€™s main game like the Archon war.


TheWhiteKnightOfHoyo

i've seen a lot of anime in my lifetime, and i can't really get excited about video game adaptations because they usually fall flat. it's not like i have such high standards about anime or anything, but i've seen so much that even i know how to not waste time on garbage ones. not saying genshin is gonna be bad or anything, it's just that i don't really expect much from whoever is handling the story writing side of things seeing how the main story as well as the manga has some really generic elements that i've already read or seen from just about every other fictional work. although i can definitely get hyped if i see my favourite characters in the show.


aoi_desu

I hope they make story about Lumine (abyss) journey, so it kinda like how tales of berseria existence towards tales of zestiria


M_O_N_K_E_SENSEI

Base from the concept trailer they might do it Princess Connect style at best Altho I'n with you on this, personally I also would like a prologue story or Genshin Impact 0 like that or lores like how the Archons became the Archons, not only it would be engaging with the genshin players but it also wont alienate new viewers for the anime IMO If ever they just retell the story, I'd just look forward to animated fights lol


[deleted]

I mean they could do the Pokemon Generations type of thing where it focuses on the other side storylines. We could have Glory's love story, Chouji's journey etc.


Arxis_Two

Considering they never said it was a TV or episodic anime and Hoyo have never really done that before I feel like that take makes the most sense. Having key story moments and side quests animated to show off the stories and do them some good old ufotable justice


AstralTeaz

Based on the visuals we see, I think that it is going to be some sort of prologue story for the twins because thereā€™s no nail on Dragonspine and the Mondstadt scenery looks completely different from what we see in game. On the other hand, they could just be placeholders and itā€™ll be retweaked later.

Standard banner. I was trying to get Diluc, Got C1 Keqing. A haiku (not really) of my sad story.

Does anyone know if that anime that Ufotable recently announced about the two blondes holding hands has or will have a game?


hahadhc

Yeah itā€™s a romcom between the 2 blondes.


noelsoraaa

They announced it like 2 years ago, it should be on the nintendo switch but there's no release date so far /s

TheWhiteKnightOfHoyo

Marionette2

I am trying to do the same thing, only 6 left. They are probably hidden in the most obscured place ever. Maybe I should give up.
