>>270784They really need to change her burst and remove the HP scaling from constellations and put it in her base kit. If she's intended to replace a shielder she needs to be able to tank consistently, which means she needs buttloads of HP. Some kind of team healing passive for the damage she deals would be better than her taking a percentage of damage for the team too.
Apparently they are making changes to her because the testers are saying she's pathetically weak, but if they stick to her current playstyle I don't see her being strong enough at any one thing to be worth being a 5*. They need to either overhaul her to be more supportive (probably the better way to go) or make her burst work with the current Hydro supports, buff its numbers, and change her scaling to crit.
I can't believe they made her burst a qte and didn't think about the several enemies that will just reposition and dodge it, wasting the whole thing. At least Ei has the option to chase after enemies.

>>270815his original palette was so much more unique and striking. while there's elements of the new one I like, OG still wins for me by a lot and it hurts.
the worst part is they barely do skins, so I don't even have faith they'll resell his old look or a new outfit inspired by it…
they could've at least worked more red into the new design, his eyeliner doesn't match anything else any more.
No. 270847
>>270840>>270815I'm the exact opposite. I love his redesign and disliked his Fatui outfit.
The hat, veil, color scheme, and top half are ok. The shorts and belt armor were dorky as hell.
The new pleated shorts and cute bow look so much better. The new color scheme looks really nice against basically all scenery in-game. We have way too many blue characters but he's probably my favorite blue design so far.
No. 270860
>>270836tl;dr her scaling is all over the place (split between attack, HP, and EM, same problem as Xinyan where no matter which stat you build something in her kit will suffer), her numbers suck (too low, her HP and attack both need to be buffed way up), her E doesn't deal enough damage and redirects damage to her and her burst just plain sucks, it's an uncontrollable punch flurry that an enemy can just dodge or walk away from since you can't aim it or stop to reposition her and it doesn't apply XQ blades so she can't vape with it. She's this weird tank/burst dps that sucks at both jobs, because if you need tankiness you should just use a shielder like Thoma or Yanfei and pyro has way better DPSes.
Hoyoverse needs to decide whether she's going to be a tank/support or a DPS and tune her accordingly, because right now her kit is all over the place in an even worse way than Xinyan's.

>>270840The designers have similar experience to a tumblr artists and first year designers I swear to god.
I'll explain to you how they think:
Blue being the dominant color (Scara, Yelan new fountaine characters etc.) means safety, trust, intelligence, order… etc. And enforcing it with Monotone colors/black and white enforces that meaning to the max.(Yelan, new fountaine blue character)
Analogous colors still have the same effect with some lenience (Scara)
His older design had traid/split complimentary that usually mean chaos and with the dim purple (mysterious, royal…etc.)making red(danger, violence، rage..etc) shine and that contributed to his character well
Since they seem to abide by the rules, why is this so bad? Kaeya has the same colors, why hasn't no one complained? It's because they're breaking the main rule that they need to have creativity to the point even people who know nothing about design and colors and noticing.
What they're doing now is doing the most brain dead shit that isn't allowed kek "what's the main thing in his/her personality? Huh trust-worthy? That's every character, all characters are trust-worthy. Blue." blue is also a color you feel safe putting your money into I.e. Bank so spend money on them, people flgoid spending money on anything blue especially if they're under the effect of FOMO lol
How can this improve on this? Simple, use other colors to allude to the main color for more variety ie his old design, use Monotone as a last option because it also leads to a one-tone character (Eula) and distribute the white and black better since they do lead to lead to better design visually at first, due to simple -> easy for the mind to digest but then the simplicity of everything described with one adjective will destroy any world building and reason to care.

>>270954Even though I thought these were random npc mother and daughter but good. I don't have a horse in the shipping stuff but if they're gonna ship Zhongli with Guizhong she better look like a mature woman with an elegant look. It's been forever and a half since Liyue's Archon quest so my memory is fuzzy, didn't Zhongli speak fondly of her in way she was like a passionate goddess-like lady who was friends with him and the other adepti?
Salt salt I know but I wanted Chinese elegant lady design from Genshin because I swear I remember being promised as such in her description, it's no coincidence that all artists drew her as a graceful lady- instead, long-sleeved kid.

>>270984What's funny is that if Guizhong was doing the same things with Zhongli as she was described doing with Ping, Zhongli x Guizhong shippers would call it confirmed canon and rub it in the faces of every other Zhongli x whoever shipper. But now that it suddenly turns out she was in an intimate relationship with Madame Ping instead of Zhongli they're seething like mad with their "not everything has to be romantic, they're just friends" commentary kek. I hated Guili shippers from day for creating the lore out of thin air forcing their fanmade canons on everyone even to the point of trying to shill Ningguang as the "reborn Guizhong" because they couldn't cope with her being a lesbian, so let this be a lesson to them to go fuck themselves.
Anyway they have a really, really cute dynamic and I'm glad it turned out like this.

>>270999>muh fujos ruined my guili shipHave you
seen the apeshit Chinese Zhongli yumes who went absolutely ballistic over Guizhong's existence stealing their husbando and how they threatened Mihoyo over it? I think you're better off being mad at them because Mihoyo couldn't give less shits about the opinions of fujos. Whichever the case, even if they retconned the entire thing into Guizhong being more relevant to Ping than Zhongli I fully welcome it.
No. 271001
>>271000As I said, I don't care about Zhongli nor Guili nor yaoi. It's just a fact that Asian fujos went ballistic about Zhongli not being an 8000 year old virgin because Tartali has always been a very popular ship.
>they retconned the entire thing into Guizhong being more relevant to Ping than Zhongli I fully welcome it.I agree with you, it's a much cuter relationship. I hope Madame Ping is going to be playable.
No. 271002
>>271001Why would they give in to fujos when they're an extremely niche audience compared to others and they rarely care about the canon anyway, and even risk getting jail time if they're too open about what they like in the mainland? The much more probable outcome is that they heard the millions of Zhongli husbandofags who didn't like the idea of having a rival waifu. Just like they keep all the girl characters pure and virginal for all the male waifufags who would otherwise threaten to shoot up their office if their personal best girl is taken by someone else. Seriously, just recently husbandofags in China tried to make Mihoyo get rid of Kaveh because he was too close to Alhaitham kek. It
could be that Mihoyo revised the story of Guizhong and Zhongli but let's be real a
lot of what was theorycrafted between them was just that, fanfiction created by people based on very limited snippets of the story that couldn't be interpret either way.

>>271010Multiple danmei (i.e. Chinese BL) authors have been interrogated or jailed by officials, the most well-known case being MXTX who had to move her business to Singapore to get her books into printing but got 3 years in jail. So yes, it's a thing. It's also why Mihoyo migrated their publications under Cognosphere, to escape the censorship in mainland China and it's why the Chinese servers applied Rosaria's extreme boob nerf and put Mona in a leotard to hide her ass.
>>271012Then why do you care so much kek? Just be happy that Guizhong and Madame Ping are an implied lesbian couple and thank yumes for pressuring Mihoyo into it instead of seething over some fujo boogeyman ruining a fanon love story.
No. 271034
>>271010No, the yume audience isn't bigger they're just louder and have more power because they can play the "homos are gross" card and cry to the CCP if something bothers them. I would say the fujo audience is clearly bigger since lofter is basically 90% gay ships (and that's where all female artists post their art/fanfics) and I found random fujos on nearly every chinese platform. The yume audience is still sizeable enough to be recognized by the game developers but keep in mind they sometimes overlap with the otome crowd and the hetshipper crowd so we can't know their exact numbers anyway. Normies and men are also more likely to side with them so they have extra shielding, while fujos tend to be attacked from all sides (but that happens in the west too it's not a china-only thing)
>>271015Afaik mxtx was jailed (allegedly) because she illegally published novels, not because of the content inside. She also had a bunch of unhinged antis and trolls (who were also fujos btw) who were mad at her because she didn't make their ships canon and because she was "too famous", so her situation is a bit complicated. Fujos in china are definetly on thin ice though, but it's not illegal to be one or anything like that since many of them proclaim to love BL on weibo and no one says anything. The gov is just very autistic about explicit content (and not just the gay kind) and we know fujos are the community most likely to churn out sexual stuff…
No. 271044
>>271034>Afaik mxtx was jailed (allegedly) because she illegally published novels, not because of the content inside.However that's basically the go-to excuse the state executives use to jail people to save face. Like protesters in China get jailed for "creating civil unrest" when they're rallying against human rights atrocities, and using a VPN is seen as a "terrorist action" and/or treason. The "jailed for illegal publishing" pretty much stands for "publishing illegal content by using a proxy" in the context of CCP. It's not illegal to be a fujo, but you have to thread very, very carefully which is why a lot of content creators move their business to other countries. Not only fujos, but also everyone else creating content that could be seen as dubious.
Chinese censorship is actually a really interesting topic not a lot of westerners are aware of and Genshin's silly cleavage covering got clowned on a lot because nobody realized how the government could essentially just take over Mihoyo if they refused to comply and gain all the revenue or cut their funding if they wanted to. I sometimes wonder if a lot of what happened in Sumeru actually mirrors their experiences.
>Normies and men are also more likely to side with them so they have extra shielding, while fujos tend to be attacked from all sides This. If men specifically are given the chance to punish women for liking something they don't, they'll support any cause wholeheartedly.
>>271039Generally speaking the Chinese side of the fandom is a lot more amplified in its insanity than people realize no matter what corner they sit in. Fujos in China have a lot of unhinged internal drama too, but like you said it has to be kept below a certain line to keep flying under the radar. The yumes on the other hand have free reign to sperg how much they hate gay people because it's openly encouraged by the government or how no other bitch can touch their husbando because they can always threaten with reporting the company to the officials for whatever indecent thing they can come up with.

>>271055I'm not able to dig up the sources right now so you just have to go on the trust me sis basis, but in a nutshell they were losing their minds over Alhaitham's key idle and threatening to report it to the officials for gay propaganda and even before that they called Kaveh a "green tea bitch" (綠茶婊) which is basically a Chinese online slang term word for someone who's trying to cuck you out of a husband by deception.
>>271056Yeah and this, those few fujos got scorned hard by their community for joining the hate too.
No. 271063
>>271061I meant that the few fujos who joined those yumes in their hate weren't approved by the Genshin fujo community as a whole because they all love Alhaitham and Kaveh, as to my understanding and getting authorities involved would be bad for them all. Not sure if I phrased that correctly. Ironically enough those yumes hating on Kaveh were also saying "Mihoyo doesn't consider the feelings of their female players" which is just nonsensical kek
>Also if i were a yume, I'd rather husbando kaveh not someone extremely cold like alhaitham kekI don't know, my guess is that it has to do with how effeminate Kaveh is and how the entire pretty boy thing is being ran down in China currently. He has more of a gay best friend vibe to a woman than a husbando.
No. 271070
>>271065>Saying that is like saying solidarity between men is a meme because they have waifu warsIt's
not like that at all kek, they don't take that nearly as seriously. They're rarer than ever now; with the rise of porn, men just coom and coom and no longer care that much about the characters they're doing it to. And I didn't just mean that within the fandom context but in general. You are right that it's due to a long history of men pitting us against each other though, it's become an unfortunate female socialization staple.

>>271002Fujos aren't a small part of the fandom at all but get scraps? Yes. They drop hints for bl ships because they know men don't care about male characters. Same goes for Yumes, all characters are in love with the traveler, so reading the Kaveh thing shocked me, wtf?
It always came across self-inserters > shippers with how hard some characters break character just worship traveller kek what's with the Chinese fans?
In my humble opinion I don't think they key animation is hint to the ship as much as it's unintentional asshole based on the expression he gave, but there are other things that hint to the ship better, like why not go after the sentence "we are roommates" if they're serious? Or his trailer? Weirdos.
What is the statics on his sale btw? I have several whale male friends on genshin and they ignored him when they have all the rest?of they guys C4+, is the "key animation" affecting sales or something?

So what should mihoyo always pander to yumes just because they're a bunch of rich spoiled brats who expect every character to worship lumine? I'm glad mihoyo at least has some integrity to give the characters their personal life and relationships. Also it's good that they plaster aether everywhere, giving across the message that this isn't their otome fantasy game and it's instead directed at multiple audiences. If they want otome, just play tears of themis. The mc is already idolized by everyone in teyvat just by existing, what more do they want? If they think a set of keys is enough to ruin a character then they're unironically mentally ill and should seek therapy and take some meds. The female (yes not everyone who works at mihoyo is a scrote) writers/staff love alhaitham and kaveh and shouldn't have to bow down to any insecure bpd-chan. I'm pretty sure alhaitham is selling very well in japan so they're not worried about that

>>271154>>271149Back in my day, Yumes would also like a bit of yaoi since it's like your reverse-Harem trying to look sexy or something. Are these even genuine reactions from Chinese Yumes? They never minded when tartali was at its peak and loved it even, so uh, are the western twitteros got in there and started complaining about Kaeluc and such? I've never seen the equivalent of proshipper dni except for them/them - retarded I know
I hope fujos and yumes calm down and stop going against each other because all it is girls tearing other girls for the same reason. Recently The vitriol between Guili, GuizhongxPing, LuminexZhongli and bl!Zhongli girls are trying their best to flame each other on social media and for what? Characters smooching and that makes them giggle?
Same goes for bl!Alhaithem and yumes, both spit poison and act shocked when poison is spat back. Save all the nice arts and fics no matter the subject and be as entertained as possible, no need to keep this pointless struggle when the goal is one

People cry pandering but Alhaitham and Kaveh are written so lovingly I wouldn't doubt some based fujo in the writing team decided to just go crazy with the options. I generally don't have a problem with yumes but like you said the Chinese ones are the kind of rich spoiled brats who spend daddy's money on the game to whale for their husbandos and generally act insufferable everywhere.
>>271154China has been cracking down on "gay propaganda" extra hard during the past two years, after they essentially banned "pretty boys" a lot of Chinese male models started bulking up and changing their bishounen image to suit the new regulations of manly men only. So some of them must be hired trolls to put a dent in Mihoyo's business, especially seeing how dirty the competing studios' practices can be like that Tower of Fantasy thing generating fake 5-star reviews and ripping off Genshin's assets. But because Genshin is a worldwide sensation and now based in Singapore with their international releases and a heavy emphasis on the Japanese market they keep churning out beautiful men Chinese government be damned.

>>271162For me the problem came with Guili shippers when they made up the entire romance between Zhongli and Guizhong based on practically nothing and even co-opted the song playing when Traveler met Xiao to somehow be a Guili lovers' anthem just because they said so, and now that the canon Liyue lore was expanded upon to clearly show how irrelevant Zhongli is to Guizhong in comparison to her loving relationship with Madame Ping they're trying to downplay it as them "just being friends" simply because it's two women instead of a man and a woman. Shipping is just for fun but people having obvious double standards mirrors real life homophobia and that gets to a lot of people.
>>271190To be fair Ayaka (and maybe Noelle?) is the only girl that simps for the traveler to such embarrassing lengths, granted I haven't played all of the female characters' hangouts. Most of them just feel friendly, the male characters seem to be much more flirtier in nature like Childe, Xiao and Albedo.
>>271138Theorycrafters doomposting over a male character get btfo'd once again, what a surprise. I'm enjoying Alhaitham a lot, his numbers might not be SS tier but he's extremely enjoyable to play with nevertheless. The nerf sucks ass but I really enjoy his playstyle. I feel like the banner sales were affected by the initial panic over his multipliers and Wanderer and Ayato's first rerun sucking the husbando collectors dry, maybe he'll do better in a rerun.

>>271211If men had any self-awareness, they would realize Aether's too cute for them to self-insert and Zhongli and Diluc too handsome.
Anyway, I've seen a small handful of Zhongli self-inserts that wanted to pair him up with Ei. Never encountered a Diluc self-insert before, strangely enough. Maybe the majority are just too uncreative to self-insert as anyone except the main character.

I'm gonna drop this here, a bit of rant so be warned lol
Just finished the lantern rite and I don't get if the people who worked on it where too busy fapping than pay attention to the lore
Guizhong was supposed a wuxia-esque woman who has interest in tinkering and maybe, maybe not Zhongli and her were an item or just friends who cares she died rip
In here he basically serves no purpose (why add him then) and implying Ping and Guizhong are an item, but like, excuse my existence, isn't Ping a grandmother? Yanfei's? She had a family before and surely a husband that brought Yanfei's mom/dad(forgot who), why retardedly make it Yuri hint when ping is an already established character? Guizhong and Cloud Retainer would've been a better pairing since Cloud Retainer is single and they would've have adoptive daughters even
I swear they're just throwing things and hope it sticks. Part of me thinks they went this way so no one is pissed, they gave a new pairing for Yuri fans, Zhongli for Yumes is still a virgin for them and Yaoi fans are happy since Zhongli is a virgin for Childe/whotever. I don't even think Guizhong x Zhongli fans want this Guizhong tbh
They keep doing this shit and let remind you, Beigguang, probably the only pairing everyone agrees on had a flirting scene in a Moonchase, a limited event instead of putting it in a permanent similar to being unofficial ffs. Limited event basically means new players/players who missed it wont know about because it's just fanservice to them. I didn't even see a hint of flirting in their hangouts which is stupid? Why bother then.
I don't know if this event's lore as bad as I'm feeling it is or the disappointments are accumulating I feel paying attention to anything is pointless now.
please 3.5 be good with any lore. I sometimes wish I didn't have this sunk cost fallacy, but I swear the potential it had is what made me waste time on it.
On a positive note that cheered me up, Alhaithem's is hitting 37k per mirror in his burst, literally deleting everything and my friend's Ayaka can't keep up lol
No. 271287
>>271282First of all I want to say that I genuinely can't believe how hard Guizhong being lovers with Madame Ping is breaking the minds of all the Guili shippers, they go from these stupid copes like "b-but ackshually they're just like a mother and daughter because height difference so you're supporting incest btw" to "lol who cares about shipping anyway" to "actually Guizhong can be in a poly relationship with both lol!" back to "who gives a fuck about shipping not me!" and then to "fuck the lore who even reads this stupid story!!!".
>isn't Ping a grandmother? Yanfei's? She's not. She looked after Yanfei because her actual parents fucked off. She doesn't have a family, she literally spends all of her time reminiscing after Guizhong.
>I don't even think Guizhong x Zhongli fans want this Guizhong tbhThey sure didn't, they wanted a manic pixie dream girl mary sue getting railed by Rex Lapis, not a geeky lesbian creating things kek.
>They keep doing this shit and let remind you, Beigguang, probably the only pairing everyone agrees on had a flirting scene in a Moonchase, a limited event instead of putting it in a permanent similar to being unofficial ffs.Doesn't make it less canon.

>>271287Anon, I swear just because I don't like this version of Guizhong doesn't mean I want you or any Guizhong x Ping to die or take it away from you, I don't even ship anything, okay? Shipping is supposed to be a hobby in fandoms not a life style, right? I'm disappointed in the direction Genshin is getting since last update so don't take it that I'm Guili shipper or whichever shitty ship that gets you and others upset.
At the end of the day, it's a ship, don't pour your anger you got from Guile girls on me, it's two characters fucking who curs lol
My main complaint was HYV Yuri, is trash, not the Genre itself. I hated it in Honkai and hated it here, but I guess we'll agree to disagree.
>they wanted a manic pixie dream girl mary sue getting railed by Rex LapisLOL for real? I guess it's in teen spaces, they look like father and daughter.
>She looked after Yanfei because her actual parents fucked off. Oh shit my bad, heard her say granny and grandma and thought she was her real grandma since I do remember her parents gtfo.
>Doesn't make it less canon I didn't disagree with that, my point was HYV's yuri is for the fanservice only and they should add these hints in the permanent content.

>>271297I legit don't, just wanted to rant about few things on my mind, why would I be ashamed to ship?
>you sure do write long discussion openersI wouldn't mind discussing anything at all, but when it starts with "you're a shipper of a ship I hate" I don't think things will turn sweet.
I thought Ping had a family and She's Yanfei's grandma, which is why I said cloud retainer, that wasn't the case sure, but even if she isn't it doesn't change HYV handling Yuri badly because it's so surface-level and lacking any permanent content when it's treated god-like. I put a rant warning because I know shippers are sensitive for some reason
I'm glad you and some other anons found the content/ship entertaining you guys, for real. I'm hoping 3.5 doesn't disappoint with

>>271303>An interaction between a male and a female character is vaguely referred to in some item description with no mention of a romance between them >omg they're LOVERS they're 100% canon, lover's oath is all about them and Ningguang is Guizhong reborn>Actual canon story chapter comes out revealing in great detail with cutscenes about how the female character actually has a much closer and more loving relationship with another female character who calls her her one and only soulmate>sigh WHY can't they just be friends?!! not everything has to be romantic you know Also

Hey nonnies 10-pulls aren't luckier than single pulls whenever I get a new wish, right? I feel like I always see someone posting screenshot of a 10-pull that has multiple charas in it, I am trying to get Alheitham so I feel free to pull as soon as I get a new wish but the only thing I get are shit weapons and I really only get a character every 10th pull (and sometimes I even get a weapon instead). Is it just unlucky RNG or should I save my wishes and do 10 at once? Or is single pulling in one session better than randomly whenever I get a new wish? It's just that my luck is so bad I don't know if I'm doing something wrong.

Just finished lantern rite and holy shit mihoyo is feeding us fujos so well. The Xiaoven, Zhongven, Xiaoaether and Zhongxiao fanservice they gave us. I watched different playthroughs and whenever the traveler blames Venti for making Xiao uncomfortable he goes all soft and says n-no. When you blame Zhongli he gets super protective and frustratingly says it’s not that at all!! I died of cuteness. Even the way that Xiao only came because he knew the traveler would be there, way too cute!! And the glances and gazes Zhongli and Venti shared! I can die happy.
If you go to the crux you’ll see Venti and Kazuha talk about how Beidou won’t let them drink alcohol because they’re too short! Again, so cute!!

She just sucks. Whenever a male character has sucked they haven't pulled these shit explanations.
>Imo I think she's another Yae, will shine with the next nation dropping kekObviously. Dehya can't use XQ or Yelan a few patches before the hydro nation drops. Huh I wonder why?
Meanwhile Alhaitham works with XQ/yelan, has a great kit at C0 and does not need constellations, does T0 dps damage, has great f2p sword options and has teams centered around the best dendro reactions. It's so nice to finally see the scrotes seethe with their shitty waifu's kit.

If Fontaine somehow makes her better (but I don't see how it wouldn't make every other pyro DPS 10x better) then people can just go for a rerun. No one should pull a 5* that has no guarantee of getting better, there's just as much chance that they're abandoned like Xiao was for two entire years.

>>271630>Or it's a weird colorism thing that they're going to use to justify not making dark-skinned characters I’ve heard this colorism thing a lot and I just don’t think mihoyo thinks that way. Kaeya is one of the most popular male characters among the Japanese and Chinese fujos and he’s a very strong 4-star at C6. Cyno also is popular amongst at least Japanese fujos from what I can see and his kit is good, he just lacks a good dendro support tailored to him. I genuinely believe that they’re trying to rework kits that are bad, like Keqing and Xinyan, into new characters but just failed with Dehya.

Dehya got nerfed even further on Monday, which I just don't get. There's no way they're getting feedback that she's too strong.

Since you're new
1. don't use the primogems on the blue wishes, only the rainbow ones
2. When you wish on any banner you get stardust, 15 per wish, you can go to shop > Paimon's bargain > stardust exchange and buy 5 rainbow wishes.
3. To collect gems quickly, go to quests and look at the rewards, do the ones that give you primogems
You have 12 days and a half to get him, I believe you can and if you go to "events overview" (compass icon) you'll see an event called "The exquisite night chimes" (opens after finishing Liyue's quest) and May "fortune finds you", those give nice amount of gems too.

Chests are the same no matter the difficulty, it's the enemy drops (hilichurl mask.. etc.) and boss drops that will be affected by just a bit. And then you can revert back no problem, except it's after 24 hours minimum. Not sure why.

I’m doubting these Baizhu leaks. Why would they let Gorou, Cyno and Itto past censorship but Baizhu’s cropped shirt suddenly needs to be changed?

>>272244Any leak this ambiguous before a beta is always unreliable af I feel. Like the anon above me said, they're remaking his badly rendered outfit. There has been more revealing male characters, the crop top isn't a huge deal enough to be censored.
>>272229The best thing I do is basically realizing that a character/gacha can't make the game fun. I got 4 new characters during Sumeru and after I had built them, which took around 3 days each, I was bored again. Gacha doesn't cure boredom with the game, new areas and story/lore content is the only thing making this game interesting.
Also nonnies the most retarded beta nerf happened to Mika's animation where he went from getting a unique shy animation to a generic pose. Why bother animating something just to delete it? The 3.5 beta is just so incredibly messy, with deyha's kit being designed as a 3-star and all too.

So Mika will probably be in Eula's banner not Dehya, being physical support and all, basically destroying any chance of getting him. I got Eula by mistake when wishing on her banner instead of Albedo like an idiot as the banner choice resets when you exist wishing even if to convert primos to wishes in shop (before they finally found a solution) and now she's collecting dust and I sure as hell don't want a C1. Like Layla, I'll have to rely on getting them randomly which sucks, I still don't have Layla lol.
>>272244Trustworthy leaks will only drop after new update is installed, and only trust video.
Imo I think hell get a similar one like how Scaramouche was always shown with his previous one but now as a playable character he's got a new one, they'll find a way to change to another like "Ohai traveller, those were my pharmacy uniform but this is my tactical fighting ones let's kill!!!" and he will still have his old one in event and story quest but not for us.
Just be good new outfit and please. Don't be blue.

So for tall male collectors, we only have Baizhu and Kaveh remaining in this Sumeru update, probably a rerun for one until next nation drops. Would've been nice if we got a tall electro guy so my team could spam all types of reactions but there doesn't seem one planned yet.
>>272321Yeah Diluc sucks even with Xingqiu, his Vape isn't even that good. I do hope Fountaine breathes a new life into dead Pyro characters like him with good Hydro characters so your investment doesn't go to waste. But hey hope you get Alhaithem or Xiao asap nona I know the feeling sucks.

What do you nonas think about the lore theories. Do you guys think Teyvat is some kind of hell/underworld? All the archons have demon names, the sky and moon might be fake as Scara said plus there are no moon cycles, we’re climbing the abyss instead of descending, there are upside down ruins from some civilisation… I hope devs give us some sick lore and it isn’t just a coincidence.

>>272366Pic is wonderful, thank you for the laugh
I hope this is the case since there are these "heavenly principles" but there two things in my mind:
1) I sometimes feel that the devs/writers change things in stories that haven't been told yet and retcon stuff when they feel most of the players have guessed what will happen to keep it 'interesting' and subverting expectations.
2)this game is for teens, I feel they can't go as deep as 'this is hell all long!!!' because they might be told to tone it down and get shit like this is all a ~dream~
Things like Dottore's actions keep giving me hope that we can get dark themes but sometimes with how crappy and kiddy the writing get I lose hope again. Reward me for my patience with you Genshin pls

Why are nonnies freaking out about Mika being on the Eula banner when each phase of the update has 2 banners to pull from. So phase 1 for example could be Dehya, Nahida and phase 2 could be Eula, Cyno (Hypothetically). So Mika could still be in a banner you could pull on that’s not Eula.

I'd say this team is fun for bosses for I don't know for abyss, unless you can guarantee the 3 supports have their burst when they should every rotation then go for it.
Yunjin is a solid support for alot of characters, if you have wanderer she's really good with him too, and Childe or Cyno if you go the normal attack route with their attacks.

>>272504Holy shit you're right. I don't know why I forgot sales weren't based off of wishing but purchasing crystals and co.
Imo the only reason I can think of why Alhaithem's sales are probably low, or lower than expected is because players already have Nahida and have eyes on Yelan + Weapon banner. And that weapon banner sure looks good.

And seeing leaks from beta that say a character got their scalings nerfed from 700% to 200% is very alarming. It just happens that hyperbloom is so powerful that Alhaitham is still super strong.

>>272522Plenty of chinese games thrive with fujobait, genshin also did it a long time, idk why are they suddenly acting like this. From what I've seen star rail is also full of it. I think it's bad news for us because they might double down on "no homo" from now on (and same might happen to star rail too). The fujo community is fucking huge in china (BL series were literally more popular than straight romance so they had to ban them) and the game hasn't been really pandering to yumes lately so I don't think we've got an influx, there must be another explanation for this backlash. Also, isn't xiao super popular with yumes? Why is he also flopping? In fact xiao has been a flop since his 2nd rerun, and again his entire fanbase in china is made up of yumes. Alhaitham is actually meta so are male players really avoiding him because they think he's too gay? Metafags usually don't care and this time they're actually praising him. Shenhe also got a ton of backlash that lead to censorship but her sales were still decent. Also from what I've seen alhaitham still seems to have a big female fanbase in china otherwise they wouldn't be so mad over his nerf.

>>272566this and also, xiao's constellations aren't that good until C6. That's too much even for dedicated fans. Less incentive to roll for him even if you already have him. This is why they started moving the really good constellations up to C2 for the newer characters.

>>272642I strongly disagree. I think it’s a good ship, they have strong personalities on their own and balance each another in a funny way when interacting. They have better chemistry than most of the almost-canon straight ships, and I say that as someone who likes straight ships a lot too. Most of Genshin ships are dry as hell and the characters barely interact and when they do it feels artificial somehow, these two are cute with the keychain thing and so on.

They're so heartwarming and funny that I'm just filled with good vibes whenever I see them together, they care for each other so deeply that Alhaitham has two separate voicelines about Kaveh and mentions him in many of the other ones, highlighting how fascinating he finds him and his general attitude towards life. Despite being so stoic and selfish he still clearly cares about him and his wellbeing, and Kaveh looks after him just the same.

Damn it I'm late to the Alhaithem & Kaveh discussion (again)
All I wanted to say that I was a Alhaithem hater since his interactions with others in Archon quest sucked I thought he was as autistic as Eula with his knowledge talk but thankfully they added that scene with Kaveh to show that he is compassionate, funny, cute or warm (whatever you wanna call it) side,like a real likable character would be.
Now I'm a fan and got him and his weapon, happy ending kek
Also! His character trailer made me love Kaveh so much.
Thank you for reading this super informative opinion kek

>>272883I don’t hate the models but it’s genuinely weird how age works in Genshin. All the kid characters look around 5 but act like they’re 12-20 and even have a long lore that they couldn’t have if they were actually their age. I was super confused when I started playing Genshin a few months ago and met the florist girl and the Elon Musk hilichurl linguist girl that’s even some kind of a scholar. Because how the fuck do these kids already have jobs?? And the playable models look even younger than NPC kids, they legit look 5. Diona looks proportions-wise like the age in which she can barely form longer sentences but she acts like a tsundere teenager.
And the short models that often get infights here all act like they’re in their twenties/thirties and even have graduated schools, have deep voices, have jobs that would need a lot of years of work but look like they’re in their mid-teens. It’s pretty confusing.

>>272904It's due to limitations in the game, they can only have a few different models so every male who isn't a manly adult has to be put in the teenager model. It's obvious that characters like Tighnari and Cyno are adults because they hold positions of power and have vast experience and knowledge with what they do, but because they would look awkward being the same height as Itto and Zhongli they're given the teenager model. The same goes for characters like Keqing and Yanfei, they're clearly adults but because they're not "ladies" like Jean or Ningguang they fall into this crack of short female and tall female. Their canonical heights vary a lot more, see picrel where Aether is clearly a lot shorter than Venti despite them sharing the same model.

>>272908Diluc looks so beautiful in your pic,
nonnie. I honestly don't mind the limited models, it can't be helped tbh, with a bit of imagination you can think of the different heights and body types.
I just hate when people draw someone like a claymore character, say Diluc, like a twink when he carries around a huge ass sword, or Noelle who also carries around a huge sword, with a retarded microscopic waist, or when people draw Mona ripped when she's a poorfag who can barely afford any food.
And when it comes to the ages of the characters and such, I think we need some intermediate models or something to make the young adults, or more features for the older characters, but again it can't be helped because there's no way someone will take the time to basically redesign the characters, and it feels unnecessary because just by the context is easy to understand the kind of characters they are.
Like Kaeya, he's not a teenager, it's pretty obvious, but you can't say that someone like Bennet is an adult.

>>272904I think it’s because the two demographics they wanted to sell to are weeaboos and kids on their iPhones who use their allowances to buy welkin. Seasoned weeaboos think it’s normal for 5 year old girl characters to be war veterans, and kids genuinely can never seem to tell the difference and will go “no, plenty of grown adult men look just like the teen model, touch grass!” but they’re thinking of their 14 year old peers in school as their reference for what “men” look like.
Personally I just deal with that half the people in the game look like little kids because it’s a cartoon and East Asia is weirdly obsessed with kids/teenagers as a beauty standard. Cyno looks like he would throw rocks at cars and ask if I have games on my phone.

I never heard of any itto having energy problems. give gorou more ER and crit and use his ult before his skill, then use his skill right after to give particles to itto. throw ushi immediately for more.
>>273510no wanderer is the only dps. kaeya and chongyun were on that team because one floor had water shield abyss mages and I needed them to break those quickly. cryo gives scaramouche a crit buff so I used their ults on the other floors too to keep that up. both run nobless, kaeya c2 chong c6, wanderer runs the inazuman set that eats your energy, c0 r1.

I'm gonna go for Mika too but I'm going to wish on Albedo's banner so if I ruin my pity with an early 5* it's at least not Eula.

Not necessarily a big deal but the voice actress of new Dendro ermite lady keeps spamming "I voiced her!!!" on like the 3 videos I watched about the character, and replies as if she voiced an entire show.

>>274098>Paimon as a "nonbinary" Is it because she refers to herself in third person?
While voice actors are retarded sometimes, I don't understand the hatred fans have for voice actors.
I remember Childe's voice actor was wished harm when he was in the hospital for no reason.
Bennett's voice actress was bullied to delete a cringy video (it was cringy but the reaction was like she killed a child and ate it).
Diluc's voice actor retweeted cute Adult Diluc holding kid Kaeya's hand while walking and twittards raged as the artist, not him, was supporting Kaeluc and cried incest.
Tightnari's(or was it Diluc's?) voice actor was also flamed for saying racial slur in 2014 on Twitter.
Any more?

>>274043I play with JP but I like EN Tighnari way more.
Japanese Bennett is the best though, he sounds like an older teen guy, I could not play him in EN.
I also really don’t agree with anons that JP women are squeaky, I think EN are in general squeakier and sound more shrill. I think English doesn’t suit the moe anime girl tone of voice and that’s why it sounds so forced and irritating. Neither of these is my native language btw.
No. 274121
>>274115The only completely intolerable voice in EN to me is Kokomi, I refuse to pull her because every time I hear her Minnie Mouse squeals I want to punch her. It's a super unfitting voice for an intellectual strategist. Bennett's voice not being masculine kinda sucks but otherwise I think the English VAs are all better than the JP ones.
If I could read Chinese I'd probably play in Chinese, but alas, I cannot.

nahida's va is black which i didn't expect and she did nagatoro's english dub? and fucking ruins it btw because her speech impediment is real and not faked for the game. it's like nails on a chalkboard to me. idk what it is but i've never heard anyone talk with that tiny weird affliction before.

>>274643You can take it from me that all of them have 18+ Kaeluc fanart hotter then ones I have but being a fujo or yume is too normal and they're speshul.
>>274641Don't underestimate yumes. ToT is a game catered specially to them and twittards know it, they know if they made a big deal out of anything yumes will ignore them and continue doing what they do. Which is the correct reaction honestly.
It's the fault of many fujos who are afraid of idiots and abide by their 'moral' rule
I had friends who are slightly famous in Persona fandom who pretend to be a they and deleted their previous works, rebranded because they can't grow or get commission once they/thems report and lie about people and that hurts the algorithm.Idk why I always start to sperg when these subjects start kek sorry back to Genshin

>>274634Yeah it’s the most obvious fanservice relationship. As an old-school weeb I genuinely think it’s so weird how the genshin/anime fans on twitter are so against it. The "not really siblings but grew up as a family" trope is so common in shoujo and BL. I do think genshin must attract a lot of normies cause otherwise I don’t see why shipping Kaeya and Diluc would be an issue at all

i think it's dissatisfaction with their daily lives that make them so attached to fandoms. attached enough to spend a big deal of energy and emotions into fighting about it because they cant get as invested into their dissatisfying real life. when they spend their mental quota on games, they have no energy to feel sad about their realities. this happens to adults too. wonder if these teens are "30 year old weeb got into a crisis after playing games all day in parents' basement" in the making No. 274668

>>274641>>274652It's because no one gives a shit about ToT. There's no point in yelling at the 3 true and honest autists that do. Compare that to the massive popularity of Kaeluc and other BL ships.
No1curr about yumes at large except the male incels who hate everything women like, and fujos when they get harassed by them directly. Their community isn't in any way close-knit like the fujo community, all they do is make bad fan art of their overdesigned self inserts that no one interacts with and mass produce x reader fics. Interacting with them would break the immersion of the autism larp that is so common among anti zoomers.

Being a Genshin VA is too lucrative and many of these English VAs in particular are too parasitic. Just about every English VA who's officially announced nowadays immediately pretends to be the official characters, establishes a social media following, and somehow think their insignificant roles justify launching into a streaming career. I miss the old days when no one gave a shit about these people. Too many of these VAs are letting their Genshin roles get to their head.

They're not as extreme as the Chinese ones because the Chinese fandom is demented on all fronts to begin with, but still cause a huge headache. The anon

>>274767And anytime I want to buy Kaeya from store I forgot I spent all those glitters ugh.
Omggg I don't know why but kazuscara is the cutest one so far. I love Cynari and the like yet those two are probably taking their place in my heart. Oh why oh why did Scara delete his existence, the angst to cuteness from these two would've been the best content ever.
>>274835No anon they want to start a fight with a moral highground and I have no idea what is there to gain other than venting because their Twitter/tiktok doesn't have a block button it seems. Also love your tastes I've been craving some (good) sfw ship art.
>>274840>ittosara being shilled Literally everyone who shipped them when he was released got harassed to death because she's "Canon lesbian" for Raiden. I remember that because anti-sjw scrotes were crying about sjws and that heteroes were being bullied or something.
same for RosariaxKaeya kekk >>274841Okokok anon I'm gonna explain my "they could also be friends!" psyche so bear with me,
Whenever a relationship is mentioned, there is something in our brain (subconsciously) that simulates it. Imagine if this ugly fuck
>>274557 asked you out you would be disgusted, do you know why? Because your brain just simulated it. even though you haven't tried a relationship with him, you're still disgusted. This happens with everything, even Genshin's ships. Some ships you wouldn't mind and other you would for the same reason.
So when I saw the cutscene, which was normal and then you and others were calling it as official couple and totes in love disgusted me because I have a sister and friends that treat each other this way, we're actually closer now but the notion that any girl who likes or takes care of another are lesbians for them? However maybe you and your gf are like that and good on you both, that's cute tbh but don't attribute that behavior to ONLY lesbians. I used '"could" be friend' because I know this might be romantic to someone else but you (or could be another) went all ham about how I want your existence deleted.
>but that's fiction, Can't you distinguish reality from fiction? We all can, but it's the first reaction and mentality. Guizping shippers aren't lacking in IQ, they know but even though Guizping is fiction and my (or other's) assertion that it isn't romantic is aswell doesn't matter, they have anger accumulated from previous experiences that blinds them.
Like you won't hear me complain "they are freeends!!" about Ningguang and Beidou, for obvious reasons.
And I don't care about any yaoi because I'm no moid.

Also, you’re not those two characters and it’s weird as fuck how you think they are
basically you and your friends and should and would act like you would. Your life experience doesn’t matter at all,
> they have anger accumulated from previous experiences that blinds themI was impartial to the yumes vs fujos thing but if yumes like you get actually angry that people insinuate their self-inserts aren’t acting like you would because of your own

>>274865>>274867>making fanficsMaybe my esl was more dominant but I don't think so, I think the main points were clear. The "disgusted" feeling I get is when my platonic relationships are considered sexual. Wouldn't you feel the same way? Part of the psyche thing I mentioned for the fictional character part, taking it to I can't see lesbians/gays taking care of each other H O W I literally said if you're Lesbian good on you and I respected that by saying they /could/ not they /are/.

No. 274893
>>274879fellow esl here. I think I get what you're trying to convey??? There are some ships that individuals will inherently dislike and feel disgust towards. I have plenty of GL, BL, and het ships that I dislike and prefer as just friends for various reasons including due to real life experiences and dynamics. And when I see it and I see obnoxious fans loudly declaring it as canon, particularly in a fandom like genshin where the company likes to bait everyone for maximum $$$, it annoys me even though I know it's an unreasonable feeling.
I don't think anything is indicative of -phobia unless it's a trend. Do you only feel disgust towards GL? Only BL? Then yeah, that's pretty homophobic. But if you only feel disgust towards certain ships that remind you of specific dynamics in your real life, I don't think it's necessarily indicative of homophobia. Again, unless it's a trend and all the ships you dislike are yuri…
Twitter shippers absolutely have a tendency to yell -phobia at anyone who doesn't like a particular ship w/o considering whether or not someone just doesn't like the specific dynamic of that one pair. lol even the yumes and straight shippers sometimes yell "heterophobia" at people who don't like their pair.
But anyway. Obnoxious shippers loudly declaring their thing as canon has been a thing since forever in every fandom for every type of dynamic. As much as they can annoy me, they're still 100x more tolerable than the newfangled breed of fans who declare that a character must be trans and yell transphobia if you don't agree.

>>275012 said even the scrotes there that normally lack self awareness thought this design looks ugly and the whole idea of a weeb cat girl in a school outfit is so low effort that it's almost like it's making fun of them. That's like almost every 4-star female character in the game though, they're all based on a one-note trope and overdesigned to look like vtubers. Who are they even making them for? Nobody gives a shit about them.

Mihoyo has announced they’re re-recording Tighnari’s existing in-game lines. Let’s hope he can never find work again and dies from starvation

Livestream tomorrow! Might be worth a watch since the leaks for 3.5 sucked and we barely know anything except that Dehya is the worst 5-star character ever.

>>276631Checked in on reddit and the disappointment from everyone is immeasurable. Interesting that both men and women hate this. Women think it looks cheap, males think it looks dumb and the fully clothed looked hotter. I think mihoyo doesn't know how to make a design sell well to males aside from "show skin" and not even the target audience likes it because good design can be much more appealing (even to scrotes) than just some ugly clubbing clothes. And women of course prefer the cooler clothes over AI generated-looking sexy mess.

Honestly China censorship did genshin so good, I doubt it would've gotten so popular with the ugly-ass half naked coomer outfits and panty shots for every character the devs were planning to have .

While having muscles visible, he doesn't feel naked like Shenhe because Shenhe actually does have see-through windows all over her body. His model has muscly torso but he's wrapped in so much fabric he feels like a mummy when you move around with him. If you have him you know what I'm talking about. If he was more slutty I'd have nothing against it though as long as he still looks as cool as he does now.

>>278134the asymmetry is one of the worst elements of tighnari's already shit tier design. people worked months to develop stockholm syndrome for him, you know. back to baizhu, your crooked waist sash skirt hybrid doesn't make sense (and if you wanted one so badly you could've moved his existing sash to the front), the grell glasses were fine, and the shoe length in the new official design is better relative to the length and cut of his pants which you made look even more like sloppy joggers.

>>278672ive built both and have 5* weapons on them. for heal only, kuki is better since she doesnt need any ER which means you can stack HP% as you wish and has almost 100% uptime. but dori has the energy providing aspect, both with her burst filling up energy to the active character and from the bunch of particles with her skill (if you have another electro in the team). you cant move dori's burst while kuki's skill moves with you. though, i have noblesse on dori and tenacity on kuki, and ER weapon on dori and hp weapon on kuki, so my kuki heals more than average im assuming. my general advice would be to build dori if you need noblesse support + energy especially for electro and kuki if tenacity is better for the team (kuki skill uptime helps tenacity have effect almost always too) or if you just need simple constant healing

according to the latest lore the Abyss twin probably is somehow from Teyvat while the Traveler is not. Also the Dirge of Bilqis implies the Traveler was royalty back from where they came from.
Aether and Lumine's designs are clearly meant to foil each other, with the light/dark and long/short hair contrast. I think Lumine is pretty and her design is really tame compared to most of the girls in the cast.

No. 280029
>>279982Hard disagree, it was the best quest we've had in a while. All your complaints are either wrong or weird af, like how clothar having an "ugly npc model" makes the quest worse? Not to mention he already has the khaenriah eyes, already better than teppei or enjou. I really liked his character btw, making him so impulsive and emotional was an interesting and realistic choice for someone who was cursed with immortality but was previously mortal. The only way I see someone being disappointed with Kaeya and Dain interaction is if they were expecting Kaeya to be a mysterious abyss secret agent (TM) and then were disappointed that he actually isn't, I really liked how it's subverted the expectations and showed Kaeya being absolutely clueless instead and making the entire moment mega awkward. Makes him more complex tbh, since most genshin characters (especially the female ones) are distinguishable by their position in the world or origin and have no personality outside of it.
Sometimes I think that people itt just like complaining for no reason about this game.

Nonnies who follow the leaks. What’s your thoughts on Baizhu and Kaveh?
Baizhu has very outdated animations in my opinion. It pales in comparison to many 5-stars. His aoe is small too and he seems to be a melee character with a very small range. I still believe that he would be useful in many comps either way if you want to avoid Nahida. Kaveh on the other hand I cannot understand, is he only useful in Nilou comps?

Kaveh is a typical 4* DPS in Genshin. He's the budget option if you didn't pull for Alhaitham and he has a niche in Nilou teams. It's like how if you don't go for Scaramouche you can still do ridiculous wind punches with Heizou.

I'm a little retarded so I couldn't understand if hyperbloom would work for him too, if so, we can replace barbs with fish since he heals himself from dendro cores

Scara is gonna be in 3.6. He has joined the akademiya’s history branch. We have characters from all branches except for that one but I didn’t expect it to be Scara. Why name him Wanderer if he doesn’t wander? I don’t get why and how mihoyo is gonna rewrite him and his character to fit into the akademiya.

Just finished the Windblume story. It was so beautiful, hyv really cracked the code to making moving stories. The mini events are also fun and easy, makes you enjoy the festival. I'm glad we get these festivals in the game, it makes me feel closer to the characters and the world. Lore bomb in time limited event again but that's just how it will be i guess kek

tired of random small event stories i want the main story to continue with more fatui appearances already. best group of people in the game because they dont need to have the perfect character syndrome with the devs making sure we know they always do the right thing and theyre also very smart and theyre good at everything they do and they always do it for the good of the people

>>284838We’ll see how they’re gonna handle a playable female fatui. Leakers with insider connections seem to have seen some images of Arlecchino’s model so she’s probably next up making an appearance in the story. Most likely in Fontaine. Each region we meet a new Harbringer.

No. 286882
>>286783The other replies are that Fischl is better so I feel like an ass going against the consensus, but for hyperbloom kuki is the significantly better choice. For a hyperbloom team you want your electro unit to be two things, 1) built with as much EM as possible (since the hyperbloom explosion damage scales off the
triggering electo's EM) and 2) the ability to easily hit the bloom cores. Fischl isn't entirely ineffective, like she'll still hit bloom cores sometimes, but you can't control where Oz is shooting, so you'll inevitably have lots of bloom cores that don't get hyperbloomed. Additionally, Fischl is a character that when built for damage, is very good for it, by going all in on EM for hyperbloom, you're giving up the electro damage she could be dealing with an attack and crit build, but going for an attack and crit build in a hyperbloom team would also be pointless because then the hyperbloom cores would barely cause damage. Kuki is efficient to build entirely EM because her heals scale to some degree on EM and she barely does damage on a crit build anyway, additionally she's very easy to
trigger hyperbloom because her healing ring is around your character, you can just run up to cores and get hyperblooms.
If you're set on using Fischl instead of Kuki I would highly recommend going for a spread/aggravate team instead, swapping out Xinqiu for literally any other electro you have. Fischl is a very very good electro for spread/aggravate

>>286938Oh thank you for sharing the pic without text! I'm excited for the 3.6 event!
No. 286962
>>286939Hyperbloom requires a dendro and hydro to cause the seeds to appear, but the dendro damage that occurs when electro hits the seeds is specifically when hyperbloom happens, and that damage is only dependent on the EM of the electro character that hit it. Burgeon works very similarly in that the pyro character is the one to make burgeon happen by hitting the seeds, and that burgeon damage will scale solely off of their EM.
Alhaitham would still be doing lots of damage in your team, but the damage occurring as a result of his own multipliers will be the raw dendro damage he's attacking with as well as probably getting some quicken and spread hits, of which his own EM built would be relevant.

Beidou and Ningguang are female favorites, so is Yun Jin. A lot of women like Hu Tao too.

>>287802Different anon but I always thought moids didn't give a shit about Kokomi, I love her design and most of the fanart I see is very female-made because as you said she has the barbie mermaid vibe which is really popular with women and she's not showing off her cleavage, arm pits or ass cheeks and she's shown to hold a respected position. Her diaper looks silly but otherwise her design is one of the least malegazey ones in the game to me personally and I think that's partly why her banner flopped so hard. While the game is filled with shitty coomer meme designs like Mona and Shenhe and all female characters are made to appeal to men in
some way, there are still tiers to them.
>>287852>pedo-likeOh come on anon.

>>287801sis if you cant see a child character without only ever thinking of how lolicons would see her youre the problem kek nahida is one of the best written characters and her design is beautiful. some of you dont read the story or try to get to know the characters, then run your mouths here complaining about issues you never thought about by yourself and your lack of understanding of the issue shows so obviously when the topic is female characters designed for coomers and you bring up nahida

>>287873>female characters designed for coomers>not Nahida>that picThat’s unfortunately what Nahida is. Look at the picture you posted again. When a child npc dressed as Nahida it looked like a child. Nahida does not share that child-like model. She’s specifically designed to have hips for pedos to sexualize.
Just like Yoimiya-anon, you can like their personalities and stories but that doesn’t mean that they’re ever made for the female gaze, it’s all coomer bait.

>>287880>>287873>>287875I think it's fine to like Nahida, and there are cute forest sprite elements in her design, but there's a lot of disgusting coomers who make horrible and degenerate art just like for poor Klee. It's another case where you can immediately tell who likes the character or the design vs who is a degenerate.
The marketing team being absolutely disgusting with their ads when Nahida banner was running doesn't help. That team is definitely full of coomers.

>>287875>>287880>>287899coomers sexualise anything. i dont know how any of you can look at nahidas very much childlike body and think wow she has thick sexy hips when they dont even show any more than a shorts with a height real children wear anyway. she has the same child model as any other character and she looks like a child with no sexualisation whatsoever. either youre coomers at heart or youre too used to fighting coomer tastes that you start to see it delusionally in every design
>>287969do you talk to people outside of twtenby and femcel circles? sis is a normal common term retard
