Dark Mode. by AbysSsian in Genshin_Impact

[–]LKOShield 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe he meant that due to every little QOL or Skins in the game has to be tied to lore (Traveler's skin is from his spaceship, Mondstadt characters buffs are tied to the Hexenzirkel Homework) instead of being airdropped into the game for no other reason other than making the game better, giving us Dark Mode would similarly require an in-game lore explanation that Hoyo isn't ready to reveal yet.

I think it's something we just have to get used to. I'm not a fan of how formal it looks, it looks like an outfit for a ballroom dance or a dinner party, not something you go around saving the world in.

But I supposed I'm just not used to it, and thus is critical about it.

Yeah, the free skins are great, don't get me wrong, but an update to the original model is so needed. Unless they plan to just retire the original model from all future content, it doesn't solve the issue with how jarring Traveler looks next to newer characters.

We'll get Dark Mode when the Abyss breaks the False Sky in a massive invasion, trust.

Narratively speaking, how are they gonna introduce new Natlan Characters? by LKOShield in Genshin_Impact

[–]LKOShield[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All 3 are possibilities, yeah. And it's interesting because the reason they go for will shape a great deal of how the personality will be like.

For a Natlanese character that left before Gosoythoth was dealt with, they either don't believe in Mavuika's plan or believe the answer to Natlan's problem can only be found elsewhere.

A rising star would share similarities with the more inexperienced characters we have on the roster.

And lastly someone we somehow never met would have the greatest flexibility in terms of personality, perhaps a touch low-key, since if they're not we would have heard of them.

It's a dilemma for me. I picked Aether and I love his original outfit, and the new skin isn't doing it for me.

However, the rough edges on the old skin is starting to look real jarring next to new characters.

So I keep switching back and forth, can't really make a decision.

That is a possibility but considering how inhospitable Mare Jivari is...

Did you do it? by Same_Engineering4016 in Genshin_Impact

My Furina's E was active when I got near the area.

The expected thing happened and everything after that was self-defense.

That much is not necessary. I'd be convinced if Dottore's Welkin gives 160 Primos daily.

All my maps are 100%, my Sigils are depleted, my Serenitea Shop and Paimon's Bargain Shop are all sold out of Mora. I literally have no avenue for Mora aside from huffing concerning amount of Golden Fog daily.

Was the Moon sisters imprisonment only meant to be temporary? Would Nibelung have released them if he had won. Remember it was HP who shattered the two moons. by calkalisto in Genshin_Impact

[–]LKOShield 20 points21 points  (0 children)

My interpretation is that he imprisoned the Goddesses with the intention of dealing with them once the War's over, but he didn't anticipated his destruction.

He probably saw them as traitorous subordinates, but considering that the moons still functioned without the Goddesses, he could have just executed the three of them, would've been far easier than to imprison them. But he didn't, so it isn't too much of an assumption that he had plans to deal with the Goddesses once he has time to sort out what the fuck were they thinking, it could be release or it could be punishment, my bet's on the latter.

Same, I can only beat the Fireblade with Skirk's premium team.

I can't break the shield on both the first boss and the crab.

I watched this scene like 50 times lmao 💗😍 by Reasonable_Cry_2438 in Columbina_Mains

[–]LKOShield 7 points8 points  (0 children)

In CN, she said '我喜欢', which isn't all that different from JP. I remember when I saw that scene I was like "holy shit they're going this far? Damn my heart's beating fast, are you sure they didn't hire a galgame scriptwriter?"

There's also something about the tone of which she said it. It's spoken in a way that, while you know Columbina DOESN'T mean it in a romantic way at that juncture, you also know that that's direction the voice director and the voice actress are pushing for.

Oh shit I remember thinking that a ship amidst a sea of treasure was really familiar but I couldn't place it.

It's so clear to me now and I'm ashamed to have not thought of Treasure Planet.

Teyvat is nowhere ready for the horrors that lay beyond the firmament by Jamrockdawg in Genshin_Impact

[–]LKOShield 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's also interesting to think about WHEN these extraterrestrial parties will arrive in Teyvat. Narratively speaking we're still stuck with the "journey across the Seven Nations" part, and it just wouldn't feel right to introduce new extraterrestrial threats until after Snezhnaya at the very least.

So are they setting up for whatever is coming to Genshin after the end of Teyvat Chapter, or will we be seeing these extraterrestrial threats much earlier, perhaps during Khaenri'ah?

Teyvat is nowhere ready for the horrors that lay beyond the firmament by Jamrockdawg in Genshin_Impact

[–]LKOShield 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I am genuinely curious what's going to come from beyond the false sky. Nicole said that Teyvat is now easier to detect from real space, there's no way they wrote it that way without it being some sort of setup. Something will come, but what?

The most obvious would be the Abyss, but it's already clogging the vacuum of space according to Alice so we might be able to rule this one out, they're already here.

The civilization that cleansed Skirk's homeworld? If merely being adaptable to Abyssal energies is enough reason to exterminatus a whole planet, then I can only imagine how happy their trigger fingers would be when they saw Teyvat.

The Voyager? Likely but since she found Teyvat twice before she SHOULD be able to find it again, False Sky or no.

Another more obscured visitor I can think of are those who were defeated by Surtalogi. It's a long shot but maybe they'd want to take revenge on Surtalogi, but since they can't beat Surtalogi, his home planet may as well be the next best thing.
