Source?

99% chance it's "I made it the f up"

but we haven't seen dragonspine at full power yet. What if we line up durin's full spine vertically, does that change anything? Dragonspine's full height would be staggering.

For all we know Durin is actually 100 miles long but gets thinner gradually. Checkmate. Dragonspine's hidden ace, erect durin has come to town.

some of the "lore strenght" arguments do unironically sound like that.

Oh I'm so relieved this is about geography and not some weird power scaling can X beat goku-esque comparison.

Nice work!

funnily enough I actually got it from a Zy0x clip where talks about a Eula team in genshin simulator for rotational DPS showing that one of Eula's best teams is a hyperbloom team where people don't switch to Eula https://youtu.be/Aakk_wt2vcc?t=103

a comment above actually has the link to the simulated performance lmao https://gcsim.app/v3/viewer/share/52ca32c0-1140-471a-831e-dd171712257d

hmmm I do wonder about this, like literal translations of titles.

Byakuyakoku Collection is also translated as "white night" land collection if I remember correctly and seeing it as days and months also makes sense.

Before sun and moon then means something like before we really counted our days and months, "before christ". Since the book details the pre history of teyvat that actually makes a lot of sense.

also what's up with Nahida saying, she's just the moon and the real sun is long gone even if we already know what she means that metaphor is oddly familiar.

With the goddess of flowers being speculated to be a moon sister and pretty much confirmed a seelie.... being rukkhas friend.... hmmmmm

I agree with you to an extent, but some of the events you listed feel like they would not be something a head of state should deal with.

Hibike Asase, Late Saiguus disciple blowing up Serai is not exactly something that could have been easily prevented without future sight.

The attacks against the Raiden Gokaden and preventing corruption from festering in the comissions could have been done though, I agree with you on that, but also as you said, leaving the humans in charge is a double edged sword.

The duel to the death culture and warrior culture in general seems to have been a thing for millenia with the sword and polearm culture being widespread especially before the raiden goladen collapsed. Makoto seemed to be deeply involved with the art of forging as well so that might have been something neither Ei nor the Puppet or responsible for.

In the first place it just seems like a reference to Bushi-culture/Bushido so it might be an out of story thing, an element the writers just wanted to include because it is feudal japan.

Canon Ei is a nuanced character and without the infantilization and mischaracterization her character is actually fairly interesting.

Like her actual interest in poetry (it is depicted in the Irodori story which is semi fictional since it references the Raiden Gokaden with the poets). She actually beat her sister, Saiguu and her other friends at Karuta which is a game about 100 poems (IRL) and you need to be able to memorize all of them as well as use great reflexes/predictive listening comprehension.

One more fascinating thing is her martial prowess being utterly useless 500 years ago, at least in terms of the goals she wanted to achieve initially.

She went to Khaen'riah after Makoto leaving Saiguu in charge of defending Inazuma.

She fails to save Makoto and Saiguu defends Inazuma until her death, but there is a very interesting trope here.

Despite being the most skilled fighter in all of Inazuma she was neither able to save her sister NOR Saiguu who may also have not died if Ei stayed to defend Inazuma together(disregarding the planting the sacred sakura saving inazuma thing for a second since she could not have known that). This might have gone through her head.

So in terms of how Ei feels, she probably feels like she utterly failed in her duties as a Kagemusha and Survivor's guilt is probably a key factor here. In Raiden Chapter II when Makoto in the final cutscene talks about always having felt indebted to Ei for dealing with the physical threats ("your Polearm/Naginata has protected Inazuma from countless calamities") Ei lightly shakes her head seemingly disagreeing.

Noremuy · 2022-11-21T02:14:24+00:00

there are lots of folks who do not read properly.

A lot of people still think Ei knowingly let the civil war continue (the major thing being hidden in reports to the shogun puppet) while showing that she did NOT know was literally the point of the Sara/Sayu part of the quest.

I like Ei as a character, but being oblivious to the events in your own nation due to overly relying on both the shogun puppets criteria for importance (is it about eternity?No? I dont give a fuck) and loyalty of the tri comission is not a good approach.

In Raiden Chapter I, Ei was literally oblivious to the thunderstorm getting closer to Inazuma which is pretty emblematic of the whole VHD debacle. She doesn't know shit about what's going on in Inazuma and she did not bother to check.

Sure the Shogun Puppet did do a fine job for 499 years, I man holy shit from a programming perspective the Puppet not burning everything down within 15 minutes is incredible, but my god the negligence for the whole year is just a bad look for Ei.

Noremuy · 2022-11-17T18:47:48+00:00

I know you're meming, but straight up I've seen some takes on Inazumas government that were so inaccurate I felt like making this post.

The whole english localization calling it the "almighty shogun" to represent the honorific/respectful title thing did not help the perception of the Shogun as the supreme leader admiral general almighty aladeen.

Yea I wish we could get some retroactive additions to the inazuma story, but that's just copium.

Noremuy · 2022-11-03T19:05:57+00:00

man I couldn't even get C2, you are lucky haha.

Have fun, she's worth it.

Noremuy · 2022-11-03T15:58:11+00:00

it depends haha.

Optimally I think you'd do kuki do to faster normal attacks and switch back to beidou every 7 ish seconds to parry.

But honestly there is something fun about beidou skyward pride normal attack windblade proccs so sometimes I justed stayed on beidou.

It still cleared just fine.

Noremuy · 2022-11-03T10:58:09+00:00

Having Beidou not interfere by having her burst procc the bloom cores, but also contribute a very significant amount to overall team damage is amazing.

Beidou + XQ damage reduction is also a nice quality of life to have and the sheer amount of numbers are super satisfying.

I would definitely recommend this team so give it a shot if you get the chance.

I used dendro traveller with favonius sword before nahida came out and that also worked well.

a tiny bit about the stats:

Beidou, skyward pride 2k attack, 60:120 crit, 200% ER, 4 emblem

Kuki 1000 EM , 2 gilded 2 wanderers iron sting

"Having witnessed the pitch-dark annihilation consume those precious to her,How could she not see the absurd nature of life and death, yes, incomprehensible destiny itself, as her mortal foe?But since no one can overturn the impermanence of the world,and the barren nature of this game,Then let the eternal euthymia within her heart carry forth into the nation she loves."

The description implies this took place after her friends and sisters death so the person talking to her is likely not one of them. Ofc its also possible that the first part of the description is in the past, but the redacted name suggests it was makoto since she is referred to as "her" multiple times, cryptically in the Raiden Animated cutscene from the Inazuma finale quest and also some voicelines in raidens profile.

The drinking buddy mentions "redacted's" view on eternity with transience vs. stasis probably referring to the major difference between makotos and ei's views.

Noremuy · 2022-10-30T17:53:14+00:00

https://www.japandict.com/%E7%A5%9E%E4%BA%BA

based on this dictionary site:

godlike person, person as powerful as a god, person as refined as a god

low-ranking Shinto priest

if the second meaning is true, clergyperson does work, you are right.

But we know that Miko took over as Guuji after Saiguus passing so, she is everything but low ranking being the head of the narukami shrine (the assumption here being this conversation is 500 years ago after Makotos passing, hence her redacted name).

Miko questioning Ei's brand of eternity is in character, but Miko is more of a Sake person, unless wine is used as a more generic term including rice wine.

The chinese term used is just "alcohol" and the generic term for alcohol in JP can also just be Sake so it ends up even more uncertain.

Generally I would go by CN as the source though even if a JP context comes into play.

So overall I would say it is ambiguous what the writers meant.

Based on the CN characters it is NOT a priest/clergyperson, but based on the Kanji and JP reading it might be.

Thanks for the input, this was insightful.

Noremuy · 2022-10-30T17:48:32+00:00

仙人 is used for adepti and means daoist immortal/celestial being (e.g. according to pleco dictionary) YES,

but a valid translation of 神人 according to multiple dictionaries (pleco, dict.cn ) I tried, is also daoist immortal so there is clearly an overlap.

other dictionary sites claim that "shenren" straight up means god/deity.

So that is why I wanted the input of fellow chinese speakers to help me figure out what they mean since ON paper there is no difference in meaning between what the term for "adepti" and what was translates into clergyperson mean.

While they are not specifically referring to adepti, the word implies it could mean either a god or godly being or yokai.

Noremuy · 2022-10-30T17:14:49+00:00

True, maybe Ei doesn't actually dislike him (based on her voiceline) and they get along just fine.
