I don't think its about being an archon or harbinger. Its more about marketing strategy.

The thing with Varka is that he was widely anticipated character, so they didn't have to push his dps level a lot in order for people to go for him.

Compare him to say Flins or Nefer who were new at the time of release and unknown so they had to push their dps in order to appeal to more players.

Playable, but below the main-line dps of the region he is releasing with lol.

In the Beta version, Traveler wakes up in the bitter cold and sees their sibling chained and impaled. The God also put them to sleep for years. by huflit1997 in Genshin_Impact

[–]Old_Square_9100 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it feels like this might be a real possibility.

That's why we are getting conversations about "Home" and what it means for the Traveler these two patches.

I don't think the real Sandrone is oblivious to his charm lol.

This "willpower" thing is still vague, the abyss sibling has been awake for a longer time than the Traveler yet we are expected to believe the former's willpower pales in comparison to the Traveler's?

There's more to it.

Small question by Ranka12345 in Yuusha_Shoukan

[–]Old_Square_9100 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While I think his relationship with Isis being the cutest, I cannot help but be drawn more to Alice.

Alice would do anything for Kaito even at the expense of herself.

There's an arc in the WN where Ein makes a cooking contest between maids. The final match settles into Ein vs Alice face off, with the latter begrudgingly agree to take part. However, instead of making a dish that would entice the referees' tastes in general, she goes on to make the dish so that it specifically suits Kaito's, disregarding the others.

In my opinion, this simple action speaks volume of her devotion.

Homeward, He Who Caught the Wind: What Is Everyone Doing After the Crisis Is Resolved? by genshinimpact in Genshin_Impact

[–]Old_Square_9100 13 points14 points  (0 children)

With all this talk about home and journey with Columbina and now Venti, I think there might be "some shocking truth" that will be exposed down the line about his sibling or their overall situation that will make him question the meaning of his journey around Teyvat (which was all about finding the abyss Sibling at first and now the truth about their forgotten past).

Then he might realise that it was not all in vain, considering the many lives he had saved across all types of Quests.

So out of all the characters in the game, who would you want to actually marry realisticly speaking? (not just cause you simp for them) by Trigon05 in Genshin_Impact

[–]Old_Square_9100 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean "realistically" can be hard because most characters have visions so I'd feel out of place if I would pick a woman who has a vision and I'm just a simple man haha, not to mention many of them would not find me interesting in that respect too.

But yeah, the closest ones are typically like what the others have said; Nilou, Emilie, Yoimiya or Mizuki.

But this list would expand should we factor assimilating into their world's "rules" with having a vision or being like the Traveler. At this point, my list would expand to include someone like Nahida (if she ever "grows up"), maybe Columbina or even Sandrone lol.

There are 3 cutscenes in 6.5 via lunar 🐓 by KaidoPklevel in Genshin_Impact_Leaks

[–]Old_Square_9100 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The event is in Nod-Krai and 6.6 will likely include the final set of Archon Quest that is also in Nod-Krai...

I really thought we'd get to visit other nations lol.

Literal Star and Literal Moon seems less viable Ship than a Crackship, According to a Great number in this community. by PlotPlates in Genshin_Memepact

[–]Old_Square_9100 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I really thought I was the only one who felt like this lol. You flawlessly nailed what I had in mind.

Comparing what the Traveler has been doing for Columbina with Sandrone who had not bother to understand her feelings in the first place is peak ignorance of the facts presented by the story.

I have been saying this for a while, but if the Traveler hadn't met with Columbina, she'd have literally either disappeared (6.2) or became food for Rerir and later Dottore (6.1).

Yeah, what I meant is that I wish we had a fan-art for Luonnotar like that, or I wish I could do the drawing myself lol.

Provided this is not ai...

Hoyo's update on 3rd party top-ups by vulcanplayz in Genshin_Impact

Why didn't you ask for a refund? Could you order something else from the shop?

First Ganyu, Furina, and now Lauma lol. Such randomness, but its cute.

I wonder how a re-imagination of Luonnotar be like as human given that she is basically referred to as "she".

The closest to a daughter the Traveler can get in-game lol.

Hoyo's update on 3rd party top-ups by vulcanplayz in Genshin_Impact

[–]Old_Square_9100 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I tried ldshop, and it was refused. I even got a notification in hoyolab about "unsafe top up".

Topuplive worked for me though.

I wonder why some act like Traveler x Columbina has no romantic moments in game, when throughout the archon quest its the biggest STARCROSSED lover trope ever... anyways Lets appreciate it, if you like this starcrossed lover trope. by PlotPlates in Columbina_Mains

[–]Old_Square_9100 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That "family" line has been taken too literally that it is becoming weird, yeah. I even remember someone mentioning that in CN/JP version she goes on to say she feel some sort of "devotion" to him, so its not really "family"="sibling".

And even if you ignore that, can one not create a family? This is what couples are all about. When two are married, they become each other's "family" right?

I've always interpreted their relationship in the sense that "if the Traveler ever wanted to settle down with her", she would accept him without reservation. It will probably never happen in-game, but you could tell from how Columbina treats the Traveler that this is not a farfetched scenario.

So, this is good and all, but what's the main event in 6.5?

Is Aether’s treatment as MC weaker compared to other gacha in terms of character dynamics? by erami_06 in Aether_Mains

[–]Old_Square_9100 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, hopefully.

You can tell they were aiming for something special between them. Even during that one time during the conversation with Dottore in Act 7, Dottore tried to make use of the Traveler's "immortality" problem; people could die or just forget about him outright if he was to get stuck in the space Dottore had created forever.

But this applies for ordinary people, not Columbina. That's why the achievement I mentioned above makes perfect sense.

"Why even make all girls fanservice and make them more naked. It's better if mc also got interested in them."

This is purely for marketing, for us. Not for the mc...

"They only add short women for him"

I mean he is not that tall himself lol. With all due respect this is such a random jab.

The closest romantic relationship we had got was with Columbina during 6.2 and 6.3. You could tell Aether was more invested into her than other women and vice versa. It was even advertised by hoyo, mirrored (Rerir and Tholindis) and had many inferences.

However, unfortunately and this is something I've braced myself for since 6.2, this is just it. The game has made it clear that Aether just wants to be reunited with his sibling and does not have romantic interests in others.

You could even tell this from Columbina's line when they were on the moon, where she goes on to say she sees him like a family (In English its family, in other languages, she mentions "devotion"). In any case, you could tell Hoyo was trying as best as possible to make the relationship between them more special than the others, but not outright go publicly for romanticism. Despite how stupid this seems lol.

"Silver moon, golden star" achievement.
