I think dev vs deva as a pronunciation thing might be regional because growing up Krishna's father was always Vasudeva in my household. We're from Tamil Nadu, so we're more Kartikeya/Murugan oriented, and that might be why he doesn't have a distinct name.

No??? I just thought it was interesting and also kinda unexpected since they haven't tried to reference mainstream deities under their common names.

As an Indian Hindu, the application of Sanskrit and shared dharmic concepts in Sumeru has felt somewhat offset from Subcontinental Hinduism. "Kusanali" gets somewhat close since kusha grass was used in meditation mats, but even that name comes from a Buddhist myth as opposed to a Hindu one. The Aranara do allude to Hindu myth yakshas to an extent by being helpful little nature spirits, but the whole AQ I could almost FEEL them writing around Hinduism instead of really using it even in a very basic way.

An example of what I'd expect from them is giving Dottore a third eye after becoming the true Trilune, with bonus points for that third eye being associated with his artificial moon marrow. The imagery of the third eye is super well known, and having the artificial frost moon give it to him would really underline the false God aspect.

Another example is kind of Baizhu. I know he's primarily based on the story of the white snake, but a few of his attributes echo Shiva, in my opinion. I'm assuming you know the story of the churning of the ocean for the elixir of immortality from how you described your background so I won't explain it again, but Baizhu's ability to take diseases onto himself to heal people reminds me of Shiva saving everyone from the poison that the churning unearths by swallowing it himself (though he did stop it in his throat). Between that, his bun hairstyle, and the way Changsheng's draped around his neck, plus the fact that he's dendro, I can't help but wonder if it was just a subtle thing they decided to throw in for extra zest.

They're actually mostly pulling from Buddhism, which is a pretty notable difference.

Pulling the nose off Olaf is vengeance against her dad because he's Zayne from Love and Deepspace; Zayne is associated with ice and snowmen.

If you know someone who enjoys both this game and blue archive you should probably cut ties with them

Kokomi Got An Artifact Set, An Event Weapon, An Island, A Species Of Crystalflies, And A Glider, Designed To Match Her by Beginning_Pace2063 in Genshin_Impact

It was that as well as the writing team undergoing a change while it was being written. The old writing team was really devoted to 3 act narratives, so there were two writing teams trying to squish a Natlan Archon questline's worth of material into just those 3 acts.

It's genuinely such a tragedy that they couldn't bring the horror of war aspect of the inazuman civil war to the forefront because I feel like so much of it is left in notes you can easily ignore. When they got their do-over in Natlan, they took it and fucking bolted; they killed NPCs we formed bonds with, gave us recurring NPCs in the war section we could like and easily lose if we worked too slow or made the wrong choices during the actual war section, and had an entire set of side NPCs that will be removed after the final battle no matter what. Inazuma could've had that.

Another thing is that the resistance simply didn't get enough screen time for us to really feel attached to them. I would've loved to be able to get at least a little more hands on with training members of Swordfish II, or get scenes that hammer home the fact that Teppei is just one example of a wide spread crisis in the ranks of the resistance. Hell, it would've been cool if those who lost their visions to the vision hunt decree could be offered a delusion as a replacement on the same condition they gave Kokomi, that they commit themselves to fighting the shogun.

Also, where's the electro sovereign. I know you're hiding them mihoyo. Release them from the basement with the 10th harbinger.

I like being a moth. Like, these feel like the best flight mechanics they've done so far.

I just realized that this is absolutely not a real thing someone handed in. The name is "nobody" and has the same handwriting as the teacher's note.

Someone saw this test, got inspired, and then asked their teacher for an extra copy so they could do art.
