natlan
Varesa redesign
I posted this on my tt first but I thought I could post it here too
965 hours turned useless the moment Týr Odinson appeared on screen.
New wishing ritual: spending 20+ hours drawing the character you want!
idk whose it was to add vitiligo to Xilonen's design but I love it so much and I love her 💛💛
All those ppl on twitter saying 'Boycott Natlan' yet not deleting the games are a bunch of morons 💀
Edit : Please dont take this post as me supporting hoyoverse . I dont, however all these new anniversay rewards are clearly targetted to players who quit the game. Obviously quitting the game is the best method of boycotting yet yall still wanna play a racist game. ❤️
Spoily warning! 5.0 Natlan archon quest and also a bit Fontaine archon quest
So, when Capitano said "You heard something from here, didnt you?" everyone just kinda assumed he was talking to Olorun. But theres a trope of the protagonist having a dream about the villain discussing/inacting their evil plans and then the villain addresses the protag directly, seemingly aware of the protags presence. This theory is kinda half-baked but maybe its like when the Traveler dreamed of Childe in the primordial sea...
just a thought tho :p
“What use is the Gnosis in your hands?” “I don’t know what you mean, but it sounds like this is about more than the Tsaritsa.”
Everyone else: “Capitano has personal stakes in this?” “He is going against the Tsaritsa?” “What does he want?” etc etc
Me: Mavuika doesn’t know what a Gnosis is and/or doesn’t understand what they do?? Is she even the archon???
I've been eating my words . . . 🥲
I will fucking riot if they kill this man... Don't do it, hoyo.
Siri, play "Monster," by Lady Gaga.
OMG HE'S HERE!! THE CAPTAIN!!!
OMG OMG OMG, I MISSED THE DROP, BUT HOLY HELL—
HE'S HERE! At long last, Capitano is here!!
My husband has arrived!! 😍
Don't worry, he'll come home. Trust! 🙏
YES I AGREE WITH THIS BUT BE SURE TO SIGN THE PETITION!!
NO NEED TO DONATE IF YOU CANT, JUST SIGN IT AND MAYBE FILM A SHORT VIDEO
"Well, Hoyoverse is a Chinese company, obviously they're not going to make playable darker-skinned characters with actual dark skin instead of just a light tan-"
I WILL SHOVE Y'ALL FACE-FIRST INTO ARKNIGHTS AND DISLYTE UNTIL YOU STOP USING THE DOGSHIT "CHINESE COMPANY" EXCUSE.
Plus let's face it, the fact that they almost always reserve the darker skin tones for NPCs and enemies should be really bloody telling.
Is it just me or does Mavuika look like a Drag Queen or sth
The Natlan anti-whitewashing petition is here ☝️☝️
Now seems like as good a time as any to tap the sign, since I've received a few asks lately that assume I'm a qualified hoyo spokesperson. I am not, I'm just some guy!
This also means that I have no control over character design decisions – in fact, I have as many complaints as you do. If you want to express your opinions in a way that's more likely to reach the company, I recommend using the current in-game survey and this petition that's been circulating in both the Chinese and global communities.
I used to hate on ororon bc of his design, which (still don't like it), but he's so funny.
He's so funny unironically he just does stuff and when questioned he'll say the most outlandish response as if it's the most normal answer. All that boy wants to do is grow his vegetables. (He's 100% a stoner too idc)
So I played through the final Natlan archon last night .
HOT TAKE despite Natlans 6 really enjoyed the second and third act of the 3 archon quests.
The first one with the Pilgrimmage and saving Kachina was eh. It was interesting to actually see the Night Kingdom though.
The second one, when it came to the war ATE SO HARD. I enjoyed it because it accurately showed how devastating and tough a war actually is. The inazuman war didn't feel like a war icl. It was actually good seeing how dark the devs would actually take the story. And it actually tugged on my heartstrings seeing how the nation was affected by the war.
The third one? The power of friendship final arc?
Beautiful. I loved it. We actually got to see an archon (besides Nahida) do some shit. Up until Natlan 2/3 Nations we were in had active Archons ruling. (Furina is her own category that poor girl was doing TWO jobs at once) And while story wise what happened makes sense for Mondstadt and Liyue, interacting with Mavuika actually felt like interacting with an archon. From gameplay to story I enjoyed the archon quest in natlan. I really wanna see how the Tsaritsa tries to get the Gnosis from Mavuika. (especially considering Mavuika is a powerful opponent)
Also ik people make jokes about Natlans power of friendship theme. But I have to say it makes sense for the story. The traveller has been operating alone in their goal so far and has spent the entire time doing side quests while in Tevyet. Their only goal is to find their sibling however there's a major possibility they won't find their sibling (i believe in the twin is dead theory ) The traveller has to trust other people in Tevyet as I believe they will need the help of everyone they've met or helped when if comes to achieving their goal (even if that is unclear to us the audience right now). From the moment we woke up in Tevyet, there's been an overall theme of community and people working together.
All to say I loved this part of the natlan archon quest. They handled the theme of war in natlan so beautifully. Despite everything else (character designs)
I have sm thoughts on genshin impact lore and current story relating to natlan and thoughts on natlan as a whole.
Like how half baked natlan feels. also that mavuika feels like she wasn't the og archon the devs had in mind. Like the exploration is there but archon quest? nah.
