What we learned: Lumine doesn't skip leg day Aether doesn't skip arm day

[@shanedoesyoutube8001]

Basically Lumine is Chun Li main, Aether is Muhammad Ali main Edit: or actually, Lumine is Heizou main, Aether is rizzley main

[@toastee5421]

conclusion: they both suffer from the twink curse.

[@aetherherrscherofnasigoren1417]

​@@shanedoesyoutube8001 Lumine is Hwoarang main, while Aether is Steve Fox main 😂

[@andrihusainsudra]

Lumine is Sideswipe, Aether is Ironhide

[@SaraAson]

Which is funny because Aether is the slightly faster twin and Lumine the slightly stronger one so really it should be reversed

[@benjamindelacruz4791]

Aether prefers to take in his surrounding, getting distracted or just really enjoys the scenery while Lumine is focus on the goal/objective

[@Anlous-i1k]

At the cutscene where the twins meet Jean, Aether looks around the office observing his surroundings, while his sister looks directly at the people: she first looks at Lisa and then at Jean

[@Succubus_L0li]

Well he had to protect his sister after all, so of course he's gonna be wary of everything around her

[@AraragiSenpaiSay]

Aether is analyzing the area, Lumine the people. Probably Aether thinks that is better to have a knowledge of the ground if anything happens, and Lumine to see people´s behavior.

[@fantafailgeek1485]

They were always traveling and fighting together , lumine like the energic little sister she is goes straight to fight , while aether like the protective big brother he is look around to see if there is any other threat. You can see in both cutscenes and attack patterns that aether is more calm and defensive , why he runs faster to defend others , while lumine is more enetgic and emotive , why she is more offensive and attacks faster than aether

[@audricmoyukhgomes2027]

Nah its just all the pretty girls we're getting that makes aether distracted.

[@jbsuba962]

So basically: Aether:"Curious feral boi with strong biceps" Lumine: "Goal set woman with strong legs"

[@doriankamanzi6874]

She also seems to have better swordsmanship or at least her stance is better. She usually keeps her stats while aether tends to move out of it when he's not directly rushing at someone

[@zelkovas]

@@doriankamanzi6874 she also does more damage than Aether.

[@Aetherr_01]

​@@zelkovasmore charged attack dmg by a bit actually, their dmg is same if same build and critting on both, ofc u can't expect a not even built lvl 20 Aether with a dull blade to be stronger than a lvl 90,full invested lumine right?

[@randyrandom3358]

"Feral" 😂 Honestly, Aether and Lumine are strong with both biceps and legs. As the previous comment mentioned, Lumine has more charged atk dmg by a small margin, while Aether with the male body type can run faster and farther So I'd say Aether's just being an action-packed protagonist while Lumine would just be "slay queen" pizzazz

[@AngieTheSilly]

Yk I love how the staff gave them different animations and little details because it shows they really put effort in both twins

[@Succubus_L0li]

It's because they animated it twice, of course it's not gonna be completely the same even if by accident

[@captaindanger13]

@@Succubus_L0li they were referring to the specific super obvious differences like lumine using 2 hands to get up while aether used only 1 during the scaramouche fight cutscene. also, for some of the parts where the animation is exactly the same, like in the combat scenes, they just model swap the travelers for a lot of it, which we know for a fact cuz there used to be a bug where sometimes a cutscene would show aether instead of lumine for a split second for lumine players back in the 2.x series of updates. idk if that bug still happens since I haven't heard anyone talk about the bug since, and I have aether.

[@shadeofthenight8988]

⁠​⁠​⁠@@Succubus_L0li so I’m going to be the um actually guy here but they don’t animate it twice at least not from scratch for the moments when the twins have the same/ almost same animation. For animation in 3d models what makes it be able to move is a skeleton and the model is just rigged to it with the ability to change what model it’s attached to. That’s how mods that change characters into another and why things like clipping happens because it’s animation meant for a drastically different model.

[@Dann69420]

I always find that Aether being more defensive. His stance pose, his blade placement.. and wherever he goes, he always look around, keeping awareness to the surrounding. While Lumine was total opposite. She's more offensive. Her stance and blade placement always indicating that she's preparing to strike. But she's weaker in defense, as we always see she holds her chest/ stomach longer than Aether indicating that she took longer time to recover. I guess when they're together, Lumine was the one to strike while Aether cover her blindspots, as their attack pattern always cover each other's vulnerable spot. Also Lumine has more charged attack scaling while Aether has more base hp and def. Imagine how vulnerable you're being separated like that. Not mentioning being nerfed to the ground.

[@aura8539]

wait so question, if lumine has more charged attack scaling and focuses on offense, is she more stronger than aether cannonly??

@@lorewalkermaohao4602 if it's the game settings, then how come it's the only noticeable difference in color throughout the whole video

[@lorewalkermaohao4602]

@@liaselleaeri ​ at 0:17 you can see the rocks in the background being slightly different shade and lumine's side is slightly more blurry while aether's side is more crips. This is the same throughout the video. at 1:34 you can see similar things with the pavement in the background, and the colors being slightly off on Amber (her hair and skin). In the first timestamp it could be due to ingame time, because those cutscenes are rendered in the overworld directly. That's why the clouds are different for example. But in the second timestamp that is a pre-rendered cutscene, so every model should be identical. The reason they are not is because of device settings, or possibly even just recording software being different. Clear signs of two different machines being used. I also just noticed that Amber is wearing a different outfit between the takes, so only her skin and hair should be taken into account, not her clothing. but hey, i'm not saying that Aether and Lumine's anemo actually is same colors, just saying that in this video it's not clear because of different devices being used to capture footage.

[@Zinph_]

I don’t know why but in the we will be reunited cutscene I noticed that the abyss twin’s facial expressions are like- idk different??? It may just be their models face structure but while Aether looked bittersweet and kind of hesitant, Lumine looked distant like she’s reliving a memory. It may not say much but to me it explains their personal personalities so well. Even though we can only speculate it seems as if Lumine is much more headstrong, determined as she looks back at the past without frowning or smiling, since it’s the past to her. While Aether feels more emotionally inclined, he looks at the past compared to the future and feels bittersweet. Anyway thanks for listening to this spiel, I play as Aether so it’s cool seeing Lumine’s side of things. But honestly I’m glad I personally chose Aether cause Lumine is much more mysterious to me- lol. Have a good night/day and to the creator, good job on the great video!!

[@DanaOtken]

One point I noticed immediately (it was why I picked her) was that Lumine had her sword in the left hand when they were together at the beginning. Despite switching her sword to the right hand since, the various combat animations make it clear she's far closer to ambidextrous, preferring her left hand for "spellcasting" where Aether prefers to momentarily free up his right. While the developers not creating separate Hydro Bursts (there are potential problems with making the "water ball" spin in different directions)) leaves me doubtful, it's still possible that Aether's professed favoritism for Pyro and Lumine's for Cryo (it's in their voice line banks) may differentiate their later kits.

[@taru5156]

so what the actual reason u picked her? bcs she is left handed? bcs she is a grill?

[@DanaOtken]

@@taru5156 I'm left-handed. I don't demand left-handed characters, and I don't always play one if one's available, I do not believe it's realistic in anything too based on our world for there to be a lot of them around (there are good reasons it'll be a steady 5-15% of any human population; even in a fantasy or sci-fi setting altering this it's far more likely that minority will just get flipped than that it'll go closer to even), I can accept that even in a lot of games with character customization there can be technical problems with allowing that particular option. (Not usually in MMOs, the Matrix Online being an notable exception.) I'm not an activist, and don't think this is worth activism. (Being left-handed does in fact provably screw you over to the extent of statistically reducing your life span, but any fixes would prove worse than the problem.) That said, at the start of playing the game - and I went in pretty much blind since I knew since the game's release I'd want to play it at some point and see how exactly gacha mechanics and game balancing combined with open-world gameplay - it was as good a reason as any to choose. While it turns out the few differences in personality are ones where I'd appreciate Lumine's viewpoint more, I didn't know that at the time. Hoping that the main story will ultimately be followed by a NG+ mode in which both twins will be available and we can replay huge chunks of the main game and events.

it's a very typical female animation style (at least in anime) that girls put their knees together more and hence also run so damn awkwardly like they all have knock knees, and elbows close to body while arms are flared out >_> like how many actual females run like that?!

[@desertfalcon1539]

I agree with that, but i also think that there's a biological factor to consider too. Female pelvises are structured in a way that allows for the legs to be more close together, compared to male pelvises whose structures make it so that the legs are more opened

[@shadowmandeathstroke8232]

Also there are a few differences, such as the Traveler reaching out for Dvalin’s tear, which is attributed to them using Aether’s model as a base. He’s a bigger person so his hand is under the tear while Lumine’s is not. This also happens in the Inazuma sword dueling event where Ayaka points to Aether’s heart when making her little speech but ends up pointing at Lumine’s throat.

[@vanilla6326]

Basically what I can tell is much like the slight difference in their fighting stats, Aether is the shield and Lumine is the sword. They also have opposing dominant hands when they fight. They both look around a lot just Lumine does it with her eyes rather than her whole body which also tracks, physical movement would give away where she’s looking in fights and make it easier to predict her movements, Aether being a shield he basically needs to be shielding everywhere he looks. Aether gives off the impression that he just refuses to be overtly distrustful, he trusts in himself that he can manage whatever happens regardless of the outcome. Lumine on the other hand seems to overtly distrust when given a reason but will play along with whatever the situation may be. (In a Fontaine world quest it’s confirmed that lumine behaves this way idk about Aether I don’t play as him) She just seems generally less surprised by betrayals than Aether.

[@Laerei]

Aether is easily disracted, Lumine is focused on the important.

[@shadowmandeathstroke8232]

Aether’s paying attention to his surroundings, Lumine is focused on one thing. It also reflects in their combat style. Lumine’s attacks are faster but Aether’s is broader. She’s more offensive, he’s more defensive.

[@DjDragonblade]

All videos like this really prove to me is that they didn't just copy/paste everything, as some people have said that they did... I like playing the game anyway, but it's nice to see that there are some differences (even if they still lead to the same outcome anyway...)...😁

[@shadowmandeathstroke8232]

They don’t copy and paste exactly. They make the movements for Lumine and insert her where Aether is. It’s why the model is sometimes off, like when reaching for Dvalin’s tear, since Aether is a bigger person than Lumine.

Aether seems to looking around more, shows that he's more observant on surrounding than Lumine, clearly he's the older sibling, as JP and KOR dub said Lumine that seems hesitant to touch the statue also shows that she's, well, not used to be on her own, maybe, like she used to have Aether to make sure everything is safe, so now that she's on her own, she's having more time to adapt with her surrounding Aether seems to have stronger arms, while Lumine have stronger legs. I think we all know about it now Sitting position, napping position, and running position is just showing that they're male and female, I like that HYV keep it around in each scene, a little things to differentiate them Now overtime, their difference is seems to dissipate one by one (except the fact they're male and female), but Xianyun's story quest kinda point us out again that Lumine is the younger sister. Because the fact that she's immediately break down and run into her brother (in dream ofc), kinda shows that she's missing him too much, whereas Aether is still trying to keep his cool (he break down eventually) I'm a Lumine player myself, I really love her that I actually build my Lumine as strong as I can, and keep her around team (at least now in story or just for immersion, but she's basically ready and not benched). Seeing this video, I kinda like how the character development goes for her. From the usual backseater that used to have his brother to look everything for her, to completely her own, staying strong and also observant to everything while keep caring to everyone like a princess she should be

[@AstronomicalJelly]

i interpret it as lumine being headstrong and focused, keeping her mind on the objective and ignoring all distractions, while aether is more defensive and cautious and observes his surroundings. it kinda shows in their battle stances, aether is slightly hunched and holding his sword straight down while lumine stands tall and holds it an an angle like she's prepared to attack. in a different cutscene aether is also shown holding his sword in a "block" pose while lumine is swinging it like she's attacking i think that's why they work best together, aether is observant and watches for his surroundings while lumine is focused and keeps them on the right path

[@Arius6454]

I do disagree that Aether is not the older brother (surprisingly). If you do listen to the story told by Venti, ‘Once there was a glorious kingdom established among the heavens…’ we see Lumine has the first crowned heir which means she’s older. And then it says she was deceived when trying to find a pearl from the kingdom of darkness and now believed that she is the queen of kingdom of darkness. Then in the cutscene right after, ‘But take heart, the second crowned heir had already taken up the path were the first had stumbled’ shows Aether which means he’s the younger twin and the actual protagonist. Also, in all the banners or posters and whatever for the story quest like Mondstadt and Liyue, it’s of Aether and Lumine (No hate to you. Just wanted you to know that fact. Have a great day!)

[@horizon_angel]

@@Arius6454 do think the younger terms come from the JP and KOR dub. After all, they're twins, it's up to everyone's take on twins

[@1st2nd-dp9uu]

That's not the twins ​@@Arius6454

[@_dragonflies_]

​@@Arius6454 First of all, the battlepass almost certainly references someone else, not the twins. Otherwise there'd be two cutscenes, as is with all permanent in-game content. Second, Lumine addresses Aether as older brother in Jp, Kn and Cn dubs, and Aether calls her "younger sister". English doesn't have a similarly common way of address to indicate who's older (saying "give my *older* brother back would sound very unnatural), so this is lost in translation

[@plant_pot119]

It's even more interesting that, while it's not explicitly pointed out in the video, you can clearly see the arms/legs difference, wherein Lumine, even when she's standing up from a crouch, be it slowly or into a sprint, she does so without using her arms for support, meanwhile Aether does, like at 6:04 (Aether pushes his arm on his knee for the burst of speed, Lumine just dashes with her legs) or 9:13 (Aether stands up by pushing the ground, Lumine just uses her legs)

[@KaiLeeAspires]

The small details showing Aether always pushing against his knee to get up while Lumine can just use her legs to get up are really cool!

[@niqchus]

And this proves the reason i love both Lumine and Aether and i am a proud Aether main

[@L37exa_ym79]

I keep wandering when will Aether go to the hospital cause of breaking his hands 😭💀

[@mocha-ccino]

the fact that childe didnt say "hey girlie" even tho i chose aether broke my heart

[@taru5156]

cz thats a miss translation done by the dumb EN translator lol

[@ghoulruby9871]

yes, because Childe is going to call a dude 'girlie', yes very logical. You should be Sherlock Holmes with that fact

[@IkeaBritta]

💀 Ye cuz he would call "girlie" to a guy

[@mocha-ccino]

@@ghoulruby9871 i call dudes "girl" all the time, idk what you are on.

[@Force-Multiplier]

U a bro now bro no girlies amongst us brothers

[@fahmathaha6021]

4:04 I felt that here antagonist Aether looked more remorseful than Antagonist Lumine..she always seemed a little cold

[@shadowmandeathstroke8232]

She seems more cold in the voice lines and even in some elemental abilities. When using the Geo ult, Aether has to slam the ground with his fist while Lumine just stomps (though this does prove that Lumine doesn’t skip leg day and Aether doesn’t skip arm day)

[@remen8021]

yeah I picked lumine and god aether seems so depressed as the abyss prince and I love it. It really feels like he's been fighting for 400 years seperated from his sibling. Seeing all the pain and suffering of the khaenri'ahn people. To me it recharaterized moments like the attempt to undue the curse. It went from "stupid doomed to fail and uncaring act" to "desperate last attempt to bring the people he loved so much"

[@galacgacwatson3102]

0:44 The color of the Anemo thing is sloghtly different

[@gaqueglowl]

I believe the left screen has bloom turned off

[@Lavenshade]

Ohhh maaan, I tear up every time I see them in Xiangyun's story quest.

[@xucokv]

Aether knows everything... he is the future...

[@badreedinebedro]

I like how both have there own fighting style and animations

[@jaceminder2211]

I remember starting genshin the 1st day it came out the opening scene was amazing to me and choosing aether but I never really played Lumine so I didn't really ever have to chance to notice the differences I never really switched servers

[@ellacrealta534]

When greeting Traveler after our meet with Davin, during when the Traveler started gliding, Amber’s gloves were different colors with Aether vs Lumine. With Aether they were white, with Lumine they were brown

[@ellacrealta534]

Sorry I meant Dvalin

[@GhostlyGhost333]

One had the original outfit, while the other had the altered outfit. China had issue with some character outfits and were forced to chance them going forward.

[@meirynnlinx9001]

I love this kind of objective comparison. Cus people really need to stop taking down one of them just because they like the other more :(they both are cute in their own ways. And its really even sadder because they both love each other so much and having people being so competitive on trying to make one better than the other is really sucks

[@HoffmanXXL]

Lumine is so cute. I am happy that i picked her ^^

[@jordyntaylorhayhurst]

The fact that I won’t be able to experience “hey girly hold still” from childe makes me regret choosing Aether every day

[@IwantfoodTvT]

What have i learned? They cover each others blind spot, aether looks around will lumine looks at the person their talking to

[@Hie_Hyoumaki]

What I love about gnsn is that they add subtle differences between the twins. At first i thought that Lumine and Aether wont have differences so they will be just like the same person but different genders type of MC. But I slowly realized that they have subtle difference and it doesnt only happen like thrice. And it makes me appreciate both MCs as their own character instead. And I can tell that hoyo has always intended Aether as the canonical MC protagonist and Lumine the canonical Antagonist. And I cant help but cry at the 4.7 dain quest, I can feel how much Aether misses Lumine and I know Lumine misses him as much. It's so depressing yet heartwarming. AND LETS NOT FORGET THE DREAM SCENE IN XIANYUN'S QUEST...I BAWLED SO HARD...and Nahida's bday scene punched my face hard with that dream scene too....

[@appleg_sauce]

1:25 Aether looks-

[@ailumi9324]

My girl, Lumine is everything to me. She's my best traveler I ever main

[@Turgineer]

It's nice that the animations aren't copy-paste.

[@GhostlyGhost333]

Kind of glad I chose Aether. He seems more reactionary to the things going on around him compared to Lumine. But, I’m glad to see the differences between the two characters. It shows their gameplay is slightly different, if only in appearance.

[@raquelprado3265]

I liked that in various aspects Lumine does things that a girl would do and Aether does things that boys would do hahahaha. I simply love these details

[@koriie792]

The "Hey Girlie, hold still" always cuaght me off guard even now, and istg I keep laughing when I hear it

[@KhomAsian]

Lumine is so precious! I am Aether your brother will find you out!

[@DragonFaerie]

Its adorable that they have these differences in my opinion, 1. It shows how much care was put into making them different, and 2. It makes them feel even more like siblings who are on good terms.

[@thatadorablefox]

1:59 Abyss Aether lifts his chin up to look down on the abyss mage. It looks like he’s intentionally trying to show his power, like making people believe he’s above them. Abyss Lumine doesn’t need to *pretend* to display her power, even with an even gaze it’s clear that she’s more powerful. Also, in general, it seems Lumine is more focused on her goal where Aether is more like “hmm…but what’s *this?”*

[@Artryom]

None of the top portion makes sense. Why would he need to pretend when nothing is confirmed that she’s the more powerful sibling and even then, why would he need to pretend in front of an abyss mage? Honestly, he even lifts a heavy piece of rock off him with one hand whereas she struggles with two… it’s simply for aesthetics and differentiating attitude between the two to make them feel separate.

[@AstronomicalJelly]

@@Artryompeople are allowed to have fun and interpret things lmao

[@Artryom]

@@AstronomicalJelly And People are allowed to criticize their “interpretation” too so your point belongs in the same place as this interpretation you’re defending, very fitting. Hit me with something that makes sense?

[@thaoster209]

That's why I think aether is the main canon character, although it seems like he's searching for his sister, he's mostly just chilling throughout the story and doing all side quest. While lumine is too serious imo and wouldnt care to help ppl unless it's benefits her.

[@thatadorablefox]

@@Artryom I’m talking about when both of them are displayed as the Abyss Sibling. Because both twins can be the abyss sibling. Watch back at the timestamp I marked.

My father told me you should never underestimate the strength of a girl's kick, as a girl during his martial arts class, who was a foot shorter than my dad, broke his hand in one kick.

of course they're sitting differently, maboi Aether has some balls to give space to... 🤣

[@hotarusama3510]

For Aether the abyss power looks more obscure 🤔

[@Albedo-r2t]

dialogue at the start is different too Aether looks so dashing when he's a villain

[@arachishoyo0110]

The way Lumine looks straight and Aether looks around makes me imagine them together entering the room like Lumine enters first, ready to enter the battle. Aether looks around to see if there's any danger. Referencing to their strength with Lumine having the high attack dmg and Aether covering her blind spots.

[@DEN4U]

4:52 the faces 😭

[@UnseenRider12]

Aether is gay lumine is straight

[@kalvon]

So basically Lumine is a "wow" girl and Aether here is a "holy shit" guy

[@poopydoopyscoopy178]

I love how they’re actually they’re own character, not just the same character genderbent and with a different outfit. Also, it solidifies that I did, in fact, choose the right twin for myself, Aether is definitely way more me💀🙏

[@ElDiasV3]

esto deja muy en claro la teoría de que sus estilos de lucha se complementan. mientras Lumine mantiene su vista fija en su enemigo (ofensa), Aether se centra en los alrededores haciendo control de daños defendiendo a su hermana y cubriendo sus puntos debiles (defensa)
