1:41:43 i think people forget tho that Hilichurls existed as a race before the Khaenri'ahns were cursed so i think it’s still likely that not every Hilichurl we encounter in the overworld is a cursed Khaenri'ahn so pls don’t feel too bad ab needing to off them for mats 😭 although i do agree w/ Dish that the option to trade with Hilichurls would be a cool addition to the game! or even other enemies like the Eremites, Treasure Hoarders, or Kairagi/Nobushi

[@soulstealer5625]

Misconceptions exist thanks to the telephone game phenomenon (dunno if theres a better word for it). Original line is these hilicheuls were once Khanriahan. Someone takes that as ‘Hilichurls are Khanriahan?!’ Which then becomes all and boom misinfo.

[@colorlessguard]

@@soulstealer5625 yes i 100% agree! the information has gotten passed for so long that while there’s still a bit of truth to it, it’s no longer completely accurate which leads to this misunderstanding of the lore in the wider community! i also think this misinformation spreads simply bc the game has a TON of lore and it can be hard for every player to retain all this info accurately

[@sundalosketch4769]

Its also possible that the pre-Khaenri'ahn Hilichurls are of an older human-like race that just received with the same downfall years prior. They could be people, just not Khaenri'ahn people.

[@SupremeLeaderKyloRen-SLKR]

do u know abt the ochimusha they're the ghost of kairagi and only appear in quests like the miasmic tumor quest

[@bleach2fairytail]

i think what i learned most from the reaction of this story quest is how ppl choose to interpret storytelling in ways they are not used to. this quest is a perfect example of dramatic irony and it seems a lot of ppl have not come across this kind of plot even tho its so frequently used in genshin except within story quests (as you said, the samsara cycle in sumeru). i play hi3 and i do understand that ppl would've preferred the pv within the story, but even then, just as you said, they wouldnt have cared for clervie as much we were supposed to. even throughout the quest, we were questioning arlecchino's choices even when we know her backstory, and we still fully cant understand her. i think the story was great and if we didnt have that pv beforehand, it wouldve been another okay quest instead of a great one.

I personally appreciate that they put the animated teaser out before the story quest. The music and the animation were so much more engaging than anything they could do in-game. Plus, it helps make the quest gripping from the start because WE know who Clervie is even if the characters don't. If we didn't have the teaser beforehand, it might be harder to get invested when we just see another NPC (albeit a uniquely designed NPC) that we need to help for some reason.

My mom was named Anne after Anne of Green Gables, so she was a big fan of the books. I read her copies when I was in Grade 2 and was totally obsessed. There was a little lake in the woods near our house that I called Rainbow Valley and I would go there and pretend like I was friends with Anne's kids. haha

[@ambersdarkfox]

Honestly, the harbingers are the same as regular coworkers. You don't always get along and you break down into mini groups but you generally still work together within reason because it's their job. Each one of them represent their own interests and align when it best suits their interests. Most of them would absolutely turn on the Fatui if it suit their interests. People which have been through traumatic instances in their lives are either going to shield themselves in distain or look out for others so that they don't have to go what they went through at least at a base look. It can be far more complex but at a base generalization they will follow one of the two paths. If you look at her childhood it was pretty traumatic. There is a part of her that wants to protect these children so they don't have to endure what she has but she is an intelligent and very logical person that understand the position that she is in with both keeping her position and status so that she can do this but in knowing if anything happens they have to be able to handle themselves. If she doesn't hold herself in a certain way or looses the strength of their position then it is essentially over. She's not a scary person once you get to know her but she has to maintain an air of intimidation and authority to not become a target for another harbinger to make a grab of power. As the saying goes it's a safer to be feared than loved. Being strong and deterring attacks be they political, internal or physical is the only way she can maintain the position of the house and protect the kids. Pay attention to what she is thinking when she is in the teapot. The most common thing I notice is home. She was taken into the house herself at the age of 6 and as near as I am aware we don't know what really happened to her prior to those events. At least that I am aware of and the house was a brutal place. She's never really known home outside of what she tries to create within the house. Logically, speaking it's a wild leap however I make the inference that she never really wanted the tea pot as a base of operations. More so a safe place to hide the children. Her care for them is genuine and the teapot is a place that they would be safe. It is my opinion that her position is only a tool for her to do what she really wants. I surmise that what she really wants is the very thing that seems to dominate her thoughts in the teapot. A home. I don't think she would turn on the Fatui at merely a whim or in some scheme for power. She might do that very thing if it were to protect the kids or if she thought she could provide them a better life. Again a wild jump based on an inference but still. However, that's the type of person she really is. She isn't evil but a person playing the roll they have to play in order to survive and ensure that the kids do too. I could be entirely wrong too :) but it's a theory. A game theory. It would be awesome if the teapot was a part of the mainline story for her though O_o Further piece of bait is read the story of the weapon. It talks about a certain curse which maybe the very same as the one she spoke of in the character quest. :)

[@Ong9311]

That person talking about getting a new "father" ---- bro, you take the cake... i was drinking when that came up....

[@SuperDuperSoundFX]

she put you in that Mangekyou Sharingan's tsukiyomi

[@effortlessfury]

I get that some people wish the Traveler’s lines were voiced, but the answer as to why is very clear: HoYo uses it as punctuation marks, like an exclamation mark. It’s supposed to draw your attention to the line as important; if every line had an exclamation mark, it ceases to be meaningful. The irony being that instead of focusing on the spoken line, people instead focus on everything but that line because they don’t like that style of storytelling. lol Maybe I’m just used to it from other games that do the same thing but it really doesn’t bother me. I don’t get the mentality that there’s less legitimacy to unvoiced text.

[@ultralink17]

I don't get it either. But I've also grown up with Zelda games, and those didn't have any voicelines until BOTW, so my bias for reading a lot is from that

[@effortlessfury]

@@ultralink17 yeah I think it’s an unfamiliarity with and/or distaste for common JRPG styles of storytelling. Hell, a bunch of Persona 5’s main story is unvoiced. Fantastic game, don’t hear anyone complaining there.

[@sundalosketch4769]

Yeah, I think people see it more like "If everyone else is voiced in these important quests, why not the MC?" It seems to garner the impression that Genshin is half-assing things, especially with text that could've been voiced, but were chosen not to for the stylized decision you brought up; and I dont think thats a fair perception on the player's part. I agree with your take!

[@effortlessfury]

@@sundalosketch4769 It's definitely not half-assed. Like, they record a LOT of dialogue as it is, and anything Paimon says COULD be said by the Traveler instead, if they so desired. It's a deliberate decision for specific reasons. Like I said, I understand the preference, it's completely understandable; I just wish people would accept that decision rather that complain at every juncture.

[@sundalosketch4769]

@@effortlessfury Absolutely agree. I wish more people could understand and try not to be so harsh about it.

[@hjc12]

The traveller at this point is just a bystander with just a little priviledge

[@jojodivas9211]

Well the Traveler never asked any of this to begin with anyway. Traveler’s aim is to find the Sibling, not solve each and every Nation’s or People’s problems. But now the Traveler is just going along with whatever is thrown at them. Of course, it is shown the Traveler is not strong. However, Traveler has turned things from Impossible, to Possible.

[@v0id]

I agree with you as well. Even if I didn't watch the short before the story quest I would've still guessed what was going on because it was kind of obvious and we knew about the previous knave being evil already. But being in the know made it better for me as they expanded upon what we already knew and also there was a lot more emotional weight to the ending because of the short, because I already felt very connected to arle and clervie. Also, I much prefer it when the harbingers true agendas are shown and why they do what they do instead of just "muahaha, im evil" like signora felt initially. I feel like there's a lot of potential with her character that we only found through artifact lore and stuff but all that kinda got wasted in Inazuma. Watching catwithbluehats recent video made realize how illogical it actually was that traveller defeated her.Heres hoping that they do something with her in the future

1:42:09 Masks for hilichurls are very, very important to them. As the Caribert story quest told (even back then), they don't want to see their own faces. It basically reminds them of how they got screwed over.

Ann from Green Gables is a title ive never heard and it turns out to be Ania z Zielonego Wzgórza, which is actually a mandatory lecture in schools in Poland 😅 I'm shocked to know that its from Canada

[@sundalosketch4769]

My interpretation of Hoyo's decision to share the animated short is this; To keep players from being overwhelmed by all of the new information in this quest alongside the info we already know. We get to see the relationships of the orphans and the current Knave in motion, and how "Father" carries herself with us knowing all the baggage she has (with plenty mystery to her actions and knowledge). We got to see a lil more info added onto what we knew of the short animation, on top of semi unrelated moments happening within this Story Quest. I think it made it easier to digest with the slight cost of still needing to share enough for players who never saw the short, while possibly boring some players who did.

[@bullets3998]

In some way you can say Father is very successful with information control, in that part is even applied on us as players, which i think it fits her character and background as well as leaving more space for her to develop in the future story

[@adrianmotohiro6384]

Can't wait for Father's story quest act 2 😭

[@Shadow_Lad305]

Something unrelated, but what would you guys feel about more lore accurate bosses as endgame content for those who want a challenge. Here me out. The mode itself: It is an option to turn on boss challenge. In this challenge, you get infinite stamina as well as dashes without a delay (currently you get two dash before a delay). You will be inflicted with a damage cap to prevent nuke builds. It also makes it fair for people with average build. This mode allows you to fight the boss and collect reward multiple times a week Bosses: Childe: Attacks consistently and don’t just stand there. He will constantly back away once taken too much damage in a frame of time. He has an attack where he runs around the edge so fast it leave after image, only stoping for the last second to dash at you causing electro charge. He has a lot more dash attacks and rarely uses his bow (since he’s fighting serious). He will dodge most bow charge shot and won’t stand there to take it head on. Most of his attacks now cause electro charge. Whale attacks now does 75 percent of your health regardless of shields or defense. He will no longer have a shield you need to break Boreas: He will not have a phase two. However, all of his attacks now swirl cryo along side it’s initial damage. His running attack now covers the arena in a fog that hides him fully. The only indicator will be noise (headphone needed lol) and glowing eye near the end of the attack animation. Most of his attacks can stagger you since he is large. Boreas will almost never stand still to take on your hits. He will no longer summon other wolves to attack you And finally, father: She no longer walks toward you at the beginning, but instead teleport to you immediately and release an attack she attacks consistently similar to childe. All her attacks now marks you with a blood debt. Her damage will not increase, but it is meant to prevent you from consistent healing (since all her attacks inflicts it not just a few) she will no longer heal from her attacks, but instead inflicts burn on you that consistently damages you. You can get rid of it by clearing your debt or with water infusion. She has an attck where she jumps around on her web strings and uses it to dash at you from different direction. And of course, she will dodge most ranged attacks. She has an attack where she hooks you with her scythe and stun lock you for half a second Tldr: turn this shit into a dark soul game ;-; and punish people with nuke builds… (yes I’m salty that I’m f2p)

[@soulstealer5625]

Nah nuke builds are fine. U cant complain about lack of mechanics if u nuke em. Rather id find some way to circumvent baby mode Zhongli. The amount of shit people talk while hiding behind his shield is wild.

[@Shadow_Lad305]

Lol. Maybe all boss attacks do 2 times more damage to shields just to punish shields. What’s the point of endgame if it’s too easy lol.

[@Shadow_Lad305]

I don’t know if anyone else noticed, but in the animation when knave got knocked down and her hand slowly turns black, I feel like that’s the biggest hint to her being khanrian. Kinda like a hilichurl with black skin. I might be wrong tho lol

[@lucysteel2686]

Cyno is khanreiah confirmed

[@bananadaisy3342]

Spoilers! I find it very interesting how the game portrays her almost as “redeemed”. You can see this in the response of the children who were given the “mercy” of losing their memories versus being killed. I’m curious if this is more of a mistranslation, or if it was purposefully more in the children’s perspective, showing how Arlecchino has been very manipulative of the children, using the idea of family to threaten them in ways. Also Arle mentioned how she chose this different mode of execution because they showed strength in combat, so I’m curious if she has actually murdered traitors in the past. I’m interested to see where the Hearth’s story goes, and I hope Lyney takes over one day and changes the Hearth as a whole! It would be interesting to see a “breaking generational patterns” story!

on dottore being playable, I wouldn't put it past him to lie to nahida and have a segment or two hidden in the abyss (maybe to study it or something thus disconnecting them from whatever evil stuff his other self has gotten up to) or something and or to just /make new segments/ based off his current self and those segment being brand new would still know what dottore prime knows but hasn't committed any atrocities so the audience can have their cake and eat it too. kill off prime evil dottore and make segmenttore playable and have all his story bits and voice lines be "the other me did this that and the other thing but that's not me tho so" or something idk there are lots of ways they could do it, i can't seen them going though the trouble of making him a brand new playable model and just toss that (i think if it was a signora situation his character model would look different) so i DO think he will be playable at some point but i agree that they wouldn't give us a 100% pure evil character and make them playable because the conceit of the playable characters in their voicelines and whatnot is that they are travelling with the player and making small chat and opening up as they bond, as he is now it wouldn't make sense for the traveller to do so with dottore

Genshin video is the last place to have this discussion. But Dish was the one to address the issue in the first place, so here I go with my thoughts. Don't you stick that racial interpretation on "black and white" proverb. It's you people who make the connection "ough, you can't say black=bad because there are people we're calling black". If you people stop thinking of skin color whenever you hear "black" or "white", you'll be surprised how fast your average racist problems start to go away. Morgan Freeman said it all a long time ago. Stop giving importance to race and racism will not survive. Black/white doesn't always mean skin color, deal with it.
