[@JustACowThatMoos]

[@Aelvy]

I have to agree. As a JP voice purist since 1.0, the Fontaine EN va’s really blew it out of the park for this quest. A lot of the direction for JP just didn’t fit the characters quite as well as EN (JP Neuv has a rly soft friendly tone even in the more demanding scenes, JP Furina doesn’t sound as dynamic with her personalities as EN, all in my opinion ofc) and I played the entire archon quest in EN for the first time, bravo.

[@josephfigues4202]

I suspected both Fontaine and Natlan will have plenty of deaths. For Fontaine, it is all about courts and justice, so murder is bound to happen. Then there is the fact that this is France... and the famous execution of their queen.

[@JustACowThatMoos]

Im gonna be honest I feel like Paimon is really ignorant of Navia's situation. Like, Navia's crying about Silver, Melus, and everyone dead, and Paimon's like "WhAt HapPenEd tO ThEM??"

[@Randomguy-lt2wf]

Plot twist:paimon is the primordial one

[@MrSoso1050]

Paimon is just running a lot of moments like this she has to overexplain everything that's happening instead of letting the audience figure it out. The reason why they do this is for dumb people can understand whats going on. Thats literally it.

[@alejosuarconde1145]

​@@MrSoso1050 For real. That "NaViA wHatS WroNG??" from Paimon destroyed any sort of immersion I had until that scene, to the point of having to get up and leave the room for a minute to "forget" about it.

[@nordlyssrlys6945]

Hence proved, Hydro is the most powerful element, so powerful infact that its effects can cross your screen and make ur tear glands go out of control

[@IshimurA99]

This 4.2 version has become the update that brings the most sad moments when so many sad things have happened, it will be deeply engraved in my mind. 😭

[@Starnight_Sky]

I honestly loved Neuvilette's reaction to Focalors death! I don't know why, but I genuinely didn't think he'd be that affected by it. He seemed to not have met the previous Hydro Archon and only knew Furina, who was the human counter-part of Focalors. So, when I heard his heavy breathing and saw the rain, the power of hydro manifested itself to me 😭🤧 Personally, my favourite Archon quest.

[@Yo-mv2wh]

I really appreciate his feelings. Though they met for just brief moments, his empathy and sentiments are quite commendable.. i mean.. to cry for someone he had never met before.. but of course, its also because the sacrifice was planned to give him the authorities

[@CandyGames63]

i know people are mad at paimon for not taking the hint/not being able to read the room with navia but in her defense, it's not that she's ignorant to her struggles nor is she oblivious to melus and silver's fate but rather she doesn't want to believe they're gone as a possibility paimon has the pureness of a child, the last thing she wants to assume is the death of their friends and acquaintances (which is actually showcased earlier when paimon refused to think of the possibility that navia might be dead when arriving in poisson) this is further backed by the traveler choosing to give words of condolences instead of reprimanding paimon, and the fact that once the reality settled in, paimon was shaken up and began to panic, asking what they should do even though it's obvious that nothing can be done all in all i totally understand where people's frustration comes from, but instead of empathising with paimon and understanding where her heart is at that moment, they vent their grief and anger at someone who has a reputation for processing information slowly, lashing out at her i just think that's kind of sad for paimon's sake since i'm always patient with her

[@zacharygilmore1075]

Plus, from a meta perspective, it explains the situation to players who don’t understand subtext. The “Genshin players can’t read” stereotype exists for a reason.

[@darkdark9882]

[@CandyGames63]

@@zacharygilmore1075 yup, as much as i agree it does take away a bit from the quality of the execution of the story, genshin is a game that wants to and does in fact appeal to a very large demographic of people, it's not a focused story where it's confined to certain genres and only ppl who love those genres can enjoy it

[@zacharygilmore1075]

@@darkdark9882 When Paimon needs to apply herself, she can be pretty intelligent and wise. But this wasn’t one of those situations. She was blinded by her sympathy for the people in Poisson. Paimon’s biggest character trait has always been her compassion.

Normally, I’m pretty tolerant of Paimon, I love her a lot but when she asked what happened to Melus and Silver, knowing well the context, I actually snapped at her. I was actually pretty annoyed that Paimon couldn’t take the hint

[@silverhawkscape2677]

Sounds like different writing team problems and the devs being unable to keep Paimon Consistent. At this point they need to do a forced heel faced turn for Paimon. I don't care anymore if Paimon suddenly becoming super caring and understanding in the Next AQ us out of Character. It is far preferable than what Paimon has become. Either Paimon shuts up or she becomes super caring andnresponsible with no explanation at all which is infinitely preferable.

[@Yo-mv2wh]

She was a sweetheart in other AQ, where the archons came up with wayy more unreasonable excuses in their acrions. I really dont get why she suddenly became this way. I mean... To be specific, inazuma's problem is far severe than this. The citizen were basically oppressed. And raiden almost killed the traveler (ei and raiden is actually my fav char, no hate. But i just wanted to point out the truth) But Traveler and paimon were soo understanding back then. They instantly forgive her and became buddies in no time. But for furina tho, they saw her crying at poisson. And instead of trying to understand why she forced herself to act like shes okay, they just...being soo insensitive and their actions are more towards "ugh you definitely hiding something. Why is it so hard to spit it out???"
