[@co7769]

Man honestly, Ayaka and the mermaid girl are kind of like the evil guys really. Ok hear me out: Visions are only granted to very select few and I think they mentioned in a quest somewhere that the Vision Hunt Decree has been going for a year or so. But when Thoma is captured they have only seized 100 Visions (well 99 since they didn't actually get Thomas') but still only 99 in the span of a year (or however long the decree has been going)? That either means the government in Inazuma is incompetent or that there are barely any people with Visions. So then only 99 people have had their Visions taken away for as long as the Vision Hunt Decree has been running. Only 99 people have been affected by this new rule and Ayaka wants to throw hands with her god over it? She should care about her people who is mostly non vision bearers. That to me means she is selfish. She is willing to put at risk her whole family standing, power, prestige and influence over 99 people. That's nothing when you compare it to the whole populace of Inazuma. Its still messed up but not worth it. Then there's the mermaid girl who (I believe) is only fighting the electro archon because she is pissed that she killed the god they worshipped and is using the Vision Hunt Decree as an excuse to throw hands. I mean its one of the first things they explain when we meet her. The traveler was right all along to not want to get involved. They shouldn't have. With the other two nations, it was a threat to the nation itself and not to a group of people. Which is why I believe the traveler was willing to help from the get go (plus they were basically dragged in the first fight with Dvalin so kind of hard to not get involved after that and in Liyue they were immediately turned into criminals so they had to clear the name. Basically in the first two nations the traveler had basically no choice but to tag along, but on the third it wasn't like that. Also, what kind of freaking morons would join the resistance army? Its an army (supposedly because I didn't see any on the quest except for goro) with vision bearers against Inazuma. They are only getting people that didn't need to be involved, involved and even if they win, what for 99 people to get their visions back and the ones who haven't had theirs taken away to not get theirs taken? What they would lose heavily outweighs what they win as a whole. So far Inazumas story is the one I dislike the most because it doesn't make sense.

In the city of scholars there is a push for folly, yet the God of Wisdom makes no argument against it." Only the archons know what vision bearers are capable of. The chinese of allogenes is genshin so. The hatred for the archons by some players, abyss/dainsleif might be a too much if we going by rl gnosticism since the concept of that have the 7 focuses only on the material stuff and there's this one being that stands above it and thinks of his/her creation as abominations once starts to think.

Ayaka realizes that she is wasting her life working and she is now trying to be happy. We go to a festival with her and we watch her dance.

The reason why Aether refuses to participate in another "nation-wide action" may be that this is the fist time ever he's asked to fight against the archon. In Mondstadt he fought the dragon, which is probably something he used to do. In Liyue he was just investigating the death. So, Aether refuses to help not because he doesn't want to help and wants some profit for him (let us remember that his sister asked Aether to discover the true face of the world, which means he just has to travel around) but because he's scared. When he sees the consequences traveler is fully into it

[@yeti1835]

@Co uhh not at all???? Albedo doesn't exactly need his vision to do most of his research. Noelle actually felt she was cheating when she got her vision at first and didn't want it, and she canonically has super strength without it. It wouldn't affect her desire to become a knight, which she wanted to do before she got her vision anyway. Ningguang was tianquan before she had her vision and she had always cared about money since she was a child because she was born into poverty. In her vision story, she was literally trying to sell a dead vision orb before it activated and became her own and she was annoyed she couldn't sell it anymore.

I feel like people are forgetting that the traveler’s objective has changed. Before, they went on a journey to find their sibling, with no specific way in mind other than to learn more about how the nations work and gain allies. That’s why they could’ve allowed themselves to help Mondstadt and Liyue without much thought. However, now they have already found their sibling and are on a different mission - to find the truth of this world. And their way of doing it is finding the unknown god first and foremost. The top priority they have right now is to meet the Raiden Shogun. They can’t allow themselves to join a rebellion which would really affect their standing in Inazuma, and might get them captured before they even met here. Only after the traveler learned of what the vision hunt decree did to Inazuma’s people did they decide to help out.
