I think Mavuika is not directly a counterpart to himeko, she looks more like one of the stigmata in HI3.

Rie Tanaka already voiced Lisa in this game, that is why I have low expectation for Himeko expy to be exist in Genshin except she voiced 2 character, similiar to ZZZ case where Marina Inoue already voiced Zhu Yuan so have low expectation for Elysia expy exist in the game, even I wish there is their expy in the game. In Genshin we did get Kugimiya Rie who voiced Unknown God where exactly Kiana expy even have same ahoge, and Miyuki Sawashiro who voiced Raiden Shogun where is Mei expy, and there is a big chance if Tsaritsa will be Bronya expy since Asumi Kana still not voicing any character in Genshin btw lol Naruto and Sasuke, Chitoge and Tsugumi 😆

[@mystier3423]

About the "diversity" takes, I'd respect your opinion, thou I cannot agree with it. At the moment Natlan features 7 characters and 3 of them have dark skin. While if you look at the "Natlan Preview Teaser - Need a Hand?" only 1 out of the 3 enemies are dark skin. So the statement that "They are more keen to putting darker skin on enemy..." is not true at this moment. If you want to compare it with Sumeru, Sumeru has a cast of 13 characters and only 4 of them have dark skin. Not to mention the fact that those 4: Candace, Deyha, Sethos, and Cyno are desert-based so it fits the dark skin tone. For the only humanoid enemy - "Eremites", the name itself is enough for us to know that they are also desert based, enough to explain why all of them have dark skin, not because it's "keen to". So by comparison, Natlan's cast already has more diversity than Sumeru's. In short, I am totally fine with this ratio of dark skin characters in this cast, and to be honest I don't really care if this ratio changes in the future because it's not my place to represent other cultures/races to have this critique. And at the end of the day, I play this game to separate myself from reality, not to nitpick and bring irl topic back into the game to ruin my joy and immersion. Dark skin or not if it's hot/cute, I pull, simple as it is.

[@Kodla]

very based take tbh - just wanted to voice out some of my thoughts that's it. at the end of the day - it's just a game to enjoy and immerse ourselves from the cruel reality and hardships of life! no need to be so serious, and just enjoy the game as how you'd like it :) thank you for respecting my opinion, i've heard everyone's takes and they are all valid - no right or wrong, just different interpretations based on what we're exposed to (be it media or life experiences etc). all in all, i agree with you - if hot/cute, i pull, simple!

[@ShagaD-em5er]

On the subject of skin colour, I don't care about any skin colour, and I tend to agree with Hoyoverse. Taking inspiration from something doesn't mean literally copying everything, and that's fine. As an example that many people probably don't know, there has never been a female Shogun in Japan because they had another title BUT Genshin gave Ei /Makoto (Raiden) that title. If we follow your logic, we should never have had female shogun in Genshin? Why is it only the skin colour that bothers you? Why don't we complain about 50/50 for the gender of the archons (male and female)? Why don't we do the same for the fatuis? Outside of Genshin, one of the greatest films of recent decades: Avatar (James Cameron) was inspired by a culture very similar to that of Africans and South Americans, and yet it didn't bother anyone at the time that literally ALL THE PEOPLE WERE BLUE! Why do some people today try to put people in boxes based on : race, gender, religion or politics? It's a FICTIONAL art (movies, games, and co ), let's just enjoy it. I'm a black student and I downloaded this game to play Raiden (I'm her first simp), I never needed her to have dark skin or to be a male to identify with her. Like every boy, I'm a big fan of Son Goku, I never needed him to be black either. I don't and will never judge a artwork (movie, game, ...) based on gender, race or politics. And for those who insist on skin colour, of course there are black people who want to be represented but there are also black people like me who don't care and leave it in the hands of the game/creator. And sometimes when I hear people crying "there's not enough of this or that", I feel like a pokemon that racists are trying to collect. It's like Sacha going on a pokemon hunt and saying I " need a BLACK one". Enjoy the game and summon those you love most. (edit : I'll probably not see any replies since I will mute the channel , knowing how toxic and loud some genshin player can be)

[@Kodla]

love your take on this! totally understand where you're coming from - thank you for the insights and thoughts. my channel is an open and safe space where i encourage anyone to speak their minds and thoughts :D i dont like to complain about much, and i'm not complaining now too - i just wanted to speak out on topics i care about. it's not my position to be saying anything, but i do wish to be as authentic as possible and mention my thoughts as well - hoping people would respect them and try to understand nuanced takes on topics. that said, i agree with you "enjoy the game and summon those you love most". focus on reality and direct our efforts into real topics - let our minds rest and enjoy games without being too serious!

[@sentientbeinggg]

You're just one person. Because you don't care doesn't mean every other black person doesn't and I know you mentioned that. All I'm saying is I don't need to see someone who has the same skin color as me to be able to like them, but if they're going to use names from a certain culture, and even other aspects like food and music yet they vehemently avoid really basic features like simple skin color then that's not okay. Your personal opinion will not override the fact that taking inspiration from a culture and then not accurately representing the people of that culture is unjust.
