Dear Travelers,
Thanks to your support, Genshin Impact has won the " PlayStation®Partner Awards 2021 GRAND AWARD" and "PlayStation Game Music Award (1st Runner-Up)"! Thank you for coming alongside us through this journey.
We will be giving out 800 Primogems from December 4 to December 7!
*How to Claim Rewards: 200 Primogems shall be given out to Travelers via in-game mail at 00:00 (server time) each day from December 4 to December 7. These Primogems can be claimed at any time before the end of Version 2.3. All Travelers who have reached Adventure Rank 7 or above can claim a total of 800 Primogems via in-game mail.
Yup. This was supposed to be paid because it's literally in the official patch notes.
>8. New Bundle "Boundless Symphony" will be added to the Shop at a later date: Purchase this bundle to receive Special Namecard Style: "Celebration: Tuneful Delight," Special Furnishing: "Splendid Phrase," Special Wind Glider: "Wings of Poetic Melodies," and Primogems × 1,000.
FYI, this leak was hinted at by Mihoyo Devs 3 months ago here.
>Q: When will Paimon be able to enter the Serenitea Pot? I want to see her in there.
>
>A: It has been noted by the developers. Paimon will be able to enter the Serenitea Pot in a future version~
PSA: According to the news page, the Fate Points will not carry over to the next Weapon Gacha
> At the end of the current period of Epitome Invocation, any current Fate Points will be cleared.
Xiao was orginally imagined long, flowing robes, but that was eventually scrapped due to clipping issues.
Hence I think it's a very nice suprise to see at least his lower body clothed like that in a official design. But chances are that means we'll never see it as a skin due to clipping issues.
Here is the official patch notes showing proof it was supposed to be a paid bundle. And now it is given for free as damage control.

>To correct something the glider was actually leaked to be in a cash grab bundle for the concert along with some furnitures. It seems they are gonna divide that bundle into these consoling gifts.
It isn't just leaked, but actually, the paid bundle was announced in MHY patch notes for 2.1, the 8th point under VIII. Other Additions. So yeah, it was initially planned to be a paid bundle, but I'm guessing given the major backlash for the anniversary, this was tossed out as damage control.
For the people who feel Diluc is an asshole for reacting this way. This is just my take. For a better understanding of this manga, read chapter 7 and 8 of the manga. And Kaeya's vision story.
According to Kaeya's vision story, this argument happened the night when Diluc's father died. He was grieving. He really didn't need Kaeya's confession that day. And Kaeya knew that, according to this line.
> But now, Crepus' death upset this delicate balance. He felt liberated, but also ashamed of how selfishly he was responding.
But he was also guilty for not being able to save his foster father. Maybe that's why he couldn't set it aside any longer.
But if he waited a little longer. Let Diluc finish his grieving, maybe it wouldn't have blown up like it did.
But maybe Kaeya felt that night was his only chance to come clean, since chapter 8 of the manga shows how the Knights didn't even want to disclose the incident.
That's also the part that explains why Diluc distrusts the Knights so much. They cared more about their image to the public than doing what's right.
So if Kaeya decided to tell the truth another time, it would've been years before he could do so since Diluc left Mond shortly after that. And maybe he wouldn't have had his vision. It would also have eaten him up inside for keeping it that long.
And the manga and game shows that they're over the fight. Either they've matured enough to realize that they're not enemies. Diluc has calmed down over the years to realize what the confession meant. Or simply that their time apart was enough to fix it.
Lots of people complaining it was "cringe", I assume. It's actually been slowly patched out, in their early QnAs for the CBTs it used to be extremely obnoxious and was toned down with every subsequent post until every roleplaying aspect was removed.
Fun fact: Each of them have different accompanying music! You can read more about it in this article, if you scroll down to the 3rd talking point: Developer Insight #3 - Behind the Music of Genshin Impact
Xiao is an illuminated beast. But as Yaksha, he decided to keep a human form. It's implied his true form is that of garuda. I believe something similar to a harpy.
There's a Developer Insight on him that goes pretty in-depth.
Did you buy this just for playing genshin? If so, I would return it and get a laptop that can run the game. If your budget is less than 1k usd, you can get an acer nitro 5 or asus tuf with a lower end gpu. If you can’t afford any gaming laptop, some laptops with integrated graphics can run the game at or above 30 fps at lowest settings. I have an old i5-7200U with integrated graphics that can run at 30 fps lowest settings.
Here are the requirements to run the game
>: Il Dottore, the mad scientist harbinger, is basically HEAVILY implied to be kidnaping/conscripting young adults and children from the other countries to train in the fight pits under Schezniah, and be Guinea pigs for his experiments. His experiments being SPECIFICALLY science involving Mist Grass, which in turn, relates him to the Cicin mages, whom all summon Cicin using? ... Mist Grass.!<
Old but gold, Dev insights into Yu-Peng's music design
https://genshin.mihoyo.com/en/news/detail/5000
Also an interview with him that gives you even more insights
Yes.

>In the Musou Isshin state, Raiden Shogun will attack with a sword. These attacks are considered Normal Attacks at this time. Thus, they can trigger the effects associated with Normal Attack movement types, for example: the increase in Normal ATK SPD granted by the weapon Skyward Spine,
By the way, the animation designers have in fact gone into depth about how they create animations for characters (or well rather specifically Xiao, but it gives us a window into the other ones). They use things like movie stunts (both "real" ones and ones that use wires) as inspiration, some of them are also mo capped although a few more 'impossible' ones are done manually. Some of the images in the link above are dead now but I think you can get the gist of it that way.
I can believe that. Mihoyo even released a whole page of character development notes when Xiao came out explaining all the chinese cultural influences in his designs. He is the only character they've done that so far
now, most you might be thinking "you don't say !?"
but I realize that not much people that known about the Official manga existance, while it wasn't a neccessity, it still a good read (After all Amber is the main lead). providing more depth and back story to Mondstat cast.
you could read it here : https://genshin.mihoyo.com/en/manga/
but the rest of it were fan translated : mangafreak.net/Manga/Genshin_Impact
Cannot find the official post anymore either. But, it is there in the "News" section on their main website. It must be convenient for them that its not possible to comment ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Every time I check back on Genshin something worse is going on lmao
you can find it here> https://genshin.mihoyo.com/en/news/detail/15980
I hate to break it to you man but this isn't planned at all.
This is the Mihoyo Patch notes for 2.1 if you look on section VIII bullet point 8, you can clearly see it was intended to be for sale/purchasable and this is clearly damage control. here's the quote:
>8. New Bundle "Boundless Symphony" will be added to the Shop at a later date: Purchase this bundle to receive Special Namecard Style: "Celebration: Tuneful Delight," Special Furnishing: "Splendid Phrase," Special Wind Glider: "Wings of Poetic Melodies," and Primogems × 1,000.
https://genshin.mihoyo.com/m/en/news/detail/7524
Sum up but I suggest reading the article still:
Geo resonance was bad, his cast for hold e was too long making him easy to ragdoll, had to pick between pillar and shield when using e, weaker shield with 250% geo damage absorption (how many things attack with geo), split scaling making building a bit awkward.
Other variables: lore and marketing seemed to indicate a dps character. He felt heavily locked by constellations compared to previous units (c0 being as quoted "half a unit") so people were worried all future units would be like this. There were not a lot of other characters with geo constructs that worked well with zhongli (albedo).
The new mechanic is explained here: https://genshin.mihoyo.com/m/en/news/detail/14047
In short, you need 2 fate points that you get by losing the 50/50 between the two featured weapons (I think losing the 75/25 gives no fate points) after choosing the one you want. Changing weapons mid-banner removes the points, and those points go back to 0 for each banners.
This isn’t made for low spenders and F2P at all unfortunately
What bugs me is they released a statement saying that they will increase load for this update and the increase is dependent on the device yet all everyone got is enough load to place a tree or two, even for those who with high-end hardware.
Has anyone noticed that Xaio’s Eng voicelines on the official website is gone and now marked with “Coming soon”? His JP lines are still up though.
https://genshin.mihoyo.com/en/news/detail/13423
"In Version 1.6, Travelers can take part in the limited-time event "Echoing Tales" to obtain Barbara's outfit "Summertime Sparkle" for free. After the end of Version 1.6, the outfit will be available in the Character Outfit Shop."
They specifically said free for this. I didn't see the word free at all for the glider bundle.
Never mind, the hopium pants are not coming on.
They only took down the post version of the announcement (as in the version of it that allows comments and had the overwhelmingly negative responses).
The news article version of that announcement (which does not have a comment section) remains: https://genshin.mihoyo.com/en/news/detail/15980
So it seems far more plausible now that they are only attempting to more or less censor the enormous backlash rather than actually change the rewards for the better.
To add on to this, /u/QPILLOWCASE
Genshin has multiple tourism collaboration with the areas that inspired parts of Liyue, where they even placed replicas of Statue of the Seven, Geoculus and Waypoints in the area: Zhangjiajie, Huanglong National Park, Guilin
If not for the pandemic, they probably would’ve done something similar for Inazuma, alas 😔
In the Developers Insight about Xiaos design it is implied that his Vision is fake, since his powers come from being an Adeptus.
>For adepti such as Cloud Retainer and Mountain Shaper, the human
understanding is that they must have an "inner eye" that serves the same
purpose as a Vision. Xiao, however, typically appears in a human form,
so he dutifully wears a Vision to comply with the expected norm.
He’s a Fatui Harbinger who does experiments on kids to make delusion, a mad scientist hails from Sumeru iirc. He appears in the short promotional manga so if you’re interested, check that out manga.
I would just like to point out that you dont HAVE to go through this gruelling experience, unless you want The Catch and its R5 early.
There'll be a fishing event soon that'll add a lot of fish in your world, so you can use this opportunity to get The Catch to R5
it was mentioned in their official update notice as well
https://genshin.mihoyo.com/en/news/detail/15383
Go to the "Other Additions" section, its there. Expect a name card and a teapot furnishing in the next mails
I can almost promise you the teams for honkai and genshin are different. Plus, according to their recent developer’s discussion, they’re looking at buffing reactions. LINK

tldr is that it seems like everything is shared and carryovers counts. We could just switch around between banners for the desired units.

>Q: Is there any way to obtain gadgets from events that I've missed? I regret missing out.
>A: For Travelers who have missed out, don't worry. In Version 2.2, Travelers can use Mora to purchase the Windblume Festival Commemorative Balloon, Windsong Lyre, and Wind-Blessed Harpastum gadgets from Marjorie's store in Mondstadt~
We did have PvP, in the form of Windtrace and with the recent events of Theatre Mechanicus and Seelie event, we'll have it rerun.
However, direct combat PvP with other players will absolutely never happen.
- The game isn't made for combat PvP, take a look at Zhongli and Ganyu, their existence alone makes PvP unfair. The top meta teams in this game will have either of the two or both.
- Implementing combat PvP in a game like this would make it even more P2W and considering that every single PvP gacha game has a motive for you to use it, expect people complaining every single day and voicing out their complaints.
- Making a PvE game into a PvP game will be the end of it, such as the case of Kingdom Hearts Unchained X which recently closed this year. Powercreep became abundant after PvP was implemented and new medals(the reason you pull in the gacha in this game) were always more broken than the last.
- Mihoyo also has no intentions on focusing or creating PvP content as from an announcement from them. "Furthermore, gameplay modes like PVP multiplayer or intense one-on-one battles will not be our future priorities either." https://genshin.mihoyo.com/en/news/detail/570
Huh I didn't see that. It does seem to imply that they will be different but at the same time it could just be clarifying how the pity work. Guess we will find out soon.
If you meant this website
Then it's safe because it's literally their own website.
Another one that is actually safe is this website
They are official partner with Mihoyo.
Other than that no, never safe.
Side note: I have never seen anyone getting banned from buying "cheap" crystals, only when that questionable "cheap" crystals got refunded and it got to negative crystal, then you don't top it up, that will get you banned.
This is why it never safe to topup with anyone else, because the chance you getting "scam" like that are high even though you already did really got your crystals.
q&a on official website:
https://genshin.mihoyo.com/en/news/detail/596
Q13: Can we have/build our own homes in the game world?
Paimon: Yes you can! (o゜▽゜)o☆ But you may have to wait for somewhere between 1 and 10,000 days for it to be ready... Please give us more time~
​
they mentioned it more on their website back in april as well, so yes it's in development
It's damage control
It once was going to be a part of a package you buy at the shop. This is written on the patch notes. Mihoyo decided to give it away I guess.
Let's wait for tomorrow and see what we got.

no worries, the title is just for attention but Teyvat was initially declared as the name of the world when you download the game
https://genshin.mihoyo.com/m/en/map
> You have arrived in Teyvat — a fantasy world where the seven elements flow and converge. In the distant past, the Archons granted mortals unique elemental abilities. With the help of such powers, people formed a bountiful homeland out of the wilderness. However, 500 years ago, the collapse of an ancient civilization turned the universe upside down... Though the calamity the world suffered has ceased, peace has yet to be restored.
I mean, it's not a rumor. Here's the letter from CBT2.

I've always found it completely silly that a player going afk from the game and triggering the
Stellar Reunion event (https://genshin.mihoyo.com/en/news/detail/7489) over and over (No log in for 14 days+, and 45+ days since last triggering Stellar Reunion), would get a max refine rancour fastest than someone actually playing the game and doing weeklies each week.

As much as we would like to give players more freedom in discussions, we have to set certain limitations to protect the community and the players, while maintaining a reasonable balance between the public interest and the game's interest.
As someone pointed out below, it's still up in the news section on the website, so it just looks like they removed the hoyolab version to hide all the negative comments.
The developer has stated as clearly as they can that this form of content isn't happening. Source info - https://genshin.mihoyo.com/en/news/detail/570
The game isn't balanced for PvP content, and they won't balance (read nerf) for PvP, since that would effect the desirability of the character.
Honestly, what the game needs is a repeatable rewarding dungeon, probably rogue lite, so its randomised to a degree. Something you can grind when you are out of resin, basically. Alternatively they could actually make the open world functional; respawn chests, more xp/mora from mobs, all mobs have a 40% chance to drop fodder artifacts, again, stuff to do when out of resin...
So if anyone else doesn't know:
> BSPD3ZRXU985
60 primos & 10k mora. Dunno where the code originally came from, just saw it being shared. Someone said it might've come from Bilibili ^^idk
Based on Xiao's Vision lore, all adepti are capable of wielding the elements and have powers basically equating to a Vision, but it's unknown whether this power comes from Celestia and follows the same 'rules' as Visions for humans. From this article also on Xiao, it states that Adepti in Teyvat are explicitly non-human, as humans are considered to have a 'higher purpose'. Xiao's physical vision is apparently just to fit in with his human form.
Ganyu and Yanfei received Visions (presumably from Celestia) later in life, and both are also half-adepti. Ganyu's Vision lore says that it "[granted] her power to resonate with the world to a degree beyond her natural abilities.", which implies that she wasn't as strong before without a Vision.
Still, Ganyu had to have some natural power of her own to fight in the war, likely due to her half-blooded heritage combined with being raised/trained by the adepti growing up (they still have their own magic after all). Yanfei in comparison is far more like a regular human who just acquired a Vision through the usual ambition/motivation, especially since she grew up in the city during a time of peace and isn't as close to her adepti side as Ganyu.
Probably won’t be mentioned in the actual ability description, but it’ll be present.
https://genshin.mihoyo.com/m/en/news/detail/7524
They addressed the increased interrupt resist in the post, but have it marked with an asterisk.
They buffed Geo resonance(15% dmg increase?!?) because of people complaining on Zhongli, but ignored the fact that Electro is underpowered. Kinda sad, but I think the only way they'll buff Electro is when a Zhongli-like incident happened.
Are you sure, though? The official site says:
> Three regional salvage quests will become available on November 16, and three further regional salvage quests will become available on November 17. After all the regional quests are unlocked, Travelers must clear the first three salvage quests and claim the corresponding rewards in order to access the following three salvage quests.
Have you tested it on a second account? Or are you just assuming it works the way you think?
| Version 2.2 Codes | Rewards |
|---|---|
| LBNDKG8XDTND | 100 Primogems, 10 Mystic Enhancement Ores |
| NB6VKHQWVANZ | 100 Primogems, 5 Hero's Wits |
| BSNUJGQFUTPM | 100 Primogems, 50000 Mora |

The "three eyes" part of the adepti's title refers to the "third eye" possessed by those with the ability to manipulate elemental energy, which for humans takes the form of a Vision. For adepti such as Cloud Retainer and Mountain Shaper, the human understanding is that they must have an "inner eye" that serves the same purpose as a Vision. Xiao, however, typically appears in a human form, so he dutifully wears a Vision to comply with the expected norm.
You can learn more about xiao here - https://genshin.mihoyo.com/en/news/detail/8642
From this I believe it is fake to blend in. Adepti do not require vision to wield elemental powers.

Q2: Can I grow vegetables or flowers in Serenitea Pot?
A2: When the developers first started designing the Serenitea Pot, they had already planned to have a gardening system, and who doesn't love gardening! (〃'▽'〃) Although, the gardening system is proved to be more complex, so let's give the dev team some more time to polish it. The gardening system is not yet available in Version 1.5, but after a proper amount of development time and testing, it very soon will be online for all Travelers!
Q3: When gardening is available, what can I get from growing plants in Serenitea Pot? Can I get Mora, Resin, or Primogem?
A3: Well... you reap what you sow. And Paimon doesn't think Mora grows on trees... At the Realm Treasures, travelers can exchange for things like Mora or Hero's Wit. Paimon has seen some new things like Sanctifying Essence and Sanctifying Unction, which can be used to upgrade artifacts... In addition, you can also get a new kind of resin through Realm Treasures. This new Resin has the same functionality as the existing Resin, only that it will decompose with time. So Travelers, don't forget to use them in time.
Yup. Damage control for sure because it's literally in the official patch notes.

Wait... is there another Genshin event happening right now? All I see is the Marvelous Merchandise 🤔
Edit: found it on the Mihoyo site! For anyone else curious about it https://genshin.mihoyo.com/m/en/news/detail/8247
It seems they're planning to let us replay the cutscenes in Version 1.2:
https://genshin.mihoyo.com/m/en/news/detail/7170
• Q7: I wish there was a place to view the dialog for quests I have already completed. Sometimes it's nice to go back over the story.
• A7: Version 1.2 adds the Travel Log section to the Archive. All dialog (text and audio) from previously completed Archon Quests and Story Quests will appear here. This way, Travelers can re-read and play back the dialog from completed quests.
- If you fail to obtain a 4-star item after making 6 Wishes in "Character Event Wish" and continue to wish in "Character Event Wish-2," within a maximum of 4 Wishes made in "Character Event Wish-2," you will be guaranteed to obtain at least an item with a 4-star rating or above from "Character Event Wish-2."
- If you obtain a 4-star item from "Character Event Wish" that is not one of the featured characters on "Character Event Wish" and continue to wish in "Character Event Wish-2," the next 4-star item will be guaranteed to be a 4-star featured character from "Character Event Wish-2."
From the official article about the dual character banner. I guess this implies that each banner in the double rerun from 2.3 will have different 4* character rates-up?
You can actually. It's part of miHoYo's account.

Mihoyo have repeatedly said that PvP isn't something they want to do in this game. The closest we'll probably get might be leaderboards or events like Windtrace.
They are already working on it. It was mentioned already in a previous Developer Discussion.

Yeah man. It is definitely planned when mhy themselves announced it on 2.1 that this is a buyable packs that they plan to put it in shop. Keep on inhaling that copium.
during the zhongli incident, it took a very long time for mihoyo to make a statement responding to everyone's complaints. their first announcement was super vague and side-steppy, like they wanted to say "we hear you" without making any promises. they didn't announce that they would buff him until they actually had a buff ready. they even started giving some players buffs for early testing purposes without telling anyone.
so it could be that mihoyo is planning to buff electro or raiden, but they don't want to make early promises in case they can't keep them, so they're gonna avoid making any announcements until they have something concrete.
^(or maybe im just on copium)

https://genshin.mihoyo.com/en/news/detail/8642 - This is the developers explaining how they came about with Xiao as a character, including the cultural aspects
As for the Chinese inspirations from Liyue, definitely look into the fashion trends of 1930-40 China. I found a really good resource and I'll link it to you if/when I find it.
Lantern rite seems to be a stand-in for the Chinese New Year, with the lantern-releasing aspect dating back to the Han Dynasty iirc.
Unfortunately, no. It says on the event page here that: "Unfinished orders will not carry over to the next day, so please complete them in good time to avoid disappointment~"
Dude it was mentioned in their update notes as paid bundle
New Bundle "Boundless Symphony" will be
added to the Shop at a later date: Purchase this bundle to receive
Special Namecard Style: "Celebration: Tuneful Delight," Special
Furnishing: "Splendid Phrase," Special Wind Glider: "Wings of Poetic
Melodies," and Primogems × 1,000."

Just going to put this here. They announced launch day rewards on the day of launch. Mihoyo always announces stuff on the day of.
While it's not confirmed that Xiao's original form is a bird, Xiao's developer insight https://genshin.mihoyo.com/en/news/detail/8642 mentions:
"[...] Mekhila, who would otherwise correspond to the rooster, is instead associated with a bird deity, the golden-winged Garuda, a figure from various Indian religions. The story goes that this golden-winged bird deity was a fearsome predator who ate only evil dragons, until one day the dragon poison he had consumed became too much for him to bear, and he burned to death, leaving only a crystal heart behind. This story seemed to resonate with aspects of Xiao's character. Furthermore, the Chinese name Jinchi Peng Wang Niao (金翅鹏王鸟, "Golden Winged Great Peng") embodies a history of evolution — it represents a convergence between Garuda and the Peng, a Chinese mythological bird, showing that some adaptation occurred in the process of his adoption into Chinese religion. After much consideration, we decided to use the Golden Winged Great Peng as the basis for Xiao's Constellation. In English, Xiao's Constellation has been localized as "Alatus Nemeseos," in reference to the bird deity and Xiao's role as the nemesis of evil."
new 1.3 notes indicate that the new leyline event only last for 1 weeks
now that's a sadge moment right there, thought could maximise the whole month with it.

Wasn't this confirmed a while back from a Q&A they did?
https://genshin.mihoyo.com/en/news/detail/6085
> Q: I never have enough Original Resin, which makes it difficult to complete various daily tasks and the weekly Battle Pass Missions.
>A: In Version 1.1, we have decreased the Original Resin requirement in Battle Pass Weekly Missions from 1,600 to 1,200. Furthermore, Travelers will be able to store up to a maximum of 160 Original Resin (increased from the current limit of 120).
Glad they're going forward with the co-op event, though I wonder how they've changed it, if they have at all that is
This post from the testing period version has more details about how it worked
This wing is part of a paid bundle announced in the 2.1 patch notes (point 8), not something specially prepared by Mihoyo as a free gift for the anniversary. So no, they hadn't been preparing to dish it out at the right time. They'd been planning on selling it.
what is there to calm down? The same events are made by hoyolab every patch. You just don't notice cuz you never participate in them.
I bet you didn't even know about https://genshin.mihoyo.com/en/news/detail/15656
3500 gems for streaming.
While I agree that 1.7 is likely Inazuma or at least a subsection of it, the 1.6 islands do not stay after 1.6 per the patch notes. (https://genshin.mihoyo.com/m/en/news/detail/13423)
As for the mats (datamine spoiler): >!The anemone mats and boss mats are Kazuha’s ascension materials.!<
The developer has stated as clearly as they can that this form of content isn't happening. Source info - https://genshin.mihoyo.com/en/news/detail/570
Honestly, what the game needs is a repeatable rewarding dungeon, probably rogue lite, so its randomised to a degree. Something you can grind when you are out of resin, basically. Alternatively they could actually make the open world functional; respawn chests, more xp/mora from mobs, all mobs have a 40% chance to drop fodder artifacts, again, stuff to do when out of resin...
As someone hard skipping this event, I really hope it fails. I skipped Elemental Cruicible way back at the start too. I play games solo, including games like No Man Sky and Remnant: From the Ashes, that like Genshin have co-op baked in, but the way it should be; entirely optional. This co-op exclusive stuff or locking teapot stuff behind friends, pushes me closer to leaving the game.
It's in the patch note you have to read through the entire thing. Most people were only focusing on the Chalk Prince and Dragonspine

Ye, check the "Other" section where it renames stuff.

Like, okay, this part is hilarious and totally in character, but what did Kaeya ever do to you, Mihoyo

To further FreezeShock's comment, the bundle in question was likely the Boundless Symphony Bundle mentioned in 2.1's patchnotes, with the furnishing Splendid Phrase and Wings of Poetic Melody being renamed. The Offline Concert has also been postponed due to COVID concerns, the bundle in addition; whether related or not, the postponement of the bundle itself may be caused by the need to create new assets before it is truly released as per the official notes.
In game models shouldn't really affect the games file size as much as installing all the X amount of voice language options or higher resolution textures, (which can extend to player model textures, but less significant) and pre-rendered cutscene resolution (that are actual video vs being in-game) so-on.
I wonder if someone has unpacked the game files on mobile or done a comparison, etc
You can get an idea of the model sizes via their official versions here: https://genshin.mihoyo.com/ja/news/detail/5885
anyway its definitely more-so a workflow thing
https://genshin.mihoyo.com/m/en/news/detail/8642
Developer insight for Xiao, highly recommended read, lots of details about the nature of adepti (real thing in Chinese mythology as well as Xiao’s design, from his animations to his color scheme. The direct quote is below
The adepti are based on the idea of demigod-like "immortals" (仙人 xianren) in Daoism, and are referred to by the honorific title "sanyan wuxian" (三眼五显), literally "three eyes and five manifestations" (but localized in English as "mighty and illuminated"). The adepti are classed as non-human, based on the notion that "All who have nine orifices can achieve immortality through self-discipline," a line uttered by the "Monkey King" Sun Wukong in the Ming-dynasty novel Journey to the West. This means that animals are also capable of achieving adeptus status. However, humans have a higher purpose than adepti in the world of Teyvat, so for this reason, only those of non-human status can be referred to as "adepti" in Liyue. The "three eyes" part of the adepti's title refers to the "third eye" possessed by those with the ability to manipulate elemental energy, which for humans takes the form of a Vision.

Wing, Namecard, Furniture, Primo originally for sale
Most likely renamed in haste & split into 4 mail for damage control
>Given how weirdly out of character Xiao was in that entire festival (even with the character the English dub gives, there's no way Xiao

>wouldn't

>tell the traveller what his deal is with crowded places given he's pretty damn blunt/upfront about everything else) I kinda feel that he wasn't even apart of the original thing and was shoehorned in at the last moment.
No, Xiao has always been the main character associated with the Lantern Festival... I'd say he's practically the posterboy of the Lantern Festival.
Take a look at this event page:
https://genshin.mihoyo.com/en/news/detail/2785
It's from March 2020 (in other words, pre-release) and the cutscene that plays at the end of the festival was also already created by that point and was on Youtube.
The whole event revolves around celebrating / commemorating the fallen heroes of Liyue, the deceased adeptus, a group of which Xiao is one of the few remaining members. How would he not fit into this event of all things?
And IDK about the english dub and how they've mangled Xiao's character with it, but in the JP dub there are no problems with Xiao's characterization. He's a fussy and reclusive tsundere through and through, and they've emphasized that in his Serenitea Pot dialogue lines as well.
What exactly did you find out of character with the way he acted during the event?
its less of elecro specific buff but buff for EM scaling in general
quote from the patch notes
> Increases the damage caused by major reactions (i.e. Electro-Charged, Superconduct, Overloaded, Swirl, and Shatter), when a character reaches Level 60 or above. Increases the Base Shield DMG Absorption for shields generated by Crystallize reactions. Increases the DMG Bonus provided by Elemental Mastery for major reactions. (Refer to the attributes panel in-game for the exact DMG Bonus amount.)
The EN voice direction is what made him out to be edgy, if you Listen to the OG CN version, he is really dignified, calm and a little bit tired. The JP voice direction got it quite accurate too. It's unfortunate how the vast majority of the Europe server players will never truly experience how Xiao is as a character. I hope the EN director reconsiders their direction. Even in the personality section of the developer's insight describes him as a silent and brooding individual. Ig they took the brooding part too seriously.
My fellow manga readers, do you think Collei has a decent chance at becoming playable in the future? The manga wasn't that long so I can't really make any educated guess...
Also to those who haven't read it before, I really recommend reading it if you feel burnout, are bored or have nothing to do after playing Genshin. It's not even that long, and it's colored. Plus you get to see a different side of Kaeya, and see why Diluc despises the knights so much.
The r/Genshin_Lore sub has a bunch of interesting stuff like this analysing translations and influences for the game's design choices.
For things directly from Mihoyo,this article was really cool talking about Xiao: https://genshin.mihoyo.com/m/en/news/detail/8642 and there are a few others on the website like it.
There's also an interview from a magazine where someone from Mihoyo confirmed the Gnosticism/Archon stuff was a conscious choice from the Chinese writing team, it isn't just made up by the translation team. There are posts on this topic on the lore subreddit too though might need to search around. Could try a search there for "William Blake" or "Auguries of Innocence" which was mentioned in the same interview.
