dogsicle posted:to clarify, her dress is just so loving huge for me to imagine running around the world and climbing poo poo/swimming in, so they'd keep the sexy but have it be mildly more practical (in the game where 99% of women wear heels exclusively) In related news, Zhongli is actually not as tall as I thought. In fact, he is slightly shorter than Tartaglia, who remains the tallest playable character by an inch or two. Zhongli is taller than Diluc though. The Deleter posted:The idea that Monstadt and Jean tolerates them for even a second is wilder imo. gandlethorpe posted:Zhongli has no "selfish" ability that causes him to personally deal more damage through attacking or even being on the field. This is why he'll never be a proper DPSer. EDIT: And Jean is much more capable than say Barbara, primarily because Aquila Favonia is bullshit good. But it ain't Crescent Pike good.

Nakar posted:Diona, who is definitely the heftiest technicality here because she has by far the worst foot-angling of any character in the game as she literally walks on her toes, but her shoes have no heels at all in a way that looks genuinely disturbing. Those kinds of boots exist in real life, although they're... not ideal for acrobatics or combat, to put it mildly. In her case, it's supposed to mimic a cat's digitigrade legs. A lot of Diona's design is like that.

"I'm not a cat," says young cat-eared woman with cat insignias on her shoes and a cat's-paw-shaped purse. Also fun fact, neither Diona nor Sucrose have human ears modeled at all, even getting the camera in close so that their hair becomes semi-transparent doesn't turn anything up. They are not four-eared abominations.

Nakar posted:She has cat ears and a cat tail so I just assumed she had cat feet. Although I think her cat-patterned hands are actually gloves. I got a lotta questions about Diona's fashion sense. Yeah after I saw her shoes I just assumed she's got gross little cat-feet shoved in there. Just human toes but in a cat paw shape.

I kinda hope the Cat's Tail opens up at some point. Diluc's tavern is a lot like him, functional but boring. We could use a new place for ridiculous shenanigans.

Ashenai posted:Yeah I think that's a smart observation. There's no power creep yet. I would expect there to be some eventually, but who knows when? The more people are willing to spend on waifus and husbandos without caring about their stats, the less power creep is necessary. Supposedly people spent a LOT on Zhongli, despite him being possibly the weakest 5* to date. Well I couldn't stand watching the primos pile up so I went ahead and did a 10 pull....and got my first Qiqi and first Xinyan on the first 2 pulls. Qiqi owns in every co-op domain encounted her in, always wanted her, didn't even know she puts Liyue specialties on the map!!! I don't think I have the personality to hoard wishes. Every other day I use saved 3 condensed resin + 3 new ones and spend the change on bosses. That usually gets 2-3 wishes worth of primogens and I have a really hard time watching those stack up without using them. I guess that means they've hooked me with the slot machine but thankfully not enough to even dolphin, I'm not sure what the nomenclature is per US dollar spent so I hope that's the appropriate cetacian taxonomy.

If we ever get a Diona story quest (which I hope that we do, they can't just keep giving them to new 5*s only!), we'll probably get to go to the Cat's Tail.

I imagine we might eventually see batches of 4* story quests to help fill out version updates once they're not rolling out whole new systems or areas in every single one.

Is Black Tassel ever good? It is really tempting to max it out because my only problems right now are loving ice slimes, but I'm worried that the math might work out to it being worse than halberd or pike, even against slimes.

I finally took tart out for a spin open world. Jfc the difference between him and Klee is hilarious. I think the speed/climb/height thing is cool and good for the most part, a fun thing that makes differences. I mean I ran around as Klee for a month with no complaints. But also the gliding challenge is so ridiculously easier with the giant childe that I have no words.

Nakar posted:The implication is Jean can't because Varka took all the best knights to gently caress off for a while so she lacks the military might and Monstadt is a pseudo-anarchy and you can't actually tell anyone to leave. I actually just played through the beginning on a second account (shut up COVID isolation is so boring), and it definitely agrees with this theory. Jean is in a bind wrt the Stormterror thing because the Fatui are pressuring her and she thinks she can't give them an excuse to come in force. It feels like a sort of situation where Monstadt (and maybe Liyue for that matter) feel like they can't take a war so they have to be careful not to give an excuse to declare one. Not entirely clear why the Tsaritsa needs an excuse exactly, but she might have nobles to keep happy, and of course her Harbingers are pretty obviously in that "technically subordinate, but" category too, so she might have domestic reasons. Or it's possible there are treaties or customs that would spark another Archon War no one wants and so it's sort of a Cold War analogue where everyone needs to be careful not to trigger MAD, or that a similar thing is true but only in the case of unprovoked war, etc.

i feel like the only reason you'd raise Black Tassel is for Zhongli due to the HP% bonus, and its something you could math out on whether it's worthwhile over a 4* like Grudge. in general i assume the higher base atk given by 4*+ just beats out anything 3* unless it also has a strong effect, which BT does not. you at least get better shields out of him i guess.

Li Yue is a more hilarious take on this in that Ning is tolerating it for her part because she's eager to rip them off. Literally her first thought after the finale is "I am going to make so much money off of extracting concessions and favors from these rubes!". kater posted:Klee also lacks human ears. Klee's mother is also supposedly from a rather german sounding alternate world (Which may or may not be linked to the earlier civilization below Teyvat's surface.). She introduced Barbara to the concept of Japanese idols, despite being looking like an elf or very 90's anime-esque demon with her ears. Apparently people just showing up in Teyvat is a thing that happens. Also, she hates Zhongli for his dour personality. I guess he tried the whole "You must carry the memories of our people with you!" schtick on her and she was just all "Naaah, I wanna go make some more explosions.".

So I'm just curious. Am I crazy or does Albedo just look like a slightly older, alternate universe version of the male Traveler? What are the odds that this comes up in some weird distant plotline because MiHoYo lore?   They even share similar fashion senses!
