What is this kid's DEAL?!

So Venti has 2 names.

Zhongli has 3 names.

Raiden has 1, 2, 3.... 4 names?

Baal/Beelzebul, Ei, Raiden Shogun, Magatsu Mitake Narukami no Mikoto
Not counting Makoto


Looking forward to seeing if these trends continue. When we get to courtroom drama land they could steal a very fun gag from Ace Attorney − Spirit of Justice introducing the Hydro Archon.

I think the only character who uses the word baal is zhongli.

Also I realize why I thought zhongli was two words, it fits the EN dub pronunciation better.

The real answer is that it really depends on how you write the english version of his name since in chinese Zhong is one word and Li is another. Zhongli follows what I believe are the standard romanization rules, but splitting it is also something I can see people doing because it's two words when you say it :shrug:

It's two characters but 钟离 is historically a surname, not a surname + given name https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zhongli.
Two-character surnames are rare in modern times but are still around (Ouyang being the most common I think).
So Zhongli as one word seems more natural to me. That said Genshin china isn't actual china and Zhongli isn't even the guy's real name so you'd have to ask the fictional character to know for sure.

Raidens only got 2 names? Beelzebul and Raiden Ei. She has a bunch of titles, and the puppet also has a couple titles, but they're not her name.

3.0 is the patch after 2.8, so we actually don't have a huge amount of time to go. I think it's like 2 months?

The game makes it fairly clear that Zhongli is Morax's (assumed) human form surname, not surname+given name. For characters that use their full names, there's consistently a space between the surname and given name (e.g. Hu Tao, Yun Jin). Although for most Liyue characters with two-character names with no space, the name used is the given name, not the surname.

Also:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zhongli_Quan

quote:

In this Chinese name, the family name is Zhongli.

Zhongli Quan, courtesy name Jidao, is a Chinese mythological figure and one of the Eight Immortals in the Taoist pantheon. He is also known as Han Zhongli because he was said to have been born in the Han dynasty. In legend, he wields a large fan which can resurrect the dead and transform stones into silver or gold.
Zhongli is probably a reference to this xian.

It's more or less certain that 2.8 is Kazuha/Klee + Yomiya rerun with the Golden Apple Archipelago coming back and then it's straight on to 3.0 and Sumeru.

Don't put points into luck, they said.

It's a useless stat, they said.
Hey, I just finished Inazuma, so I can clear up Raiden's names for you.


Baal/Makoto: The original electro archon. Twin to Ei. People assumed they were the same person, but the electro archon 500 years ago was actually both twins. Super dead now.

Beelzebub/Ei: The current electro archon. Twin to Makoto. This is the version you meet in the plane of Euthymia. This is also who you interact with mostly in the Raiden Shogun story quests.

Raiden Shogun: This is the puppet that Ei made to handle day to day affairs in the real world while Ei is in Euthymia. She's who you met initially during the Inazuma plot during Thomas's trial, up until Ei dragged you into Euthymia with her.

Public image is that the electro archon is the same person throughout time because Ei never announced her sister's death. She just resumed business as usual.


And that's why Raiden appears to have 5 different names.

I finished the whispers in the wind achievement a few months back but still haven't finished the "tales of winter" one, which I'm sure I've done more than 3 times now but who knows which option I'm consistently not picking lol. If I ever finish that one I'm totally done with Mondstadt though.

Of course they had to randomly put the stream on a Saturday instead of the Friday like usual when I'm off cause of Canada Day. Oh well, I never get to see any livestream stuff actually live anyway so makes sense honestly. It'll let me skip past the banter to the good bits.
