Given that Nahida can do everything and we think "dendro Kokomi" will probably be Baizhu's thing, there's not really an obvious niche for him, is there? A shielder or buffer seems to be the most likely thing? Maybe both! I don't think a mono-dendro gimmick is in the cards yet. Even after he comes out, there still won't be enough characters for it.

I think there's no problem with Alhaitham being a carry, just in opposite directions from Tighnari (and maybe stronger, being a limited unit) like having better AOE or being a hypercarry instead of quickswap.

Kale posted:It's much more apparent in Honkai then virtually any other GAAS I think I've ever played really. I got the chance to use a trial character that came out this year after using the starting characters from 2018 for a while now and it's more stark than even moving on from Lisa/Kaeya/Traveller/Barbara/Amber to virtually anyone else. Such smoother movement and unique animations for skills and even cutaway animations for Ults. This is mostly because the starter units in that game move like absolute complete dogshit. Basically imagine if every character you got for free's sprint mechanic was the equivalent of Kujou Sara's E-skill movement is the best way I could describe it. the b rank "3-star-character" starters all suck but early s ranker units like hotv are still decently smooth they give her free to every new player now too alongside another S-rank, fallen rosemary. hotv is giga powercrept in the actual meta though regardless of how interesting she may or may not be to play. still better than b-rank kiana though lol

on alhaitham there was a leak a while back that basically made him sound like the fusion of albedo and childe, where he could deploy a zone that attacks enemies on its own but also turned his regular attacks into ranged thrown attacks closer to what a catalyst's normals would be while he's in the zone, so he's kind of reverse childe in that he changes from a melee to a ranged unit and i'm kinda hoping his actual kit is like that because that sounds fun as hell

That sounds kind of weird. If he lays down an area it would be better if he turned melee while in it.

After going through BotW getting every korok seed and maxing every armor set before reluctantly fighting a single divine beast, I thought I'd give this a try instead of playing BotW NG+. Unfortunately Genshin doesn't have a Majora's Mask equivalent to make enemies ignore me while I look for treasure chests. But it also doesn't make me slide down cliffs when it's raining. So, pros and cons.

If he lays down an area it would be better if he turned melee while in it. well, we already know he's sword because he uses one in the story, so they couldn't do that if they wanted to. it'd be kind of neat if he had some kind of CC where he pulled enemies into the zone he's in with the ranged attacks or something, or he gets some kind of buff while he's in the zone to make it worth it. (or just make the zone really big). the leak also indicated that his ult generated some kind of buff to the damage his zone does with an explosion at the end, so maybe that'll be it? we'll just have to wait and see when the next beta goes live.

Yeah I guess that's true. It would be neat to have a twist on the Childe formula by having a melee character turn ranged and being buffed by staying outside of zone they create or something.

Ah, how annoying. I remember hearing that anything that has to do with "bullets" actually means something else, but I don't remember what the something else ended up being. I think I remember Faruzan and Mika's kits also having something to do with "bullets." Maybe it means, a projectile that spawns an effect when it collides with something? I don't remember though.

https://twitter.com/genshin_meme_jp/status/1599735346840932356?t=mxDkO3vPREk1TsgXkt-Oaw&s=19 thought this might be interesting to people, personal pronouns (as in, versions of 'i') used in the jp script. for quick descriptions (note that in real life, a person usually switches pronouns depending on context, while in entertainment a character generally sticks to one pronoun in order to give them a firmer image): oira: country bumpkin, somewhat masculine and proud. goku uses this. (well technically he uses ora but oira is basically the same thing) watashi: somewhat formal, slightly feminine but can be used by men in polite context (for instance, men tend to use it in college classes). uraraka in my hero academia uses this. one of the standard pronouns in real life. ore: masculine, somewhat proud, can be impolite if used in formal/polite contexts. naruto and sasuke use this, as do most 'aggressive' male characters in fiction. one of the standard pronouns in real life. ore-sama: mostly exclusive to anime or kids being silly. textually it comes across very proud and arrogant but it mostly just comes across silly or like you're trying too hard. every generic bandit guy who gets beaten up in chapter 1 of a fire emblem game uses this. atashi: a more feminine derivative of watashi. mostly used in casual conversation by more polite women. orihime in bleach uses this. can be used my men when trying to appear humble or nonthreatening, usually associated with shopkeeping or merchants when used by men. fairly standard in real life. atai: an informal slang version of atashi, somewhat impolite. has a lower class, uneducated, or rebellious image. ayla in chrono trigger uses this. boku: a masculine pronoun thats more assertive than watashi but much less so than ore. common with young boys, or men who aren't trying to project any kind of strength. adult men in real life mostly use it when dealing with strangers, for instance, while rarely using it with friends. young women occasionally use it to project a tomboyish image, but thats much more common in anime than it is in real life, outside of very close company. deku in my hero academia uses this, hence the series' jp title, boku no hero academia. one of the standard pronouns in real life. watakushi: an extremely formal and polite pronoun. has an oldfashioned feel to it. generally associated with princesses in fiction, hence fischl's use of it despite her not necessarily being polite and humble. dori's use of it is likely a reference to very early japanese classes for foreigners, where the only personal pronoun they were told to use was 'watakushi' (under the logic that while it might sound stiff and weird, it was unlikely to offend anyone) so it has an association with foreign merchants and traders. frieza uses it in dbz, at least when hes trying to appear polite, likely in reference to this, since he is in the business of selling planets. sees some use in real life, mostly in things like formal job interviews. ware: an extremely old-fashioned personal pronoun, gender neutral, still used in writing, very polite. has a slight 'robotic' feel to it. in fiction, associated with powerful immortal entities like gods, demons, or ancient war machines, hence xiao and shenhe's use of it since they sorta fit multiple of those categories. has a slight impersonal feel to it specifically, which especially fits shenhe. warawa: archaic feminine pronoun, mainly used by women in samurai families. humble and self-effacing. no longer used today. in fiction it tends to be associated with ancient female characters using it ironically, which fits yae to a T. washi: a pronoun mostly associated with old men in fiction, though in real life its gender neutral and relatively common in kansai, but its use has declined among younger generations due to that fictional use. very much associated with wise old men characters, for instance the JP translations of lord of the rings have both gandalf and saruman use it. faruzan's use of it is a dig about her age, basically, but also a reference to her intelligence. uchi: informal feminine pronoun, mostly associated with kansai and kyushu. due to regional stereotypes (think american stereotypes about texas), it's associated with easy going characters, as well as cool big sister types, both of which yoimiya kinda fits. sessha: a formal, very humble personal pronoun (roughly means 'this unworthy fool'), mostly associated with samurai and ninja in fiction. goemon in lupin the third uses this, for instance. setsu: 'this clumsy one,' seems to be used in fiction as a derivative of sessha. own name: very young kids do this, hence klee and qiqi doing it. sayu and diona not doing it establishes them as either slightly older or more mature than klee and qiqi.

So, in English Cloud Retainer always refers to herself as 'One' 'One is most impressed.' 'You surmise correctly. This place did oneself build, as did one design the mechanisms within.' 18:54 if the video doesn't load. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GPFRmK1DaBQ&t=1134s I still need to reread that post 7 more times to try and keep all that info locked in, how would that translate into Japanese?

Cloud Retainer and the other non-humanoid adepti are just doing a variant of the Royal We because they're old as poo poo and expect a certain amount of decorum towards themselves from the humans. Although Cloud I think actually slips up once or twice and says "I" instead, so it's really just an affectation for their station, I figure.

Also, you can file Dehya under "atashi"; Alhaitham under "ore"; Kaveh under "boku"; and Baizhu, Signora and Dottore under "watashi". I spent literal minutes in the Travel Log conducting this crucial research.
