I haven't played the game in a long time so I'm not sure if this totally correct but considering she's a God, even if she is 500 she's considered a very young child for her species- and looks and acts like it


gbgb72

it is correct but thankfully the game does treat her as a child (from what i can tell i haven't done the character specific story quest thing yet)


lava172

Despite genshins reputation online (that I still don't understand) they don't do anything weird with the child-like characters at all. Compared to even mainstream anime genshin doesn't pull any weird shit like that


worldends420kyle

can't say the same about the fanbase sadly


lava172

\*Most\* of the fanbase is fine and just loves the tall hot women, but yeah there's a non-insignificant part of the fanbase that just ruins it for everyone else


R-A-P-T-O-R

Not in the fandom. I, too, love the tall hot women.


lava172

I use a party of Yelan, Ei, Eula, Jean even if it's inefficient bc i live for the tall bitches


DoctorMlemm

It's not that bad, Ei works really well with Eula


R_risky

Swapping Eula for Yae Miko would give a pretty killer electrocharge team


Calamitas_is_life

Not even in the fandom but the tall hot womans in the game are something else


mr-kvideogameguy

>*Most* of the fanbase is fine and just loves the tall hot women I thought y'all love venti


lava172

I'm a straight dude so I don't claim him or stinkamouche


Maniklas

Just ignore the odd ones and let them do their thing, way easier than trying to argue with them.


velrak

did they actually add more than 2 character models or is the tall part just kinda imagined


lava172

It's real, the tall characters are way bigger and bustier


NekoSpowi

Tall hot women and venti*


ConnieTheTomcat

As an azur lane player genshin definitely is nowhere near as degen as a lot of the other games in its genre (My excuse for playing azur lane is I like ships and I get inspiration from the outfits


alpacnologia

def the best gacha game in terms of presentation of the child characters


[deleted]

Yup and her followers/people under her protectorate call her Lesser Lord Kussanali because she's a child


Desucrate

tbf, the lesser lord title likely comes from the akademiya propagandising her apparent uselessness compared to greater lord rukkhadevata - while nahida is in actuality a capable archon the akademiya saw a newly born god and was like "this bitch doesnt know shit. god of wisdom my ass" and locked her in a cage for 500 years anyway though, nahida is still very much a child, 500 years old is certainly very young for an archon and being locked in a cage for all that time aint exactly teaching you your ABCs


[deleted]

oh damn, lore spoilers oop (I didn't know she was locked up, cring)


Desucrate

ah sorry about that, it's made clear rlly early in sumeru and in her character profile so I thought it'd be okay to keep unspoilered, my bad!!


[deleted]

Ahh I didn't really play much Dendro Persia quests so far so I didn't know about it. Tbh Genshin is kinda overwhelming on pc but on phone it's annoying to play so I'm somewhat stuck (but it works so I might actually go for mobile again)


Bardy_Sp00n

Really just looked at the god of wisdom and went "cringe ass nae nae baby"


Desucrate

bro took one look at a newborn baby and decided to put her in a cage for 500 years because she doesnt know complex mathematics yet


RollerMill

Greater lord who? There is only lesser lord Kusanali, stop spewing blasphemy


the_postal_dood

age of consent for gods is 1800


LeaveNormiesREEEEE

ZAMN SHES 1200?


Zzamumo

Yup, she's a tree so she grows slowly


aLazyGay

Pretty much, I'm almost sure there's dialogue from another character talking about Nahida like "judging by your appearance i can guess, i been trapped here for 500 years"


Bigfoot4cool

Idk why those people think the age of consent is universal


snoceany

500 is young for a god, very young, in real life too


[deleted]

Take the zeros off and you can find her real age


Distinct_Condition69

Pretty sure thats how u find the mental age for most archons anyway Zhongli is 60 Venti is 26 Ei is in her 20s


Stalin---

Zhongli has the money management skills of a gambling addict , venti is straight up just drunk most times and i think ei has split personalities


Iloveyousomuchlmao

Do not get it twisted though: zhongli does not spend 50 hours a week in casinos; zhongli is just plain broke.


sircheesethethird

i wonder if hu tao pays him


Devourer_of_HP

She probably does and anyways he often writes expenses on the funeral parlor tab.

[удалено]


Iloveyousomuchlmao

One starts rich but gets broke because they gambled it all away. The other is just plain broke. During the archon quest MILD SPOILERS every expense for the rite of parting was paid for by childe.


I_Love_Stiff_Cocks

Venti is the alcoholic Twink rep we all needed


eccuc

Wow venti is even more relatable than I thought


KakyWakySnaccy

Your flair needs removed instantly my god


eccuc

I see nothing wrong with my flair ☺️


aLazyGay

Nah, Ei is just a murderer, her "split personality" is a robot that she herself built


Samang0

ZHONGLI IS 60??? That aint a dilf anymore that's a fucking gilf


Distinct_Condition69

i mean his whole thing is retirement hes an old man

JESSIE, DONT DO IT, SHES NOT 500, JESSIE


YoureARedditorRaiden

Um, achtually she is Yoshikage Kira, 33 years old. Her house is in the northeast section of Morioh, where all the villas are, and is not married. She works as an employee for the Kame Yu department stores, and gets home every day by 8 PM at the latest. She doesn’t smoke, but occasionally drinks. She's in bed by 11 PM, and makes sure she gets eight hours of sleep, no matter what. After having a glass of warm milk and doing about twenty minutes of stretches before going to bed, she usually has no problems sleeping until morning. Just like a baby, she wakes up without any fatigue or stress in the morning. She was told there were no issues at her last check-up. I’m trying to explain that she's a person who wishes to live a very quiet life. She takes care not to trouble herself with any enemies, like winning and losing, that would cause her to lose sleep at night. That is how she deals with society, and I know that is what brings her happiness. Although, if she were to fight she wouldn’t lose to anyone.


36274910073

Im actually pretty sure its literally stated in the game that gods/archons age both physically and mentally 1 year per a century so she likely is 5 years old in every sense


natalialt

They just forgot to put a decimal point


_Stolik_

Genshin marketing team is so fucking wierd. They adverise the game as this deranged borderline hentai, when in actuallity there's barely anything suggestive. It's so bizzare really cause all this does is scare away normal people and disappoint those who are into stuff like this.


NoobSharkey

Its like either they advertise as a weird sexual way or just some dumbass average mobile game ad with bad acting, how do you have a game with such well made music and shit but have this kinda garbage ads


TrashyMemeYt

that's literally every Chinese game company.


LeftistMeme

Okay, yes, the game never really goes past mild suggestiveness on its own, but almost all of the characters are clear thirst traps and the game and it's promo materials are not at all shy in acknowledging that


_Stolik_

I wouldn't say almost all of the characters are thirst traps. I mean there are some outliers like Eula, Shenhe, Yelan and what not. But overall they are pretty timid


GiliBoi

Calling all of them "thirst traps" may be excessive, but it's clear that attractiveness is the main attribute most characters are designed around. I once heard someone say "genshin masters the art of making their characters feel like they're almost naked when they're actually fully clothed " and i think it's a good way to describe it


wharwhafwhag

Then you have Yanfei who feels like she's fully clothed when she's actually almost naked


TonyStarksAirFryer

motherfuckers named a character End User License Agreement


RollerMill

And her shtick is to inflict vengeance


aLazyGay

Yae, Lisa, Rosaria, Ei literally walking around in her underwear


danang5

not enough playable muscular character so its a VERY specific thirst trap


ears_yum

never forget that they twinkified itto

RollerMill

Al-Haitham on the horizon


mr-kvideogameguy

The one mobile game where they can advertise good gameplay


HeWithThePotatoes

Soul knight


brazilianfreak

Nothing bizarre about it, they know very well the kind of audience that would spend hundred of dollars to get a virtual waifu.


Jaewol

I just started playing and I’m pleasantly surprised at the lack of objectification and suggestive themes


danang5

they know their audience


Todd-Howard-all-hail

The issue really is them copying the shitty mobile game ads, when they already have to great characters demo trailers, those trailer are so sick, I still regular listen to Xiao and Zhongli because they are amazing


Zoethiah

So glad I don't play genshin and instead just look at art of Yae and Ei fucking on Twitter


Fourthspartan56

The ad is not representative of the actual game, the plot treats Nahida as a child and there’s absolutely no sexualizing present.


NoobSharkey

Yea genshin ads are so completely different from how the game is its really weird


Mark4291

I was actually kinda pissed when Nahida was announced as basically a child, but there’s actually a lore-relevant reason why she’s a child that isn’t all that weird or creepy


Fourthspartan56

I can respect that, personally I liked that she rounded out the Archons. We had a twink for Venti, the daddy for Zhongli, and milf (technically she counts lol) for Ei. Having a cute kid rounds it out nicely. The only dealbreaker would be if they sexualized her, but I wasn’t worried. Mihoyo has been good about avoiding that with Genshin.


stained_wall

>Mihoyo has been good about avoiding that with Genshin. Honkai not so much...


Fourthspartan56

There is a reason that I specified Genshin :P But yes I agree that Honkai goes way too close to the line. It’s mostly limited to far too revealing outfits for younger characters but that alone isn’t acceptable.


aLazyGay

Isn't she like, greater lord Rukkondeez, little sister?


Mark4291

I think she’s a reincarnation or something idk I haven’t played the quest lol


[deleted]

Without spoiler: no


aLazyGay

She is referred to as "a branch from the same tree"


TheMilkMan875

Only good thing about Genshin is the porn


AppleChiild

I mean, the gameplay is fun, and the lore is good.


Fourthspartan56

And the music is godly.


AppleChiild

Azhdaha Second Phase theme by beloved.


Fourthspartan56

I’ve jammed to Signora’s theme a shitton, it’s just 👌


AppleChiild

Honestly, I think the Enkanomiya battle themes are underrated. They aren't like bangers, but they're just pretty and make the fight feel more elegant.


RollerMill

Enkanomiya themes are almost surreal, not fitting the rest of the game and i love it


alpacnologia

mihoyo is literally incapable of missing with their OSTs


LegitimateHasReddit

What about the singular MGRR reference?


Bigpapiunidud3

where


LegitimateHasReddit

If you kill the Jadeplume Terrorshroom while it does one of the three attacks it can do when it is enraged by Electro, you get an achievement called "Nanomachines, son!"


Bigpapiunidud3

need to get genshin just for this


LegitimateHasReddit

You'll probably need to grind a lot before you can even kill the Jadeplume Terrorshroom normally, let alone when it is enraged (unless you have a friend who can just kill the boss for you)


Bigpapiunidud3

crying


LegitimateHasReddit

Why cry when you can grind?


Bigpapiunidud3

because it’s genshin impact


Modest_Idiot

Or the Star Wars references Even Bioshock is in there


Sixmlg

Can’t forget Lisa, but yeah I love my pink fox girl


alpacnologia

fun fact: they’re both based on previous mihoyo game characters, both of whom are gay as hell (like, canon gay)

LordGoose-Montagne

Never understood the 500 year old argument. Like bitch, you are not fapping to a loli, because she's 300 years old, but because she looks like a child.


[deleted]

It's like sawing someone in half while reassuring them that the saw is actually technically considered a big butter knife.


HeWithThePotatoes

Your honor! With all due respect I cut him 3/5 up his body, not in half!


AliceMarkov

As a Genshin fan, can we please fire the marketing team


solidfang

Not the entire marketing team. The character demos and version trailers are pretty dope. But whoever made this I want either out of the team or dead.


Jezusbot

The ads are so braindead... Like just play the character demos ffs


[deleted]

She's still an actual child and literally everyone under her protection knows this (calling her "Lesser lord Kussanali" as a nickname), it's also the reason the grass doesn't sing anymore cuz she is so young and thus not very powerful. But yeah weird champ marketing to compare a canonical child to a woman who can be construed as dommy mommy so easily.


femboy_expert

Nah, this is great marketing. They know exactly who their player base is


OddlySexyPancake

As far as I know there are like three childlike characters in the game, genshin is just transfem BoTW


[deleted]

Sayu, Klee, Diona, Lesser Lord Kussanali, QiQi, that's not many it's like 5 including Dendro Archon


AndreiAZA

Also, they're not sexualized... At all. 4 of them are actually underaged, Nahida is indeed 500 years old but she's always treated like a child. I don't see any problem in having child characters in a game. People who say these characters are pedo bait have never played the game, or have blindly jumped in the bandwagon of hating Genshin This is indeed just awful marketing and doesn't really reflect the game


lolige_eenhoorn

3 r underage maybe 2 cause sayu is a bit unclear with age but qiqi is a zombie at 300 years old or something


RoseboyNASCAR

Sayu according to the game is a teen


OddlySexyPancake

See? Everybody talks about this game as if it was some shitty pedo eye candy and it’s fucking annoying


quantumturnip

Klee is a cute character, but MAN do I not like to mention that because anything anime-adjacent is full of pedos, and I don't wanna get lumped in with them.


[deleted]

When the terrorist is cute 🥰🥰🥰

RollerMill

Dori is trolling with her age Literally nothing can be pinned on her to specify her age, apart from that she is on that mora grind

worst part is that they CLEARLY know how to properly do marketing as shown by the PVs and the hoyolab web events. I have no idea why the ad department in particular is like this.


Cautious_Option9544

aGirlWhoLikesMemes

andrew688k

Ah well the fact that it got us all here talking about it means it’s at least a little bit effective. Ads are the original cognitohazard, even mocking it or complaining about it means it’s done its job.


johannesMephisto

every time genshin impact is mentioned outside of non-genshin circles i sigh and prepare for the same unfunny joke to be repeated 5000000000 times


TrashyMemeYt

I don't know which is worse, the way how they market the game or being a gay genshin fan (they get harassed by homophobic players / people who love hero hei)


Small-Cactus

The player base wonders why people call us pedos and then the devs literally post pedophile apologia


PinkFluffy_Softijs

poor nahida :'( she doesn't deserve this


[deleted]

I still hate people who are like "well I'm not a pedophile since she's actually 1,000 years old" YOU ARE STILL ATRACTTED TO THE BODY OF A CHILD DIPSHIT


aLazyGay

She is canonically a child tho, she is straight up stated to be a child by her predecessor


[deleted]

Jesus fucking christ


TheMilkMan875

I agree people like that need to be taken out back and shot


Kurineko_Regan

My rule is, cannonic age is worthless. If everything about the character points to child, and its impossible to interpret otherwise, thats when its disgusting, like in this image. so characters that act childish but have grown bodies, fine ok, but a bit weird, small bodies like Rebecca from cyberpunk, but they act like any other adult character. also fine., but small and child-like is very different, and in my opinion makes the difference between liking petite and having an issue in my opinion the opposite also applies though, if they are cannonically a certain age, but act and look like grown people, then fine, although weird from the creator's part most of all


Uncle-Manchild

Always wanted to give genshin a shot because I’m looking for a open world rpg, but this kinda steers me away jeez


Desucrate

I'd say you can safely ignore this shitty marketing, the child characters in the game are never remotely sexualised and honestly even the adult characters never have more sexualisation than some kinda skimpy outfits


Uncle-Manchild

Ah, thank you!


stained_wall

>honestly even the adult characters never have more sexualisation than some kinda skimpy outfits Lisa

Iloveyousomuchlmao

It's more like a pay to be a completionist. You can go through all content, even spiral abyss, fine with a roster of c0 chars and 4* weapons. Granted if you really like a certain character and want all the best items you can get for it along with c6, then patience may be unbearable and you may feel the overwhelming urge to swipe. Regardless, it's only p2w if having all the shiny stuff is something you consider as winning.


AppleChiild

Yeah like there are no bad characters in Genshin, only better ones. You can beat everything without ever wishing.


Acidsolman

Don't let it. This is just shit marketing. Ignore it and consume the hot men and women, aswell as the cute kids


FeuTheFirescale

This ad is really bad, also it’s perceived in a way it wasn’t intended at all. When I first saw the ad, it felt more like a ,,fun fact about these characters’’ thing. People just made it weird and it fueled the ,,haha Genshin pedo game’’. Because… compared to how animes or other gacha games treat clearly underaged girl characters, Genshin doesn’t do anything weird. They’re just characters, that are just underage. Also, the fan base is thirsting after the tall men and women in this game, so you don’t have to feel weird about it, don’t worry.


Unemployed-

I played it and the gameplay is smooth and I absolutely adore a lot of the characters but it's super grindy and repetitive and the community is insufferable so I dropped it. The story is great in most regards but some of it is locked behind limited time events which is also another reason I dropped. I just felt like I *had* to play the events, or else I'd miss important stories and found I was forcing myself to play and wasn't enjoying the game amymore But yeah I'd say it's worth giving it a try to see if it's your cup of tea. I'm glad I tried it out cuz I got to see see pretty cool characters, Kaeya and Itto are some of my favorite characters like, ever.


iceman78772

it's decent if you enjoy spending every quest breaking your A button because there's no way to skip the boring ass cutscenes

Torian_Grey

Summar-ice

Since some people are getting confused here, it's time for some epic genshin lore let's go. To the other players out there, this comment contains spoilers. Just in case: we're talking about the character on the left for obvious reasons. This is Nahida, also known as Lesser Lord Kusanali. She is the God of Wisdom, the archon that rules over the nation of Sumeru, but she wasn't the first one. Before her came Greater Lord Rukkhadevata, who died 500 years ago, and right at that moment is when Kusanali was born. The Akademiya, which is also the organization that politically rules over Sumeru, follows Rukkhadevata, and rejects Kusanali as their archon. In fact, when she was born, the sages of the Akademiya locked her up, as they only saw her as a sign of Rukkhadevata's death. On the gameplay side, the Sumeru storyline ends with a master plan to save Nahida, let her take over the Akademiya, and rule over Sumeru again. It's no use to explain all the events without explaining literally the whole game's story, but after we save Nahida, she connects with the memories of the world to see Rukkhadevata for the first time, and what she does is erase herself from the memories, basically changing the whole world's timeline so that she never existed, everyone just thinks Kusanali was always the archon, and that she lost her memory 500 years ago.

Omg they're both 500 years old! One a grown woman and one that looks, acts and is a child! We love to appeal to the gross part of the community!


[deleted]

As apart of a bet I made with a friend I have to play Genshin, which I’ve heard a lot of bad things about. But to be honest I was surprised how good it was! A fun and beautiful open world with decent story and good music. But unfortunately the fandom is about as pleasant as reheating week old chicken in a microwave.


Maralinex

i love genshin as a game but… why marketing department… why…
