Genshin Impact Discussion Thread

That's not really questionable or even wrong.

One alleged error does not invalidate an entire source, So no, the hymns are not "questionable" just because one character or one part is debated.

This is like "I don’t like where this comes from, so it must be unreliable." which is ridiculous.

No? Again, that context about Nibelung isn't about he wants to marry any woman.
Prove it.

That is exactly how that works. Sahl if you published a book and it had an inaccuracy, anyone reading it would take everything else with a grain of salt.

Don’t put words in my mouth. That reads like ‘I can’t counter your argument so I’ll strawman’

Sahl that is literally what the book says. If you say this is just flowery language then that can be applied to several sections of the book and still supports my point that you shouldn’t take the book as a 100% correct source because several things about it are just metaphorical and flowery language so they may not be saying what the book says.
 
Prove it.
I'm sure you've watched my debate in that Low 2-C downgrade? If you read all the stuff, you must know that i already explained it. Even one moderator know how it works.

Except the rest are accurate, like you can't even prove anything else that's wrong outside of that Nibelung one.

This text is also what the book literally says. Does this mean literally? No, this is just a metaphorical words to described things.
A mortal views time as an eternal river of blood. No matter how the crimson torrent rushes along its fixed paths, no matter how it branches and diverges
 
This not going anywhere bruh, i will leave all that shit

@Puppet43 can i have your teyvat planet pixel scalling? It seem can be use for lifting strength calc. I forgot where it mention but zhongli once ever drag Azhdaha's massive body
 
I could create Anya's profile rn with Plot Manipulation as her main Ability ngl. Alice might have it too considering the "ink" that Anya used to write the plot is Alice's magic. But her rating would be just Unknown lol.
 
@Puppet43 can i have your teyvat planet pixel scalling?
Its outdated, they gonna show Teyvat planet in the new quest apparently

That would be the most unnecessary profile in existence, like she only wrote Durin existence, has no feats at all
.
Btw guess who is coming in next patch and who their firing in sony :D
 
But if it were her, how would she have reached that dimension? That place seems to be a pocket dimension between Teyvat and the false sky. At least, that's what I gathered from the trailer.

Well, idk, maybe she just can. I mean we already have many archons that can enter pocket dimensions with their own ways.
 
Their age
  1. Traveler = 500 years (Teyvat age)
  2. Columbina = 500 years
  3. Sandrone = 400-500 years
  4. Wanderer = 400+ years
  5. Varka = 30+ years (speculated)
  6. Arlecchino = 26-27
  7. Paimon = ???

I already know all that stuff, why are u even brought those things.
Just trying to telling u that those things mentioned in Hymns are also mentioned in actually trusthy media
Naberius creating Egeria was never a common knowledge in the world, nor even about Phanes is genderless or Nibelung created the moons or how Saarelainen carved into 7 pieces by Phanes. those informations aren't a common knowledge that everybody knows, only people who really aware of the world knows that and if they told by the Angels.
Yet none of this info involves getting a High Degree of Quantuum Physics to know, unlike asserting 100% with confidence that a Shade is the embodiment of a metaphysical concept
Hymns of the far norths is book from hyperboreans not hiisi island bruh😭
Where do u find Hymns of the North in the open world?
We should nuke before sun and moon reliability cause it's written with accurate history and order that their ownself never seen by nigh-omniscient author.
I think u still dont get why i consider Hymns of the north a books with flaws and innacurate
You know well that genshin is always used flowery words
So Nibelung wanting to smash is consider flowery language but calling a Shade the incarnation of Time aint?
The Pyro Archons and Och-Kan lived with the people yet their history is distorted.
I renember finding a book in Natlan saying that Kukulkan slayed the Pyro Sovereing....
 
Just trying to telling u that those things mentioned in Hymns are also mentioned in actually trusthy media
The difference is the one in the hymns ARE NOT from the narrator but the people of Teyvat. Those informations are not common knowledge in the world that everybody know.

Yes it is. Tell me a people outside of people from Unified Civilizations that knows these informations like Naberius created Egeria, Phanes is Genderless, how Saarelainen carved into Seven pieces and so on.

Embodiment means ontological identity, not scientific mechanism. You are not claiming "Istaroth obeys quantum field theory", you are claiming Time exists as a conscious principle, which is exactly how gods and Shades are framed in Genshin’s metaphysics.

You dont need physics to know what a god is in a mythological universe. You need to read how reality itself is defined there, and in Teyvat, fundamental concepts exist as conscious beings which is the Shades themselves.
So Nibelung wanting to smash is consider flowery language but calling a Shade the incarnation of Time aint?
It aint, because that's essentially the essence of time is. You just don't understand how it works.

What kinda normal people that is claim to be "never born yet gave birth to themself at the moment of their birth" ?
This sentence is work if the being is Time itself btw, and can be explain as paradoxical creation outside of time, since she's time itself, her birth must necessarily outside of it.

At the end of the day, no matter how much you are trying to be denial, Istaroth will always and forever be the Embodiment of Time itself and the game have always treated her attributes to be like that, and nobody can deny that.

I'll leave this anyway, i'll always used Hymns of the Far North.

The Nibelung were considered destroyers, that's what the Nibelungs were called after he came from the abyss.
Before the coming of the final extinction, no victor in the struggle of good and evil could be worse than the doom of falling together into eternal oblivion.
Perhaps their former lord, shrouded in mist, would never find the answer. Or perhaps that answer was already at hand.

As they had hoped, the great ruler of the firmament spurned the destroyer veiled in black mist.
No doubt, through its long voyage across the shadowed realms, it had witnessed countless stars meet their end.
And so, they too chose Order. Or, more accurately, made space to accommodate it.
That was the age when the three moons shared governance with the morning star. That was the age when Eternity was yet Eternity.
Once there was an age when the silver wheels that guided the primal heavens yet remained three.
At that time, the primeval dragon nurtured by the perfumed sea sailed deep into the skies, disappearing into the mists among the stars.

So deep were those dark mists that even the light of a thousand stars could not escape their gravity.
To find the answer before this planet was also consumed, the great dragon embarked upon an arduous quest alone.
He raised three bright moons from the ground and bound this tiny world tightly with the chains of the tides.
Moonlight would illuminate the bountiful land throughout the Long Night of the end, until the dragon returned from the mist-shrouded realm.
Yet, as one thousand years passed into another, the three moon sisters awaited in vain the return of their former lord.
Until the day that the winged Descender arrived, treading upon the morning star...
 
This is why i hate when a new character's material is on the new map

did someone mention 43?
The Nibelung were
the Nibelungs were
Furina i cant take u seriously when u used plural pronouns to reffear to a single entity, make u look like Starfire from the Kid Show (Teen titans go)
a people outside of people from Unified Civilizations that knows these informations like Naberius created Egeria, Phanes is Genderless, how Saarelainen carved into Seven pieces and so on.
Same way Traveler, the Parish, Surtalogi, Neuvi, Rukkha (I think) know, just learn about ur world
Embodiment means ontological identity, not scientific mechanism
Embodiment means that without your existence said concept wouldn't exist, which would make any creature before Shades creations (Nibelung, Sovereings, 13th Sovereings Rulers, Phanes, Vishaps, Moon Goddess) have Infinite speed, but wait, Traveler could fight against a sovereing ruler, that makes anyone who fought Traveler Post Skirk Training also Infinite Speed which would include (Sinners, Durin, Venti, Dvalin, Nefer, Varka, Flins, Pulonia, Dottore, Ineffa, Skirk, Narwhal, Skofnungr, Dain, Lumine, Bakunawa) U DO SEE THE PROBLEM?
You dont need physics to know what a god is in a mythological universe
Them sure, Venti is called as a being born of branches of Time = 4D Venti = Low 2C
What kinda normal people that is claim to be "never born yet gave birth to themself at the moment of their birth" ?
Hey what a cool flowery language
At the end of the day, no matter how much you are trying to be denial, Istaroth will always and forever be the Embodiment of Time itself and the game have always treated her attributes to be like that, and nobody can deny that.
But u sure go ahead to denie that Nibelung wanted to smash even do it is in the same book because it doesnt fit ur narrative, right?
I'll leave this anyway, i'll always used unreliable and inaccurate texts filled with fanciful tales
Yeah we knew
 
Same way Traveler, the Parish, Surtalogi, Neuvi, Rukkha (I think) know, just learn about ur world
Wow,
  • Traveler = Descender, literally traveling the world and trying to know wtf is this world.
  • Pari = literally created after Simurgh merged her Khvarena with the Amrita which is the remains of Egeria.
  • Surtalogi = Literally a sinner and a transcendent being, literally knowledgeable about the world.
  • Neuvi = literal Dragon Sovereign who's mentally is predates Teyvat and basically knows everything.
None of those people are an ordinary people, buddy, what you talk about.
Embodiment means that without your existence said concept wouldn't exist,
That's not necessarily how it works, you can create or become the embodiment of something without predating that something you embodies. Embodiment is merely an avatar of something/concepts.

Think of like the Logia Type Devil Fruit user from One Piece, once they eat their devil fruit, they become the embodiment of it. Like Kizaru is Light itself, Crocodile is Sand itself, and so on.

"Embodiment" does not mean “the concept only exists because you exist.”
embodiment means representing, manifesting, or serving as the living axis of something, not being the metaphysical cause of its existence.

This is what you basically arguing,
"If X is the embodiment of Time, then Time must not have existed before X, but we know Time existed before, so X isn’t the embodiment."
That argument only works if you secretly redefine embodiment as creator, which is not what the word means. You can ask any knowledgeable member in this Wiki what is the definition of Embodiment and is it necessarily have to predates the thing you embodies, the answer will be No, because Embodiment ≠ Creator.

which would make any creature before Shades creations (Nibelung, Sovereings, 13th Sovereings Rulers, Phanes, Vishaps, Moon Goddess) have Infinite speed, but wait, Traveler could fight against a sovereing ruler, that makes anyone who fought Traveler Post Skirk Training also Infinite Speed which would include (Sinners, Durin, Venti, Dvalin, Nefer, Varka, Flins, Pulonia, Dottore, Ineffa, Skirk, Narwhal, Skofnungr, Dain, Lumine, Bakunawa) U DO SEE THE PROBLEM?
???

Them sure, Venti is called as a being born of branches of Time = 4D Venti = Low 2C
Pfftt, yet he's still a 3-D existence, still constrained by Causality. "Branches of Time" describes narrative causality and fate, not dimensional physics.

???: Is this another "trial"?
Paimon: We were just discussing the matter...
???: Do you outlanders need to hold a meeting just to get a single key?
Paimon: Ah, but what if you are some sort of great bandit?
Traveler: Perhaps it would be safer if you remained inside that cage.
Paimon: That's true... What if he starts growing super huge all of a sudden once we let him out, and he tears us to pieces and eats us, all snicker-snack-like?
???: Hey! That's not what a bandit does!
???: Also, what on earth is "snicker-snack"?
Traveler: He might be a werewolf.
Traveler: A snickery-snackery werewolf.
Paimon: Oh no! A werewolf! So scary...
???: Are you two playing me for a fool here?
Paimon: What a fierce werewolf!
Traveler: So ferocious!
???: What are you two, children?
 
???: The key is in that tree, so stop playing around already!
Paimon: Come on, haven't you heard of "mental strength"
????: I just know that it has nothing to do with this cage.
Traveler: And that's where you'd be wrong!
Paimon: First, you need to create an imaginary space.
Paimon: Then focus your attention on the cage around you, and imagine it disappearing... and disappearing...
Traveler: Follow along, if you please...

Traveler: Speak, young man.
???: Talking to you is bad for my mental health.
???: So, starting from now, I'm just not going to speak to either of you.
Paimon: Aw, come on, don't be like that!

Traveler: Did we say something wrong?

Btw all this is from this world quest
