More like we havent gotten our 5 star traveler weapon yet

​@ringmake7558 yeah but in headcannon in the box art for 7.0 he is using prototype crescent bc kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qa-gqcxpraqtc6s.htmlsi=EaYFRPinDgeDYWvV

@@kevingame3198 I mean our og weapon

@ringmake7558 yeah but cover art 7.0 shows aether with prototype bow and dull blade on his back but still has his anemo element since mondstadt

Imagine the dull blade turns out to be his weapon in disguise like saber Excalibur who is invisible in fate stay night unlimited blade works

He by her self said sae his trash in hes voice lines

Fr, exactly my thoughts... he acts and fights like he was born in Teyvat and weren't a interplanetary being

hoyo actually knows how to execute a good story. but as long as they can sell low-quality trash with a minimal budget to fans and make big profits, why wouldn't they, right?

Neuvillette defeated the whale. The Traveler was just a glorified cheerleader. The Traveler just isn't as strong as y'all think you are. Even his most "legit" wins are against a Signora very much out of her prime and Childe, who completely surpassed them in Fontaine.

​@@beng4ll967it was both, the neuvillete attacked from the outside while the traveler attacked from the inside. In fact, the role of the neuvillete was to remove the water from the primordial sea from the devouring whale, according to the dialogues of the fight. and the one who really knocked out the whale was the traveler who went inside it with that objective.

she literally mocked us with NO effort. she just showed her powers to us (the moon) and didn't even bother. come on like we beated the tartaglia. (narval was helped by Neuvilette so it doesn't counts)

@@emranao if childe used only the delusion he would've deated the traveler, but he got pissed out and used foul legacy, and because it was a recent ability of his at the time his body couldn't handle it. Once again, if childe sticked to using only the delusion he would've beaten us, he was literally troving us around in the cutscenes, and the Geo ability traveler used on him, wich even caught him off guard still literally did nothing to him, he just tanked it with no damage

@@memesmaster-kc2mbthe fuck you mean “it was a recent ability at the time” childe has had foul legacy since he fell into the abyss when he was young

Talk about not having patience 😂

@@spymadmax584You’re just easy to please.

​@@spymadmax584 Patience for wanting to see some cool things that made total sense which was shown 3 years ago and then no more because the writers smoked cracks from all the surplus money the game made them? Or patience to wait and see when will the writers pull them sticks outta their asses and stop using the plot device that is "the Traveler fainted" for the 10th time? You could land yourself into a popular circus somewhere with that joke of yours.

@@spymadmax584 this comment above me seems like he/she didnt really enjoy the game, but forcing themselves to play anyway lmao I can only see anger, salty, dissatisfaction from playing this game prob just a seasonal fomo players, or genshin karen 😂😂

Fr the game has started to get boring. Tbh what is even the point of all that deep lore when its hidden along with the mc's voice?

Its made of vibranium

It's just dull, not fragile

Dull just means it can't cut easily. It's not necessarily weak in durability

I saw another person comment that the traveler using the elements was something that happened during the actual boss battle itself. The cutscene we saw was just the end of the fight, where the traveler was probably too exhausted to use anymore elements, and I agree. People act like the cutscene was the whole fight, when it’s just one part of it. This is still a video game, most of the actual battle stuff is stuff you do yourself, while the cutscenes just show the aftermath.

@@ezrasolis4195 Sure, the cutscene wasn't the whole fight but do not, for a second, tell me that the way they lost wasn't shameful to you. We've seen the Traveler being exhausted many times before but they've always fought to the bitter end. If they're gonna make them lose at least let them lose with their dignity in tact. It doesn't matter what you're gonna say, the Travelers are going to be treated as a joke until the next major story quest. If they do this again, may god have mercy on Lumine's soul~

@@MiyashiruX I feel like people are overreacting about this whole thing. There’ve been people complaining about the Traveler winning all the time, now that actually happens and people hate it. No one’s ever satisfied. In media it’s always losses like this that open the room for the characters to make huge improvements and developments, which is what I expect to see in Natlan.

​@ezrasolis4195 It is the way that he lost that we are complaining about Mf has 5 elements and didn't use any of them and all he could do was freeing himself and stand in front of arlecchino then get defeated

@@ezrasolis4195 Are these people complaining about "traveler always winning" in the room with us rn?

They have to be shafted to make other characters look cool.

Yeah I'm sure if we wait around... let's say 10 more years I'm sure we gotta get something good at that point... probably

Unfortunely it's not, it's an story quest so it's not obligatory to do, so it's not canon in the archon quests

cya in a few thousand years blud

For the next chasm quest in a few days

@@memesmaster-kc2mb wait till tomorrow or Wednesday for the next Chasm quest

I DON'T DISAGREE but that weapon was only Available early on so new people wouldn't really understand where it came from

And plus, it's Arlecchino drip marketing so they want to show how strong and how hot she is compared to MC.

we should expect logic to logic, even in less important scenes

they just want to advertise their waifus sheesh 😒

​@@huhtao fax they just want horny simps marketing it the game is just.....

What are you yapping about. There isnt even any signs of damage due to the elements on the battlefield by aether

finally some real observation with actual brain

ppl always complain about every tiny lil detail mygod

we also didnt use elemental power during scaramouche fight, imagine hoyo had to explain, like every details that happened during the entire boss fight this is why paimon keeps repeating their dialogues like hundred times, bcs of this kind of audience dayum

lazy writing

That's not the problem. Cutscenes are made to show what we were capable of that the gameplay often limits us from. Using them all, as you claim, offscreen defeats the purpose of the cutscene~ The Traveler losing like that heavily implies they never tried using anything, their movements were amateurish and their focus easily broken. You can see the fear in their eyes that they have learned NOTHING in the years they've traveled. You cannot deny the fact that the way they lost discards any, if not all, development they've had thus far. We're lucky this wasn't mainline or archon quest, the shame would've been much worse.

true, this is why paimon keeps repeating the dialogues, like hundred times, bcs ppl cant even read the hint every tiny lil details had to explained on-screen bruh

@@MiyashiruX But it doesn't though. By now, we have a good understanding as to how Traveler fights. In this case, what would showing the whole fight do for storytelling? It isn't the Scara fight or the Childe fight, where having the elements in play is actually useful or advances the story. If anything, I suppose using the elements on Arlecchino and showing that they do nothing could help drive that sense of "Oh crap", but we also saw her stop a broadsword with one hand and Lyney's elemental use of pyro didn't even do anything. There's enough "Oh crap, what the heck do we do?!" I think, by that point. On the outset, it's made clear that this is not a fair fight. There's no use in pretending that it is. Traveler knows that they're outmatched but they've also sussed out the reason why Arlecchino is agreeing to the duel before it even starts. And Arlecchino made it clear: fight with everything that you've got. With the kids' lives on the line, there's no reason to assume that Traveler wouldn't do exactly that. Why do we need to see Traveler use everything? Why would we assume that they would think this is a great time to *not* use elements? Why does it need to be spoonfed to the audience? Does the developer really believe that the audience would think that Traveler wouldn't take it seriously and do exactly as Arlecchino demands? Knowing what we know of the Knave, would she respect the Traveler's strength if they didn't use everything at their disposal or worse, dared to hold back when the lives of their friends are on the line? Something that they've never done and are known to not do? Besides, where would such a moment fit in, from a story boarding perspective? Throughout the game, element usage between characters has always been used to denote the characters that are most important to the narrative surrounding the fight. As it stands, this fight is framed as between Lyney's will vs Arlecchino's, with Traveler and Lyney's siblings acting as support. IIRC, neither Freminet nor Lynette use their elements, either. The only ones using element of any sort are Lyney and Arlecchino. Traveler is not the important one in these cutscenes, just as they're an observer to the narrative as it plays out within the HotH. Other examples: The Signora cutscene, for example, the only one that uses their element is Raiden. Traveler is the catalyst for Signora's death, but the narrative isn't about Traveler, it's about The Shogun taking back control of her nation by killing Signora. The usage of Electro is used to denote who has power in this cutscene, the one that is most important within it. With the Scara fight, only Scaramouche and Nahida use elements, Traveler is, again, a catalyst, but the narrative isn't about them. It's about Nahida and Scaramouche and their fight. Conversely, the Childe fight is about Traveler and Childe, narrative-wise, so they get to use element. When Traveler uses geo to redirect the boulders, it's made clear that Traveler is the only one standing between that rock and the people in Poisson. We see it clearly in the Traveler's fight with Ei, as well, when the elements of the people are brought in to assist in changing Ei's mind. Traveler uses Electro to rush to rescue Thoma after Shogun uses electro to take Thoma's vision. Thoma is relegated to observer while Traveler and Shogun become the main focus of the scene. Following this is the casual use of electro by Shogun to walk down to Traveler's sceneic level, which reinforces the power dynamic, even though she's voluntarily given up the traditional "high position" that denotes power dynamics. Yes, she got on his level but they are still not treated as equals in the scene. From what I can recall, element is NEVER used as "just a tool" for those involved. It's been the flavoring used to show the audience "These are the big players of the scene, look at this power clash!" It also helps with keeping Teyvat and its inhabitants feeling cohesive. It's not a land that Traveler just got iseka'd to and has turned into their playground. It has its own people with their own lives and conflicts that Traveler gets to watch and experience. Have they helped? Yes. Are they a hero? Yes. But there are just some conflicts that an outsider to the world should not have control over. Using elements, a power that is ultimately foreign to the Traveler, as a vehicle to show this is brilliant and consistent storytelling.

Indeed

The quest definitely wasn’t slop, but this confrontation did not help Aether
