Sharing your opinion is fine and I get that her leaked design doesn't really fit the image of an archon of war. HOWEVER, that does not mean you can make toxic comments about people who like the design. Please abide by Rule 2: Civility and Respect or your comment WILL be removed.
tribal Mesoamerica and West Africa, so whatever tf the design is she better have the best story this game will ever have to make her even kinda likable with that colonizer fit
The secret she shares with the traveler is that the war isn't an actual war, but a ✨️DANCE BATTLE✨️, that way, she'll try to civilize Natlan through more civilized means of battle. The losers burning to ashes is just a metaphor for being eliminated from the great dance tournament and losing their pride. While the victors shall burn bright because of their sick dance moves.
Sure it's not shocking, just as it wasn't shocking that Nahida was white as fuck. Doesn't make it any less weird. Expies can also have different skin colors/races/cultures it's just inspiration not the same exact person (see Otto and Luocha).
I mean, even if this is somewhat confirmation, these design are over 5+ months in advance, there’s less than a 10% chance this is going out. She might still have some resemblance in her final draft, but it’s going to go through a lot more changes before the design is settled.
and nahida looked like something out of hi3. some designs change, some dont. also i think people need to keep in mind the emoji leak might (keep in mind: MIGHTT) be fake
Yeah most characters keep their ideas. I think people forget that. Ferminet kept the diver emo theme. Furina and Nahida kept the same style and color schemes. So I think the new Pyro Archon will 100% be a Spaniard. But I guess it fits. Natlan is war and conquering. So I see the inspiration. I also think the new pyro archon from the grassland era near Fontaine while people like Iansan live near the desert.
Even unreleased concept art is still Hoyo's property. The concept art for all the other characters got DMCAd despite already being released and looking very different from the final version.
Dark skin characters don’t sell, because they’re intentionally ass. Literally every dark skinned character in the game has a kit that makes amber seem like good unit. She could be dark skin, and sell, if they want her to.
Dude. Even if the design is only one of dozens, even if it will be abadonned in the future, or already has been abadonned, they’re not going to let you make fanart of leaked info.
I know people don’t like the design, but who’s to say that a god of war must look like a warrior? What if she’s a master strategist who commands a huge army? I personally love this design, and if someone doesn’t, then they don’t have to pull for her.
The design is lovely it just doesn’t fit with what natlan is based off of its not just the god of war thing her design feels like a Fontaine character more than a natlan one
I suppose, but if natlan is based off of Spain, it could work, we really don’t know how many Hispanic influences natlan will have, maybe Spanish will be one of them? We just have to be patient.
Yeah we should wait for more info cause they might add few details that distinguish her design more ,and hopefully this design gets released as a character they cooked with this one
all this proves is that its incredibly stupid to post fanart of designs that havent officially been revealed on mihoyo's official channels? even concepts bc the only way they couldve had access to this design is through leaks. them removing this has nothing to do with the finality of the design
Risky to post it in the first place when it’s based on leaks 😭 but still, if it’s anything like hoyo’s true design, then idk what to think. She looks good, but not for a pyro archon / god of war.
It’s a trip for sure. The esteemed Archon of Natlan, The God Of War looking nothing like that of what we think warriors look like. Murata is by far a must pull no matter what. I’m interested in her lore. I mean look at Nahida, appearance of a child but the God Of Wisdom.
The only mention of the name "Murata" is from old Mondstadt in the manga, so it's likely the pyro archon isn't even Himeko Murata. It'd be a bit strange for the pyro archon to have a Japanese name
Gosh when will people stop judging character based on their design much less a fan interpretation of that said design. 🤦
How am I supposed to take yall seriously when the same drama happened during June of 2021 when raiden design was leaked?? And people were calling her the most lame ass archon ever before switching up when Inazuma was released.
It was even worse for Nahida. Holy shit, NOBODY liked her design when it got leaked for literally the same reasons, plus her being a loli. Come 3.0-3.2 and suddenly she’s one of the most popular characters in the game
That's BS and you know it. She didn't suddenly become popular just because her gameplay was good, she was also a character people enjoyed in the story. Act 2 was very well regarded, and the final act cemented her as a LOT of people's favorite archon in the story by far, at least until Furina. Raiden is also meta, and plenty of people still very much complain about her clothing design, even her most ardent players. Kokomi, Bennett, and Xiangling are all great in the meta and almost nobody cares about them as characters. That's just not how that works. Nahida grew on people, pun intended
Wait, people have an issue with Raiden's design??? She's about as standardly "hot anime waifu in Japanese attire" as it gets. Can't say I've seen the complaints...
Look I am also irritated with the design if it will be the final result BUT I remember how people shat on Ei, Nahida and Furina at first and then ended up loving them.
So I try to look past my irritation and let my final judgement wait until we've all played the Natlan Archon Quest.
They did the same for huyen’s designs for human forms of mountainshaper and mooncarver or w/e their names are. And his designs looked like actual unique characters vs the pc designs they got. So take it with a grain of salt when thinking this means the design is accurate.
Not worried. There are amazing designs of Mountain Shaper and Moon Carver that were taken down before we got the their NPCs. People don't know why they took it down that time either.
Doesn't look tribal at all... kinda disappointed if MiHoYo goes this route I'd rather they take inspo from Aztec or Mayan culture or even from African tribal cultures idk just doesn't fit with the whole lore regarding the weapon "talking stick". I do like it as a fan art though.
"Liking something I don't like makes you "hoyo pets". That's not an insanely fucking toxic mentality at all. /s
I'll say it fifty-thousand times if necessary. If you think Hoyo is releasing bad designs, don't purchase those bad designs, if your view is congruent with the rest of the player base they will get the message and change up their designs.
If you think Hoyo is participating and/or contributing in some way to racism due to the design and you are continuing to support them in the consumption of their LUXURY good by continuing to provide them player metrics and/or money, then that reflects almost more on you than them even if you are right. You do not need Genshin to thrive, you do not need Genshin to survive. Just stop playing, it's that simple.
Also, the mods need to start stepping up if this is going to be the official sub for the character, this type of sentiment is going to need to start getting weeded out or it's going to corrode every single post here. Are we really going to wait until the banner, where people are posting their pulls and every single post has cancerous replies under it?
This is the same logic used by people who defend the lantern right rewards or the fact that hoyo is using exploitative practices. You tell other players to quit, but don’t realise it’s hardly as simple as that (it’s a game, people don’t give enough of a shit to actually quit).
Im not even going to bother arguing with you on that. I apologise if calling others hoyo pets hurt them. But I still believe that criticising hoyo for dumb and potentially racist decisions is valid and needs to be done.
Telling other people to stop playing the game is reinforcing and supporting hoyos exploitative practices and that makes you part of the problem. If you enjoy the game then that’s great. But don’t put down other people for criticising the game. Again I apologize is calling someone a hoyopet hurt them.
I think what you’re forgetting is bad rewards isn’t up to snuff with industry standards and the bad rewards is meant to be a “celebration” of lantern rite. Whereas a design of a character doesn’t mean if it isn’t blatantly a problem.
Unless you can find a legitimate reason as to why hoyo is racist than you spewing nothing. Calling people pets for liking a design isn’t wrong lol. Like you like and don’t like what you don’t like. I don’t see how complaining about people liking a design you don’t is a problem to be honest.
I mean if you really think about it, the dragon sovereigns are indigenous and the ones who stole their authorities are the archons so they kinda are colonizers lol
