notice how their color palettes make sense with their environment and personality and their designs signal things about their characters without over-relying on tropes or a singular gimmick and they actually look like they belong in genshin impact

07.01.2025 19:53 โ ๐ 6 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0also genshin should've had xilonen confront mavuika before she sacrificed herself. this isn't even a ship thing but it'd make sense cuz (1) xilonen seems to be the closest to mavuika, (2) the lord of the night also told her abt mavuika's death, and (3) it would kinda fit with the wedding voiceline
06.01.2025 20:48 โ ๐ 18 ๐ 2 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0yeah which makes sense, but i think if they showed some more of WHAT she was actually sacrificing and the difficulties and solitude that comes with being a leader the story would've been stronger
