Japan's most-liked comment about Genshin Impact

I always pictured the ladies' tea parties as prim, proper, everyone-seated-at-the-table affairs — but they also do the no-etiquette, pajamas-on, capital-G Girls' Night version? They're way too close...

女子組のお茶会って毎回嗜みを整えてテーブルについておこなってると思ってたけど、寝巻き姿で作法なんてないThe女子会もしてるの仲良すぎるだろ...

It's just that Mondstadt and Liyue are rock-solid; basically every other place is half-collapsed. If anything those two are the weird ones.

モンド璃月が磐石すぎるだけでだいたい滅びかけてる むしろこの二つがおかしい

@CB-baseball-like · 136 likesGenshin Impact Snezhnaya: Can the Tsaritsa Really Beat Celestia? — What Japan Thinks

  • It's just that Mondstadt and Liyue are rock-solid; basically every other place is half-collapsed. If anything those two are the weird ones.

    モンド璃月が磐石すぎるだけでだいたい滅びかけてる むしろこの二つがおかしい

  • At the tea party the dynamic is basically — Sandrone: the do-her-own-thing eldest daughter; Columbina: the little sister who wants big sis's attention; Rosalyne: the mischievous mom; Arlecchino: the dad watching over it all calmly. I love it way too much. (…)

    お茶会の時に サンドローネ:マイペースな長女 コロンビーナ:姉に構って欲しがる妹 ロザリン:いたずら好きな母 アルレッキーノ:穏やかに見守る父 みたいな構図なの好きすぎる(…)

  • Natlan's Archon Quest was pretty merciless, so I can't help feeling Snezhnaya's Archon Quest is gonna be brutal too — and it hasn't even started.

    ナタの魔神任務がかなり人の心無かったし、スネージナヤの魔神任務もけっこう残酷なものになると、始まってもないのに思ってしまう

  • 5:13 Rosalyne… she can smile this calmly, this gently, and yet soon after she meets the god she has a personal grudge against and falls in Inazuma… you'd never see it coming, would you… 😭😭

    5:13 ロザリン……こんなに穏やかで優しい笑顔を浮かべられるのに、この後、私怨のある神に会って、稲妻で散ることになるなんて……思わないじゃない……😭😭

  • Factor in that the real Russian Empire had a revolution where the whole royal family was killed (and Tsar Nicholas's youngest daughter was named Anastasia), and there's gonna be a big body count like the Abyss frontline in Natlan. They won't off a playable character outright, sure (that'd hit gacha revenue), but HoYo treats NPCs as fair game for anything (see Rosalyne and the "Puppet").

    史実のロシア帝国も革命が起こって王族全員皆56しになってる(しかもその時の皇帝ニコライの末娘の名前がアナスタシア)って背景を含めるとナタでのアビス戦線やらよろしく大量に4人出そうではある 流石にプレイアブルキャラまでは明確な退場者は出ないだろうが(出したらそれこそガチャの売上に関わる)、NPC枠なら何してもいいってところあるからなホヨバは(ロザリンや「傀儡」が具体例)

  • 1:59 — even Sandrone, the so-called tsundere, is all melted softness around Alain. I'm tearing up.

    1:59 ツンデレと言われるサンドローネも、アランに対してはデレデレで泣ける

  • They're probably gonna have to pay the bill for everything the Fatui have been doing to every other nation, too.

    ファデュイがこれまで各国にやってた事のツケも払う事になりそう

  • This woman called Rosalyne is THIS adorable in front of Sandrone and the others — and then dies in the main story without ever showing us a single millimeter of that cuteness.

    サンドローネ達の前だとこんなにかわいいのに、その可愛さを本編で1ミリも見せることなくタヒんだロザリンとかいう女

  • Her Majesty the Tsaritsa is gonna get mobbed by the people and the fairies and killed in a revolution. And then some horrifying entity she'd barely been holding back manifests (…) And so, peace returned to Snezhnaya. New quest available at a later date. Please enjoy the intermission. (…) Forgive us… forgive us… forgive us our sins…

    女皇陛下、民衆と妖精に寄ってたかって革命で殺されそう。そんで女皇がギリギリ抑えてたやばい存在が顕現とかしそう(…)こうしてスネージナヤは平和になりました。 新たなクエストは後日配信。 暫くご歓談をお楽しみ下さい。(…)許されよ…許されよ…我らの罪を許されよ…

  • So THIS is what Columbina just singing in front of the door looks like. So cute…………………………

    コロンビーナがドアの前で歌ってたのこんな感じなんだ可愛い…………………………

  • Come to think of it, we're finally (probably) about to learn what Zhongli's "contract to end all contracts" from the very, very start of the story actually meant…… It's been long…… really, really long……

    そういえば、もうすぐ物語の序盤も序盤に語られた鍾離先生の「全ての契約を終わりにする契約」の意味がようやく(多分きっと)わかるのか…… 長かった……本当に長かったな……

  • Sudden new lore: "Father" (Arlecchino) with her guard ALL the way down, at a Harbinger girls' night (pajama party edition).

    お父様が気を抜きまくっている 執行官女子会(パジャマパーティー)という突然の情報

  • Every single nation on this planet is on the brink of ruin lol

    この星の国、どこも滅びそうになってんな

  • Arlecchino: "Rosalyne will be touring Mondstadt and Inazuma from here on." Me: don't you DARE — just stay there and have your precious little tea party forever.

    アルレッキーノ「ロザリンはこれから、モンドと稲妻を回る」 ワイ「回んな、そこで一生てぇてぇお茶会してろ」

  • Up to now it's always been a nation the Fatui were reaching their claws into, but this time it's finally the Fatui's own country.

    これまでファデュイの魔の手が伸びる国だけど今回はいよいよファデュイの国だからな

  • Sandrone is, like, ten times clingier with Alain than I ever imagined. Adorable.

    想像の10倍くらいアランにベッタリなサンドローネかわいい

  • Reading the vibe, there's a real chance the Tsaritsa secretly thinks "can I actually beat Celestia? Probably not" but she's already too far in to back out, and the moment she shows any weakness she gets thrown away. Furina stayed loved after everything, but the Tsaritsa might just fall from grace.

    この感じだと女皇は天理に勝つの無理じゃね?とか内心思ってても今更引けない状態の可能性で弱味とか見せたらその瞬間に捨てられるフラグがありそう フリーナはあの後も慕われてたけど女皇は落ちぶれる可能性

  • I figured Rosalyne would be the prickly type even at a girls' night, but she's the big-sister of the group and I cried. "I brought sweets," "Is there anything you all want to do?" — she's just too thoughtful of an older sister.

    ロザリン、女子会でもツンツンタイプかと思ってたけどみんなのお姉さん的存在で泣いた 「お菓子を持ってきたわ」とか「何かやりたいことはないの?」とか気の使えるお姉さんすぎる

  • Honestly the nations with an old god who's been doing the job forever (looking at you, bard) and the one with no Mora actually feel rock solid. They've got competent human leadership too, so there's a sense of security.

    なんか昔っから神様やってる吟遊野郎とモラ無しの国って土台がしっかりしてるし、優秀な人間の指導者がいるから安心感ある

  • The Fair Lady really must have been incredibly gentle to the people she loved after all — her colleagues, a lover, the ones who mattered to her.

    淑女はやっぱり同僚だったり恋人だったり、好きな人には凄く優しかったんだろうな

Editor's note

Japanese players' Snezhnaya reactions run more skeptical than hyped — the standing question is whether the Tsaritsa can even beat Celestia, or is simply in too deep to back out. Then “The Final Gift” dropped, and the same posters cried over a Harbinger they never saw animated until after she was gone.
