More photos from Patch Cafe this time, featuring Master Diluc! (⁠｡⁠•̀⁠ᴗ⁠-⁠)⁠✧ I was a bit shy when I was taking a photo of myself so apologies if it's blurry! (⁠ ⁠；⁠∀⁠；⁠)

Stayed there and waited for the rain to stop that time!

So around a year (ish) ago, I realised the Chinese name of Genshin basically tells you the main plot

Idk if anyone else made the connection but I'm still gonna post it here bc it took me a year into playing Genshin that I connected the dots

Spoilers ahead if you still haven't finished the Sumeru arc!

So the Chinese name for Genshin is 原神 (yuánshén). To break the name down, 原 means origin or originally depending on context and 神 means god (Obvious enough. Even if you can't read and understand Chinese you would've at least seen it in JP as its Kanji for god). Translating the name of the game, it means God's/Gods' origins.

This is further supported through one, traveler's journey across Teyvat to find out about Celestia and two, the bits of pieces of lore in Enkanomiya through the Sun children and the book "Before the Sun and Moon" as well as Khaenri'ah (though Khaenri'ah to a lesser extent) talking about the cataclysm and the archon war to some degree. Even further evident at the end of the Sumeru arc when Nahida reveals that Traveler is the 4th Descender but not their sibling which will lead to more answers further down the line

Genshin Impact as an Example of Popular Culture

by Annisa Nur Ratri Oktavianti

Genshin Impact is a fantasy open-world environment and action based combat system using elemental magic, character switching, and gacha monetization system for players to obtain new characters, weapon and other resources. The game can only be played online and features a limited multiplayer mode allowing up to four players in a world.

Genshin Impact had overtook Minecraft as the largest Discord server on the platform. In 2020, its server reached 733,911 members.

As a high profile game, Genshin Impact has an immense opportunity to expose its players to different cultures and their intricacies. For example, Chinese culture is potrayed by Liyue (one of the nations in the game) and Liyue characters.

According to a survey article posted on Hoyolab, the average time players spent in a day to play Genshin Impact is one until two hours.

In 2020, Genshin Impact alone had generated $140 million in sales from mobile devices since its launch in late September 2020 according to Sensor Tower data. Its biggest market is Japan, then China.

OH interesting. It’s true that the same phonemes are used but there’s a difference in tones (in Mandarin). Both hanzi characters in Yuánshén (原神) uses the second (rising) tone while the ones in Shēnyuān (深渊) uses the first (flat) tone.

It’s still a really cool detail though.

Líyuè (璃月)’s name though meaning Jade Moon or Glazed Moon does a similar thing where it sounds the same as líyuè (离月) which could mean month of departure (perhaps alluding to the the Rite of Descension?) OR leaving the moon, perhaps the Lunar Palace (月宫), where gods reside in Chinese mythology. Probably referring to Celestia in-universe and how Zhongli steps down from being the Geo Archon… (more etymology and near homophones on the English wiki page)

But nonetheless the Yuánshén and Shēnyuān connection is quite nice

From reddit:

Fun fact: if you flip Genshin Impact's Chinese name "Yuan Shen" (原神) which means "Original/Primordial God", you get "Shen Yuan", which means "Abyss"(深渊).

I don't know anything about Genshin Impact but whenever I saw these ears on this boy... I became feral. Might become apart of the Genshin Impact fandom solely because of Tighnari.

If I were him, I'd be proud of my big ole ears so I tried expressing that of course =ÚwÙ=

Don’t worry. Even if the day comes for us to go our separate ways, I am certain we will meet again, in some corner of the world.
