  1. If the jinn were so against slavery why did lilopar free the humans just to allow the jinn children to be enslaved in those machines to do the work for them? makes no sense

  2. when you play Genius Invokation against Azariq, he specifically played two Fatui-related cards. i initially thought this could be foreshadowing, but decided not to look into it much. seems that i was correct though!

  3. Man, Jeht's story is really sad, why cant we take her with us, or send her to Aru village 🙁 I dont think we will be killing her, I think her story will continue but the direction of it can be both tragic and more happy. She is free and reclaimed her name, wont be used anymore and knows now what home should be. On the other hand she will be hated and hunted with only the traveler as her friend and we cant behave like a person and support her because this is a life service gacha… but yea, now hopefully she goes off into a brighter future and become traveler herself, not go into the desert alone… She seriously deserves a happy ending, Babel seriously messed with her head and this was allowed in the first place because we didnt care enough to stop her and provide support the first time she was distraught over loss and her life changed, we seriously should have learned our lesson, hope it wont lead to anything bad down the road…

    as for Liloupar, cant really judge her for something so far in the past we have so little knowledge about, she could be perceived as a monster for sure, but she could also be simply seen as a member of another species that give and take in equal measures, just far more extreme than ours, her love was unconditional and so was her hatred, it reminds me of characters like Rhea from Three Houses, or the dragon race in FF XIV where pain and suffering of loss is a far longer and further reaching than we can imagine or understand because their lifes are essentially never ending and time glows differently, losing family or loved ones, feeling the pain of hundred years past as if it happened yesterday, being left all alone for eternity, something similar happened to her, it doesnt excuse her actions just explains it I guess.

  4. Praying the next updates bring a nice ending for Jeht. Her story is heartbreaking, and killing her off would be wasted potential imo.
    She did say she hoped to meet up with the Traveller again in a lovelier sun, so who knows? Maybe she finds a new home for her and Benben or we bring her to our Teapot? Have a nice heart-to-heart chat?
    I just hope she'll be okay.

  5. Bottled Racism is a fun character, but she's absolutely the worst Mom in the game. Easily bested by Momshroom (despite forgetting her own kids name) and Mom Retainer, best bird milf in Teyvat.

    I didn't much like this questline. It was way too much "nothing is actually happening" and a whole lot of "okay now I need you to remember all these random names and piece together thease weaksauce flashbacks to parse the wannabee Game-of-Thrones plot." I got the gist of it while playing, but it certainly wasn't engaging. And Babels betrayal was just "dumbass gonna dumbass" at its finest.

    I actually haven't been too invested in any of the Sumeru side-content. More archaeologist than adventurer. It's all clues and lore tidbits with very little in the way of direct conflict.

  6. So the dirge of bilqis have different routes 😳😳?????
    This is surprising. On my end it wasn't babel that was killed instead jehts older brother figure since their collaborating with the fatui. He and the other tanit tribe member planned to kill babel, marry jeht and take leadership. Liluopar apologizes being rude to babel at the end saying she was paranoid.
    Babel honestly wanted to improve the tribes situation by following the "sumeru aid plan" along with Cyno.
    Who else have this quest line?

  7. Maybe the reason the Jinn are Like That is because they were born/created shortly after the Goddess of Flowers was exiled, and she was wounded and likely resentful/grieving/in pain at the time. So maybe that high emotional/distressed state got carried over to the Jinn and affected their personalities.

  8. I feel we will see Jeht either in Fontaine or Natlan(mainly Natlan since she's essentially a desert dweller that was forced down a bloody warmongers path), and if her elemental abilities aren't canon to her or are through the use of a catalyst(not the weapon type), then she might gain a vision

  9. I hope you'll do the 3.6 quest soon. I was able to maintain my attention span for all the Jeht ones but when a new race popped up in 3.6 and a new faction along with the novelty of exploring the desert wearing off, I just could not pay attention lol.

  10. The best quests which are the world quests are never voiced which is a shame, the Sakura Cleansing ritual in Inazuma was so good as were the children quest in Enkanomiya and of course Ruu and the Thunderbird. They have all that money from the banners, wish they could find voice actors for these quests. I would also love if they would make Jeht playable, perhaps alongside Liloupar as part of her kit since she has no vision; we need more desert dwellers in general and I think they could make for a great character together.

  11. I only just finished Jeht's quest so I could watch this today, 11 days after the release of 3.6. I was thinking the same thing about the goddess of flowers probably having a bad/classist personality, but not from thinking Rukkhadevata:aranara::Goddess of Flowers:jinn. With the benefit of being able to play some of 3.6's world quests, I had the idea from meeting the jinn and pari and seeing their similar levels of haughtiness, that it must be something from their common origin in the goddess of flowers. That said, I didn't dislike Liloupar at all. I liked her worldly and wise presence during the quest. It felt like having a sage yet flirty older woman as an advisor. It was quite sad to see her go.

    About the master that Liloupar was comparing the Traveler to when they met, I thought she was talking about Ormazd. Thank you for the clarification that the throne with blooms was Deshret's and not the Goddess of Flowers'.

    In general, Sumeru has been even better lore-wise than any other chapter of Genshin so far. Sumeru, and the desert in particular, really feels like a world all its own with a long history that we can kind of delve into and touch. While the prior nations all have history, most of it does feel more like tell and not show. Maybe that's just recency bias. I was in the Vourukasha Oasis for the first time today and I was stunned by how beautiful it is. And I revisited the eternal oasis and had the same experience. Besides that, I think perhaps only the cool isle layout of the teapot has made me feel the same thing. It made me wish so badly that these were real places I could visit to see their supernatural beauty myself.

    I'm a bit puzzled that Jeht doesn't try to find her family in Sumeru City, though. She knows her mother's first and last names, a rough idea of when her mother left the Akademiya, and her profession, so she should be able to find them easily. Since Jeht is smart, she may have already realized Tirzad is likely her relative and thinks she may be unwelcome with them for being from the desert. Or maybe she's disillusioned after her experience with the Tanit and just wants to be away from people for a while.

  14. Introduce a random npc,
    Show her past & backstory,
    Kill her parents,
    Make her suffer & grieve,
    Make us care for her,
    Make her suffer more,
    Then just seperate & leave her never to be seen……what the actual fk genshin! Stop this emotional DMG or atleast give her an ending.

  15. I thought that when we awaken liloupar she choose the traveler because she was awakaned before by the twin, it remembered me of aranara quest who talked about an another golden nara who met before the traveler
