Genshin goes through a fair amount of changes each patch, and in the past aome have been undocumented. Some players donβt even realize these changes when Genshin version updates go live orβ¦.everβ¦.Hereβs just some of the weird ones that Iβve noticed, some more commonly known than others.

Edit: I'm aware now that Barbara's VA didn't actually change, I was misinformed a long time ago and just never verified it myself, my baaaad.
When I first came across the new wall by the Geo domain I thought they just patched the chest out or moved it. F to those who spent hours looking with their compasses.
I dont know if anyone noticed this but xiangling used to have a white head band on her character icon, but now its gone
There was another odd change this patch where the Loaches that drops Loach Pearls now run away from you in a back and forth motion instead of the usual straight forward run. I noticed it while gathering Artifacts in Liyue.
Major respect on the Diddykong racing music.
And the most annoying part for me is when they change the characters voicelines. In multiple languages too! Smh
Terrain around Cryo Regisvine was changed a lot with Dragonspine and most of the changes are still in place, I didn't even notice they changed something back. There was a ledge that could be used to get from the domain to the crystal spot without climbing, that disappeared and is still gone. There were more other changes along the shoreline towards Dragonspine, I think most of them were intentional even though I don't understand why they needed to make them.
Barbara's voice change was not in patch notes but was explained by Mihoyo. Multiple voiceovers were recorded for her in preparation phases, they picked one, and released another. So the change was also bug fix, regardless of players (including me) liking the "original" voice better.
Regarding idle voicelines, I changed dialog volume to zero long ago. I still get the music, sounds, even some enemy voicelines and these annoying monologues are gone. The only thing that felt odd at the start were missing battlecries but I don't really miss them either. I only enable the dialog voices when new voiced quest is available.
Criminally underrated Genshin player. I love these vids of just silly genshin things that happen (or can happen)
Fact (?) Any lyp-sync are coded for CN Dub only, thats why you will always see other DUB sometimes cut a bit or doesnt match with the animations
Actually, the old Barbara voice is still there you just need to change some things in the files and boom chearful barbara
Goth beth lol
What I heard about them changing Barbs voice was that it hurt the VA, that's why they changed it and made her more soft.
GOTH BETH π€£π€£π€£ im dead
Ayaka, mona, and fishl all get stuck on circles in the the domain and in the abyss when they run or do their specials but dulicβs special just goes straight though walls and boundaries unlike ayakaβs special.
As someone plays with Japanese voices, I think post-patch EN Barbara now does sounds more like her JP conterpart. That doesn't mean I prefer it :/
I miss raspy Barbara. She sounded so much more into what she was doing.
Ahhh Barbara…. She used to be my fav character… Before 2.3…
They changed her voice lines because the actress that is playing her is the same actress who plays Xianyan… They feared those two characters sound too similar.
Yanfei used to have only 2 idle animations, and in 2.3 they added a rhird animation where she uses her balance. I don't know if this was documented, though.
There was a change to ayaka jp dub battle voice
I still miss chipper Barbra.
Characters infused with chongyuns cryo infusion break minerals now
3:06 well that…aged
Xiao's japanese grunt got also changed in one of the latest patches, doesn't sound that aggressive anymore. Liked it more before though…
In one of the early inazuma patches, they changed Xiangling jp voiceline when she drops Guoba, it's slower? it's odd the old one was sorta satisfying, Bennett's E skill voiceline changed too right this last patch (2.3), it used to sound different. There's also a sneakier one I just noticed : there's a friendship xp farming spot in Konda Village where pigeons spawn. Logically you could use this random event to farm infinite foal, but now in 2.3 the pigeons don't drop foal at all anymore. It doesn't really matter for players as I doubt anyone really needs to farm foal extensively but it's funny to think that someone at mihoyo was like "oh no gotta fix that, can't be having players with max amount of foal"
Question: If I save from now on (Iβm a welkin player also donβt have access to abyss) can I save enough primos for guarnteed by 2.5?
After the 2.0 update Amber got more climbing noises…
Weird change honestly, and I most definitely DO NOT remember Amber panting like Lisa before.
Speaking of which, they nerfed the duration of Lisa's climbing noise sometime after 1.5 (meaning it sounded less moan-y), but then brought back the full length in 2.0 as well… I have no idea what goes on in MiHoYo dev team sometimes.
It was real fun to glitch through that wall though ππ¦ Once I did it I taught my friends and we glitched together in co op haha kinda sad it got fixed π₯²
Something I noticed quite recently, specifically with eula is that her attack sequence has changed, she kicks her claymore and never used to do that when I used her.
I don't know if this was also documented but no one mentions it or knows about it recently. Albedos elevator was debuffed ages ago, his elevator used to constantly go up and down but now you need to activate it by standing on it.
Although I liked Barabara's voice before, it fits her personality more now.
you've gained a sub through your fine taste in music!! I legit have ragnarok online installed just to get at that bgm folder lol
I do remember being able to go to the cryo regisvine by mistake but when I tried to go there intentionally I couldnβt find the wayπ
Barbaraβs old voice fits xingyang better lmao
I'm sure they just straight up and placed the chest outside the wall at a later patch.
The Barbara change still makes me so sad. Apparently it was because they wanted to better reflect her shy/introverted personality. But the peppy Barbara, who seemed happy to be there and ready to help? I miss her so much manβ¦
I started genshin last week and met the cryo regisvine for the first time…I was panicking to much to even think of teleporting out and It was the first time my entire team was wiped out
Uhm… 2 of the "undocumented" changes mentioned here ARE in the patch notes, at the very bottom…. also the birds at Yaoguang Shoal have always been there. Raiden has idle voice lines in English when she released…
Prolly more of a "Stuff People Didn't Pay Attention To" vid for me but overall, you made pretty good points~!
I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure for several different updates in the game, they've changed the Barbatos statue and base in Mondstat in front of the church several times.
I feel like they've done a lot of changes to the story script and toned Paimon's voice down from what I remember and gives a better explanation of game mechanics etc. From what I remember
Wait there was a chest there?
Uhh Barbara 1.2 voice I miss her happiness.
You can now teleport to the Alcor
just my opinion about barbara: maybe because the eng va of Barbara and Xinyan are the same person, they somewhat change barbara's raspy voice so players don't confuse the voice with xinyan? as we know, xinyan is a rock star, so that kinda makes sense.
I appreciate the diddy Kong racing bgm
barb's new sound is just better guys wtf
People are saying about Xiangling's E voiceline. She simply pronounced Guoba more into the Chinese pronunciation~
Katherine's voice changed after you come for primos compliting the commissions. It wasn't there before but now she says 'thank u compliting etc', its whisperyyy πππ
I remember getting the chest in the geo domain when the wall was completely closed offβ¦. I used my diona to squeeze in and glitch through ahhhh good times π©ππ»
My primos.
