I loved the festival date in game, Ayaka is absurdly adorable. This art is super cute, and I really hope we get more fanart with her and Lumine.

Ayaka has a crush on Lumine, it's canon in my heart. Also I take it since she was on the festival date with us and they were in an official art together so in my eyes - Ayaka x Lumine supremacy

Missigno you are absolutely correct
Ayaka had a crush on Lumine.
Her idle animation dialog also says so.

^It's definitely bittersweet. Though in theory we can headcanon that Ayaka can join Lumine's travels, or Lumine can visit Ayaka for cute dates.
I really wish Lumine's character was more than "find my sibling" in the canon dialogue. Kind of like how the Fallout 4 protagonist is pretty much entirely "find my family member" as well. Give me more to the player character please, the "find my family" type of story is just something I'm also not very into.

^The characterisation makes perfect sense if you look at what little available lore there is of the Twins' background though - which basically pegs them as billions of years old Time Abysses ("seen the birth and death of stars" as it were) who have some issues recalling specific details about their past encounters.
In that context the one constant in their existences is each other and their apparently endless journey, so it's only natural that the sibling takes absolute precedence over anything in what is at the end of the day but another transient short stop. Probably also noteworthy here that while the Traveler clearly has nothing against socialising with the natives, quite the contrary, there's also a distinct undertone of staying aloof from any closer commitments.
After all, if you're inevitably going to move on - and eventually forget most about them anyway - it's an act of kindness to minimise the number of people distraught over your departure.

Hey guys, could one of you answer this question is genshin impact is a pay to win game?

Jul 31, 2021 10:13PM
^rather depends on how you define "pay to win" but already given the total absence of PvP, not really.

^yes, you can definitely have fun just playing the game being a f2p. The game has so much contents, and just exploring the story and the map is super fun. Do remember that it's a gacha game, so do try to contain yourself if there's a new character that you can't get. Be happy with what you get, play how you want, don't try to optimize the resin (daily energy to farm) and you will have much more fun.

'S p great. Anyway the game's rather F2P friendly so you're good there.

Cant get over the fact, that Mihoyo didnt acknowledge the fatooy mask there and made a dialogue option about: I already have a mask. Or something and Paimon snapping back.

@random: I never said it didn't make sense, just that it seems to be the ONLY thing the Traveler focuses on in dialogue a majority of the time. I get the reasoning behind why they're so focused on finding their sibling, but for me it just leaves the main character feeling like they're lacking and don't have much in terms of dynamic interaction with other characters.
I've seen the "find your family member" plot numerous times in games, and it's usually something I don't personally enjoy. With Genshin I simply want a story that focuses more on traveling adventures and the intrigue of new lands, also the Traveler building relationships with people in the world and discovering the inner workings of each region. Honestly I could do without the Traveler being some ancient being.
I'm also not saying the devs should listen to me, and I'm not saying what other people should like. I'm only stating some of my opinions along with my preferences, and at risk of repeating myself but to clarify I'd prefer a plot that doesn't have the searching for family element, and instead entirely revolves around a dynamic main character that travels to different regions to seek adventures and everything that entails. That's what I like and the individual stories in each region are my reason for playing the game. Random side quests, exploring, so fourth.
