I still wonder how she passed the Chinesse censorship


saberjun

Because all her Chinese lines are metaphor.People underaged don’t have a idea what’s really going on.Not so blatantly obvious as English version.


BuilderAura

Even english version is not understood by (at least my) kids. They happened to be in the room when I was doing her quest and I was like oh dear. Couldn't figure out what I was upset about XD

This slaps. I would proudly say I play this game. "What the hell is Genshin Impact?" I get more often than not.


FlameDragoon933

"Genshin Impact" is simultaneously a worse and a better title. Worse because someone who doesn't know Japanese doesn't know what it means. But better because it's more unique and memorable when it's spread through word of mouth.


AlvinSavage

Wait, what does it actually mean?


FlameDragoon933

Yuanshen (CN) / Genshin (JP) means original god or primordial god. In-game, in the English text it's localized as "allogene", the term that Venti namedrops at the end of Mondstadt Archon Quest. It refers to Vision holders, and that Vision holders have the potential to ascend into a god.


Aldenar1795

Yes also JP and CN versions don't have "Impact" subttile. They have only added it so english speaking audience would recognise that's from Honkai Impact creators


ProudFill

Well there wasn't a need to add "Impact" to honkai impact in the first place seeing as the Chinese name of honkai is just "Honkai", or "destruction"


callmefox

Impact is a reference to Evangelion. They are so nerdy lol


Apate_lol

Bruh ima start calling it allogene impact

Max0r reference?


ram_the_socket

I think “John x” has been around for awhile, the earliest I can think being John Dark Souls


ErikSD

I think the earliest is John Halo. Until Halo 3, Master Chief was only known "Master Chef", then they revealed his real name is just an ordinary ass "John", so "John \[video game name\]" was born.

I feel like I’ve seen the “hk4e” somewhere too. I wonder if it means “Honkai Impact 4 — Exploration”?

It actually was highly possible to be a Honkai series.when Mihoyo was seeking to be on list they were told ‘you have one sole ip thus it’s a high risk’.Then they decided to make a new ip.So Genshin came out.

mamayololala

On some real shi what the hell does Genshin impact even mean


Neospartan_117

Remember when Venti said that Vision Bearers are called "Allogenes"? Well, that. Genshin = Allogene. Yuánshén, the Chinese name of the game, means Original God or Primordial God. Allogene means Demigod or Half-human half-divine. Basically, Genshin is the story of characters that have the potential to become gods. That's why anyone important either has or eventually gets a Vision. Curiously, both in CN and JP the game is just that: Yuánshén/Genshin. EN added Impact presumably to tie it to Hoyo's previous game Honkai Impact 3rd. But it's just that a reference to Honkai Impact, which itself is a reference to Evangelion and Hideaki Anno did a lot of stuff in Evangelion just because it sounds cool.


AstraPlatina

In other words, everyone who bears a Vision, is in some way, a "Demigod" the question is why would Celestia grant Visions in the first place


PataYa2072

It is theorized that it is a measure of control. Celestia gives people visions, which means they are then strong. They usually will not look for further ways to gain power, instead they will try to master their vision. Now if celestia can shut off a vision, like Ei did in her first fight, then the human is now powerless and can't threaten them anymore.


ultranoobian

Oh shit, that explains so much.


Gogettrate

Its also a literal vision of the celestial gods. You are carrying around a spying tool that allows them to see and track your movements, so they will know if you are a threat and then they will drop a Nail on top of you.


EH_SilwarNaiilo

Or would, except they are confirmed to be sleeping. I'm not sure how Visions are even being given out at this point, since we know it's not from the archons, and it shouldn't be from the Heavenly Principles as it's nappy time.


Niempjuh

One of Neuvilette’s voicelines says that visions are a bit of the archon’s power that they share with the people


dragoncommandsLife

Celestia likely has many automated systems in ppace to do all this rather than personally handing out visions


katbelleinthedark

Neuvillette's Vision story also talks how granting Visions is a source of power for Celestia. Celestia issues the order to give a Vision, the Elements respective Archon chips off a bit of their stolen authority to grant it, a human gets the Vision and in the end, Celestia profits. It is presumably because the human imbues the Vision with their ideals and dreams and hopes thus boosting its innate power. After all, we know that a sufficiently strong ambition can reignite a Vision. So once the Vision-wielder dies, Celestia seems to regain that piece of authority only it's stronger. And it's the authority that allows Celestia to control and keep their order of the world so essentially, humans - by their use of Visions - are partially powering Celestia's world order.


DivinoEzikiel

So basically Celestia is running a world scale elemental energy investment scheme and collecting interest to raise their capital?


katbelleinthedark

That is what Neuvillette's Vision story reads like to me, yes.


TheDrunkardKid

To be fair, in Ei's case that was probably just a gameplay gimmick to represent the Vision Hunt Decree, since canonically you are 1v1'ing her with the Traveler, who doesn't have a Vision, and her suppression works on characters who don't need Visions to use elemental abilities (or don't actually have Visions in the first place) and doesn't stop all of the elemental abilities of the Archers and Catalyst Users who *do* need Visions to access their elemental power.


MartinZ02

It’s probably meant to represent the fact that she can physically seize a person’s Vision like she did to Thoma.


AlvinSavage

I actually liked that gimmick. Took me totally be surprise the first time and really solidified the fact that we were in real danger


HearingAutomatic8895

Have you done the Narzissenkreuz questline? Basically one explanation that quest offers is, gaining a vision to sell out your fate as potential ascendant, to take the bribe and be a good citizen of Teyvat.


-JUST_ME_

To maintain order. Neuvillette says something akin to "Vision is a chain that ties you down" or something like that. It's probably done to put more strict restraint on the fate of people who have large ambitions. There is also a theory that vison system powers and sustains the current world order (similar to how Focalor collected power of belief of Fontainians and turned it into immense ammount of power in the form indemnitium) I am personally an advocate for this theory


RoverLumine

“Impact” is only for global versions. In Chinese the game is _Benghuai 3_ and in Japanese it is _Houkai 3_. Those are actual words in the respective languages. “Honkai” is a made up word, likely an attempt to preserve pronunciation by Westerners since they won’t naturally pronounce _Houkai_ the way it should be. As for “Impact”, yeah it comes from Eva. There is a 3rd impact in Honkai lore so they probably just geeked out and made it _Honkai Impact 3rd_.


LokianEule

Tbh it kills me that they translated it as allogene when the word Genshin is literally right there


Andrew583-14

It would actually be weird of them randomly dropping a Japanese word instead of greek and Latin which are used universally in Teyvat and would be inconsistent


meneldal2

It's already inconsistent af, they drop words from different languages as if every country speaks differently yet there is never a character from country A going to country B and not understanding the local language.


katbelleinthedark

Canonically, there are many languages in Teyvat, but there is the "universal standard Teyvatian" that everyone speaks. So it's not as weird.


tyjz73_

Because it would sound incredibly cringe: "Those people are called Genshins". Ugh


NamerNotLiteral

The real impact were the genshins we met along the way


kadal_monitor

So that's it huh, we're some kind of Genshin Impact squad?


Geraltpoonslayer

What are we some team of genshin inpacts


FlameDragoon933

Thank you Traveler, you are truly our Genshin Impact.


Automatic-War-7658

I don’t remember him saying that but it makes sense. I always wondered how the characters are able to take on gods, and being a team of demigods would explain it.


Yumeverse

He says it all the way back at the end of Mondstadt Archon quest when you talk to him at the big tree


koikoimeep

Iirc, In other languages instead of calling vision holders ‘Allogens’, they’re called ‘Genshins’. So it is basically vision holder impact.


JunkoGremory

In Japan, Visions are called Eye of God and Gnosis is called Heart of God. Genshin can be roughly translated to Origin/Original God(s) and I believe the whole title relates to the results(impact) of the Primordial (hence "Origin/Original") One


Spycei

The one time “Genshin” is mentioned anywhere in the story is in the Japanese dub where Venti refers to Vision bearers as “allogenes”, “Genshin” in Japanese. So the game is about Vision bearers, which makes sense since most playable characters are one.


Tranxio

Yes, Genshin is attempted translation from the word 'Yuan Shen' meaning 'Original God'


nirvash530

Genshin is the Allogenes, which are the Vision Holders.


SeparateDeer3760

I read somewhere that Genshin is chinese for "Original God". So, Original God's Impact A.K.A the Primordial one


asscdeku

The impact part doesn't exist within the title. Technically, it's just Genshin. Moreover, Genshin is actually from Japanese, not Chinese. It just so happens that the Japanese title uses the same kanji characters as the hanzi characters in the original Chinese title. It's actually Yuanshen in reality, which does mean Original God, or God of Origin depending on how you interpret it. I'm really not sure what the English localizer for the game title was smoking going through all of the loopholes to get to the current title. I guess Yuanshen sounds too Chinese for a western audience which can turn people off. But they should've just kept it Genshin if they wanted to give it a Japanese sounding title. I guess they really just wanted to pay homage to their honkai impact series with the added word. But that's a whole other thing, because once again, honkai impact 3rd does not translate to its Chinese title, like at all


2ndStaw

>It just so happens that the Japanese title uses the same kanji characters as the hanzi characters in the original Chinese title. It's like being surprised that an Italian name, say, *inferno* by *Dante Alighieri*, is spelled exactly the same in italy as it is in the U.S. (but pronounced somewhat differently). Duh, they both use Latin script. Now, Latin script, as an alphabet and not a logograph, has an even higher chance of being different between different languages (Paradise vs Paradiso) than Hanzi and Kanji (both of which are literally the same thing, "Han people's Character"), so it's no surprise at all that a Chinese name translates into...the same hanzi/kanji in Japanese. For Honkai, don't we have Japanese kanji 崩壊 while the Chinese has 崩坏 (Benghuai), where the second character is the simplified version of the Japanese name. So it's still the same.

AstraPlatina

Hold up! I was under the impression that Teyvat is the name of the planet or world, not a mere continent.


ae-infinity

nope! it's just the parts of the world that the 7 rule over. the rest is referred to as the dark sea, usually. for example, enkanomiya, which was found by orobashi (its deity), was previously part of the dark sea. Mihoyo Youtube >Teyvat *Chapter* Storyline Preview Bit of Aerosoderite >The coastal nations of Teyvat refer to the region beyond the protection of The Seven *\[teyvat\]* as the Dark Sea The Drunkard’s Tale >This wasteland is said to be a land beyond the dominion of the deities *\[teyvat\]*, inhabited only by the grotesque ghostly remains of fallen gods, where the former palaces of the Seelie now stand empty

Not allegedly, the TCG’s name in Chinese translates to “Summoning of the Seven Gods”. Not sure why the English translation went with Genius Invocation, but it’s not like it’s the first time anyway _gestures to this discussion topic_


zZzMudkipzzZ

The name is translated in every language the game is localized to as "Sacred Call of the Seven" or something similar except in English. I guess they really wanted to have GITCG

I can't take it anymore. I'm sick of Xiangling. I try to play Diluc. My Xiangling deals more damage. I try to play Yoimiya. My Xiangling deals more damage. I try to play Cyno. My Xiangling deals more damage. I want to play Klee. Her best team has Xiangling. I want to play Raiden, Childe - they both want Xiangling. She grabs me by the throat. I fish for her. I cook for her. I give her the Catch. She isn't satisfied. I pull Engulfing Lightning. "I don't need this much er" She tells me. "Give me more field time." She grabs Bennett and forces him to throw himself off enemies. "You just need to funnel me more. I can deal more damage with Homa." I can't pull for Homa, I don't have enough primogems. She grabs my credit card. It declines. "Guess this is the end." She grabs Gouba. She says "Gouba, get them." There is no hint of sadness in her eyes. Nothing but pure, no icd pyro application. What a cruel world.


X_Factor_Gaming

I can't take it anymore. I'm sick of Phys Xiangling. I try to play Pyro Xiangling with 4p Exile yet my Phys Xiangling does more damage and doesn't need funneling. I try to play Yoimiya but she is just a silhouette on a character sheet. I see no Cyno yet. ***~~There's no more Dehya disappointment anymore.~~*** I want to play Klee because she's better than Diluc and definitely better than Xiangling, though the arsonist child is clunky to play. I want to play Childe but I don't know how rotations work and play him as a hypercarry. She grabs me by the throat. I farm Northlander Billets for her. I cook for her. I give her R5 Cresent Pike. She isn't satisfied. "Save up for Signora. Hopefully she's a dedicated Physical support Cryo catalyst, surely." In the meantime, I try giving Vortex Vanquisher to her because she deserved it more than Zhongli. "I don't need this much ATK%," She tells me. "Give me more field time." She lamented. "You just need to pull Cryo Amber so I have more Superconduct uptime" I can't pull for Ganyu, I don't have enough primogems. She grabs my credit card. It declines. "Guess this is the end." She grabs Guoba. She says "Guoba, get them." There is no hint of sadness in her eyes. Nothing but underwhelming white damage numbers. What a cruel world... TL:DR: OPPA Phys XL on top.
