Fruity ahh outfit

Literally me

One of the worst designs for a main character.

Is this envy?

Should've been younger

how long until janny stop gooning and delete the thread?

i think if they had just made him look less gay, gotten rid of the rat tail, given him a shirt that covered his midriff, more people would have picked aether and fewer people would have picked lumine, and aetherfags wouldn't be so defensive and detested by the rest of genshin's fandom

Stop being jealous.

He's extremely fucking ugly and I hate that artists keep putting him as the designated male in my porn just because he's the protagonist. Bitch is a fucking eyesore and doesn't belong in straight porn.

He fucks all the girls in his game
Even his sister

Why would I envy a twink? Lmao

Do you look like this?

Because he's prettier than you. He has a harem and you not.

This character has a haram too. I I don't have to play chick slop. You seem really upset chink shill.

That one is cute too.

BUILD FOR

this thread reeks of insecurity

i wish he had costume dlc. it feels so odd that every character besides the mc can be customized to your liking.

Builded for lumine

How fucked is china that they saw this dude and went “Yep. This is a great male character protagonist design”. Fucking Chibi Robo looks manlier than this fag

manliness is gay, fag

Faggot

Genshit is one of the very few cases where picking the male character is just as much tranny faggot coded as picking the female one. The best play is to not play this "dogshit" game at all.

He's literally just a slightly gayer Ramza which is less gay than most JRPG protags.

this is literally the only male character I fap to. the only femboy who gets approval from my dick.
I never played genshin yet felt compelled to make an aether chatbot so I can ravage his throat and cum on his stomach.

slightly gayer Ramza

Goddamn that's REALLY gay.

Mihoyo is so weird, they could unironically make a billion dollars selling traveler skins.

Mond default outfit

Liyue lantern rite outfits, one new one per year

Ayaka could have made a kimono outfit for you like she wants to in the story

Sumeru could have had something cool for the jungle and for the desert

Fontaine could have had a detective outfit matching Paimon

Natlan had an alternative outfit but only in png format

Puffy pants

Tight boots

Somehow cool and sexy for either men or women. I'm gonna bring it back.

Cope and seethe chink shill

I'm not a big fan. I don't like how brown his clothes are. He looks so unexceptional, so low-key. Lumine looks much more like a starchild than he does.

Narzissenkreuz sword

It's funny how much people want that to be the Traveler's main weapon despite how utterly irrelevant it is. The entire Narzissenkreuz story is fundamentally about stopping a guy who had no idea what the fuck he was doing and was completely in the dark about things that were actually happening in the main story. He was trying to save Fontaine, but he had no idea of Focalors' plan or about the whale. The sword's only purpose was to save him, but it's completely worthless for dealing with the real problems. Also, its main power, the ability to switch between Arkhe elements, is completely pointless outside of Fontaine.

People want it to be Traveler's sword because currently he's using the Prototype Amber of all things and the Narzissenkreuz storyline was at least something major he did that canonically gave him a "legendary" sword.

It's not legendary. In fact, lorewise, the Prototype Amber is probably the better weapon in spite of not being "special".

It's legendary in the context of the fairytale and the events even if functionally it's only important to the Narzissenkreuz story.

Yeah, but the fairy tale is irrelevant to Teyvat as a whole. The sword is only powerful in the context of the quest. Afterwards, it's no better than any other weapon. At least the Prototype Rancour was created by a legitimate blacksmith.

Afterwards, it's no better than any other weapon.

The point being that it's got sentimental value to both the players and Traveler compared to the Silver Sword or Prototype Amber.

The point being that it's got sentimental value

what a bunch of faggots

calm down fag it looks cool

It's a sidequest sword. It doesn't really deserve that.

its fun to watch him fuck and/or get fucked

It's a sidequest sword.

Given to you from a side quest that took an entire region to finish and involved every single major world quest in said region. Let's say Sumeru ended with Arama or Rana handing you some random 4* sword that buffed Dendro damage in Sumeru or something, people would have the same feeling towards that.

As far as I'm concerned, sentimental value to the player on its own does not justify turning something from a side quest into a mainstay of the central plot.

into a mainstay of the central plot.

None of the swords are central to the plot. Traveler just randomly goes to a Silver Sword around Inazuma and then the Prototype Amber around Sumeru or Fontaine to show progression in strength.

Traveler actually arbitrarily changed between Dull Blade and Silver Sword. There wasn't really a pattern or order to it. Consistency has been fairly new.

Of course, the one piece of consistency is that all of the weapons they use are ones that the player would inevitably obtain as they continued playing (unless they ignored the Adventurer's Guild completely). Since the Narzissenkreuz questline can be completely ignored if the player wished, and events can be played out of order, I suppose there's still more sense to the Traveler using the Rancour than the Sword of Narzissenkreuz. The player can do the Natlan Archon Quest without ever speaking to Ann.

Whoops, yeah, Rancour, Amber's the catalyst.

If they really wanted they could make it so that the game checks if you've done the quest. If you've never touched it then Traveler uses the Prototype Rancour, if you have finished it he uses the Narzissenkreuz sword. They're fairly detail-oriented and that would just be a cool attention to detail since they already reference other stuff you did like events for example.

Yes, on ATF.

this game has the most degenerate mods ever for some reason

Since all weapons have different lengths, widths and shapes, it'd be a headache. There's a reason why, even though the cutscenes aren't pre-rendered, they still prefer to keep the Traveler's weapon static. Minor variables are an unnecessary headache they they don't want to deal with.

Personally, if I had my way, I'd give each region a generic 2-star weapon and have the Traveler switch to that whenever they're in the area.

Fags are very gross

Reminder that Tartaglia's a dumb loser failure. Training him was a complete waste of Skirk's time. She could have used that time on literally anything else. Knit a sweater. Build a bookshelf. Watch the entirety of M.A.S.H. front to back. But no, she wasted it on training a talentless loser. She will never get that time back.

skirk is a loser that just copies her master the foul

Definitely one of the worst design, they could have picked the blandest shit like AL admiral or Fate and it would had been a mile better

Aether is pure! He's purer than you, faggots.

I would like his design a lot more without the ponytail, which just looks dumb on him

The fact you can pick between male and female protag, and the male is the one with an exposed midriff, what the fuck were they thinking

His jap VA

Made for Venti

I wish mihoyo would let me switch mcs but I understand the story would be weird if that happened.

Why do you hate Aether so much? Is there any Anime protagonist prettier than him?

Why do you hate Aether so much?

AGP

Love him.

Aether is public property. Everyone gets a turn with him.

111713111_p9.jpg - 1670x2048, 2.03M

I don't understand people calling him a fag, he got all the females in the game.

Probably the biggest gacha MC jobber

Femboy Material Used for Sex

Why do fags all act like weird abusive rapists?

You're bigot. You're calling me a sex material.

Literally P Diddy mentality

I think Genshin is the gacha that started the trend of humiliating the main character

le tee eff too meem

Your dead game's "community" is just as many redubbed memes with their characters swapped in as Genshit.
Let go already you cringe fossil.

I want his gameplay to reflect his lore. Both he and Lumine should be kicking ass, actually I use them just to reach the threshold of character needed for the imaginary theater (having to switch the element at the statue its annoying)

In the animated sections of the anniversary promotional video of the last summer he was a badass

I don't like people doing incest with him. Fuck you retarded.

is he wrong?

Lumine has the better design than Aether.
Caelus and Stelle aren't that different in quality, though I do think Caelus could use a slightly more standout hairstyle.
Wise and Belle are pretty even. They're both plain and generic, almost NPC-like. Belle's energetic personality makes her stand out a little better than Wise though, but that's got nothing to do with their appearances.

If anything were to happen to this voracious little gremlin, I would be most upset.

I picked caelus in HSR because he looks better
Aether looks like a twink who takes it up the ass

The fact that he is an effeminate fag is the only reason I even know anything about this slop

Literally me fr fr.

looks generic as fuck

made for sex with other boys

Male protagonists are usually designed to be self-inserts. They can be kinda cool-looking, but just generic enough that most dudes can go "He's just like me frfr".

On the other hand, my theory is that since most artists for these kinds of games are prone to waifufaggotry themselves, they can't help but try to make the heroines as appealing as possible. Male protagonist usually aren't designed to be husbandos, but most heroines have a high probability of being someone's waifu.

I picked his sister 5 years ago, I now perhaps would pick him because she's boring and safe af.

the japanese make cute characters for you to beat your dick to, westerners make ugly characters to preach to you about rights for .0001% of the population

so yes it is okay when the japanese do it

Was he gay or just weird?

He's a chunni and he wears a thong if you look at the right camera angle

I tried replaying this some time ago and I find myself liking it less now. Fayt is just an incredibly unlikable protagonist. I fucking can't stand him.

I picked him thinking the game would eventually have an outfit/hairstyle system like most games do. Unfortunately, I'm still waiting for fucking Homoverse to get off their asses so I can finally get him out of his faggy twink outfit.

I picked the gay twink looking character but I swear it's not because I'm gay

Should breed his sister

Yes, that's right, and?

i picked him because im not a yuritroon
glad he makes them seethe lmao

Sex with MEN

It's a cool acrobatic sword move.

this twink doesn't get bottomed out on the daily

yeah okay bud

He's the canon protagonist
Yuribrowns don't need to reply

She's very goofy.

Pretty boring design

Nothing against Aether but Loom is straight sex. Would coom in loom all day.
I typically choose male over female for my avatar in a video game, Genshin Impact or Pokemon games Gen 5 or below aside.

The difference is that he is supposed to be an immortal dimensional traveler with godlike powers unlike other gacha MCs

I don't play Genshit, but it does bother me that the start of the game is losing your sibling and the rest of the game is you trying to save them. I hate narratives where the MC is seperated from a loved one and spends all their time trying to get back to them. Just hundreds of hours/chapters/episodes of near misses. Frustrating as fuck.

Has the sibling been saved yet? If not, how much longer is it expected to be until they will be?

my gf wants me to dress up like him

He looks like he fucks elderly women.
