  • It was quite obvious from the start, but here is a video with some more proof of the actual canon traveler of Genshin Impact. I hope you enjoy the video :D

      What I want to know is why they stopped using Lumine as traveller. It was deliberate, they CHOSE Aether to depict traveller, if it was for consistency, wouldn’t it make more sense to just keep using Lumine?
      The main flaw with your reasoning is that even if you choose Lumine, you will get Aether arts in the limited time events. Like in the Shadow of Snowstorms event, it shows Aether Paimon and albedo, when canonically it should depict Lumine Paimon and Albedo. If Aether isn't the canon traveller, then why even in game with Lumine as traveller, does Aether show?
      You could argue it's for consistency, but it's not, because it's within the game. It isn't like CZcams clips or anything, it should in theory show Lumine, but it doesn't.

      they are simple minded and unable to comprehend anything with slight complexity of why the company keeps using Aether because they want to stay consistent with the promotional aspects for the game or simply because they prefer using Aether for it. However, story wise both twins are Canon by the company confirmation and the very simple fact they offer you the choice to use either of them like it's that simple '_'

    Gotta appreciate the details Mihoyo put into making the twins different. In cutscenes, you can notice Lumine is more on the offensive sides and Aether on the defensive. (Check the Shenhe archon scene). Along with this, their attack animations are different. Lumine looks more graceful and Aether more reckless. Lumine relies on her lower half and Aether on his upper. If I had to say, Lumine is more of the cold, skeptical twin while Aether more of the open, protective twin. (Which lowkey makes me regret choosing Lumine cause I would legit get on my knees for her cause oh my god she’s so badass when she’s evil)

    For me, my head-canon is this:
    There are alternate universes equal to the total number of players of the game.
    Whoever you chose to play as in your world is *your* canon protagonist. It is your world, your story. You decide how your experience in Tevyat plays out.
    If a friend of yours chose Aether for example, his or her canon protagonist is that character for their world.
    That's why in "co-op" mode, the Devs call it *joining another world* . You are adventuring in their storybook and you will be apart of their grand tale of Genshin Impact.

Obviously they shouldn't have to make a identical manga with Lumine replacing Aether in it, that's redundant and too much useless work. We know that the role of TRAVELLER is the one depicted in the manga. And for that instance, the devs decided to place that Traveller slot with Aether in it.

Many people, unfortunately, are trying to pass off as the truth that twins are shown in the battle pass trailer, because Venti in his phrase says "the prince will save the princess", then "the princess will save the prince", depending on whether the player chooses a boy or a girl. In addition, many people insist that Dainsleif is in love with Princess of Abyss Lumine, because in the trailer of the game he said about the flowers similar to those on Lumine's head. Oh, and I'm so tired of hearing from some that Lumine is Vera from the book "Vera's melancholy"...

      @fuocoorri Pƙed 2 lety +12

      I completely agree with you, Dain could mean someone else or could mean that Aether, like Lumine, also loved these flowers, without romantic overtones. And official art is generally a painful topic for players, but many people forget that Lumine also appears on many of them. For example, at a web event that started today. By the way, I also picked Lumine as my protagonist, she is so cute! I really love Aether too, but I like how serious he is as the Abyss Prince. In general, they are both wonderful and deserve more than the eternal conflicts of the players.

    I pick aether because I'm a boy. I'm pretty confused why some people are insisting aether/lumine is canon while in the story you play as who you pick. I think those people are just supremacists and think their aether/lumine is superior to other lumine/aether while both are canon.

    I can't believe this is STILL up for discussion, like, obviously both are canon and mihoyo sticks to using aether as mc/lumine as abyss princess in trailers etc for consistency and so we immediately know that when we see lumine for example that it has to do with the abyss. Sure you might say "no! people wont get confused if they switch it up!" but really, i've seen people get confused over the most blatant in-your-face stuff so... Either way I can't wrap my head around how this would still be an issue?? Like obviously the traveler you picked is the canon one for you??? Just bc mhy only uses one traveler in promo material doesn't automatically invalidate the other. Why would they even let us choose if only one of them was canon..

    Neither/both are canon, for the reasons stated in the video, but I do think it’s important when talking about how Aether is the twin used in promotional content to know that Aether is the first and currently only male main character of any standalone miHoYo game. FlyMe2theMoon, Houkai Gakuen, Houkai Gakuen 2nd(Gun GirlZ/GGZ), and Honkai Impact 3rd all have variations of Kiana Kaslana(the very first character miHoYo ever created/designed) as the main character. GGZ also had another female main character in a later storyline, Houraiji Kyuushou. Tears of Themis has a self-insert female main character the player gets to name.
    The only other male main characters of any miHoYo project currently are Captain, the self-insert fictional Captain of the Hyperion who is not canon to the main story of Honkai but does have a presence in the in-game events, which are also not canon to the main story, The Protagonist/Adam (named by the player) from A Post-Honkai Odyssey, which is a game mode within Honkai Impact 3rd and not a standalone game, and the main character of Honkai: Star Rail (also named by the player), which isn’t out yet. Aether, who was revealed to the public and first beta tested in 2019, predates the others, at least in the eyes of the public.
    Other than for consistency’s sake, I think they also just wanted to feature Aether more than Lumine because he’s the first male MC they created to get his own game.

    I’ve come to learn talking to people about this subject is a brick wall. You have the normal people who don’t care, preference is preference and honestly it doesn’t matter but if you run into people who are set in Aether being canon there is no reason to even bother talking to them on the matter. At the end of the day out of all the lore it’s probably the least significant given that the scenes don’t change depending on who you picked.
    I personally just think my personality aligns more with Lumine and can relate to the idea of a younger sibling left to fend for themself, plus I like her design more. I also really like the sad nature aether brings to the antagonistic role, not one who is justified in their actions but the self awareness to what they are doing isn’t necessarily good. It’s not everyone’s favorite things and that’s fine I’m glad when others have their own preference/reasonings, because as I said, it’s literally one of the least important factors in the game.

    And in MOST cases the pronouns do change, but in the part of the "we will be reunited" where Dane was with Lumine:
    Aether was referred to, as the "Abyss Princess" and "she" in a few cases in the text.
    So they did slip up a bit with the pronouns. I might not have noticed, if not for my OCD.

      They don’t care about the Traveler because they will only care if something gives them money, I’m an Aether main and it’s upsetting that they gave up on the Traveler and they replaced them with a Walmart version of Aether. Funnily enough I’ve got an entire essay about the problems Mihoyo has created with the Traveler. If anyone wants to see it then I’ll do it.

      It's a gacha game of course female character would have higher demographic. Raiden is the highest selling, hu tao is the highest rerun selling, there's more female character than male, the only character to get a skin is female. Mihoyo PR team ain't stupid, making female more is literally an easy cash grab. They don't make itto a new model for male but have a row of female child with no male. Gacha game is sometimes disgusting

    Theres a positive to having both canon. It eliminates any theories about these two immediately pertaining hidden identities. Dainsleif = aether theory, primordial = lumine, theyre all immediately imvalidated because these hidden identities would change genders depending on who you chose.

      They always bring the Manga to support that claim. We have to remember that these people are also using Anime logic ( the logic that the Manga is always canon ).
      The problem is that as soon as you say that the scene in the manga never happens in the game, they still refuse to acknowledge that.

    I like both as the canon one but i think mihoyo picks aether and not lumine if they were playing the game. I have neutral feelings about who’s the evil twin and the good one. But i think lumine is more fit to be the evil one by 00.01%, since she gives me that “bad girl” vibes and aether as the “innocent boy” vibes lmao poor them. I have played both twin, but please keep in mind this is my personal opinion and i don’t mind if people think the opposite. I agree with both.
