So the voice of Ei when she gets serious sounds closer to the Shogun, only slightly less rigid. When Ei is talking with the Traveller or reminiscing the old story, her voice becomes very soft and tender. I think it is also intentional. That's my take.

This act just elevated Ei to one of my favorites. I know people compare her to the other Archons, especially Zhongli when it comes to their ruling methods. Always talking about how the latter is a superior ruler. And you know what? I can't blame them for feeling that way. But that's the thing. Zhongli is a near perfect individual from day one with his only flaw is a terrible sense of handling money. Compared to Ei who is really flawed, he doesn't have much room to develop because he's like the guy who has finished his life's journey whereas Ei is a child who went through terrible stuff and loss a lot, she couldn't handle her grief properly and made many mistakes, but after getting scolded, she comes to realize how wrong she was, and now she wants to try to make amends, even though she knows that she is still ignorant about what direction her country should proceed in, she's clearly making an effort to try and learn. In short, I'm just a sucker for flawed characters who learn from their mistakes.

Honestly I didn’t mind Ei’s last story quest at all, even though I know some people complained, personally I found it to be quite amusing seeing her learn about the world that she had left behind for so many years. It was one of the few quests that actually felt different from the others to me, because it didn’t follow the usual pattern that so many other story quests and character hangouts do. I also think that it was a necessary predecessor to this current quest, as it showed how Ei was slowly awakening and learning to see the potential in a new way of life. However, I must say that this latest quest was definitely better in terms of intensity and overall entertainment. There was a lot of plot development, which is something that Genshin Impact has sorely needed for quite some time now. The voice acting and dialogue was some of the best we’ve had so far, and honestly this particular story just felt much more meaningful than almost all of the other Genshin Impact stories that have come before (In-game, at least. Not really referring to the comics/manga). So yeah, I definitely hope we get more quests like this one in the future.

Commission dude was cool and all, but it just didn't tie back to Ei as strongly as it could've. Act II however, did it right.

In a way, I feel like Makoto's way of interpreting "Eternity" parallels Scaramouche's perspective when he last confronted the Traveler. The way he phrased it, "Eternity stretches things out over a long time. But each moment within it becomes all the more fragile." versus Raiden Makoto's "Eternity extends time into infinity. Dreams illuminate each moment within." sound almost too similar to be considered a coincidence, while at the same time holding two very different meanings due to their views of the world and humanity as a whole. I just thought it was something a little interesting to note.

I think Scara's views are basically Ei's before 2.5. He's basically saying that even if you could stretch things out over a long time, you're still susceptible to loss during that time. That's why Ei felt that she needed to take extreme measures, to protect the fragile nature of things in humanity. Whereas Makoto's and Ei's are that you need a little bit of both to truly shine.

There is actually a lot of philosophy debate over the idea of eternity all these stories evloved around, just sadly no one picked up on it. I personally interpret Scaramouch's line as his perspective is that eternity is a weakness, one that he can expoit (which is actually true.)

@kw3565

2 жыл бұрын

For me who is very interested in philosophy, the debate of philosophy of Eternity is what interest me a lot in the whole inazuma quest, especially the sacred sakura. First thing to notice is how Makoto says the sakura tree can escape the grasps of the heavenly principle. Although we don't really know what the heavenly principle is, I believe the heavenly principle is what we IRL refers to Entropy. Entropy is a concept mainly in physics that describe all things will fall into a state of disorder. In simpler words, all things will decay. This cocept is also present in Honkai-impact(anti-entropy), the other game of Hoyoverse. As Honkai can be interpret as the end of all things, it can also be interpret as the physical manifestation of entropy itself. Zhongli and Ei always refers that the erosion is caused by heavenly principle, if we replace heavenly principle to entropy, it makes sense. You might think entropy is bad, but it is what gives time meaning. According to Stephen Hawking, "Entropy is what distinguish the past from the future, giving a direction of time." without Entropy, time won't just stand still, time wouldn't even exist, meaning everything won't exist.(Maybe that's why there must be a sustainer of Heavenly principle(entropy)). Now, given entropy/ Heavenly principle can't be stopped, then how do we "escape it" without breaking it? The answer is Eternity. Both Ei's and Makoto's method of Eternity is a possible solution theoretically. Ei's previous ideology of Eternity is that the flow of time is stretched to infinity, in a sense, the flow of time is stopped. (This is similar to the philosophy of Eternity during the Age of Enlightenment IRL, which suggest "eternity is a permanent now"). Ei's idea was to slow down time indefinitely. Basically, it usually takes one second for one second to pass (ah yes, the floor is made out of floor) but, by stretching out each second to infinity, u are technically still moving forward in time, but u will never be able to move forward, meaning entropy is technically happening, but doesn't actually. (It is a paradox, but a paradox that just so happpens to be close to the laws of entropy, but also escaping it). However, as we proved to Ei, this is simply not possible, as humans are still progressing. She might be able to achieve Eternity herself, but not everyone else. Moreover, by stretching each moment to eternity, each moment also become meaningless, as time is not moving. That's why Scaramouch says, "Eternity stretches thing over a long time, but each moment within it becomes all the more fragile." Makoto's idea is a more abstract one. Her philosophy views eternity from the perspective of existence outside of time, many religious philosophy views eternity this way. If time is a dimension that can be measured, then to the perspective of higher diety, both past and future are part of the infinity duration, in other words eternity. That's why Makoto treasure every moments in time, as all of them are part of eternity. If a single moment is missing, there is no eternity. Now rmb how Entropy is the direction and movement of time itself? This whole concept revolves around the idea that time is an arrow: like the xyz axis. Meaning it can have an end and a beginning, and so everything will move toward the end point. However, we don't necessarily know if time truly flow that way, or at least we don't know how exactly time flows in Teyvat. If time flows like a circle, then there is no start point, nor an end point. Meaning Entropy is still happening, things can still decay, but that decay also bring about the beginning. This is the concept of the Ouroborus (ahem, the world serpent in Honkai), the serpent is always consuming itself. It will always produce waste, the tail will be consumed, but the serpent is also always growing in length, producing the things it needs. In this quest, with the birth of Sakred Sakura tree, the flow of time has officially become a circle(at least the tree did). The Sacred Sakura has provided the support past Ei needed to cope with her experience, until she reach the point she get the seed, then Ei plant that seed that the Sacred Sakura tree needed to grow. Time has become a circle, in other words, Eternity is achieved, and escaped the Heavenly principle (entropy). This is why the traveller said time in that realm is flowing foward and backward at the same time. If time is a circle, when u move forward, u are approaching the "ending point" but u are also approaching the "starting point", moving backward is the same. With this very complicated explanation, we truly understand how beautiful the moment Ei planted the seed truly is, and how 5head Makoto is. I am not a philosophy expert, only interested in the idea of eternity in philosophy, so I am not sure if everything I said is correct here, but given how Hoyoverse is approaching with this topic, I think I got the gist of it correctly.

First few fights and impressions. I am enjoying the new boss. Far more fast paced. Keeps you engaged almost all the time. She has multiple kinds of attacks that deal massive damage. (My diona shield breaks so freaking fast) I did run zhongli shield. She can break it very quickly if i don't dodge attacks (mainly because she attacks relentlessly) Her ultimate phase drain Energy practically all the time until after you deploy the shield to avoid KO. In which case you gain energy back. She will 2 to 3 shot you in ULT phase. So without a shield. You'll die very quickly and she has wide AOE that's a little more challenging to avoid for the common players. If they were to buff her. It be her HP. She is locked at 90. Wished she hit at least level 96 for WL8 players and AR 50 and up. But I think that might be lethal since she deals massive damage and attacks multiple times with small moments to deal heavy to her. (Also she blocks attacks just like childe. ) (Also you cannot just sit there. She will attacks you in 10 seconds of no movement. So don't expect some slack. On another note. You don't need electro but you need to be quick and find that Sakura Ball. Otherwise you'll need to sacrifice someone that won't cause a big impact to your outcome. Takes at least 3 to 5 hits. So get to it. Also don't use electro against her in ult phase. It's basically useless.

Although I enjoyed act 1 very much, I must say some of Mihoyo's short term storytelling need some work. Not saying they are bad, but they sometimes fail to grap audience attention. Act 1 relied soely on humor and the philosophical topics to catch people attention, but the humor is subjective, and nearly no one pick up on the philosophy behind Eternity (because it is a very difficult topic). There are only some actions at the very end, but its kinda late. Just like Yae quest says, u need something to grab people attention for a great story, even if sometimes it is cheap thrills. They could have added some elements of intrigue, foreshadowing to make people wish for more. This is a problem even for even Honkai as well. Still, their long term stories never failed to pay off and I would say it is justified.

Well in her Ult phase. She's immune so her shield won't break at all. I would suggest Pyro and cryo. But you'll need to be fast in deploying the shield with no electro in the team. Otherwise you'll die easily and possibly miss calculate which character to sacrifice and might screw you over. Just saying. The fight is very fast paced.

No. However, her shield is hard as an Electro Abyss Lector's and is softer to Cryo like that of an Fatui Electro Warhammer. Takes time to break.

Everybody's talking about Ei and with good reason, but nobody's talking about the Shogun AI. It's honestly refreshing to see a story about AI where it accepts being reprogrammed rather than sticking to it's original protocols and killing or rebelling against the creator in the process.

By far the most interesting part of this quest is the conversation at the Narukami shrine.

I'm sure people were disappointed with the first Ei story quest. However, I think this was a necessary step toward story II. Story I explored how Ei perceives the people she governs. They showed how they display honor, discipline (Kujou Kamaji) and culture (dango milk). As mundane as those seemed to be, it shows how Ei is changing. Not seeing her people governed with an iron fist but with understanding of how people, their mind and culture change.

The Inazuma soundtrack is EVERYTHING🙌🙌🙌the leitmotif that plays there is the one that gets associated most often with the raiden shogun (it even plays in her teaser & demo) so hearing it while her older sister is speaking just adds another layer.

this is giving me a nostalgic its like ei is fighting herself more like naruto is fighting his darkness and the tailed beast and makoto arrived almost like kushina uzumaki soul meeting her son

this story quest got me shedding tears, i’m so glad makoto and ei were able to speak to each other again

You didn’t have to eat food you know, Ei here automatically regenerates to full health upon reaching 1HP. Shows that her will was unmoving and she could withstand erosion.

I really love this story quest! The goodbye hurt lol, but I'm happy that they were able to talk to each other one last time.

this story quest was immaculate, i love ei so much

The clever paradox here is that ei accepting change ironically lead to the recreation of the past, having ei as Makoto now and the shogun as ei was previously. So basically change and growth solved the problem unlike eternity which aimed to keep it from happening again

I related so hard in this quest. Is it because i have a twin? Twins or maybe extremely close siblings have always the dependent and independent one. Ei is obviously the dependent one and should be guided by her twin. Makoto's death dealt a great toll on Ei and it clouded her judgement for the future of inazuma. Makoto knew this because she knew Ei more than anyone. My life is unhealthy because i am still over dependent to my twin. I wonder what will happen if i will walk my own path someday.

Ei didn't even need to reveal her final form to defeat that Raiden Shogun but Raiden Shogun immediately did

You can tell that Anne Yatco did a brilliant job voicing Raiden Shogun, Ei and Makoto. You can tell the difference between the three characters: that there is something about Makoto’s voice that gives off the feeling she has reached enlightenment and has found her inner peace before the war against Khaenri’ah. Raiden Shogun’s voice comes from one who has fought many battles that it was her way of being is nothing but fighting. But Ei’s voice is a combination of both, she seeks to find clarity and to reach enlightenment like Makoto has done so in the past, but she is one who has fought many battles, that fighting was her purpose. But Ei has found a new purpose rather than violence, that is why her voice is more solemn, that she still misses her sister that she found dead, in contrast to the Raiden Shogun’s, I can imagine that was her voice before she longs to see the one who is no longer there but mellowed due to her emotions crying out.
