Story of Genshin Impact was REWRITTEN

The story of Genshin was so obviously rewritten. It's so obvious. Especially with the Harbingers but more importantly with even bigger lore stuff. It's not just in Nod Krai. It actually started in Sumeru at the end of it's archon quest. I vaguely remember that Nahida wasn't the original Dendro Archon, even Venti mentions that it's just him and Zhongli that were part of the original Seven, but now there's NOTHING in the game that even mentions the old Dendro Archon.

Another glaring obvious rewrite is with the Fatui Harbingers! I thought Scaramouche was supposed to be a Harbinger, but in the latest archon quests the other Harbingers don't even know him. It's obvious that they rewrote the story for Nod Krai. This inconsistency in characterization makes no sense and makes me so angry. I hate Genshin Impact and I can't wait for the next patch. I'm so excited to pull for Columbina. Why is the update taking so long?

Believers used to be baitable

Good that i can actually read the tag

Zombie-Pinya2026-01-14 00:02

Thanks. I feel like the joke is going over half the people's head.

RubyShabranigdu2026-01-14 04:38

You got me in the first half, not gonna lie.

LapinAuFour2026-01-14 01:51

how dare you call yourself a genshin player when you do read stuff!

Whoosh

Petter17892026-01-14 00:35

What do you want this time, Venti?

Zombie-Pinya2026-01-14 06:37

The comment has been blown away from the timeline just like Mare Jivari

OriginCycle2026-01-14 00:00

Who’s Scaramouche? And what do you mean the “original archon”, Nahida was always one of the OGs.

Zombie-Pinya2026-01-14 00:15

Are we sure? I'm pretty sure there was a Harbinger called Scaramouche that kinda looked like Hat Guy but meaner and electro-er, but my memory's kinda fuzzy.

By original Archon, I think I mean King Deshret the OG!

Sorry, sometimes I confuse my own headcanon for lore.

FatalWarrior2026-01-14 00:54

Nope, first time I've heard that name, though it has a nice beat to it. I beat that, if they were to be a harbinger, their moniker would be something like The Balladeer.

Oh you silly thing, Deshret was never an Archon, he was a reborn Sovereign.

Zombie-Pinya2026-01-14 01:31

Oh! That's a good moniker! Is it a reference to that ballad-opera-rock song that has Scaramouche in it? Sumerian Rhapsody?

Oh you're right, you're right. I just have this weird funny feeling that something doesn't add up with the Dendro Archon but I can't put my finger on it.

TrashySheep2026-01-14 00:00

Can't have prayers for the Shade of Space without redaction and being rewritten. Damn

Zombie-Pinya2026-01-14 00:17

For real. The arrogation of mankind is getting out of hand

aqbac2026-01-14 06:14

I have to point out arrogation doesn't mean arrogance like you seem to think though I know you're referencing asmoday in the intro

AlchemicalWanderings2026-01-14 00:22

Who tf are you talking about?

Zombie-Pinya2026-01-14 00:40

Lesser Lord Kusanali implies the existence of a Greater Lord Kusanali and I will die on this hill.

FatalWarrior2026-01-14 00:52

That is actually a good point. I think she used to be taller, and the name changed appropriately.

Might just be a "Mandela effect" deal, though.

AlchemicalWanderings2026-01-14 01:21

So? What's the implied existence of a character we haven't met yet got to do with the story being rewritten?

KucingRumahan2026-01-14 02:31

It means hoyo will be doing a lot of retcon

aqbac2026-01-14 06:19

No no it's because of the translation. Her name is really about going from big to small. There never was a greater lord

Admirable_Register892026-01-14 22:14

Funny enough what your doing right now is a sin in sumeru. You are questioning the origin of words/ etymology which is Ironically strictly forbidden

dearmusic2026-01-14 00:22

NPC detected, stop escaping during server upgrades.

Stop yourself from learning the truth from all the travellers here; it will cause you great pain.

Zombie-Pinya2026-01-14 00:38

Nooo! Must. Learn. Truth. Of. This. World.

UsernameNotYetTaken22026-01-14 00:53

You can try and make fun of it, but you cannot deny, for instance, that what we learn in the early quests about Dainsleif and Khaenri'ah is completely inconsistent with the events we learn in the Rerir quest

Zombie-Pinya2026-01-14 01:42

huh?

Pale_Avocado_32692026-01-14 01:52

Erm if you weren't such a lore skipper it would be obvious that Nahida just lost her memories so Venti didn't count her, and Scara was never supposed to be a harbinger. That's pretty obvious considering he's just a puppet who was wandering Sumeru

Zombie-Pinya2026-01-14 02:43

I bet he's the missing 10th Harbinger.

Pale_Avocado_32692026-01-14 03:12

Omg lore skippers with their theories that have been blatantly disproven dozens of times 🙄🙄 smh

Budget-Emu-13652026-01-14 01:52

Maybe when they make it into a premium game when the game EOS (it never gonna EOS)

-Naver-2026-01-14 02:19

Don't know any Scaramouche. But there's a hat guy named Mochi that's kinda sus.

Zombie-Pinya2026-01-14 02:41

Hat Guy is named Pocholo. Why does everyone I meet seem to have a different name for Hat Guy? Is this Hoyo rewriting Genshin for everyone?

magnidwarf19002026-01-14 02:23

Sure

Darkanglesmyname2026-01-14 02:23

(Slowly deleted paragraph)

Overall_Historian_802026-01-14 02:31

Had me on the first half ngl

Athy_A2026-01-14 02:47

The deletion in Irminsul is actually strong in this one lol

Shahadem2026-01-14 02:50

Yes we know.

Genshin's lore has been retconned more than the history of Oceania.

maxwellreformed2026-01-14 03:03

Had me in the 1st half NGL

Adept_Pitch_74842026-01-14 08:27

Scaramouche? Huh? Don't remember him.

But I do know a guy with a funny hat in Sumeru named chalupa.

Stormer23452026-01-14 08:37

Trueeee you’re so right OP.

On a more serious note tho, I think the story would be quite bad if they planned it out word for word 6-7 years ago and didn’t change a single thing.

SenSnowy2026-01-14 12:57

I hate that I don’t Read it fully first

Kakashi11932026-01-15 05:07

Huh? Nahida was always the dendro archon. What you talking about? She just shrunk in size after using her powers.

And who is scaramouche? Never heard of a fatui harbinger with that name. Is this a sneznaya spoiler I didn't know about?

But on a serious note. Does Columbina remember him? Cause technically she is not from teyvay right with it actively trying to reject her. Haven't started the new AQ, so don't know if she remembers him in the current AQ or not (gonna finish the Narzissenkreuz WQ series today and start the AQ tomorrow).
