Am I the only one who thinks it makes sense for the traveler's new outfits to not show in any quests yet ?

Like, I keep on seeing everyone complain about it, but idk, to me it makes sense

There's a lore reason why they got the new outfit, it's apart of the latest archon quest, so I don't see why the outfit should appear for other/older quests

It wouldn't even make sense to me, chronologically, the latest quest our travelers went to is the last archon quest, so it would be weird for them to have the new skin in quests that happened BEFORE they even got the skin in lore

At this point Hoyo should just give 1600 Primogems again.

Unlike archon and story quests, most world quests are fixed in a period of time. They are made with the principle that you can do it whenever, especially when most players take a while to uncover them. There are een cases like with caterpillar in which if you havent finished it and go there back way later he will ask you if you were saving the world while gone.

I mean to me it always felt like the archon quests happened after the world quests anyways

Like yeah you can do them whenever you want, but it wouldn't make sense for some player to have them canonically later in their story than other players

I feel like the story for everyone should follow the same timeline, even if you can do the quests technically whenever you want, imo they still have a set timeline

Spieds2026-01-20 15:39

I mean, it's great you feel that way, but that just not the case based on what the game shows? Aside from world quests literally changing dialogue based on your AQ progress (best seen in Fontaine), there's also Natlan act 5 that straight up changes based on your world quest progress.

AQ and SQ have relatively fixed (as in it might be before one question but no relation to the other one), but WQ and now, seemingly, events don't have hard fixtures on when they happen (events closer to SQ and AQ but still)

Also, "it wouldn't make sense for some player to have them canonically later in their story than other players" I don't see why? For canon of that player, it makes total sense, and canons of different players have no relation to each other (same way in RPGs you can do side quests at any point in time)

AntwysiaBlakys2026-01-20 15:46

That is literally the case tho

The skins prove it, it proves the game has a set timeline as you don't have them until after the travelers got them in canon timeline

And no it doesn't make sense ???

It's a game with a set story, having the story be so completely different just defies the entire point of having a set story lmao

Saying it makes sense would be like saying that a player who did the Nod Krai archon quests before the Inazuma ones has a timeline where the traveler actually did that

Like, no, that's just not how things work

The canon timeline still has you go from one nation to another in a certain order, even tho you cal technically do the quests in another order, same goes with other quests

Spieds2026-01-20 16:54

How do skins prove it? Your literal post is about how you think prev. quests shouldn't have skin. The fact that they do have skin previously to quest shows that skin is a mute point. The fact that there are people with dialogues where traveler has skins. Unless you mean pre-rendered cutscenes, in which case it's not a lore point, Hoyo just ain't redoing all cutscenes in the game to include the skin

I'm also not saying there is no timeline, I'm saying world quests are not fixed on that timeline by nature of being accessible whenever AND having differences based on your AQ progress. If they were fixed, for example, there wouldn't be differences since it would assume you already done/not done AQ

Point about Inazuma completely ignores context, as quick start is first, time limited thing, and secondly, specifically mentions skipping parts. World quests already available all the time, but you're the one choosing when to do it, and that choice have consequences. Quick start has no real consequence for the story. Yes, you might see it in different order, but contents of the quests doesn't change cuz of that. When you decide to do WQs in different order, there are consequences, contents of the quest do change (it might not be giant change, it's still change and intended).

Again, to bring up Natlan, by your logic, WQ character either appearing or not in Act 5 is either a bug or just plain bad design, I guess? Cuz why would there be a difference if it was not intended for there to be different ways of playthrough?

Well yeah I agree post Nod Krai quests should have the new outfit, but we don't really have any post Nod krai quests right now

To me the quests that will release starting from now should get the new outfit, not any quests before that

JadedIT_Tech2026-01-20 15:43

Eh, I don't think there needs to be a lore reason in this instance, I just wanna see it all the time.

Especially since the worldquests don't seem to have any strictly defined time period in which they happen.

D-S_122026-01-20 16:28

That point about no specific point something occurred is key. Ultimately the supposed chronological way of doing things is just a suggestion and not a hard rule of how to go about things in the game. There's no reason why the Traveler can't wear that outfit for a story quest released 3 years ago when they already completed Nod Krai to get that outfit.

Humble-Equipment-9562026-01-20 16:07

It's usually trivial to just show whichever fit you currently equipped in a non pre rendered scene, unless their codebase is weird no reason not to just show whatever the individual player chooses, worst case you get some clipping

D-S_122026-01-20 16:26

The world quests and story quests that occur can be interacted with by the player under the assumption that they occurred after finishing Nod Krai. It's why for story quests, they only have people alluding to past quests you needed to complete rather than talking about all the content you just cleared after those minimum required past quests. You can do the whole of Nod Krai and then return to do Sigewinne's story quest without issue. As for world quests, again they are not defined to occur at a specific point in the story, especially when some of these quests can permanently change your world such as with Tsurumi Island and Girdle of the Sands.

But in general, being that Genshin is a single-player game, the chronological nature of the quests related to when they were released is just a suggestion on how each player's progression of the game should be. Nothing is stopping someone from doing the Archon Quests from Mondstadt to Nod Krai and only then doing the story quest for Klee. Overall, that is off chronologically. But for that player, does it really matter when it's their world to begin with? Ultimately the nature of how things progress in that player's world is made by the player. So if they get the new outfit and then play an old quest, it should appear when they have already completed the prerequisite quest to get said outfit and they chose to wear it.

Yes you're the only 1

New-Button-24432026-01-20 16:56

none of this really holds ground when you can have Pyro Traveler doing quests that should've taken place before the Natlan AQ. it really is just hoyo being lazy.

Well, I just did "A Witches Lodge" quest ( opens up Nicole's reputation) and during it the MC's outfit would switch from cutscene to cutscnene between the old one and the new. So I still think there is some technical glitch as well.
