Genshin Impact in 2036

The year is 2036. Genshin Impact has just celebrated its 16th anniversary, rewarding its players with 160 primogems and a Sweet Madame as a thank-you (10 primogems for each year). There are 346 characters. Honkai: Star Rail just gave all its players their per-update free 5-Star character voucher. Google Classroom's rating on the app store is 0.2.

I load into my game to do my dailies and spend my resin. I begin at the newest area, Liyue expansion #251. First, I close the 7 birthday mails I've received today. I still don't get why the characters gift *us* on *their* birthdays, but whatever. Today's dailies are to press the button located in the middle of nowhere, kill the hilichurl rogue that's just minding its own business by the river, tell the kid his parents are dead, and water the flowers. Pretty easy, although it turns out the flowers were actually a whopperflower—what a surprise! I go on to spend my resin. I'm currently building Elliot (the new character from the sea of stars; he's actually the Otto Apocalypse expy this time guys I swear he's the real one this time) and need boss materials for him. I teleport to the nearest waypoint and go through the 20-minute parkour course to reach the boss: The Beast of Enigma of Starlight Fortune and Abyss Reverberance Feedback. I wait for its 3 minute flying-invulnerability phase to end before it reaches its 8-second vulnerability window. It dies instantly to C2 Raiden.

The current abyss phase is almost over, so I check a tierlist to see which characters are best. It appears to me that the best team to use for first half would be Meng Yao, the newest geo character (released 8 years ago). Her best team uses Bennett and Xiangling. For second half, I use my Hu Tao team that still somehow clears any and all content without issue. I've had Arknights playing on auto-deploy in the background for the past 6 hours. Life is good.

Illness, Disability and Genshin Impact

I'm a disabled person with chronic physical and mental health issues. Something that I find interesting about Genshin Impact is the way that it discusses chronic illness/mental illness/trauma compassionately, and these themes seem to run through the whole game rather than just coming up every now and then. It hit me fully during Freminet's event, because I really wasn't expecting such a heavy-hitting representation of mental illness, but in hindsight it's been there for a very long time.

Dunyarzad is a character who really spoke to me as a chronically ill person, and as someone who lost a friend to terminal illness. I really enjoyed the focus on her in the story, and I believe her story was the first part of Genshin to make me cry, haha.

It's honestly been surprising to me, as most of the more mainstream media I engage with isn't as respectful when it comes to these topics as Genshin is. But it's really comforting to see these compassionate representations. I'm currently bedbound due to my illness, and I've been spending a lot of my time playing Genshin, so it feels very meaningful to me :)

I also love that Neuvillette uses a cane! I hope that we'll get a wheelchair-using character in Genshin one day. That would mean so much to me!

I'd also love to hear anyone else's thoughts on this topic.

EDIT: Thanks for all of the replies! It's been really nice to read through what everyone's saying! I just wanted to edit to talk about some common things people are saying.

  1. Yes, I know a wheelchair-using playable character would be unrealistic (notice in my original post it doesn't say anything about a wheelchair-using playable character...). I'm still allowed to want whatever I want, and to want to see myself represented in a game I play. It's a bit annoying and hurtful to have people replying saying that it's actually unrealistic to want to see people like me in Genshin.

  2. I am also aware that Neuvillette's cane is for aesthetics. I actually considered mentioning that in the main post, but I under-estimated Reddit's need to correct people... even though the purpose of the cane is for aesthetics, it still makes me happy to see, due to the fact that canes are still mobility aids, and the fact that he has one opens up the opportunity for alternate readings of his character. (Also, everyone saying he doesn't use it to walk: he actually does in some cutscenes. This doesn't change that it's there for aesthetics, I'm just pointing it out)

Genshin Impact is very popular in Russia

Just want to said it because I heard about r/place drama. As a russian myself (even if I'm not living in Russia) I feel ashame for some idiots who are dishonoring my ethnicity. Bratishkinoff is a toxic streamer with an inflated sense of one's own greatness.

Well, Genshin Impact is popular in Russia because it's a some sort of cheap alternative to Breath of the Wild. And many Genshin VK groups have many subscribes. Let's say, many russian zoomers are playing this game. But of course, there are many Genshin haters in this country as fans as well.
