NATLAN Drip Marketing REACTION | Genshin Impact

Kinich is definitely who I’m most interested in. The techy dendro characters are the coolest in my eyes, and Kinich seems no different with how Ajaw looks

I love how fresh these designs look. I'm very happy that we didn;t get the borig stereotypical Amazonian tribal designs most other media uses when they take inspiration from Mesoamerican cultures. XD Also really love the dynamic poses, thy're so full of energy/life, and personality, Can;t wait to pull for them.

That drip is fire 🔥

Actual mayan here, I love Kinich's motifs and I am loving his pixelated companion. The color they put him in the splash art is better than the one they put in trailer so all good, I'm totally pulling for him.

As a new player I'm speed running to get to Natlan. Still wish most of the cast was a bit more darker. Considering where the inspiration comes from.

I’m pulling for all of them, but I’m getting primos from playing the game, not swiping. Hopefully I can get at least 2 of 3 of them. There’s so much lore in their introductions, can’t wait to see it in practice

Skin color and representation issues aside, as character designs they do look really nice. Darker skin would've been nice to contrast Mualani and Kachina's bright colors, but sadge. Big fan of the new style of drip marketing with the splash art. I agree with the sentiments against Hoyoverse, but as someone with more pressing personal matters to worry about I'm just not interested in jumping into the drama hellhole that's just gonna tire me out more.

3:11 This is what I’ve been saying!! He looks like a Kingdom Hearts character!!!

I'm from Mexico, and while I'm a white passing mexican I Stull now that mpre than 70% of the population in Latam has from tanned, to dark, to black skin. The characters should be made to represent said conditions, I know I'm nor fighting for myself, but for some of my closest friends who have a darker skin that me, they should get the representation they deserve

Remember Sumeru? Nothing will happen.

6:46 I take it that means she will shows on the mini-map the unique materials of Natlan when in party. It's about time to see Sumeru characters in other Nation again. I REALLY hope to see Cyno in Natlan this time, might be an opportunity to come up with dragon jokes.

Any character designer would cringe looking at how pretty much every character is either paper white or been in the sun for 5 minutes tan 💀

The longer this issue gets discussed the more I become convinced that whoever above the creative team is in charge in finalizing everything is interfering with the designers. It's been noted that these designs and Sumeru's too look naturally better when the characters have darker skin, plus in Sumeru they showed they can incorporate it but it was only NPCs and mobs, which would also make sense if it's a higher up issue because at this point is it really a coincidence that the only characters with substantial melanin are also the only ones they can't make money off of? Not to mention with the design aspect (see above) i highly doubt they'd make all these designs that are clearly meant for darker skin only to go "LMAO but we're not actually gonna give them melanin" like no that would just be really stupid tbh. I haven't spent any money this patch and am trying to refrain as long as possible, but I do wonder how much it'll help realistically, unless the turnout for this financial boycott going on is large enough and/or people's frustrations reach as far up the ladder as they need to go.

I maybe gonna pull Kinich, because i need dendro. + In the teaser i see how he grapling. So maybe he has some mobility.

Though, I wish they would share more diversity with their skin tones, especially when they taking from a real cultures. But I always know they're going to be talented fans who will make incredible fan ocs that will! They fix mountain shaper and Moon carver.

I will pull for Kinich, and I’m also waiting for Xilonen, she’s beautiful. And local Himeko, for the complete collection.

i cant wait for this, and I cant wait for hsr live event w/ the huge general

What really irks me is the development team CLEARLY researches different cultures to influence each region in meticulous detail - music, architecture, wildlife, plants, architecture, food, fashion, names, etc. But then they insist on making all of the characters light-skinned. Obviously, not EVERYONE in a given region is going to be dark-skinned, but by the same logic, not everyone should be light-skinned either.

It's a shame that the character not have a darker skin I think it might be because they too focus on what design the majority of chinese would prefer and spend their money, And I know they won't change it because if they really care about our complain about this topic Sumeru would be difference a long time ago.

It's unfortunate that the new characters aren't a bit darker ( they don't need to be super super dark to somewhat appease the eastern(chinese) audience) I mean, look at Kaeya for goodness sake.) But I hope none of the voice actors are penalized for giving their opinions. All the love and support CYYU!!
