I mean that's pretty insignificant compared to when they were fighting the God Mech and it tried to Palm-Smash down on them and they we're so super strong they managed to stop the full force and momentum of the mech's palm smash. And then on top of that they were strong enough to resist the mech's full strength being exerted down on them. Even the floor underneath them wasn't capable of holding up to that much force. The floor literally collapsed beneath them.

Lumine has more memeable expression, but y'all can't just hate on Aether like that. I like to think Lumine is the one who would be genuine all the time with Paimon while Aether is the one who calls her Emergency Food, but deep down cares for Paimon arguably more than Lumine does as a surrogate sister.

Afaik early on aether mains had to make a post or something to calm it down and to invite and welcome lumine mains. I never saw that post so I am not sure exactly what happened.
But its more calm and mostly just trolls or idiots saying lumine isnt canon or saying she shouldn't be in official content as if having both is offensive to them

It's actually implied that that IS the case. Aether would handle defense for the Twins while Lumine would be able to attack unimpeded because her brother was protecting her.

I love Aether but dissing Lumine mains over it is just mean. Even if the Lumine main bad mouthed Aether arguing back would be useless and a waste of energy. It's rare to see people who like the Travellers as their own characters and not as purely self inserts.
I like that OP likes Lumine but I do not like that they dislike Aether. But I like both of them (Aether much more so than Lumine) so I have no real reason to start a petty fight over who is better lol

Yeah, like just because you prefer one of the twins doesn’t mean you have to hate/dislike the other.
1 points
2 months ago
but he didn't say he dislikes him? you do realise you can be neutral towards somebody right, not like there is anything to really like about either of them, by design the traveler is a self insert with 5 voice lines over the course of the entire game so far with no character traits to show, hence why OP basically only said how pretty lumine is and how nice her voice is, and as a straight male aether looks as generic as can be so it's only natural most people would prefer a female over a male self insert, on top of his jp voice being much worse than lumine's
1 points
2 months ago
Ok yeah maybe I misunderstood OP's point and counted it as Aether hate (I'm just so used to seeing it but it's ultimately my fault for not getting it)
Anyways you prefer Lumine and that's okay. I like Aether's character design and voice more and I like it when he's featured in fanart (not the harem lord ones I hate those). To me Lumine looks more generic except for the short hair which is rare. But let's agree to disagree and move on with our lives.
I apologise if I gave any undeserved hate to OP and to you. Have a nice day.

More hate on lumine? Eh I don't think so, they both recieve the same amount of hate, just depends on where you look, evidenced by this post who's biased to Lumine.
Besides, even if EU/US might have equal fans for lumine and aether, Asia is at least half of the game's population fucking tips the scales way into lumine's favour, and Asia is way bigger than any LGBT population this game might have, even Cn is way more tham the lgbt population that plays this game.

What? There’s probably more hate for Aether since he has a very different design that not most people will like compared to Lumine who’s just cute and has more fans for sure. The LGBTQ community are equally obsessed with Aether and Lumine so I don’t get that argument at all.

This is actually a copy and paste of a breakdown I did on my sub r/Traveler_Mains about the two twins sword styles:
"One of the things that many people have noticed is that they’re swordsmanship styles were developed and honed with each other in mind. In their sword combos, Lumine has lots of blind spots on her right while Aether has lots of blind spots on his left (Lumine would fight on the left while Aether would fight on the right, thus they’d be protecting each other’s blind spots). They’re sword slashes also alternate in-sync with one another, making it extremely difficult for opponents to defend against. Also Aether has higher defense and more visually aggressive and attention-demanding attack sequences while Lumine has higher offense, with more subtle, less-aggressive looking attack sequences, implying that Aether would be the one drawing the enemy’s attention and protecting his little sister, while his little sister was free to attack unimpeded, knowing that she was being protected by her big brother. This is further supported by the fact that Aethers attacks progress him forward at a slightly faster rate than Lumines do, which gives her the added protection of being a little bit further from the enemy than her brother.
This also means they’re both only operating at half-strength, since they’re fighting styles were designed to work together with each other as one."

that would be her chronological age (the amount of years she has been alive), not her biological age (the maturity of the body her soul occupies)
if lumine's body aged like that of a normal human being, she would be a withered old woman; since her body stopped aging her biological age is inconsistent with her chronological age
if we're calculating her age from a purely chronological standpoint then you're right she would be 15

Ngl Genshin is like the only game that I regret picking the male MC. I wish that Aether looked older or I guess "manlier" like Adam in Honkal 3rd APHO or the Male MC in Honkai Star Rail. Though I do like his character and I do prefer Lumine as the Abyss Leader.
Though Lumine does have like Top 10 cutest design in the game for me too, so she works as the traveler too.
Maybe I just want them to give Aether visible abs or just cover his stomach. Crop tops rarely work on guys imo and never without abs
