muttthecowcat | Thoughts on Sumeru Arc Genshin Impact

So I finally finished the Sumeru archon quest today ... and wow it's my favorite one yet

******Spoilers ahead so please be aware*****

I feel like it's been the most cohesive storyline so far. In Mondstat - when Venti's gnosis was stolen from him, it didn't really feel like a complete storyline if that makes sense. In Liyue - I really respect Zhongli for retiring but we really didn't see him have much character growth during the quest itself - he started out wanting to retire and finished that way too. The Inazuma story was ... a lot. I felt like we never really got to know Ei like the other archons - she was the antagonist for most of the plot.

But for Sumeru - we're friends with Nahida. She has an entire arc come full circle. She's constantly overshadowed by her predecessor to the point that she almost allows herself to be completely forgotten. And as she learns her own worth and to become her own person - she has to completely let go of and erase GLRD - and learn to stand on her own.

It was just really well done, well written and moving! I thought Venti was my favorite archon but now I'm not so sure anymore.

Anyway, if you've played Genshin, what do you think? (Keep in mind I haven't played through Fontaine yet).
