With each update, Genshin Impact introduces new events to engage players. In version 4.6, players can enjoy five events offering entertainment and rewards. The main attraction, the "Iridescent Arataki Rockin' For Life Tour De Force of Awesomeness," introduces a new instrument, rhythm mini-games, and familiar faces from Inazuma.
The absence of Xinyan, the rock star from Liyue, in this music-themed event is glaring. While Arataki Itto takes the spotlight, his musical abilities are not his defining trait, unlike Xinyan whose persona revolves around rock music. Fans are expressing disappointment and confusion over her exclusion.
Genshin Impact: Exclusion of Xinyan in the Event
The main event in version 4.6 reunites Itto with Dvorak from Fontaine to bring rock 'n' roll to Inazuma. Dvorak's past interactions with characters like Xinyan raise questions about her absence from the new event.
The event heavily features Inazuma characters, sidelining opportunities to showcase talents from other regions like Liyue. While events serve to refresh content, they could also allow character crossovers. Xinyan's omission seems like a missed chance for diversity.
Character Lineup in the Event
- Arataki Itto
- Kuki Shinobu
- Yoimiya
- Heizou Shikanoin
- Yae Miko
- Gorou
Xinyan's Continued Neglect
Despite 82 playable characters in Genshin Impact, some characters receive more attention than others. While Itto has been the focus of multiple events, Xinyan, a rock star character, has been sidelined since the Lantern Rite. The upcoming event misses a chance to highlight her musical prowess.
Featuring Itto in another event raises concerns of favoritism, sparking online complaints. The event's emphasis on Itto overlooks Xinyan, a passionate rock star from Liyue. Fans feel developers missed an opportunity to showcase her unique talents.
