So, I’ve been digging into this whole Genshin Impact thing lately, and let me tell you, it’s a rabbit hole. Today, I wanted to mess around with the Pyro Archon’s Japanese voice lines. You know, just to see what I could do with them.
First, I needed to find out who the heck even voices the Pyro Archon in Japanese. Turns out, there’s not a lot of solid info out there, especially since we only got a little teaser for her. Some folks online are saying she might be two characters in one, which sounds wild. It seems she has both a “Medium Female” and “Tall Female” form. I did stumble upon some concept art from earlier this year that supposedly shows her “Medium Female” design. Cool stuff.
Anyway, I learned that her name is probably Mavuika. At least, that’s what people are calling her for now. She’s supposed to be a 5-star Pyro character who uses a Claymore, and some say she can be a Main DPS or Sub-DPS. Sounds powerful, right?
After that, I went on a hunt for any voice lines I could find. It was slim pickings, honestly. I managed to grab a few clips from some gameplay videos, but nothing substantial. Most of it was just battle grunts and the usual “hya!” and “take this!” kind of stuff. Not exactly what I was hoping for.
I did learn a bit about the whole drama surrounding the English voice actor for Tighnari, though. Turns out, the guy, Elliot Gindi, got fired by HoYoverse because of some serious allegations. He admitted to some messed up stuff with minors in his Discord group. It’s a whole mess, and I’m glad they took action.
Back to the Japanese VA, I also found out that Zhongli’s Japanese voice actor, Tomoaki Maeno, is the permanent host of Genshin Impact’s official broadcast program in Japan. That’s pretty neat, I guess.
So, what did I actually do with the few voice lines I found? Well, not much, to be honest. I tried playing them backward, messing with the pitch, and even running them through a voice changer, just for kicks. It was mostly just silly fun, nothing groundbreaking.
- Started by researching the Pyro Archon’s Japanese voice actor.
- Learned about the character’s name (Mavuika) and her potential dual forms.
- Found a few voice clips from gameplay videos.
- Tried to manipulate the audio in various ways.
- Ended up not doing anything significant with the clips.
Conclusion
In the end, this was more of a casual experiment than anything else. It was cool to learn a bit more about the Pyro Archon, but there’s just not enough out there yet to do anything truly interesting with her voice lines. Maybe once we get more info, I’ll revisit this and see if I can come up with something more creative. Until then, it was a fun little dive into the world of Genshin Impact’s voice acting.
