Patrick: Happy 5th Anniversary to Genshin Impact.
Aether: It has been 5 years since the game was released.
Paimon: Yeah! And still holds up to this day! And 5 year anniversaries are special!
Lumine: So many players have been playing since the beginning.
Ayaka: It’s also my birthday today since I am the first character to be designed and created for the game by Hoyoverse. Even though I don’t show up until about one year later in 2021.
Patrick: I still remember back in 2020 during the Coronavirus Pandemic when the game first launched. During the night of September 27th the game downloaded and I saw the load in screen. Then the next day on September 28th on the official release date, I dived into the game.
Aether: And you selected me.
Patrick: I did. Because I chose my real gender and I liked your English dub voice. While everyone else chose Lumine.
Lumine: Because they simp to me.
Patrick: Anyways. I remember rolling on Noelle’s beginner banner where I got her and Barbara. Then I got Sucrose. My first 5 star was Mona. Then I got Klee on her first banner. And I still use Klee to this day.
Paimon: What are some of your fondest memories?
Patrick: Some of them are whaling for Eula, the first Lantern Rite, exploring the Golden Apple Archipelago first coming to Inazuma, fighting La Signora’s boss battle and beating her, pulling Ei the Raiden Shogun, exploring Enkanomiya, the music of the area is soothing, exploring underwater in Fontaine, the music underwater is so soothing, pulling Xianyun, and meeting Mavuika.
Aether: Those are great memories.
Patrick: They sure are. Cheers to Genshin Impact’s 5th Year Anniversary
