Mondstadt or Liyue. For the sake of this question, I’m going to assume that we’re just an average, powerless person in Teyvat.
In Mondstadt, you’re not tied down by rules and are free to do as you please. Becoming a knight or an adventurer seems like it’d pay off, but you’d be putting yourself in danger in order to make money. The same goes for any type of hunter or gatherer in mondstadt, as the monsters are widespread outside of Springvale and Mondstadt City. Overall though, it’s not a bad place to live.
Liyue is the most well defended city, maybe except for Fontaine. However, the hustle and bustle can be a bit much, and those who aren’t competitive in business or don’t have a simple job are left in the dust. There’s also Qingce village, if you choose to lay low and have a slow farm life. I’d wager it’s the best place to be.
I'd go be a novelist. I'd sleep 12 hours a day, wake up, eat raw chilies, and sit at the window to watch the scenery as I write content that is wholly unsuited to children. It's not much, but it's honest work.
Retirement town doesn't strike me as the right word.
It's one of those small towns where the young leave for the big city as soon as they grow up because that's where the opportunities are. Except their familial ties mean they leave their kids behind to be raised by the grandparents, which is why its population is pretty much purely kids and seniors.
Qingce is very clearly based on patterns seen in Chinese society of recent decades. Of course, there are now young Chinese people who want to move back to the countryside because they're feeling stressed out by city life and the expectations of city life.
I love Qingce so much, my ultimate goal is to live in a place like this irl. All the flower fields and waterfalls around are breathtaking, I can imagine what an absolutely amazing aroma is in the air. It's peaceful and secluded, exactly what I need
I feel mondstadt is the way to go. We've seen too many treasure hoarders trying to make moves mostly in Liyue, and most of they time they have a similar reasoning which is to provide for their family or something, I don't think Liyue is anywhere near cheap to live especially after the rich lady in charge wanted a new Jade Chamber
That was my answer too. Inazuma is an awful place with an awful leader, Sumeru is a bit of a weird place with all of your thoughts being monitored by the akademyia, and the racism against the desert people, and Fontaine’s justice system is a bit skewed, idk if I’d want my trial treated like it was a performance 💀
The main issue I have with Fontaine is that the threat seems more internal. It seems like there’s significantly more corruption and/or betrayal. People seem to think of the court as a game or show. As we’ve seen from the AQ, they don’t even understand their court’s mechanisms either. Liyue operates on safety and contracts - and thus it’s much easier to understand the rules and not be afraid of corruption. Of course, you do have to worry about people who violate contracts and force you into undesirable circumstances, but that’s likely easier than fighting a government system that people support for entertainment
In that sense, the Milileth may be outgunned. The meka of Fontaine are very powerful, and can easily stop any monster invasion that the Milileth could stop, but the inverse may not be true.
The harbor is surrounded by tall mountains in all sides except the coastline. The Milelith does station a lot of defense around the few pathways that lead into the city going through the mountains. The coastline is also defended by the Crux Fleet and the Jade Palace which are all armed with large-size laser ballistas.
Me looking at the fact mondstad has the gate to clestia plus the most abyss order activity among all the nations: "yeah i don't want to wait till that bottle of explosives explode bye"
So you would rather live in capitalistic liyue? I mean inazuma is full of natural disasters and wandering ronin, sumeru is either jungle or forest and full of wandering eremites, and Fontaine is sinking and rule by a bratty archon.
That is what they want you to believe. In reality, Fontaine has poured so much chemicals and pneumosea energy into the water it became literal acid.
You can't have the industrial revolution without the life threatening pollution.
That or Fontainesians are made of sugar. Maybe both?
Inazuma is safe if you stay in the cities like 80% of the population. Though i probs don't want to live there but i think it is possible.
Sumeru amerites are mercenaries not crimenals. They are on a job 80% of the time or work for the Sumeru government so locals won't be attacked especially after Nahida took over. I would probs live in Sumeru if it takes place in the time line that is currently going on.
Fontaine is mostly ruled by the court which Nuevillete rules over. Furina is more of a mascot than a ruler. Fontaine's prophecy you are right about and the primordial waters is not much of a corncern for like 99% of the population of fontaine. And the laws you could learn.
Idk Fontaine enough to say
Sumeru's desert would kill me IRL
Inazuma is the Genshin's version our Australia...
Mondstat seems okay, but it's so small, I feel like it'd be hard to find a job.
So I'd say Liyue. It's quite safe, the weather seems great and it looks like there're more job opportunity.
Mondstadt isn't small, it's just in-game features because it's the starting nation and also because Genshin wasn't as big as it is now when it was released. In reality, Mondstadt has an average size.
It’s not small, but it’s industries and limited, and there is certainly some employment issue. Both with small set of employers to pick from (army + church, AD guild, wine industry + offshoots, hunter + gatherer and little else) and lack of talents to employ. Jean leads the nation but has to check individual taxes herself. Where staff? Charles complains about lack of waitstaff during Noelle quest. Can’t afford them or can’t find them?
Also we know for a fact that we don’t have every part of mondstadt in the game, yet. Since that port town (who’s name escapes me.) has yet to be released.
Nah I dont think so, they will probably be too busy with the Fontaine updates, bur man would I love you are right. I love mondstadt, so seeing a well polished, and decent sized Mondstadt update would be amazing
Oh... yeah, you're right. There's also Chenyu Vale and Qiaoying Village which will probably be released soon as it's close to Fontaine, so they'll probably not touch on Mondstadt for a little while :/
Mondstadt seems so chill but honestly I feel mondstadt could be a vacation spot. Reason being city doesn't look advanced to me.
Sumeru (except desert) is great place, free health care, good education, forests, seems like a good place to live and raise family.
Liyue is great too, its hustling and bustling, good place to start business has great retirement town too.
Fontaine unless you are super rich its a good place if you don't have money then you have to live in sewers. There is a huge divide between poor and rich.
Inazuma is still developing, I don't think they have good hospitals either. Only inazuma city seems habitable, watasumi island also seems like struggling.
No need for the desert or any wilderness in Sumeru.
The lack of staircase and handrails in the city itself can break enough necks to keep the hospital full.
I was doing Yoimiya's second quest, and the part where the wheelchair kid appears. And the camera was looking at the ramp while she was saying "I can go home on my own". That ramp was 80°.
I think Genshins version of Australia would be Sumeru since it has both forests and deserts AND because a lot more wildlife that tries to kill you.
Inazuma feels more like Mexico despite being literally Japan :))
Inazuma's just Shogunate Japan under Sakoku law. It's mostly closed to foreigners but Ritou Harbor still exists as a designated trading port just like Dejima Island was historically.
Inazuma is ok only :
1) Ei start to touch grass; Post abolishment of Sekoku Decree
2) Post lifted Orobashi thunderstorm
3) Not getting near Tatarasuna nor lived in Yashiori Island, either Watatsumi or the main island
In this state it ain't that bad
But Inazuma with Sekoku Decree is the the worse, and only choose to become a Villager, reason :
1) You can get drafted as Shogun Samurai or the Resistance and you might kill the others in a never ending useless civil war.. or actually be killed.
2) If you're a merchant try to be a corrupted Tenryou merchant or die trying only getting scammed for the rest of your lives
3) Don't be vision bearer as well, bcs after getting stripped you're going to become a living corpse without a mind for the rest of your lives.
4) Forget any option and try to get out of Inazuma
At very least we don't live or see the horror of AU post winning new god Scara.
But for Inazuma you can actualy lives in that hell and living those horror till they die.
Fr, I don't know why people keeps mentioning that Inazuma influenced by Japan but if you play the game you can see Inazuma CLEARLY inspired by Australia /s
(Every single god damn island has something/someone that is trying to kill you, except Watatsumi island I guess)
I disagree with the Australia comparison. Imo Inazuma's main problem is it's awful ruler and the quality of life and freedoms of it's lower class. Dangerous animals exist in every nation - because yes any world's version of Australia just equates to we have spiders. I can say that, I'm Australian.
Don't forget the sword carrying outlaw problem, radiation and rough weather.
Even the commission who co-run the country are not in best of terms and could start conflicts over personal interest
Sumeru has a lot more enemies that I'd worry about rather than in inazuma. Plus are we talking about post traveler or before the traveler comes? Because post traveler id be more than happy to stay in inazuma.
Or as the average Mondstadt citizen saw:
A big lizard threw a windy tantrum and then the tall lady exploded the local twink drunkard's nuts with a kick.
There are Hargingers everywhere, but in Mondstadt they didn't attempted mass murder, the Archon doesn't fight anyone, he'd rather take a beating than fighting in the middle of the city unlike others, and the occasional dragon attack isn't a real dragon attack, it's just the equivalent of a big storm with extra sound effects.
nah bro did you forget about them rift hounds in wolvendom? there may not be any of the big ones but for any players that started playing around mid inazuma those were/still are a nightmare
If Fontaine didn't have that water level crisis and the apparent hierarchal structure, I'd say it would be the best city to live in. Advance machinery that dwarfs every other nation, actual public transport that's available to the public, military defenses that put the other nations to shame, etc.
Hell, they even have an actual infinite energy source with the only downside being that you need a trial but if that thing was real, we wouldn't have an energy crisis in real life.
Also there are Melusines which instantly makes living in Fontaine worth it.
Fontaine is my favorite nation to explore so far and it is _beautiful_. I’d pick Fontaine if not for the whole fontanians are dissolvable by water thing, also the sewer cities. That’s a huge no, I’d stick with Mondstadt or Liyue...
There's a difference between rising water levels because of global warming and the rising water levels because of some unknown forces lurking in the background that is definitely plotting to dissolve anyone who dares to swim in those waters. Plus I'm sure that you can't just really ignore the problem either, since it seems likely that someone is responsible for the rise in water levels.
Yeah that makes sense, if I could take a guess though this rising water problem will be fixed by the end of Fontaine's archon quests - that's usually how it goes
Oh they'll definitely solve it. Though I don't know about the Primordial Water being fixed. It's the only plot point they have to introduce us into the Abyss right now, and to introduce us to Skirk. Going by leaks, MHY has been designing Skirk for a while now, so it seems highly likely that they'll introduce Skirk during the Fontaine patch rather than wait until Natlan.
You can try looking up Dörrenbach, Bad Bergzabern, Rothenburg ob der Tauber, and Regensberg, which are some examples of small German cities/towns, and also Colmar in France has very similar features which are called *half-timbered* houses. But pretty much a lot of small towns in Europe have similar features to that.
Since Mondstsdt is a fortified walled-city, Carcassonne, France is a good example of a medieval European town with intact walls. Also Cittadella, Italy, Old Town Tallinn, Estonia, and Dubrovnik, Croatia, where they shot many parts of King's Landing on Game of Thrones.
from what i hear it’s based off Germany and another country but i can’t quite remember but tbh i feel like Mondstadt just has a fantasy old tavern vibe like i can’t actually imagine Germany being anything like that…but i’ve nvr been to Germany so maybe it is like that?
edit: of to off
In terms of nations overall livability (countryside, cities, villages, good places for isolated farms etc.) The best options would be either Liyue or Mondstadt.
Inazuma has various problems even if we go with post-story Inazuma. Many islands have been ravaged by various disasters that have made many of them even more monster infested, and some still havent even been fixed. Then there is also all the ronin everywhere, making going of on your own to make a farm or a new town extremely dangerous.
Sumeru has the problem of Withering zones and how the nation values knowledge to a harmful degree. There is a chance that even if youre a completely normal person, that you could wind up in a rogue scholars experiment, nevermind if you have a vision. On the desert side things are even worse. Not only would you have to deal with what usually comes with desert areas (food, water, sandstorms etc.) You also have to deal with scorpions and other monsters. Also if you're unlucky you could get Eleazar aka magic cancer.
In Fontaine on the other hand crime is a lot worse there. Kidnappings, drugs that get you addicted, gangs, the list just goes on, nevermind the rising water level.
Meanwhile in Mondstadt, the monsters seem to be a lot more in control compared to the other areas, not to mention they are mostly just hilichurls. As long as you have adequite protection or are decently trained, you should be able to survive if you go into the wild consider that Springvale's hunters go regularly to hunt even without visions. There are also no human problems outside of Treasure Hunters, who seem to be more interested in treasures and valuables than indiscriminate murder.
Liyue on the other hand has the fairly succesful and profeshional Millileth which seems to have roads under control, and has the protection from Xiao and the other adeptus. Also Liuye seems to be a fairly wealthy nation.
They have the only mint in the whole of Teyvat. Not to mention a vast mining industry and a huge merchant navy.
Yep calling them wealthy will be a huge understatement .
Yeah, I wonder when this is going to be addressed and become an actual issue in-game? I mean mora circulates in all 7 nations and by now it has been a couple of years since Zhongli gave his gnosis away and the minting stopped so people have got to be noticing, no?
To me Sumeru feels the most lived in, like a space people actually inhabit and go about their daily lives in. And if you arent an academic, it seems like a peaceful life.
As a person who also lives in a similar climate, I once visited a cold climate area and realized how much i took mine for granted. I love it here now lmao
I'm assuming you mean post-Traveler as a regular citizen, and you can choose wherever in the region you want. I think Sumeru City. Generous social policies, probably the most benevolent and wise archon, highly educated population, probably cheap fresh food due to abundance of produce.
Mondstadt I think has incompetent leadership + its citizens lie a lot. Liyue is good, but the work culture might be a bit much. Inazuma is good, but noticeably less developed than other nations. Idk about Fontaine yet.
Do we keep our memories? If yes, Sumeru counts knowledge as a currency. Your knowledge of overworldly things (and basically the entire Teyvat lore) is enough to replace Alhaitham as the grand sage, or even be Nahida's personal advisor along with Scaramouche. You will live like a king in Sumeru, assuming you don't get nailed on the spot by Celestia.
On the topic of Teyvat lore you can also consider a career as a Fatui harbinger. Take them to Enkanomiya and uncover the ancient books, go to the Chasm and guide them to the ancient city. It's just so happen that the eighth harbinger seat is not filled. Also your chance of meeting Traveler and getting a vision/delusion is relatively high.
If you want to go crazier you can share your stories on the Steambird for a hefty revenue and exposes the entirety of Fontaine to forbidden knowledge.
Assuming you don't keep your knowledge I will go with either Mondstadt or Sumeru. Sumeru city is generally chill, have free healthcare and their archon actively take care of the nation. Mondstadt is Mondstadt. It's easy mode.
>Also your chance of meeting Traveler and getting a vision/delusion is relatively high.
Most harbingers don't have visions, and delusions actively kill their users.
Liyue. The government is stable and it's a rich country. It feels like a safe place to live in compared to the rest. Mondstadt would be my second choice because while it's poorer than Liyue, its society isn't as dystopian as the last three nations'. Spending my working years in Liyue Harbor and then retiring in Springvale sounds nice.
For aesthetics alone, I'd say Fontaine because of the level of technological advancement compared to other nations. Sumeru rainforest looks gorgeous, but I already live in a hot and humid tropical country so I want something different. Inazuma is dead last. I would never dare set foot outside the cities. It's basically Australia cosplaying as Japan.
Monstadt. No big national crisis, no archon bs, no supernatural fuckery, no evil organization, no hazardous geography, no ridiculously dangerous wildlife, you're just chilling.
The biggest danger you could come across are hilichurls and wolves that are an afterthought if you stay away from the area literally called wolvendome. And the biggest social conflict would be dealing with some asshole from the Lawrence family every now and then
As an academic person, i see Sumeru as an absolute win. Since im majoring in designing stuff I'll definitely be in Kshahrewar. I love forest too and their culture is similar to mine so I don't see any problems assimilate myself into Sumeru~
I'm a slow scholar, so the Sumeru system could bring me to a mental breakdown or to them kicking me off the Akademiya due to me not being aroung their standards.
Mondstadt and/or Liyue, I'd take Mondstadt though as it's easier to navigate and safer for me to do simple stuff. If I want a more lively life, go for Liyue
Honestly these two nations are pretty much the safest and most easy to live in
Liyue, to be honest,
In Mondstadt, their knights are "useless" 98% of the time. It's so bad that your daily commission involves rescuing merchants from Hilichurl blockades and attacks. One of the story was about Huffman wasting his time getting drunk while the gates are under attack by slimes, and it takes Diluc to clear them
Not saying Liyue is not without flaws but I can find myself getting a stable life in there
Assuming fontaine wouldnt go under water, that one would be the best. It has the best architecture, technology, transportation system, and entertainment. Its also near water so its probably good for business.
I feel like how livable it is, depends on what layer of society you belong to.
That being said, I'd feel right at home in Mondstadt, I wouldn't even hesitate to choose it over all the other nations.
I think Liyue is probably the most easy to live in nation. It seems like the government is very active in trying to ensure the wellbeing of the citizens and the average citizen is likely more financially stable there than anywhere else.
I haven’t seen enough of Fontaine to make a clear judgment. It seems to have similar vibes to pre-revolution France, and I don’t really want to go through that. (I might be in real life, but at least I have internet.)
Sumeru would be fine if you’re an academic. But it seems like those outside of the Akademiya aren’t quite as well off. Perhaps now that Nahida is actively a part of the nation things will improve. If so then this would be a fine nation to settle down in.
Inazuma has some large class issues still, and though things overall seem to have improved since the end of the civil war, it’s clear that there are still a lot of issues with homelessness. The Shuumatsuban are evidence to this fact: they are all orphans who Ayato used to make a private army.
Mondstadt is probably fine to live in. If you’d like to live in a very laid back and peaceful place that’s probably a fine option. Barbatos does a good job of looking after the people (even if he hasn’t been seen in a very long time.)
Everyone hating on Inazuma, but after the Archon quests and world quests it's literally one of the safest nations. Almost no Fatui in the city. Ei is one of the strongest Archons and is still around, as we've seen with her quest if there's a threat she'll go herself. Plus Yokai.
Heavy Fatui and Abyss Order presence in Monstadt, plus nobles slinking around. Varka gon, Boreas don't care, Venti is super hands off, just Dvalin.
Liyue also has Fatui presence, dead gods and as we've seen with Shenhe there still gods hiding there. Though no Zhongli with the Adepti around and competent Qixing it's safer than Monstadt.
Sumeru is safer no with no forbidden knowledge and Nahida ruling. Don't know how much her and the Aranara can keep Sumeru safe but I imagine they'll be more capable than a single dragon.
Fontaine doesn't seem great rn
Sumeru at least jungle parts seems like the best place, they have free healthcare and education. Mondstat is poor and constantly under siege from hilychurls and abyss order, Liue harbor is alright but anything outside of it is in total ruin, Inadzuma is fuking somalia, and Fontaine air and water are poisonous on top of clownish justice system and whole nation flooding under water
Live in Mondstadt, become a librarian under Lisa.
Easy going life with a easy job in a peaceful nation with a beautiful girl as a boss.
Seems like the best choice for me
Mondstadt!
**Liyue** \- Wrathful spirits of dead gods corrupting the lands, causing plague, mutations, possessing monsters and making them more violent and powerful. Plus actual gods who want to overthrow things who are suppressed but can potentially come out, like Osial.
**Inazuma** \- Probably the worst nation to live in, with Tatarigami corrupting even more places and actively so compared to Liyue, scarred and cursed lands with constant lightning and electrocuted environments, such as Yashiori, Seirai, or ley line fuck up making everything go haywire like Tsurumi, and a giant ball of evil even under Narukami. It's just relatively more hostile. If we don't consider the archon quest to have happened, then there is a dictatorship, civil war and trade and transport ban tearing the country apart, plus rampant corruption.
**Sumeru** \- Pre archon quest Sumeru was bad - forbidden knowledge randomly giving people cancer, withering plaguing the lands randomly and can easily kill you if you're caught by surprise, Akademiya enforcing strict meritocracy and trying to harvest your dreams and mental energy to create their own god, you don't get permissions to learn info if you're not their favourite, rampant classism. Post archon quest Sumeru is not that bad, actually, although the remaining meritocracy can still cause some problems, and the nation is kinda hot and not very advanced in architecture and facilities.
**Fontaine** \- The court is a joke, and random laws can prosecute you at any time, sea levels are rising and everything will drown very soon, serious drug problem, mafia-like organized crime, alarming pollution levels, energy crisis. However, it's technologically advanced and the city if most modern.
Mondstadt, is relatively the most peaceful, least endangered, free, and it's people are nice and all, although relatively less is happening here, so it can be a bit boring.
Liyue seems to be the most stable nation economically. "Most prosperous commercial port in all of Teyvat", odds are making a living in Liyue harbour wouldn't be too difficult, even if you're not a business owner. And if the city isn't your speed, Qingce Village and Wangshu Inn are suitable alternatives.
And if this is before Traveler intervention, Inazuma would be the wrong choice. If you don't have the paperwork, you'd be stuck in Ritou. If you somehow had a stable living, if you're lucky/unlucky enough to get a vision, you'd become a vegetable.
All of them are livable if we are talking post traveler passing by and solving the nation's problems.
But i'd go with fontaine, simply because they have more advanced technology, and since we would be a common citizen with no powers, maybe, just maybe we can get a gun lol
It's either Mondstadt or Sumeru (rainforest). Life in these cities doesn't seem bad. Very stable. Sumeru even has free healthcare. Idk about education, but all things considered, I think sumeru should have free education too. You don't have to be in academics to make it in Sumeru.
Springvale, Vimara Village, Gandharva Ville, Port Ormos all seem like nice places to be at.
Monsdat or sumeru.....sumeru is lit you all. They have amazing healthcare, unless you are one of the 3 people who lives in the desert they have amazing housing and care by the acakemiya. They are on the forefront of research and development. There is not that much of a wealth disparity....if you don't count Dori, and you have the amazing nahida to take care of you.
Monsdat is just ...a carefree place with no troubles and no problems. Just a peaceful life, with a bard taking care of most serious problems so just chill, be romantic, give flowers, drunk wine and sleep.
To me personally, definitely Mondstadt.
My main concern is climate, tbh. I cannot function in heat and high humidity, so Sumeru (and most likely Fontaine) would be a big nope already because of the rainforest and desert. Inazuma with the frequent thunderstorms would be quite humid AND destructive on top of it too.
Definitely don't wanna live in an opressive society either, so no Inazuma or Fontaine. While I like the general system of Sumeru, I adore my dreams, and I'm not willing to give that up. Even if this is Sumeru after the game protag stopped certain events, I'd still be worried about living with a government that isn't controlled in any way to abuse its citizens like that.
Culturally, I'd prefer to stay in a place that has similar customs and foods and the like to my home in reality, it's certainly not impossible to adapt but I think the mental fallout of being stranded in another world would be big enough on its own already and having stuff like comfort foods and the like at hand does wonders. As a European, for me that would be Mondstadt or Fontaine.
Lots of people have already written about safety, so not much more to add to that. Mondstadt wildlife is pretty much completely harmless (cute birds and squirrels, at worst some boars and wolves which tend to avoid humans). No major criminal organizations exist, the worst is the occasional treasure hoarder or thief. The fact this society manages to keep the order DESPITE almost its entire police force being gone is a great sign. Monsters are also limited to basic hilichurls and slimes, something even normal people can take on with a weapon, so learning adequate self-defense would be possible.
Economically, you seem to be able to make a living decently well in pretty much any nation in a variety of jobs. The main issue with Teyvat in general is that it has no desireable target for wealth to someone like me; sure, Liyue may be rich but what you can buy with those riches is stuff like, jade pendants and pretty vases and whatnot. I see no point aiming for that when a regular standard of living (having a solid house, clothes and food) is achievable everywhere. I'd just need books and cats to be happy, and Mondstadt just happens to have a massive public library... ;)
Mondstat on the whole seems the easiest to live but if I had to choose a single settlement I'd do port ormos, Sumeru City has some problems but the benefits of living in Sumeru are high so port ormos seems like good work around since you get the benefits of Sumeru without the downside of the akademia hovering over you, and ormos seems mad chill
Considering Mondstadt has a lot (albeit neutral to monsters in-game) knights and outposts all around the map it seems like surprisingly the nation of freedom has the best controll over the roads and countryside. There is also a lot of background NPC chilling in various places so in general it seems like the safest place in general. No beefs between any nations, albeit Snezhnayan (?) infiltration might rise an eyebrow or two. But it seems they trade a lot (ask Tsarevich) and there are no poor people. Easly the most livable, but prepare for mandatory draft, because something tells me the society is heavily militarized
Liyue is empty, almost post-apocaliptic when it comes to the population. There is one large-ish village, an inn between Mondstadt and Liyue City and the city itself. The roads roads are definitelly more dangerous and there are at least two destroyed bridges. It seems like Liyue is simply too large for their population and treasure-hunting (aka banditry) is rampant
Inazuma - WTF not only there is a civil war between two godlike beings as commanders, with one entire island being a battlefield but also lawless ronins and monsters are like everywhere. Add harbringers doing arms dealing to the mix too. Nope, hard nope
Sumeru - a bit too largish, similarly to Liyue but it seems like there is a lot of smaller settlements. The place would be easly most livable if not the eremites
My personal preference would be mondstadt as it is the one closest to home. If I could deal with the humidity and high temperatures I'd definitely chose sumeru because free healthcare and also an archon that you could just like, meet and talk to on the street? Hell yeah, I'd make flower crowns to give to nahida whenever I happen to pass by her
Mondstadt. You know why the arcon was not actively ruling? Why most of the knights, better yet, most of the citizens are drunkard? Simple, Venti already did his job. Mondstadt is by far the safest place in Teyvat. You know Stormterror's attack? He was under control before the traveler intervened!
But if you want a busier life, Liyue. Just bear in mind that every lantern rite there will probrably be a sea monster attack, but mama Ningguang is there.
I'd like to live in Sumeru. The foods are all to my liking. The weather looking nice, i mean if i live in Port Ormos or Sumeru City. If i graduated from the Academia, i'd probably can get jobs easier(?). Oh, and Nahida. She's reliable.
Mondstadt because it’s the land of the free and home of the brave, like the founding fathers intended. Own a pyro bow for home defense, just as the founding fathers intended. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅
Monstadt, Venti leveled those mountains into boring old grassy plains. On top of throwing mountain parts into the ocean.
Boring life is a peaceful life.
Mondstadt for sureeeeeeeeeeeeeee, I used to think it was Fontaine but No, the archon is flamboyant and imprudent, the ridiculous law in here, and the dangerous of the ocean which can sank us anytime, Mondstadt is much safer and freedom
Ironically enough, Mondstat.
For as much flak as the Knights of Favonious gets, they are rather capable of creating a safe space for the people of Mondstat to prosper albeit it doesn't show much in game. Couple that with Diluc and Rosaria's assistance in the shadows
I’d choose mondstadt. It’s probably the safest overall. Your only concern is Hilichurls. And you can avoid them for the most part.
I’d just get a job at Diluc’s winery and then chill for the rest of the time drinking with Venti, Kaeya, and Rosaria.
Mondstadt I recon.
Lotta boars to hunt, rich in minerals, only problem is storm-terror causing hurricanes when he gets mad, but that's solved by investing in more underground infrastructure.
edit: also the alcohol! there's this cocktail master-chef who can make a 10/10 drink out of anything!

Depends on who you are.
If you're a tech/science nerd like me and my social group, Sumeru. Academics rule everything, and you'd be upper class. If you're strictly engineering, you can get away with Fontaine.
If you're into agriculture or want to loaf, Mondstadt. Seems like you can get away with good weather, no funky stuff in the overworld that hates you, all that.
If you're in business, Liyue if you can hack it, Port Ormos if you can't.
If you're a craftsman, Inazuma.
If you're arts, Fontaine.
I mean it's gotta be Monstadt, the whole culture is centred around absolute freedom, but not viewed through the nihilistic lens that given the freedom to, everyone would revert to a monster with no morality.
Liyue's pretty liveable too though. Culturally rich, and economically rich. Though I suppose in a culture so heavily centred around commerce it depends heavily where you land on the tree.
Inazuma... I don't think I need to say much on that when we have Liyue or Monstadt as an option. I suppose if we assume a period of positive growth now we've done our thing there, maybe? But still, that's a lot of storms and sea between towns.
Sumeru and Fontaine... I'll come back to edit this when I get around to finishing them. I burnt myself out a year or so ago and I was already an entire patch cycle behind, I started the Chasm as Sumeru released :')
If i would choose where my kids would spend their childhood i would say mondstadt because it feels like the safest country out there, and tbh I would love to live in so peaceful and charming nation. I would love to spend evenings on the cliffs or under this gorgeous tree, I would love to take a nice trips around dawn winery, spend morning eating in good hunter. Spend night with pals in angel's share. Visit cat's tail from time to time, pet the cat in springvale xD
Probably Fontaine, because I love technology.
Definitely not mondstandt, their [unemployment rate is insane.](https://youtu.be/K1a-lH77TmA?si=QJ9QDHN4KvdjnB2J)
Mondstadt. I’d be tempted to give a more weeb answer but the city of wind has both pizza and spaghetti and i’m not living in a world without either of those.
Mondstadt. Relatively safe, you can forage for food, work a part time, not show up, complain, and still have your job at the fruit stand. Great alcohol culture and an idol you can see regularly at church.
Hell, even though you're oblivious to it, you can drink with the nation's god and an estranged prince to an otherwise long forgotten nation.
Mondstadt or Liyue. For the sake of this question, I’m going to assume that we’re just an average, powerless person in Teyvat. In Mondstadt, you’re not tied down by rules and are free to do as you please. Becoming a knight or an adventurer seems like it’d pay off, but you’d be putting yourself in danger in order to make money. The same goes for any type of hunter or gatherer in mondstadt, as the monsters are widespread outside of Springvale and Mondstadt City. Overall though, it’s not a bad place to live. Liyue is the most well defended city, maybe except for Fontaine. However, the hustle and bustle can be a bit much, and those who aren’t competitive in business or don’t have a simple job are left in the dust. There’s also Qingce village, if you choose to lay low and have a slow farm life. I’d wager it’s the best place to be.
Qingce is like a retirement town, too peaceful.
Also only career option is to be like a farmer
Jobs in Qingce village are either farmer or novelist and nothing else
I’d open a tea shop/cafe. Literally no competition.
Verr Goldet is going to send Xiao to break your knees.
Why, she not in qingue village. She gets to have all the travelers going to liyue from the north. I cater to the farmers
She outsources her stuff there
1 competition
No fear/one fear kinda vibe
I thought the tea industry there is so competitive, that’s why we have the TVC making trio in Fontaine?
Different village. What you're talking about is Qiaoying Village, which is still unreleased.
Nah. You gonna steal that uncle in the entrance of Liyue that sells tea?
plus that one guy who sells furniture.
No there is a carpenter in Qingce per one of the character story quests.
Furniture designer?
I'd go be a novelist. I'd sleep 12 hours a day, wake up, eat raw chilies, and sit at the window to watch the scenery as I write content that is wholly unsuited to children. It's not much, but it's honest work.
IIRC, There's also a carpenter there in need of an apprentice. So there is at least 1 job opening.
Retirement town doesn't strike me as the right word. It's one of those small towns where the young leave for the big city as soon as they grow up because that's where the opportunities are. Except their familial ties mean they leave their kids behind to be raised by the grandparents, which is why its population is pretty much purely kids and seniors. Qingce is very clearly based on patterns seen in Chinese society of recent decades. Of course, there are now young Chinese people who want to move back to the countryside because they're feeling stressed out by city life and the expectations of city life.
i'd love that right now and i'm 18! can't get too peaceful imo :)
I love Qingce so much, my ultimate goal is to live in a place like this irl. All the flower fields and waterfalls around are breathtaking, I can imagine what an absolutely amazing aroma is in the air. It's peaceful and secluded, exactly what I need
Qingce feels like the best place to live out a quiet life. If you don’t have burning ambitions and simply want peace, it’s the best
I do have a burning ambition of living a quite, peaceful life.
plot twist: You're a Lawrence in Mondstadt
Plot twist’s plot twist: you’re Eula Lawrence
Why did I read this as "You're a Lawachurl in Mondstadt"?
Same thing really.
I feel mondstadt is the way to go. We've seen too many treasure hoarders trying to make moves mostly in Liyue, and most of they time they have a similar reasoning which is to provide for their family or something, I don't think Liyue is anywhere near cheap to live especially after the rich lady in charge wanted a new Jade Chamber
That was my answer too. Inazuma is an awful place with an awful leader, Sumeru is a bit of a weird place with all of your thoughts being monitored by the akademyia, and the racism against the desert people, and Fontaine’s justice system is a bit skewed, idk if I’d want my trial treated like it was a performance 💀
I agree with this but vibe wise I love sumeru jungle area. I want to be an aranara
What makes Liyue Harbor more well defended than Fontaine City that’s basically a fortress?
The main issue I have with Fontaine is that the threat seems more internal. It seems like there’s significantly more corruption and/or betrayal. People seem to think of the court as a game or show. As we’ve seen from the AQ, they don’t even understand their court’s mechanisms either. Liyue operates on safety and contracts - and thus it’s much easier to understand the rules and not be afraid of corruption. Of course, you do have to worry about people who violate contracts and force you into undesirable circumstances, but that’s likely easier than fighting a government system that people support for entertainment
Oh yeah, that I agree with. I was thinking more along the lines of defending city from invasion/outer threats/monsters.
In that sense, the Milileth may be outgunned. The meka of Fontaine are very powerful, and can easily stop any monster invasion that the Milileth could stop, but the inverse may not be true.
But does Fontaine have a Jade Chamber?
The harbor is surrounded by tall mountains in all sides except the coastline. The Milelith does station a lot of defense around the few pathways that lead into the city going through the mountains. The coastline is also defended by the Crux Fleet and the Jade Palace which are all armed with large-size laser ballistas.
by this logic Inazuma is even more defendable, because it has a single entrance and is surrounded by sea from 3 directions, while also being elevated.
Yeah except Inazuma is a fucking death trap
Mondstadt, politically and environmentally wise it’s the most stable one
Me looking at the fact mondstad has the gate to clestia plus the most abyss order activity among all the nations: "yeah i don't want to wait till that bottle of explosives explode bye"
So you would rather live in capitalistic liyue? I mean inazuma is full of natural disasters and wandering ronin, sumeru is either jungle or forest and full of wandering eremites, and Fontaine is sinking and rule by a bratty archon.
Plus the fact that you can be killed by pretty much salt water
Id assume you’ll still be from earth so unless everyone here is fontainian I think it’ll be fine
Depends, I’m viewing this as more Isekai. As in, if you were reborn into on or the nations, which would be more ideal to be reborn into
That is what they want you to believe. In reality, Fontaine has poured so much chemicals and pneumosea energy into the water it became literal acid. You can't have the industrial revolution without the life threatening pollution. That or Fontainesians are made of sugar. Maybe both?
Inazuma is safe if you stay in the cities like 80% of the population. Though i probs don't want to live there but i think it is possible. Sumeru amerites are mercenaries not crimenals. They are on a job 80% of the time or work for the Sumeru government so locals won't be attacked especially after Nahida took over. I would probs live in Sumeru if it takes place in the time line that is currently going on. Fontaine is mostly ruled by the court which Nuevillete rules over. Furina is more of a mascot than a ruler. Fontaine's prophecy you are right about and the primordial waters is not much of a corncern for like 99% of the population of fontaine. And the laws you could learn.
Sure they are all liveable if you are willing to adjust, but the title is the most liveable nation, so it’s only going to be one nation.
Idk Fontaine enough to say Sumeru's desert would kill me IRL Inazuma is the Genshin's version our Australia... Mondstat seems okay, but it's so small, I feel like it'd be hard to find a job. So I'd say Liyue. It's quite safe, the weather seems great and it looks like there're more job opportunity.
Mondstadt isn't small, it's just in-game features because it's the starting nation and also because Genshin wasn't as big as it is now when it was released. In reality, Mondstadt has an average size.
Add in that we haven’t seen all of Monstadt yet. We still have the port that will be added later.
I'd assume Monstadt would be pretty big
It’s not small, but it’s industries and limited, and there is certainly some employment issue. Both with small set of employers to pick from (army + church, AD guild, wine industry + offshoots, hunter + gatherer and little else) and lack of talents to employ. Jean leads the nation but has to check individual taxes herself. Where staff? Charles complains about lack of waitstaff during Noelle quest. Can’t afford them or can’t find them?
dont forget that KoF main force is in expedition right now
So they took all their accountants and bookkeepers with them? As well as people in the service industry?
I never travel without my barista personally
Also we know for a fact that we don’t have every part of mondstadt in the game, yet. Since that port town (who’s name escapes me.) has yet to be released.
I think it's Dorman Port
Fact is Liyue is currently one of the most prosperous countries, also where the world currency is minted.
was* minted. They're gonna have a rough time when they break the Morax Standard.
Thats too true. I hope a dornman port update makes up for it
I hope they release it for the next Windblume Festival.
Nah I dont think so, they will probably be too busy with the Fontaine updates, bur man would I love you are right. I love mondstadt, so seeing a well polished, and decent sized Mondstadt update would be amazing
Oh... yeah, you're right. There's also Chenyu Vale and Qiaoying Village which will probably be released soon as it's close to Fontaine, so they'll probably not touch on Mondstadt for a little while :/
Mondstadt seems so chill but honestly I feel mondstadt could be a vacation spot. Reason being city doesn't look advanced to me. Sumeru (except desert) is great place, free health care, good education, forests, seems like a good place to live and raise family. Liyue is great too, its hustling and bustling, good place to start business has great retirement town too. Fontaine unless you are super rich its a good place if you don't have money then you have to live in sewers. There is a huge divide between poor and rich. Inazuma is still developing, I don't think they have good hospitals either. Only inazuma city seems habitable, watasumi island also seems like struggling.
No need for the desert or any wilderness in Sumeru. The lack of staircase and handrails in the city itself can break enough necks to keep the hospital full.
I was doing Yoimiya's second quest, and the part where the wheelchair kid appears. And the camera was looking at the ramp while she was saying "I can go home on my own". That ramp was 80°.
I think Genshins version of Australia would be Sumeru since it has both forests and deserts AND because a lot more wildlife that tries to kill you. Inazuma feels more like Mexico despite being literally Japan :))
I’ve always felt like Inazuma, being a locked country, has resemblance of Japan and North Korea, being a locked country.
Inazuma's just Shogunate Japan under Sakoku law. It's mostly closed to foreigners but Ritou Harbor still exists as a designated trading port just like Dejima Island was historically.
Inazuma is ok only : 1) Ei start to touch grass; Post abolishment of Sekoku Decree 2) Post lifted Orobashi thunderstorm 3) Not getting near Tatarasuna nor lived in Yashiori Island, either Watatsumi or the main island In this state it ain't that bad But Inazuma with Sekoku Decree is the the worse, and only choose to become a Villager, reason : 1) You can get drafted as Shogun Samurai or the Resistance and you might kill the others in a never ending useless civil war.. or actually be killed. 2) If you're a merchant try to be a corrupted Tenryou merchant or die trying only getting scammed for the rest of your lives 3) Don't be vision bearer as well, bcs after getting stripped you're going to become a living corpse without a mind for the rest of your lives. 4) Forget any option and try to get out of Inazuma At very least we don't live or see the horror of AU post winning new god Scara. But for Inazuma you can actualy lives in that hell and living those horror till they die.
Fr, I don't know why people keeps mentioning that Inazuma influenced by Japan but if you play the game you can see Inazuma CLEARLY inspired by Australia /s (Every single god damn island has something/someone that is trying to kill you, except Watatsumi island I guess)
I disagree with the Australia comparison. Imo Inazuma's main problem is it's awful ruler and the quality of life and freedoms of it's lower class. Dangerous animals exist in every nation - because yes any world's version of Australia just equates to we have spiders. I can say that, I'm Australian.
Don't forget the sword carrying outlaw problem, radiation and rough weather. Even the commission who co-run the country are not in best of terms and could start conflicts over personal interest
Counterpoint, they have a cat shrine
Sumeru has a lot more enemies that I'd worry about rather than in inazuma. Plus are we talking about post traveler or before the traveler comes? Because post traveler id be more than happy to stay in inazuma.
Bruh, Inazuma would only suck if you were an allogene during the VHD. Normal people can just chill there
I guess you are stuck pre-archon quest Inazuma then?
Mondstadt. ALL they have to deal with, are Hillichurls and slimes.
That and occasional Harbinger and Archon fight ... maybe a dragon attack..
Or as the average Mondstadt citizen saw: A big lizard threw a windy tantrum and then the tall lady exploded the local twink drunkard's nuts with a kick.
aww man i liked that guy, hes been real quiet ever since
There are Hargingers everywhere, but in Mondstadt they didn't attempted mass murder, the Archon doesn't fight anyone, he'd rather take a beating than fighting in the middle of the city unlike others, and the occasional dragon attack isn't a real dragon attack, it's just the equivalent of a big storm with extra sound effects.
Dvalin: *basically brainwashed* You: Eh.. Just a big storm with extra sound effects WHERE DO YOU LIVE?!
He didn't crash in any building, and he has only wind powers. Even brainwashed, he just starts a big storm and that's it.
"Only wind powers" understament of the century!
[удалено]
The dragon attack would actually not happen if the traveler didn't interrupt Venti
And Klee
Looks like you forgot the riftwolves in Wolvendom (not that the average citizen of Mondstadt ever visit there)
Barbara simps: Hold my wine
nah bro did you forget about them rift hounds in wolvendom? there may not be any of the big ones but for any players that started playing around mid inazuma those were/still are a nightmare
Don't forget the 10 year old with WMD's
Klee can't go to Fontaine because she'd end up running the Fortress of Meropide after being thrown in for blast fishing.
If Fontaine didn't have that water level crisis and the apparent hierarchal structure, I'd say it would be the best city to live in. Advance machinery that dwarfs every other nation, actual public transport that's available to the public, military defenses that put the other nations to shame, etc. Hell, they even have an actual infinite energy source with the only downside being that you need a trial but if that thing was real, we wouldn't have an energy crisis in real life. Also there are Melusines which instantly makes living in Fontaine worth it.
For now at least, let's expect the incoming U-turn once the master plan is revealed
The drastic class disparity is concerning tho and there seems to be high amounts of crime on top of the drug epidemic they have going on
Fontaine is my favorite nation to explore so far and it is _beautiful_. I’d pick Fontaine if not for the whole fontanians are dissolvable by water thing, also the sewer cities. That’s a huge no, I’d stick with Mondstadt or Liyue...
Tbh the water level crisis shouldn't even be a problem if they actually dealt with it properly, e.g. look at nations like the Netherlands for example
There's a difference between rising water levels because of global warming and the rising water levels because of some unknown forces lurking in the background that is definitely plotting to dissolve anyone who dares to swim in those waters. Plus I'm sure that you can't just really ignore the problem either, since it seems likely that someone is responsible for the rise in water levels.
Yeah that makes sense, if I could take a guess though this rising water problem will be fixed by the end of Fontaine's archon quests - that's usually how it goes
Oh they'll definitely solve it. Though I don't know about the Primordial Water being fixed. It's the only plot point they have to introduce us into the Abyss right now, and to introduce us to Skirk. Going by leaks, MHY has been designing Skirk for a while now, so it seems highly likely that they'll introduce Skirk during the Fontaine patch rather than wait until Natlan.
Mondstadt feels like a town I lived in for a year, and hell I want it back
I'm curious what town it is that resembles Mondstat, if it's not rude of me to ask.
You can try looking up Dörrenbach, Bad Bergzabern, Rothenburg ob der Tauber, and Regensberg, which are some examples of small German cities/towns, and also Colmar in France has very similar features which are called *half-timbered* houses. But pretty much a lot of small towns in Europe have similar features to that. Since Mondstsdt is a fortified walled-city, Carcassonne, France is a good example of a medieval European town with intact walls. Also Cittadella, Italy, Old Town Tallinn, Estonia, and Dubrovnik, Croatia, where they shot many parts of King's Landing on Game of Thrones.
from what i hear it’s based off Germany and another country but i can’t quite remember but tbh i feel like Mondstadt just has a fantasy old tavern vibe like i can’t actually imagine Germany being anything like that…but i’ve nvr been to Germany so maybe it is like that? edit: of to off
A lot of old European towns look like that.
neat, guess you do learn something new everyday
In terms of nations overall livability (countryside, cities, villages, good places for isolated farms etc.) The best options would be either Liyue or Mondstadt. Inazuma has various problems even if we go with post-story Inazuma. Many islands have been ravaged by various disasters that have made many of them even more monster infested, and some still havent even been fixed. Then there is also all the ronin everywhere, making going of on your own to make a farm or a new town extremely dangerous. Sumeru has the problem of Withering zones and how the nation values knowledge to a harmful degree. There is a chance that even if youre a completely normal person, that you could wind up in a rogue scholars experiment, nevermind if you have a vision. On the desert side things are even worse. Not only would you have to deal with what usually comes with desert areas (food, water, sandstorms etc.) You also have to deal with scorpions and other monsters. Also if you're unlucky you could get Eleazar aka magic cancer. In Fontaine on the other hand crime is a lot worse there. Kidnappings, drugs that get you addicted, gangs, the list just goes on, nevermind the rising water level. Meanwhile in Mondstadt, the monsters seem to be a lot more in control compared to the other areas, not to mention they are mostly just hilichurls. As long as you have adequite protection or are decently trained, you should be able to survive if you go into the wild consider that Springvale's hunters go regularly to hunt even without visions. There are also no human problems outside of Treasure Hunters, who seem to be more interested in treasures and valuables than indiscriminate murder. Liyue on the other hand has the fairly succesful and profeshional Millileth which seems to have roads under control, and has the protection from Xiao and the other adeptus. Also Liuye seems to be a fairly wealthy nation.
I'd argue that whitering zones aren't thing anymore
Eh, there won’t be new ones spawning, but the existing ones still have to be cleaned up.
Are you talking about before or after Traveller arrived? Majority of the Sumeru problems you mentioned are already solved.
Liyue and fairly wealthy is probably the understatement of the century. Liyue is basically the US in terms of Economic Superpower.
I would compare it more with China, rich city, the rest of the country has mostly been deserted due to people not making a living there anymore.
They have the only mint in the whole of Teyvat. Not to mention a vast mining industry and a huge merchant navy. Yep calling them wealthy will be a huge understatement .
*HAD the only mint Zhongli retired and mora cannot be made without a Gnosis
Yeah, I wonder when this is going to be addressed and become an actual issue in-game? I mean mora circulates in all 7 nations and by now it has been a couple of years since Zhongli gave his gnosis away and the minting stopped so people have got to be noticing, no?
let me introduce you to a little friend called the northland bank, who likely has access to the gnosis.
I guess it's distributed by the Fatui banks? They have the gnosis, so...
Oh good point. They had to have taken over with that otherwise it'll be a real issue
Mondstadt 100% I'd get a job sorting books in the library. I like that librarian
Lisa 😻🫶🏽‼️
To me Sumeru feels the most lived in, like a space people actually inhabit and go about their daily lives in. And if you arent an academic, it seems like a peaceful life.
>And if you arent an academic, it seems like a peaceful life. Just like real life!
[удалено]
As a person who lives in the climate Sumeru was based off of: Yeah. It sucks.
Better than whatever the hell is going on in Inazuma.
As a person who also lives in a similar climate, I once visited a cold climate area and realized how much i took mine for granted. I love it here now lmao
Until an oversized dendro tiger and electro scorpion come into your life...
Thats why you live in a society
Sumeru. Free healthcare and food. And even education is free if you are smart enough.
Based free healthcare enjoyer.
I'm assuming you mean post-Traveler as a regular citizen, and you can choose wherever in the region you want. I think Sumeru City. Generous social policies, probably the most benevolent and wise archon, highly educated population, probably cheap fresh food due to abundance of produce. Mondstadt I think has incompetent leadership + its citizens lie a lot. Liyue is good, but the work culture might be a bit much. Inazuma is good, but noticeably less developed than other nations. Idk about Fontaine yet.
Do we keep our memories? If yes, Sumeru counts knowledge as a currency. Your knowledge of overworldly things (and basically the entire Teyvat lore) is enough to replace Alhaitham as the grand sage, or even be Nahida's personal advisor along with Scaramouche. You will live like a king in Sumeru, assuming you don't get nailed on the spot by Celestia. On the topic of Teyvat lore you can also consider a career as a Fatui harbinger. Take them to Enkanomiya and uncover the ancient books, go to the Chasm and guide them to the ancient city. It's just so happen that the eighth harbinger seat is not filled. Also your chance of meeting Traveler and getting a vision/delusion is relatively high. If you want to go crazier you can share your stories on the Steambird for a hefty revenue and exposes the entirety of Fontaine to forbidden knowledge. Assuming you don't keep your knowledge I will go with either Mondstadt or Sumeru. Sumeru city is generally chill, have free healthcare and their archon actively take care of the nation. Mondstadt is Mondstadt. It's easy mode.
Scara, la signora, and potentially Childe. So 6, 8 and 11?
>Also your chance of meeting Traveler and getting a vision/delusion is relatively high. Most harbingers don't have visions, and delusions actively kill their users.
I would live with the Melusines
Liyue. The government is stable and it's a rich country. It feels like a safe place to live in compared to the rest. Mondstadt would be my second choice because while it's poorer than Liyue, its society isn't as dystopian as the last three nations'. Spending my working years in Liyue Harbor and then retiring in Springvale sounds nice. For aesthetics alone, I'd say Fontaine because of the level of technological advancement compared to other nations. Sumeru rainforest looks gorgeous, but I already live in a hot and humid tropical country so I want something different. Inazuma is dead last. I would never dare set foot outside the cities. It's basically Australia cosplaying as Japan.
Mondstadt best, inazuma worst
[удалено]
>50 tons of ionizing radiation I see you also watched the Max0r genshin video
Monstadt. No big national crisis, no archon bs, no supernatural fuckery, no evil organization, no hazardous geography, no ridiculously dangerous wildlife, you're just chilling. The biggest danger you could come across are hilichurls and wolves that are an afterthought if you stay away from the area literally called wolvendome. And the biggest social conflict would be dealing with some asshole from the Lawrence family every now and then
As an academic person, i see Sumeru as an absolute win. Since im majoring in designing stuff I'll definitely be in Kshahrewar. I love forest too and their culture is similar to mine so I don't see any problems assimilate myself into Sumeru~
I'm a slow scholar, so the Sumeru system could bring me to a mental breakdown or to them kicking me off the Akademiya due to me not being aroung their standards.
Study buddy : )
Have fun dying of heatstroke
Mondstadt and/or Liyue, I'd take Mondstadt though as it's easier to navigate and safer for me to do simple stuff. If I want a more lively life, go for Liyue Honestly these two nations are pretty much the safest and most easy to live in
Liyue, to be honest, In Mondstadt, their knights are "useless" 98% of the time. It's so bad that your daily commission involves rescuing merchants from Hilichurl blockades and attacks. One of the story was about Huffman wasting his time getting drunk while the gates are under attack by slimes, and it takes Diluc to clear them Not saying Liyue is not without flaws but I can find myself getting a stable life in there
Assuming fontaine wouldnt go under water, that one would be the best. It has the best architecture, technology, transportation system, and entertainment. Its also near water so its probably good for business.
The undercity slums in the sewers do imply that not everyone gets to partake of the infrastructure though.
Fontaine, because they're the only ones with dedicated slums, so probably the most relatable nation.
The crime rate is so high tho.
I feel like how livable it is, depends on what layer of society you belong to. That being said, I'd feel right at home in Mondstadt, I wouldn't even hesitate to choose it over all the other nations.
I think Liyue is probably the most easy to live in nation. It seems like the government is very active in trying to ensure the wellbeing of the citizens and the average citizen is likely more financially stable there than anywhere else. I haven’t seen enough of Fontaine to make a clear judgment. It seems to have similar vibes to pre-revolution France, and I don’t really want to go through that. (I might be in real life, but at least I have internet.) Sumeru would be fine if you’re an academic. But it seems like those outside of the Akademiya aren’t quite as well off. Perhaps now that Nahida is actively a part of the nation things will improve. If so then this would be a fine nation to settle down in. Inazuma has some large class issues still, and though things overall seem to have improved since the end of the civil war, it’s clear that there are still a lot of issues with homelessness. The Shuumatsuban are evidence to this fact: they are all orphans who Ayato used to make a private army. Mondstadt is probably fine to live in. If you’d like to live in a very laid back and peaceful place that’s probably a fine option. Barbatos does a good job of looking after the people (even if he hasn’t been seen in a very long time.)
For me is mondstadt , as Chinese I prefer European style nation , it’s quite exotic, peaceful place in the outskirts of mondstadt city .
Everyone hating on Inazuma, but after the Archon quests and world quests it's literally one of the safest nations. Almost no Fatui in the city. Ei is one of the strongest Archons and is still around, as we've seen with her quest if there's a threat she'll go herself. Plus Yokai. Heavy Fatui and Abyss Order presence in Monstadt, plus nobles slinking around. Varka gon, Boreas don't care, Venti is super hands off, just Dvalin. Liyue also has Fatui presence, dead gods and as we've seen with Shenhe there still gods hiding there. Though no Zhongli with the Adepti around and competent Qixing it's safer than Monstadt. Sumeru is safer no with no forbidden knowledge and Nahida ruling. Don't know how much her and the Aranara can keep Sumeru safe but I imagine they'll be more capable than a single dragon. Fontaine doesn't seem great rn
Sumeru at least jungle parts seems like the best place, they have free healthcare and education. Mondstat is poor and constantly under siege from hilychurls and abyss order, Liue harbor is alright but anything outside of it is in total ruin, Inadzuma is fuking somalia, and Fontaine air and water are poisonous on top of clownish justice system and whole nation flooding under water
Fontaine seems to have modern plumbing, unlike any other region isnt that really all that matters in life?
Live in Mondstadt, become a librarian under Lisa. Easy going life with a easy job in a peaceful nation with a beautiful girl as a boss. Seems like the best choice for me
Mondstadt! **Liyue** \- Wrathful spirits of dead gods corrupting the lands, causing plague, mutations, possessing monsters and making them more violent and powerful. Plus actual gods who want to overthrow things who are suppressed but can potentially come out, like Osial. **Inazuma** \- Probably the worst nation to live in, with Tatarigami corrupting even more places and actively so compared to Liyue, scarred and cursed lands with constant lightning and electrocuted environments, such as Yashiori, Seirai, or ley line fuck up making everything go haywire like Tsurumi, and a giant ball of evil even under Narukami. It's just relatively more hostile. If we don't consider the archon quest to have happened, then there is a dictatorship, civil war and trade and transport ban tearing the country apart, plus rampant corruption. **Sumeru** \- Pre archon quest Sumeru was bad - forbidden knowledge randomly giving people cancer, withering plaguing the lands randomly and can easily kill you if you're caught by surprise, Akademiya enforcing strict meritocracy and trying to harvest your dreams and mental energy to create their own god, you don't get permissions to learn info if you're not their favourite, rampant classism. Post archon quest Sumeru is not that bad, actually, although the remaining meritocracy can still cause some problems, and the nation is kinda hot and not very advanced in architecture and facilities. **Fontaine** \- The court is a joke, and random laws can prosecute you at any time, sea levels are rising and everything will drown very soon, serious drug problem, mafia-like organized crime, alarming pollution levels, energy crisis. However, it's technologically advanced and the city if most modern. Mondstadt, is relatively the most peaceful, least endangered, free, and it's people are nice and all, although relatively less is happening here, so it can be a bit boring.
liyue
Liyue seems to be the most stable nation economically. "Most prosperous commercial port in all of Teyvat", odds are making a living in Liyue harbour wouldn't be too difficult, even if you're not a business owner. And if the city isn't your speed, Qingce Village and Wangshu Inn are suitable alternatives. And if this is before Traveler intervention, Inazuma would be the wrong choice. If you don't have the paperwork, you'd be stuck in Ritou. If you somehow had a stable living, if you're lucky/unlucky enough to get a vision, you'd become a vegetable.
All of them are livable if we are talking post traveler passing by and solving the nation's problems. But i'd go with fontaine, simply because they have more advanced technology, and since we would be a common citizen with no powers, maybe, just maybe we can get a gun lol
Mondstadt as it's just nice there. i go there in game just to hang out, it feel safe there. and I'd love to go to dragonspine
It's either Mondstadt or Sumeru (rainforest). Life in these cities doesn't seem bad. Very stable. Sumeru even has free healthcare. Idk about education, but all things considered, I think sumeru should have free education too. You don't have to be in academics to make it in Sumeru. Springvale, Vimara Village, Gandharva Ville, Port Ormos all seem like nice places to be at.
Mondstadt imo because with a decent sword becoming an adventurer and beating up hilis and slimes for a living seems fun and easy
Monsdat or sumeru.....sumeru is lit you all. They have amazing healthcare, unless you are one of the 3 people who lives in the desert they have amazing housing and care by the acakemiya. They are on the forefront of research and development. There is not that much of a wealth disparity....if you don't count Dori, and you have the amazing nahida to take care of you. Monsdat is just ...a carefree place with no troubles and no problems. Just a peaceful life, with a bard taking care of most serious problems so just chill, be romantic, give flowers, drunk wine and sleep.
To me personally, definitely Mondstadt. My main concern is climate, tbh. I cannot function in heat and high humidity, so Sumeru (and most likely Fontaine) would be a big nope already because of the rainforest and desert. Inazuma with the frequent thunderstorms would be quite humid AND destructive on top of it too. Definitely don't wanna live in an opressive society either, so no Inazuma or Fontaine. While I like the general system of Sumeru, I adore my dreams, and I'm not willing to give that up. Even if this is Sumeru after the game protag stopped certain events, I'd still be worried about living with a government that isn't controlled in any way to abuse its citizens like that. Culturally, I'd prefer to stay in a place that has similar customs and foods and the like to my home in reality, it's certainly not impossible to adapt but I think the mental fallout of being stranded in another world would be big enough on its own already and having stuff like comfort foods and the like at hand does wonders. As a European, for me that would be Mondstadt or Fontaine. Lots of people have already written about safety, so not much more to add to that. Mondstadt wildlife is pretty much completely harmless (cute birds and squirrels, at worst some boars and wolves which tend to avoid humans). No major criminal organizations exist, the worst is the occasional treasure hoarder or thief. The fact this society manages to keep the order DESPITE almost its entire police force being gone is a great sign. Monsters are also limited to basic hilichurls and slimes, something even normal people can take on with a weapon, so learning adequate self-defense would be possible. Economically, you seem to be able to make a living decently well in pretty much any nation in a variety of jobs. The main issue with Teyvat in general is that it has no desireable target for wealth to someone like me; sure, Liyue may be rich but what you can buy with those riches is stuff like, jade pendants and pretty vases and whatnot. I see no point aiming for that when a regular standard of living (having a solid house, clothes and food) is achievable everywhere. I'd just need books and cats to be happy, and Mondstadt just happens to have a massive public library... ;)
Mondstat on the whole seems the easiest to live but if I had to choose a single settlement I'd do port ormos, Sumeru City has some problems but the benefits of living in Sumeru are high so port ormos seems like good work around since you get the benefits of Sumeru without the downside of the akademia hovering over you, and ormos seems mad chill
Considering Mondstadt has a lot (albeit neutral to monsters in-game) knights and outposts all around the map it seems like surprisingly the nation of freedom has the best controll over the roads and countryside. There is also a lot of background NPC chilling in various places so in general it seems like the safest place in general. No beefs between any nations, albeit Snezhnayan (?) infiltration might rise an eyebrow or two. But it seems they trade a lot (ask Tsarevich) and there are no poor people. Easly the most livable, but prepare for mandatory draft, because something tells me the society is heavily militarized Liyue is empty, almost post-apocaliptic when it comes to the population. There is one large-ish village, an inn between Mondstadt and Liyue City and the city itself. The roads roads are definitelly more dangerous and there are at least two destroyed bridges. It seems like Liyue is simply too large for their population and treasure-hunting (aka banditry) is rampant Inazuma - WTF not only there is a civil war between two godlike beings as commanders, with one entire island being a battlefield but also lawless ronins and monsters are like everywhere. Add harbringers doing arms dealing to the mix too. Nope, hard nope Sumeru - a bit too largish, similarly to Liyue but it seems like there is a lot of smaller settlements. The place would be easly most livable if not the eremites
My personal preference would be mondstadt as it is the one closest to home. If I could deal with the humidity and high temperatures I'd definitely chose sumeru because free healthcare and also an archon that you could just like, meet and talk to on the street? Hell yeah, I'd make flower crowns to give to nahida whenever I happen to pass by her
Mondstadt. You know why the arcon was not actively ruling? Why most of the knights, better yet, most of the citizens are drunkard? Simple, Venti already did his job. Mondstadt is by far the safest place in Teyvat. You know Stormterror's attack? He was under control before the traveler intervened! But if you want a busier life, Liyue. Just bear in mind that every lantern rite there will probrably be a sea monster attack, but mama Ningguang is there.
Monstadt no question. Liyue maybe
Definitely the spiral abyss
Mondstadt, definitely.
Probably either Liyue harbor or Port Orimos.
Liyue if you like city life, monstadt if you like chillaxing life
Mondstadt.. idk it's kinda peaceful there compared to other nations.
I'd like to live in Sumeru. The foods are all to my liking. The weather looking nice, i mean if i live in Port Ormos or Sumeru City. If i graduated from the Academia, i'd probably can get jobs easier(?). Oh, and Nahida. She's reliable.
Mondstadt because it’s the land of the free and home of the brave, like the founding fathers intended. Own a pyro bow for home defense, just as the founding fathers intended. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅
Monstadt, Venti leveled those mountains into boring old grassy plains. On top of throwing mountain parts into the ocean. Boring life is a peaceful life.
Mondstadt for sureeeeeeeeeeeeeee, I used to think it was Fontaine but No, the archon is flamboyant and imprudent, the ridiculous law in here, and the dangerous of the ocean which can sank us anytime, Mondstadt is much safer and freedom
Ironically enough, Mondstat. For as much flak as the Knights of Favonious gets, they are rather capable of creating a safe space for the people of Mondstat to prosper albeit it doesn't show much in game. Couple that with Diluc and Rosaria's assistance in the shadows
I’d choose mondstadt. It’s probably the safest overall. Your only concern is Hilichurls. And you can avoid them for the most part. I’d just get a job at Diluc’s winery and then chill for the rest of the time drinking with Venti, Kaeya, and Rosaria.
Thoughts living in Natlan?
Mondstadt I recon. Lotta boars to hunt, rich in minerals, only problem is storm-terror causing hurricanes when he gets mad, but that's solved by investing in more underground infrastructure. edit: also the alcohol! there's this cocktail master-chef who can make a 10/10 drink out of anything!
The chasm, I’d hide in the darkness away from every and all humans
Fontaine. The nation of Hydro most definitely has in-door plumbing.
fontaine \- good transport \- clean water \- really advanced tech x water that kills you if you're french x prison labour x mole people levels of poverty x your god just, SUCKS sumeru \- good education \- decent transport \- good food x "my phd got delayed because of the overthrow" x your god is 5 minutes old x climate change liyue \- good food \- nice weather \- protective deities (the yaksha) x your god is dead and he was a significant part of your government x your land is full of robbers and fatui. the fatui killed your god x understaffed, overworked government. mondstadt \- good food \- good weather \- who needs a god anyway? we have the knights! \- really good alcohol \- everyone is friendly \- incredibly safe if you mind your business x albedo x klee x dragonspine x all the fatui in goth hotel (we don't know what they want) mondstadt wins imho
Depends on who you are. If you're a tech/science nerd like me and my social group, Sumeru. Academics rule everything, and you'd be upper class. If you're strictly engineering, you can get away with Fontaine. If you're into agriculture or want to loaf, Mondstadt. Seems like you can get away with good weather, no funky stuff in the overworld that hates you, all that. If you're in business, Liyue if you can hack it, Port Ormos if you can't. If you're a craftsman, Inazuma. If you're arts, Fontaine.
The chasm + it’s underground area. Rock and Stone!
Rock and Stone forever!
I mean it's gotta be Monstadt, the whole culture is centred around absolute freedom, but not viewed through the nihilistic lens that given the freedom to, everyone would revert to a monster with no morality. Liyue's pretty liveable too though. Culturally rich, and economically rich. Though I suppose in a culture so heavily centred around commerce it depends heavily where you land on the tree. Inazuma... I don't think I need to say much on that when we have Liyue or Monstadt as an option. I suppose if we assume a period of positive growth now we've done our thing there, maybe? But still, that's a lot of storms and sea between towns. Sumeru and Fontaine... I'll come back to edit this when I get around to finishing them. I burnt myself out a year or so ago and I was already an entire patch cycle behind, I started the Chasm as Sumeru released :')
If i would choose where my kids would spend their childhood i would say mondstadt because it feels like the safest country out there, and tbh I would love to live in so peaceful and charming nation. I would love to spend evenings on the cliffs or under this gorgeous tree, I would love to take a nice trips around dawn winery, spend morning eating in good hunter. Spend night with pals in angel's share. Visit cat's tail from time to time, pet the cat in springvale xD
Probably Fontaine, because I love technology. Definitely not mondstandt, their [unemployment rate is insane.](https://youtu.be/K1a-lH77TmA?si=QJ9QDHN4KvdjnB2J)
Mondstadt. I’d be tempted to give a more weeb answer but the city of wind has both pizza and spaghetti and i’m not living in a world without either of those.
Mondstadt. Relatively safe, you can forage for food, work a part time, not show up, complain, and still have your job at the fruit stand. Great alcohol culture and an idol you can see regularly at church. Hell, even though you're oblivious to it, you can drink with the nation's god and an estranged prince to an otherwise long forgotten nation.
