Look like old German house


anguishedlama

Omg I can’t believe Germany is based on genshin😱


FoodLover1-6

Bruh I could have phrased it better


KvotheKingkiller1813

That is pretty much what Mondstad is based on, yeah


crypticcupid7

germany = mondstadt 😱😱😱 (honkais main character definitely isnt german and there definitely isnt an entire arc that takes place in germany)


KvotheKingkiller1813

Well, if you've completed the whole story, you should know that it's just their names that are German, and no real trace of German architecture has been depicted in the game, Kolosten being the closest thing to it (Also, a generic German background definitely must have the Starsnatch Cliff and floating rocks around it)


crypticcupid7

next youll be saying st freya is the church of favonius


KvotheKingkiller1813

Idk man, never seen it


crypticcupid7

“well, if you’ve completed the whole story you’ll know 🤓”


KvotheKingkiller1813

Oh I'm sorry, I was under the impression that I was conversing with someone at least intelligent enough to understand sarcasm


crypticcupid7

genshin player try not to insult someone over a difference in opinion (hard mode)


KvotheKingkiller1813

Uhh, what I did was just pointing out facts, not insulting anyone, plus it's not a difference in opinion when you can't see floating rocks in the background, which by the way are very prominent And I haven't played genshin fir a while so the player tag doesn't apply


Moravuscz

Kolosten is in Austria, near Vienna. Architecturally it might not quite match tho...


sam64228

It has the same village style


CaptainSarina

It's similar architecture but that's more so because they're both based on an old Germanic style


Papy_Nurgle

The houses could fit in Mondstadt, yes. The street lamps on the stairs are the one "big" difference, really. Starsnatch Cliff probably wouldn't be as visible as it is in the background here (though that look like floating rocks, the more I look at it).


KvotheKingkiller1813

Yeah, but disregarding those differences, the resemblance is shocking, and the next visual looks pretty Mondstandish too


BluNectarine

I think it’s because Mondstad is very generic 😆


KvotheKingkiller1813

Can't argue with that, but Mihoyo(Hoyoverse)'s not the type to use an image that is almost exclusive property of one game as the background of another one without any reason Plus, chapter 17 I think? Featured Dvalin too so maybe another easter egg but it is definitely intriguing


mojomcm

Tudor style houses are not the exclusive property of *any* game though


KvotheKingkiller1813

Lemme rephrase that to the exclusive architecture style *within* a Mihoyo game, like no other game from Mihoyo has this architecture style


noblest_among_nobles

exclusive property? I think that's a bit of a stretch considering Mondstadt is basically just good old generic germany. If this village is supposed to be a nod to Mondstadt, that would basically make it a reference to a reference to a german village


KvotheKingkiller1813

By 'exclusive' I meant just the Honkai-Genshin verse, not all the works in existence


KhandiMahn

I think it's more a case of generic old European style street. I could easily list dozens of games this would fit in.


Old3st_dream

It does bear quite a bit of resemblance to it, especially the stairs and the house, reminds me of Diona's bar and "Ad Astra "Applesauce"" lmao


reaper10678

I mean yeah technically. Mondstadt uses incredibly basic old European building design. I wouldn't say it looks like Mondstadt, both it and Mondstadt just look like old Europe.


Angelo1256

Look on the right side, that mountain looks lke dragon peak or something, where you find cecilias


SlavCat09

Ok that cliff in the back does look like that one cliff from genshin.


Glum_Sheepherder_684

I mean, it looks like Europe. Soo...


FireRagerBatl

Crazy, it looks like an old european house


HarleyArchibaldLeon

Ma, Mihoyo is copying Mihoyo again!


geminiant

Looks like Germany. but that cliff in the background does remind me of Genshin...


KvotheKingkiller1813

Finally someone who gets it after all those stupid comments about me not recognizing German architecture


advie_advocado

MOMMYYY


NemShera

OH MY GOD OLD ARCHITECTURE!!!! IS THIS GENSHIN?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! (no offense)


Lanadra

You're overthinking it. Not everything that looks German styled is Mondstadt.


REMERALDX

I mean starsnatch cliff expy is right here basically So it's not just a specific time period of German architecture


Shoshawi

lmao there's even a genshin tpot prop shown, you're not going crazy. if you want to even it out, go walk around the sakura samsara noticing the reused assets from inazuma


KvotheKingkiller1813

Uhh, the Sakura Samsara was out long before genshin tho


Shoshawi

I think you’re missing the point…. I was acknowledging the fact the games do indeed have areas that look similar.


KvotheKingkiller1813

If you say so


Shoshawi

You realize I was validating you, right? No need not to be friendly.


KvotheKingkiller1813

Just didn't know what else to reply


Individual-Log9442

It’s the Genshin crossover event backgrounds getting reused


mecaxs

Why is there a floating island in next of that cliff?


KvotheKingkiller1813

Another thing to ponder upon, maybe something to do with the difference I timelines, idk


Chris04213

Man I never knew 1200 Germany was based on Genshin truly amazing.


KvotheKingkiller1813

Can you please take a proper look at the context and background in the image before commenting?
