I’m I the only one iffy about Genshin currently being connected to the Honkai games?
Correct me if I’m missing anything.
Previously, people thought that leafs or bubble worlds were the size of universes, or that the Tree was a multiverse, and that HI3 was its own universe.
However, it was later revealed that HI3 is just a star system within HSR.
Zander had a theory that the Tree is a multiverse, but in the lore, that’s merely his personal hypothesis, not a confirmed fact.
The general consensus I’ve seen from some people is that it’s a complex universe.
If that’s the case, then some aspects of Genshin’s lore would contradict a connection.
That Otto scene took place before both Genshin and HSR were even released, in the same era as Kate Kaslana, who was removed for a reason.
There have been zero follow-ups, and hoyo has retconned a bunch of things from that era.
That wind glider is just an Easter egg, as HSR has a bunch of Easter eggs from different series.
They also claimed in Alien space correct me if I’m wrong that the Sky People could invade the HSR universe or that they would actually be a threat, but based on all we know about HSR and how powerful it is,
I’m not so sure about that.
That drink event thing with the Raiden twins also isn’t actually canon to the story of HSR.
Genshin lore operates on a universal scale—a civilization transcended time, conquered space-time, and operated on a multi-galactic to universal range, yet they don’t mention a single Honkai lore-related thing like the Imaginary or Imaginary Walls.
The Abyss is millions of years old, and in Genshin, the fate of the universe is severed.
The Abyss’s goal is to destroy all of existence—it is currently destroying the universe, implying in Genshin that this is all of existence.
The Abyss has destroyed multiple galaxies, yet there is no mention of this in Honkai, nor do any factions in HSR try to interfere.
In every future possibility the Voyager sees, it all leads to the the abyss which can erase existence destroying all of existence .
In Honkai, Imaginary Walls exist; before the Trailblaze appeared, traveling the universe was hard for the average person.
In Genshin, despite there being zero mention of the Trailblaze, the average random outlander and spaceship can travel to different star system or galaxies, implying that Imaginary Walls—a Hoyoverse concept do not exist in Genshin.
When it talks about the universe in Genshin, it doesn’t say "part of the universe"—it just says "the universe" straight up. So why are some people so sure it’s currently a part of honkai?
I feel like Hoyo had plans for them being connected early on but changed their mind as time went on, which they do often.
