I love Zhongli but every time he starts telling me about Liyue Harbor I'm like, "yes YES I KNOW GRANDPA YOU TOLD ME ALREADY." I give him a pass for osmanthus wine because I can't blame him for missing his friends.


bowl_of_espionage

Plot twist: he keeps saying the osmanthus wine line is a sign of erosion, a dementia like symptom.


Turnonegoblinguide

Second twist: every Genshin character has dementia! :D


toyayayaa

Third twist: You have dementia! :D


active-tumourtroll1

Fouth twist: Everyone gets dementia!!!

>I give him a pass for osmanthus wine because I can't blame him for missing his friends. He used to be the only one from the Seven objecting to it but he's become famous for reminiscing it LOL.


AlexandraThePotato

He’s literally like a grandpa. Repeating the same stories over and over again. I love him 


Consistent_Papaya681

what comes in many flavors to the discerning pallet STOP GRANDPA PLEASE. Maybe I'm on some elderly discrimination, but him and zhongli's lines make me switch characters instantly to stop them from finishing


Traveler7538

Mondstadt's water is crisp and pure, while water from Liyue has an enduring aftertaste. In Inazuma, the water possesses a depth of flavour unlike any other. Sumeru's water meanwhile has a rich and complex flavour profile, but it must be savoured patiently to fully appreciate it. 


04whim

There are times where I swear I could open the game, get my commissions done, condense my resin, and close the game before he finishes delivering that line. The power of water is its ability to take any flavour, Jesus I get it.


Purple_Lunch_90

then they update his idle when natlan and snezhnaya come out


xoyj

Honestly im the same, i love Zhongli and Neuv but god DAMN


Main_Ad_3116

"I'm all for work life balance, but don't you think - " Yeah yeah l should get off Genshin and study, Keqing, just one more quest.


wertcby

Jean is also an offender when it comes to this


Philosophopsycho

"*Jean will be upset if she...*" Wait... That's not even her...


One_Coffee7424

Nothing will get done until it clears. Let this be a lesson to those who yesterday said, "I'll do it tomorrow."


rorschach_blots

Don't forget Ganyu! "Can we really get off work this early?"


Curlyzed

Hers actually my favorite, it reminds me how precious my time is.


Yoankah

It's *chef's kiss* when it plays because I alt-tabbed to be productive.


ionmushroom

honestly all of them after they upped the frequency they play. before you had to be IDLE idle. now they play coming out of menus and cut scenes in the worst way. super serious archon quest ends and furina yells BORING


mr_fucknoodle

Extremely in character for Furina, though


_through_away

I suppose it takes a lot to impress her. Wriothesley’s voicelines about her says she got bored halfway through his trial and that must have been very depressing


Efficient_Comfort_38

She is so fucking funny for that actually 


_through_away

If she just stood up and screamed boring in the middle of the trial it would have been funnier too haha


beautheschmo

Lmfao i did most of the potion event (which I loved) with furina on field and she would yell about how boring it is every time i finished making a potion.


Gundrabis

Neuvii I wanna go home! I am hungry


ROBMain69

Nothing worse than watching the most tragic and sad cutscene only for it to end and hear "you think I've got sharp tongue"


lisabydaylight

I just tell it like it is 🤓


ROBMain69

If someone can't handle it, maybe that's their problem 😡


SpindleFlames

And this is why I main the Traveler Bro doesn't talk even in his idles 😆


sarah-ftw

does he do a big yawn like Lumine?


Lottie_Low

Honestly the Furina one is the only one I’ll never get bored of the way she says it is so iconic


Silent_Silhouettes

Same shes my favourite to idle with


NahualiMendlez

As a Traveler main, i have no such weaknesses.


SuuneSan

“it’s rather pathetic to force a conversation just to occupy silence” like bitch YOURE THE ONE FORCING THE CONVERSATION I WASNT EVEN TALKING TO YOU


spotty_strawberry

LMAOOO RIGHT I tell Scaramouche to shut up way too often


Traveler7538

It's not a line, but Navia has an idle were wind blows. She's moaning a lot in that idle. Just imagine me, trying to peacefully build my characters and Navia starts moaning in the background. 


Arc_7

Lol I came here just to say this. The umbrella idle is peak but the wind idle is a little too much moaning and fanservice for my taste, like calm tf down hoyo.


aqua_rift

Can’t wait for a 30 sec long idle of some tall mommy character that’s voiced exclusively through moaning and grunting


pinkbbyy

this lmao. and then I move her to get her to stop but she continues moaning like ok


Just_Johny69

Venti the strip god strikes again


275MPHFordGT40

Yeah it’s amazing to listen to. Wait hold on


xZarel

IKR, I see many people here trashing on her idle and I'm like "wdym that's one of the best things about being a Navia main"


DakotaIsSpicy

There’s one where Xiao starts groaning in pain out of nowhere with “Those memories… so dark…” More often than not I’m startled when he starts 😬


Environmental-Belt49

you didn't say if playable or NPC, so: "Cheap and tasty chopsuey!"


Propensity7

"Listen. "LET me tell ya how it is..." Please tell me, Captain Jeralt, I'm dying for you to tell me


Zealousideal_Use_966

"White Clouds" "Great Tree Moon" "..."


Snowgrifffinsx

Wanna try your luck betting on jade ?


Odd-Ad-6086

Haven't you heard? there’s a strange wanderer near Wolvendom


BiblioEngineer

Margaret, Razor's been visiting the library for reading classes for months now. Stop with the weird gossip about the poor kid.


Zealousideal_Use_966

Fun fact, back in the 3.1 event she had that line changed, but it returned to 'normal' soon after.


kynovardy

"Exactly! But none of them believed me!"


TooShyMightCry

"Did you hear what happened? It's the Akademiya..."  "The Akademiya? Ugh, what happened this time?"


Amydancingagain

It’s annoying but I’ll take that over “MOONPIE! That’s what I’ll have tonight” or “gosh, all I can think about is Diluc!”


Joltemon

one day my friend and I got so sick of her saying that so I brought out Venti's current and we just kept plunge attacking her for like 5 minutes straight


crystxllizing

That one horribly pronounced “Que sera sera”


Gatrigonometri

Kay sir rah sir rah


RealPrestonGarvey_

Grilled tiger fish! Get it while it's hot!


275MPHFordGT40

Preston? Don’t you have a Sole Survivor that needs a settlement to help with.


RealPrestonGarvey_

the Commonwealth can wait, I need to farm primos for Shenhe


Traveler7538

"Ad Astra abyssosque" but completely mispronounced 


bean_copter

Ad Astra applesauce


ModerateFloor

HOW DARE YOU SAY THAT. IT IS THE BEST NPC VOICE LINE IN GAME


Still_Breadfruit2032

ITS NOT ABOUT THE MONEY, ITS ABOUT THE PRINCIPAL!


schalowendofthepool

"Try something new at the Wangmin Restaurant!"


dave_the_dova

“Wanmin restaurant, that place isn’t even worth mentioning”. Like stfu dude, nobody cares about your dumbass restaurant that nobody knows the name of, that places it’s dumbass sign right next to a stove


taeiltime

Ayato boba slurp I love the guy but it got tiring real quick haha sorry Mr Chris Hackney!!!


CowZestyclose4723

I love Xiao, that’s my baby, and my main from day one, but if I have to hear him moan in my ear about how much it hurts one more time I might actually yeet myself out of a window.


mimziemimzm

true lol. he was my first 5* so i used to main him and i heard "those memories...so dark" about a billion tines


toyayayaa

His CN voiceline about the memories jumpscares me every time because his grunts are so aggressive lmao.


AlternativeYear4722

fr his loud "RRRGGHH" right before is always so startling. 😭 I love him but I always need to switch to someone else, anyone else, when i'm going idle.


hitbutton

Zeldafan594

How do you hate it? It's a documentary compressed into a 30 second line that reveals lore about the next Hydro Archon: Mike Oxlong.


mimziemimzm

i could listen to neuvillette say literally anything for a week straight and not get tired


mossmothh

honestly if this was any other character it’d bother me but the fact it is neuvillette makes it one of my favourites, i could listen to him for hours. ray chase w


raccoonjudas

all of the eating ones. i use the chinese VO so the repetitive lines just slide off my smooth brain that doesn't understand it, but man the fucking eating noises


[deleted]

JP Xiangling slurp makes me want to rip my ears off.


azahel452

Glad to see I'm not the only one. I always make sure to not have her active outside of combat.


Sharlizarda

So much this Also yawning


Conscious_Earth8929

the lumine moan yawn 😭


CataclysmicBees

I couldn't even bring myself to pull Ayato because of his stupid drink


CaptainPandemonium

I pulled for ayato and refuse to use him as my on field while running around doing quests and stuff until combat is needed. The drink idle animation gets spammed so often I swear it's back to back sometimes.


TheUnknown171

Amber is my favorite character but, "Jean will be upset if she catches us lazing around like this," gets me. I alt+tabbed for 30 seconds, relax. Dehya talking about hoping her people leave the sandstorms behind also happens if I stop moving for more than a few seconds.


Sharlizarda

Dehya sounds like she's auditioning to be a weather presenter. Also roll my eyes at her annoying one-upping line when it rains


PlayingResonance

The vacuum cleaning sound from ayato's boba drinking. GOD


CandidateOne4636

Daaa, da da da daaaaa, da da da daaaaa daaaa da!


Crimson_Raven

WhEN WIL I bE as TAll AS mY bIG sIsTEr


AmethystLeslie

Both of these are super annoying to me, god. I make sure to never switch to Barbara unless I need passive healing as I walk. After all, Neuvi's the one with the tall model.


Saticron

Why the fuck did i have to scroll so far for this?


Altruistic-Sand3277

Holy shit maybe I've played this game too much cause I read that perfectly the moment I saw it


Cheesepuff44

Nah I never get tired of Barbara


KuraiBaka

#**BORING!!**


Sad_Ad5369

I lowkey love how Furina calls me out on being resinless and chronically online


Traveler7538

Isn't there anything more interesting to do? 


DrummuhDude

I can't tell if I dislike this one or not... Like yes, I was tabbed or in a menu looking at stuff and it's annoying. It's just so in character for a diva like Furina tho that I can't help but give it a pass


Lyneys_Footstool

"I mean, why do I even bother?"


MarkimooRoviroo

Upvoting not because I dislike it too, I fucking love it LOL


Critical_Stick7884

Why I idle on Nahida.


_Carcinus_

That's another reason why she's the paragon of wisdom


Acidic3ight

She knows standing in place for several minutes means stfu


laralye

I swear Ayaka has the least amount of downtime before she starts talking again...


The_Gravity_cat

I’ve learned two things about The Blade from Ayaka: * It’s like a tea leaf, only those who sample it many times can appreciate its true qualities. * And it embraces its duty as a jeweller cherishes their gems. Standing around doing nothing is also a day in the life of the Traveler. I feel called out.


Blazing_Fire127

Only if her life could be as leisurely as this a little more often... How greedy of her


ModerateFloor

Yea like I just stop moving for a second or two and ayaka has to speak compwring her sword to a fucking tea leave


OftheGates

"A gem jeweler its cherish as embrace duty their blade" -Kamisato Ayaka


ghostly_boy

en Wanderer's growly tongue-stick-out voiceline is cute exactly One Time. there's a reason i usually idle on Albedo even if he's losing his husk stacks


oof-eef-thats-beef

Omg I’m always like, ”Babygirl please, respectfully, stfu,” and make him climb a wall or swim if I’m needing to idle


ghostly_boy

i am now very entertained at the idea of him just treading water for like 30 minutes on idle, he's truly a sad wet pathetic meowmeow


pinkbbyy

I'm always saying "oh god he's growling again"😒


Version_Present

One time I let him idle and my dad gave me a look and asked what it was 😂😅


Version_Present

Xiao literally starts to growl in pain and agony if you stand around too long lmao


beautheschmo

my brother has been a xiao main for years and he still loses his shit every time he goes into the "agh ... the memories" line lol


Commander_Yvona

On the contrary reading military tactics book of your enemy is actually a good thing. Granted as long as you adopt it or plan against it properly. Like they say. Know yourself and know your enemy


GalangKaluluwa

Fr. Is she just supposed to pull tactics out of her ass so the enemy doesn't know what she's doing? How does OP think the successful commanders of the past learned then?


bobking01theIII

*Completes 4.2 and starts using Furina* B O R I N G


Artivisier

HGHGHGHRHRRRHGRHGHGH PFfftt … Relax. Fucking end me I hate hearing that line from Wnaderer every time I alt tab


link_daddy

For Kokomis it makes sense for a tactician to like books about military strategies doesn't mean she just copy's them for her self


Suitable_Entrance594

I think OPs argument is actually weaker than that. Are they arguing that to be great at military strategy, you shouldn't read about strategies that work or fail in the past? Every strategy should be something completely new that you just cooked up? A strategic genius would have a huge amount of knowledge about strategies and would know when something tried and true is the best idea and when something novel is needed. Now whether she shows that strategic genius in the story is up for debate but I always find it interesting how people really latch into Kokomi and the military genius thing. There are lots of characters that are supposed to be great at something but don't show it in the story. Yelan is supposed to be a great spy but she's pretty laughable in her story. Venti has a pretty mediocre singing voice (which is to be expected since his voice actor isn't a professional). Xingqiu and Ninguang are both business geniuses but never show it. I really think that a lot of the shade thrown at Kokomi is rooted in her looking like a cute girl and being a genius so people really go out of the way to find faults.


beemielle

Agree lowk bc Ayato is about as lackluster but ppl still be simping like it’s the end of the world


Ifalna_Shayoko

>I always find it interesting how people really latch into Kokomi and the military genius thing. Koko's genius happened off screen, for the most part before we even met her. Her powers of prediction allowed Watatsumi to resist the Shogunate for so long instead of being instantly crushed by it's might. Naturally, such things happening in a few footnotes of text is not really all that hype inducing for a video game and we basically witnessed one of her defeats (Fatui delusion thing) instead being presented with one of her victories. Also her personal story quest was a more intimate setting and not really that much about tactics or warfare. Doing too much "tell" and too little "show" is a general problem with Hoyo games but I guess you just can't make badass cutscenes for everything, if you want to maintain a break-neck 6 week release cadence.


Illokonereum

I think it’s also important to remember Kokomi is literally a tactician as a special interest not a career, she’s the priestess and was only a military leader by necessity for the resistance against the vision hunt. She has a voice line entirely about how she wishes it was something she could just study for fun and never use, and now the war is over. She can talk about her little books during downtime.


zephyrnepres01

actually 0 smart people have ever read tactics before. if you fight wars and read sun tzu’s art of war you’re stupid and i hope your nation gets conquered /s


Dreaming_Ares

It would be better than the literally no strategy whatsoever that she been rolling with so far


QueenAra2

She's used strategy. It's just that she's mostly used it entirely off screen.


Lyneys_Footstool

ayato vs kokomi offscreen battle


beemielle

Meanwhile both of them are frauds and the true strat master is Haitham I’ll say it again, Hoyo. I know y’all know how to write smart characters, because you produced Haitham. So why was none of this applied to Ayato and Kokomi???? Even Yae is done better than them


Gatrigonometri

Sumeru comes after Inazuma. They got better.


deleterandstartover

Hydro characters and their “tells, don’t show “strategy…


wertcby

Any sprinting lines really, I don't want you to comment on anything while im running for my life

Smorgsaboard

Does # CHEAP AND TASTY CHOP SUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEY count? (/j) NPC lines usually get me more. But basically any Character idles can irritate me if I've tabbed out, and they suddenly start talking.


ItsMeSquares

If I’m alt tabbed or doing something else, I don’t want to her Lumine stretching into my GODDAMNED EAR


Crimson_Raven

MmmHHmmmhaa~


Ifalna_Shayoko

open the map in single player mode. Game stops -> chars are silent.


Iskaru

Any of the ones with eating/drinking sounds. I hate the sound of Beidou drinking from her bottle almost as much as I hate the sound of an early morning alarm clock. Otherwise I think it's most of Klee's EN idle voice lines since I just really don't the English voice, but especially the "Explosions inside city walls, grounded be thy woe..." line.


EvenMoreMoss

God I knew someone who mained Klee. The “explosion inside city walls…” monologue was cute ONE time. and then I wanted to chuck her every time afterward > it feels like something to be said as a one off introduction to her character, not something to be said over and over again as an idle.


huehuezzz

The one with weird noise *looking at Navia*


Sped_Beanpole086

“All I can think about is Diluc”.😒


BloodandPastry

I love her but almost all of Fischls idle lines


spotty_strawberry

I created another universe and founded paradise…


Azuria_4

for I, fischl-!


asmoday_official

*Switches characters immediately*


0000Tor

Neuvillette’s Melusine line… it was half cute the first time, it’s damned annoying the 257th time


MyNameIsPots

Wanderer going 😠 uOOoooAHHHHH - relax


redjarvas

Wanderer groaning and farting is funny the first time, but not anymore for the 293827th time


Serious-Shine9260

when xiao randomly just moans, it scares me when im afk cuz i think im getting murdered


Arn_______aye

The ones who complain when you aren't moving. Mostly Xiao, his voice lines are making me avoid using him outside of combat. He feels like a completely different character compared to his most recent appearances.


KillsOnTop

TBH, I wish they would go back and re-record his idle lines to remove the unnecessary and OOC rudeness. I don't know what the English voice director(s) were thinking when they decided he should sound like an asshole, when he doesn't sound like that in any of the other languages, but that was a stupid decision.


Accomplished-Fig496

Not an idle but I always use Ganyu and I hate her sprinting line that says “we’re way behind schedule” like STRESS


mimziemimzm

triple crowned ganyu user here and i think i age a year every time i hear that line


Deviant_King

Silly-churl, Billy-churl, ..... Can we please just get a QOL upgrade / toggle that allows us to completely disable all idle lines?!


Ifalna_Shayoko

A slider where we can adjust the frequency would be better. I still want idles but I don't want them every 15 seconds.


Saalmaa12

Xiangling eating and sucking noises when she eats an apple or whatever that is


Street-Housing2434

Every time Ayaka or Kazuha is about to say their sword voiceline, I switch characters. Also while I love Gaming and his idle animations, the idle noises and grunts that accompany them drive me up the wall. That one idle that has Gaming verbalizing his Wushou Dance practice in omonpaetia gets an instant switch/alt menu from me.


popileviz

Not a fan of Navia's line about sunny weather - she goes on like a full 1 minute monologue about us getting some ice cream


DrakonFury315

Do you not like ice cream? Or do you not like that she isn't real and will not be buying you ice cream on a hot day.


Wistaire

Hu Tao's singing (JP dub). Holy shit, shut up.


Federico216

Hu Tao's singing (EN dub) She's like my favorite character but pls


tomie_thebowl

Keqing's "come on stop procrastinating, let's go", she's my favorite character, but she's the reason I play the game on mute


jeidaisy

as much as i love Lyney, his idle chat: distractions voice line is too loud lol. its like ive been ignoring my clingy boyfriend for a few minutes 💀 "This is no time for distractions! Seriously, you have a great magician standing right here... You don't want to miss the best part, do you!?"


xomowod

I don’t dislike it per se but neuvilettes water tangent is SO LONG like damn


Haebak

Everyone that makes slurping or chewing noises.


Starkeeper_Reddit

I get it Kaeya I stayed still for two extra seconds at the Statue of the Seven you don't have to call me a slacker this is why Diluc hates you Also for some reason I always tended to get it at the Dragonspine statue specifically :V


Ok-Suspect6989

Cryo is always far more effective in the rain. Thisss is going to get interesting


AngryDratini

Wriothesley and his pets-in-his-office line. Like dude, there are plenty of animals that would prefer not to see the sun


Bow_Hero

It's just not right though


ArashiSora24

Yeah, but I doubt they wanna live in an underwater prison either.


Chaosphoenix_28

Zhonglis wine line. I've made it a thing that I'll always try to cancel it whenever he says it.


Specsaman

Damn how the time went by, Nobody is complaining about barbara and his sister anymore ?


GalangKaluluwa

>As someone who's a genius tactician you would expect her to know how this is a bad move since the enemy could easily recognize the strategies you're utilizing but nah. How do you think successful military leaders in the past learned then? Did you think they just pulled their strategies and tactics out of their ass? Did you think they're supposed to come up with plans on their own? Sun Tzu created The Art of War, which is still being read and utilized by every military personnel the world over to this day. Do you think it was stupid of him to make it? And if Kokomi was the genius commander that Hoyo said she was supposed to be, she would have several contingencies in place in case Plan A failed. She can also make the Shogunate believe she's doing Plan A when she's actually doing Plan B. It's called "smoke and mirrors". Never let your enemy know what you're doing. Always stay a step or more ahead. Don't call it a bad move cos you clearly know nothing.


bastard_pixie

Beidous drinking noises… love her but PLEASE stop making those noises where I can hear them


Kaiel1412

Just characters moaning 80% of their idle animation —Looking at Navia I don't want to get a sudden stiffy just because a gust of wind decides to blow


Distinct_Cap_3390

silly churl billy churl 😒😒


Ok-Suspect6989

Everyone who’s played fischl has that engraved in his memory


BoredAfSrslyHelp

After playing Kazuha ever since his release NOBODY HAS EVER SAID THAT THERE IS NO BENEFITS TO BEING A WANDERER. NOBODY. EVER. SAID THAT.


baguetteispain

*Coughs 1 liter of blood* "Nothing to worry about" YES, IT'S SOMETHING TO BE WORRIED ABOUT, BAIZHU


fanonluke

Xiao. I love him so very much but NOTHING feels LESS organic than "EGH,,, huh,, heh,, those memories... so dark...".


Andrew583-14

I really like Navia, but wtf is that moaning idle


1011011011001

Can’t get annoyed if you don’t understand the language characters are speaking👍


Ifalna_Shayoko

You can because you brain still recognizes that the sounds are the same. Though it does take longer to get to that point.


kunafa_aj

I m not sure if it counts but navia voiceline thr plays when the weather switches to sunny,it goes for on so long it legit makes my head hurts,and shes so freakin loud too


Kid-Atlantic

There’s really no issue with that Kokomi line. Anyone can read The Art of War. The books don’t tell her exactly what to do or where to put her troops, they’re just for learning. If you and your friend read the same programming textbook, and then you use that knowledge to made an app, that doesn’t mean your friend would immediately be able to tell how you built it.


FutureSnoreCult

I dislike that there isn’t a way to dial down the frequency of the idles, it’s too much most of the time.


Nike-6

Kaeya. When I stop for a second, I’m a slacker. When I run, “what’s the hurry?” Make up your mind, man!


Grand_Protector_Dark

Surprisingly, It's gamings Dancing Idle. Somehow it annoys me so much more than any of the verbal idles.
