At the cutscene where the twins meet Jean, Aether looks around the office observing his surroundings, while his sister looks directly at the people: she first looks at Lisa and then at Jean
Aether is analyzing the area, Lumine the people. Probably Aether thinks that is better to have a knowledge of the ground if anything happens, and Lumine to see people´s behavior.
They were always traveling and fighting together , lumine like the energic little sister she is goes straight to fight , while aether like the protective big brother he is look around to see if there is any other threat. You can see in both cutscenes and attack patterns that aether is more calm and defensive , why he runs faster to defend others , while lumine is more enetgic and emotive , why she is more offensive and attacks faster than aether
@@Succubus_L0li they were referring to the specific super obvious differences like lumine using 2 hands to get up while aether used only 1 during the scaramouche fight cutscene. also, for some of the parts where the animation is exactly the same, like in the combat scenes, they just model swap the travelers for a lot of it, which we know for a fact cuz there used to be a bug where sometimes a cutscene would show aether instead of lumine for a split second for lumine players back in the 2.x series of updates. idk if that bug still happens since I haven't heard anyone talk about the bug since, and I have aether.
@@Succubus_L0li so I’m going to be the um actually guy here but they don’t animate it twice at least not from scratch for the moments when the twins have the same/ almost same animation. For animation in 3d models what makes it be able to move is a skeleton and the model is just rigged to it with the ability to change what model it’s attached to. That’s how mods that change characters into another and why things like clipping happens because it’s animation meant for a drastically different model.
She also seems to have better swordsmanship or at least her stance is better. She usually keeps her stats while aether tends to move out of it when he's not directly rushing at someone
@@zelkovasmore charged attack dmg by a bit actually, their dmg is same if same build and critting on both, ofc u can't expect a not even built lvl 20 Aether with a dull blade to be stronger than a lvl 90,full invested lumine right?
"Feral" 😂 Honestly, Aether and Lumine are strong with both biceps and legs. As the previous comment mentioned, Lumine has more charged atk dmg by a small margin, while Aether with the male body type can run faster and farther So I'd say Aether's just being an action-packed protagonist while Lumine would just be "slay queen" pizzazz
In the Opening cutscene when Lumine attacks Unknown god , explosion after it are bigger and you can see yellow lightnings. While one sibling has dark background, other has more bright. Just put both cutscene aside by side and you will see
In the game? Don't know. In this video colors are completely different because of game settings. My guess is that they were captured on different devices
@@liaselleaeri at 0:17 you can see the rocks in the background being slightly different shade and lumine's side is slightly more blurry while aether's side is more crips. This is the same throughout the video. at 1:34 you can see similar things with the pavement in the background, and the colors being slightly off on Amber (her hair and skin). In the first timestamp it could be due to ingame time, because those cutscenes are rendered in the overworld directly. That's why the clouds are different for example. But in the second timestamp that is a pre-rendered cutscene, so every model should be identical. The reason they are not is because of device settings, or possibly even just recording software being different. Clear signs of two different machines being used. I also just noticed that Amber is wearing a different outfit between the takes, so only her skin and hair should be taken into account, not her clothing. but hey, i'm not saying that Aether and Lumine's anemo actually is same colors, just saying that in this video it's not clear because of different devices being used to capture footage.
I always find that Aether being more defensive. His stance pose, his blade placement.. and wherever he goes, he always look around, keeping awareness to the surrounding. While Lumine was total opposite. She's more offensive. Her stance and blade placement always indicating that she's preparing to strike. But she's weaker in defense, as we always see she holds her chest/ stomach longer than Aether indicating that she took longer time to recover. I guess when they're together, Lumine was the one to strike while Aether cover her blindspots, as their attack pattern always cover each other's vulnerable spot. Also Lumine has more charged attack scaling while Aether has more base hp and def. Imagine how vulnerable you're being separated like that. Not mentioning being nerfed to the ground.
When Childe was fighting against Neuvillette she seemed more worried and sad than Aether while Aether seemed to have a more aggressive expression about what was happening
Aether has slightly more base hp and lumine has slightly more base atk Also if you analyze their basic attacks they look like they are fighting together like one attacks while other watches their backs
@@billcipher1702 Betcha Aether has slight more HP and Defense. So Aether knew how to take the blow. Lumine has slight more Base ATK. Lumine will just have chance to attack from behind when teamwork is done.
Yeah and I think Aether uses one hand to fight with his sword and use his geo skill while lumine uses one hand to fight with her sword and the other hand to use her geo skill. In their geo bursts, Aether punches the ground while lumine stomps the ground. There's even a difference with their anemo bursts.
@@sakuuux3 same they are like sun and moon while they are similar they have different traits lumine seems more colder when she isn't the traveler while Aether feels more determined than cold.
in other times lumine looked like the older twin in both versions but in Xianyun's story quest she looked like a little girl who saw her big brother again and ran towards him with nothing stopping her in both versions 😭😭😭
I really like how their movements are different in certain scenes. It further emphasises that, although they are the male and female player characters, they are also both their own individual characters! That is one thing I really love about Genshin Impact! The player characters arent just gender flips of each other! Both of them are actual canon characters with their own names and personalities, regardless of which one you pick!
xianyun story quest cutscene: somber, bittersweet, mkes u wanna hug the traveller-- wrio music playing in the bg: WERE GOING TO THE ABYSS WITH THIS ONEE 🗣🗣🗣🗣
i didn't notice that until you pointed it out but i saw that at 8:00 (on the close up) aether was also crying, his tears just smaller (maybe it's one of those things that show that girls are more emotional than boy's, yk,like another detail to their different genders and personalities)
@@Alicein07imo, I think it’s a bit stereotypical of Genshin for that whole stick but, yeah, as an Aether player (at least due to my Aether acc being more leveled) he doesn’t cry as visibly. It’s still there though, as you said.
The way they run to hug each other and Aether spins Lumine is just heart breaking ;( that shows how much the traveler actually misses their twin and cares about them. I cannot wait for them to reunite.
I don’t know why but in the we will be reunited cutscene I noticed that the abyss twin’s facial expressions are like- idk different??? It may just be their models face structure but while Aether looked bittersweet and kind of hesitant, Lumine looked distant like she’s reliving a memory. It may not say much but to me it explains their personal personalities so well. Even though we can only speculate it seems as if Lumine is much more headstrong, determined as she looks back at the past without frowning or smiling, since it’s the past to her. While Aether feels more emotionally inclined, he looks at the past compared to the future and feels bittersweet. Anyway thanks for listening to this spiel, I play as Aether so it’s cool seeing Lumine’s side of things. But honestly I’m glad I personally chose Aether cause Lumine is much more mysterious to me- lol. Have a good night/day and to the creator, good job on the great video!!
I also noticed this when it comes to that scene, Aether has that bittersweet expression while Lumine has a much colder one, you can really see the difference in their personalities especially regarding about the past experiences
@@Zinph_I don't know if it's just me but imo, Lumine fits the "villain twin" role so much, her stance, her voice, her expression are all so perfect while Aether fits the Traveler one, as I can say he's much more expressive and he really compliments Paimon's personality as well. I don't know if it's just me but villainous Lumine has hits me so hard.
Meeting Childe and Jeth is a big difference too...also the guys below my comment.. no one can praise Lumi they say Aether is better, that's really sad 😐
The Xianyun syory quest cutscene is one of my favorites, showcases my two favorite characters in a reunion. Contrary to the title, I noticed all but one detail which is here: 2:28 where Aether has a different gesture than Lumine. I'm glad people are still making these kinds of videos with the main twins ♡
8:00 I loved that they actually moved the camera to the other side to match the twin view. They could have made it super cheap if they'd flipped the video but we could have noticed it by looking at their clothes haha
One point I noticed immediately (it was why I picked her) was that Lumine had her sword in the left hand when they were together at the beginning. Despite switching her sword to the right hand since, the various combat animations make it clear she's far closer to ambidextrous, preferring her left hand for "spellcasting" where Aether prefers to momentarily free up his right. While the developers not creating separate Hydro Bursts (there are potential problems with making the "water ball" spin in different directions)) leaves me doubtful, it's still possible that Aether's professed favoritism for Pyro and Lumine's for Cryo (it's in their voice line banks) may differentiate their later kits.
@@suus-arido393 Check the conversation with Paimon about slimes. It's not the only line that's different (unless Yae Miko has also been cross-dressing Aether in shrine maiden cosplay for future tourist brochure photos?), but it seems to be the first one.
@@taru5156 I'm left-handed. I don't demand left-handed characters, and I don't always play one if one's available, I do not believe it's realistic in anything too based on our world for there to be a lot of them around (there are good reasons it'll be a steady 5-15% of any human population; even in a fantasy or sci-fi setting altering this it's far more likely that minority will just get flipped than that it'll go closer to even), I can accept that even in a lot of games with character customization there can be technical problems with allowing that particular option. (Not usually in MMOs, the Matrix Online being an notable exception.) I'm not an activist, and don't think this is worth activism. (Being left-handed does in fact provably screw you over to the extent of statistically reducing your life span, but any fixes would prove worse than the problem.) That said, at the start of playing the game - and I went in pretty much blind since I knew since the game's release I'd want to play it at some point and see how exactly gacha mechanics and game balancing combined with open-world gameplay - it was as good a reason as any to choose. While it turns out the few differences in personality are ones where I'd appreciate Lumine's viewpoint more, I didn't know that at the time. Hoping that the main story will ultimately be followed by a NG+ mode in which both twins will be available and we can replay huge chunks of the main game and events.
@@DanaOtken For me, it was more the fact that A. I'm left handed, B. I had platinum blonde hair as a kid and C. I'm the sort who focuses more on offense (Which makes me terrible as a Tank, lol)
i was so surprised when we meet our sibling in Dainsleif quest i thought we will not meet our twin only in the end game but no i was so shocked and then when the twin left us i said oh we r searching for u everywhere but u was purposely avoiding us -_-
Kudos to you man, I love seeing their differences and similarities. Lumine seems to be more of the offensive when the twins were together, but she's now seen always keeping a hand close to her chest on guard. Meanwhile Aether's weapon stance is usually defensive but the hand not holding the sword is never defensive 5:30 Aether became spiderman for a sec
If you all pay attention before they get the anemo power aether’s chest piece is black but Lumine’s is white 0:33 (sorry if someone has already said this)
That was fun to watch! There're also other subtle differences, right now I can remember for example their voicelines, where Lumine says she likes Cryo slimes (something about them being useful in summer) and Aether prefers Pyro slimes (you'd need them in winter). Or the way they hold on Kaeya's hand in his hangout. Also I think there's a difference how they react during Childe's transformation in Fontaine's court ^^
2:09 Aether went to Fontaine before saving Mondstadt lol Also I love the subtle differences they have for the twins. Even down to their dialogues in the Traveler voicelines in profile
What on the ... how's that even possible? How is this even possible? Even if you go around the all the lamds and touch the statues, you can not resonate with elements those not part of the Arcon quest.
New players,maps are already unlocked in newer patch...the Liyue waterfall near Fontaine is actually a shortcut just glide till you reached the Fontaine beach,there's a statue nearby
As an Aether user, I still prefer him. I love Lumine sooo so much, but Aether fits to the traveler hero and his little girlie pop companion so much better. The way he's brave but careful, and do anything without hesitation fits better on a traveler. Also, Lumine is SUCH A GOOD EVIL PRINCESS LIKE DAMNN the way her eyes are so careless fits her better. AND her sword is more badass as a "villain". I always liked how Aether was a friend with everyone when they just met. He's so friendly and still serious. The way he's looking around and was always amused by the nature. I JUST LOVE HIM
it’ basically showing general differences between two genders, some aren’t necessarily “styles”, from the postures to range of movement, it actually depicts mechanical restrictions and implies differences in bone structure, weight distribution, even the factor of “balls” in the way they sit there’s also the behaviors which goes into biopsych territory, Aether moves with heavier arms and interacts with the world more(basically his upper body moves more “free-er”), while Lumine moves more delicately and somewhat “defensive”, she’s often with lifted-hands in tense or anxious situations(instinctual stance to protect the chest which for girls is more vulnerable) pretty good job with these little details
@@AstronomicalJelly yes, AND muscle/weight distribution. with the so called “manspread” it shows Aether having thinner hips(because he has balls which is also why males naturally tend to sit wide open), Lumine has wider hips and a thick-to-thin less-cylindrical legs.
it's a very typical female animation style (at least in anime) that girls put their knees together more and hence also run so damn awkwardly like they all have knock knees, and elbows close to body while arms are flared out >_> like how many actual females run like that?!
I agree with that, but i also think that there's a biological factor to consider too. Female pelvises are structured in a way that allows for the legs to be more close together, compared to male pelvises whose structures make it so that the legs are more opened
Also there are a few differences, such as the Traveler reaching out for Dvalin’s tear, which is attributed to them using Aether’s model as a base. He’s a bigger person so his hand is under the tear while Lumine’s is not. This also happens in the Inazuma sword dueling event where Ayaka points to Aether’s heart when making her little speech but ends up pointing at Lumine’s throat.
Some things I notice at start of game, both Traveler is quite different by attitude and, traits maybe? Aether seems to looking around more, shows that he's more observant on surrounding than Lumine, clearly he's the older sibling, as JP and KOR dub said Lumine that seems hesitant to touch the statue also shows that she's, well, not used to be on her own, maybe, like she used to have Aether to make sure everything is safe, so now that she's on her own, she's having more time to adapt with her surrounding Aether seems to have stronger arms, while Lumine have stronger legs. I think we all know about it now Sitting position, napping position, and running position is just showing that they're male and female, I like that HYV keep it around in each scene, a little things to differentiate them Now overtime, their difference is seems to dissipate one by one (except the fact they're male and female), but Xianyun's story quest kinda point us out again that Lumine is the younger sister. Because the fact that she's immediately break down and run into her brother (in dream ofc), kinda shows that she's missing him too much, whereas Aether is still trying to keep his cool (he break down eventually) I'm a Lumine player myself, I really love her that I actually build my Lumine as strong as I can, and keep her around team (at least now in story or just for immersion, but she's basically ready and not benched). Seeing this video, I kinda like how the character development goes for her. From the usual backseater that used to have his brother to look everything for her, to completely her own, staying strong and also observant to everything while keep caring to everyone like a princess she should be
i interpret it as lumine being headstrong and focused, keeping her mind on the objective and ignoring all distractions, while aether is more defensive and cautious and observes his surroundings. it kinda shows in their battle stances, aether is slightly hunched and holding his sword straight down while lumine stands tall and holds it an an angle like she's prepared to attack. in a different cutscene aether is also shown holding his sword in a "block" pose while lumine is swinging it like she's attacking i think that's why they work best together, aether is observant and watches for his surroundings while lumine is focused and keeps them on the right path
I do disagree that Aether is not the older brother (surprisingly). If you do listen to the story told by Venti, ‘Once there was a glorious kingdom established among the heavens…’ we see Lumine has the first crowned heir which means she’s older. And then it says she was deceived when trying to find a pearl from the kingdom of darkness and now believed that she is the queen of kingdom of darkness. Then in the cutscene right after, ‘But take heart, the second crowned heir had already taken up the path were the first had stumbled’ shows Aether which means he’s the younger twin and the actual protagonist. Also, in all the banners or posters and whatever for the story quest like Mondstadt and Liyue, it’s of Aether and Lumine (No hate to you. Just wanted you to know that fact. Have a great day!)
@@Arius6454 First of all, the battlepass almost certainly references someone else, not the twins. Otherwise there'd be two cutscenes, as is with all permanent in-game content. Second, Lumine addresses Aether as older brother in Jp, Kn and Cn dubs, and Aether calls her "younger sister". English doesn't have a similarly common way of address to indicate who's older (saying "give my *older* brother back would sound very unnatural), so this is lost in translation
Basically what I can tell is much like the slight difference in their fighting stats, Aether is the shield and Lumine is the sword. They also have opposing dominant hands when they fight. They both look around a lot just Lumine does it with her eyes rather than her whole body which also tracks, physical movement would give away where she’s looking in fights and make it easier to predict her movements, Aether being a shield he basically needs to be shielding everywhere he looks. Aether gives off the impression that he just refuses to be overtly distrustful, he trusts in himself that he can manage whatever happens regardless of the outcome. Lumine on the other hand seems to overtly distrust when given a reason but will play along with whatever the situation may be. (In a Fontaine world quest it’s confirmed that lumine behaves this way idk about Aether I don’t play as him) She just seems generally less surprised by betrayals than Aether.
It's even more interesting that, while it's not explicitly pointed out in the video, you can clearly see the arms/legs difference, wherein Lumine, even when she's standing up from a crouch, be it slowly or into a sprint, she does so without using her arms for support, meanwhile Aether does, like at 6:04 (Aether pushes his arm on his knee for the burst of speed, Lumine just dashes with her legs) or 9:13 (Aether stands up by pushing the ground, Lumine just uses her legs)
All videos like this really prove to me is that they didn't just copy/paste everything, as some people have said that they did... I like playing the game anyway, but it's nice to see that there are some differences (even if they still lead to the same outcome anyway...)...😁
They don’t copy and paste exactly. They make the movements for Lumine and insert her where Aether is. It’s why the model is sometimes off, like when reaching for Dvalin’s tear, since Aether is a bigger person than Lumine.
The one with white gloves is her alternative outfit, which is only utilised in newer versions of the game, it doesn't matter whether your Traveler is Aether or Lumine.
I remember starting genshin the 1st day it came out the opening scene was amazing to me and choosing aether but I never really played Lumine so I didn't really ever have to chance to notice the differences I never really switched servers
I love this kind of objective comparison. Cus people really need to stop taking down one of them just because they like the other more :(they both are cute in their own ways. And its really even sadder because they both love each other so much and having people being so competitive on trying to make one better than the other is really sucks
If you look at their charge atk,Lumine does more dmg, and by looking at the poses at 5:23, Lumine is more of a attacker while Aether is the defender (Maybe you already covered that)
She seems more cold in the voice lines and even in some elemental abilities. When using the Geo ult, Aether has to slam the ground with his fist while Lumine just stomps (though this does prove that Lumine doesn’t skip leg day and Aether doesn’t skip arm day)
yeah I picked lumine and god aether seems so depressed as the abyss prince and I love it. It really feels like he's been fighting for 400 years seperated from his sibling. Seeing all the pain and suffering of the khaenri'ahn people. To me it recharaterized moments like the attempt to undue the curse. It went from "stupid doomed to fail and uncaring act" to "desperate last attempt to bring the people he loved so much"
I liked that in various aspects Lumine does things that a girl would do and Aether does things that boys would do hahahaha. I simply love these details
Kind of glad I chose Aether. He seems more reactionary to the things going on around him compared to Lumine. But, I’m glad to see the differences between the two characters. It shows their gameplay is slightly different, if only in appearance.
Women and men move differently in different circumstances. The art is wonderful and the drawers took his into consideration when they were creating the characters! Chops to HoYo!
What I love about gnsn is that they add subtle differences between the twins. At first i thought that Lumine and Aether wont have differences so they will be just like the same person but different genders type of MC. But I slowly realized that they have subtle difference and it doesnt only happen like thrice. And it makes me appreciate both MCs as their own character instead. And I can tell that hoyo has always intended Aether as the canonical MC protagonist and Lumine the canonical Antagonist. And I cant help but cry at the 4.7 dain quest, I can feel how much Aether misses Lumine and I know Lumine misses him as much. It's so depressing yet heartwarming. AND LETS NOT FORGET THE DREAM SCENE IN XIANYUN'S QUEST...I BAWLED SO HARD...and Nahida's bday scene punched my face hard with that dream scene too....
When greeting Traveler after our meet with Davin, during when the Traveler started gliding, Amber’s gloves were different colors with Aether vs Lumine. With Aether they were white, with Lumine they were brown
One had the original outfit, while the other had the altered outfit. China had issue with some character outfits and were forced to chance them going forward.
Aether’s paying attention to his surroundings, Lumine is focused on one thing. It also reflects in their combat style. Lumine’s attacks are faster but Aether’s is broader. She’s more offensive, he’s more defensive.
1:59 Abyss Aether lifts his chin up to look down on the abyss mage. It looks like he’s intentionally trying to show his power, like making people believe he’s above them. Abyss Lumine doesn’t need to *pretend* to display her power, even with an even gaze it’s clear that she’s more powerful. Also, in general, it seems Lumine is more focused on her goal where Aether is more like “hmm…but what’s *this?”*
None of the top portion makes sense. Why would he need to pretend when nothing is confirmed that she’s the more powerful sibling and even then, why would he need to pretend in front of an abyss mage? Honestly, he even lifts a heavy piece of rock off him with one hand whereas she struggles with two… it’s simply for aesthetics and differentiating attitude between the two to make them feel separate.
@@AstronomicalJelly And People are allowed to criticize their “interpretation” too so your point belongs in the same place as this interpretation you’re defending, very fitting. Hit me with something that makes sense?
That's why I think aether is the main canon character, although it seems like he's searching for his sister, he's mostly just chilling throughout the story and doing all side quest. While lumine is too serious imo and wouldnt care to help ppl unless it's benefits her.
@@Artryom I’m talking about when both of them are displayed as the Abyss Sibling. Because both twins can be the abyss sibling. Watch back at the timestamp I marked.
Its adorable that they have these differences in my opinion, 1. It shows how much care was put into making them different, and 2. It makes them feel even more like siblings who are on good terms.
I guess it’s not that noticeable bc that chest piece is smaller on Lumine, it has more gold and her outfit is almost white and Anemo color is light too.
I think in certain positions, like 0:23 and 1:26, Aether has his legs in a position where it's a bit too revealing for Lumine to be in since he has pants, and she has a dress
Aether is the defender of the team, he uses defensive stances while fightting and always scouts his surroundings. Lumine is the attacker of the team, she uses an attacking stance and lokks straight forward towards the objective. As a result lumine can be seen more insecure in certain scenarios because she doesn't have her defender along side her, while aether appears more brave because he dosn't have anyone to protect anymore and can just focus on fighting
esto deja muy en claro la teoría de que sus estilos de lucha se complementan. mientras Lumine mantiene su vista fija en su enemigo (ofensa), Aether se centra en los alrededores haciendo control de daños defendiendo a su hermana y cubriendo sus puntos debiles (defensa)
The way Lumine looks straight and Aether looks around makes me imagine them together entering the room like Lumine enters first, ready to enter the battle. Aether looks around to see if there's any danger. Referencing to their strength with Lumine having the high attack dmg and Aether covering her blind spots.
If yyou look closely at 5:57 aether is also using both hands but in a different position unless he has 8 fingers on one hand by just a smale detail to look out for
My father told me you should never underestimate the strength of a girl's kick, as a girl during his martial arts class, who was a foot shorter than my dad, broke his hand in one kick.
There is certainly a difference between them because they are male and female. To be clear, Aether wouldn't have sat like Lumine in the first quest because it is a feminine movement and Lumine cannot do the same thing I hope you understood this simplified explanation💀💀💀 they are so cuties...
Yeah. I wouldn't categorise any way of sittimg as feminine or masculine because i don't believe in those, but CLEARLY Lumime is sitting with her legs closer together because she's wearing a dress.
If they didn’t have those, there wouldn’t be any point in choosing which aside from looks but even then they look very similar. Glad they didn’t decide to make it stale. Need more differences between the two in video games where you choose the gender and such.
I love how they’re actually they’re own character, not just the same character genderbent and with a different outfit. Also, it solidifies that I did, in fact, choose the right twin for myself, Aether is definitely way more me💀🙏
part 2:- ruclips.net/video/zJiwHoiLsao/видео.html
What we learned:
Lumine doesn't skip leg day
Aether doesn't skip arm day
Basically Lumine is Chun Li main, Aether is Muhammad Ali main
Edit: or actually, Lumine is Heizou main, Aether is rizzley main
conclusion: they both suffer from the twink curse.
@@shanedoesyoutube8001 Lumine is Hwoarang main, while Aether is Steve Fox main 😂
Lumine is Sideswipe, Aether is Ironhide
Which is funny because Aether is the slightly faster twin and Lumine the slightly stronger one so really it should be reversed
Aether prefers to take in his surrounding, getting distracted or just really enjoys the scenery while Lumine is focus on the goal/objective
At the cutscene where the twins meet Jean, Aether looks around the office observing his surroundings, while his sister looks directly at the people: she first looks at Lisa and then at Jean
Well he had to protect his sister after all, so of course he's gonna be wary of everything around her
Aether is analyzing the area, Lumine the people. Probably Aether thinks that is better to have a knowledge of the ground if anything happens, and Lumine to see people´s behavior.
They were always traveling and fighting together , lumine like the energic little sister she is goes straight to fight , while aether like the protective big brother he is look around to see if there is any other threat. You can see in both cutscenes and attack patterns that aether is more calm and defensive , why he runs faster to defend others , while lumine is more enetgic and emotive , why she is more offensive and attacks faster than aether
Nah its just all the pretty girls we're getting that makes aether distracted.
Yk I love how the staff gave them different animations and little details because it shows they really put effort in both twins
It's because they animated it twice, of course it's not gonna be completely the same even if by accident
@@Succubus_L0li they were referring to the specific super obvious differences like lumine using 2 hands to get up while aether used only 1 during the scaramouche fight cutscene. also, for some of the parts where the animation is exactly the same, like in the combat scenes, they just model swap the travelers for a lot of it, which we know for a fact cuz there used to be a bug where sometimes a cutscene would show aether instead of lumine for a split second for lumine players back in the 2.x series of updates. idk if that bug still happens since I haven't heard anyone talk about the bug since, and I have aether.
@@Succubus_L0li so I’m going to be the um actually guy here but they don’t animate it twice at least not from scratch for the moments when the twins have the same/ almost same animation. For animation in 3d models what makes it be able to move is a skeleton and the model is just rigged to it with the ability to change what model it’s attached to. That’s how mods that change characters into another and why things like clipping happens because it’s animation meant for a drastically different model.
unlike the starrail museum projecter 😅
So basically:
Aether:"Curious feral boi with strong biceps"
Lumine: "Goal set woman with strong legs"
She also seems to have better swordsmanship or at least her stance is better. She usually keeps her stats while aether tends to move out of it when he's not directly rushing at someone
@@doriankamanzi6874 she also does more damage than Aether.
@@zelkovasmore charged attack dmg by a bit actually, their dmg is same if same build and critting on both, ofc u can't expect a not even built lvl 20 Aether with a dull blade to be stronger than a lvl 90,full invested lumine right?
"Feral" 😂
Honestly, Aether and Lumine are strong with both biceps and legs. As the previous comment mentioned, Lumine has more charged atk dmg by a small margin, while Aether with the male body type can run faster and farther
So I'd say Aether's just being an action-packed protagonist while Lumine would just be "slay queen" pizzazz
The anemo color is slightly different too: Aether is more greenish while Lumine it’s blueish.
In the Opening cutscene when Lumine attacks Unknown god , explosion after it are bigger and you can see yellow lightnings. While one sibling has dark background, other has more bright. Just put both cutscene aside by side and you will see
Pretty sure that's device/game settings and not related to which twin you pick
In the game? Don't know. In this video colors are completely different because of game settings. My guess is that they were captured on different devices
@@lorewalkermaohao4602 if it's the game settings, then how come it's the only noticeable difference in color throughout the whole video
@@liaselleaeri at 0:17 you can see the rocks in the background being slightly different shade and lumine's side is slightly more blurry while aether's side is more crips. This is the same throughout the video.
at 1:34 you can see similar things with the pavement in the background, and the colors being slightly off on Amber (her hair and skin).
In the first timestamp it could be due to ingame time, because those cutscenes are rendered in the overworld directly. That's why the clouds are different for example.
But in the second timestamp that is a pre-rendered cutscene, so every model should be identical. The reason they are not is because of device settings, or possibly even just recording software being different.
Clear signs of two different machines being used.
I also just noticed that Amber is wearing a different outfit between the takes, so only her skin and hair should be taken into account, not her clothing.
but hey, i'm not saying that Aether and Lumine's anemo actually is same colors, just saying that in this video it's not clear because of different devices being used to capture footage.
I always find that Aether being more defensive. His stance pose, his blade placement.. and wherever he goes, he always look around, keeping awareness to the surrounding.
While Lumine was total opposite. She's more offensive. Her stance and blade placement always indicating that she's preparing to strike. But she's weaker in defense, as we always see she holds her chest/ stomach longer than Aether indicating that she took longer time to recover.
I guess when they're together, Lumine was the one to strike while Aether cover her blindspots, as their attack pattern always cover each other's vulnerable spot.
Also Lumine has more charged attack scaling while Aether has more base hp and def.
Imagine how vulnerable you're being separated like that. Not mentioning being nerfed to the ground.
wait so question, if lumine has more charged attack scaling and focuses on offense, is she more stronger than aether cannonly??
@@aura8539 Perhaps. She also has more attack speed. Aether might be stronger in other forms tho.
@@aura85395:56
Yeah, no, not physically, probably just favors different styles rather than everyone’s favorite powerscaling.
@@Dann69420more attack speed? is it bcs she has smaller model so it has that illusion
@@taru5156 Not really, if you put them side by side, she does attack faster. Just search for their differences
Another detail that you missed but before Childe betray us, While Lumine was cautiously distrusting Child while aether was completely trusting him
Bro Aether is gonna get kidnapped from free ice cream 😭😭
I CACKLED
men are brave🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿
When Childe was fighting against Neuvillette she seemed more worried and sad than Aether while Aether seemed to have a more aggressive expression about what was happening
@@Jaxv3rREFERENCE?
I like that the only thing that changes in the Xianyun SQ cutscene is which sibling has the elemental resonance
I think the sky changes too
aether seems to be the defensive one as he looks around at his surroundings
lumine seems to be the one who'd jump into a fight no matter what 😂
Aether has slightly more base hp and lumine has slightly more base atk
Also if you analyze their basic attacks they look like they are fighting together like one attacks while other watches their backs
@@billcipher1702
Betcha Aether has slight more HP and Defense.
So Aether knew how to take the blow.
Lumine has slight more Base ATK.
Lumine will just have chance to attack from behind when teamwork is done.
Yeah and I think Aether uses one hand to fight with his sword and use his geo skill while lumine uses one hand to fight with her sword and the other hand to use her geo skill. In their geo bursts, Aether punches the ground while lumine stomps the ground. There's even a difference with their anemo bursts.
@@memsmoks4242 i love the details sm
just saw a video of their attack patterns side by side, they complement each other!
@@sakuuux3 same they are like sun and moon while they are similar they have different traits lumine seems more colder when she isn't the traveler while Aether feels more determined than cold.
in other times lumine looked like the older twin in both versions but in Xianyun's story quest she looked like a little girl who saw her big brother again and ran towards him with nothing stopping her in both versions 😭😭😭
If I'm not mistaken Lumine calls Aether as a "Onii-chan" in jp and "Oppa" in kr dub
(The meaning is "older brother")

IT HURRRTTSSSS
I really like how their movements are different in certain scenes. It further emphasises that, although they are the male and female player characters, they are also both their own individual characters!
That is one thing I really love about Genshin Impact! The player characters arent just gender flips of each other! Both of them are actual canon characters with their own names and personalities, regardless of which one you pick!

Yeah you right! I tought that the two of us doing it but it just lumine (sorry for my bad english i'm french)
i didn't notice that until you pointed it out but i saw that at 8:00 (on the close up) aether was also crying, his tears just smaller
(maybe it's one of those things that show that girls are more emotional than boy's, yk,like another detail to their different genders and personalities)
@@Alicein07imo, I think it’s a bit stereotypical of Genshin for that whole stick but, yeah, as an Aether player (at least due to my Aether acc being more leveled) he doesn’t cry as visibly. It’s still there though, as you said.
@@Suited_Nat agreed
Love them
I cry over the end, where brother and sister have a good time together..
Hopefully Someday
What are these cutscenes from? I've never seen them. And who is that mommy character?
Xianyun is good mother figure from many characters after the all.
The way they run to hug each other and Aether spins Lumine is just heart breaking ;( that shows how much the traveler actually misses their twin and cares about them. I cannot wait for them to reunite.
I don’t know why but in the we will be reunited cutscene I noticed that the abyss twin’s facial expressions are like- idk different??? It may just be their models face structure but while Aether looked bittersweet and kind of hesitant, Lumine looked distant like she’s reliving a memory. It may not say much but to me it explains their personal personalities so well. Even though we can only speculate it seems as if Lumine is much more headstrong, determined as she looks back at the past without frowning or smiling, since it’s the past to her. While Aether feels more emotionally inclined, he looks at the past compared to the future and feels bittersweet.
Anyway thanks for listening to this spiel, I play as Aether so it’s cool seeing Lumine’s side of things. But honestly I’m glad I personally chose Aether cause Lumine is much more mysterious to me- lol. Have a good night/day and to the creator, good job on the great video!!
@KazuheiIsCanon Xiaother- the real reason Hoyo advertises Aether as the canon traveler 💀🫡
@KazuheiIsCanon I choose her and I don't regret it, most because of Jeth
I also noticed this when it comes to that scene, Aether has that bittersweet expression while Lumine has a much colder one, you can really see the difference in their personalities especially regarding about the past experiences
@@Zinph_I don't know if it's just me but imo, Lumine fits the "villain twin" role so much, her stance, her voice, her expression are all so perfect while Aether fits the Traveler one, as I can say he's much more expressive and he really compliments Paimon's personality as well. I don't know if it's just me but villainous Lumine has hits me so hard.
@@brymori you probably consider her more cold because you chose Aether, but her role as the traveler she is very cute tho
Lumine "trying hard to be angy but cute" face is clearly the biggest difference
Meeting Childe and Jeth is a big difference too...also the guys below my comment.. no one can praise Lumi they say Aether is better, that's really sad 😐
Aether was so cute too. Simply, you're just afraid of being called "g4y". Even though it's just pure appreciation
Aether looks cuter 😂

@@-irene-29 same here
The Xianyun syory quest cutscene is one of my favorites, showcases my two favorite characters in a reunion.
Contrary to the title, I noticed all but one detail which is here: 2:28 where Aether has a different gesture than Lumine. I'm glad people are still making these kinds of videos with the main twins ♡
8:00 I loved that they actually moved the camera to the other side to match the twin view. They could have made it super cheap if they'd flipped the video but we could have noticed it by looking at their clothes haha
7:54 my fav scene in this whole game 😭✨🥺
which quest bro?
@@ismamexeXianyun quest
One point I noticed immediately (it was why I picked her) was that Lumine had her sword in the left hand when they were together at the beginning. Despite switching her sword to the right hand since, the various combat animations make it clear she's far closer to ambidextrous, preferring her left hand for "spellcasting" where Aether prefers to momentarily free up his right. While the developers not creating separate Hydro Bursts (there are potential problems with making the "water ball" spin in different directions)) leaves me doubtful, it's still possible that Aether's professed favoritism for Pyro and Lumine's for Cryo (it's in their voice line banks) may differentiate their later kits.
Ooh what voice line is that?? 👀
@@suus-arido393 Check the conversation with Paimon about slimes. It's not the only line that's different (unless Yae Miko has also been cross-dressing Aether in shrine maiden cosplay for future tourist brochure photos?), but it seems to be the first one.
so what the actual reason u picked her? bcs she is left handed? bcs she is a grill?
@@taru5156 I'm left-handed. I don't demand left-handed characters, and I don't always play one if one's available, I do not believe it's realistic in anything too based on our world for there to be a lot of them around (there are good reasons it'll be a steady 5-15% of any human population; even in a fantasy or sci-fi setting altering this it's far more likely that minority will just get flipped than that it'll go closer to even), I can accept that even in a lot of games with character customization there can be technical problems with allowing that particular option. (Not usually in MMOs, the Matrix Online being an notable exception.)
I'm not an activist, and don't think this is worth activism. (Being left-handed does in fact provably screw you over to the extent of statistically reducing your life span, but any fixes would prove worse than the problem.) That said, at the start of playing the game - and I went in pretty much blind since I knew since the game's release I'd want to play it at some point and see how exactly gacha mechanics and game balancing combined with open-world gameplay - it was as good a reason as any to choose. While it turns out the few differences in personality are ones where I'd appreciate Lumine's viewpoint more, I didn't know that at the time.
Hoping that the main story will ultimately be followed by a NG+ mode in which both twins will be available and we can replay huge chunks of the main game and events.
@@DanaOtken For me, it was more the fact that A. I'm left handed, B. I had platinum blonde hair as a kid and C. I'm the sort who focuses more on offense (Which makes me terrible as a Tank, lol)

Kudos to you man, I love seeing their differences and similarities. Lumine seems to be more of the offensive when the twins were together, but she's now seen always keeping a hand close to her chest on guard. Meanwhile Aether's weapon stance is usually defensive but the hand not holding the sword is never defensive

There're also other subtle differences, right now I can remember for example their voicelines, where Lumine says she likes Cryo slimes (something about them being useful in summer) and Aether prefers Pyro slimes (you'd need them in winter). Or the way they hold on Kaeya's hand in his hangout. Also I think there's a difference how they react during Childe's transformation in Fontaine's court ^^
Childe to Aether: Hey buddy.
Childe to Lumine: HEYYYY GWORLIEEEEE 💅✨ 🫶🏼

Aether best boy

As an Aether user, I still prefer him. I love Lumine sooo so much, but Aether fits to the traveler hero and his little girlie pop companion so much better. The way he's brave but careful, and do anything without hesitation fits better on a traveler. Also, Lumine is SUCH A GOOD EVIL PRINCESS LIKE DAMNN the way her eyes are so careless fits her better. AND her sword is more badass as a "villain". I always liked how Aether was a friend with everyone when they just met. He's so friendly and still serious. The way he's looking around and was always amused by the nature. I JUST LOVE HIM
it’ basically showing general differences between two genders, some aren’t necessarily “styles”, from the postures to range of movement, it actually depicts mechanical restrictions and implies differences in bone structure, weight distribution, even the factor of “balls” in the way they sit
there’s also the behaviors which goes into biopsych territory, Aether moves with heavier arms and interacts with the world more(basically his upper body moves more “free-er”), while Lumine moves more delicately and somewhat “defensive”, she’s often with lifted-hands in tense or anxious situations(instinctual stance to protect the chest which for girls is more vulnerable)
pretty good job with these little details
bone structure is bone structure bro
@@AstronomicalJelly yes, AND muscle/weight distribution. with the so called “manspread” it shows Aether having thinner hips(because he has balls which is also why males naturally tend to sit wide open), Lumine has wider hips and a thick-to-thin less-cylindrical legs.
I think most of lumine’s leg differences can be attributed to wearing a skirt and not wanting to flash anyone
it's a very typical female animation style (at least in anime) that girls put their knees together more and hence also run so damn awkwardly like they all have knock knees, and elbows close to body while arms are flared out >_> like how many actual females run like that?!
I agree with that, but i also think that there's a biological factor to consider too.
Female pelvises are structured in a way that allows for the legs to be more close together, compared to male pelvises whose structures make it so that the legs are more opened
Also there are a few differences, such as the Traveler reaching out for Dvalin’s tear, which is attributed to them using Aether’s model as a base. He’s a bigger person so his hand is under the tear while Lumine’s is not. This also happens in the Inazuma sword dueling event where Ayaka points to Aether’s heart when making her little speech but ends up pointing at Lumine’s throat.
in we will be reunited quest cutscene we will see our sibling using a void element to dain
Or Abyssal
Some things I notice at start of game, both Traveler is quite different by attitude and, traits maybe?
Aether seems to looking around more, shows that he's more observant on surrounding than Lumine, clearly he's the older sibling, as JP and KOR dub said
Lumine that seems hesitant to touch the statue also shows that she's, well, not used to be on her own, maybe, like she used to have Aether to make sure everything is safe, so now that she's on her own, she's having more time to adapt with her surrounding
Aether seems to have stronger arms, while Lumine have stronger legs. I think we all know about it now
Sitting position, napping position, and running position is just showing that they're male and female, I like that HYV keep it around in each scene, a little things to differentiate them
Now overtime, their difference is seems to dissipate one by one (except the fact they're male and female), but Xianyun's story quest kinda point us out again that Lumine is the younger sister. Because the fact that she's immediately break down and run into her brother (in dream ofc), kinda shows that she's missing him too much, whereas Aether is still trying to keep his cool (he break down eventually)
I'm a Lumine player myself, I really love her that I actually build my Lumine as strong as I can, and keep her around team (at least now in story or just for immersion, but she's basically ready and not benched). Seeing this video, I kinda like how the character development goes for her. From the usual backseater that used to have his brother to look everything for her, to completely her own, staying strong and also observant to everything while keep caring to everyone like a princess she should be
i interpret it as lumine being headstrong and focused, keeping her mind on the objective and ignoring all distractions, while aether is more defensive and cautious and observes his surroundings. it kinda shows in their battle stances, aether is slightly hunched and holding his sword straight down while lumine stands tall and holds it an an angle like she's prepared to attack. in a different cutscene aether is also shown holding his sword in a "block" pose while lumine is swinging it like she's attacking
i think that's why they work best together, aether is observant and watches for his surroundings while lumine is focused and keeps them on the right path
I do disagree that Aether is not the older brother (surprisingly). If you do listen to the story told by Venti, ‘Once there was a glorious kingdom established among the heavens…’ we see Lumine has the first crowned heir which means she’s older. And then it says she was deceived when trying to find a pearl from the kingdom of darkness and now believed that she is the queen of kingdom of darkness. Then in the cutscene right after, ‘But take heart, the second crowned heir had already taken up the path were the first had stumbled’ shows Aether which means he’s the younger twin and the actual protagonist. Also, in all the banners or posters and whatever for the story quest like Mondstadt and Liyue, it’s of Aether and Lumine (No hate to you. Just wanted you to know that fact. Have a great day!)
@@Arius6454 do think the younger terms come from the JP and KOR dub. After all, they're twins, it's up to everyone's take on twins
That's not the twins @@Arius6454
@@Arius6454 First of all, the battlepass almost certainly references someone else, not the twins. Otherwise there'd be two cutscenes, as is with all permanent in-game content.
Second, Lumine addresses Aether as older brother in Jp, Kn and Cn dubs, and Aether calls her "younger sister". English doesn't have a similarly common way of address to indicate who's older (saying "give my *older* brother back would sound very unnatural), so this is lost in translation
Basically what I can tell is much like the slight difference in their fighting stats, Aether is the shield and Lumine is the sword. They also have opposing dominant hands when they fight. They both look around a lot just Lumine does it with her eyes rather than her whole body which also tracks, physical movement would give away where she’s looking in fights and make it easier to predict her movements, Aether being a shield he basically needs to be shielding everywhere he looks. Aether gives off the impression that he just refuses to be overtly distrustful, he trusts in himself that he can manage whatever happens regardless of the outcome. Lumine on the other hand seems to overtly distrust when given a reason but will play along with whatever the situation may be. (In a Fontaine world quest it’s confirmed that lumine behaves this way idk about Aether I don’t play as him) She just seems generally less surprised by betrayals than Aether.
It's even more interesting that, while it's not explicitly pointed out in the video, you can clearly see the arms/legs difference, wherein Lumine, even when she's standing up from a crouch, be it slowly or into a sprint, she does so without using her arms for support, meanwhile Aether does, like at 6:04 (Aether pushes his arm on his knee for the burst of speed, Lumine just dashes with her legs) or 9:13 (Aether stands up by pushing the ground, Lumine just uses her legs)
What threw me of guard was the fact that in the "meeting Tartaglia" cutscene, Aether was hydro 😂

All videos like this really prove to me is that they didn't just copy/paste everything, as some people have said that they did... I like playing the game anyway, but it's nice to see that there are some differences (even if they still lead to the same outcome anyway...)...😁
They don’t copy and paste exactly. They make the movements for Lumine and insert her where Aether is. It’s why the model is sometimes off, like when reaching for Dvalin’s tear, since Aether is a bigger person than Lumine.
Lumine’s legs are always slightly closed together because she’s wearing a skirt and she doesn’t want to flash everyone
1:34 even amber's gloves color is different
The one with white gloves is her alternative outfit, which is only utilised in newer versions of the game, it doesn't matter whether your Traveler is Aether or Lumine.
👁️👄👁️
The small details showing Aether always pushing against his knee to get up while Lumine can just use her legs to get up are really cool!
I keep wandering when will Aether go to the hospital cause of breaking his hands 😭💀
5:11 I thought they were standing next to each other for a second and panicked for five seconds thinking "WHEN?"
0:44 The color of the Anemo thing is sloghtly different
I believe the left screen has bloom turned off
I remember starting genshin the 1st day it came out the opening scene was amazing to me and choosing aether but I never really played Lumine so I didn't really ever have to chance to notice the differences I never really switched servers
I love this kind of objective comparison. Cus people really need to stop taking down one of them just because they like the other more :(they both are cute in their own ways. And its really even sadder because they both love each other so much and having people being so competitive on trying to make one better than the other is really sucks
If you look at their charge atk,Lumine does more dmg, and by looking at the poses at 5:23, Lumine is more of a attacker while Aether is the defender
(Maybe you already covered that)
4:04 I felt that here antagonist Aether looked more remorseful than Antagonist Lumine..she always seemed a little cold
She seems more cold in the voice lines and even in some elemental abilities. When using the Geo ult, Aether has to slam the ground with his fist while Lumine just stomps (though this does prove that Lumine doesn’t skip leg day and Aether doesn’t skip arm day)
yeah I picked lumine and god aether seems so depressed as the abyss prince and I love it. It really feels like he's been fighting for 400 years seperated from his sibling. Seeing all the pain and suffering of the khaenri'ahn people. To me it recharaterized moments like the attempt to undue the curse. It went from "stupid doomed to fail and uncaring act" to "desperate last attempt to bring the people he loved so much"
I liked that in various aspects Lumine does things that a girl would do and Aether does things that boys would do hahahaha. I simply love these details
Ohhh maaan, I tear up every time I see them in Xiangyun's story quest.
Kind of glad I chose Aether. He seems more reactionary to the things going on around him compared to Lumine.
But, I’m glad to see the differences between the two characters. It shows their gameplay is slightly different, if only in appearance.
Women and men move differently in different circumstances. The art is wonderful and the drawers took his into consideration when they were creating the characters! Chops to HoYo!
What I love about gnsn is that they add subtle differences between the twins. At first i thought that Lumine and Aether wont have differences so they will be just like the same person but different genders type of MC.
But I slowly realized that they have subtle difference and it doesnt only happen like thrice. And it makes me appreciate both MCs as their own character instead.
And I can tell that hoyo has always intended Aether as the canonical MC protagonist and Lumine the canonical Antagonist. And I cant help but cry at the 4.7 dain quest, I can feel how much Aether misses Lumine and I know Lumine misses him as much. It's so depressing yet heartwarming.
AND LETS NOT FORGET THE DREAM SCENE IN XIANYUN'S QUEST...I BAWLED SO HARD...and Nahida's bday scene punched my face hard with that dream scene too....
When greeting Traveler after our meet with Davin, during when the Traveler started gliding, Amber’s gloves were different colors with Aether vs Lumine. With Aether they were white, with Lumine they were brown
Sorry I meant Dvalin
One had the original outfit, while the other had the altered outfit. China had issue with some character outfits and were forced to chance them going forward.
Lumine is so cute. I am happy that i picked her ^^
1:25 Aether looks-
of course they're sitting differently, maboi Aether has some balls to give space to... 🤣
And this proves the reason i love both Lumine and Aether and i am a proud Aether main
at the beginning of the game i thought dainsleif was going to be my brother- 😭
Aether is easily disracted, Lumine is focused on the important.
Aether’s paying attention to his surroundings, Lumine is focused on one thing. It also reflects in their combat style. Lumine’s attacks are faster but Aether’s is broader. She’s more offensive, he’s more defensive.
The fact that I won’t be able to experience “hey girly hold still” from childe makes me regret choosing Aether every day
1:59 Abyss Aether lifts his chin up to look down on the abyss mage. It looks like he’s intentionally trying to show his power, like making people believe he’s above them. Abyss Lumine doesn’t need to *pretend* to display her power, even with an even gaze it’s clear that she’s more powerful.
Also, in general, it seems Lumine is more focused on her goal where Aether is more like “hmm…but what’s *this?”*
None of the top portion makes sense. Why would he need to pretend when nothing is confirmed that she’s the more powerful sibling and even then, why would he need to pretend in front of an abyss mage? Honestly, he even lifts a heavy piece of rock off him with one hand whereas she struggles with two… it’s simply for aesthetics and differentiating attitude between the two to make them feel separate.
@@Artryompeople are allowed to have fun and interpret things lmao
@@AstronomicalJelly And People are allowed to criticize their “interpretation” too so your point belongs in the same place as this interpretation you’re defending, very fitting. Hit me with something that makes sense?
That's why I think aether is the main canon character, although it seems like he's searching for his sister, he's mostly just chilling throughout the story and doing all side quest. While lumine is too serious imo and wouldnt care to help ppl unless it's benefits her.
@@Artryom I’m talking about when both of them are displayed as the Abyss Sibling. Because both twins can be the abyss sibling. Watch back at the timestamp I marked.

The "Hey Girlie, hold still" always cuaght me off guard even now, and istg I keep laughing when I hear it
0:49 how come aether's chest changed color to anemo but lumine not?
Probably a glitch or mistake because in the later scene where they're walking through the woods we see her chest glow anemo tok
I guess it’s not that noticeable bc that chest piece is smaller on Lumine, it has more gold and her outfit is almost white and Anemo color is light too.
I think in certain positions, like 0:23 and 1:26, Aether has his legs in a position where it's a bit too revealing for Lumine to be in since he has pants, and she has a dress
So basically Lumine is a "wow" girl and Aether here is a "holy shit" guy
They also have quite a few differences in the hangout endings.
I like how both have there own fighting style and animations

Aether is the defender of the team, he uses defensive stances while fightting and always scouts his surroundings.
Lumine is the attacker of the team, she uses an attacking stance and lokks straight forward towards the objective.
As a result lumine can be seen more insecure in certain scenarios because she doesn't have her defender along side her, while aether appears more brave because he dosn't have anyone to protect anymore and can just focus on fighting
It's nice that the animations aren't copy-paste.
Honestly the little differences add so much life :) like it shows the effort they put it to make the siblings more distinct
4:52 the faces 😭
Aether is gay lumine is straight
esto deja muy en claro la teoría de que sus estilos de lucha se complementan. mientras Lumine mantiene su vista fija en su enemigo (ofensa), Aether se centra en los alrededores haciendo control de daños defendiendo a su hermana y cubriendo sus puntos debiles (defensa)
The way Lumine looks straight and Aether looks around makes me imagine them together entering the room like
Lumine enters first, ready to enter the battle. Aether looks around to see if there's any danger. Referencing to their strength with Lumine having the high attack dmg and Aether covering her blind spots.
If yyou look closely at 5:57 aether is also using both hands but in a different position unless he has 8 fingers on one hand by just a smale detail to look out for
My father told me you should never underestimate the strength of a girl's kick, as a girl during his martial arts class, who was a foot shorter than my dad, broke his hand in one kick.
There is certainly a difference between them because they are male and female. To be clear, Aether wouldn't have sat like Lumine in the first quest because it is a feminine movement and Lumine cannot do the same thing I hope you understood this simplified explanation💀💀💀 they are so cuties...
Yeah. I wouldn't categorise any way of sittimg as feminine or masculine because i don't believe in those, but CLEARLY Lumime is sitting with her legs closer together because she's wearing a dress.
And aether legs apart because private parts of I assume male @@venus4724
yeah it's just simply masculine and feminine things. in the end it depends on each of our preferences.
If they didn’t have those, there wouldn’t be any point in choosing which aside from looks but even then they look very similar. Glad they didn’t decide to make it stale. Need more differences between the two in video games where you choose the gender and such.
Lumine is so precious! I am Aether your brother will find you out!
I do appreciate how they made the twins different, like they're siblings and not just copies of each other
if you didn't know: lumine and aether cover each others blind spots when fighting together
I love how they’re actually they’re own character, not just the same character genderbent and with a different outfit. Also, it solidifies that I did, in fact, choose the right twin for myself, Aether is definitely way more me💀🙏
i loved that xianyun let them sleep cause even though they were crying it was a happy moment.
dialogue at the start is different too
Aether looks so dashing when he's a villain
For Aether the abyss power looks more obscure 🤔
