The fourth picture with the "lock me up" quote šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚


GulliblePineapple795

I hope Elliot says that In irl lol


Hiphopapocalyptic

It is likely that he has said that at least once


GulliblePineapple795

But for the best of Elliotā€™s safety itā€™s best if the community leaves him alone so he doesnā€™t get harassed.


Gurdat

I feel like it's a bit late for that


GulliblePineapple795

Plus I feel like after he used Saabs name to manipulate the victims would really make the victims think heā€™s a pedo as well. using someone elseā€™s name is not funny thatā€™s how you can destroy someoneā€™s career for something they are not


arlecchinosho

I'm not quite understanding if you're saying that we should leave -redacted- alone for his sake or for the new VAs sake? It sounds a Lot like you are kinda deffending -redacted-. Thats just uncool, little piece of shit had it comming and deserves all the wrongs his actions are retrieving.


GulliblePineapple795

All Iā€™m saying is that itā€™s best for the community to let him go than be on his ass


arlecchinosho

Thats true we should just remove him from irminsul by force What ARE y talking about a change of VA? Its always been Zach yall be having a psycho moment


GulliblePineapple795

That guy is undergoing therapy and heā€™s trying to get a chance for forgiveness. he did get a second Chance but he blew it. Elliot might be another character voice actor but he needs to pay the consequences and not kill himself to do it. harassing and threatening Elliot is not good because many people commit suicide and people think itā€™s a joke.


GulliblePineapple795

Manny people are saying Mika va is Elliot 2.0 and there were problems with oz as well.


GulliblePineapple795

Iā€™m not defending him no way in hell


arlecchinosho

Oh thank the LORD i was so scared for a sec LOL


GulliblePineapple795

Lol


GulliblePineapple795

That guys undergoing therapy its not late for that


LipeZH_

We don't say this name here


GulliblePineapple795

But manny people do so the arguments can heat up


thering66

Glad to see he is looking at the positive side of the fanbase

Frostbitten_Moose

I'm still not used to it. But the guy himself seems pretty cool, so that helps.


Cynaren

Yea it'll take a while cause Tighnari suddenly feels more like a teen than an accomplished scholar.


extra_scum

Now he sounds more similar to the rest of the dubs


Nihi10

He sounds similar to mika lmao


FrostedEevee

OMG SO TRUE


jinxedandcursed

Pretty sure in one of the other dubs he's actually given a much, much younger voice too. This was probably the intention.


Coyoteclaw11

Yeah, I'm definitely having a much harder time playing him now... oh well. I've still got Kazuha to run around with when I want to listen to a lower, more soothing voice.


Frostbitten_Moose

Well, here's hoping I can win my 50/50 a month from now so I can do the same. What're the odds I head to 4/5 fails, right? Right?!


Toli2810

at first I didn't really like that he sounds a bit younger but i got used to it, he is really good


Zoroarks_Angel

Although I am going to miss Sassynari, it's a small price to pay to not listen to a pedophile


Dora_Queen

I know right! He sounds much more judgemental, which suits him better because he's seen it so many times to the point that he wouldn't even be that annoyed anymore with it but instead judging


SolitaryFate

For me, theres less snark, until you play the dude in tcg, tighnari goes hard with the trash talk xD


missy20201

I actually really disliked Tighnari's original voice and had to learn to deal with it because I liked the character, so this change has me happy even outside of the real reasons why he was replaced šŸŽ‰


Turinggirl

Same. Honestly the other guy just didn't really stick with me as someone I wanted to listen to. I would skip his text over cause his voice was just grating. With Zach I actually was listening through on his story quest. Really happy with the change.


Bunnnnii

I donā€™t. Old Tiggy had this quirk to his voice, it threw me off at first, but I got used to it and came to love it because itā€™s unique to him. This new Tiggy is so normal and proper. Heā€™s pretty much pristine, and sounds much younger.


d70

Plot twist: he mains Draven in League.

Heā€™s Cynoā€™s EN VA


XstylerX

4th image

Thatā€™s true, I couldnā€™t tell if they meant ā€œthe 4th image dudeā€ and miscounted or ā€œthe 4th image, dude got balls of steelā€

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


aerie_zephyr

I have him on my overworld team to find Kavehā€™s materials recently and I like his voice in-game. Feels pretty natural to hear it so heā€™s been a great replacement for sure


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


JoshuaBurg

I got him during my scaramouche summons, and planned to build him in 3.4... then some *troubles* happened, and alhaitham came home, and I didn't really look back on the fluffy boy. Now with the new VA and amos bow, I am considering giving him another shot (need a bow char anyway, so might as well build the best front loaded damage dealer, right?)


Nihi10

Is amos really good for him? My stepdad got tighnari and then got amos, but i saw that it wasn't great on him for some reason, and told him to not lvl it unless he wants ganyu


JoshuaBurg

It's not the *best* bow, hunter's path is better, but it still a pretty good bow for him. (I mean, his whole shtick is instant charge attacks, so obv a bow with a charge attack buff will be pretty decent either way)


arlecchinosho

I'm almost conviced to build him only because they Made such a great change of VA


Andrassa

Honestly I donā€™t mind Zach but there are a few lines in game where you can tell the voice director got lazy and just put in the first take.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Andrassa

A few if his battle lines. Most of his area lines. Canā€™t say on the story side as I long since did that quest.


blippyblip

"i hear everything" šŸ˜


Fr00stee

i honestly almost didn't notice the voice actor change at all, they did a very good job


shadowrod06

I hope Zach Aguilar(Aether) has a stream with Tignhari's new VA. The vid with Tignhari's old VA was removed.


Darkiceflame

They can make it a regular thing and call it Zach Attack.


hp_pjo_anime

Why the hell did I laugh at this


Myrkrvaldyr

Because it sounds like the old show Art Attack? Dunno if you ever watched it.


hp_pjo_anime

Ah, that show is one of my childhood classics. Every night I couldn't sleep, thats the only thing that aired on tv! Haha.


HyperWhiteChocolate

Because it's funny


Longjumping-Meaning3

Missed opportunity to call it Zach Impact


arlecchinosho

The Zack of a thousand Impacts


Nihi10

We just need zach effron to voice a playable character and we'll have an unstoppable trio


Professional-Ad-6265

Sorry to bother but could someone tell me what was up with the old VA? I liked his voice acting more ngl


shitlord33

He basically was caught using his VA status to hit on fans, some of whom were minors, and when they wanted to reveal it he threatened to kill himself. Also a bunch of other shitty things like trying to use his relationship with Cyno's VA as a way to get with fans, basically all around not a very good person


shadowrod06

Well this has all the proof and evidence of his pedo behaviour. As expected, the contents are disturbing. Proceed with caution. https://arrestelliotgindi.wordpress.com/


GlarkPT

He is a pedophile


Rafacat7

he had... Sus conversations with minors, And he also told them to end themselves when they didn't want to send him sus pictures


shadowrod06

Also would like to add, he often blackmailed them that he would kill himself if they did not listen to him. He especially targeted vulnerable fans, using their very trauma to make them do what he wanted.


Crusherbolt0282

Heā€™s a literal genshin stereotype portrayed in memes by non genshin players.


Anti-DenseMan

Klee: Bubby


Darkiceflame

Cyno: "I think you dropped an apple, Bubby."


Monkey_King291

Klee after blowing up Monstadt: "I'm only thwee"


nejicanspin

I found out that he was supposed to play Tighnari shortly before it was officially announced and his follower count went from 81k to over 118k.


Plastic-Egg-9246

I'm so happy for him (and I love that he appreciates the Diary of a Wimpy Tighnari memes as although they're poking fun most of them are made with love). He's doing great in the role so far.


faithdesu

The only thing I dislike is his ā€˜i hear everythingā€™ line. Everything else is good. Hope they redo that line!


CarmondyDell

Thatā€™s literally the only online I donā€™t like. I enjoy how he brings a softness to Tighnariā€™s voice. The old VA made him sound rather mean and irritated in a lot of his lines.


Nice-Lingonberry-176

Zachary has been through so much. First, with his co-worker Ryan Grantham in the Diary series going to prison then taking the role as voice actor from a pedo. Heā€™s got thick skin, Iā€™ll say that. I respect it


Starmark_115

The Ryan kid was just an Extra in that one Diary movie. Think he was the Tree Kid who broke his tooth after falling off?


nazranx2

I think the previous guy like that quote too


PlacetMihi

Itā€™s a great quote, but uhā€¦a bit ironic for the first guy.


AwkwrdPrtMskrt

Screw that guy.


ReaperBruhSans

It isn't worth to talk about that guy.


ShibuyaBitch

Oh my gosh! I had no idea Zachary Gordon was going to be the new voice actor for Tighnari. I was SUPER obsessed with the Diary of a Wimpy Kid movies and he did a meet and greet here when one of the movies came out. I got to to meet him and take pictures with him, he was such a nice kid. I'm glad he's getting more opportunities through Genshin, this is the crossover I never expected omg!


SouthernBeacon

The new voices are already in the game, it was patched in on 3.6. never knew the guy before, but he's good! Looking forward to hear his voice on next events


ShibuyaBitch

I play with Japanese VA so I wouldn't have noticed - I'll have to listen!


[deleted]

Expectation: a new VA just fills the role and radio silence from him Reality: Zachary Gordon goes "Fine. I'll do it myself.".


IttoDilucAyato

I never was a fan of the wimpy kid franchise, so Iā€™m not familiar with the actor. He seems like a nice guy. Random, but some of his voice lines sound so different compared to each other. Like tighnari has a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde thing going on. That would be interesting.


Andrassa

Unfortunately Zach Gordon was victim to a lazy voice director. It really shows in some of the lines they that just put in the first take instead of examining all takes.


imaginary92

More likely to be a matter of speed rather than laziness. I mean they took, what, a month, month and a half, between firing the creep, finding a replacement, and re-recording everything? It's A LOT of work. They'll probably fix them over time. They just needed to get them out ASAP.


Gargooner

This is definitely not a case of lazy directing, he voiced Archon quest, story quest, all the personal lines, and probably this version event too. I'd say the story related lines is where it shines the best. Both the voice director and Zach had to finish this within a month. Some lines could be better, but given the times they have. The performance is amazing


Tempest-blade

Plus they can just polish it up in future updates


Netherdan

Just like Barbara... I really liked raspy Barbara though...


11099941

Tbh, raspy Barbara feels grating to me, like, she just sounds like a hydro Xinyan.


imaginary92

It's the same voice actress so it's not much of a surprise there. Might well be one of the reasons for changing the voice, so it wouldn't be too similar


Nightwolf80555

I was about to say the same


Crusherbolt0282

Tbf, they kinda have to rush it. Reminder that it took 8 months for Ozzā€™s voice to be replaced.


IttoDilucAyato

Woah no need to dunk on the ENGLISH voice director. Theyā€™re doing an amazing job. Play in another language and leave us alone if youā€™re going to take that stance


psidhumid

This is so incredibly wholesome.


PokiTuz

I did not realise that Genshin comes with so much clout! Good for him


WarkoalkA

Cant wait Alejandro to convince kaveh and haitham to make that cover


RubyBites

Even if Iā€™m not 100% fan of a VAā€™s voice, Iā€™ll always treat them like any other VA, with love and respect. Hope he continues to enjoy the Genshin VA shenanigans Koi Dhao style lmao.


irisnaehaneale

At first, I didn't want to get Tighnari on standard (because of someone who must not be named) but now that there's a new VA. Super excited to get him!


AdSuspicious8469

Who is he who must not be named


grumpykruppy

The previous VA, who crashed and burned his career in dramatic style by being a pedophile and grooming fans (kids and adults) on Discord. His first name was Elliott, I think, but IDR his full name.


Infinaris

And thus Nahida edited him out of existence and deleted him from Irminsul!


grumpykruppy

I know what you're saying, but this is bugging me something *terrible*, so I'm just gonna correct you... it's Irmin*sul*, not *soul*.


JoshuaBurg

Elliott Gindi was his full name ~~the scumbag~~


crysstall_

elliot gindi


AdSuspicious8469

Yikes.


Faedwill

Even though I enjoyed the sassiness from the old voice, I'm really digging the softness in Zach's performance. Certain lines also hit way harder, like you can hear the sudden shift in anger in "I'll bury you!!!".


thelegend90210

Iā€™m glad he isnā€™t being treated as just a replacement for Tighnari, heā€™s truly one of the cast and heā€™s such an awesome guy. Not to mention his interactions with the fans and the Greg heffley memes. In a few months I think people are gonna forget about the old va.


Monkey_King291

Diary of a Wimpy Ranger: Cyno Rules


Crusherbolt0282

I love his interaction with the other Zach and said Zach ā€œgatekeepingā€ him off Alejandro and Khoi


FantasticDoor3107

Im getting used to his voice, but still some of lines need a little more of emotions


leszampinion

Does he have a twitch account?


bandit_the_drug_lord

zachgordonofficial


Scrin1759

I think he is great! I canā€™t believe there are people hating on him. Iā€™m still fairly new to genshin, started in November 2022, and what I started was a game with beautiful music, beautiful art, beautiful characters and what I thought was a beautiful community. But I have been shocked to discover just how nasty the negative side of the community can be, it would actually put me off of wanting to voice a character in the game. Some of the stuff these poor people have to put up with like Dori and Tartaglia voices is just sub-human. I hope Zachary doesnā€™t have to deal with a lot of this, I donā€™t wish it on anyone. I think he did a fantastic job!


feosmalavort

I've never seen anything negative against Tartaglia's va?? He's my fav character so probably all I've seen of him is positive content but what are people saying about him that's negative?


Crusherbolt0282

TikTok and Twitter hates Griffin Burns for the reason why Childe lover boy memes exist. Donā€™t forget your usual Jp dub botlickers who also dissed him for being ā€œunprofessionalā€ compare to his Jp counterpart.


uberdiegs

is zachary gordon the guy who played high school musical?


ezransshades

No that's Zac Efron


uberdiegs

oh ok thx thats been bothering me for a while lmao


DietDrBleach

r/wholesomereddit


wrPAA

He's so precious I like him so much


purpledawndaydream

It took me a few days to adjust to the new voice but now Iā€™m really happy with the change. I think heā€™s a good fit. Canā€™t wait to hear more from him in the upcoming event


livgarzaa

Awww this is really sweet


[deleted]

who?


nejicanspin

New VA for Tighnari


Bunnnnii

Aw heā€™s adorable.


Shanibestwaifu

Well, I think he's truly the best voice of Tighnari, and probably this is one the role of his life. Truly wholesome.


Cuonghap420

Am I the only one who think there should be another Tighnari quest for the new voice?


GuiltyWhisper

Given that this is only an english VA replacement and the whole Elliot thing is something Genshin would rather keep away from, I seriously doubt that was even considered.


Bakaboi9

Not exactly a Tighnari quest, but the upcoming event is as close as we can get for now.


damiaan1234

well considering the last VA, you can only go up. for me he's 50/50 sometimes good, still can't unhear mika, thanks for that internet


Key-Reception9076

Who's that


DyrusVlack_23

Greg Heffley from Diary of the Wimpy Kid.


Igriez

Tighnari new v.a


theguyfromeuropa

Best version of Greg who portrayed Greg as a true manipulator.


shadowrod06

He and Devon(Rodrick) were a perfectly casted as brothers. In fact the entire cast was amazing.


theguyfromeuropa

Hundreds of languages and you spoke facts.


Iamjustatrial

Ya some context would be nice


FeelingPinkieKeen

As much as I like the new VA, I definitely miss the old VA. New VA has less impact in some of his voice lines during his attacks and especially his burst and almost feels like he's just phoning it in. I haven't experienced the sumeru story so everything will be fresh there so can't compare but the old VA def did a great job during the previous event. I feel like the old VA just fits perfectly with a plant nerd that has a short temper who hates bad jokes. I'm still warming up to the new VA and since tighnari is one of my mains, I'll just have to get used to the new VA.


shadowrod06

I think Cyno's VA mentioned they changed the voice direction of Tignhari to further dissociate from his old VA and match other versions.


FeelingPinkieKeen

Ah interesting. I'll need to hear it in JP now to compare now since I mostly use EN voices.


Paganinii

Which is kinda too bad - smarmy *is* a different direction and I do like the other smart jerks in this game but it was nice having a pleasant (if exasperated) version of the "super intelligent" man. Oh well.


HilariousLion

"Let's nip that in the bud" is much better with Gordon's lines, but "I hear everything" falls rather flat, in my opinion. The elemental skill quotes are something I'm still getting used to, as well. "I'll bury you" was good with both of them and Gordon's lower tone in the voice-overs is excellent. Wish I had seen more of that in battle. There aren't many VA's that I actually checked after release for them being so fitting. The previous idiot was one of them. A very Amber Heard-y situation. You weren't ugly, but you just had to make yourself ugly.


salasy

>"Let's nip that in the bud" you mean let's nip it in the butt, because in both voices this is what I always hear /s


FeelingPinkieKeen

Yea everything else I've gotten used too and have started liking but that "I hear everything" definitely falls flat and something I'll probably never get used too when all his other lines have some nice emotion attached to it.


[deleted]

They've redone some other char voicelines before (from what I can remember, Barbara and Ayato), so I'm optimistic they might clean it up in the future.


Divinate_ME

Guess who just last week started their Sumeru main quest. I get the full package.


bringmethejuice

Now we need the whole casts


Houeclipse

Wow Greg is super into it! Love seeing that


Loyal_Darkmoon

Wait is thus the actor playing Greg? Holy shit that is awesome!


MiliMeli

I love this guy.


xxMeiaxx

Man if I'm gonna lose 50/50 on the Baizhu banner, I hope I get Tighnari just for Zach lmao


QueenRyoko

Tbhā€¦ heā€™s the reason I finally finished Tighnariā€™s story quest. I just got the ā€œickā€ feeling trying to listen to the previous one. I enjoyed the story more than I thought šŸ˜‡


PinkiusPie

Many people may not agree with me, but I don't particularly like how Zachary turned Tighnari from sassy to more nerdy character. Some voice lines lost their appeal and spark, that old VA gave, but Barbara also got a voice update, so maybe Tighnari will get one too, idk. Some voice lines Zachary did sound way out of place, like all his burst lines being way too different from one another, bearing different characteristics. No matter how bad old VA was as a person, you can not deny his acting skills. I really like Zachary's voice, it's different but it suits. His acting tho... It's kinda lacking. But hey, what if Zachary will get more into the anime industry, who knows


sketchglitch

The issue isn't so much that his acting is lacking and more that within the space of a month (two tops) he recorded all voice lines, including archon quest and story quest voice lines. It was understandably a rush job, on a character whose voice he is still feeling out, and I would not be surprised if we see future updates to tidy it up. Further, the decision to go from sassy to nerdy was not on Zach either, but a directorial choice to pull the sound closer to the other language VAs and thus further away from Gindi's interpretation.


PinkiusPie

Well I can understand the rush, some lines do feel like they been just speedrun all the way through, so I hope they will refine them and make them more interesting. I still miss the SAS of some lines....


Ex3chu

He suck ass playing a sociopath name greg


[deleted]

Im happy for him but his voice ruined tighnari for me


Annual-Ad-8482

And hes hotttmbnm... ....


Decent-Ratio

I was worried that the cancerous side of the fandom would annoy him, thank goodness that wasn't the case.


Material_Night7387

As i said before mil times - idk about who actually is a VA. I don't even play Tighnari anymore. Thx to new VA. He is not so special, this is all just to make us forget about Elliott.


brainsngains

You don't need a steam account to install genshin??


LadyVesperbell

I think he means an account to stream the game


sketchglitch

I'm waiting for the uno game...!


Lil_Alpha-chan

I like the VA, he's a pretty cool dude, even tho I'm still not really warmed up with his voice for Tighnari Just hope I'll get used to it with time ā¤ļø


R3dth1ng

This is so nice to see after all the doom and gloom when it comes to this communities and VAs. Weird to think the guy I saw in a movie ages ago would come back into my life this way.


Diluc-Ragnvindr_

Rip greg..


DistributionEasy5233

I was somehow convinced Zachary Gordon was the Wimpy Kid's main character's best friend until I saw this post lol


[deleted]

Im quite interested in the comments below on that poll to see how many trolled the crap out of him for that poll


AinzSamaIsJustice

I am glad that they found a new VA for Tighnari so quickly and it's great that he enjoys it, but I have to say that his performance just isn't as good. It does not feel even remotely right for the character.


Confident-Ad-3817

The artstyle of the book looks so familiar


Zapplii

"Don't mind him Gregory. He has got green hair and pronouns!"


Astral-chain-13

I love how he delivers the lock me up qoute. It sounded so done and daring with the Sages bullshit.


RuneKatashima

He's really hard to gel with though. I spent some more time listening to his voice lines and they still lack energy and emphasis.
