Although several fans were excited to roll on Tighnari’s banner, once developers announced he will be added to Standard Banner in the 3.1 update, many users decided to skip the banner. However, many creators are still rolling for him, as he’s the first five-star Dendro character to arrive after almost two years of release.

Surprisingly, players are having disputes on Tighnari within only a few days of his release. One Reddit user recently posted their opinion about the creator’s mispronouncing Tighnari. Furthermore, they even stated that some creators are not even concerned with the proper pronunciation and are only focusing on content.

According to the user, “I think this overall behavior is extremely counterproductive. For anyone who’s bothered by people who can’t perfectly pronounce Tighnari, I honestly challenge you to pronounce Xingqiu or Zhongli or Keqing properly, because I bet you can’t. The EN VAs can’t, and we just decided to not care. How is that any different?”

Although the Reddit user’s opinion is completely valid, we have to understand that Genshin Impact has a vast fanbase. Therefore, it becomes hard for players to correctly pronounce the Chinese character’s name. Regardless, other fans also left their opinion in the comment section.

One comment read, “I really thought this ship sailed a long time ago when we all collectively agreed to butcher Tartaglia, but, to each their own I guess.” Whereas, another comment read, ” I’m completely out of the loop on this… is Tighnari’s name pronunciation some sort of big deal online?”
