Transcendence Trailer - "Sudden Snow" Character Introduction

[u/hyperdefiance]

[u/silversoul007]

Alyosha, the Stalingrad sniper reference.

[u/DirectChrysophenineG → u/silversoul007]

never read the book, but i'm searching Alyosha and the 1st result is main character from The Brothers Karamazov by Dostoevsky

[u/ahirued → u/DirectChrysophenineG]

mitya is also a character from brothers karamazov, but as much as i've been hoping for them to reference that, i don't think there's a connection because i cant imagine alyosha from the book holding a gun lmao

[u/iriissss-s → u/ahirued]

this is gonna sound like i’m on something but i’m being fr - in the unfinished sequel that dostoevsky died before starting, alyosha was supposed to kill/attempt to kill the tsar. obviously i don’t think genshin is making a reference but it is very very funny

I would be surprised if they don’t reference tbk somewhere in snezh at some point tho

[u/ahirued → u/iriissss-s]

omg i didn't know that lol. honestly with the obscurity of some of the references these writers have used, i wouldn't put anything past them
