Amphoreus and Teyvat have way to many similarities and it’s making me scared for Genshin’s ending. Consider the following:
!Spoilers for the entirety of Amphoreus and Genshin!
The Grove with all its similarities to Sumeru/the Akademiya (a divine tree as the base, God of Wisdom/known for her wisdom, ruled by sages…etc. Hell, they even have their own frail/feeble scholar)
A mysterious power that’s corrupting/devouring the world (black tide & the abyss)
Curiously, the abyss has been referred to as a ‘black tide’
Completely internal system of gods/divinity with no outside connection
Said divine are in that position bc they have an object of power (gnosis/coreflames)
There are a group of people going after/collecting the objects of divine power and many of them are dead (the Fatui going after the gnosis is a twisted version of the flame chase is a crack? theory I have to explore later) (link to post with a bit more on the theory)
People who are randomly selected (Chrysos heirs & allogenes) that have the chance to ascend to divinity
The Teyvat time loop theory + Amphoreus cycles
Ley lines (bc yes, Amphoreus does have ley lines; Castorice once mentions them)
The amount of references to data, particularly in Genshin when talking about Irminsul (Irminsul data, Nahida’s normal attacks & skill, etc)
Zandik and Zandar and all their similarities
An unhinged alchemist who ends up fusing with a god and now said god has lost most of her power but can still annoy said alchemist
This is all I can think about off the top of my head at the moment, but I’ll probably add more in the future
two purple goddesses who were sisters but one gave up her life so the other could ascend to godhood and after asending brought her sister back but is now dead
