Based on the ambient art effects (blue silhouette around Diona & Bediou, orange silhouette around Xinyan & Razor), we can presume that the first image represents the Childe event banner, and the second image represents the Zhongli event banner. So it will be:

Childe Event Banner

• Childe 5*
  
• Ningguang 4*
  
• Beidou 4*
  
• Diona 4*

Zhongli Event Banner

• Zhongli 5*
  
• Razor 4*
  
• Chongyun 4*
  
• Xinyan 4*

Approximately one hour ago, they posted on their facebook page a price increase for the following countries: Indonesia, India, South Africa, Iceland, Russia, Colombia and Brazil. Their stated reason for the price hike is "due to policy changes on App stores", which as far as I understand, was a change exclusively on the Apple Store, but they increased the price on all stores.

Basically, items got around around 70-80% increase (R$17 to R27 here in brazil for the blessing, R$389,99 to R$549,99 for the largest bundle).

Needless to say, this is a huge hit to our already sad, poor wallets. Some people believe the increase happened because of international users buying from our stores (which are...well, was cheaper, when converted to dollar), which is frankly, bullshit. Every other store managed to solve this issue with VPN blocking or banning, gift blocks and other such measures, and it worked fine for them. Even in cases where companies decided to go with price increase, they at least offer a grace period to allow purchases at the lower prices, or announce the increase a few days before it goes live.

Heck, I personally was going to buy the last two bundles without the first purchase bonus and was just waiting for the 8th...well, that ain't happening anymore Mihoyo. I'm sure I'm not the only sale you lost, and all you had to do is provide some warning for this. Honestly, the lack of warning is what soured me on this the most.

I'm not even going to explain why companies all around have been doing region based pricing for several years already, taking into account each country's purchasing power, I'm sure Mihoyo already understands this, they just don't care.

EDIT: Article talking about the policy changes on the Apple store. Not only are those changes much lower than this price hike, it's also ONLY for Apple Store. Just lock apple store accounts from purchasing elsewhere if that's the problem: https://appleinsider.com/articles/20...ia-russia-more

NEW EDIT: For the people saying it's the community's fault for using VPN to abuse the lower prices, you're a funny bunch, I won't lie. Everyone else but Mihoyo apparently already figured out how to block such sales. I'm sure they can expend 0.001% of the $250 million profit to address this issue.

Also, I feel like this has to be said again, my (and I'm sure many others)'s biggest issue with this is the TOTAL LACK OF WARNING. We slept one day at X prices, and woke at X+a shitloadmore prices. This is also something that's not the norm on this industry. Apple itself issued an warning, why couldn't Mihoyo go ahead and say "hey ppl heads up shit's getting more expensive next week BUY BUY BUY". Fxck, I'm sure that would lead to more sales for them too.

Also worth mentioning that FFXIV pulled a similar move last year, and thanks to community outcry they delayed the price hike for a month, giving people time to either purchase what they wanted to at the lower prices or decide to stop playing. Companies do listen if we make enough noise.

Another Edit: Apple doesn't enforce price parity with other platforms. Or, if they do, Blizzard apparently gets away with it. Here's screenshots, courtesy of /u/Shiraume, comparing PC and apple store prices for Hearthstone : https://i.imgur.com/BqWgVEw.png and https://i.imgur.com/1pfzVe4.png . Also, feel free to google for yourself if there's any such rule in place. I couldn't find, still searching. Here's apple's guidelines: https://developer.apple.com/app-stor...ines/#business

So, as a lot of you guys may already know, the prices of everything on Genshin Impact has increased today without warning on many countryes. Here in Brazil, it goes up to 80% on raise, that's just nonsense.

​

But, that's due to the fact that App Store announced this change on prices today:

​

<Old value vs new value>

It is based on the dolar raise, but it doesn't even make any sense, Mihoyo is a Chinese company, and as so, receive the money on Remimbi, which didn't have a big grow on recent times, as you guys can see here:

​

On this graphic we can see the variation in one month (more or less the time the game has been around).

So, all this hassle is due to App Store being too north america centered, when you create an app, you put the amount of money you wanna require for the itens based on dollar, so, the adaptation from dollar to real (brazilian money) is made automaticaly, what is just bs, there's no reason to use the dolar as a reference since Mihoyo receives the money on Remimbi....

I got really sad about it since the blessing and the battle pass you got too expensive for me to afford, but it's not Mihoyo fault. Putting different prices on other plataforms would cause the App Store to eventually remove the game from their shop, so, the only sollution left for Mihoyo would be a direct confrontation with Apple, what I don't think they will do.
