Because the Improved Crocomorph Vortex-Based Crocodilian-armored Heavy Naval Battleship-style Recreational Water Blasting Cannon is an improved version of the original one, which is called the Crocomorph Vortex-Based Crocodilian-armored Heavy Naval Battleship-style Recreational Water Blasting Cannon.


TwistedBlade1234

But in that case doesn't it make more sense to call the Improved Crocomorph Vortex-Based Crocodilian-armored Heavy Naval Battleship-style Recreational Water Blasting Cannon the Crocomorph Vortex-Based Crocodilian-armored Heavy Naval Battleship-style Recreational Water Blasting Cannon Mk2 instead of calling it the Improved Crocomorph Vortex-Based Crocodilian-armored Heavy Naval Battleship-style Recreational Water Blasting Cannon?


h2odragon00

Thats the 3rd iteration.


SeaweedFast6382

neo armstrong cyclone jet armstrong cannon was taken already


icantseeshithelp

I'm sure its a reference to the "Neo Armstrong Cyclone Jet Armstrong Cannon"


Zeroinfinius08

Where have I heard that? Gintama?


Useful-Description90

Yep


iceandtea127

It's to make fun of real-life engineers being terrible at naming their products.


UDontKnowMeButIHateU

Everyone seems to be joking, but I want to give the real answer. There was a mini game in last year's Genshin summer event where it was called exactly that.


DrusianaEos

Because whoever created it is a former isekai writer. Gotta live up to those names 


mr_beanoz

Because Chatillon who made the original Crocomorph Vortex-Based Crocodilian-armored Heavy Naval Battleship-style Recreational Water Blasting Cannon has a naming sense like Naruto's dad


Leo40Reddit

for once, Sucrose is better at naming things


disturbinglyquietguy

a gintama reference maybe?


HayakuEon

100%


LightningLord2137

Because it's Fontaine, they always use "pseudo-science gibberish" when naming things


survivorr123_

i wonder what it would be called in german


bonkai-

Verbesserte Krokomorphe Vortexbasierte Krokodilgepanzerte Schwere Marinekreuzerentlehnte Freizeitwasserdruckkanone I guess (though if the heavy refers to the battleship and not the cannon itself, we'll have to reorder like half the words)


HaukevonArding

In German it's (from the German Version of Genshin): "verbesserte schwere maritime krokodilförmige wirbelaggregationsprinzipielle Vergnügungswasserkanone"


Juliancito135

Fischl von Luftchloss Narfidort Prinzessin der Verirteilung Immernachreich Apokalypse: Finally, a worthy opponent! Our battle will be legendary


obsidian_otto

It's gotta be a Gintama reference... right? 😂


Schmallow

What puzzled me more was what war Fontaine lost all their battleships in? She talks about it like it happened during her lifetime, which nation was Fontaine at war with???


HieX91

Liyue due to their aggressive 9-dash line maritime territory.


mango_pan

It's a historical ancient Liyue fishermen fishing ground. So it belongs to Liyue.


Anadaere

Everyone knows all water belong to Neuvilllete lmao


iceandtea127

Probably with Elynas about 500 years ago.


Schmallow

Yes but the woman says she served in the navy when there was still a navy, which would imply that she was there 500 years ago. So it must not have been against Elynas


kamyu4

Uhh, does she have blue hair? (I haven't played today yet) Chatillon, the guy who gave us the original Spinoblaster back in 3.8, was a hydro eidolon copy.


TheWitcherMigs

Fontaine lost it's marine battling Elynas during the cataclysm, they didn't bother building another one (probably because Furina had her head full) and because Meka became Fontaine main military asset


Schmallow

So did I misunderstand? Brest says that like she was there when the navy still existed, which would imply she's like 500 years old? Did I misinterpret that?


caucassius

probably not ALL ships got destroyed back then but they never commissioned to build another one and the last of the ship might have finally succumbed to time during her era. which is pretty impressive considering it lasted hundreds of years.


badmartialarts

Genshin is really loosey-goosey with timeframes and lifespans.


whencometscollide

Aren't they technically landlocked.


jerryiothy

I mean as far as I can tell one edge isn’t?


Valiant_Storm

They lost the whole fleet during the Cataclysm in the battle with Elynas. The loss of the modern fleet is, as far as I can tell, totally inexplicable. 


GamerSweat002

Gintama reference maybe?


Grouchy-Chain-7853

If you said this was the official name for one of the Fontaine puzzles I would believe it


uremog

ICVBCAHNBSRWBC for short


marcwritesmoore

Uh, because it's awesome.


Naelok

It's really perfect.


Chadzuma

You wouldn't get it


Lolimoutokawaii

I love Brest


Lolimoutokawaii

I love Brest


AkariFBK

Literal word salad


JohnMonkeys

Why wouldn’t it be?


situbusitgooddog

For peak 2024 anime title energy


Pastel_Sonia

Better question is who called this chick Brest of all things


Dekachonk

Cool Gun necessarily needs an unnecessarily long name, like 120cm-Caliber-Anti-Surface-And-Air Gunpowder-And-Electromagnetic-Propelling Semiautomatic Fixed Guns, which no one actually calls them because it's too long, so you either use an acronym or call it the OMEGA SPACE GUN.


Cyborexyplayz

Because least verbose genshin impact text. Also it's funny, probably.


Status_Educational

Imaginarium Theater has the best function ever "Show shorter description"


megadark121

one of the boons even with shorter descriptions was still 3 scrollbars long


Status_Educational

Well, at least they're trying?


megadark121

I didn't say they weren't but thanks for downvoting me anyway :)


TheMike0088

Genshin out here like "don't name your new mechanic or event something stupid and/or over the top for 5 minutes challenge (level impossible)"
