Good vid. i just wanna give my two cents to put on top of it, with genshin having so many characters, lots of old characters gets the shaft and never see the light of day anymore. having built so many characters since 1.0, its baffling to see how many characters are aboslutely useless to bring into play as the new mechanics practically negates them from being usable. So now your old characters are now what used to feel like powerhouses are now a liability and only fit certain niches.

I think Imaginarium Theater will alleviate this somewhat. You need to have such a widely-built account, plus the HP pools are lower so less power is needed to clear.

The one thing that annoyed me personally about Lyney carrying the stupid stick. Was that the entire mystery Clervie could have been solved on there by Lyney asking one question. However before I reveal this question let me remind you Lyney specialises in intelligence gathering. He said so himself in the quest. So please explain how on earth when asking Clervie if she had someone who could back her up and then when Clervie said Perrie. Why didn't Lyney ask what does Perrie looks like. Oh I know because Clervie's description of Perrie would be a girl around my age and height, with white and black hair, black/onyx blue eyes with red x's for pupils oh and sometimes her hands might go black if her curse is flaring up. Where it would immediately cause them realise she's talking about Arlecchino and when they inform Clervie that she is the Knave, Clervie would have corrected them and said no it's her mother Crucebina. Which would have caused Freminet to immediately realise she's talking about the previous Knave and explained that Arlecchino killed her and took over then made the house a much better place. This one simple question that someone who specialised in intelligence Gathering should have asked would have completely shut down the mystery story arc on their end.

Tbh i think the story is rlly lacking lately too in terms of what they COULD be doing… i hate not being able to get to know the characters without the MC interacting with everyone. It makes the traveler feel a bit annoying after a while. HSR nailed it with the character POV story telling so you can get to know the characters by themselves. I really hope Genshin adds this to the game. Honaki impact had this type of story telling too and i think its great for world building and increasing ur investment into certain characters

I think, many have unrealistic expectations towards Hoyo. Give me lots of content all the time, but don't make me burn out from ll the things I need to do. Plus the individual wish list of smaller features (of course, mine is the most important) and then the stear the game towards two directions main wish (make it battle centric and story centric)... At a certain point, they have to decide to ignore some of the yapping because it is impossible to please everyone... And I say that, because I see them trying to fix all the issues (just you lot have no idea how insanely lot of work it is to create a game feature). They tried to make the storries more unique and interesting and cinematic and interactive....they tried to make NPC body language and design more varied. The tried to fix the banner complaints, they tried to add more endgame for fighting enthusiasts (ImagTheatre), progression for leveling up after reaching the current limits... People complined that the training guide or what is useless so they tried to improve that, too... Sure, some things took longer time than others, but don't forget that they need to also progress with everything they scheduled by default for each update. When you think about the fact that they have to also develop all this, the 6 weaks between patches is not a whole lot of time... Even for a big team, because they need to work as a team and get through some usual office work hoops, too (giving update to all stakeholders and get aprovals and such) And I am sure they will try to fix some other issues in the future. But just keep in mind: they will never be able to please everyone... That said, they could do more minor enhancements, but... Maybe they'll have time only after the core gameis done...

you cannot count characters as content since it is not possible to obtain them without spending money. (with the sence that you cannot get every one.) For example if you relase patch X.X with a primogems and you need b primogems to get new character, usually a<b, hence you cannot say its content since its not available for everyone

Maybe I commented this somewhere else but I disagree. It’s common for non-gacha games to release paid DLC. This downloadable content isn’t suddenly “not content” just because a player chooses not to buy it. Gacha characters are the same. The game purposefully gates away some of its content in hopes players will spend to acquire it.

My problem was not so much with the story telling because I am used to get dissapointing results from Genshin but I hated the dumbness of Lyney and fluctuating "power". I mean Lyney is my favourite character from Fontaine (personality wise) and everyone tells us that he will be the next kin of HotH and we obviously see that he is not the strong character, but he should be the smart and manipulative mastermind, SO WHY THE **** YOU MAKE HIM DUMB??? You feature him with almost no achievements and feats, during the Arle fight where he should have proven at least that he is competent enought to fight Arle, he just gets his ass whooped, Lynette and Freminet did more to defeat Arle than him. I am not saying that he should have fought her but made some cool trap to gain time for Traveller and his siblings but nothing. They should have shown us that he is competent at his field as ruler of HotH but instead, the whole quest he is just like: "Father PWEAAAASE, forgive us:!!!!". He doesnt seem as someone worthy of being Arle succesor, he just looks like incompetent kid... And as for Traveller... why the heck we did get whooped by Knave??? I mean we beat Raiden, Signora, Scara mecha god etc, I know you can get argument that at all those fights we had external help, but you know where you cannot say that? NARWHAL. NO, neuvillete didnt help us, we beat him by ourselves. That just have to mean that Narwhal is far weaker than we thought, but it seems inconsistent when he should have been the "nation destroyer..." I hate powerscaling in this game..

I haven’t had not even nearly as much as fun with Genshin like I did when this event was out, it was beyond entertaining and frankly Genshin has never been the same since this event. It’s such a shame because for years now I always had in the back of my mind that they could simply make this event permanent, and fix the “endgame” problem, yet it just never came. I’ll never feel the fun and excitement that Genshin used to give me back during these days, and knowing that has crushed my motivation to even bother keep playing. It’s just lazy man…

FOREVER. it was inconsequential dialogue and yet we as the traveler are STILL forced to forget?? this game goes nowhere.

Imagine calling abyss hardcore when the only hardcore thing you must do is the insane grind for characters and stats. If you're a new player interested in combat content you can delete Genshin there and then. Or idk just kill open world bosses and weeklies for the sake of it. Genshin needs HSR's simulated universe analogue, it's fun and much more early game friendly and can pretty much be easy, normal, hard and probably even hardcore. And it's not spent after a few night sessions

I get it that a large portion of Genshin's lore is connected to the past like as if we're in history-class 24/7 where we have to learn and uncover more from if we want to do more and better in the present and future but yeah Genshin could really allow us to immerse ourselves in the present-events more too even if it's not some Slice of Life that it needs like e.g the roles of the Traveler and Abyss-sibling might be easily interchangable but even all twin-siblings in general have individuality outside of being another person's twin, maybe we could see Traveler learning more to slow down on their journey and try to connect with Teyvat's residents even outside of Archon-quests, even if one might say they get along with everyone in general there have to be some people like in Monstadt with whom one of the siblings connects closer with than the others because of similair personality and favorite activities. Plus we gotta have more cinematics and have Traveler speak more since despite not originating from Teyvat, after about a few years they should have adepted enough to Teyvat's language to not constantly need Paimon to do the conversing for them.

Putting the animation in the game instead of the exposition given by Arlecchino seems like an obvious choice. And yes I probably would have enjoyed the quest more if that’s how it was. I see the point about it not fitting into Genshin void because Honkai Impact does it and it’s amazing, I love it. I always look forward to the next one when playing. Maybe I look forward to it a little TOO much. I look forward to it so much that it completely overshadows the rest of the story. It makes me almost want to rush through the story so that I can see the next animation. The animations are so good that they are what makes or breaks an arc. They are what everyone remembers about an arc. Maybe this is what they were trying to avoid. They released it separately so that they are remembered as two separate entities. Or maybe the animation video file just took up too much space, who knows lol.

It was a double edged sword for me. I really enjoyed the animation. Watching it for the first time before playing the quest was an amazing experience. But it the watered down the experience of he story quest. If I had played the story quest first, I likely would have enjoyed it more. But then watching the animation afterwards probably wouldn’t have had as much of an impact on me. I likely wouldn’t have cared nearly as much about Clervie if I didn’t see her in the animation before.

Before watching the video, I personally like that they showed us the backstory of Clervie and Peruere first before the story quest. Because if I didn't watch that, I'd go into the story quest and give no importance to Clervie. Like who is this NPC kid and why should I care? The last part where she says goodbye wouldn't be similarly as impactful. But I do acknowledge that moving forward, newer players wouldn't have the benefit of watching the backstory first because it isn't integrated into the game. So the experience of most players with regards to this is playing the story quest without knowing the backstory. And tbh, I don't really know what to say about that. WIthout knowing the background of the Peruere, the SQ is basically a generic "she wasn't a bad guy in the first place," twist. And most wouldn't be as attached or caring towards Clervie. Would be nice if they incorporate the animation into the game. Like when you start the SQ, you are given an option to watch the whole thing.

After watching the video, I agree that they should've put the animation in quest when Perry the Crimson Platypus was monologuing with still images in the background. But again, the only ones that are spoiled with the animation are current players. Most newer players won't even know that there is an animation. But this also brings another problem, that is, the Perry monologue with images is not as catchy as the animation. So newer players might not even get attached to Clervie like we did with the animation.

Thanks for watching! Good point about the existing/new player divide. @Aritulpa commented that, teasing some of Clervie’s past importance with Arlecchino in a trailer without giving the whole thing would have worked too.
