AS A LINGYANG MAIN THANK YOU FR FR

genshin player here. started playing because my then-boyfriend (hubby now <3) recommended it to me because I was enjoying breath of the wild so much. came for the open world + traversal but stayed for the story ultimately (and by story i specifically mean kaeya/diluc/childe/zhongli/itto/the anemo boys/neuvi/wrio-). I tried wuwa a few weeks back and I loved the combat and movement, I found myself picking fights just for the fun of it and realized when I went back to genshin that I... didn't do that. if I don't need the drops and they're not guarding a locked chest, I'm not fighting groups of enemies. and tbh, I'm not sure if there's a point going for the drops anymore, either. I haven't beat/cleared spiral abyss yet but I'm starting to think there's no point doing so. it's a nice goal to work towards but I've hit the end game of genshin and just... don't care for it as much anymore. which breaks my heart because on the one hand I want to stay so I can beat spiral abyss with my favorites, I love kaeya to pieces and I want to beat the abyss with him (idc if freeze isn't meta, i do NOT care i will bring it back i stfg) but like wtf do i do after that???? i'm still here because I'm hooked on the story and so far, wuwa hasn't *really* pulled me in with whatever they're doing. i want to reunite aether with lumine, or at least I want to see how the story unfolds. but I'm really not vibing with most of the characters in natlan right now and I'm deeply concerned about the next nation (snezhnaya), because they just... really haven't hit with natlan for me and I fear for what they're gonna try to pull in 6.0. I've also hit a point where I spend more time doing fanworks for genshin right now (almost 600k words worth of fanfiction I've written in under a year, love you kaeya <3) than I do playing the game anymore, and I'm starting to think that my future with genshin is exclusively in fan works. because I have a sinking feeling they'll never resolve all the set-up stories and potential plot hooks + threads in the characters they've given us over the years and that their fans will treat those characters infinitely better than hoyo ever will. which... really sucks. I want to be excited for snezhnaya and khaenri'ah but I know damn well that neither of those stories are going to get a satisfying conclusion, because hoyo doesn't care and they've made that incredibly clear. genshin is the child of the family that kinda gets brushed past and it sucks to think so negatively about the game that has, quite literally, taken over my life in various different ways but like........ I'm not delusional enough to think otherwise, yknow? sorry for the long rant. I'm just... tired, ig. I want to go back to wuwa and sink my teeth into it, but it's so hard because I love the mechanics but not the stories/characters surrounding it, and if I go to the game that has characters I love to pieces and a story I'm hooked on, I'm bored/frustrated with the mechanics tying them together

AND THAT'S WHY PEOPLE DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT LORE Honestly I would have been lost on wth is going on if i skipped this part! Like 1.6 chapter terminology is ALL explained in here. Also the most important part is about tacet fields, etheric sea and retroact rain, it'll surely come back to bite us

They should partner with Rockstar Games to produce something iconic

Not a dry ass McDouble! haha I have never played a game this style, but I know it won't be this one now!

you're adding facts to NTE that werent even said by the devs which causes misinformation. If it doesnt seem like your thing just say that instead of trying to convince an audience one is better than the other and they aren't even out yet. Ananta hasnt even shown real gameplay and NTE has.

You made this video assuming CBT1 = Final version. Let's see.

Which one is better, Ananta or Neverness to Everness 😁?.

I agree with everything u said here. like seriously, NTE looks like a cheap ver of Mugen and ZZZ when it comes to graphics and design. it looks sad bruhh....😩

"Zhongli with tittie" XDD wtf haha

Are people actually blind or what ? this is a bunch of prerender things, look at the white and black barrels at the right at 4:58

How those Anta/mugen is different? You can kill npc and it has hot coffee feature? It's just another gacha like other.

I felt the same about NTE. Not a single design is appealing to me. It looks a generation behind WuWa, somehow. As in technological generation. The thing behind NTE is that it was ToF creators and ToF is the only gacha game that actually got the gameplay loop right and it's not even close. Oddly enough it doesn't even look like NTE is copying ToF in that department. ToF executed so poorly, Hotta won't even copy their own good ideas. Ananta looks on level with WuWa in appeal, but it will still come down to the gameplay loops. For me, these games have to stop being "gacha games" and start being open world games or action RPGs that just have gachas in them. Long-term, gameplay focused, content that is not FOMO (dailies or once-clear events) and is not just finding a box.

Okay here's the thing tho, it's a beta... Typically gacha beta's are trash, and tbh that's why they have them so they can take player feed back and improve the game. Wuthering waves first beta was hot garbage, yet they improved A LOT, even from the second beta to the offical release they still improved. And now it's one of the more popular gacha games. Neverness to everness can still make something of itself. And implement some good stuff. I don't like people discrediting a game that's not even officially out yet. It's a BETA for a reason... It's still a work in progress.

Bro, I abs agree with you. Someone needs to wake up these NTE glazers. When I watched NTE trailer, there was nothing catching my attention. The model/animation looks so MID like ToF back in da day. WE are in 2024 and those designs/animation aint sell. On the other hand, everything shown in ANANTA trailer is NUCLEAR. P.s: Even if it turns out to be true that NETEASE ruins ANANTA, it is okay for me. The reason is that there are other games that I personally look forward to such as Azur Promillia, Project 2/3 and Duet Night Abyss. Yep alsp, unless Hotta SIGNIFICANT redesign or improve their model/animation, I aint gonna try that TOF 2.0 SHIIT.

There's people saying: "You can enjoy both tho" Yeah. I'm playing like... 4 or 5 gachas right now. Do you really think I can play both??? They're almost the same game, but one it looks like it's gonna be objectively better. OF course NTE is cooked.

Chill, it's not even the real gameplay yet.

tof certainly was too much for the gacha community. i loved that game a lot, the mmo and crew features, the lively cities, mounts, actually engaging combat before wuwa came out, etc. but with so many flaws and challenges it went through it just wasnt destined to have a good run. it would have been bigger if they had properly polished the game before release AND didnt say shit about being a genshin killer. for me though the thing that hurt it the most was the sheer amount of gacha, microtransactions and rng in the game. like you would have to spend upwards of 150aud for outfits and vehicles that are locked behind their own gacha. it's ridiculous. i had to drop the game after i stepped back and noticed that i spent almost thousands in the first 2 years i had played it. really hoping that nte and ananta dont go down this route.

It’s kinda weird how 2 very similar games are releasing around the same time

3:02 I skipped to this part in order to get the point. Well damn, I got to the point.

ToF died for me because all of the powercreept and pay to win in that game, you HAD to play multiplayer to get anything done and the whale ended up doing 99% of the damage, support ant tanking.

I've always been an Ananta/P. Mugen believer since day 1 and I'm very satisfied in what I've seen in the trailer. The only disappointing part is that they change the male MC's design, he looks more generic now compared to the previous design. I just hope they add a character creation or customization.

You kind of hit the nail on the head for me on one point. I don't even play gacha games, but the setting of NTE was what had my attention. Immersive open world cities are rare as fuck so I was ready to go all in. Ananta looks...like, obviously, GTA 6 levels of open world city. Next gen looking by comparison so far... The thing is though, we're looking at lots of real gameplay footage of NTE. All we have of Ananta is a very nice trailer. We know some of that gameplay is real, but to what extent? Did they really implement multiple well designed sports side activities? Do the NPCs actually have believable behavior like GTA NPCs, or are they just huge resource hogs on your computer? I'm reserving judgment just a little, but I am way more excited for Ananta now. And if it's at least mostly as good as it looks, I may forget NTE. Unless NTE releases first.

ananta just has so much more life to it compared to nte

What I really want to see is the actual gameplay, yes we saw short segmented snippets of gameplay for ANANTA but I want to see the full in-depth gameplay. B/c games that are going to release in the near future always have the most interesting or enticing trailers known to man but the gameplay could be terrible, not saying ANANTA is going to be bad but I need to see some gameplay.

NTE copied Project Mugen and tried to steal their thunder, only to be punished for it later. I still want to see NTE do well, but they have to push themselves to be more creative. They need to take a risk on innovation and try to stand out. They also need to take in people's feedback and improve. They need to upgrade the character models. And they need to look towards popular well-received AAA titles and anime series for inspiration, instead of copying from other gacha games and "doing what they do, but worse." They need to make a "high quality game" instead of a "cash grab gacha game." Gacha is simply the monetization method, which can be attached to any game, no matter the content. Devs need to try harder to make a great game that people can love, no matter the monetization method being used. We have finally entered an era where live service games *need* to reach a high quality standard to survive.

Alastor was our strawberry pimp INTRODUCING YANWU AS OUR BLUEBERRY PIMP

You've said everything I've been saying low-key. NTE has only 3 things going for it. Now I DO like this Yokai ghost thing it got going on. I liked the ghost race gameplay it looked great until it transitioned to animation. The characters…ass. I like the red Neko girl and the black haired girl…their animations actually looked cool to me(and designs) Everyone else is trash, and the dog dude feels like furry bait. I hate the purple-haired girl too, milf bait who radiates Ara Ara energy, every game has to have one but NTE just uses it as a hook for players to join. They don't seem the personally care about the characters, everyone is generic. That's the furry, that's the bratty child, that's the milf, that's a cat maid, that's the gamer girl, that's the hot old dilf, bland self-insert protagonist, and quirky girl…did I miss anyone? You can literally put the face to the name by reading that list, however that's harder to do in wuwa or even Genshin for goodness sake. Quirky girl? Which one? Milf? Which one? You need to be more specific. I HOPE NTE does well…but trying to keep optimistic is hard when you have Ananta and Wuwa to compete against. Beating genshin? Absolutely! Competing with the other games? Nah, unless they do a complete refresh. I will play NTE and hope my devices can handle it. Fingers crossed that English dubbing and story is superior…otherwise NTE doesn't have a bright future.

I sure the hell don't want to play GTA with anime girls.

I don't see how this game survives simply based on the specs required to run it. 32gb ram is the recommended specs. Is a brand new iPhone going to run this? Is the average higher end PC running this? No man. No way. Not at the specs that make it look good that's for sure.

Truth be said ananta looks alot better nte is dead, but mannn chill with ur hate it’s not a big deal which game is better it benefits us both ways but you sound like u hate hotta from the depth of your soul 😂

What NTE is missing a Soul what games like Tower of fantasy failed to have too, Ananta has a soul from the looks of it.

hater

hater

If ananta is way better Im switching ZZZ for this game But if it is wonky then Im staying with ZZZ That could be the only reason that Im looking forward for this open world game

Im kinda looking forward to it since its just anime gta mixed with other games but knowing that it's a gacha game I'll probably sit back and watch other people stream it.

bro ToF is probably fine now, but in the 1st week of release I fell through the world 3 times and had 6 hackers fuck with the overworld. All while everyone was calling it the Genshin Killer, and I had alr quit GI so I was also praying on it's downfall. The gacha community was ready for ToF but that game was not ready and felt like shit to play, completely unfinished at launch

>Was ToF really that bad Yes. Yes, it absolutely was. Don't get me wrong, the MMO and world boss aspects were fun, but everything else about the game was trash. I'm still malding over its story. You were supposed to be this uber special officer called Excutor, only to get mogged in almost every cutscene. The first few time could be forgiven since you did get injured, but you were still being mogged by a little girl with a tiny robot and a quadriplegic woman. Even when you get to the desert area, you still need your butt saved. That's not even mentioning Hykros doesn't have data on you despite being one their super special character. No team, no family, not even a record of being MIA or KIA, while you specifically saw your "twin" getting separated at the very beginning of the game. Thats not even getting into how they completely fumbled monetization and how blatant they were favoring CN.

If NTE adds a full blown police system, then I think it could have a chance. Also I need to see gameplay of Ananta to be sure that it is really better.

gen considering buying a ps5 because of ananta🥴

Until Ananta doesnt show actual gameplay footage its gonna be sketchy

trust me brother, more people want to play "blue kitty simulator" than you might expect. you can make a trailer as flashy as you want but god knows the actual state of ananta, on the other side, we know that nte is 1. at least real, we didnt know project mugen was abandoned or not for too long. 2. its improving rapidly

I think the same thing. This game will die really fast if they don't fix their several issues. I mean, when your beta is mid, you know there's a problem.

can i still be rubbed and kissed on the forehead and whispered to despite liking NTE😂

Chixia pronounciation: chE-zhe-a

I personally like f rovers outfit better

Either way my storage is fucked, I gotta buy new SSD's lol

nah the ending is so weird but i think ananta and nte should be in piece and work together
