He focused too hard on the death part alot of the time. It wasnt just death that maked Himeko so memorable but rather its how she died. She sacrificed herself and it effects the characters greatly, It gave them a hard time , sorrow and then you can see the effect it has on their growth as a person. Himeko's death didnt just give stake to the story.. It was something that was used to light the path for the character's growth. For Kiana espicially. Every hard time and difficulties she faced she remembered the kindness that Himeko had given her and so she move on so that she could be worthy so that she will always be sure that the who has sacrificed soo much for her have made the right choice in doing so. So that their sacrifice was never in vain but rather a beacon that lights the night sky. The thing that makes HI3 story great is not that characters die but rather that their Death has meaning, It gives growth and they show it throughout the story. Through Wendy's death we realise that it isint a happy world where even if things go wrong we will laugh and go back. Its a world where success may result in sacrifice. And the main theme of HI3 world building itself gives that desperation off. They are living in a world that is dying. It is a hopeless fight. And in such a world where people can die these people live their life the best they can and know how. Fighting for the world for their own personal beliefs. That is also the reason why Elysia is soo loved. Not just bc she is flirty and funny and beautifull.. But bc she is soo much more than that. She was a shining beacon of life while the world was at its darkest. And they show it soo well. What Honkai Star rail is missing is the connection with the characters that HI3 players have with the characters. I feel like.. The connection we have with other characters is shallow.

i like when you dont agree on his claim yet your reason is all over the place and you cant defend why you dont agree. All i heard from you throughout the video when you disagree is "just because, doesnt mean" kind of thing, "i disagree but im not sure" but you cant make an example of other options to debunk the claim. Like when you said, you dont agree with deaths and stakes, yet you cant even say an example of stakes other than death will make the story better if there are no deaths. Do better, because there alot of of his statement that you dont agree and laugh about it but then you cant even explain why and sometimes that you cant even get his point.

Your crazy if your buying this crocodile tears..ur Making millions out of ppl and they are not getting the right treatment..... anxiety from what? Being Rich..fix the fucking game if u got time to cry...cry tears of joy wheb the game is better

21:41 Chapter 9??????????????

5:50 Seele is the most interesting character.

its nonsense that death will make the story better but when you know that the game is able to kill a character, the story might affect you much more.

Becoming a billionaire doesn't mean a person won't have a passion and care for his creation. He is a tech otaku, a weeb that wants to make good game for weebs. The money they make in genshin went into developing another game with massive success and enjoyment too. Stop being jealous all the time, he makes money with effort, people are paying for characters in a free to play game because that is what its worth. If you don't understand that at least understand that different people values different things. Oh you don't get qol you get in other games in genshin and then mad about it? If some qol can take away your enjoyment from all things genshin has to offer maybe you don't enjoy games like genshin in the first place then? If you want 10000 roll per month you can play arknights or azur lane or something. Design choice and marketing strategy exist to keep the game profitable after all. If hoyo was charity you won't get the quality you have in genshin now. People that think hoyo is losing money over wuwa maybe don't know hoyo already have enough money to invest in nuclear power and build charity body lol.

Skipped Ein for collab sadly

Meow

The kits are out they are broken 😂

Dsouls isn't hard either.

ZZZ became my main game honestly, I've never loved gacha characters more than in ZZZ

Game made more money in a bit under a month than "Who ? What ?" did since launch... You have to be braindead to think it's a failure... Sincerely, get your genetic material off the census if you're that dumb

smh insane

if get 1 dollar for every cc saying zzz will flop, i will have 1000 dollars. Like can we stop already ? The game is out for 2 mouth almost, this shit content is anyway nobody will watch unless is popped up on recommendation like me

YIPPEE

I personally found the game really enjoyable not only in gameplay but also in atmosphere. It gave me a WELL NEEDED breath of fresh air (despite it is a gacha just as its brothers) I just find the atmosphere so chill and relaxing. I love its character's and I am currently Inter-knot lvl 50. I can see why people don't like the game, but it isnt THAT bad as many people claim. Is it hard? It heavely depends on what we are talking about, because Withering Garden is already challenging enough with 3 debuffs, let alone with all 11 at the same time, because that's End-game content. But 80% of content most people will experience is NOT hard.

Exactly, Hologram challenge is END-GAME challenge content, you don't see people try to fight it at level 10. If people want to hold the same standard when comparing games, they should compare Hollow Zero Withering Garden or the 11 difficulty rating Nineveh. Nah, who am I kidding, most WuWa tunnel vision on the ZZZ easy content just to make themselves feel good lol, they'll deny everything else like their life is depended on it.

this happened because ALOT of ignorant immature snowflakes in the community cant accept a FICTIONAL GAME DOESNT NEED REPRESENTATION so they immediately resort to death threats and their idiotic "boycott"

I really don't think it can be Miyabi. Because right before introducing Swordmaster, it's mentioned that this document is part of Eridu's founding report. So not just previous era, but the beginning of the era.

Do not use those lootbar sites. They are dangerous.

It sold over 300m in first monthu USD so no it's not a flop and ppl need to get off that copium

Dawei saved Honkai Impact in the past and now he will save Genshin finally Cai Haoyu took his hand off all the company's projects and Dawei and the new director of Honkai and Star rail can deliver what they always wanted for the players

CEO: Ohh no my wallet feels threatened, I better start crying so that my cult players throw more of their money in my bank account.😢

If he listens or even reads Global community opinion - he will quit his job then, that's what you get for " ignoring your community feedback" , if i see da wei in a random street , of course i am gonna thank him for creating an amazing game, but da wei needs to come out his basement and learn that there is a thing called "version survey" and i bet its not in millions , its probably in few thousands, only the people who read and are genuinely trying to communicate write it for years - myself included, been writting in for 2 years now, and it sure doesn't take 4 years to see what people are trying to convey, and check it out if anything needs to change, genuinely cant believe a game like genshin where we all thought "devs knew" but judging by his words " its devs were too arrogant to even look at those surveys" . i don't believe that a billion dollar company , where the each month ,gets 50+ million $ per patch - only by mobile alone, cant hire 5 or more people to read and analyze surveys. either they were ignorant, or they never reached the devs, or they simply just never bothered to even open those surveys. Either way, poeple went a bit ahead, and i no hard feelings - they deserved it, good riddance, it seems they are taking initiative for first time, i hope good things are on the way for genshin, i am excited for 5.0, qol were absolutely impressive, they took a step further in qol. if 5.1-5.2-5.3 doesn't have anything good then consider this whole " we will listen from now on , a fake stunt/promise " personally i hope it doesn't end that way.

Remember kids: It only took them FOUR YEARS and WUWA to fix Genshin.

Because he's game going to down as he go against our islam not see how they used and we don5 have to play and also why peaples falling to that even if they give some rewards but tak3 away your wallets truly a real money that you earn after soo hard job do seriously peaples well aware and well aways from them let them regrets they deserves that truly

Thank you Kitty

7:31 usually, good games requires 3 years to complete. for them to finish it in 1 year is something. but we all know genshin is not perfect when it was released like all other games.

Saying Furina powercrept XQ or Yelan is pretty wrong though. They excel at pretty different things. Yelan and Furina I can kinda see, but not otherwise

I think death is an absolutely neutral to the quality of the story. The amount of fakeouts was bit too much. Fake Tingyun, fake Firefly, fake Robin, fake Sunday and then a cope out with Firefly death and the strage thing with Aventurine

After 4 years deciding to improve the game 😂, bcuz of competition they never inprove theyre game, thanjs for wuwa to bring the justice

The Crocodile tears, 😂😂

If this game is a flop, Wuwu must be at ToF level right now. And I'm not even talking revenue wise.

If people say they do this for money Of course, they do this for money. Genshin is a free game and they need the money to keep the game running anf give us content And i feel Da wei's Because not just for the money Getting bad reviews or bad comments to your project is hurtful

He's net worth 5 billion

Hoyo just threw some bones to shut up barking dogs 😂

I really appreciate that you use an adult cat girl looking as your avatar and you didn't care for your avatar showing cleavage as most do nowadays. As also you don't force your voice (or use AI conversor) to speak like an anime little girl as many do! Feel proud of yourself!

I heard that Dawei is not the one who in charge in Genshin game those years backs, yes he does involve in development only but didn't have any authority on it, Genshin game project is belong to one of Dawei's friend named Cai who have history been a stingy person, i heard that in the meeting Dawei try to persuade Cai to be more generous to his game's players since Genshin become more successful than the others but......😒 anyway Dawei is in charge now so i hope he could make Genshin more fun to play for everyone instead becoming a repetitive game that certainly make other players quit😒 i kind feel sad for Dawei who bear all the burnt, i hope Cai get his karma

but they pandered to a community that had no clue what they wanted and ended up with a nothing burger for a game. Like sure you can explore and shit in the game but if you have been playing for some time you never go back to old regions unless its to farm for something or someone. So i think maybe taking a bit of the word from outsiders might be helpful!! this is coming from someone who has played genshin (ill drop uid if proof is needed) for a long time. But when then no end game story game and then the events where just reruns with a slight twist it got old. This company has the chance now to not listen to their community who has got them to this point and listen to others for once they might actually make a good game again. I'm also redownloading genshin not to so how my account does in the abyss. Also they need to be give out better free 5*'s standard banner is just rude...

being able to take and accept criticism is a crucial part on being a game developer. this man has made games for 12 years, he owns a multibillionaire company, he should be accustomed to criticism, especially when that criticism is as serious as racism and l0l1c0n.

About the realistic food. It's pretty common in food or cooking themed anime. Some people used to complain about how anime food used to look unappetizing. So animators had to step up their game. Sometimes they use real food and sometimes they use CGI. And those are not Bailu's horns, it's just a custom decoration. He also made a custom decoration for Sushang his adopted niece. The creepy factor. While he's cooking, he's also plotting revenge against Hoolay and other Borison. Borison enslaved and experimented on Foxians for centuries. He also needs Borison blood to make a cure for General Faixeo. She was attacked and infected by one of them. Plus the day the trailer dropped is Day of the Ghost in China. This year it was August 18,2024. It's kinda like their Day of the Dead. And there's also Halloween coming up too.

I'm on the same boat regarding hopes that this is the start of an uphill climb for Genshin. I hope this will mean good things for the future of Genshin. I like the attention the devs are giving it lately and 5.0 was a really good stream. I will still fill out surveys and provide as much feedback as I can in hopes they continue to listen. There will still be the negative nancys out there trying to bring them down, but hopefully, they will take to heart the voices of those who still play the game.

This is why im glad some people stay poor... the generic comment of "omg rich person is only sad because they can now only afford 52 sports cars"... rich being someone who can do more than you... these people will turn on the people they praise on a dime ... this case wuwa... the moment their self importance's and ego gets hurt. And i seen these comment applies to anyone that is better off them them. that they arent allowed to be sad because of them being better off XD .... So people are assuming the tears are only possible because of profit margins loss XD? not the endless supply of death threats and profanity because of something as simple as skins? Character looks? Political symbolism that might appear randomly sometimes? The many VA that where targeted for simply existing XD? Thats not something people should be allowed to cry about in these people mind because their job gets them such a better life compared to what you have. i bet you feel the same about your boss and coworkers... or the immigrants taking your job... the color folks or whites that are clearly taking from you.

Wow, this was an extremely level-headed and nuanced take. You don't know that you can't do that when talking about Genshin Impact?! Ugh, how dare you! /s

Boohoo billionaire sad he finally has to be more generous in his game because competition is starting to catch up

There are some very cynical people in this comment section lol.

I wouldn’t trust the words of a mega corpo maniac. They are not your friend they're only doing it for the money

You know why he is crying? Because instead of 6 yachts, he would only be able to afford 4 yachts because of that 1 fate point system. Now, instead of having 20 Ferraris and 19 Lambos, he will only be able to afford 15 Ferraris and 13 Lambos because of that free standard five-star and also the radiance increase luck of obtaining the limited 5 star. Poor Dawei, Let's pray for him. 😕😕😕😕😕

"On the extreme" yes, I agree. Genshin is not by all means perfect as a game, but people who felt "personally" hurt by Genshin team's decisions in the past are echoing extreme negative feedbacks and shitposting. On top of that, the people trying to hold those people down are also overly positive about the game. There is such a lack of reliable voices to listen to in the Genshin playerbase who are nuanced and not extremely biased. It's so much easier for people to dismiss things about Genshin, whether the good and bad, so they can defend their own toxic behaviors. At some point the loud community was either "I'm trashing on Genshin and harass the dev team cause they weren't good to us" or "I'm gonna be overprotective towards Genshin because the game saved my life, and other people's opinions DONT MATTER and i refuse to listen to them because they don't like the game" Both these sides did not help Genshin. That's definitely what Dawei meant about confusion and anxiety. But people rather meme that they're just collectively worrying over profits. They refuse to consider that the anxiety and confusion could be true because they have drawn their own conclusions already. And the people protecting Genshin now is spreading their own conclusions about Cai Haoyu's resignation being the reasons of Genshin's bad reputation. Like... there is so much more to it than just one bad guy causing all this. It sounds like scapegoat, yk. If people disagree with this, I'd be happy to be enlightened as long as you won't be eagerly throwing hate because you're salty nor defending without properly keeping your biases in check Overall, I love the game. I just hate what they turned Paimon into. That's about it. I care less about the fate points in signature weapons because we can easily clear endgame content as long as we levelled up. Imaginarium theater is still easily clearable. I care less about primo rewards from quests. I've never thought of primos to be necessary because Genshin isn't a hardcore game, and there really isn't an issues with powercreep. The only other thing I agree with the community is the lack of "actual" endgame content to this day for hardcore players. Imaginarium theater is just basically extended gameplay time, but it lacks skills challenge and complex mechanics. I hope devs cook on that more. I'd be interested even as a casual player. I played the game for the story, lore, immersion and exploration, and I think of the combat as just a bonus. People can't get a character they like and they rage quit. Like huh? I do think people want Genshin to be something that it isn't and they're heavily projecting. It's kinda like One Piece. There are people who love One Piece for the journey and the slowburn storytelling pacing, and there are those who don't find satisfaction from it. And that's really fine. One Piece also has its downsides. There are also people who overly praise One Piece. The extreme reactions and agendas just don't provide anything other than drama. They are the withering of Irminsul 😅
