Not really important/other changes that I noticed: - The crossing/crosswalk in Lumina Square now acts and function like a road crossing, traffic now comes and goes and you can cross freely when the pedestrian light turns green. You can also be an agent of chaos and just withhold the traffic for a very lengthy period of time because the game will not kick you out of the crossing if you're standing in the middle when it's signaling that it will turn red. It can't turn red because you're in it. - They bought back one of the Thiren NPCs: I am referring to a little girl Thiren used to stand around at playground and another one that is accompanied by the granny and another kid by the HIA building, in the morning of Lumina Square. It became a regular human kid at 1.1, but they bought back the 1.0 model back. As for why, my guess is that the model that was used to add more variety to NPCs accidentally affected Lycaon's trust event which used the thiren kid model as opposed to the regular human one. - MORE HIA COINS! YIPPEE! - Added a new item from the Logistics Store in Scott Outpost, it's an item that gives you Notorious Hunt drops.

Honestly the optimizations to TV mode have made it feel great now. They cut a lot the transition periods out and even normal mode doesn't feel "slow" anymore. It just feels normal instead of sped up. I hope they don't entirely do away with it, because i do enjoy it, but it was a bit overbearing and just clunky before. If it released as it did now i don't think anyone would have had much of a problem

[@karurosu4121]

i think tv mode loses its charm extremely quick and while they reduced the waiting it still just looks incredibly boring as its just black screens and sometimes screens with stuff in it like im glad you enjoy it but it gets boring real quick to look at and if i were then i would look at voice of cards from yoko taro and make some art on the tvs to make it somewhat cooler. like if you are inside you have a floor tile in the screen instead of black tv screens or grass when outside something like that I personally would get rid of it completely and only keep it in exploration because i just want to slap stuff with ellen and having to deal with really easy puzzles that feel more like time wasters as you see instantly what you have to do i just rather have a fight cutscene scenario but thats just me.

[@somedude15231]

Yea, and the Golden Week event really made the TV mode sing for me. A big stage where you're more or less free to explore, find secrets and advance at your own pace is terrific and engaging. I hope they keep doing events like that. idk, man, it really feel like they're compromising on their design here to cater to impatient people, which really sucks. I get that they're customers or whatever, but customers aren't always right

[@chrono732]

TV mode exploration actually is good, I can see where I need to go or if I need to explore further to find hidden stuff. They just need optimizations. I can fully explore the whole map to find all the things I need to complete the run fully, without needing Fairy Assistance. Now, with it changed, I cannot do that and will need Fairy Assistance.

[@oscarfunez3806]

Just so we are clear because people like giving misinformation. From recent developer interviews, THEY won't REMOVE THE TV MODE. They specifically stated they would make it better balanced for not just the story but also in general. They admitted themselves that the TV mode was excessive in comparison to combat. They are performing an overhaul after 1.4 update, so 1.3 is already set in stone with what they already worked on, but rest assured TV mode won't be removed entirely. They want to find a good balance between segments that make more sense to have TV mode vs. segments that dont need TV mode. For example, Jane didn't need a TV mode since the focus wasn't on the siblings. The new story isn't so focused on the siblings. It's mainly a mix of the gang and outer ring. Post Edit: I want to make this very clear because some people are either too god damn stupid to read the interview or just being outright lazy. They specifically stated that the TV mode will remain in the game but balanced accordingly based on where the story stands, which I made very clear already. They clearly admitted that TV mode was excessive and, at times, unnecessary. Completely removing it from the story makes both proxies disconnected from the story entirely as that is what they literally do in the hollows to guide others. The Bangboo would be nothing but a mascot roaming around with you with the siblings essentially being background characters. I don't know why anyone is assuming they are removing it from the story when they never said they are. They are reducing the amount and overhauling combat and TV exploration from the story.

[@plvto1]

I don't know what it is with people and either not reading something all the way through or just spreading misinfo and everyone completely believing it.

[@elmariachi290188]

Yeah i cannot stand all the thumbnails “THEY REMOVED TV MODE!” or something like that. The tv mode is fine and it should stay in the game. So the fact that the devs really trying to find a perfect balance is very admirable since they could just easily ignored the criticism and just stick to what their vision.

I got what they were trying to do with TV-mode - and I didn’t mind it sometimes, but it was only good in short bursts. I wouldn’t want it removed entirely, just truncated.

[@xestalfer5774]

The mundaneness of the tv mode highlights the excitement when you finally engage in the real fight. If its removed, the combat wouldnt feel rewarding to get through. Instead of slowly removing tv mode, they really should have it overhauled. Seamless TV movement instead of what feels like a solid 1 second getting through 1 tile, maybe an electric current flowing across TVs as fast as a your finger or your your mouse can move through, Better UI (more vibrant colors other than dull gray for a start). More visuals such as an even more individually identifiable themes for each chapter. Also maybe even the parts that would need reading be more dynamic than from seeing 1 tv screen Such a shame because surprisingly even in optional story quests, they manage to make it feel like it explores something new. Such as when there is a TV pokemon basically, detective esque story quests, and plants vs zombie cannon combat thingy.

[@abstractpiles]

You hit the nail. I think the role of TV in story mode also enhance the story bits. I never hated the TV mode, and i would say CH3 is peak utilization of TV mode as an story medium. (also ft. The Prophecy mission) When i played the CH4, the absent of TV made me lost track of the story so fast. The dialogues just get dumped *WHILE* on combat. Wished people just stop bashing over an uncommon piece of game-design, sure it has some part where it get tedious, but completely removing it? I felt that i have *no time to breathe* after oxidized flashy-over the top animation.

for me personally, i like the tv mode, as im a more casual player and does not want to fight for every missions... i like to play the game casually but still have a challenge here and there. i like it more if they balanced it out between the tv mode, free roam mode, and combat mode.

[@countereclipse]

the tv mode at least lets you unwind from the overview of the map and from battle and is the unique mechanic of the game, since our protagonists are not involved in combat, they'rethe ones navigating for the agents. zzz limited open world can easily distract anyone because the way they made it means that every part of the map will have something interesting in it. But that shouldn't be an excuse (or lazy noodles who skip story coz they just want summons and waifus) to have tv mode completely removed

[@oscarfunez3806]

​@countereclipse From recent interview with devs, they won't completely remove. That statement is completely false from people throwing out misinformation. They will perform an overhaul on how they will make new story missions and more. It should be done by 1.4, but they themselves admit that the TV mode was petty excessive even for them so they will work on implementing a much better balance between moments that need a TV mode vs, moments that do not require TV mode.

[@ardyisdeniralg9147]

The game designer should create an environment where players can feel addicted to the TV mode, rather than remove it completely. Those TV mode was taken from old JRPG games, where pixelated people can explore places while encountering enemies here and there.

They also added a 2nd voice line for Grace. She used to only say "I only handle technical matters". Now she can say "Let's start the experiment!" As a controller player, this made me happy

[@linaquiet4606]

Wait wtf? Jane Doe story mission was good and all but as a 1 time thing (or ocasional) not as a permanent replacement for the story system. The reason I quit HSR was because of how slow and boring the walking from point A to point B just to trigger a dialog scene is. TV mode was inmersive and made sense since you're a freaking hacker... what an horrible change tbh.

Great video. Loved the music

I am still mad that unable to read Genshin types actually got TV Mode remove, it was such a cool and unique story telling method.

[@Fuzzycryptid]

So glad they didn't completely do away with tv mode! I really enjoy it personally.

[@karhall1635]

The changes to the story mode feel just awful to get through. The lack of TV mode has completely erased Phaethon and Fairy from existence, and the delivery of just walking around talking to people is mind-numbingly boring.

[@recews4754]

You are completely right

[@arnmercer7488]

ZZZ uniqueness gone.

[@Dyaems]

these are not included in the video because i assume people only play with mouse+keyboard on PC, but using **controller** i noticed the following after update: 1. scratch cards from howl/granny are way easier to complete now with analog stick 2. the controller now "auto detects" on game startup, no need to hit the start button on main screen to use the controller it may seem insignificant to most people but an improvement is an improvement

[@gwynevereolney356]

I don't know why people hate the TV parts so much. They're pretty fun imo. No problem with them cleaning up animations and streamlining the experience, but I hope they don't disappear from the game entirely.

[@jaybinay50]

I doubt they are removing it. They'd most likely change it up a bit. Because the main characters would end up mostly pointless to the story. They are Proxies. Their concept would have to change entirely. Pretty much a different way of guiding our fighters through Hollows...but that change would cost a lot of time and money. Might as well make a different game.

[@slikkadalikka]

Because it isnt that fun. The gameplay boils down to "press whatever direction the game tells you to press" The puzzles are all easy, and they give you the answer anyway. Its not like theres actually exploration involved because the stages are extremely linear. It doesn't feel like you're actually playing a game, it feels like you're sitting in a car with a driving instructor telling you what to press and when, except its impossible to make a mistake. The devs only implemented it in the first place as a story telling device to save on costs and dev time, but over time they wanted to phase it out for actual 3d exploration anyway

[@blueflare4139]

I just wish they’d toggle it for settings, people get so rude and defensive if they say you want to keep it and like it.

To those who are complaining about the TV being removed from the main story: you’re probably still going to enjoy the game, so don’t worry

[@ardyisdeniralg9147]

I'm enjoying it, but as a fan of the TV mode, I do feel like ZZZ lost something here. ZZZ now just feels like any other mihoyo games out there. I think they should have improved the TV mode by giving it more reward or challenge in exploration to make the players feel engaged in it, rather than removing it completely. I'm not a game designer, but I'm sure there are people in the company who can figure it out.

[@QQxoxoQQ]

Did they actually removed removed TV mode? What about exploration from HDD?

[@Kaimax61]

It lost something, and its closer and closer being just a Honkai clone.

[@OnigoroshiZero]

They removed the part that showed what the siblings do as proxies because stupid kids like you can't comprehend any other gameplay except walking and attacking.

[@afroninja0721]

@@ardyisdeniralg9147 They are not removing it completely just from the main story missions. It is being optimized for other parts of the game relax.

@@gustasyaeful well as some ppl said from above, since the story is focus on the new gang and not the sibling themself so no Tv mode just like Jane one so it kinda make sense now.

The removal of the tv mode just made them a side character now.

[@karurosu4121]

the siblings were incredibly boring anyway their role was super easy to fill by just making the cunning hares the protagonists and making one of em a hacker. i feel like most of the time belle and wise jist ruin the flow of the story

[@delfincool5495]

Your videos make realize how good the ost from the game are.

[@kiwee4577]

It makes sense when Jane Doe'a story didn't feature a TV mode since proxy wasn't involved. now in this current story, by removing TV mode altogether almost makes it feel like a proxy's main job is irrelevant. At least bring the mode once in the beginning of the story, and leave the rest the narrative in combat mode
