One thing I'll never understand about Genshin is why they main characters barely show up in the game. Even in their own story quests, the majority of time is spent on random npcs you don't care about at all. What's also dumb is how they also completely disappear from the world instead of just hanging out. Like, why can't Ningguang be in her own palace, why can't Barbara and Jean be in Mondstadt. If you could actually interact with characters, it'd make the game feel a lot more alive

[@FlamingNinjaBoi]

It truly is a mystery. I can't even properly theorize about it. Like there's no real reason to do things this way, is there? I can't even make an assumption. It just makes no sense. Star Rail is doing much better in this regard. For starters, we get a core cast of characters that we can get to know better over time. That's going to be a nice addition to the journey. But then all of the previous characters continue existing in the world, and then you get the companion side quests that even let them visit you on the train. Oh, and there's the random daily interactions via text messaging. Minor, but neat. I'm low key excited to get all the Xianzhou characters on the train, lol. It'd be so cool to have Jing Yuan - general of the army - casually checking out your digs. But something that's bothering me on that front is they didn't do all of the characters, for some reason. I think right now we're missing Seele, Bronya, and Herta. Hope they fix that at some point.

I think it was even more painful when the inazuma main story was just 80% npcs and 20% playable characters (itto, kuki, kirara, heizou, and other playable weren't even a part of this huge event). Even worse is that they didn't even build up or talk about Raiden shogun's backstory to add more depth to our fight with raiden, obvious hints that the fatui was doing stuff in the background in the archon quest (this was in the world quest with the fking pot looking thing but who the fk plays that before the main story?), the fact that arlecchino actualy had spies in Inazuma (the shrine maiden girl with bad attitude's quest + others), and so on.

When he said "show don't tell" I almost jumped out of my bed cheering cuz THANK YOU FINALLY SOMEONE ELSE GETS IT. Like honestly I personally don't mind the extended ass stories. I feel like I'm playing an anime sometimes. But what really breaks that feeling is when I have like 5-10 minutes of dialogue and then that stupid fade to black where they just HAVE A BLACK BACKGROUND WITH WHITE TEXT DESCRIBING WHAT THE CHARACTER(S) IS SEEING!! And we have examples in game where they have done Show dont Tell so so effing well. Like how you mentioned the scene after Traveller leaves the encounter with Shogun and there's the visual and gameplay effect that shows the Traveller feeling disoriented (and even Paimon's dialogue aids in this as she shows genuine concern for Traveller). There was also a few scenes in the recent Archipelago with Kazuha's story/island that I also felt really told the story thru dialogue *and* gameplay. I feel like both these approaches become so underutilized nowadays for some reason. But then in some of the Sumeru quests which to me arguably had some of the strongest actual lore backing with the whole Dharian/Khaenriah thing going on I feel like we could've had so many more Show don't Tell moments. There were so many moments where instead of it cutting to black and giving us text about the shared flashbacks of 500 yrs ago where they could've showed us in either a cutscene, some limited gameplay or even animated 2D scenes.. I feel like when they utilize Show don't Tell so so f*cking well but they just don't do it enough! And he is so right with the events being related to the lore. Not only is this is an issue with Albedo and the Dragonspine event, but anyone who wasn't around for the really early game not only missed Scaramouche's intro but also that huge lore bit within that event intro about the "stars and skies" being a lie. Only reason I know about that is because of people like Ashikaii. I also feel like people who missed out on the original archipelago (which I thankfully started playing in time to enjoy) missed out on a signature weapon for Klee but also on a part of the lore for the next year's archipelago event. And it makes me wonder if they do another one this summer if newer players will find themselves lost or confused with the return of this beloved event since they never got to experience the time-gated stories of the past 2 years.

the "show, don't tell" rule is so true. i hate the black screen with white text for this exact reason. yoimiya's second story quest made an improvement on that where they had a still image instead of a black screen twice but then there was one scene where they did the black screen and i was like "NOOOO YOU WERE JUST IMPROVING," but then after that one is when they used an image the second time instead of the black screen. i hope they stop doing the black screen and just have a still image in it's place instead. i wish the sumeru story had this when traveler was explaining everything that happened to them up to that point. i wanted to see everyone's faces and reactions to everything that happened to traveler but noooooooo they just had to make it a black screen.

[@justcallmekai1554]

I agree but I believe you can "show AND tell". Most media (specifically movies, TV shows, Games, and Visual Novels/Manga/comic books) do exactly this all the time. The problem with Genshin is that they will TELL you something in the most long drawn out uninteresting way possible sometimes like reading a dictionary (and thats assuming the info given is actually important and not some random npc quest☠️). You can tell things but need to undercut with visuals or at least have very good character dynamic and dialog. The black screen shit is atrocious. That could have been voice acted or just cut entirely if it felt like it would just repeat something you already know.

You don't feel like you need to become stronger for the next boss fight or threat so how do you build suspense in the story?

At the beginning it felt like you had to actually get stronger to also progress in the story. That's when I still found it fun.

It's painful and it's so sad that such a fun game is ruined by chore after chore after chore. Like where tf are the combat quests in this stupid game?

I got a character on a banner when I started playing and I can't even use her for weeks to months because her ascension materials are locked behind so many quests. It's annoying.

What annoys me to no end is the pacing of the main story. Like overall. We’re like, what? Halfway through the story region wise, and we’ve literally gotten SHIT ALL about celestia?? Like we’ve not had NOTHING- just name drops here and there? Like we’ve met the Fatui, we’ve me people literally from Khaenri'ah but no one from celestia?. I feel like they’re not gonna mention celestia when Fontaine comes around. Which I can see myself getting annoyed by. Also why they don’t voice world quests that have important bits of information? Don’t know. Literally the last Pari one had a bit of hydro archon info but I didn’t know cuz I skipped the whole quests dialogue lol. Found out the info only through KZbin xD

[@whitedragonzerureusu4480]

In Sumeru Aether/Lumine were also starting to get fed up with all the bs you just mentioned. No one really wants to help them find their sibling or seems to care, everyone is really self-centered and always asks for help and can't seem to fix their own problems by themselves. I remember some dialogue options you could pick that showed how annoyed they were and didn't want to help anymore. Nahida is the only character that actually tried to help the sibling on their quest so far. For Honkai Star Rail (I think it was a tweet from a developer or something. I found this out by someone commenting about it on another video i checked out a while ago) It was confirmed Aether/Lumine crashed into the star rail express after they finished their journey on teyvat and in the express you can find a wind glider in the ship which they decided to leave there. This next thing I'm going to say is just a guess on my part is but (and this might be a bit of a stretch), why would they not care about the wind glider and decide to give it away? Why did they not want to keep it? and I think they did it because they actually hate teyvat for trapping them and forcing them to help solve all their problems... I mean how would you feel if that happened to you? No one asking you how if you are ok and try to help you find your sibling. Loosing your ability to freely travel to whatever world you wanted. So even though the wind glider was a gift and something they could keep to remember teyvat and the 'friends' they made there. I think they probably didn't want to keep the wind glider because of what they went through... and thats why they just gave it away so casually. They want to forget teyvat and i doubt they would go back there again. if they kept the wind glider it would be something that will always make them remember all the bs they had to go through, when all they wanted to do was reunite with their sibling and do what they have been doing for god knows how long.

Like fr I came back to genshin after more than 1 year expecting there to be something interesting (I played since 1.0 and quit before inazuma, fyi). And I was pretty satisfied until the aranara quest. Like wtf sumeru is riddled with an insane number of long independent series of quests each with an insane number of filler text. Maybe they introduced some new mechanics to explore sumeru, such as the wind lyre but then again once you leave the specific region that item can be thrown into the trash can. Like the whole sumeru beside the main quests was so much filler quests and unnecessary desert that I ended up quitting genshin again

[@rinkairiozuki7245]

Honestly, i do agree with nearly everything he said. - Black screens should be considered Crime against Story telling. - You can skip 80% of dialog and still understand everything. - Aranara quest was Hideous. Did they really hoped me to read all that Alien language? C mon - Most Main story quests suffer from pacing. - Character Stories are SUPER Boring. You have lawyer, Tax officer, Dude who talks with rocks, Alchemy, Yae started good, later you find out you got on Writing competition or whatever, Eula has tragic story, but your quest is how to learn to dance. - Story based on characters always gonna end up like this, where they HAVE to shoehorn in some 5 star characters into the story. Honkai impact did it better since it's character based on story, not story based on characters. My Personal issues: - Combat is NOT that great when you think about it. All it does, it's focusing to much on elemental reactions. Which means, as long as you have certain elements, you see big numbers. I WANT FLASHY ULTIMATES. God coming down from the sky, Raiden raiding a dragon or some sh*t. When Raiden Shogun Boss came out, i thought "YES, finally we'll get a character which ACTUALLY FEELS LIKE 5 STAR" nah, all you get is tazer on a fishing stick. Crazily enough, That would be totally in Honkai impact 3rd, and it's like 5 year old, and they have Raiden Mei which rides a Dragon. Honkai Star rail have that, Why Genshin can't? On the same note, Ults with animations sucks. It's cool first 5 times, then... That's why Rosalya is one of the best characters in the game. Nearly none of the characters FEELS like 5 star. Newest character? Awful he does absolutely nothing. - Abyss is a dogsh*t I dont see how people can have fun with that. EVERYTHING is made just to waste your time. Is it hard? NO. Is there incentive to achieve best team for that fight? NO. Since you have to go through same 2 chambers again to to get to 3rd for whatever reason. WHY? It's baffling how that never got reworked. While Honkai impact Abyss got reworked like 10 times. And it is, more fun. - Why limit Serenita pot building? WHY? Let people go crazy at it, let them build whatever they want ffs + What this game does VERY WELL is Exploration. That's the main reason i still play it. And sometimes comes out character i like design of. i have 30k gems as a f2p still waiting for next character i'll like. I just like run around, get some farming, visit a pot or something.

about the gameplay there's something that i don't like in this game, because so far there's only the traveler that has an performance update on it's character (different element) while the other character stay same as you first met, so if the character is shit they stay shit, there's no alternate version like in other game, to add it worse there's almost no buff nor skill fixing on this game except zhongli lol Tbh it's not really that problematic IF the character itself never appear again in the story, but in fact they're still relevant and marketed until now, what the point of game as service if the character itself never get an update? and why barbara and fischl still looks like that when canonically we already 3 years in teyvat, did they even get older? and another thing is skin, for the company that has the best revenue out of mobile game, releasing 4 skins a year is horrendous (i'm not consider censorship as skin) , i don't think lack of resources and time is an excuse anymore

I think I agree on 99% of the point of whats spoken in here. To this day I still play Genshin and while the Lore (the shit that you need to dig to find out) is quite amazing I do agree that dialogue is a chore and just need to show MORE of what they are trying to tell. Like the moon sisters lore, archon war and the Primordial one lore all of it is told through LARGE books or infinite amount of text scattered all around. While I am the crazy one who does enjoy this type of gameplay style I am pretty sure many others do NOT. I do not think the story of the game itself is garbage however only the way it is presented can be quite a hassle or a pain to read. I do really miss your videos on Genshin on youtube, your reactions through multiple story quest and amazing moments. But I also understand that not only you (many other content creators) because you might have something you wish to change in the game, you are seen as the "bad and annoying" person who only talks bad about a game that you loved and its sad and ridiculous indeed. While having a greedy company who doesnt really focus on QOL changes, you also have a community who acts like the game is God and bend to it's will.

paimon is super easy to improve. instead of having her explain everything on the spot there could be an option in the paimon menu to talk to paimon (like one might do in the tea pot) and in the dialog options you could have options to ask questions about what was just discuss. frankly I've sat through professor paimon's lectures and not remembered what i was supposed to do 5 min later. it would also help with quests in general. there could be an 'ask paimon' button on quest items that explained the objective better because some of these objectives are just like "got there (500m)" and i get there and it's like, find it and im like "what's it??"

Shit pacing permeates everything in Genshin Impact, from the dialogue (Paimon), to the story (filler), to the combat (a button-mashing slog without the stats, which is not something a whale or min-max artifact grinder would notice), to the exploration (the constant loading time when switching to an element that isn't in the party, but need to use to interact with something in the world, then switch back), to the pull income (anniversary, 'nuff said).

[@crewmatewillthrowthesehand7600]

I feel like more than the main archon quests, the quest with Dainslef was the best. Good back story, tasks actually have to do with combat at every stage and has a satisfying big boss at the end. But if u level ur characters and artifacts too much, its not so satisfying anymore cos the abyss heralds and lectors can be thanos snapped.

[@hazamax2139]

I'm falling off really bad dude. I hate that feeling of "ok I have to farm mora and materials for the upcoming ascension for my established team since months before because god knows I ain't got materials for switching anyone." And I find it so weird that the problem... is the open world. I don't mind leylines or ascension/artifact grinds but GOD DAMN why do I need 60 fucking random flowers to ascend? It feels so AWFUL to know I have to run those routes just to grab shit every couple of days. Monster drops? Well, let's do a trip around the world for them. It genuinenly overwhelms me. HSR is made by the same company and it baffles me. I have 2 different teams on my current lvl cap, there's no need for random garbage that respawns after two days. I already pre farmed ascension materials for 1 team and almost all for the second. Monster drops are so abundant it never feels tedious when I suddenly need some. I want to enjoy genshin for the world I've heard on Necrit's video but it feels so bad when during MSQ I'm actively spamming space bar and wishing for a skip button. Conversation just drag on and on and on and on. It's a problem I feel on Star Rail too but... well, there's no Paimon there at the very least.

[@SeySenpai]

tbh in gneshin (when i actually played it a lot) i would just have the characters speak the firsts sentence or two at a time and skip the rest because thats really all you need

[@Ajax704]

LMFAO 🤣🤣 Paimon destroying 90% of the beautiful moments in the story also i just really hate fillers in this game bc it's so hard to Skip

[@amesaki3258]

god i got into meta from zajeff and i saw how interesting it could be, and how you dont event need to use the best of the best characters for team to be meta. But i saw so many people having only bad experience with just other players forcing some random meta characters into their teams and shiting all over them. Imagie if people would acknowledge that players just want to have fun in games.

Why Pom Pom is better than Paimon: 1. He has drip. 2. He wants to join because he wants to protect his passengers. 3. He made Welt shit bricks when Pom pom is pissed. 4. Pom pom is probably a dps preservation character is he was a playable. 5. Has beautiful eyes. 6. Was probably a creation of Akivili. 7. Voiced by Tectone

I literally can't see any sense in Genshin's plot cuz our mission find twin, but when we found twin, twin saying - go explore regions bruh. Hey... Wait. Why don't you just tell me what the hell wrong with this world? Why you want destroy all gods in teyvat? I'am your Bro/Sis. We travelled more than 500 years, i will be on your side. Okay bro/sis, let's go with me in this portal, i will say you everything i know, and we will do everything together. But genshin's scriptwriter says - oh, player will meet twin, but even if twin will saying "This man in front of you is my enemy" MC will continue exploring some secrets with him. This is true power of family. Bravo.

[@saimyintmyat9373]

Archons once genocide whole ancient kingdom due to being too advanced that might attract new outer enemies to invade. Orders were done by real gods from celestial. Real Gods are afraid of outer enemies in the past big wars so they wanna make Teyvat old ancient as much as they can.

i found it hilarious how they talked about inazuma. i can find hundreds of things to critizise, but the tax quests and the first 2h of inazuma were among my fav things in the game. i love immersion and to get stuck doing stupid things, being annoyed, being sent from here to there GAVE exactly the feeling of living in a dictatorship - authoritarian regime and thats what inazuma should represent. i loved how my movement was limited and i didnt get out, having to bribe or slowly trick to get out. it rlly got me into the mood of being in a hostile / politically idiotic environment so it added a lot to immersion, which is my main focus

Genshin's story would be 50% better if they killed Paimon and cut down the sidequest dialogue by 80%. The fluff is what really ruins things

That is just why i love old mmo games. Nothing is voice acted. You can BLITZ through content if you want to get somewhere. Quests can be nuanced IF you want to know the story. You can skip EVERYTHING by the click of a button. I play games to PLAY it. Not to sit there watch something insignificant for 4 hours.

you have SOME good points, but in terms of the sumeru story youre just straight up wrong, objectively wrong, the sumeru storyline was peak genshin story
