@@Mario123007 at around 2013 RWBY was released, 3years later at Oct 2016 Hi3 was released which was a month before FFXV.

Which was why I said it "copied RWBY art style" because if it follow Japanese RPG style it would look not like Hi3.

[@nivequer]

Genshin's cutscenes are terrible, this animation in some aspects, is a way better than the game, fluidity, character expressions, battle effects, even when yelan uses her ult.

[@HerrscherofSimp3164]

@@nivequer Actually, in all fairness, Genshin's cinematics are excellent (the "movie" ones, like Scaramoche battle, or Shenhe against Osial's wife), the fluidity and movement are beautiful, and in game animation is pretty good too (atacks, Combat, open world animations) Besides, we don't know how long it took to create this animation we are watching now, and how expensive it was, and let's be honest here, every game has to reduce costs even AAA (Genshin is not a AAA, i know). My point is, everything demands a cost, call it time or Money, or both. Even lifting and eyebrow demands time and money, that's why MOST games cannot afford to be a movie everytime, and even if they could that would be too demanding for the devices (specially mobile) to run. In terms of expressions you are right (mostly), but consider that the expressions of this video have been greatly influenced by western's style, and Genshin is not the firts game to have no lips sync animation.

I think everyone at this point on the internet at least has seen some of the show's clips, characters, fan arts, or worse, controversy. It's a damn shame how RWBY immediately shambles after Monty's passing, we all knew it'll happen, but we didn't expect it'd be so soon. If only he was still around, you bet he would love Genshin and would do everything in his power to collab. He was the type of guy that genuinely loved his job and in turn people loved him a lot. On a side note, now that Amazing Digital Circus is quite popular, I think he would enjoy it too. Since ADC and RWBY shares too many similarities, I'm feeling a little bit déjà vu.
