      honestly, if Hoyo has to exploit gamblers and their need to waste money and whales who'd spend a fortune to collect and raise their favorite character just so us f2p people can play a decent game, it's an evil that gets balanced out by the good things it brings@@Sammysapphira

      No way their own animators are underpaid for their work there. Also also, HoYo is constantly developing their own tools to help make their animations easier to produce and their content pipeline faster to dish out.
      If you want to blame any issues at their workplace, it'd be overworking, but that is the norm in China. It does seem like HoYo's offices are rather comfy however.

    This has such a indie youtube animation energy to it and I love every single detail about it, I can see they did research and actually know what most people want from 3d animations recently, full of energy and personality in every single frame while being smooth and expressive all at the same time, this specific scene shows quickly but well both sides, for Comic Relief characters/moments to deliver the message extremely well and a quick serious moment with very small subtle body language movements showing the personality of the character represented on how they behave.
    I'm so happy that 3D animations are going to this side and i'm here for it.

    Like the part where the scissors get thrown at Nekomata was fine. Anby pulling her away was fine. But when Nekomata says "yeowsers, I thought that was going to take my nose off".

      The ZZZ team is at least having more creative freedom when it comes to character design.
      I think that Mihoyo's other games (Genshin mainly) lose a lot of potential in this, since they present different races to us in the game universe (for exemplo, in Genshin we have Tengu, Oni, etc), but all the models are always ordinary humans with some extra parts just to make it look like they are a different race.
      For a fictional universe, I think it's a lot of lost potential.

    This may be unpopular, but there's such a thing as being overly animated. Some the movements don't sell the idea that the characters have weight behind them, and when they do that weight feels inconsistent.

      The hype over the “smooth” animation reminds me of the time when people were going crazy over 60 FPS anime videos, when in actuality the conversion to 60 FPS ruined the scenes and the “smoothness” was just headache inducing. How many of these people actually understand animation?
      Hopefully since most of the ZZZ videos out now are promotional, the devs might just be showing off and the game’s animated scenes are more cohesive, cause honestly if every little small thing like a character stretching is going to be that overly animated, it’s going to be so distracting and overloading.

      Yeah. “Smooth” animation does not work for me if it’s that smooth consistently.
      I say that certain scenes where you are trying to emphasize an attack or singular action, in conjunction with Impact Frames, do really well in higher animations, as it draws the focus of what is going on an emphasizes the importance of the action, while not taking away from the general feel of the rest of the animation.

      @ChixiaWW they are. Just because you don't have self controle doesn't means that not every one has no self control.
      It's literally f2p. It's up to you to spend money.
      Get some self control.
