3:26 it doesn’t matter where you place the crystal fly trap. No matter where you place it, it will gather 15 crystal fly cores, even if it’s in a place with no crystalflies. Which is why some people (me included) placed it in front of katheryne for convenience :)
I like to place my crystal fly trap in mondstadt on the beach where two electro crystals sit in the water. It reminds me to place my parametric transformer too, since they're both once a week but the trap actually stays on the map
You should create a little questionnaire of these questions and post it for your RUclips followers to answer. That will increase your sample size significantly. You can include questions like: - When was the last time you played genshin? - What AR are you currently? - Are you f2p or a spender? First 2 so you can have information on if they are current players and how much they play, and last question mainly because I feel it would be interesting to know. Is there a trend between the amount of money people spend and their enjoyment of the game? I think that'd be interesting to see 🤔 Then do a follow up video with the summary of the results from the survey. I'd personally definitely watch that!
awesome idea, and finding out what they play on can impact results too. As a mobile player (with controller) I'm blown away at how such a massive elaborate game can be played on mobile compared to anything else that had been available before, but I can see how for pc players, compared to other games they have access to, it might not seem quite as impressive? brilliant idea about asking last time they played. I think finding out when they started playing is good too. I started 3.4 and I was loving the game so much, but I had the benefit of a TON of exploration/quests rather than slow drip over time and that made the story more impactful too - now I'm caught up on everything and it doesn't feel as magical BUT I purposefully have half the exploration loot left to collect so I can go back to locations for nostalgia and enjoy the music lol. there is SO MUCH content for new players that it significantly impacts how the game is viewed. I might feel as jaded as veterans with nothing left to do, but I still have a bunch left so I'm enjoying it still
@trashbuilds8351 Ohh a very interesting perspective indeed! I started playing in 2022 and still love this game. Content can get a little dry right at the end of a region but that's to be expected. Typically during those times I just chose a character I haven't built yet and do that until the next region is released. My favourite part of the game is definitely the exploration as I have 100% on the entire map (including the additional areas like Enknomiya, Chasm underground, ect.) There may be patches I find a little boring at times, but overall I really love this game!
@@kirsty735 Great job exploring everything! I love treasure hunting lol Yes great idea about building the shelf sitters ha. Now that I have strong teams, I like trying to build some of the others just for fun, I even made an alt account just to pull ones I don't really want on my main so i never feel like I'm missing out on trying every character for free!
@@trashbuilds8351 My boyfriend plays genshin and has since it's release. He's a whale player so has practically every character, a bunch of constellations, and 5 star weapons. I have his log in information as I do exploration on his account too so I get to use all sorts of different characters I don't have on my main. I also love whenever the combat events give you trial characters because it's so fun using characters I wpidont actively choose to spend my primos on.
It's same with every Gatcha lol I'm playing Wuwa now and there is so little men I'm in pain. I'm actually considering wishing for 5* female characters 😅
My native language is Spanish and I have to say that you trying to understand and speak Spanish in this video was so funny but it wasn't thaaaaaat bad Btw bno is a way to write bueno (fine, good) but shorter
as a spanish speaker person i think the part where you try to do the interview in spanish was hilarious, most of the questions/things you translated were okay! quest= mision scale= escala feature= mecanica
@@terlinator It's an abbreviation for "bueno" meaning "good", "okay" (informal way of telling someone to keep talking, or they accepting something, it's used in a lot of contexts, but telling that to someone non native is wild, spanish is hard already, abbreviations are a nightmare)
1.2 player. Natlan art direction is pretty different, not my taste but I guess it's a nice experiment and change of pace. I hope they move back to their previous art style for next region.
1.6 player. Joined for Kaeya and because Genshin was described as, "BOTW but anime" and I was like, "SAY NO MORE", stayed for those same reasons but also the story, music, exploration, lore, and Papitano's decaying gluteus maximus
I’ve played since 1.4 without breaks. Still like the game but it’s more because of the past than the current game. Natlan lore and quests are ok. Not that keen on the motorbike stuff but I can live with it. Mostly I’m really disappointed with the “let’s pretty much stop releasing male characters” thing Hoyo has decided to do. Like “We don’t actually give a toss anymore about a wider playerbase, just the waifu collectors.”
@@xlightninghawk6360 you mean Kinich? The only male 5star they released on all of 2024? And Ororon? Yes, that is indeed very generous… Hoyo keeps throwing in some random 4star male characters to make people complain less.
I mean this is the same company that capitulated to backlash regarding male Dreamseeker in Honkai Impact if you're seriously wanting much more variety FGO's gender split is much better than Genshin's imo, but that might just be as a result of it having far more characters than Genshin the biggest hurdle for it is no EN dub, and it's gacha
13:23 the emotes are arranged by the patch they are released on. They usually feature characters that were featured in the banners/story/events from the previous patch.
16:59 (Rough translation, from someone in the same situation as Java) "It seems like a nation important to the lore of Genshin, and the quests I did there most recently felt epic."
Improved translation from a Spaniard: "that it's going to be an important nation for Genshin lore, and that until now it's the one that has the most epic quests" (as in quantity of epic quests)
Understandable and same. I stopped enjoying the game even earlier because the devs kept ignoring feedback. If you happen to look for something similar, give Wuthering Waves a shot. 2.0 just dropped and it's been a long time since I had that much fun 😂
@@Rika-sensei absolutely, it's like leaving from a toxic relationship 😂 I know that it's a meme at this point, but devs honestly listen so much to feedback from its audience that it almost feels like a community project at times, literally everything I've requested in surveys got added later on so far.
for real im even wondering now how mang ladies are working in Gacha companies right now. it seems like they’re never asked if they want male characters made. even the new 2025 line up of Genshin Impact only has 1 male. are they kidding?
As someone whos learning spanish still seeing you bumble through that interaction while i was yelling at the screen really gave me confidence in my own speaking skills. Thanks!
I’ve been playing Genshin since the 1.4-1.5 around there and still play it here and there. I mainly only play it for the Lore and the characters because I adore each and every character so much. I enjoy exploring the map as well cuz the scenery is beautiful!
Playing since 1.5 and I still love the game! As long as you stay off most social platforms, there’s not much drama. I have been playing daily and I don’t think I’ll stop until the archon quest is over
Ye, same, I enjoy what I always enjoyed about the game and that will never change, i still freaking love it a lot. I do have some complaints about the gacha since i am salty from losing, but that's just a little inconvenience, i have played many gacha games before and i got used at how things work, i don't say this gacha has to remain the same and as bad as it's, but what i am saying, is that personally, it doesn't affect my playing experience and how enjoyable the game is.....now on the other hand, the drama was kinda killing it for me so i stopped staying on social media(most of it anyway)
I mean most genshin drama is just overblown and nitpicking which is a good thing for a game this size that the biggest drama is people asking for more stuff (chara/rewards/endgame).
Thank you for still posting Genshin, I've been active watching genshin content for months, aside from reaction content and twitch streaming content, there's not much content like yours nowadays (maybe theres a few others) but its nice we get recent content and revolves Natlan. Keep up the great work. ❤
As a native portuguese speaker, i laughed so hard when you tried to speak spanish, but it was so nice to see you trying w/o a translator. Also, Merry Christmas Java! Thanks for making my year so much nicer with your videos
i think it's true that there is some relation with keeping in touch with online discourse and the enjoyment of the game! i might be a very good example of this-- i quit genshin for an entire 2 years because ive seen so much wrong with the game which was brought to my attention /because/ of online discourse. after my 2 year break from genshin and the community, my gripes with the game have mellowed down and ive become less aggressive when it comes to things i didnt like. instead, i focused on what i liked, and enjoy it in that way (like exploring, building characters, etc) and the game just feels so much better that way.
I deleted all social media except youtube because of this. People from both sides are way too aggressive and defending their point like Hoyo pays them. I still get into heated arguments once in a while but it's decreasing slowly. They were right. It is the damn phone.
i think the community is primed to be so aggressive and parasocial because of a few things that kind of correlate with each other. i love the game to bits, but man is the game pretty shallow for the most part. there are so many better options out there for pretty much anything besides the lore (which i’ll get to later), the art and the character designs. narratives, character writing, general storytelling, etc. gacha by itself is already a superficial concept, and the game’s presentation, or rather, lack thereof, of its other aspects make that factor worse in effect, in my opinion. this, i feel is the reason why most people quit the game. this superficiality reflects in most of the social media content made of this game as well. almost nothing creative or artistic or transformative is ever really made in the community besides the cosplays, lore breakdowns and hoyofair blowing away my expectations every year. take that away, and it’s mostly just slop or obligatory like character guides. there is so much potential to be found within and outside the game, but that’s a topic for another day. it’s common occurrence that currently active and social media active genshin players often lose out on irl friends they introduced genshin to or the friends that introduced them to genshin, or both, due to reasons i’ve already listed out above. what makes more people lose interest or become jaded of this game even further is when online discourse gets so extreme it becomes overwhelming for most people. this, in my opinion is largely due to how gambling culture, in the pursuit of always wanting more and more and overall loneliness mix together. ironically, in the pursuit of closeness and intimacy the exact opposite happens as they push each other away with more extreme discourse on mostly irrelevant topics in the grand scheme of things. all while simultaneously attaching their happiness to something they loathe. this pushes newcomers away even further, further fueling what i’ll coin as gambler’s loneliness, even further. yes, i am making the age-old argument that genshin players are lonely. it’s cliché, but really, it’s hard to argue its impact (no pun intended). and as for those who don’t suffer from said gambler’s loneliness, well, they aren’t apart of those heated and extreme discourses in the first place. i mean, why put yourself through hell for company when you’ve already got company right here? but in the first place, it’s hard for a lot of people to form a good connection with people through genshin for how superficial it is (my opinion, of course). and the things that aren’t superficial, they’re hard to get into. which leads me to genshin’s lore, as well as cosplay culture. the lore community is always best regardless of what piece of media it is about. it creates productive discourse, solving puzzles and problems as a community that is hard to find anywhere else. but unfortunately, most of the very important lore in this game is dug through books you’re never incentivized to read in-game, and etymological references and analysis no casual would dare to even try to dissect. hell, the most important bit of lore in the game is in a book all the way down in enkanomiya. why would a casual player end up reading the book if they’re never told to? the game puts so much lore emphasis in books and etymology as if declining literary rates aren’t a problem. this creates this huge divide between the casual and the intermediate fanbases, as the barrier to entry to understand the lore is frankly very uncertain, scary, and sometimes, downright confusing if you go on with the wrong mindset and with the wrong tools. just look at tiktok and pretty much any other short-form content spreading headcannons and misinformation regarding lore and characters as truth and people just eating all that up. to put it simply, understanding lore takes effort. cosplay culture also goes in that category too. but i have a feeling that gacha culture has sort of rid many people away from effort that doesn’t tie in with gacha pulls (i’ve personally felt a sliver of this myself) when in reality, effort exerted as a community garners the best engagement and elevates said community to a new level, as stated before with communities of FNAF and gravity falls being more notable examples. with all this in mind, it’s no wonder the community can easily feel so recycled, tired, toxic, or repetitive. before i conclude, i’d like to say that it’s completely okay if you enjoy the story even if i say it feels very superficial, that is just my personal opinion and hypothesis as a root for why i think the community feels horrible to be in, as i have observed this sort of phenomenon in other pieces of media before. i’m frankly a lore enjoyer, and that’s why i keep playing the game. you may have your own reasons, and that’s completely fine. if i were to give any advice on how to enjoy things (i think as we grow older, we kind of forget how to), a real, physical community in reality is key. whether that be for genshin or for something else to make you playing genshin causally on your own fun again, is up to you. it’s your own player experience after all. if you’ve read this far, i commend you for it. i’m happy somebody took time out of their day to read my batch of words in particular. thank you for reading, here’s to a good day, evening or night ❤❤.
@@zhrzhnIdk I prefer playing alone all the time, so Im not lonely, but I enjoy Genshin content. Many fans are just so goddam negative, mean, and/or creepy that it's hard to avoid. I dont disagree, but I also think something about the character collection gameplay breeds animosity.
@@zhrzhn thankfully ive made strong enough relationships prior getting into genshin so loneliness isnt rlly a problem regardless of when my friends play it or not, but cant lie i still do wish i had friends who actually like playing the game bc any time i try to make friends w genshin fans they're actually very miserable about it and obviously want to quit but they just choose not to, likely for a variety of reasons including the ones u mentioned. that, or they've already quit the game long ago but still choose to stay bitter and trash talk about it (who are they, tectone???) genshin definitely isn't the best game out there, it has many flaws that warrant criticism but at the end of the day, its still just a game i choose to play to have fun and i dont want anyone's negativity to take that away from me. real life is already as daunting as it is... i hope people realize that its not worth it sticking to something that makes them unhappy and just focus on what they actually enjoy. maybe the community wouldn't be as miserable yknow?
2:20 AAAAAAAA that’s littelary the best way to farm cristal flies afk. It’s a gadget you get from either Fontaine or sumaru reputation. For 30 white iron ore you get like 15 Cristal fly gem thingies in a week. Please start using it
I am a native Spanish speaker currently in a major in Translation. Yeah, the interview was hilarious! Nice job deciphering everything! And it's pretty cool to see how you figure out how to write your message soundly off the bat with what little you know about the language :> ( 18:58 that was HILARIOUS tho) Also quite the variety of Genshin players interviewed for sure
13:47 if u want to get a more accurate sample u actually only need ~30 players to survey! its still a lot but definitely not millions lol. itll give you a somewhat accurate representation of how most people feel about the game.
seeing a lot of people wording it like "people who don't engage in discussions about the game enjoy it more" while i think it's more accurate to say that people who look at the media they consume with a critical view might have a different experience with it. someone who plays for endgame content is gonna be happy as long as strong characters get released and a variety of endgame content is available, while someone who likes exploring the lore and its real world connections has a lot more bases to be disappointed on. one of those is more likely to engage with the community (and thus, discourse) than the other
It can definitely be anything. Different people have different perspectives, it's impossible to pinpoint a general statement about what is right and what is wrong. That is why for a game as big as genshin, statistics matter the most. And those statistics have shown year after year that it is retaining its strong dominance as a live service game.
@noelledefendsquad I'm AR 56 and I engage a lot with the community. The lore and exploration are part of why I play, and I loved Natlan's lore, map and exploration (except the cliffs of Ochkanatlan, those can burn). Meanwhile most of the people I see complaining are either extremely media-active players who joined in like 3.x when Sumeru was released or AR 60s experiencing massive burnout and blaming Natlan for singlehandedly causing it. I'm not going to sit here and say that my point of view is the only valid one, there are valid criticisms to be made of Genshin such as the skin color issue which was entirely a design decision or the fact that Natlan characters don't work outside Natlan which is based on phlogiston only existing on Natlan, which is also a design choice. But I have also seen people complain about the grind aspect when they didn't complain until 5.x, or claiming that Natlan story is bad because it's not as grand as Fontaine or Sumeru or because of the power of friendship which is literally everywhere in Genshin, I've seen others say that Mavuika's bike (or Mavuika in general) is a game-breaking issue and should be removed and that Natlan's stakes (where ~2000 die in the war) weren't as high as in Fontaine (where ~35 die), I've seen people claim that around 70% of Natlan's designs and tropes don't fit Natlan (or rather, their opinions of what Natlan should be), I've seen demands to change Mavuika's outfit only for mods that do it to be shunned and criticized because they didn't look that good in 3D... All in all, I think I can classify those complaints in 4 categories: 1. Legitimate complaints (i.e. Natlanese are whitewashed, phlogiston mechanics should apply everywhere after 5.3 AQ, powercreep is getting concerning...) 2. Matters of taste (Natlan AQ wasn't that grand, I didn't feel the fear of the characters, Mavuika/bike design is bad...) 3. Memetic complaints/copypastas (there are no brown characters in Genshin, Mavuika and her bike ruined my immersion, Natlan stakes weren't high enough because war is war and people die in war but no main characters died...) 4. Jaded veterans venting out on Natlan (the voice actor issue has gotten too bad [note: it's not MiHoYo's fault], grinding is too time-consuming and not rewarding at all [despite it always having been like that], devs don't listen to the players [idem]...)
I'm also going to add that people aren't acting like that around Genshin alone, but it's becoming a trend to criticize literally everything that doesn't cater to one's taste (which should be category 5: unreasonable whining) and try to "convert" people into your hatred. Much like back in the mainstream metalhead era when people were throwing hate on each other's preferred metal music flavor, but without so much as a flavor you like. People who don't play ToF, don't play WuWa, don't play HSR, play Genshin but deeply hate Genshin and will try their hardest to make you hate it. The other day, I argued with someone about Mavuika's bike, which he maintained didn't fit in Natlan because it's not suppossed to have modern tech. To which I replied that the devs added modern tech as a stylistic choice, and thus by default it is suppossed to have it. He responded that Natlan is a representation of pre-colonial Africa and pre-columbine America, which I countered by arguing that it's a representation of Africa, America, the Pacific Islands and Oceania after they were colonized, i.e. a mix of modernity and tradition. After which he told me that he wished to see me wither until I don't even have the strength or willpower to hang myself, and that I should slit my throat. That's the kind of haters you meet on Genshin communities online. After spending time on those communities, I don't hate Genshin, I hate the haters.
@ishzarkklyon9590 1) metalheads hating on other bands bc their music is too soft is not the same as hating something based on actual criticisms 2) was this on tiktok bc i hate people there who criticise the bike bc they straight up do not know shit about the game and never talk about actual issues. i have a problem too with bike-haters, not bc i like the bike, but bc they genuinely are not intelligent enough to get that the arguments they use are BS, in turn making all actual criticism look like baseless hating
@noelledefendsquad 1) metalheads hating on other people because they like anything other than the genre they like is the same as hating on other people because they still like a game you hate. 2) it was in the official Discord channel, but someone on reddit told me Natlan haters wished she and her pet get raped
As some who has an even more limited knowledge of Spanish, your Spanish portion of this video was the highlight of these interviews for sure. And because you didn't ask me, I shall also answer your questions... bc I want to! :3 1) Fave character: Kazuha (who, btw, is not my profile pic) 2) Fave Archon Quest: Prob Fontaine... but I do have a soft spot for Sumeru bc Nahida is my favorite Archon. 3) Opinion on Natlan: Superb OST, the map expansion area has been my favorite so far, Mavuika is pretty awesome as a character even tho I'm not crazy about her design. Also, tangentially related to Natlan, I actually really liked Paimon in the main story quest this time around... I felt like her tangible sadness and desperation added more to the atmosphere of the story than just being a floating exposition fairy. 4) Game on a scale of 1-10: 8.5... is that being too generous? Maybe... but in spite of all of its flaws, I freaking love this game. I haven't stopped playing once since I started in 2022 and I don't intend to until "Genshin II". xD 5) One feature I'd like: More. Husbandos. PLZ!! Why does ZZZ and Star Rail get all the hot tall male models and Genshin only gets female characters (not that those female characters aren't cool -- I love our Genshin ladies!! -- but the ratio is just so glaringly apparent)! 6) Interact with Genshin stuff online: Sometimes. I use Twitter, I'm a part of a couple of Discord communities, and have IRL friends who I like to share funny Genshin memes and fanart with. 7) Fave thing about Raiden: I still think she is meta (for my account at least) and I have to thank her for caring my teams early game as she was my very first 5 star unit. She is one of the few characters that I can reliably depend on to always help me clear content. I will pose for my close up now, Charolette. 😉 Just kidding. This was fun and I hope we see more in the coming year! Happy holidays!
What hot male models in ZZZ???? The only one around is Lighter because one is a robot, the other two are a furry and the other dude died and became a boss with a motorcycle. ZZZ is just 1 single lone dude.
@@bluepototo7671 I can concede that ZZZ is also in need of more male representation but Lighter is doing a spectacular job carrying the "hotness factor" for the entire cast -- there hasn't been another that could hold a candle. ;)
13:09 they're all based on patches! we get new packs every patch (emotes related to the patch before) so they all include characters from said patch's main story/event!
Really fun video! I love the part where you spoke Spanish. As for the core theme of the video, I don't think the burnt out players who log in only to do dailies for 10 minutes then leave are the easiest to catch, unfortunately.
I find ppl stating that they "stay off social media" and find the game more enjoyable. While I'm sure that does affect ones enjoyment of the game, I think the core problems of Genshins game will eventually get to you. Idk if these types are ignoring the issues bc of online discourse or not. I played consistently for 3 years and dropped the game entirely for other alternatives. The game has many bright spots but a lot of sour spots that added up to a not so enjoyable experience
Its more enjoyable to ignore the daily grind. The game feels so much more fresh after quitting the endless grind & only coming back for new story, world quests and exploration. To me, despite the many flaws, the world still remains interesting and compelling enough to draw me in every time.
@Aravestia that's a nice way to look at it but a good chunk of ppl who play like to grind and like for the grind to be enjoyable. On top of that when other games have issues with grind the devs address them. Sadly Hoyo often does not
yup, i never cared about the hate before, but the issues shinned in natlan, lack of representation, boring famale chars and lack of males got to me hard, i have nohing to wish for so no motivation to play
Same goes for me, I dont engage with the community, I was playing since launch. The most egregious decision for me was natlan characters being nerfed outside of natlan. I get that they are from that region, but was force obsolescence really necessary? Compared to fontaine, the pneuma/ousia mechanic was minimal that it barely changed the fontaine characters outside of their region. Not to mention, I did not like the story direction for Natlan and thats coming from the Peak Fontaine we experienced last year.
I personally enjoyed natlan in 5.1 I thought it was a good direction. But after I got nahida I kinda just left the game cuz I was tired of the grinding system for artifacts. And having restrictions on certain days didn’t help. So even if I enjoyed other aspects I didn’t like the fact it felt like a chore
When I first started about 2 months ago when it dropped on Xbox, definitely. I was enjoying it so much. Sumeru felt a tad bit long but was good, and Fontaine showed me why I absolutely love the game. Natlan was very good too.
13:11 Theyre ordered after the patches. If the characters dont fit together in it then its most likely becausw of being a new character and from an event in that patch, for example, the simulanka event has characters that dont fit together at all, yet there are still emotes for that patch eith those characters :)
Yeah, I play it daily. Im currently working on 100% all the regions, done with Natlan, Liyue and Mondstadt, and having a blast checking off every chest puzzle and icon on the interactive online map. I also still enjoy pulling new meta characters (saved enough primo to recently get Neuvilette and am also getting Mavuika and Citlali in a few days) and building them to make new teams to play around. The game is fun! I guess once Ive done all the world quests and 100% every single zone, I wont have much to do outside of patch day every month and a half… but thats ok too.
I saw so much negativity on social media regarding genshin, so I stopped reading those types of posts and just made the game enjoyable for myself. I love exploring, building characters, and coming up with ways that the story can progress. I never stopped enjoying genshin in my two years of playing it. I only pull for characters i like and enjoy playing, and the game never stops being fun. I just like playing with my favourite characters and friends ✨️🎀
@nekomi_kiyxi exactly!! in some cases when I see some people say they liked the game better when they started, I think it was because they still hadn't interacted with the toxic part of the community!!!
Even hoyolab isn't spared from negativity. I only use it for the login bonuses and the game profiles, but it's still usually the first thing I see whenever I open the app.
Patch one player and never stopped enjoying playing genshin daily. But also im old. My nostalgia kick comes from the ps2/late 90s era where games were hard to aquire and space on device was beyond limited. so you bled the game absolutely dry making your own fun along the way . A lot of the actual player base and not just the online andies are casual players they log in once or twice a week do somethings and log off as they got other things in life going on .
As someone in the process of learning Spanish, I was actively using the interaction as an opportunity to learn more vocabulary! Thank you for boosting my Spanish knowledge JavaTheCup!
yep, i've played this game since 2years ago, and l'm still loving it. i like the world in game, i like the characters or even the npcs, and i like the lore of the game.
I just came back from 4 month break and i enjoy the game. I've played through all the archon quesgs already and planning on doing Ochkanatlan quest soon. I think it is important to just take a break when game starts to feel like a chore. Don't give in to fomo. If you don't enjoy the game, take a break
Probably the case, I take a break on sumeru dessert because it actually feels like a chore, come back on fontaine release and havent stop loving the game.
Well, it's like trying to cure symptoms rather than addressing the actual problems. Are people not allowed to criticise anything nowadays without being called toxic? Some issues people complain about are pretty much valid. If I take a break (I did during 5.2), I doubt the problems Genshin obviously has will just magically disappear. I get it, that some people are excessively harsh with their words, but let's not pretend the game is ideal.
@@victoriary4371 I never pretended it was idea nor i am defending its flaws. I've been playing since around 2.0 and i've long accepted that some stuff is never going to be changed. I still fill in end of the patch survey but i don't expect it to help either. Engaging in social media discourse will just create more toxicity most of the times. I return to play expecting to see the flaws, but also all the stuff i like. When i'm tired, i go for a break again.
Favorite Character: Itto Favorite AQ: Sumeru Thoughts on Natlan: fun to explore, part 4 was breathtaking Score: 7 Wanted Feature: like the 1st guy, a way to re-view past events. They could make it in-lore by having Mondstadt be a ballad from Venti/others, Liyue from the Tea Storyteller, Inazuma: Sakura/Ley Line stuff, Sumeru: Nahida accessing Irminusul (that one's a bit of a stretch), Fontaine: A play, Natlan: not sure, but then again we haven't really had a Natlan event yet Online community: small discord and Reddit (and watching you guys, obviously) Raiden: her story quests were interesting with her learning more about humanity
Favourite character : Furina Favourite Archon quest : Fontaine, tho im liking Natlan a lot right now About Natlan : I really like it for now, its really pretty and has cool mechanics and areas. Scaling : Maybe 9 ? I'm enjoying myself Added feature wish : i guess ill agree with the first player, and the resin overflow stuff too Discourse interaction : i mean if youtube counts yes, otherwise, no About the raiden : she sent Jean TWICE on two different banners before getting home, but she did get home so it says what i think about her i believe
Hi Java! Thank you for making this video. This showed that no matter what people say, the online community is still one of the smallest part in Genshin. Not everyone online and not everyone feels the need to engage online to talk about what they like about Genshin. This warms my heart.
Of course. The ones that complain are the same idiots that rush the game, care about meta, etc. It's the same with every single patch they never learn. Meanwhile, the normal players just enjoy the game. Their main problem with the game is that there's too much content
I come back to Genshin and this channel every few months, Ive been watching for YEARS but you know, as life returned to normal after the pandemic I don't have enough time to play a lot of genshin, hearing the Korea university rock dragon joke just brought me back to those good times.
I liked genshin but not as much anymore coz it took alot of time to play(i have a busy schedule) and it started feeling like a chore. Natlan was more of like the straw that broke the camel's back coz....well, several reasons. But otherwise, the game was so much fun when i started and i enjoyed a lot of it. Didn't engage in much online discourse though. I only have my own opinions. Otherwise, your videos are always a treat.
Agree Natlan is just the same old long stories and hidden chests. No new gameplay or goal except exploration. I’d rather have a fun experience playing an fps match or a sport game with multiplayer than run around in a game and use resin
@@Zarya. That just mean it's not your kind of game, since what you described is the point of Genshin, exploration, stories, quest and some new mechanics like nights souls...
@@TheDimaria93yeah the point of genshin is to be an exploration game with lore but that shouldn’t be the only thing it has. It should have other things in it too because it’s a live service game.
@Bunxana Not every live service are the same when you play CoD warzone, you don't expect a story, quest and exploration because it's an fps the same can be said about Genshin since it's an RPG not a pvp game, it's causal game.
Bro there are countless ppl playing the game and every one wants different things. Some times some people arent gonna be happy but others will be and vice versa. This is just how things are.
@Rextech472 see that's you and some people like the grind like myself I really like pulling for a new character n grind materials for them n primo grind is kinda fun for me too lol the thing is we all are different
I do have over 3000 hours in genshin and I still enjoy playing a lot daily. I just stay away from other players and internet discourse bc I clearly do not see eye to eye with some of the people. Happiness and satisfaction to the game increases when you play alone/with friends.
as someone whose first language is spanish that conversation was hilarious to see LMAO the poor guy was so confused XD although ngl your spanish is not that bad, keep that up, JavaLaTaza (?) (also, 'bno' is a short way to say 'bueno' which is like 'okay' in that context)
I imagine it's difficult when the entire loop of the game is playing, get to the end or get 5* artifacts, waiting for something that feels meaningful to do, or hoping they fix obvious issues or improve systems in the game. Something to make your experience of the game feel unique, or something that feels fulfilling or earned.
@Light.Of.Kshahrewar2.0 People always say this but the story is bloated to high heavens at times, with NPCs or Paimon taking the light far longer than the few cutscenes or cool character moments. Maybe a lore based game more than story, the lore is compelling but requires going out of your way for it.
i think taking a break might help a lot of players, it helped me at least (even though I missed event weapons and think it's a real joke that HSR and maybe ZZZ got an option to reobtain these before genshin) what i find is that trying domains online is really not fun anymore. you go into the domain, no one picks healer but also no one does any fucking damage but then are so toxic. example: i blast all the enemies down to roughly 10% health in just a couple of seconds but then accidentally die because my hp ran low from Neuvilletes mechanic and all enemies sticking to my butt the entire fight. my team literally needed multiple minutes for the remaining 10% and then got toxic about me dying like.... don't complain if you can't pull your own weight and that's my main experience online, people just expect to be carried (i even tried to play heal and leave Neuvillete to others but these go even worse. it's so tiring)
Ngl, I just started Natlan has been so cool! I could definitely see how older players could experience burn out. But I really like the story and have been enjoying working through the quests
Same i used to be a hater even before the whole hate actually started. Like back before inazuma. Used to take a lot of break but the music in that game is what always make me come back. Then Fountain released and I havent stop playing since then.
Natlan is definitely my favorite region so far exploration wise (as a launch player sort of in and out of the game), it's the first one so far that's given me a good incentive to try and 100% all the zones and the map is genuinely really well made and nice to look at. Most of the hate definitely comes from people who aren't playing the game, or it definitely feels that way
As a genshin player for atleast 3 years, (going 3 on feb), I quite enjoy genshin but no longer grind anymore, I only do the archon quest since I'm always their for the lore and story, I will not quit until the end
I still personally enjoy genshin.But those that dont either having been playing since launch(which is understandable coz of burnout) or they are on Twitter
My favorite character is Kokomi, but I don't have her yet because I just started in April and she hasn't appeared yet. My currently favorite owned character is Navia, but Noelle was my OG main whom I still use on the other side of the abyss. My favorite archon quest was Liyue [Yes I'm caught up to Natlan. I enjoyed Sumeru and Fontaine, but I think most people are honeymoon phasing on those regions and don't remember the beginning of the game as fondly as a result.] Liyue had interesting plot twists and I think getting to spend time with Zhongli was amazing. I think he's the archon you got to spend the most time with as friends and I enjoyed it a lot. The irony of helping him set up his own funeral was hilarious. Also, adepti are so cool of a concept and many Liyue characters are super memorable, like Shenhe and her epic cutscenes, and the Jade Chamber too! Ningguang got done dirty. My opinion on Natlan is a bit mixed. I loved the exploration and colors of the region. Kachina won my heart. Ororon personality is sweet, but I don't like how Citlali yells at him and hits him randomly. The archon quest is alright, but the more we find out about Mavuika the more it ruins it for me. She's too perfect a character and was made just to be simped on. Out of all the archons, she has the least character development, and I don't just mean bc we haven't seen much yet. We've seen glimpses of her past and she just strikes me as Genshin Jesus. She's a "human" who happens to be perfect and wants to sacrifice herself to save the world. All the actual "god" archons are a hot mess, and she's just not relatable as a "human." I also feel like Genshin is afraid to lean into the hot-headed stereotype and Mavuika has the personality of an ice queen. She never loses her cool, even in tense situations and I find it off putting. I also don't like how the futuristic elements of other hoyo games are starting to bleed into Genshin and breaks the fantasy immersion. As a whole I'd rate Genshin an 8.5/10. It's a game I started playing after getting hospitalized and it has been fun playing while recuperating. I've never played a game this consistently before and even though I'm running out of content [I have 1140 achievements and am mostly finishing up exploration with treasure compasses now], I still get excited to see what new things are coming up. Super psyched for Lantern Rite as this will be my first one. A feature I'd like to see added; more hydro four stars! Fujin and Amina would be good contenders imo. I try to avoid online discourse because when politics start bleeding into my entertainment, it sours my experience and ability to enjoy the game. I usually look at guides or content creators who make their own content and don't just jump on whatever trend train everyone else is on. About Raiden Shogun: she was probably my least favorite archon personality wise. Lowkey wish we had gotten Makoto instead. She's pretty and my favorite color is purple but I don't like that you basically have to play as the puppet that suppressed an entire nation. If her voicelines were nicer then maybe. Also I was broke after Yelan banner and was saving for Kazuha so I skipped her. She has a cool spear, but I won't be spending on weapon banners until I have all the characters I want.
I've been playing since 2.1 I think? Raidens first banner. And I'm still enjoying myself. I love doing the archon quests and major worldquests have been pretty awesome since Sumeru too. Ochkanatlan was awesome. I dont think I've ever had burnout, but I'm also not on any social media and I don't play daily. I only logon when I actually feel like playing which is mostly on weekends and on average two to three days during the work week. I have 100% map exploration since that is what I enjoy most besides quests. I also don't bother with endgame modes anymore. 36 stared once to get the achivement and then just stopped. I do chambers 9 to 11 if I feel like it and dont do chamber 12 or Imaginarium theater. I don't really get the complaints that there is nothing to do. In my opinion there is a lot to do every patch and when that runs out you can play or do something else. I don't expect a game to keep me entertained 24/7 for the rest of my life and I frankly wouldn't want it to. When the content I enjoy in a patch runs out I take that as a sign to go read a book or something. There is enough to do in this game that when Wuthering Waves came out I noped out pretty soon after discovering that two open world gachas are just too much.
I haven’t been as active on the game as I used to, I just feel like needing a bit of a break cause of how much my passion for this game has been dwindling due to outside drama and also With the game itself sometimes as well
1. Favourite character for gameplay: Mualani Favourite character for vibes: Beidou Favourite character for story: Arlecchino 2. Favourite archon quest: Dainsleif in the Chasm, but I’m only halfway through Sumeru and haven’t done Fontaine yet so that might change (just started playing this past August). 3. Scale of 1-10, I would rate Genshin a 5 and an 8 simultaneously - I’ll get really involved and intrigued by a story beat, then get stuck immediately afterwards in an endless tedious cutscene or sidequest. Very uneven. 4. Wanted feature: a much better /easier way of finding uncompleted content / quests / challenges / objectives. The recent changes to treasure compasses are nowhere near enough. 5. Online discourse: I check youtube to keep up to date with the current discourse, but don’t participate. It’s hard,, though, because all the people complaining about motorcycles right now is insane to me since I’m in the middle of an archon quest where university profs steal everyone’s dreams through the internet. Somehow that’s a top 2 archon quest but a motorcycle breaks immersion?!? 6. Thoughts on Natlan: I like that it’s so compact and dense (especially compared to Sumeru, which is WAY too spread out). I’m perplexed at how many deep deep deep pits Natlan has just laying around 7. Thoughts on Raiden: I really like Ei as a character, but I find it weird that the character you pull for on banners is NOT Ei, but is the Raiden Shogun. Who is the robot. I was really disappoimted when I learned that I spent 82 wishes on a freaking tobot.
I started playing in May 2022 and have never missed a day since! Genshin Impact got me out of a very depressive phase in my life and I'll forever be thankful for that. I love this game so much; the beautiful world, the wonderful music, the amazing exploration, the story and especially the lore is great and I love my companions. I've also met some great co-op friends through this game. Some of them are day one players and still love the game too. Genshin Impact is just very popular and attracts a lot of negativity by default. Won't make me stop loving the game! 💕
Yo, same. I started in 2021 with 2.1 and shit got me through some tough times. Genshin is prolly one of the only games I can't drop, because I love it so much!
As an active Genshin player since launch day... no. No, I don't. At least not for the most part. It's fun when I have a new character to fiddle around with, but after 3-4 days, that high subsides, and it's back to the daily grind, the misery of feeling obligated to waste 10 minutes of mandatory runs through artifact domains, the boredom of dealing with undercooked mingames for 5 more minutes on occasion, and the knowledge that it's not going to get better, because band-aid solutions sell better than permanent improvements. It would be more fun if there was any amount of skill involved, but Genshin doesn't reward skill, it rewards monotonous optimization, which just relies on luck and persistence, not any modicum of ability. Sorry for being a jaded bastard, but I recognize that the sunken cost fallacy is the main reason I still bother with this game. I'm actively hoping for miHoYo to screw up big time, so I can finally bring myself to delete my account...
if the game is making you this miserable, there’s no reason for you to keep playing it. i’d recommend starting with a longer break (at least a week) from the game and seeing how that changes your mood. for this break, uninstall the game so you can’t click on it out of habit. if you feel better without the game, that’s your answer. as it stands right now it’s not healthy for you
I think you should just stop playing instead of force yourself. Sometimes is for the best to not acting miserable like this comment, a bunch of people is having a lot of fun still and hoping for thing to get bad is just not a healthy mentally. The game maybe is just not for you anymore. In my case as also someone who is really in very late game with a lot of characters and all my exploration already done, genshin is not chore but a routine that i like it and have fun when we have new stuff.
Mandatory Runs is sort of the problem It's weird when people create this illusion that you HAVE to engage with certain systems You don't theres not real Vertical Progression and the complexity comes from you being unorthodox and you knowledge of the system The optimization stuff is also extremely subjective for every opinion there's a counter point so what Genshin needs is not clear cut But the game isn't going to morph into an experience you might like especially if it's one that rewards engaging with certain system like Artifacts Its like if someone said they hate Genshin because it doesn't have PVP they might think it true but it's not a flaw of the game but an issue with how that player engages with Genshin
@@demonking-zm3rs For a f2p like me, daily grind is VERY mandatory. If I take longer breaks, I singificantly lower the odds of getting the characters I want, miss out on time-gated materials, and fall behind on keeping my characters on a level high enough to pass the DPS checks for other rewards. It's an insidious cycle, and I'm stuck in it. My entire motivation to continue playing Genshin is to get characters I like and experience the main story. Because I like the story, even though it's not that good.
I've been enjoying the game way more in recent patches than I have done in a while, there is so much cool shit to do that just wasn't a thing back in the Mondstat days.
Been playing since 2022 and i think genshin is still fun! Took a break few months but still catch up to the latest archon quest. I love Raiden too, so i want her with Beidou works together in the future! Also i want that older event weapons exchange system of hsr to be implemented in genshin, cuz i missed a lot of it. I give genshin 8/10 cuz the power creep isn't that significant like most of gacha games, so i can clear any late game contents easily to fund my gambling addiction XD
I think Natlan's quest hasn't been bad (there's been some absolutely great moments), but it's been so disconnected from the rest of Teyvat. I understand that it's an isolated nation but usually those kind of nations are behind in technological advances, not massively ahead. And considering that people from other Nations can apparently just visit whenever, why hasn't their technology been brought to other nations? it's so weird to me that Fontaine has been considered the furthest in technological advances according to the lore so far and then we get into Natlan and it's like "Just kidding". I like Natlan, I like the characters, I like the design of the region, I LOVE the movement mechanics implemented into the characters (needed this since 1.1, honestly) but it just doesn't feel like i'm in Teyvat right now. Maybe that's intentional, I don't know. (I also have to admit, having sporadic voice acting is pulling me out of it as well) Also if this massive world shattering war is going on, where the fall of Natlan could lead to the fall of Teyvat, then why exactly has no one been talking about it? I swear people of the world were more concerned about the flooding of Fontaine, which was region specific, rather then an unbeatable war against the abyss.
I think their lore justification is that the tech stuff runs on the special energy found only in Natlan. But that's lore... anyone with half a brain can create lore to justify anything. If they wanted to, they could make the entire Genshin world an experiment run by aliens in the next patch.
To be fair, natlan is supposed to feel disconnected from Teyvat. Especially since we never heard anything about it from before and we’ve never seen any npc. It’s supposed to feel isolated
In the flower feather clan quest, they show that. Not only does switching EVERYDAY life to tech (flying with tech instead of saurians, etc) actively erase their culture and identity of the tribes as well as their relationship with the saurians, mass training everyone to properly control this tech is a big issue. Since there's no prior generations to learn from, there are many issues unknown to them which can go wrong, and, in war, there isn't really space for mistakes. Fontaine IS the most technologically advanced, Natlan is just also advanced in different ways. Chasca's flying gun isn't even a flying gun. It's just an oversized gun she makes fly using anemo and controls with her reins. Only Mavuika's bike and Kinich's pixels can be argued against, and the bike is shown to have had its blueprints found by Mavuika and Xilonen made many adjustments. A bike being for a dragon doesn't seem so far fetched now as, of course we've known they have advanced tech, but "dragon" is a very wide title and applies to many. Och Kan, for example, was about human sized. Also, in Citlali's story quest, that issue is also tackled. A man from Fontaine is upset because the Masters Of The Night Wind invented something before him so he couldn't take credit, and his thoughts were basically, "How is this nation even capable of innovation? This backwards place shouldn't have been able to create something like this in the first place!" which is a common misconception about tribal areas in real life as well in addition to poorer countries. As for why many others aren't worried, no idea. Maybe a whole nation being flooded will have impact on other nations. Natlan is kinda separated by a sea anyways so even if it went to the dumps, the abyss stuff stays there. Don't think foreigners want to get involved in a constant abyss fight anyways. Capitano helping shows that they can CHOOSE to, they just don't want to.
Genshin isn't bad, but it's definitely flawed. While some stories are interesting, they are also repeating. You go in looking for your sibling, you help the nation, and then you don't have any clues from the Archon. I think the most interesting part is the Fatui part. And before someone says something, I've been playing before Inazuma came out. I believe it around the time Barbara and Jean had their skin. So far, Sumeru and Fontaine have been the most interesting to me, and I think a lot of people agree it is. Although I do wish we could go back to the Inazuma Traveler where they were most expressive more annoyed. But mostly, it's not bad but deeply flawed, but I feel like the people constantly call Genshin the best game refuse to acknowledge its flaws
Hoyoverse definitely needs to do better, especially when it comes to using other cultures, especially when China would be just as upset if America or any other country misused theirs
if only there were other quests besides Archon Quests, something like idk... world quests?? Or maybe if Genshin added more flagship events besides the ones that come out every version?
@rabitahmazumder2143 I know there's other quests and I play those too but I'm mainly talking on the ones that's usually promoted aka the Archon Quest. Granted I also wished they put in a function to where it helps unlock certain world quests that's locked by Daily Commissions
If I recall right, the quest where you actually meet with your sibling is after the Inazuma quest, where your goal changes from finding your sibling to traveling the world and finding the hidden truth alluded to by your sibling. That's why the traveller chilled out after that and isn't as focused on the sibling anymore, but on uncovering the truth of the world so that he can understand why the sibling sided with the abyss order.
You did really good with the Spanish questions don't worry😆It was only the feature question that was kinda funny because "featuro" means nothing in Spanish haha
Dont mind me but im gonna answer the questions as well just to see something. 1. Fav chara(s): Kaveh, Zhongli, Barbara, Scara, Wrio, Xingqiu, Columbina 2. Fav AQ: Fontaine bc i rejoined around summer event in sumeru and started playing more regularly when they released Fontaine. 3. Opinion on Natlan: the AQ was good(not bad not great, just good enough), the exploration not so much bc i hate to switch to those saurians whenever i have to climb/swim/fly but if i dont i better get the charas which i don't like much design wise outside maybe Mualani and Kinich(still wishing they got darker skin tho) 4. Rate genshin 1-10: solid 6(bc i like number 6 and its still past half the point so i like some and dont like some) 5. Hoping for added feature: i really want them to add easier system to get artifacts that I want... I hate farming them over and over and over so I just gave up in order to preserve my mental health 6. Engaging in online discourse: once in a while(bc I love reading other people's opinions to form mine in the first place) 7. Raiden Shogun: she's cool- tho I love her son more
I'm going to answer these questions myself, it'll just be my opinion. 1. Favorite character... Right now, probably Furina. I mean, self explanataory honestly. Although Neuvillette, Alhaitham, and Klee also rank fairly high up. 2. Favorite AQ? I know a lot of people said it, but Fontaine. I think Sumeru was also really well done, but if I had to chose, definitely Fontaine. I just hope Natlan drops more lore bombs because we are quite literally almost at the final nation and the game still kind of refuses to give us some more details + tons of other map releases, will we even be finished by then? 3. My opinion on Natlan. for the most part, positive. I enjoy it a lot, I think it's definitely up there with the other nations, and other characters I initially didn't care much for, grew on me, such as Chasca. 4.. I'd say... 8.5 I've had fun, I have had more fun in fontaine as that was the only region I got to 100% exploration (every other one was like 60-80%, Havent touched chenyu or natlan, mostly because I don't have as much time anymore and I'd like to play other games. Not because I don't want to or dont find them fun.) 5. Resin bank, increased resin and recharge rate, and new forms of endgame content that isn't just "Lets buff max hp to enemies". Because at that point, you're just making it a unbeliavable dps check that might be dependant on character constellations, even as someone with good builds overall. Tough to balance and make interesting at the same time, and accessable for most players with decently invested accounts. I don't play much open world like genshin, so I don't know how they would do that. 6. I UNFORTUNATELY do interact with the discourse. Especially on twitter. Ew. I hate the discorse there. A lot of people are hypocritical when coming to representation and end up making designs that are uninformed because they believe they know the best decisions, other people just care way too much. Me personally, I don't care much for fictional characters on a screen. Do I agree that some characters should have different designs like Chasca or Ororon? Yes. Do I agree that they should have made more dark skinned characters? Yes. Do I agree that they should expand the variety for character models besides npcs? Yes! There is a lot of valid criticism across the game that I agree with, but I'm not going to harass artists or other people simply for enjoying the game and get likes on twitter because "I fixed your character" with a black edit or anything along the lines of that. I just dont agree with "raceswapping" as a whole... If it's wrong for one side, it's wrong for the other. And to me the whole, made out of love and made out of hate argument makes no sense. Also, those "boycotters" really tryna be talking when they still give money to other hoyo games and still play the game LMAO 😭 That's not how a effective boycott works... Going "f2p only" has not hurt hoyo at all. It's all the same company making different games profiting off of us... In general, I don't like the hoyo community, star rail players feel enttitled and shill the game too much not recognizing problems, genshin players are stupid, etc etc. 7. I like the shogun, she has good lore and is a genuinely interesting character who will play an important role into the story later. As an Archon, even if she was my least favorite, I Still liked her... Will I ever pull for her? No... I won't. But, sometimes is good to just admire a character for what they bring to the table. I know she is a controversial character with how people view her, but I personally believe that she acted in the best faith for her nation. I mean, she did see what happened if a nation strides too far... She just wanted to prevent that with what she thought was right and wouldnt trigger the heavenly principles. Again! My opinion, if you disagree, that's completely fine. I'm not stopping you. The community still has amazing talent and I wish people could just enjoy the game for the positive things, all while providing real valid criticism that can improve the game. Criticism is necessary for something to improve.
Depends on who you ask, if you ask those who are still playing, they'll say they like it. If you don't like it, you'd probably have a negative comment on it. And it ranges from less male characters, natlan story feels kinda slow, or mavuika's mechanic was just not worth it. Me personally, i think genshin is still great, i wish we get to sneznyiah, but the devs are literally stalling us at this point. Hoyo better at least promise a sub region is going to be worth it to even have it's own chapter otherwise it's a major turn off, especially the upcoming characters are just not worth it. Not my concern really since there are alternatives now with wuwa, ananta and more to take genshin's place.

i think asking people who are actively playing genshin is going to get more positive answers than people who stopped playing
fr
i agree
This is such a good point, istg I've seen this one thing common in all players who negatively speaks about the game.
praising genshin won't get u views and engagement that's why
Idk there's a lot of people on twitter that hate the game but can't stop playing it lol
3:26 it doesn’t matter where you place the crystal fly trap. No matter where you place it, it will gather 15 crystal fly cores, even if it’s in a place with no crystalflies. Which is why some people (me included) placed it in front of katheryne for convenience :)
I guess I need to start doing that for myself, as I'm starting to run out of crystalflies on most accounts
You can get that gadget at Fountain reputation
I like to place my crystal fly trap in mondstadt on the beach where two electro crystals sit in the water. It reminds me to place my parametric transformer too, since they're both once a week but the trap actually stays on the map
I put mine in front of the Mondstadt fountain
Oooooo I’m glad that I read this comment cuz I was like I’m gonna forget where I placed it 🤣
As a spanish speaker: Yes. (Also, "escarcha bendita" is the sanctifying elixir, that thing to choose artifact main stats)
Jokes aside, your spanish isn't that bad! You got like half of it correctly lol.
@@Tachiiii_Yeah, I agree it wasn’t half bad for mainly improvising
But most of the conjugations being wrong made me laugh so hard lol
You should create a little questionnaire of these questions and post it for your RUclips followers to answer. That will increase your sample size significantly.
You can include questions like:
- When was the last time you played genshin?
- What AR are you currently?
- Are you f2p or a spender?
First 2 so you can have information on if they are current players and how much they play, and last question mainly because I feel it would be interesting to know.
Is there a trend between the amount of money people spend and their enjoyment of the game? I think that'd be interesting to see 🤔
Then do a follow up video with the summary of the results from the survey. I'd personally definitely watch that!
I think the f2p is a very good question!
awesome idea, and finding out what they play on can impact results too. As a mobile player (with controller) I'm blown away at how such a massive elaborate game can be played on mobile compared to anything else that had been available before, but I can see how for pc players, compared to other games they have access to, it might not seem quite as impressive?
brilliant idea about asking last time they played. I think finding out when they started playing is good too. I started 3.4 and I was loving the game so much, but I had the benefit of a TON of exploration/quests rather than slow drip over time and that made the story more impactful too - now I'm caught up on everything and it doesn't feel as magical BUT I purposefully have half the exploration loot left to collect so I can go back to locations for nostalgia and enjoy the music lol. there is SO MUCH content for new players that it significantly impacts how the game is viewed. I might feel as jaded as veterans with nothing left to do, but I still have a bunch left so I'm enjoying it still
@trashbuilds8351 Ohh a very interesting perspective indeed! I started playing in 2022 and still love this game.
Content can get a little dry right at the end of a region but that's to be expected. Typically during those times I just chose a character I haven't built yet and do that until the next region is released.
My favourite part of the game is definitely the exploration as I have 100% on the entire map (including the additional areas like Enknomiya, Chasm underground, ect.) There may be patches I find a little boring at times, but overall I really love this game!
@@kirsty735 Great job exploring everything! I love treasure hunting lol
Yes great idea about building the shelf sitters ha. Now that I have strong teams, I like trying to build some of the others just for fun, I even made an alt account just to pull ones I don't really want on my main so i never feel like I'm missing out on trying every character for free!
@@trashbuilds8351 My boyfriend plays genshin and has since it's release. He's a whale player so has practically every character, a bunch of constellations, and 5 star weapons.
I have his log in information as I do exploration on his account too so I get to use all sorts of different characters I don't have on my main.
I also love whenever the combat events give you trial characters because it's so fun using characters I wpidont actively choose to spend my primos on.

1.2 player. Natlan art direction is pretty different, not my taste but I guess it's a nice experiment and change of pace. I hope they move back to their previous art style for next region.
1.6 player. Joined for Kaeya and because Genshin was described as, "BOTW but anime" and I was like, "SAY NO MORE", stayed for those same reasons but also the story, music, exploration, lore, and Papitano's decaying gluteus maximus
Me too. My 1st dps was Kaeya. At that time he was underrated. He was given a bit of credit by the time I had a 5 star dps 🙃
Day 1 player, and I'm gotta stick to atleast the end of the "first" main story.
I’ve played since 1.4 without breaks. Still like the game but it’s more because of the past than the current game. Natlan lore and quests are ok. Not that keen on the motorbike stuff but I can live with it. Mostly I’m really disappointed with the “let’s pretty much stop releasing male characters” thing Hoyo has decided to do. Like “We don’t actually give a toss anymore about a wider playerbase, just the waifu collectors.”
Real like i wonder if this pandering to waifu collectors is gonna affect the story at some point 😥😥😥
they just added 2 male characters tho
@@xlightninghawk6360 you mean Kinich? The only male 5star they released on all of 2024? And Ororon?
Yes, that is indeed very generous…
Hoyo keeps throwing in some random 4star male characters to make people complain less.
I mean
this is the same company that capitulated to backlash regarding male Dreamseeker in Honkai Impact
if you're seriously wanting much more variety
FGO's gender split is much better than Genshin's imo, but that might just be as a result of it having far more characters than Genshin
the biggest hurdle for it is no EN dub, and it's gacha
I also hate that the husbando collectors (like myself) got abandoned... I mean, I like Kinich and Ororon, but I would've liked a male archon more...

13:23 the emotes are arranged by the patch they are released on. They usually feature characters that were featured in the banners/story/events from the previous patch.
16:59 (Rough translation, from someone in the same situation as Java) "It seems like a nation important to the lore of Genshin, and the quests I did there most recently felt epic."
Improved translation from a Spaniard: "that it's going to be an important nation for Genshin lore, and that until now it's the one that has the most epic quests" (as in quantity of epic quests)

Been playing since 1.0 and no I dont enjoy it anymore. Nahida has kept me going for so long but I think it's finally time.
Understandable and same. I stopped enjoying the game even earlier because the devs kept ignoring feedback.

Playing since 1.5 and I still love the game! As long as you stay off most social platforms, there’s not much drama. I have been playing daily and I don’t think I’ll stop until the archon quest is over
Same here.
Ye, same, I enjoy what I always enjoyed about the game and that will never change, i still freaking love it a lot. I do have some complaints about the gacha since i am salty from losing, but that's just a little inconvenience, i have played many gacha games before and i got used at how things work, i don't say this gacha has to remain the same and as bad as it's, but what i am saying, is that personally, it doesn't affect my playing experience and how enjoyable the game is.....now on the other hand, the drama was kinda killing it for me so i stopped staying on social media(most of it anyway)
Same i didnt even realise there was drama, because i just play the game every day and watch java and rednas
same, I'll probably wont be playing as much if I found another hyperfixation or hobby but I dont see myself dropping genshin lol
I mean most genshin drama is just overblown and nitpicking which is a good thing for a game this size that the biggest drama is people asking for more stuff (chara/rewards/endgame).
As somebody who speaks spanish fluid it’s wayyyy to funny but you did a good job :>
Thank you for still posting Genshin, I've been active watching genshin content for months, aside from reaction content and twitch streaming content, there's not much content like yours nowadays (maybe theres a few others) but its nice we get recent content and revolves Natlan.

literally me here JAKSKAKWKSK
i think it's true that there is some relation with keeping in touch with online discourse and the enjoyment of the game! i might be a very good example of this-- i quit genshin for an entire 2 years because ive seen so much wrong with the game which was brought to my attention /because/ of online discourse.
after my 2 year break from genshin and the community, my gripes with the game have mellowed down and ive become less aggressive when it comes to things i didnt like. instead, i focused on what i liked, and enjoy it in that way (like exploring, building characters, etc) and the game just feels so much better that way.
I deleted all social media except youtube because of this. People from both sides are way too aggressive and defending their point like Hoyo pays them. I still get into heated arguments once in a while but it's decreasing slowly. They were right. It is the damn phone.
i think the community is primed to be so aggressive and parasocial because of a few things that kind of correlate with each other.
i love the game to bits, but man is the game pretty shallow for the most part. there are so many better options out there for pretty much anything besides the lore (which i’ll get to later), the art and the character designs. narratives, character writing, general storytelling, etc. gacha by itself is already a superficial concept, and the game’s presentation, or rather, lack thereof, of its other aspects make that factor worse in effect, in my opinion. this, i feel is the reason why most people quit the game.
this superficiality reflects in most of the social media content made of this game as well. almost nothing creative or artistic or transformative is ever really made in the community besides the cosplays, lore breakdowns and hoyofair blowing away my expectations every year. take that away, and it’s mostly just slop or obligatory like character guides. there is so much potential to be found within and outside the game, but that’s a topic for another day.
it’s common occurrence that currently active and social media active genshin players often lose out on irl friends they introduced genshin to or the friends that introduced them to genshin, or both, due to reasons i’ve already listed out above. what makes more people lose interest or become jaded of this game even further is when online discourse gets so extreme it becomes overwhelming for most people. this, in my opinion is largely due to how gambling culture, in the pursuit of always wanting more and more and overall loneliness mix together. ironically, in the pursuit of closeness and intimacy the exact opposite happens as they push each other away with more extreme discourse on mostly irrelevant topics in the grand scheme of things. all while simultaneously attaching their happiness to something they loathe. this pushes newcomers away even further, further fueling what i’ll coin as gambler’s loneliness, even further. yes, i am making the age-old argument that genshin players are lonely. it’s cliché, but really, it’s hard to argue its impact (no pun intended).
and as for those who don’t suffer from said gambler’s loneliness, well, they aren’t apart of those heated and extreme discourses in the first place. i mean, why put yourself through hell for company when you’ve already got company right here? but in the first place, it’s hard for a lot of people to form a good connection with people through genshin for how superficial it is (my opinion, of course). and the things that aren’t superficial, they’re hard to get into. which leads me to genshin’s lore, as well as cosplay culture.
the lore community is always best regardless of what piece of media it is about. it creates productive discourse, solving puzzles and problems as a community that is hard to find anywhere else. but unfortunately, most of the very important lore in this game is dug through books you’re never incentivized to read in-game, and etymological references and analysis no casual would dare to even try to dissect. hell, the most important bit of lore in the game is in a book all the way down in enkanomiya. why would a casual player end up reading the book if they’re never told to? the game puts so much lore emphasis in books and etymology as if declining literary rates aren’t a problem. this creates this huge divide between the casual and the intermediate fanbases, as the barrier to entry to understand the lore is frankly very uncertain, scary, and sometimes, downright confusing if you go on with the wrong mindset and with the wrong tools. just look at tiktok and pretty much any other short-form content spreading headcannons and misinformation regarding lore and characters as truth and people just eating all that up.
to put it simply, understanding lore takes effort. cosplay culture also goes in that category too. but i have a feeling that gacha culture has sort of rid many people away from effort that doesn’t tie in with gacha pulls (i’ve personally felt a sliver of this myself) when in reality, effort exerted as a community garners the best engagement and elevates said community to a new level, as stated before with communities of FNAF and gravity falls being more notable examples.
with all this in mind, it’s no wonder the community can easily feel so recycled, tired, toxic, or repetitive.
before i conclude, i’d like to say that it’s completely okay if you enjoy the story even if i say it feels very superficial, that is just my personal opinion and hypothesis as a root for why i think the community feels horrible to be in, as i have observed this sort of phenomenon in other pieces of media before. i’m frankly a lore enjoyer, and that’s why i keep playing the game. you may have your own reasons, and that’s completely fine.
if i were to give any advice on how to enjoy things (i think as we grow older, we kind of forget how to), a real, physical community in reality is key. whether that be for genshin or for something else to make you playing genshin causally on your own fun again, is up to you. it’s your own player experience after all.
if you’ve read this far, i commend you for it. i’m happy somebody took time out of their day to read my batch of words in particular. thank you for reading, here’s to a good day, evening or night ❤❤.
@@zhrzhnIdk I prefer playing alone all the time, so Im not lonely, but I enjoy Genshin content. Many fans are just so goddam negative, mean, and/or creepy that it's hard to avoid. I dont disagree, but I also think something about the character collection gameplay breeds animosity.
@@stannosaurus from the way you described character collection, i am inclined to believe this is your first gacha game? same, if that is the case.
@@zhrzhn thankfully ive made strong enough relationships prior getting into genshin so loneliness isnt rlly a problem regardless of when my friends play it or not, but cant lie i still do wish i had friends who actually like playing the game bc any time i try to make friends w genshin fans they're actually very miserable about it and obviously want to quit but they just choose not to, likely for a variety of reasons including the ones u mentioned. that, or they've already quit the game long ago but still choose to stay bitter and trash talk about it (who are they, tectone???)
genshin definitely isn't the best game out there, it has many flaws that warrant criticism but at the end of the day, its still just a game i choose to play to have fun and i dont want anyone's negativity to take that away from me. real life is already as daunting as it is...
i hope people realize that its not worth it sticking to something that makes them unhappy and just focus on what they actually enjoy. maybe the community wouldn't be as miserable yknow?

Como que no, su español es purrrrrfecto
You did so well with the Spanish section! If that's only from Highschool classes, then it's really impressive!
seeing a lot of people wording it like "people who don't engage in discussions about the game enjoy it more" while i think it's more accurate to say that people who look at the media they consume with a critical view might have a different experience with it.
someone who plays for endgame content is gonna be happy as long as strong characters get released and a variety of endgame content is available, while someone who likes exploring the lore and its real world connections has a lot more bases to be disappointed on. one of those is more likely to engage with the community (and thus, discourse) than the other
It can definitely be anything. Different people have different perspectives, it's impossible to pinpoint a general statement about what is right and what is wrong. That is why for a game as big as genshin, statistics matter the most. And those statistics have shown year after year that it is retaining its strong dominance as a live service game.
@noelledefendsquad I'm AR 56 and I engage a lot with the community. The lore and exploration are part of why I play, and I loved Natlan's lore, map and exploration (except the cliffs of Ochkanatlan, those can burn). Meanwhile most of the people I see complaining are either extremely media-active players who joined in like 3.x when Sumeru was released or AR 60s experiencing massive burnout and blaming Natlan for singlehandedly causing it.
I'm not going to sit here and say that my point of view is the only valid one, there are valid criticisms to be made of Genshin such as the skin color issue which was entirely a design decision or the fact that Natlan characters don't work outside Natlan which is based on phlogiston only existing on Natlan, which is also a design choice.
But I have also seen people complain about the grind aspect when they didn't complain until 5.x, or claiming that Natlan story is bad because it's not as grand as Fontaine or Sumeru or because of the power of friendship which is literally everywhere in Genshin, I've seen others say that Mavuika's bike (or Mavuika in general) is a game-breaking issue and should be removed and that Natlan's stakes (where ~2000 die in the war) weren't as high as in Fontaine (where ~35 die), I've seen people claim that around 70% of Natlan's designs and tropes don't fit Natlan (or rather, their opinions of what Natlan should be), I've seen demands to change Mavuika's outfit only for mods that do it to be shunned and criticized because they didn't look that good in 3D...
All in all, I think I can classify those complaints in 4 categories:
1. Legitimate complaints (i.e. Natlanese are whitewashed, phlogiston mechanics should apply everywhere after 5.3 AQ, powercreep is getting concerning...)
2. Matters of taste (Natlan AQ wasn't that grand, I didn't feel the fear of the characters, Mavuika/bike design is bad...)
3. Memetic complaints/copypastas (there are no brown characters in Genshin, Mavuika and her bike ruined my immersion, Natlan stakes weren't high enough because war is war and people die in war but no main characters died...)
4. Jaded veterans venting out on Natlan (the voice actor issue has gotten too bad [note: it's not MiHoYo's fault], grinding is too time-consuming and not rewarding at all [despite it always having been like that], devs don't listen to the players [idem]...)
I'm also going to add that people aren't acting like that around Genshin alone, but it's becoming a trend to criticize literally everything that doesn't cater to one's taste (which should be category 5: unreasonable whining) and try to "convert" people into your hatred. Much like back in the mainstream metalhead era when people were throwing hate on each other's preferred metal music flavor, but without so much as a flavor you like. People who don't play ToF, don't play WuWa, don't play HSR, play Genshin but deeply hate Genshin and will try their hardest to make you hate it.
The other day, I argued with someone about Mavuika's bike, which he maintained didn't fit in Natlan because it's not suppossed to have modern tech. To which I replied that the devs added modern tech as a stylistic choice, and thus by default it is suppossed to have it. He responded that Natlan is a representation of pre-colonial Africa and pre-columbine America, which I countered by arguing that it's a representation of Africa, America, the Pacific Islands and Oceania after they were colonized, i.e. a mix of modernity and tradition. After which he told me that he wished to see me wither until I don't even have the strength or willpower to hang myself, and that I should slit my throat.
That's the kind of haters you meet on Genshin communities online. After spending time on those communities, I don't hate Genshin, I hate the haters.
@ishzarkklyon9590 1) metalheads hating on other bands bc their music is too soft is not the same as hating something based on actual criticisms
2) was this on tiktok bc i hate people there who criticise the bike bc they straight up do not know shit about the game and never talk about actual issues. i have a problem too with bike-haters, not bc i like the bike, but bc they genuinely are not intelligent enough to get that the arguments they use are BS, in turn making all actual criticism look like baseless hating
@noelledefendsquad 1) metalheads hating on other people because they like anything other than the genre they like is the same as hating on other people because they still like a game you hate.
2) it was in the official Discord channel, but someone on reddit told me Natlan haters wished she and her pet get raped
17:01 He or she said: “It will be an important nation for Genshin’s lore, and that so far has the most epic missions”
As some who has an even more limited knowledge of Spanish, your Spanish portion of this video was the highlight of these interviews for sure. And because you didn't ask me, I shall also answer your questions... bc I want to! :3
1) Fave character: Kazuha (who, btw, is not my profile pic)
2) Fave Archon Quest: Prob Fontaine... but I do have a soft spot for Sumeru bc Nahida is my favorite Archon.
3) Opinion on Natlan: Superb OST, the map expansion area has been my favorite so far, Mavuika is pretty awesome as a character even tho I'm not crazy about her design. Also, tangentially related to Natlan, I actually really liked Paimon in the main story quest this time around... I felt like her tangible sadness and desperation added more to the atmosphere of the story than just being a floating exposition fairy.
4) Game on a scale of 1-10: 8.5... is that being too generous? Maybe... but in spite of all of its flaws, I freaking love this game. I haven't stopped playing once since I started in 2022 and I don't intend to until "Genshin II". xD
5) One feature I'd like: More. Husbandos. PLZ!! Why does ZZZ and Star Rail get all the hot tall male models and Genshin only gets female characters (not that those female characters aren't cool -- I love our Genshin ladies!! -- but the ratio is just so glaringly apparent)!
6) Interact with Genshin stuff online: Sometimes. I use Twitter, I'm a part of a couple of Discord communities, and have IRL friends who I like to share funny Genshin memes and fanart with.
7) Fave thing about Raiden: I still think she is meta (for my account at least) and I have to thank her for caring my teams early game as she was my very first 5 star unit. She is one of the few characters that I can reliably depend on to always help me clear content.
I will pose for my close up now, Charolette. 😉 Just kidding.
This was fun and I hope we see more in the coming year! Happy holidays!
What hot male models in ZZZ???? The only one around is Lighter because one is a robot, the other two are a furry and the other dude died and became a boss with a motorcycle.
ZZZ is just 1 single lone dude.
@@bluepototo7671 I can concede that ZZZ is also in need of more male representation but Lighter is doing a spectacular job carrying the "hotness factor" for the entire cast -- there hasn't been another that could hold a candle. ;)
13:09 they're all based on patches! we get new packs every patch (emotes related to the patch before) so they all include characters from said patch's main story/event!
Really fun video! I love the part where you spoke Spanish. As for the core theme of the video, I don't think the burnt out players who log in only to do dailies for 10 minutes then leave are the easiest to catch, unfortunately.
I find ppl stating that they "stay off social media" and find the game more enjoyable. While I'm sure that does affect ones enjoyment of the game, I think the core problems of Genshins game will eventually get to you. Idk if these types are ignoring the issues bc of online discourse or not.
I played consistently for 3 years and dropped the game entirely for other alternatives. The game has many bright spots but a lot of sour spots that added up to a not so enjoyable experience
Its more enjoyable to ignore the daily grind. The game feels so much more fresh after quitting the endless grind & only coming back for new story, world quests and exploration. To me, despite the many flaws, the world still remains interesting and compelling enough to draw me in every time.
@Aravestia that's a nice way to look at it but a good chunk of ppl who play like to grind and like for the grind to be enjoyable. On top of that when other games have issues with grind the devs address them.
Sadly Hoyo often does not
yup, i never cared about the hate before, but the issues shinned in natlan, lack of representation, boring famale chars and lack of males got to me hard, i have nohing to wish for so no motivation to play
Same goes for me, I dont engage with the community, I was playing since launch. The most egregious decision for me was natlan characters being nerfed outside of natlan. I get that they are from that region, but was force obsolescence really necessary? Compared to fontaine, the pneuma/ousia mechanic was minimal that it barely changed the fontaine characters outside of their region. Not to mention, I did not like the story direction for Natlan and thats coming from the Peak Fontaine we experienced last year.
I personally enjoyed natlan in 5.1 I thought it was a good direction. But after I got nahida I kinda just left the game cuz I was tired of the grinding system for artifacts. And having restrictions on certain days didn’t help. So even if I enjoyed other aspects I didn’t like the fact it felt like a chore
When I first started about 2 months ago when it dropped on Xbox, definitely. I was enjoying it so much. Sumeru felt a tad bit long but was good, and Fontaine showed me why I absolutely love the game. Natlan was very good too.
rushed the comments only to find no comments, and find out i'm mega early help

13:11 Theyre ordered after the patches. If the characters dont fit together in it then its most likely becausw of being a new character and from an event in that patch, for example, the simulanka event has characters that dont fit together at all, yet there are still emotes for that patch eith those characters :)
The Raiden shogun questions killed me😭
Yeah, I play it daily. Im currently working on 100% all the regions, done with Natlan, Liyue and Mondstadt, and having a blast checking off every chest puzzle and icon on the interactive online map.
I also still enjoy pulling new meta characters (saved enough primo to recently get Neuvilette and am also getting Mavuika and Citlali in a few days) and building them to make new teams to play around. The game is fun! I guess once Ive done all the world quests and 100% every single zone, I wont have much to do outside of patch day every month and a half… but thats ok too.
I saw so much negativity on social media regarding genshin, so I stopped reading those types of posts and just made the game enjoyable for myself. I love exploring, building characters, and coming up with ways that the story can progress. I never stopped enjoying genshin in my two years of playing it. I only pull for characters i like and enjoy playing, and the game never stops being fun. I just like playing with my favourite characters and friends ✨️🎀
This is so true. Genshin is sm better when you're off certain platforms.
@nekomi_kiyxi exactly!! in some cases when I see some people say they liked the game better when they started, I think it was because they still hadn't interacted with the toxic part of the community!!!
Even hoyolab isn't spared from negativity. I only use it for the login bonuses and the game profiles, but it's still usually the first thing I see whenever I open the app.
So true! I even used to post Genshin stuff on Tik Tok, but the community is toxic af. I stil have plenty of fun with the game.

Patch one player and never stopped enjoying playing genshin daily. But also im old. My nostalgia kick comes from the ps2/late 90s era where games were hard to aquire and space on device was beyond limited. so you bled the game absolutely dry making your own fun along the way .
A lot of the actual player base and not just the online andies are casual players they log in once or twice a week do somethings and log off as they got other things in life going on .
As someone in the process of learning Spanish, I was actively using the interaction as an opportunity to learn more vocabulary! Thank you for boosting my Spanish knowledge JavaTheCup!
yep, i've played this game since 2years ago, and l'm still loving it. i like the world in game, i like the characters or even the npcs, and i like the lore of the game.
I just came back from 4 month break and i enjoy the game. I've played through all the archon quesgs already and planning on doing Ochkanatlan quest soon. I think it is important to just take a break when game starts to feel like a chore. Don't give in to fomo. If you don't enjoy the game, take a break
Probably the case, I take a break on sumeru dessert because it actually feels like a chore, come back on fontaine release and havent stop loving the game.
I agree with you, but instead of taking a long break I prefer to take frequent short breaks. Works wonders for me.
@@rusticcloud3325 This is a to each their own situation i think. I returned when i wanted to play again. If short breaks work, great!
Well, it's like trying to cure symptoms rather than addressing the actual problems. Are people not allowed to criticise anything nowadays without being called toxic? Some issues people complain about are pretty much valid. If I take a break (I did during 5.2), I doubt the problems Genshin obviously has will just magically disappear. I get it, that some people are excessively harsh with their words, but let's not pretend the game is ideal.
@@victoriary4371 I never pretended it was idea nor i am defending its flaws. I've been playing since around 2.0 and i've long accepted that some stuff is never going to be changed. I still fill in end of the patch survey but i don't expect it to help either. Engaging in social media discourse will just create more toxicity most of the times. I return to play expecting to see the flaws, but also all the stuff i like. When i'm tired, i go for a break again.

Favorite Character: Itto
Favorite AQ: Sumeru
Thoughts on Natlan: fun to explore, part 4 was breathtaking
Score: 7
Wanted Feature: like the 1st guy, a way to re-view past events. They could make it in-lore by having Mondstadt be a ballad from Venti/others, Liyue from the Tea Storyteller, Inazuma: Sakura/Ley Line stuff, Sumeru: Nahida accessing Irminusul (that one's a bit of a stretch), Fontaine: A play, Natlan: not sure, but then again we haven't really had a Natlan event yet
Online community: small discord and Reddit (and watching you guys, obviously)
Raiden: her story quests were interesting with her learning more about humanity
Favourite character : Furina
Favourite Archon quest : Fontaine, tho im liking Natlan a lot right now
About Natlan : I really like it for now, its really pretty and has cool mechanics and areas.
Scaling : Maybe 9 ? I'm enjoying myself
Added feature wish : i guess ill agree with the first player, and the resin overflow stuff too
Discourse interaction : i mean if youtube counts yes, otherwise, no
About the raiden : she sent Jean TWICE on two different banners before getting home, but she did get home so it says what i think about her i believe
Hi Java! Thank you for making this video.
This showed that no matter what people say, the online community is still one of the smallest part in Genshin. Not everyone online and not everyone feels the need to engage online to talk about what they like about Genshin. This warms my heart.
Of course. The ones that complain are the same idiots that rush the game, care about meta, etc. It's the same with every single patch they never learn.
Meanwhile, the normal players just enjoy the game. Their main problem with the game is that there's too much content
I really like your interview style videos, they're always fun to watch.
I come back to Genshin and this channel every few months, Ive been watching for YEARS but you know, as life returned to normal after the pandemic I don't have enough time to play a lot of genshin, hearing the Korea university rock dragon joke just brought me back to those good times.
I liked genshin but not as much anymore coz it took alot of time to play(i have a busy schedule) and it started feeling like a chore.
Natlan was more of like the straw that broke the camel's back coz....well, several reasons.
But otherwise, the game was so much fun when i started and i enjoyed a lot of it. Didn't engage in much online discourse though. I only have my own opinions.
Otherwise, your videos are always a treat.
Agree Natlan is just the same old long stories and hidden chests. No new gameplay or goal except exploration. I’d rather have a fun experience playing an fps match or a sport game with multiplayer than run around in a game and use resin
@@Zarya. That just mean it's not your kind of game, since what you described is the point of Genshin, exploration, stories, quest and some new mechanics like nights souls...
@@TheDimaria93yeah the point of genshin is to be an exploration game with lore but that shouldn’t be the only thing it has. It should have other things in it too because it’s a live service game.
@Bunxana Not every live service are the same when you play CoD warzone, you don't expect a story, quest and exploration because it's an fps the same can be said about Genshin since it's an RPG not a pvp game, it's causal game.
@@TheDimaria93 yes not anymore. I used to really like genshin
Bro there are countless ppl playing the game and every one wants different things. Some times some people arent gonna be happy but others will be and vice versa. This is just how things are.
Eh it depends I feel like the biggest issue for me with the game is just the grinding system which is why I kinda left the game during 5.1
scrolled the comments section. tbh this one is the most important thought of them all
(but that also explains why no one wants to give it more likes)
@Rextech472 see that's you and some people like the grind like myself I really like pulling for a new character n grind materials for them n primo grind is kinda fun for me too lol the thing is we all are different
The spanish part got me good 😂 Fantastic translation effort. Also, Citlali's hips??? What an answer 😂
Please do more of these!! It was really enjoyable getting the opinions of people who are literally just playing the game lol ✨️
I do have over 3000 hours in genshin and I still enjoy playing a lot daily. I just stay away from other players and internet discourse bc I clearly do not see eye to eye with some of the people. Happiness and satisfaction to the game increases when you play alone/with friends.
as someone whose first language is spanish that conversation was hilarious to see LMAO the poor guy was so confused XD although ngl your spanish is not that bad, keep that up, JavaLaTaza (?) (also, 'bno' is a short way to say 'bueno' which is like 'okay' in that context)
I imagine it's difficult when the entire loop of the game is playing, get to the end or get 5* artifacts, waiting for something that feels meaningful to do, or hoping they fix obvious issues or improve systems in the game. Something to make your experience of the game feel unique, or something that feels fulfilling or earned.
Well i mean it is more of a story based game
@Light.Of.Kshahrewar2.0 but there's usually a several month long story drought between Archon Quests and whatever Dainsleif is up to.
@Light.Of.Kshahrewar2.0 People always say this but the story is bloated to high heavens at times, with NPCs or Paimon taking the light far longer than the few cutscenes or cool character moments. Maybe a lore based game more than story, the lore is compelling but requires going out of your way for it.
@@jetkirby3981 it's not bloated, you just have no experience in older RPGs, especially games like the old FF or similar games.
Every ongoing famous Gacha game is like this. There is not much to do in Wuwa, Star Rail, ZZZ either.
"Bno" is like a short way to write "Bueno" which means okay or good!
As someone who has a spanish class I completely relate to the whole spanish bit 10/10 effort
i think taking a break might help a lot of players, it helped me at least (even though I missed event weapons and think it's a real joke that HSR and maybe ZZZ got an option to reobtain these before genshin)
what i find is that trying domains online is really not fun anymore. you go into the domain, no one picks healer but also no one does any fucking damage but then are so toxic. example: i blast all the enemies down to roughly 10% health in just a couple of seconds but then accidentally die because my hp ran low from Neuvilletes mechanic and all enemies sticking to my butt the entire fight. my team literally needed multiple minutes for the remaining 10% and then got toxic about me dying like.... don't complain if you can't pull your own weight and that's my main experience online, people just expect to be carried (i even tried to play heal and leave Neuvillete to others but these go even worse. it's so tiring)
9:30
As a professional kaveh fan its
Ca(as in chasCA)-Vay(as in bay)
Ca-vay
13:16 it's ayato ayaka venti and xiniqu cause of that 2.6 event (w the 240 day ayaka)
Ngl, I just started Natlan has been so cool! I could definitely see how older players could experience burn out. But I really like the story and have been enjoying working through the quests
I used to hate genshin, i simply took a 5 month break and I am enjoying it more then ever
I will take a 2 week break after 5.3 cuz I feel like that’s the only way I will have fun again
Same i used to be a hater even before the whole hate actually started. Like back before inazuma. Used to take a lot of break but the music in that game is what always make me come back. Then Fountain released and I havent stop playing since then.
Natlan is definitely my favorite region so far exploration wise (as a launch player sort of in and out of the game), it's the first one so far that's given me a good incentive to try and 100% all the zones and the map is genuinely really well made and nice to look at. Most of the hate definitely comes from people who aren't playing the game, or it definitely feels that way
As a genshin player for atleast 3 years, (going 3 on feb), I quite enjoy genshin but no longer grind anymore, I only do the archon quest since I'm always their for the lore and story, I will not quit until the end
I still personally enjoy genshin.But those that dont either having been playing since launch(which is understandable coz of burnout) or they are on Twitter
BRO YOUR SPANISH MADE ME CRY OUT OF LAUGHER
how bad is it?
@@McWriotheslayis not that bad but is hilarious
13:17 theyre ordered based on the event patches, the ayato one is 2.6 (irodori festival) and the eula one is 2.3 (susbedo dragonspine)
People arent not enjoying genshin, people are enjoying raging online at genshin because they have nothing better to do
My favorite character is Kokomi, but I don't have her yet because I just started in April and she hasn't appeared yet.
My currently favorite owned character is Navia, but Noelle was my OG main whom I still use on the other side of the abyss.
My favorite archon quest was Liyue [Yes I'm caught up to Natlan. I enjoyed Sumeru and Fontaine, but I think most people are honeymoon phasing on those regions and don't remember the beginning of the game as fondly as a result.] Liyue had interesting plot twists and I think getting to spend time with Zhongli was amazing. I think he's the archon you got to spend the most time with as friends and I enjoyed it a lot. The irony of helping him set up his own funeral was hilarious. Also, adepti are so cool of a concept and many Liyue characters are super memorable, like Shenhe and her epic cutscenes, and the Jade Chamber too! Ningguang got done dirty.
My opinion on Natlan is a bit mixed. I loved the exploration and colors of the region. Kachina won my heart. Ororon personality is sweet, but I don't like how Citlali yells at him and hits him randomly. The archon quest is alright, but the more we find out about Mavuika the more it ruins it for me. She's too perfect a character and was made just to be simped on. Out of all the archons, she has the least character development, and I don't just mean bc we haven't seen much yet. We've seen glimpses of her past and she just strikes me as Genshin Jesus. She's a "human" who happens to be perfect and wants to sacrifice herself to save the world. All the actual "god" archons are a hot mess, and she's just not relatable as a "human." I also feel like Genshin is afraid to lean into the hot-headed stereotype and Mavuika has the personality of an ice queen. She never loses her cool, even in tense situations and I find it off putting. I also don't like how the futuristic elements of other hoyo games are starting to bleed into Genshin and breaks the fantasy immersion.
As a whole I'd rate Genshin an 8.5/10. It's a game I started playing after getting hospitalized and it has been fun playing while recuperating. I've never played a game this consistently before and even though I'm running out of content [I have 1140 achievements and am mostly finishing up exploration with treasure compasses now], I still get excited to see what new things are coming up. Super psyched for Lantern Rite as this will be my first one.
A feature I'd like to see added; more hydro four stars! Fujin and Amina would be good contenders imo.
I try to avoid online discourse because when politics start bleeding into my entertainment, it sours my experience and ability to enjoy the game. I usually look at guides or content creators who make their own content and don't just jump on whatever trend train everyone else is on.
About Raiden Shogun: she was probably my least favorite archon personality wise. Lowkey wish we had gotten Makoto instead. She's pretty and my favorite color is purple but I don't like that you basically have to play as the puppet that suppressed an entire nation. If her voicelines were nicer then maybe. Also I was broke after Yelan banner and was saving for Kazuha so I skipped her. She has a cool spear, but I won't be spending on weapon banners until I have all the characters I want.
i like how this isn’t the only video where java has gotten confused about what a crystalfly trap is
not him not knowing what the crystalfly trap is XD
I've been playing since 2.1 I think? Raidens first banner. And I'm still enjoying myself.
I love doing the archon quests and major worldquests have been pretty awesome since Sumeru too. Ochkanatlan was awesome.
I dont think I've ever had burnout, but I'm also not on any social media and I don't play daily. I only logon when I actually feel like playing which is mostly on weekends and on average two to three days during the work week.
I have 100% map exploration since that is what I enjoy most besides quests. I also don't bother with endgame modes anymore. 36 stared once to get the achivement and then just stopped. I do chambers 9 to 11 if I feel like it and dont do chamber 12 or Imaginarium theater.
I don't really get the complaints that there is nothing to do. In my opinion there is a lot to do every patch and when that runs out you can play or do something else. I don't expect a game to keep me entertained 24/7 for the rest of my life and I frankly wouldn't want it to. When the content I enjoy in a patch runs out I take that as a sign to go read a book or something. There is enough to do in this game that when Wuthering Waves came out I noped out pretty soon after discovering that two open world gachas are just too much.
I haven’t been as active on the game as I used to, I just feel like needing a bit of a break cause of how much my passion for this game has been dwindling due to outside drama and also With the game itself sometimes as well
1. Favourite character for gameplay: Mualani
Favourite character for vibes: Beidou
Favourite character for story: Arlecchino
2. Favourite archon quest: Dainsleif in the Chasm, but I’m only halfway through Sumeru and haven’t done Fontaine yet so that might change (just started playing this past August).
3. Scale of 1-10, I would rate Genshin a 5 and an 8 simultaneously - I’ll get really involved and intrigued by a story beat, then get stuck immediately afterwards in an endless tedious cutscene or sidequest. Very uneven.
4. Wanted feature: a much better /easier way of finding uncompleted content / quests / challenges / objectives. The recent changes to treasure compasses are nowhere near enough.
5. Online discourse: I check youtube to keep up to date with the current discourse, but don’t participate. It’s hard,, though, because all the people complaining about motorcycles right now is insane to me since I’m in the middle of an archon quest where university profs steal everyone’s dreams through the internet. Somehow that’s a top 2 archon quest but a motorcycle breaks immersion?!?
6. Thoughts on Natlan: I like that it’s so compact and dense (especially compared to Sumeru, which is WAY too spread out). I’m perplexed at how many deep deep deep pits Natlan has just laying around
7. Thoughts on Raiden: I really like Ei as a character, but I find it weird that the character you pull for on banners is NOT Ei, but is the Raiden Shogun. Who is the robot. I was really disappoimted when I learned that I spent 82 wishes on a freaking tobot.
You get both the Raiden Shogun and Ei together. Sometimes Ei talks in certain voice lines and the teapot.
I started playing in May 2022 and have never missed a day since! Genshin Impact got me out of a very depressive phase in my life and I'll forever be thankful for that. I love this game so much; the beautiful world, the wonderful music, the amazing exploration, the story and especially the lore is great and I love my companions. I've also met some great co-op friends through this game. Some of them are day one players and still love the game too. Genshin Impact is just very popular and attracts a lot of negativity by default. Won't make me stop loving the game! 💕
Same experience
@@gianlucagiusti6174 😃💕
Yo, same. I started in 2021 with 2.1 and shit got me through some tough times. Genshin is prolly one of the only games I can't drop, because I love it so much!
When you started to talk spanish, I just couldn't stop laughing (Im from Argentina and I enjoyed this so much)
As an active Genshin player since launch day... no. No, I don't. At least not for the most part.
It's fun when I have a new character to fiddle around with, but after 3-4 days, that high subsides, and it's back to the daily grind, the misery of feeling obligated to waste 10 minutes of mandatory runs through artifact domains, the boredom of dealing with undercooked mingames for 5 more minutes on occasion, and the knowledge that it's not going to get better, because band-aid solutions sell better than permanent improvements.
It would be more fun if there was any amount of skill involved, but Genshin doesn't reward skill, it rewards monotonous optimization, which just relies on luck and persistence, not any modicum of ability. Sorry for being a jaded bastard, but I recognize that the sunken cost fallacy is the main reason I still bother with this game. I'm actively hoping for miHoYo to screw up big time, so I can finally bring myself to delete my account...
if the game is making you this miserable, there’s no reason for you to keep playing it. i’d recommend starting with a longer break (at least a week) from the game and seeing how that changes your mood. for this break, uninstall the game so you can’t click on it out of habit. if you feel better without the game, that’s your answer. as it stands right now it’s not healthy for you
I think you should just stop playing instead of force yourself.
Sometimes is for the best to not acting miserable like this comment, a bunch of people is having a lot of fun still and hoping for thing to get bad is just not a healthy mentally. The game maybe is just not for you anymore.
In my case as also someone who is really in very late game with a lot of characters and all my exploration already done, genshin is not chore but a routine that i like it and have fun when we have new stuff.
Mandatory Runs is sort of the problem It's weird when people create this illusion that you HAVE to engage with certain systems
You don't theres not real Vertical Progression and the complexity comes from you being unorthodox and you knowledge of the system
The optimization stuff is also extremely subjective for every opinion there's a counter point so what Genshin needs is not clear cut
But the game isn't going to morph into an experience you might like especially if it's one that rewards engaging with certain system like Artifacts
Its like if someone said they hate Genshin because it doesn't have PVP they might think it true but it's not a flaw of the game but an issue with how that player engages with Genshin
@@demonking-zm3rs For a f2p like me, daily grind is VERY mandatory. If I take longer breaks, I singificantly lower the odds of getting the characters I want, miss out on time-gated materials, and fall behind on keeping my characters on a level high enough to pass the DPS checks for other rewards. It's an insidious cycle, and I'm stuck in it.
My entire motivation to continue playing Genshin is to get characters I like and experience the main story. Because I like the story, even though it's not that good.
rewarding skil lwould no longer make it casual game and geshin is casual gacha game without the 97% casuals it would fall.
I've been enjoying the game way more in recent patches than I have done in a while, there is so much cool shit to do that just wasn't a thing back in the Mondstat days.
Been playing since 2022 and i think genshin is still fun! Took a break few months but still catch up to the latest archon quest. I love Raiden too, so i want her with Beidou works together in the future! Also i want that older event weapons exchange system of hsr to be implemented in genshin, cuz i missed a lot of it. I give genshin 8/10 cuz the power creep isn't that significant like most of gacha games, so i can clear any late game contents easily to fund my gambling addiction XD
I think Natlan's quest hasn't been bad (there's been some absolutely great moments), but it's been so disconnected from the rest of Teyvat. I understand that it's an isolated nation but usually those kind of nations are behind in technological advances, not massively ahead. And considering that people from other Nations can apparently just visit whenever, why hasn't their technology been brought to other nations? it's so weird to me that Fontaine has been considered the furthest in technological advances according to the lore so far and then we get into Natlan and it's like "Just kidding". I like Natlan, I like the characters, I like the design of the region, I LOVE the movement mechanics implemented into the characters (needed this since 1.1, honestly) but it just doesn't feel like i'm in Teyvat right now. Maybe that's intentional, I don't know. (I also have to admit, having sporadic voice acting is pulling me out of it as well)
Also if this massive world shattering war is going on, where the fall of Natlan could lead to the fall of Teyvat, then why exactly has no one been talking about it? I swear people of the world were more concerned about the flooding of Fontaine, which was region specific, rather then an unbeatable war against the abyss.
I think their lore justification is that the tech stuff runs on the special energy found only in Natlan. But that's lore... anyone with half a brain can create lore to justify anything. If they wanted to, they could make the entire Genshin world an experiment run by aliens in the next patch.
To be fair, natlan is supposed to feel disconnected from Teyvat. Especially since we never heard anything about it from before and we’ve never seen any npc. It’s supposed to feel isolated
In the flower feather clan quest, they show that. Not only does switching EVERYDAY life to tech (flying with tech instead of saurians, etc) actively erase their culture and identity of the tribes as well as their relationship with the saurians, mass training everyone to properly control this tech is a big issue. Since there's no prior generations to learn from, there are many issues unknown to them which can go wrong, and, in war, there isn't really space for mistakes. Fontaine IS the most technologically advanced, Natlan is just also advanced in different ways. Chasca's flying gun isn't even a flying gun. It's just an oversized gun she makes fly using anemo and controls with her reins. Only Mavuika's bike and Kinich's pixels can be argued against, and the bike is shown to have had its blueprints found by Mavuika and Xilonen made many adjustments. A bike being for a dragon doesn't seem so far fetched now as, of course we've known they have advanced tech, but "dragon" is a very wide title and applies to many. Och Kan, for example, was about human sized.
Also, in Citlali's story quest, that issue is also tackled. A man from Fontaine is upset because the Masters Of The Night Wind invented something before him so he couldn't take credit, and his thoughts were basically, "How is this nation even capable of innovation? This backwards place shouldn't have been able to create something like this in the first place!" which is a common misconception about tribal areas in real life as well in addition to poorer countries.
As for why many others aren't worried, no idea. Maybe a whole nation being flooded will have impact on other nations. Natlan is kinda separated by a sea anyways so even if it went to the dumps, the abyss stuff stays there. Don't think foreigners want to get involved in a constant abyss fight anyways. Capitano helping shows that they can CHOOSE to, they just don't want to.
Genshin isn't bad, but it's definitely flawed. While some stories are interesting, they are also repeating. You go in looking for your sibling, you help the nation, and then you don't have any clues from the Archon. I think the most interesting part is the Fatui part. And before someone says something, I've been playing before Inazuma came out. I believe it around the time Barbara and Jean had their skin. So far, Sumeru and Fontaine have been the most interesting to me, and I think a lot of people agree it is. Although I do wish we could go back to the Inazuma Traveler where they were most expressive more annoyed.
But mostly, it's not bad but deeply flawed, but I feel like the people constantly call Genshin the best game refuse to acknowledge its flaws
Hoyoverse definitely needs to do better, especially when it comes to using other cultures, especially when China would be just as upset if America or any other country misused theirs
if only there were other quests besides Archon Quests, something like idk... world quests?? Or maybe if Genshin added more flagship events besides the ones that come out every version?
@rabitahmazumder2143 I know there's other quests and I play those too but I'm mainly talking on the ones that's usually promoted aka the Archon Quest. Granted I also wished they put in a function to where it helps unlock certain world quests that's locked by Daily Commissions
If I recall right, the quest where you actually meet with your sibling is after the Inazuma quest, where your goal changes from finding your sibling to traveling the world and finding the hidden truth alluded to by your sibling. That's why the traveller chilled out after that and isn't as focused on the sibling anymore, but on uncovering the truth of the world so that he can understand why the sibling sided with the abyss order.
okay what you said quite right thing ...but why you only found interesting fontaine and sumeru archon quest can you explain me ...??
I got an ad before the video so I'm crying and I'm late.
A wonderful video, a fresh take on Genshin content that I haven't seen ever!
I feel like interviewing people who are still playing will obviously give you very skewed results as if you dont enjoy a game you quit like I did
You did really good with the Spanish questions don't worry😆It was only the feature question that was kinda funny because "featuro" means nothing in Spanish haha
Dont mind me but im gonna answer the questions as well just to see something.
1. Fav chara(s): Kaveh, Zhongli, Barbara, Scara, Wrio, Xingqiu, Columbina
2. Fav AQ: Fontaine bc i rejoined around summer event in sumeru and started playing more regularly when they released Fontaine.
3. Opinion on Natlan: the AQ was good(not bad not great, just good enough), the exploration not so much bc i hate to switch to those saurians whenever i have to climb/swim/fly but if i dont i better get the charas which i don't like much design wise outside maybe Mualani and Kinich(still wishing they got darker skin tho)
4. Rate genshin 1-10: solid 6(bc i like number 6 and its still past half the point so i like some and dont like some)
5. Hoping for added feature: i really want them to add easier system to get artifacts that I want... I hate farming them over and over and over so I just gave up in order to preserve my mental health
6. Engaging in online discourse: once in a while(bc I love reading other people's opinions to form mine in the first place)
7. Raiden Shogun: she's cool- tho I love her son more
I'm going to answer these questions myself, it'll just be my opinion.
1. Favorite character... Right now, probably Furina. I mean, self explanataory honestly. Although Neuvillette, Alhaitham, and Klee also rank fairly high up.
2. Favorite AQ? I know a lot of people said it, but Fontaine. I think Sumeru was also really well done, but if I had to chose, definitely Fontaine. I just hope Natlan drops more lore bombs because we are quite literally almost at the final nation and the game still kind of refuses to give us some more details + tons of other map releases, will we even be finished by then?
3. My opinion on Natlan. for the most part, positive. I enjoy it a lot, I think it's definitely up there with the other nations, and other characters I initially didn't care much for, grew on me, such as Chasca.
4.. I'd say... 8.5 I've had fun, I have had more fun in fontaine as that was the only region I got to 100% exploration (every other one was like 60-80%, Havent touched chenyu or natlan, mostly because I don't have as much time anymore and I'd like to play other games. Not because I don't want to or dont find them fun.)
5. Resin bank, increased resin and recharge rate, and new forms of endgame content that isn't just "Lets buff max hp to enemies". Because at that point, you're just making it a unbeliavable dps check that might be dependant on character constellations, even as someone with good builds overall. Tough to balance and make interesting at the same time, and accessable for most players with decently invested accounts. I don't play much open world like genshin, so I don't know how they would do that.
6. I UNFORTUNATELY do interact with the discourse. Especially on twitter. Ew. I hate the discorse there. A lot of people are hypocritical when coming to representation and end up making designs that are uninformed because they believe they know the best decisions, other people just care way too much. Me personally, I don't care much for fictional characters on a screen. Do I agree that some characters should have different designs like Chasca or Ororon? Yes. Do I agree that they should have made more dark skinned characters? Yes. Do I agree that they should expand the variety for character models besides npcs? Yes! There is a lot of valid criticism across the game that I agree with, but I'm not going to harass artists or other people simply for enjoying the game and get likes on twitter because "I fixed your character" with a black edit or anything along the lines of that. I just dont agree with "raceswapping" as a whole... If it's wrong for one side, it's wrong for the other. And to me the whole, made out of love and made out of hate argument makes no sense. Also, those "boycotters" really tryna be talking when they still give money to other hoyo games and still play the game LMAO 😭 That's not how a effective boycott works... Going "f2p only" has not hurt hoyo at all. It's all the same company making different games profiting off of us... In general, I don't like the hoyo community, star rail players feel enttitled and shill the game too much not recognizing problems, genshin players are stupid, etc etc.
7. I like the shogun, she has good lore and is a genuinely interesting character who will play an important role into the story later. As an Archon, even if she was my least favorite, I Still liked her... Will I ever pull for her? No... I won't. But, sometimes is good to just admire a character for what they bring to the table. I know she is a controversial character with how people view her, but I personally believe that she acted in the best faith for her nation. I mean, she did see what happened if a nation strides too far... She just wanted to prevent that with what she thought was right and wouldnt trigger the heavenly principles.
Again! My opinion, if you disagree, that's completely fine. I'm not stopping you. The community still has amazing talent and I wish people could just enjoy the game for the positive things, all while providing real valid criticism that can improve the game. Criticism is necessary for something to improve.
Please make this a series PLEASE!!!!!!!
Hope you conduct more interviews regularly, the Steambird needs you!!
Depends on who you ask, if you ask those who are still playing, they'll say they like it. If you don't like it, you'd probably have a negative comment on it. And it ranges from less male characters, natlan story feels kinda slow, or mavuika's mechanic was just not worth it. Me personally, i think genshin is still great, i wish we get to sneznyiah, but the devs are literally stalling us at this point. Hoyo better at least promise a sub region is going to be worth it to even have it's own chapter otherwise it's a major turn off, especially the upcoming characters are just not worth it.
Not my concern really since there are alternatives now with wuwa, ananta and more to take genshin's place.
