gently caress me sideways, I'm being a slightly coy here, but with the announcement that the Labyrinth dungeon thingy is apparently beginning tomorrow can they give this guy a bit of a break here. :lol: It's looking like I'm going to be able to polish off the rest of Inazuma Act III tonight at least since as far as I can tell I'm hitting the climax and about to confront Raiden Shogun again and try to expose the conspiracy so I was kind of looking forward to for once hopefully being able to just polish off the current event and be caught up on time limited stuff, but apparently now it's gonna overlap and I'm probably going to have to make my way out to Tsurumi post haste assuming it starts on that island.

Much more effective than gacha banners (which only updated every 3 weeks anyway), it's the frequent turn over of time limited events that is the addictive FOMO factor for me so like congrats Mihoyo, you got me at least for now. :golfclap: :rolleyes:

Seriously though anyone that argues this game lacks content and stuff to do must be trolling from my perspective cause it's the exact opposite problem for me with the pace of time limited events, almost all of which are slightly different in concept and actually require you to do more than click a couple times every few minutes and toggle a setting to auto-battle.

At least things aren't too dicey with the banners atm with 2.2, but I kind of expect it to get that way afterward looking at what's potentially down the line. Hu Tao for the rerun seems like it's probably going to be the focus for most people for this patch, but then after that there's the very real potential for Itto, Shenhe, Yunjin and Yae to come in rapid succession and if their cards right with them with their trailers (and they probably will) then they all kind of come across as winners. Itto looks like a super fun character personality wise from the leaks and I still see female players ending up head over heels for the guy. Shenhe could be Cloud Retainer and very much has a "type" appeal for a lot of players, Yunjin has that Red Eyes/Hime Cut appearance (my type appeal at least visually admittedly) and Yae is well...Yae. I really don't want to think about it :stonk:

Now that I think of it Thoma is supposed to be on the Hu Tao banner and Gorou and possibly his mother are coming into play at some point so so like this is it....this is effectively the "lull" in the banners for the next 12 days or how much is left of Childe's rerun. Again gently caress me sideways......

I really hate the rhythm game. It doesn't match the music, and you have to click at times that are not intuitive.

Sanganomiya pro matched pretty close to perfectly. Expert was the one that had notes that started on beat 2 when they normally started on beat 1.

IIRC the music in GI was recorded with a live orchestra, and in those situations a conductor is going to take liberties with the tempo now and again. While this makes for a much better performance, it sucks for rhythm games. The one with Keqing in particular was really pronounced.

But now would be good.

Just be a sicko like me and play the entire game without sound, and these rhythm games are a whole lot easier when the rhythm is (apparently) off.

Rhythm games also have a tendency to stuggle with templating grace notes which are used frequently in Genshin's soundtrack, notably the Sangonomiya soundtrack out of the ones that have appeared so far (I haven't seen todays yet, so I can't make a judgement on it).

You will likely only need to be finished with the archon quest to begin the new event (just like with the rhythm game event going on right now), as it contains a continuation to events included in the Archon quest.

She does speak! But only in the voiceline-playback thingy in the character details menu.
There's a bunch of dialogues with paimon, unlike every other character who only has solo voicelines there.
