If Klee and Yoimiya don't blow something up in the final quest of this event I will be furious.

A new soundtrack came out today out of nowhere! It has more of the Inazuma music including Senkai, Tsurumi and Watatsumi islands and Enkanomiya! Most importantly it has this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1sMzuC4Yza0 Mix. posted:Ive always liked the story in these events so Ive never understood the complaint that theres too much story It's not too much story, just too many

Don't get between mushroom man and his mushroom meats    Glad I waited until next weapon banner was leaked before wishing on this current one. 1 year in seems like the point where you get silly ideas like wishing on a weapon banner for some saucy hot favonius weapons and maybe a mistsplitter who knows. Any 5* that's not skyward spine would be excellent.

While I would not turn my nose at the quantity of words being compressed into a denser cube of higher quality, I'm appreciating what's here already, because there's definitely no reason you'll ever see Albedo and Yae Miko interacting with each other for another 16 months. Sanctum posted:
Just be like me and do the weapon banner for those sweet juicy 4* weapons that they can't cheat you out of. If you happen to get a 5* that you'll use then, score! Still can't believe I got Eula's sword. That was back on the first banner before they gave you a way to target which one you wanted too.

I will mention sumeru is coming up and we're likely to get at least 4 back to back banners after 2.8 (4 months from now). So while to me this is a super fun weapon banner keep an eye out for your stash.

I spent my entire hoard getting Yae, Kagura's Verity for Yae, and Ayato. And I've switched from being a tiny dolphin to F2P. My fate will be up to the whims of RNG for awhile.

I think the hardest content in the game is the hangouts. Has anyone here unlocked them and finished them all? I have 3 1/2 left.

They're brutal. I've done them all because if I didnt I would dread doing them. I've enjoyed maybe two endings out of all of them (Diona's funny ending and one of Bennett's). I know some people like them.

I was going to say that I liked the more recent hangouts before remembering that Ningguang and Beidou’s actually made them like them less.

Mix. posted:Ive always liked the story in these events so Ive never understood the complaint that theres too much story Same. It's a breath of fresh air compared to just grinding the same 4+4, 3+3+3 quests every day/week. I could do 3 very talky festivals back to back and it still wouldn't compare to that month's genshin grind of dailies and weeklies. It's nice being able to take in the scenery and remember old areas I explored. Even the quests where you are just running political notes back and forth do a nice job of coloring in the differences between societies and cultures in various regions. The recent political drama in Inazuma feels different than the scheming of scammers and ambitious merchants in Liyue. They both care about face and etiquette, but the Inazuman people's focus on propriety casts things in a different light. Even when you zoom in to the level of the little farming village with all the retired people with a buried magitek dungeon nearby, the character of life feels distinct. EDIT Hikachu posted:I was going to say that I liked the more recent hangouts before remembering that Ningguang and Beidou’s actually made them like them less. I seem to remember being a little troubled by the quest where you and Beidou are collecting jade chamber bits and some treasure hoarders ask for a token payment for their work gathering a bunch of the stuff up. Seemed pretty nasty to laugh and beat them up when they weren't actually standing in our way at all. Sure, this lady is a pirate working for a billionaire, but I'd hope the traveler would at least have a token "don't be a jerk" dialog choice. avoraciopoctules fucked around with this message at 18:29 on Apr 13, 2022 |

It would be fine if the dialogue didn't run around in circles for 10 minutes to say something that could be condensed into like 5 minutes or less. There's a lot of meandering and flavorless prose. The actual story content is usually cool and fun but it's so drat dense to get to the point a lot of the time.

i'm just going to start some of them tonight because my issue with Noelle was entirely the annoying romantic undercurrent they want to put in some of the paths, and she's not a particularly engaging character otherwise. i don't imagine there's as much room to do that with other characters but they could always unpleasantly surprise me

I do the hangouts the second they're available because I don't want them piling up. Some of them are fun but I don't expect them to be.

I usually put the hangouts off until I feel like paying a bit more attention. They're a day off kinda thing, not a lunchbreak or de-stressing from work kinda thing. Definitely looking forward to Gorou, I saw some fun spoilers about that one on Twitter. I think I'm sitting on about 6 hangouts undone, but there's a decent chance I'll clear 2-3 once I get around to exploring inside the Chasm. They've been fun so far. I was particularly impressed that they made an exception to the reward structure in Diona's so you don't actually have to do the stealth section if you just want 100% of the rewards. I still finished it, was a neat little diversion while I caught up on my video essays, but I do appreciate the gesture.

padijun posted:the one nice thing about hangouts is paimon usually isn't involved Agreed. We need more content where Paimon's presence doesn't render the MC's existence superflous. I'm not a game designer so I might be missing something obvious, but I don't get the logic behind having a main character that has no personality and also no way for you to project your own personality through them (in a way that the game responds to), while simultaneously having an NPC character there who only exists to do all the interacting and personality projection that in most games the MC (and/or player) does. Like I can see a use case for a silent protagonist even if I don't like them much, but I think the whole point is defeated when you instead replace it with an omnipresent loudmouth NPC who does nothing but talk all day.

Hangouts are the thing I'm furthest behind on cause I admit they dont entirely do it for me. In Japan they dont even make pretense of it and just call them date events. Some are a bit amusing like the Noelle one, others like Chongyun I'm not so sure.No Wave posted:I hate reading... your posts. I hate reading posts that contain no content like yours or stare-outs.

If the Traveler gets cutscene KOed in the next region and the game transitions fully into the Paimon power hour, I don't think I'd mind. Would definitely create some writing challenges with the earlier content, though. I expect the traveler is here to stay.
