One minor issue I have is that I do find the plot a bit harder to follow than Genshin's was. Genshin's main story is generally very straight-forward and introduces things to you pretty gradually, while this suddenly thrusts you into a scifi setting. I don't really have a firm grasp of the broader setting here, while in Genshin I could pretty quickly grasp "it's just a world with countries, and each country is lead/represented by a an elemental god (and there's probably other stuff going on, but it's not directly relevant to the plot yet)." I feel like this actually would have benefited from a straight lore-dump cutscene at the very beginning of the game.

Well I got some very lucky pulls; I got Welt (who is not what I wanted from the standard banner but my second choice isn't bad) on the second pull, plusServal and Pela (both of whom I like and want to use) in the first two pulls of the beginner banner, and my first 10 pull on Seele's banner for 4 stars ended up getting me Seele (and Arlan I guess). So that's nice. This game is very funny by the way. It's a lot more fun to dunk on March as compared to Paimon since she seems like an actual adult instead of a baby gremlin, and whoever is in charge of writing the incidental dialogue...well, I just hope they're okay. Also my icon is of a trash can, which is great. My two problems so far is that I haven't found how to turn off random strangers friending me yet and everyone only seems to have one set of combat lines which gets old fast.

It definitely has a real bad case of the Proper Nouns, but I sorta feel like they're just leaning on you being an "amnesiac" in their reluctance to actually explain anything. I hope this comes out for PS4/5 sooner rather than later — it feels a lot like the UI is getting in the way of itself, and I'm hoping this is just because I don't have a huge phone, and not that someone genuinely thinks it's good design to make you have to carefully avoid hitting some other button to hit another one. Thankfully, this has only felt especially bad in the character trials, so it's not too terrible. Mostly it's just got that classic onscreen controls shittiness, and there's not much of a way around that beyond supporting controllers (which doesn't seem to be an option?)

Did they do what they did in Genshin, and rather than needing to do a 10 pull all at once for the guaranteed 4-star, it just keeps a running count of how many pulls you've done?

also thinking about it heres the 3* lightcones that might be worth keeping max duped/actually leveling at some point: Abundance Multiplication: When the equipped character uses their basic attack, their turn advances forward by 24%. This actually seems pretty alright? Since it's on healers they can just be basic attack spambots when everyone is healthy and they'll get more turns so they're more likely to be able to heal in time when it matters. Definitely keeping one of these around. Destruction Mutual Demise: Increases wearer's crit rate by 28% when under 80% max HP. Pretty low bar to clear and it's extremely good on Arlan since his gimmick is being a berserker anyway. If we ever get a 5* equivalent to Arlan it'd also be very much worth considering. Erudition Pass Key: Gives the wearer 16 energy when they use their skill, once per turn. If a character's really energy hungry this seems alright. Harmony Meshing Cogs: Gives the wearer 8 energy when they attack or get hit. Same logic as Pass Key. If we ever get a tanky harmony character, a character throwing a taunt onto them could make this really solid. all the Hunt ones seem kinda eh. Nihility Hidden Shadow: When you use a skill on an enemy, they'll take 120% extra damage next time you basic attack them. Any Nihility character that has a skill/attack/skill/attack rotation could actually make really good use of this. Preservation Amber: Just a massive defense boost, and then an even bigger one below half HP. Obviously useful for tanking.

When do you get whatever this game's equivalent of "XP item grinding levels" is? I'm guessing I should be sorta close. I just did the metaverse introduction stuff.

Decided to give this a shot against my better judgment even though I just recently put down Genshin. It's neat so far at least, I do like it being turn-based so it's less of a keyboard piano than Genshin can be. Game is pretty and has lots of style too. My 5* from the beginner banner ended up being

Are you able to return to the first area later? I see the big level 11 enemy and I do not have a healer yet, and I hestitate to pump up my current characters, not to mention that the required character is taking up a slot that probably be better served by another character for that particular fight.

I managed it just fine the first time around, the only person who I leveled up was the spear guy, because the game forced me to. It's not too difficult, and the trial character helped trivialize it. I'm not terribly much further than you are, but I'm still hanging out in that space station, and there's no way they're not letting you come back, since the map's helpfully pointing out how many chests I've not opened (presumably all in areas it wouldn't let me go to). Hell, it was probably worthwhile to fight it and get some levels for doing so. e: ↓ They're plainly 3 different choices, that's fine.

Does the beginner banner guarantee a 5*? Edit: By the time you finish it off anyways; obviously not in the first 10-pull since I've done 3 so far.

Endorph posted:You can only do 50 pulls on it, and you're guaranteed a 5* on your 50th pull if you haven't gotten one from it already. If you get one before then, you can still do all your pulls on it, but you aren't guaranteed another one at the end. Ah, nice. That's good to know.

My gacha luck with Mihoyo continues to be terrible as I pull the one character I was the least interested in from my beginner banner (Gepard). At least he seems solid in terms of mechanics? In better news this game is actually very funny. I greatly enjoy how much of an absolute weirdo the Trailblazer is in the flavor dialogue for interacting with stuff.

Gepard is decent it's just that he's March 7th but with less damage and more shielding, and for the difficulty of story content March 7th's shielding is enough.

I think the setting helps. It being sci fi means characters are allowed to be more..Modern? and like, silly in that sense, instead of a more stuffy high fantasy atmosphere.

I'd play the hell out of this game if it was a normal rear end single player RPG. As gacha/service it's gonna end up debatable for the same reasons I ultimately mostly quit Genshin. For now, though, having lots of fun with it and really enjoying the setting and vibe. Gameplay feels great. I've gotten Hook E1 and Sushang so far and both of them seem pretty strong!

I got Clara instead of Welt, who I was more excited for. I am (begrudgingly) enjoying this small girl and her giant robot buddy, however - it helps that I really like counter-focused battle styles. The only other character I've gotten from the gacha is an Asta dupe. Other than that it's just cones, cones, cones.

I got Himeko in my first ten warps, which I guess is pretty lucky in terms of not wasting warps, but not a character I'm particularly excited about since fire was already covered.
