Inazuma lol. Map is HUGE now lol
ahh man you left before Sumeru! Damn, son then you have plenty of content to catch up on.

I started playing in the middle of Sumeru, and I'll warn you now. The main World quests for that region might be the most confusing and exhausting quests of the entire game. Fontaine and Natlan are way more linear and streamlined. Natlan even more so, the developers changed their design philosophy. They focused on smaller maps with more content instead of larger terrain and unnecessary bloat.

Yeah I forgot how much dialog is in this game. Like damn give nikkas an option to skip at least :heh:

I like the Natlan characters though. they did a hell of a job making navigating thru the world much more fun

After the snoozefest that was Natlan, I expect version 6.X to bring the heat.

Varka looks dope :ehh:

Character designs in the trailer to me are already an improvement over Natlan

Natlan was weird - so many things about it felt incongruous to me - and that’s even with me ignoring it being the america/south america/africa region and the only melanated characters are npc’s :mjpls: and i guess Iansan

Saurian movement doesn’t feel good because they wanted to sell you the upgraded version with the characters - speaking about that - they gave you characters with movement mechanics but went a bunch of versions without new areas to explore/their content pipeline was the worst during Natlan, the designs were all over the place and immersion breaking, pyro nation with only one pyro unit, etc

Nod Krai already seems to have a better balance of units and seems the story will actually be interesting :ehh:

Yea Natlan really let me down. I only grabbed Xilonen and Mavuika (C2). Every other unit just looked silly and their movesets were clunky as hell (like Kinich, Mualani, Varesa). I wonder when they're going to officially introduce the new Dendro/Cryo reaction, "Rime-grass"

Mavuika type crazy. She just nukes every boss out of existence :mjlol:

edit - forgot to say I did manage to get her weapon

First Archon I managed to get. :wow: And I'm a Day One.



Alice. :wow:

This new era is about to be crazy. Finally we're getting more Teyvat lore and not crumbs since Sumeru.

Which is ironic because people would call Inazuma trash. :pachaha: I liked it though. The atmosphere is something else.
I hadn't been seeing what places they liked disliked... What places did they like? Boring ass Mondstadt and Sumeru?

Inazuma was fun and the last land I didn't have auto play on Genshin's endless dialogue while cleaning my house.

Nah Sumeru was without a doubt the most convoluted, drawn out chapter of the Genshin. Inazuma is a bunch of islands that's why folks were hating on that.

Got a feeling Nod Krai gone have the same dreary vibe as Enkanomiya except with people.
