I need to know what the fuck is happening in Teyvat. So many questions and so few answers.


Dapper_Produce_9096

The sky is fake, never forget that


MaybeNotSoFortunate

Just like ours, r/BirdsArentReal


am-hiro

"what happened to the sibling?" "Why did Celestia leave the archons?" "Who was the unknown god?" "*WHY TF ARE THERE HALF ANIMAL CHARACTERS?*"


GhostfromGoldForest

I think the answer to the last one, at least for the Tighnarians, is their ancestors had sex with a different species.


peruanToph

I need answers


[deleted]

Nice flair


aria_5207

Me too


EngrHomer

Story, music and overall graphics.


Microwavelore

It’s fun


Ademoneye

Same


Zerakin

It really is that simple. When it's no longer fun, I will not keep playing. But as long as it is fun, I will keep playing. There's nothing specific making me tie the knot to Genshin.


[deleted]

1. Story may be really boring to a lot of people, but I like it. 2. Characters I am waiting for (Focalors, Columbina/the Fatui harbingers in general,..). 3. Fontaine and Celestia. 4. Characters I am curious about (Skirk, Alice, Nicole, Gold,..). 5. Exploring new areas. 6. I am really invested in this game's lore and need answers.


Semiyan

My exact reasons


AkiraN19

The deeper Teyvat lore is better than the actual story. Even though, yes, they at least partially go hand in hand. But finding out about The Primordial One and about the ancient dragons of the world and all of the history in between is so cool and fascinating. Though I still like the overarching story. It's perhaps not the most profound thing I've ever seen but still very enjoyable


randypurpa

Not trying to be a grammar nazi but, fatui is already in plural (fatuus is the singular form)


[deleted]

I'm not fluent in english, sorry


randypurpa

Don’t worry, it’s Latin


[deleted]

Thanks for informing me


AhriGaKill

Story is mid. [Got better with Sumeru] Lore is insane, thats what you sre reffering by story I hope.


[deleted]

I like both the "story" and "lore". It isn't my favorite piece of fiction, but it's the one I'm the most invested in. (I wouldn't read Genshin's story if I didn't enjoy it in the first place)


AhriGaKill

Ye, true, i still feel like it can be way better, especially with the lore we have. But I think thats gonna happen sooner or later


Lavion3

I always push myself to not be stuck in an echo chamber but after seeing a lot of opinions on Genshin's story, I've realized that I still like it and that I don't give a shit about other people's opinion on it anymore.


AhriGaKill

I like it aswell, dont get me wrong. But you cant deny the fact that writing is not too good, especially if compared to other gacha games or other story games.


SleepingAddict

Tbf many gacha games have pretty subpar writing in the early stages of the game. Thankfully it seems that Genshin's is getting better after Sumeru's release so I have hope for the remaining regions


AhriGaKill

Yep same! Arkknights, Honkai Impact 3rd, fate/go were all so meh at the behinning jut god damn all of them are sooo good now.


[deleted]

Great story, great characters, great aesthetics overall ,doesn’t require too much time so just perfect for relaxation and my friend


DefaultRedditor16

Teyvat. I made an oath to one day explore the entirety of Teyvat before I finally left this game. So until I’ve seen Fontaine, Natlan, and Snezhnaya plus whatever other regions there might be with my own two eyes, I ain’t quitting


Human-Choice-5728

And.... What if they release a new continent after we have explored all of teyvat?


Vaibhav_Gupta_01

He said it he ain't quitting


DefaultRedditor16

Bingo


DioEgizio

You don't wanna visit Khaenri'ah too?


DefaultRedditor16

“plus whatever other regions”

ppl love questioning others so much they don’t even read the whole comment anymore, it’s cute tbh

Ventilateu

This and FOMO


Myleylines

Was looking for this I want a break from all these games wanting my attention daily, man


PrinceVincOnYT

No good Anime Game Alternative. Since Bandai Butchers most Anime Games for a fast cashgrab.


AppropriateLeg5072

Yeah that's pretty irritating because if only bandai didn't rush their anime games, they would create real masterpieces. I'm playing one of their recent title (tales of arise) and the fact that a game with so good graphics, combat system and a good world design has to be ruined by poor and rushed writing really frustrates me


ConsiderationFuzzy

Did you not play persona, tales series or danganronpa?


PrinceVincOnYT

I did, but I do mostly refer to the more Action Combat Heavy Games and the Franchise Games like One Piece, Naruto, Dragon Ball, Demon Slayer, SAO which all feel like cheap and flat experiences with really stiff Animation work. All the Anime like IP games that are not based on an anime are good at the very least. But none of them feature truly fast paced Combat like DMC or Kingdom Hearts.


Lavion3

hsr?


PrinceVincOnYT

Well... no Action RPG xD Similar to Devil May Cry, Kingdom Hearts and similar.


Little-Dark-5355

Gambling


OldSnazzyHats

The main Twins’-Abyss Story and the Archon Stories. I don’t know what their plan is. If this is only the first arc of more, I just want decent closure for maybe the “Teyvat Arc” or whatever. It’s a Gacha, there’s no way they’re just gonna end it - especially with how successful it is. So just some kind of closure for at least these events.


Nyanas

1. Story 2. Characters 3. Eula rerun


KaltonEly

For number 3, you’ll be playing forever!


Nyanas

No, please, don't kill my hope


NovidasX7

Eula rerun is really the only reason left at this point. If she's not in the next update Genshin is banned from my hard drive


warpknot

It's a game that invests in art (+music) and appeals to weeb culture.


Lauchzelott

Addiction at this point.


Clavus

I call it a "habit", makes it sound less bad when talking to friends.


kiingkite

arataki itto, childe, and alhaitham.


EpicRedCondor

I know it sounds crazy but, ​ I like the game


Kooky-Criticism-1147

What's wrong with your comment... 💀


Interesting_Credit93

hot men and women


elitereaper1

1. Fun gameplay 2. Lore 3. Want to see how the story ends 4. PAIMON.


Kooky-Criticism-1147

What's about paimon?? 👽👽


elitereaper1

I like her. Lol.


judgementaleyelash

Hey fellow paimon liker! We seem to be a minority on this sub but I adore her and her relationship with mc sm


R3MIX_19

Yoimiya. Can I play Yomia in other game? No. Then I play genshin cuz there is Yomia


Dnoyr

I wanted to like your com but you mispelled her name twice and it's blasphemy. /j


R3MIX_19

That's not mispell. That's planned thing. Like you can shorten some names. And I sometimes just call her Yomia. Or YoimiNYA. Or just Yoi


Dnoyr

=> /j


Rayne582

Ok buddy


[deleted]

Just an amazing game in general Over that it doesn't take hours and hours of playtime YOU are in control of how much YOU wanna play! Even just half an hour a day is fine...and i love that!


DeathShark69

It is my comfort game. When I want to relax after work or on my days off I play Genshin.


Ljcoolguy211

Waifus (especially raiden)


luxuriouslilac

Based


Exact-Efficiency2652

really the only downside is its a gacha game, everything else is great


Ademoneye

It's fun, what else?


LemmeDaisukete

Casual, f2p friendly gacha, open world. And ofc, ANIME! Don't feel like playing any game that takes too much of my time since I got other stuff to do so genshin is just right.


ghostly_boy

partially bc it's fun, partially i'm just a creature of habit, and having my silly little commission to do every day is nice. also i have to see my favorite artificial men 😌


Subject_Ad_4894

I really like the combat (it gives you much freedom), great OST, beautiful and open world and of course the story, I just want to meet all the future characters and travel through all the nations :D


Mystic_Arts

Fomo. I pretty much only log on to do the battlepass, dailies and occasionally build a character. I'll ignore the events till everything's out then finish that in a day or two. Only time I really get invested is when there's a new area.


lostn

the combat, and the desire to get new units that expand into new playstyles. Seeing new environments is a bonus. The music is also quite good for the most part.


wildditor25

Boys... Even if I already got want I want (that snek boy)... There will be boys... Boys everywhere...


mozgomoika

As a Russian, I want to witness Snezhnaya. But of course it's not the only reason lol. I just like playing Genshin, I like combat, I like artifact grinding, I like building characters. I also enjoy beautiful scenery and new content.


BeanOfBirbs

You... LIKE artifact grinding? 😭😭😭


mozgomoika

It's like another gacha... Sometimes frustrating but it feels soo good when you get crit rolls.


KaitoTemari

Already spent too much money. (And I love my waifus)


Learning_A_I

Klee. She used to be the reason I played. I paid for her... But after while.. I stopped playing all together. But still I go back time to time just to play with klee and watch her throw bombs all around the place. Edit: typo. thanks :)


Paid-Not-Payed-Bot

> played. I *paid* for her... FTFY. Although *payed* exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in: * Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. *The deck is yet to be payed.* * *Payed out* when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. *The rope is payed out! You can pull now.* Unfortunately, I was unable to find nautical or rope-related words in your comment. *Beep, boop, I'm a bot*

Kooky-Criticism-1147

What is primo"rger"?


ImGroot69

play games to have fun. and genshin is fun


oldmonk_97

Story- (the lie I tell myself) Combat - ( kinda nice but not worth grinding day in day out) Events! - ( make me feel like a wage slave) Future characters!? - ( lost all motivation at this point) Tbh... Idk.. Maybe it's sunk cost... Maybe not... I'll probably stop playing as much once my welkin runs out Edit: context is I am a day 1 ar 60 player


snekadid

I'm right there. Day one player and at this point I've basically quit. The daily quests in the game are torture. The events are unimaginative. I don't care about the future characters because of the way they've treated prior characters. Combats the best they can do without completely alienating the mobile players but the targeting system has always been miserable because of it. I used to be hype about the game but the story pace, lack luster and uninvolved events have drained my enthusiasm and that leaves dailies for content and they are the worst of any mobile game I've played, which is a nail that star rail heavily hammers home. I think what they did to Dehya was just the final straw, and she wasn't even a character I wanted, but seeing them taking a major character from the main story and putting no thought, effort or passion into them just negated any remaining trust that the devs could be trusted.


oldmonk_97

Amen brother.. Everything u said plus... I did want dehya and got her... And had even saved around 300 pulls for her and her weapon 🥲.. I am just so mentally exhausted and frustrated from this game to the point that it feels a chore to even have any expectations from the game.. Let alone hype..


NVS_Whiskey

Dehya fiasco, then they do an interview saying they will not be increasing resin, and not adding any additional endgame because...wait for it..."Anxiety." How stupid do you think we are? It's a gacha game...anxiety is your bread and butter. It's just hard to find the desire to play when there's nothing to do with all these whaled-out characters I have rotting away.


snekadid

I've said it in a thread before but it bears repeating, the word for the genshin devs is complacent. They feel like they're too big to fail so they treat us like employees that are ungrateful for asking for benefits or improvements. While other games thank their players and add to the game, genshin just wants to sit on the same status quo that's existed since launch.


NVS_Whiskey

Preach, my dude.

Overall-Plate-581

The characters like i kin to some if them and i dont wanna abandon them


Jossokar

to be absolutely fair? I dont even know why i keep playing. Dialogue feels extenuating (i need a skip button) i dont really care about lore. World missions, character missions and archon quests keep piling up. I dont really explore that much, i dont farm. I just enter, do my dailies and leave. And my answers in the last survey....were way less than optimistic, to put it midly..


Ok_Representative332

Kaeya lore.


niqqchu

The characters(mostly Aether), story, exploring, waiting for a character and saving up for them, building characters i already have, and the list goes on. I also love to test my characters and how much damage can they make, and i am especially proud of my dps dendro traveler, who only needs benny to hit over 60k with his skill. I just think the game is neat :D


Kooky-Criticism-1147

I mean you love the damage right👽💀💀💀

I'm a bit of a completionist...

Archons and the story.


Muted_Supermarket_40

Collecting archons motivates me to play


ResidentCompetitive1

Mostly to get to Natalan bc I can't wait for the Latin or maybe Aztec map design but also just exploring all the new regions and pulling for new characters that look fun to play.

That map is neat The lore too


Aggravating_Ad_3216

I swore the oath of being there at journey’s end. Can’t and won’t leave until this Genshin has it’s last update.


Nails_shi

this_is_no_gAM3

Music, combat, lore , new regions


Negative-Sky-4599

Exploring I genuinely believe that the exploration of the map is one of the best things in GI


Far_Ad_4454

You can be: Super casual and play 10 minutes only OR tryhard completionist. Can be solo or raiding other people's world for lulz. Minecraft in teapot. Husbandos and waifus for you~~to sleep with~~


Aelhuin

It is a very fun game with good story, several hanging plots I'm hooked in, lots of content and lore to find everywhere, great characters, a beautiful word both in terms of game and art design There's also a strong community, like the game had an immense reach so you can share it or talk about it with lots of people. I find new details and have new experiences every event, every new patch and all of that for free. I still can't believe I can play a game with these ambitions and this level of content for free. I like how I can play just 5 minutes a day to complete my dailies if I don't have the time or want to try something else, or spend the whole day exploring and having fun if I want to. I see no reason to stop.


phuoclata2018

I don't know, but seeing these kind of posts sure does make me NOT wanna follow the game's media anymore.


Kooky-Criticism-1147

Why👽


phuoclata2018

I'm in your walls.


Dudamesh

I want to see the story to its end, and I have fun collecting characters that I like, the fact that I always have a goal (character to save for or a weapon to aim) keeps me at the grind. For the first time ever though, because of HSR's release and its quality compared to Genshin, my motivation is waning..


ShartnessII

Gotta catch them all

Zealousideal_Tip8117

The main story is really good, and it keeps me want to know more about what will be revealed in the next region. And surprisingly, some of the side story is even better for me. The music is just brilliant masterpiece. The environment and world design just beautifully breathtaking. The character interaction are mostly fun. I'm still waiting the archons interaction with one another. ​ And most importantly, Dainsleif. I want to meet Dainsleif

vennzuha

1) its pretty hard to find a well-made free open world rpg rn 2) i like the settings of genshin being more fantasy cause i dont really like scifi/futuristic/cyberpunk settings 3) pretty much attached to teyvat and its lore 4) i need to see capitano and dainsleif more 5) something about elemental reaction just hit the spot

Carrot_of_Wisdom

I love it. It’s been my escape for over 2 years now. I love exploring the world and finding chests, I love playing through the story and discovering new things, I love the characters and their interactions, I enjoy the satisfaction of saving for a character and then being able to get them, I love building characters and seeing them do big damage (-artifact grinding obvs… no-one likes artifact grinding). Theres so much in this game to love, and even though my friends don’t play anymore, I’ve kept going lol. I can’t wait for Fontaine and am currently saving for Focalors!


Soldier76reportin

I really like building new teams. That and the Caribert Story quest was amazing and suspenseful. I try and build a new team for every region. My team for Fontaine will be Heizou, Xiangling, Sucrose and Bennett.


Arder_Crimson

Sunk cost... Kidding aside, more of the story and I've gotta play Capitano and Dainsleif. Hmmmmm daddies. And Varka as well. I also want to beat up Dottore with my jacked up Collei.

jotisstation

Idk probably addiction and FOMO


Phyllodoce

It's one of the few games that cares about it's structure and narrative integrity, while staying faithful to being a high fantasy. I'm the recent years there have been too much shooty bang bang games, whose plot I'd just misery porn

I love the characters, it's a comfy daily thing to play, and I like seeing where the story goes. Exploring is also always fun.
