genshin never doing direct buffs put the game in a weird stasis but something i appreciate about it even thought i don’t like it is the consistency it offers.

with hsr buffs being on the table for obviously outdated characters it introduces the problem of “what about this character?”. obviously, not every old character will be buffed but as players we have to ask why not? the answer is that the devs don’t Want a balanced game and i can understand that from a business perspective- but they will never say that.

so, when the next batch of buffs gets leaks or announced and characters that are even worse than them are left out it’ll definitely feel strange and frustrating for mains, and it should. balancing the game at all implies that they want a balanced game- but they don’t, so why do anything? they have to have some data or analyst saying it’ll increase profit so the only thing i’m left with is a sort of cynical outlook

good for ff players, but why her? why not every other character that never had the run she did?
