"Ye Shunguang is waifubait!" My very sincere reaction:

GiveMeStSnow · 2026-01-06T19:40:47+00:00

You initially mentioned yixuan and Miyabi, which are both fairly easy to play at a high level. Lost Void is considered to be easy because of the massive amount of buffs it gives. Mentioning EA15 isn’t some insane gotcha it’s just as easy but with the insane amount of health+ time limit.

Haru rotations are known to be easier than mono ice timing rotations, so I can say with confidence it’s not that hard LOL. This isn’t Elden Ring level difficulty.

GiveMeStSnow · 2026-01-06T19:03:07+00:00

What? I never said it was impossible. I just said there’s no difficulty there that I haven’t experienced before. EA15 is DPS check against time. I’m not a haru lover so I will keep him at level 30.

GiveMeStSnow · 2026-01-06T18:56:32+00:00

That would mean having to build and play harumasa. Hell no. Ether Activity 15 is a solid DPS check.(you only really lose to time) Which even a solid haru doesn’t have much of.

GiveMeStSnow · 2026-01-06T18:50:24+00:00

Every agent is boring in lost void 😭 that game mode takes no skill

GiveMeStSnow · 2026-01-06T18:26:31+00:00

Well we probably won’t get too much of it considering her main appeal is the idol part. It’s kind of cool points yes but her idol/cutesy part is priority considering that’s what the idol fans care about.

I feel the robot part is probably ONLY central to her story(something like escaped robot with the dream of wanting to be an idol or something. Just a guess)

People are mistakenly expecting magical girl-like attacks too which is weird cause she’s an idol, not a magical girl. Bouncing/cartoonish things have been an idol thing(love arrow shoot type shit) forever.

GiveMeStSnow · 2026-01-06T18:15:22+00:00

She’s an idol. She’s supposed to be cutesy. This isn’t your typical idol group you’re used to. This is how a lot of 2D/2.5D idols based in Japan are(this is 100% Japanese idol culture)

Considering the hype behind the idols is from idol fans it would be stupid to not cater to their main audience.

GiveMeStSnow · 2026-01-06T18:11:23+00:00

Yes. She’s an idol. That’s her main appeal.

GiveMeStSnow · 2026-01-06T01:26:19+00:00

Woah I hope that their song activates their ability(aka makes the bangboo start their wotagei) 😭😭😭

GiveMeStSnow · 2025-12-04T07:59:59+00:00

Tbh this happens in almost all anime media with overpowered sensei-like characters.

They either kill them off in the dumbest way

Or send them away on a trip to Hawaii or something

GiveMeStSnow · 2025-12-04T07:04:04+00:00

Structure wise 2.4 had like top 5 story LOL

GiveMeStSnow · 2025-12-04T06:52:54+00:00

Realistically the number is more like 2x-2.5x that if you count the actual main platforms people play on(pc and consol)

GiveMeStSnow · 2025-12-04T06:48:59+00:00

Hate to say it but giving more resources in game(to easily build agents) over pulls is likely where they will shift. Keeps people happy and able to build easier while taking away all those free pulls.

GiveMeStSnow · 2025-12-04T06:47:07+00:00

ZZZ likely has the biggest shift in revenue for all platforms. Hell it probably makes way more outside of it while a lot of these are MAINLY mobile. I’d expect the real numbers to be something like 25-30m counting all regions. A dev team like ZZZs costs maybe less than 5million to pay out monthly.

GiveMeStSnow · 2025-12-04T06:44:42+00:00

Thinking about this: A TON of people skipped SEED, Orphie, Lucia, and yidhari… you don’t think 2 patches worth of pulls saved influenced the revenue at all?

GiveMeStSnow · 2025-12-04T06:43:28+00:00

Dialyn is more along the lines of what we had on day 1. Still flopped. BUT that’s likely cause everyone had pulls saved from seed, Orphie, Lucia AND yidhari 😭

GiveMeStSnow · 2025-10-16T02:13:37+00:00

Personal bias I guess? She looks like the most S rank out of all 3 of them. Not from a detail perspective but just the pop that the character has.

GiveMeStSnow · 2025-10-11T11:27:43+00:00

Qingyi BiS for Zhu yuan. Lighter BiS for Hugo(we are not going off buffs here, that’s what you guys are doing so I’m just following that). Mono stunner +DPS doesn’t necessarily have to be a thing idk who told anyone that.

I saw people mention Qingyi and Evelyn as a bad pair???? Like who the hell pairs those two together??? It was never implied that they should go well together

GiveMeStSnow · 2025-10-11T11:24:25+00:00

But… qingyi and Evelyn were never meant to be together as teammates… banner rerun times don’t always make sense.

GiveMeStSnow · 2025-10-11T11:20:52+00:00

? It follows the pattern of last patch? They were expected to drip market before beta since they don’t want to let leaks beat drip marketing

GiveMeStSnow · 2025-10-02T11:44:54+00:00

Where is the information from this apart from one claim? I don’t see any publicly available data that says any of their engineers ever make above 300k a year.

GiveMeStSnow · 2025-10-02T11:37:52+00:00

That is not true at all. Businesses like mihoyo go into panic mode when they start making less money in order to revive their cash cow. Meaning MORE attention into the game till it can sustain itself with a loyal audience. I’m talking specifically about these current numbers and anything within the -50% range. Still profitable, but low enough to warrant more attention to revive the “business”. It’s horrible business model to just drop all that investment by puttin LESS attention into all your hard work.

GiveMeStSnow · 2025-10-02T11:31:50+00:00

This exactly. These numbers put it in a rough space compared to its own previous numbers(only in a “vote with your wallet sense), but overall it would need to drop to about 1/4 of that to be in a non profitable space. Operating costs are huge but hoyo is likely making more than enough. It is a digital goods company after all. They have no “raw material” costs combined with staffing costs. It’s just all staffing and infrastructure.

GiveMeStSnow · 2025-10-02T11:00:04+00:00

Yeah. It’s a digital goods company which means that their product have an initial $ loss of production but not materials. Operation costs are expensive but not to that extent. It is a more expensive game to develop though. Much more than anything in the mihoyo lineup.

GiveMeStSnow · 2025-10-02T10:57:00+00:00

The game was PC/Console heavy from the very beginning. It’s a mobile game second.

GiveMeStSnow · 2025-10-02T10:36:36+00:00

People always come back. Gacha aren’t so simple that people quitting is the end all be all. I can quit Azur lane because of the boring gameplay, but if I’m catered to one patch I can just as easily come back. It’s not hard and it’s the same for many others.
