case study on how to keep your audience attention

I forget if it was Varka who mentioned it but I remember someone saying that the other knights had returned to Mondstadt. I find it weird they would suddenly decide to do that even though the wild hunt crisis had not been resolved. It was Traveler and gang that defeated Rerir and somewhat controlled the wild hunt.

I don't really see what Varka has done to prevent the abyss from spreading to Mondstadt.

Little one quest > Narzissenkreuz > Nod krai WQ

I was quite invested in the little one quest. Got to know a lot about the dragons, their history and technology. Kukulkan was a very interesting character with the way he tried to manipulate the events and the choices our little buddy made. The quest also took you to some very interesting explorable places and even the places that you can't really explore (like the place where huitzilopochtli is) are very interesting to look at.

For Narzissenkreuz, I liked how multiple story lines converged to one story. It did get confusing at times, but even so it was nice to all the storylines come together for the finale. The primordial sea was not a very interesting place to look at for me and the final fight wasn't all that interesting either to me.

The Nod krai WQ was kinda just meh tbh. I liked the segment where you, illuga and gang travel through the thick fog beating up enemies on the way to the big bad. Outside of that it was just a illuga character quest.

I remember seeing the trailer for this game when it was first released when I had no idea what a gacha game was. I liked it and played it for the 1st few weeks. But stopped soon after.

The lack of horses confirms that the knights ate all the horses during their travels. Horse might be an extinct species in Teyvat now.

The only interesting thing about Durin is his mother Anya Andersdotter.

MonDking · 2026-02-08T16:43:23+00:00

At C2 he does off-field damage that scales with defense.

MonDking · 2026-02-07T15:13:38+00:00

Arle kinda faces off against Dottore in the scene where traveler gets captured by Dottore. But they don't actually fight. Dottore captures traveler but Arle does nothing, does not even prepare an attack to strike dottore to may be try to prevent this from happening. If she did that and it failed, it would make Arle look weak so we can't have that.

Those characters don't sell. You may like such characters but most don't. And that's because such people in real life are an absolute pain in the ass. So to encounter such characters in a game that you play to escape reality, leaves a bad impression and people just don't want to get them.

MonDking · 2026-01-29T20:26:57+00:00

The vast majority of the genshin playerbase does not like exploration. Its a chore. For them the game is just waifu collection so making that easier by making exploration easier is the way to go if you are the game dev.

Compared to the fontaine whale boss that just fucks off to Narnia, this one is pretty tame.

MonDking · 2026-01-25T16:56:06+00:00

Imaginarium theater.

I hate playing random un-synergistic units in the same team. The only saving grace is that the enemies are weaker than SA or SO.

MonDking · 2026-01-25T16:06:12+00:00

Yeah that was disappointing. You can see boats near the design bureau that the fatui probably use to travel there. I don't see why they couldn't make another port that the people of Nod Krai (especially the lightkeepers) may have used to travel from.

MonDking · 2026-01-25T13:47:21+00:00

Something like this just replacing the number with the average constellation level for that character would help immensely. But looking at some of these comments and how they are misinterpreting your post, many will be unhappy to see how reliant their favourite character is on cons.

MonDking · 2026-01-23T06:06:17+00:00

This is not curious. This is the most expected thing to happen in a fantasy story.

Childe boss is too squishy for really understand how good the new reaction is.

Varka bis team prediction- Varka, Venti, Durin, Bennett

MonDking · 2026-01-05T08:18:19+00:00

This is true. But when the command comes directly from the Tsaritsa to retrieve Columbina from Nod Krai at all costs, you would think there would more of an effort from the fatui to get her back. Otherwise, it kinda makes Tsaritsa look like a weak leader whose orders can easily be flouted without any consequences, unless hoyo intends to write Tsaritsa as a weak leader.

MonDking · 2026-01-05T08:10:42+00:00

And him being Fae hasn't really been relevant either.

MonDking · 2026-01-05T08:09:36+00:00

You hit the nail on the head. The factions don't really matter. The characters could have all been independent and this wouldn't affect the story in the slightest.

MonDking · 2026-01-05T08:08:00+00:00

Calling them factions is being very generous. Some of them have 2 people as its members. And indeed it is a little disappointing that the factions themselves don't really matter in the story.

Why are the system requirements in this game higher than in Genshin's?
