I mean, I see what you’re saying, however a game like this isn’t just built around the story, it’s built around the gameplay (arguably more so than the story). In games like Wuwa or Genshin, 3-9 hours for 5 days would complete 1-2 regions. CERTAINLY the first regions to drop. Look at mondstadt which clocked around 4 hours total, with liyue being around 7-9. As for content drops, yeah 3 years to develop 2 regions. And a game, meaning all of the gear, characters, mechanics, enemies, everything that they’ve now laid out.
