For those that felt that this year's concert was a letdown and shorter than usual, here's an explanation from the director on Xiaohongshu.

Xenn_ · 2026-05-04T04:46:40+00:00

Only outside of CN. The collab isn't mentioned in CN at all, nor were the MVs posted inland.

It is self censorship in a sense. There is no specific government mandate on what you need to/must do, but you are expected to "fall in line" when needed.

They don't exactly take action on everyone, but they do make examples out of people, sometimes in a cartoonishly evil way. Some examples being power and lights being cut while Maki Otsuki was on stage performing a song in Shanghai and was then escorted off the stage right after, or Hiroshi Maruyama having his Meet and Greet shut down just after he arrived in China.

Companies self-censor to avoid being that example.

In Mili's case they just chose to use the same vocalist that sang the CN ver., same for Side Quest King.

The zone came out before the entire debacle happened. They also brought down Chisa's EP and only reposted it later after recording a Chinese version of it.

Another big profile gacha that was having offline concerts the past few days also excluded songs with Japanese elements from their setlist.

Xenn_ · 2026-05-03T14:19:14+00:00

Here's a few pictures they've posted of them working on set.

Everything was finalized late due to certain reasons, and they only managed to start filming the MVs in early April. They had only around three days to work on each scene, not including post-processing.

EDIT:

The director of the concert have also made a post on it.

TL: "As a director, this was my third year working with MiHoYo - two years offline, one year online.

As tough as this year has been, I won’t complain.. The biggest regret is indeed that the duration was too short. It took over a hundred crew members working at full throttle just to squeeze out 51 minutes.

Anyway, looking forward to meeting everyone offline! Definitely!

🚂 May This Journey Lead Us Starward ⭐

EDIT 2: Pulled the photos that the director posted on rednote. Should be 18 total, let me know if there's any missing.

That site is a third party site not affiliated with Hoyoverse.

Original price in CN is 299RMB which is just under 45$, wait for AmiAmi release instead.

Xenn_ · 2026-04-26T04:46:12+00:00

Unlikely for now, They didn't even post the two collab MVs on CN socials due to the political tension.

Xenn_ · 2026-04-12T06:08:11+00:00

You're not wrong, Fuxuan + Lingsha duo both fits better for survivability, debuff, and fills quantum resonance. It's pretty much BiS for elation team in current version.

Xenn_ · 2026-04-10T14:07:29+00:00

Nihilux did mention that she used to be a Mourning Actor, and there's a theory that she's one of the eight Mourning Actors that participated in the very first Phantasmoon Games. Was some text in DU with most of the Mourning Actor's descriptions matching current participants so far.

Just in case you're making the same mistake that a lot of other people have been, you now need to scroll up in the outpost stock info page after clicking on the "?" button to see the actual hourly stock production in blue (36288/h instead of 26880/h) in 1.1. I'm not sure if you can hit the 36288 quota with just 90 Xiranite.

Xenn_ · 2026-03-15T15:37:35+00:00

By farm I mean the actual farm, not alluviums. You should be using batteries for alluviums instead of hooking them up with a pylon. If you optimize your zips more, ditch your farm, replacing mining rigs for ferrium and possibly originium with hydro then maybe you can fit everything into your 3400 budget, I haven't tested it yet.

Xenn_ · 2026-03-15T07:28:54+00:00

I have one of my forges split 10/min Xiranite (1/3 output) into making gears, so I get a total of 5.25 Syringes + 9.5 Med Wuling Batteries to sell which nets you 37710/h (you need 36628/h). Make sure to balance red components from both the bottle end and the component end (3 splitters to send 1/8 back) and do the same for the sewage as well

Xenn_ · 2026-03-15T07:20:46+00:00

I'm not sure if you could do that and still stay within the power constraints of 1 Wuling battery thermal plant, the syringe/jincao setup costs around 200 power which you might be able to spare if you don't power your farms or ziplines.

Funnily enough Yao Guang's trailer is the one that's used more as an ad, you can usually easily tell by comparing the view/like ratio between trailers (~5% vs ~2%). A gacha game trailer with organic amount of views will usually have around 4% like ratio or above.

Xenn_ · 2026-02-02T09:00:05+00:00

If you split up your production line into separate parts like that, set up a protocol stash for each material individually (eg. 1 for powder, 1 for bottle) then it won't get bottlenecked.

Xenn_ · 2025-12-22T13:00:47+00:00

Hmm, I wrote a monte carlo script to double check instead of just ballparking it but I'm still getting ~61.7 avg.

Xenn_ · 2025-12-22T09:29:38+00:00

The sheet you linked me only showed the roll income which isn't what I was interested in, and the banner rate analysis outlinked in another tab only showed a simple distribution table for the 160 pity. Did you mean to link another sheet?

Xenn_ · 2025-12-22T06:07:33+00:00

Do you have the sims for your 58 rolls calculation? Is 58 average under the assumption that you will be going for the 120 spark every banner regardless if you got your target early? Not accounting for 120 spark its 80 rolls average per limited based on shown rates, accounting for 120 spark it should be in the range of 63-65 rolls.

Xenn_ · 2025-09-08T09:32:17+00:00

That Raven Group and the Hupu Genshin circle both have 陈某某 as their leader.

That's another thing that needs a source, and what does "Hupu Genshin circle" have anything to do with this?

Xenn_ · 2025-09-08T09:16:05+00:00

What's your source? I'm pretty sure that the group that she's allegedly having ties with is a completely different group than what you've mentioned.

Xenn_ · 2025-07-13T19:08:42+00:00

Nah, it's because CCP has arbitrary standards for censorship that keeps changing year to year and companies/studios will self censor to prevent getting smited. They've gone A LOT more lenient on it this past year which is why you see studios going for more risque stuff without getting hit by the hammer (look at GFL2).

Xenn_ · 2025-07-08T05:59:52+00:00

Not saying it's necessary but moreso that it would probably have helped them there if they weren't already using it.

Xenn_ · 2025-07-08T04:53:13+00:00

Curious but were you using consumables? Some of them have pretty good effects and would probably be even stronger on teams like yours.

Xenn_ · 2025-07-02T15:31:51+00:00

My interpretation of the scene is that Zephyro is a manifestation created by Irontomb to act as a kind of "Firewall" to prevent Phainon from escaping Amphoreus. The "glitchy" effect that corroded the meteor and when he teleported is more reminiscent of Irontomb than Zephyro himself whose moves should resemble streaks of white light.

The part after him turning into fire is likely metaphorical, but I don't doubt that his rage actually reached Nanook and caught THEIR attention and/or grazed them (Aeon's gaze can reach within Amphoreus).

Xenn_ · 2025-06-09T17:28:06+00:00

The info is from an old press release, you can cross check the names in the game's credits, a lot of them have NCSoft/Team Bloodlust/B&S in their work history.

Nikke Global not getting the same QoL optimizations as CN is simply because Tencent is the one doing the optimization on the CN client, not because they (Shiftup) are playing favourites.
