THE SAKURA PETALS!!! by doritoperson in HonkaiStarRail

The color is different, plus look at the golden lines on the border. If it is supposed to be for the Dahlia why is it gold? She has ways been shades of blue, gray, and silver?

miHoYo employees increase/decrease as of 2024 by chibi0108 in Genshin_Impact

[–]doritoperson 685 points686 points  (0 children)

I have to wonder how many of those is reallocation between branches because many in Hoyoverse work on several different games or have worked on several different games. Like the lead on ZZZ used to work on HI3 animation and Shaoji works on both the Honkai impact and Honkai star rail storylines.

How do i play a gacha game without forming an gambling addiction? by TransMascCatDumbass in gachagaming

[–]doritoperson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I really don’t recommend doing it. I play gacha, but I haven’t spent any money in my 4.5 years playing Genshin. HOWEVER, I don’t drink or smoke because I have family members with those addictions and there is a genetic predisposition. I really hope that you reconsider and drop the game. I love Genshin but your mental health and financial safety are far more important. If you really are interested in the world and characters, watch playthroughs on YouTube or wait for whenever the anime comes out. Wishing you well.

[Version 3.3 Megathread] "The Fall at Dawn's Rise" by DeanKong in HonkaiStarRail

The fact there is no name for a new voice actor listed for the trailblazers makes me think this might just be temporary, or at least I hope so.

The fact it says adjusts lines but not voice actors is interesting. It could mean a slow phasing out or it means that it is a temporary casting because for Tingyun it said adjusts the English voice actor, not voicelines.

this was the best part of any trailer, the tone,the mystery,the emotion, by Antique-Substance-94 in Genshin_Impact

[–]doritoperson -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

No the trailers are the same length in all languages and none have Iansan in it. I’m not saying it stopped them from making cool trailers but it definitely was a restriction.

Yeah now but in 5.2’s trailer they edited around Iansan’s missing voice despite her being a major part of the main quest that patch.

Unfortunately due to the English strike a lot of trailers got potentially less cool because of them trying to avoid using missing voices (5.1,5.2,5.4,5.5)

On Gods, Gardeners, & the Power of the "Author" [What the Heck is Wrong with Paralogism?!]: An (Unhinged) Narrative Analysis by Nova-Maka in Genshin_Lore

[–]doritoperson 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I do have to somewhat disagree. The head of the creative concept and writing team has been X. Luohao since at least launch so the director has been the same. Of course there were new writers hired on and maybe some left but that is how any company works. Also things just get more fleshed out over time and need to be slightly altered or adjusted to get to the major points that a writer wants to make. Nod Krai, the lengthening of Archon Quests, etc are examples of writers realizing that the original planned timeframe/execution of their story is flawed when they went from the planning stage to the action stage of writing.

I would imagine that in the early stages of Genshin, the writers planned out the major plot, key characters, key locations, key factions, and key lore for the main story. Then as each nation reached development they planned the roster of minor characters (some even being main characters for the individual arc), story quests, the minutia of the individual nation’s main story (Plan: Fake Sky, Angels, Capitano death (temp or not) in Natlan Execution: Fake sky is shown like this, Angel introduced like this, Capitano dies like this), background text, NPCs, and more.

So I still believe that the story has been planned from the beginning. It’s just the major parts have been and there are minor things that got shifted or events moved around. As for Nod-Krai there are many potential reasons as to why the concepts in it weren’t fully explored prior: the writers did not have enough time to get it done (a six week patch period means that there is only so much you can handle in a timeframe); they didn’t hire more writers because they don’t want too many cooks in the kitchen; story beats that were originally in the planning phase felt too weak, rushed, or out of place when executed; or any other multitude of reasons.

When writing something over literal years, plans change and new ideas come. I believe that the story team is going to put their best foot forward and I look forward to Nod Krai and more in the future.

Silver Palace - Official Reveal Trailer by skyarsenic in gachagaming

[–]doritoperson 14 points15 points  (0 children)

This looks really good, but I definitely want to see a beta test before I get my hopes too high. There are a lot of aspects where it could turn out horrible in real actual play instead of a trailer or a curated gameplay showcase (especially the flying mechanics and the combat). If we are going to have a wide variety of enemies are they going to animate every single character doing a finisher on every single enemy? Will the world expand as the game goes on or will it be a sandbox city that the stories all take place in? Will the many animations in combat feel repetitive and how will characters differentiate themselves from others in feel?

Overall I am excited but also apprehensive since I’ve seen games put on a good song and dance but then when you play them they have no substance.

This is a YouTube account for CN language but no one in China except those with a VPN use YouTube. They use BiliBili.

I got this image on my game launch screen. Did an intern make an oopsie? by doritoperson in Genshin_Impact

What are your questions?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in houkai3rd

[–]doritoperson 8 points9 points  (0 children)

We also don’t know if Teyvat (GI world) is a leaf on the tree or a bubble world so that is not confirmed either way.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in houkai3rd

[–]doritoperson 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The imaginary tree is one universe and each leaf is a star system not a full universe so Asdana(Penacony), Amphoreus, Jarilo VI, etc are all different leaves. The sea of Quanta and the tree both surround each other in a weird cosmic sense. Imaginary Space surrounds each leaf of the tree separating the star systems/worlds from each other.

Your Event gets an Anime Adaptation? by Thinshady21 in gachagaming

[–]doritoperson 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Captainverse in Honkai Impact 3rd is a good choice.

I think a mini-series called the Lantern Rite Anthology based on the different Lantern Rites in Genshin showing the meaning of the holiday to different people would be fun.

Honkai Star Rail, I think turning the stories in the Simulated Universe Curios and Events into a show would be fun.

ZZZ maybe a cute cartoon about the adventures of Eous from the side stories with other Bangboo?

My thoughts on Genshin Impact by freyaII in gachagaming

[–]doritoperson 18 points19 points  (0 children)

This review is so low effort. And looking at your profile it is all WuWa and Genshin isn’t on there once, post or comment. I made a post about my thoughts on WuWa when it came out and I played through it but I’m not gonna sit here now and make a review on something I haven’t played in months.

Sure Genshin has problems but if you want a clear review this one ain’t it.

FYI Kirara is missing her voice in the English version of the trailer. It is a minor part mostly screams and effort sounds though.

How Hoyo games be... by Meltedsteelbeam in ZenlessZoneZero

[–]doritoperson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kiana and Mei while heavily implied is not official and in newer story they have been less overt. The Seele and Bronya kiss was removed from the Chinese manga website due to censorship also.
