Huge world, lots of content, attractive characters ect. The only thing gatcha games really fail on is the gameplay, but 'normal' games haven't had any big releases with good gameplay in over a decade and people can only play rereremasters of the same games so many times.

Lucky indies are reaching AA PS2 game quality, so gaming is saved.

The four winds are: Wolf of the North, Lion of the South, Dragon of the East and Falcon of the West.
The old holders were: Boreas (wolf), Vennessa (lion), Dvalin (dragon) and the falcon has never been mentioned.
In the modern day Varka is the Knight of Boreas and Jean the Lionfang Knight. Both presumably are the modern day Wolf of the North and Lion of the South. Dvalin is still around and remain the Dragon of the East, but the knights might have an internal knight title for the dragon like jean and varka have. Even in the modern day the Falcon is still unmentioned but one could also assume there is a knight title associated with it but it's not Eula unless they want to retcon it.

Look at bandai namco to understand why. They see anime brands as simply just extensions of their merch, not an IP that is the main product itself. If say, an anime game about Jujutsu Kaisen doesn't move manga sales, then they drop the whole project.

They gave anime watchers what JRPGs couldn't.

And all of that for free and available on (almost) all platforms? Of course it would become popular.

No, you made an incorrect assertion because you're retarded. Childe never had any intentions of wiping an entire city off the map. He didn't even kill the guards who were guarding the vault you dipshit.

People don't want to actually finish video games. They want a service they can play alongside friends and treat like a pop culture discussion farm.

You can see this with how many people actually complete games on steam. The average gamer now engaged with games at a surface level while they do other things (ie watching streamers, hanging out on discord)

So gacha is the perfect type of game for this new age of gamer. They can compete their dailies and engage with the game at a very rudimentary level by rolling for waifus or whatever. And then they can spend the majority of their time on discord talking about their favorite girls or spending time on other social media like twitter finding memes to share about it.

It's not about the game itself being popular or whatever. It's about offering an experience to these people that is able to fill the immense gap in their lives.

Right place, right time. There was a desire for more action games with pretty girls. It was the right amount of "here's your toys (dolls) and here's a map to run around and flaunt your new toys, also we got a bunch of hyper predatory sales shit that's proven by research into psychological behavior to hook you, and suck you dry of expendable income."
The West wasn't up to the challenge because nobody was both willing and able to put out a large scale project that met these demands, with or without the gambling faggotry. Communist China was there to capitalize.

Nowadays I just play skyrim for few hours, ger bored and playing something else, usually some other f2p or online game. Gacha is the same but unlike most anime games from Japan, a lot of chinese and korean gacha have big production values because competition is very high and tough. Anime fags are eating good on being delivered free food that they aren't obligated to finish.

I started playing it last year and just got caught up. Genshin's biggest appeal is the outside of the gacha which is the same brain worms as every other Gacha game, there is a full and honestly pretty good game there. You can play this game and mostly ignore the gacha exists and it won't change any of the enjoyable parts of the game which is exploring the world and doing the world quests.

Truth. The biggest appeal of gacha right now is the same parasocial phenomenon that tv show watching did back in the 2010s. Now people everywhere just discuss the latesr banner or story patch and it gives a ton of people to feel like they belong in an active community.

Genshit popularise the overly designed character designs. Now every gacha has to have asymmetrical thigh-highs, thigh band, capelet, earring, bodysuit, bodysuit over bodysuit, laces, frills, laces over frills, sewing patterns flared sleeves, armband, and every single vtuber character designs.

>>731411398
While I don't doubt that is the model for Gacha in general, I don't think Genshin would have made it this long if it wasn't an actual game behind everything else. Because that's what happens with every other Gacha, they go on for a few years then people get bored and move on because there is nothing substantive behind it.

These aren't people who live together, or work together. Nobody better hit me with gay anecdotes about the tiny percentage that actually do group up for collaborative efforts. Takes a lot more than a few shared interests, and similar hobbies to be what I would consider a community. I know it's dumb sematics, but instead of "the speedrunning community" how about a more accurate description? "Speedrunning enthusiasts". Easy. More honest about what they are. Trans community? How about faggots? Faggots has always worked pretty well.

The games overarching plot is based on gnosticism. Basically there used to be a original god, a dragon lord called niebelung who was overthrowin by the usurper, called the heavenly principles. The heavenly principles employ Shades, rules of Reality that embody and rule over life, death, time and space they're alled naberius, ronova, istaroth and asmonday respectively. The archons each have an divine ideal and authority over an element and they all govern a nation. For example the archon of not japan is Raiden Ei, her ideal is eternity and she controls/is electro incarnate. Her demon name is baal. Actually all archons and shades are named after demons because you know the whole usurper thing. But that dosen't mean they're in the wrong, the dragons are pretty dodgy too.
Going deeper there is much more since each nation has it's own lore and own inspiration.

This is true, also there are lot of references to gnosticism with all the Archons stuff. And the game is full of magick sigils and symbolism.

Yet when asked
Which game has as many little lore touches?
Which game has as big and deep a world?
Which game has the combat system? Which game has the party building? Which game has the voice cast? Which game has the music?

You can't answer. Your original premise was false. People love the game because they've created a world people love and are invested in the story of.

Yeah, I know. I addressed that in my post more or less. I understand what they are calling "a community". It is not however, as much of a community as a village of people with a century or more of history. That thing that the word community derives from. It's just overdramatic shit.

Newfag here, playing everything back to back


Sumeru>Nod-Krai>Fontaine>Natlan>Inazuma>Mondstat>Liyue

In terms of both the map and region stories. I was surprised people hated Inazuma because for me it seemed like the game didn't even become good until Inazuma. Mondstat is like the most basic ass BotW shit and Liyue's main story is utterly soul crushingly boring. Inazuma was where the game started to feel like it's own thing.

One of the reasons why people originally hated Inazuma is because multiple character quests were shoehorned into the main story. The region itself was fun to explore but holy fuck the story was a slog to get through because it had so much unnecessary shit. You didn't experience this because it was so bad that they went back and trimmed some of the fat.

PAIMON malfunctioned. It's basically all spoiled in the outfit description

I think after bringing life to a bunch of the galaxy they found Teyvat which is so surrounded by abyss it took all of PAIMON's energy to set the planet up. Which is why it's asleep and the rules that govern the planet are kind of malformed. Everything seemingly done in haste
>>
>>731413828

Teyvat was already "set up" though. Dragons existed and thrived in the world long before the siblings ever passed by.
>>
>>731414580
Planet had to be wrestled from Nibelung and protected from abyss simultaneously. Four shades were a stopgap system for managing the planet, couldn't set it up properly in time.

Asmoday had to suppress you because the shades were in the act of giving up part of themselves to create Paimon. Paimon is the shade of Reason. I think the world is deterministic without having Paimon: beings have no real free will which is the point of Traveler planets. To have free willed humans.

I think PAIMON is out of energy in Celestial and cannot fix the world how it intended due to the abyss.
>>
>>731414730
No free will, deterministic existence, and would have been swallowed by abyss in time without it being brought back anyway.
>>
>>731414842
>protected from abyss
The Abyss wasn't even an issue prior to the Heavenly Principles showing up. The dragons had that shit at bay for as long as Teyvat's history has been recorded and it didn't become an issue until the Heavenly Principles forced Nibelung's hand as a last resort.
>>731414920
None of this is true.

It's just the theming they chose. But the real reason is probably gonna be because the protagonist is lucifer coded, and everything about the planet and its power structure is going to turn out to have been orchestrated by your own spaceship's ai gone rogue in the past.

Now that we've seen the traveler's ship, it's all but guaranteed that celestial nails stem from the same tech tree right?

Indeed they do. I know you are correct. Simply put. Still, I think it's worth voicing my displeasure about words changing so much they lose all meaning. They change, so they can also change back.

>People don't suddenly get an interest in football when the world cup is around.
This is categorically false. There are always people that pick thing up because it's popular. Same thing goes with people that never watch any american football but will always tune into the Superbowl.

If we're locked into the gnostic route then MC is Satanel, who is gnostic myth rebelled against Yaldabeoth once he realised that Yaldy wasn't the one true God of all things.
It reframes Lucifer's rebellion to be an act of good rather than the traditionally petulant hissy fit that it usually is because of unchecked pride and ego.

70% of the job was releasing it during the coof.
The rest is being the first major 3D gacha, dubbing for all major markets, shamelessly copying Zelda (so something very popular) and just enough to satisfy both waifufags and fags-fags or foids.
Oh right and it was also available on phones AND consoles.
Notice how they spawned an entire subgenre, almost entirely occupied by other Chinese developers.

Chinks realized early on that they could lock out competitors and then produce cheap knockoffs of things popular overseas to their retarded captured audience who has no choice but to play their sloppa. Normalfags (think gun and ball people but asian) then play their freemium shit. It's like asking why chink google clone Baidu is popular, the CCP locked out Google and made their own clone.

You can access steam in china just fine. JP ff14 players constantly complain about chinese players invading their region's servers. They're not locked out from shit the west has just failed to make good games.

Game lost its soul in Natlan, and lost the fun with nodKrai. I imagine only people with massive sunkcost still play because its nothing like it used to be

they use vpns, their society produces nothing but cultural floatsam so like rats on a sinking ship they do anything to leave. I suppose they are similar to the illegals in the united states, proud of where they come from and resent the local population while simultaneously benefiting off it.
