the entire business model of gacha revolves around selling you these characters. most of these games aren't even games, you just click on menus to collect tokens to roll for characters. they have one team of devs working on the game then 5 teams working on character designs and art. and those designs specifically cater to things to make you want them, rather than things relevant to the story or the world they exist in
no game could ever make money doing this outside of the gacha genre

Considering it's one of their main selling points, I don't think any Gacha games have particularly appealing character designs. Every single character in something like No More Heroes or even Danganronpa looks more interesting than just about any character design in any Mihoyo game.

It's more apparent why when you look at gacha spin offs of real games.

Fire Emblem Heroes has sexual fanservice, ecchi artists doing breast enlargements, wedding outfits for little girls, skimpy dancer outfits every year.
Then look at Fire Emblem Three Houses. Outside of one character, it's sterilized as fuck. Sweat pants, baggy clothes, unified military uniforms that are bland and uninteresting. The closest thing to fetish material is Sothis' feet. The game was massively popular with women and casuals because of the school/persona-like setting. These same people then looked at Engage and walked off because of the large mommy with big tits without giving the game a fair shake.

Real games have to cater to the worst kind of low common denominator: normies. Fanservice is banned. It gives everyone the ick, unless it's fanservice for women then it's okay.
Gacha games cater to the other kind of low common denominator: porn addicts. They're more vunerable to wasting money for PNGs, which is why you only see attractive female characters in gachas anymore. Hoyo games are pretty tame compared to most gachas but compared to real games it's still way too sexy.

It's far worse than mainstream games being heavily sanitized for a "common denominator."
For the past 25~ years, media has been getting aggressively sanitized by a fringe lot of liberal karens who want to crush all conventional sexuality, while also pushing whatever bizarre downright evil ideological horseshit that they think is 'progressive' at the time.
It's being corrupted by freaks.

Every single gacha or gacha-adjacent game I've played (f2p game with constant content updates and 'free' stingy economy that requires you to do daily missions like a retarded wagecuck slave to afford pulls) has its community constantly discussing "THE PROBLEM WITH THE GAME".
What is that? It's the one thing that "could" make this game fun and realize its true potential, but as long as it's unfixed it makes it a pain in the ass to play. Discourse endlessly circles around the current "the problem with the game". Said issues NEVER, EVER get fixed as goalpost relocating constantly change what "the current problem with the game" is. And if they ever happen to fix something, they'd have already broken something else that gets queued up to the top of glaring game design issues, creating a new current "problem with the game".
Every single time. They're all products broken by design and people will never stop discussing how to "fix them" as they keep playing what's ultimately a piece of trash with waifus by sunken cost fallacy, since they've invested so much time (or money) on their accounts.
But anon, what if they finally fixed everything. Then all of this effort will be worth it, and you'll regret not being here when it happens!
Fuck that.

Not true. If they stuck with her original design and properly made Blanco her own character, instead of sidelining and deleting her, there was potential for something good.
If Shungus was genki and had an obvious love of life, and showed actual reluctance and fear towards the sword, then her fading memories would have hit harder. Instead she almost always carried herself with that resigned, demure sadness and never hesitated to draw the sword. Like she had a deathwish or something.
Her demo is everything that's wrong with her in a nutshell.

>she's shown she easily defeat ethereals without releasing the sword

>>737000013
The answer to THE PROBLEM WITH THE GAME should always be shitty drop rates with drip fed currency.
Other problems like coinflips, high pity rates, weapon banners, overpriced skins, and powercreep will solve itself it wasn't a fucking sub 1% chance for a character on budget where you cannot get the rate up character unless you're super lucky or spend money.

You see, THIS is what Shungus' character IS. She IS the retarded superficial waifu pandering.
That more than one dimensional character you're imagining - it's not her. It's someone entirely different.
With Shungus it's very obvious, that someone on the dev team (someone from the high up on the management chain) had very shallow basic bitch taste in his anime waifus and came up/fell in love with Shungus' design, and pushed for her to be the main focus of the game for a while. Both meta and narrative wise.
Same shit, but on a lesser scale, happened with SNEED, when the devs went all like once you recognize the secret reason for her scooter, you will feel ashamed of your words and deeds.
>>
>>737000685
I hope Sneedfag and Shungusfag were the same guy and that he's now been sidelined.

The sig ball is by far the most important for Yu, since she's a Stunner which uniquely synergizes with Anomaly (for now anyway). She can't compe with any existing free or premium Stunner balls.

A sizeable portion of the playerbase does, true. But a well-written organically likable character is going to win against a shallow waifu even among that kind of players, simply because they're better objectively. That, and being a meta hypercarry in a p2w genre game definitely helped Shungus.

>>737003363
It is strange. They can certainly afford to be better games, but they just don't. I suppose that's why they're doing it in the first place: easy money, no effort. Makes you feel bad for the out of game animations since ZZZ and Wuthering Waves do quite well despite their dogshit games

>>737003363
Because most revenue comes from mobile players which have an average IQ of 60 and limited control scheme. In general they don't want "real games", and if it had actual gameplay it would be bad since it would be too time consuming and get in the way of some of their manipulation tactics, like dailies.

This is true but it's not very different to them. You were always expected to become a whale of some kind over there.

The players don't want anything more. They're only in it to look at characters performing flashy animations, read some lines about those same characters praising them, and so they can post about the game on social media.

You have to be gigaretarded to start Genshin now, it is simply not worth it. 80% of the games content is gone forever because induced fomo, and that includes major story quests. Yes, even those are time gated. What's left there is mid to bad up till Fontaine, also somehow still no "Skip" button for the dragged out scenes.
If you're the type to play for meta you're also cooked because powercreep has reaches new heights where you need full premium 5* only team to even attempt the game modes and since there are only two banners you will be waiting for an entire year of reruns before you can get one of multiple teams you need.

>>736993447
The thing about gacha games is that you can just slap a cool character together, make a super short VN about them with some trivia facts on the side and you can forget about them unlike in actual game where you have to come up with an entire plotline about them

Because fundamentally these games revolve around numbers going up, basically cookie clicker with progression timegated in some form. But since they also need constant flow of new content, the simpliest way of adding more content is just bigger numbers. What's easier, adding complex enemies with new movesets and mechanics and whatnot, or just same old shit but with different skins and more numbers?
People don't make gacha with the mindset of making a good game, it's a money printer by design, so more income with less expenses is generally the priority.

loud trannies are everywhere, sadly, but it's just a very small number of them in every "communities". You need to keep in mind just how few people in the world actually decide to troon themselves, and with 41% being a real metric, they won't even be around for long.
