For me, it's Nangong

2 of the next 3 banners are gonna flop.
Roxy is gonna flop worse than Claret.
Severian is gonna flop because he's a male (and, worse, because he's a male with a super shit moveset).
Phoenix isn't likely gonna flop. No idea how well she'll do though. But she's hot, the community seems to like her and will probably be at least T0.5.
I say "isn't likely" because there's a chance Sunbringer might be the next agent, and if that happens, then RIP Phoenix. Nobody is going to waste pulls if they know Sunbringer is next.
That said, if any of the next three agents are going to do well, it's definitely Phoenix and not Dykebait #2 or the M*le.

They said this about Cissia and yet she's still one of the worst selling units in the game, face it, most of the ZZZ "community" are twitter larpers who don't even play the game they just goon to the characters and share memes, explains why so many "popular" characters end up flopping so hard. ZZZ is popular on social media but nobody actually wants to play the game let alone spend money on it. It's like Touhou

Don't blame me when I flop

Cissia is a huge brick and her design is much worse

>>582030924
Cissia flopping proves that there is no saving this game.

>>582030924
Cissia wasn't hot, her Tier was dependant on owning unpopular Agent and people only started liking her after playing the story chapters with her, not everyone rushes the story as soon as it drops.
Even those who did rush the story during Nangongs banner had already made up their mind about skipping.

Phoenix has had zero criticism, no clown outfit to cry about, her biggest obstacle for selling is needing Velina .

>>582031269
How can you say that when Claret exist

>>582031330
?

>>582030924
True all that. Yet she still has the most likelihood of ANY sort of financial success compared to the other 2, even if that likelihood isn't all that big to begin with.
No betting man would ever bet on Roxy or Severian making money.
I hope that all of this teaches Mihoyo at least 3 important lessons:

1. They need to work overtime to kill this game's popular perception of VH agents being the only agents you should pull. That hurts every other banner no matter how far away they are from a VH agent's release. I think everyone who actually cares about ZZZ can at least agree to this one thing. And now for a more controversial point:
2. Either have zero male characters or actually put in effort when you design male characters. Severian arguably has the most uninspired moveset and animations of any agent in the game. Yes, that includes free 1.X characters like Soukaku. And now for a much more controversial point:
3. Keep the yurifaggotry to Genshit or HRT. Yurifaggotry is a big reason Claret flopped. Those "twitter larpers" you mention include the retarded yurifags who draw Claret and Roxy yuri art and yet don't play the game or pull for the character, resulting in her being down there with SBilly in being the worst selling agents of the game.

>>582031280
They made Cissia a dedicated Seed support when nobody rolled Seed, she never had the possibility of doing anything except flop.

Claret is objectively better than Cissia in design and meta positioning she's just a fag

It really is annoying when Mihoyo releases a character but makes it so that you needed to have also pulled a character that came out just before her.

>>582030924
1.4-2.5 just kinda ruined it i think vivian was the last character i spent money on personally. if characters like cissia, remielle or the idols came out earlier i would've pulled them all but 2.0+ made me quit before they came out. i only just came back on a "fuck it" whim and cause i thought the arguing about yuri was funny. nothing about the game itself or its content got me to come back. as a 1.0fag, zzz kind of a walking corpse atp. most of the "vets" ARE probably gone and its mostly tourists just passing by anymore. i dont doubt that at all.

>>582032013
Consider the following scenarios, one from a new player and one from an older playerr:

1. New player: Someone gets into the game because they see pictures of an agent on social media. He spends the next week quickly grinding polychromes from in-game progression. He gets the character before the banner ends. OOPS! Turns out that this character isn't optimal without the character that was in the prior banner! When will that character rerun? Maybe in a few months! Maybe in a year! Maybe never! Who knows? See how this is retarded for newfags?

2. Older player: Someone is interested in getting a character that is arriving in the banner after the current one. He knows that you need the current character so that the next character can have an optimal team setup. He can force himself to get the current support character so that the next character is optimal. But what if he doesn't end up liking the next character when the character comes out and he tests the moveset and it's shit or isn't meta or he just isn't happy with it? That puts in in a bind. Proceed with the original plan of pulling for that character he doesn't like anymore (for whatever reason) or accept that he wasted pulls on a deadweight support character who doesn't have their optimal teammate because he doesn't want to waste any more pulls on a character he specifically no longer likes. Again, see why this is retarded even for older players?

That's intentional, males sell just not in-game.
They need Severian with the S-rank tag to dodge the drama but none of the fujos are doing DA or learning his rotations, he'll sell plenty of merch outside the game though.
Banyue was a mistake, Lighter and Hugo weren't.

>>582032532
Banyue is absolutely hilarious. A male character in ZZZ that has zero fujo appeal because of him being a robot with none of the usual cookie cutter ikemen features that fujos love. No wonder he'll never get a rerun.

>>582032445

>Skipped Cissia because at that point Seed was too garbage to be worth improving and they don't help eachothers aesthetics
>Skipping Phoenix because nobody likes Ventosa

>>582032445
I don't particularly care for long winded coping.
>New player
Their accounts will be bricked for the next year, so it doesn't matter if their teams are optimal. They don't even know what optimal is
>Older player
You're actually describing a metafaggot. Older players already know how the dev team does things and did their bitching ages ago or moved on.

>>582032726
He's a characterade.for straight males in the wrong game and 95% of his appeal is in the gameplay but it essentially being ten times the effort for 3/4 of the score killed it because it is a gacha after all.
I'll keep saying it, they should've made Banyue a girl.

Man this is all the more demoralising to hear from a fellow 1.0 fag but imo Bagel has the potential to bring back commissions at least if they change the objective from pure money grind. Control skills were a cool idea to do *something* about the ton of i-frames and floaty shit ruining original combat feel, but adding a class of pullable characters who ignored them is such a faggot fucking move even if Claret gameplay in particular is pretty fun. Designs got worse. The story, presentation and location design actually got better, bangboo sovl is still there. All in all, if they don't abandon bagel like they did tv and actually work on it and make it >good, bring back co-op and generally add a bunch of permanent game modes to actually play the game and stay more, life could be dream. Otherwise fuck Hoyo and I'll probably drop gacha altogether.

>>582034650
Claret is even worse. I've said it before, but Claret is the most disappointing agent in the game for me.
I've already outlined why I think she's a failure of a design here (https://arch.b4k.dev/vg/thread/579828032/#q579833409), so I won't repeat it again.
The fact that she only uses that bat mask in her menu animations is even more infuriating.
I have no idea what their character designers are doing. It's like the costume/visual designers are doing one thing and the moveset animators are doing something else entirely. There is zero cohesion right now.

Roxy is just similarly baffling, but in a different way. Her main loop when she's on the field is to do that tornado mode EX thing until she gets three tokens. So let me repeat this: Her onfield time is basically you being unable to even see her because she spins in that tornado mode where she's barely visible.

Disc media has replaced videotapes yet in New Eridu it seems like videotapes and movie theater has become the common way to watch movies. It's a city where old technology mixes with new. I can see people easily going back to smoking real tobacco.

>but pipe smoking is like the straight up rarest form of tobacco intake.
Yunkui Summit is presented in doing things the old fashion way so it wouldn't be too farfetched to assume they have pipes in the temple. The Hoshimi family is an old family and wealthy so they too would likely have pipes. Lucia is from a backwoods town who has easier access to older tech. Also, a pipe fits Lucia that or she would have a special kind of cigarette in a holder. I'll admit I put Neko and Dialyn there for aesthetic reasons. I might put Dialyn below with Promeia because I could see them smoking cigars as a part of work. But if Dialyn were to smoke a pipe it would be a fancy one with an electronic burner or a vape that looks like a pipe. Neko would find one in a Hollow or in a pawn shop.

Hmm, perhaps.

Maybe if there are Nitro-Fuel infused cigars, otherwise she would rather stick with drinking.
>Chingyi wouldn't smoke cause robot, so what's the point.
She doesn't have to drink hot water or tea, but she does anyway. She's an old Chinese martial arts master. she would be likely to smoke.

Im surprised they barely shown what a critical system like the flintworks workshop really is
its like, here is your company advertisement 'mam, and its like barely any of the products, and even their artificial implants NEED constant care of blood that could've been used on their assembly line
it almost makes me wonder why the flint family never just artifically expanded their manufacturing capabilities with bloodbag clones
too... metal? too grimdark?

>>582042191
pretty sure theres some people with blood that can maintain their stuff
like yuzuha

I was hoping we would learn something about how weapons are forged at Flint Workshop, but instead we learn it requires magic blood for some reason and Roxy drinks it to power her fake heart.

Actually she secretly finances them all the time and pays people to engage with the group online/attend shows. Aria and Sunna refuse her money because they want to do it the right way but Nangong has to keep them afloat from personal savings in the shadows

Anon when was the last agent story? I notice you're skipping that question and being a faggot about it. There was at most 1 special episode a year. There was at least 1 agent story every other patch before 2.3 which was a year ago.
Are you really that upset about being wrong? Have I decreased your izzat or something?

>>582043257
I think the devs have, as usual, no clue what the fuck they are doing. Pretty sure all this info about how she makes money is from her affinity quest and it's probably just as BS as pretty much all these other AI generated affinity quests.

Things just being nonsensical makes no sense. On the one hand we are supposed to believe she works her ass off, does stocks and such to earn the money to finance the angels and gets overworked because of it, on the other hand a private helicopter pulled out of the ass. SOMETHING has to be wrong there. And, like I said, the entire damn game and especially affinity quests do this A LOT.

>>582043052
NTA, but Phaethon is plenty involved with agent stories. Unless there is one I haven't done that doesn't have any involvement from the MCs

>>582043531
pay attention to your own argument, you're the one CLAIMING that chinks wanted agent stories GONE because there wasnt the mc there
THE ONE YOU'RE POINTING AT HAS PHAETON IN IT
the last STORY without phaeton's participation was a "SPECIAL EPISODE" Virtual revenge

>>582043668
the only TWO stories without Phaeton are basically Jane's and Yanagi's special episode where they make a cameo at best.
even the last labeled special episode with astra even had phaeton being more involved
I just dont get what the other guy is thinking, Im not even arguing that its been awhile since the last agent story but it could've been there if they've kept it up

Im still guessing most of the team working one it has been shuffled around and those still working in ZZZ have been pushed to event stories and artists being put to work in the merch mines

>>582045494
yuzuha's blood isn't used for production of porcelume, what's special about her blood is that she is functionally entirely immune to ether corruption.
her immune system actively destroys ether, and this is a nondescript highly critical necessity for creating porcelume. it should be stated that yuzuha is not necessary for porcelume production, but is very very useful for it.
porcelloy, on the other hand, is an alloy of a non-mentioned metal blended with porcelume. the part that makes flint blood important for porcelloy production is the fact that it contains... something that allows porcelume to alloy with other metals (which it cannot do otherwise).

>>582046018
No not you! We want Kafka!

>>582046083
>the part that makes flint blood important for porcelloy production is the fact that it contains... something that allows porcelume to alloy with other metals (which it cannot do otherwise).
considering their blood is beneficial to artificial constructs like bangboo, her blood axe being electric, and being necessary to flint family exclusive implants (why roxy needs a refill)
we can safely assume its a type of blood that is atleast emits electricity when it needs to, and can be commanded?

>>582046018
Show your feet

>>582046249
honestly if they were going to make the science important and break it down as much as they did with yuzuha's role in procelume production pipeline, they would've done it by now.
at this point i just assume it just does it because they say it does it, and that's as deep as they intend for the porcelloy science to go.

It has a trianglur shape in the palm that glows, is it some sort glove imbued with wind powers? How does that make sense? And how is he able to spawn in a giant spectral claw (that he sits on)?
