reading to leaks, those four are just the beginning. in the beta for 2.5, apparently more characters got nerfs. like, ganyu's outfit got more modest, some breast reductions and xiao lost his tattoos.
That’s just a rumour right now. I for one don’t mind the censoring of waifus. If anything, I wanted Rosaria to be more goth and I wanted updated models for Monstadt characters. Now all they gotta do is fix Albedo’s hair.
They’ll care when all future characters and cutscenes adhere to the new censorship laws.
The shit with the raiden shogun being a ruthless dictator was stated as being a "new-ish thing" even before the story chapters came out. If you didn't see there being some reason shit going weird there was sus to begin with and just assume it's a censorship thing instead of an actual story thing I'm not sure what to say.
The muscle is probably like that because of the limitatons and cel shading thing the game has going on. I wasn't bothered by it and just took him as a sorta lean muscular guy. I've seen guys built like that IRL, one of them was a dude back in highschool who was literally named chad and fucking towered over even the school staff.
iunno fam, this is the same game that had its chinese-inspired god incredibly weak, who then got buffed up in the next version after a huge stink from chinese fans. the same game that killed off a main antagonist allegedly because of the government cracking down on fanservice characters. the same game that blocks you from changing usernames and signatures on chinese holidays even on the global server because they're worried about shittalking the ccp, and for the same reason mentioning ccp is blocked in chat.
But then how would players know these characters are male?!1
I always thought it was due to finance department or something else stating, that Raidens banner should go first, and Kokomi second. Logically, however, Kokomi should've be the first one. That way we would've had a whole patch dedicated to the resistance business, and only after that we'd go at Raiden for a whole other patch. But at some point they were ordered to re-arrange the banners and had to rearrange the story accordingly. I think, finance management meddling is the most rational explanation of why the story felt so gimped.
Actually, if memory serves, Genshin changed writing teams before Inazuma was finished which meant they had to rewrite a pretty considerable part of the Inazuman story arc.
god that reminds me how We know from leaks from before inazuma that there's banner art of the fucking fatui bitch that got merced in the inazuma plotline and the lore about her somewhat implies she might not be actually perma-dead so we'll have to wait and see.
Where'd that banner leak come from? I've been following leaks pretty thoroughly and I've never seen any hints towards that. In fact, general consensus amongst leakers is that Signora was never meant to be playable at all, for a variety of reasons.
Although I'm not sure about the origin of that leak, I'm pretty sure that characters dying and then being revived is a staple in mihoyo's other game, honkai. I'd say there's a fair chance of signora being revived, maybe in the final chapters of the story when you attack celestia or some shit. Bonus points for le seemingly evil nation of NotRussia actually being the ones who help you the most.
That's fair, though I'd argue that if she were revived it'd be with such a different design and personality that I'm not sure it'd be worth it in the first place.
Gacha shit only kinda necessary if you want to reliably clear one endgame portion of content. Everything else can be done by characters you recieved for free. Even said content(Abyss) can be done that way, but that would require hella time. And I don't think it worth the grind, because it's just a bunch of arenas with a bunch of progressively bulkier mobs with a timer. All else can be solved by knowing how stuff works and properly managing resources, mostly due to the fact that most other content doesn't have bullshit timer and bullshit bulky mobs simultaniously.
