The (very) old thread
>>89 has reached bump limit.
Nonas, do you still play Genshin? Even if you don't, you must still be seeing all the fanart. Indeed, Hoyoverse remains the only gacha company that still tries to pander to fujos.
For those who still play; SNEZHNAYA IS FINALLY HERE! Has been for a few weeks now. Discuss the new region (or the old regions/game in general if you prefer) or just post fan-art that you like!
Some questions that you can answer, to make it easier to start discussion (in the old thread's fashion):
>Have you already completed the first part of the Snezhnaya Archon quest and the exploration Did you like it? >Who are your favourite new characters so far?>Do you enjoy the new ships?>Who do you want to roll for?>What do you hope to see in the future? No.5886
I dropped Hoyo after the AI stuff but it still feels surreal that Snezhnaya is playable now. IMO the fujo aspect of the game peaked in Sumeru (several years ago!) but the new boys are cute. I'll pick up the tl;dr after it's over.
Honestly surprised they weren't sitting on a Childe skin to drum up reactivation.

>>5886>the AI stuff Don't take my word for it but I read it's not that they're going to use AI to write and to make models. They invested in AI (as every company is doing now) for some other project. They're not planning to turn Genshin into AI-slop.
>Honestly surprised they weren't sitting on a Childe skin to drum up reactivation.Same. But hey he's still here in all his old glory. Waiting for his banner. ZhongChi got me into shipping (yes I'm a newgen)

>>5886I haven't been into Genshin for a hot minute but did they just give up on tall male x tall male ships? The newer pairings I see now are between the tall male and short male model.

>>5887>They invested in AI (as every company is doing now) for some other project.Consorting with the slop machine at all is enough to make me drop any IP under that umbrella. My backlog is gigantic, I could die of natural causes before I complete every piece of media I'm interested in published before this tech shat in the bed.
>>5889They somehow lost the recipe after Alhaitham/Kaveh.

>>5889>>5890They're probably going to do something with Noy. Either Noy x Flin or Noy x Valeriy. At least that's what I'm hoping for.
>Consorting with the slop machine at all is enough to make me drop any IP under that umbrella.I understand your view but everyone is being manipulated by tech billionaires into thinking that if you don't invest in AI you are doomed. Hopefully the bubble will burst soon and it will teach everyone a lesson.

>>5889Latest fujobait has mostly been tall male x short male, surprisingly enough.

>Have you already completed the first part of the Snezhnaya Archon quest and the exploration?
I have.
>Did you like it?
I adore snowy regions, so Snezhnaya is 10/10 in that aspect (and as a teapot main I hope to god Hoyo lets us have a snowy teapot realm.) Music is damn good as well as expected. For exploration, I liked everything but the Shadow Realm bullshit. It would fine if it was purely optional, but it's forced in the Archon and World quests. The Prime Ice stuff is neat, though I turned off the signs/messages from other players. Made the world look messy and a lot of them were more obvious than helpful.
For the story of the AQ, I wasn't really interested until the very end. The WQ were far better imo.
>Who are your favourite new characters so far?
Sadly, no one has really "wowed" me save for perhaps Pierro. Valeriy might hold some potential I admit, so we'll see what they do with him.
And the Tsaritsa I guess, only because her son was definitely Khaenri'ahn, and Hoyo dropped that lore nuke.
>Do you enjoy the new ships?
Not really.
>Who do you want to roll for?
I'm c6ing my Flins with this upcoming rerun, after that, C6ing Neuvillette when he reruns. Other than that, saving for Khaenri'ah. Unless the second half of Snezhnaya gives us the remaining male Harbingers, or brings back certain Khaenri'ahns (Rerir and Capitano), my primos are safe.
>What do you hope to see in the future?
Flins lore/Lantern Fae lore since Nod Krai didn't give us anything about him save for the most basic and barest of minimums.

Some of the new guys look cute but I'm too pissed about their double standards in designs and the obvious incel pandering. I hate what they did with the harbingers. I guess they're trying to bring back some female fans who might have been waiting for Cap/Dottore/Pantalone to be playable by leaking playable Dainsleif and Enjou instead. I'm getting tired of this nothing story being dragged out even further because it's an easy cash cow for Hoyoverse.
