It has just a little more soul with Rinacita, but this is still one of the things that kills it for me.

The only way to get to know the characters is to read their info in the profile, otherwise you only get the basics of their personality archetype in quests where they're relevant so they always feel soulless. The world around also still feels somehow more dead than Genshin's even though I have no logical explanation for that. Plus the story doesn't even want to try being coherent, it's really just Rover following the latest vagina and finding adventure. The closest thing they came up with recently for an overarching motivation is that Abby is suddenly dying because reasons and we gotta see the Raguna Sentinel to cure him because it somehow has something to do with making echos work (even though Raguna is completely isolated and the Sentinel has been getting raped by the Threnodian for 20 years but somemhow echos still work fine everywhere else)
Also all the events feel like exhausting makework except for Sominoire because it's always either "HARDCORE button mashing HP sponges for hardcore gamers such as myself" or spend 2 hours per run of bullshit 2D movie or cubes. Genshin has done some of the former too lately but at least it doesn't usually overstay its welcome
