I'm saying Luofu finale because it ended the 1.0 arc and people were hopeful for something better, but then we got the absolute trash ruan mei/ratio episode with rick & morty tier humor, foreshadowing villains that would be killed off screen two patches later, but also the amazing argenti sidequest that showed absolutely zero action, or spaceship, or giant space monster, it felt like watching a low budget sitcom.
And only then did we get to penacony which made me hopeful that the game would finaly pick up only to be bombarded by self aware trashcan jokes, switch to aventurine pov, non sensical plot jumping randomly between serious tone and amusement park dates, and exhausting jpg yap segments about some random returnee from hi3rd that manages to be yet another boring stoic katana woman like in every hoyo game, and then I dropped the game during the airship patch because it was so low effort.
So no I wouldn't say penacony was great, and I believe that even if I kept playing through amphoreus I still wouldn't think penacony was great. It had some alright parts like the end of 2.0 that left us hanging with the robin murder but you had to be there at the time to even take part in the discussion about it. The sunday fight was pretty good everything leading to it was awful because the HSR team is too preoccupied with inserting two new characters per patch into the current plot rather than writing a compelling story.
