Everyone needs to grow up with at least one company that gives a fuck about the things they make, yeah.
And it sure as fuck isn't modern SE, that unholy chimera of Microsoft-Activision-Blizzard-ToiletGames or Epic.
I think they fumble shit here and there but at the end of the day, I can trust that (for now) these fucks do care about the shit they're making.

>First, let's talk about the IP. The original intention behind miHoYo's establishment was to create an IP that would leave an eternal memory in the hearts of a generation, just like Macross, Evangelion, and The Matrix did. For example, Macross taught me about love triangles, Evangelion made me a fan of Anno's works, and The Matrix became the ultimate goal for our company's striving. Before founding miHoYo, I also attempted animation and comics, but at that time, considering the environment and personal abilities, it wasn't enough to achieve success. So when we started to choose games as our product format, we were thinking about how to make it last for twenty, fifty, or even longer. A single game will grow old, but an IP can endure.

Square and Enix both made good games before they became Square Enix, the issue is the same issue GameFreak has.

their games didn't improve with the times, try going back and playing the old good games they made from back in the day, they are still fun but do they reach the same heights of what is considered a good game these days?

Square enix made an "RPG" with 1 playable character, no elements, no status effects, no magic spells, only one type of weapon, one armor slot, no trade offs between different weapons/armors, but it does have 5 different skills for parrying and dodging.
They also made a long awaited "remake" that injects 50 hours of worthless padding and AAA slop "interactivity" onto an original story that then gets changed into multiverse time travel shit that no one can even understand enough to defend.

NTA but ill answer the question, using this most recent month:

welkin + battle pass average to about $12 for the month

on no-content days about 10 minutes per day using resin for artifacts, x 31 days is 310 minutes or 5 hours 10 minutes for the month.

there are usually a minigame event here and there but nothing too time consuming, maybe an hour or two total

recently there was a summer event and Ineffa character quest maybe 10-15 hours between the two

end game content reset of Imaginarium Theater, Spiral Abyss, and Stygian Onslaught. SO is the only really time consuming one but between the three probably 3-4 hours on this for the month but i only did SO to difficulty 5.

totaled out to something like 26 hours and $12 spent.

i got 19 hours out of Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart for example and i bought that when it was new, while Genshin I've played for over 3 years at this point.

Yes, I forgot about Japan and Korea but the west is a minority in terms of gacha playerbase. Not even 10% of it is based in the United States.
The only times chinese/japanese gacha reach mainstream was 2020 Genshin, Pokemon shit, and Umamusume (which the uma fad is already over)

Wrong. A third of new installs are from the US, it's the REVENUE that is ~10% because western people don't spend in gacha like Asians do.
The top Genshin markets are China, US and Russia. Japan, SEA and Europe are lower.

Genshins main story is very enthralling, unfortunately it constitutes roughly 0.04% of the game's text. The gameplay is really satisfying, varied and easily best in class all time for action-adventure games. You hate it because of performative opinions for other men. I started with final fantasy in terms of RPGs and my opinions are generally the best on /v/. You can try to argue but you don't have a mortgage or joint problems, so why would I even care what you think?

With genshin miliastra coming out soon, I look forward to the ability to make thousands of people happy with my creations. It's an exciting time. I've been modding games since 1994, and genshin has a special place in gaming history to me.

Muh gacha though (even though genshin dispelled every reason you think you are supposed to hate these games)

I remember when Genshin started out as just "That Chinese BoTW clone" and I'd never heard about Mihoyo. I just thought it looked interesting. Didn't know it was a gacha until launch, but I just enjoyed running around the open world and beating shit up any way. It's cozy.

Genshin has some neat schizo gnostic lore, but then also twenty-hour sidequests where you just help Old Man Fu with this flower garden while he lectures you about the upcoming community flower viewing festival (sponsored by The Public Festivals & Cultural Committee of Liyue).

And yet I still keep doing these quests for some reason.

Raiden's on paper gimmick was
>battery expensive bursts/use bursts/empower her burst/swap to Raiden/subdps/restart
Except it didn't really work, her multipliers are too low, electro messes up reactions. And because they were expecting this to be a mechanic, they gave Inazuma characters really expensive bursts.
The only team that could actually cycle this mechanic was national, and she was arguably not even its best driver. C0 Raiden was always fucking useless until Dendro and using her as a hyperbloom trigger and battery.

I think it's that the Chinese are lot more shameless about blatantly copypasting than the Japanese are. China's entire economy is based on copypasting everyone else's economy, doing it cheaper, and not caring how much they pollute their country or how poor a condition their people live in. They make multi-story buildings out of sawdust so that they can commit insurance fraud, and they have people jumping in front of cars to also commit insurance fraud.

The Japanese are too honorable to just blatantly copypaste Genshin (which copypasted BotW, a Japanese game, btw) like everyone in China is doing.

It's just facts, man. China's entire infrastructure is copypasting what other people are doing, for cheaper. That's why every 3D Gayshit clone is Chinese. Actually, is one of them Korean? They have zero shame. They pride themselves on their ability to press ctrl+c and ctrl+v. The thing that started it all, Gayshit, is itself just a ctrl+c ctrl+v of BotW (a Japanese game).

>>717625851
The Gayshit clones are all Chinese. Maybe one is Korean.

I see you're completely out of touch with Japanese games.
Like the totally not Star Rail Madoka game, or the newest mainline Atelier game, Ryza's successor, is aping a fuckton of things straight from Genshin.
I wouldn't mind if it was done well but this is literally "Oy, Tanaka-san, you go make geemu rike Chaina butto no budget, use famous IPnoBrandRoyariti to make up for bad graphics, assets and lack of everything." "Hai, kashikomarimashita, tenchou!"

Star Rail is literally Persona 5 (a Japanese game), just with less buttons. Your feeble argument cannot possibly be that the Japanese are copying the Chinese... for the JRPG patented 4 niggas in a row formula, are you?

It's seeming like this thread is not actually a discussion thread, but rather a blind Chinese dick sucking thread.

Japan is doing literally nothing but dying together with the rest of the Western industry. China is buying all of their smaller studios. I guess you won't wake up until they start buying out Nintendo and FromSoftware as well.

Genshin is also more than just gacha. You can argue it's the evolution of the MMO genre and is not very different from them in terms of monetization. They always had lootboxes and p2w stuff.

MiHoYo invented all video games. There are ZERO video games that existed before MiHoYo blessed the world with Genshin Impact. All video games that currently exist and that will exist in the future are all derivatives of a Hoyoverse game. So it is written by us (Chinese) zoomers, so it is known by us (Chinese) zoomers.

You are retarded. Square Enix will outlive HoYoverseโ€”and not just because of legacy, but because of resilience, diversity, and vision.

Square Enix has weathered decades of industry shifts, from the pixelated dawn of RPGs to the modern era of live-service games. Itโ€™s not just a companyโ€”itโ€™s a cornerstone of gaming history.

Dismissing a company like Square Enix because of a few missteps or personal bias ignores the broader picture. Criticism is validโ€”but cynicism isnโ€™t.

Imagine if you could just beam into the brain of a 57-year-old Japanese bigwig vidya executive EXACTLY how many horrible soulless bugman decisions he has made over his career, and how much better and less gay everything he's EVER had a say on could be if he weren't a dickless golem maggot who cares nothing for decency, truth, art, or what's right.

>this is the same issue Game Freak has
retarded fucking take. Square's issue is their obsession with presentation that's been around since the SNES era, but only became a problem when HD development slowed their release cycle down to a crawl, causing their games to get bigger and more expensive (and also blander because there's less room for experimentation).
Game Freak is the exact fucking opposite. they weren't even good devs on the game boy, they really just fell ass backwards into a successful game and barely made that work, and have been coasting by doing the bare minimum since.
they're both retarded, but that's the only thing they have in common, they have near completely opposite types of retardation.

no matter how far genshin moves away from its roots the inspiration was undeniable, especially when the game was just Mondstat.
I don't know why you guys bother denying it, it's not even a bad thing that they copied a good aesthetic and the good mechanics from a popular game. all good games take what they want from their predecessors.

Every so often there's a changing of the guard with dominant companies. The ones who truly stay around forever and stay strong are rare. Not unheard of but rare. Old companies get complacent, lethargic, whatever word you wanna use it. Mihoyo was a buncha Chinese weebs passionate and very tapped into the current gaming market. In 25-30 years they'll be out of touch (possibly) the way that square don't know shit of what people want nowadays with their

Also why the fuck is it so slow for captchas
