I'm definitely going for Columbina next, but Lunar-Crystallize has certainly peaked my interest. Geo is in a major need of an overhaul but it sounds like it's still getting the short of the stick. I just hope the rumors of Hydro only for Lunar-Crystallize aren't true. But then again, I probably won't be going for Zibai since I'll only have enough for Columbina, if I'm lucky. Plus, I already have the only good C0 Geo character already, Navia. I just don't get why Hoyo hates Geo so much

This is exactly what everyone asked for when they demanded smaller files sizes. Yes, they've been implementing various ways to help reduce the file size for the players who need it, but that's just a Band-Aid. If you really want to make sure that game doesn't become too large in future, then you need to reduce the amount of new, permanent, content to the game.

I personally could care less about file size, but I have 500gb of storage on my phone and ~2tb on my gaming pc. Most people, however, are casual gamers. They likely don't even have a gaming pc and likely have just enough storage on their phones to get by. I'm not happy about it, but enough people complained about it, so Hoyo had to respond.

Personally, I would love if each region was Sumeru size, or close to it. But a Sumeru sized region is never going to happen again. Unfortunately, this trend of less map expansions, when compared to pre-Natlan era, is just going to continue far into the future.

For a game where you spend at least 75% of your time navigating menus, it can feel very clunky and slow. I don't have high hopes, based on their track record for adding QoL features so far, but any reduction of clicks to help speed it up is welcome.

Well maybe I'm not most players, but I like to know what's coming next and they are the worst at releasing any sort of marketing. I think Hoyoverse/Genshin is a good example of how to prepare players for what's coming. They don't officially reveal too much info but they at least give you an idea of what to expect. Then, as the update approaches, they release slightly more and more details. But being as Pokémon is owned by a "legal entity" and not a traditional game company, they have no idea what the word 'community' even means. So, this makes perfect sense on their part: keep the community in the dark to try and boost profits.

I belive the articles that say they're losing players and profit. Dedicating your resources to try and keep a few details under wraps for a couple of weeks, before it's officially released anyways, isn't a good way to retain players. Instead, they should try to involve and engage with the community more, being as their success literally depends on the people playing the game. But that's just not in their philosophy. They'd rather try to steal a fans work of art and not give them proper credit than treat them fairly and with respect. But like I said, this is what happens when a company, that does in fact make games but self identifies as a legal entity. They have one goal; over-protect their assets at all cost and sue absolutely anyone on the planet that gets in their way.

I could see how this event might be enjoyable, but I play with English VO so it's just been a major let down for me. Being able to interact with my favorite characters would be nice, if I could actually hear them speak. The one with Fischl really annoyed me because Oz was voiced but Fischl was not. At least that dumb strike is over now, so hopefully 100% of the characters will be voiced from now on. Otherwise I'll treat it like the previous events: if you can't be bothered to voice the characters, then I can't be bothered to participate.

I got both - in just 40 pulls! 😁 I've been wanting Citlali but didn't intend to pull for her this banner. But I got Ineffa after 20 pulls, so I figured why not go for some Sethos cons on Citlali's banner, but ended up with Citlali in 20 pulls too! I've made nearly 4,000 pulls on character banners alone but I think this one of my luckiest sets of pulls to date. I did also get C5 Sethos, I just hope C6 shows up out of the blue soon. Next up, I'm pulling for Lauma and Aino cons 🤞

- good luck everyone with your pulls!
