Yeah the story would be more tense if the characters are moving around and acting normally. Even though I know how the story quest goes,I still feel like I am on the edge of the seat by listening their every word and every action.

in my case, in the part where yelan goes down with a descending attack, it makes me a bit uncomfortable xd

I understand the point.. But you also need to understand that this is also a game made for Mobile..not just PC..so adding every little detail while it does put a cherry on the top..data storage is still data storage.. Tbf having voice acting in it already enough..they put it in every character story quest/hangout..and Archon quest.. At least still better than no voice all dialogue during World quest/minigame event

I agree, the cutscenes I dont like. You should animate more. I'm not even good at the game

Maybe if the game wasnt so mobile focused then the devs would have a lot more freedom, but i hope they find a way to improve basic stuff like that in the future

lol such a deep analysis

Still enjoyed it though, lore and ending animation wise

Yeah

@@elyindeyang2152 lol

Ye it's so goofy

Yeah :(

Yeah but they can't do much because they have to worry about it running on mobile 💀 If genshin was pc focused then the devs would have so much freedom

​@@itriyum Eh, I always figured it was because of localization issues. While it would be nice to have the mouthing and physical mannerisms match up, they would have to time it for every single language.

@@itriyum Animation data are stored via keyframes. The animation in this video was done by keyframes, the same method is used for genshin's usual stock "animations" you see. If the devs were to insert fully rendered animations, they'd end up being heavy, but storing animation via keyframe data for the engine to animate the characters by itself on the go doesn't take space, and will animate at the same pace as your device's capacity. It's just laziness.

@@itriyum I hope they'll do it once Sumeru comes out because I'm 100% sure all the mid range mobile players (including me sadly) will get perished so they got a bit of space to work on some heavy project

Yea

There is more work in a little video than the game itself with the animation and character body language. Sad to see that mihoyo is not really trying to put some effort in it. (Iam not talking about the ingame cinematics), those are beautiful, but they need to put the same effort or close to it to how characters interact with eachothers in a dialogue.

@@blackister4768 Agreed. Hell, i don't mind if the ingame quality falls down a bit during dialogue scenes so long as we get proper animations that match their speech. Small time genshin animators with a budget of zero already do a better job than mihoyo with their millions. :/ Compared to how I felt when I saw this part of the quest in-game, I felt way more engrossed watching this than I did then. Such a small thing adds so much life to the characters.

@@a1038954 Ingame we have like 3-4 animations in a dialog, and its the same for every characters. They are not even trying to sync the mouth too, some time a character will speak with his mouth closed. I know its a phone game, i know they are greedy and they don't care about anything but money is the only word, they need to do better. Even if its not the main problem in the game, they need to do more than just doing the bare minimum.

I wouldn't mind replaying the entire game if they gave more life and animation to the cutscenes

Sus

"Oni *COMIN THROUGH"*

@@kison7715 oni COMIN

exactly

Na if they do that then the game size needed to be increased pretty drastically although still it's a really good concept

Some people don’t care about the storage Lmao anyway..

I guess they'll eventually do it since a Genshin anime is on the way.

@@TheCucoGamer Most of the playerbase consist of mobile users with low storage phones, so a lot of people would care 🗿

They even have the same haircut...

To be fair, the same lady won't accept a rematch. To Itto, that's pretty close to an admission of defeat.

@@allenearl1514 Yes, but he's also trying to skew that rematch in his favor by challenging her to a sumo match which she, being smaller thinner and lighter, clearly has a disadvantage in. He ain't challenging her to proper fight like last time, because he might lose again.

@@judaihyuga As much as I love Itto, I think you're giving him too much credit in the intelligence department. Lol

@@joshbenn3079 did not even realize 😂 bro has a type

Actually, it'd be more accurate to the scene with the mask on I think. Truly a chad.

Ok but like IttoSara is so wholesome once you get past their grudges uwu

@@musingsofahomeschooler5332 ew no, cringe.

How u gonna leave xiao out

Sorry but what world quest is this ? A yelan story quest ?

@@fayed1424 this was an archon quest intermission iirc

@@swagmaster-vn2dx ah i see

It really had such a perfect cast. Itto's comic relief and Yelan's seriousness, Kuki's straight man and Yanfei's mediator role, the characters' personalities complimented and contrasted each other perfectly. The quest felt like the perfect thriller and I was genuinely gripped till the end, played it all in one sitting which I don't think I've done for any other quests.

I like to think she's hovering, not flying

noooo that would've been perfect QAQ

Ive heard enough of it during her burst lol

I honestly thought she was going to say that and was kinda disappointed

major missed opportunity

If they wanted, they could do it.

@@shevek5185 that's really not how it works... This kind of animation takes time, which is why you only see 1-3 animated or mo-capped scenes in any event or story quest. Animators aren't machines, and while I think they could maybe squeeze in a couple more here and there to emphasize certain scenes better, it's not easy for them to do too many more than a few.

@@sneakretster this is a company that makes more than 1 billion every six months and these are not the most complex cinematographics. They could totally do it.

@@shevek5185 if you expect them to somehow make animations for most cutscenes of the same quality as the specific cutscenes then you obviously don't really know anything about game development and the time things take, regardless of profits 🤨

@@shevek5185 that's optimistic, but the millions they earn is not going to the game alone, and I'm positive you know that. There are expenditures and investments behind the scenes that go unrecognized. They have other games to make, employees to pay, offices and equipment to maintain, miscellaneous items to purchase, legal matters to attend, etc. This isn't just a group of people making a game. This is a company that actually provides desk jobs, and that money is going to a lot of places, not just animation. I'm not saying I'm against Hoyo investing in better quality animations. I'm all for it, but this is not something that can be implemented overnight. In fact, I believe they're making great strides as of late, outputing more animations, larger maps, etc. They definitely have these improvements in mind, but business decisions have to be made.

Yeah. Mocap isnt that hard. Though maybe... storage consuming

Probably because people were already complaining about the 20 smth GB updates. I doubt phone storage can take much more

There's a lot of logistical issues that'll stop this from ever happening. Most people mentioned storage already but the amount time it would take to animate every scene like this in a game that has to push updates every 6 weeks is asking for bit too much.

Y’all are right- 😭

And busty too.

He's fighting the good fight against yee yee haircuts.

Mihoyo is a smol indie company so they have to reuse animations

@@siegfried1062 yeah man they only worth 7 billion dollars thats a very small amount for a company

@@somekami3375 Onis are just as, if not stronger, than Tengu's. Kujou Sara won because she was able to outsmart Itto.

I mean- *we* BROKE the initial powerful magical barrier officially created by the Qixing 😂😅

@@neolithicgamer0072 True. But they still could have put up another barrier

Except once the traveler clears the way to the Nail, you can find Qixing/Milelith personnel on both camps our expedition team used along the way + the 3rd one where the team is stationed. What kind of BS luck Itto/Shinobu must've had to miss them all is beyond me...

Funny, I thought Yelan has the rights to do so and Itto shouldn't get the butts of these at all, yet at the same time, I found Itto's antics being hilariously entertaining and more than often to break conventions of Teyvat people's usual monotonous conversations

There are guards everywhere in the official entrances of the chasm. And still, the law enforcement's shortcomings don't excent you from a crime. Itto was trasspassing a restricted area, simple as that. You need special permits to be in the Chasm. Saying Itto is fine just because there wasn't any sign is like saying that you are not wrong for breaking inside someone's house because the door was unlocked.

Now that I think of it, Yelan must reminded him of Sara even if it's just a tad.

They could do it,but we have to download extra GB for that

I was pretty sure it was primarily a pc game?

@@Imyourmomsgirlfriend nope, mobile market makes up an estimated 9/10ths of the playerbase

@@cscotch1127 Could I trouble you to link me that information? Only thing I can find is the fact that Mihoyo apparently doesn't want to share their statistics from PC and Playstation, so it's hard to compare information. I would be very greatful

@@cscotch1127 even if the marketing is good in phones STILL it was originally made to be a pc game, do you think phones can support so high graphics?. And Did you see the sand physics? Huh? It's perfectly works in pc, the sand physics is great there but just for phones they had to remove the physics of sand so that we can play it without lag and all that, it's called compressing, they made the gale compressed so that the phone players can play, They came up with the idea of bringing the game to phones because everyone has a phone but not everyone has a PC, and if ppl play their game in phones their marketing will rise, research before you say sm. I somehow feel very offended if you say it was originally for phones even though it's not

@@rans0mware well you should be able to openly find they made a billion dollars in their first year. 1 billion was made from mobile. And they consistent adhere to the mobile space by far. And if u look at gaming as a whole mobile is in the stratosphere in terms of numbers compared to the rest of the gaming industry. A sad truth not just wealth wise but playerbase wise. 100 million people have a ps4 but about 5 billion people have phones.

SO TRUE

Mobile players: 💀

Wouldn’t they be able to.. not hand draw them instead? Or at least not ALL of them. Like people should still be able to keep their jobs, maybe painting backgrounds or doing the sketches + overall flow of the animation but it would REALLY spice up the gameplay.
