THANK YOU EVERYONE FOR THE SUPPORT AND KIND WORDS ! I wish I could make more videos/guides about ZZZ but I have so little time available 😅 But don't worry, they will come ! Thank you all once again!!
On the last point, I DEFINITELY agree with lol I'm in my late 20s and it literally feels like the devs grew up with me and watched all the same media I watched lmao ZZZ really feels like a love letter to 90s-2000s anime and games! ZZZ hooked me in with Caesar since she is like one big reference to Fate/Stay Night
@@Skullnezz “King” is a large part of Caesar’s identity while being a girl AKA Saber. And when you pull Caesar, she even says “are you my proxy?” which references “are you my master?” in Fate! Also Caesar’s design is very reminiscent to Jeanne Alter. She shares a lot of similarities with her and one of Jalter’s charm points is her gap moe, which Hoyo is also pushing for Caesar There could be more like Calydon being phonetically similar to Camelot but that’s kinda reaching lmao
9:34 I swear, the second I saw those iconic foreheads, I swear, my soul felt as if it left my Body! Honestly, this was a really well-made video showing the strengths and weaknesses of this game. I've been pretty hooked on it for the past couple of months, and honestly, I really enjoy the characters, the story, the art, and definitely the satisfying combat (and Von Lycaon). I'd have to agree with the rest of this comment section in that this is a pretty good video essay, being well thought out but also funny. And thank god, I was so happy that you actually mention Code Lyoko, I may have only first watched it in 2020, but it is one of my all-time favorite shows and I have had a severe obsession with it for the past 4 years. I'm glad I'm not the only one who saw this similarity (the crazy part is, I even called it a few minutes ahead, but was still actually surprised when it was mentioned)
I thought I was maybe doing a stretch on the final point but as I can see I was right on point hahahaha ZZZ Devs and it's players had the same childhood it seems 😂
What I really like is how each new Hoyo game feels catered to their audience as they age. I enjoyed Genshin in my late teens when I had loads of time to play; I started Star Rail when I became more busy and was burnt out on open world; ZZZ hits that perfect balance to me - Star Rail's auto is a huge plus for others but for me, I want to be engaged while playing and not just AFK-farm, so the fact ZZZ wants me not only to play the game, but to master its combat mechanics and become better at playing it is perfect for me. I want something I don't have to too much time in, but also something that activates all my neurons while playing it.
The combat is the reason why I became so intruged with the game in the first place. I saw how cool anby and billy was, the longer I kept playing, the more I got deeply into it. I'm now a ZZZ fan... this is the first ever gatcha game I've ever played and probably the only one since I don't like turn based. Don't get me started with OST's in this game. The new 1.2 music in combat is soooooooo goooood, I might add it into my music playlist for working out at the gym.
The gameplay is really fun and rewarding, the characters have a lot of charm and personality. Both combined really shine during combat making everyone unique. Honestly the looks are just the cherry on top.
That's what I'm saying. Sure you can market a hottie but what's the point if you can't resonate with them or their personality is milquetoast (bland) and boring. Favs so far and Piper, Koleda, and Burnice because I genuinely like their backstory and the way they act
broooooooo the S4 League vibes are what i thought aswell! this game captures 2000's vibes perfectly, been playing daily for 2,5 months! i love this game
As a very mentally ill gacha player, I love ZZZ, it's definitely my favorite Gacha right now, Hoyo's games are always really good but this one just clicked with my brain, the more modern urban aesthetic just gave them the opportunity to make some really unique and interesting character designs in both the men and the women (I do have a slight preference towards the men tho, hope they make some more of them ) Also all Hoyo's games have banger music, they are quite different from ZZZ tho because of the settings of the games, but they're all really really good
I like your talking style here. Many videos talk extremely fast but you really take the time to say what you want to say and the slight pauses give me time to absorb it. Nice detail I also really love the game and like you was very unsure about enjoying gachas like this Very well done video, I can feel your enjoyment through it and a lot of the points you bring up are great This game has an amazing artistic direction with insanely fun gameplay that actually has meaning (as you said) outside of stats. I hope this game continues to be successful and reach more and more players
Erase Twitter's existence and then and ONLY then will the game sky rocket in popularity. Every other week there's some kind of ZZZ drama on there and it's agonizing.
It's Twitter, they will hate everything. Also, I've seen a good amount of hate on Facebook and Instagram, there's the vocal minority who screeches everytime they see sex appeal in games simply because it's not their cup of tea, and therefore in their logic, it's bad anyone who likes it is also bad.
This is a really high quality video, also well edited, you definitely deserve way more subscribers. I agree with all your points too, especially the music, I'm actively bopping my head in combat while dodging and reacting and having a good time. I'd like to add that I enjoy the story and character's quite a bit too and as for the more mature audience thing, I agree with that too, I think Mihoyo has said they purposefully gave their artists as much creative freedom as they could for the sake of expression and it shows, they're not afraid and confident in their product and know their audience. Also the response to feedback might actually be their strongest suit, right now they're 100% listening to, applying feedback and not just sitting on things, I think the game can only go up from here.
Top tier game and top tier Devs! ^^ And we are only at the beginning of 1.2... I love the fact that the game is 16+ so there is a bit more freedom for the team (wink wink). PS. 5:45 I hate curtains.
ngl i was genuinely surprised when i finished the video and saw only 100 views and 43 subs, my goodness this is some high quality content. You've earned a sub and a like. (i cant believe 0 effort content on my channel has more views than this)
I dont think that the character visuals are that important to me. it should at least look good, but visuals alone dont make them interesting. zhu yuan is stacked, but she is a very patient and considerate individual. she calls her mom everyday, and even gives tech support to parents without screaming (only possible to saints). she's hot, and emotionally stable. that's hot.
100% agree ! That's why I don't have any problems with the sexualization of the characters, they fit very well with the story, grown adults and they don't seem forced...for the most part...
BTW, Backup Battery Charge is kinda hit'n'miss thing. It is nice to have, but it definitely don't replace logging in twice a day. The thing is, you get 1 charge once every 18 minutes. So, it's not 1:1 with normal battery charge, it's 3 times slower. O_O To get 240 backup battery charge you have to be offline for whole 3 days with capped battery and that's 1 day worth of normal battery charge and to reach 2400 cap, you have to be offline for the entire month. So, nice to have, but if you don't want to waste anything you still have to come online twice a day or so. -_-
I've seen a lot of people talk shit about ZZZ because it's a "gooner game", but you couldn't say it better in this video. The fanservice doesn't feel out of place, I think it just adds to the general aesthetic they're trying to create; the characters look like 90s fighting games and we all know how they were designed back then. I like to compare it to Kill La Kill, that anime has A LOT of degenerate scenes and yet it doesn't feel wrong because it's just part of the title(? the whole power system revolves around getting stripped lmao. Bayonetta, Guilty Gear or NieR also comes to mind, sometimes you just have to embrace the "plot".
The only people who get upset with a game's sex appeal like this one, are the ones to can't differentiate fiction from reality. Big booty police officer is well written character and isn't just there to be eye candy. The women in the game aren't made to mock women, make them seem lesser to men, they're usually the heros and have some of the best character work. It always makes me wonder if these people see women who dress sexy in real life, and get upset with them for wanting to look and feel sexy.
this is the best gacha game in my opinion, but it will always be the smaller game compared to genshin and HSR and i don't think it will reach half of the popularity of the other games
I think that's good in the end. It could have chosen to be a decent game for everyone, or the perfect game for fewer people, and I'm glad they're sticking with the latter.
i read somewhere that zzz is called the "tourist filter" as a lot of "those" people were thrown off by the fanservice or they just couldn't handle the games difficulty. and i believe it's a really good thing. those people will never contribute financially anyway and will just be complaining for every irrelevant thing they don't like in the game. better keep those noisy people away 😆
THANK YOU EVERYONE FOR THE SUPPORT AND KIND WORDS !

Even the music while just running around in Blazewood is so good, sometimes I just go to Blazewood and stand in place just to listen to the ost
Yea, this game takes me back to simpler times.Gantz is one of my all-time favorites. Dope video.
@@fireawnjoel313 And to this day, there's no anime/manga similar to it lol

I still laugh at the thought of some CCs doomposting the game even before release.😂
"Dead on Arrival" they say,... sadly for them, it made hundred million on first month... 😅
@@yustian7197 yeah fr, if a random CC don't like it its "dead on arrival" 😂
Why can't anyone praise this game on it's own merits without shitting on other gachas, especially Genshin?
Because CCs need the hate bait to keep people engaged.
Where did I shit on Genshin?? I just said it wasn't for me lol
Especially that stupid egg lmao, if he didn't talk anything genshin he would have fell off by now.

Sorry bro, im not gonna lie, i didn't listen to a word you said. I blame you for putting this banger music in the background.
Forgiveness is a Bro thing... I'll let it pass...only this time 🧐
What were the songs used in the video?. Edit: feelsgoodman for being 100th sub. Thanks for a great vid!
which minute?
