    Hi Bran, I'm a Genshin player from China who's been following you for a long time, I don't know if you'll see this comment but I'd like to say something anyway, of course it's only my personal opinion, so I apologise in advance if it's controversial🥺. I'm glad you watched this video about the development of mihoyo, a Chinese gaming company. I was playing Genshin because of the music, and what attracted me to the game at the time was that I heard traditional Chinese folk music tunes in this game, which is very rare because actually the term ACG mostly refers to Japanese anime and games. At a time when Japanese anime culture was spreading all over the world, Genshin used the anime style in the "Liyue" area to promote and spread some traditional Chinese culture and music to the world, which I think is not easy. I didn't know much about Japanese anime, and I didn't know about The Legend of Zelda at the time, but I just thought that mihoyo's use of anime, which is the mainstay of Japanese culture, to spread our culture was something I was very proud of. So at the time, even after I saw the comments that said Genshin copied the Legend of Zelda, it didn't affect my mood to keep playing.
    This feeling peaked when I came to the UK to study, and was still very homesick in my first year in the UK, when Genshin released "Lantern Rite" and "The Divine Damsel of Devastation", it was the first time I had ever spent Chinese New Year in a foreign country, so I was very, very impressed that mihoyo could do that. And of course it was even stronger when I saw that you foreign players were also touched by these traditional Chinese stories. So I'm really thankful that mihoyo can bring this kind of game to the world, and I'm really thankful for all the support from foreign players like you. Sorry this review is a bit too long, I hope you will continue to enjoy Genshin, including Star Rail!🫡

    I think it's really cute how much hoyoverse loves kiana, she's basically been their mascot since the start of their career making games, they love her so much that they add her to ALL of her games as a protagonist or a really important character to the plot, hence why she's one of the first characters you see in genshin as the unknown god! i'm really confident that the unknown god is meant to be genshin's version of kiana kaslana (i mean they have the same VAs lol) and i'm so hyped for when we get to meet her again.

    I think most people who see the history of hoyoverse games know that genshin exists because of honkai impact 3rd, but i want to elaborate a bit more on that.
    Honkai 3rd was originally an action game played in stages, the story would have open areas that you could fight in, but they were small and not very complex, however sometime in 2017 they added the Sakura samsara open world to honkai 3rd (featuring yae sakura), which was an open world map different to the rest of the game since it had a fully explotable area for players to experience, this single feature is why genshin exists, it's because players responded really well to sakura samsara and the devs liked it too, so from that feedback they started to develop a game focused entirely on open world exploration.

    so the thing with the game awards:
    The finalists were : Sonic Frontiers, Genshin Impact, Stray, GoW Ragnarok and Elden Ring
    Early on, Sonic frontiers was leading, genshin wasn't even close to winning... BUT, Sonic fans decided to be dickheads, and started taunting genshin impact. One of the most notable thing that happened, was someone drew an illustration of Lumine getting Beaten to hell, by Sonic, Kratos, and the other nominees, it wasn't a meme format, IT WAS A NEW ILLUSTRATION.
    this started to get attention on the chinese side of genshin, which they didn't even know there was an awards, so they started voting IN SPITE. at the end Genshin Won by a landslide, and to makes thing more humiliating there were vote botting, but turns out most of the bots was voting for Sonic, which all got removed by Geoff (genshin has some, but not as much as sonic bot votes)
    And then the slander came when they said, Hoyoverse bribed players with gems, but actually, Hoyoverse didn't promise anything and only gave some gems (800 lmao, some toxic genshin fans were mad at this) AFTER the awards has ended.

      Even funnier is that Genshin did the least amount of marketing for the award. Hoyo did not even bother to ask their players to vote in that specific award. A good majority of the players did not even know Genshin was nominated, let alone losing. Hopefully, that teaches sonic fans not to poke at communities much much much larger than them. Though I'm very skeptical that they learned anything.

      So im going to assume they will be introducing all of the other Honkai Gakuen / Impact counterparts first such as Seele, Bronya and recently Mei with Acheron. After that when the story is about to reach some sort of climax or a conflict about to start they will then introduce Kiana into HSR.
      The Kiana we get will either be a counterpart or Kiana from HI3rd (apparently Finality power allowed her to freely travel through the imaginary tree).

    I actually started play Mihoyo games back in 2013, I remember it being Honkai impact (gakuen) 2nd and I loved it (I was wondering why there wasn’t a 1st and was told it got exploited and ppl can get millions gems for free and that when mihoyo up’ed their security system) and by the time Honkai impact 3rd came out I downloaded it and it just blew my mind. The combat was just so much better than the other games I played before and I wasn’t able to find any other game that had that level of combat experience. It just felt real. I just loved how each character fight with different moves. And by the time I was still young and I didn’t even understand “grinding” or “farming” I just played the game casually on and off just for the combat. Until one day, I saw the beta for Genshin. That was the time I was obsessed with Breath of the wild and I was sooooo excited for a free version of Zelda (no offense). And before I know it, I became a day one Genshin player. It’s been wild to look back at how Mihoyo really just kept me around as a long term customer and how far they’ve gone from a company with only 3 ppl.
    The fact that the CN community were somehow more furious than the global was fuelled by other Chinese gaming company behind the scene (it was conspiracy theory but some of it was proven by evidence.) Although Breath of the wild was a awesome game, it did not have a huge player base in the CN community, well, before Genshin’s release announcement. Millions of them seemed to come out of nowhere right after Mihoyo’s announcement. To this date CN ppl are still very meticulous about mentioning to their friends that they play Genshin bc they are afraid they will be ostracized and called “weeb” because of the all the hatred that other gaming companies are spreading. My personal experience for almost 3 years ngl. There’s still a dedicated Tieba page (reddit equivalent) for ppl to find “evidence” that Genshin took inspiration from any other game and making a big fuss about it. (Yes inspiration not even “copying”).
    Also Genshin makes a lot of culturalized content, like Liyue, Liyue’s lantern rite, Yunjin’s performance etc., don’t get me wrong they are FANTASTIC and the global audience likes it, but imo hyv was under pressure to make those content to shut those toxic ppl up and prevent them from getting shutdown for “favouring Japanese culture”. It’s sad to see those awesome content can be a product of toxicity and hatred.

      They wanted to make money, to fund Honkai Impact 3rd and if i'm not mistaken was little after the Oddysey Open World. It was so hyped as it brought complete free move sets and had Devil May Cry vibes.
      Honkai Impact 3rd is slowly optimized to run smoothly with new battle suits on mobiles, but sadly you need moderately to new phone of the series.

      Translation of the Interview (starting at 00:25) QuoteWriter: This [Fallen Rosemary] and the Rita in the main story line are two completely different characters. Similar to what Yase Kasumi is to Yae Sakura, or Starlit Astrologos to Theresa Apocalypse. But in terms of concept, [Fallen Rosemary] is also somewhat different from the concept of Yase Kasumi and Starlit Astrologos. In the previous game version, at the end of Chapter 17 in the main story line, *our Archbishop Otto detected and observed other parallel worlds through The Imaginary Tree. Among one of which, is their next door neighbor, The continent of Teyvat's Stormterror Dragon [Dvalin].* While the other one, is actually our current newest character [Fallen Rosemary]. So speaking from a world setting perspective, compared to Yase Kasumi and Starlit Astrologos who are just characters that came out of World Bubbles, [Fallen Rosemary] is an existence of a higher degree compared to those two. In the past 1 year, through series stories such as the Honkai Kingdoms, as well as unit stories such as the Sanka Saga, we have in fact, finished the initial establishment of a fundamental concept - The Captain is able to command [Hyperion] and go on a journey within the Sea of Quantum. But as we all know, you will never be the only wanderer who is travailing on a journey. Thus, the appearance of characters such as [Fallen Rosemary], officially represents that our [Captain's Bizarre Adventure] now enters its next stage. End Quote (Stop at 1:25)»

      And this is not a presentation of the success of hoyoverse, this is a presentation of the Event in Hi3rd. Why would Da Wei even talk about other games at honkai's presentation, they have never talked about their other games at the presentations of their games.
      Or do you think that since genshin brought them success, they now have to talk about it every second in every place? CN Honkai fans will literally tear them alive if they do.

    The mainland China hate of Genshin was so fucking massive at the time.
    It got wrapped into the label of "Chinese Knockoff/ counterfeit/IP theft".
    It was so loud, that months later, I would be watching Accented Cinema's video "The most shameless Chinese knockoff" talking about some movies, and near the end of the vid, Genshin gets a dishonourable mention.
    On one hand, I get it, when your national stereotype is producing knockoffs, seeing what you perceive as a BOTW knockoff game being on one of the largest platforms in the world (Sony), I get the anger.
    The issue is that that perception is just incorrect, thus that anger becomes meaningless and cruel.

    • @itsarin2166
      @itsarin2166 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yeah GGZ was pretty much their blueprint for future games, especially the Honkai franchise. Many recurring characters in the future games after GGZ such as Kiana (obviously), Mei, Bronya, Seele, etc. Heck, they even reused GGZ character design in Genshin such as Raiden Ei(Mei) or Yae Miko(Yae Sakura).
      Though sadly some chars are still stuck on GGZ that I wish Mihoyo would bring back such as Houraiji Kyuusyou (Chuunibyou girl with pretty cool jacket / coat).

    ...to be honest, I totally forgot about the whole "2012 the mayan calendar is ending! the world is ending!" that happened back then. I do remember wondering why people were freaking out about it that much though ahah
    I remember trying out GGZ back in 2015 when I wasn't aware of Mihoyo (I didn't stick with it long though; came back to it later but couldn't catch up since I got back into it just a month before global server shutdown). Then when I started playing Honkai Impact 3rd in 2018, I thought "HUH these three characters (Kiana, Mei, Bronya) look familiar".
    Realized soon after that GGZ was also from Mihoyo when Honkai veterans were trying to explain the whole zombiegal kawaii/Houkai Gakuen/GGZ stuff to some of us newbies in the Honkai Impact 3rd reddit xD
    The reddit was also where I learned the mihoyo history so some of the stuff in this video I was like "oh hey, I remember reading about this"

  • @qopa6784

    I recall playing GGZ back when I was 13 or something and it was honestly one of the better games back at the time, and when hi3 came out, I played it for about 1-2 weeks and quit coz the beginning of the story didn't feel like an actual beginning, characters are also 100% at maxed friendship when we knew absolutely nothing about them. Although, the main reason why I quit hi3 back then was the grind with no quick lite system that we have today.
    Like, I did recall people downloaded hi3 like crazy back then but it also died extremely quicker than other gacha games I've played.

And back to like 2016 or 2017, my brother drag me into Honkai Impact 3rd and playing it on CN server using Bilibili account, at that time I didn't play HI3 continuosly like play for a year then stop for a year, and then the time when i start playing back HI3 is during the story of HOV got release. And I'm still quite enjoying HI3 by now even though its on CN server.

    i dropped a lot of Turn base games even Epic Seven and others in just a week of playing
    but somehow i play Star rail every day now (started before 1.1 patch)
    and already spend $100 and willing to spend another $100 for Fu Xuan lightcone
    (after getting I.Lunae guaranteed with only 20 pulls needed then i have enough Jades for Fuxuan 50/50 and even if i lose 50/50 still have enough for guaranteed but no more jades for her Lightcone)
    I WILL gIVE FU XUAN EVERYTHiNG SHE NEEDS
    Zenless Zone Zero 1st trailer already made me so interested on the game it made me feel i want these characters
    even Punishing Gray Raven, TOF and other anime waifu gatcha games i didn't feel anything after watching their game trailers and character trailers
    only games outside Hoyoverse is Girls Frontline 2 and Snow break that i got interested/i want to pull for the charcters
    Waiting for Girls Frontline 2 and currently playing Snow break since the release
    Hoyoverse is not a perfect company but they make games that i want so i'll probably play more games of Hoyoverse in the future
