It's good to see at least some people enjoying what this patch has to offer, I see some CC complaining that it is a filler patch but they forget that those patches are really useful and are a breather after the Archon quest heavy patches. I personnally am happy about it because, as someone who has a full time job, the end of year is always crazy and so I tend to not play as much (too tired) and so I get behind on a lot of quests, those patches help me to catch up with everything. Concerning this patch, I'm excited for the main event! As a lore enjoyer I can't wait to see what we will learn about Chiyo and Ei! I will not pull for Mizuki BUT I will probably pull for her weapon because... we all know what is the fate of standard characters weapon right... AND my biggest joy is of course the rerun of the man, the legend, our favourite warden WRIOTHESLEY!! (Josh saying that he is out of PRISON was quite funny xD oh the irony) FINALLY!!! I plan to C6 him on my main account (I was planning to do it over multiple reruns but well... we all see how it is xD ), I have him already C1R1, let's hope my wallet won't suffer too much. >.> I will also go for his weapon on my alt account and his C1 on my F2P (I'm garanted so i'm good) I'll also need some luck for that.
Here's a hot take for you, if people don't like the patch that's fine, if people do like the patch that's ok too, what's not okay is people hating on the fact that other don't like the patch.
I can't current patch is heavy, no new map only story quests and events, 5.4 is even worse because also no new map and no big story at least, I hope 5.5 will be packed it would be nice permanent domain creator
Honestly... nothing much... Mizuki is sadly a standard character so she got the Dehya treatement... so it's just better to get her with the next anniversary selector (if they keep their promise of including it each year) She is just worse Lan Yan.
As a lore-focused player, this patch brings so much joy. We barely know what happened to Chiyo, and there's a chance to see other historical chars too! Just thinking about seeing them makes me so excited already! The bathhouse is finally accessible! They are def doing the hyv thing showing another bath after Amphoreus'. No key for story quests is gonna be helpful for recordings, congrats! Mizuki is lovely, instant love design-wise! Very inclined to get her now, but I'm gonna wait for standard and/or losing 50/50 so I can use this patch to have an easier time saving for all the new chars. I can never see any patch as a filler. Like, I tried catching up during every 'dry patch' yet still swarmed with the events and quests everytime. There's always new pieces of lore! I still think they are putting almost too much content for a gacha game with very frequent updates. Unless Mizuki's quest is required for an event, I can finally actually catch up with other games as well 😂
Mizuki should have voice acting in her story quest because she is a newer character, also Mavuika has voice acting in hers so it would make sense for these future characters to have voice acting too
Afaik Mizuki's VA is from the new "Side Studio" that Genshin Impact has now signed a contract with. I could confirm this by knowing that her VA is the same as Yinlin from WuWa, who's VA services are also provided by Side Studio, so I'm pretty sure Mizuki will have her voice in her story quest!
Something someone suggested to me that makes a lot of sense regarding the material day locks is the consideration of co-op. Apparently, finding co-op partners on Sundays for material domains can be difficult. If they were to do away with the day locks completely, matchmaking might be negatively impacted. That might even be why the day locks exist in the first place.
they could change it so when you co-op a, for example, talent domain, all different materials available are put into one rewards pool and each player can choose which reward they want to get after completing the domain. This would fix this theoretical matchmaking problem by shifting the option to choose specific reward from the front (before you enter the domain, as it is now) to the back (when you're interacting with the tree you get a pop-up and you pick which materials you wanna get)
28:45 Yeah, I think they are planning to make it a permanent thing in the future. I always wish we see the playable characters in the open world just going about their everyday life. Thats gonna be a cool.
I guess after ZZZ's shower scene, HSR's bath, and Genshin having hot springs in Natlan, they had to give us the hot spring episode in Inazuma (Japan) one way or another! Cool to see Ayaka EN VA (Erica Mendez) back, because it shows improvement for the situation. Also, if you do the Lantern Rite event, a few older voices also return, namely: Eula, Chiori, and Cyno.
ayaka's va being "back" isn't a thing, her va was never affected by the strike because she also voices Katheryne and she was voiced in 5.1 (the first patch affected by the va strike, with ajaw, kinich and iansan being mute, kachina's va was recovering from an injury so she was mute for a different reason) that being said, i think the new studio they hired is gonna hire more british/european va's instead of american, as both lan yan's and mizuki's vas are british
All the English voices will be mute btw, in the current Lantern Rite event, the chars are muted in the English version. Just be warned, the English VAs are gonna be on strike till the end of Version 6.0 most likely....
Not likely till 6.0. Genshin Impact has signed a contract with a new Studio, and SAG-AFTRA has blacklisted Formosa, meaning all the VAs will now be moving to a different Studio, meaning the voices will be back way sooner hopefully!
well started the chinese lantern right event , forget it in english most characters , hu tao , ganyu , keqing , zhongli and others are not voiced , sadly as much I can understand VA , it's ruining all the fun of it , I do not want to read all those texts , that strike last way to long now ...
Since she doesn't work for the dubbing company currently causing va's to be on strike, odds are high for her to voiced just like most natlan characters, so you might be able to play her quest without having to switch to Japanese
@ It's not a singular dubbing company causing the strike, it's the entire SAG AFTRA union in the United States. Union projects that accept the interim terms can continue working, but HoYo's projects are non-union, thus the issue. Non-union VAs aren't required to strike but can still choose to.

We're finally headed back to Inazuma!!!
Let us know what your highlight from the stream was! 👀

I’m pretty sure they don’t care about a geo 5 star on standard because at the beginning of the game they hand you a Noelle.
no

Let's chill with raiden guys in bath
I want to chill in Raiden
Y’know… I am wondering if the game developers actually had a 48 hour game jam to make the minigames for the event xD
30:28 This event REALLY reminds me of a PC game with a similar premise that I played a LONG time ago!

More Ei cutscenes is always good to me! I miss her.

@@ironwoodkid9577 That is one way to solve it, yes, but that may not be trivial.

@@ironwoodkid9577 So Ayaka's VA was never union or something? Alright. But you're right, I forgot about that.
They've been teasing the bathhouses in inazuma since it first released tbf
@@ManiacalBlueberry Yeah, just never put us in there, haha.

There's nothing wrong a filler patch that allows people to catch up. I just hope we have all English voices back in 5.5.
Yumemizuki Mizuki ASMR ☺😳
well started the chinese lantern right event , forget it in english most characters , hu tao , ganyu , keqing , zhongli and others are not voiced , sadly as much I can understand VA , it's ruining all the fun of it , I do not want to read all those texts , that strike last way to long now ...
So when the dialogue is voiced you don't read the dialogue?
What about the super long world quests, you skip all the dialogue?
@@hikari9262 no but I think that's boring enough as it is , lantern rite till now I think only 2 or 3 main characters are voiced ....
Yumemizuki Mizuki's En Va Naomi McDonald is Yinlin in WutheringWave
That is AWESOME!
Since she doesn't work for the dubbing company currently causing va's to be on strike, odds are high for her to voiced just like most natlan characters, so you might be able to play her quest without having to switch to Japanese
