This already seems better than the Lantern festival if theres enough variants of those minigames. The tower defense was neat but not enough to carry the event.

Oooh, I'm happy we're actually going back to Mondstadt. Feels like most stuff has been just in Liyue since it came out and Mondstadt has been neglected.

It also made close to 900M in revenue so far, not including PC, PS4 and various Android stores from China.

Mihoyo rolling in the cash.

Love how they show you can also date the male characters, but in the tweets they literally cut out the 2 male characters and just show both women.

The dating shit will have branching path and different endings. I can’t find a screenshot because I’m lazy.

Is this supposed to be limited time? I keep meaning to try out the game more but I am only level 10.

Yep, they did butcher "Windblume"... Why do they put so much German in this game when they don't even try to pronounce it correctly? XD
Nice trailer though, as always. I also dig the music, as always. I hope they'll sometime release all trailer music in an album too.

At this point I would imagine they're gonna wait for Switch Pro.

In the trailer sneak peek we also see Diluc in his KFC digs, we'll probably gonna get some in game collaboration event.
Seems like they removed all traces of kfc logo from English trailers. So it will most likely be a random ass cooking event in game.

I wish we will get kfc collab worldwide.

There certainly seem to be movements in China on this:



It's also called Outland Gastronomy, so I wouldn't rule it out completely just yet. But I also wouldn't be surprised if it's something totally random with vague hints.

Do I look up the info now, or should I wait an extra 2 hours and watch the English livestream, hmmm.

My tinfoil hat says it’ll be a Switch Pro “launch” title. The game runs like poop on PS4/PS4 Pro, so a base Switch might not be enough for the game.
It's fine on mobile so theres no reason that the Switch would struggle. Just needs better optimization than what's there on the PS4.

I missed ganyu, and ziao, and the lantern festival. Hope I dont miss Rosaria and this festival too. Looks fun.

So Rosaria on the Childe banner huh. I guess my multi-constellation Rosaria is going to have to tag along Childe.

The male character designs in this game are so disappointing. Not a beefcake to be seen, barring some very minor NPCs I imagine.

With Rosaria on the Childe banner, I can skip 2 for the price of 1. Awesome!

We just had a festival, so I'm not super stoked about that. But this does look a lot better than the Lantern Rite. I mean, events with the people in your party and not just NPCs is a HUGE improvement.

The game only has two base "skeletons" for male playable characters; adding actual beefy dudes would require a third base to be made so I wouldn't be expecting that any time soon.

Anyway, this event at least looks like it contains stuff to interest me more than the Lantern Rite did. Genshin's controls and physics don't exactly lend it well to precise movement and platforming but I'll definitely take that as repeatable content over slow-ass crap-ass tower defense.

I wouldn't take the trailer being representative of what we're actually getting. Lantern rite trailer showed a bunch of the main liyue characters hanging out too.

Looks pretty good, the new boss looks cool, the arena event sounds like a fun opportunity to flex, the minigames look half decent, I love the idea of the character hangout events

They could if they wanted to, they’re choosing not to. Makes this game easier to ignore, so I’m not pressed. It’s just a missed opportunity for them to expand the game’s aesthetic and userbase.
