This shit still blows my mind. The game is so careful about not portraying romantic or sexual attraction between anyone that it borders on unnatural. I'm not convinced that anyone on Teyvat even *has* sex.
I have no idea how the fuck you play through the game without thinking it has romance or implied sex. One of the main parts of the fontaine archon quest is some dude that was melting random women to see if he could find a way to bring back his melted lover, and there's a bunch of optional sidequests and small world details like the preggo nun in mondstat or the couple praying by the fountain in fontaine for a strong healthy child covering both the romance and sex implication shit. These kinds of people care jack shit about the actual romance shit shown and just want to claim characters are gay and get assmad when people say otherwise.

Dvalin brings babies to people in a white sheet hanging from his mouth. My dad works at Mihoyo.
Even so it's still a shockingly unhorny game for freaks to apply these mental gymnastics to. Hopefully someday for the chinamen will execute total lesbian death and write in Yoimiya/Childe-esque heterosexual scenes for every character.

Transvestigation shit is another rabbit hole entirely.
The closest I've seen any of those women get to lesbianism is Yae writing yuri fanfiction with her self-insert.
As for the rest?
Jean: Close friends with Lisa.
Ningguang: Close friends with Beidou. Uses glaze lillies as ascension materials. Female assistants (yes that was actually used as proof of her lesbianism).
Nilou: This character is talking about theater 99% of the time. She mentions traveler giving her butterflies in her final ascension, but ascension lines aren't canon.
Furina: No indication of her sexuality whatsoever.
She was forced to LARP as an archon for 500 years and just got the chance to be a normal human, sexuality is the last thing on her mind.
You can say those straight pairings don't have a canon basis either, but their shippers tend to be more self-aware about that.

It also just occurred to me that Vasher in the melting women quest is probably the most in-your-face example of a character who's primary motivation is love...and he's also probably one of the most contemptable characters in the entire game.
And even so, that's got more to do with increasing her publishing house book sales than actual sexuality or lesbianism. The only ones that have any sort of romantic interactions are the NPCs.
The Act Man is retarded and his takes exist only to be disregarded. The dude held out hope for League of Soylent and Halo of all things when most of those games kept being terrible baby's first sci fi loredumps pretending to be games.
Watched the vid. Felt like your stereotypical use of clickbait and the game is mostly generic anime shit. But the only question is that does it actually get difficult?

The Act Man is a faggot and he probably didn't play the game any more than he had to in order to make that video. But the game itself isn't "difficult". It does get enemies with higher damage and health, but the basic combat is simple enough you can clear everything the game throws at you assuming you know how to play a video game to begin with.
There are difficulty spikes around some world-level increases. Like, mobs were easy, and suddenly they can kick your ass.I think it starts around world level 4, but it was a long time ago. Usually, it's because a new player haven't paid too much attention to artifacts. Can be sort of simulated by running into one of these overpowered npcs in Fontane with your friendship-leveling squad.
She's kind of a piece of shit but it's for comedic shit mainly, like the constant abuse and gaslighting of the soldier kid. if she wasn't a religious official who also ran a successful publishing company on the side she'd probably be in prison.

I never ascended my world level around the final bit due to not wanting to grind beyond 80 so on one hand it sucks I can't get my shit to max but on the other hand I don't want my shit to become a nightmare grind.
Speaking of Fontaine NPCs is Liam voiced by the guy that fucking voiced sonic the hedgehog? I can't find credits for the fucker but each time he kills one of your guys he goes "I'M TOO HOT TO HANDLE!!" in the most fucking gamecube/xbox era sonic ass voice imaginable.

You have much higher celling than mobs, don't forget. And 80 is still sufficient for the most normal dpses. Only characters who scale of HP, EM or Def really need to be upped to 90.
