I really hope they put in a "skip to new area with story" button cause there is no way in hell I'm playing all the way through 3.0 to get to Fontaine.

Can't find the original leak, but there will be a shortcut waypoint to Fontaine.

So you'll at least be able to visit/explore the area to get materials for new characters, though I suspect you'll be locked out of the archon quests until you complete the prior chapters.

Yeah, that is what I'm worried about. There is not way I'm finishing the 3.0 Archon quest cause I hate that area.

you'll probably need them for the 4.0 story. just put them on and do something on the side like lifting.

beside inazuma you can also walk everywhere (not sure if you can take the waverider to inazuma), just takes a bit of time.

No, I don't think any of the wave rider spawns can reach open ocean. But you can ice bridge if you have enough cryo characters to build it fast enough to dodge the lightning 2/3 of the way there.
 
Game preload size and free space requirement for installation.

Edit:
4.0 banner first phase 4* are: Lynette, Bennett and Barbara.

I swear my mobile will come to life just to either kill itself or kill me with each passing update. Quest data removal can only help for 2-3GBs, not 10GBs, specially in a already 30GB game.

Trust me, the amount of storage this bastard game takes up on my PS5 is killing me, if Fontaine doesn't push this game over 200GB here I'll be amazed. The fact there's still cope about the Switch port existing baffles me - unless it's literally just the Mobile version and they stream the game, there's no way that ones happening on storage space alone...

It's a good thing most video games are shit nowadays, so the storage space isn't as big of an issue as it would've been even last gen...

I'm still surprised mihoyo doesn't give people the option to simply use the mobile version with the reduced assets (which I assume it is and not just more streaming, especially with lots of countries still having mobile datacaps).

a while back I was still wondering why enkanomiya was still available, it would be one of those things you can have installed but opt-out if you don't need to go in there (anymore). when it came out I assumed that was how mihoyo was trying to curb the bloating file size, be then sumeru is one big area...

don't forget free bennett too. I mean it's nice they give people one of the best units in the game still, but man that's some underwhelming banner (and lynette is free too, even less reason to roll). lyney will stay limited too and not go the tighnari/dehya route, so inevitably come back.

makes me wonder what they gonna put in phase 2 or 4.1 to make people blow their saved primos before the archon hits...

That feels kinda hyperbol, if anything I expect game file size actually increases by 10-30GB with Fontaine, depends on their patching optimization. Then maybe few more (4-5GB at most) til Natlan.

The banner overall is pretty meh for long time players, but it's good for new players imo. Decent - good supports at the start, free Bennett event at least guaranteeing for his C1.
Barbara is a decent choice for healing and on field - driver for bloom. Considering Kokomi banner ends "right about now".
Lynette is good for sprinting without stamina consumption (early days with crappy stamina), can be stacked if having/winning Yelan banner. If anything rolling on Yelan banner is lot more value than Lyney for new players too.

At least MHY announce new character one patch before their actual release, so Neuvillette and Wriothesley will be next. And I'm just assuming another archon (Venti) rerun in second phase like Zhongli is in 4.0 now. Like Archon rerun continuously on x.0 to x. something.

Considering 5* female usually has more pulling power than male, both Neu & Wrio are on field catalyst dps before Furina patch. 4.1 patch may not be that high in pulling. Since these two are new 5* in one patch, it's one of them (Wrio) being speculated to be in standard not Lyney.

Wrio kit, normal attack style. People are now can role playing as cryo Jojo. Daisuke Ono.

I'll admit I'm being hyperbolic, but not as much as you might think I am - this game has had some weird jumps in file size, though I can probably blame most of the ones in the last year as the maps becoming stupidly vertical (sidenote - Fuck Caves after Sumeru). With Diving now joining the list of Regional Gimmicks, I'm not going to hold my breath too much on the great Storage Issue.

That's exactly what happened to someone else last night who wanted to pull in my world for some reason and I got to watch their disappointment in real time.
 
Welp, I have a hat to eat - 4.0 actually managed to decrease the file size on console. I'm not sure if that was cleaning up files, or if Klees Summer Dreamland was just a completely unoptimized mess, bu I'm not questioning shit if it brings the game back below 100GB again.

As someone who's Triple Crowned my Dehya - I get it. Is she a good character, honestly no her kit is mid at absolute best, but I just built her to be a Physical crit machine that occasionally applies Pyro. Old School Unga Bunga still works.

Don't get me wrong, I love everything about her design and story. Was just the joy of seeing a 5* on a new banner for a character that I had no intention of building ever.

shouldn't surprise anyone that the game that simply makes characters disappear when you get too close while climbing and gliding won't let you oogle them while swimming...

unless it's a constellation given the abysmal chance to get a standard character I'd still call that a win. still regret not grabbing tighnari when it was "easy" (especially since I still don't have a proper dendro carry...)

my personal issue with bennett (and barb) is that they're both in paimon's bargains, so anyone who really wants him just has to wait till november - and new players won't really be able to utilize him properly or even want to, I doubt they gonna sweat abyss on lvl30 like people did way back in 1.0, and the rest of the game is easy enough already.
I mean it makes sense they show up on a banner again at some point, what mihoyo really should do is update the fucking store, maybe even put one of the old 5* in it for a good measure.

yeah, looked it up because I'm pondering to grab lyney since I'm like 5 pulls before guaranteed pity (which means I can't even do 10-20 rolls to maybe grab another 5* early or maybe a new 4*), and by 4.2 I hopefully should have enough primos again to get the brat archon. also reminded me I already read complaints about the several fujo banners in a row, suddenly it made sense.

if mihoyo really puts wrio on standard I probably have to grab him, luckily got all the standard 5* already so missing one (again) irks the collector in me, even when I rather safe for waifus. otoh they kinda spoiled navia and clorinde by giving them a DEF greatsword and EM sword respectively, if that isn't a missdirect or just a silly placeholder till the official weapons are released, I'd assume they gonna put female itto/5* noelle or kek 2.0/fontaine sara in the standard to double down on the waifu FOMO.

it also took me 2 days to figure out hydro mc and lynette can do the arkhe stuff to weaken mobs and interact with puzzle stuff, I already knew how and when they do it, but I was still grabbing the random nearby orbs which you only need if you don't have or don't want to use those 2 or lyney. can't even imagine how unclear that's gonna be for new players...
you can pretty much ignore it for now and just burst most stuff down, but I can see mihoyo get real nasty with it later (luckily I already don't care about abyss).

The butts censorship is when MHY getting so big that even CCP has do another checking again about keeping up with their social value.
Recent visit from Shanghai mayor, before this whole Fontaine release.


It's done in a most whatever way. Beside certain camera angle not censoring, if you focus aiming/charge up attack, bubbles are gone.

Sadly, Beidou passive less stamina cost for swimming does not apply for this underwater. Powercreep by Neuvillette and Freminet in this case.

While HSR hasn't got that much attention to get censorship yet.

I appreciate that MHY allows other mechanic to let you complete these puzzles instead of relying on specific character.
Even Nilou's water aura can do water crystals thing, depending on having her C1 or not (full duration). Although in some cases, her water aura seems to be a bit tinier than stacking 3 small water droplets.

Also, especially no locking puzzle mechanic behind world quest like Arana is good.
Major world quests (oceanid Ann and melusine Mamere - Seymour) this patch are good and intriguing enough to see them intertwine to each other and not dragging too long like Arana. Few way too long dialogues still happen.
