Finally got around to testing Varesa. Why the fuck is this the first Natlan character I've played that feels good to play, and fits the vibe of the nation? I'm still not going to pull for her because I didn't like her that much, but jesus christ the characters this version have been miserable.
 
I don't even play with the eng dub, but I like how Ororon vs is as chill, as his character.

A VA named Adin Rudd was also tweeting on bluesky that "Back then people would get lynched for going against unions but nowadays they get away like this?" and the reddit thread was deleted before i could copy.

Cause everyone having a vehicles made them janky as fuck to transition or fight with.

-Mualani has to keep auto-running and wants you to stay inside the enemy until you get 3 stacks.
-Kachina is slow, weak and explores worse than the geo dino.
-Kinich has to pray the hook goes where you want and then you auto spin like an autist mashing M1+E.
-Xilonen is okay runner/climber but all she does is kick twice and NEEDS to kick which can be annoying.
-ororon and citlali simply do E+Q and leave and their power is a spring jump into glide (lame).
-Chasca basically does skill and holds hold M1 to shoot the gun, her flying is fine but flying is boring.
-Mavuika basically does burst and holds M1 to spin the bike, and the bike is j a n k (especially climbing).

Varesa has no bullshit, she has faster sprint speed than default, her sonic run is the fastest mobility in the game, jumping doesn't completely ruins your momentum (no fall damage btw) and her combat is unique since she has a "real combo" that is fun to do and look at. Doesn't become useless without energy either like other plungers.

Skill - quick charge - plunge - skill - quick charge - plunge BURST RESET - do it again - can you burst during burst? - ONE MORE!

A Natlan unit with high energy? Playing xiao after her sounds depressing.

Someone please remind these retards that the guy they're calling a scab is & has never been part of their cabal of screeching faggots they call a "union".

These strike really should result in worse than the last Vidya VA strike, just to put these high-horse niggers in order.
 
Started the WuWa main quest. Ciaccona gives Pheeb some real competition for cutest character in Rinacita(so far). I also do not regret going all in on Cantarella
Things that happen offscreen from Canta. She'll give another proper explanation at the end of her story quest. Her story quest is up there with Encore with writing and even better gameplay narrative experience.
This patch is Knife-ears propaganda. Tell me how do you feel about Cartethyia after finishing main quest.

If Kurogames doesn't do continuous story patches all the way like old Mihoyo, but in turns for a high quality story experience. I think it's a good exchange. Less blabbering, less meandering around - feeling of dragging on, more cinematic to convey key moments and good "hype" moment built with gameplay. Never thought that little simple thing, being able to play all three elements from Rover was so cool in context.
Although, I'm not sure how they would improving on "resolving problems" explanation at final part of the quest and handwaving "Abby is fixed". There are few important technical terminologies not quite emphasized enough, it's easy forget what they are in "executing the plan". Few things happen offscreen and get a short explanation, these give "did I miss something" feeling kind.

Rinascita so far actually shares some elements similar to Genshin's Sumeru but they are being executed in a different way. With that to embraces a different end/resolve and narrative. Rina hasn't done yet with other plots, more to be seen.
Cantarella, she's more akin to Arlecchino. Unfortunately, it's WuWa turn to committing domestic violence.
 
their power is a spring jump into glide (lame).
it's simple but very helpful, way back everyone was soyfacing about venti being able to fly half as much, and you can't always drop down a john lee pillar to climp properly (or geo mc rock).

as for the general gameplay natlan might be more mobile-oriented. I don't play on phones, so no idea, just a guess.

This patch is Knife-ears propaganda.

I hope they give her a better outfit. If I'm to be conditioned into liking the lady, I want a druid bard or Robin Hood with tits.

Anyway finished Brants companion quest finally and didn't blaze through it like I did Flower Power Cunt. Brant continues to be the cutest.

I do wish there was more depth to his backstory like with Carlotta or Changli or Yinlin or even Zhezhi. I also miss some nice key art like too but it was overall very light hearted, fun and good if not stupidly short.

A cynical part of me wants to think they didn't put as much effort into it as the others but regardless I'm happy I pulled for Brant. He's a treasure. The cutest treasure.
 
It's weird, because the 4* that got added with Varesa is similar to that, but feels fucking awful to play. Are these characters being play tested properly?

Probably the same reason kachina sucks, 4*s don't get to have nice things. Iansan already a good 4* kit so they likely didn't want her to be god tier exploration too. Kachina is free too so she's clearly designed to be copium. Ororon only got away with it cause the big jump is too simple to fuck up.


This shit is still going on multiple days after the drama, with some nobodies npc and non genshin vas jumping too. One funny thing that happened is that the people who bashed the new Kinich VA are getting death threats and he's is apologizing to them on twitter, and then people attack him MORE.

He literally doesn't owe you anything asshole.

The Genshin SAG VAs are getting shafted and their plan to be taken seriously is acting like unhinged lunatics? If they all get replaced the resulting meltdown will be glorious.

"even if we completely win the strike we have proven to be such toxic assholes only a complete retard would hire us" is a mindset to behold.

also I wish hoyo would stop with the automatic quests, for now I just want to run into the area to collect shit, not do the story. which interestingly isn't voiced in japanese either for some reason, while being somewhat important for natlan and your dino-buddy.

Kachina is free too so she's clearly designed to be copium.
like some of the other 4* I assume it's mostly a free introduction to the new nation's mechanics (like pneuma in fontaine etc.) and to be able to do the environment puzzles with, but then hoyo seems to scared of backlash and still makes them just as easy if not easier with every character.

Reminder that LittleKuriboh is an unemployed loser who couldn't cut it as a professional voice actor and isn't even in the union. He's also married to an FTM.
