- Genshin impact had tragic year during its run in Fontaine. As usual it did not escape any controversies. However this time the issues were much more noticeable as players were continuously more and more dissatisfied with the game. Lets see what exactly happened and what was the real reason behind those issues.

Let's not forget about absolute tragedy that is expansion of Northern Sumeru. I was excited to see more rainforest and what we've got? Nothing. They just lifted Paimon barrier from placeholders and didn't add anything in those empty areas. I will never forgive Hoyo for this unless they patch it up.
I fear they will do that in Fontaine as that tall mountain isn’t released yet
Oh, you mean the small port? Yeah, that was disappointing. I was hoping to enjoy more of Sumeru, I get it's Fontaine or whatever but they expanded Liyue under Inazuma version so it shouldn't be too crazy. Hell, I'm not even talking about chests, the whole area just feels so eerie, not even enemies and the port is so tiny lmao.
@@WackyChuTBF Fontaine sucks regardless.
@@fatuusdottore……?. Brainrot
Half of the Contrevorsies were dump as fuck and lots of people just choose to stay arrogant.
Poeple still conplain about not there being Qol, when in Fontaine we 90% of Qol we all wanted(no artifact loadouts was something a minority wanted). Literally its just a minority of players thinking its the majority.
You are right, fontaine brought a ton of improvements, but people complained anyway, as they usually do especially since the loud minority always makes sure they are heard, meanwhile majority just plays the game doesn't care. Its just how it is ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
The artifacts loadout was shit tho
@@DAVFEARON They weren't referring to the artifact loadouts in the game. They meant that actual artifact loadouts were not something most people cared about. And that was true because prior to imaginarium theatre, most players didn't need to switch characters that often. The main people who wanted artifact loadouts were theory crafters, guide makers and content creators
1:28 I like the prison arc. Yeah sometimes thing repeated a bit too much but it was ent insane. Overall the feeling of invertsagring and learning everything was actually so much fun and in the end it all made sense
Hoyo is "too big to fail". They aren't changing anything sadly. I hope I'm wrong though.
4.0 series wasn't that bad. All i know is before players complained...
wasn't that bad but could've been better if hyv listened to player's feedback more.
This is just straight up wrong, it's not a nerf, it's fixing an exploit. Players who rely on exploits by definition are called cheaters.
Uh, I really thought 3.X had more things in complains, a little surprising
Just curious, do you think the resin increase is 'fear of Wuthering Waves' or to 'incentivize playing ZZZ'. No wrong answers, just want to hear your opinion
I would say it is because of the fear of WuWa, because this is the first time Genshin has some competition and devs could feel afraid that majority of players could switch. Although the way they did it wasn't the best, just resin isn't enough. I believe that some of the endgame features that we have seen during Fontaine is connected to their fear of WuWa. We can also look into the past and we can see that until Fontaine we have seen little additions to endgame, so it wouldn't make sense to just say "Hoyoverse finally listened to us". When it comes to Genshin, Hoyoverse doesn't really listen to players so I doubt that could be the reason for these additions. Meanwhile new competition? thats something that speaks to devs, especially since it could mean money loss for them. I believe the fear of WuWa is making Hoyoverse do some subtle but meaningful changes and might in process make Genshin much better game than it is right now. This is especially significant for players of both games because now instead of having one bellow average game they can have 2 great games.
@@lorgorr Do you think ZZZ could have anything to do with it?
It could have something to do with it, but i wouldn't say it is the major reason why Genshin is suddenly pushing endgame more than before.
@@lorgorr its not "suddenly", tho, unless you one of the goobers who never cared about reading the interviews and taking quick little glances at the related leeks and combat events as a whole. the stuff for theater has been tested for years and was found by leakers as early as sumeru afaik, and all that data and the combat events we've had so far led to theater to be born. they most likely wanted to do something more about currency generation and where to put those useless freebies than anything else, and considering how "nicely" the combat modes work in hsr in that regard.... yeah.
also "fear of wuwa' boy oh boy, they didnt even know those goobers would launch the game so soon (to their own detriment), and so far its wuwa being scared of ALL hoyo games at this point, given how they had to release patch faster because of zzz, and still eat dirt with that..... frankly, hoyo cares more about keeping people in its ecosystem (which - lessening amount of time you need daily in genshin and increase slightly resin definitely helps with), than a wanna-be "competition" that isnt even competent enough to beat, no joke, TOF, which frankly was a more original game than wuwa.
@@SorarikoMotoneI fear your comment is way too biased to be given the time to be responded to.
240/60 < 200/40 study maths
Very hard year, man. Even though Fontaine was the peak of the story of the game so far, and also production and everything, after 4.3 was just lots of L because of players complaining every update. And now Natlan announces as well...
People complained, complain and will complain, thats just how it is. However now with new games rising into the scene we can now compare them or play multiple at ones, so that could be the reason people ate the shit in the past and now they are just fed up so they complain even more, to intensify devs to do better. Hell we all want one thing and thats just playing good games. Its shame how greatly Fontaine started and how it fell off, its truly a shame.
Sumeru > Fontaine.
Fontaine sucked so much aside from the AQ, yeah the fortress of meropede was ehhhh. Sumeru AQ is still the best, Fontaine is the best for Furina, Neuvillette, and Navia. Arlecchino should have died tbh, or they should have released her as they conceptualised her rather than creating a slop quest that completely invalidates lore from previous WQs and makes them feel completely inconsequential. (Gendou Ringo quest.)
I actually think their idea of Lyney et al escaping Arlecchino was a lot better than the schizo slop we got. Dismissing Scaramouche's lines as "rumours" when he distrusts Pulcinella (I could understand Dottore since they have beef and never got along, but Arlecchino?) and Childe misjusging someone (he is so friendly it is very OOC even accounting for his closeness with Pulcinella) is also insane.
I'm hoping Natlan will actually be fun. It seems very promising, at least. ❤ I hope we see Dottore in Natlan and he is playable soon. As far as Natlan, it is primarily inspired by Latin America, and it is white US people who are upset about it, not even LatAm (I am Mexican, not -American, but actually Mexican.) Pretty much no one in LatAm Genshin community has any issue with Natlan and we are very excited for it, same with Sumeru, the majority of complaints are from US natives or Europeans who have very stereotypical and even racist notions of what Latin America and the Middle East are. There are people who are light-skinned in Latin America, and in the Middle East/Persia/India. If gringos consumed content from our countries instead of their Hollyweirdised versions of our culture, they would realise that we also are diverse, and not everyone looks like what they believe us to look like. I have zero idea why they keep trying to inject black people into Natlan either, it has always been based on Aztec/Mayan cultures primarily, with some other stuff like Hawaiian/Maui culture added in, but I don't see anyone complaining that Natlan isn't just Hawaii. Even the artefact set we got in Fontaine about Natlan is very clearly NOT remotely African, that is the United States (let's be honest, this isn't a global issue, the majority of the global community also doesn't give a shxt, this is why their "boycotts" always fail, because it's an issue that only interests woke US people, the same kind who use the term "Latinx," and they just want drama, they don't want to listen -- if you try to explain it to them, they will just falsely assume and call you white [further showcasing their ignorance on LatAm, which is a melting pot of people from various backgrounds/cultures, including Middle Eastern, if anything, I would expect to see Sumeru influence in Natlan more than African, if we are going to base it on the real world, we have zero connection to black African culture, but we have a pretty strong connection to Arabic culture, and a lot of mixture with them, even one of Mexico's most famous billionaires is of ME descent, and my own heritage is partly Lebanese because there's a big ME community in Mexico. Black, on the other hand, not so much.... outside of places that border the West Indies and Brazil (due to Portuguese colonialism), you're not going to find black people, they are so rare that I thought as a child that they only lived in Africa until I moved to the US and obviously learned otherwise, but the point of that is to highlight how rare it is to see a black person in most of LatAM, particularly Mexico/Central America, which is where Natlan gets most of its influence from, so why should there be black people there? It is a silly expectation, and always was. Similarly, some person took some fandom fanart of the goddess Mavuika is based off [who is polynesian btw] and tried to claim SHE should be black, when the goddess is Polynesian and the people there are NOT blaack even remotely, they have the same skin tone as Mavuika does lmao. And yeah, Mavuika isn't white, that much is obvious when you compare her to Diluc or even Himeko from HSR/HI3, they DID make her darker and she looks brown, same with Xilonen (looks very Latina), and others. The only one I was shocked to learn was supposed to be Mexican is Chasca, to me she doesn't look Latina at all, but we don't know her story, could be a case like Thoma where she has mixed heritage, wouldn't shock me if she was mixed and somehow related to Rosaria lmao, considering they have similar hair colour. But Chasca aside, everyone else definitely looks the part to anyone who actually is or knows about LatAM, not just Hollywood films that depict derelict border towns where everyone's a narco and the hue is eternally set to a sickly yellow for some reason.
If the wokes wanted to complain about bad representation, they should complain about that insteaed, not a game that actually brings out the positive and cool sides of our countries/cultures and has amazing characters that everyone is hyped for. TBH, the Arlecchino story quest controversy would have been a better thing to cover than the Natlan nontroversy, since the bad decisions made re: her story completely ruined/otherwise compromised key parts of the lore and game (previous WQs, Dottore to some extent since it was literally NEVER mentioned even by Freminet that he had any involvement with the HoTH, and it was just quickly put in there as a lazy way to make Arlecchino look better at his expense, which I don't appreciate [though at least he can get out of it easily because it was pretty much certainly a Segment who worked with Crucabena, not Zandik or even Omega, and we know they have distinct personalities, so whatever Segment it was, he is already dead, even if Arlecchino wishes to hold Zandik responsible for what his Segments do, it would be ridiculous IMO, since they are independent individuals, even if they function under a hive mind in terms of moniker, that would be like holding Arlecchino responsible for what Crucabena did because she was also called Arlecchino once. A preposterous premise.] But most of all, it tarnishes the Tsaritsa, as we don't even know Crucabena's motivations for becoming a Harbinger, or why she was given the task of raising orphans when she was actually just making her fight for her own amusement. She was literally just villainous for the sake of being villainous, and there isn't enough about her otherwise to make her anything but a scapegoat where all the past negative lore about Arlecchino could be mounted on and sacrificed, I think that's pretty bad writing. Likewise with Clervie, just one-dimensional, cheap emotional manipulation, to say nothing of the fact they even introduce Arlecchino in the Fontaine AQ livestream as "the Harbinger FROM Fontaine." And given we didn't have Perinheri drop until the patch preceding 4.6, it's obvious this was not because it's a huge lore bomb [it really isn't, and we've had insane lore drops from places like Delphi which are relevant to date, Signora's story since the beginning, possibly Capitano's as well, some of Dottore's backstory though a lot of his story is also under wraps rn, at least we have SOMETHING, though, and there are a bunch of books we've had since day 1 that are extremely relevant to the plot, so there is no reason to hold back Perinheri], but because they didn't know what direction to take Arlecchino in until then.
Her lack of involvement/relevance in the Fontaine AQ also speaks volumes, and her SQ just made things so much worse. Pretty much the only reason anyone would defend that utter mess is because she has an anti-waifu design that basically is DEI Signora, or they're just immense simps who will overlook even the worst writing for the sake of their waifu [which is at least more understandable.] It is funny to me that she was very quickly forgotten despite how much Hoyo tried to market her and push her on us though, lmao, and they learned from the failures of Fontaine's designs that people want sexy characters. (Natlan cast is looking very beautiful, unlike most of Fontaine's women, the men in Fontaine didn't suffer as much, though appealing to the femcel demographic did NOT pay off for them, considering this has been the most controversial region in all of Genshin's history, and that's taking Inazuma's AQ issues and the censorship there into account, at least Inazuma itself was fun, Ei was well-written in the end [BOTH of her SQs saved her, though, if it had been just her AQ I could understand the criticism she gets, but the same people who think they can say Ei is badly written praise Arlecchino, who actually IS badly written, to such a degree she brings down other major characters with her story as discussed and needed two characters to exist solely for the purpose of making her look good, so something tells me it's not about the writing with them...]
Like I said, the biggest problem with Arlecchino's SQ and character is tarnishing the Tsaritsa, because she clearly had to know about Crucabena and we are even given hints that she knew about her. Sure, she pardoned Arlecchino for offing her, but she still allowed that to happen in the first place, so that's far from being merciful when she had the power to simply stop Crucabena all along, lol. Ditto with Arlecchino accepting to become a Harbinger, shouldn't she hate the Fatui for Crucabena alone? And how could she even call the Tsaritsa merciful when everything she whinges about happened under her name/orders? She places more responsibility on Dottore, who had basically no say in what Crucabena did or not, than on her actual boss, but for us as the players, the Tsaritsa's role cannot be ignored if we are to condemn the former HOTH director, since the Tsaritsa clearly has power and it isn't a situation like with Nahida where they just put her away lmao. She is the one who calls the shots and every Harbinger has made this clear, from Dottore to Arlecchino herself, and even Pierro answers to her, so what gives? She doesn't have segments and she is the only Tsaritsa to run the Fatui, so its not like they can say it's the previous Cryo archon or something (which wouldn't make sense either, since her entire gripe is about Khaenriah.) They should have followed their original direction with Arlecchino and left other characters alone, it is not their responsibility to absolve her, and it created a LOT of problems especially for people who actually care about the lore. Hell, it's so bad that the SQ alone made me take the story less seriously as a whole, since they're just going to change something out of the blue or blame some other character every time they want to market some glubshitto, like they also did with Scaramouche (though at least that had more sense, since Dottore and him never got along, there were obvious signs of that since the beginning, the only gripe I have is scapegoating Dottore for things Scaramouche is responsible for doing, and the fact he doesn't really earn a redemption at all, he's just everyone's victim from Ei to Dottore to the Fatui, etc. despite being at least 400 years old, lol. Childish, terrible, petulant character that IMO didn't deserve to be playable, but that's just personal opinion, my point is at least there were some foundations to his backstory, even in artefacts we had prior to it, so it's not as egregious as Arlecchino's case. Also, we knew about Niwa and all that for a long time, due to Kazuha's story, it isn't like characters were made JUST for Scaramouche to be sympathetic [he isn't anyway], so objectively it is MUCH better writing, regardless of how I feel about him personally, it's just his redemption itself that needs work, if we're going off just tragic backstories, pretty much every Harbinger except Crucabena has one, so it's hardly unique. And yes, I expect Zandik to earn his redemption as well, as much injustice as he's been through in-game and outside of it, I would hope that he would earn his own redemption too, and not just be an eternal victim like these losers, though I'm pretty sure that's what's going to happen, he is far too capable and already quite complex, I cannot see him relying only on his backstory like the others, he will do great things as we've seen already in Sumeru's AQ, where, despite being more than capable of beating Nahida and forcefully taking the Gnosis, he is the ONLY Harbinger to never attempt to take a Gnosis by force (whether directly, like Signora -Venti, Childe - Zhongli [exuvia], Arlecchino - Furina, or through coercion, like Scaramouche holding us hostage in the Delusion Factory until Yae gives him the Electro Gnosis.) Dottore could have done the same, or Hell, held US hostage since he did put us to sleep, and threatened Nahida that way, but he isn't a thug who does things just for the sake of doing them and, despite what he is called to do for the Fatui, he isn't someone who likes to needlessly cause harm [the keyword being needlessly -- he tries to mitigate harm where possible, but he will put efficiency above tact for certain, however, he isn't Crucabena who simply likes to see people suffer nor is he Enjou who has no sense of loyalty and just does as he pleases, that concept was more manhua Dottore, who has obviously been retconned completely and could even be said to perhaps be a prototypical Segment, given his appearance and personality wildly differs from Zandik's.] Even considering his grudge against Sumeru and the Akademiya, at the ened of the day what he wanted and still wants is acceptance from them, he even says he chose not to end the traveller because Nahida "would never forgive him" if he did so. Why would he care what she would or wouldn't forgive if he had no emotional investment in Sumeru? Or even return to the Akademiya and prove himself there, to say nothing of signing his letters as 'the outcast,' and not The Doctor, meaning everything that happened to him in Sumeru is still fresh in his mind. Yet, despite that, he did not put anyone in Sumeru at risk, unlike Childe with Liyue Harbor and Scaramouche with Watatsumi Island [that, for some reason, gets blamed on Signora only, when it was both of them who cooperated in distributing the Delusions that would ultimately kill Teppei, not just her.]
Long story short, Hoyo seems to not really know what they're doing with their writing for Fatui Harbingers, which is worrisome. If Arlecchino were someone of less importance than a Harbinger, like a Chiori, I could excuse the messy SQ, but she is kind of part of one of the most important factions in GI. It's inexcusable to have her SQ be completely sloppy, though the fact it was completely spoiled in a 7 minute animation is pretty comical, I won't lie. I get they want to show off animations now [and also, like I said, they had zero idea what to do with her and were trying to convince players into pulling her just in case they didn't play the SQ, if I'd to guess], though also the fight between Arlecchino and Crucabena may have been too graphic for in-game, certainly Clervie's death, so I can sort of understand the animation from that perspective, even if the story is utter slop that insults players' intelligence and tries to cheaply emotionally manipulate to such an audacious extent it'd make Scaramouche blush.
I think THAT is a bigger issue than the Natlan nontroversy, personally, considering it actually compromises if not outright ruins a lot of the game's content/lore/drags important characters through the mud needlesssly just to market one forgettable unit who has played no relevant role whatsoever up till this point when she should shine by her own merit, US leftist political beliefs on the other hand have NOTHING to do with Genshin as a story, as it is a work of fiction, and the "boycott" drama has only allowed Beckies to be racist to Latinos who tell them they don't know what they're talking about and by their own political philosophies should be listening to our voices, lol. But they want blood and drama, it's the same thing as the Eula drama, the Hilichurl drama, the Sumeru drama, etc. Just noise and misconceptions, if not entirely malicious interpretations like Eula very clearly rejects her Lawrence heritage, yet they ignore that and call her awful things, learning literally nothing from the story itself.
I mean, it's your video so you can choose to cover whatever you please, but don't act like it's Latinos who are behind this nonsense "boycott," or even "the global community." Be honest about it and say who it really is -- teenage beckies on Twitter and their woke ilk. There's a reason it's been such a failure, even by Genshin boycott standards, and that's because the people they're claiming to speak on behalf of don't agree with their fundamental premise, nor their strange idea that a region that represents Latin America with a strong emphasis on Mexico/Central America should have black culture, when we could not be less related, and is in fact an insult to the legacy of slavery that WE suffered (we don't have black people in most of LatAm because the native population were used as slaves, thus, there was no need to import them, unlike the US where the native Americans could not withstand such conditions and also succumbed to diseases brought by the British colonists, thus necessitating both the import of African slaves and European indentured servants, which is why the US has very unique demographics compared to the rest of the Americas, LatAm needed neither African slaves nor European indentured servants [they came from places like Ireland a lot of the time], so it is disrespectful to our own histories to say that a foreign culture should represent us in any way.
I do hope that African culture has somewhere to be in Teyvat, perhaps in an area like Delphi/Enkanomiya (Greek), Dragonspine (Scandinavia), or Remuria (ancient Rome), so it can have its own dedicated space, perhaps bordering some areas of Natlan or underneath it to acknowledge the overlap between places like Puerto Rico and Cuba with West Africa, because their culture is very different from continental LatAm, especially Mexico/Central America, where Natlan is primarily based. Though I would add Genshin is absolutely under zero obligation to include that, I am just saying it'd be cool if they did. It IS a work of fiction and it is THEIR work, in the end. Unless it's a decision that negatively impacts the quality of the story (i.e. Inazuma AQ censorship and Signora dying without a proper resolution, Arlecchino slop quest ruining other characters and previous lore), it is their creative liberty to do as they see fit.
Dottore better be playable soon though. ❤
It is unfortunate what they did with Arlecchino, I personally was quite hyped for her. But the SQ was large letdown. I expected more, a lot of people did. Cannot say much to Dottore or Scara as I don't really research these characters so I would presume you know much more about that seeing as you wrote such a long essay about them.
About Natlan, I wanted to sound as neutral as possible, but I gotta agree with you. Majority of people who complained about it are ill twitter folks with nothing to do as they usually are poking their fingers into stuff they don't have any connection to. If I were to add some fuel to the fire for people are trying to have dark skinned characters, then I would say, that actually it was long before said that Teyvat has fake sky, thus dark color for the characters could contradict with what was established.
Cannot say much else on that matter, as I lack severe knowledge in regards to history of latin america. But ngl i gotta say hats off for writing this long ass comment as it probably took you long time. I respect that!
The amount needed vs the amount you earn is crazy, i don😢have that kind of time. Been playing for few months and all that time ive earned 2 characters that wasn’t earned through story
That's a 'you' problem. The primogems are there, especially if you haven't played most of the game. Maybe this game just isn't for you. Also, if you "don't have that kind of time," what would even be the purpose of obtaining and building characters? For a game you don't even play? Please make it make sense.
@@fatuusdottore why are you so butt hurt? All i said is i don’t have the time to put in as is needed, that’s obviously a me problem lol
