Why is Mihoyo So Opposed To Character Relationships?

- Genshin being a gacha game has a lot of characters, we currently have about 86 characters at the moment and that number is only going to increase in the coming years. You´d think with almost 90 characters, it would be relatively easy to have character multiple interact with each other pretty regularly and explore more than just one dynamic with them, right? Wrong
In this video, I will be discussing what are the issues that I have with the current state of interactions in genshin and how they could potentially deal with it.

You know an established relationship that I actually want to SEE on screen?!
Chongyun and Shenhe.
Seriously, the only interaction I've seen between the two was Shenhe's character demo (and I think one of Shenhe's birthday artwork). It's been 2+ years and I still haven't seen on-screen time for Chongyun with aunt Shenhe. Like imagine Shenhe training with Chongyun and the latter being the bridge to connect Shenhe with her remaining family.
Also, I kinda wanna see a friendship between Wanderer and Collei. Collei telling him about her past with Dottore and how Wanderer would respond and even relate.
Omg yes, there are so many character dynamics that they already have established but refuse to go into for some reason. Shenhe doesn't have a dedicated character story yet, I don´t think, so they can definitely go into her relationship with Chongyun and his family during that.
@@asabiexplains I kinda always assumed the first Interlude Quest was Shenhe's story, since that particular act went into great detail about Shenhe's past and the lack of actual Character story quest for her. Xinqiu in that quest even commented on how similar Shenhe and Chongyun are (which admittedly, also got me kinda salty how Chongyun didn't make an appearence there). But if Shenhe does get her own CQ like the other 5 stars, I'm praying it happens and we actaully get to see some familial bonding with the Exorcist Family! 🙏🏻
It's likely had to do with the cn community from what I know.
maybe but the interactions don´t even have to be romantic or even possibly seen as romantic, I just want to see them talk to each other more
@@asabiexplains The Wanderer put the Traveler into the lap of Nilhou and the CN fans went apeshit, it wasn't even romantic or anything.
These fans genuinely believe that they are in actual relationships with these characters and cannot distinguish reality, and because of that, they will be mad at even platonic interactions between their obsession and other characters regardless of the nature of it.
@@asabiexplainsnot long ago, entire cn community blew up because one female character had a small thingy on her model related to a male a character. The game, i think GFL2 but maybe wrong, got boycotted and devs had to apologise and remove it from the model. CN community sees any interaction between characters as “NTR”
@@bigbumer5719what character was that?
@@asabiexplains Like others have explained, it is definitely due to the CN community. Someone already brought up the Wanderer controversy from the recent summer event, but he had an even bigger one before that.
When Wanderer agreed to work with Nahida and became a character closely tied to her (and who have since had a more mother/son type of dynamic), the two have had many completely platonic interactions. Despite this, many people in the CN community were outraged claiming Wanderer was stealing their waifu from them (which is a whole other issue in itself 🤢), going as far as to doxing Hoyo employees and posting pictures of them killing stray cats because they thought it looked like the Scaramouche cat from Nahida's fairytale reading.
Asian players... That's their problem 😂
Being an asian myself, i know how obsessive people can get when it comes to fictional characters and even real life people...
Very similar to Japan with their idol industry.
I'd love to someday see Neuvillette pull up on Zhongli, and we get a Jojo moment. 😅
For obvious reasons. Leaving it up to player's imaginations. I mean why do you think Adolf Hitler never got married right up until he decided to commit self deletion. For the "Cult of Personality" he wanted publicly to be looked upon as available to the women of the country. Imagine that concept applied to a video game, even though they're fake characters, but now it's imagine your own couples/relationships? You decide the coups in your own fantasy mind of the world.
we have some character development in the friendship with navia and clorinde ( at least we didn't met them at the end of their friendship journey )
It's to leave the relationship open ended to the player's imagination. Like Kaveh and Alhaitham. The game never specifically said their relationship wasn't more but I like to think that it is
I was thinking about this the other day. I think they are getting better at it, Cyno's story quest for example. But they still have a long away to go, even more with the old characters
It doesn't matter. Nothing is canon aside from the archon quests according to hoyo. So say they put an event for two characters in the lore it didn't happen. Nothing optional. that includes world quest and character stories. Events ect. A majority of the genshin cast don't even know each other.
unrelated but fellow aether user :D
Its because of the community in general no need to explain anything
