Yes, though Astra’s wasn’t too bad. We still got a lot of lore and character moments from her other promos.
But YSG’s promos were a big reason why I personally didn’t pull for her. They contained literally nothing about her character, her time at Yunkui before the proxies came along, her relationship with her brother and how he handled his sister being chosen by the sword and his spiral into wanting to free her from it, or how white-haired YSG came into being. The crazy part is, we didn’t get much, if any, of that in the story either which further proved how much of a rushed and nothing character she fundamentally is.
I’m someone who wants to invest in a character who gets presented as if they have solid, grounded lore, not just cuz they simp for the MC. It makes them feel like an actual person worth caring for.
But that’s just my opinion. If people enjoy characters like that, they’re free to do whatever they want, but I personally won’t throw any of my money towards characters who get that treatment.
