@ivybonbons This reminds me of when I was so excited for chenyu vale release only to get disappointed. Wasted opportunity to expand his and changshengs story
@narukaminahri Calling people psychotic for wanting a dynamic to be fleshed out is exactly why genshintwt can't hold a discussion for more than 2 tweets without it devolving into whatever this
I don't like how they handled dottore and columbina's relationship. They introduced this entire sibling bond practically out of nowhere just to use it as another bullet point on the list of reasons dottore is terrible again
Idc about storytelling anymore but Hoyo's prioritization for easy marketability struck me most when they decided to drop a dynamic with huge potential like this and didn't elaborate on it just to show that they actually CAN put effort in exploring relationships 3 updates later
@Dante56E Only on genshintwt where you can't share an opinion without some illiterate fuck crawling out of nowhere. Eat the slop up like a good boy bro nobody's stopping you. i literally said it's a gacha game and idc that deeply go be a good little consumer somewhere else
Instead we got the bare minimum so the betrayal could serve someone else's arc but hey it's a gacha game at the end of the day so l've made my peace with it lol
@dangoyunyu Atp is this storytelling or just recycling the same villain. Could showing their dynamic have been repetitive bc we had scara maybe but using him as the same narrative punching bag every arc is ALREADY repetitive so at least give us something with actual weight behind it lol
@dangoyunyu The irony is they keep going back to dottore as a plot device to make other characters stories hit harder but never actually invest in his side of those dynamics. it's just 'dottore did a bad thing and here's how it affected this other person' over and over
@sillaymiku Hoyos special ๐ญ keep it vague so people talk about it for years and then when the moment comes either rush it or just technically address it without actually exploring it. works great for engagement terrible for actual storytelling
@scampadversary I agree itโs characterization but it feels less of that and more narrative convenience imo. if they wanted it to read as that we needed to actually see it not just be handed the conclusion
@scampadversary no buildup or scenes of them interacting as siblings. it just appears in nodkrai as a reveal to add emotional weight to columbina's arc which is fine for her story but it also means dottore got a whole new relationship dynamic introduced and immediately used as a plot device
