Thinking about this again.
Actually, this is the reason why I tend to think the EN fanbase’s hyper-fixation on “colonization” and the dragons’ vengeance is not really relevant in the Genshin context, if not completely off.
Speculations only, but as mentioned in the quote thread-
@TapStrafeGrampa I think it has to do with the physical location of the livers as well - all 3 picked are physically living in Japan, no? It probably would be easier to manage (ping-wise, or if they had to go to a studio). Not invalidating your feelings, just trying to see another angle on this.
