oh, there's a thread for this. well, here i go.
i finally decided to give this game a go. it's my kind if style, but it wasn't really accessible to me; it would kill my phone, i don't own any of the current consoles its on, and i got sick of waiting for the promised switch release. so, now it's absolutely murdering my poor laptop, and since i doubt pc/mobile saves will be transferable to switch, it's where i'll probably be stuck playing it.
anyway, it's cute for a free game. i like most of the character designs i've seen, and i've enjoyed the story so far even if my laptop rejects cutscenes. the music is pretty too. i've sunk enough hours into it already to make it clear that i enjoy it lol. i'm never going to be competitive to any degree because i don't even understand the elemental stuff lol. nothing like pokemon, and i'm too busy maining the traveler anyway. i also love bicon lisa <3
i do have some complaints though, as always.
- the... busted? pronouns. i picked the female traveller, and several times the voicelines have referred to me as male or my brother as female despite the dialogue box displaying the correct pronouns. apparently this has been an issue for at least a year, and the fact that it isn't fixed yet is... wild to me. i also got the wrong cutscene about the prince/ss as a result. if the twist wasn't super obvious to me already, this would've made it so.
- hate the gacha thing, but i knew i would going in. you'll never get me to spend money on this game no matter how cute it is lol. i might prefer it if you could roll for any character though? (jean my beloved-) but my understanding is that you have to wait for banners to be re-released or something. even more egregious to me is the outfits; apart from amber's barely different one, the other outfits i've seen so far all cost money, and a lot of it if my math is right. like, almost $30 for what is essentially a reskin? and people thought PC was bad. you could've had me at a few dollars but jesus.
- disheartened by the lack of customization. the fact that they let you name your character made me a little surprised you can't do anything else. (even if it's just a color palette, not necessarily changing hairstyles etc.) i guess that would be too much modelling effort but then there are so many other characters idk.
- kind of annoyed that ascension for the traveller is locked behind adventure ranks, so i'm just stuck at level 40. big sad.
- this is highly specific but you have no idea how annoyed i was when the game wouldn't let me throw that cooking competition and let beth(?) win. i sat there for 20 minutes to wait out the timer and it just restarted the task
- i wish there was a faster way to travel considering how big the map is and how easy it is to get lost on lol. like... so no horse? [throws phone on floor]
anyway shout out to my nosy butt ice bridging for five minutes to that one island, like, 40 levels too early lmaoo. good thing you can cheese those bosses because i was
not making that journey again.
People said Kokomi wasn’t a good unit so I was disheartened to use her at first in the abyss, but now I realize she allows Ganyu to have a more comfortable gameplay since she can apply wet status and heal at the same time. (Ily Mona I really do but I am not used to your skill and sprint yet LOL)
