The amount of lore from Genshin alone from artifacts and books etc. Collectibles IS HUGE

EDIT:I think I created a war lmao, but in all seriousness you can have your opinion wether the Story is "good" or "bad".
Just let the players enjoy it and if you dislike it just don't interact with the fandom or game, it's literally that simple.
Idk why you should play the game if not for it's story tbh...the Playstyle is not rlly anything shockingly strategic compared to horizon zero dawn or other open world games.(I still love Genshin it's my favorite game and I do enjoy both the Playstyle and Story and hope for more changes in the future)
Have a great day

As a lore enthusiast myself. You'll be thrilled the amount lore the game has. Stories of a fall of a nation, nationwide tragedies from misunderstanding, the repercussion of downing a guardian of his people. There's like so many.

Necrit: "I don't even know what's in the end game"
Veterans: "Neither do we"

[yetiridernunu]

being there for each of these streams has been amazing, from the 5 star pulls to necrits "john lee is lying hes not really the archon" theories has just been a wild ride

Seeing people enjoy genshin for the first time is truly heart warming.

Damn bro, if you found genshin lore impressive right off the bat, if you ever play far enough you’ll love once you get past Inazuma. I genuinely feel like the writers improved so much by the time you get to the Chasm. I was actually genuinely impressed with the writing at this point and loved what came after. Sumeru’s story quest was so good.

[mariannetra]

As a genshin player for the past 2 years and an avid necrit watcher, I am so incredibly overjoyed to see both in one single video

I burst out laughing when he mentioned he finished the perfume quest. Ying'er is ... Something else, lol

One thing I noticed about Genshin's gacha is that their banners are not flashy or blatantly advertised right in front of your screen. When you boot up Genshin, you are met with a tidy HUD of your characters and the surrounding environment. There isn't a scrolling, shouting banner telling you to HEY!!! PULL THIS CHARACTER!!!. Genshin's gacha is really tame compared to other games I've played. The system is entirely optional. Hell I've gotten 6 5-star characters from the banners without paying a single cent! After a while of playing, I realized I've been enjoying all of this content for *free*. Amazing cutscenes, simple gameplay, cute characters and voice acting... all for free... Wow.

I never thought I needed this but it makes so much sense. Genshin has so much amazing "hidden" lore and Necrit is the master of video game lore. This is literally perfect. Also I just love Genshin and Necrits content hahha

[katagames]

There is an unwritten rule in the genshin community, that is everytime a new character teaser/demo comes out, we must watch Zhongli's one.

[kimikosamajd]

The thought of Necrit getting so deep into the genshin lore that he starts making story and theory videos like the league ones is amazing, I would love that! Genshin's lore and theories are DEEP

[dsVektor]

I went into Genshin completely blind last year. Apparently I was living under a rock and I didn't even know what type of game it was. And I must say, it actually really surprised me. I've enjoyed it more than a lot of games I try.

[megamind]

Other things I think are worth mentioning:
1. Every now and then, the game gives away free characters and skins through limited-time events.
2. In the gacha, there's a noticeable "soft pity" wherein you have a significantly higher chance to pull a 5-star even before you reach the hard pity.
3. Notice how differently every character returns from their normal attack depending on what part of the combo they stopped; Also notice how they stand differently on various terrain/slopes/obstacles; even how smaller characters wield smaller weapons and have to vault over certain obstacles that taller characters can just walk through. It's weird how there's so much detail in those, yet they all simply turn their bodies like robots during dialogues.

This is the one and only genshin video I needed to see from a content creator. Nothing but a fair and honest review of the game from first impressions. I think you making lore videos on the game would do wonders and this is coming from someone who has been playing since launch. You are in for a wild ride and I hope you continue to enjoy the games story.

The fact that you actually realize the problem of event being time limited is really impressive, I really want mihoyo to let new player experience the past event in game. But for now, I need to stuck with archived playthrough to consume those lores. After I watch the 2.8 event, I am just so upset to see such a quality content has taken away from all others new players. I really wish we can change this situation around, gain some notices to the devs.
Anyway, it is a very well made first impression video for Genshin, very well done.

As a launch player it's nice seeing people put aside their initial judgements and trying out the game. I know the game is made fun a lot in the gaming community but I truly believe it is something special. There is so much amazing lore and the combat system is so in depth and very friendly to theory crafters.

[sables]

Something that you probably still haven't seen because you're still very early in the game is the Friendship Level with the characters. The more you do missions, dominions, and other things with them the higher your friendship with them gets (the max being 10), and through that, you unlock voice lines and short stories about them - one being how they got their vision or their point of view on that.

[yoogleza]

As a Genshin veteran who started the game from day 1, I have really wished for you to cover the lore of Genshin because its storyline is huge!

[sailorenthusiast]

It's nice seeing more people who wouldn't normally try out Genshin give it a fair shake. It's far from perfect, of course, but it's not a trashy gacha like a lot of people who don't play the game seem to think. Of course, as someone who's been playing the game semi regularly since launch, I do feel the gacha aspects of the game are what hold it back design wise. Mainly the stamina/resin system, and the rng hell that is artifact system.
