I think a huge part of it is the ones hyping it up are all people in higher ARs that know a lot about the game. When a new character comes out they get the character, but cannot raise the character fully lacking materials, or they already have a main team that they have already raised. The whales also prioritize raising the 5 stars because they are sure to be broken.
I'm glad that I started playing the game when Rosaria just came out. She was one of my first 4 stars and still my main dps until this day. I was still new to the game so I was just experimenting with characters. I ended up liking her gameplay with her E. Combat feels really fluid and dynamic if you play around with her charged attacks and E.
That brings me to another point omg. The community only really cares about big numbers. They prioritize numbers instead of feel and gameplay. For 4 stars main dps are rare. The only prioritized 4 stars are the supports, and some as sub dps.
It upsets me how most of these people get hyped up over a character but completely abandon their lore.
Sure, you may like them simply because of the design and/or playstyle, but isn't it the story that molded them? Lots of the people who called themselves "Venti stans" or "Zhongli stans" weren't even aware of the characters' major happenings in their story, like Venti's ascension to Archon (and why his appearance is like that).
When Yoimiya was foreshadowed without even having her lore or bio released, lots of people started switching their favorite characters. The only thing they know is that she's the "better Amber;" then when Kazuha's lore was released and some people crazed over things like what happened to his hand, so many Kazuha lovers (and havers) just went "WOAH, anyway—" as if the character wasn't even a character but a tool. That's been happening since Xiao's then Albedo's banner.
I agree! It seems like a fad to hype new characters. Most base the initial smping on the JP VAs and others just want their waifus and husbandos.
I started with Sucrose, Xiangling, Noelle and Beidou and I shall stick with them until the end or I move on should the game get boring.
it's the nature of a gacha game. Nothing lasts for too long here.
I mean I still love Ningguang, and if it's the new ones, I swear I will worship the hell out of Sara Kujyo for as long as I can if she is one and you can hold me to this xD
I have noticed that DPS characters are far easier forgetten than supports
most of the time 4 stars have better designs than 5 stars.
it's a fact.
This opinions always savage as my whole words that i cant afford to say.. good thing u say it my man..
that's approving mihoyo marketing tactic is succesful lol
I get happy everytime there's a new 4* just because that means I can get them more easily haha, but I agree with you, when Kazuha was announced, a lot of people skipped Eula, and then Yoimiya was announced and everyone started skipping Kazuha, then Baal was announced and now skip Yoimiya lol and it goes on. People need to appreciate the moment more, not just think about the future all the time. I bet a lot of people will speedrun the exploration in Inazuma in a few days and then start complaining there's no content.
i mained yanfei just because i needed a pyro dps , pain.
Actually, something needs to be clear out.
1. Not all people are the same, something that sprouts people with the same opinion with great number, doesn't necessarily mean that all community member agreed on it. For example, on the surface, there are 100 people hyped up about something, but that's it. Only 100 people. Let say there are only 100 out of 1000 who have the same opinion while the other 900 people could care less. So what I'm trying to say is, just because there are many people who have the same opinion, it doesn't necessarily mean that the whole community have the same thought.
2. There are different taste for different people. The one who hyped about this specific character, might not be same guy who hyped the next character. So when they do get the character they want, they feel satisfied and does not have to show that to anyone, thus stay silent as they already got what they want.
3. I still have many things to say but I do not know how to put it in words, so just go with this. What can you expect in the end after the hype ends? Happy, celebration. That's it.
The average genshin player has the attention span of a child, what do you expect them to do?
That's why I prefer being f2p , I treat my characters like they're my family
This is one of the indicators that in fact 99% of people care mostly about value of a character and it`s tier position, especially a main dps potential, not their personality.
I think people overshadow new 4* because they either have that element 5* or just don't like their playstyle
As for you mentioned Rosa and Yanfei, I use Rosa or Diona with Eula in abyss
And about Yanfei… I actually don't have any 5* Pyro dps, so I built her (talent 8/8/8) plus I had Lost Prayers so that was a dub but I'm still farming Witch set since like 3 weeks and still no decent artifact, absolutely stupid fucking domain
Well people never rly forgot about rosaria. Many are still pulling on kazuha just for her.
But yeah; yanfei is easily forgotten since everything about her is ningguang+ klee.
I skip Klee because of Yanfei and I didn't regret it..Now I manage to get Kazuha and when I pair Yanfei with him and Zhongli I can literally breeze every domain.. From artifacts, talent books and to weapon ascension materials.. It's also one of the the reason why I easily manage to reach Friendship 10 with her.. My Yanfei is still c0 so now I will scout on Ayaka's banner for her..😁
I wasn't excited for these characters, specifically i don't really like Rosaria's design (i like her name card though), and Yanfei is just like pyro Ning, at least it looked like it to me. Eventually i got both of them, both of them are not built, because i don't have time and resources for them, both of them are c0.
For now i'm excited for Sayu, but only because of her passive ability. If it's true, then i must have her. As a slow mobile player.
The times when i was excited for the new characters are somehow gone. The last one was Eula, the first one was Zhongli actually. The rest characters never interested me, and i got them mostly because of their abilities (like Ganyu, because you don't really need to aim with her) or Venti (because he is the best vacuum cleaner), not because i actually like those characters. For now, Mihoyo showed a lot of new characters like Kokomi or Yae or even Baal, but none of them i find interesting enough. It will depend on their gameplay, but most definitely i'll skip them for Baizhu. I really like his design and because he's dendro and catalyst user i'm super interested in him. I don't get the hype around Ayaka though. Eula looks much better. But i guess everyone has different tastes. As for 4 stars, i dunno… I remember seeing Razor on preview at the shop long long time ago, and i liked that preview, i thought that that character was limited and the only way to get him was to buy him from the shop, but then i learned that he was claymore user and i saw his full design and i wasn't that impressed anymore. Somehow i imagined him differently. And was disappointed. Eh… So then i kinda decided not to be overly excited for new characters i see. Only when i play with them a bit. Maybe…
tbh i didnt know people hyped yanfei in the first place but she's probably one of the best characters i have (i main her lol)
I'm more hype for 4 stars because you can get to pity faster
Consomption syndrome ? I still main YanFei and use Rosaria + favonius R5 as battery for Eula. Have to admit that even if I’m Ar55, I still learn how to use my hero’s 😁😅
are you expecting that we would hype on the character until the story ends? LOL
The simple answer is that their performance aren't impressive. You first love a character for their look, and then after that all that keeps you from getting bored of that character is their performance.
I once used Ningguang for a very long time, because I liked her, then she barely gets used nowadays because she simply can't catch up with others and her gameplay is too boring after a while.
Booba or cuteness, they all fade away once people have seen them often enough.
Ironically, characters with better performance automatically gets the love regardless of their actual look (cough.. Xingqiu and Bennett cough)
i hyped up Yanfei but i got 2 Zhonglis and no Yanfei so I'll just stick to Klee idk
Some people live for the hype, and then there is me that will EVENTUALLY level 80-90 all of my characters because I want to explore them all… Eventually…
Now everyone going to put Yanfei and Rosaria as their profile. 😀
People weren't mad about Rosaria's breasts being nerfed because it was Rosaria's breasts being nerfed. People were mad about it because people don't like bs censorship in their games, and Rosaria's situation just set a precedent for censorship.
As for Yanfei… that's not a 4 star problem, it's an every character thing. The community is always hyped for the new character, then forgets about it when the next new character comes to hype over. That's how pretty much all gacha communities are, and it's how they continue to gain money.
i feel like this happened to eula, everyone was really crazy for her and i would always see community posts about her, but now i've heard nothing LOL
just because they don't main every new 4 star that doesn't mean they don't have them in teams and like ther playstyle lol
hype? more like.. crippling gambling addiction
In my opinion I think we are so conditioned to focus on Five Stars since there is an abundance that people don’t cover the four stars enough. But I’m a Rosaria main. 😭
I wanted to main Childe and Rosaria because they looked good together but now I just choose the units based on elements and a swift victory. Childe and Rosaria are in one of the teapot's bedrooms doing grownup stuff!
this and the one upping tendencies of genshin players. On any arbitrary comment section you can probably find someone talking about how well their pulls went then someone will reply to that and say well i got c2 of that chara in 20 pulls like ??? what was the point of that comment
yanfei is one of those characters i didnt expect to be one of my mains, when she first got leaked i was like “oh cute, shes a lawyer” then moved on but when i got her on zhongli banner her playstyle really grew on me!
sucks that her hype died down a bit and some people call her “budget klee” now even though she’s amazing in her own way, i just wish people would stop hyping up characters too much then immediately complain when those said hype characters don’t reach their expectations or whatever.. like pick one do you like the character or nah 💀
I still remember smug yanfei
Yes you are absolutely right i am a yanfei dps player and rarely see videos and players for yanfei this makes me feel a bit uncomfortable as i am a f2p and getting a good 5 star is Hard so yes you are right i think this video should reach till complete genshin community
i think that playstyle is a huge factor in this – per example i love catalyst users so much and that made me get yanfei to c6 (ning you're next) but then i have childe benched at lvl 80 w built talents and artifacts because he's just boring to me… i learned from it and skipped eula because i didn't enjoy her trial run but pulled for kazuha because he adds fun to the game for me. but some people like claymore/meele stance so they will hate characters that fights w range/no phys damage.
My thoughts are that you should stop making shit content.
I use Rosaria everyday with my melt team on floor 12 too
I never hyped characters in general tho 😛
i have yanfei and rosaria, i have them both as my second team and still making them do decent damage on par with my main team.
