#And the player listing off Jean; Mona; Klee; And Diluc as their examples of ''''surface level character depth''''

Honestly every time I see someone complain about the problems with Genshin's story, it's ALWAYS never about the actual issues with the story, and more about how the player complaining isn't fucking paying attention or is too impatient about a plot point to wait and find out if it's relevant to later parts of the story or not, and thus prematurely dubs it a plot hole or an unanswered question.

So any time I see people complain about Genshin's story my answer is typically one of two things: Pay Attention You Absolute Fool, or Give it a Fucking Minute.

#genshin impact #For context: I saw someone pre 3.0 whining and complaining about how Signora got a big backstory but ended up dying when Scaramouche #....... according to them............ /didn't/ have a backstory #and they were complaining that HE was playable and not her #Like weren't BOTH of their back stories in artifact sets????? Hello????? #Anyway this particular point is definitely among the ''Give it a Fucking Minute'' answers #because LO AND BEHOLD THE SUMERU ARCHON QUEST WAS VERY HEAVY WITH SCARAMOUCHE LORE LMAO #There's also a secret third option: Now You're Just Lying #Where the player is complaining about a ''problem'' of the game while cherry picking examples of that problem while pretending that like #ALL aspects similar to it are the same #In this instance: Staying the 5 star Character Story Quests are bad because they are surface level Only #And the player listing off Jean; Mona; Klee; And Diluc as their examples of ''''surface level character depth'''' #While also dismissing the HUGE character and lore drops in something like #Venti's story quest #which RE-CONTEXTUALIZES EVERYTHING WE THOUGHT WE KNEW ABOUT VENTI but I guess you (general you) weren't paying attention #OR Itto's story quest!!! Which gave us HUGE commentary about bigotry towards a minority in the metaphor of how humans treated Onis #and the complications that arose from that #and Itto as a character just *chef's kiss* #Just. Tired of people not paying attention to the story they're complaining about #being impatient #or just flat out lying
