I think player many not realize why Genshin still on top 10 is never about because of their gender ratio. Its always about character relevancy and interaction. Even the latest summer event had all Fontaine including some popular npc albeit some of them is cameo but voiced. Now the Moonchase even with how funny Zibai and Zhongli lol. next patch is the most economical for Genshin. Everyone will involved.
When I talk about how involving old characters and making the story not just like a date/121 actually helps the world feel alive, I get told "Not everything has to be like Genshin." And I'm just like bro, that's not a Genshin thing. That's a story thing. 95% of stories told in a serialised fashion have a recurring cast of characters. And when they don't there's usually some other artistic value they're going for instead. As opposed to monetary concern about selling one character.
It’s hilarious when you bring up the importance of ensemble recurring casts adding depth to characters and you get people brushing it off saying not every story has to be like “hoyos”. Like bruh, play any actual jrpg and you’d realize hoyo is just really inspired by jrpg stories .
