Act 3 is so lackluster omg. Act 4 is the real resolution to act 3 and the fortress arc. Act 5 is my favorite of Fontaine. I can't wait till you guys get there.

This quest is heavily disliked for 2 big reasons. The monotonous tasks and unsatisfactory conclusion. You saw the repeat dialogue, so imagine actually having to go through all of the gameplay segments repeatedly until you hit a story threshold. And yes, the length was a factor in the conclusion. Gacha games only have a few hours of story to tell. It’s a setup quest that will pay off next Act.

Hoyoverse devs only reveal behind the scenes stuff for like milestone videos or streams. Even then, they never address specific mistakes players feel strongly about. Only that they say they made a mistake and will “fix” it. The Gacha market space is very competitive, and they are the top dogs. So any bad PR, they want to avoid even if it doesn’t give any players comfort. For this particular quest though, and this is just speculation, they were most likely wanting to simulate actual prison life by purposefully padding out the gameplay with the monotonous tasks. Thing is, that doesn’t translate well into gameplay if you overdo it.

It definitely is a strange way to end off act 3, but it is worth mentioning that the archon quests are generally released in pairs: Acts 1+2, Acts 3+4, then act 5 on its own. As a result they're typically played together and the story for first act in the pair can sometimes run into the second.

I’m assuming you’re already a few parts into Act 4, so I’ll just say the last grievances I have. Those rumors we’ve been investigating this whole quest? Players really felt like they were just a big waste of time once we actually got to their explanations. Because they have no importance to what’s actually happening in the plot. The mystery meat? Unimportant. The red liquid? Unimportant. The strange pipe noises? That was the only thing that progressed the story in any meaningful way. Gacha games already eat up your time in various other ways. So players that aren’t keen on wasting time are especially vocal.

Weekly Reminder! Furina’s Teaser must be watched before Act 5. “The Ancient History Teyvat” must be seen immediately after Act 5 The latter one especially needs to be done so the information told at the end of the Act is still fresh in your head.

Question of the day: Out of all the media you have seen, which one’s lore would you say you are more familiar with?

September 16th is my birthday. So these are my requests as to what I wish for you to see. To be clear, I just want you to pick one of them. 1. Namco X series I’ve been requesting for a few years now, so I’m hoping can be done over time. Maybe even once a month? If you can only do one though, my recommendation would be Project X Zone as that has characters you’ll recognize. And if you like it, I hope it’ll let you take a look at Project X Zone 2 as that has even more characters you’ll recognize. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLhDcJRCci7AyF4FAFSqWRR-8TF4eNV7aZ&si=99CjZRSrpUMm-ZYX 2. “The Complete History of TEKKEN Crossovers” by BoogardMG I just think it’s a fun little look as to what other medias Tekken has been involved in. It’ll also be a supporter for my stance on you guys looking into the Namco X series. https://youtu.be/t0jN__ijCdE?is=lAyvPh6xnwH0s8Ul 3. “The Curious Case of KOS-MOS” by Xenobits Since you just recently got done with your cutscene journey of Xenoblade. I want you to take a look at one of the main characters from the series that precedes Xenoblade. The lore surrounding this character in real life is very fascinating as even though her series is dormant, she herself, is still used by the company every now and then for crossover stuff. This will be used as a supporter for Namco X series. https://youtu.be/t0jN__ijCdE?is=lAyvPh6xnwH0s8Ul

Definitely Not Definitive

I mean that’s tough to answer because there is a vast world of media out there and with the channel we consume a lot. I think of things that Ken and I have gotten really into which in large part have been live action TV shows, like game of thrones or stranger things, shows that just suck us in and then we discuss the events of the episode over dinner, chat about favorite characters, and try to guess what’s coming next. So those worlds we get really into the lore because we’re so engaged with the story, and we share the interest so it’s not just something we watch but something we discuss outside of watching it.
