She has statues?
I don't remember any (expect statues of the 7)
Bait used to be believable
Wait, statues of the seven are not of the current hydro archon. They're for . Am I stupid, or are there statues of furina inside the city?
If I’m not mistaken,
It's the same situation in sumeru (technically inazuma, too¹). The statues represent the archon that first took the throne/gnosis in Celestia. Which is weird, because Lord doesn't exist, yet no one had or has the form that is depicted in the statues. And neither >! Focalors !< or furina had that outfit >! Focalrs didn't even exist on the Teyvat realm, and furina was an oceanid before being cursed!<
¹as for inazuma: The statue depicts Ei's twin sister.
Rather than the clothes on Fontaines statue, it’s the hairstyle that is more reminiscent of
Well since we struck into this topic, we might as well dig deeper.
(I now realize that yall speaking facts, so I'm just gonna discus)
(Also I'm just not gonna bother with the spoilers lmao)
There are two sumeru areas, yet one archon controlling them. King Deshret got offered a position in Celestia (I'm guessing, the electro gnosis, or an extra element), but he refused.
If he would take the deal, what would happen?
I’d assume Sumeru would be split into two geographical regions with statues of Deshret in his region. This is of course assuming it’s celestia making the statues
Nah the statue always depict the current/.
If it always has depict the original Archon, Sumeru statue wouldn't have a small figure. Also Egeria had a different side bangs/hairstyles than focalors/furina according to the stone tablet, and the split hair length of Fontaine statue definitely mirrors Focalors/Furina's twintails
Regarding Inazuma statue, since both Baal and Beelzebul are twins, their form depicted in the statue shouldn't be different.
Wait, wait, wait. For sumeru, you have a point. BUT. Nahida never took the form of the statue. From her teaser and ingame cutscenes >! We've known that she always had a form of a small child, Yet (pre-irminsul restart) we definitely saw a cinematic of rukkhadevata in a form that's closer to depicting that statue sacrificing herself and getting redmvirn as nahida !<.
BUT. when we do , the only thing that gets altered in the statues is the "world, forget me" voiceline. the statue does not. Maybe that's because we play with someone who remembers the existence of the original dendro archon, or maybe devs didn't think of a placeholder, idk.
Bytm the way, who even made these statues?
I mean if the statues were always depict the first holder of the elemental authority, Sumeru's statue wouldn't have smol figure, since she only turning smol after fighting Forbidden Knowledge.
Who's the statue maker is never brought upon even once iirc. So we just have to default to Celestia since they're the one who appointed the Archons
Well, is it possible the original Dendro archon started out smol, and grew over time, like current Nahida, symbolizing Dendro's connection to growth?
it was never hinted she's been smol too before Forbidden knowledge crisis, and the fact she's chosen tobe the dendro archon at all after Deshret reject the position, I dont think Celestia would choose her when she's being weakened a.k.a smol, so she must have been at her prime by the time of her appointment. So unless stated, I think it's best to assume she's at full power when she received the throne
I'm not convinced, it was neither hinted she was big nor smol, all we have to go by are the statues here. Zhongli's statue for example clearly depicts him during his prime, yet we know he is not now.
Unless I'm misunderstanding, Nahida is a direct continuation of Rukkhadevata, so the statues should depict her adult self rather than current smol state, unless she had started out as a smol cabbage. Perhaps that's why Deshret was offered the position by Celestia, and his rejection forced them to go to one of the weaker Gods
No, I'm serious. I don't remember ever seeing any.
You got absolutely downvoted to hell for asking a simple question, what even happened
Yeah no idea what thats about.
Lmaooo it’s always itto
If hoyo doesn’t know who to put on a banner it will end up being itto
Kaveh found dead in a ditch
Noelle main is having a blast to have the perfect weapon
Yeah Itto reruns are just Noelle's Weapon Banner rerun
How is this double standards? Furina only appeared in like two events, and one's an optional interaction after Lantern Rite that you could possibly miss. Itto had wayyy more events which is why people are tired of him, and using Furina (and not even Klee) as an example of double standards is completely wrong.
I wouldn't call it optional if it's presented like another part of the event story.
Also it's only double standards in the broad sense (and because I'm bad at titles.)
It's not double standards, it's justice
A rock and roll event surely the rockstar charecter(Xinyan) will be the main focus…right?
MOO MOO!!!
Surely there will be rock music right? (I'm still salty about that)
Gay ass rock-esque ballads. Take it or leave it.
The song was fine but i was expecting electric guitars and things like that.
His JP VA is T.M. Revolution so there are some songs in his catalog that could probably fill that gap, songs like: Invoke, Ignited, Zips, Meteor, Vestige, and his newest one called Freedom.
I was expecting some heavy ass shit…
Why?
I’m delulu.
Furina makes sense since we're still in the Fontaine patch cycle. The problem with Itto is that almost every Inazuma related event HAS to feature Itto in some capacity. Hell, we had Itto show up during the cooking event, he was in the beetle event AND he was in the music festival event. We haven't even seen Sara since the Irodori Festival not even in the yokai event!
You're comparing the best character in the game to Mr. Only Inazuma Character With Significant Screentime
I wish I understood hoyos thought process with that one
WHY is it always itto??? ei only has one (1) cryptic line per event. ayato is dead in a ditch since release (rip). sara... poor sara.
it's like he ate the personality of the entire nation
Ayato did appear in the 4.3 event
I honestly do like Itto, it's just that they use him way too much
yeah but what did he actually do? 💀 I'm an ayato fan but man, hoyo hates the guy. 0 personality
More like exactly like his personality. Ayato is the type that works in the shadows away from people. There's a reason why Ayaka is made the head.
yeah, I'm on ayato mains, I've seen this explanation. there's some merit to it, but I think hoyo could have found a way to make him less boring. that's the job of storytelling after all
his story quest was a snooze for me, the events he appears in are meh... if you're happy with him, then that's great! genuinely.
but all the theories and waiting and hype about him BEFORE his release were, in my opinion, more interesting than what we actually got.
Not really? Ayato’s perspnality is extremely interesting for me because he works as a shadow man rather than center stage like Ayaka which itonically shows Ayaka’s naivety and inexperience when it comes to politics.
His story quest appeals to a lot of political drama which is a hit or miss for many people but for chinese political drama lovers, it’s quite a popular genre to dabble in. His story quest essentially shows him pulling the strings of a publicly revealed marriage that involves two clan heirs and how Ayato uses that image of their clans to both make them owe him a future favor and turn the political marriage into a way where he has full access information between the connections of the three clans. It was really manipulative on his part.
Honestly, all the theories before his release were very stereotypical and quite frankly, boring. A politican isnt a politician through acting nice and though he may genuinely care for Thoma and Ayaka, it’s clear that he’s also willing to step over their boundaries if it means getting ahead politically which overall keeps them safe. He’s just super realistic in that sense.
I just don't think Ayato is executed well. He comes off ingame as way too much of a "keikaku-man" who's perfect, all knowing, and makes convoluted schemes that will never fail.
He was also completely nonpresent for the archon quest where his influence should have at its peak, but that gets into the can of worms of how poor Inazuma's AQ was in general. All we are left with is a vague impression that he was some sort of faceless mastermind.
I mean, his release trailer did retcon in his influence in the archon quest.
I mean that's all well and good but
if people don't see him do things over and over, shockingly, there'll be no reason to care for him. We're essentially told he does stuff but we'll never get to see it. If there's an assassin character and all we have of them is being told they assassinated a guy, we're probably not going to be that interested in said hypothetical character. Since 3.2, we've had perspectives that aren't the Traveler's...which is a good thing, so why not use it with Ayato to both achieve that "he works behind the scenes" shtick for him along with being able to actually see him do that stuff.
Well they did cast T. M.Revolution as the Japanese VA, of course he's going to steal the show lol
yelan only appeared in the 3.4 lantern rite and hasn't since then. i don't think they like many of the inazuma characters at all
yelan has been forgotten by hoyo, 100%. which is funny because she's like a spy, no? so easy to make her be in random places for spy reasons
but she's from liyue, not Inazuma
i had only meant they don't like inazuma characters since yelan was released during inazuma/2.7
i do agree though, yelan should show up more, i swear they reuse the same 10 characters for every event though so who knows when we'll see her again
its an inherent problem with having too many playable characters in games, eventually you will find it difficult to make all of them relevant in the story so my guess is that hoyo forgor about some character's existence and just picked itto coz dude is funny
Because most of the inazuma characters are either uninteresting or controversial due to the inazuma archon quest being the worst by far. Itto and Yomiiya are some of the only universally loved characters and are easy to write into interesting scenarios with other characters from even outside inazuma. As opposed to ei whos character is only random discussions of eternity, fighting, and dango, and yae. Combine that with many people not liking her due to her actions in the archon quest, and you end up with a character that's harder to write in interesting senairios
And thats a problem Mihoyo keeps enforcing by consistently pushing Itto center stage. All they have to do is flesh out the rest of the cast a bit more, hell we know next to nothing abt Sara besides her devotion to the shogun and her beef with Itto. Events are the perfect opportunity to expand on their cast and their traits through unique situations and interactions with one another. We alr know they learn from their mistakes (i;;e improvements made to the sumeru and fontaine AQs after inazuma) so they should be using these opportunities
it's also crazy to consider that they did improve the writing of mondstadt and liyue through events.
(most early quests were not nearly as good as what we got in sumeru & fontaine, I think we all agree on that)
most notably fischl and mona in the summer event a few years ago. they went from meh characters to really fleshed out and interesting in one event!!
but then they completely neglect Inazuma, the worst offender. go figure. more itto screentime coming!!!
Inazuma is Genshin's awkward middle child.
Mondstadt and Liyue are going to get tons of attention because they're the base game.
Sumeru and Fontaine are newer and fresher, so they also command some attention. After Natlan gets added, I suspect Sumeru will also fall into the "neither classic nor current" category.
After Natlan gets added, I suspect Sumeru will also fall into the "neither classic nor current"
I might be biased because sumeru is my favorite nation (in storytelling AND exploration. yes, including the desert), but I don't think that's the case!
even in a vacuum, without the context of other nations, Inazuma was a bad story. started great, didn't delivery on anything. ended.
sumeru had the best archon quest, in my opinion. great twists, great character interactions and dynamics... it's just objectively good, even without comparing it to other nations. they figured something out after Inazuma, and it worked.
Fontaine was good too, but it just didn't catch my interest like sumeru. I'm not saying it's bad. but there wasn't a jump in quality like from Inazuma to sumeru. story wise.
Even though inazuma is my favorite region a lot of the characters have the personality of a piece of cardboard, I mean it’s to be expecteda lot of them work in government and are just coming out of a civil war. They have 3 or 4 characters that could gel well with people from other regions. Itto and Yoimiya are at the top of that list. Then probably Ayaka and Gorou. Some one like Sara… it’s hard to imagine here leaving inazuma.
They're both the same character
But i wasn't talking about Nahida or Deyah(Story)
Ah yes, lets compare the character who was released over 2 years ago and has consistently appeared in events ever, to a fairly new character who is one of the most important characters in their region in a series of patches focused on said region. What a great comparison, bravo.
people are reading too much into this one post lmao
op just likes furina more than itto, that's just it
Feels really different to me because of one key element : Itto was dumbed down.
I don't have issues with returning characters, but I have an issue with portraying them dumber than they actually are just because it's easier to write them that way.
I actually loved seeing Itto in the musical event in 4.6 because he was portrayed correctly and accordingly to how he was presented in his story quest to begin with.
Furina on her side has always been showcased true to herself. She doesn't feel dumber or out of character.
Cyno is another example of the "recurring character that act dumber than they are". Since the end of 3.2 and up until his SQ2 in 4.6, Cyno was only portrayed as "haha jokes and cards" which was really hurtful to see.
So yeah, that's why Collei and Furina being recurring chars have been praised while Itto and Cyno did not : the former are just better written while in events than the latter
But they’ve solidly established why Cyno is the way he is in the events. His own stories and personality reveals it. Events are usually lighthearted things like festivals and games. Cyno has been said and shown repeatedly that he cracks jokes during his downtime and tries not to act so serious when there’s nothing to take seriously. Thats perfectly in character.
Exactly. I also find it funny how people say that Cyno is dumbed down as the dad joke guy... when that's literally what people wanted him to be when he first released. A lot of folks were upset that he didn't come out saying a joke every five seconds despite the fact that it's been told over and over that he only jokes around close people and to others who are unnerved by his resting bitch face. But, to be fair... different crowds, I guess.
I actually liked Cyno and his nerdy personality 🥺
I'm glad I'm not the only one who doesn't like how they chose to write Cyno lately. Feels like they completely missed what made him actually funny and are just turning him into the lame fanon version of himself.
I like cyno and itto but I can't stand collie. Furina is cool and all but I feel like she has less relevance in whatever she is featured in. It's as if a loud character gets more attention and hate because they get more screen time, not appearances. Meanwhile a character who has a small amount of screen time and low screen importance has been liked more somehow
Well that's because there's a manga that revolves around Collei so a lot of people (like me) already loved her a lot since the game's launch or even before.
And she was the central character of the 3.5 Windblume event and had a pretty important place in 3.8 summer event. Add to that she was the first character we meet in Sumeru and the first one we become really close too (thanks to Amber's letters)
She's liked more because she's better written than Itto and Cyno that's all. Yeah they got more screentime but their characters have been butchered and dumbed down during those events. So of course a lot of people grew to dislike them.
Well this wasn't due to just butchering the characters. In gaa 2, the main characters (kazoo, Monza xianyan, fischl) got a lot of attention. That was the first and the only time I saw those characters get hate because "they are so cringe, why they getting screen time". It's just that the ones with more screen spotlight get more hate. Klee is another example
I'm gonna be honest, I've never seen anyone trash GAA2 for the character involvement. I remember hearing a lot of players finding Kazuha's quest a little to slow and slightly boring and that Fischl's island featured challenged that were bothering (had to wait for the NPC statue to finish talking and moving etc...).
But from what I've seen people generally enjoyed it. And actually enjoyed it because of some characters that didn't get enough exposition like Xinyan and Fischl who had little to no content at that time.
But yeah, true for Klee, I see more hate with her but more because of her voice haha ! I do like her though and her JP VA so I never mind seeing her but it's true that seeing her so often can be bothering when characters like Raiden or Yelan basically disappeared aside from Story Quests and Archon Quests
The main issue with Kazuha's GAA quest is it was basically just a rehash of his story quest that we had literally just done.
People days fischl was cringe and they got ear bleed when she talked, people were made that xianyan was a part of the event because she was unpopular (and some called her ugly with her hair tied 💀), mona was called boring but lesser hate
They put a lot of effort into her tho. Especially in the little details like how she has finally finished basic schooling and progressing to the akedemya, improving handwriting(her 1st birthday letter had a typo), and having interactions with so many mondstadt peeps.
Also I wouldn't be surprised if they just suddenly go through with the storyline of her seeing the burning irminsul cuz that is still unexplained.
So that’s why the Sumeru events were so forgettable. It was all about Collei and her dads while Dehya, Candace, Layla and Faruzan were being ignored in every patch.
Wasn't Faruzan literally one of the main characters in one of Sumeru's flagship events? I never really finished that event, but I definitely remember her being part of it with Kaveh, Cyno, and Wanderer. Also, Layla was in the first Pokemon event with Yae Miko. The only ones who didn't really have attention were Candace and Dehya.
What even is her true self?
I played through all the AQ and even her SQ immediately after the AQ and
Just someone who can be serious about his work, has a keen eye for details and just doesn't revolve around jokes and one-liners.
Cyno's Story Quest 2 actually shows really well what kind of character he is : intelligent, protective and extremely skilled.
And I'm not even a big fan of him to begin with. Just doesn't like how Hoyo tend to take the easy route when it comes to writing events (that's why Raiden never appears in events, she would take them too much effort to write in the event story it seems)
I meant Furina, not Cyno.
I know Cynos character halfway well (haven't done his SQs yet, but Soon™.)
Oh Furina true self is a girl dedicated to art and theatrical plays, who loves sweets and cute animals (like the seals as she points out herself)
I guess that fit's. Yeah
Sorry fam but I don't think this is it? Furina literally hasn't been the main focus since 4.3. She just appears there and there like every other character while Itto appears event after event whether its a small one like the beetle fights or a main one like the recent music festival. There's also the matter of how the characters are portrayed when they are brought back which is another gripe people have with itto specifically. Anyways, the main yapper of fontaine is navia if you paid attention lol
She still appeared in every 4.X except maybe 4.6, Itto only appears semi regular.
and i don't remember Navia appearing much after her Banner/SQ.
Navia's appearance: 4.0 - aq, 4.1 - neuvi sq, 4.2 - aq, 4.3 - banner + sq, 4.4 - lantern rite, 4.5 - chiori sq, 4.7 - clorinde sq, 4.8 - upcoming event appearance
(she's only missing in 4.6 i believe)
Furina's appearance: 4.0-4.2 - archon quest + sq, 4.3 - event, 4.4 - lantern rite, 4.5 - lynette hangout, 4.7 - clorinde sq
(no appearance for 4.6 and 4.8)
Neuvillette's appearance: 4.0-4.2 - aq + sq, 4.3 - small missable appearance, 4.4 - lantern rite, 4.6 - arle sq, 4.7 - sigewinne sq
(no appearance for 4.5 besides rerun and 4.8)
someone's been appearing for almost every patch and it's not furina
Well I shouldn't procrastinate SQs anymore and we don't know if Furina won't have a cameo in 4.8.
Navia has literally appeared more than Furina. I think even Lyney has Furina beat or at least equal in terms of appearances.
Wait, Lyney has appearances?
I haven't done any SQs in Fontaine except Neuvillettes and Furinas, but I don't remember him being in any events or so.
he's in 4.0, 4.1, and 4.2 archon quests. no appearance in 4.3 iirc, 4.4 was in the cooking event, 4.5 was in Lynette's hangout and Chiori's SQ, 4.6 was in Arlecchino's SQ, 4.7 is in Clorinde's SQ
I really forgot about that cooking event and for some reason, didn't thought about him being in his sisters hangout.
I love Itto as a character. His VA also give 110% and om there for it.
That said I don't like playing Itto, and he doesn't fit into my team(s). Farina on the other hand. 100% fits into my treams.
I don’t think there is a single team Furina doesn’t fit into tbh. I think I have her in like 8 of my 11 team slots rn
Fair enough.
His VA also give 110% and I'm there for it.
Still thinking about Max going full on opera singer during the recent event cutscene. The man cannot be stopped and he should not be stopped.
Exactly!
OP really thought he did a "gotcha" moment there.
He did, look at all the rabid Furina simps.
Not really when OP is dead wrong.
I don't even remotely like these 2 and even then I can still tell which one of them is the overused comic relief lol
Am I that wrong?
No one complains about Furina being in many patches, but they do about Itto.
No one complains about her because other Fontaine members get a chance to shine in events and patches and Furina at times is also a side character (eg the film festival). Inazuma characters not named Itto though?
Because Itto shows up in what feels like half the flagship patch events. He's overused - I like him, I have him, I wish he was viable enough to use him, but HYV keeps throwing him into events to be the designated comic relief, and it takes away from other characters having room to shine while also making people get tired of him.
Furina's been in... what, one event so far? And that event wasn't even focused on her, unlike Itto's seemingly endless Arataki Gang events.
Overconfident idiots make me sick, and he is a cartoonishly exaggerated example of them. No offense, just my opinion, to give you an idea why I don't like him appear in events.
Because FuriGOAT >> the comic relief
Well, at the very least Furina doesn't take a good chunk of the screentime whenever she's involved in something. I personally don't like the idea of bringing these characters into events only for them to do their character tropes, like Furina being a scaredy-cat and having super anxiety or Itto being the absolute dumb himbo that he is. It would've been better if they actually progressed their stories, even if a tiny bit, but if they REALLY just want to dumb them down to their character tropes, at the very least don't make them the main star of the show.
Furina is exactly that, and in stories that she's a part of where she's not the main character, she never stays long enough to be annoying. At the very least, people could tolerate that. Itto is anything but that. Dude is literally the Inazuma character with the most screentime, and for no good reason at all. He's only there because it's easy to write him getting into trouble (get it? Because he's so dumb that he gets into trouble?) and ultimately, the thing is resolved because Kuki and the Traveller have to pick up his slack. Now seeing him do that for 3 patches back-to-back, all of them VOICED events at that, gets on people's nerves.
Because think about it, why out of 15 playable characters from Inazuma, is he the ONLY one getting any significant amount of screentime? Hell, not even Inazuma, out of 5 nations we've been to, why is THIS guy involved in so many stories instead of, idk, any other character that might have stories that they haven't told yet? Hell, he's not even there as just a cameo, he's literally the main character of the event. Why? Hell, why is the Rock and Roll NOT a Xinyan event and is instead an Itto event?
I'm kinda just getting tired of him ngl
The problem was the rock event didn't even had fucking Xinyan
Because she has no reason to appear in that event? She already fulfilled her wish on lantern rite to be a part of Iridescent tour. So she has literally zero reason to appear there?
Even I think it’s too soon for another Itto event
Furina is an important character in the region we are mainly in itto is a side character from a region we focused on a while ago
Same with kazuha
Really. I feel like I see more people enjoying itto in events regardless of how many times he's come.
There's only so many times you can interact with the village idiot before it stops being funny. If they want him in an event then at least show his serious side like in his Story Quest.
Itto Fatigue.
…because one played a major role in the story and had phenomenal writing while the other is a screen-time black hole who hijacks events that could easily have had other, more interesting characters in the flagship role?
I still haven't forgiven Itto for being the star of the first ever Rock N Roll event, when Xinyan should have been the rightful person to play a part in it.
Edit: Screw your down votes. I'm not sorry. Xinyan had every right to be a part of the event, but Itto stole the role. To hell with you down voters, I'm not apologizing, and I wish all of you bad RNG and your pulls unlucky.
You're right and you should say it. Literally the first time we hear about the irridescence tour is from Xinyan herself and shes missing from the actual event?
Because she already did it in Liyue with hu Tao.
I agree with you 100%, how the f*ck did Hoyo thought yeah we gonna do Rock event without the one damn character that whole personality is rock n roll.
Because she already played a part in iridescent tour in Liyue lantern rite. Her dream was fulfilled that was established since Inazuma where she missed it.
She fulfilled it in Liyue she has zero fucking reason to appear again in Inazuma.
Itto is the only character I've fully levelled to 90 with a maxed Whiteblind and Lv20 artifacts. I've routinely asked Hoyo in surveys to give Max Mittleman a raise.
I will not call HR on my GuyBroDude >:(
Itto is way too overused, to the point where I hate his face now.
Itto banner = Geo Wolflord in abyss. So yeah.
Noelle maids/mains without r5 redhorn rejoice
jokes on them. i like both. X]
love my boy itto
People are really reading too much into this meme lmao
The amount of yapping that could be brought out of simply saying "Double standards" reminds me of Zy0x's "Duality of mankind" tweet
Itto is one of the best characters in the game that actually has some semblance of a personality. I only even come back to the game when a new story update happens or Itto is featured in an event.
archon rerun train is entering the station choo choo
Bring Itto back! I need Stonethresher for my Noelle!
Nah fuck Itto, double standard all the way to the Celestia
Double standards in what sense? One is a super cute hydro support while the other is a bull chucker with a neglected geo element whose on field damage can’t compare to Furina off field benefits.
Because itto is cringe
Me, who enjoys both characters:
PATHETIC.
I don't like either chara
Same with Navia the master yapper lol
You can absolutely tell who has a good read on a character and how to write them properly for a temporary lighthearted event and who doesnt.
It’s quite simple, Itto is fun to right for and mostly a lighthearted character. Sure, he has serious moments in his personal story quest but thats not who he is as a person(or oni?) Events in general are meant to be lighthearted explorations of something: a new or annual festival, a new celebration, a new legends or myth.
Itto is just curious or gullible enough to want to know about these things or otherwise drive a plot to discover these things. He’s not portrayed as “hrrdrr dumb oni” unlike what a lot of people seem to have selective memory on that, he’s just Itto. He’s gullible, he’s a scardey cat, he likes stories and exploring new things, his crew has a fun dynamic, and he’s very extroverted. There’s basically no other character that can drive a mundane plot along in an entertaining way like Itto.
Funny enough, even if most of the events not including Itto are usually dumb fun and nothing else, the community starts complaining about “bloated dialogue” or “boring event with no character development”. People really cant make up their minds about what to think about events and Itto as a character just highlights it.
Sure, he has serious moments in his personal story quest but thats not who he is as a person(or oni?)
Personally, I think the issue is that these serious moments are too far and few between. Itto's story quest perfectly shows us his goofy and lighthearted, yet earnest and strong-willed side at various points of the quest. We also get to learn about the views some people have regarding Onis such as thinking they're just trouble waiting to happen. On top of that, his character story 5 and some voice lines reveals to us the discrimination he faces as an Oni.
But all of this is kind of rendered meaningless because we literally never see or hear about these issues again (except for one instance in Perilous Trail but nobody cared when that was brought up so I'm not counting it).
The way he's been written since his story quest, in my opinion, overly accentuates that goofy side and forgoes other parts of his character too much. Like during the Irodori Festival, when Itto and his gang were hogging the picture board, the writers could've had some people arguing with him for being there and thrown in a slight remark about Onis to show how people still have issues with his kind and then have Traveler and Thoma come in to mediate instead of them convincing Itto to leave by using the drink he wanted to get.
Another time I felt that his characterization was lacking was during Perilous Trail. After Itto punches the wall, that could have been a moment for him to have a conversation with Yelan and Xiao and developed their relations, but instead the writers knocked him out and removed him from the most important parts of the quest entirely. And after he wakes up, nothing happens between those 3. Itto never even acknowledges her or that he was at fault for the whole ordeal before leaving.
Itto is just curious or gullible enough to want to know about these things or otherwise drive a plot to discover these things
Honestly not sure when this has ever happened
He’s not portrayed as “hrrdrr dumb oni” unlike what a lot of people seem to have selective memory on that, he’s just Itto.
I wanna say I agree, but then I look at things like Heizou's hangout quest. Like seriously, that is the most blatant depiction of him being unironically dumber than a rock
Funny enough, even if most of the events not including Itto are usually dumb fun and nothing else, the community starts complaining about “bloated dialogue” or “boring event with no character development”.
People do it with Itto's events too. If the character shown isn't someone they care about, someone is bound to complain about the event unfortunately.
As someone who got Itto and his weapon last rerun and still haven't farmed the beetles, I must say. The pain will hit at some point
I know i got him from some yolo rolls early on jisfirst banner and he's still stuck at 70 because of the beetles (same for Heizou but at a lower level.)
My Cyno is stuck at 70, Itto at 40. I need more then 200 beetles and 400 Dragonspire ores
Itto quickly became a character I actually hate, which for a gacha game is pretty hard to do
mfw all yall hating on itto 😭😭😭😭
like fuck stop hatin on my man 😭😭😭
Give her a break, she’s gonna be irrelevant after two patches anyway.
I doubt that.
People still care for Furina?

It's a bit expected for the character who we see statues of herself all over the nation to appear in the events of that nation, right?
