Now that Fontaine is out and the story line for Sumeru is done, I wanted to see what everyone thought on Sumeru. My sister and I were talking and noticed more negative opinions as of recent.
Overall I thought the story was mid. I was definitely tired of Nahida by 3.4. Mostly tired since it felt similar to Yae or Ayato whenever we see them. They are 5 steps ahead but for Nahida it felt more like she has a problem, you help her, she figures it out midway through quest but doesn't say anything then mentions it at the end.
It would've been nice if they added the underground map feature earlier as well. I would be running in circles since I have a terrible sense of direction lol.
The last thing I've noticed is the issue with making characters one note. It was an issue in Inazuma but has gotten worse as of late.
Want to see what other people like and disliked with Sumeru
Guess I'm in the minority here but I like it!
I just finished the Aranara quest and I loved it...I am the type of person who like a long adventure so Sumeru is right up my alley.
Since I'm from East Asia, names are not a problem for me and that made reading all the dialog much easier but I will say for such an integral quest, it really should have been narrated. The words in it are complicated to read and pronounce and I get the frustration of non-Indian people..."Ararakalari" doesn't roll off the tongue now does it.
Last thing I'll say is the change in opinion after a region releade is typical of the genshin community. People burn themselves out with the same characters and scenery and then complain that the game is stale. I spend time all over Tevat because sometimes I get bored of my surroundings so it's nice to goes somewhere else every once in a while.
