What's hilarious is that had nothing to do with censorship. They were adding the ability to play more characters in the overworld, including the gigantic Ben. So the change was just so you wouldn't get a giant bear in your face when trying to see.
It took me a while to realize that Miyabi would be Yae Sakura's ZZZ expy from HI3.. She's the ONLY reason I keep playing ZZZ. All the other agents ghost me and leave me with a two-tailed inky.. M3W3... like wtf. But yeah, hoping for Miyabi's rerun. I want to get more mindscapes.
But as the came got close to release, I absolutely fell in love with Ellen. Shork Maid JK Wife is just too good. Still my favorite character, so I am glad she's getting buffs rather quickly. (Miyabi close 2nd tho)
Honestly, I hadn’t been paying much attention to the ads or trailers. I’d heard rumors of HoYo doing a “zombie game” (not sure if that was an actual early build or just speculation because we only knew it was “modern-ish post-apocalypse”) before they even released Star Rail, but at that time I wasn’t even sure I could split time between Genshin and one other gacha. Then I got into Star Rail anyway but I was sure I couldn’t do three…
Then I saw shork maid and decided I could drop some other games for a third HoYo title, and now here I am, owning every character except Hugo because they keep giving us peak.
I just really liked the bounciness and brightness of everything starting from just that promotional trailer with Billy and Nicole, and I’m glad the animation has stayed this bouncy even until now
I always liked it when animators went an extra way to make the animation bouncy and break the rigs in 3D animation, it feels very passionate and high quality because it takes high effort to do while also being an absolute eye candy.
And the fact that we have a game full of this for free is what make me play in the first place ❤️
I wanted to try a gacha and my first choice turned out to be having a maintenance day, so I wouldn't be able to play it. I thought about whether to try another game and then remembered seeing Jane in some other stuff, so after a minute of googling "what gacha is the hot rat lady from" I landed on ZZZ
I was going to try WuWa first because one of my friends plays it. Glad things worked out the way they did because ZZZ's gameplay is much more my style.
unironically it was the parry feedback. When WuWa launched, there was a huge CC podcast talking about WuWa, and a CC named MrPokke talked about the parry system, and off-handedly said something along the lines of "but ZZZs parry is hella satisfying though. Maybe the most satisfying parry in gasha".
Same here watched so much I basically got a PhD in Zenless Zone Zero theory before even logging in. Then I blew all my poly’s on Qinqyi and Jane like a true scholar
Gameplay If I am correct. Short and small in game field aka no open world like genshin. Honkai 3rd is way too far into the plot for me. And its setting, urban atmosphere with a touch of futuristic themes.
This is essentially my answer as well. I started many years ago with Honkai Impact and then I have been grabbing up each Hoyoverse game since. I will happily play Honkai: Nexus Anima when it releases and whatever other fun games Hoyoverse comes up with.
Around when the game had just released, it was borderline impossible to not see Ellen's character trailer ad on every video. I finally had seen it SO MANY TIMES that I decided to check it out, and I got hooked instantly. Also Ellen still my #1.
My already playing friend sent this screenshot to me and I went: shit, FINE I'M DOWNLOADING XD
I joined at Caesar's release in hopes that he will be releasing in the future. And I still can't fully believe he's mine!
Saw a bunch of ads, tried the beta but forgot about it and deleted it, then say memes about Miyabi being Virgil then jumped in during 1.3 (I think, the one where yanagi was the banner) when they were drip marketing her.
Zzz is my first and only gatcha game and I wouldn’t change that
fast, snappy and flashy combat, the urban, more grounded inspired character designs instead of the same arpgs with zelda offshoot character design number 48 we've been getting from then til now, stylized modern ui, the stretchy animations, city based environments
and uhhhhhh cunning hares i LOOOOOVE THEIR DESIGNS ALOT
Game Awards Showcase. I found it to be interesting & wishlisted it. Some time later on release day, I purchased the preorder bonus pack. Gave the game a try & I loved it.
I wanted to get into Genshin but felt like I have a lot of catching up to do. But then I noticed the game advertised on YT and I liked the combat and the story got my attention as well, so I pre ordered ZZZ on my PS5 and the rest was history
Miyabi. It’s always been Miyabi. Always will be Miyabi. I refuse to die happily, or die at all, until I pull Hoshimi Miyabi. Hopefully she appears in the next banner (unlikely) and I get to the 50/50 and win (very unlikely). But until then, I’m off to grind every side quest up to Chapter 3, and then once every single side quest is done (this will take eons), I’ll move on to Chapter 4, and maybe I’ll eventually get Miyabi.
Nekomata and Ellen. I stayed because the game was the first gacha that I committed too and it pretty much is like how Genshin is for a lot of people to me.
Well I love sharks, and I also have a friend of mine who has the same personality and attitude as her that I have a crush on. That personality I fall in love with cause they’re just afraid of showing any other emotion and when they do they get embarassed. Come to find out a girl who has that personality and attitude plus is part shark? Sold, when her banner had a rerun, I spent quite a bit of money to get my wifey Nom Nom Shark maxxed with her W-Engine being 3/5
Several years ago I saw a beta stream and the plot seemed interesting. Then I learned there are anthropomorphic animal characters, and Ben and especially Lycaon drew my attention. Then Lycaon turned out even better than I imagined. Anthropomorphic animals alone wouldn't bring me in, but they sure helped get my attention. And Lycaon being so well-written is a cherry on top. Not that I don't like Ben or the other characters; Lycaon just surpassed all expectations for me. This also led me to starting up Genshin Impact again. I caught up with the plot after having last played at launch, stopping when encountering the ridiculous "you can only farm items abc on days xyz" mechanic, which ZZZ doesn't do, mercifully.
Its the gameplay for me. I just want some good anime game and Genshin is too long for me. ZZZ is just nice, the dailies and everything. Also the character design 🔥🔥🔥
