Western game studios won't make anime girl games, it's very tragic 😔
Good excuse as any to bring up the fact that these are the same game... and the one on the right came first
The people I work with refuse to play even Genshin Impact, even though its marketshare is far greater than what they're currently copying poorly
Genshin Impact does so much shit to endear you to it. miHoYo understands on a fundamental level that FTP mechanics and fun gameplay are good and all, but having a STRONG focus on great characters and interesting stories will push a game over the edge! They figured out the secrets to making a game of that scale, with so many cooks in the kitchen, still maintain heart and passion and not feel like it's meticulously designed by a giant corporation trying to eek every last cent you own.
Do you know just how MASSIVE Genshin is? At the last San Japan I was at, you could not look in any direction without seeing a Genshin cosplayer. The closest I think I've seen an American game have that level of reach was Overwatch.
And DON'T GET ME STARTED on how much fanart and fanfiction and memes go a long way to promoting your games lol
