some inazuma thoughts i have.. I just wanna ramble about it lol

overall I love it so far!! the new enemies are great, I like that they're stronger too. there's so many puzzles and sidequests that I can't even think about doing right now, but that's good imo, I haven't even finished the main quest yet since I've been exploring. I LOVE the colors and the new plants and rocks and trees.. it's all so pretty. and don't get me started on the music. sometimes I'll just stop and wait until a song is over before continuing to explore.

the electro sheer cold-like mechanic is really strong tho, I've used so much food already bc the electro things don't last very long... and the sound of it makes me want to rip off my ears 💀 also the mech boss and pyro cube are really cool, but what wasn't cool was maguu kenki being stronger than I remember 😭 I went to fight it so confidently without changing my team and bennett died hahaha. oh also the new artifacts domain is *chefs kiss* perfecttt. but yeah I love liyue the most still as of right now bc it "feels" better, but inazuma is just so cool and pretty. it just feels dangerous everywhere, which it's supposed to, so that's a good thing.

in terms of story or characters so far, I loooove the npcs. like, all of them everywhere 😂 I love xavier from that one side quest he was just rambling on and on about the furnace like I had any idea what he was saying, it was so funny. thoma.... don't really like him tbh, kinda gets on my nerves 😅 and ayaka is cute ig. I haven't continued the quest a lot so I can't wait to see yoimiya and yae miko, I'm most excited to see them. and also like, ok the traveler is trying to find info on their sibling right, but you can't just go and TALK to baal, like, why not help the people here?? like they're not the only person in this world. idk the travelers attitude was really annoying me 💀 i guess just bc I want to help everyone and I don't care about the sibling at all lmao

oh yeah about the other update stuff- I'm so so happy they fixed mona's sprint, I absolutely HATED using her before and I unbuilt her specifically bc I literally couldn't use her. I'm still probably not gonna use her anytime soon lol but at least I don't hate her anymore. all the update fixes have been really useful, except the artifact exchange LOL not worth it

but yeah good things overall! i had high hopes and its better than i thought. I just really like this world a lot and I can see how much damn work it is to make something like this, every little detail is so appreciated
