I agree tbh, I'm tentatively excited for Sumeru, but Inazuma, for all it's potential, was a big disappointment that made me wary of Nation-focused Archon quests. Dainsleif quests and especially this updates Archon Interlude (Aka: Xiao character quest act 2) showed some much better writing, so I'm way more into those than Nation chapters. Still, Mihoyo only flubbed 2/3 times, so maybe Sumeru will be a success! One can hope.
I don't get why they don't at least have a cutscene viewing mechanic in the archive, because some of these event quests are quite important for the characters! I mean, we learned Albedo's (pretty obvious to Albedo havers but maybe a surprise to non albedo havers) backstory in a limited event quest! That's a pretty big lore drop for most of the fandom over time to never see! I guess they expect new players to use youtube to see the quests?
I totally agree with you on the first part and have made my own rant in my other reply HAHAH-
A video viewing function would be great tbh. There are some 2D cutscenes i would love to review. I guess their rationale would be A) too much space used for stuff people would only watch once, and B) If they dont store the video in the game memory, at that point streaming on YT might be faster. The limited quest REALLY is annoying and I have the suspicion they're doing it to capitalise on FOMO. I have albedo and i can tell you his character profile says close to zero about his backstory compared to the bombshells his events have dropped. There's a reason he's the single character with the most voice lines in game HAHA.
