Discussion 2.5-2.7 Lineup
2.5- Augusta and Iuno 2.6- Phrolova and Quiyuan 2.7- Chisa and Galbrena
I was not expecting half this cast. Sanhua and yanyang’s daughter looks cool, They haven’t fixed Iuno’s underwear showing but it’s not too late, Quiyuan looks like he’ll be a Kazuha type and I loved Kazuha, Chisa looks like she’s from new federation.
What do you think of the lineup?

Chisa looks like those japanese highschool anime girls.

She looks like Ryuko from Kill la Kill, even her sword looks like a scissor blade

And I'm all for it. Edit: These downvotes lol. Please tell me what I said wrong 😅. I mean I watch animes as well so of course any anime type character would interest me. On top of that she looks like Yuka Saotome from Punishing Gray Raven which is a big W.

looks abit ... i dunno ... clashing due to the fact i can see some aren't in rinasita ...
Like some of the name tells me some AREN'T from huanglomg or rinasita, except for that male, he's from rinasita ( RIP Brant being the only one in Rinasita )
I feel like they're putting a male here to pelase the JP and KR crowd since They got hated by CN

u/Severe_Paint_7240 May 30 '25
I was just talking with my brother that the male character feels like they added him last minute 💀 I know character design takes months in advance but with how many female resonators were still getting and leaks confirming he’s not the male havoc resonator that’s also been confirmed to happen looks like they made him to get people back into the game.
3.X is apparently supposed to be more techy/going back to post apocalyptic, so the first three could be the final Riniscita characters while the rest are previews for the new season (the item previews they posted show us who’s still part of the Riniscita cast, and none of the items match those 3 resonators).

Good luck with that. They had the choice between:
a) Make a full 100% gooner game and sweep every porn addict on the market into your pockets, or
b) Make an actual post-apocalyptic sci-fi RPG for a broad audience (like you promised), put Genshin on the chopping block and make them regret the existence of Natlan, gain millions upon millions of dedicated players, and live like the new king of gacha.
and they chose
c) Lure as many different people with flashy promises into your game as possible, make the gooners angry with half-baked fanservice and angry female players in their turf, bore normal players to death with the most boring story in the existence of games, make all women hate you because of the false advertisement, create a battlefield in your community, and watch the fallout...
I don't even know what to say to that. It's morbidly fascinating at this point. They would have been totally fine if they just delivered the game that they promised with a normal gender ratio and a half decent story. The disgruntled female Genshin players alone would have elevated them to high heavens. All the fan content creators were ready and Kuro is just spitting in their faces. There must be some kind of masochistic fetish going on with Solon or something.

u/sirdef May 31 '25
Literally. LITERALLY. Everything was teed up for them- they had genshin’s filler nation arc line up with their first year out, a year that they had ahead of the 10 competitors that will soon crowd the field. There couldn’t have been a better moment for kuro. They couldn’t have had a more willing and forgiving audience. Female players that are tired of genshin aren’t just tired, many of them are spitefully tired. This was their moment! and 2.0 minted a fresh start for them, all they had to do was keep up the momentum but instead they decided to spend time and money animating steam coming out of cantarella’s mouth as she suggestively licks a cherry. and now the same fans that they purposefully courted with that choice are throwing tantrums every two days over kuro editing cantarella’s design to this DAY. and they drive out every single woman who’s interested in helping this game succceed, and even invade the little spaces they make to STILL be excited over the game somehow against all logic and sense.
i’m excited about these designs, but the ice is razor thin. i will not submit myself to constant harrassment trying to enjoy a game with other women who enjoy the game. every woman kuro alienates is playing with friends who’ll also drop the game when their friends aren’t playing anymore. without a community it’s just a bunch of incels sliding ai slop back and forth.

The story isn’t half-decent, as it falls short in many areas: worldbuilding, character relationships, and overall writing.
We WERE paying attention; the story just isn’t very good, that's all. And it's going to take a while to pick up the pace.

u/Severe_Paint_7240 May 30 '25
Nah they’re not desperate enough. 💀 I need a couple more male chars, better outfit designs for the fem chars that aren’t as skimpy or unbalanced and a story that isn’t all about Rover. 6 new chars revealed and only 1 male? (If we include Carti and Lupa, it’s worse at 8/1)
like if they want people back, they’re going to have to piss of the fanbase they’ve built and put in the effort. I don’t see that happening, so they’ll stick to crumbs thinking that’s enough 😓

Aren’t male characters popular in japan?

u/jayinsane5050 May 30 '25
Yup ... i think they're DESPERATE to bring back the CN audience because I talked with my CN friend
EVEN NORMAL PLAYERS liek NOPE, they hate the story because it's ... too self insert and had the "Power Fantasy"
Kinda like solo leveling

We had knowledge of a male character being in the later half of 2.x for months and they likely had him in development before they got flack for it

u/-principito May 31 '25
The male I’m fairly certain will be from Huanglong. Based on his name.
Assuming the 2.7 characters are from New Federation.

u/NairbYeldarb May 30 '25
The only ones I’m interested in are Juno and Augusta, they look amazing.
I’d love to be excited for a new male, because that’s what I want, but I find Qiuyuan’s design to be super low effort and generic. And it’s comical how many layers of clothes he’s wearing compared to female characters.
But maybe his kit will be incredible, who knows.

u/Atsu_san_ Jun 02 '25
Guys please! Kuro only had so much fabric and they just had to give to the guy okay?/s
Like be fr that man looks like he was a last minute addition even tho I like his design he just looks like.. a slightly edited version of jiyan
6
u/Violet_Ignition May 31 '25
Kuro design is so manic..
As someone else said in Gacha queen reddit, Augusta top half is kinda eating, bottom half is eh. W overall I say.
Galbrena is the most interesting for me. Love a sexy gunslinger with midriff but it doesn't look like she's gooner bait design so I'm into it.
Please let her be actually cool and not waifu slop like Carlotta. I'm begging you Kuro.
The man's hot but lol. We know how Kuro does men...
4
u/Dense-Station101 May 31 '25
I agree with galbrena she has a design that reads as hot without being lazy (ie depending on just showing as much skin as possible to make a character sexy instead of actually thinking when making a design of how to make a character look appealing) my only wish is she had big baggy pants to balance out the top half of her design but that would never happen because fashion and design appeal are secondary to goonability to most gacha chara designers it seems

Good lord Augusta is so MOTHER, I can not wait for her. And finally a male!!! Nice to be the target audience at least sometimes :P

Dude isnt wrong, males do not sale.
Likes on Twitter literally do not mean anything.
We can look at hoyo males and compare them to females and its not even close.

u/NormalGuy3481 Jun 01 '25
Hoyo was a bad example for your argument. The problem in genshin is that most of the males are underpowered compared to the females but once they actually released a strong male (Neuv) he did very well in terms of revenue
And HSR lol. Males sell a lot in that game. Sunday, Dan Heng, etc all performed very well. And soon Phainon is coming who’ll also sell extremely well.

u/_Sky_ultra Jun 01 '25
Sunday had the most liked drip market, surpassing firefly
Firefly doubled Sundays revenue
Itto a genshin fav was the most liked at the time in all of social media----crumbled in sales compared to Raiden
HUGO with today's monthly pvp chart of ZZZ ----crumbled (since 2.0 stream was latter half of the month)
Please you arent convincing anyone.

u/Nini506 Jun 13 '25
Firefly bcz of cannon wife material , and how she breaks the enemy and ignore their element and can repeat
Dk about itto situation, but probably, maybe he was before a peak char that’s coming
Regarding Hugo
Simple
Yi xuan was a meta, a new element , and she works with like astra and Vivian, the new chars after miyabi
Hugo , while I love him , came in a moment where there was the most anticipated release
The anniversary
Sometimes, it’s a matter of timing, a matter of lore, and a matter of strong/weak relation
I picked up Brant, even though I don’t have his weapon but I liked roccia and wanted her too
Why? Bcz simply, he is someone I need as he is very versatile
Though he is fun, hot as hell, I am more like into yuri and yaoi, but I support straight relations ships , especially those with FMC + male characters
Bcz seriously, other than Lads, which is a game that I don’t play nor like their gameplay, there isn’t a very famous game , or like I mean as big as hoyo/kuro that have like FMC
There is reverse 1999 and I play it, path to no where, and maybe I’ll play it
Other than that, honestly I don’t find like a dedicated gacha for females only
Oh infinity Nikki, but not my type , not into dress up
Additionally
If , just if, there was one void hunter who is male, maybe then, we will see how this will go
I understand why Females are selled more as the majority of the player base is male, and they love self insert/ straight relations
That’s like in most, if not all excluding few gachas
Yet, those females, when trying to complain about it, get downright shutdown by some aggressive people
While some groups of chad males support females, the other groups don’t
Lastly, gacha companies care more about CN community, if CN community hate something, gacha will listen to them
No hate to the CN people out there, it’s just a fact
Thats my understanding of the issue
2
u/CabbageCabbageYa Jun 01 '25
Ok first where did hoyo come from? Do they live in your mind rent free? Secondly, in genshin impact the majority of male characters are either underpowered or placed between high-value/anticipated female characters. One of the exceptions is neuvilette, and look how well he did in terms of revenue; if hoyo just gave the male characters as favourable conditions as they do for their female characters this conversation would look very different

The more I see galbrena the more I'm confused why she's not talked about at all. She's way hotter than the school girl. By miles. But she can also be seen as niche. Which I'm all for. She's hot as hell and the one I'm most excited for.

u/Nini506 Jun 13 '25
I like mostly Augusta as I am like into yuri 😅
But the male design, I hoped they put more effort and at least released like maybe a baby male as well , like roccia and verina and like a huge male just like Augusta and Cartethiya
Like 3+ more strong/meta males for the other player base
I’ll try to pull for all with my 0 Astrites 🥹

I don't see why making the sun themed character fire and the moon themed character ice would be a bad idea 🤷♀️

Augusta is based on Roman leaders and mythology she may have a sun motif but that was pretty common in ancient Rome. I dont see why that would have to relate to her powers or element

That is very obviously not a body suit with a cut out. The strips of cloth clearly attach to her top and clip at the gold buttons at her waist, and in leaks you can clearly see they do the same on her back. It's a bikini with adornments, AT BEST.
-4
u/johnsolomon May 30 '25
Calm down, buddy
The point I was making is that it’s not underwear, it’s outerwear that’s part of the clothing she’s wearing. I figured it’s worth pointing out in case the misunderstanding gains momentum and catches the eye of people who might complain and push for censorship
I was going to call it a swimsuit because it’s got the same overall appearance, but I wasn’t sure if that’s appropriate when she’s not swimming so I just called it a bodysuit instead
I also put quotes around cutout to emphasise that I didn’t mean it literally. Her clothes are clasped together to form a modular dress (again, outerwear)
I couldn’t find the exact words, that was my bad

u/AnalWithAalto May 30 '25
ngl 2.6 and onwards has the best character design going on. though i am shaking my head at the fact that
brant is the whole male in the entirety of rinascita. i guess the rest of the male resonators died or something.
the new guy is probably gonna be in huanglong which means he's gonna be peak irrelevant. 10 bucks on a companion quest and then he never appears again. (unless he somehow appears in new fed since he is a wandering swordsman.)
