     @Vidmastereon @Meemoo Probably because it would be a blow to Hoyo's image so they keep it around as a trash game to test new idea's in and train new staff.
     
     You can tell it's practically on maintenance mode already. The cool animated story endings have been replaced by shitty in engine cutscenes. no more spoken birthday mails, the engine update they promised never happened, etc, etc.

     remember the Promare collab and how their artists said the flame effect was hard to animate?
     they used it in Natlan for the archon and the sacred flame all over the main city . :pog_stare:

     @Suzu @Meemoo @Vidmastereon Their real passion project is Hokai 2 if you ask me.
     It barely makes any money but somehow keeps getting collabs like Senran Kagura, Neptunia, Meguka, Prisma Illya, etc.

     @Tamamo @Vidmastereon @Meemoo and to think this used to be Mihoyo's "passion project¨. It seems money speaks louder than passion to the chinks.

     @Suzu @Meemoo @Vidmastereon No Houkai 2.
     Better known as Gun Girls Z in the west. It's EOS'd in the west but is still running and receiving collabs to this day in China.

     @Tamamo @Meemoo @Vidmastereon do you mean Honkai Star Rail? I haven't followed that game at all, so I have no idea.
     
     But I remember at the beginning, when there was only HI3rd and Genshin, it was pretty obvious that they cared about HI3rd while Genshin was just used to milk whales for all they are worth.
     
     But over time this changed, and probably Mihoyo's management must have decided to focus on Genshin while leaving HI3rd to basically die. Maybe that's why they made Star Rail, and that's why it looks like it's being treated better.

     @Meemoo @Vidmastereon They recycled the effect it for lantern's hair as well. They seem really proud of it for some reason. Then again HI3 runs on an ancient version of unity so maybe that why it was hard to animate.

     You started to notice the direction changed after genshin took off. Instead of giving old characters new battlesuits like they did, they suddenly kept releasing new characters noone gave a fuck about. Also the pace of banners became insane.
     Normally you'd get one Hersher per year and suddenly they released 4 in 1 year causing burnout in allot of players. Couple that with the shit writing of the final chapter, bullshit retcons and shitcanning the entire old cast and even fucking self inserts to "genshinfy" HI3 its no wonder the game died.
     
     Hell Houkai 2 even had an uptick in players after HI3 part 2 because people wanted the old characters and did not give a rats ass about the v-tuber rejects from part 2.

     @Tamamo @Vidmastereon they also used the same splash animation and font for the pilgrimage fights intro in Natlan.
     Seems like that whole thing was a prototype for Genshit.
     Who knows what else they are experimenting with for use in that game.
     
     Part 2 was probably their latest fad testing if people would be fine with a new cast at the expense of their legacy players :angery:

     @Meemoo @Vidmastereon I honestly have to idea what the fuck happened with part 2. I suspect some internal politics drama and the bean counters wanting to go all on genshit.
     
     The thing is that honkai was the only game that gave old characters new battlesuits while in genshin they just keep shitting out new characters making them feel very disposable compared to honkai's cast.
     
     Also remember that tech demo with Ai-chan to tease part two? It looked amazing.
     We got NOTHING in that even looked remotely like that tech demo. It still uses the same ourdated engine that somehow chokes the live out of a 3090 with graphics while the game looks like it belongs on a PS2.
     There's also the honkai documentary they promised us that they probably shitcanned due to the poor reception of part 2. The chinks love trolling homoverse by reminding of that promised documentary on every stream.

     @Vidmastereon @Meemoo Elysia dev went to Starrail to write penacony. Honkai's animation team went to ZZZ.
     
     Its rumoured fagchuan, the god awful writer responsible for some of the absolute worst fucking chapters in the game will fuck off to starrail as well.
     That guy must connections to the chinese triads or some shit that he's still working there. Every honkai player hates his fucking guts with a passion of a 1000 suns.

     I bet they would love to somehow revive Elysia but they know the pink elf cult will torch their offices for real.
     Though they might get away with it as an expy in Starrail.

     @Meemoo @Vidmastereon Nope. APHO still makes your GPU sound like a vacuum cleaner and the part 2 open world garbage looks dated as fuck compared to genshin/SR/ZZZ so its obviously the old engine. It looks NOTHING like the ai-chan tech demo.

     @Meemoo @Vidmastereon The station looks kinda nice but once you're out on mars it has that same flat shading and low poly look as the old open worlds.
     
     The fact that genshin, zzz and even WuWa runs better on my phone than Honkai is proof enough its the old shitty engine.
     
     My guess is that Honkai is complete spaghetti under the hood and porting it to a new engine would probably involve rebuilding the game from scratch. Maybe that was the original plan for part 2. We'll never know unless a disgruntled chink in miho spills the beans.

     @Meemoo @Vidmastereon At least they haven't fucked up the new Terri battlesuit. It's really cute. Though its not the 'real' Terri so they still can't be trusted.
     
     I'm wondering what banners they'll be releasing next now that they ran out of mars slob characters and the story is finally in the APHO timeline.
     Will they continue to shit out new characters noone gives a fuck about or actually give people what they want like finally releasing goddamn APHO Mei.
     
     Oh yeah it turned out Kiana is a coma or something during APHO 1 and 2.

     @Meemoo @Vidmastereon Same dude. When i saw APHO Mei and Bronya i had hope for the story but they can shove it up their ass with muh simulation.
     
     I guess their banking on Vita as she seems popular among the ones still playing this shit for some reason. I still think she's a shit villain.
     
     New terri suit's gameplay looks fucking terrible too. How the did we go from Twilight Paladin to this shit. She doesn't even use her iconic cross.
     It feels like a fuck you from the devs. "Here's your part 1 character. Btw we turned her into a meme battlesuit."
