I know this is quite clickbait-y for a title, but I wanted to rant about the game and want to read other people’s rants, too.
For me, I don’t like Alhaitham’s voice. He sounds like a news anchor with how stoic and rigid he talks. I know it fits the character, but every time he talks, I just get taken out of the immersion because he sounds like a reporter and he’s about to narrate the next bits and scenes lol.
Honestly, I don’t like a lot of character’s voices. I played on mute for so long that I’ve built up what they sound like in my head, and then the VAs don’t sound anything like it. Xiao particularly.
Other than that… 95% of the women in this game are low-effort waifu bait. Like really, I’d pull for some of them if they bothered making them interesting. I was planning to pull for Kokomi… well, the Kokomi we thought she was before we met her.
I didn’t mind Kokomi during the Archon Quests, although I thought her story quest trying to build her up as a master strategist by… writing everything on a notebook… was lazy and corny. But when Sumeru’s finale came out and Alhaitham showed all that and more, I was so disappointed and I felt so bad for Kokomi. The “master strategist” she could’ve been was Alhaitham. I just wish someday in the future, they remake Inazuma Archon Quests and put it on the same level as Sumeru’s.
There’s probably someone out there that rewrote the Inazuma archon quest… If I trusted myself, I’d do it myself.
