Imagine if Genshin actually had dynamic cutscenes like that. Can understand why they might not ( taking up too much space, time, and maybe other things) but still would be nice.
I think they just need to add new gestures to characters involves in story quest. Doing the same gesture over and over makes the story bad and uninteresting.
If I'm not mistaken they have started doing proper lipsyncing for the different language dubs for some stuff like hangout quests. But yeah it won't ever be happening day one for new content
@@vorachotkositwiwat2583 Different languages have different approaches to expression and different inflections, so it’s hard to make body language universal depending on the delivery of the line, at least from my experience comparing different performances
@@DreamyAileen yep! Even older quests like the Liyue archon quest and Childe/Zhongli’s story quests now have lip sync even tho they originally didn’t. Hoyoverse now has a much bigger budget than they did when Genshin first released
Fan made one was way more immersive and cinematic. I loved it, however i do think more movement could have been added into yanfei's hair but i know animations are extremely time consuming so a great deal of effort has already been displayed here. i love it!!
This is exactly what Genshin needs to make the story more engaging for the players, littles things like more dynamic and closer angles, more quality animations and facial expressions really make a huge difference. Granted it would probably take way longer to produce and especially for multiple languages.
Most people turbo skip through dialogue anyway. It wouldn't make as big of a difference as some of you might believe it would. It'd be extra effort for what? The 5% of people who actually sit through every cutscene in full while everyone else just mashes skip ? Seems kind of wasteful.
@@justsomeguy727 I agree, it'd just be nice to have a few more animations to reuse bc personally I wouldn't skip if I didn't get bored of looking at the same thing, it's already well done and does catch my eye when it's really supposed to :]
@@justsomeguy727 I’m saying these would make the cutscenes a bit more engaging and lifelike instead of looking like robots moving. And come on, more than 5% don’t skip dialogue.
This shows how movements and camera angles go a long way in dialogues. For a game stuffed with conversations, Genshin has too few animations to reuse over and over. It gets jarring and take you out of the experience sometimes.
The famous 666 number, lol but aside that it truly is intensifying. However I do not know about my own storage, sure I have a 200 more space left but even then I wouldn’t even imagine once we reach to Snezhnaya. I’d prefer if it was fan made but to everyones opinion
When I first saw this scene, I imagined Itto going Super Saiyan, complete with sound effects and an altered hairstyle, and Yelan having a Stand appear behind her, plus those Japanese letters that translate to “Menacing”
@@smugsuphia7846 Tbh that would be fitting for Itto to be either a Jojo or a DBZ fan, or both of them. On the other hand, Stone Free would fit Yelan perfectly.
If fan animations like yours was incorporated into in game scenes like this, it would make the experience so much better but I do appreciate the cinematic cutscenes that they add in
If they added every dialogue to have very well Animated dialogue scenes. The size of genshin would be bigger than what it is right now. Refer to a game named Red dead redemption 2. A game animated to the grain of dirt to the sweat of the characters. Even non talkable npcs have more than 7 static animations. 150GB storage. For this game. Genshin has like 40gb+ I think? If they aniamted a lot of the story quest. Damn it be a bit around 90gb+ or more? Depends? Now what is the average genshin player. A phone user. The average phone user has like 128 gb storage. For now. None of them can fit genshin LOL.
I can see why they wouldn't do this for event cutscenes, but I wish that they would do at least this much for each of the scenes involved in permanent story quests, be they Archon Quests or the character-oriented story quests.
@@burnedchicken6644 should be an optional download imo like voice packs. If you want more animated scenes download and if you don't, then don't. They definitely have the budget to do it.
I think this quest actually is permanent though? Cuz I actually missed out on the event and was able to do it, it was actually kinda required of me to do it I think????
in some fan-made parts, this scene feels more real and has the right emotional expression on itto and yelan's face. However, there are some movements in the original version that are quite good.for example when in the yanfei scene at 1:36 minute when she holds her head.
@@tobinatorgames832 I was wondering where the heck she just spawned her book from. It would feel more real if she looked for her book instead of just spawning it in her hand. They reuse idle animation in a lot of scenes.
If people committed to making fan-made animations of events like Unreconciled Stars, Dragonspine, etc. It would really help new players getting into the game. They wouldn't feel like they missed out so much. The #1 reason people tell me for not playing Genshin Impact is that they missed these unique events, which were some of the most fun things in the game's history. This is very valuable and is also a great portfolio piece.
I’m sure they don’t do exciting animation since this is still a phone game that many people already can barely store on their phone. Glad that people like you can add life to the story tho
@@whwjsjhsj thats not a great idea because why would they spend millions upon millions making basically cutscenes for every dialogue in the game and then only make it an option. they have absolutely nothing to gain from that and having the game be 1 big cutscene and then cutting back to the normal game would be jarring.
Why would they spend millions on a cutscene that will barely last 3 mins? Doesn’t sound like a wise choice. If they want to make cutscenes like this, they might as well make an anime series
@@whwjsjhsj That's not how that works. Even if they did offer that option they still need to put all that animation data somewhere so you can access it without making them into seperate DLCs (ie. Your device storage) since the game's size is the same across all platforms. And even if they did turn them into a seperate downloadable content, the amount of budget is gonna be too much for something that doesn't profit them directly unless they decide to make them paid DLCs, in which case the amount of criticism and ridicule would be enough to make EA and Activision's greed look like a joke in comparison. And if they made another version of the game with more cinematic cutscenes seperate from the "normal" version of the game with live cutscenes.... that means they'll still have to spend more budget and manpower. I would rather not have them crunch their devs and animators into over time just to satisfy some people's pretentious demands.
they could always just make the better cutscenes PC/console only or perhaps only have phone users install what they need, only have the cutscenes for the next few story events (if they play too much they'll just need to quickly download the next few while uninstalling the older ones), I know that Genshin already has something so that users without much space can uninstall older story content once they've played it so something like this shouldn't be outside the realm of possibility
the problem is that the original is chinese so they can't really make a lip sync for many languages at ones although the body expressions can be which is why the fanmade is so much better
The limitation of hardware and time is the real culprit why this is not implemented in the game. It can be done with advanced software optimization and huge tinkering of the character animation but it really cost production time. Well even in some other AAA games, we can also find the case like this. They can do it, but in form of pre-rendered cutscene, and take quite of chunk storage space instead.
mmh exactly, people are complaining why we don't have cutscenes like this but it's a mobile game, which already takes up alot of space in itself just with the map
@@tohru-adachi-true-legit-real i agree, if it wasn't a mobile game in the first place... Don't get me wrong, i can see that mobile games make up most of the revenue than PC and console games, but still a lot people complained of lags, crashes, gameplay controls (i.e. aiming) and storage. Not just top up, you'll spend more money buying a new phone just to play Genshin
@@absolutelyunepic3072 Mobile makes up alot of their revenue, so they woulf obviously want to keep that for as long as possible. Yeah it sucks for console and pc players, but even then some pc players still have some of the mobile limitations with storage.
Itto is already immensely entertaining to watch and listen to, but the fan animation made him even better! This was AWESOME! (It even emphasized Yelan’s condescension that I didn’t really like to see/hear in the original scene-I just don’t like seeing people have attitudes when being patient and accommodating could probably actually solve the issue at hand). This was super well done! Love it! It would be so cool if you could animate other scenes that were meant to be more expressive; one that immediately comes to mind was the small birthday scene for Xinyan’s part of the summer event. Pleaseeee consider 🙏
I was on itto and shinobu's side. Not posting signs to highly restricted areas was often ways to change the rules on the fly. Feels more like a customary rules that the locals follow but outsiders would have no clue. its no wonder the Fatui got so far into the place.
Phenomenal work. Though it would unquestionably take a hell of a lot longer, genshin's storytelling would be immeasurably improved with smoother animation like this during cutscenes.
I love how the fan made was much more cinematic and detailed but I also really like the original, I think if Hoyo incorporates more animations like these I think more people would be interested in Genshin
Nope. People don't turbo mash skip through dialogues because of lack of animation. They do it cause they don't wanna sit through text walls. Making more animations doesn't suddenly eliminate the text walls that people are gonna skip through . You're basically saying they should put in more work for something most people are still gonna skip through anyway. That's just a waste of time and resources that could be put towards something actually meaningful that impacts everybody, instead of something that only impacts like 10% of players.
if genshin made cutscenes like these for regular dialogues, I wouldn’t be shocked if we had to wait even longer for sumeru. Animation takes so much time, effort, money. So I understand why they aren’t doing it now. Although, if the characters had a few new animations during dialogue other than the standard ones, it’d make it a lot more interesting. Sometimes it can seem a bit lifeless, and more like a lecture than anything.
THE DIFFERENCE IS HUGE. LIKE YOURS IS SO MUCH BETTER, when Itto was pissed you gave him that expression he was lacking, and everything is just better, thank you for this one
I know Hoyoverse can't always make cutscenes like these because of too much time and money but OMG this animation is so good, i could watch all these animations all the time on all every single cutscenes. The movements, lip syncs, facial expressions, textures, all perfect !!! Hoyoverse should hire you !
So… when is Hoyoverse going to hire you? Your version is literally 100% more better and cinematic than the left version. And if they ever do, $100/hour should be a fair pay :D
Great animation and love the camera work! Though hope people understand the cutscene in games aren't "video clip", those are done by moving models around manually and using existing emotes in game so ofcourse it's going to be inferior and "lifeless" compared to work of talented artists like you. Keep up the great work!!!
You added so much nuance just with a few head nods and camera angles! And even the bit where Shinobu takes her mask off to show a sense of urgency and sincerity was a really nice touch. Awesome work
Very rough animation, but it does bring up a good point. Mihoyo makes so much money now that they definitely have the resources to custom curate more cutscenes instead of using canned animations. Case in point, Final Fantasy XIV has been growing in popularity and the team added far more custom animations and expressions to cutscenes in Endwalker than they have for any other expansion thus far. This is due in part to optimization and them getting more and more used to dealing with the spaghetti code of their game engine, as well as receiving more resources to allocate. The cutscenes in Endwalker are consequently filled with more life than any Genshin cutscene, at this point.
I think that, while obviously I love your work and know that it's better, it's just unfortunate that we can't logistically have things ever be as high quality as this for most cutscenes. Hoyoverse is improving a bit and is taking some steps to make things transition better and have more dynamic camera angles, but my biggest gripe with them is that they don't have an idle stance/pose unique to each character for the sake of making them feel less awkward when standing around talking. Just using occasional mo-cap, some more subtle eye movement and expression, and a different/larger pool of idle animations would do some SERIOUS wonders for the production quality.
Do u want storage become bigger? Use brain if they animated this every damn dialogue is gonna take a long damn time Basically update gonna become even slower 🤦 The only way they can make character interaction a little bit better is by making them more emotion on the face, kinda like star rail
Maybe not animation all of cutscene each, but they really need to give characters some new basic animations and expressions. Because it's been 2 years and character still use like same 5 animations. And I don't know, why they don't use emotions and animations from "dates"?
YESSS this is amazing! I just finished this mission and the entire time the voice actors are acting their hearts out and the cut scene itself is just so... Rigid and motionless 🥲 even in the "poses"/"expressions" the characters can make when using the in-game camera are so wooden!
@@ZannirYT Honestly considering a work this good is done by just one guy than a multi billion dollar company is already impressive enough for me. You and Monolihita are the best fanmade content creators I know!
@@lily-qe9hj Don't be offended by what I said. I love Genshin. And I respect Hoyoverse's work, but sometimes I wish I could see more expressions in the characters, because I love them.
For real guys, HYV actually able to make high quality of animation in every dialogues of stories. But they didnt. Considering amount of time and effort to do, also the SIZE that players always complain, they consider about the efficientcy and only put the animation in crucial part of story. Thats why we only see "cut scene" at climax Thats why we all here to enjoy the effortfull animation of unanimated part of story in genshin As always, Thanks for your video(s)! because it's to good, ppl want you to be hired by HYV 😄
they just need to put more gestures to chara thats involves in story quest. Since they always rush players with time attack events and resin cap, their worker too are rushed to finish their work and deliver subpar quality. Thats what people call karma. Bet they didnt event get to enjoy their own game.
This is so amazing I have watched it a LOT. Stuff like this would seriously liven up genshins static conversations, thank you for such a beautiful work of art
Zannir, I'm sure about this: Genshin Impact in-game cutscenes will be very greater and wonderfully awesome if miHoYo hires you. I know the MMD animation system is different from the animation system miHoYo uses, but this comparison video just shows that the game could be very immersive, more than it already is now. I'm already one of your numerous fans, and to be honest, I'm watching your fan animation cutscene at least 5 times per day. I really admire you, your work and I hope I will be as talented as you are someday. Great job you've done. Keep going! You have all my support. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ and even more.
@@7secondhero842 I knew someone would say stuff like this. That's not what I meant. I know miHoYo did hire very competent guys in order to develop this kind of game. It's just that I really appreciate this fanmade work. It was just a means for me to show how impressed I am, that's all.
Darling. Imagine the size of the game if all cutscenes had that much detail... AND be compatible to mobile? Yeah. People's cellphones would truly burn. I'm happy that fans pick up the slack, but people criticizing the hard working animators of Mihoyo is really out of line
@@ianesgrecia8568 I agree with you, but I'm not criticizing anything or anybody. It's just that his work impressed me a lot and I really like it. That's all. It's true that if the game had detailed cutscenes, it would be an issue for some players and fans. You're right.😅
this is actually so good and refreshing, although you still got room to improve your way of animating the character's movements but the quality is so damn good, even the lips syncing to the voices is already good enough
there are too many emotions in the fan room. Yelan is a professional in his field, and this is emphasized by the in-game video. and in the Fan, she is too emotional and brazenly behaves. Itto in the game, despite the apparent bravado, is more restrained in the external manifestation of emotions than you might think, he has false emotions. With the camera, the same is not so smooth, in the fan more emphasis is placed on the characters with their obvious physical manifestations of emotions, while in the game this is not observed. Emotions in the game itself in physical manifestation are more noticeable among the inhabitants of Mornstadt, this is explained by the cultural characteristics and the inner maturity of the characters.
Oh wow, i had Just accepted the boring cutscenes on GI... Like there is some scenes they actually had interactions like your video, only a few... But you Just opened o whole New world to me, Thats so amazing!!! Love ALL your vídeos, specially the keqing 🥰
tbh this makes the cutscenes a lot cooler and not so static storage wise idk but it could be an option to download cinematic cutscenes or keep it the way it is
You makin me reconsider the quality of Genshin lmao. Now we know they can go even further beyond what they’re doing now. The devs should take note hehe
this is amazing! great work, i especially loved the expressions and gestures you added, they made this scene so cinematic! Love it, thanks for your work
urs defo have much more life than genshin’s in-game one 💯 itd be really nice if they make more animations like this altho it’ll prolly take more storage/data or so
I’m really surprised stuff like this isn’t a more popular thing. Obviously it’s totally understandable that the developers don’t have the time to animate every single interaction by hand with unique poses. But the potential has always been there. Thank you for bringing this beauty into existence. Also, excellent choice on this scene in particular. You really made sure to pick a moment with a lot of personality to work with. I love this.
