On this morning – January 5, version 2.4 of Genshin Impact was officially updated with many new missions and storylines. Thinking this was the only update from miHoYo, gamers received another surprising announcement from the creator of Genshin Impact. Specifically, miHoYo announced that it will launch a group “Casual Outfits” for the characters, starting with 4 female characters, Jean, Mona, Amber and Rosaria.
The group “Casual Outfits” has just been introduced by miHoYo
It is worth noting here that unlike the international version, Chinese gamers receive different notifications. Specifically, the “Daily Outfits” group mentioned above will replace the default skins of the 4 characters Jean, Mona, Amber and Rosaria. To compensate, miHoYo will give 1200 primeval stones to all gamers at the Chinese server. Meanwhile in the international server, the old default skins are still kept and you can change to it at any time.
Jean’s new outfit is very popular with gamers
Hearing this, you will feel that this message does not have too many problems with both Chinese and international servers. However, what makes Chinese gamers turn to miHoYo is that they don’t properly put the “Casual Outfits” team and the game. Instead, they edited Mona and Rosaria’s default skins to a version that was judged to be much worse. Even on the Hupu forum, the community called this “Genshin Impact’s darkest moment”.
The Chinese community calls this “Genshin Impact’s darkest moment”…
…when they see Rosaria’s outfit…
… and Mona was changed negligently and not according to the notice
Not stopping there, many gamers expressed concern that a series of characters in the future would also have their default costumes changed. The names that can be mentioned are Ganyu, Shenhe, Raiden Shogun… also have a high rate of costume change. Meanwhile, male characters like Venti, Xingqiu may also be changed in the future.
Many gamers worry that Ganyo in the future will have a “closed” outfit like this
Basically, this move of miHoYo is caused by the fact that the Chinese government is tightening regulations on character creation in games in this country. Of course, gamers also somewhat sympathize with miHoYo, but they need to design new skins more carefully in the future. If we continue to let the new skin design be too “lazy” as in the case of Mona and Rosaria mentioned above, many gamers will turn their backs on this game.
