Take a look at the enemies guarding the chests. Though their latest additions have been impressive, there is one minor flaw that caught my attention. Plus, miHoYo’s degree of creativity has improved given the puzzles and activities we encountered in our island adventures as well as the storytelling. Their introductions have further enhanced the limitless possibilities of the game, where players can finally go beyond the usual borders of staying in one area for a lifetime. It may seem miHoYo may be running dry on ideas with the usual “attend a festival formula,” but with the introduction of the Golden Apple Archipelago and Inazuma, miHoYo are steering on a different path. Though this was the only World Quest so far that has a jaw-dropping and emotion-filled cutscene, we could expect miHoYo to apply this approach in the upcoming updates. It made me wonder if this was really a World Quest, since it had all the gripping narrative of an Archon Quest.

Plus, it had an emotional cutscene which brought more relevance to an NPC character that I have never seen before. If you watched the movies, you know where the story is going… but then miHoYo suddenly unveils a surprise trump card in the end. While diving deep into Kazari’s story, I personally expected a Sixth Sense or The Others-style ending.

It even brought us one of the best plot twists in the game. There was so much lore to explore with that quest. Given the lack of cutscenes in these side adventures, this can be overlooked, as players could be tempted to just skim past the dialogueīut with the 2.0 update, miHoYo was able to introduce a new feature in their World Quests.Ī perfect example would be Kazari’s story or the Sacred Sakura Cleansing quest, which, in my opinion, is the best World Quest in the game. But while there’s a great emphasis on the main quests, there seems to be a lack of interest in the World Quests - even if the majority of them have a profound lore that’s worth exploring.
