Hi Jonathan, and hi to Sean! I am an active gaming podcast seeker and recently found you guys' engaging and insightful work. As someone who's most familiar with Hoyoverse's games, I would like to check in with you guys on what are your thoughts on their newer games after Genshin, namely Honkai: Star Rail and Zenless Zone Zero. Star Rail has received a lot of praise for its newest 2.X storylines, and the Miyuki Sawashiro character, like in Genshin, did not appear in the story until 2.0 and shined in this storyline too. It's quite unexpected that since its launch Star Rail can match Genshin in terms of earnings with a much smaller player time investments as a turn-based JRPG game. I was listening to one of the older episodes where you guys raised some of your suggestions to improve Genshin, and smiled as these are features implemented in Star Rail when it was launched in 2023, like timed event content becoming a part of the game forever as side quests, and visual novel like story reviews. Then they will roll out a new game with more of a Souls or actiony inspired combat and Persona inspired art-style in Zenless Zone Zero in probably July this year. Will you guys check these out? Thanks for all the great podcasting and best of luck!
