With Eula being gone for this long, I've had a lot of time to sit and think about Genshin's game design. In this video, we'll take a close look at how Hoyoverse uses FOMO, and how they've perfected the formula.

This is a long video, so I've broken it up into chapters:
Chapter 1: 500+ Days of Eula 00:00
Chapter 2: Time and Game Design 1:56
Chapter 3: The Gacha 6:50
Chapter 4: Gotta Collect 'Em All 13:30
Chapter 5: The Naganohara Incident 19:49
Chapter 6: The Spindrift Knight & The Greatest Sin 21:17
Chapter 7: Outro/Special Thanks 25:20

I do not own any of the source material, music, or news sources used in this video. I use and cite them to help illustrate my points and share my love of the game.
