Now that Fontaine is out and the story line for Sumeru is done, I wanted to see what everyone thought on Sumeru. My sister and I were talking and noticed more negative opinions as of recent.
Overall I thought the story was mid. I was definitely tired of Nahida by 3.4. Mostly tired since it felt similar to Yae or Ayato whenever we see them. They are 5 steps ahead but for Nahida it felt more like she has a problem, you help her, she figures it out midway through quest but doesn’t say anything then mentions it at the end.
It would’ve been nice if they added the underground map feature earlier as well. I would be running in circles since I have a terrible sense of direction lol.
The last thing I’ve noticed is the issue with making characters one note. It was an issue in Inazuma but has gotten worse as of late.
Want to see what other people like and disliked with Sumeru
I didn’t really like Nahida as a character (love her gameplay though), and I’m still not a fan of child like characters. Her story quest was especially mid. The plot for when they broke her out what the highlight of the archon quest for me, that was really good. I really like exploring the catacombs of the desert.
My favorite part in all of Sumeru was Jeht’s story quest. It’s so tragic and we really get to know her and see her darkest moments. She develops really nicely as a character and the world quest had a lot of highlight and twist moments. The ending was especially emotional to me.
