I started playing it bcuz Genshin was a new project Mihoyo was working on. I played Honkai Impact 3rd on release date and I love it. So ofc Iād wanna play another game made by Hoyoverse, especially since it received more attention than Honkai ever did and pretty much everything else at the time. Also cuz I was sure it would be the game that put Hoyo on the map.

I honestly don't remember any more. I saw it was releasing that week, and got hyped because it looked fun. And right I was. Almost 3 years later now from that launch date, still playing, still grinding, still a Noelle main.

Started becuase my online friends trying this game out, ended up staying for the lore, exploration and the beloved characters.

Kaeya Alberich. That's what got me into the game, and then the exploration and his lore got me more hooked, but now I'm taking a peaceful break

I was watching youtube shorts until I came upon a Venti video. I fell in love and I started playing genshin because of him. Love at first sight fr

Technically both characters and gameplay, I absolutely love fantasy RPG type games and this one looked beautiful. Also I'm really kinda lonely, so I started so I could play with an online friend, who stopped playing when I started so RIP that. The REASON I actually started playing the game for real was because of Raiden Shogun and her banner.

It was a free anime esthetic open world rpg and I liked the vibe. I only knew it was gacha once I logged in and saw the banners. I stayed because the main story has some pretty interesting aspects, because of the characters and because of how dark the game gets when it's serious. I'm a sucker for dark fantasy worlds

Music. I found its music 1st and i got very curious where such beautiful compositions come from. Was *slightly shocked it was from a game (*only slightly because i thought that such music is usually in games but could also be in movies.) I was more surprised at the game itself ā the graphics, the designs of characters and the world, the gameplay, the platform ā so surprised it is from a game that is right up my alley. Tho when i started playing, i also assumed that i may lose interest in the game fast (like leaves it after about 3months) because that's how it's been with me and the games i had been playing ā i was already burned out of playing games at that time and had actually stopped playing any game for half a month already. So i thought i was just gonna end up "trying out" Genshin. Welp... 2+ yrs later, here we are. Im already AR60 but i still play the game. š

The characters, and also the fact that I really just wanted to try something new (playing Genshin Impact is also helping me get used to keyboard controls when playing games).

Was bored and burned out of my usual, binged watched hella isekai anime at the time and needed something free, isekai-like and a Breath of fresh air. Happened to meet the marks and i kept hearing about for 2 weeks before I caved in.

sort of a mix of all of these the first time i saw genshin was through an advertisement featuring qiqis character demo i wanted to download genshin right then and there, but i didnt have enough storage next i saw advertisements of the susbedo cutscene and shenhes demo which really made me want to get into genshin once more because those two ads left me on cliffhangers but of course i still had problems with storage and then i stumbled upon videos by creators i already follow that relate to genshin such as jianhao tan with the stupid little ayaka dance replication, emirichu with her kaeya obsession and also her getting ayaka, just sering glimpses of the game through peoples sponsors and then it clicked "what the fuck am i doing i can just clear old photos out and remove some storage" and thats how i started in a late period of 2.8!

I was into the story at first until one day i looked on side quests and saw a pink hair lady looked it up on the characters section and i found out she was named Yae Miko.At first i thought u unlock characters from side quest after u complete them.I then saved primos until her rerun now i have her and im back to the story again.Yae Miko is the character that motivated me to grind primos

It was a combination of both the character designs and genshin just blowing up on Youtube that had me intrigued Eng VAs and Diluc had me staying

I originally had no interest in playing Genshin. It was only after YouTube recommended the Teyvat Chapter Storyline Preview Trailer that I got curious enough to try it out and I've been hooked ever since. I like stories with a laid-out plot, which makes me confident they won't abandon the game halfway through.

What me got to genshin was a combination of curiosity and the fact that it was on ps4, my Handy wouldn't even have enough Gb for the 1.0 Version to that time. But what made me stay was a combination of all 4 of those.
