At first I thought it was a MMORPG, so I was excited. After I found out it wasn't, I lost interest in the game.

The game got so popular. What is the appeal?
I like dub more than sub because I am not a weeb.

Open World, Waifus, Colorful, and most of all: Free to play.

Because it's a fun game, despite all the gacha element. It has such very good battling system. The characters are so fun to use also....

The story seems good, and people are into it, but I don't think it's the strongest aspect of it.

Gacha can also be addicting to some. It's hard to let go of such a game if you got into it. I have been playing it since release, and I am still at it~

Everything mentioned above.
+ the fact that you can see Genshin ads frequently on social media such as YouTube. Who could resist on having more waifu or husbando?

It has proper gameplay and girls even though personaly I found it boring and I have some gripes with the character designs so I gave up on it.

Free to play open world. With interesting characters to get.
For me it was cause finally some Chinese VA, and finally a Chinese game on console.
Considering how the Dong Hua scene has improved, I wanted to experience how Chinese games have improved aswell.

Also I would say is the effort and continued lore and fan support, like fan songs sung by actual voice actors for China that adds to the enjoyment.
Plus there isn't anything as good for free out there.

Have you SEEN Ganyu's design? She's freaking gorgeous.

Beyond that, the game's quite beautiful, would be solid if they can get a handle on their security problem, and Mihoyo's got alot of goodwill from Honkai players checking it out while Genshin players do the reverse and look at Honkai after noticing connections.

Also helps that even tho its a gacha, you can still do things even when the ap meter all gacha have runs out because there's a whole world to walk around in

Because it's probably one of the best gacha games right now that isn't a rehashed 2D side view game, and has a cool world, characters and nice gameplay.

You can play Genshin 100% without paying though, a popular YT'er has cleared some of the toughest content in the game with only free characters.

I played it for like 2-3 hours and I have to admit, it was pretty fun and I can see the general appeal. The gameplay was pretty fluid, the art was good, and the combat and looting was addictive. I think it hit the right niche at the right time basically. Though, at the end of the day, it really isn't for everybody, me included.

Alsosince no one mentioned.

THE MUSIC!!!!!

The soundtrack in this game is freaking amazing for a free to play game. Was already surprised with with the Mondstadht theme, but once you enter Liyue, man does it kick it up. So many great tracks for Liyue that really makes the atmosphere.
