6.3's AQ is the first one I've done on day 1 since 1.1 (dumping my thoughts on the AQ) (spoilers obviously)
I've been keeping up with Genshin for the story without consuming it INSTANTLY on release since 1.1, kind of pacing patches out (or realizing at the last minute that I need to race through it before the next patch), and even missed all of Sumeru and Fontaine (I did them later, but missed all the timed content). After completing 6.2 I was so invested I started 6.3 as soon as I could, and WOW. I thought 6.2 was peak... 6.3 was outrageous. It's hard to even imagine where we go from here, but I loved it.
I'm so amped up now that even though it's midnight I immediately played some piano improv venting all of my feelings from the patch throughout.
I also noticed that >!there were multiple times where the subtitles in english referred to columbina as just that, or as columbina hyposelenia - but the moon sisters called her just "hyposelenia" (in the jp dub) multiple times. I'm still not entirely sure where hyposelenia came from, am I missing something? In 6.2 it felt like everyone realized at the end that the name they called her was the one that meant the most, and they all were like "she's columbina to me, isn't that enough"? but then when you tell her that, she just adds hyposelenia out of nowhere.!<
Anyways when I was consuming youtube shorts in 1.0 with lore theories about the 3 moons, and over the last 5 years as I wondered what happened to the moon sisters, I always imagined a lore dump of some long flashback cutscene. I never could have expected that columbina's growth as a character would loop back into the past , and her present journey would BECOME ancient lore. Absolutely brilliant, completely insane, wowowowow
Oh, and the side scroll of columbina revealing backstory for certain characters was insane. The rerir tholindis wrapup was amazing. The boat ride to the moon with columbina was so beautiful. every inch of this thing goodness gracious I could go on and on
Here's that piano if you're so inclined to check it out. if you listen, maybe it's obvious that the >!death of sandrone !<hit me REALLY hard.>!Columbina never even saw her alive with her own eyes... only her body.... I think if sandrone is revived I won't even feel like it's a cop out at all, if it's done well - I just want columbina to be happy... is that so crazy....!<

Heck, years ago, people used to think the fact that the moon seemed to pass in front of Celestia (before Celestia got its own model and was just a flat picture on the skybox) as evidence of the false sky.
There's video from a couple years ago. Moon is moving. :)
can't imagine trying to dodge any mention of the death of Sandrone, the moon maidens appearing, being on the moon, going inside our ship etc
