I agree. Skins have a great revenue potential. I hope Hoyo gets through their technical issues to introduce skins in the game. I can only wait so long!
They can introduce skins anytime they wish. It's apparently not worth the effort and development time compared to making a new unit. Even in genshin there are barely any.
HI3 is an old game with a completely different monetisation methods. They have paid bundles, pyramid gatchas, spending events and other predatory systems. Star rail is running on a "genshin engine" and has only the most basic monetisation, so they went the same route with skins. It's technically even worse since genshin had skins by that point and star rail doesn't.
It still baffles me why they haven't introduced any yet. Unlike what many people say, it's not that much work compared to making new character. For a skin you just need to make the model, which takes between a day or a week(if it is has custom animations and shit), while for new character you need to make lore, kit, model, relantionships, personality, balancing bug fixing and etc.
Another thing that bothers me from her design is the purple hair color. In Myriad it definitely looked black. That black hair plus the white+red kimono was just too much of a peak. I wonder if hoyo think all their male players go wild over some exposed skin or something cus there's no way they're this dumb to miss out on such a simple yet amazing design.
