Haven’t clicked the link or even played Genshin but I believe the novelty is it’s:
1) a proper singleplayer JRPG style game,
2) in “App” format with gacha mechanic.
Previously 1) and 2) didn’t occur in a same title. If it’s an App, it would have extremely simplistic gameplay with gacha, or if it’s a JRPG, there were at most DLCs and certainly not gacha. But they just made it no longer the case.
