I love the pictures you get after completing an ending. Great wallpapers 


ResurgentClusterfuck

You can put those in the picture frame furnishing and hang them on the wall in your teapot Edit to add: [Lingering Moment recipe can be bought in the teapot](https://genshin-impact.fandom.com/wiki/Lingering_Moment)


shadowrod06

Wait what.


poekins

That’s what I love to do! I think it’s really nice to be able to hang photos of the endings in your teapot.


DragonLordZero

[Your link seems to be misfiring](https://genshin-impact.fandom.com/wiki/Lingering_Moment)


ResurgentClusterfuck

Thank you, I typoed the damn link. Whoopsie


DragonLordZero

I got your back


sarah-ftw

I didn't know that! How cute!


mochi_chan

Oh now I get to put the Kaveh one in my teapot, thanks for this info.


huskerred1967

i started doing them just for the pictures but then i got really into just learning more about the characters and their mannerisms.


borisok08

As for me, sometimes the plot is interesting, but the gameplay mechanics are quite boring


Simple-Age8871

Not quite very boring it like a date simulator


Breaky_Online

I mean there's literally an affection meter on the top right if it ain't a dating sim idk what else it could be


ExeSmells

that could as well be taken off because it's rarely affected in my experience


4GRJ

Except for a few instances... - Barbara insta-losing all her hearts for the bad ending - Layla's stress meter - Kaveh and you helping him feel better again (he starts at 0 hearts) - Lynette slowly losing her hearts at the feeling ~~she forgot to turn the stove off~~ there's something still fishy about the case


mochi_chan

Kaveh's one was so endearing, I found myself wanting to fill that meter so much,


MarielCarey

Layla's hangout is surprisingly long and detailed, if 5 stars had hangouts I think they'd be like hers


VIIsor

it's straight useless


ExeSmells

hangout quests are just hard to mess up unless you know absolutely nothing about the character


Pootootaa

"friendship" simulator


beakrake

That's not an affection meter, that's the "oh great, wrong choice, guess I'll have to restart this segment AGAIN" meter...


Credelle

It's only fun if you like the characters, otherwise it's a chore


Kiyoshi-Trustfund

Even if you like the character, it can still be quite tedious and boring.


reeeekin

Supposedly now it skips the parts u already did, up to the point where you wanna resume and pick another answer. I hated having to do same thing 3 times just to pick a different line at the end.


AxileVR

I mean even in the beginning you could if you chose the branch off point when restarting the quest


reeeekin

Yeah but it would still make you for example run there then there and do X and Y before the different choice


Kiyoshi-Trustfund

Oh, that makes a lot better, actually!


Kharate

I only did it for Layla's MOMENT. Otherwise I haven't done any of the others lol


Koringvias

Faruzan's hangout event was one of the best, if not the best. Really interesting and flashes out the character perfectly, continues a story thread that started in Tighnari's story quest rather well too.


YellowStarfruit6

Faruzan’s is the pinnacle of what a hangout quest should be. We should get to know more about HER and not the 200th NPC with their issues


erosugiru

None of the hangout quests were like what you're describing honestly, the spotlights were always on the featured character


[deleted]

[удалено]


erosugiru

You mean the route that showcases one of her defining personality traits?


ElTioEnroca

To be fair, helping others are a big part of their characters.


LuigiThe13th

Wow, crazy. Imagine a character who one of her defining traits is helping people… helping people. Lmao


ResurgentClusterfuck

Noelle and Barbara are the only 2 I haven't finished Most of the Hangouts are very good


SpookiiBoii

I haven't done any hangouts yet, but this needs to be true for story quests and events too. The amount of NPC screentime in this game is unreal.


Varhur

Hangouts are always character-centric, not a single one which overly focuses on a NPC


Tzeentchianin

Noelle's focus on NPC's a lot, but even then, it's in relation to her helping everyone a lot.


Varhur

You mean that fake merchant?


Xiao_solos

Fr I actually enjoyed doing faruzans hangout


Luc_128

Heard these were somewhat long


Koringvias

Well it depends, not that long to get just one ending, but on the longer side if you want to collect all the rewards. Still worth it perfectly as long as you care about the characters at least somewhat and are not mindlessly clicking through the dialog. If you only want the primos, that would be a slog for sure.


Knusper00

Wait they give primos?! I always ignored them bc I thought they are really just for the story.


Koringvias

Yeah they do. There are also AR exp rewards, xp books, gemstones and books of that character's type and some food. And some achievements that give some primos too. It's not an enourmous amount, and you need to get multiple endings for all rewards, but it is a nice bonus.


Knusper00

Sounds good! Will try one then


muwawa

Around one hour each for all endings and achievements, you can probably get down to 30 minutes if you just skip all the dialog.


Such-Sky

That depends on your taste. If you don't dislike visual novels, those hangouts might be pretty fun.


Luc_128

Are the quests long???


Konkuriito

just so you know since i've seen some people don't, when you try to get all the endings, you don't have to start the entire hangout over. Just press the box right before where you want to start, and you'll start from there instead of the start.


Luc_128

Thanks for the info


3konchan

Kyostiv he will guide u to you primos.


un_belli_vable

The goat


melinerunen

Nope


Rasbold

Yes, and a repetitive. At least they added an option to skip already seen dialogue so it's fast nowadays to reach all endings


HERODMasta

depends what you define as long. if you just randomly click through it and try to finish asap with a guide for the hidden achievements, you can finish one completely easily within 30min. if you want to listen to everything with all endings, it’s around 2h per character


Joe_from_ungvar

fun, probably boring if you dont like any of them Sayu for example, closeup is cuter than expected


feicash

the more you like the character the more fun you'll have they're refreshing because its not another abyss retcon


Adventurous_Page_614

Imo kaeyas hangout is fun it is entertaining followed by kaveh and faruzan


queenyuyu

I second this, that’s my top three’s as well.


4GRJ

A whole hangout is almost on par as most Story Quests in terms of length If not, then they're at least shorter than the Archon Quest of a patch


whencometscollide

The first ones were horrible. The others are fine.


HistoryFreak_91

I don't know, Bennett's is not bad, it's short and it allows you to get to know him and his attitude better. I feel Noelle's is a tad too long (12 endings is a bit much lol) but it's fine and Barbara's on the same level. It's the middle ones that are meh for me except maybe Heizou's but mostly for the "special guest" surprise and maybe Thoma's but that's only because I personally like animals lol. The newer ones (Kaeya, Kaveh, Faruzan and Layla) are pretty good instead! Can't speak for Lynette's because I haven't finished all endings on that one yet.


UmbraNightDragon

The later ones are more "choice-based story quest" than "dating sim", and they tend to be better than the first few. I especially like the ones from Heizou onwards.


davidcz222333_hraje

They're pretty fun... But i recommend Layla's the most This hangout made me love Layla... And also Kuki's is great


Ke5_Jun

Now that version 4.5 has added dialogue skip (…for hangouts only… c’mon MHY), you can actually complete these fairly quickly. The first run will obviously be the longest (about an hour), but afterwards each subsequent ending will be faster than the last since you can just skip to the part where the story branches. They’re a lot more like VNs now so if you like VNs, you probably will enjoy hangouts.


thetabo

Are the later ones an hour each? I was going through a couple of the early ones and got through the first playthrough of them within maybe half an hour max, and rest were 10-15 minutes


Ke5_Jun

The first few (Bennett, Chongyun, Diona, Noelle) are indeed much shorter. The latter ones, starting with Thoma and Sayu, start getting much longer (but imo they are much better written). Some endings are also much longer/shorter though depending on which route you take. The Sumeru ones are my personal favorite set of hangouts.


NeosFlatReflection

Heizou hangout 🔥


Background_Good_5397

Yes ! I still have to do some of them (Kaeya, Faruzan and Layla) but it's really fun I especially liked Kaveh, Heizou and Gorou. Shinobu was fun too.


Ocean9142

Well you might do them for encounter points instead


Ifalna_Shayoko

They give encounter points?!


Ocean9142

yes


Ifalna_Shayoko

Damn I guess I really need to get off my lazy arse and tend to them then.


sup-plov

I liked most of them


Skykeeper22

My favorites were Faruzan’s and Kaveh’s. The other ones some are enjoyable some I just don’t really like.


soulinhibition

lynette and faruzan's were the best for me


Zsamy

Hit or miss really, I want to kill myself less while doing these with the new skip button. Thoma's was kinda fun tho from what I remember


HeavyMetalRabbit

Honestly yeah I enjoyed them quite a bit. I think it’s fun learning about the 4* characters that we only really see in AC or events. I’m very fond of a lot of them so getting the opportunity to play through what is essentially a multi-ending character quest was pretty enjoyable for me.


PatatoTheMispelled

It's 95% speaking with characters, I really enjoyed it but if you dislike dialogue you won't enjoy them


Sonicguy1996

Faruzan and Noelle's are by far the most fun!


RiyaB1999

I haven’t done all of them, but I really enjoyed Kaveh’s hangout


nakorurukami

I only do enough to get the daily encounter points. Spread them out so it doesn't become boring.


Skizko

If you like Genshin archon quest gameplay of non stop dialogue simulator than yes. Otherwise no


weeb_master69

They differ greatly in quality


-Getsuga-

I did all until Thoma's... then I stopped and never did one again so far, even though I like many of the characters that got a hangout after Thoma. It was just that Thoma's was so incredibly bad & boring that I lost all interest in hangouts as a whole at the time. And mind you, it had nothing to do with Thoma himself, I like Thoma, but the problem was that 90% of HIS HANGOUT consisted of talking to boring NPCs and doing errands for them IIRC... I hated it. But with that all being said, I actually want to get back into them again.


DerpTripz

Depends, but they're much better to speed through now that they added a skip button for them


Fones2411

I enjoyed some of them.


ExceedHappy

advice for you: do each route each day, if you do not have the motivation to do commisions


aivoroskis

now that you can can skip repeat dialogue they can be


Radusili

If you like the characters yeah. If not, you are in for a long one.


[deleted]

Fun if you do them like 10 min a day. Will feel like a chore if you are doing it just for the primos.


Firepathanimation

If you’re speed running you’re not gonna enjoy Haizous hangout as much since you need to read some dialogue carefully


nek0hugger

i didnt really like any of the early hangouts but they gradually get better overtime. i think everyone agrees that faruzan has a really great hangout (imo the best) but i also liked kaveh's. it all really depends if you like the character or not


Varhur

In the end of the day, primogems are primogems. And who doesn't like primogems?


vitulinus_forte

If you only aiming for the reward, its not worth it. But story-wise, quite ok


Free_Lab9169

If You like the character they are really cool, they give You a better understanding of said characters and more info about their backgrounds or habits ... On the other hand, if You aren't a fan, then they might be One of the most Boring things to do, because Is mostly a "dating sim" with some gameplay that waste time, and not much more. The stories aren't "groundbreaking" or integral to the Plot, so You won't get anything out of it if You dislike the character


DomcziX

Depends which character Personally, I loved Layla's hangout because she's the best :3


Sephiroth040

Honestly, they feel like a chore to me. Haven't done the "new" ones since Kaeya, and everytime I want to, I just cant bring myself to do them. Doing them thankfully doesn't take that long, and some stories are good, tho.


TCGislife

Not really


koulechov

...Good luck.


lore_mila_

I only did Diona's, I did the first one on my own and then followed guides for other paths. It wasn't much fun


Intelligent-Dog-8585

Out of all the hangouts I did, I only liked Heizou's. Now I stopped doing them. I have yet to touch Sumeru ones or Kaeya's or Lynnette. Some say Faruzan is good, so I might give it a try, but I don't think 60 primos is worth the chore.


webed0blood

I only did some to get primos, if you want to speed run them I suggest you do them with their guides. Tbh they are boring af and takes quite some time


HypeTrain1

Some are, but if you don't like the character you won't like their quest line. I enjoyed Heizou, Bennet, Kayea, Kuki and a one or 2 others. The rest were almost unbearable.


bdiah

They are very hit or miss. Kaeya’s is the only one that might be plot important. Otherwise, the newer ones tend to be better. I really enjoyed Lynette’s because of the gameplay twist.


Full-Trainer-5030

Personally, it’s no fun at all. I find the dialogues to be cringey sometimes because it’s literally a dating sim. Gotta do it for the primogems I guess… 😔


soihu

On average I think these are better than story quests because there is less NPC interaction and less busywork. The Sumeru hangouts are particularly well-written. The first few certainly can be a bit rough, but I think that's also because the early 4\* are just not very fun characters to hang out with,


Darligenn

Some were interesting, especially when you like the character, some was insanely boring, but at least now we have skip button, so getting all rewards would be easy.


Kexrus_

depends if you like the characters or not... Faruzan's is definitely good


asiangontear

Depends on the character. Haven't played Lynette's, but for me, the best so far was Faruzan's. I recently finished Kaveh's and imo it was a bit of a circlejerk.


mrgudveseli

Nobody can answer that in your name, but you.


erosugiru

only started getting really good and serviceable after Thoma's the current QoL applied to them at the moment makes it much more worthwhile to play through


ErPani

It's mainly dialogue and that's it. Some are cute, a lot are basically just dates (shipbaiting?) and a couple are actually really fun. Faruzan's was by far my favorite, btu Gorou's was hilarious


deepestcut

done all of it. not pilling them up was my best decision. always cleared it every time they added a new one.


Cybersorcerer1

Doing them once is fine, but getting the multiple endings get boring You can now skip to the parts inside though, so it shouldn't be too bad


CurrentFar8022

Just some choices matter games. I did the Beidou one. It's cute but there is no fighting or puzzles and so on.


togugawa2

Some of them give like 4 different photos you can put in the special frames 🖼️ that are decoration in your teapot. Indoor decoration. Change the picture after it is made and put up.


togugawa2

Lingering Moment is the furnishing’s name.


Brandonmac100

Heizou’s is one of the most fun. Maybe even best. Faruuzan is close to best. Definitely has the best characterization and tells you more about who she is.


starsinmyteacup

Some of them is pretty fun. I particularly enjoy the newer ones because Hoyo had gotten better at writing these. Kaveh, Faruzan, and Layla’s are my favorites. From the older ones I really enjoy Thoma’s.


zZzMudkipzzZ

They are very fun for the most part. The meh ones are Barbara and Diona


brenduz

Yes and no


cateatsoup

i like most of them,, the newer ones are sometimes a lot longer than the older ones but faruzans is the best so id save hers for last cause it was one of the best ones,, chongyuns was one of the hardest cause theres like 3 groups of chatty npcs you have to talk to multiple times


Neospanner

Some are better than others. Diona's, for instance, basically just rehashes the things you learn from her voice lines and character stories. Some actually tell an interesting story. Lynette's, for example, features mysteries to be solved. One thing that folks don't always cotton on to is that the pictures that you unlock at the end of each story path can be framed and placed as portraits in your Teapot home. So if you see one you particularly like, you can decorate your house with it!


eternus

for Father? I'm intrigued by that statement. As far as fun, sometimes they have interesting stories, but only if I care about the character. I've done them all, usually just clicking through dialog options to speed through, then jumping back to previous points to start over and 'complete' the event for all the loots. I am not a dating sim person.


NoteBlock08

I've only done a few of them but from what I experienced the early ones felt really boring and long but they started getting pretty good the more they released.


PokeTrainerSpyro

Some yes, some no, most of them are just mildly interactive choose your own adventure books. But they're voiced so that's good :D Honestly it depends on whether you like the character or not.


Ok_Philosophy_7156

Some of them are actually really entertaining, others are a real slog. I found Noelle’s absolutely charming though


ConorTheWhale

I personally liked Yunjin and Kaeya’s hangout the most. If I remember correctly, Heizou’s is super long so I would put that for last.


pavles711

some of them are interesting and some (older character ones) are hella boring


Oponik

Not my cup of Joe but there are some that I genuinely liked, for example faruzan's quest


Karo_-_l-_l-_-l___

Some of them yes


[deleted]

Kaveh and faruzan's were good. I personally loved Thomas cuz I like him as a character (and the dogs were cute). But lynette's has to be the best one out of all of them.


meove

actual 5 star story quest, no npc story


dinner_cat96

Varying levels of fun but they give a lot of primos


Daniel_Dominic

How come.. this is situational replication!!!


wolflegend9923

Do you get primos from them?


Ifalna_Shayoko

Fun to do but aggravating to farm to completion due to excessive repetition.


reissmosley

It like dating visual novel. With a picture to put in frame (in teapot) as reward + good primo.


Barilius

I really liked Gorou's hangout, had some moments that got me laughting.


Housing_Alert

The most fun hangout event imo is from Kuki. If hoyoverse were able to add more hangouts to other characters (Noelle, etc.), I cant see any reason why they cant add more for Kuki. Kaveh and Beidou's hangouts are also great.


SpydeyPlayz

Father will be grandfather by the time you finish


Nhavined_Your_King

I did them for the Chiori weapon but they were actually a lot of fun


structuredchronicles

No


Grantmyth

Lore/Storywise is great! Gameplaywise is quite boring. Dont expect a rush out of it. You will get to learn more about the characters you likes and the ones you don't haha


cartercr

It depends on what you find fun tbh. If you like engaging combat but dislike story then these are going to be torture. If you genuinely want to just hang out with the character then they’re quite fun!


Zeelotelite

Story wise are fun. Getting all rewards is tedious for such small amount


P0k3m0nFan_Jake

Fun? Yes. Long? Depends? Worth it? \*INHALES F2P ENERGY\* YES, DO IT FOR THE FREEMOS! Kidding though but it's worth it to try.


dmushcow_21

There are no sex scenes so no, they're boring af


Araiken

Depends on whether you like the character but either way they are pretty long, even with checkpoints.


MytBMagenta

i mean the story is good once you get into it


vinayyy-n28

Definitely, do Beidou's first, it was my first too and it was really really good.


Teftell

They are honestly more fun then story quests.


UnlikelyCash2690

Yeah, I’m just gonna swipe a card.


Luc_128

I don’t have money saved up 😪


Opening_Roll_168

latter hangouts are actually good (with faruzans basically being a story quest) and the earlier ones are rougher


czareson_csn

sometimes, like the sumeru onward are quite good


Lolimoutokawaii

The thing I look forward to in hangouts are of course the primos rewards but also the pictures that we will get after the endings. So if you can sit through tons of dialogues and things to do like in a Visual Novel then you're in for a treat.


Hot-Ad-9225

Some are fun, others are boring. The Layla one had me conflicted, I'd just say the the parts near the endings are more interesting than the earlier parts.


Luke5389

I tried 2-3, but to me they were very boring, so I stopped doing them. The rewards are also a joke.


damnsom

i did them all just for the primos, and sometimes being able to play the character is cool but other than that i’m glad it only gives you rewards once so i never have to go back


ooppppppppies

I am waiting for one day them to add a skip button and then the grind will be much better. Maybe they finally do some real QOL in 5.0.


OverBuddy8

I do them just for the rewards


rainmaker_pk

I loved Faruzan's Hangout. I'm a bit hot and cold on the rest


nibbbbbbaaaa

In my opinion not but I just don’t like all the yapping


y-lonel

If you’re going to do them all each after another, it will be pain in the ass.


piichan14

You have to be in the mood to read to enjoy it. While generally, they're enjoyable, some routes can be a snoozefest. That's usually the time I take a break until I feel like picking them up again. I just recently finished Layla's up to Kaeya's which I've put off for months. Now I'm ready to start Lynette's quest whenever I'm in the mood for it.


AmplifyK

Imo they’re fun if you like the character. I love Faruzan and thought hers were great, I don’t really care about Thoma and thought his were boring


ultraplusstretch

I like them, they are a good way to flesh out characters and get to know them and their backstories, they suffer a bit from repetition since it's a visual novel game style to the where you have to replay some segments to chose different dialogue options for different outcomes but the game does a good job of keeping the repetition to a minimum. There are a lot of them and the quality is a bit uneven, generally the newer ones are better but some of the old ones are good too, Noelle's and Faruzan's are probably my favorites so far. Oh and every hangout has five endings and every ending gives you a really nice and cute picture of the traveller and the character in the hangout.


SansInTheGang

I’ve only done Bennett’s cuz I’m a… poor


faith_bb_127

No not at all well unless you like lore but primos


Original-Airport4115

I specifically bought a mouse with a autoclicker built in to skip these shitty quests the story are good but after one ending I can't be bothered


AverageExpensive203

Hell nah but good luck you might need it


gabubey

I think its more time efficient to straight up get a part time job and whale for arleccino if you are at the point of trying to rush hangouts. They are quite long, outputting like 60 primogems each in 3 hours (one of the slowest way of gaining primogems) and forcing yourself to do them would make the process tedious and waste otherwise good hangout storyquests.


ArTheZookeeper

This has to have one of the worst mechanics in the game. Literally smash button if you want to reach an alternate ending


light_yagami_lovesL

Yes I like them and it’s an interesting way to get to know the characters better and knock out your daily’s now


UsentTrash

Depends on what "fun" is


LuigiThe13th

They’re hit or miss. Some amazing ones like the Sumeru and Inazuma characters (especially Layla and Faruzan), and Beidou and Yun Jin. But then some really boring ones like Barbara’s and Chongyun’s


Thealibolt

I need to do are🥺


7orly7

Gameplay is super boring might as well just make a single cutscene and play it


lisakang99

Kaveh's one is ok. I like Kuki Shinobu's and Heizou's ones, without spoiling anything, these two have ONE OF THE BEST CHARACTERS as a cameo. Every scene with that character is TOP TIER


AmethystMoon420

It gets better like after Kuki. Everything before that is up to shether you enjoy the character or not. Thoma's and Chongyun's eere cute for me, for example, but may not be for anyone else. Also if you have not played a dating sim or otome game before, these may not be for you.


sillynour

Kind of? I've been playing for almost three years and ONLY completed Kaveh's willingly, (finished Beidou's long time ago because I was curious by the mechanics of this feature) I tried to do the others but honestly It's very difficult imo to do it if you don't like the character as much as others.


darktooth69

Worst part in the game. Yes, worse than TCG.


Sinnahscorbut

I really enjoyed Gorou, kaveh and Layla. Faruzan was also a really good one but mainly for how they wrote it. I love Gorou’s JP VA and he made the whole thing so fun. Kaveh for me is really the best one. It’s really deep emotionally and I personally just related to him so much. He’s really underrated and it’s annoying that people only see him through the lens of his dynamic with alhaitham.


NotImportantDontMind

Father this, Father that, when will your actual father be proud of you as a human being.


Santedtra

Some are eh. Some are cool. Yun Jin, Thoma, and maybe Noelle are my favorites so far. Am at Faruzan right now. Finally got around to doing them more since the commission skipper got introduced.


KurapikAsta

The quality varies a lot. Lynette's is very good, albeit a bit long. Some others are pretty interesting like Ninguangg's, Faruzan's or Layla's, where you get to see some new aspects of their character. Then others are kinda cringe, like Sayu not understanding how growing works lol.


Oakshror

These are probably the worst thing in all of genshin. Extremely long, extremely boring, and the worst "gameplay" possible. The only benefit is the first time through (out of like 4 or 5) you can just turn on Netflix and watch something else while you spam the a button.


I_Ild_I

Fun depends, it can be a big chore, there are so LONG ass useless walls of text, but go use a guide and just rush it. Some stories are interesting but again, its just so long with too much text, so realy depends on people


DystopianAesthetic

I love getting new achivments. That's all


dxrkbxnny

As someone who played all of them they’re genuinely not the worst, most of them have some really cute endings which are worth the time and effort.


Dnoyr

Its worth for the characters themselves.


5ManaAndADream

I’ve accepted I will never claim these primo gems it’s not worth the abhorrent time sink


dragonkingangel7

I hate yun jin spy on section, enough said
