History YMMV / ZenlessZoneZero

* SugarWiki/AwesomeArt: As expected from a Hoyoverse game, but even more so here as the animation from ZZZ is so fluid it rivals actual animation studios. Some players, also play ZZZ due to its heavy 2000s aesthetic, which has led some to consider ZZZ to be nostalgia bait for 2000s kids.

* FriendlyFandoms: With VideoGame/JetSetRadio. Due to both being heavily set in the 2000s-era of punk culture with similar genre of music of that era. Both fans of these two franchises would eventually intermingle.

* TheyChangedItNowItSucks: Some players didn't like that the designs of certain female characters like Nicole were changed between the first and second Closed Beta Test to be less overtly fanservice-y, pointing out that the game's higher age rating should allow for more sexually explicit character designs - of course, this ignores the fact that the new designs are still more sexualized than the majority of character designs in previous [=MiHoYo=] games, and that some of the old designs, like Nicole's shorts that were so small you could practically see her cameltoe, would have ran afoul of the much less Fanservice-approving Chinese regulators even with the raised age rating.

** Of course, in response to the last point, most people will happily point out that the game could simply have two versions: an international version which is sold outside of China, and a censored Chinese version. This is notably something other gacha games either already do or have done in the past, like [[VideoGame/GirlsFrontline Girls' Frontline]] for example, and many people have been ultimately calling for this in response to the censorship.

** When Nicole and the Cunning Hares make it out of the Dead End Hollow with civilians who had been trapped inside Callas Street, the executive in charge of Vision Corporation's operation in the area orders her men to fire on the crowd and kill everyone to keep the truth hidden. Only the timely intervention of police authorities and a news helicopter prevents a massacre.

** When Nicole and the Cunning Hares make it out of the Dead End Hollow with civilians who had been trapped inside Callas Street, the executive in charge of Vision Corporation's operation in the area orders her men to prepare to fire on the crowd and kill everyone to keep the truth hidden. The only thing stopping it is a news helicopter arriving on the scene just in time, causing the entire event to go public.

* ItsEasySoItSucks: Some players are unhappy that enemy density, enemy flinching, and overall health values make combat a breeze. Specifically, they fear that in trying to make a more accessible, casual experience, ''ZZZ'' will lose hardcore players to competitors like ''VideoGame/PunishingGrayRaven'' or simply return to ''VideoGame/HonkaiImpact3rd''.
* ItsTheSameNowItSucks: During the Tuning Test and what footage has come out of it, there have been some criticisms that ''Zenless Zone Zero'' is far too similar to the core gameplay loop of ''VideoGame/HonkaiImpact3rd'', [=HoyoVerse's=] earlier action-RPG success with gacha mechanics. Only time will tell if the rogue-like nature of the world and the randomly generated dungeons will differentiate it from ''Honkai'' enough to attract a stable audience.

** Miyabi quickly became a favorite during the Tuning Test. She has an incredibly powerful, flexible playstyle based on incredibly rapid, flashy attacks and Ice damage which is one of the most powerful and useful elements of the three. Add the incredibly flashy and impressive effects, her striking similarities to MemeticBadass Vergil from ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry'' by using a Japanese sword and [[IaijutsuPractitioner Iaijutsu inspired techniques]], and being a female fox [[LittleBitBeastly demi-human]] YamatoNadeshiko, and it was little wonder that the anime fans Hoyoverse targets latched onto her, and ''hard.''

* PopularWithFurries: Von Lycaon of Victoria Housekeeping Co. and Ben from Belobog Industries. Aside from them both being male demi-humans and having the most anthropomorphic animal features in general, Von Lycaon is a highly muscular, refined, and stylish butler with a [[HellbentForLeather penchant for leather straps and muzzles]], while Ben is a gigantic, [[{{Acrofatic}} portly but agile]], and [[BaraGenre very muscular bear]] with a [[{{Yakuza}} gangster-like appearance and behavior]] despite being officially an accountant, when not Hollow-diving.

** Before ''anyone even knew his name'' and his [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yDZm1E1jYXw first appearance]] being dominated by Soldier 11, Von Lycaon has been an almost universally beloved member of the cast. Fans seem to have fallen in love with his ExtremityExtremist combat style, utilizing only jet-powered kicks with his robotic shins, his incredibly stylish and [[MrFanservice handsome]] appearance and refined, professional behavior as a member of Victoria Housekeeping Co., and being a WolfMan demi-human who looks little different from what a [[PopularWithFurries furry artist would draw and other furries would appreciate.]] With the Tuning Test, it's only increased as players have realized just how ''incredible'' he is in gameplay, being gifted with extremely fast, powerful attacks with great flexibility in dodging, as well as having the Ice element which is currently the most powerful element for its ability to totally disable foes.
