Nostalgic Girl is one inquiry of many in ZZZ (Zenless Zone Zero). Players are likely to come across it as they progress through the popular game by miHoYo. Known fully as “The Older The Better Videotape,” the mission is not exactly straightforward. When players receive it, there are not many details on what to do or where to go. This is something that can be tricky or frustrating, especially if you want to get the rewards from it and move on.

However, this is one of the more vague missions to complete and we are here to assist. The mission comes as a part of the common requests to pick videotapes that customers would like. Although the game revolves around fighting otherworldly monsters, players also run a video store. One such customer that asks for aid is the Nostalgic Girl and her inquiry is what we are here to solve. In the guide below, we provide you with the knowledge of what videotape to pick to complete the mission.

How to Complete the Nostalgic Girl Inquiry in ZZZ

To complete the Nostalgic Girl inquiry in ZZZ, players need to select Return to Giallo City. The Nostalgic Girl describes the type of videotape she is looking for. She says she wants something that shows what “things were like when Grandpa was growing up.” However, this may seem tricky as some of your store’s collection has older tapes. But, Return to Giallo City lines up chronologically with when her grandpa would be around.

The choice of videotapes in ZZZ is unique because it requires players to think outside of the box a bit. Furthermore, it aims for you to look into the lore and come to the conclusion of what these NPCs want. But, you do not start with all of these videotapes right away. Some of them are earned through various means like progressing the game. In the case of Return to Giallo City, players will need to complete a couple of prerequisites to have it in stock.

How to Unlock Return to Giallo City in ZZZ

To unlock Return to Giallo City in Zenless Zone Zero, players need to reach level 6 for the Video Store. While this does come naturally, players must do two things to have the level reached. The following is how:

  • Complete Chapter One of the game’s main story.
  • Hit Level 40 Inter-Knot

Upon doing both of these, players will hit level 6 for the Random Play video store. Luckily, both of these go hand-in-hand. As you move through the story, you will progress the levels of Inter-Knot. This is the game’s reputation system, which also levels through inquiries. However, reaching Level 40 of it may take some time. Therefore, it is best to not just go through the story but also complete any side missions as well. Every little bit of progression helps to build your Inter-Knot and get you that much closer to the appropriate level of the store.

Once all requirements are fulfilled, players will be able to find the videotape in the store’s inventory. Thus, you will be able to complete the Nostalgic Girl’s inquiry for ZZZ. This mission is a fun little side job in the free-to-play title. It gives players a break from the action and see what their characters do when they aren’t saving citizens.
