Yeah especially whenever anons dump fanart there's usually a handful of the art that several anons praise which should be an indication of using that as the thread pic.

I think a way to solve this for the next thread is to do the classic cow board “voting” method. When the thread is about to be locked anons tag the art from the thread that they would like to be the next thread pic. The most seconded one is the democratic choice.

Ever since an anon in the prev thread pointed out that husbandos are only ever paired with little girls my soul has not known peace. I choose to see it as wholesome and pray to the higher powers I won't see any gross art/interpretations of them cause Wrio IS NOT A PEDO SCROTE.

That anon is retarded. No one complains when Kaeya and Klee are posted because we all know Kaeya is being her cool big bro and it's cute when guys take care of kids.
But when Wrio is posted with Seigwennie or whatever her name is it's meant to have negative connotations? Pft.

No. 323663

>>323660
>>323662
The discussion wasn't about the men being made into pedos but instead watering down their character by giving them the boring gap moe of looking after a little girl. However all signs point to Siegwinne having adult intelligence and her being associated with Wrio only as the head nurse of the prison, not as some little girl he takes care of like is the case with Albedo and Klee or Baizhu and Qiqi.

She's at least partially a melusine, hence the short stature. Some of the other melusine in the city speak nicely of her and refer to her as if she's a fellow melusine, including talking about how she invites some of the melusine to the prison infirmary to enjoy tea with her. She hosts skincare lectures in Fontaine according to some of the billboard posts. So, along with her being head nurse of the prison, it's difficult to view her as a child. There's no way Wriothesley would be letting her work alongside dangerous criminals if she were, after reading his lines about his own childhood.

For the anon who was asking about where to find Hoyofair stuff, this video has all the fan animations. The circus animation that so many people have been making fanart of starts at 8:58. Also I'd skip the second skit if I were you, it's just k-pop coomer trash.

I haven't even tried him out yet but I liked him enough from the story that I wanted him.
I guess I'll save my Primos, don't need any more of these 4 stars. I just never know when It's really worth going for C1+.
Also, I thought that tower in the distance was the fortress, I guess not? Wonder how many more map areas there will be.
Now I'll actually go into the prison later, don't want to get stuck there for hours before doing dailys.
Curious about the new thing they added and if it will help skip commissions dealing with the cycle theory without having to go into someone else's world.

I lost the 50/50, so I'll just save the guarantee for Wrio since his play style was weird? Like the floating attack is fun but I don't know how smooth it is in overworld since his normal/skill are so stiff.

Agree. The play style is super fun, but I don't know how to position myself to use the water canon. I always panic and use it right away in front of the enemies and have to move around to hit, I look so stupid kekw.

Got Neuvi, unfortunately going for his C1 was ruined by Dehya of all units. At least I got her the pull right after Neuvillette and I have Lyney so she's only 90% worthless. I'm gonna stop and wait for Wriothesley, maybe get constellations on his rerun.

No. 323813

Trial-wise I wasn't impressed mostly to him being more or less pure dps than a little more flexible in roles, but when I tried him I really wanted to check something for no good reason other than I'm AR60; when you use the changed skill where he floats at a cliff, does he fly sky high until the skill ends? Like Lyney's burst?

If you're the same Sigewinne anon than you need relax and take a break from the screen. Wriothesly is a fictional character and can be whatever you want him to be lmao

I have a stupid theory but: Wriothesly was received well by moids >> moids project onto him >> moids now can fuck their waifu through him in fanart and things.

Please tell me you're not talking about the small "do you want sugar with your tea" conversation. You cannot actually think that qualifies as flirting.

The writing is so good right now, I can't believe how much they improved from Inazuma. It's like they threw the original staff out and got some actually good and invested writers into the game to fix what's left. In Inazuma I hated almost every character or found them boring at best but both Sumeru and Fontaine have had me at the edge of my seat awaiting what's next and wanting to learn more about every single character in the story. I was expecting to hate Sigewinne but I ended up finding her cute, even Clorinde was really cool despite having the ugliest design in the game. I can't wait for the final part and the next chapter in the abyss twins story.

The change from two-part Archon quests to three-part archon quests has massively improved the writing. They can afford to slow down and give the characters time to shine. Inazuma felt like they were cramming what should have been a much longer story into an hour of gameplay, it was a mess.

Paranoid schizoyume or just a moid forcing hetships? I can't even tell anymore. Anyway sorry but Wriothesley only fucks Neuvillette. They do it in his office in Meropide.

>>324013
Nta and I haven't seen the scene with Clorinde yet but Alhaitham and Kaveh had constant banter, they live together and have a relationship that goes way back and yet you could play the game and come out not shipping them. So many genshin players have terminal fandom brainrot and the writing doesn't offer much, so any small gesture or sentence between two characters is immediately seen as shipbait. It's exhausting. You don't have to get so pissed off just because your husbando talked to a female character for a bit. Clorinde already has way more of a connection to Navia and Wriothesley is mostly shipped with Neuvillette, so relax jfc

I love Fortress of Meropide soundtrack. For some reason it reminds me a bit of Alice Madness Returns OST. Is it just me or are they a bit similar?
Also Wriothesley is very likable, love his voice and his character but Sigwinne is very unlikeable. I don't mind the child characters as much as nonnies here but she was shrieking and sounded like a burikko in Japanese dub, like she was putting on a fake cute act. I expected to like her a bit more.

Both Clorinde and Wriothesley are being lightly pushed for gay pairings, yet some anons are having a meltdown because they interacted with each other in a way very aligned with their personalities. Get help.

I thought anons itt hated female characters for having zero personality and have coom designs, but no, it's closer to the early 2k fujo "g-girls with girls! So my men can fuck each other 24/7 without a filthy woman being there!" Vibe. Like I get this is Genshin Impact but even to the point that male characters can't interact with female ones without rage is just hilarious.

Nta and I am not one of these who complained because I'm not there story-wise yet but honestly I wouldn't mind Wrio flirting with a woman but pls no Clorinde, I hate her design with a burning passion. I know they just talk and there was no shipbait so it's irrelevant, just saying that I wouldn't mind girl/guy ship, I just fricking hate Clorinde the Walking Boobs.

Unrelated but I've been in love with her design since anons called her hair greasy back when she was first leaked. In my mind she's an introverted femcel that can't be bothered to buy new clothes that fit her and I could take her shopping and fix her kek

What are you even talking about, it's pretty obvious they're husbandofags who will flip if they talked to female characters OR were implied to be romantically involved male characters. Male characters less so because they're not competition. Fujos don't give a shit because they ignore canon anyway, it wasn't them who tried to send Chinese authorities after Mihoyo because Kaveh was too close to Alhaitham and they called him a green tea bitch kek.

I thought it was only teenagers who did this sort of thing but apparently not. Tiresome. Again, I truly feel bad for Mihoyo's writers trying to navigate around how deranged the fandom can be overall when it comes to character interactions with each other. It must feel extremely limiting as a creative writer to have to walk on eggshells when it comes to character interactions, trying to make the world feel more alive and fleshing out the cast dynamics without stepping on too many toes.

Aside from that, I'm loving Sigewinne. She's very amusing to me. I like that she's kind of conniving and how she thinks humans are just so cute to observe, like little pets.
>I like smart people, but I also like playing dumb. I like the feeling of "being trusted."
I'm hoping they will explain in her character story why she looks so much more human than the other melusine. I can't tell how much the game wants us to ignore that or not, like that one Kimodameshi event in Inazuma with the kid NPCs wearing yokai masks that we were supposed to pretend looked like genuine yokai because they were too lazy to make new yokai NPCs.
Also, her line about thinking the traveler is cute is funny to me too. The game tells you multiple times how the melusine perceive things pretty differently to humans, like the melusine quest line with the paintings, how they can see destruction as beauty. So, was that actually a back-handed compliment to the traveler? Lol.
I can't tell whether they'll make her a 4 or a 5, but I hope I'll be able to get her whenever she releases.

If you want to get more into the weeds of her ICD/poise/hit types, you can look here:
http://www.yuhengcup.top/char
Like usual, things may change as the beta goes on, so it's not set in stone yet. She's looking to be a sub-DPS with buffing capabilities on her burst, reliant on gaining and losing HP to gain stacks. She can change between pneuma/ousia with her CA, which also changes what her skill buddies do (consuming party HP to deal damage vs healing). Her burst DMG% buff ramps over time, somewhat like Yelan's burst buff ramps. For Abyss, recommended to have her primarily off-field at C0, can spend more time on-field at C2 and above.

I don't even have a problem with people who ship furina and neuvilette even though i see them more as a babysitter and his weak useless kid, it's just that clorinde's design is very off-putting and her interaction with wriothesley was unnecessary and it attracts the worst type of shippers. They literally got more material to work with than neuvilette x wriothesley, which should have been the actual star of this patch and it also makes her dramatic yuribait with navia redundant.

They quieted down during Star Rail's release when they migrated to its thread which was immediately contaminated with similar mental illness but after that game plateaued they returned back here.

That said I want to give credit where credit's due, they've improved massively on writing female characters since Inazuma and given them more plot relevancy and agency. I used to hate all of the female characters and felt like the game was only giving coomer men what they wanted never giving female players a break, but during v4 we got five new male 5-stars out of which Alhaitham is possibly the best DPS in the game at the moment and gave him and Kaveh a star crossed lovers dynamic. Shockingly enough the female characters only got better during Fontaine. I love Furina and Lynette, and I never thought I would say this about a female character in Genshin Impact. Post-Inazuma Genshin is like playing a different game, complete with all the QoL improvements.

I agree. In Inazuma the only female character I liked was Yoimiya and mostly because she was just friendly and inoffensive. I thought I was going to hate Nahida but she has more character than just being a loli and Sumeru was a lot more husbando focused overall. Furina, Lynette, Navia and even Sigewinne are all really interesting and fleshed out. I wish Clorinde had had one of the better concept designs used for her but at least the character isn't offensive so far.
The QoL improvements have done so much for exploration. I'd hate navigating Fontaine without them. They put a lot of effort into making the swimming feel good and I'm going to miss it when Fontaine is done and we move on to Natlan.

I want him but I don't think I'll be able to afford Wrio if I lose 50/50 to him?
In a way I'm both ranting and needing some opinions; get him and hope I win 50/50 with Wrio and ignore Furina or guarantee Wrio, most likely guarantee Furina and wait for his rerun? I really liked both after archon quests.

I do like Sigewinne tho! I think it's endearing she thinks humans are cute creatures, kek. It's like the reverse of us, humans, thinking Melusines are adorable. (?)

I handled the Meropide investigation stuff much better than the endless Samsara bullshit in Sumeru where Nahida wouldn't just tell us what was going on because hurr durr your brain wouldn't accept it despite it being a dream not being all that farfetched or weird when something is clearly wrong. I liked the hints of what was going wrong with Childe. Looks like his Vision breaking has made him vulnerable to Abyssal corruption somehow, the leaks with him being the 4.2 boss seem pretty likely now.
>>324721
Her pets apply hydro pretty decently. Not as much as Xingqiu and Yelan but more flexible than them since she doesn't need normal attacks to trigger her pets. Her crab in particular does AOE damage rather than single target. Her ult buff is better than Kazuha's shred for teams that have a hard time double-swirling. Not a lot of word on her healing in pneuma form, I think it's around Kokomi jellyfish levels from what I've seen.
tl;dr she's good but depending on the team won't be better than Xingqiu. She's more flexible to use than Xingqiu though and that's where she shines; she's flexible and can slot anywhere.
She will be very very good with Neuvillette for all the Neuvillette pullers.

Just finished the archon quest and I don't get why Clorinde was there? Not as a "reee female character" but as a genuine question. I remember her as a good duelist yet she was there to swim and save the fortress, how?
Wrio can freeze water, I get that so he's useful but she's electro? I saw her shoot the lever to a gate but what's her ability to stop the water after?
Even the swimming aspect, like why her of all people? Even Navia would make more sense since she goes to metro area and would potentially sacrifice herself for Fremmi probably.
Actually wouldn't Clorinde be better fit sitting with Furina in her meeting with Arle? Since she stands beside her in court??


I liked the whole thing and didn't mind her as much as I thought I would minus her shirt that's about to pop but I feel they misused her potential, especially when I'm praying male duelist to be a real thing and her introducing him to traveller or something.

I think they're going for Clorinde being more of a secret agent type of character. She's Furina's bodyguard but she's also probably part of Furina's spy circle trying to devise a way to save the nation from the prophecy. Or she just happens to be someone Wriothesley can trust so he asked her for help. I agree it's kind of silly that she was going to keep back the flood though, it's not like she's a hydro or cyro.
I also wish the male musketeer showed up but given we only got concept art for him and no model leaks if he shows up it's probably going to be very late into Fontaine.

Same. Thank god my model has different settings for the fans and when I'm not playing vidya I can set it to "silent" mode and forget about them. They still wake up from time to time for god knows what, but eh. Sage for computer sperging.

I just finished the Archon Quest and I need to see more of this stupid trio. I love deadpan characters and them cracking jokes and throwing jabs at each other made me laugh a lot. I hope Mihoyo adds them to events and we see them together again.

I don't know why I love Arlecchino so much, she's so cool. She's edgy in just the right way. Also, isn't it new that Genshin kind of adds voice acting on top of art put on screen like a visual novel? Or was it in archon quests before this?

>>325017
Yep honestly she was very bland before. I finished the archon quest and I do have to say sadly Wrio and Clorinde do have better chemistry than a lot of characters that people are convinced are canon ships. You say it's not flirting but Wrio does seem like he's kind of flirting with everyone, or his voice is just like that to me, even when Neuvi passed by and he was like 'wooow, what's your secret'. If only Clorinde was a bit less of a coombait character, I'd probably love her with her deadpan personality and bloodborne look. But from what I've seen scrotes absolutely love her design. If only we had skins to select from, if only her shirt wasn't white but like grey, she'd look so much better to me.
I pray Wrio's character story fleshes out his relationship with Neuvi more because he kept talking about him but they exchanged like two sentences.

The relationship between Wriothesley and Neuvillette is so strange, why do they keep hinting at something while barely showing them together? Like when you're in Neuvillette's office and read the document about Wrio's case and how Neuvi was quiet for a long time? Why was that relevant? And how Wriothesley tries to invite him to stay for tea only to basically get a polite but cold no. They have barely any chemistry, it actually feels like they want to bait fujos to get that sweet, sweet free advertising through copious amounts of fanart

I don't know if it's different in other languages but the English voiceover and script really emphasize Neuvillette's detachment and loneliness from the world and humanity in general. I'm not surprised a character like that isn't very shippable yet. Maybe he'll grow more open as the Fontaine story progresses.

I found the letter from Furina to be pretty funny, being happy Neuvillette was seemingly taking a day off and going out for once.

I think they're trying to hint at what will be revealed in Wriothesley's story lines that are available to read through sites like project amber already. When you read his backstory, you find out he killed someone, alluding to perhaps an abusive foster parent of some kind, maybe more than one person, and stating outright that "the people he'd taken vengeance on were villains themselves in the first place". I think it's to just add a little more 'flavor' to how Neuvillette abides to judging by the letter of the law even when it doesn't seem to have allowances for things like killing in self-defense, and how that troubles him. It's not the first time the game tells you about people who get sentenced to punishments that they ought not to have and how it troubles Neuvillete but "the law is the law".

Some things about Neuvillete story quest:
I was kind of suprised there was no dungeon for us to try him in. He's the second character after Albedo that you can't play.
Also it felt like a mini archon quest rather than a story quest. All Fontaine's characters made an appearance, minus Furina and tbh although general lore isn't bad but I wanted more Neuvillete if that makes sense, like not as an OOC date but it felt so… general(?)
Hope Wriothesly's more personal.

I started playing recently and so far it's great! Exploring is a blast and I really enjoy the worldbuilding.

I'd say most of them, a lot of them aren't human and seem to care about traveler a lot and traveler is basically a non-verbal weirdo kek. But I'll give you my headcanons

Cares for Collei which is a troubled kid, is very kind in general.
>Zhongli
Percepts things differently from humans and rants about his monotone interests a lot himself, I feel like he wouldn't care if you were weird
>Itto
He's very nice to children and gets along with them, he's very goofy all the time and also would probably get along with speds.
>Kazuha and Albedo
Both are very kind but kind of blandly kind (sorry kazuhafags) and I think they'd treat an autist or mentally ill person very well

Same as Zhongli.

You gave so much detail, thank you! It really helps me get a better idea of the characters. Based on your descriptions and what I've played so far, Zhongli intrigues me. He's a "seen it all" type of guy so I'm confident he could handle me. My only worry is that he would be too enlightened and therefore turned off by my pitiful human catastrophizing.
>>325430
Thank you for the warm welcome! Thoma seems like the most willing to be an active caretaker, so right now he's at the top of the list. He would think of a retard as a stray animal and feel compelled to help me out, and want to make me even the littlest bit happier. And beyond the yoom I really really appreciate his worldview:
>As long as you live, good things will always happen… This is what Thoma has always believed in.
>Even if these animals had not encountered good things before, he hoped that at least his presence would be a good thing worth celebrating for.
Great recommendation nonita ♥
>>325405
Your succinctness is very funny. Though none of them are husbando material, my fave category are the ones who don't even realise I'm retarded. It's just a funny thought. Also I'm glad everyone agrees that Scara would bully any retard he happened upon.
>>325466
>would make you embarass yourself
I also enjoy being tormented so maybe I could have one of these guys as a sidepiece. That would create a satisfying hurt/comfort cycle as well as scratch the masochistic/self-pitying itch. Thoma and Ayato are narratively linked, so already an Inazuma-based daydream is beginning to form. I'll be playing that chapter next and I feel more excited about it then ever!
Thank you to everyone who contributed, I'm really thankful that you shared your ideas and that everybody got to laugh together.

Before the Primordial One arrived in Teyvat, the Seven Sovereigns were the rulers of the realm. The Primordial One and the Seven Sovereigns fought for many years, resulting in most of them dying out. The rest fled (like Apep). From the perspective of the Sovereigns, the Primordial One (and subsequently the archons) are usurpers. While Neuvillette is not the original Hydro Sovereign, he is a successor. Thus, from his perspective, the archons are "unauthorized gods" and because he "must remain a symbol of absolute justice", he must judge them..eventually. I don't think his judgement is from a malicious or hateful place, but rather "this is what must be done, this is my duty and the archons do objectively have crimes to answer for".

I swear I'm not trying to bait but I really don't get the hype for Arlecchino, at first when she was revealed during the Fatui trailer last year I was interested in the possibility of a princely female character but they made her wear an overdesigned vacuum sock pantsuit with the most lackluster color design an open back under the coat and a stupid rat tail to top it off, so far her personality has been closer to a world quest villain NPC twirling their moustache than a playable character. And before you come at me I'm not even one of those people who hate all female characters because in contrast I really like Furina's design and writing and how they're edging us on her hiding a plan. Scaramouche was foreshadowed since Inazuma but Arlecchino came out of nowhere, barely made an appearance besides bullying Furina a bit and now everyone is just losing their mind over muh problematic lesbian dommy mommy like they did with Signora. Unless she gets an actual arc in 4.2 I'm just going to assume people are just so desperate for a morally questionable female villain that they accept any crumbs that game devs throw them, maybe someone wants to explain what's her appeal because I was just disappointed beyond belief when they revealed her final design. And no, I don't hate her, I just don't understand why people are declaring her the best character in Fontaine when she's so generic. Maybe I'll be proven wrong.

You could say all of this about any other unreleased Harbinger. Many people like Arlecchino because she is the first female character who's allowed to be covered up from head to toe without any cringe armpit windows or thigh highs, but the lore around House of Hearth is also really neat. There are hints that she's a wolf in sheeps clothing who's not so secretly very unhinged which obviously also draws in a lot of people. We are only in 4.1 and we are sure to see much more of her so just give it some time to develop if you think she's boring right now.

I think the lore around her is really neat (House of Hearth, leaks saying she's a child experiment herself for example) but I guess I'm just so disappointed in how they copped out of making her more masculine/androgynous since the word "knave" refers to a male servant and the kids call her "father".

I like it, it's different from Peng's style but still works imo.

I liked the gritty sound in Meropide, very different from the other music, but >>326026 is right about Wriothesley's theme needing a bit more edge.

Thoughts about the archon quest? To me it was weaker than the last one.

What I liked
>Childe being involved and being the main conflict/dilemma alongside the prophecy. So fun when a past character’s backstory intertwines in a current archon quest. Much better than npc focused conflicts
>the world building of the prison and its system
>every Arlecchino appearance because she’s so fucking cool

What I dislike
>the weird pacing at the prison, the whole first part was me doing meaningless work and eating at a shitty cafeteria with childish paimon commentary
>overall nothing really happened?
>Neuvilette dragon identity reveal should have been more epic and cinematic

I laughed at the Childe animations too. They were laughably bad. Should have used the visual novel style instead, or do some proper animations.
On the similar note, I find it pretty weird how characters don't turn properly in cutscenes. At least I think so, or some other movement is missing, but when they stop moving and when they turn somewhere to run, it looks like old pokemon animations. Weird because we have proper running in overworld. I hope someone knows what I'm talking about.

Furina's C6 and C2 have been swapped around. Her C2 now turbo buffs her ultimate while the C6 is the tiny infusion. Weird choice but I guess they're doubling down on her being swapped as soon as you do skill + burst. Her burst has a shorter cooldown and less strict energy requirements now too.

Twice in a domain today he did that, I tried searching on youtube on how I'm screwing up but no one seems to have this issue.

Came here to complain too kek they really made us think we'll get interesting interactions between characters with very different personalities then it turned out to be an npc story again. It wasn't even a cute love story, I didn't need the mental image of that old faggot kissing a young girl or a water monster. I was waiting for Hu Tao to join in and have a big ending to the story at the end, but it just ended abruptly. The actually poem related parts were good but the last part just wasn't it. I hope we learn what happened to Chongyun the way we learned Diona's condition. It's like the writers are allergic to letting the characters progress, all the characters still act the same they always were, we just learn details about shit we already knew. I know Mika will again be a scaredy cat with social anxiety next event he appears in. No wonder the few that learn and grow through the story are a million times more popular than all the others.

What do you think of Wrio's trailer? I like his character but to me it was meh. Not very interesting. And that's probably because they spent a lot of time on his design it seems but not a lot on his personality. I wish they'd make him a bit more interesting, imo with his design they had lot to work with. I think if they built on his past of being a criminal and repenting a bit more it would be better. Maybe it'll be in his story but so far he seems kinda mild. Or they should have built his relationship with Neuvi more, character interactions are what makes us understand the character more.
Also I'm almost always liking the characters songs from the version trailers more than their extended versions.

So nice seeing a well known trusted chinese leaker talk about this. I remember when a waifu banner (forgot which) and a Hu Tao banner had the exact same numbers on Genshin Lab down to the freaking decimals. No way the exact same amount of people pulled a character.

This guy isn't trusted at all. He gets almost all of his original leaks completely wrong, especially the story ones.
Neuvillette didn't perform terribly badly but to act like it's a major accomplishment to be the best selling banner since 3.5 is kind of stupid (and as far as I can tell, Genshinlab says the same thing anyway). IIrc the only new character who got released between 3.5 and 4.0 was Baizhu who really did sell like total shit, and anyone who wanted Lyney had 3 years to save for him. What else were people going to spend their money on between then and now? The Klee/Eula banner kek?
The sales numbers of specific characters clearly don't matter much to Hoyo anyway, we got a ton of limited husbandos this past year while moids only got Nilou a year ago. They know that flooding regions with a majority of male or female characters works because husbando or waifu collectors need to swipe to get all of them. Neuvillette and Wriothesley will most likely be the last limited male characters for a long while because of this. At least Fontaine has stepped up its female characters and there are some promising ones like Arlecchino to tide us over until the next husbando releases in a thousand years.

It's not. Lyney needs ridiculously high personal damage because he's designed to not work with a lot of the best supports. With Wriothesley you need to make sure you have a healer at C0 to maintain his bonus damage buff. At C1 you don't need a healer anymore and can do whatever as long as you charged attack when your HP is around 60% and you see the red aura around him.
He's going to work really well with Furina, so you should be able to pull for her instead of Shenhe if you're unsatisfied with his current damage. I'd still run a second cryo for cryo resonance, but that's up to you.

He doesn't work with Xingqiu, Fischl, or Yelan, widely considered some of the best supports in the game. Discouraging reactions with him means he needs really high damage himself to compete or he'd be trash compared to Hu Tao, who Vapes. He works with Bennett and Xiangling and Kazuha but a lot of other units want them too.
I'm not saying he's bad, he's not bad by any means because they gave him the insane damage buffs he needed to compete, he's just inflexible compared to a unit like Childe or Raiden (who want all the same teammates as Lyney).

Just make two separate teams? They're both meant to be the primary character on-field and don't really work with any other play style. They do both like some of the same supports though, so if you really wanted to you could pair them with any two of Bennet/Kazuha/Zhongli.

So cute. Although it’s so interesting how incredibly irrelevant Inazuma and sumeru characters feel.

At least with Fontaine, Neuvillette and the Arlecchino plot line with Furina makes it feel like the characters are important to the game’s overall story. Especially with Childe being involved in the story too. It really feels like the game is finally moving forward and we’re taking the steps to understand Celestia/Abyss/Archon powers more. I didn’t feel like that at all with Sumeru characters. Even the Scaramouche and Nahida irminsul tree thing didn’t feel like it told us something groundbreakingly new.

Liyue was also completely irrelevant though. We just went on a shopping trip and then there was a very badly written climax, only for Zhongli to tell us he can't say anything about the archon war because muh contract.
The only nation that has future lore relevancy to Celestia is Mondstadt. Sumeru didn't give us many lore bombs in the main archon quest, but Khaenri'ah is below it and the interlude was pretty good.

This is a little off topic but I‘m currently doing database work and there’s a ton of Chinese people in it and it’s really struck me how everyone in Liyue is named the Chinese equivalent of SparkleDog or WarriorShadowKiller. In 1000 names I didn’t see a single name that matched a genshin name.

kek yes he benefits a lot from being the most normal/casual fatui harbinger. Others wouldn't have just approached us on the street and give us their visions to kick off a storyline.

>Sumeru is irrelevant
>Irminsul tree didn't tell anything new
What are you talking about? The entirety of Teyvat is connected to Irminsul and you can control the collective memory of everyone in the world by editing what's stored in it like Scaramouche and Rukkhadevata did by removing their existence and Traveler is the only person who had their memories preserved, even Nahida and Paimon forgot about them. The biggest revelation in the end of Sumeru chapter was that the traveler's sibling was recorded in the Irminsul database even though it shouldn't be possible due to the limitations specifying that "people from outside of Teyvat are excluded from the records". Both of these were huge plot points. Irminsul is connected to every single domain and Leyline in the game making it in essence the central computer of Teyvat that has two flaws: the data stored in it can be edited and people from the outside aren't recorded in it. The most popular theory is that the reason the Traveler's sibling is recorded is because Teyvat is running in a loop and the traveler's sibling already died once (i.e. "completed their journey"), had this recorded in the Irminsul's database and then started over again. Which would explain a lot of things happening in the game. I sometimes feel like people here just sleep on half of the lore because they autoplay the dialogue and then complain about bad writing.

Well that’s what I meant with nothing new. Anyone not retarded knew this loop thing by what characters have said. Literally Venti saying "we meet again" to the traveler, we got to know that 2 years ago. They just added the tree as an explanation for it in sumeru, which to me wasn’t enough new info. Lumine being in Teyvat before us and our journey being a loop that we have forgotten is as obvious as Paimon being sketchy.

English names sound exotic without needing to be fancy to non-English speakers. Good example is Terra in Final Fantasy 6 being called Tina in Japan because they thought it made her sound cool and different, but they changed it to Terra in English to keep the same unique vibe.

God I hope this time travel plot is not what the writers go with. Superfluous time travel always makes a plot 1000% worse. The writers always fail to think things through and create endless contradictions and everything falls apart with the least bit of scrutiny.
What I immediately thought is that the Traveler's sibling died/was killed and the one we see is a clone made by Rhinedottir. We already know Albedo is made up of the same substance as the Traveler, hinting that he was only able to be made because of the Traveler somehow. We also know that Rhinedottir made a lot more than just Albedo (Durin, Elynas, Dorian, the Riftwolves). If the "sibling" is a clone it would make sense why they're recorded in Irminsul, they were made in Khaenri'ah. It would also make them being the Prince/Princess of Khaenri'ah make sense if they were a symbol of Khaenri'ah's greatest fuck you to the gods, creating life itself.
It's probably a retarded thought too but god I just can't stand time travel plots.

No. 330832

>>330828
IMO, time loop isn't the same as time traveling though. Taking into regard Scaramouche's old statement of "the sky being fake" I would guess that the current events in Teyvat are happening inside a simulation and the abyss twin is looking for a way to end it in order to escape, and maybe that's also what the Tsaritsa is attempting to do seeing how the Fatui made the Sumeru Academiya conduct that controlled Samsara experiment. As for the possible reason as to why the sibling has been recorded in Irminsul, there have been speculations how when a person dies in Teyvat they get absorbed into Irminsul before being reborn (like what happened to Rukkhadevata), which would indicate towards the sibling dying in the past.

Also Sigewinne isn't confirmed, the guy who leaked that has a history of faking leaks in his streams to stop people from taking credit for his leaks.

Been waiting since 1.1 for this shit. I know it's so retarded of me but I was imagining her like picrel. This happened with another character before, I can't take even Childe seriously now that I know his ass got taught fighting by a naked woman with the arm thickness of a toothpick. I wasn't expecting a buff woman model but at least the clothes could be used to give the weathered fighter vibe. I was hoping she would be an npc with a unique model just so she could be older too.

Sigh, I know nonna I know. Got my hopes high for nothing. I wasn't even expecting her to show up in game till leaks happened and Childe came back with his abyss lore.

I hope some fanartists out there will share your vision and make lots of good art of her, hoyoverse designers just couldn't make a woman past thirty even if they wanted to… Oh my god, I've never played a gacha with such good writing and so little coom. But you should know that they fired a female artist over mildly feminist tweets which were dug up by seething incels who were mad about the summer event having no tits-out coombait ID. I deinstalled the same day they announced it and still can't understand why they decided to act that way.

Any of those concept art designs would have looked fine and consistent with the rest of the roster of Genshin. A lot of them were reminiscent of Fischl except more creepy-themed.

He shows up a bit at the beginning and a bit at the end.

Wasn't intending to but I just blitzed the whole thing, mixed feelings.
I really like Neuvi but once again a character with too much responsibility to be a husbando. Can we get a cool tall male bounty hunter or member of the Adventurer's Guild or something. Someone who could conceivably come along on the MC's adventures.
And then they give Furina a tragic? backstory, but it's too late, she will always be an annoying brat to me.
And Skirk… It's not her design that makes her annoying to me, but it is funny that I'm pretty sure she's the short female model. Have we ever heard about her master before? And those other names she mentioned that weren't Gold?
And annoying that they just bring up Childe's backstory like you should know it even though it only comes up in game if you rolled for him and leveled up his bond to get the story.
Don't really know what to think about all the reveals about the real Focalors and the people of Fontaine's true origin's and how easily everything seemed to wrap up at the end.
Salty that they killed off Navia's assistant's and I feel like part of it is just so the only one she has left is Chlorinde to push that ship…

I'm disappointed Arlecchino didn't do much on screen. It makes sense that most of her involvement was her help off screen since she was never really portrayed as an enemy in this region but now that we're done with the story I feel like all my excitement for her since the Winter Night video was for nothing? She just showed she cares about Fontaine, what about her goals as a Harbinger? Is she even going to be playable during Fontaine? Involving the Fatui too much would complicate things unnecessarily but I wish we got to see her more since her eventual personal story won't be about her. I was already guessing the main story would end in this update and I think they did really well with Furina's backstory (didn't play her character story yet) but dropping info that there are beings residing in Teyvat that can keep a galactic whale that terrorized a nation as a pet and not explaining anything felt so abrupt. It's not even similar to the dragon pets we saw before, this one is from out of Teyvat and all. Then there's Skirk who's been training all her life…. to fight what?

God I'm never going back to twitter if I have to see trannies pretend to relate to female characters. If anything, Furina's story relates to gender for being similar to how women have to act like a personality that will sit right with what's expected of our position/womanhood to get everyone's approval and constantly be overwhelmed by other people's opinions on us because their opinions and words will have crucial effects on our lives unlike men who get forgiven no matter what they do even in front of the law. Her begging people to remember how much she does for them and how they loved and were entertained by her just moments ago feels like women begging for people to be sensible while they try to ruin women's lives and careers over the smallest mistakes or even misunderstandings. I don't actually think it's a commentary on sexism or anything but if it has to relate to gender, it would've been this instead of whatever trannies think they see in her.

I think it's unintentional too but >>334336 is some pretty good analysis. But troons are incapable of analysis because everything has to be about them and their egos.
tl;dr never listen to troons and ignore them, they feed off of attention and starving them of it is the best way to make them mad.

I don't play Genshin but are there really any "implied" ships in the game? Lately, I see a lot of shipperfags claim that Focallette/Neuvifuri is canon. Can any lorenerd tell me if this is true, and if yes then what are the other almost canon ships?

In case this isn't bait, no Neuvilette/Furina isn't really even implied.
I'd say the most implied ships are Beidou/Ningguang, Alhaitham/Kaveh and maybe Raiden/Yae. But it's all very vague, the actual shipping is done by the fandom in fics and fanart. No canon pairs or ships in genshin unless it's some npc with another npc.

There are no canon ships, this is a martketing strategy because players self insert as the mc and they dont want to have there waifu/husbando be in a relationship with anyone else.

Thank nonas, that makes sense. I too had the impression that there cannot be any canon ships with playable characters as that would anger self-inserters.

As anons said, only Beidou and Ningguang and maybe Kaveh and Alhaitham and even then there has to be plausible deniability because anti-gay laws in China.

I think they're just too lazy to do it. I play Enstars Music which also needs to consider how new character outfits would move in 3D textures/MVs and they casually release them bi-weekly. Mihoyo probably doesn't want to waste resources on skins that only a subsection of people will buy and instead direct their energy towards new characters. To be fair they also have the actual open-world to work on too which my example game doesn't have.

I like the takarazuka theatre influence in fountaine. Both furina and arlecchino wear androgynous fashion (FOR GENSHIN STANDARDS don't come at me that they're still feminine-looking). I also noticed that furina's legs are skinnier/more shapeless than the other short girls who tend to look "curvier". She doesn't give much to coomers (besides the tomboy enjoyers), even her chest is ultra-flat and she speaks in a boyish manner. In japanese she sounds like venti. And arlecchino is rather handsome, even if her body underneath the suit is still very curvy with big boobs. I remember some angry chinese moids were claiming she sounds like a drag queen lol. For me at least, she gives the vibes that she's genuinely gay and for a female audience, unlike yae and raiden who pander more to straight male yurifags.

As a yume she's too bratty and woobyish to self-insert into and Neuvi deserves better.

NTA and I don't like the ship either because they have a very familial relationship to me but honestly who cares if women wanna ship them? Furina is the character Neuvillette interacts the most with by far, and Wriothesley felt very shoehorned in as the other half of the regional yaoi ship so it's not really a surprise that Focallette has become a popular ship.
It only disgusts me if there are obvious pedo undertones and Furina is reduced to being a DDLG brat while Neuvillette is her daddy tardwrangler, but Act V showed that she is actually a lot more mature than she came across at first so… Whatever. I really couldn't give less of a fuck if 15 year old girls wanna self insert into Furina to live out their yume fantasies with Neuvillette.

No. 335753

Spoilers for Act V Focalors isn't the same character as Furina though, she's responsible, mature and smart, and killed herself in the end. Furina is the "actor" she hired, a woobified brat who thinks and acts like a literal child, and she's the one Neuvillette knows. I can't stop people from shipping them but it's a red flag to me because it gives off severe DDLG vibes.

Have you played her story quest or read her voice lines? Her real personality is a lot more calm and levelheaded than what she acted like when she pretended to be the archon, that's why playing that role was so difficult for her. The "real" Furina is more like Focalors than the bratty ojousama she pretended to be during the archon quests because they are two sides of the same coin. She isn't a hired actress, she is Focalors and Focalors is Furina. If all you got from the many hours we spent learning about Furina is that she's a woobified brat with the mind of a child then you must have pretty bad reading comprehension.

I cringed hard when I watched how Focalors sounded in English dub. I played in JP and she sounded just a bit more calm than Furina, in EN she sounded like she's trying to be Jessica Rabbit or something kek, hope you get what I mean.

I'm just going to come out and say it, I absolutely despise Mihoyo for woobifying Focalors/Furina beyond repair. I hate what they did so, so much. I wanted her to be a cunning, pompous brat but in the end she got the Ei treatment and suddenly she's a kind, composed waifu deep down who just wanted to protect everyone and sacrificed herself for centuries boo hoo don't you feel bad for the little blorbo shame on you for thinking she was just being mean. It came out of nowhere during the last act while Furina had barely been present for the entire storyline doing nothing while Neuvillette was the actual hero of the archon quest for its entire length. I wanted one fucking female character that was a bitch born out of a trash fire but in a way that's interesting, got hyped for Furina, had Mihoyo shit in my face, ruin everything in just one act. The self-sacrificing storyline was done so well with Nahida/Rukkhadevata, it's like some writer at Mihoyo saw that and wanted to copy it but remove everything that made her complex, intelligent and humane. It's seriously no wonder so many emotionally unstable young women self insert into her so much, she's framed as a troubled quirky girl sitting around eating cake and crying but achsually she's a super powerful god who saved an entire nation offscreen. I'm so fucking mad because the most interesting parts of the archon quest turned out to be Childe's connections to Skirk and her master, Gold, the dragon sovereigns and Egeria's sin yet they were barely touched upon just so we could feel bad for a character that appeared at the last minute to drop the most generic, forced tearjerker cutscene that made me feel NOTHING. Just like in Inazuma, Fontaine's world quests have a way better payoff than the archon quest.

Nahida joined the traveler early on to save her people who had completely forsaken her, she was authentic, pushed her limits and her story was opened up little by little during Sumeru's archon quest instead of being dumped on the player at literally the last second. She was likable but didn't kiss the traveler's ass, she came up with the samsara technique to take down Scaramouche and showed mercy to him only to keep him under her thumb simply because he was useful to her. She gambled away the gnosis for exchange of information because she had true curiosity for the world making it clear that she kept her own head despite being burdened by the legacy of her previous incarnation. Ei was a literal retard in every possible way and got ultra woobified in the end for no fucking reason besides waifufagging so Nahida was a huge improvement after her, only for me to be let down by everything repeating with Furina. I can't fucking believe they gave us a girl that actually felt interesting and flawed only to do the "just kidding, she was only playing a character!" rug pull, I'm convinced that the rumors about Fontaine's story being written by that scrote talking shit about female players are true.

Furina is literally just a human, and she wasn't even aware of the entirety of Foçalor's plan, so the only thing that she knew was that she had a burden of knowledge that that plan would fail if she ever let even one person in Teyvat know that she's not a real archon, despite everything she did her best to suppress her more humane side which is obvious even from the first court hearing with Lyney, so I don't know why you think that that came out of nowhere. She wasn't an archon but she still did everything for her people only to be discarded by them and not even being in epilogue, how tf is this comparable to Ei who was just sitting in her shitty doll for hundreds of years and let corrupt commissions do whatever with her country and people as long as it didn't mess with "eternity" which she herself confessed she didn't know shit about. Look, I understand that hoyoverse's writing for female characters is fucked, but the latest regions are actually improving on this and if they manage to make Tsaritsa a sleepy hardworking waifu somehow I will personally send them a pipe bomb. We still have Natlan in the future with a literal goddess of war, so maybe she will satisfy your want for psycho female characters (I don't judge, I am personally very satisfied with Arlecchino)

Personally I'm waiting for Arlecchino and Neuvillette rerun had I known he would be the one who took the “archon”-ish role I would have pulled for him instead of Furina. Navia's burst is so cool though. Currently I have Lyney, Lynette, Fremmy, Charlotte, Furina and Wrio. My favorite gameplay style is surprisingly Lyney! His animations are so fun and flashy for a male character as well as just really smooth. He feels great in the overworld and abyss, where you can comfortably just use his skill and burst to kill a bunch of enemies if charged shots aren't your thing. Great damage too even though theorycrafters like to downplay that. Furina was a bit disappointing to me, I can't find a team where she is better than Xinqiu.

>Which Fontaine characters have you pulled?
I'm f2p newfag, so I don't have much: pulled for Lyney - didn't get him, pulled for Neuvilette - got him, didn't pull for Wriotheseley, wanted Venti - lost 50/50 to Mona, currently pulling for Baizhu, I like Furina, but I want to get her on the rerun. Out of 4 stars I got Lynette and Freminet, they are cute
>Are you planning on pulling Navia, Clorinde or Arlecchino?
I pull for everything, because I actually don't care that much. Navia's banner is alongside Ayaka's and tbh I kinda hate Ayaka, so I'll be pulling for Navia.

Wriothesley. Neuvillette's laser is unique and it's funny seeing enemies just melt in it but Wriothesley feels so satisfying to play. Good animations, good damage, perfect voice acting.

Neuvillette, Wriothesley, and Furina.

Navia on rerun maybe because I like her character, Arlecchino 100%. Hard no on Clorinde. Maybe Cloud Retainer but she'd have to have a broken kit for me to consider it when I already have C6 Kazuha.

Neuvi, Wriothesley and all the four stars. I pulled for Baizhu but I'll probably try to get Furina on her rerun because she goes well with Wrio.
>Are you planning on pulling Navia, Clorinde or Arlecchino?
I'm Arlecchino simp so definitely her, I hope she's a support and I can have her in same team as Wrio.
I don't care for Navia's personality because I thought she's really weird with the random macron baking during the conversation (manic pixie girl-ish?) and I really wish she had a different role in the story than a weird mafia boss, her design says something totally different. The sunglasses don't go well with her dress too. I feel like she was designed with something different in mind, like a navy captain or a court lady.
Definitely not pulling for Clorinde, I am a certified Clorinde hater, can't take her seriously with that design.

Yeah the navy vibes with Navia are strong, which is why they went with the giant ship in Poisson I guess

Also on a completely unrelated topic, what happened to Childe nonas? Skirk threw him into that Dainsleif power-looking portal with the whale. We don’t see him but Arlecchino and the the two Fatui in Mondstadt say he’s badly hurt and is resting in Shneznaya, but is that really true? Also why is Arlecchino the second strongest harbringer she hasn’t done shit kek. Just seems like a competent and kind lady.

She apparently killed the previous Knave.

Regarding Arlecchino, it's so, so weird that Childe's voiceline about her described her as having "no sane bone in her body" and she was foreshadowed as the ominous "father" in the Fontaine trailer pushing down those Lynette and Lyney stands making cryptic remarks but in the end she was just a nice lady who helped everyone out offscreen. What the fuck? It's like they missed an entire story chapter, seeing what a mess Dottore and Scaramouche created in Sumeru I was fully expecting her to carry on the tradition. She just showed up, bullied Furina a bit, helped everyone and left. Why is Mihoyo so allergic to morally questionable women?

No. 337513

>>337425
I think it's because they realised people want her playable and tinfoil but they might be wary of making her more edgy like Scaramouche. He ended up being a huge problem with Korean and Chinese people, probably because he's a male character but there's a substantial portion of fandom hating him just because he isn't mild a nice like most other characters. I was really looking forward to playing a villain and she sounds kind of ridiculous in English, her voice actress makes her sound like a cartoon villain while she is just a nice lady now.
I feel like the change was last minute because in the 4.0 trailer she still acted kind of evil.

No. 337539

>>337417
Yeah I know that, Freminet said that. I just mean in the archon story, she is just a "cunning diplomatic mastermind" but other than that it’s a bit underwhelming for the second strongest harbringer.
>>337425
Exactly, I expected her to be unreasonably cruel but she seems very level-headed and morally righteous.
>>337513
The Scara hate is because women found his bad boy attitude cute and formed a huge Scara fandom globally. Dottore doesn’t get that hate by male players (even though he’s crueler than Scara) because Dottore doesn’t have a vocal fangirl fanbase. Scara is still the most liked character on every official Genshin twitter, that ought to bother the male playerbase who insist genshin is a waifu-only game. So Arlecchino could have definitely been portrayed as more cruel, the moids wouldn’t get bothered by that.

She isn't the second strongest, she's the 4th in rank. We have only seen her "good" side in the Fontaine archon quest because that's what she wanted to present herself as. Scara told us exactly what she is, a wolf in sheeps clothing. It wouldn't make sense for her to be on bad terms with Traveller already, they're more useful to her if they think she's friendly.
If you think about who she is and what she does for more than 5 seconds you'd realize that she's actually a terrible person. She grooms children into being hyper loyal child soldiers and doesn't mind sacrificing them like pawns when it suits her.
I don't think she's fully evil like Dottore (who's pretty comic book villainous at times, especially his Webtoon variant. Thank God they gave us a different version of him in the actual game), but even her perceived kindness towards the HoH kids doesn't feel fully genuine because of how ready she is to let them get killed. Keep in mind that she has indoctrinated them to the point that Lyney was ready to sacrifice his siblings for her. She didn't save them from their abusive circumstances out of kindness, she took them in because traumatized children are more easily manipulated into being loyal servants for their savior.
And she didn't "bully Furina a bit". She straight up attempted to assassinate her.
Fontaine was all about playing a role, and she played the role of the elegant Fatui ally.

He had a mental breakdown and lost his composure entirely attacking Wriothesley when Freminet and Lynette were in perceived mortal danger, what do you mean "ready to sacrifice his siblings"?
>she took them in because traumatized children are more easily manipulated into being loyal servants for their savior.
After killing the people who abused them and took the kids under her care. HoH has never been described as "grooming child soldiers", it's just a spy faction for the Fatui, not some boot camp of death because only children who are perceived to have "potential" are chosen to join Fatui ranks anyway. It's just a regular orphanage for the most part.
>And she didn't "bully Furina a bit". She straight up attempted to assassinate her.
No she didn't. She literally said that she was testing her to see if she was the real archon or not, not trying to actually kill her.

Look I know you're in these threads whiteknighting the fuck out of Arlecchino because she's your ultimate waifu but people are justified in being disappointed at how milquetoast she turned out to be despite all the foreshadowing done beforehand. Dottore was a sophisticated supervillain and genuinely intimidating in how ruthless and evil he was, Arlecchino wasn't given that edge because Mihoyo would never make a a female character be threatening. Sure this might be just the first half of her story and she could turn out to be a real psycho but so far I'm not holding my breath since Genshin has woobified (or killed unceremoniously) every potential female villain in the entire game since its launch.

What are you talking about, everyone absolutely hates Dottore.

NTA but Lyney was having a mental breakdown over Wriothesley just asking him to arrange a meeting between him and Arlecchino. He was breaking down having to make the choice of potentially harming Arlecchino. Arle even berates Lyney later for being so paranoid about her safety and said she wouldn't have minded meeting Wriothesley.
Also Mihoyo not making a woman threatening falls apart when you remember Signora existed. She shouldn't have been killed in Inazuma, plain and simple, but she was given a plenty threatening introduction and role. Arlecchino was playing nice with us to get what she wanted, she'll probably be an antagonist towards us later.

Yes, and if they want to leave the organization they have to do crazy shit like fake their own deaths. They don't have a choice whether they want to join or leave, and we have met ex-orphanage NPC Fatui who realized that what they've been forced to do is bad and they didn't want to stay in the ranks anymore but couldn't just resign.
>No she didn't.
Yes she did. She said that it was an attempted assassination.

I literally said that Arlecchino isn't a fully evil person, no idea why you think that me pointing out her wolf in sheeps clothing behavior is copium or whiteknighting. The only actually evil person we have met in the game so far is Dottore. Nobody else comes close, not even any of the other Fatui Harbingers. Childe is at this point a chill guy who plays with kids and makes friends more than he does evil things, and Wanderer is the biggest woobie in the entire game. I love him but some of the behavior he exhibited while he was still with the Fatui feels like weird over the top behavior you'd find in a fanfic kek. It is kind of a shame that Dottore is likely going to be the only actually morally black Fatui since Capitano is apparently also a decent guy, but what can you do.
Imo, what we have seen of her is very interesting, and I personally much prefer the subtle approach of Arlecchino over cringe in-your-face obvious villains. It feels like more mature writing compared to Paimon explaining things 500 times and many characters only having one personality trait. Let HYV cook, their writing abilities have been massively improving since Sumeru and I doubt this will be the last and only narrative relevance Arle is going to have. Remember that Scara's appearance in Inazuma was also super short and pretty meaningless even though he's clearly a big writers pet.

I notice that a lot of the archons always have an other “half”. Nahida was part of Rukkadevata, Ei was Makoto’s twin and Furina was Focalors’s human self.

With Neuvillette being the one to take the role of the archon and its duties, and Furina being a normal human who now got her vision in the most anticlimactic way, I can’t help but seethe that they advertised her as an archon. I would’ve never pulled for her knowing she was a normal human and that Neuv is the closest to an archon for Fontaine. Every traveler is based on the regional archon. Hydro Traveler is based on Neuv’s skills and everything too, rather than Furina’s. Neuv in general was definitely who the story revolved around, fucking Furina disappeared during the end of the finale and Neuv got the epic archon power cutscenes. The one time I pull a female archon and she turns out to be a wet fart in the story. I should’ve stuck to my husbando gut feeling about Neuvillette.

No. 337924

Does her past and present not matter to you? The before of the future you wish they started from? We saw her story and progressed it on screen. By your logic we should only ever get characters after they've completed all their arcs and that's how we get characters with boring personal stories and no true impact on archon stories. If you don't like her because she no longer has archon powers which she never had and never showed on screen anyway so it never mattered then did you even like her at all?

I genuinely hate how 4.3 turned out, the buildup was HUGE and it ended up being a disappointment in every meaning of the word. I'm honestly happy that Neuvillette became the ruling hydro sovereign because they were the original rulers of Teyvat and got their powers ripped away from them but I hate what they did to Furina, she was so hyped and even I was excited to see where they take her character and it was just a regular human and the laziest fucking "plot twist". "Oh yeah by the way I built this machine to gather up energy to kill myself and end the hydro archon throne and Furina was fooling Celestia while I was doing it" sounds like such a cop out, I really don't see Celestia not being aware of this happening. It seriously doesn't make sense that they wouldn't realize that Furina wasn't the real archon ESPECIALLY seeing how Egeria betrayed them, you'd think they'd keep an eye out? No, fuck this, I wanted Furina to have a moment to shine at the end and save her people and reclaim her position in their eyes but now she practically disappeared offscreen being disgraced in front of Fontaine. I know that would've been equally cliche but it would've been much more satisfying for the amount of build up 4.1 and 4.2 gave us. Furina was too promising to end up as a crybaby human who suffered for 500 years not being able to tell anyone oh no!!!!! The people defending her are the ones projecting into her and that's that.

This would make sense if we were still in Sumeru, but now we’re in Fontaine with a finished archon quest and Natlan being released in summer. Mihoyo has prepared the general story and conflict of the upcoming region every time during this point in the current region. This has to be deliberate.

Say what you will about Nahida, if you removed her from the story they wouldn't have been able to escape Dottore, defeat Scaramouche, deal with Irminsul or break out of the Samsara so she actually did something worthwhile compared to Ei who barely appeared in the story quest and did literally nothing during the entire Inazuma chapter but she's a fan favourite because she's a head empty no thoughts sapphic hikikomori booba sword autist.
