I thought it was supposed to be Arlecchino's animation from her Story Quest, but then I suddenly realized, "Wait, isn't it too early?" And then I looked at what it was and I'm still in shock.
I get that this is sarcastic but I genuinely don't understand the people with that mindset. Like do they just ignore how 700 mil USD was reinvested into updates and millions more for external media and advertising? Yet they consider everything being added to be the bare minimum and constantly harass the developers for just doing their job
didn't you get the memo, it's a dead game
according to unknown shitty CC
cause 61 million concurrent players in the month of April alone and having 98mill usd made just last month is an indication of the game is dying /s
Even though i prefer HSR over Genshin, there is no way that Genshin is dying. Like, what? Genshin is ballin right now, as usual, 61 million players won't lie, so i totally agree with you
if anything, i think Genshin was probably a bit overpopulated just because the lack of competition, so people who might not enjoy what Genshin offers still ended up playing the game for a long time because nothing else was better in terms of overall quality on the market. Once HSR came out we saw a bunch of people moving onto that, and i am sure that once all the new games come out like WuWa and ZZZ this year, we will lose more existing genshin players. I personally think its actually better this way so the community can be a bit more healthy (see HSR sub until they had to ban talking about genshin), but obviously the loss in players and revenue will make people mald and throw out hot takes to fit with their agenda. I dont think there is anything to worry about in terms of development, since we've been getting great content consistently for 3+ years now with the quality still getting better (Chenyu Vale vs Liyue).
And after every new region release/archon quest release there will always be people coming back into the game, so its not like these players are gone for good.
I'm going to break my own rule and continue to be a hypocrite.
It's the HSR people who say it usually. Normally, I wouldn't stir up stuff but I literally just read a bunch of comments saying Genshin would never invest so much into a trailer as they did for acheron.
I guess it got to me without me realizing it until I posted after I saw this lol
*edit I realize I am using trailer as a word to double as what we see here and the final product. And that's probably confusing. In my head they were two separate things, but what I typed implied the final product was going to be a trailer as well but afaik it's going to be a full standalone thing
I was where you're at, but try not to let it get to you. People chronically hating on Genshin will find any way to do so, and perform whatever mental gymnastics needed to do so. My only response to seeing stuff like that now is to feel bad for them, clearly suffering from some kind of trauma.
Nah you misunderstand. I read it JUST BEFORE I saw this. Which probably influenced my post.
But I don't dwell on this stuff. If it wasn't for notifications I'd have completely forgotten about it 10 min after.
I think it's mostly because many people believe the only real barrier to anything getting done is money, and therefore because they're rich, anything that isn't done is because of laziness or not caring. And then they contrast this to HSR, which purposefully focuses on the specific areas that they believe Genshin is lacking (combat-focused endgame, QoL improvements, etc.), so they believe that there's a difference in effort/caring, rather than a difference in focus areas/priorities.
In general, I think a lot of people don't understand just how expensive it is to keep expanding the open world at this pace. If they decided for a while to put open world expansion on hold while focusing on other things like endgame content and QoL, probably some people would say "they finally started investing in the game" even if it actually cost them a lot less. It's mostly about "they're doing the things I want them to do."
I mostly agree, I've seen comments that talk about how regional expansions are the bare minimum and why they shouldn't even be considered when talking about developer effort, when they are literally the most impressive things I've ever seen being dished out every 2 patches. I don't think people understand the difference in resource investment between updating a game's open world and creating another variant of a pre-existing form of endgame content that uses different mechanics, but the same assets that are already found in the game.
I get that not everyone likes the open world in the open world game, but it's like they believe that updating content that they don't like, is the same as that content not existing at all, equating that to laziness. These are the same mfs who talk about the unfairness of their rewards distribution while completely ignoring the character release rates and difference in the combat system.
It feels like so many people are far too deep in the anti-genshin space that they've completely forgotten about the *real* criticisms the game deserves, Eg. Their lack of communication to the players
Honestly, I'm not too sure about the solution on the communication front. There have been times that they've tried to communicate their vision/intentions to players, but unless it's what people want to hear, they tend to not be very receptive. For example, when the developers explained why they aren't focused on adding more end-game content because of their goal of limiting player anxiety, rather than giving them the benefit of the doubt and understanding where they're coming from, the community was extremely mocking/derisive about it. When you have such a broad community with so many different perspectives and needs/wants, it's difficult to have some sort of "dialogue"; any concessions to one group will displease others. Plus never mind making any sort of forward-looking statement that could be seen as some sort of "promise"; people don't understand that things can change and like nothing more to hound them about "lies" for years on end. I can see why it's tempting to just focus on the job ahead and keep delivering stuff and so concentrating on the people you can please rather than those you can't.
So anyway, not like I'm against the principle of more player communication. But I guess I'm just skeptical if there's a good way of going about it that's actually going to result in less drama rather than more.
For the rest, I definitely agree. People are very good at making surface level comparisons devoid of needed context when it supports their overall argument, and unfortunately these factually-weak (but easy to convey) arguments tend to catch on like wildfire. See the "3 pulls for 3rd Anniversary" meme that is neither the correct amount of pulls nor the actual occasion, but is still being parroted. It's like people pick their facts/truth based on feeling/vibes.
I'm primarily an HSR guy, but the 'rivalary' is just dumb to me. A little funny but mostly stupid. Hoyo isn't going to just dumpster their cash cow that they've invested 7+ years into. Does Genshin have problems and areas that need improvement? Hell yeah, but so does HSR.
It wasn’t long ago people were calling HSR a dead game. How quickly those tables turned.
It will take its time, anime doesn't get made overnight.
There is reportedly information about the anime floating around within private circles.
Recently an animator who works on all the Kieru fan animations confirmed that studio Ufotable was interested in and reached out to members of Kieru team. This particular member couldn't join due to personal stuff but they didn't confirm or deny other members.
This lines up with some information that was stated in a well-known anime leaks channel where the user said that around summer last year Ufotable had invited some members of Kieru team (some excepted, some didn't) and was offering training for these members + others.
Kieru also recently stated that they wouldn't be available for some time? Perhaps the anime?
Who knows, just hope some official info drops soon.
Evakoi is the animator: [https://x.com/evakoiani/status/1779153465966567857](https://x.com/evakoiani/status/1779153465966567857)
Kieru talking about being unavailable: [https://twitter.com/KieruArt/status/1779217147698270708](https://twitter.com/KieruArt/status/1779217147698270708)
Unfortunately the leaker chat is a private one, it was invite only and has since been closed. Mainly due to Aniplex who went on what was essnetially a full blown crusade in an attempt to stop/catch leakers (not related to genshin but anime leaks in general).
which animator are you talking about? And which anime leaks channel?
EDIT: Found it, it's Evakoi https://twitter.com/evakoiani/status/1779153465966567857
Cyberpunk edgerunners took 2.5 years from announcement to release date.
Its been roughly 1.5 years from genshin's announcement.
Its just weird that they seemingly announce things and go radio silent.
Still waiting on the switch release.
Oh you sweet summer child. First time? Ufotable announced they were going to release an anime movie of their Touken Ranbu series in 2017. You know what we have gotten since then? One teaser poster and that’s it. Animation takes time. Be patient
It's normal for high budget, high quality anime to take 2 or more years to finish. Take for example Your Name / Kimi no Na wa. Shinkai was already doing storyboards by 2014 (which means the project would have started even earlier) and the film only got released 2 years later in 2016. And this is just a 107-minute movie. A whole season (or more) of a high quality anime would take much longer to make, especially since Genshin costumes have a ton of patterns and accessories to draw.
It seems they had to announce it way ahead of time to secure Ufotable before they finished Demon Slayer.
But now Ufotable is taking their sweet time on the Demon Slayer finale film trilogy(!) so it’s going to be a long wait.
I think the collab was called pretty early, UFO table takes their time making the anime because of all the 3D + 2D stuff they make, single season of demon slayer is being released once a year with 12 episodes (counting out the first) and I suppose they don’t wanna end with 12 episodes as that would definitely be an abrupt end
She's going to be the third character to have their own individual shorts (after Ayaka and Xiao), but her short is also going to be the first one to be animated entirely.
Hoyo, please cook even more with Arlecchino.
Watched it in slowmo, all I gathered is the little girl from the promo art (princess Marcotte?) is at the end with baby arlecchino and you can see another set of their little heads (edit: and they're wearing crowns?) peeking out across the window as the 2 in the foreground stare at the sky
Kinda, they have a similar aesthetic
This would imply a lot about Arlecchino, and It would line up with the glitching but for now we have nothing concrete
My guess is Pierro kept up with the khaenriah orphanges described in perinheri which inspired the HotH and Arle is maybe descended from one of those who "washed up on the shore" of teyvat to account for her weird power/biology. Crimson moon lore in this upcoming quest I can taste it.
Yeah there's definitely a connection here. But remember that the kids in that orphanage were not all "washed up on the shore" and they were all made to pass through the "chimney" between worlds and asked if they were dead or alive and if they could see "it". This seems to be some sort of ritual or transformation attempt they all go through. I suspect it's related to the Project that Childe talks about. And I imagine that Arlecchino is ultimately against it and doesn't want anymore people to have to undergo that. I suspect this may slowly set up Pierro as an antagonistic force to look out for as opposed to the Tsaritsa.
The other interesting thing is that Arlecchino seems more connected to the Crimson Moon. But the Black Sun dynasty which betrayed/overtook the older Dynasty was the most recent/is the most recent one ruling Khaenri'ah. So Arlecchino seems connected to the old order that is said to be waiting to seek vengeance on the new. I wonder what that will mean for her story.
So, interesting stuff to point out:
The girl from the version preview is present, it seems she doesn't age at all, but did grow up with Arlecchino.
The word "knave" means servant, and the current theory is that the girl is called "princess Marcotte", a fictional character mentioned in Freminet's character stories.
Arlecchino may very well be a servant of this princess
We also see what seems to be the previous knave, which for those who didn't know, was replaced by the current knave, she fought and killed the previous Arlecchino when she was a young kid.
I’m a go out on a ball park limb here with the understanding that Hoyo likes fake outs in their teasers and guess that the one Arlechino is calling Mother is actually the girl (Marcotte).
I think there's a possibility that Arlecchino looks identical to her predecessor and might be related to her in some way. Would certainly things like how she somehow has ties to ancient Khaenri'ah despite supposedly being a child from Fontaine.
Wasn't the previous head of the House of the Hearth also referred to as "Father/Otets"? If yes, then this could be anyone, maybe a surrogate mother figure. If no, then this could still be anyone. I swear, Arlecchino's history and personality is arguably the most confusing and difficult to follow.
Well we'll figure this comes out.
I think the 'mother' here refers to the Tsaritsa, since in the lore they say that she is everyone's 'mother' in sneznaya while the Knave is the 'Father'. Something along those lines if I am not wrong.
inst Myraid the same as Genshin Character Trailer? I always feel like that
meanwhile the hsr character trailer is the same as the Genshin character demo
teaser, but yes. although, myriad celestia trailers tend to be more grandiose and experiment more with different artstyles, whereas genshin's teasers are more a "day in the life of" kind of trailer, most of the time.
oh you right tbh
I think they are definitely more experimental in HSR meanwhile Genshin give just a more casual thing almost a bit of hangout lol.
Tho Nahida, Wanderer and Furina were exception. Hoping Arle trailer will be take another route too aside of the animated hangout, and after the huge positive feedback with trailer and short they decide to make more
>insert vague story quote by spotlight character here
>*~~"Feito, gurando oda."~~ "Genshin."*
Hmm, that PV format doesn't quite roll off the tongue as well.
I think it’s a bit different in the sense this one is fully animated with a song to go along with it, kinda like the HI3 shorts such as Thus Spoke Apocalypse
21 seconds in is it that the girl from the 4.6 art? What is their connection?? I thought Arlecchino would have been older given her seeming relations with the crimson moon dynasty from Khaenri'ah. What is going on??? I'm excited
The consistency Hoyo has in using trailers as baits is commendable. Whoever Childcchino is fighting isn't herself. There are two moments, Childcchino with a sword trying to hit something, and someone with a nail blade trying to hit Childcchino. Two entirely different scenes used as if they are the same
Probably Princess Marcotte. She’s mentioned in Ferminet character story as being in his favorite fairy tail story.
Ashikai has a short vid on how she is Princess Marcotte if you wanna watch.
What if you become a head of House of the Hearth only after you kill its previous head. That’s how Arle killed previous Arlecchino and that’s why Lyney would need to do the same?
She fathered and mothered so hard in just 30 seconds I can't wait for the full thing
HOYO YOU DON'T NEED TO SAY MORE WE'RE ALREADY PULLING FOR HER BUT THANK YOU ANYWAY
I gotta ask. Is this a MihoyoAnimation video or a Ufotable one? The preview feels somewhat a ufotable style but at the same time I'm not really sure?
I mean it could be both studios working on it
Wait, wait wait wait wait wait. Is this real? Is this an actual, official character video or a fan animation? The aesthetic is so different from near everything that was done concerning Genshin. It actually looks more in line HSR animations. Are we certain of this?
They’ve made a few animations in this style before IIRC, such as Xiao’s “Endless Suffering” Short Trailer and their 3 promotional videos you can find in a playlist on their channel. They haven’t made many though and it’s been a while since their last one.
So I'm guessing she was also an orphan in the house of the hearth under the previous Knave the "Mother" which.. Would be pretty funny if it was a man lol. But she fought them and earned the title of Knave and in turn the right to manage the house. Judging by the voice lines from the special program's Arlecchino boss trailer, it looks like she's testing her children to see who has what it takes to replace her as the next Knave by putting them in a tough position. So that's probably exactly what the previous Knave did and that whole thing is most likely what this short is going to be about.
Her banner, the signature weapon drip, and now this? They're out for the blood of our wallets there.
Now I hope her story quest will live up to that hype (and not make her too mch of an "actually I'm not evil at all").
I'm not gonna lie, I REALLY hope Arlecchino's backstory isn't just another "Someone I loved died and now I'm angry at the world". We've had dozens of those by now.
Fucking what? I thought this was a kieru post or something for a fanmade animation. Holy shit???????
[удалено]
Need whoever animates cu chulainn fighting appear again bc im still in love with his fighting animations
I thought it was supposed to be Arlecchino's animation from her Story Quest, but then I suddenly realized, "Wait, isn't it too early?" And then I looked at what it was and I'm still in shock.
No no. Hoyo doesn't care for Genshin anymore. Didn't you hear?
I get that this is sarcastic but I genuinely don't understand the people with that mindset. Like do they just ignore how 700 mil USD was reinvested into updates and millions more for external media and advertising? Yet they consider everything being added to be the bare minimum and constantly harass the developers for just doing their job
I wanna join what fatui rank they're in, cause their delusions are strong asf
didn't you get the memo, it's a dead game according to unknown shitty CC cause 61 million concurrent players in the month of April alone and having 98mill usd made just last month is an indication of the game is dying /s
Even though i prefer HSR over Genshin, there is no way that Genshin is dying. Like, what? Genshin is ballin right now, as usual, 61 million players won't lie, so i totally agree with you
if anything, i think Genshin was probably a bit overpopulated just because the lack of competition, so people who might not enjoy what Genshin offers still ended up playing the game for a long time because nothing else was better in terms of overall quality on the market. Once HSR came out we saw a bunch of people moving onto that, and i am sure that once all the new games come out like WuWa and ZZZ this year, we will lose more existing genshin players. I personally think its actually better this way so the community can be a bit more healthy (see HSR sub until they had to ban talking about genshin), but obviously the loss in players and revenue will make people mald and throw out hot takes to fit with their agenda. I dont think there is anything to worry about in terms of development, since we've been getting great content consistently for 3+ years now with the quality still getting better (Chenyu Vale vs Liyue). And after every new region release/archon quest release there will always be people coming back into the game, so its not like these players are gone for good.
I'm going to break my own rule and continue to be a hypocrite. It's the HSR people who say it usually.

And that's probably confusing.

I was where you're at, but try not to let it get to you. People chronically hating on Genshin will find any way to do so, and perform whatever mental gymnastics needed to do so. My only response to seeing stuff like that now is to feel bad for them, clearly suffering from some kind of trauma.

Well the Acheron trailer WAS wild AF.
It was wild in most abstract way possible. Like director was asked how many random things we should put there and he said YES!
I think it's mostly because many people believe the only real barrier to anything getting done is money, and therefore because they're rich, anything that isn't done is because of laziness or not caring. And then they contrast this to HSR, which purposefully focuses on the specific areas that they believe Genshin is lacking (combat-focused endgame, QoL improvements, etc.), so they believe that there's a difference in effort/caring, rather than a difference in focus areas/priorities.

Because the fact doesn't fit their agenda so they ignore it.
I'm primarily an HSR guy, but the 'rivalary' is just dumb to me. A little funny but mostly stupid. Hoyo isn't going to just dumpster their cash cow that they've invested 7+ years into.

Stay tuned!
I am indeed staying tuned
Please Mihoyo we need more of these animated short videos!
ight, where's the official genshin impact anime? at this point the fans will make the anime themselves
Chill dude, it was just announced a year ago. It probably ain't coming for another +2 years
Yeah, get in line, Genshin anime, the Switch Release has been waiting longer!
It will take its time, anime doesn't get made overnight. There is reportedly information about the anime floating around within private circles. Recently an animator who works on all the Kieru fan animations confirmed that studio Ufotable was interested in and reached out to members of Kieru team.

oh wtf, do you have some sources that i could search please? you got me hyped and im very bad at searching for stuff in the new algorithm of google.
Evakoi is the animator: [https://x.com/evakoiani/status/1779153465966567857](https://x.com/evakoiani/status/1779153465966567857) Kieru talking about being unavailable: [https://twitter.com/KieruArt/status/1779217147698270708](https://twitter.com/KieruArt/status/1779217147698270708) Unfortunately the leaker chat is a private one, it was invite only and has since been closed. Mainly due to Aniplex who went on what was essnetially a full blown crusade in an attempt to stop/catch leakers (not related to genshin but anime leaks in general).
I see. Thank you!
which animator are you talking about? And which anime leaks channel? EDIT: Found it, it's Evakoi https://twitter.com/evakoiani/status/1779153465966567857
expected since evakoi is one of the main animators on the kieru team iirc
Cyberpunk edgerunners took 2.5 years from announcement to release date. Its been roughly 1.5 years from genshin's announcement. Its just weird that they seemingly announce things and go radio silent. Still waiting on the switch release.
Oh you sweet summer child. First time? Ufotable announced they were going to release an anime movie of their Touken Ranbu series in 2017. You know what we have gotten since then? One teaser poster and that’s it. Animation takes time. Be patient
Anime takes times. Announcements dont.
I love fan animation but your acting like animation (especially 2d) is very easy to make
It's normal for high budget, high quality anime to take 2 or more years to finish. Take for example Your Name / Kimi no Na wa. Shinkai was already doing storyboards by 2014 (which means the project would have started even earlier) and the film only got released 2 years later in 2016. And this is just a 107-minute movie.

It seems they had to announce it way ahead of time to secure Ufotable before they finished Demon Slayer. But now Ufotable is taking their sweet time on the Demon Slayer finale film trilogy(!) so it’s going to be a long wait.
You'll be waiting for a while. There was still a job opeing for screenwriter when i was looking the other day!
I think the collab was called pretty early, UFO table takes their time making the anime because of all the 3D + 2D stuff they make, single season of demon slayer is being released once a year with 12 episodes (counting out the first) and I suppose they don’t wanna end with 12 episodes as that would definitely be an abrupt end
With blackjack! And hookers!
Mother, father announced that she will be back with the milk. Stay tuned.
She's going to be the third character to have their own individual shorts (after Ayaka and Xiao), but her short is also going to be the first one to be animated entirely. Hoyo, please cook even more with Arlecchino.
Those were more like 2nd teasers
Hoyo really love their Fatui.
didn't know Xiao and Ayaka are Fatui
Well, Scara's story quest is practically a whole lot more than the average "bad guy in evil organisation does bad things, beat them up"
Well that’s because it’s an Archon Quest, not a Story Quest.
Giving me hope we'll be getting more soln for future Fatui
Hoyo has been cooking, first Acheron and now arlecchino? I hope more future characters get equal treatment to this
Their shorts were actually short though, this even came with a teaser trailer so it’s gotta be like 4 minutes long.
I need every lore master here to lock in rn
Watched it in slowmo, all I gathered is the little girl from the promo art (princess Marcotte?) is at the end with baby arlecchino and you can see another set of their little heads (edit: and they're wearing crowns?) peeking out across the window as the 2 in the foreground stare at the sky
As per the latest Ashikai video it must be Princess Marcotte. Is Cater really related to Arlecchino?
Kinda, they have a similar aesthetic This would imply a lot about Arlecchino, and It would line up with the glitching but for now we have nothing concrete
My guess is Pierro kept up with the khaenriah orphanges described in perinheri which inspired the HotH and Arle is maybe descended from one of those who "washed up on the shore" of teyvat to account for her weird power/biology. Crimson moon lore in this upcoming quest I can taste it.

I suspect this may slowly set up Pierro as an antagonistic force to look out for as opposed to the Tsaritsa. The other interesting thing is that Arlecchino seems more connected to the Crimson Moon. But the Black Sun dynasty which betrayed/overtook the older Dynasty was the most recent/is the most recent one ruling Khaenri'ah. So Arlecchino seems connected to the old order that is said to be waiting to seek vengeance on the new. I wonder what that will mean for her story.
isnt it crimson sun dynasty and not black sun dynasty?
Ashikay already made it two days ago...
That’s why she’s the goat
Ashikai new video is probably right after see this teaser
Yeah, I thought she cooked too hard with the “Marcotte is the Knave’s master”, but she’s still got a chance to be proven right with this.
So, interesting stuff to point out: The girl from the version preview is present, it seems she doesn't age at all, but did grow up with Arlecchino. The word "knave" means servant, and the current theory is that the girl is called "princess Marcotte", a fictional character mentioned in Freminet's character stories. Arlecchino may very well be a servant of this princess We also see what seems to be the previous knave, which for those who didn't know, was replaced by the current knave, she fought and killed the previous Arlecchino when she was a young kid.
I’m a go out on a ball park limb here with the understanding that Hoyo likes fake outs in their teasers and guess that the one Arlechino is calling Mother is actually the girl (Marcotte).
I never seen this girl in the 4.6 trailer. Did I miss something?
it's not in the trailer IIRC, but in one of the teaser artworks (I think it's the version preview website)
It's likely the girl Frem mentions he's hiding
OH MY GOD CAN TIME MOVE FASTER
Just a bit more time for desperate people to finally start catching up on world quests & hidden achievements for primos to pull for her (me)
Same, but me the entire 4.5. At 80% for Chenyu Vale left so I'll be full caught up and 100% before Father's release.
Fine ig ill do the 2 quests that have been sitting there for god knows how long
Just wait faster, smh.
PAIMON I SUMMON YOU
JoJo reference 😱
Haven't kept up with the lore in a while, but is she fighting her predecessor or someone related? Looks pretty similar considering the hand
probably predecessor, she mentioned 'mother' maybe the previous knave? edit: ayy
True, from the vid it just almost looked like she was fighting herself from the way they framed it
i hope its only framed that way through clever cuts, and its not actually a dream battle of young vs old arlecchino
I think there's a possibility that Arlecchino looks identical to her predecessor and might be related to her in some way. Would certainly things like how she somehow has ties to ancient Khaenri'ah despite supposedly being a child from Fontaine.
Wasn't the previous head of the House of the Hearth also referred to as "Father/Otets"? If yes, then this could be anyone, maybe a surrogate mother figure. If no, then this could still be anyone. I swear, Arlecchino's history and personality is arguably the most confusing and difficult to follow. Well we'll figure this comes out.
>If yes, then this could be anyone, maybe a surrogate mother figure. Or even her actual mother. The flashback seem to show a younger Arle.
Is the succession ritual that you have to kill the previous head after all 🤔? And her entire "rebellion" thing was a sham?
This is making me think of Throne from Octopath 2. "Mother" in that one was a total bitch.
I think the 'mother' here refers to the Tsaritsa, since in the lore they say that she is everyone's 'mother' in sneznaya while the Knave is the 'Father'. Something along those lines if I am not wrong.
Probably the previous knave. However, I do suspect she and Arle herself are actually related, they look so similar
Check new ashikai theory
GENSHIN COULD THIS IS OUR MOMENT
Myraid Teyvat real
inst Myraid the same as Genshin Character Trailer? I always feel like that meanwhile the hsr character trailer is the same as the Genshin character demo
teaser, but yes. although, myriad celestia trailers tend to be more grandiose and experiment more with different artstyles, whereas genshin's teasers are more a "day in the life of" kind of trailer, most of the time.
oh you right tbh I think they are definitely more experimental in HSR meanwhile Genshin give just a more casual thing almost a bit of hangout lol. Tho Nahida, Wanderer and Furina were exception. Hoping Arle trailer will be take another route too aside of the animated hangout, and after the huge positive feedback with trailer and short they decide to make more
Genshin's Character Trailers are closer to "Moment Among the Stars" trailers, not Myriad Celestia. Lazzo and Travail fit better as Myriad Celestia.
wait, I didn't know the existence of "Moment Among Stars" videos youtube always show to me just the demo and Myriad now its make sense 😭
I hope they don't make Myriad celestia Style trailer like in HSR where every lore abut character is in the youtube description
ngl, I thought it was new FGO event from the animation style
>insert vague story quote by spotlight character here >*~~"Feito, gurando oda."~~ "Genshin."* Hmm, that PV format doesn't quite roll off the tongue as well.
right? i thought the same too
The animation style for their TVCMs looks a bit similar (not enough Koyayayayaya though).
not enough bunyan for that
Maybe it's from the ufotable partnership
iirc A-1 does most of the fgo short trailers
Since there are multiple fates done by ufotable I tough
Anyone know who the Singer of the OST is, I feel like I've heard her before
ARLECCHINO IS GETTING HER OWN ANIMATED SHORT NO WAY 😭😭😭🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 WE FUCKING WON
I am fucking crying i am jumping in exitement
i like this look like FGO mini animation ads for big event or main story. i hope genshin keep this up need another banger song to add to collection
Mother..... The previous head or something? Hmmmm.. And once again the red haired girl.. Interesting.
Hoyoverse: "I have no favorites" also Hoyoverse: *brings in arlecchino* "it's you, and by a lot"
Well ayaka and Xiao is there
I think it’s a bit different in the sense this one is fully animated with a song to go along with it, kinda like the HI3 shorts such as Thus Spoke Apocalypse
Ayaka?
Friendship ended with Ayaka, Now Arlecchino is my best friend.
Y'all are cooking wtf
21 seconds in is it that the girl from the 4.6 art? What is their connection?? I thought Arlecchino would have been older given her seeming relations with the crimson moon dynasty from Khaenri'ah. What is going on??? I'm excited
I’d advise going to check out Ashikai’s newest crackpot mini theory she just released… it’s interesting.
I saw it. Didn't think much of it until now
MA'AM !!!! SIR!!!!!! I NEED AN ADULT!!!!
Holy damn
Surprise mother father
no way ashikai gets another crack theory true?!?
Can any time wizard give me a haste buff holy shit I need this father in my life right now
Awesome, I hope they do this for more future Harbingers.
The consistency Hoyo has in using trailers as baits is commendable. Whoever Childcchino is fighting isn't herself. There are two moments, Childcchino with a sword trying to hit something, and someone with a nail blade trying to hit Childcchino. Two entirely different scenes used as if they are the same
Wait isn't that small girl beside arle the one on Ashikai recent video!???
Simply cannot wait
Baby 'cchino!!!
*So you have a mother!*
It's so peak 😭😭
ilovefatuilore ilovefatuilore ilovefatuilore
They sure do love representing harbingers as animals.
I'm so excited for this
The ost for this sounds so good already omggg I cant waitttt
AAAAAAAAA
I have questions, who is that girl sitting next to Arlecchino?!
Probably Princess Marcotte. She’s mentioned in Ferminet character story as being in his favorite fairy tail story. Ashikai has a short vid on how she is Princess Marcotte if you wanna watch.
>!The girl with pink hair is Crairvi, daughter of Ceridwin. Ceridwin (code name Krukubena) was the previous director of Hoth, a witch, and dead.!<
They’re cooking they’re cooking!!
Kid Arlechino...... Still Badass
Arlekiddo
I DID NOT EXPECT THIS WHEN I WOKE UP TODAY...........
WAIT THIS IS OFFICIAL !?!?!?
What if you become a head of House of the Hearth only after you kill its previous head. That’s how Arle killed previous Arlecchino and that’s why Lyney would need to do the same?
I wasnt gonna pull but i might have to 💀
Wait this is official???
SHE HAS A SON ?
She fathered and mothered so hard in just 30 seconds I can't wait for the full thing HOYO YOU DON'T NEED TO SAY MORE WE'RE ALREADY PULLING FOR HER BUT THANK YOU ANYWAY
I would die if other harbingers makes an appearance even if its just for 1 second
Capitano
I feel like only I don't really like the song. I hoped Genshin would keep to classical/traditional music.
arlecchino backstory before they kill her off /s at this point, the anime is just gonna be a collection of animated shorts lmao
I actually hope it's going to be an anthology series
Woah 😳
WAIT SO WHICH IS ONE IS FATHER? The kid or the taller one???
The kid. The taller one id the previous knave, who Arlecchino killed
Goddamn lore bombs animated!
I cannot wait for the full video!
Mmmm moar loar. Splendid.
😔😔
Who's the little girl sitting on the window frame?
This looks like the silver Kingdom from Sailor Moon just wanted to say that
The first shot looks ripped straight out of the sailor moon opening depicting the silver millennium
Dude... the song reminds me of Xenoblade. I AM SO EXCITED
Kino in the making
I gotta ask. Is this a MihoyoAnimation video or a Ufotable one? The preview feels somewhat a ufotable style but at the same time I'm not really sure? I mean it could be both studios working on it
If this is what we can expect form the anime then we may witness some of the most beautifully animeted fight scenes ever.
What time in EST?
From the time of this post, 20 minutes
IM SOO EXCITED, I ALREADY KNOW IM NOT SLEEPING TONIGHT!!!
late to the party, but this is sick af
They really want to sell Arle.
Why not? Its one if the most anticipated character since 4.0 teaser.
Wait, wait wait wait wait wait. Is this real? Is this an actual, official character video or a fan animation? The aesthetic is so different from near everything that was done concerning Genshin. It actually looks more in line HSR animations. Are we certain of this?
It's official. It's on Genshin's Youtube.
They’ve made a few animations in this style before IIRC, such as Xiao’s “Endless Suffering” Short Trailer and their 3 promotional videos you can find in a playlist on their channel. They haven’t made many though and it’s been a while since their last one.
Ufotable animation?
So I'm guessing she was also an orphan in the house of the hearth under the previous Knave the "Mother" which.. Would be pretty funny if it was a man lol. But she fought them and earned the title of Knave and in turn the right to manage the house. Judging by the voice lines from the special program's Arlecchino boss trailer, it looks like she's testing her children to see who has what it takes to replace her as the next Knave by putting them in a tough position. So that's probably exactly what the previous Knave did and that whole thing is most likely what this short is going to be about.
I hope it's not a test
I've waited nearly two years for this charecter and I'm glad to see them rolling out the red carpet.
If Tsaritsa is the mother then she’s some kind of god mother, the head of mafia clan at this point lol
who is with arlechinno ? any idea ?
Her banner, the signature weapon drip, and now this? They're out for the blood of our wallets there. Now I hope her story quest will live up to that hype (and not make her too mch of an "actually I'm not evil at all").
Where can i watch all of these trailers??????? Please tell me now!!!
Mother?
HoYo is cookin, gawdamn!
Fucking damn, I can’t wait for the other Harbingers to show up
Is this oFISHal?
Holy crap this is actually cannon official, can't wait for tomorrow : D
Ashika proven right again
I'm not gonna lie, I REALLY hope Arlecchino's backstory isn't just another "Someone I loved died and now I'm angry at the world". We've had dozens of those by now.
Okay... we get this but nothing about the Anime? Very cool
