In this video I react, and share my thoughts about Citlali’s Genshin Impact character teaser ‘Her Colors’. Absolutely beautiful, these character teasers never stop improving and I am here for it. This is hands down my favorite thus far.

This was absolutely amazing. Granny Itztli is everything. I… I just… wow.
Did you enjoy this as much as I did?
They really said, "here's something adorable, beautifully profound, and sad. Merry Christmas."
Her EN VA specifically is a favorite of mine. Her performance added so much more nuance to her character for me, making me love her even more.
Animation wise, this is also my current favorite of the character teasers so far too. They really improved a lot.
Happy holidays. Make sure to take time for yourself!
damn hoyo, i already watch this many times but……………i cant stop crying TT_TT
I might be wrong, but it seems like each tribe is an amalgam of tribal societies in real life. I like the Nahuatl names like Xilonen . It always sounded neat to me.
Citlali is fairly obviously the most flawed character in Genshin Impact, and is easily the most well written so far; (Genshin actually does have many well written characters at this point, and she's not unique in being well written in Natlan).
All of this is to say that this teaser is the first piece of canon Genshin has made that actually shows how old she really is (the game keeps you guessing up to now).
I enjoyed your reaction and analysis of Citlali's Character Teaser. This teaser really pulled at my heartstrings. Splendid animation work and music.
Not Roschi getting rizzed by all the cryo characters in Teyvat😂
Yeah, she might be the first 5 star cryo character I want to pull. All the best if you are want to go for it 🙂
They’re taking after ZZZ teasers with these expressive animation in them I love it
What you are describing "acting like an old person" fits faruzan more , she got trapped for 100 years in stasis solving a ruin puzzle and when she came out the world moved on and she was considered a figure of legend(kinda like nikola tesla suddenly popping out of a cave) so she plays the role of an old person as a coping mechanism, her hangout and event appearences are really great
Definitely one of my favorite, if not my favorite Natlan character (too) (so far). In terms of combat, personality and design – all in all she's definitely up there. And this is a great teaser.
I am definitely also a sucker for hoyo working on the facial expressions (the pout is too cute. Though Mualanis XD is still my personal favorite).
Well last time I told you about Xilonen and her meaning, let me tell you about Citlali; it means Star in Nahuatl language, here in México we got this amphibian called Ajolote (Xólotl) it comes in many colors being pink the most cute one, like the character, these amphibians represents the Aztec (Mexica) God of Fire and Thunder when he transform in a salamander to avoid being sacrificed, but legends apart the true amazing thing about them is their ability to regenerate limbs and keep young all it's life in a phenomenon called "neotenia" where unlike salamanders, Xólotls don't go beyond the larvae phase, being young forever like the character, and being subject of longevity and regeneration studies, these magnificent animals are in dire extinction danger, because they are a expensive and exotic illegal dish, they are a symbol of Mexican culture even a mascot in my university, so here you go a little cultural exchange, keep shining crazy diamond.
hm… how weird… in the jp version of the trailer aether was voiced in the last scene
I watched it on JP dub, I love the JP more, plus this version is still on strike because I didn’t hear Aether’s voice
The way this teaser hit is similar to how pet lovers feel about their pets, it's likely that your pets will be gone before you(unless some unexpected incidents and you have a long living animal as a pet.)
This comparison is the same as 1 of the most popular anime that got released this year. (I won't specify in case of spoiler for the early part of that anime.)
Whenever people say "Why you do this, Hoyoverse?" I always go "First time?" I haven't gotten far in Natlan to see Citlali but from what I've seen, she's pretty interesting and I like her VA, Skyler Davenport(March 7th from Star Rail)
Definetly one of my Fac Character Teaser
Also the fact she is so happy about to meet someone like the Traveller that can live long without passing away so fast because of age.
Happy about it how normal everything on Youtube / Asia comment section is
Just the all time classic what you see on this 2 Platforms crying 24/7 (Twitter / Insta)
Hoyo trailers/teasers are ART. They are far too good for just an "ad for a character in a gacha game".
Classic tsundere moment. It's a shame the Traveler is voiceless here. The strike is annoying asf
They should've added the "Someone you know?" caption for mute Aether 😣
As a Cryo ambassador, what are your favorite Cryo four-stars so far?
Indeed best girl of Natlan, just wished she had her own patch instead running alongside the Pyro Archon (even if she's boring).
Wanted C2 for her, but its going to be expensive getting her, her weapon and Mavuika (with maybe weapon as they share the weapon banner). Will still try, but 240 pulls arent great for that.
Especially as they teased Skirk coming soon in either 5.6 or 5.7…
Btw the animation style the Genshin team uses for the teasers is called Live2D. It's the same technology VTubers use. As the technology and the people who use it has improved VTuber's models and stuff they can do has improved and it seems like the Genshin team hasn't fallen behind. They have definitely improved as well and I'm not sure, but it seems like they might be using regular 2D animation in some parts of it to enhance some moments. Which I think is really brilliant.
With regards to pulling. It's always hard. She will comeback sooner than Ganyu and Shenhe, but her banner is sooner than theirs which is also important. I don't know how many pulls you have, but 300 pulls should be enough to guarantee both Ganyu and Shenhe. If you have 80 more pulls to spare I would say you can throw them at her banner and if you get her great and if you don't you can save the guarantee for the next character you want or her rerun. Keep in mind G&S will be in the in the second phase so you'll just have more primos by then just from the dailies and welkin (so you can even go a bit below 300 pulls on Citlali's banner). Also second phase will be Lantern Rite. That's the time of year when Hoyo is generous with primos. Even if you don't do the story I'm guessing you'll still do the events for the rewards so that will be a good amount.
Of course ultimately that's just my advice. Interestingly enough Citlali will be good for you Arlecchino eventually, but since you're not building her soon as well there really isn't that much of a hurry to pull for her.
I had a friend in middle school who was good friends with my tech teacher. They were both lovable nerds and they did little creative video projects sometimes (Batman parody called Fatman). Teachers always have favorites I imagine it's kind of impossible to influence everyone equally. I think Citllali's teaser shows that dynamic well and it bringing up those memories I think is interesting.
Introspective ancient cryo ladies man…
I think Citlali might be one of Hoyo's favorites. She definitely seemed to get special treatment in the archon quest so far with lot of unique poses and facial expressions. I think I took close to 50 screen shots of her during the quest because she kept doing something different.
She definitely came out of nowhere for me. We first saw her briefly in the ignition teaser that introduced all the Natlan characters and I really didn't think much of her. Then we had to wait until 5.1 to actually meet her. I won't spoil anything, but the scene we meet her was one of my all time favorite character introductions, and I think I made the decision to eventually pull for her right then and there.
Anyway, glad to see you enjoyed this so much!
Time is the greatest enemy and unbearable
I agree with you and alot others in the comments with the Character Animation. So much expression in comparison to older ones. Somewhat a ZZZ-esque touch, which i really enjoy!
Others than that, I think it is such a well made Storytelling. You can show that to someone who has no idea about Genshin/Hoyo and you´ll definetly get a genuine heartful reaction.
I loved that symbolism that the shadow slowly reaches over the Graffiti.
Granny Itztli is another fine addition to my "Hard shell, soft inside" Collection. <3
And tbh i also call her from time to time"Citali" because i think one kinda stumbles over the "L" in the middle of her name. So no worries 😀
Edit.: Sometimes i think there is a bit of a pattern in Genshins Cryo-Lineup. All are somewhat distant/cold but really wholesome, i think =)
Man, I choked up when I heard that piano kicked in when that girl came back old. It's my favourite track from all the current 5 tribes' themes. I believe it's a remix of the current released album Eternal Sun, Eternal Want: Disc 1, track 4, Night's Crown of Flowers.
Hey happy christmas 🎄
gremlin granny > flaming hot cheeto
Personally I'm the least excited for citlali than any other natlan character so far, I just can't bring myself to be hyped for her or to pull her, her kit doesn't interest me, her design has been kind of meh since first seeing her and I'm not really a fan of how they market her to the shipping community. I liked her when she was first introduced, but the more time we spent with her the less I was interested her, but the trailer is still pretty and I think the VA does a fantastic job and I appreciate her lore significance, but that's just my opinion, it feels kinda weird to not be excited for something and be part of a community that is lol. Anyways, merry christmas roschi, if you celebrate it.
Citlali, AKA 'My Tsundere Granny Can't Be This Cute' .
Just highly biased,nothing more.Btw Mavuika and Citlali welcome home both in couple of days.MAWUIKA first
Me before watching Citlali teaser : Maquia and Frieren prepared me for this!!!
Me after : UGLY FOCKEN CRYING
This one hit me hard in the feels too, goodness. A beautiful teaser animation wise and agreed to it being one of the best outright
I watched the Pyro archon vid that came out before this one but this one made me cry. The passage of time really hits. The way they did it and her expressions were on point. I think the internet hates on her to much. Her vibe in the story gave off someone putting up a front and not showing her true self. I didn't get the vibe of her only simping for traveler. It felt more like she had found a friend she could get closer too that could understand the age struggle like her.
I think the event is where people got most of that but even then I didn't see it that way until a co-worker mentioned it and I was just like Really? I didn't get that vibe.
This video just solidifies my mindset and dang its painful to see what she has to go though.
I'm glad there's others out here that can see her actually character even if Hoyo does try other pushing a character marketing sometimes.
I love her. I absolutely love her. I honestly want to pull her more than Mavuika (I haven't even seen her gameplay yet. I dont care. She's a babe, that's all 😂)
