  1. The underwater area of fontaine is incredible tbh, no oxygen limiter down there. And its quite vast too, with caves and underground areas and such. I found it very calming and peaceful while exploring it.

  2. 5:25 The lady you see standing on the right behind Neuvillette in the artwork is actually the Archon. All Archons after Liyue are confirmed to be female via the Travail trailer. There have been strong hints that Neuvillette is the dragon of water reincarnated into a human form though so I'll be interesting to see what becomes of that in 4.1 now that we're getting his lore and story quest.

  3. Neuvillette is not the archon, the real archon is the girl with white hair and blue clothes who, from the beginning of Fontaine's first trailer, revealed herself as Focalor

  4. Joe Is my fav vA currently I always try to attuned to his streams when I can ever since I heard him voice Claude. He’s so hilarious and an. Uplifting spirited guy. Also his character theme slaps I love that steam punk metal clanking vibes it’s so perfect. Is there another term for that type of music?

  5. Neuvillette isn't archon but heavily implied he's a being that puts the Hydro Archon to shame. Which sucks since if canonically he is stronger than Furina, his playable character kit should make him more valuable than her but since she's archon, they'll put a cracked kit on a character that's subpar in the story.

  6. Neuvillette is Archons babysitter, the archon is the lady near him in the art.
    As for travler and Paimon being invicible ? not really they get their asses kicked allot like most of the time and Paimon has some really phobia of Tavler leaving her after certain point in the game

  7. To me, Neuvillette feels like the protagonist in this trailer lol ''is he the Archon'' no but you wouldn't be the first one to think so. It was also confirmed in the special program that Neuvillette doesn't really form close relationships with others, so you were right with that.
    The shot of Wriothesley you liked so much at 7:30 is actually his burst animation, so gonna be seeing that one a lot

    The character with X eyes is Arlecchino. Not sure if her eyes have any special power or so, but if I remember correctly MarcoMeatball said the original character of Arlecchino has a mask (?) with X for eyes or something along those lines. I think he called it like a shout-out to Commedia dell'arte.

  8. I think the things that interest me most in this trailer, with the way they've set it up, are
    1. Obviously, the shot of Neuvillette blocking something (most likely water from the Primordial Sea), especially since the editing gives me this vibe that this will be a big moment for him as a person. The shots of him in the desaturated environments give me a feeling of him looking back on the past, since the scenes we've had of him explaining what the trial revealed about how a crime happened have him walking in a desaturated environment.

    2. The line "You know those pipes that make strange sounds? Don't ever, ever go near them at night." It's so ominous, and of course, it indicates that there's something bad in the pipes. But why only avoid them at night? Why are they not dangerous during the day? Or is it because most people are sleeping at night, so if something happens to you, you're less likely to be saved?

  9. One thing that makes me upset with some people in the community is that they just look at this as a game and forget it's a work of art. There's so much professional, artistic skill put into the whole game, from the trailers and music to the character designs and the lore. It's all highly artistic. I just wish more people took the time to observe and appreciate that.

    As for your accuracy, I think you got it, especially when you said that Neuvillette has to be impartial to his judgments. That is exactly what the creators have said so good job on getting that!

  10. You didn't really pay attention to the trailer, did you? Neuvillette said he will place FALSE CHARGES on the Traveler and Paimon so they can secretly investigate the prison. Those mugshots, and them being put to jail are all part of a plan.

  11. Aww…you didn't go back to the shot that you said you definitely wanted to talk about later, the moment when Wriothesley is on the run and does that super cool drop roll from the ceiling. 🙁

  12. The character whose name you forgot is Arlecchino, "the Knave", one of the Fatui Harbingers (presumed no.10). There's no information yet about her eyes. She's a complex character – deeply evil in some ways (she runs a child-soldier 'orphanage') but also apparently motivated to save Fontaine.

  13. Neuvillette is sadly not the archon, the girl (mentioned as Focalors by Arlecchino- white haired girl in the 4.1 picture) with blues and heterochromatic eyes is. She's quite mysterious, and I can't wait to find out her lore. Super excited for 4.1!

  14. Arlechino's crossed out eyes is a reference to the arlechino in the opera "comedia del arte" who's mask has very small eyes in the opera so hoyo gave arlechino crossed out eyes in genshin
    (Theres no confirmation lorewise why she has crossed out eyes,we only now about the vomedia del arte thing)

  15. When I had originally watched this trailer, I thought it was something straight out of a movie, especially in the first half with the Fortress of Meropide (the prison the Traveler goes to).
    Funnily enough, I've been theorizing that the upcoming plot for Fontaine (i.e for Acts 3 & 4) will have something akin to Escape Plan, a prison film starring Sylvestor Stallone and Arnold Schwartznegger where both try to escape from an impossible/Supermax prison. Also, both use fake identities (Portos & Rotthmayer respectfully) while at the prison, one of which has false charges that were put on in an attempt to get into the prison. Sound familiar?

  16. The moment Neuvillette's character card(?) pops up and the e-guitar starts playing just gets me so friggin hyped Every. Single. Time.
    There were some other good trailers, but I really think this one is my favorite so far. I'm chomping at the bit to actually play the new archon quest, one more week of waiting 😭

  17. Arlecchino is interesting, we started to get info about her back in 2.X but Fontaine is where the in-game units actually know her. She's also a child of the House of Hearth and killed the former director of the House before becoming the Knave/Arlecchino as a Harbinger. She too is a child soldier who has taken over running the House of Hearth and although not changing the nature of the House (creating Fatui agents and spies) she asks that her 'children' take better care of themselves during missions and too evaluate their self-worth and pride. Arlecchino is also referred to as "Father" when talking about her and the House of Heart by the orphans.
