The character who is in the water is Freminet – a new character who is only in that shot. It's interesting because he was revealed to be a diver in Fontaine who seems to be really comfortable in the water. So him looking like he is drowning? Kinda scary. He is also a younger brother of the duo doing the show, Lyney (in red with hat) and Lynette (cat ears). These three were just advertised as the next new characters in 4.0 update. The woman with X eyes is Arlecchino (or ''The Knave'' as another title).
My theory, the traveller will be accused to kill the diving underwater boy. And they might keep by this new nation authority in jail and need to face trial in high court. Maybe they gonna get help from those magicians to escape the prison, to investigate the real truth. Or there will be a twist related to the perpetrator
Best part is, those aren't Arlecchino's gloves, thats just how her hands actually look. It reminds me of how witches are always portrayed with black fingers, but here its her entire hand
"One might say she pays too much attention or dotes on people too much… But while her actions can be flawed, I believe her sense of responsibility as Sumeru's deity to be a commendable thing. Ah, that the youngest of gods should be thus, while a certain other person, by contrast, should be so prone to hysterics… —Chief Justice Neuvillette of Fontaine" Seems like the Chief justice at end wouldn't remind replacing Nahida and Fusalor/Farina 🙂 When it makes the transition up from the sewers do you think that we get a glipse of Prison Bars, this is the nation of Justice. Do u think the guy with the little girl is blind, i think he's not able to get his proper drink and shes trying to help.
The drowning character (Freminet) seems to have some connection to Albedo, who is a kind of homunculus. The alchemist (named Gold) that created him is one of the "sinners" who's actions 500 years ago led to the cataclysm and the current war against the gods. But that drowning version maybe the first version of Albedo? We've seen two already, and it was hinted that there was another.
The moment at 3m 35s when she shoots the gun – the animation style of the electro bullet… where do you think that's inspired from? It looks totally different
the scene with the gun lady shooting towards the blonde with the parasoul gives me the vibe of a relationship between a detective and a lady phantom thief
In anime when it comes to the eyes, different shapes are usually used as a way to show a character's personality, they take the phrase "The eyes are the window to the soul" very seriously and add more flare to them.
I think the burning of the picture was supposed to be hinted that Arlecchino was burning it. The screen goes black after she snaps, then we see the photo burning from the bottom of the screen. The next character's comment about it being boring make me think that she knows Arlecchino is up to something, but isnt worried about it.
The whole theme with illusions and don’t trust what you see reminds me of the 1.1 event and the „the skies of teyvat are fake“, we have to get some lore on celestia
The girl burning the picture is furina/ focalors the hydro archon she's above neuvillette (character sitting on the throne) and he's kinda like her right hand man
I am glad you pointed out Arlecchino terrifying eye glow only few manage to notice that. I swear she is not even a human begin with or a human that turned into a demon like entity. Also not to mention her hands, many pointed out that she really has no gloves but thats her actual hand.
Been waiting for this I was wondering what affects they was using doing the Arrlechino spin around scenery my eyes caught it but I couldn't describe what it was.
Her name is not secret at all (note: we do not know her real name yet) and she's known as Arlecchino, also, quite interesting hands she have, first I thought that was gloves, but as more I rewatch this teaser, the more I notice that that definitely are her hands.
The tunnel transition reminds me of those old vaccum tubes that would be used to send papers to different parts of a larger building back in the day…. or an old-timey nautical speaking tube (that would sometimes be used to eavesdrop, as well).
Its very interesting to hear your take. Its not a lore based video but a look at the video itself as a breakdown of the tools they used in their craft of animating I can tell you have a great understanding of techniques and use of emotion . Awesome stuff
You are missing some context here. The girl burning the photo is the hydro archon, not a bodyguard for the Chief Justice. She isn’t wearing any uniform similar to anyone else— rather, they are all kind of dressed with inspiration from Europe’s Belle Epoch era, and of course there’s a favoritism for the color blue because she’s the hydro archon.
In the beginning shot, Freminet (the character in the ocean) is a diver. He feels at peace and is calm when diving in the sea, as it’s a place of comfort for him. His shock at the end isn’t because he realizes he’s drowning (he’s not), but likely because he realizes there’s something in the water. If you back up, you will see a change in the lighting and shadows around him that indicates that something very big is coming toward him in the water (like Monstro sized).
I feel one of the most interesting details is that the simplest way in real life to seamlessly transition from actors taking a bow on the stage to cutouts of them is the Pepper's ghost effect, which is still used today but notably prominent in theaters during the Belle Époque period in France. The creators thought that out.
1. Final Feast? I think this is "the last supper" reference.
Leonardo da Vinic ,Died on May 2, 1519 (aged 67) France (2023- 1519 =500 ++years😜)
2.Fontaine maybe inspire by Italy. (Renaissance)
3. I believe Arlecchino is Pryo an Electro. Those singed handes are from explosion.
You know eXplosion her eyes is X. explosion is exciting for villain.
She may be a mad scientist. could be the the reference to Ursula from little mermaid. Deep sea creature.
4. Clorinde could be inspire by the flying dutchman.
5. the girl that burn the polaroid wore a black and white glove could be symbolize good and evil. You see she use the black glove to burn the polaroid.
6. We may meet Eula family in Fontaine. Her constellation is Aphros Delos, Aphros means sea-foam , Delos is a location in greece. Reference to art piece "The Birth Of Venus". Eula could be embodiment of Aphrodite.

I realy like how we go from Jazz to dead scilence when Arlachino apeared.

Genshin never misses with its artstyle tbh also the names are in the description in order of speaking roles
I didn't even think about that she's burning an evidence. Nice spotting that detail
Best part is, those aren't Arlecchino's gloves, thats just how her hands actually look. It reminds me of how witches are always portrayed with black fingers, but here its her entire hand
When you put yourself in thumbnail beside her….arleccino looks like she is the good guy….😂😂😂

It's cool to see a lot instantly recognize Ray Chase voice
the character with the X eyes is Arlecchino and I don't think those are gloves they look more like her own claws
The moment at 3m 35s when she shoots the gun – the animation style of the electro bullet… where do you think that's inspired from? It looks totally different
Genshin 2D picture animation improved so much over time
I knew you'd like this trailer when I saw the transitions, animations and heard the orchestration
The "pillars" around Arlecchino (the woman with the red X eyes) are the other members of the Fatui (the baddie organization)
The girl holding the picture is the God of that land, the Archon. She is the Archon of Justice and her element is Water.
the scene with the gun lady shooting towards the blonde with the parasoul gives me the vibe of a relationship between a detective and a lady phantom thief

This one was great, prob in the top 5.

Arlecchino might be my vaforite fatui harbingers
if you want to know their names, they are in the description of the video, in order of who speaks 👌
everything u said about EVERY details in this trailer is quite accurate 100% no pun/sarcasm intended
Fun fact: some reddit users found out that the shadows u see when camera rotates around arlecchino are the cut out of the other harbingers

Always nice to see your reaction to these Genshin videos!
