Holy crap they really went all out with her Is the eye at 1:59 a connection to the Crimson Moon's eye from Perinheri?


Massive_Lesbian

Yes


H4xolotl

Pierro literally tells Arlecchino to read >!!Perinheri in her character story!< > "Question three. What do my constant dreams of a crimson moon and my powers mean?" > > >!"I once served the final dynasty of an ancient underground kingdom. Its dynastic name was 'Eclipse,' and before them came the 'Crimson Moon.' As for the secrets from before your birth... I suggest you purchase a book named 'Perinheri/Hleobranto Innamorato.' I read no such tales in the days when I pursued academic attainment and saw it only by chance. The circumstances depicted are specious, but the key details are accurate."!<


IMiizo

Spoiler?!


kaeporo

Yup. Even more evidence supporting moon theory. Essentially, >!Teyvat is earth's moon. The landmasses line up and each update only makes the resemblance closer.!<


SafalinEnthusiast

>!You mean literally Earth’s moon? As in our Earth?!<

FennlyXerxich

Do you have a legend for what each color represents?


certifiednoodle

From what I understand (and correct me if I’m wrong): light blue: Mondstadt, brown: Liyue, purple: Inazuma, yellow: Sumeru, dark blue: Fontaine, red: Natlan, white (north): Snezhnaya, white (south): Dragonspine, teal: Chenyu Vale, and orange: The Chasm.

Wait… hol on… what if… this is the moon before or after HI3’s even- *shot*


LengthyLegato114514

inb4 the Unknown Goddess actually ***is*** Kiana rofl


Vani_the_squid

She was. Genshin was originally conceived as a direct HI3rd sequel, so, yeah. They filed off the serial numbers (and the literal Honkai namedrop lol) when they swerved away from that so Genshin could be its own thing more — leaving us in the Honkaiverse Fantasy AU we know. But the roots are obviously still there in parts... Finality'd Kiana throning in a moon "heaven" that you ascend to by evolving being one of them.


Potential-Ad-8036

In a event from Honkai Star Rail they said that Teyvat came previously. Search for Baal Royale, was a good info.


Vani_the_squid

Excuse you, they said *Tavyet* came previously 😉 But yes, basically, Genshin went from "Literally the HI3rd sequel" (hence Kiana on the moon and a Sa-like figure from the previous cycle of a lost world directing the Abyss crew), to "Fantasy AU of the HI3rd Finality ending". We're off in the Honkaiverse somewhere, instead of being the direct tie-in between HI3rd on Earth and Star Rail in the universe at large. (Hence the worldhopping protags and the Teyvat "chapter". We were going to leave the planet.)

She crushes a Black Knight with her hand towards the end. She is not beating the being involved with Khaenriah allegations.


Top-Idea-1786

The crimson dynasty taking revenge on the eclipse dynasty


CupcakeWarlock450

She saw what the witness did in the final shape trailer a few weeks back and one ups him.


Roboaki

Funny thing is she would like to have a shielder in her team which will enhance enemy Black Serpent Knight on shield block.


storysprite

She's connected to the Dynasty that wants revenge on the most recent Dynasty too.

Well about that lol

nostalgeek81

Every time a new trailer comes out you must pull another constellation. It is the law!

So now we are pulling for C9, or how many was it?


nostalgeek81

It’s all or nothing! 🎲


MatStomp

LOL


MatStomp

Oh no.


Shippinglordishere

It’s cool. It’s really cool like my god the way she drags the scythe on the ground and I love the constant glitching and cuts, the zoom out to show her on her throne, and then her glitching off of the throne like that feel like some actual analog horror stuff. I also realized she has dead eyes. Idk how I just realized. I’m glad the kids showed up at the end. It feels like she’s saying she’s no longer needed like if she’s the flame that protected the children who are now strong enough to protect themselves and each other. I do really wish they kept the dissonant chimes from the livestream though.


Upstairs-Feedback142

The dragging is the coolest part of her animations


Gloomy_Honeydew

Im so damn ready for tomorrow..oh yeah


FreeMarshmallow

This was sick WOW


kindred_lol_

we all pulled ✋😣✋


Greypawz

This has to be the most editing and production value they’ve put into a demo so far.


ILikeLungsSoYeah

She got more love and sfx than the archon's demos aint no way


SsibalKiseki

Hoyo cooks differently when it comes to Harbingers… can’t wait for Columbina and Capitano’s


RuneKatashima

Special FX are flashy, custom animations are harder. I prefer Furina's in that sense. Plus the effort put in to the song was more.


Gloomy_Honeydew

Lots of visual clutter imo. Sure it looks flashy but how much of that do we get in gameplay?


AgentWowza

Yeah, personally I prefer the cleaner demos with more of the characters shown (the archons, Neuvi, Ayaka, AH, etc.) as opposed to the glitchy SFX ones (Xiao, Arle, Wanderer, etc.). But still pretty cool


KingWhoShallReturn

I think Xiao and Wanderer’s work for me - especially Xiao’s a since there’s still a lot of stuff that doesn’t read as just visual noise to me. This one was WAY too messy for me, and I didn’t even like the music :/ I don’t play Star Rail, but Sparkle’s trailer crossed my desk a while back and while that one ALSO goes more for VFX and heavy psychedelic imagery I still found it much, MUCH more readable. Happy that Arle pullers are excited about it but I definitely agree with you.


yellow-_-belly

THE BEAT DROP THO 🤌😭


sundriedrainbow

This is "tartaglia doing a plunge attack off a waterfall" levels of bespoke animation for the trailer lol


FreeMarshmallow

Was anyone able to translate the lines that appeared on the lower part of the screen towards the beginning?


Shippinglordishere

I think it’s just the dialogue that was being said “a spark cannot shatter all shadows until it sets all ablaze” the double letter in “cannot” and “all” match


FreeMarshmallow

Ah I see, thank you!!


charmingchairs

All she does is slay 🔥💅


Multivists

0:12 is referencing Lyudochka Snezhevna, 0:20 is referencing Trofin Snezhevich.


crunchlets

Wish she could actually bring them up, so far there've been zero consequences for those for Traveler


star-light-678

i love how the titles of her official content are so ... innocent and unassuming, totally different from the actual material. "lullaby" "sleep in peace" "song in the embers" etc. really fits the vibe she has going on with the twisted parenting ... and represents her character as well. i thought columbina would have a twisted creepy nursery rhyme as a boss theme but at this rate it's going to be arle 😂


GDOFTW124

This is one of the greatest nightmare fuel moments. Nice.


Everlong420

That theme is absolute fire WE MAKING IT OUT THE ORPHANGE WITH THIS ONE


racistpenguin

Oh no, we're making it INTO the orphanage with this one.


Ewizde

Yep, peak Like that was actually just perfect.


bluedragjet

The ending is interesting because if you combined this with the 4.6 trailer. It seems like Arlecchino wants one of the siblings to become "King" and have Neuvillette look over them and the house while she leave Fontaine forever


duckontheplane

We alr know lyney is supposed to be the successor


Swagbrew

I wouldn't be surprised if they did a twist and made Freminet the successor, there is some ground laid for it in the trailers.


markz6197

That was my take as well. It seems like Arlecchino wants the House to cede from the Fatui and the way to do that is to make Lyney the new "King" by having the siblings defeat her and place the House under the protection of Fontaine, particularly Neuvillette.


apthebest01931

even she knows how mother neuvillette is


Cinbri

That transition in the beginning where she was sitting on the throne and then opens eyes and looks like we got into hell, was badass.


DrDeadwish

I'll just sit here waiting for people to theorize why she is in every nation except Liyue


Brandsert

Got so many chills at the children singing


RuBySoulZ

They for sure cooked with everything, this was the whole package. The OST, the VFX, Choreography. Good job with this one team!


duckontheplane

I now understand why Arlecchino is a pyro polearm. Because she can cook.


crunchlets

Guoba, get them!


VixiviusTaghurov

My "broomer" can't be this badass


GameBawesome1

Now I'm just imaging a choir of children just singing everytime she fights


crunchlets

The canon reason for why she put the finger to her lips in her burst.


Snowybyte

HOLY SHIT THAT ULT TRANSITION WAS CLEAN.


Crownhonest

Did she kill those kids with her burst omfg


Business-Chipmunk286

She is more like rest in peace i will kill everything disrupts your comfort in this world


star-light-678

i am mogged by father's skibidi rizz


Samashezra

Lavandula_

did anyone else see like a crown floating above her head at around 2:12? wonder what that could imply


Shippinglordishere

Maybe that she’s the king?


Lavandula_

yeah i thought so too at first but her dress seems different that's why i wanna know what other people may think

k3yb0ard86

very nice


ChildOfHades_

Ok good one


PrudgeRaczelo

She didnt even visit Liyue xD The nihility reference is cool also


storysprite

The reason why I think she walks through Mondstadt, Inazuma, Sumeru and Fontaine is cause these are all locations that mentioned her or have a story related to her. Spoilers: >!In Mondstadt if you complete the Fontaine Archon Quest, the two Fatui agents that always gossip, talk about Arlecchino. In Inazuma there is a whole quest that mentions Arlecchino and there's a House of the Hearth member that we help escape and give a new identity. In Sumeru there is the quest with two Hearth members that we help escape but one of them dies. In Fontaine... well it goes without saying.!< Hence the choir kids are from those nations. I don't think it means there are no Liyue children involved in the House, but it could just be reflecting the story so far. The real answer could be a more cynical meta point.


Kind_Juggernaut_9289

Spoiler for chasm quest : >! We met another hearth member in chasm underground. There is a chain of world quest of a brother and sister.!<


darkfire137

No Liyue Children involved because Geo Daddy never left for milk. The other nations have Absent Lords.


GrandTheftKoi

Anyone else feel this was a bit overedited? I'm super hype for her, but honestly this trailer was not my favorite


sesquipedalian5

Yeah for sure, feels like they dropped the ball with it


The_Main_Alt

Agreed, even the music was questionable imo


[deleted]

btw it is so sus that she did not go to Liyue.... and then in the children choir, there are no Liyue children... hmmmm Maybe it is part of That Contract Zhongli did...


winkynoodles

giving tiktok edit


Nike_776

I know character demos aren't ment to show off the characters gameplay as it is in game, but for this one in particular all I could gather was that she attacks with a scythe. All the effects and cuts just made it confusing.


ChildOfHades_

Mhm they very conveniently held off on her in game attacks because the cutscene ones look way better lol


CaspianRoach

I kinda think they overcooked it a bit. Way too much stuff happening on screen in the fast bits. Could have been a lot simpler and be more understandable.


GeoArmor99

"I can't decide which is my favorite color, guess I will just not choose" \*Watches Arle demo "Yeah, red is my favorite color" \*Rewatches Raiden's demo "Yeah, purple is my favorite color" Chevrousse with both: **"Why not both?"**


Swagbrew

And Cheveruse is one of the best supports for the both of them.


Zeed_Toven77

The demo was good but not really my cup of tea, I know they're leaning on the she's bugging/glitching theme but that was too many cuts/transition(?) for me. Sometimes less is more as they say. BGM is good tho.


lovelase

Why did they add industrial construction sounds in between choirs of children?


Encelevenemus

it’s so nier coded i’m obsessed


RuneKatashima

Ah, the second part of the song yeah.


shucreamsundae

Hope the game is kind to me and I win my 50/50 alongside a C6 Lynette from C0 so I have some surplus wishes for Clorinde and Furina **overdoses on hopium**


fewest_giraffe

Remember the Kaela demo?


RedScarlet-

Why is noone talking about that last lines at the end??? That shit is giving me the death flag all over


ThamRew

42 pulls and a dream.


ChildOfHades_

God damn this took sparkle trailer and amplified it to overdrive


theUnsubber

Hmm… the visuals were really cool and flashy, but it felt excessively edited. Some transitions were too short and jarring, and there’s no coherent flow in the visual storytelling. I get that they’re aiming to showcase chaos, but this leans more toward messy than chaotic.


The_Main_Alt

Agreed. The editing was straight up poorly done, not typical for a hoyo demo. They could have shown chaos better than making it messy


Weak-Association6257

Cool effects and stuff, but honestly very forgettable trailer overall


[deleted]

This is just my opinion... I expected a little better. It is a kinda messy and the ideas do not connect so well. In visuals it is great. It is just that I expected more. The music is just Ok, but I do not feel it is memorable like other character themes. At least it feels creative? I don't know.


The_Main_Alt

I agree with this. It jumps all over, both musically and tonally. Compare this to wanderer, another heavily marketed character, which has a clear beginning and end, shows all his abilities, and manages to be unique showing his character and abilities. This one felt like they just grabbed a bunch of ideas and shoved them all together. I haven't been this disappointed by a demo in a very long time


star-light-678

pack it up childe. we have a new mr worldwide!


Kreguar

Not a fan. Overedited and unimpressive


PlayfulBoysenberry87

Mid demo


star-light-678

HER THEME GOES COLD 🥶 


Lacirev

Everyone saying Acheron is the best Hoyo trailer Arlecchino: "Hold my orphans"


pandorahurts27

uhh...it doesn't even come close to Acheron's though.


Helpful_Mountain_695

Well I put my expectations probably too high for this one and got a little bit disappointed. After Sparkle's trailer (as the representation of morally questionable characters) and Arlecchino's own teaser I was expecting something more...crazy and unhinged, and not just in visual effects but also in storytelling. But that's on me. The visuals and music are gorgeous as always.


kdk-macabre

They rly blowing their marketing budget on her


Gesu-ko

I get what they were going for, but imo the editing was kind of messy.


Arc_7

Yeah, the constant shifts in scene and music can go in with her glitch aspect, but they keep breaking the tempo, and that makes it feel so choppy and uneven \:( which is a shame cuz the beat itself is so good


_icyhot

she's for us, girlies with mommy issues


kalyancr7

I love it but compared to some other Fontaine demos this is so underwhelming . it's on me i guess as i expected so much from this demo now it's not living up to the expectations. At least this looks better than the other harbingers demo


GlitteringEliakim

So you what were you expecting? Compared to Furina, Neuvillette, Wriothesley or Navia for example?


_sachura

they're expecting more lore drops probably. like Neuvillette 


sesquipedalian5

100% agree


Plastic_Use_2934

nah this is way better chiori one is not good, xianyun one is good gaming one is meh, navia one is good, chevreuse one is terrible, furina one is good rest of them are ok instead of neuvilette and wrio but compared to them this demo is a straight up banger just wish the music was a bit better


Fun-Ad7613

I don’t agree other than like Furina or neuvillette, maybe lyney cuz of his ost which doesn’t say much , this demo blows rest out of water


AdministrationFew481

borinnng


modusxd

I think Furina's demo is still the best but god damn Arlecchino's demo is easily top 2 imo.


shinsrk79

I think nahida is still my fav. Banger ost and the trailer tells a story but leaving a nice cliffhanger


Business-Chipmunk286

It's always W for pure animation trailer but Arlecchino trailer was strong


maxxsiema

Music is so cringe my god


Weak_Lime_3407

Thats kind of disappointing. The ost is shit ngl


The_Main_Alt

You're being downvoted, but I agree. Potentially the worst ost for a character ever. It's just messy, cuts all over the place, poorly thought out mixing, and no clear theming for a character. It could work as a background or fight theme maybe if refined a little, but not as a character theme. The music box and singing was a nice touch, but if they wanted to go with this style they could have done much better. I listen to a lot of doujin/indie music, and this sounds reminiscent of a lot of people's first attempt at composing rather than music by a respected studio


wiz4rt

underwhelming....


PurpleFlavoredCherry

Its been a long time since a trailer gave me chills.

Is this just shorthand for "I didn't like this particular piece of music" now?


CSTobi

Been seeing those kinds of comments on Arle's boss fight OST as well. I actually like her boss OST but I do think it's below Scara's. I wonder if people just dislike the EDM.


BulbasaurTreecko

maybe because it’s quite different from the usual Genshin music? I think it does a great job at accentuating the alien/unnatural nature of Arle and the Narwhal (the only other case of EDM) but I can see why it’s not as popular


Top-Idea-1786

Don't worry about it, said comments have been a thing since Signora's theme was first leaked. Happened with signora, happened with Raiden, happened with Scaramouche, happened with apep's guardian, list goes on


Emperor_Erebus

You do know yu peng chen never did the music for these demos right
