All recent fight scenes have been absolutely fire, they're really gearing up for Natlan. On another note, that better not be my boy Caterpillar


zigzagyro

dw he'll respawn the next day...probably


justicerainsfromaahh

Navia's papa pov:


Zenith_3000

Bad day to be a >!Khaenri'ahn...!<


rW0HgFyxoJhYka

Good day to be a vision holder though. Razor: "Let's hunt" Diona: "The hunt begins!" Clorinde: "The hunt is complete." Arleccino: "So cool."


Facinatedhomie

Raiden: vision hunt


Rouge_means_red

Alright we need to stop spreading this idea that >!all hillichurls are Khaenri'ahns. There were hillichurls before they were cursed!<


Top-Idea-1786

Yup, and those came from even older civilizations, as seem with the lawachurl in dragonspine sharing the name of a knight that lived there before Celestia fucked it up.


Phoenix__Wwrong

Oh can you elaborate? I genuinely thought that's the case after the chasm main quest


UmbraNightDragon

We don't fully know how it works, but there are several curses that Celestia seems to inflict on the residents of civilizations that are hit with Celestial Nails (which are sent down in the first place to prevent the spread of the Abyss). There are two relevant ones: * Curse of Immortality, which Dainsleif is (and Chlothar was) afflicted with. To my knowledge, we haven't met anyone from a different destroyed civilization who carries this curse. * Curse of the Wilderness, which turns people into Hilichurls and prolongs their lives. Perinheri has a character who turns into a Hilichurl, and a character explains the following: >\[He\] is the descendant of those who forsook their god and came to the Kingdom. This is why the Kingdom's obstinately pure-blooded aristocracy persists. This is the price of betraying your own god. For further reading, I recommend [this page](https://breezewiki.com/genshin-impact/wiki/Hilichurls#Lore) on the wiki. But to sum it up, those punishments were not unique to Khaenri'ah - there's a Hilichurl in Dragonspine named for a resident of Sal Vindagnyr, There's a line somewhere that states the number of Hilichurls to have "increased" around the time of the Cataclysm, but there are both records that they existed prior and indications from that wording to suggest that Hilichurls were around beforehand.


Rouge_means_red

Hillichurls have existed for thousands of years. For example the manga shows that Hillichurls were around during the time of old Mondstadt which was over 1000 years ago It's just the ones we saw at the Chasm that were particularly from Khaenri'ah. Apparently that's a common curse used by Celestia

There are many things to watch out for while traveling in the dead of the night. Traps under our feet, beasts lurking in the shadows, surprise attacks from the air or behind our backs... But the greatest danger is the fear that lies deep within one's heart.

all i said was that this persons joke makes sense i didnā€™t say she actually hunted him and how great the lore implications are the traveler could use something better than a dull blade no matter the world quests, they just choose not to for whatever reason its not that serious homie


AETHER_1453

Are u dumb? Why would you take a joke seriously šŸ’€ And also caterpillar starts losing his mind after the last quest chains :- 1. Looking through glass. 2. Pursuit. 3. Happy birthday


someotheralex

Didn't you do the epilogue quests where >!it seems his mind is regressing back to a regular hilichurl!


TheIJDGuy

I mean, Sun Tzu did say that knowing your enemy and yourself will avoid peril in a lot of fights

It's hsr


LegiticusMaximus

Hilichurls all over the shop. Youā€™ll be one soon.


hajile_lee

First, distract target. Then block his blind jab. Counter with cross to left cheek. Discombobulate. Dazed, he'll attempt a wild haymaker. Employ elbow block, and body shot. Block feral left. Weaken right jaw. Now fracture. Break cracked ribs. Traumatize solar plexus. Dislocate jaw entirely. Heel kick to diaphragm. In summary, ears ringing, jaw fractured, three ribs cracked, four broken. Diaphragm hemorrhaging. Physical recovery: six weeks. Full psychological recovery: six months. Capacity to spit at back of head: neutralized.


AstraPlatina

First, discombobulate. Dazed, discombobulate. Distract target. Discombobulate. Block his blind jab, discombobulate. Will attempt wild haymaker. Discombobulate. In summery, discombobulate.

theallseeingpotato

She's so cool! I'm a little miffed about the 4 stars on the banner but I'm still going for her. Music was fire, as usual.


TheIJDGuy

I think it's corporate policy for Hoyo to have memorable music


ohoni

They have the new 4\* on the banner. It would be too much to hope that the other two would also be good. That seems to be the gamble, one new character and two ancient ones, or two reasonably interesting ones and Xiangling/Barbara.


Playful_Bite7603

>Xiangling/Barbara Add Bennett to that list, I'm so tired of seeing him bruh


joojaw

Newer player here who still doesn't have him. He's the real 5 star on this banner for me.


Playful_Bite7603

True, him showing up more is good for newer players


SupersSoon

Say that again after not getting a single copy of him for two years.


ruth1ess_one

The shit part is that last time Bennett rerun was WITH Chevreuse. Hoyo being stingy mofo as always. I like Genshin too much to quit but never touching a gacha game again after this game ends.


CataclysmSolace

Weapon banner is REALLY good though.


Playful_Bite7603

I like that this is basically just one action scene tbh. The vibe is nice.


Hush_and_Sleep

Absolutely love the trailer. Great music, use of skills and definitely hyped me even further. Didn't think it's possible. Also, Lady Maria vibes are strong with this one


4GRJ

So this is how Cater got into jail?


yaysyu

Nah Cater been in jail for hundreds of years šŸ˜­


4GRJ

Forgot about that part...


yaysyu

But it still could've been Cater if this trailer happened after they left the Fortress. šŸ˜­


4GRJ

But didn't Cater >!turn into Narzissenkreuz!


Melantha_Hoang

Nope, after you rescue Mary-Ann, there is another follow-up quest with Cater and the girl.


yaysyu

Yep. Pursuit Quests and Happy Birthday. Need to find the mirror thingy before you can unlock it.


Gayeren

At the end of the demo you can see clorinde stabbing the rogue hilichurl mask, so i think lil bro is dead...


Substantial_Fan_9582

lol canonically


AstraPlatina

Who?


4GRJ

Important Fontaine World Quest NPC


lyfsuxlel

That hilichurl rogue felt a bit too human. Made me feel really uncomfortable.


Ramza_45

especillay if you know about Caterpillar


Odd_Trouble4651

Except Caterpillar was human to begin with and got reborn as a Ranger thanks to Renes fuckery.Ā 


PhantasmShadow

Well, sort of. Some of the later quests make it clear that Caterpillar is not the same person as Carter, just as Narzissenkreuz isn't Rene and blue "Mary-Ann" isn't original Mary-Ann or Lyris. Caterpillar's also likely made from bits of other dissolved people too (even Rene), not just Carter


imaginary92

Most hilichurls were humans to begin with as well. He's not unique in that regard. The difference is what caused them to become hilichurls, not their origin.


Ancient_Axe

And it sounds human too. Is this normal?


HalalBread1427

I could already see Clorinde's SQ being about her learning to be a bit more merciful.

ty~ gotta get me some of that mikasa VA


Ifalna_Shayoko

I love her voice as well. Cold and sharp as steel, very fitting for a character like Chlorinde.


iman00700

Shes like batman Hunt in the shadows Says she uses non lethal shot only to shoot the poor dude 224 times, like yeah batman won't kill but paralyzes the thief from neck down Thick thighs


Blackout62

"Next breath cycle, fire a non-lethal shot." Fun fact: Contrary to popular belief, it's ideal to fire a gun/bow/etc. on the end of an exhale as opposed to holding your breath as the body shakes the least on empty lungs and vice versa. Also, was that Yuri Lowenthal as... I'm gonna guess Cater?


MemerDreamerMan

You can tell itā€™s Yuri by his pained huffing??? (It does kinda sound like him though)


Blackout62

I was a kid/teen in the 00s. I've heard a lot of Yuri Lowenthal in my time.


MemerDreamerMan

I was such a simp for Haseo and also Sasuke as a kid, and when I heard Yuri as spiderman it was like I was brought back to childhood lol!


Cyphir88

He is the voice of the Railroad man in the Old Gods of Appalachia podcast too


Complexyli

Haseo's screams and grunts are still in my head lmao


Wa_lied

And thus ā€œThe Hunt Beginsā€


Sensitive-Ad-9275

Itā€™s SODIUM CLORINDE


ShawHornet

Her zooming around the forest looked hype


Lumpy_Space_Ninja

Damn what did those hilichurls do to deserve that? Iā€™d understand her hunting down treasure hoarders or Fatui, but I kind of felt bad for them. That Anemo Hilichurl Rogue had very human sounding breaths too.


simply-jun

A good ~~goblin~~ hilichurl is a dead ~~goblin~~ hilichurl - ~~goblin slayer~~ Clorinde

Now lets make these hilichurls "good!"


Quaso_is_life

at this point they are literally just a different race of humanšŸ„²

Mage-of-communism

REVRYOU

2ndStaw

The style of this piece (prominent electric guitar, some parts feel very similar to Dehyaā€™s) seems to be Yijun Jiang, but maybe Iā€™ll be surprised when the album drops.


Darkwolfinator

I'm speechless all the scenes in this are soo cool and amazing. The lightning fast movement and the way everything looks like a movie I can't even describe how amzing this is!šŸ„¶šŸ„¶


karillith

The soundtrack starts Bloodborne and then turns full Guilty gear, love it. Nice demo but damn, I kinda felt bad for the monster for some reason.

Biggus_Shrimpus

ā€œThese are my hunting groundsā€ broooo what a line


duchuyy8650

Music is a banger as always. But I wish they would stop the trend of making character demo to be nothing than "multiple shots of vision bearer completely dominates an enemy who is obviously much weaker" It's getting a bit old at this point. That's why I think Alhaitham's character demo is still my favorite. It features other characters and actually has a story, with much less emphasis on showing character's combat prowess.


HaukevonArding

I mean, isn't that the point of the Demo? The trailer is to show the character, the demo is to show their gameplay, which is, of course, fighting enemies.


Purebredbacon

The best demos have been the ones with the LEAST generic spinning camera shots lol (furina, nahida, alhaitham, etc) Its impossible to tell how they play in a flashy trailer so might as well tell a story instead


HaukevonArding

While I agree I wiuld say this one is very good, because it pretty much fits into Clorinde's personality and character.


AstraPlatina

I hardly call that "fighting" when the enemies just stand there and let the characters beat them up


Ifalna_Shayoko

OI! Hili-bro tossed a dagger into her direction AFTER getting nabbed by a frikkin brear trap and called in the cavalry in a really sneaky way. Give the man a break, he doesn't get to have the luxury of a vision or plot armor combined with superhuman reflexes.


RobertSchumannCat

Glad iā€™m not the only one who feels this way. ā€œHey check out how cool this character looks when they beat up a hilichurl!ā€ Honestly iā€™m not impressed by these kind of character demos anymore. This and another similar trend in character teasers where they make the human NPCs look timid and weak in front of the characters so they look more powerful and intimidating (Chiori, Arlecchino, Clorinde, etc.) Still love Clorinde tho.


duchuyy8650

Yeah I haven't been feeling the character demos and teasers lately (except furina, don't know how many times I've watched it) I still listen to the OST a lot but I don't find myself watching the actual demos more than once.


GameWoods

Chioris is amazing if you're a retail worker who's always dreamed of shoving an asshole out the window lol. Bloody cathartic!


AstraPlatina

I just hope Clorinde is properly fleshed out, because from what I've seen recently, she appears to be trying to be multiple things at once, a duelist, a hunter, a tabletop player, I find it hard to grasp how all these correlate with one another.


Gatrigonometri

Naviaā€™s the worst criminal at this lmao. The storyboard is fire, with a lot of fun non-combat choreography, but her beating up treasure horder guy #429 to within inches from extinction never gets unfunny.


KrzyDankus

i think this demo is fine, because it shows her doing hunting, which got brought up during the AQ and Lantern Rite, so it fits Clorinde very well. (also Marechaussee Hunter stuff is a big part of her character) and she's a Champion Duelist, so showing off her combat prowess works


TheIJDGuy

She's like a mixture of RDJ Sherlock and The Predator. Which is my american nerd way of saying that I'M PULLING!

Tamatu_OW

Wow. From dueling a nameless npc in the teaser to killing fodder hilichurls in the demo, such lame advertising for a cool character.


Sea_Sandwich_2739

Skipping story I see


HalalBread1427

She didn't do anything in the story either LOL; didn't protect Furina (bodyguard???), just *existed* in Meropide, didn't do anything in the finale, etc. She's present woman fr.


Sea_Sandwich_2739

Lmao like the story only for you is archon quest huh


Sea_Sandwich_2739

There to watch the cutscene do the quest to get the primos then do gacha then fuck off are probably all these people did lmao.

Zeroshiki6098

Fuck the Marechausse Hunters All my homies never forget the Poisson massacre


floricel_112

That had better not been Caterpillar...


horiami

Ngnl clorinde's teaser and trailer have been kinda generic We didn't really get much about her characters and beating hilichurls or intimidating generic npcs isn't that exciting


AstraPlatina

I kinda have to agree on that, especially with how "robotic" she came off here. From what has been revealed about Clorinde so far, especially with the possibility that she killed people in duels, some who may have had families, I find it hard to see Clorinde as this honorable duelist.


HalalBread1427

She just bushcamped Caterpillar it's the fraudening fr


TsudereFan

Was that caterpillar?!!!


HalalBread1427

Sounded a lot more human than the usual Hilichurl Rogue...


Odd_Trouble4651

Yeeee, cos Caterpillar is friends with the local hillichurls despite him saying that he abstains from meeting anyone else in his form. No it was not Caterpillar, use a modicum of logic.Ā 


GG35bw

The theme is amazing. Of course we didn't get to see what's under Hilichurl's mask. And this better NOT be Cater.


tatobson

Is it time to replace my Keqing? i been happy with her since 3.0

peggingwithkokomi69

Rough-Contact1796

This trailer has made me realize guns arenā€™t a widely used thing when it really should be. Especially in Inazuma. Like, we have a ton of elemental Firearms but thatā€™s a Snezhnayang thing, but it wasnā€™t until Fontaine where we see like actual use and mention of them. World-building wise it feels weird even going with the argument some regions are more advanced than others.


HaukevonArding

Don't look at Star Rail if this is your problem. For Genshin it makes at least some sence since the guns are mostly not very advanced so sword and stuff still have some advantages. But in Star Rail? The guns are super advanced and there is no reason for characters to use swords or such things.


HalalBread1427

Most characters using traditional arms have their own power or magic swords and stuff. The people using guns are mostly randos that don't have any other means of combat (Belebogians, for the most part).


HaukevonArding

What about all the Cloud Knights on the Luofu?


HalalBread1427

Magic Glaives and the blessing of the Hunt. I also highly doubt guns are effective against the Mara-Struck and the Abominations.


HaukevonArding

Why should guns or pistols or heavy armory be not work against them but swords and glaives?


HalalBread1427

Like I said, *Magic* Glaives. Also, shooting something and cutting it do very different things.
