Also, yeah, that art too... the art direction in this game has always been great, but the use of colors here is really striking. Obviously purple was going to be theme color for obvious reasons, but the way they adjusted the tint of all the other colors, especially the blue/greens (turquoise) to complement along with the ever-present cherry blossom pink... it's like paintings brought to life. So anyway, yeah, for me who was first attracted to this game thanks to the music and the art, this trailer is A+. Looking forward to the release in a few weeks. (Cross-save with PS4/PS5 is also really nice; it was kind of weird they didn't have that working to start, but may have just required more time and negotiation with Sony.)

The glider is switched to the default one, and the sword's ability won't work...and that feels kind of underhanded Considering that it's impossible to refine the sword, it shouldn't have that much of an impact on gameplay...other than giving the Traveler another weapon option.

I usually dislike live2D since it looks too awkward more often than not, but I admit Mihoyo managed to make something more natural and it works for Ayaka.
I'm curious what kind of direction they will go for her demo video. Probably lots of emphasis on her elegance.

(I wonder if the reason the game isn't out on Switch yet (despite being announced) is also due in part to a console exclusivity window with Sony. But I suppose this move now does pave the way for cross-play there when that happens, presumably...)

They always do a great job of creating trailers whose style (both visuals and music) matches the themes of the character well, while still having some elements in common with each other -- they feel like they're part of a series, but each one also feels unique. In this particular case, it's also clever that they incorporated the "waiting to meet the traveler" motif, both since she's such a long-awaited character and because this step in the story is also long-awaited. Bringing together all these artistic and thematic elements in short videos with such high production values is pretty remarkable for sure.
Definitely hoping for good gacha luck for everyone!

As my Keqing replacement, I'm just a little bit miffed that I don't have enough resources available right now to pump up one of the eventual Japanese blades that would fit her...
I have a decked out Black Sword at R2, which is apparently a great sword for her, but aesthetically...

To no one's surprise, Kazuha did poorly. This is what happen when Ayaka and Inazuma patch are right before him.

^They are going to regret it, his gameplay is fun to play.
Especially, Ayaka and Yoimiya are Cryo and Pyro character whoever pulled them without Kazuha has missed the potential support Kazuha can offer for them. |

Alternatively, if you pulled him in the hopes of using him to support either of them, you might no longer have the primos for either of them. You save for the units you want, not units that might be able to support units you might get.

Got her in 80 pulls. Still have 23k primos for Yoimiya. First priority upon arriving in Inazuma is not to investigate the situation but to farm for her ascension mats. She'll stay at low level for a while.
Her playstyle is definitely a hit and run type since her Mona dash applies Cryo on enemies upon surfacing and also makes your attacks Cryo too. Need to dash around a lot to maintain the Cryo infusion and also apply Cryo on enemies, which makes Blizzard Strayer really good on her. The Mona dash fix/rework is beautiful now and not that wonky anymore. |

Gonna pull for her once I actually meet her in game.
Also reminder to everyone that Inazuma has some traversal and puzzle mechanics intrinsically tied to an Electro user, so make sure to have electro traveler or another similar vision user handy.

I haven't started it yet, but if I remember correctly, I thought they said on the stream that the puzzles didn't require specific characters to be in the party. I guess maybe that could have meant anyone other than Electro (like you didn't need to keep subbing in Amber, etc.), but not sure.
