A cute little detail I noticed at 3:33, Furina is playing rock scissors paper with Madamoiselle Crabaletta, Furina puts out rock, and Crabaletta is annoyed because she can only do scissors. 😊
some people have pointed out a very interesting detail, to add onto Furina's duality as you mentioned the demo itself very much has a big theme of duality going through it. everything in the demo(more or less) is at an opposite to how it should be in reality. such as Furina defending Clorinde, her using ousia attacks in her pneuma form and vice versa, child running away rather than fighting, Neuvillette getting arrested rather than being a judge, Freminet drowning on land, Lyney being in the water rather than Lynette. its a has some pretty interesting implications
theres also what somebody else pointed out is thst she also retold the archin quests. navia and neuvilette being signora and venti when she stole the gnosis, childe running away like in liyue harbor, clorinde and wriothesley being the duel with the shogun, and lyney being nahida.
i said this in the trailer but, ngl seeing the real time realization of the community - in general - going from "I hate this annoying wannabe girlfailure" to "Wait, she might be the greatest genshin character of all time" is like watching a blockbuster cinema. She jebaited every single one of us
I frankly found her really fun from the beginning. And having experienced the strong storyline in Sumeru, I knew there was something more to Furina's character. It was way too early in the Fontaine arc to start hating on her.
I genuinely don't understand people who hate her due to her personality in the archon quest. Literally saying that she shouldn't be released. Personally, I find her to be the most interesting archon (personality wise) besides Nahida. She's so different from the usual characters we get
Personally love her personalities. Have been a Furina defender from May (the first time I've seen her leaks) and not once have I ever regretted it. She has a very unique and beautiful design. And when 4.0 dropped, I have never doubted her. I could never care less what people say about her. She reminds me of the fun I had in stage when I take huge roles in theater plays. She's such a unique character and yet still gets hate more than characters with bland personality.
True he is everywhere liyue fonaine and inuzuma and probely Snezhnaya if he is in natlan then we saw him in every region but not sumeru but probely not
I think at 6:19 Furina Re-enacting the Traveller's adventures in different regions ... When Childe running from the melusines reflects the Traveller running from the Millelith, ... LIYUE Navia to Nuevelette/ Signora to Venti....MONDSTADT Lyney and Lynette/ Nahida in cage to be saved by the Traveller......SUMERU MAYBE SPOILERS? - Furina pulling Freminette 's helmet------ Upcoming Fontaine Archon Story Quest...FONTAINE Chloride VS Wriothesley / Raiden VS Traveller or what @alya6559 says...More like Shogunate vs Resistance Kujo Sara vs Gorou while Furina reflects Raiden Shogun...INAZUMA
Clorinde vs wriothesley more like the shogunate vs the resistence, how furina just watching like raiden who just quietly when her own people fought each other.. meanwhile freminett helped by furina, not like Zhongli who just let his people save themself when osial got awaken.
In the last swing scene as well, usually the way hat tossing goes in Europe it’s in a “UFO” way(head cap down), she tossed it upside down for some reason her title being “Regina of all Waters” (meaning Queen of all Waters) the hat symbolizes her crown and she’s passing it onto the “Audience” since Neuvillette is the highest authority among the audience as “Font of Waters” (Fountain/Origin of all Waters) it could easily be him getting the gnosis/crown though it could also be connected to the next scene where she catches it again because she’s not really dead she’s already split from the start according to theories
@@4000ThousandSmiley true but it reminds me more of the liyue milileth cuz their chasing someone who they think is guilty like how the milileth chased traveler because they thought they killed rex lapis for some reason
We had the exact same reaction to the slower silhouetted part like DAMN the way a woman adjusting her glove can make me fold lol. Extremely excited for her tomorrow and the rest of the story in Fontaine cuz its been great so far.
I'm SO HAPPY that you noticed Furina essentially imitating the other Archons!! But also, notice how in the beginning, in her Ousia form she doesn't have her vision, but instead her jewel. And in the Pneuma one she has her vision instead of the jewel. I wonder if every now and then when she switches Arkhe alignment her vision switches between the outfits. Or maybe it has some deeper meaning
I think it's shown through this trailer that you can get an indicator of which version of her you have by her outfit. If you have the black outfit, you get the 3 summons that do damage. If you have the white outfit, you get the healer summon. Or vice versa.
Does she normally have her vision in ousia and the jewel in pneuma? If so, it could be part of the trailer, since everything is switched/has roles reversed(childe running from weak, neuvillette getting arrested). So this got switched too, which is a nice detail
@@janderjedi That would sound like a logical idea.. But I noticed that they also swapped back afterwards around the end. So Pneuma had the jewel and Ousia the vision.
@@janderjediyeah in her teaser we can see that when she is with white clothes she is part of stage, but in the end of the teaser when she is crying she is with black clothes, and she is in the audience seats. That could pretty much mean that the Furina we meet all this time is just part of the plan of the other part of furina with black clothes, and this furina could be the one that has the information and knowledge of a 500 years god
I barely understood why the people of Fontaine love Furina so much but this character demo proves it. She does literally EVERYTHING for her people, making them happy and laugh with her performance although she was worried for the prophecy the whole time in her heart. She's the embodiment of "She might not be the best archon in Teyvat but she will always be the best archon in the hearts of Fontainian". Love her character so much and whoever wrote Furina's character, kudos to that person!! Can't wait for 4.2!
"All the world is indeed a stage. We are merely players, performers and portrayers. Each another's audience outside the gilded cage" These lyrics came to mind when I watched this. We are merely performers in Furina's world.
Those are pretty much the lyrics that are being sung! (The world is but a stage. It's better to laugh than to cry, For laughter is part of the human experience. Laugh at it all, don't worry. Enjoy the present day)
Lyney and Lynette beating the shit out of that one guy at 4:59 will never be not funny 😂 this demo is the most hilarious demo trailer I have ever seen in genshin istg
It's one of my favorite parts aside from Childe straight up fox lunging at that other poor guy and Clorinde and Navia having a slap at each other. It's all so over the top I love it
Don't know how much of it is an act but I love how joyful she looks here (hopefully we'll be able to get to that point after whatever's happening in Act V). Happy Furina is best Furina. Things I noticed/liked though: 1) The way it started with Ousia Furina (interesting way that she partially hid her expression with her hat in the beginning though could just be for the drama) and ended with Pneuma Furina after she threw her misdirect of a top hat (with that funny bit of her making impressions of the other archons right before) away to the other one, leaving them in the spotlight. 2) The film/theatre vibes this trailer gives (references to Silent Film, Singing in the Rain, and others maybe?). Nice transition from 3d to splash art and name card too. Music and song are a banger as well. 3) The way the Fontaine animals just looked like they were thinking "wtf?" when she was posing and had her summons inconvenience them (not even defeating them or anything, which makes Clorinde's expression even funnier). Then switch to her yeeting that one hilichurl and then posing dramatically. 4) Special mention to Childe, once again proving his title of "Mr. Worldwide" for sneaking into the Hydro Archon's character trailer along with the Fontaine cast. Also Lynette actually smiling for not having to do the under water trick here when she looked so done before the trick even started back in Act I. And then the "Oof" for Neuvillette. xD 5) Furina being a performer, to director, to spectator then coming back in for the finale and curtain call.
The translarion of th'e lyrics for those wondering: "The world is just a stage. It's better to laugh than cry. Because laughter is unique to man. Laugh it all, do not worry. Let's enjoy today!"
This demo convinced me to get her to C2. Everything about it is so perfect! Honestly, I'm comfortable with saying this is the greatest demo they have released so far.
What I love of these recent demos is the increase of references to the world quests, for example near the end of furina's demo i spotted Noailles from Unfinished Comedy quest (by the way i find it funny that he also appeared in Wriothesley preview)
I love how almost the entire Fontaine cast is present here, also including Childe, but not even a single hint of Arlecchino :D Furina really said "I am throwing a party and you are not invited".
One interesting thing I've seen people notice is how at the end you hear no applause from the audience. No idea if its a hoyo move or lookig into it too deep, but its an idea for sure.
An interesting detail. scenes with other characters seem to refer us to the previous archon quests. Childe is arrested. Navia snaps at Neuvillet about her father. Lyney and Lynnete perform a water trick. Clorinde and Wriothesely in Meropide. It's as if we're being hinted that all these events are part of a performance run by Furina
I. Love. Furina. This was such a fantastic teaser! The Archon Quest was one of the best stories they've told so far! Awesome to hear that you found her so cool too haha
Another thing that I’ve seen people notice is the parts that begin with Childe running away from Melusines, it’s the Traveler running away from the Mililith in Liyue, the one with Navia and Neuvillette, La Signora and the Traveler in Monstadt, Lyney in the Oritrice with Lynette on the outside, the Grand Sage and Nahida, Clorinde and Wriothesly squaring off with Furina watching, the showdown with Signora in Inazuma
0. Childe running from melusine, parodying MC who always be fugitives in every nation 1. Neuvillete get caught by Navia's group, more like parody of Venti caught by fatuus before kicked by Signora 2. Lyney stuck on a glass box, more like parody for Nahida 3. Freminett helped by Furina, not like Zhongli who let his people resolve their own problem. 4. Furina just watching Wriothesley vs Clorinde, like Raiden just quiet while the shogunate vs the resistance battle.
Surprised I didn't see a comment talking about the swinging scene representing the other archons Edit: I made this comment before watching the video. So, he realized this on the first watch. Incredible
I, CANNOT, contain my excitement for when Arnold uploads the Fontaine archon quests here. I’m so excited to watch and see how he reacts to everything, and I’m so happy he already likes Furina so much here before Act V haha. My absolute favourite character
We're actually going to be starting editing work on 4.0 Fontaine content in another week or two, so I'm super excited to be catching up to present-day content as well. If all goes according to play, we should be able to start posting the early bits of the Fontaine Archon Quest Act 1 before Natlan releases later this year!!!
A live action of a chief justice kneeing a prison guard is spotted (is this how phys neuvilette is gonna be?) 😂 and i think childe even dropkicked someone too 😂😭
Probably gonna be one of my only c6r5 characters, actually one of my only characters I get cons on even. Though I’m too poor to do it first banner, but eventually she will be c6’d.
What’s a nice detail in the trailer is that in furinas theme where everyone’s fighting in chaos is that some lyrics in the back are french which Is a nice detail
Furina may be my favourite character in genshin.when I first time see her in fontaine archon quest 1,I was fascinated by her cuteness and liveliness.I can‘t wait for pulling her!
I’m really wondering if 4:45 is directly referencing Marie Antoinette. Furina is literally just sitting enjoying some cake as those around her are fighting and through all the chaos occurring she’s literally just having fun ; much like how Antoinette would. Obviously we know that there’s a lot of influence from Marie Antoinette and her reign, more under terms that we know she wasn’t serving her people properly. That guillotine is looking extra sharp rn
A few things interesting about the demo is that reversed for the characters throughout the demo and the second half are supposed to represent the various moments in the various archon quest to date that has fatui involvement. Childe normally would fight rather than flee. (Is supposed to be our escape from in Liyue when Zhongli showed up "dead" when Childe helped us escape) Neuvillette who is the judge is getting arrested by Navia who is like a mafia boss. (representing Signora stealing Venti's gnosis) Lyney is in the water tank rather than Lynette. (Representing Nahida's self isolation after being cornered by Dattore) And Clorinde vs Wriothesley are friends having a fight (is Signora fighting before the throne with us, with Furina in the background being Raiden) (Another role reversal is in the beginning when Furina, being as weak as she is, is stepping up to fight for Clorinde. So given all these facts, I wonder what we can gather from the remaining parts. We see Freminet drowning from his diving helmet (again reverse) with Furina removing the helmet, and this is seemingly supposed to represent the events of Fontaine. (And given the previous moments, also an interaction with the Fatui) Another interesting part is the finale with the cast beating the NPCs up. Given who each characters are supposed to represent previously, I wonder if it is perhaps also foreshadowing for things to come? I love this demo since its all in good fun, but can actually go several layers deep if we try digging a bit.
you'd want to crown her Burst first actually. it scales extremely well with levels and increase your whole team's dps instead of just her own. this is easily the funniest demo ever, just as chaotic as I expected from Furina lmao
I love Furina so much ! And I enjoy your reactions on the game a lot ! I really can't wait to see the end of this Archon quest 🥰 Btw, the "maam ?!" is killing me xD
I dunno, but that curtain falling at the end gave me goosebumps and a momentarily sadness. I feel like I'm gonna cry for the hundredth time tomorrow :'>
Tbh when MHY first released Furina, I didn't really like her design, but as the story goes, I fell for her more and more, and her PV and demo just gave me even more reasons to love her. Starting from tomorrow she and Nahida will permanently stay in my team :)
When the music drops, I hear my chance at winning 50/50 rises and many questions pops up in my mind. can't trust anything now, all I thought was " is this foreshadowing?? ". oh yeah, Neuvilette getting arrested is funny. btw, Maybe it's just me, but you look kinda tired. be sure to take care of your health, Arnold.
Someone on twitter pointed out that the scenes with Neuvillette and the others are recreating certain parts of the events the traveler went through in each nation Childe when we had to run back at the start of Liyue, Neuvi when Signora came to stopped us from helping venti, Wrio and Clor is The duel before the throne in Inazuma, and Lyney and Lynette being Nahida and Azar.
6:21 that childe scene is the scene where Traveler running away from liyue millelith soldier 6:24 that Navia and Neuvillete scene is the scene where La Signora yoink Venti's Gnosis 6:30 That Lyney and lynette scene is the scene of Nahida when she got locked up in the Surasthana by The Grand Sage 6:33 And in this Freminet and Furina scene is the scene for Furina that's about to get.....👩🗡️ (Get it?)
The archons were also arranged so you see green rarity, blue rarity, purple rarity and finally gold rarity, the last one which makes people go crazy, just like with pulls. 😅
A cute little detail I noticed at 3:33, Furina is playing rock scissors paper with Madamoiselle Crabaletta, Furina puts out rock, and Crabaletta is annoyed because she can only do scissors. 😊
Furina: Sometimes my genius, is very frightening
Her playing rock paper scissors against the crab that only has scissors and it getting angry though lol
"Nothing personal, kid. The game was rigged from the start."
And how Furina was so happy that she won even though she rigged it🤣🤣🤣
some people have pointed out a very interesting detail, to add onto Furina's duality as you mentioned the demo itself very much has a big theme of duality going through it. everything in the demo(more or less) is at an opposite to how it should be in reality. such as Furina defending Clorinde, her using ousia attacks in her pneuma form and vice versa, child running away rather than fighting, Neuvillette getting arrested rather than being a judge, Freminet drowning on land, Lyney being in the water rather than Lynette. its a has some pretty interesting implications

This is basically Neuvillette's Story Quest in a nutshell (old Fontainians vs. New Fontainians when how they treat the Melusines)
Personally love her personalities. Have been a Furina defender from May (the first time I've seen her leaks) and not once have I ever regretted it. She has a very unique and beautiful design.

As far, you're the only youtuber who realizes that the swings represent the archon. That's why you're the best
DukTV actually noticed it too
I didn’t even notice lol! Now her randomly throwing mora is even funnier!🤣
I love Lynette kicking the guy while he's down and Lyney punching him
This is easily my favorite Character Demo they've made
Furina is the one and only, true chaotic queen of theatrics
I think at 6:19 Furina Re-enacting the Traveller's adventures in different regions ...
When Childe running from the melusines reflects the Traveller running from the Millelith, ... LIYUE
Navia to Nuevelette/ Signora to Venti....MONDSTADT
Lyney and Lynette/ Nahida in cage to be saved by the Traveller......SUMERU
MAYBE SPOILERS? - Furina pulling Freminette 's helmet------ Upcoming Fontaine Archon Story Quest...FONTAINE
Chloride VS Wriothesley / Raiden VS Traveller or what @alya6559 says...More like Shogunate vs Resistance Kujo Sara vs Gorou while Furina reflects Raiden Shogun...INAZUMA
Clorinde vs wriothesley more like the shogunate vs the resistence, how furina just watching like raiden who just quietly when her own people fought each other..
meanwhile freminett helped by furina, not like Zhongli who just let his people save themself when osial got awaken.
I thought Childe running from the Melusines reflected the scene where Katheryne (Nahida) running away from the Eremites but got stabbed.
In the last swing scene as well, usually the way hat tossing goes in Europe it’s in a “UFO” way(head cap down), she tossed it upside down for some reason

Also, I was thinking of Limelight's lyrics too!
Lyney and Lynette beating the shit out of that one guy at 4:59 will never be not funny 😂 this demo is the most hilarious demo trailer I have ever seen in genshin istg
It's one of my favorite parts aside from Childe straight up fox lunging at that other poor guy and Clorinde and Navia having a slap at each other. It's all so over the top I love it
Her burst part was so good with the singing.
Furina summarized: *S T Y L E*
I love her, I want her, and I REALLY hope I won't lose her 50/50
Update: won her 50/50 on 51 pity :D
3:39 Wow You have such a good eye! I didn't even realize she was mimicking each archon. You can hear the In Game Switching Character Sound as well
Don't know how much of it is an act but I love how joyful she looks here (hopefully we'll be able to get to that point after whatever's happening in Act V). Happy Furina is best Furina.
Things I noticed/liked though:
1) The way it started with Ousia Furina (interesting way that she partially hid her expression with her hat in the beginning though could just be for the drama) and ended with Pneuma Furina after she threw her misdirect of a top hat (with that funny bit of her making impressions of the other archons right before) away to the other one, leaving them in the spotlight.

My pleasure! Thank you for watching! :)
This demo convinced me to get her to C2. Everything about it is so perfect! Honestly, I'm comfortable with saying this is the greatest demo they have released so far.
Funny how he ACCURATELY predicted fontaine act 5 in his intro 💀
I like how all of the released fontaine characters (including childe) are fighting, but you see Clorinde and Navia coming late
Just to have a face-slapping contest in the middle of everything lmao 4:58
they arent released so hoyoverse wont give us any crumbs 💔
Gloire à Furina, reine des eaux !
All hail Furina, queen of all waters!
I just cannot wait to have her, this trailer was so amazing!!!
What I love of these recent demos is the increase of references to the world quests, for example near the end of furina's demo i spotted Noailles from Unfinished Comedy quest (by the way i find it funny that he also appeared in Wriothesley preview)
And someone finally punched Noailles in the face. Thank you, Freminet 🙏
man furina and fontaine is so hyped, I remember everyone sleeping on fontaine before release but hoyo blew everyone's mind actual W
It's so adorable for everyone in Fontaine to just play along with her shenanigans.
I love how almost the entire Fontaine cast is present here, also including Childe, but not even a single hint of Arlecchino :D Furina really said "I am throwing a party and you are not invited".
Bruh... the vocals got me so good. Love this demo, love Furina. 💙
"All the world's a stage, and all men and women merely players"
It reminded me of this phrase from William Shakespeare
She is an unique archon among all the seven
It's all happy and wholesome until...
You see Carole with the three Melusines chasing Childe (wearing her badge too) 😭.
I love how childe is in this trailer like his a fontaine citizen
What surprised me most is the first ever inclusion of LYRICS in a character demo!
Now im gonna have to learn french.

Her doing the Ei pose though😂😂😂😂😂😂
this is my favourite demo so far now.. the cinematics was just absolutely amazing
Man, I didn`t even realize the archon swings ahaha
Another thing that I’ve seen people notice is the parts that begin with Childe running away from Melusines, it’s the Traveler running away from the Mililith in Liyue, the one with Navia and Neuvillette, La Signora and the Traveler in Monstadt, Lyney in the Oritrice with Lynette on the outside, the Grand Sage and Nahida, Clorinde and Wriothesly squaring off with Furina watching, the showdown with Signora in Inazuma
"that just happened"
Honestly had the same reaction AHAHAHAH
Amazing
0. Childe running from melusine, parodying MC who always be fugitives in every nation
1. Neuvillete get caught by Navia's group, more like parody of Venti caught by fatuus before kicked by Signora
2. Lyney stuck on a glass box, more like parody for Nahida
3. Freminett helped by Furina, not like Zhongli who let his people resolve their own problem.
4. Furina just watching Wriothesley vs Clorinde, like Raiden just quiet while the shogunate vs the resistance battle.

We're actually going to be starting editing work on 4.0 Fontaine content in another week or two, so I'm super excited to be catching up to present-day content as well. If all goes according to play, we should be able to start posting the early bits of the Fontaine Archon Quest Act 1 before Natlan releases later this year!!!

"Furina is going to break Genshin"
Sir, you didn't know how correct that statement is XD
W8, I'm stumped after you said your theory about Furina and the Prophecy at the beginning. That's kind of cool and it make sense LMAOO
I am beyond hyped right now
ブランコでちゃんと地域ごとの色に気づいたのすごい！
Are we gonna talk about Lyney and lynette jumping that one dude at the end LMAAAO.
Lyney throws cards at him, while Lynette literally kicks ass at him.
This demo did it. This demo *friggin* did it for me. I have decided to pull for Furina, and thus....I am skipping Baizhu QvQ (I'm sorry Baizhu TvT)
ONE OF US! ONE OF US!
@@MurderofBirdsImpact 😂
I need to stay strong.im gonna get her in her rerun
Furina is such a interesting archon and cant wait to see how this all comes to a close and her story quest
A live action of a chief justice kneeing a prison guard is spotted (is this how phys neuvilette is gonna be?) 😂 and i think childe even dropkicked someone too 😂😭
Probably gonna be one of my only c6r5 characters, actually one of my only characters I get cons on even. Though I’m too poor to do it first banner, but eventually she will be c6’d.
yup i never notice the archons swings until you mention it, this is why i come here.
Furina was in the news in the Philippines...that's how much of a celebrity she is lmao
How big was her demo’s influence in the Philippines?
Neuvillette kneeing some guard in the background at the end is the funniest shit ever
I was so surprised when that song started playing near the end. I wonder if it's french or just french sounding like language in Gravity Rush.
it is you can find the lyrics in the description of the original video
What’s a nice detail in the trailer is that in furinas theme where everyone’s fighting in chaos is that some lyrics in the back are french which Is a nice detail
Furina may be my favourite character in genshin.when I first time see her in fontaine archon quest 1,I was fascinated by her cuteness and liveliness.I can‘t wait for pulling her!
definitely worth the wait! thanks for this one Arnold! can't wait for the AQ,
"Physical Neuvillete is not real. He won't hurt you." 👍
yaass amazing, i always love your uploads! Couldn't wait for you to react to her and here it is🎉
eu timezone here and I woke up to this character demo video and it literally made my day ❤
I’m really wondering if 4:45 is directly referencing Marie Antoinette. Furina is literally just sitting enjoying some cake as those around her are fighting and through all the chaos occurring she’s literally just having fun ; much like how Antoinette would.
Obviously we know that there’s a lot of influence from Marie Antoinette and her reign, more under terms that we know she wasn’t serving her people properly.
That guillotine is looking extra sharp rn
I lost it when Freminet's helmet went flying by the end
Her demo is so fun and lovable, I love seeing her smiling and I can't wait to see what we're going to learn on the next patch ❤
She's so classy! Can't wait until later! Finally our curiosity will be served
4:14 that is Red Empress and no one can tell me otherwise
Furina just bullying seal and crab that can't fight back... sound about right...
she is basically a RL streamer.
4:50 She let everyone fight each other, then cast The Singer to heal all of them :v
Arnold with another banger back to back to back
THE BEST CHARACTER IN THE GAME I LOVE HER SO MUCH
A few things interesting about the demo is that reversed for the characters throughout the demo and the second half are supposed to represent the various moments in the various archon quest to date that has fatui involvement. Childe normally would fight rather than flee. (Is supposed to be our escape from in Liyue when Zhongli showed up "dead" when Childe helped us escape) Neuvillette who is the judge is getting arrested by Navia who is like a mafia boss. (representing Signora stealing Venti's gnosis) Lyney is in the water tank rather than Lynette. (Representing Nahida's self isolation after being cornered by Dattore) And Clorinde vs Wriothesley are friends having a fight (is Signora fighting before the throne with us, with Furina in the background being Raiden) (Another role reversal is in the beginning when Furina, being as weak as she is, is stepping up to fight for Clorinde.
So given all these facts, I wonder what we can gather from the remaining parts. We see Freminet drowning from his diving helmet (again reverse) with Furina removing the helmet, and this is seemingly supposed to represent the events of Fontaine. (And given the previous moments, also an interaction with the Fatui)
Another interesting part is the finale with the cast beating the NPCs up. Given who each characters are supposed to represent previously, I wonder if it is perhaps also foreshadowing for things to come?
I love this demo since its all in good fun, but can actually go several layers deep if we try digging a bit.
THAT WAS MY FAVORITE PART TOO- and I somehow always get chills whenever the French (I think) singing comes in xD
you'd want to crown her Burst first actually. it scales extremely well with levels and increase your whole team's dps instead of just her own.
this is easily the funniest demo ever, just as chaotic as I expected from Furina lmao
"I think I'm gonna crown-"
False, TRIPLE!!!
I love Furina so much ! And I enjoy your reactions on the game a lot ! I really can't wait to see the end of this Archon quest 🥰
Btw, the "maam ?!" is killing me xD
I dunno, but that curtain falling at the end gave me goosebumps and a momentarily sadness. I feel like I'm gonna cry for the hundredth time tomorrow :'>
Tbh when MHY first released Furina, I didn't really like her design, but as the story goes, I fell for her more and more, and her PV and demo just gave me even more reasons to love her. Starting from tomorrow she and Nahida will permanently stay in my team :)
When the music drops, I hear my chance at winning 50/50 rises and many questions pops up in my mind. can't trust anything now, all I thought was " is this foreshadowing?? ". oh yeah, Neuvilette getting arrested is funny.
btw, Maybe it's just me, but you look kinda tired. be sure to take care of your health, Arnold.
10/10 CHARACTER TRAILER!
Someone on twitter pointed out that the scenes with Neuvillette and the others are recreating certain parts of the events the traveler went through in each nation Childe when we had to run back at the start of Liyue, Neuvi when Signora came to stopped us from helping venti, Wrio and Clor is The duel before the throne in Inazuma, and Lyney and Lynette being Nahida and Azar.
Join the cult man, Furina simps are rising by the day. We're strong together.
6:21 that childe scene is the scene where Traveler running away from liyue millelith soldier
6:24 that Navia and Neuvillete scene is the scene where La Signora yoink Venti's Gnosis
6:30 That Lyney and lynette scene is the scene of Nahida when she got locked up in the Surasthana by The Grand Sage
6:33 And in this Freminet and Furina scene is the scene for Furina that's about to get.....👩🗡️ (Get it?)
I've been expecting some depressive lore-related shiet but I've got High School Musical Fontaine version lmao
I ain't complaining though
Girl got flare for theatrics and I appreciate that, lmao
Hoyo somehow made a girlfailure and a girlboss in one cute Archon
Not to mention that she's gorgeous!
Nice point out on the swings, I didn't get that.
Shes a theatre kid your honor
The archons were also arranged so you see green rarity, blue rarity, purple rarity and finally gold rarity, the last one which makes people go crazy, just like with pulls. 😅
I don’t know why. I smile the same time cry. I really hope she will be a happy girl in the future story.
my Favorite demo since Raiden demo
