I noticed that Arlecchino also doesn’t sway her hips nearly as much as the other ladies do. Overall, her posture is noticeably more rigid and formal than the more casual movements of past characters. This makes me wish that other characters could have slightly modified walk cycles so that they can convey their personalities in more ways.
Little details I noticed: Arlecchino actually doesn't have the battle pose (unlike other characters like Raiden who goes into a battle stance after doing 1 or 2 NA). She immediately put away her weapon when she isn't actively swinging it. This most likely is because she sees no reason to use threats of violence to induce fear (edit: current characters have this feature, not just Arle so this point has been proven to be wrong) Arlecchino's hair is marketed as white, but i think it's actually grey (Furina's pure white). This create an effect where she seems to exudes darkness in certain cutscenes (most notable during Archon quests) Her playstyle fits her character. She requires you to get better at dodging unless you have a dedicated shielder. Her pyro infusion isn't timed, so you can take your time (as oppose to Hutao's "fast and loose" character and therefore playstyle). She's patient, she's punishing, she's rewarding and she's self-sufficient.
That last paragraph about Arlecchino's playstyle is why I bid my time getting a new Pyro DPS. I low-key always hated it when ppl recommended HuTao. I just don't like her gameplay. Especially the low HP, big dmg part. My OCD absolutely can't stand it. Arlecchino completely negated that. As long as I can keep her BoL, I'm golden.
Some of the other Fontaine characters share the whole "doesn't have a battle pose" thing! Furina and Chevreuse being the two that I've noticed so far :D
I checked it and Furina and Chevreuse don't have a 'battle pose' either. They too put their weapon away right after each NA. So does Neuvillette but idk weather it's a thing for catalyst users or not
The shoulder thing also is probably stiffer because she's wearing a suit with actual shoulder pad like features, where the clothes are stiff despite her walking gait
Dont think that matters because characters like Ayaka still have jiggle physics in their chest despite having some sort of hard material that would inhibit the movement
Yep when I went into her trial I instantly noticed how her jogging animation is way stiffer than other tall female models like yelans. She doesn't throw her hips to the sides as much as them. Same while walking like you showed. That's also why she bobs up and down more because the hip movement doesn't flatten it out as much. Also she has a new plunge sound when hitting the ground, more juicy. Very cool to see and hopefully they will keep going with this
I love seeing these subtle changes, and thanks for further clarifying more of the differences! I always think that it's little things like this that can really elevate the depth of a game, so I also hope they continue trailing this path!
No heels are practical. No high heels are good for a daily basis lol. There's minor things, but more extreme is that they cause bone problems or arthritis long-term. Fantasy is fun, but ✨️the more you know✨️ lol
Not to mention the higher risk of injury from just existing in them 😂 I worked at a bar for a year and a half and my gimmick was high heels and cute dresses vs the other three girls. The only reason it was possible was the flat floor and it wasn't a long shift. But I've also never worn high heels like that since lmao They hurtie lol
fictionally though it does look cool and honestly it's pretty badass for them to fight so well in heels, i can barely walk in heels let alone run, and forget fighting, i'd fall on my face and get killed 💀
Aside from the discomfort the thinner the heels the more impractical they are, I know those shit are going to be stuck in those griddy metal staircases or floors and painful to balance on metal bars But at least she can stab someone's skull with them 😔
hoyo has been crazy lately with recent female char high heel, like Chiori heel is so high that it made her slightly taller than other medium female char. When the others are swimming in shallow water, Chiori actually stand up 😂
I didn't really consider that unique cause Lisa and Yelan does it in their skills as well, but she IS still the only who does it for the entire duration of her being onfield!
I'm happy that I'm not the only who notice this and I appreciate that they add a small twist on her walking animation; additionally, the way Arlecchino runs downstairs has less bounce compare to other female characters which like you said: more authoritative and refine due to her current rank.
Arlecchino is very strict and intimidating, those are her main characteristics so I'm really glad to see it implemented in her animations. Suits her perfectly!
Xianyun has a very distinctive walking sound too. it seems slightly different for many of the characters. for some it seems to be more about the other clothes making sound tho. the stepping sound being different is nothing new though. the shoulder sway or firmness however seems to be new and it's a very nice touch
Ever since the sumeru update in 2022 I noticed the difference in sounds the shoes make on each character. It’s very small but the difference was very noticeable to me because I used these certain sets of characters daily and they sounded wayy different compared to 2.8 and to each other. My fav comparisons that at first glance that sound similar but aren’t are Albedo + Bennett Raiden + Yelan So when I got Arlecchino I was pleasantly surprised because it was even more apparent how different hers were! Heels clacking on floors has always been a major nice brain scratch for me. No matter the size.
a lot of characters have unique sounds because of items they have on their clothing, but this one is the footwear itself that is different. the only other character with a unique footstep sound like arlecchino's is nahida because she's barefoot
@@rokanwood7458 so like Yelan’s heels hit the ground a lot lighter compared to raiden’s and im sure it’s because the stilettos are completely different in height *and* weight. If you’ve worn heels you’ll get the comparison.
Not just the muscles. It wreaks havoc on basically every joint in the lower half of your body, including the lower spine. Your entire posture is wrong. Humans are not meant to walk like this.
I KNEW HER WALKING ANIMATION LOOKED A LIL DIFFERENT! I always noticed how more sort of authoritative/powerful her walk seemed, it made me feel like a boss whenever I just walked towards something lololol. her aura + the clinks on her shoes made me walk with her a lot she's so fun
I think she also has the highest heels out of all of them. I saw a reddit post about this before about yelan. if you compare the tips of the shoes by swapping, arlecchino's is the shortest literally stiletto(a knife) heels
i like that finally a character walks heel first it bothered me so much with all the others because it looks so akward and irl in heels that's something someone does who can not walk in heels/has never worn them
in my head it is totally implied her heels are blades/knives and the sound just supports it, they can be just metallic but, I take the idea from how much sharper they look in her concept art, guess in game due to technical reasons they are not THAT SHARP, the overall aesthetics, THEY DO LOOK LIKE THEY WERE DELIBERATEDLY MADE WITH THE INTENTION TO CAUSE HARM IN MIND, while still looking like elegant heels, and her teaser when she steps on the guy's head and makes an additional movement and it has a brutal vibe to it, like if she did stab his head with her knife heel shoe thing, I don't know if it is actually farfetched what I'm saying or it would be more farfetched to try to deny it, like it is too obvious, can't cover the sun with one finger
they really put more work into arlecchino :D i cant wait to see more small details like this in future characters-- im also hoping for bigger male models cause wriothesley is definitely/slightly more different than the other male models
Awesome video! Really appreciate you highlighting these cool design details. I loved seeing her animations in game and noticed how distinct she was to other characters but it's awesome seeing some of the details that make up that general distinct vibe here in this video. Much appreciated! 😊
The amount of details they put on Arlecchino is just incredible. I noticed the walk animation the moment I saw the leaks, and I knew she will be a great character. I hope in the future they make more characters like her. Great job with this video!
3:31 this might also be because (if I remember correctly) she is a dancer/ballerina. Mostly in ballerinas is seen that the have an almost 100% efficient movement example is the dude who plays Captain America, he has no bounce/sway in his movement when running
@@tamecountess thought it, since in some of her trailers she does dancing/acting (if I remember correctly) so I took it as a probable reason why. Not anything confirmed or said by hoyo. Just me speculating on the info I got. And to add, the last time I looked at trailers was when she came out
That’s because she suppose to be more princely and manly than other woman characters. She might be one of the only few characters that act like this. But I’m glad she’s a first.
the amount of detail they put into making her unique i was alwasy gonna main her but now it feels like we got tons of love as arle mains when it came to her
interesting! everything is already very detailed in these character animations and i love hoyo for that but the stuff you pointed out can definitely be added in
They really pulled out all stops with Arlecchino giving her so many cool details, lore, gameplay among many many more cool things including an entire anime short to go with her story quest. Genuinely one of the best characters they’ve made in the game so far which really makes me happy since I love the harbingers so much and she was one of the ones who’s interested me the most since the inazuma hidden world quest at the shrine as well as the winter night’s lazzo trailer. Really hope they keep it up for future releases! Also man that chest in the background during the chasm segment was killing me haha
another thing that’s kinda like the shoulders is seen in how she sways her hips. a lot of the other tall women characters have the flowy shoulders and hips, but hers just seem more stern and authoritative. it’s rlly cool and it’s adds so much character fr
Raiden is different too, her post-slash recovery animations are super long and can be cancelled into next attack in the chain at any point during the recovery animation even when done really late. Since she twirls her her naginata during recovery, it all chains together really flashy. Most other characters don't have such long recovery animations and usually they can't chain into next attack in the chain even half-way into recovery.
Here's a fun little tidbit, heel heavily used in wars back in 1700 or 1800s(?), I not sure the exact time frame. They were primarily used by cavalry because they sit better in the stirrups. They were then turned in to a fashion trend amongst noble men before it became part of a wardrobe for women.
They’re getting better and better at designing characters whether it be ults or overall appearance. One character I have big hopes for is Dainslef considering all the lore he holds I feel like his in game gameplay (if he ever gets to be a playable character) will be very interesting
I believe Arle's heels are called lobster claws, or are close to them! I've tried them on once for fun and oh my, it was so hard and kind of (pretty) painful to walk in. It's like what I imagine being up on my toes in ballet would be like, but worse lmao. You definitely need to be way stiffer when wearing them so that's a really interesting detail!
That was one of the first things I saw after pulling her. Her walking anim is more stiff than others characters, even the adult males. That came with some friends saying "she's bricked up with Fentanyl".
Also her normal attack sequence go in a relatively perfect straight line. Like with other characters you deviate a little, but Arlecchino still retains a very “trained” and disciplined way of fighting even though her swinging movements are quite big.
I noticed these things a few days ago as well. Also, if you look closely, even though she uses the tall female model, it looks like it has been slightly altered compared to other tall females.
Based on a fight I had with a Mirror Maiden, Arlecchino's normal attacks also drag and juggles enemies when she pulls her scythe towards her. The footsteps are a thing with ALL the characters. Everyone has a unique sound effect depending on what they're wearing. Which is one of the little things I appreciate with Genshin.
Arle is a special character after all. She SHOULD get this kind of treatment. The archons also get special effects other 5 star characters dont which makes them special as well like the glowing hair and glowing eyes for example. They really went above and beyond for arle though and im excited to see what they have planned for future harbingers and archons!
Ironically apart from no hip sway, Arlecchino has a pretty perfect model/runway walk (since most will walk heel to toe) but that's often a model's preference. She definitely has some HIGH heels and it can genuinely contribute to back pain in real life. That plus that the heel itself is so thin and comes to a sharp point means not only is the impact worse (no wonder she's killed with her shoes before) but that they would be even harder to walk in. Those heels at that height are a genuine miracle, but a ballet professional would likely have a biit more experience with them, so there's that.
I mean... our Archons so far are, a drunkard, a retired broke grandpa, a battle addict who can't cook, a literal child, and an actor with acting ptsd. So yes, I think you can get a bit more authoritative than Archon, especially when your powers might be able to rival them :P
ive already noticed her walking animation seems different from her demo. and when i got her, i tried her walking state and still noticed it but couldnt understand whats make it looks different. Thanks to your video i've finally in relieved.
ahh yeas i noticed these details when i was walking down the mountain in fontaine. realized how Arle's movements are stiffer than the rest of the tall females. probably due to her heels, which makes me love her more ❤️🔥
As a girl: those heels would HURT A LOT to just walk, can't imagine fighting, jumping, running, PLUNGING. Anyway, these details are amazing, good one for noticing them! (also, the chest behind there at the start is striking a nerve AHAHAA)
I noticed that Arlecchino also doesn’t sway her hips nearly as much as the other ladies do. Overall, her posture is noticeably more rigid and formal than the more casual movements of past characters. This makes me wish that other characters could have slightly modified walk cycles so that they can convey their personalities in more ways.
The last character who had a more unique walk animation was Klee before Twitter bitched to change it
And she walks heels first, all the other tall female models begin walking toe-first.
Hoooo, that's another good point!
yeah i noticed that too, i thought she had a different walking animation
U mean mommy’s?
tbf with that type of heels, the only healthy way to walk is with heels first 😭😭
That's why her gait looks more refined and imposing, I knew I wasn't crazy
Little details I noticed:
Arlecchino actually doesn't have the battle pose (unlike other characters like Raiden who goes into a battle stance after doing 1 or 2 NA). She immediately put away her weapon when she isn't actively swinging it.

More like a hole in my freakin wallet...

It still looks like a normal shoe when she walks on sand unfortunately
@@dreisangthefreezer Yeaaa I don't think they go that far on the details yet...
@@GoatLiffykirara has paw prints and it normal footprints in the sand, so ur right.. Time to sue genshin/j

You forgot one interesting difference arlecchino darkens her surroundings in combat without using burst or skill while others don't
I didn't really consider that unique cause Lisa and Yelan does it in their skills as well, but she IS still the only who does it for the entire duration of her being onfield!
@@GoatLiffy I worded it weirdly but what you just said was basically what I was trying to say
It is incredibly interesting
This is ONLY when she is in the Masque of Red Death state, otherwise it is normal
No I have seen that before. With bursts especially.
raiden does is too when she uses her muso no hitotachi
Ah yes, very interesting resin-less info.
Peak AR60 right here xD

Probably finished the new map too
@@gachagamer536 i just recently did. Was proud and disappointed at myself at the same time

The suit have shoulder pads that’s why her shoulders isnt moving with her body while she walks giving the illusion of stiffness
Shoulder pads actually enhance movement. Imagine the movement difference between a short lever and a long lever.
they just aren't moving because she DOES stiffen up her stance, she doesn't even swing her hips like the other female characters
She has a different bone structure in her animations. It's subtle but there's no illusion
How about having eyes.
that’s not why. ayaka is wearing metal breastplates but she has jiggle there
Arlecchino is very strict and intimidating, those are her main characteristics so I'm really glad to see it implemented in her animations. Suits her perfectly!
Xianyun has a very distinctive walking sound too. it seems slightly different for many of the characters. for some it seems to be more about the other clothes making sound tho. the stepping sound being different is nothing new though. the shoulder sway or firmness however seems to be new and it's a very nice touch

I love how respectful you sound throughout the video!
Aha, thank you! I try my best xD
I think she also has the highest heels out of all of them. I saw a reddit post about this before about yelan. if you compare the tips of the shoes by swapping, arlecchino's is the shortest
literally stiletto(a knife) heels
Girl literally tip toeing while fighting fulltime, I can't even tiptoe for 3 seconds without crumbling :P
Okay, but Arlecchino's heels are LITERALLY Fashion statement.
i like that finally a character walks heel first
it bothered me so much with all the others because it looks so akward and irl in heels that's something someone does who can not walk in heels/has never worn them
in my head it is totally implied her heels are blades/knives and the sound just supports it, they can be just metallic but, I take the idea from how much sharper they look in her concept art, guess in game due to technical reasons they are not THAT SHARP, the overall aesthetics, THEY DO LOOK LIKE THEY WERE DELIBERATEDLY MADE WITH THE INTENTION TO CAUSE HARM IN MIND, while still looking like elegant heels, and her teaser when she steps on the guy's head and makes an additional movement and it has a brutal vibe to it, like if she did stab his head with her knife heel shoe thing, I don't know if it is actually farfetched what I'm saying or it would be more farfetched to try to deny it, like it is too obvious, can't cover the sun with one finger

Thats because she's "Father" I hope genshin continues this and give subtle differences in the future
Nice vid!
With every new character they do their best to improve or create. Though old characters never gets these updates, it's still good.
I guess Diluc was the only who got an upgrade but it also had to come in an expensive skin :P
Awesome video! Really appreciate you highlighting these cool design details. I loved seeing her animations in game and noticed how distinct she was to other characters but it's awesome seeing some of the details that make up that general distinct vibe here in this video. Much appreciated! 😊
Her movements seem more deliberate than those of the other characters, which I think suits her quite well.
That kinda heel is called a stiletto! Which if i remember correctly means tiny knife in french
It is italian and mean dagger ;)

@@mistt6324 agreed i love her
So I was not the only one who noticed her heels sounds different I just love small details
FINALLY someone else noticed the walking animations are different!!!
the heels are definitely vaiable and necessary cuz how else would she crush enemies' skull?
5:16 that would be nice, it would give each characters more personality and make them unique or something like that
She doesn’t sway her hips as much where as the other in the video did
Her body language is very stiff, and hoyo has portrayed a lot through body language. The Traveller is a great example of this.
You forgot to show the way Arlecchino spins her polearm around her waist
the amount of detail they put into making her unique
i was alwasy gonna main her but now it feels like we got tons of love as arle mains when it came to her
Always feels good when the one you're about to main is given the amount of attention you wanted them to give and more :D
She's walking on deepslate
She bringing hell alongside her xD
interesting! everything is already very detailed in these character animations and i love hoyo for that but the stuff you pointed out can definitely be added in

Really hope they keep it up for future releases!
Also man that chest in the background during the chasm segment was killing me haha
Let the chest beeee...... xD
I love the metal click clacking when she walks too!!!
Awesome thank you for sharing those details, really liked it
Thanks for coming by!
arlechinnos steps are more menacing
literally the drippiest grim reaper
she walks like that to be able to balance wearing those heels, very realistic!
I just love this subtle details Genshin is adding to the characters, like on how the polearm splits Chevreuse hair when she puts it behind.
waited for her for 2 years and it was worth every moment. Top tier character in all respects.
2:46 I know most of ya'll are NOT looking at the shoulders
Just look a little bit higher would you xD
i seriously thought i was losing it, but i was right, THANK U
It was so different compared to four years of the same walk that I noticed instantly.
IKR? It's just the moment you walk into the trial and you just see it...
jogging is also different but sprinting stays the same, hope they bring this change to bring more individuality among the characters
another thing that’s kinda like the shoulders is seen in how she sways her hips. a lot of the other tall women characters have the flowy shoulders and hips, but hers just seem more stern and authoritative. it’s rlly cool and it’s adds so much character fr
That's so cool!! I'm hoping they'll do this with columbina too ^^
I’ve also noticed Furina has a different footstep noise, more tap tap tap. Also Cyno and Nahida have different walk noises cuz they’re barefoot.
The moment you pointed out the shoes I cried for her ankles because even ridens would hurt after a while
side note I really like how calming your voice is!
Ehehe, I don't entirely get that often so thank yous :D
Arlecchino just has too many details, very nice and deep insight on the video
Ayyy! Thank you for the video that inspired this :D
Nahida gives you a blink 😉 as if to say "Congratulations on doing the simplest combo in the game" and for me that's insurmountable 💚
Gotta pat ourselves on the back somehow xD
she’s literally so fierce
Other wearing pumps high heels, she’s wearing stilettos.
hoyo animators: someone notice it!!!
Welp, gotta toss em a cookie every now and then, right?
they made her heels like that to step on her simps!
Guess I'll volunteer as subject number one then xD
Raiden is different too, her post-slash recovery animations are super long and can be cancelled into next attack in the chain at any point during the recovery animation even when done really late. Since she twirls her her naginata during recovery, it all chains together really flashy. Most other characters don't have such long recovery animations and usually they can't chain into next attack in the chain even half-way into recovery.
She's walking like everything is calculated. Like soldier almost ❤
Her walking animation resembles an elegant form of marching.
1:38 OHHH I love this detail. My dda asked me what was wrong and I said high quality details get to me in a good way
Hopefully you kept it PG in front of your dad XD
I knew she was walking differently! I just couldn't point out why. I thought it was all in my head...
Thats why i love characters mainly DPS who rely on their normal attacks. Cuz thats the ART and BEAUTY of them
Here's a fun little tidbit, heel heavily used in wars back in 1700 or 1800s(?), I not sure the exact time frame. They were primarily used by cavalry because they sit better in the stirrups. They were then turned in to a fashion trend amongst noble men before it became part of a wardrobe for women.
They’re getting better and better at designing characters whether it be ults or overall appearance. One character I have big hopes for is Dainslef considering all the lore he holds I feel like his in game gameplay (if he ever gets to be a playable character) will be very interesting
The day Dainsleif and Skirk gets released then it will be the true independence day xD
and her left side eye follow our zooom and somehow talk about we seeing her eyes
But we look at her eyes regardless xD
i noticed her walking style the moment i started playing her...
I believe Arle's heels are called lobster claws, or are close to them! I've tried them on once for fun and oh my, it was so hard and kind of (pretty) painful to walk in. It's like what I imagine being up on my toes in ballet would be like, but worse lmao. You definitely need to be way stiffer when wearing them so that's a really interesting detail!
her walking animation really reminds of Fu Hua a lot!!
That was one of the first things I saw after pulling her.
Her walking anim is more stiff than others characters, even the adult males. That came with some friends saying "she's bricked up with Fentanyl".
Omg your friends are beyond belief xD
Bricked up with fentanyl is FOUL yoooo
i indeed am giving attention to the shoulders
*Insert john cena* Are you sure about that??
I just realized that genshin character walking on stone is sounds like minecraft grasswalk
Trueeee its like a mix of the stone and grass block sounds
Also her normal attack sequence go in a relatively perfect straight line. Like with other characters you deviate a little, but Arlecchino still retains a very “trained” and disciplined way of fighting even though her swinging movements are quite big.
We found the golden child guys
I noticed these things a few days ago as well. Also, if you look closely, even though she uses the tall female model, it looks like it has been slightly altered compared to other tall females.
I think it also helps that her hair isnt swaying basically at all? So it gives more to the illusion of having a very firm stance
Based on a fight I had with a Mirror Maiden, Arlecchino's normal attacks also drag and juggles enemies when she pulls her scythe towards her.
The footsteps are a thing with ALL the characters. Everyone has a unique sound effect depending on what they're wearing. Which is one of the little things I appreciate with Genshin.
Arle is a special character after all. She SHOULD get this kind of treatment. The archons also get special effects other 5 star characters dont which makes them special as well like the glowing hair and glowing eyes for example. They really went above and beyond for arle though and im excited to see what they have planned for future harbingers and archons!
Ironically apart from no hip sway, Arlecchino has a pretty perfect model/runway walk (since most will walk heel to toe) but that's often a model's preference.
She definitely has some HIGH heels and it can genuinely contribute to back pain in real life. That plus that the heel itself is so thin and comes to a sharp point means not only is the impact worse (no wonder she's killed with her shoes before) but that they would be even harder to walk in. Those heels at that height are a genuine miracle, but a ballet professional would likely have a biit more experience with them, so there's that.
Who gets more authoritative than an archon. She's masculine af. Thats the word you're looking for.
I mean... our Archons so far are, a drunkard, a retired broke grandpa, a battle addict who can't cook, a literal child, and an actor with acting ptsd.
So yes, I think you can get a bit more authoritative than Archon, especially when your powers might be able to rival them :P
ive already noticed her walking animation seems different from her demo. and when i got her, i tried her walking state and still noticed it but couldnt understand whats make it looks different. Thanks to your video i've finally in relieved.
the heels were the first thing i heard in the trial and I immediately pulled on her cuz of that. XD
ahh yeas i noticed these details when i was walking down the mountain in fontaine. realized how Arle's movements are stiffer than the rest of the tall females. probably due to her heels, which makes me love her more ❤️🔥
As a girl: those heels would HURT A LOT to just walk, can't imagine fighting, jumping, running, PLUNGING. Anyway, these details are amazing, good one for noticing them! (also, the chest behind there at the start is striking a nerve AHAHAA)
arlecchino is probably going to be very important to the story. so they gave her extra love.
I think she was revealed to be from Khaenri'ah, so she would defo be important :p
arlecchino mines amethyst with her heels
Would've been a more common use case rather than to have it split skulls xD
Arlecchino heel will kill your foot.
Chiori heel will make you sprain ankle
Any sort of heels will break mine regardless xD
Mihoyo has set up a new standard for making and promoting a character
I love Arlecchino. She is peak
They aint called stilettos for nothing.
even her heels are weaponized. there's so much little details
love u goatliffy
Stilettos really sound sharp.
