anemo berry
She showed off the cryo eye of God throughout the entire plot
You must have gone through the story poorly if she's showing off her cryo eye to you.
Wait, Nefer is Dendro
I saw the characters, they will come out in 2025, they are good characters.
Xbalanque will definitely not be a playable character. He rests in peace, sorry for the spoiler. Just like Capitano.
Xbalanque, yes, but they can do anything with the time travel theme) Technically, Capitano doesn't exist and can be resurrected.
These rumors about time travel have been circulating for years. I think they started back when Signora died, and everyone immediately started saying, "What if they give us a regime with Teyvat in the past, where she's still alive?" And things are still the same.
I can imagine a small mode from the past, just popping in and out, for the sake of the story. But that still doesn't allow you to add a character to your current prayers. Genshin Impact doesn't even add altered versions of characters, like in XI3 and XSR. Although it would seem there are no violations here; it's just a character in a new form.
The main problem is that promoting a character will be difficult. They have to appear in events and interact with other characters. Even if it's "I'm a grump, I'm bad (like Skara)" or "I'm not from this world (like Skirk)," it still has to be "I was passing by, and there was a party going on, so I decided to drop in."
And if you're talking about a full-fledged resurrection-transformation, like you did with Durin, then that's really starting to confuse me. We won't be able to communicate with the real Durin at all. It's essentially a character reset. He doesn't inherit his personality, memories, or appearance. It's purely a case of "oh, I liked his name, and we're kind of related, let me take over his personality." Maybe that'll work once, but not with every character!? Otherwise, it would have been downright stupid to dedicate Mavuika's entire, already dumb, quest (where she suddenly declares she's defeated Xbalanque, despite completely different circumstances) to his sendoff.
Sorry for writing so much text. I couldn't resist.
Excuse me, since Arlecchino is from Fontaine, why doesn't she have Pneuma or Usya?
Moreover, the Scarlet Moon is associated with Kaenriah
She has the Eye of God from Snowy. And/or she wasn't born in Fontaine after all.
She wasn't born in Fontaine, so there's no pneuma or ousia.
