Escoffier's full model is revealed and it's not as bad as I feared. Kind of like a burlesque dancer's interpretation of a chef which is a step better than a stripper's. She also fights holding her weapon with her tail, which is kinda cool.
Ifa's animations are some of the best yet, why they made this guy a 4 star I will never know. Except that bust, that's a 4 star burst for sure.
30 pulls and only got one Iansan, but Tighnari broke my pity so I have about 50ish chances to try this again. The new volcano area didn't give a good first impression as I stumbled around trying to find the new domain and Iansan's level up materials. Ran into quest after quest after quest trigger all while dodging rocks and volcanic debris, just leave me alone! The tabkasaur controls are super unintuitive too, killed the poor guy more than once just trying to break rocks.
Nothing new on the Kinich VA situation. The old va is likely still under NDA but I'd hoped other strikers would explain. Still going to wait until the truth comes out then decide how I feel about this game.

I'm wrapping up the finale of the "Chosen of Dragons" world quest series (not the official name but you know what I mean), and... Has anyone actually tried seeing what would happen if you choose to activate the superweapon rather than deactivate it?
Also, side-note, I pulled Varesa on my second 10-roll. Nice!

Effie's model is atrocious. She forgot to put on a shirt. She is butt-ass naked under her apron and the straps connect to nothing in order to show maximum sideboob. They're floating off of her shoulders. It's not sexy, it's ridiculous. This is supposed to be a serious chef? Plus her tail isn't even a tail, it looks like an electrical cord plugged into her mid-back.
Her animations are even worse than Varessa's. Her tail does the attacking while she poses and ass shots the camera and enemies. Are the devs smoking crack? The descent into pure goonery in Natlan is insane.

Oissu!Honestly insane she's from the same place as Navia and Furina
It's always nice when a character's an easy pass
ED: Is Escoffier one of the silhouettes?

Bewitching EyesShe is, yes.
My take on chef girl is that she looks like she's wearing lingerie with a thingy in the back to give the illusion that those are definitely real clothes she's wearing.
My take on Ifa is that I'm not against 4-stars, but he's definitely a case of looking cooler than the 5-star to the point that I wish he was also the 5-star. Also gun. That's cool.
Goddammit, Schezo... || *insert incredibly thirsty copypasta about Dr. Ratio*The Escoffier we should have had (fan edit)
This is so much better. She'd actually look like a chef if she wore this.

Yeah, it's a lot better.
I know I said Effie's design wasn't bad as I feared and while I stand by that I didn't notice how little clothing she had up top due to her hair. And it really bugs be that her tail connects to her mid-back instead of her tailbone, it does look more like a power chord. And Ifa is just right there looking 1000% cooler.
The tail weilding her weapon though is great, I'm not budging on that.
The frustrating part is it's not like the whole game has gone to shit. I am liking the new map, especially the place you go trying to heal the Little One (not gonna say more than that to avoid spoilers). I like the environmental storytelling of enemies running away and taking shelter when the volcano erupts. There's still good things about Genshin, but the character designs and the philosophy they represent are getting worse and worse.

He can fit in any team really, the fact that he's an Anemo character who can run Cinder City is very strong
Lynette's VA, Anairis Quiones, puts out a plea for Hoyoverse to negotiate with the union.
Absolutely scummy that a billion dollar company would rather fire its VAs than sort things out.

Honestly it was more the circular floatiness plus the beaked mask
Ey, migi vuru?
