While Ruan Mei may not fit that second paragraph if it's true that "Ruan Mei's drip marketing and pretty much everything up until they expose her God Complex is also very flirty and fanservicey, she got that 'mommy energy' pushed HARD... " I would say that she absolutely counts as an example of Ms. Fanservice.

This is her trailer. She plays music and does absolutely nothing flirty whatsoever in two minutes.

The "mommy energy" did not come from the drip marketing, it came from community memes. Her character is centered about how horrible she is with human relationships, it's basically incompatible to say that she seems motherly even if she has the voice and looks.

Well, based on the survey, I'm pretty certain they're intending to bring the Baseballer gameplay back. Might be a while before we see it again, though

On the subject of page revision, should most of the general tropes in the Luofu page and the Vidyadhara tropes under the same general trope folder in the same page be moved to the main Xianzhou Alliance section in the main character page? Feels like they describe the Xianzhou Alliance as a whole instead of just the Luofu

They showed silhouettes of 7 new characters at the end of the stream, two of which we already know as Yunlin and Jiaoqiu.

They most likely will be revealed in a few hours at the Summer Games Fest stream.

The first phase's LC Banner is hella stacked, I hope my character pulls will be lucky enough that I can dip into this.

ZZZ probably going to have a character trailer

Genshin should have a Natlan trailer.

And Star Rail with the new characters.

SGF is the Hoyo show.

Wasn't the previous time Hoyo had a Star Rail trailer in a Geoff Keighley event, was when Acheron got officially revealed for the first time? I remember the veteran Hoyo fans shouting "Raiden Mei" the moment she appeared on-screen. Who knows, maybe we'll finally get a Kiana look-alike in the next few hours? *inhales copium*

If anything though, I also expect something relevant to Zenless Zone Zero in Summer Game Fest 2024, obviously. These past years had MiHoYo making good use of the huge marketing advantage from Geoff Keighley's events.

Okay, I guess we're just not doing new 4*s anymore? I feel like they should have waited until after they created a 4* imaginary damage-dealer for this, at least. But I guess fewer characters is easier on the writing team

...I don't really want any of the 5*s on offer. Might throw a few (40) tickets at a banner to get Dan Heng eidolons if that's a possiblity, though

Ooh, new Herta light cone. ...For erudition? Huh, I thought these were supposed to help the Trailblazer

Oh, the DU is a rebalance for the new worlds, not existing ones

...And we're starting with Argenti? Thought we'd kicked him over to G&G. This isn't going to help with catching up

AS is standard bosses. The welfare is someone I actually use on occasion, so that's nice

These new relics sound useful for characters I'm working on now. What am I supposed to do for the next two weeks!

New trailer dropped.

One, confirmed that March will get her second skin.

And two, damn it if this isn't close to making Caefly official.

Instead of focusing on relatives that divide us, we should find the absolutes that tie us.

Different weapon, presumably not a skin. Most likely a 4* welfare?

If every other character previewed for the Xianzhou Wardance is likely going to be playable, I'm fairly sure this is the March alt they teased a while back on one of the streams.

#1938: Jun 7th 2024 at 6:24:04 PM

Okay, assuming March 7th (Wardance) is the 2.4 ✦✦✦✦ and 2.3 is just a weirdly barren patch, then we can get done with the Xianzhou in two patches (with one character bleeding over to the next). Assuming a stop at the space station to pick up Screwllum, that takes us to 2.6 and potentially the end of 2.x in general. Or we could also have continuations for Belobog and Penacony and go all the way to 2.8

The only reason I'm not going to call Hoyo cowards for this advertising (after sticking to Stelle for so long) is that they weren't afraid to stick to Aether for multiple romantic Xiao advertisements, and the fact that Sam just looks badass in a gender-neutral way. (Otherwise switching your advertised MC gender as soon as a same-sex love interest comes along would get you on the judgement list.)

Does anyone actually read these?

Does Fei Xiao have a gunblade? cause that is what it feels like when I look at her silhouette.

Free 4 Star Imaginary March confirmed. Apparently you get her from an event.

Huh, so that makes her the second character ever to have an alternate selectable Path... after the Trailblazer got their third.

I wonder if they plan on using this system to make March 7th in every path now tongue

Another Imaginary character, huh. I like how I went from going months without one, to the game just drowning me in those now, it has to be my most represented element on my roster at this point.

[up] And with that we finally have a legitimate Imaginary Girl other than Yukong after we ignore the community meme about Stelle because of how the Trailblazers work

Honestly, if March gets a new cosplay whenever we land on a new planet, I'll be happy.

#1947: Jun 7th 2024 at 11:57:41 PM

Huh, this is exactly what I was expecting, path, type, method of unlock and all. ...I'd have preferred basically any other type, though. Kinda drowning in imaginary units now. Not even going to help new players get past Yanqing

So, girls can be imaginary if they're 4* welfares, but quantum still requires you to be female, I guess

Still waiting for an actual male Harmony unit since Sunday is unlikely to be that path (don't mention Caelus to me)

Remember the old Version 1.0 days when there were so few Imaginary characters? Or the time when Quantum was getting so many chars, it popularized "Mono Quantum"? Now we're getting many Imaginary characters back-to-back!

This kinda reminds me of what Cygames did in Granblue Fantasy... one year, a specific element gets the spotlight... then on the next year, it's a different element taking the spotlight.
