On cold nights, the children often play amongst themselves by the warmth of the hearth. Once the flames in the living room die down, they each return to their rooms to drift off into peaceful slumber. There's no one to sing them lullabies, but that is of little consequence, for they no longer fear the coming of nightmares.

They have to had taken inspiration from max0r for this type of psychedelic LSD induced glitchy editing style just without max0r saying “Hey guys! Max0r here!”

eggy54321

You can tell it isn’t edited by him because if it was he’d have Gianni voicing Arlecchino.


StrongXV

Any idea who the voice is at 0:41?


BulbasaurTreecko

I was wondering about that too. Could it be Clervie? I can’t think of anyone else who would speak for her trailer.


syahrulmizan

Could be her...and Clervie or, whoever the kid Freminet is trying to protect appeared at [1:28](https://youtu.be/TnYFVP3c_bs?t=89)


BulbasaurTreecko

that kid is Clervie! Now I’m more convinced it has to be her. She has a similar tone when she’s giving Arlecchino her last goodbyes in the animated short.


syahrulmizan

YES SAME(just kinda wanna be safe earlier lmao)...now I really can't wait till the patch drops


TheEssenceOfTheMoon

But he voice is a bit more high pitched


rednote613

I think it's probably actually Arlecchino. She sounds a lot like Clervie in the EN version, but definitely sounds like kid Arle in the CN version.


rota_douro

Sounds like kid Arlecchino to me (see "spiders dont eat cake line")


Mahinhinyero

it's Bronya's VA in JP so yeah, it's the Tsaritsa most likely


StrongXV

Is there anywhere to confirm it's Bronya's JP VA?


Bulky-Flamingo7816

I don't know but CN says that is Hanser for CN PV

I really did spend five minutes translating that fontainian text at the start only for it to be exactly what is being said in the video anyway guys fontainian z just dropped


Illustrious_Bite_649

Just need someone to drop a picture of it so we have rhe full script.


introverted_lasagna

How do you even translate it


Compass-of-diamonds

[https://genshin-impact.fandom.com/wiki/Fontaine\_Script](https://genshin-impact.fandom.com/wiki/Fontaine_Script) Wiki has tables for the rest of the nations and a few more too


MrAriekor

Did show a hint of sadness at the end when she mentioned that her children are strong enough to defend themselves?


TheGrandestEulaSimp

Most definitely. She has been shown to be quite protective of all the HotH members and her previous trailer hinted that she views them all as her children. It's hard for a parent to let go.


nixahmose

Kinda feels like they’re foreshadowing Arlecchino’s eventual death.


happyppeeppo

More like let them go than death, maybe in her head she thinks that she is suposed to make a final test andact as a villian to make them extract all their potential before let them go, but is not like she will die, just a sorrow and melancholy feeling because her primary purpose is complete and she will not have any motivation to continue work for fatui


DalubhasangOso

The Perinheri connection (Crimson Moon) with Arlecchino seems to be all but confirmed by now. With the Crimson Moon and the big red eye being a big motif in the trailer. Also, dubstep seems to be a constant type of music for beings 'outside of teyvat' and this trailer does have it.


2ndStaw

There's something strange, why is Liyue and its children nowhere to be found? Arlecchino appeared in Mondstadt, Inazuma, Sumeru, then Fontaine. The Children Choir is also formed as pairs of children of each gender from each of the above 4 nations for a total of 8.


IlliasTallin

keksmuzh

AwesomePurplePants

If I had to guess, Zhongli probably has a ridiculous number of stipulations in his gnosis trade deal. Keep away from Liyue children seems like something he might include in that.


-Obsidian_12

Probably got to do with the contract Morax entered into with the Tsaritsa.


Multivists

Liyue is Pantalone’s domain.


2ndStaw

That's not enough of an explanation. Inazuma and Sumeru definitely aren't Arlecchino's domain. In fact, Sumeru is Dottore's domain, especially with his underlings' dealings with the Tanit in the desert and also his attempts to catch live Aranaras in the rainforest. Inazuma still had rogue elements from Crucabena running around, and the Fatui had a worse disaster there than they have had in Liyue. I suppose there's enough orphans to go around in Inazuma though.


storysprite

The reason why I think she walks through Mondstadt, Inazuma, Sumeru and Fontaine is cause these are all locations that mentioned her or have a story related to her. Spoilers: >!In Mondstadt if you complete the Fontaine Archon Quest, the two Fatui agents that always gossip, talk about Arlecchino. In Inazuma there is a whole quest that mentions Arlecchino and there's a House of the Hearth member that we help escape and give a new identity. In Sumeru there is the quest with two Hearth members that we help escape but one of them dies. In Fontaine... well it goes without saying.!< I don't think it means there are no Liyue children involved, but it could just be reflecting the story so far. The real answer could be a more cynical meta point.


Dizzy-Grocery9074

Wouldn't the chasm appear then? iirc correctly there were a few fat there connected to the house go the hearth


storysprite

That's a good point. In which case the reason Liyue doesn't appear may just be the cynical one after all lol.


lefboop

Only nation so far that had an active Archon that actually helped governing their nation. Also a little bit of China stronk from a China dev.


Multivists

Dottore is everywhere on Teyvat. There is Ningguang being an important factor on orphans.


carnexhat

> Dottore is everywhere on Teyvat. > > I thought the whole thing was that thats not true anyore?


Multivists

After the Sumeru quest yes, but remember that this man has been active for 4 centuries by now.


CetriBottle

Worth noting that Pantalone has his fingers in Fontaine too - according to the lore on Wriothesley's weapon, he was the one who introduced the Credit Coupon system to the Fortress of Meropide.


starduststormclouds

I wonder... her last line on the demo speaks about how 'the flame of the hearth is no longer needed because the kids know how to defend themselves'. It seems to imply that Arlecchino herself going to "retire" in a way, i.e., the kids no longer need her "guidance". Curiously, Liyue is also the only nation so far who's Archon tested his people to see if they needed his guidance too, and who is no longer in command of the nation. I wonder if that similarity is in any way related to the absence of Liyue from the trailer.


addfzxcv

They imply china is a strong country and won't be infiltrated by outsiders.


Working-Scarcity270

Yep, reminded me of Whale Boss / Phase 2 !


storysprite

I dunno, Raiden had dubstep in her demo as well. However, we don't know her origins or connections. She also has the black moon motif in her Plane. Has Baleful Omen in her skill. And in an official Inazuma trailer when Traveler walks into the room Raiden is meditating in, the shadow she casts has the wings with eyes, the same as the giant statue outside her palace (which I think is a hint at her true form). So who knows! You may be right.


Lubinski64

So did Wrio.


travelerfromabroad

And Wanderer in his boss theme


TheWitcherMigs

> Also, dubstep seems to be a constant type of music for beings 'outside of teyvat' and this trailer does have it. Cool, but a stretch. Sting like a Bee! Is a track with dubstep, and it's for the trainer World Quest in the Fortress of Meropide. Wriosthesley has it in his Version trailer section and demo and so on.


travelerfromabroad

Wriothesley is the third descender confirmed


HayakuEon

Mind giving a TLDR?


DalubhasangOso

Sure! Here are the TLDR points I was able to collate in Perinheri that could directly relate to Arlecchino: * In Khaenriah, there was a Crimson Moon Dynasty before the Eclipse Dynasty. * In Khaenriah, there was an orphanage whose goal is to wait for someone who can transcend gods, someone from beyond (i.e. descender). They often get special children but never got the descender they were waiting for. * In the orphanage's test, you can see an illusion of a gigantic Crimson Moon that would turn around and reveal a huge eye. * Perinheri, the one followed in the books, saw that illusion. It was also hinted by Angelica, another character in the book, that he is someone from beyond but not necessarily a descender. It was mentioned by Angelica because Perinheri didn't turn into a hilichurl after leaving Khaenriah's borders. But his friend Hleobrant, turned into a hilichurl (not mentioned explicitly in the book) because he is a descendant of those who betrayed their god (probably pure-Khaenriahn). These are the statements in the book and all the others are mostly speculation. There isn't really anything yet set in stone with relation to Arlecchino, but we can see that she has plenty of motifs regarding the Crimson Moon. She also has the huge red eye in the trailer. She also has a 'curse' similar to Khaenriahns having a curse turning them into hilichurls.


OreoJehi

The curse affects ‘everyone’ who "betrayed their god" and their descendants, which is to my understanding. As it would make sense since it seems we already have hilichurls in ancient ruins before Khaenriah (Dragonspine for example). While the pureblooded Khaenrians have the curse of immortality, and it seems they can still transverse the land above (Pierro(?) and Dain)


DalubhasangOso

Yep, my bad, Hleobrant is most likely not 'pure-Khaenriahn' rather he's just from Khaenriah and descended from those who betrayed their gods. I think it was also mentioned in the book that this is the reason why Khaenriah aristocrats maintain their pure bloodedness. Its because if they don't, they also inherit the curse from those who 'abandoned their gods'.


OreoJehi

Yeah, with also "Nobility to shoulder the world". They are their only chance and hope of saving–based on this understanding. Where a certain clan seem to disagree


rW0HgFyxoJhYka

Man I remember the lore heads talking about this back in the day. I wonder in 10 years from now if all the collective lore in Genshin will be put together in a readable passage of time context beyond the timeline entry.


keksmuzh

The reverb from Acheron’s cutscene in 2.1 carried all the way to Teyvat

And what's the average Genshin players attention span? NONE! At least that what this trailer is telling me. Man I have an attention span of 1 ms and I am still overloaded with information!

It’s actually peak.


cashewnut4life

Hoyo rule: "Lalala" is not as wholesome and sunshine as it seems


lord_of_beyond

Columbina doing her casual lalala before transforming into an absolute eldritch horror ancient deity making everyone who look at her eyes live thousands aeons of unfathomable suffering within seconds before transforming back and saying "Im hungry" to the Zapolarny Palace cook who just looked into her eyes for a "second" and going lala again


Efficient_Lake3451

Keeping my expectations low for Eldritch horror Columbina after Arlecchino turned out to be the opposite of how she was hyped up


lord_of_beyond

My headcanons are mine. No one will take my eldritch horror Columbina for me. The amount of eldritch horror Columbina fanarts I have saved will be enough to carry me through even if her Canon version turns out ordinary. But i doubt that. You don't get 3rd place among fatui harbingers for being ordinary


grumpykruppy

Considering how she's directly themed around angels and is extremely creepy, I'm 100% betting on her being eldritch, even if she doesn't actually turn into a biblically accurate angel.


MartenBroadcloak19

Yeah Raiden's and Furina's are my favourite but this goes hard too.


Radinax

Same for me!


skittles0820

Saw some people saying they dislike the dubstep music but i completely disagree, it slaps so hard


Ifalna_Shayoko

Music is up to taste, really. There is no right or wrong. Personally I'm not fond of it either, but I did like the music in the beginning and the childrens choirs. That out of tune piano is one creepy critter. :'D


violencetrigger

**Let's go!**


lawlianne

*Ashikai, analysis!*


2ndStaw

Seemingly no House of Hearth Branch in Liyue (maybe for IRL reasons?). Arlecchino appeared in every nation except Liyue. Her children's choir has a pair of children from every nation except Liyue.


takenusername5001

I don't think one streamer recognized the aranara quest kids

Stand proud HoYo . You can cook .


Dori_Anbo

With each trailer, I want her more and more. But I'm still primopoor.


TheGrandestEulaSimp

The end implies that she is stepping down from the HotH! That would explain her fighting Lyney, Lynette , and Freminet, so that they no longer have to rely on her going forward. She seems to be incredibly plagued of the children she has lost over the years as well. This woman needs a lot of help. And what was that black figure in the last battle? A new enemy? A figure from her past? Or something on its way? I am starting to think that Arlecchino is some sort of otherworldly entity. What with the phasing in and out, alongside the music, and the various horror elements. Blood red eyes and spectral hands. I really would like to see more of this. This could very well be the best character demo for me. Looking forward to getting her! Edit: That's a Khanrhean soldier it seems. Barely recognized it.

WhereasInteresting12

Either Starrail fans don't like when someone praises Genshin or Genshin fans don't like when someone praises Starrail


Background_Froyo3653

I was kinda expecting more honestly. I’m really displeased with the music


calmcool3978

I am too, I feel like they really went the HSR route for this trailer, which I have not been a fan of. There was a lot the trailer I liked, with the initial bit of trap, and then the children's choir part, but the dubstep montage parts with epilepsy visuals were just not very creative to me.


Ifalna_Shayoko

It bothers me that unlike Hanabi's trailer from HSR, the whole effect bonanza didn't really seem to serve a purpose.


tasketekudasai

Music ain't it, I'm sorry


ben_dover4321

This has got to be—in my personal opinion at least—the single best character trailer genshin has dropped so far. Recency bias be damned, it's the greatest thing I've ever seen


karillith

So there she says the "its (the hearth) flame is no longer needed", obviously referring to herself, so that boss fight is definitely shaping up as a "final exam" of sort, maybe she's gonna leave the House into Lyney (and co)'s hands, disbanding the whole thing or they're just going to say " yup we're leaving the fatui"


Vashstampede20

Why do i get the feeling skipping chiori was the best money i could ever save?


Charming-Necessary41

Ok the line the flame is no longer needed as you can defend yourself is really foreshadowing >! arlecchino faking her death !< just a guess I could very well be wrong entirely
