It's so true. Every mention of these probably-non-playable characters portents a letdown, and decidedly makes the game worse.
>Remember when we saw a white-haired Dendro goddess in a cutscene and instead we were stuck with a shitty little child who can barely traverse puddles while you're playing?
>Remember the big fucking NOTHING that was Capitano, who then basically stole the victory (even in death) of Mavuika?
>Remember that Paralogism did absolutely NOTHING to move the story forward?
>Remember how Song of the Welkin moon tells us of 3 (dead) goddesses of creation? Well now there are 4 goddesses of destruction who delete worlds at their whim...this pisses me off even more than the rest of it combined because it just tells the player that it's not OUR game that's being played; we're just pawns of these god-forces and nothing the player does fucking matters.
Nigger I've played and kept current two whole accounts, one in ENG and one in JP and this trailer is random as shit and fucking sucks.

Aside: if Paimon is now the 'child' version of Asmoday, chances are, like Nahida, she faced a foe so powerful she was killed or sacrificed a part of herself to survive.

Um bros...are we finished.....

Why did Genshin flop?
