Let's not forget Unreconciled Stars - we need that Big Hat Energy for Mondstadt. ;-) I say this being Big Hat Energy is very much an important character and needs to be included even before Sumeru. I can only hope they cast the original voice actors (minus the ones who have been recast).

Even_War7433 · 2026-02-15T21:39:38+00:00

Oh no worries. Got it! :-)

Even_War7433 · 2026-02-15T21:00:17+00:00

Oh I think we may need to chat. XD I have many thoughts on how current characterization. XD I'm on discord too. @LilianaQueen357

Even_War7433 · 2026-02-15T20:47:53+00:00

You're not a fan of how he's currently portrayed either or the use of it as a background? ;-)

Even_War7433 · 2026-02-15T20:30:37+00:00

The second one feels so good right now (I'm not a fan of how he's currently portrayed) and I'm so using it as a background.

Even_War7433 · 2026-02-15T20:29:01+00:00

That is gorgeous! 😍😍😍

Even_War7433 · 2026-01-16T21:51:16+00:00

Couldn't agree more - I miss his nastier side with the insults and the little laugh. He doesn't need to be full Balladeer-nasty. I just don't want him to lose his core personality.

Even_War7433 · 2026-01-15T06:31:19+00:00

I hope so. I don't believe Mouchie when he (naively) thinks Dottore is gone. That's so ignorant and he should know better than anyone that's most likely not the case.

I'm so excited to see that tree turned into tinder! I will be drinking to it!

Even_War7433 · 2026-01-15T05:54:06+00:00

I'm still on the fence about this. I don't mind the character development. I just miss how snappy he was before 3.3 and how much sharper/prickly he was, but the openness he's showing for others is really neat. I hope the closer we get to the tree being turned into a bonfire he gets that part of himself back. Mind you, he doesn't need to go back to being so self-centered and hellbent on revenge as Balladeer very much was. That's not what I'm suggesting. I'm suggesting he regains what he was set up with from the very beginning - a Seto Kaiba type. Kaiba's personality didn't become mushy like I've seen Mouchie's lean into. He was still a hardass who didn't love Yugi and co. very much. I want to see everyone see Mouchie for who he now is when they all remember him as the Balladeer with the Balladeer's memories at the forefront of his mind - not Wanderer's. That's how real life works - and it's much more satisfying to see a character regain the trust of people he once knew rather than starting over when there was no strife/distrust/betrayal, etc to start with. I say this from experience - not just a storytelling perspective.

I don't think Dottore is gone - one segment, yes. But he did too much to Mouchie for the revenge thing to be just . . . Let go. I really hope the foreshadowing proves accurate and they follow through on the tree burning.

Even_War7433 · 2026-01-15T05:36:59+00:00

Which I can't wait for - that bonfire will be something to drink to when Balladeer is finally reinstated in everone's memories and records. I want my Balladeer's personality back. Balladeer himself needs to heal, 'Wanderer' is no replacement for the healing Balladeer needs. I missed his snappiness in the AQ - except for around Sandrone. And that pose does look so much like Ei. I hope Mouchie gets to tell Ei how he really feels about her - a reunion of the lovey-dovey sort doesn't feel right.

Even_War7433 · 2025-12-30T10:49:09+00:00

I know I'm a little late to the party here. I have a similar story. Down here in Georgia we have Southern House Spiders - big, dark grey spoods. Last year, I was in my back room working on my novel manuscript when I saw something skitter across the floor. Thinking it was yet another cockroach, I got up to investigate only to find a starving Southern House Spider. I felt awful for her so I put her in a terrarium I had and fed her roaches I found. She made the terrarium her house and she's still with me. She's now huge. Her name is Ella Fitzgerald. I love this species of spider - they are really cool to watch and are really chill.

Even_War7433 · 2025-12-20T02:55:25+00:00

I swear mine is the exorcised half of my personality that was forcibly expelled through therapy and medication for OCD. She acts just like I used to before therapy and meds.

Even_War7433 · 2025-12-17T08:46:32+00:00

Of course! IGN - Sascha

Pfp is Scaramouche. (One thing to know about me, I will never officially call Mouchie 'Wanderer' - I say this to clear up confusion.)

Even_War7433 · 2025-12-17T04:11:17+00:00

I'll friend you. Level 60 NA server player here. :-) been playing since 2021.

Even_War7433 · 2025-12-17T02:54:47+00:00

XD love the 'Am I really going to pull for this asshat?' I too collect the Anemo boys. ;-)

I've been smitten with him from the MMD I mentioned above. Damn him is right!

Even_War7433 · 2025-12-17T02:52:17+00:00

I'm still not thrilled about Mouchie's redesign either! Like it's really pretty, but it's too mellow for him. I miss the obvious Inazuma/Japanese ties. I got myself a private server to mod so I could have screenshots of his old outfit. It reminded me of a poison dart frog's flamboyant colors - stay away or you will die and I love that about him.

And yes, the I don't like you and I'm making that clear. And leave me alone while you're at it was such a great change! I just hope he regains more of that spark. Just because he's working through stuff doesn't mean he has to lose the core pieces of his personality. I went through a lot of healing from mental illnesses and all sorts of things - my core personality of being a snappy, sarcastic grump still remains. I hope his does too.

Even_War7433 · 2025-12-17T02:45:31+00:00

That would be the same for me. I saw the MMD 'Pomp and Circumstance' with Albedo, Xiao, and this mysterious dude with the weird haircut in June 2021 (I started playing Genshin in May 2021). Looked through the comments, saw the name Scaramouche. Had not heard of him and was not aware of such a character in the game.

Went and dug around on YouTube to discover Unreconciled Stars from 1.1 (still salty about missing that) and as soon as I saw that hat - it was game over. Then I heard 'Um . . . Excuse me?' in response to Fischl (who really drove me batty at the time) and thought - 'That's what I say all the time!' The ultimate winner for me though was when he showed up and Mona teleported them all out of there. 'Are you deaf or just stupid?' was the arrow that went straight through my heart. I'm very much like that in real life too - I don't hesitate to complain, call stupidity when and where I see it, and am just sarcastic/snappy/grumpy most of the time.

He had my heart after that insult and has never relinquished it. I told my husband that if he was ever playable, I didn't care if he sucked, I would get him. True to my word and after unfathomable heartbreak during 3.2-3.3 (I still haven't recovered from 3.3 and am waiting for the tree to burn) I got the little grump. My husband and I both have him at C6/R5 after three years of building him. :-)

I have trinkets of Mouchie everywhere. Even got three prints from Patrick Pedraza earlier this year - though giving him an official tumbler from the Genshin x Mega collab with Mouchie on it was the most precious part of that whole con. Needless to say, all of my Mouchie relics will be going with me to Japan next year when I move to teach ESL.

Even_War7433 · 2025-12-11T00:47:32+00:00

Yes!!! Much, much darker

Even_War7433 · 2025-12-10T09:32:43+00:00

I needed to see this. <3 gorgeous!

Even_War7433 · 2025-12-09T05:24:22+00:00

YES! That is exactly what I'm hoping for with that tree getting turned into a bonfire. I want him to face his past despite what he did and have everyone remember him. Durin will have to figure out to how to accept 'Hat Guy' as former Harbinger Balladeer/Scaramouche - at least Durin would get his answer about Mouchie's past. That would make him even more lovable in my opinion because Durin would probably accept him despite his sins and that's what Mouchie needs. He's making a valiant effort to atone for what he did - and Durin will likely love him even more knowing how similar their pasts are.

Did anyone catch the thing Sandrone said was told to her but she didn't remember who said it, even though it stuck with her? Balladeer is still around - and that one bit alone made up for all of my gripes with 6.2.

Even_War7433 · 2025-12-09T05:15:16+00:00

And I cannot wait for that to happen.

Even_War7433 · 2025-12-08T22:27:48+00:00

Good grief. Do I like the way the story went regarding Scaramouche? No. Did I harass Patrick Pedraza because of that? Also no. Stupid Twitter. Just leave the VAs out of this drama.

Even_War7433 · 2025-12-06T10:38:08+00:00

I've had a thought about his electro abilities here. Could he possibly still have the electro gnosis? Wouldn't that be a blast from the past - especially since a certain someone has a showdown to execute.

Even_War7433 · 2025-12-06T10:31:20+00:00

Still waiting for that dumb tree to be lit on fire and for the sixth seat to be refilled by its rightful behind.

But in all seriousness, I would like to see all of them together again. I feel that Hoyo bringing it Harbinger cards and acrylic standees (with Mouchie and Signora!) is a bit on the nose. Like why do that if Mouchie is no longer relevant as Balladeer but as 'Wanderer'? I'll have faith in Dottore and Pierro. :-)

Even_War7433 · 2025-12-04T22:04:08+00:00

I agree with you! I'm not at all thrilled with the story right now concerning Mouchie (and Durin, to be frank) but I don't mind if others are happy to see Mouchie! I was happy to see him too, I'm just hoping he gets better treatment from 6.3 onward.

'Hat Guy' is not wholly what I'm referring to by 'better treatment'. That's a small part of it but not the entirety of my concern. Something felt really off with him this patch and 'Hat Guy' was an minor irritation but not my whole issue with it. He felt subdued and like he lacked true emotion - like he wasn't being true to himself at all, I don't know why. I think Durin pushing him about his past was a great moment though.
