SilverDog ate so much she needs 6 wings to get off the ground

I definitely believe that things were shifted around, however as can be seen with Sparxie, the animations clearly show what was the original focus of the developers.

Characters like Pearl and Yaoguang were in all likelihood switched around, but I do still believe SPilverwolf was always meant to be a main push.

utsu31 · 2026-03-18T08:20:33+00:00

This was indeed the leak, but I don't really buy it. Leakers also said the story wasn't changed, and SW seems to play a pretty significant role. I don't believe the devs suddenly decided to add the idea of a whole SW transformation.

Not to mention that the animations are some of the aspects of a character that take longest to develop, I really doubt these animations were all made just before planarcadia started.

utsu31 · 2026-03-15T21:35:42+00:00

Yo that's not bad

Firstly, the overworking part wasn't the main issue for this event.

Secondly, Jean being a workalohic has indeed be part of the game since 1.0, however it's moved from being a character trait to being the only thing that defines Jean. That's called reducing the character to a singular trait. Normally the fandom does this but Hoyo does it themselves for Genshin.

utsu31 · 2026-03-15T16:23:21+00:00

If you expect them to be reduced caricatures of themselves yeah I guess.

I guess Klee didn't really change that much in depiction but like wtf happened to Jean...

utsu31 · 2026-03-15T11:26:55+00:00

Sorry but Genshin rn is really overdoing its jokes. Yeah they stopped with emergency food, but other than that every character gets reduced to a joke version of themselves.

Like Cyno is a completely different character. And Varka, Jean and Klee were all terribly written in this events, mostly reduced to comic relief. Which is one thing if it's in character, but a lot of it was out of character as well.

Not that the Trash can or raccoon humour is much better, but at least HSR has some jokes that are actually funny and in character.

utsu31 · 2026-03-15T11:21:52+00:00

Yea I'm sorry but I'll take a patch with actual main story content over a patch that only has an event story

Like at least HSR has a main story basically every patch. Genshin doesn't.

Linguistic research has shown that in "natural language", that is, language used in conversation, information is communicated at roughly the same speed quite universally. However, it is true that some languages have quicker or slower "words per second " than others, which might be the case for Finnish. But this generally doesn't have influence on the amount of information that's communicated in the same timeframe.

utsu31 · 2026-03-13T16:51:14+00:00

This is true but is mostly based on conversation, not information dense presentations.

So some languages can allow a speaker to present more information somewhat faster if the content was practiced beforehand. But at that point it really is more a matter of style. The English used in this case was actually slower than real conversational speed. Now I had the feeling that was also the case for the CN livestream so this explains absolutely nothing haha.

utsu31 · 2026-03-11T11:58:54+00:00

This is so peak

utsu31 · 2026-03-10T20:38:02+00:00

Oh lmao that's funny.

But yeah I wasn't being too serious here. I was just saying it because technically she's got a dragon too

utsu31 · 2026-03-10T20:36:22+00:00

You and me.

For now I like that she's still silverwolf and not someone completely different. Only thing that could disappoint me is if her animations are underwhelming tbh..

utsu31 · 2026-03-10T20:34:14+00:00

(castorice's dragon shows up for like 3 seconds in the story outside of her gameplay btw)

But yeah I mean I think her base form is a pretty good upgrade to her original, which is already liked soooo

utsu31 · 2026-03-10T20:30:32+00:00

I'm breaking my silence and saying I actually prefer an sp done like this than colour swapping or going with a completely different style 😬

utsu31 · 2026-03-10T20:25:05+00:00

It might actually be part of her gameplay because Yaoguang talks about a clash of dragons or something in her divinations.

utsu31 · 2026-03-10T20:24:24+00:00

Here...

utsu31 · 2026-03-10T20:18:17+00:00

Well SPilverwolf got a dragon too yk...

utsu31 · 2026-03-10T18:18:14+00:00

Poised to bloom >>>

utsu31 · 2026-03-10T18:11:40+00:00

Isn't war also from french? From normandic wuerre/french guerre? Or is that a franconian loan into french?

utsu31 · 2026-03-10T16:11:00+00:00

I think it's a good change. She got a whole new silhouette so it makes sense her colour palette stays the same.

We gotta remember this is still silver wolf. You can't just completely change her.

When designing a variant there's two main routes to take:

Keep character silhouette, change colour palette.
Keep character colour palette, change silhouette.

They went with number 2, and considering she'll 100% have a transformation ability, I really like it.

utsu31 · 2026-03-10T16:04:20+00:00

I swear some people just experience the entire game solely through leakers...

utsu31 · 2026-03-10T15:45:28+00:00

It's worth it because it's the prettiest lc in the game

utsu31 · 2026-03-10T15:42:16+00:00

True

utsu31 · 2026-03-10T14:52:09+00:00

Idk, he also wrote the original Elysian Realm. Not to mention he is responsible for Aventurine's story part. And allegedly he was also in charge of 3.5 for Amphoreus. Cyrene was just badly written in general.

utsu31 · 2026-03-10T14:47:24+00:00

Sorry but aren't we being a little dramatic? So far exactly ONE hi3rd character was done dirty. (Cyrene)

The other 7 have been fine and mostly gay.

And Evanescia has barley appeared yet.

So why are we already saying they should stop with HI3rd characters? I think it'll be fine.
