Okay I need to nerd out because HOLY SHIT THAT WATER IN THE CUTSCENE, it's gorgeous example of how things don't have to be hyper realistic to be great 3d water animation, it moves and feels like water and waves while still fitting into the world. I love how much effort is put into this animation, it's all pretty and never feels like it's out of place or janky (at least from these videos). I'm at the tipping point to just say screw it play this, it looks really fun and the story and characters are reeling me in harder than the other games, turn based is my favourite style of game play

Genuinely I'm so glad the Dan Heng transformation landed so well for you, it frustrated me to no end how HSR just spoiled it in marketing because he was the banner 5-star, so I was wondering how effective it was if someone hadn't seen it before.

[@chesspiece4257]

i didn’t see it before and can confirm it’s so cool

[@GreatFernicus]

I got spoiled that *something* would happen because the very first loading screen after I took control of Dan Heng was the Dan Heng - Imbibitor Lunae one, I only really got to parse “Dan Heng - (something something)” and “Dan Heng’s true form” but I was like “excuse me WHAT did that say”

[@SuperHalofan64]

3:10 From what I looked up, Caprcious means to be "given to sudden and unaccountable changes in behavior." Essentially, you are saying that March likes to randomly change her mind on stuff.

[@hambor12]

The "capri-" in capricious comes from the same latin as "caprine" i.e. goats or relating to goats so it means you're about as predictable as an excited goat (i.e. not predictable at all)
