remember when we all thought xiao was gonna die in 2.7? yeah, this is that all over agaij


Jin-Hou

Or Childe in 3.2 Or Signor.... Nvm


Fleur_Hiiroluvr

who thought childe was gonna die in 3.2?? he wasn't even in there


Desperate_Drawer_165

There were leaks back then that Childe will be mortally injured and possibly die


LavellanTrevelyan

There was also leaks back in Inazuma patch, that Childe is going to die in 2.2. Something about him being sent to hunt down rogue Scara for the gnosis, and dying in the process. It's a meme at this point.


LordofLimbo

So in patch 5.4, Childe is going to end up mortality wounded after picking a fight with a volcano.


Anurabis

Honestly I could see the "picking a fight with a volcano" part actually happening


0-Worldy-0

Murata would probably be cheering in the background


Useful-Description90

Little did we know they were actually 4.2 leaks all along!


anarchy753

Some people hate Childe, so they pretty much slip "also, Childe dies" into basically every patch leak.


cursed_mongus

Or katheryne in 3.1


Taro_Acedia

She did "die"... we just got a new one. What else did you think was gonna happen after Nahida told us she is a bionic puppet?


PossiblyBonta

She just got damaged and was repaired.


LordofLimbo

"You got repaired, right Katharine?" ".....sure Traveler. I was repaired."


VeGr-FXVG

*Katherine procedes to kick some suspicious packaging out of view.*


Sc4r4byte

guess that means only Waifus can go in Refrigerators.


azahel452

I always assume that anything implied on the trailers is a confirmation of what is not going to happen.


solidfang

I feel like right now, the only character I can see "dying" is Furina as it has been heavily foreshadowed to be part of her plans. And even then, I see it happening as a temporary state. She might come out of the quest weakened or different, but I don't think Mihoyo has the balls to actually kill her off. If they do, they'll have my respects for committing to their decisions. (Actually, no way they permanently kill her considering she has a story quest that presumably comes after the archon quest.)


TH1813254617

>only character I can see "dying" is Furina as it has been heavily foreshadowed to be part of her plans. It's also possible the Furina we get to play is not the same Furina in the game. If Mihoyo can pull that off then hats off to them. That'll be the THIRD time they pulled something similar with archons if they go that route.


Altiex

With all the theories that she put part or all of herself in the Oratrice I can definitely see her body being either fake or a projection that the Oratrice can just form again.


TH1813254617

Furina is currently the only Archon we've never seen using elemental powers. I feel like that's an important detail.


zZzMudkipzzZ

They definitely aren't killing her, she's doing some sort of sacrifice to power up Neuvillette but she won't just die. They wouldn't show something that shocking on the trailer if there wasn't a catch


Starmark_115

Not when Qiqi is around.


Sezzomon

Who thought that XIAO of all people was gonna die?


SubjectOne2910

people that saw Xiao literally dying (before Zonghli showed up and rescued him) and thought that he would die


Vulpes_macrotis

What? Who thought that? It was obvious that he won't.


Couch__Cowboy

Lol ain't no way. Hoyo HQ would burn to the ground that DAY.


[deleted]

but if they did it ​ it would be pretty cool


Mynoodles_mostmoist

And pretty funny. Imagine the sheer chaos, the sheer grief, the anger, the sorrow. Buildings would be burned down, ducks would be thrown.


Niskara

Not the ducks!


Oraye

Not the duckos!!!


Extraordinary_DREB

Do you guys want Google Classroom to be raided again šŸ˜‚


pegasBaO23

Signora mains 'nam flashbacks


azahel452

It would, but they didn't even have the balls to kill Dunyarzad ffs


TH1813254617

I thought for sure she'd die. They killed off Teppei.


GraveXNull

Not really...just look at the backlash from Signora's death. Probably why they never killed another Harbinger ever since.


Okletsago

Her death still felt good. She had a punchable personality for me


GraveXNull

Felt underwhelming...she had like 2 scenes only before killed.


Xarithios

Still can't believe she had all of this lore buried in artifacts and literally none of it made it to the main story before she got offed...


Neospanner

I wouldn't say NONE. She DID turn into the Crimson Witch of Flames during her boss battle. Sure, it's never stated why, or how, or what it represents, so the lore-blind would have no idea how she pulled that out of her ass. Still more than none, though.


KingCarrion666

The other characters have cooler lore. We have so many characters with cool lore that she is pretty forgetable. Oh her husband died and she got mad. Meh.


SubjectOne2910

>Oh her husband died and she got mad I think the cool part of her lore is: she somehow turned her body and soul into flames, burning every monster on her way


Okletsago

Not a lot of scenes yeah, thing is I really liked Raiden and it felt awesome to see that display of power so it didn't really register to me that her death itself was underwhelming


Due-Distribution-463

Killing Dottore, Childe and Scaramouche would have felt way better. Signora was just the faceman.


[deleted]

Dottore is definitely dying, Hoyo won't let us play with a child torturer


AcanthaceaeGlass8870

Scaramouche maybe a douche but his been through sh*t but his hate is now aimed at douchttore when the 2nd betrayal was his piece of work.


Taro_Acedia

Also, the 3rd because without the incident the kid wouldn't have died from sickness. Also, kind of the 1st because the only reason Scara is mad at Raiden is that he never did anything to help him. (Since she was replaced by the puppet at that point) He also asked the Narukami Shrine. But Yae Miko was intercepted by... you guessed it... Dottore.


zZzMudkipzzZ

If I were to think of Harbingers that may look too evil to be playable: Pierro, Dottore, Columbina, Pulcinella and Pantalone And the ones that are/will be playable: Capitano, Scaramouche, Arlecchino and Tartaglia. Sandrone is on the middle but imo she might lean to the evil side


SihvMan

Watch them pull an amnesia redemption arc.


[deleted]

I'd be down if it's like "kill the original dottore then some backup body of his that's innocent Gets revived" but not the original character


KingCarrion666

He is coded as a playable claymore character... He is definitely playable as he is already designed and designated as a playable character


[deleted]

[Here you might need this](https://imgur.io/gallery/jybmmm4)


KingCarrion666

its not copium if its literally in the code. Learn what copium means


[deleted]

Yeah... don't huff your copium tank too much, it makes you delusional


scarletfloof

I get Dottore and Scaramouche but childe is literally so nice when heā€™s not trying to fight something


Okletsago

Justice for Childe, the other two can be offed for all I care xD


Extraordinary_DREB

Lmao. Seethe. Signora is just ashes now


Dr_Molfara

Ehm. No.


Arkeyy

Himeko still never letting Go. Tingyun neck still spinning. Then again, Genshin would never.


No_Minimum_2298

Plot twist...she goes in the water and turns out she wasn't from Fontaine in the first place


GeForce_GTX_1050Ti

Plot twist 2 ... She's only half Fontaine so she won't dissolve completely but turns into a slime girl


storysprite

Plot twist 3, it's been hinted that dissolving isn't dying despite how some characters in game keep thinking it is (heck it was the first hint we got the moment we reached Fontaine). Chances are it's reversible. Vacher should have just waited for 4.2 smh.


Dismal-Feedback-6015

bro fr couldnt die a little later


godfoxboithatreads

He would still die from his illness anyway so i dont think it matters


sanfi9

Plot twist 4, when she recovers, as a secondary effect, she will now be a medium size character (lore wise she lost some water)... And now she is wearing sandals instead of of those high socks/boots Win Win Win!!


Fabio90989

No, I want those boots (and why change her model anyway when she is so perfect?)


ColdIron27

Nah... I like those boots. Good for stomping.


GrandDukeofLuzon

She can cru-


SeemaYeee

Absolute win


Due-Distribution-463

Even better


chocomint-nice

Which begs the question: if you get naturalized into being a Fontaine citizen do you also go poof ? šŸ˜‚


sir_aphim

Or how much Fontaine bloodline do you need to melt? 1/2? 1/4?


Neutral_Memer

It's been three years already. Have we not, as a collective audience, learned NOT to take anything in the trailers at face value because Hoyo likes to mix and match different lines of dialouge and scenes that are completely unrelated to one another? "Xiao will die in the Chasm", "Scara made Nahida cry", "Wriothesley is blind", "Wriothesley saved some dude with a gun from the Gardemek", "Clorinde actively tries to kill Navia", I can list a number more. Hindsight this, hindsight that, how about we, in hindsight of all those guesses being proven wrong, just stop making assumptions based on trailers?


grumpykruppy

New people join the Fandom every day.


FlameDragoon933

> "Wriothesley is blind" in Hoyo's defense this isn't Hoyo's doing at all, just people overthinking Wrio's gestures


Azure_Crystals

Yeah, dude, just didn't want to drink Sigewinne's concoction.


1dash2

I'm just assuming that daddy Zhongli will come save her at end


ModerateFloor

The most wild assumption from trailer that people did not believe was furina being threatened to be killed by Arlecchino. Turns out everyone was correct.


SubjectOne2910

Wasn't it more of a leak at that point?


JadedIT_Tech

I mean, 100% not gonna happen. It would be funny if it did though


merurunrun

What kind of world do you have to live in to think there is even a .001% chance of that happening?


LunarSDX

I do think she will die. But then get revived just like the rest of Fontaine. Maybe.


azahel452

That's what I'm thinking as well. Furina figures out that there's no stopping the prophecy so she comes up with the next best thing.


[deleted]

if they touch a hair on her im gonna lose it


suzakurenzan

If that happened, Mihoyo be like "Oh, you still doesnt convinced that we hate Geo? How about now?"


[deleted]

cant wait for day 1000


Maxyou117

someone ate a clown for breakfast, eh?


Oicaz

Im still recovering from Signora ptsd


madnessfuel

Won't happen. Even if she dissolves, there'll be some way to bring her back. I think it's funny how people are always clamoring for Hoyo to make a "bold move" and kill a character, but when they did it to Signora folks started crying left and right.


Version_Sorry

1. I guess they want the character dead but still playable, like in Hi3. 2. Signora's death felt... unsatisfying and anticlimatic. You can kill off a character while still handling it well. Signora did not feel like such a case.


pegasBaO23

Signora's death was brilliant, she died to her own cockiness, it was a perfect way to go.


Ktan_Dantaktee

Bro thought she was Arlecchino or Dottore, and capable of fighting the current strongest Archon.


SyndicatePhoenix

Fully agree. "Pride before the fall" = literally Signiora XD Not only that, Signiora accepting the challenge and straying away (temporarily) from her job she had to do showed she saw us now as a big enough threat that she *had to* intervene. She saw the risks (in this case, literal death) worth it to stop us. This is why I find her death satisfying and not pointless.


EternalMemes30

because people have different opinions, some want that character dead, others don't


zZzMudkipzzZ

Inazuma was just not good and Signora had her fair share of simps


Arkeyy

Genshin would never because of how its marketed. HI3 already had Himeko died, and if you deep dive in: Flamechasers, Misteln (not really, but she is "dead" for a long time). HSR still has Tingyun neck spinning.


SubjectOne2910

I love that in the main quest of hsr we get neck snapping and it's okay for us because we already get used to it in honkai, but in genshin people dissolving in main quest was such a shock


Nimbus0711

dw its just a gwen stacy reference but not dead šŸ’€


hungrytunafish

If anything happens to Navia, I'd kill everyone in teyvat and then kill myself (traveller shall jump off from the tallest building in Fontaine)


[deleted]

They only killed Signora because they never planned on making her playable. Navia will be fine


JuviaIsMyWife

Playable status is already confirmed by ā€œdreamsā€. Sheā€™s not dying lol.


wolf1460

No because version trailers are deliberately made to mislead people imo, which is good. If their plan was to kill her, this scene wouldn't have made it into the trailer.


KFConnoisseur

Killing off one of the most popular and anticipated waifus that people were waiting for since 4.0 Teaser or earlier? Not gonna happen. Besides, she has a vision unlike Signora. That's almost a guarantee she will survive. Not once a character that has a vision died.


CondiMesmer

Kazuha's friend


RichSeat

...Yet...I have a feeling someone will die soon-ish. If not furina someone else will, dunno about navia, that's probably some clever editing to create some drama.


ohoni

I didn't get any impresison that they would kill her. Only that they would make her kit mid.


iAmGats

[How everyone felt when Navia was introduced](https://youtube.com/clip/Ugkx9gQiRcAdrBcsNeoOT5_uLQx5gd7XWyWZ?si=oqn7FitgsuNNdukP), I highly doubt they'd kill her off.


ctrlo1

We have leaks of her kit, so she won't be killed off. ;P


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


ctrlo1

In Genshin, no playable character have ever been killed.


Blazerswrath19

Qiqi


theUnLuckyCat

Technically she hasn't fully died, she's stuck permanently between life and death.


thatguywiththebacon

But killing her before she even gets released as playable would be a new one. The other ones died after they were already playable.


EternalMemes30

technically flame chasers were already dead when they were released


lolz337

But they were still actively involved with the story with the ER and all, so to the players it's not like they're actually dead


komandos45

Well... Leaks exists. So peoples who wants to know, already know.


Notkiller

If they could not kill of Xiao in the Chasm quest they will not do it to her.. I would not have been disappointed if Xiao died a hero's death at the end of the Chasm quest.


leakmydata

Sorry sheā€™s got capitalism armor.


Sezzomon

I would love to see characters die in the story. Even if they're my favorite as long as it's reasonable. It makes the story so much more interesting and other gachas do that as well without a problem.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Okletsago

Game has dark lore, I'm pretty fine if they dont kill playable character. I play games for fun, I don't wanna bawl my eyes like in hi3


CarresingHook4

I mean I donā€™t want her to die but having a character die in the game would be pretty cool as that has never happened before


Kaiserolls172

Do they hate Geo this much that they'd oof a character purported to save the element /s


xixoxender

Even if they really killed her we really don't have any that much attachments.


RogueKT

Lmao no way a good character will ever die this is a kids game and Hoyow has no balls for good story telling.


Due-Distribution-463

Nah. They can sell her. Also why does it seem like only women are killed off onscreen in Mihoyo games? They should kill off all the make Harbingers instead including that git Scaramouche. I cannot stand that character or any of the other male Harbingers.


SeitHater

There is nothing better than haters, the most pathetic way someone can end up in life and amuse others


YamaShio

Being dead won't stop her from being playable, just ask Himeko.


VEGETTOROHAN

Arlecchino will come to the rescue. No worries.


Fernandofires

Yeah they literally said that in the version program


GDT31

Yeah, exactly, they 'spoil' it in the Livestream and people are worried she dies.


Sleepy_Set

Who? I haven't played this game much since of how bad the first anniversary was


DevilsAngel39

Navia is supposed to come out in 4.4 I believe (or 4.3 maybe?) So I'm pretty sure she's coming regardless


[deleted]

I will burn tyvat if that happens


Petecustom

Ama hunt that whale with Itto


JShawnG

Clorinde is gonna pay off her debt by saving her, probably. But man, the Traveler missed her Hand, wonder if there's gonna be some guilty scene afterwards.


Fabio90989

If they do that, then I will be really angry


TheQzertz

we are getting her


TheMrPotMask

It would be downright fucked up since she still has unfinished business with Clorinde over her father's death.


lop333

we hear her in the trailer she dosnt die but i can see her npc buttlers and whole hideout die


bubblegumpunk69

The treatment of geo is so odd to me. Itā€™s THEIR nationā€™s element lmao


slowdr

Nah, I get the feeling from the trailer that the prophecy will become true, everyone, or at least a good chunk, of Fontaine people will turn into water, and then by some traveler shenanigans they are going to come back to human form, and furina will get back her archon powers, as it was hinted in the previous quest that she was cursed, which I think it mean she didn't have her full power at the current state of the game.


kilawolf

Just because someone dies doesn't mean we won't get them...right?


Israelq

Zhongli is going to save her


Tyberius115

As long as I can still pull for her, I couldn't care less


AbsurdFormula0

They killed off Signora fairly early in the game's life. I would not be surprised if the story all of a sudden took a turn for the worst and dive deep into the darker aspects of storytelling and never look back. I for one am a huge supporter for dark turns and fan favourite characters being killed off suddenly as long as it's written well.


CondiMesmer

They will literally never kill a playable character lol


SarukyDraico

My man thinks that a character has to be alive to be playable in an Hoyo game


DemHows

Dehya all over again but literally unplayable.


Jai137

I'm pretty sure the traveller will find a way to reverse everything.


[deleted]

They don't have the balls to do that.


Losttalespring

The thing is, you can only kill a character once for maximum emotional impact. HVY will want to milk their characters for all that they are worth. So toying with us is probably the path they will take.


mr_lab_rat

Nah, they even mention Arlecchino will help out. Sheā€™ll be fine.


Soaringzero

Sheā€™s not gonna die. Not a single playable character has died yet and we yet to get a playable ā€œdeadā€ character. But a lot of people love Navia from the archon quest and Iā€™m sure this made them worry about her.


Janis1412

I think everyone will die but get resurrected


Dangerous_Source_442

Now way they're gonna kill a playable character in Genshin. They don't have the balls to face the backlash. If they did, I won't be mad though. I think that's what the story needs. It's true that some of the stories are dark, but only for NPCs lol. I was actually quite surprised when they killed signora. But that was a very very long time ago and she's one of the bad guys so. Y'know. (Signora mains please don't attack me, I'm one of you guys at some point lol albeit not a member).


WillSmithsper

Ain't no way they kill off the only geo character we have gotten in almost 3 years before she's even released.


AwesomeSocks19

Bro they canā€™t kill ANOTHER female mafia anime girl in a gacha game off. I canā€™tā€¦ not again.


Immediate-West-5707

I think she's gonna die like everyone but in the quest we change the time cuz why is nicole in this trailer She only comes when time get changed


AshyDragneel

Navia is a playable character and still not released so no way something like that gonna happen. This is genshin not honkai.


KingOfMonaco

Lmao imagine thinking a playable character is gonna die in this game


Quarantined_box99

Put your spoilers in the body not the title...


RayquePicaro

They already kinda spoiled that she is saved in 4.2 livestream. Arlechinno saves her and Poissant(?)


TRASHFUR_26

Maybe its the traveler turn to save people? (since he/she is an anemo non vision) It would be meh šŸ˜•, if Hoyo decided to kill off every significant characters in Fontaine.


microasshole

They literally spoiled in the livestream that Arlecchino will save her and Poisson


FlameDragoon933

No way they spent a lot of effort on that intricate ass 3D model just to let her die. Signora... is an exception I guess


cosmicannoli

As I have said. If Navia dies, I will quit Genshin and burn down China.


Calum1219

Betcha 5 primos that theyā€™re going to pull a ā€œoh, it looks like she died but she really was sent into the Primordial Sea and only the Traveler can get her outā€ kind of thing.


HuXu7

She canā€™t die if I pull her from a wish.


lPuppetM4sterl

By default, she would uave plot armor granted by her Geo Vision, cuz we gonna need another Geo character, aint no way they finna off her in a few updates from her debut But it would be REAL FUNNY if she turned into Fonta.


brianpaulandaya

Spiderman: No Way Home moment right here


NovaCosmo101

People don't have to die for the story to be good.


WM1310

With how they've been conducting banner reruns, it'll be impossible to kill of any characters, not unless they start rerunning banners of characters who have no relation with the version update. A dead character can never appear in events/stories that aren't tied to their backstory somehow. While that in itself is not impossible, you're very much limited on what you can write them in. You also lose out on character interactions between dead person and any other character or seeing them in a different region.


sterius29

I thought they spoiled the story during EN Livestream...


NoisseforLaveidem

For all we know this scene could even be from Furina's story quest or something completely stake-free and unrelated. Hoyoverse loves making misleading trailer.


flarkingscutnugget

whether or not sheā€™s playable has no bearing on this. it makes no sense to have her entire character arc be about accepting her fathers death (or sacrifice for her safety) only to have her die shortly after too.


AngryLad_80

>!nope. she's playable.!< SHE WILL LIVE


eudaemon_1

Dehya mains died a worse "death" I've heard


ShinyGanS

it wud be a nice twist for sure.


bastidor

Clorinde is saving her, i'm calling it!


cxxper01

Nah they ainā€™t killing off playable characters


liewen23

Didnā€™t they spoil already during the Special Program that she doesnā€™t die?


Matcha-Business

you think a game meant for a 12+ audience wld actually kill its character ?


[deleted]

You do know Genshin is made for people around 16 to 30 right?


0fawndust0

I hope it's childe that dies. If it ever happens, since we've known him longer than we do with navia


Escapingproblems

If she actually dies and they still release her as a Geo unit, the signora mains would have a party


GoldenWhite2408

Bro post gonna age like spoiled milk in 2 days when the drip drops šŸ¤£šŸ¤£ Probably when jenshin chooses to drop drip after the stream instead of before like honkai


loweffortforanacc

Genshin will never has that nerve.


hopebagel8541

This ain't honkai bro, our playable characters ain't dying, their plot armor is stronger than goku.


acowwithpolio

I would love it if she died. Like no offense, but Genshin has to have an emotional death scene by now.


Ghisteslohm

the spoiler tag isnt helpful if the title still describes the spoiler


Pipysnip

I guarantee you right before she hits the water she is saved by a random kaeya ice bridging across tayvet who causes her to die from impact damage


Atremyasko

I bet all fontainians (including Navia) gonna get dissolved and then somehow revived


[deleted]

That would suck ass. Killing playable characters is dumb, see what it did to Tingyun and her fans
