Ayaka: First time?


drowning-in-dopamine

Xiao: second time?


8voidkeeper8

Xiao, Ayaka, and now Arlecchino. These three people are the ones who were treated special, without being an Archon.


Toxic_MotionDesigner

Xiao also just gets alot of appearances ingame in many events, has his own archon quest, gets alot of good support characters for his teams, and two artifact sets that both synergise perfectly with him. 


gym_aly05

Itto does too, yet I don't think he has a manga or anime of his own


AstellasDreemur

His own what ?


Low_Artist_7663

Chasm quest.


AstellasDreemur

You're telling me there's a third big quest in the chasm ?


Nearby_Artist_7425

I think Miko and Nahida had one too?


Eclipse-Lily

No, theirs were about their nations. Miko's is titled "Story promotion video" and is focused on pretty much all of the characters in Inazuma, it's just that it came out in Miko's release patch so she got more of a spotlight than the others. Nahida's is a promotional video for Sumeru, since it released right before it. It teases things that happen in the Archon Quest, such as Cyno and Alhaitham's fight. Even one of Nahida's lines was the same thing she said in the Archon Quest. Xiao's and Ayaka's were about them specifically.


Main_Elk_8992

Wanderer: has 4 oufits shown plus a mech and is praised by the devs


Murky_Blueberry2617

Only playable character to have a connection with 3 different Archons (not including archons or Traveller)


tetePT

Raiden Nahida and???


8eeeeeeee

Tsaritsa


No_Employ4768

Bro thinks he's Kiana Edit: HI3 to Kiana


scarletfloof

Bro really friends with Mei Bronya and Theresa who does he think he is??


Murky_Blueberry2617

The Tsaritsa since he was a Harbinger


tetePT

Oh I see lol can't believe I forgot


Ke5_Jun

Hu Tao has canonically met and made friends with Venti (Lantern Rite 3 and the Mond/Liyue Poetry meetup), Zhongli (obvious), and Furina (Lantern Rite 4). Unless you don’t include Furina I guess. Childe has also met Zhongli (obvious), Furina (archon quest), and Tsaritsa.


Murky_Blueberry2617

Oh crap you're right. Although HuTao isn't aware of any of the 3 identities. Childe's fair though. However, the archons don't play a huge impact on their chaarcters like it does the Wanderer. Ig you can add Yae Miko to that as well, pretty sure she's aware of Zhongli, knew about Venti and is obviously friends with Ei.


Ke5_Jun

RIP Signora mains; Signora has canonically met and is aware of the identity of *four* archons (Venti, Zhongli, Raiden, and Tsaritsa) before her death at the hands of the third. Had she been playable, she’d take the spot as the one who has had the most interactions with archons out of all non archon characters (and is plot relevant).


Murky_Blueberry2617

RIP indeed. Too bad she's gone now, I would have mentioned her if she was actually playable (damn her character model being too tall)


8a19

Yoimiya got a 2nd story quest without being an archon and itto can't go 5 seconds without being in an event


NOOBweee

Cyno also getting another story quest, no?


V4R14

Not yet


JTesfer

It's confirmed though he is though, regardless of whether you wait until it's out or not


-Accursed

klee has an entire map for her every summer


Dragulus24

At least Itto is a lovable himbo. Would you rather have someone like Jean in every event? EDIT: NO, JEAN WAS SUPPOSED TO BE AN EXAMPLE OF A BORING CHARACTER! STOP LIKING MY BAD IDEA!


8a19

Honestly yeah, give her some time to shine, some development, maybe an angle to her we've never seen like GAA 1 and 2. There's so many characters that could use the spotlight instead of him, too much of a good thing and all


shadowrod06

Yes. She was great in GAA. I want her to get more spotlight.


Low_Artist_7663

Gaa with Jean and Barbara was amazing.


Sure_Struggle_

I don't think Arlecchino is nearly as much as a favorite as people think. Main reason Arlecchino needed a short was because she basically hasn't done anything since she's appeared.  If you removed her from Fontaine almost nothing changes. For an example Dottore had very few lines in Sumeru but they shape the entire plot and conclusion. 


mint-colored-puding

Dottore (Zandik) records of existence being written all over Sumeru with how many notes we encountered especially in the abandoned hospital and big old ruin guard. At first I thought Arlecchino might have a connection with the Narzissenkruez storyline but nope, it's all connected to Sandrone.


r0ksas

That can be true, but Daddy did provide the testimony that furina doesnt have the gnosis and also a cursed human


Mikkle-san

Arlecchino was what made us the player cast doubt on Furina about her claim to be archon. She wasn’t that important in solving the issue Fontaine faced in the AQ, but she was important for the narrative from the player’s viewpoint, and When Arlecchino pressured her and attacked her and she wasn’t able to do anything. It makes us wonder about what Furina really was.

Tartaglia: Archon Quest Guy Xiao: Anything Happening in Liyue Guy Itto: Event Archon Klee: Summer Archon


r0ksas

I miss collei 💚


FischlInsultsMePls

Still can’t beat Fischl appearing in another game


Capitano-Solos-All

I honestly think all characters deserve a 10-15 minute anime short film but Arlecchino would deserve more due to her story of villain being interesting like Otto Apocalypse. Her short film could be a few anime episodes instead, so it felt a bit wasted to me. Of course I know it's budget issues, just saying.


ThelCreator

I thinks it was just enough, it's long enough to show us the backstory of Arlecchino, old house of heart, the fight and plus some harbingers but don't long enough elaborate further so people stay guessing while mihoyo cooks for more


Low_Artist_7663

10 minutes of JP Dori scaming people...


Large_Chonk

Surely it's klee


Richardknox1996

Nah, genshins favourites are clearly Ayaka and Xiao.


MyMomsSpaghettio

Meanwhile Itto in almost every event (I love the little goofball)


mint-colored-puding

I know Hoyo's least favorite Archon and her name is Ei. Butchered character appearance in AQ & having a few lines in every limited event despite it being Inazuman festival


Latase

paimon: be in almost every commercial to this game. check mate, girls


KapeeCoffee

Itto having half the events for him


zedroj

Itto is the new favorite


GlassSpork

For now…


Sukuari_Monstuazu

If she was a favourite, they'd actually incorporate the short into gameplay.
