I can't wait to see what they do for Furina's.

Aloy is debatably S tier just for getting an animation in the first place

Seeing how each Archon's animation reflects their personality, it makes sense for Zhongli's animation to be simple and stoic, just like the CEO of GEO

Al Haitham looking like he forces himself to be there is the most on brand Al Haitham can be

I actually find Zhongli's animation very fitting his personality. He's not a flashy archon, why should he have a flashy animation. Someone should make a tierlist of how much the animation fits the character rather than how much of a show they put up. Because in two to three days, most of us forget about these animations altogether. You don't even get to see them if you use the quick setup.

If Furina's animation isn't her sitting on a Water Throne giving the most snobbish Ojou-sama laugh possible I would be extremely disappointed.

Justice for Beidou, she's WAY TOO COOL AND CONFIDENT only to receive a simple sidestep twirl 😭

I think simpler animations fit some of these characters better. Just like other people have also added, Alhaitham is a good example of this. Are his ingame animations flashy? Yes. But is he a flashy person? Not so much. In fact I think it was very in character for him to put aside his book and stand there looking ready to ask you "So when are we going?"(considering one of his party joining lines is "How long will this require, exactly?" I find it somewhat funny). I could make the same case for Diluc and Zhongli(though I understand why people wanted flashier stuff in Zhongli's case) I will say though, if I were to change one, I'd make Itto's have Ushi in it, simply because Ushi is too adorable to leave out. Otherwise, I think most of them fit well enough.

“Almost like Archons get special treatment” The whole Archon squad so far have their element representation in their poses after the animation, so there’s that- 😂

a “what if albedo released today” would be cool. i feel like he’d be dendro if he was

Surprised the most by Diona, Disapponted the most by Alhaitham, Favourite one is Kokomi. Also I would definitely love to see "what if Venti were released today?"

My favorite part of Xiangling's animation is Guoba ready to throw hands Kung Fu Panda style

Xiao's is, by far, my favorite animation. It's very fitting for his character, and the pose is also similar to the drip artwork. He doesn't need a flashy entrance, he's never _had_ a flashy entrance; he just shows up, and he's all business (except for when it's not business and it's just us asking him to taste-test Xiangling's cooking). We also don't get enough love for his left side, we tend to see his right side a lot, but not so much his left. It's also why I don't have a least favorite animation, everyone's animations are spot on for their characters, and some of them reference their respective drip artworks.

the spirit clone's pose in Shenhe's entry: -that is exactly how Shenhe would look in unrestricted, killer instinct mode 💀

It was only mentioned that Ayaka used a modified version of her skill but theres a few characters who used modified versions of pre existing animations like Tighnari reusing his idle for example

Have Xinqiu drop a huge ton of books off screen and as he attempts to pick them up he notices you and tries to save face by striking a pose.

As you noticed with Bennett, most of the animations are currently idles or skills. Why? Because Hoyo did only introduce a few fresh animations and hopefully will update at least all 5* stars in the future as well to have their own animations.

I really wished zhonglis rock thing flew around him after his animation ended it would be so cool

"This is on brand for Alhaitham, but I'm not giving him points for that" Literally described his whole character

So I’m biased bc my favorite character has a super cool animation, but I kinda like that there are some shorter, simpler ones too. I feel like if every character had a Hu Tao or a Childe, it would just be a bit much

instead of Zhongli just standing there menacingly, I'd love for his animation to be him using his hold skill but instead of a pillar spawning, a throne rises behind him and he sits there with his Statue of the Seven pose

Venti’s animation has to be my favorite! You’re right, it just captures his essence so perfectly. Also, I’d love to watch a video on “if the anemo archon was released today” + this video also made me notice Klee’s name bounce up and down when she shows off dodoco and that’s undebatably THE cutest thing i’ve ever seen

It would be a lot more fun if Bennett "bursted in". Oz could be flying into frame and then turn into Fischl, while he stays behind her. Xiangling's is perfect, 100/10. Although is unlikely, I hope they add more animations in the future

Tbf I think Alhaitham pose suits him, yea it's boring because he is bored, he is totally not interested in picking him up for any task the guy wants to be kept in the shadows unbothered and reading some books.

1. I was expecting more from Dehya give her something TT^TT. 2. Xianling jumping in with a side flip was cool af. 3. I love Nahida she just jumps in ready for action.

5:52 It's a Jitte, which translates as "ten hands" and was a standard issue police baton used mainly during the Edo-period

The Yae Miko rant was so perfect

Wanderers is my favorite (paired with his "this had better be important" voice line), with Zhongli, Raiden and Beidou tied for last (it's all the same animation just with different attitudes). I got the impression Lynney, Lynette, Wanderer, Xangling, Nahida, Kokomi, Hu Tao, and Yao Yao had the most amount of effort in designing them. I wouldn't be surprised if they were some of the first ones they worked on and then ran out of steam as they went. There is an adage "done is better than perfect" that was drilled into my brain in art school and I sorta get that impression with the new animations.

Top tier editing as usual! Also I would love to see a venti remake video!

Can we just appreciate that the party screen background matches each character's region? It's these small things that really make your amazing editing shine, Ratheil. As for your question, Most surprising: Xiangling Most disappointing: Zhongli Favorite overall: Wanderer

Travelers was def underwhelming wish their was more to them I do rlly love Xianglings and Sayu doing flips BC its satisfying and smooth to me I can't say I hate any but if I had a least favorite it would have to be yunjins BC its just one of her attack animations Love the vid tho, u do have very valid points have a good day/night!~

I noticed Beidou’s pose is from the cutscene where we ride on her ship.

i really wish that for some of them, they kept their cool pose within the animation instead of switching into a more generic one. i would’ve loved to see gorou keep that pose having thrown out the doggy general, and have yao yao keep the adorable pose with yuegui and have her wobble a little trying to stay balanced. i think some characters benefit from having something more simple, but a lot of them feel like they just lacked the time to come up with new, fun animations (which is likely the case).

Always coming with the 10/10 video ideas

Nobody wants to admit it but Gouba and Xiangling takes the crown

I don't understand why people are getting mad over these. Like they're party entry animation for crying out loud like an action equivalent would walking into a crowd or entering a room, you're not gonna get a whole animated cutscene for it and all of them are perfectly tailored to the characters

I think Zhongli's animation is a perfect fit for his personality, how elegant slow turn and being the oldest, it makes him look very wise too.

Kirara’s animation could’ve been her running up and entering the screen in her cat box form then popping out and doing her pose

i'd love to see "what if venti was released today" It's such a bummer and as the anemo archon he couldve had a wayyy cooler kit! I'm thinking onmatched world exploration like floating and superjumping, a kit that actually revolves around music (like HoS from honkai but with instruments?) and swirlllll!!! (and cons that arent horrible)

I was waiting for this video ❤

Great video! And as a Venti main (who even before Wanderer was released HAS been thinking "what if Venti could actually fly....) I'd love to see the 'if Venti was released today'!

Actually venti being released today is a very interesting video idea, i’d be cool to see that happen!

Hey Ratheil, can you make a video on what if you can select up to 5 party members? I know it's technically already available in the game but only for story quests and not a permanent thing. What kind of team will you make? How will it affect the playstyle of already available teams? If you're considering to make it, thanks!

The DKR music was so unbelievably fitting like whoa

Woo go Chongyun lol! And to answer your inquiry yes a very similar animation is present as one of Chongyun's idles 💙 As someone who mains him gotta say, really enjoy this animation a lot and how they have him hold the pose rather than relax as he does in his idle.

I would say that Zhongli is disappointing even though I know it fits his personality. Even his trailer shows his cool side. Xiangling is the most surprising because of her back flip so she's in the top 3 for me. My favourite is definitely the cute and graceful Nahida, followed by Raiden Shogun.

I love all the animations I think they’re so cute and well character aligned

nice detail on how you showcased the character animations in their regions to use their background

SO GLAD YOU'RE APPRECIATING VENTI!! LYNETTE'S IS ALSO SO, SO COOL

I'm Surprised they didn't do this prior to 4.0

6th time asking for version trailer tierlist

5th time asking for a version trailer tierlist PLEASSSSSSE

The one that really disappointed me was Zhongli. You see if it was any other character i wouldn't have minded but Zhongli is a character that is known for having the best animations and cutscenes in the game. They could have done so much with him like perhaps he comes in with his charged attack or something like that. The one that surprised me the most was XL. I didn't expect Guoba to be there but I like the creativity. My favourite animation has to be Nahida. The way she comes in a swing and does a twirl while her eyes were gleaming was so good.

It would be cool to see what characters could be like if released today. I heard people saying that Aloy could include her spear if she released today since Mika has the crossbow

Can i just say, as simple as Albedo's was, the way he looked at you at the end spoke to me. Just wanted to point that oki byeeee! 👀✨

I was pretty dissapointed with Ninguangs, Lisas suprised me (in how much I liked it) And my overall favourite..... probably Keqings, (but Raidens and Yelans are pretty sick too)

I mean for yelan they would need to create extra endings with diff dice and the animation would be needed stitched together in real time when getting random number or just creating 6 animations with diff number in the end

Candace's stance is so cool, literally when she's still she's the one that looks the toughest

The Miko rant went from funny to worn to my cheeks hurt with how quietly you kept ramping it up.

Alhaitham. I actually wanted him to pop his pocket book *as idle animation* we have it now, folks. as a lame party entry animation 💀

you can use yelans ideal die flip animation (since its random) for gambling if had a way to trade in the game lol.

Video idea: characters skills and how useful they would be in day to day life

This is funny Half the “bad ones” just fit the character Not like I can see it in my game It doesn’t show in mobile Sadge 😢 I’m wondering how one would rate how the characters in honkai impact 3rd drop in at the start of the levels That would be fun

The most disappointing is Chongyun's cause it is just his idle,most surprising is Yoimiya's cause she finally got good treatment and overall favorite is Raiden's

My only feelings about how you placed Yae Miko was "okay I GET IT place her and move on holy crap wait she does what with her hands???" I saw someone say they wish Traveler had different entrances for each element, and I agree! Like for Anemo she, sorry, They do the knights of favonius salute like in the Klee event.

Idk why you don't like Diona but I love to see you recodnizing that it looks nice! Tho shes my favorite character, i didn't really know what to expect. But I was so happy when I saw her just shaking her cocktail and getting mad for being interrupted, suits her so well 😂

Ahh my favorite KZfaqr uploaded

i never knew about shenhes sprit thing? im guessing thats not till later hangouts?

A lot of them use or reference their idles for i think Bennett, Chongyun, kaeya and Diluc all have something similar in one of their idles If i remember correctly. It's cute though.

All the budget than should went into xingqiu and alhaitham went to our 6 star xiangling (and guoba)

when is a video with farming routes for pearls & gears coming?

Heizous "dagger" is a baton, because he's a police official

xiangling the pyro, polearm and party screen animation archon all at the same time

My fav was obviously wanderer it just "fighter jet reporting in"😂 The bast for me is yaoyao i can't stop thinking about it it's just soo cute to see little radish bunny on her shoulder its sooo cuuuute And the most disappointing was eula i felt like they could've done so much with her but eh

Klee be like -> Can I offer you a bomb in these trying times

How bad did the Yae Miko mains hurt you dude

Yae Miko says: TOUCH FLUFFY TAIL

Heizou's "dagger" is a kind of police baton iirc

I actually like beidou's a lot. It looks really intimidating because she's minimalistic. She's not gonna do things for you, no no, you're gonna do things for HER

Bruh you interrupted my tcg to put me in your party so of course i aint gonna try look to cool for you😒

I respect all tier lists with tartags in S

I would definitely love to see "what if venti was released today" video, i feel like venti got absolutely shafted simply cuz he was released first

Hu Tao and Yoimiya have my favorite animations! Both animations suit the characters really well while being visually fun and engaging! Yoimiya’s animation being cheery and fun with fireworks like Yoimiya is, and Hu Tao’s animation being silly, goofy and adorable like she is :D

i think what gets the most points out of me are whether they include relevant objects and whether the end pose is cool

Came here to watch the animations cuz mine freezes/lags until they finish so yeah I couldn't see a single thing they do

I would really like to see a "what if Venti released today"!

Most disappointing for me was Kirara, she could had jumped on screen from her box form. Most surprising would be Keqing's as the teleport is actually really satisfying to see, not to mention you can actually see her throw the thing before she teleports. And my favorite is Hu Tao's, she simply had the best animation in my opinion lol.

I really want the " if venti was released today " video pls

YESSSSSS PLEAAASE, do the what if Venti was released now

heizou’s little weapon thingy is a jitte, basically a police baton

As a Venti fan, the "what if Venti's released today" video idea sounds really interesting ngl

Off topic: i was wondering who makes a good main character based on looks alone. (Without the traveler) For example: Bennett looks like a main character You could make a tierlist off of that

I actually love xingqius. The fancy stance he, the way he closes the book. Suits him as a fancy nerd. Wouldn't say it's the best but I enjoy it a lot

the yae rant was so out of pocket LMFAO you're such a fantastic content creator

ningungs show-and-tell rocks are the first pile form when she was dirt poor and the 2nd pile being gold and platinum ores?

Diluc and Kaeya's dissapointed me So much... I Love them both to pieces but it's so incredibly dissapointing because both of their Party screen animations are so similar to their idle animations. Diluc could do something cool with calling his bird and having it perch on his arm or something like a "Dark night hero" entrance or ready his Claymore. Kaeya could do a cool sword trick since his sword work is so pretty, or have one of his icicles surround him, or adjusting his eyepatch or doing other coin tricks like rolling it between his fingers, or just any other movement that wasnt the same as his idle animation.

I was lowkey hoping Neuvillette came up from the water in a dragon form that would have been so cool

-Aether's disappointed me, I get that they're the first character we get but.. idk -I think that Sayu's surprised me the most, not really in a good or bad way I just was expecting her to yawn like Layla but she actually had a cool animation -Overall my favorite is Lyney's, I didn't manage to pull him this time around but he's just *chef kiss*

Yae Miko is my favourite character but i do think her's isn't very flashy, i like it well enough but it would be better if she kept the tail or she could have 5 tails like when she uses her ult, that would make it really good. My favourite animation is for Lyney, now that one is flashy, which makes sense. Lynette's is also very nice.
