Same here.
Not my all time favorite, but it's in the top ten.
Sure my most played game ever (+750hrs).
I like Thighnari's design.
I hate Dori's design. (Looks like Diona and I hate Diona's design as well).
Ambivalent towards Collei's design. It looks fine in principle but something about it feels off, though I can't put my finger on it. Have to see it in-game. Edit: Saw her in-game model and I like it.

Someone on Reddit did have a very hopium based theory that the characters from the rainforest area will be light skinned, while the characters from the desert will darked skinned. I have no belief that that will be case, but it would be a nice touch if so.
Either way, I can live with Collei's design. Nothing particularly stands out about it, but I don't think there's anything wrong with it either. Rn she's the hero I'm interested in based on the prior kit leaks.

You expected more? I'm shocked we got 2 lol.

I kinda don't like Tighnari's design and I don't mind the girls' designs... If those are all we are getting in 3.0 I am perfectly fine keeping on saving my primogems/wishes. Which is kinda sad for a completely new region, but at the same time also great. ;)
all those leaks, we need something to break
here a good art for my perfect due

And with rumours that the archon is a child... ho boy. Gonna be a long region. :P
In all seriousness, these aren't to my taste and to my massive surprise, I vastly prefer the bloke. But I'm sure these designs will hit the spot for some.

In terms of new gacha characters sure, but we'll also see another few upcoming gacha characters immediately who will likely be on banners in quick succession (quicker than you can save at least), so maybe you'll like the others more!
We got to see 9 Inazuma gacha characters with the 2.0 release.

I wonder if Sumeru will be accessible without having progressed in the story that far. Could new players potentially travel all the way to Sumeru and get their character materials from there?
I had fun watching a new player travel all the way down to Liyue Harbour, they had nothing of the map unlocked, and getting lost on the way to find a specific material for a Liyue character that they pulled early. Imagine the same happening even farther into the unknown to Sumeru.

Yesss, Mein Fräulein looks so good! :D
I kinda wished though those white costume parts were dark.

Apparently, of the handful of leaked characters we got, we're getting at least 3 more in Sumeru, just not in 3.0. Something about all the NPCs and characters we've seen so far being from the rainforest, and having lighter skin, and once we get to the desert Egypt based area of Sumeru, we'll get more dark skinned characters.
If that's true and not copium, then I'll be remotely content. Sumeru is based on the Middle East, which has a mix of skin tones, so having 3 of the Sumeru native characters we've heard of so far having darker skin is promising at least. That's more that the 1 of Mondsandt (technically 0 as Kaeya isn't native there), 1 of Liyue, and 0 of Inazuma. Wish we started off with at least one, but whatever. Hope at least one of them is a 5*.

Looks great.
Well crap. Time to my Diluc off the bench I guess. Well, if the price is decent.
Said the same thing to my friend when I saw it lmao. Man walked straight out of Xenoblade.
Love all 3 new chars, and both skins are great. Would hope for more tanned/dark-skinned character but I made my peace with the leaks we've had for a while now.
Not expecting a ton, but I thought they might occasionally drop a light tan character like Kaya at least.
They have to do something about this. Expecting new players to make their way through a couple hundred hours of quests before they can level the characters they pulled won't work.
If the Chasm is the only connection to Sumeru they will have to at least finish the Liyue main story and do the world quest to open it up.
Better than having to do Inazuma as well, but still a pretty big ask, lol.
Test runs give enough materials to do the first ascension (20/40), but by the time you have the Chasm unlocked (AR 28), you have Ascension 2 unlocked (40/50) which you won't be able to do anymore without regional mats and world boss drops, so with the current system it's impossible for chars from Sumeru to "keep up" with the ascension cap if you're a new player.
I'm massively curious about what they're going to do/if they're going to do anything, because it really is a major problem.
Those leaked characters look … pretty bad. Especially Tighnari who just seems so busy, maybe in game will look better 🤷♂️.
The only leak that looks great is the Diluc skin, damn. Although I'm still part of the no-Diluc club and don't want to pay for skins, so 🫠.

I was recently running around in southern Liyue and there's like a wide valley opening up with a river and distant mountains that you can't access yet with Paimon holding you back. I have the feeling that will be the main entrance to Sumeru and not (or not only) through the Chasm.
Sumeru characters in Mond and Liyue were able to travel there before the Chasm opened up again, right? I don't think it is the only way in and out of the country.
That would be better. Unless they couple word-bosses to world quests that require you to play certain archon quests. Although it will probably be fine for the initial batch, but it might become an issue again with new areas in subsequent patches (*cough* Enkanomiya *cough*).
I smell another Leaker Hunt Decree incoming.
These are my two main takeaways as well. This game seems to really love going back to the well of uneven legwear and I will never understand it.
I don't actively dislike any of the new character designs if those turn out to be accurate, but I can't say I'm necessarily a big fan either.
Is this genie-themed character supposed to be that rumored new "young girl" body type? The splash art makes her look too big to be the baby Qiqi-style but not quite tall enough for the middle teen/young woman rig we currently have either. Not really a fan if that turns out to be true.
Apparently it's 2480, 1980 with the discount. I don't think it's worth the extra cost, mostly because the skins were all overpriced to begin with, but it is arguably the best skin they've released so far (including the free ones).
Why would people who live in a rainforest be white, lol. I don't think any peoples of the rainforest on earth are white.
The Jinn-themed Diona clone being white as a sheet is a pretty telling sign, if you ask me. We'll see a few tans but nothing like the diversity you can find in something like Dyslite.
No, you're thinking of the Dendro Archon. This girl is the same as Klee/Qiqi/Diona
Ofc not. . we'll get our 3rd brown character when Natlan comes around with Iansan.
I don't know. It's not like I'm calling the shots at Mihoyo or anything. Maybe the logic is since it's a desert, you're more likely to be tan? Rainforest is covered from the sun by trees and most of the scholars stay indoors, so they're the Genshin default skin tone. Dumb logic, but from what we've seen of Natlan in the preview video and prequel manga, that might be what Mihoyo is actually going for.
It's not confirmed either way, just copium.
