As a Mexican, i feel compelled to share what i know of the names of the characters based on mesoamerica, with their pronunciation between parenthesis The lavander cryo girl: Citlalli (Sitlaly) - Star in Nahuatl The jaguar girl: Xilonen (Shilonen) - The mexica goddess of tender maize, the name meanig "The hairy one" 💀 in reference to the hairs of the corn plant The dendro Xiao: Kinich (Kinitsh)- maya god of the solar eye, lord of light, music and the 4 paths of the universe, maker of time and heat The pet thing with Kinich: Ajaw K'hul (Ahau kuhul) - this is more of a title than a name, but it would be something like sacred lord, someone of high status, connector between humans and gods in maya Probably the guy that the archon is talking to in the end: Xbalanque (ishbalanke the last e pronounced like the first e in empire) - one of the twin gods of the maya creation mythos, reborn after defeating the 9 gods of the underworld, and became the sun and moon along with his twin to bring light to the world
Here's why I think the pyro archon's design is so incredible. Normally characters have a rather high amount of accessories that gives their character model volume and depth. Almost all of them if not all have some sort of cape that gives them flow and volume so they won't seem flat. Some have scarfs or ribbons etc. Mavuika has none of that, she has no cape or accessories...all she has is a skin tight full body suit. Technically that makes her character model very slim and not stand out. Her huge flaming mane of hair is what gives her this big aura and depth to the model. The complete focus is on her hair, the embodiment of flames
I'm so hyped. I really like the character designs! Also I like that they went with the Brazilian carnival vibes as the inspiration for the character designs.
I'm thinking Xbalanque is the Pyro Sovereign, since his epithet is "Entombed with the Primal Fire". Maybe the Flames that Mavuika is with is the Primal Fire?
little fan fact, Mavuika's cn va was the system voice and several characters in LOL, (same for HoK and a character), even some characters from the cartoons that i watched in my childhood, including Pinkie Pie and Princess Celestia from MLPs series, the early 00s Doraemon and some wuxia dramas characters, my jaw dropped to the ground when I learned that. No wonder I was so familiar with that voice and yeah, sounds an anouncer‘s voice. That apart, hope to see Tomoaki and Mikako in the JP livestream jksjkjksjk😜
if Maviuka has 1 million fans I am one of them, if Maviuka has 10 fans I am one of them, if Maviuka has 1 fan, then i am that one fan. if Maviuka has 0 fans, then i am no more in this world.
Ajaw is pronounced Ahau. There's a Mayan Sun god called Kinich Ahau. I wouldn't be surprised if Ajaw is voiced because he's the Oz to Kinich, the Fischl-equivalent.
Thanks for having a relatable reaction to Mavuika. You were one of the only creators who truly felt the same way i did. I am a day 1 player. Was rapidly losing interest after Fontaine archon quest - especially after the great quality of HSR, Wuthering waves and even ZZZ now. But Mavuika has brought my interest back. 110%. Will save everything for her.
Xlice's reaction is literally the same as mine. I fell so hard for her I can't even express it in words. And Her voice actor OMG, that speach speaks volumes bro, it had power, enthusiasm, fire, embers combined into one voice. Soooo Good broooooo please come fast Mavuika I can't waitttttt Alsoo is it just me or the back of her hair lools like the Pyro symbol?
Holy trailer I'm seriously considering not pulling for anything till the pyro archon Murata (a version of Himeko LETS GOO come on ^_^) drops and just get her S2 + weapon. That being said tiger gio gyaru lady and red haired Elf mommy (Alice ??? ) those are hard for me to skip for sure.
Maviuka has an awesome design. Her entire design is full of symbols of the sun. Pretty sure that's a big indicator that she is indeed the Pyro archon. Though I will say every characters design fits the theme of Natlan except Maviuka. It feels like she doesn't belong to Natlan that she is like a foreigner. Is it story related or a case of I thought it looked cool. Her outfit wasn't what I was really expecting Natlan's god of war to look like. Though there is always a twist with the archon's. So their is a chance that we are being lead astray by thinking she is the archon. She may just be related to Murata and not Murata herself. Excited for the next arc of the story and most likely pulling Maviuka cause she still looks awesome even if she sticks out like a sore thumb
If Natlan like Fontaine has a dragon sovereign I hope the archon and dragon surpass Bennett and Xiangling in terms of strength plus their in game use 🙏🏻
Xlice just one request. From now on Please release every video that includes the pyro archon , like teasers , demos, and mainly archon quests . Pls sir
So lets se... We have Baby Shark.. Hook 2.0 Tignari without Bat ears Herta mixed with Fu Xuan Kirara Mother The Character from Trailer that we git long time ago Rosaria.. If she was a pirat And Crime Boss Mafia Style Pyro Archon 😂😂😂 No need to thank me
Imagine Mavuika releases. You are finally hopefull that Xiangling's reign of terror will end. Turns out Mavuika is a pyro subdps/buffer that synergizes well with and buffs xiangling..making her even scarier than before. Your hopes are shattered as you cry before the throne, with xiangling sitting on it, all the polearms lodged on the ground at her feet, and Mavuika, on her knees, like a loyal knight, "Your Majesty, the Pyro Queen Xiangling, This is the man that tried to rebel against your grace and strength. Allow me to punish this mortal for his foolish desires.", Xiangling - "Stand down Mavuika, my loyal knight, you have done well, bringing him to me". Xiangling stands up and walks over to the polearms, and slowly caresses her hands over the polearms as if wondering something. "Hmmm..so little rebel, how would you like me to end you? Cleanse your life with staff of homa? Or bestow the divine thunder of King Deshret's priest upon you? Or would you perhaps like to die by the spear wielded by the renowned Ako Domeki..hm?". "Oh i know..perhaps, this would be the best..", then proceeds to unearth the Crescent pike, "have been a while since i used this one. It would be fun, right Guoba? Would you be a dear and prepare our finest dish for our dear..rebel..guest....heat it well please, it would be a shame to serve our beloved guest something..cold and unfeeling now...wouldn't it?". Xiangling coos into you ear, very gently with a red hot crescent pike resting in her other hand.... " Nice and Spicy!! None of this will go to waste...."
@@distritochristianangeloa.157 The VA isn't always the indication. She looks straight up like Himeko and even is dressed like one of the suits she has in 3rd.
For me both JP and En sounds good, both this languages are not my first language. But I understand en so it sounds more natural for me. For many en speakers JP dub was what they hear all their lives, and EN dub in anime was bad. So they become fans of Jp VA’s. In my childhood anime was always dubbed and it was very good. So yeah Jp dub is good but nothing crazy for me. Especially in Hoyo games, EN dub as good, and sometimes better, especially when you can hear and understand every word, and not just read translation.
I grew up watching American cartoons and found anime later. Actual cartoon EN VAs are so much better than the ones we get for anime and video games. Like Xlice said, you just hear the characters, not the actors. JP VAs are just consistently high quality unlike EN ones. Most of the good EN VAs are doing cartoons.
6:33 STRONG disagree. How the hell does leather mommy fit in an Aztec designed aesthetic? Even Mad Max knew to grunge up the scenery a bit to make this sort of costume design work. Bikini would have been even worse; the other characters shown at least have a semblance of belonging in this setting. This one looks like she popped right out of Star Rail (which Frankly if she had, this design would be AMAZING) or even ZZZ rather than Genshin. They _may_ have been able to get away with this in Fontaine by way of "fashion" but here in the rural outback??? I genuinely can't see how they can justify it. 18:50 I think that's just a personal preference. I personally like Fontaine's designs better than these, though 1 or 2 were considerably weaker than the weakest here. I'd say Natlan's designs are "safer" more dialed in designs (except the last one which frankly has no grounding in the space she's shown) but the show stoppers in Fontaine were perfection (LOVE Neuvi's and Furina's designs so much, not my favorite in the game but _extremely_ strong "show don't tell" energy with them).
@@shrrewb I'm not saying Natlan as a whole, but if you look at the structures she's in as well as the buildings/environments from all the other teasers, it's _very_ Aztec.
@@sittingcrowd912 If your design needs to be explained the design failed. Period. They put the shape language in of ancient society/warring subtropical region (which is very Aztec), and then slapped a leather mommy on top of that with NOTHING to anchor it in. Like I said, had this been from Fontaine, they may have been able to write it off as fashion, if this was Star Rail or ZZZ I wouldn't bat an eye. But from the design language they chose to show this costume design makes literally no fucking sense in that environment.
@@KyleCorbeau but what makes you think there aren’t other characters like her? We can only say what we know and we know that there’s a biker theme in the mix of this. This is what I mean by people expecting something and then getting disappointed when it doesn’t happen. We don’t have all the details yet so we can’t just assume she doesn’t fit the theme. We haven’t even seen the other possible red heads from the manga. People thought Fontaine was steam punk and were proven wrong when it released. Let’s just wait until it releases.
