@Iudex_Neuvi_ 2025: She slowly regains her passion for the stage while making films.
2026: She realizes that filmmaking is exciting and serves as a way to reaffirm her passion for art.
At this rate, it will probably take until around 2035 to reach the conclusion that Furina's fans want.
@Iudex_Neuvi_ The reason Furina's fans are frustrated with HoYoverse's storytelling is its excessively slow pacing.
2024: She has a desire for the arts, but is afraid to stand on stage due to 500 years of trauma. She tries to gradually overcome this by producing films behind the scenes.
@Iudex_Neuvi_ Well, I'm sry to say this, but regarding the relationship between Furina and the film, at least for now, it doesn't seem like the film is being used as a tool to show Furina's character growth. Rather, it feels like Furina is being used as a tool to explain the theme of the film.
@Iudex_Neuvi_ Look. The Teyvat chapter of Genshin Impact only has two years left, and after those two years, Furina will disappear from the story forever unless miHoYo decides to sell SP characters in Genshin. Aren't you being too optimistic? We don't have much time left.
@Iudex_Neuvi_ I'm not sure if having a tea party with Arlecchino in an excited voice, completely forgetting that Furina was terrified of her in the character story, can really be considered a normal interaction 😅
@Iudex_Neuvi_ I know what you are trying to say. Furina becoming a film director signifies her transition from a passive subject, who played the role of the Hydro Archon for 500 years under someone else's (Focalors') instructions, to an active subject who plans and executes her own scripts.
@Iudex_Neuvi_ Furina has talked about nothing but movies so much that some people are worried she will only talk about movies again during her limited screen time in the 7.2 Archon Quest. This is absolutely not a normal situation.
@Iudex_Neuvi_ Didn't I tell you? For three whole years since the Archon Quest, Furina has been talking about nothing but movies, and all her interactions with anyone else have been completely cut off, except for Navia, Clorinde, and Chiori. This is why Furina's fans hate the current story.
@Iudex_Neuvi_ I see. So HoYoverse made the choice to only have Furina appear in the story once a year as a film director, cutting off her interactions with the rest of the Fontaine characters except for Navia, Clorinde, and Chiori. Right?
@neuvfuris OMG I just saw another self-proclaimed Furina fan arguing that Furina's Flanderization—appearing in events only once a year strictly as a film director—is completely fine because the director role symbolizes her mental growth
@FangirlisI@limontriks Honestly, I'm a bit jealous of Cyno because he got a SQ2 that explains his hidden powers. Meanwhile, there's a high chance Furina won't even get a SQ2 that explores her side as an Archon before the Teyvat Chapter ends.
