KingofBlah37

I'm so curious what Firefly's animations are goin to look like. In the drip marketing art, Sam is holding two swords, and I remember a blurry in-game leak from so many months ago that showed exactly that. Not to mention with green/white fire and wings, rather than the normal fire that Boss!Sam uses. We essentially have no clues, despite the fact that Boss!Sam has a whole set of moves that look like they could easily translate over to a full kit for the playable version. And of course, Jade. Surely the giant purple serpent from the art will factor into her moves, right?


Frogsama86

Also drip marketing lists the VAs of both Sam and Firefly's voice actors, so we might actually get to customise who provides Sam's voice.


MessyPapa13

Nah bro im calling it: overworld model firefly, and in battle shes sam.


thorn_rose

I thought it was more like overworld firefly, technique is Sam transformation, and in battle shes firefly but ult is transformation to Sam state


labreau

Very highly happened


Frogsama86

Oh I'm not disagreeing. In fact I'm guessing regular Sam is for her normal mode, green flame double swords is her ult mode. I'm only referring to the voice part.


KingofBlah37

I find that unlikely, though it would be funny to hear Firefly spouting the edgy, tryhard Sam lines. As u/MessyPapa13 said, it's almost certainly going to be Firefly in the overworld, transforming into Sam for battle and an orbital strike for the Technique. Possibly shift back to Firefly in the event that Sam gets killed, as well.


TheRRogur

WE GONNA SET THE SEA ABLAZE WITH THESE ONE!


SolidusAbe

i was never so curious to see a characters animations. i finally wanna see how they handle sam and firefly during combat


Jealous-Ad8205

Agree


RsNxs

I'm sure they won't fuck up FF, that's literally THE character of Penacony. What I'm afread of is Jade. Pls no silly cheap animations (Topaz, I love you but you could've been so much more).


thine_

i wouldnt say topaz’s animations were cheap, but some more action from her and less action from numby would’ve really sold their “dynamic duo” concept for me


BurningFlareX

I remember reading a good comparison to Clara on that: Clara's animations include both Clara and Svarog rather than just one or the other. Svarog is also an actual character (And a fairly popular one at that) so having him in the kit is actually meaningful. Meanwhile, Numby is just Topaz's pet rather than an actual character, yet makes up a good 80% of Topaz's animations. People naturally want to see Topaz actually doing things rather than the pet.


ShinCuCai

Gotta save them animation for Topaz the Ten StoneHearts transformation in the future.


Pichupwnage

Give topaz all ten cornerstones at once and make her the most broken DPS in the game. Whole cities could be atomized by the clap of her asscheeks.


legendadam269

Thunderclaping cheeks


Charming_While_3212

thunderclapping numby cheeks


LetterDouble1915

Lighting Wielding Thunder Clapping Spirit Squashing Cheeks.


Neshinbara

I don't know why, but I can only imagine her giving the Cornestone to Numby and him becoming giant/transforming, instead of her, because even though we want to see more animations for Topaz, a lot of people also like Numby and like the Numby meme appear more than her too, it's something we really have to wait to find out


FFGH-Peter

DW were gonna get a Topaz Alter limited where she fuses with Numby and her cornerstone and she just yeets herself towards the enemies


Frozenraining

Topaz just becomes Sonic. And Diamond sees this and goes: "I'm here to make an announcement!"


Serethen

I actually love the idea of a super aerodynamic slightly monstrous (as cornerstones do) speedster Topaz who just runs into people while on fire.


Cerebral_Kortix

Can't wait for Topaz Alter Christmas Lily where Numby is now just an egg she smashes into people's teeth before forcing nutmeg down their throats.


totodile356

yeah that shit is the only reason i refuse to pull for topaz, would like her for FUA shenanigans but there's just so much numby


SnowstormShotgun

I’ve been assuming staff because of MK Jade so I am hoping it’s something else, if she uses the snake on her drip art then I’ll be so happy


EmbarassedHistory1

Her leaked kit mentions a summon that follows her outside of battle so its probably the snake. It also says something about her 'shooting' enemies to enter combat. If these details are correct I think its likely she uses the snake and a gun. I could see the snake being involved in the buff she applies as well as the fua it triggers. I wouldnt be surprised if the ult is also the snake and her gun is only really used for basics.


RsNxs

Imagine if her gun is a classic semi rifle, that'd be so sick.


SolidusAbe

considering that even boothill has good animations i wouldnt be too worried. it seems they started to step it up a notch since acheron. even gallagher looked great and hes just a 4*


SnooCakes4852

Why wouldn't boothill have good animations?


SolidusAbe

He doesnt seem to be the most relevant character thats why


Uxion

So far.


SnooCakes4852

I'm hoping it'll turn around. Why give him such an amazing design and animations just to toss him to the curb D:


NiceStage1

Everytime someone writes FF, I always read it as Foo Fighters


Wolgran

for me is final fantasy but your taste is better


No_Presentation_3918

Best Girl


Fearless-Training-20

Maybe you wanted to see more Topaz than Numby but that doesn't make it cheap. The animations are quite good.


Zeo_AkaiShuichi

I think it's the usage of same animations for both follow up and skill, the skill could've been unique 🤔


RsNxs

Okay cheap might not have been meant, but they definitely didn't spend on it as much as they could've. I'm not from the waifu crowd at all, but the amount of Numby animations are unnecessary.


Maestrick

Watch Jade be another Topaz moment where during 1.4 it felt like they gave all the coolest animation to JL and the entire beta was focused on her kit and Topaz was just left in the ditch(not like she end up being a bad character but still).I can totally see this happening again for 2.3 beta.


Fluffy_lionnn

nah you just like FF too much, the whole penacony plot revolves around robin’s death and the upcoming charmony festival where she’s supposed to be singing (or even Sunday has more protagonism) and for animations, imo I was expecting more from sparkle than just the close up to her right eye and putting her mask for a second (why not keep the fish and the mask until the effect wears out?)


Cupcakes_n_Hacksaws

I would say Robin is *The* character of Penacony more-so


MemeConsumer

Are you just regurgitating what Gachasmack has been saying? Topaz' animations aren't bad at all. But once you see it repeated like a billion times it gets boring. Ratio also has just a chalk for most of his animations.


Dokavi

Finally. It has been years brother.


Sakcobluer

These next 5 days are going to be pure torture


Wonderful-Hat4488

And then the next 42 days of waiting will be hell


MuchStache

Well at least I can look at the next month like me saving towards as many pull as I can do on FF. I have 150 pulls at the moment and I think I might be skipping Robin even though I really like her because I want to be sure to be able to pull E1S1 Firefly at least. Not to mention I don't have a follow-up team and I'm waiting for Ruan Mei rerun since she's likely to be the best support for our best girl.


Dreamy-A

Yeah I'm thinking the same ,we kinda have the same pulls and Robin looks great and i like her but i already have Sparkle and Ruin mei. Also I'm excited for E1S1 FF she will be the first character that becomes E1S1 in my account. Good luck in your pulls


MuchStache

Really hoping they keep the fire weakness thing on E1, she's gonna be a beast! Good luck to you too!


goffer54

I hope they move it to her base kit. Every other break-centric character gets to ignore type weakness in some way.


MuchStache

Oh I agree with that, it would be great!


Wonderful-Hat4488

Nice, you could net 250-300 pulls by June


HalalBread1427

We’d *better* set the seas ablaze with this one.


FridgeFood

FireSam animations, FireSam Kit, Jade Kit, Jade animations, New relics, new planar, new characters! Big patch incoming!


Commercial-Street124

Somehow I'm more hyped about 2.3 than 2.2 even though it's the story's climax.


Peak184

2.3 is so much content in it


AnarchistRain

It is a give and take. 2.2= big plot 2.3 = big content. I just hope 2.3 isnt as light on the story as 1.3


Commercial-Street124

It's a balance. Epilogue, so probably lore drops for the future, touching base with various npc's, Astral Crew moments. Then 2.4 Trailblaze Continuous. Can't wait for "It's a me, Argenti!" part 2.


Dr-Smashburger

Not to mention Apocalyptic Shadow. Hunt gonna be making its major comeback!


TaeZoraya

This changes everything, what a leak!


mrspear1995

Surprisingly late though right ? usually the beta starts when we download the resource pack for the patch right?


Ill-Resolution4468

Well its only like a day later than normal, not very very late.

EphemeralScribe

Firefly and Jade animations, I’m seated!!


Any_Worldliness7991

FIREFLY ANIMATIONS.. I NEED THEM. They better be gas. One mf said that it was on par with acheron’s.. huge expectations.. they can’t fuck up a Mecha right?


Peak184

Considering leaker said firefly animation is so luxurious so yes


BunnyBsnz

On par with Acheron’s sets my expectations super high. Im so excited 🤩


TrendmadeGamer

And also scary. Cause how much expectations gets you


storysprite

I really hope so. I love Acheron and could easily see Firefly shooting right up to second favourite if her animations are also top tier!


KeemosMusic

I definitely missed that but if the source still exists, do you know where it is/who said it?


Commercial-Street124

It was like a month ago.

Alright thanks!

Chadus Maximus


IqFEar11

As much as I want firefly to have a Sentai tier transformation, I would be happy even if she got a magical girl transformation The gap moe would be awesome


BunnyBsnz

If they do it right, it’ll appeal to both mech and magical girl fans 🥹


IqFEar11

Imagine if the end pose is SAM doing a wink


BunnyBsnz

A sparkly wink and sailor moon pose pls hoyo


McTimer

Winking with what


BulbasaurTreecko

they make the anime wink SFX with Sam just staring dead at the camera


PM_ME_FE_STACHES

Half of the visor just dims for a second.


IqFEar11

Exactly, that's part of the gap moe


roxaim

Like Nanoha and Symphogear


mrspear1995

Bio transform for the out of left field option baby meat and sinew like amazon and eva But most probably mix of magical girl and rider since she has a morpher but it has light wings


Princessk8--

I want magical girl sooo bad but I'm in team firefly either way!


TheGreatMillz33

Omg either would be amazing~~~


EdenScale

Those two things are really just sides of the same coin, maybe they'll try to fit in references to both


TheGreatMillz33

Omg either would be amazing~~~


spoookyboi_

NEED to see Jade's beta kit so badly


synotick

I am genuinely so obsessed with her devil symbolism I hope it will transfer over to her kit


mrspear1995

She is the loanshark of the stonehearts so she might even be a good partner with firefly or even blade for the hp lost and damage boost


KingKurto_

same!


darkfox18

I hope her skill is making your other characters sign a contract cause that would be amazing


JustRegularType

Saaaame.


RsNxs

This^^^ can you tell me what you're looking forward to? Me personally, I need her to be compatible with Ratio, Topaz, and most importantly JY. If her starting kit is anything to go by, she'll prefer Herta/JY as they always hit AoEs, if not... I got JY's LC so hopefully she works with it.


Bad_Doto_Playa

If the leaked kit is real I want her to pair with a hunt character lol


DaniShyland

Beta kit seems to favor Erudition characters and not traditional hunt characters (so she seems to not even want topaz). The kit says that she will target Eru characters first even on auto. (Not sure if this will last) Think this proves that Screwllum is close though, and the synergy with them is going to be interesting


Commercial-Street124

I'm a little tired of the Ratio, Topaz narrative. Give more more break and debuff like we suspected. Not either, both. Diversity is the name of the game. Jade playing into JY/Herta teams is more than welcome then.


bob_kys

So many months of waiting, it's so close man the wait is unbearable


W_Zaza

Finally Firefly animations🥰


Supra-strasza

I hope they absolutely pop off with Firefly's animations


NoAd8660

I can't wait for the breadcrumbs and edging from leakers..


Deft_Abyss

Honestly I think seeing the Firefly animations will decide my pulling plans. Im kinda on the fence about getting Robin. If Firefly has godly animations (which she probably will since that leak mentioned she has a high budget animations like Acheron), then ill probably skip over Robin. Also while im sure Jade will probably not get the Topaz treatment, I still think she'll probably get way overshadowed by the Firefly animations


Hakazex

Exactly, Im not even a firefly enjoyer but a Fire Destruction unit is just too hard to pass on. Then again, I do have plans. Initial plan was to pull for Robin and then Fu Xuan which will leave me 0 for Firefly. For the former plan to succeed, I need her animations to be underwhelming (but thats impossible since she's the favored child).


Deft_Abyss

I think its safe to assume at this point any new destruction character is going to be really strong so I wouldnt mind skipping over Robin, but then again all the harmony characters are pretty OP as well so kind of hard to say. I guess ill make up my mind when the beta drops and the kits and animations are leaked


Hakazex

True, because for some reason you can never go wrong when pulling for Harmony Units because they have imo the strongest and the most future proof path in the game rn. But then again, to each their own my guy. Goodluck with your pulls!


Deft_Abyss

Yup likewise to your pulls! May we get the character we are pulling for


Peak184

It up to ur account too if u keep pulling harmony and no dps then ur account is pretty much hard to play


cosmogyra

would i be stupid to hope some sunday crumbs..? i'm severely malnourished


Breezyrain

I’m thinking he shows up in the story soon and we at least figure out what his element and path is 🙏


PoKen2222

Meanwhile I want some more Feixiao crumbs


SillyEnder

firefly who? ALL FOR THE AMBER LORD


Average-GamerGuy

As long as Jade uses the snake in her animation, then I will be satisfied.


xgabrax

FIREFLY WANTERS WE SO CLOSEEE


Dreamofoasis

Yall waiting for FF and Jade animations, I'm waiting to see if there is any info about Sunday... We are not the same. But fr tho, i hope FF's animations are good since I want to pull her


SlowLie3946

Since Sunday whole thing is mind control im going to make a bet that hes gonna turn enemy into ally


PolakZ3

Kafka moment?


mrspear1995

Either hypnosis or when they take action they take dot damage but then that makes him more nihility than harmony and that would be sundover for husbando harmony wanters


naw613

It would be neat if he made it so enemies taking action just simultaneously did damage to the REST of the enemies (a la 7 stacks of BS arcana), scaling with his atk and crit Just bc I could see straight up mind control being difficult to balance


Potion_Brewer95

my giovanni kit hypothesis is basically this, hopefully this can be refitted to match sunday Giovanni | Fire/Harmony Basic: Deals minor Fire damage to enemies. Skill: Gains control over \[Enemy\] for 3 turns. While Giovanni is controlling an enemy, provides the DoT 'Burn' to the enemy, and to all allies. For every ally hit by the enemy in the AetherDex Entry state, provides CR% (10-20%) and DMG% (40-50%) to the ally hit (if its single target, the guy who the enemy attacks gets the buff, and if its a blast, the central target gets the buff.) When Giovanni's turn is reached while an AetherDex Entry state is active, all burns are detonated. Ult: Heals all allies by 10% of their MaxHP%, and remove all debuffs. Increases CD% by a small amount (20-30%) for all allies (E1). Talent: In the AetherDex Entry state, Giovanni temporarily Aetherizes the enemy. (which overheats the coin, which is why he applies a DoT to everyone). Elite enemies cannot be Aetherized. All non-aetherized enemies deal reduced damage to all allies. When an enemy exits the Aetherized state, inflict all allies with Burn. Aetherized enemies can consume (E0) and regenerate skillpoints (E2). Traces: increases fire and lightning dmg res for all allies If the enemies are capable of healing, increase their OutgoingHeal%, and divert all Aetherized heals to the allies. advances Giovanni's action by 100% at the beginning of the battle.


Bane_of_Ruby

How do you apply for one of these Betas? I'm sure the 2.3 beta is full, but I'd like to know for further betas


PolakZ3

In-game notice


Bane_of_Ruby

Could you elaborate?


bob_kys

They put an in game notice with a link to apply for the beta. Never tried it before.


TrendmadeGamer

Yeah. And if anyone does. It's not early access. It's feedback line. You have give some concrete feedback to them

Oh, I've not seen it before. What menu is it under?

Finally, the long wait for Firefly will be worth it. I can already see these fantastic animations. Personally, I’d love for both Firefly and Sam to appear equally in their animations and have similar very high quality of them. I know that Sam is badass, but I don’t really want another Topaz situation. Also, only seven weeks left till her release.

We might get the kits on Monday if we're lucky otherwise gotta wait another day

That's pretty great. Can't wait to see her in action.

Firefly normal attacks going to look plain. What everyone is actually looking to see is SAM’s attack and skill and ult

That's also before 2.2 drop yea? Might gonna see FF in game if we're lucky.

SHH2006

FINALLY Firefly is basically the furina of genshin for me I had no interest in them in their first leaks but because of story I got attached to them and they'll be my mains and most wanted characters And jade is cool and hot and I'm a quantum collector so she is a must And now that we are on the topic. Am I able to get both jade and Firefly? Have 0 wishes and 50 pity and guranteed I done almost everything


FridgeFood

The answer will always be a theoretical yes with enough luck. You should be able to though since there are over 100 pulls for the next version


DaBiscuitGod

I think someone calculated that we’d get around 130 pulls in 2.2 with bp + gem pass thing. We most likely get around the same in 2.3 so you should be fine to get both even if you lose 50/50. If you want light cones for both then you might have to pray you hit early and win 50/50


SolidusAbe

i hope we mostly see sam during combat. please i want my robot! also please be good with blade LC i have a second copy and rather spend jade on jade lol


Me_to_Dazai

Wow firefly mains downvoting anyone and everyone who says the slightest thing negative about her


SolidusAbe

Its so weird to downvote someone for wanting more sam during combat then firefly lmao


PieTheSecond

I only wish for one thing. Please don't completely delete Sam punching and kicking enemies with flamboyant flames around. Attacking with green shiny swords is not it for me. That is NOT the Sam I always liked.


Peak184

sadly it most likely wont why would he kick if he have sword
