Dataminer announced the possible appearance of the long-awaited Fontaine and mentioned his appearance. The good-natured master of the Ordo Favonius has been waiting for a long time and arguing about which model he will get. insider Plusle (Tao) told when something more can become known about the hero than just guesses of the players.
According to the dataminer's tweet, the appearance of the head of the order will occur in patch 3.8+. As you know, C 4.0 will open a new location - Fontaine. According to an insider, with the release of this region, more information about Varka will be revealed as a character. The comments on the post clarified that there is a chance to see it already in 3.8, so the tweet does not say "4.0+".
Perhaps the return of Ordo Magister Favonius is closer than many might have thought. Maybe the developers will share the appearance of Varka in the game video. Also Plusle (Tao) did clarifications on appearance: the master looks young, and not like an old man, he does not have a beard.
UPD. There are new details from the source Team China.
- Rough/powerful/wild design, reminiscent of a wolf.
- Oddly shaped cryo Eye of God.
- There is a feather on the left chest, like Miki.
- Mickey's design elements and Rosaries.
- Stylish chain element of clothing.
- Muscular chest.
- Cool hairstyle with some wolf decoration.
- The color palette is reminiscent of Zoroark (the Pokémon below).
In update 3.1 in the event "Of Ballads and Brews" a letter from Warka arrived in Mondstadt. The text mentions the purpose of the expedition, which the master left six months ago - a dangerous secret of bygone days. According to the words and the context of the association with Fatui, it can be judged that the mission is connected with the Abyss and Kaenri'ah, which can be associated with the exit of the master.
Share your assumptions about the possible appearance of Varka in the comments. Read ages by Genshin Impact.
And there was no information slipped anywhere, will he be a playable character or a background character? Or a background character, but as Signora, that is, with a special model? Because the developer's love of making playable characters look young and cute, regardless of backstory... is promising.
Usually, characters with God's Eye become playable by trend. If my memory serves me right, it is more correct to understand whether the hero will come out already when his model exists in the game - this is how they learned about the Wanderer that he is prepared for running animations and other things, i.e. It won't just be an NPC. In addition, the characters have phrases for him in the game. I don’t the leaks specifically about the “game”, maybe someone will correct it, but they are waiting for it just like that.
If it's true about the exterior, then personally I'm disappointed. Hoyovers can't give us either a boy a la Dion or a full-fledged adult man with a beard. Two unfortunate models are dres and not blowing their mustaches. Meh.
But anyway, I hope to see him soon. And finally find out what kind of eye of God he has)
Developers can change the concept of a character, and with al-Haytham they have learned at least how to improve the model without replacing it - there are chances for changes. I understand you, we will wait and believe)
