A lot of the arguments I'm seeing are pretty nonsensical. I think it will blow over by the time the game arrives. Ciri looks amazing. Beautiful, wise and badass.
the complaints are just from the usual suspects (the anti-woke grifters) that needs the grift to be going, the same people that talked shit about SH2 Remake and ofc none of them know anything about the source material.
The implied nudity helps but honestly I feel that the real ones all instantly call it's Witcher 4 on that scene more because of the colour gradient. It's a more subconscious thing but that dark but quite rich brown and maroon colouration is really distinctively associated with The Witcher. Where a lot of other games go for more washed out greys and browns Witcher likes to push these like rich but very dark colours. We just instinctively see a Witcher-style colouration and know. In the same way if the song that started playing later in the trailer had played early we'd all know just because "oh that's a witcher-style song."
Geralt is confirmed to be in this game. One of the stories takes 100 yrs after he retired and he is still somewhat active, so he can be be active in this game. The voice at the end of the trailer it is Geralt! That is the actor voicing Geralt. Also, CDPR Boston studio has been working for 3yrs on another game in the Witcher universe. It is either a co-op or a multiplayer and that will come out fairly soon. I can't imagine they will skip Geralt trying to start another franchise.
@@shimik11 I am not sure why they are so quiet about the game being made by Molases Flood/CDPR Boston. They have been working on it since the release of Cyberpunk. CDPR said that whatever it is it still is AAA scope. Phantom Liberty was made and released in shorter time than that game has been in production.
@@WhimsyPsyche So true queen, what a convenient worldview you have. In the other thread you said everyone who thinks she's ugly is trolling, and now you're saying everyone from that group who is married has a bad marriage/the wife needs saving. How convenient that everyone who holds opinions different to you is a liar and abuser. So convenient. Much intelligence.
@@Kvltklassik Thank you so much for being in so many threads, you're really boosting this video up for me. I appreciate it! Sad to see you imagined some of them though. I've never said everyone who thinks Ciri is ugly is trolling. Please re-read all my comments and answer them all with your slightly unhinged takes, I do love the engagement boost ❤️
I knew she'd be the next protagonist, but don't like that they made her an actual mutated witcher. since that breaks established lore and simply makes no sense and gives off "bad fanfiction" vibes.
Upsides: -Ciri as the protagonist -Combination of witcher potions and magic -Player choice and consequences involve more risk Downsides: -2028-2030 release window
I wish devs wouldn't announce new games so far out. As a Mass Effect fan it's been 4 years since ME5 got announced and all we've had is a single trailer and some art.
Game is actually probably more in the 12-24 months release window as Cyberpunk was announced in 2012 but development only started in 2016 after Blood and Wine and took 4 years. This has been in production since 2022, so 4 years would lead us to 2026, which seems to be more on the norm for standard AAA development. Not only that, but I do not believe they would be stupid enough to announce a game 4 years in advance, a mistake they have already made and corrected in the past (with Phantom Liberty). This is in engin and they have said that pre-production was over, which means that the story and systems are pretty much ironed out and all that's left is to actually make the game, which should not take more than 2 years for a team of 400 people going in full production mode.
Something no one really noticed in the trailer is that Cirilla kind of struggles physically cutting up the monster and that makes sense if you think about it. She needs 3 hits to cut of one of the arms. She needs 2 hits to cut of the head. She also uses that chain tool. And she helps herself with reaching to the veins of power. I think they did it on purpose hinting to us what the gameplay will look like. More agile and trickery combat + more gameplay around magic rather than brutal strength like in the case of Geralt. Oh and P.T Adamczyk is responsible for the music again, so its guaranteed that the game will be full of bangers :)
Also did you notice they made a point to show the dagger in the guys belt who notices the Witcher and at the end the dagger in the girls chest is the same and his is no longer in his waist
I wouldn't say Geralt had that much brute strength but he was also a very fit man. But I already know the game is gonna be good since they show Ciri struggle physically, which is perfectly normal as she is a woman. That's how women should be in games/movies. That was one of the main reasons I liked the new Tomb Raider games. The woke strong girl boss narrative is so forced down our throats nowadays.
I agree and disagree in a sense, I think you're right absolutely will be more tricky with her. But I don't think it's just for a gameplay reason, Geralt had trained for so many years before becoming his legendary self. Ciri now having maybe 10+ years max under her belt it's giving us a more human developmental feel and also it makes me wonder... She was able to do slay monsters before (proof with Witcher 3) how far was she able to actually go in the trial of grasses and what kind of magic helped her. I'm hoping the game and devs explain it!
@@georgemanize Careful bro. I have literally had people try to dox me in the last 24 hours for merely saying she looks different. If the mob finds your comment it's over.
I haven't seen anyone say but we all see that the guy who notices and calls out the Witcher is the one who killed the girl at the end right? They show his knife in his waist when he confronts Ciri at first then in the end scene the same knife is in the girls chest and he is saying "all we wanted was for her to woods, to go to the gods" He straight up killed her and that was the intent all along even if her dad didn't believe so
Yup that’s what I saw too, also when he asked who gave the Witcher the coin the dad looks away a bit. I think he might of hired ciri to save his daughter
It’s pretty obvious that it’s the guy that killed her yes, since the daughter was the sacrifice it makes a lot of sense that he would just kill her to fulfil the “prophecy” that needs to happen. The “gods” didn’t take her because Ciri saved her, he deemed she still needed to die to ensure the safety of the village. That’s what they would believe with their superstition and thus as says, there are no gods just monsters and that’s including him.
The beginning where she blocked the attack, it was a Quen. They could have made it a color specific to her, and her school. Or perhaps just her in general as she is of Elder Blood.
I wondered if it was Quen as well because of its barrier look. If it is it ur theory about it being school specific may be right because I remember Quen for Geralt is gold in color.
2 small details I genuinely loved about this and hope tells a bit about the gameplay. 3:55 - That aerial spin that we should all be HELLA familiar with that Ciri would absolutely have been trained to do... this means her technique and style will be similar to Geralt's 2nd thing, I think they specifically showed multiple times that Ciri is not as physically strong as Geralt, the sword getting pinned by the monster and her struggling to free it, taking (i think) 3 hits to hack off that limb at 4:32, 2 hits to cut off the head. I think it shows that the combat overall will have elements we are used to from playing as Geralt but will be more geared towards what Ciri's strengths will be which is her speed and agility... plus having to take multiple hacks to chop up enemies will make the combat even more gritty and brutal which im fuckin here for.
I love the trailer, it feels like a continuation of the first Witcher 3 trailer. Evil is evil. When she says "... there are only monsters!" You remember what Geralt said witchers do with monsters.
I'm excited to continue the Witcher adventures as our beloved Ciri. I think she looks amazing in the trailer. Oh and Polish ancient stories are so enigmatic and captivating... it's just super cool to learn a bit about some of them through the medium of videogames.
I'm so excited, it's immediately my nr1 most anticipated game! Witcher 3 is my nr2 game of all time and playing as Ciri is just perfect after how witcher 3 ended.
Yay, as a Pole I can't help but feel a little proud whenever people show their love for these games ❤ Didn't know you've had Witcher 3 playthrough on your channel (I've discovered you through ME), but I guess I now know what I'll be doing during Christmas break this year
Aaah that's awesome! And yes I do!! It's in the description if you want quick access to it. Beware though, it was sooo early in my TH-cam days, my accent is different, I'm uneasy in front of the camera, etc. It's cringe buuut yeah
Geralt gets his well deserved happy ending at the end of 'Witcher 3' and it is clearly set up that (depending on the ending you choose) that Ciri will be the new protagonist. I'm really looking forward to this! 'Witcher 3' is my favourite game ever.
my take is, that ciri had undergone some kind of witcher mutation. she lost some of her elder blood powers, but gained a whole lot of witcher powers to follow geralt and fill his footprints. if that makes sense?! witcher powers, less overpowered elder blood powers, some sort of magic which she leared from yen and triss. so she got everything
There's an interview with IGN explaining that she undergoes the trials at some point. People are also saying the end of W3 caused a second conjunctor so the world is more dangerous and I think it's fair to say she lost her time space powers when she stopped the freeze. She still has her elder blood of course which may make her special enough to survive the trials.
In the fight, it looked like she used a shield spell once, which is Quen if I am not mistaken.... but the color was different...it used to be yellow golden but was more reddish here. And with the chain it seemed to me like some modified form of Ignis channeled into the chain. Ciri - the perfect choice as new main character. And her last words in the Trailer remind me of Geralts words in the Witcher 3 trailer "...killing Monsters..."
Quen is orange color, so it didn’t seem out of the ordinary to me. The Igni infused fire chain was a neat trick. Dunno what the water electricity spell is, maybe something related to her magical abilities and elder blood?
The monster was protector, and the girl was not intended for sacifice but she probably was an adept, and future protector, monster who protected the village. In some sense she was a proto-Witcher for the area or for the portal where other monsters could enter the earth. They both die, killed by Ciri and mob. The fate of village and maybe all earth is grim. Monsters will go trough the portal.
Wasn't Aard the force push? Quen is the shield? I guess that was Quen. The monster design is so good! And the music! It will be so much fun playing as her again!
@WhimsyPsyche Yeah, was more like while, yellow-ish. Can't think of anything else. Guess they wanted it to be more visible, pop more. Maybe also just for the trailer.
in my opinion and it's just speculations : In the game Ciri had to pass the trial of the grass because something or someone has nerfed her ancient blood power (remerber Guys, Ciri at the end of the witcher 3 was litterlally OP (travelling through dimensions and other stuffs) and i'm so happoy about it because it shows something really good narratively speaking. She had to grind to developp her witchress abilities since she already had the knowledge.
4:10 "fate cannot be changed.. you cannot change anything" - the monster is talking about the ritual, but Ciri is known as "fate incarnate" because of her Elder Blood.. makes me think she became a mutant in an attempt to escape her Elder Blood destiny
I love the Witcher series. Love ciri. I expect the game to be as good as all of cdpr’s previous games. Looking forward to watching whimsy’s playthrough
I bet the graphics gonna be in whole new level than the last game ,since this is been made using UE5. Hope the Gameplay is gonna be all-new & improved too.
People hate it because they're stupid. "Oh, a female protagonist, must go online and spew hate now!!" Honestly, for all I care, these pathetic losers are welcome to ignore one of the greatest games to come and be miserable, and bitch and moan, while normal people and true gamers will enjoy this masterpiece.
Hola, me paso por aquí para decir que es un trailer cinematico con el motor del juego (unreal engine 5) asi que se verá muy muy similar al gameplay final. No es un CGI es muy distinto
Trained and raised by Geralt and Yennefer, Ciri will be more powerful and combining Witcher things with magic. And people that read the books know its just a logical choice. But those people are also complained the Series Vikings died with Ragmar not understanding that the original stories guiding that series were written like this.
I’m excited but nervous too. A lot of people bash the combat in Witcher 3 but I personally had no problems with it. I hope it holds the same combat style and open world. CDPR are masters of open worlds, I just really hope it doesn’t become super linear and essentially another God of War clone.
The Witcher 4! This is going to be amazing! I am happy it's Ciri as the protagonist. The trailer was cool. It remined me of that contract in The Witcher 3 that involves with a Leshen.
if i was a super whiny baby, my only issue would be having no jo wyatt as the va. Super hyped though still, also looking forward to night reign and project century
Omg my first thought when I saw the girl at the beginning was also that she looks like Ellie, I think it’s the mouth/lips and nose 😄 I’m really looking forward to playing as Ciri, to all those that actually know the story it makes perfect sense, I don’t care about all the negative opinions. Can’t wait!
I think Ciri will be about 35 years old, and she have grown to typical beautiful Polish girl - that's all I can say. from the perspective of a 37 year old Pole. From the perspective of Ciri's "father" (because I grew up with the Witcher books , and later with the games in Poland since I was 13 years old, long before the rest of the world found out about it) I AM FRAYED !!! Who let her pass the grass trial !!!?? Do Geralt and Yenefer know about this ??! In addition, it was because of HER that the girl is dead ("Go back to the village, to your father"). A huge mistake right from the start :( And then her sword got stuck, another huge mistake that could have cost her her life ! If it wasn't for the power of the lady of time and places, she would have been dead :[ These are the things that really concern me
@@chrisventer7284 Thanks for input, I have Witcher 3 on my PS4 but never started it yet. And at my age I'm done buying games because my back log games count is crazy, so I'll most likely never get 1 & 2. After I finish Assassin's Creed Valhalla, I'll probably take a peek at Witcher 3 on PS4.
Ciri is no longer a teenager to be put on a poster that some loser can fap to. She is a grown woman that clearly seen a lot of shhh.... I do not get any sweet baby inc vibes from this. Why the hate train everyone is getting on?? That was badass! btw - i live few tram stops from CDPR and i fckn HATE any DEI stuff. This trailer was AMAZING.
like that ciri is the new protag. always wanted that. but im a bit put off by her being an actual mutated witcher. since that breaks established lore and makes zero sense. vesemir is not around and i doubt geralt or yen would agree to it. it's very risky and ciri already has elder blood powers and saved eskel's life against caranthir. i don't want a "female geralt" i want ciri. and if they just turn her into a female geralt that'd be pretty lame. since her elder blood powers open so many possibilities seeing as they let her travel through time and space.
I'd ciri has the elder blood powers,witcher training, the trail of grasses and dreams powers, and mages powers. She is gonna be one badass person like they better make this game difficult imo
@@WhimsyPsycheit was yellow. But the effect is the main trait, not the color. So i think she used quen. Aard would push the monster back, igni would involve fire. But quen and the spell in this cutscene both acts as barrier, implying she used quen
I loved Jo Wyatt's performance as Ciri in Witcher 3. It's very early as the game is still in development, but that is not her. Hopefully it's just a scheduling issue and not that they're recasting.
i think it's fine that we played as ciri, caused geralt should be retired, ciri basically the character that have been built since the second game, I think she would be the best predecessor to geralt. all I'm trying to say is that CIRI IS THE BEST CHOICE FOR THE WITCHER 4 PROTAGONIST.
"There are no gods here. There are only monsters."
Geralt and Yen: "THAT'S OUR DAUGHTER!"
No it's not.
not really gerald would walk away ciri will end them that is the difference from what we know ciri will always choose and never let things be or take money if she isnt satisfied

Can we all just take a moment to acknowledge that she knew it was witcher the second she saw the bare legs and bathtub? 😅
I'm getting called out and it's my own fault 🤣🤣
To be fair, who else does a trailer like this lol.
I mean, The Witcher and women in bathtubs is a recurring theme. 🛀
The implied nudity helps but honestly I feel that the real ones all instantly call it's Witcher 4 on that scene more because of the colour gradient. It's a more subconscious thing but that dark but quite rich brown and maroon colouration is really distinctively associated with The Witcher.

The monster was protector, and the girl was not intended for sacifice but she probably was an adept, and future protector, monster who protected the village. In some sense she was a proto-Witcher for the area or for the portal where other monsters could enter the earth. They both die, killed by Ciri and mob. The fate of village and maybe all earth is grim. Monsters will go trough the portal.
I wish I could just sleep until this game is released.
Mood
Wasn't Aard the force push? Quen is the shield? I guess that was Quen.
The monster design is so good! And the music!
It will be so much fun playing as her again!
She used her Elder Blood powers when she zapped the monster
@@kelticsageYup. Not what I'm talking about.
Yes, that was quen
Right, quen!! Sorry! But it still doesn't look like that though? I mean, maybe they're going a different route visually, who knows!
@WhimsyPsyche Yeah, was more like while, yellow-ish. Can't think of anything else.
Guess they wanted it to be more visible, pop more. Maybe also just for the trailer.
in my opinion and it's just speculations : In the game Ciri had to pass the trial of the grass because something or someone has nerfed her ancient blood power (remerber Guys, Ciri at the end of the witcher 3 was litterlally OP (travelling through dimensions and other stuffs) and i'm so happoy about it because it shows something really good narratively speaking. She had to grind to developp her witchress abilities since she already had the knowledge.
and f**k yeah i love me a way older ciri (maybe her late 30's) to show that she has matured a lot and had gone through some really hard times !
Looks like geralt has been training her very well she learned well from her father herself not real father but is a father figure to her
what's crazy is that someone else pointed out that that girl looks like Ashley Johnson
I am so hyped for this. Very curious how Ciri ended up with mutations, but I am sure that they will explain that haha
It's such an intriguing premise for the game imo!
4:10 "fate cannot be changed.. you cannot change anything" - the monster is talking about the ritual, but Ciri is known as "fate incarnate" because of her Elder Blood.. makes me think she became a mutant in an attempt to escape her Elder Blood destiny
And then wraps herself in chains. #symbolism
I love the Witcher series. Love ciri. I expect the game to be as good as all of cdpr’s previous games. Looking forward to watching whimsy’s playthrough
Great video, loved it! 😊
guess Ciri's all grown up now :)
Baby girl is making her way through the world! =') We're so proud of her!
Well so excited can’t wait 😊🥰. Will she still has her other powers like the last one. We just have to find out when it comes out.
YES I almost wrote to you to ask if you planned to do a video about it. I'm so happy you did ❤
imm so stoked i love ciri so much
I'm so damn excited for this!
I'll always know that sword on my back, Zirael the swallow
knowing i have your playthrough of this to look forward to will have to sustain me as we wait for this game…
You're so sweet omg 😭❤️
I bet the graphics gonna be in whole new level than the last game ,since this is been made using UE5. Hope the Gameplay is gonna be all-new & improved too.
People hate it because they're stupid. "Oh, a female protagonist, must go online and spew hate now!!" Honestly, for all I care, these pathetic losers are welcome to ignore one of the greatest games to come and be miserable, and bitch and moan, while normal people and true gamers will enjoy this masterpiece.
Ciri is gonna be one of the most badass female leads in history
Hola, me paso por aquí para decir que es un trailer cinematico con el motor del juego (unreal engine 5) asi que se verá muy muy similar al gameplay final. No es un CGI es muy distinto
Ciri looks 🔥 can't wait
Excited af for this. Now to only wait.
I can’t wait to play as Ciri. A well written female protagonist that isn’t a no name rpg character! I can’t wait
Definitely my biggest announcement for me! 😭
Geralt must show up as the Gwent final boss.
the sign she used is quen
You actually called it that girl is Ashley Johnson aka Ellie 😊
Where?
@frankiebrah the girl with the headdress. The dudes daughter.
@timsloan9675 I looked up Ashley Johnson and it doesn't say she's attached to this project 🤨
@@frankiebrah they couldn't give her credits before the trailer is out to spoil it lol
@timsloan9675 oh yeah huh. Good eye amigo 🤠
That means she probably went through the training with geralt I always knew he’d get her to how she is now
I sooo want to know how it happened and all, this game is going to be incredible
Trained and raised by Geralt and Yennefer, Ciri will be more powerful and combining Witcher things with magic. And people that read the books know its just a logical choice. But those people are also complained the Series Vikings died with Ragmar not understanding that the original stories guiding that series were written like this.
I’m excited but nervous too. A lot of people bash the combat in Witcher 3 but I personally had no problems with it. I hope it holds the same combat style and open world. CDPR are masters of open worlds, I just really hope it doesn’t become super linear and essentially another God of War clone.
Thx Poland for the Witcher❤❤❤
The Witcher 4! This is going to be amazing! I am happy it's Ciri as the protagonist. The trailer was cool. It remined me of that contract in The Witcher 3 that involves with a Leshen.
So, this should be the continuation of witcher 3 ending, where ciri became a witcher, right?
Monster you see is inspired by Serbian myth and its called Bauk ^^
I think The Witcher 4 cinematic settings using GeForce RTX 5090.
if i was a super whiny baby, my only issue would be having no jo wyatt as the va. Super hyped though still, also looking forward to night reign and project century
I dont know why but seeing people cry always make me cry aswell XD
It's empathy and it's human ❤️ I'm the same!
I teared up at the lore inconsistencies
I hope they address it later on
I hope CDPR is alrigh
This is going to be amazing
They complain about how she looks. Bro, Ciri is not the sweet 19 year old anymore, she's a woman now
Cirilla Fiona Elen Riannon,Lady of Space and Time,the Lion Cub of Cintra.
Omg my first thought when I saw the girl at the beginning was also that she looks like Ellie, I think it’s the mouth/lips and nose 😄
I’m really looking forward to playing as Ciri, to all those that actually know the story it makes perfect sense, I don’t care about all the negative opinions. Can’t wait!
Right?! And the freckles too! It's uncanny!
Same ❤️ I'm so so happy about it. We all have a great game to look forward to!
same 🥲
Ciri did not have magic powers in Witcher 3 , expect for a teleport move.
So a guess hers are different in this game.
I was thinking that too, that electricity whatever thing is quite intriguing!
i am 99% sure Geralt will have some role( minor or major) to play in this game
This is the first time I've heard Bulgarian women's choir in a culturally appropriate context!
They could have at least asked Jo Wyatt to do Ciri's voice acting again, I don't really have an issue with the new look and all just the voice.
Sigh..I gotta start a whole new playthrough of Witcher 3 again aren’t I..
It's absolutely a great excuse 🤣
Thanks.
Ive only ever played witcher 2. I was a good game but its a little jank on the gameplay but I really liked the maturity of the games.
Cant believe well have a new trilogy. May be a bit morbid, but i hope i live long enough to see them all lol.
I think Ciri will be about 35 years old, and she have grown to typical beautiful Polish girl - that's all I can say. from the perspective of a 37 year old Pole. From the perspective of Ciri's "father" (because I grew up with the Witcher books , and later with the games in Poland since I was 13 years old, long before the rest of the world found out about it) I AM FRAYED !!! Who let her pass the grass trial !!!?? Do Geralt and Yenefer know about this ??!
In addition, it was because of HER that the girl is dead ("Go back to the village, to your father"). A huge mistake right from the start :( And then her sword got stuck, another huge mistake that could have cost her her life ! If it wasn't for the power of the lady of time and places, she would have been dead :[ These are the things that really concern me
It's amazing. For the next game I hope they don't dare killing Geralt in new saga. Let him chill out at corvo bianco.
He 100% deserves the retirement
I never played witcher. Am I missing anything?
YES.
and try playing from the first one. because you can import your save games to influence your next game storyline.
@@chrisventer7284 Thanks for input, I have Witcher 3 on my PS4 but never started it yet. And at my age I'm done buying games because my back log games count is crazy, so I'll most likely never get 1 & 2.
After I finish Assassin's Creed Valhalla, I'll probably take a peek at Witcher 3 on PS4.
I really wanted to play Witcher 1 but my god the controls are horrendous. Same with 2 unfortunately 😔
Play Witcher 3!!
Nope. Not true.
Ciri is no longer a teenager to be put on a poster that some loser can fap to. She is a grown woman that clearly seen a lot of shhh.... I do not get any sweet baby inc vibes from this. Why the hate train everyone is getting on?? That was badass! btw - i live few tram stops from CDPR and i fckn HATE any DEI stuff. This trailer was AMAZING.
im wait for play CIRI:)
like that ciri is the new protag. always wanted that. but im a bit put off by her being an actual mutated witcher. since that breaks established lore and makes zero sense. vesemir is not around and i doubt geralt or yen would agree to it. it's very risky and ciri already has elder blood powers and saved eskel's life against caranthir.
i don't want a "female geralt" i want ciri. and if they just turn her into a female geralt that'd be pretty lame. since her elder blood powers open so many possibilities seeing as they let her travel through time and space.
I'd ciri has the elder blood powers,witcher training, the trail of grasses and dreams powers, and mages powers. She is gonna be one badass person like they better make this game difficult imo
Im in love with this older look she has i CAN'T wait to play this
SAME
She looks very similar to Amica from a Plague Tale.
Ciri is now Thor the god of thunder😅
No she's not.
witcher woman is a witch or who how its work
@vno9462
a witcher and a witch are 2 different things (no the difference ain't the gender)
I was actually loosing my shit the second I saw the sword and armor. Then Ciri apeared and I went insane. I am so excited to play as her.
RIGHT!!
I like Ciri but if I had a choice I would rather play Geralt.
S MUCH HYPE I LOVE HER
SHE'S OUR GIRL SHE'S THE BEST 😭
Damit i got attached to that village and then that happens
She used Quen. Quen is orange in color
I remember it as yellow but I haven't played in a while, I might be wrong!!
@@WhimsyPsycheit was yellow. But the effect is the main trait, not the color. So i think she used quen. Aard would push the monster back, igni would involve fire. But quen and the spell in this cutscene both acts as barrier, implying she used quen
That makes sense for sure!!
It was igni, it was quen
it was aard, it was yrden 🎵
I am so buying this game
I loved Jo Wyatt's performance as Ciri in Witcher 3. It's very early as the game is still in development, but that is not her. Hopefully it's just a scheduling issue and not that they're recasting.
Its a new voice actor, Ciara Berkeley. CDPR confirmed it.
Well, new GWENT looks good…!!!
The only thing that bothers me is that they changed the voice actress for Ciri.
i think it's fine that we played as ciri, caused geralt should be retired, ciri basically the character that have been built since the second game, I think she would be the best predecessor to geralt. all I'm trying to say is that CIRI IS THE BEST CHOICE FOR THE WITCHER 4 PROTAGONIST.
You teared up but based on how Ciri sounds and looks, I don’t want to play a mean Mother or my Mother or anyone’s Mother!
