      And let's not get started with the way hoyo(Genshin devs) gives 5* to characters that aren't in the main story, filler story, weak or random(Sigewine, klee, chiori, emile, mizuki, qiqi)
      And 4* that should have been a 5* :
      ⚪The governor of Liyue "Ningguang"
      ⚪Fatui with a rough past and trained by arlechinno "Lynette"
      ⚪A general of the Watatsumi Army "Gorou"
      ⚪One of the 5 heroes of natlan "Ororon"

    Depends on what you consider success, hoyo shills will say success is money and popularity, they refuse to acknowledge that real success is making a product your client enjoy to the fullest.

    I think Kuro actually started cooking on their trailers with Jiyan, because it shows a part of the actual first few acts of the game. It shows that, like in the game, Jiyan has a struggle with being given the title of general BECAUSE of Geshu Lin. The two have a fight that you could see as more than just a flashy fight, it could be an interesting struggle between Jiyan’s role as the general because it seems like sometimes Jiyan doesn’t think he’s good enough, that even if he does his best, soldiers still fall in battle regardless if that’s what he wants or not. And the Retroact Rain adds to that in the Jiyan trailer as fallen soldiers are both crying out to him and confiding their strength in Jiyan.
    Even though he’s the first character, Jiyan’s trailer left such an impact on, in a sense, his struggle as a simple combat medic that jumped straight into the position of general. His role first and foremost is to protect people, which clashes with being a general because there are wars and conflicts that demand sacrifice.
    That’s how I see it anyways

    WuWa, ZZZ, and now Genshin are now shifting to using more cinematics and little to no gameplay in their 5 star character trailers. If you ask me, though, there’s something magical about being able to combine gameplay and story in a trailer format to wholly sell a character. It’s why Shorekeeper remains my favorite WuWa trailer to this day. The trailer acts as her character arc, starting from nothing before finding her purpose thanks to Rover, which is then capped off with her gameplay to show her newfound determination to fight.

    This video is riddled with biases. If you were being fair and honest with your critique of Genshin, you know that character teasers and previews achieve that context for the "who, what where, and why" for a great deal of characters. It's certinly not rare as every premire 5* gets one. I'm sure for like the 3 or 4 characters you mentioned for you can find trailers that match what your looking for. I know it's popular to talk about how genshin sucks but let not make dishonest criticisms. I get it you really like wuwa. Just started after the release on PS5 and I'm enjoying myself too.

    Last time I watched a character trailer for a hoyo game was zhong li, they are just cringe. They literally hide character's backstory into random youtube videos, instead of, you know, putting it into the game. Oh right, mihoyo games can only do black screen white text. Meanwhile they spend MILLIONS on trailers, and commission new songs from famous musicians. But character quests have generic music. Not to mention characters doing all kinds of acrovatics in trailers, meanwhile in gameplay... we all know how boring genshin gameplay is, not to mention hsr or zzz.
    On the other hand, ever since shorekeeper trailer I've been watching all of wuwa's ones (older ones are hoyo style and not very good, I also don't play pgr so I can't comment for those). I also love how they separated the gameplay from the trailers to allow full freedom for the director, writer and storyboarder, but they still keep the action part in line with how the character plays.

    I think there's nothing to talk about here. Genshin lost players interest in trailers and many quit the game as it was almost time(3-4years). I don't think Carlotta trailer was the best, it looked a mix of Arlecchino and Carlotta personality. Simple fact is that Genshin time is gone. Unless they release some better character and playstyle and hype it for what it is with much better story than last year, they won't get more attention. Carlotta got attention for her dps value and her style. And even her resonance are awesome. So she got the right kind of hype. I hope WuWv does not buy CC's.
