It's the very reason why right after the "Witcher? WITCHER!" guy, camera moved for a second to the father moving his head down so showing he's guilty of hiring the witcher. Before that the father said it was his only choice, kissing her forehead and reading his letter to the daughter. All that should point out he was forced by other people and tried to stop that with a witcher so they wouldn't know it's him against them because he knew the moment they knew it they will kill his daughter and so they did. You can be sure Cirilla killed these killers, especially the loud one. This trailer is intended to reference W3 first cinematic trailer.
I really enjoy Witcher and other stories that tap into less commonly known mythology and folklore. There's so many awesome stories and creations out there that are underappreciated!
5:54 "save the village" -the monster said like what the Sacrificial woman said and when the monster is slain by Ciri,the girl died too. Like the monster and the sacrificial girl was one! Did you notice that???
In the books Ciri claims for herself the medallion with the cat...but since Cat School witchers are not exactly....well reputable (many of them being psychotic killers, many turning to become hired assassins, spies, reverting to robbery and that sort of thing) so the Cat school sign would be probably not well received..and the general reputation of the witchers fell due to the actions of the Cat witchers...so a lynx might be something of an attempt at reworking the medallion...or sing of some entirely new school....the games invent a lot that were never even hinted at in the books :). And yeah it seems she really undergoes the Trial of the Grasses and mutation process...or something similar to have those eyes and so on.Though I thinking that she must have done it without Geralt's or Yennefer's knowing because otherwise they would be fervently opposed to that due to high risk involved....:) the trials in most cases end up in deaths and survival rate is low....3 out of 10 survive...but again...Ciri is the Child of Destiny....she might be so special she would always survive the trials....though as the witchers in books believed a true child of destiny would not even require them :). Though one thing....her having a witcher eyes...shame of her natural emerald green ones ;)...eyes of Lara Dorren hehe.
They better have a good explanation on how did she go through the trials. The trials are given to children in order for them to mutate while growing up the mutations don't happen overnight, she's already an adult so how? And please please CDPR don't make her into a Mary Sue.
It is not that hard to explain. Her connection to the elder blood makes any of that possible. The only reason they stopped experimenting on women is because they all died early on, but she has the elder blood. Plus we've seen multiple times where original mutations were altered/changed and/or used by people in previous games. The Cat School is well known for doing this in general (screwing around with mutations). Moreau did further alternations in Blood and Wine, and Yennifer herself was the first mage to complete the Trial of Grasses, and so she probably took Alzur's mutations experimenting and altering them further. We always knew Geralt's story ended with 3. Ciri was always going to take over for Witcher 4, it's just the obvious progression, and I'm sure like Ciri played a smaller but pivotal role previously, that's likely Geralt's role this time. i just hope they do the transition well (and like you said, don't turn her into a Mary Sue). Though the way she struggled with the beast in the cinematic leaves me hopeful, as she wasn't shown as ridiculously OP, just badass.
@@darkwyve Yes but I was not expecting her to have mutations, I was expecting a time travelling sword fighter. That said I got the Empress ending i feel like that's the best ending but that's just my opinion, I will never forget it I ugly cried the whole time.
@@cheremiegerundio8624 Most would assume that must not be the canon ending due to this, but forget that witchers (and those with elder blood) live a long time. There's always the possibility that occurred, and decades later then passes the mantle to another. Would also allow for decades of experimentation on those mutations by Yennifer and others, allowing for new variations on mutations and such too. Lots they can do with the lore, and I'm interested and at least hopeful for a good direction. I have a feeling we are still many years off before we have anything more than speculation though and I'm okay with that, because unlike tons of other people, I don't build a magical version of something in my head, just so I can be disappointed when it comes out and isn't exactly that. I'll remain open minded.
Read "A question of price". Geralt says it straight-up: to vecome a witcher, one must be born in the shadow of destiny. It is literally Ciri's destiny to be a witcher. Geralt invoked the Law of Surprise, and destiny pointed to Ciri. Twice. Her surviving the trial of the grasses was a foregone conclusion. Plus, the lore doesn't say that women can't be witchers. On the contrary - the old Polish tv series features female witchers, and Sapkowski okayed it. The tabletop rpg released at the same time (in 2001) mentions School of the Cat training the occasional female.
@@cheremiegerundio8624 I think we'll find that the Elder Blood magic is gone (due to stopping the white frost?) and that maybe she needed to undergo the mutations to actually be legit as a witcher (reflexes and such), plus whatever sorcery/ magic she learned with Yen's help.
The father paid the witcher to save his daughter, he was beaten by the other villagers when he tried to defend her and that’s why he was crying? Why would he cry if he wanted her dead?
The father is the one who payed for Ciri to slay the montser. Which is why is face was bloody bc he tried to stop them from killing his daughter.

@@LukiKruki Great catch.
The monster is a Bauk, it comes from serbian folklore.

@@trappi9098 read and understand
I'm so stoked for this. It's disappointing that this trailer has caused as much discourse as it has in the community. It's completely unwarranted
You have make feel so welcomed,you are one of the most genuine people I know ☺️ 😌 🤗 😊
the editing is chef's kiss you are on a roll keep slaying
I gotta try reading these books again!
OMG OMG amazing video!!
Shes wearing the school of the Lynx medaillon does that mean she found a way to undergo trials?
She has Witcher eyes, so it seems so.
The devs have confirmed that she has underwent the trials. And will most likely see her go through them in the game.

She literally drank a potion.
No regular human can do that.
I guess her Elder blood must have been enough to get her through
