Albedo: Moment of birth
Klee: Moment of *D E A T H*

This trailer is super underrated. I don’t think ANY trailer has been such a clean blending of gameplay, and actually a lot of insight into the character of albedo. This gives you a great sense of who he is as a person. I love that.

Is no one gonna talk about how confused that butterfly must be suddenly turning into a freaking bird

Just realised how, after 2.3, The Failed Albedo is most probably the "Soil" and the left one at 1:40 while Albedo is the Chalk, obviously, on the right. There was already hints about it all this time and It's only now did we truly understand why Soil and Chalk is specifically in the description and being described the way they are and separately.

Not to mention, the way the left Albedo has his eyes open and the right Albedo has his eyes closed, already symbolising of the first watching him from afar—and perhaps maybe even knowing the truth of the world that Albedo can't see? Who knows

"Soil — the origin of alchemy, the basis of all life." : The Failed Albedo being the first prototype and the image Gold, the ones who made them, based the next few(?) prototypes on.

"Chalk — the blank canvas, on which to paint life..." : The Successful Albedo being the "Success" Gold wanted him to be and to learn more about the world (the truth, the meaning) that his brothers couldn't (from the cinnabar spindle lore).


Would never have seen that coming ngl but it's such a pleasant surprise when mhy had already given hints and it's only now being uncovered.

OKAY, WHY IS NOBODY TALKING ABOUT HOW FRIGGIN' BEAUTIFUL HIS EYES ARE?!

[killuazoldyck]

You'd think he was a Pyro user after burning Timaeus like that

[redx]

Whoever is making these trailers needs a raise.

[sideswipeleague]

someone realised exactly at the 1:40 mark a screen comes up saying from soil was birthed chalk and a pitcure of 2 albedos looking at each other. MIHOYO BE FORESHADOWING

[chuajingyong]

*Klee:* Having the best time of her life whenever it's Albedo's turn to babysit her

[Vekcrazah]

Is no one going to talk about his casual burn on Timaeus, saying he needs 20 more years to reach Sucrose's level? Jeez Albedo

[TurnMeOffPlease]

Albedo: Let me create something

Klee: Let me destroy something

[nyanmaru]

This trailer already foreshadowing about this patch event quest at 1:40. There is actually 2 Albedo, 1 made from Soil, the other made from Chalk. The Albedo we knew was the one made by Chalk (Chalk Prince). Whopperflower Albedo was probably created by Soil Albedo to dispose Chalk Albedo (Theory from catwithabluehat).

"From soil was birthed chalk" might implied that Chalk Albedo was Rhinedottir's second attempt at making homunculus and as chalk is consider pure than soil, Chalk Albedo is the better version.

Edward Elric got tired of being called short so he built himself an elevator

It's official Geo characters are the prettiest

Klee: Appears in Albedo's trailer
Sucrose: Cries in anemo

[samuelvasans]

About a year later the two Albedos at 1:39-1:40 makes sense

[mimamo]

Everyone is right now flocking to the Raiden and Zhongli trailers, arguing which is best, but this one is an underrated gem too.

Hu Tao: Butterflies want to become seelies when they grow up!
Albedo: *turns butterfly into a bird*
Butterfly:

[ketashi]

1:29
Butterfly: “Ah, what a fine day for pollinati- I’m a bird now.”

"from soil was birthed chalk" after the new event, everything makes sense now. Mihoyo truly foreshadowing since Albedo's demo, damn good job
