okay hear me out

i feel like i do a lot of doomposting but hoyo keeps sending mixed signals & i just want this man playable,

but is anyone else nervous that the animated short was like a tribute post for Capitano & was like a goodbye type of post, especially with the song being played. i get the title says ‘memories of this life’ which i am HOPING means he gets another chance at life but the description in the video is putting me off, as in a way to say he won’t be returning. there was also nothing new in the video, it was just about his time in Natlan & didn’t show us him fighting 500 years ago or didn’t show us him with the Fatui or any other time of his life besides for when he was in Natlan, specifically when he did his sacrifice.

Also it does make me laugh how different each platform reacts, on youtube majority of the comments say ‘rest in peace’ blah blah, but if you go on twitter & reddit most people are screaming for his return.

i do truly hope this animated short means he will be playable or hinting at his playability, especially since hoyo has never done this much marketing for an NPC. although, capitano didn’t get a lot of screen time in the AQ so i hope this is not them compensating for that.
