Is Columbina bland, or brilliant, or something in between?
Nod Krai review: youtube.com/watch?v=zF9QUaXCO1o&list=PL9ZYbPkYPaHPKf8VMpUmv3FwURBFoFJem
At first, she was a haunting presence in arguably the most iconic trailer or teaser since the launch of Genshin, a moment which remains unsurpassed to this day.
By the time she appeared in-game, those years of speculation had built a tower of expectations. A handful of voice lines, a single trailer, and a lot of extrapolation had led people to conjure up an image of who she was supposed to be: something which truly stood out from the rest of what the game had given us.
So when her reality turned out to be something quieter, softer, and more emotional, the response was rather mixed.
