My hopes for Fontaine
As Sumeru's main story is over and we start looking forward to Fontaine, I wanted to share my hopes for it because I have Genshin brainrot and nowhere to put it.
Up to this point, there has been a notable villain progression, first starting with Signora in Mondstadt as our introduction to the Fatui, Childe in Liyue as our first Fatui boss fight, also notable that he's the lowest Harbringer. Then in Inazuma, we jump to 8th with Signora, while also introducing Scaramouche, and finally he's the Sumeru's boss at No. 6.
This introduces a unique problem, because as of now, our progression has always been going up the ranks, but now the ones who are left above 6 are Pierro, Dottore, Columbina, Capitano, and Pulcinella, with the only real possibilities being between Dottore and Columbina.
While Dottore was introduced in the previous chapter, I have a feeling Columbina will be featured in Fontaine, to honestly mix things up a little. And my hope is that we do fight against her, but we are horribly outmatched. This would allow us to dip that curve of progression and we can come back around for Capitano in Natlan (because I feel like he's no. 4). But I am not saying that Columbina will be the main antagonist of the arc, she would mostly serve as a taste of how powerful the top 3 are.
The real main antagonist of Fontaine I believe will be Sandrone.
Sandrone:
With the other Harbingers, they have been kinda dark mirrors of the associated regions (except Childe).
Mondstadt's Signora, Inazuma's Scaramouche, and Sumeru's Dottore, and with how Steampunk-inspired Fontaine seems to be, I believe Sandrone will be associated with Fontaine. This is probably not a new breakthrough.
But a key hope I have isn't her being a physically powerful enemy, but being an intellectual one. Because her, Pantalone, Pulcinella, and Arlecchino's strengths aren't likely in raw power, but tactics, so I would like an antagonist that is able to challenge the Traveler on a mental and philosophical level (and also us being able to follow along). She also serves as the Fatui's spymaster through being the head of the Adventurer's Guild, so she could have some knowledge that she could hold over us. She could also just threaten to remove our status as an Adventurer, so no more daily commissions, which would definitely spur the players into playing along. All these reasons why is why I don't think we can just "duke it out" with her.
Another hope I have for Sandrone is that, in some way, she has a point. That Fontaine isn't operating in a good way, and things aren't as black and white as they seem. Like, there are lots of threads to play with, the idea of Justice, the Oceanid's exile, possible smoke or light pollution because one Fontaine character said they could see the stars back home, so the effects of industrialization. We'll have to see.
Other things:
On the Traveler's side of the story of finding their sibling, I just want better, clearer writing because I went through the Chasm story, not really engaged, and I feel like the Abyss plot lacks the personalities of the Fatui, so people like the Harbingers better. I've consumed interesting theories of what's going on, and I just wish that was more pronounced, which would also give the Traveler more character.
If nothing else, give Sandrone a BITCHIN airship. That would be great.
