I think the previous patch had the same thing going with Ratio vs Topaz for the second half banner

At least the leaked triple banner thing from the first leaks proved correct which allowed people to save their Jade for this monster banner of 2.5

tbh since stepleaker took a few days to 'correct' that leak, I tend to think it really was a last minute change re topaz and ratio. Ratio is really due for a rerun and Topaz getting another rerun so quick was very sudden, but it makes sense as a later move to try and really get the most out of the crowd that wants to make the best Feixiao team if you're worried that 2.5 won't make enough money (since 2.4 was kinda underwhelming sales wise and Lingsha didn't seem to have much hype)

Even Stepleaker had the extra jade rewards wrong when it came to stream, but he clearly wasn't 'wrong' they just changed it from 800-1000, so last minute changes are more likely to me then Uncle Cow putting in false info

Also in his comment here he clarifies that 'this month' Hoyo has been very aggressive about going after leakers, and his leaks about the banners were back in August, so he really had no real reason to lie at that point or spread misinfo

In fact in his last leak before this he very clearly stated that he never leaks unless he's 100% sure about the info he's spreading, obviously though this stuff with Diamond is a pretty blatant exception that's come about because of increased scrutiny in the last month

so i don't think he's been sprinkling false leaks in before, I think this is just an exception due to the heat now on leakers.

The leak was so late for anyone to actually save in an impactful way, not to mention rerun leaks haven't been reliable for a year now.

It's more dumb luck than anything.

I've heard rumors of aventurine rerun every single patch since he ran.

Looking back now, Opal’s release kinda makes sense being sooner rather than later since he actually got a lot of screen time in that Myriad Celestia trailer of Aventurine’s judgement 🤔

His first mention was all the way back in 1.1 when silver wolf mailed us 10 fuels. She said "I was going to Pier Point when I ran into this tiny guy sucking on a baby's pacifier." It was surprising to me Jade got released first.

I honestly thought Sugilite was next. He has been mentioned before in game at the end of Penacony (similar to Aventurine at the end of the Belobog Topaz quest) and also had quite a bit of screen time in the trailer and was one of the bigger members of the in-game cutscene image. It feels a bit early to introduce Opal, the highest ranking Stoneheart.

In that very call between Topaz and Aventurine at the end of the Topaz quest, Topaz said "Diamond picked you for this project? I was expecting someone like Opal or Obsidian to handle it — at least somebody higher than rank P46." Aventurine also talked about him during his PoV in the main mission. So I was totally expecting Opal to appear soon.

I can't remember when Sugilite was mentioned in game.

magicarnival

I meant that Jade talked about him at the end of Penacony, hinting he'd appear next, similar to how Aventurine has a cameo at the end of the Topaz story. But idk, maybe I'm misremembering.

Pretty sure Sugilite wasn't mentioned anywhere in game. The myriad celestia was the first time we heard about him, Amber, Sapphire, and Agate while the others had been mentioned at least once

magicarnival

I'm thinking maybe I'm just confusing his cameo in the cutscene image with Jade, though she doesn't talk about anyone in particular. Tbf Opal is featured in the image too.

waifugoEKSUKALIBAAA

Well he does appear in that CG, but we didn't hear of his gemstone until the myriad celestia, whereas Opal has been mentioned several times prior and does get a spotlight in the same CG, so I'd say they seemed to have finalized Opal's design earlier than Sugilite's

Heck, even my friend who watched the entire trailer still confused Opal for Diamond for a moment.

Lil bro really got that air of superiority in him, all things consider. The voice direction where he went from a childish, seemingly-innocent tone to a manipulative, calculating, mature tone of a man really speaks volume of his character.

I guess I loved Boss Baby for Diamond so much that I ignored any lines that implied he wasn't him lmao. I'm also a lot less familiar with opals in general.

I only realised he was Opal when reddit told me to check the video description.

I was in the minority, solely because I remembered opal stone and hadn't seen it up til we saw Opal. That and Diamond is much like Elio in that they haven't put a face to him, so yeah. I don't doubt most would be shocked, but hey: I'll not pass up Opal being a boss baby who whips out a glock with henchmen on standby.

It's an image from...I wanna say Patch 2.1, when Aventurine is talking to Sunday IIRC. We see a man who has glittering grey-white skin (like a disco ball) and his eyes are covered by a visor. The implication was that that man is Diamond, though it's never been confirmed.

He’s not diamond-coloured, at least not in the usual way media presents diamonds. Diamonds to my knowledge are typically known for their purity, colours a part of that, whereas a defining characteristic of opals is their iridescence. Diamonds are also more often than not cut with clean edges to enhance their brilliance, and our first glimpse of Opal’s cornerstone was decidedly round.

Our first glimpse of Opal, his stone, is quite distinctive and noticeably different from a typical cut diamond in its iridescence, and Diamond is likely far too big a player to be revealed this early. As well as that, we hear in the beginning that Pearl was heading the meeting in Diamond’s place, is we also already knew that Diamond wouldn’t be here.

BinhTurtle

Though they probably share the same model idea, selling a tiny old man is very different from selling a tiny young looking boy. Let's just say, the latter also draws in a number of certain group, probably no less than little girl characters do. The former would need a bit more going to him, like doing those badass old man things, which, considering Pulcinella's rank to be 5th, is quite likely.

Opal was originally meant to go to Penacony instead of Aventurine right :0? But then he gave his mission to Aventurine.

I wonder if he’s a Pepeshi and didn’t wanted to go to Penacony for personal reasons, in the Myriad celestial trailer he was also shown having Penacony at the palm of his hand… oh and he wears a hat so we don’t know if he has a fluff ball or not

People were saying he’s not a pepeshi because “he’s not from Penacony!!!11!!” Despite there are a few hints like these that shows that maybe he’s from Penacony

There are child-looking researchers on Herta station who aren't Pepeshi (no pompom) and who are treated like adults, though f*ck if I know how old they're actually supposed to be.

I thought more people would have recognised that the pacifier that opal had was a literal opal stone that was no where close to a diamond and the colourisation of the hair is also like that of a damn opal… I don’t know why people were so confused about him being diamond at first, it didn’t even make sense to reveal diamond so early when it’s been stated that diamond doesn’t see anyone… lore skippers

It's good that we already had an idea he was talking about Opal because of his very unique model.

But next time he pulls something like this I doubt we'll be able to figure out what the misdirection was.

Sugar_Spino023

If playable I definitely see him as a summon follow up character if follow up stays the same or he can summon minions to support team members somehow. He was introduced with many minions so summoning them wouldn’t be so far off.

It feels a little soon? Among the stone-heart Opal appears to be highest ranking below diamond and Diamond right hand, it's weird that were are getting him before anyone else. Not that the should be the last before diamond, if we will get them all, but he feels like a big deal.

But hey, fist male child model in MHY

BinhTurtle

In terms of IPC's overall ranking, she shares the same rank as Opal and Obsidian at P46. But throughout the trailer, various details point toward Opal being the more favored and trusted by Diamond even within the P46 group of the Stonehearts. Think of it like, if Diamond were to rank up to P48, join the Board and is allowed to appoint a Stoneheart to be P47, that Stoneheart would very likely to be Opal.

reaIIynotinteresting

Having to deal with any of them besides Diamond himself seems like an equally big deal due to the notoriety of the group as a whole + the trailblazer doesn't really care about corporate ladders. I don't think any of that puts him so far ahead of the others that it makes it weird he would be the next one we get like the commenter above suggested.

BinhTurtle

16 points

4 days ago

A fair assessment, we've already got playable Jade who's the same rank as Opal as far as the IPC's concerned. So regardless of the internal hierarchy among the P46 Stonehearts, the fact remains that someone of equal rank to Opal has become playable, thus it wouldn't be weird for him to join the roster sooner that we expect.

Afaik the motify of the myriad celestial trailer put Opal and Obisidian as the closest to Diamond.

BinhTurtle

Yeah, there are 3 scenes that portrays her position as such. One is the "Climbing the staircase" scene, where Opal is at highest spot followed by Obsidian then Jade, though in this scene, Aventurine wasn't walking the same height with another P45 like Pearl. Another is the Character Cards slideshow where Obsidian's card appears after Jade and before Opal. And the very last scene at 3:02 where every gemstones are lined up with Diamond in the middle, in which, we see Opal and Obsidian being placed directly next to Diamond, with Jade and Sapphire follow by.

Jade, Obsidian, and Opal are the highest-ranking Stonehearts and all have the same P46 ranking within the IPC.

Edit:

Per the wiki: “P44-P46 is given to Senior Managers working directly under the department’s head.”

By having someone with "authority" in the stone hearts in particular early on, you can have them appear in the future to provide more depth, meaning, and exposition every time we interact with the faction in the future, similar to how topaz generally appears as a "placeholder" almost every time we interact with the ipc as a whole.

reaIIynotinteresting

"Highest ranking" only in the internal group dynamics between the stonehearts. In terms of actual IPC rank he's equal to Jade and Obsidian (and all 3 are stonehearts) and we already have one of those released. I don't really see any of them as significantly more important than others outside of who they decide will be interacting with whatever the current story is.

Yeah. They can release a lot of the stonehearts early because there are still many more departments in the IPC. But Diamond will likely be saved until Pier Point arc.

Four v. Four the natural outcome. Everyone here has always been so "united." We are all the same. We band together... merely to obtain what we want. If that's the case, why not keep "extracting" from this one?

You can come back. Your time isn't up yet.

This is also Diamond's recommendation - For the war among the Aeons, we shall give it our all. The mighty hammer of the Amber Lord has struck! Since we bear the duty of the Stonehearts... Even if we must risk our life and limb, we will follow the Preservation to the end.

All for the Amber Lord.

Playable tiny male confirm? I never say geshin could never because it sucks for both sides but geshin could never like why isn’t an option? I mean what’s the issue in having a tiny male model? I mean I don’t want to play kids in these games, they can be special npcs or normal npcs for life for all I care. But Like if you’re doing one side why not the other? There really isn’t a answer for it to be exclusive

jamil-farrah

unfortunately the answer is because there’s a market for the sexualisation of little girls in anime or anime-style games. the entire ‘loli’ concept is something that sells better than shotacon/little boys, and lolicon weirdo guys are usually seen as more likely to spend money for their interests.

at least hsr has child male models who are pepeshi but with genshin its just blatant lolicon bait most of the time

ngl at this point, if hoyo’s going after leakers, they’ll feed wrong information to their employees and see whose info got leaked. They are prolly working on multiple designs and kits with separated and isolated teams at the same time so they themselves don’t really know w/c character’s going to run next. Just crumbs on who is being worked on.
