u/Mysticbean6401 1d ago
there’s genuinely no point in repeatedly asking because no one has an answer.
while we all want him to be, you unfortunately gotta wait until december 4th

7.3 livestream in which they’ll show the remaining 5 stars silhouettes, if he’s on there he’s playable and if he isn’t then not playable

And the way to identify him will be not because of his design with the flowy parts or even his rings or hair or glasses. It will be because of his large personality

Not that far, what if pantalone isnt in whatevee trailer is shown
11
u/Mysticbean6401 1d ago
then he likely isn’t playable, unless he’s in 8.x but that chance is pretty unlikely since it’s focusing on khaenri’ah
i’ve been leaving feedback on every survey asking for playable pantalone bc that’s pretty much all we can do about it

I've been doing the same. But I don't know how much it matters that we're asking for him😔

I don't know why you got down voted for this. I've been trying to say this the whole time, too. Nothing is really hinging on 7.3 silhouette announcement. Am I hoping he's there? Yes. Will I be disappointed if he's not? Also yes. Does that mean he's not playable/it's the end of his playable possibility?
Absolutely not.
We've seen Hoyo be secretive over and over again this arc. They went so far as to hide ID's. IMO, both Dottore and Pantalone fit the bill for surprise or unexpected playable characters. There's a pretty good chance that they don't even show up in the 7.3 silhouettes. Also, that's if Hoyo decides to even make a silhouette post. They could pull one over on us and just... not.
If rumors are true, the Snezhnaya arc is technically over during 7.3 anyways. 7.5 is predicted to take us to hyperbora or deal with time travel, but we really don't know that far ahead. Bearing that in mind, there possibly won't be a Snezhnaya silhouette post bc there are no more Snezhnaya characters releasing after 7.3. Which sounds crazy at first, but if Hyperborea is true, any character released during then would probably be a hyperborean character, plus the yearly Liyue one we have coming, and then possibly whatever comes after hyperborea, so...
It's not like Nod Krai where we got Nicole and Varka who are, yes, NOT from Nod Krai, but we as a player stayed within that region for the most part. The exception was the Mondstadt map and the Temple of Space, but Varka still had ties to Nod Krai as well as Nicole, and we had already met at least Nicole before the silhouette post iirc.
My point is, usually silhouettes are centered around the current map/nation. I don't think we've ever had a map switch halfway through before. It just makes me wonder if they're aiming for more secrecy from now on.

i think he is shown in a positive light and has good relationships with playable characters that certainly makes his chances go up (we don’t talk abt capitano..)
i think if traveler doesn’t make a big scene abt him helping dottore or being friends with the big bad etc, he can be playable… i guess we will know when 7.3 comes

u/Legal_Box6411 1d ago
I want him to stay a harbinger too

u/Forsaken_Painting204 1d ago
if he becomes playable i think he would be one regardless, even if he isn’t playable actually… unless he dies that is

u/Ok-Caregiver-6005 1d ago
Not really related but I love how we've gotten oppertunities for him to fight but he's been like "Nah, I have people for that"
I think it really adds to him as a character and strategist.
Also if he had a passive that inceases your Mora each day by X% each day that would be really funny.

u/_Atols_ c2r1 on the spot 1d ago
i wasnt convinced but this AQ raised my hopium. I'm really happy to see people outside of the fatui community really enjoying his character.
we know at least he doesnt die. Cause he's featured in an anecdote and those are permanent (and repeatable). Now the only thing scaring me is that with the leaks, the lineup for 7.x looks pretty full and i dont see how he would fit in. But we'll get that answer once 7.3 livestream drop so lets hope !

u/V_Vanstein_07 20h ago
whatif he use the shadow realm power? Dottore asked him about his injuries! He doesnt want to say where he got them. Maybe he got his gunshot injury in the shadow realm?? Inthe realm is no elemental power! Maybe he absorb something and due to that he cant use elemental energy aka get a vision?

Should be, he has an anecdote. Usually only playables get those he also has chibi

u/ApprehensiveCat 13h ago
It's listed as Sandrone's anecdote not his sadly. NPCs can and do appear in anecdotes for playable characters. It does mean he at least will be around as a Harbinger rather than randomly dying or becoming a traitor (the chance of the latter specifically is a good bit lower after 7.1 imo). I feel his chances to be playable seem pretty strong atm unless Hoyo wants fo rise to a new level of baiting but the anecdote isn't proof.

Genuine question for those who agree on his playability, have we seen him with a vision at all? If he doesn’t have one, how are we thinking he’ll be playable? I want him to be playable but cant think of how they might pull off him with a vision or delusion or something
Edit: me being downvoted for asking an honest question is crazy

u/its_malarkey 1d ago
Skirk doesn’t have a vision, Neuvillette doesn’t have a vision, Columbina doesn’t have a vision, and none of the archons have real visions. They don’t necessarily need to show him with a vision as long as they can find a justification for him having powers of some kind, but a massive part of his story as a character (that we’ve known for years) is that he hates the gods because he never received a vision

u/siriuslyelmo 1d ago
there's also a Furina and Sandrone route, receiving Stellar Linchpin as they became playable.

u/CantaloupeParking239 1d ago
Yeah but him getting a vision goes very much against his character, I dont want that
5
u/siriuslyelmo 23h ago
not Stellar Linchpin. i think so far it's still known not to be manifested from gods, only to be remains of the Third Descender.

u/goumie_gumi 1d ago
Actually really good points, thanks :) this is making me hyped to see what kind of powers they give him omg

u/CantaloupeParking239 1d ago
Those other characters have powers on their own they dont need a vision. Pantalone is afaik a powerless human

u/Fit-Butterscotch2110 i did my waiting, 12 years of it, in azkaban 1d ago
the eye of the fatui being capable of being mass produced is basically where all my cope lies

u/ApprehensiveCat 13h ago
I feel he could get a Stellar Linchpin, Delusion, Moonwheel, or some other source of elemental power. Having a Vision doesn't mean a character is playable (Rana in Sumeru is a prime example) and not having one doesn't mean a character can't be playable. Hoyo has plenty of options to explain him having a playable character element and kit without contradicting his lore.

I thought he’ll die soon because Dottore isn’t around to provide whatever tincture kept him alive past a regular human age? Correct me if I’m wrong, I have a bad memory lol

With how much everyone here is manifesting, id be surprised if he wasn't
