    Am I the only one that thinks Luocha being Otto or Void Archives is too obvious? Hoyo loves to pull unexpected things and this would be the furthest from unexpected.

    • @Whenpigfly666
      @Whenpigfly666 Рік тому +31

      Now, now. Bailu's also on the path of Abundance and she's not a criminal. Though he acts very very suspicious, I do think that the only Yaoshi related thing about him would be his amulet, which he could have found laying on the ground somewhere for all we know.
      But I wonder... What would Otto/Void Archives be doing in the Luofu ?

    • @mayamoon9207
      @mayamoon9207 Рік тому +18

      ​@@Whenpigfly666 I don't mean that every Abundance character is bad, or that Abundance is inherently bad or evil. I more so meant that lore wise he seems related to Abundance, with the whole healing Xueyi who is a puppet and the others specifically acknowledging that he's using powers from the Abundance, and since the bad things on the Luofu seem to be connected to a radical group of Abundance followers that's what stood out to me. With Bailu it seems to be more so that she's Abundance gameplay wise, but not necessarily that she's using powers of Abundance to heal in lore (hope that makes sense, I don't know how else to explain it).
      I could be interpreting it wrong of course, this is just my take on what we've seen of him so far. He very well might just be a traveling merchant like he says. Regardless I'm curious to see what his mission will reveal

      Luocha was Otto's name in Shenzhou when he brought Kallen in the coffin to find Fu Hua.
