We will soon have the datamine for the next version, do you have any expectations for 7.2 regarding Capitano?

With the latest leak, I’m starting to feel a bit more confident again. But how are we feeling about Mare Jivari in 7.4? Do you think Capitano will be playable, or will he just get up from the throne? I’m still not over the whole Enjou being playable thing…

Guys, I don’t want to doompost, but is there still a way for Capitano to make it? I really need some reassurance. I feel like every time we get closer to his resurrection, Hoyo hits us with another massive roadblock.

First, there’s Mistilteinn, a weapon belonging to Thrainn, and now we’re realizing it might not even be for him after all. Then there’s this new leak about Enjou’s playability, and he’s clearly connected to the Mare Jivari, which seems like it will be heavily focused on him. And honestly, I’m having a really hard time believing Capitano will fit into that storyline, because every time we get a major focus, there’s always a key character attached to it.
So what do we have left? The Pyro Gnosis? Which will probably be taken by the Tsaritsa, or Hoyo will pull some random plot twist out of nowhere to make sure Capitano isn’t involved.
Honestly, I’m exhausted. I’ve been waiting for his return since 5.3, but at this point I’m starting to hit rock bottom. Sorry for the doompost again, but I really needed to get this off my chest.

Having just finished the 7.0 Archon quests, I find it really funny how obvious some of the Capitano and Dottore resurrection foreshadowing was (at least in my opinion).

During the act 2 quest, in which we find ourselves trapped inside the murder mystery in the theater, two deaths in particular stuck out to me: Valeriy and Mitya.

Valeriy seemed to be an obvious parallel to Capitano, being the only person to die while sitting in a chair (everyone else was on the ground/floor), in basically the same position as Capitano. This is also on top of him being a Fatui-aligned military leader. His death also involved him giving up his life (as "Mr. Door") in exchange for the protection of the Traveler and Chugunov. This is similar to how Capitano used his life in exchange for Mavuika's.

But on to Mitya. His situation is almost an exact parallel of Dottore's, including three "deaths" that were highlighted in the story. Mitya's first "death" was one week before the incident in the theater. Similar to the original Zandik's death, his body was found by an unrelated passerby (Pantalone in Zandik's case and Odette in Mitya's). Mitya's second "death" was when he wandered out into the snowstorm. But obviously, this wasn't a real death - just as Moonttore's defeat in Nod-Krai wasn't a true death either (being only one part of Dottore's soul). Mitya's third and final "death" was in the armory, on the brink of completing his greatest experiment. Very similar to Datattore. I also found it interesting that Mitya called himself a "heretic" at one point.

I really, truly do not think that Hoyo would put in these glaring parallels and NOT do anything with them. Why would resurrection be such a huge point of act 2 in particular if they're not going to do anything with it?

Sorry for how rambling and incoherent this might sound. I'm running on no sleep on account of binging the quests lmao.

We can agree that today’s preload confirms that Simulanka is real, right? Now the question is, if he comes back, will he be Thrainn or Capitano?
