It's seems that ever since Vivian, ZZZ has been introducing a girl whose a chunk of her character is 'oh proxie, all my life I've been suffering but ever since I met you, I can finally be happy', it happened to Yidhari and now Xiao'Guang, they even sneaked that shit with Alice despite all the teasing they did between her and Yuzuha

anyway, imagine Belle fucking the labubu

Yikes, knew it would be cringe but this was next level cringe.

Oh hey what coincidence, I also decided to finally buy all the dumb accessories cause I heard something about the shop changing and put them on

I'm honestly surprised ZZZ gets discussed here with how regularly Belle gets treated like shit.

Belle's got plenty of moments. But you knew ***that*** was coming with YSG as part of her desperate shilling. You knew that and should have never expected differently.

>>4510069
You know they are having sex

>>4510066
Alice's constellation legit translates to her having feelings for the Proxy. Also the game has shipped tease before Vivian. We had Astra, Ellen, Jane Doe, and Miyabi teased as well.

To be fair, this last batch of trailers has by far been the worst Belle has been treated by either marketing or the game itself. The Astra trailer and its subsequent references in game, while not ideal, at least still made sense with Belle as the primary Proxy, and despite being the previous biggest MC simp, Vivian's marketing didn't feature either of the siblings directly IIRC (save for the swimsuit one which did show Belle's hand). Even as recently as Yidhari, her Proxy-focused marketing starred Belle.
In contrast, YSG marketing has been nothing but Wise. This last trailer put to rest any coping about muh silhouettes or "but they're both in the trailer." You know that whole date event? Guess it was actually Wise who did all of that all along! Wise is the only one she dreams about, the one she's scared of forgetting the most, while Belle doesn't make one singular appearance, not even a cameo. There's no amount of justification that could make this make sense from a Belle player's perspective unless you don't take marketing as canon despite precedent otherwise, making this specific set of trailers the exception. I just don't get it; would a million Chinese and SEA incels not pull for the most waifubait character yet if a trailer showed Belle got anywhere close to her. Of course in-game she'll be all over Belle, but that doesn't quite wash the sour taste of these trailers out of my mouth. What a fucking joke. I miss the halcyon days of AstraLyn.

Yidhari was definitely shipped with Belle more. Honestly I think its one of those things where unfortunately Hoyo picks the more meta/story focused character to be paired with the male MC in the marketing to balance out all the female MC marketing. Stelle got Hysilens, Evernight, and Castorice so Caelus gets the super waifu character Cyrene. Belle got Yidhari, got to flirt with Jane, and saved by Zhu Yuan. Now Hoyo believes they need to balance things out not realizing Wise/Caelus already get way more than the females do.

Wasn't Astra patient 0 of them making more waifubait trailers that appeased Wise players over Belle? Her and Caesar were two of the earliest samples. Her movie date at least makes her like both proxies.

>>4510356
I'm not sure there can be a "patient zero" in either of the two newer released games when they were already sorta pulling this shit with Lumine and whatever the brother's name was.

>>4510358
ZZZ definitely started off with a different flavor before pivoting to what it is today.
So Astra being patient zero makes sense.

>>4510319
>We had Astra, Ellen, Jane Doe, and Miyabi teased as well.
At least those had personalities and lives that didnt just obsess over the proxie

>>4510319
The Alice thing is so weird since outside that one scene in the resort event, they dont tease she has a thing for phaeton and 99% of her interactions are with Yuzuha

>>4510356
Caesar was always het, yes, but at least it's part of her character since she's obsessed with shoujo romance manga, thus making sense that she would act differently around Wise than Belle. Even with Astra's Wise-focused trailer you could say that she always liked both siblings equally (contra Vivian who is specifically only obsessed with the primary Proxy). Astra taking Wise out one time didn't invalidate Belle being the main character otherwise.
In contrast, the the latest YSG trailer shows flashbacks to the in-game date event and only shows Wise, which creates an issue since it's been pretty well established that the trailers are canon (off the top of my head both the Astra and Wise and Yixuan vs. Miyabi trailers were specifically referenced in game as having occurred). These trailers break precedent since they cannot be canon for both Proxies, all just to shill a character that was going to sell anyway.

>tech "otakus" save the world
i just wish they didn't treat belle like an obvious afterthought
