[GI - 4.5 BETA] Chiori Animations

[HI3 - 7.4]

New character will be "Thelema" (May be Selim) as stated a few weeks ago, she will first appear in an event during 7.3. Skins this patch will be at the time for Garuda Hua and Adult Griseo.

NOTE: I want to clarify that Thelema is more so of an internal name, and she's most likely is Selim.

[GI - 4.5 LIVE]

Banners should be: Chiori & Itto, Neuvillette & Kazuha.

But as usual take who is with who with a grain of salt, especially given previous beta.

(At least for global)

Hello to the people from Blednaya channel 👋

Genshin beta is testing a new mechanism to download game files that would somewhat reduce the amount of data needed to be downloaded, like when a new patch drops.
Not sure when this will be live given how big this change is nor which games will be using this.
Sadly I don't have enough samples to say how big the difference is either yet, as it's been used only once for patching.
As far as I could investigate (because I don't know any Android testers) so far it seems to apply to the PC client/launcher.
This also should ease a bit on the unzip requirements as well. But I think this is overall a great change if implemented properly.
