There is a non 0% chance that we hear Nightglow in the upcoming patch
I was thinking about this while watching the recent trailers.
Obviously, the upcoming patch is going to focus HEAVILY on Himeko, the backstory for Himeko as we know her, and the ultimate fate of the Himekos in HSR.
Obviously, Hoyo knows the impact (heh) of that particular scene in 3rd, and the attachment of the fans to the character. They also know that song is a huge part of that, hell even the recent trailer seems to mimic a few notes at one point.
Point is, Hoyo knows that song would make the fanbase go FERAL, especially if played at a partially climactic moment. Wouldn't even need to be the full song, just the piano would likely result in screaming and tears.
We know that Wolfie got a snippet of Bronya's cyber angel theme as part of her skill, so they definitely aren't opposed to using music from other titles as a reference/Easter egg.
Personally, I think theres a solid chance we hear a snippet of Nightglow, and played at the right moment I doubt there'll be a dry eye in the room.
What do you guys think? Would you even want to hear it or would it be too much fanservice?
