In general, the story quest was good, but it's heavily brought down by the final boss fight with Arlecchino. Her against Lyney, Lynette, and Freminet makes sense. Her while holding back easily bodied all three of them and restrained them with ease, but her against Aether is what confused me. 

First off, it makes sense that she was holding back against the other three, but was she really holding back that much against Aether? Why would she use her final transformation against Aether specifically if she had to been careful not to output too much of her power to avoid her curse spreading to her heart like how she explained in Nod-Krai?

Second, Aether not using any elements is weird. He was willing to use both Anemo and Geo against Childe but not any at all against Arlecchino? I know the argument could be made that Aether did use elements and it wasn't shown in the cinematic cutscene part where he was fighting, but surely if he was using elements the entire time, he would've used at least one in the cutscene. 

Third, he somehow didn't get a single scratch on him? According to Freminet, he, Lynette, and Lyney was incredibly injured and had to be treated while Aether somehow DID NOT GET A SINGLE SCRATCH?? 

NOT EVEN JOKING, ACCORDING TO SOMEONE THAT WAS IN THE FIGHT, AETHER DID NOT GET A SINGLE SCRATCH OR INJURY??

So unless if Aether did use elements not shown in the cinematic cutscene, or Arlecchino was holding back way more then she let on when she shouldn't have been, Aether somehow beat base Arlecchino and only lost to full power Arlecchino because he was stunlocked, all while using absolutely no elements? 

I'm probably missing something... 

(p.s: I know that Freminet, Lyney, and Lynette technically helped, but considering how they could've got one tapped by base Arlecchino if she wasn't holding back, it is safe to say they was playing support for most of the time.) 

『Just finished the Arlecchino Story quest. it's overhated, but the final fight was NOT doing any favors. 』
