Guild Wars 2

Clearly, they’re not playing the bells they’re holding, since the music continues after they walk away…

But even more importantly… what’s with the human male who in the middle of the song yells “FOUR!” in a robot sounding voice?

Clearly, they’re actually Watchknights in disguise.

I agree with both of you. They’re certainly strange.

Maybe it’s a joke about players accidentally map chatting their skill names while mouse-clicking them?

I like the Festive Citizens!

If you listen carefully, the song they play is “The Great Toymaker”, the 5th round song in the bell choir game – my favorite one of all of them!

As for the “ONE”, “TWO”, “THREE”, “FOUR” they yell before starting their music (it’s random which one they pick to yell), I believe it has to do with the way a conductor directs musicians in an orchestra and 4/4 time signature.

Keep being festive, little NPC guys!
