Liyue is coming next!! As soon as I can schedule and gather everyone around the holidays, I’ll get working on it! Pls look forward to it until then and tysm for the support! ✨
After seeing this video I immediately subscribed. Also as a suggestion have hints relating to the characters names Hidden meanings behind names of something Xiao means in Chinese dawn; little; revenant.
@@TheReaIestOne I actually chose Monstadt only first because they know some of my more notable favorites from Liyue and Inazuma 👀 But y’all will see in the next one…
the fact that there's an actual character named candace and drumsy said it on rosaria is so funny to me edit: yes i forgot about layla but candace is still funnier to me
8:53 fun fact: klee's name is derivative from the word "Kleeblatt" which means "clover leaf" in german, meaning that penny was technically the closest to getting it right! ...i know penny probably just saw the four-leaf clover and went for it, but still a good guess!
The guesses for Barbara were technically really good too! Bc your friends' logic was "follower of Jesus Christ --> Christa/Christie etc." Only the church doesn't worship Christ but BARBAtos. And her name is BARBAra. That is totally the Mondstadt equivalent of being named after Christ lol
Fun fact: Barbara *may* be named for Saint Barbara the New Martyr, a nun who spent her final moments singing to comfort and encourage those who were dying around her. At least, that’s my theory. If Jean is named for Jeanne d’Arc, I think it’s easy to conclude that her sister would also be named for a saint!
They're really going to have a fun time hearing "Dori Sangemah Bay" or "Sangonomiya Kokomi" for later installments, based on how they reacted to Fischl...
Fun fact, I actually forgot, but Diluc was named after the Latin or Greek word for dawn, and Crepus, the dad, was named after a very specific time of twilight!
@yuki97kira there is no confirmed region where the name Kaeya comes from but since Kaeya's last name is Germanic theorists think his name is also Germanic. Except it is spelled Kaija. The name Kaija has many different meanings like purity or little bird. It just depends on the region on what Kaeya means. So if you're really interested you can look it up. There are a lot of theories on it too.
@@humanbeing2360 don't take this srsly. I mean in Malay, Kaya means both coconut jam and rich. Kaya spread is nice to eat lol. If for some godforsaken reason it's taken from here, rich seems plausible and brings credence to the prince of Khaenriah theory. Or it could mean it's cause he looks like he has kaya spread all over hahaha
Diona's name might be derived from Dionysus, a Greek god who was the god of wine, among other things. After all, she _is_ a bartender, and every cocktail she makes is delicious no matter what she puts in it. Aaaand the word "Albedo" is the name for a stage of alchemy, and Albedo is an alchemist.
"Chronos." Fun fact, in one interpretation of Greek mythology, Chronos's sibling Chaos had two grandchildren: _Aether_ and his _twin sister_ Hemera. Given their roles in most official media, "Lilith" would've been a _very_ good guess for Lumine.
If you continue to subject your friends to the multinational inspiration Genshin Impact takes naming characters from in another video, you should give them all a guide of all the weapon types so that they can at least make a guess on that. Like how guessing if you chose Lumine or Aether at the beginning was with extra points. Because let's face it, with Mondstadt throwing German at them giving everyone that much whiplash then they're absolutely not ready for Chinese or Japanese or anything North African, Middle Eastern, or South Asian from Sumeru. Also oh God troll the hell out of them by putting some Aranara on the board.
@@Saga_Anserum Part of me hopes Fatui names can be any of their titles, that way when you drop "Ajax" you get to hear them lose their shit over a cleaning product name
Your friends calling Mona "Luna" gave me whiplash omfg. I was going to name one of my guinea pigs Mona, but when I adopted her, her name was already Luna so we kept it lmfao
@@Xidanyu Eh they were already prepared to just throw out any random anime name. I think someone who has watched anime would get a few Inazuma characters right. But they would be completely lost with Liyue characters. I think it would be fun to watch regardless.
Para and Penny: Kevin KEVIN (HI3): Hai, Kevin desu. I wonder how they'd react to Hoyoverse's strongest warrior being named 'Kevin.' When you're done with _Genshin_ characters, I hope you make 'em guess _HI3_ and _Star Rail_ names.
Guessing the character's name is a very difficult task 😅, if you've already done a detailed introduction about each one try to make them discover the weapon, element or nation, I love this type of video 😊
this is so fun!! i would suggest next time to make your friends also guesses the elemental that each character has because anemo has different clothes color lmao
Actually for Klee it's debatable who was closest. Penny said "Clover" Mondstadt is very much based on Europe, especially around the German-Speaking area of Europe. Diona's Bloodline is the "Kätzlein" Bloodline which basically just translated to the "Kitty-Bloodline" when you translate it to english. You also have Fischl who calls herself "Die Prinzessin der Verurteilung" which is german for "Princess of Judgement" Now where i'm going with this is: "Klee" is the german word for Clover. So technically Penny was closest. Penny just used the english word :^)
Fun fact: Venti is Latin and Italian for wind, so if you know anything about Romance languages, the little bard with the flowing green cape is a good guess.
15:48 so, funny story, my friend plays Genshin right? And she likes to be called Amber (from somewhere else) and I tease her by calling her Outrider and she gets frustrated every time and it is really funny (all in good fun)
Genshin naming are like how Anime name their characters. meaning rather literal. klee means clover. sucrose because she like sweet flowers. albedo for the alchemical process "albedo".
8:48 I'd argue "Clover" was the closest guess, since "Klee" is just clover in German :) Also worth mentioning that "Kelly" is extremely close to the Chinese pronounciation of Klee's name ^v^
This was fantastic! Though I doubt we'd get one for the other regions. Since most of the names aren't English, so they would start making up random Chinese, Japanese or Middle Eastern names.
The name description for the twins is so true tho. Especially the "evil" one (Canonically Lumine, but depends on your choice so), because amount of inner pain that they gone through when was unable to help Kaenri'ah is unbelievable.
These are only Mondstadt characters, do you think you’ll do any other regions? I think it’d be fun. You should probably tell them what each region is based off of though, I think it’d help.
fun fact: "clover" is literally the english word for Klee(a german char) so that was an incredibly good guess.. she therefore has a literal clover(=klee) on her outfit, making her the easiest one out of all of them........ if you speak german
I love that they guessed Venti for one of the other characters and not for Venti (well two of them got it right).... Please have them guessing Liyue, Inazuma and Sumeru characters as well!!!
Watching this as a genshin veteran is SO PAINFUL and i couldn't even watch the full videooooo. But at least they got razor and klees name close since they're both my main and favorite characters
One time, I told my mom genshin names and I made her guess venti’s. I said “it’s a Starbucks drink size” and she said a strawberry smoothie… then I told her no, it’s venti.
I think if they go through other countries name, it would be WAY harder (Also another way of doing this would be giving a list of possible names, maybe?)
1. I almost peed my pants y’all were making me laugh so hard! 2. When one of your friends said *that’s not Venti* I laughed so hard and got anger issues out the window!😂
Liyue is coming next!! As soon as I can schedule and gather everyone around the holidays, I’ll get working on it! Pls look forward to it until then and tysm for the support! ✨

@@wetsocks2897 sorry, i guess.
I was just about to say this but its fine since this comment is like 7 months old

@@lebazardichiko9069 no, i thought Ajax was his birth name
@@Snixker It is
I love how they got relatively close to Lumine's name but guesses for Aether were out the window gone.
Bro imagine Childe shows up and they have to guess “Childe” or “Ajax” or “Tartaglia”
Three chances on the dartboard
"Hes immature...child"
My bets on the chance they call him ed sherran or Josh, he looks like a Josh
Somehow deep in my soul I knew Penny would make that EULA joke as soon as she popped up

Only the church doesn't worship Christ but BARBAtos. And her name is BARBAra. That is totally the Mondstadt equivalent of being named after Christ lol

At least, that’s my theory. If Jean is named for Jeanne d’Arc, I think it’s easy to conclude that her sister would also be named for a saint!
I thought she was named for Barbatos (like a Biblical name) but Saint Barabara fits her too

@@thunderchief7256 on the floor right now absolutely cackling with laughter 😐
I think her name is also a reference to Diana, Roman goddess of the hunt (AKA Artemis), since both are bow-wielding hunters
Wasn't it named after Dione? The mother of Aphrodite... Actually referencing Dionysus makes lot more sense.

@@I_FeelSoSkibbidithey know? Also that comment was a year ur a bit late

this is so fun!! i would suggest next time to make your friends also guesses the elemental that each character has because anemo has different clothes color lmao
Actually for Klee it's debatable who was closest.
Penny said "Clover"
Mondstadt is very much based on Europe, especially around the German-Speaking area of Europe. Diona's Bloodline is the "Kätzlein" Bloodline which basically just translated to the "Kitty-Bloodline" when you translate it to english.
You also have Fischl who calls herself "Die Prinzessin der Verurteilung" which is german for "Princess of Judgement"
Now where i'm going with this is:
"Klee" is the german word for Clover.
So technically Penny was closest. Penny just used the english word :^)
I lost it when they learned about Fischl's entire name
Fun fact: Venti is Latin and Italian for wind, so if you know anything about Romance languages, the little bard with the flowing green cape is a good guess.
