I finally watched this and now I feel like I can see through time and space and all the things Genshin... and I still probably understand only 20% of it. Regardless, this was crazy. I'll be returning to this again and again for my theory crafting.

About Genshin Impact
Genshin Impact is a massive game that throws players into a world where the Archons rule over the land, and elemental visions are granted to worthy mortals. The game follows the Traveler as they go on a quest to find their missing sibling with the companion Paimon.

How many of you rewatched this when Fontaine was released? Tell me about the hype when you first saw it. :D
Some rewatch it every single time we get new info on an upcoming region. So a lot.
I sometimes feel like watching it randomly. I notice new things nearly every time or things sometimes make more sense as I progress. I first watched trevail just after I had finished Inazuma (before sumeru even was released) and everything was so exciting for me because I think after watching it I I realised how much dedication was put into the story and how much there was to come.
I watch it every time a new region comes out
In Lyney’s character demo they recreated the pose from this trailer! Felt very satisfying since it’s been like 3 years since this trailer dropped lol
okay little thing about aether and lumine. they are probably much more powerful then the archons. its just that when they first arrived in this world their powers were sealed away hen they were trying to leave again. and from aether at one point stating he has watched stars be born and fade taking the average lifespan of a star being more then 50 million years they are likely older then the world of teyvat as a while or at least older then the celestials that created teyvat as it is today. because the world was originally ruled by ancient dragons and the primordial only came here a couple millenia ago and made the world livable for humans. given that mihoyo likes to connect their worlds its likely aether and lumine are gods of light that travelled worlds to mingle among mortals or something. most of this si theory but theory backed by a lot of evidence.
11:07
The funny thing is that this line was said by venti lmao " freedom if demanded of you by an archon is no freedom at all" .
Venti's representation of freedom is my favourite in all fiction because it is in all sense of the word" choice"
Yessss I like that. Nice.
so venti and dain think alike
Venti doesn't just say the same line. He ANSWERS Dain's question. I think that's an important distinction.
I always love coming back to this trailer after doing a region having context makes watching it all the better.
I'm VERY excited to do that too!
If I remember correctly, this trailer dropped together with the game or few days apart. So we basically knew nothing. It was very funny back then when everyone was making theories with 0 knowledge about many things. And now, we're in Fontaine. I remember when Lyney and Lynette were only known from this one scene. Now I have them both in my team. It's crazy how fast it went by. This game really is an experience
I love your reactions. I've seen few reactors that are able to catch up on lore, but you're the first one I've seen who actually remembers things people told you, you remember names, voices, even character's trailers OSTs. AND without even playing the game. Hats off to you.
I can confirm that many people come back to this trailer a lot. It foreSHADOWs many things. It makes sense that it's the most viewed video on Genshin channel (together with Zhongli's demo lol)
Thank you for watching and being a real one. I try my best. :D
This was the trailer that convinced me that I was going to stick through this game until it ends. I watched it when Inazuma wasn't even released yet so everything after Liyue's section was so hype.
I feel like it's a pretty unique thing to feed the storyline to the audience in such a way. Like spoilers in the form of riddles. It's pretty cool. I'd want to stick around to see it all.
I really love this trailer so much. Its arranged so well with its narration, the lines are so poetic and cryptic but revealing, the music direction amazing, and you get glimpses of main characters 7 years into the future. The trailer is a work of art in its own right.
Diluc, Ningguang, and most of the other characters that were in the game and playable from the very start didn't get their own trailers, unfortunately. I always thought it was kind of weird that Kaeya and Xiangling got a trailer, but if you watch them, they seem more like ads for Genshin itself than showcases for the character.
I didn't start Genshin until earlier this year, and I didn't know about this trailer's existence until after I had caught up on the story. I think it's neat that people who have been playing from the beginning got to see characters like Cyno, Lyney, and Lynette way back then.
Do I think they would allow multiple endings? Nah, I don't think they'd go there, but I can't base that on anything.
A couple other things, the Sumeru "University" is called the Akademiya. Lumine is pronounced Loo Mean, and I used to have a dog named Shadow.
Was awesome hearing your thoughts on this. It will definitely be exciting to watch as you experience the game. Good luck with the move!
-It'd be awesome if those character could get actual trailers or shorts focused on them... Something.
-I am a little envious of the people who have played it since the beginning. I could have been one of them (if I didn't fall off)!
-Honestly I don't think there will be multiple endings either... BUT it'd be cool and very unexpected.
-You are absolutely right. Your dog sounds like a real one.
-Thank you very much! :D
Lol I remember when everyone thought we would have to wait 6 years to see Dainsleif but then he just randomly showed up as a surprise in 1.3
My favorite part about this trailer is, everything makes sense once you finish the region
When I was first watching Teyvat chapter storyline, there were only Mondstadt and Liyue, and I was so astonished by future regions. I didn't understand these lines about regions, but I loved music of each region and characters. Now after each main story quest I rewatch this video, and like "Aaaaaaah, so that was what he mean". It's very interesting ,'cause more you rewatch it, more you understand through the time, years. How much lore is hidden beyond the lines
And I really appreciate all region's music themes in the preview *_*
Thank you for video! It was very interesting to hear your vision and thoughts
It is really something else to now have characters in the game that were first revealed in this trailer and how much story they planed in advance. All the Dainsleif stuff is always so exciting and even though it is all very vague still i can't wait were it leads us.
This is all very exciting :D
Every year I rewatch this preview and am always so impressed with how much they just have everything planned beforehand.. I can only imagine what goes on behind the scenes and how far their work has already been done. Once again I'm happy to now have you with us theorizing, although I don't want to say much about my theories because I don't like to be a spoiler boy, I'm just excited for the next video about you uncovering the SHADOWs behind this game?.....!
I look forward to uncovering more as well. Thanks for watching, real one. :)
this teaser mentions spoilers but all the descriptions of the nations have been cheeky, sumeru espetially
i love that lyney and lynette do the same pose in lyney's demo
everyone was super interested in dainsleif, (he also does the naration for all character ability explanation videos and often adds his own opinion on them, you can understand his bias from that) we all thought we would meet him at the end of the game but then hoyo did something else
the stuff about weaving fate is also eyebrow raising, even now we don't know what it means exactly
Don't you use a loom to weave together strand of cloths into clothes ?
@@huynhkhangninh1357 well yeah... that's why it's interesting
So that’s were the loom of fate comes into action
If I was there from the very beginning or watched preview before playing sumeru archon quests I would be mind blown to hear “loom of fate”
@@randomname4801 yeah, it's really nice to be early
I remember theorising that signora was the crimson witch and a lot of people were saying it was columbina instead, it was super satisfying to see her transform
With genshin there are so many layers of lore spawning so many layers of theories and speculation. If you really want to get into it, you have to look at all the flavor text for weapons/artifacts, and in game books. There is so much extra detail hidden there that most players don't read that suddenly become important later or adds so much to existing info. Its really interesting way to tell the story, but also can be annoying since its so easy to miss seemingly important info that applies to the main story. Also there are limited time events that occasionally drop big lore implications but newer players do not see them. So you might want to watch play throughs or summaries of these events.
It's going to be quite the task but I'm up for it. :)
Aether is the poster boy of Genshin that's why he appears as the traveler in trailer, demos, marketing and such things.
It is understandable.
Oh you're totally right on 21:02.
Charlotte stated on the 3.7 event that we're kinda famous in Fontaine because the events of Chapter I: Liyue were in the front page for almost a whole month.
We are quite the big deal.
Also on 25:38, keep this question on your mind while playing.
Btw, Shadow.
Thank you for being a real one! I will indeed keep these thoughts and questions fresh in my head. :)
This teaser was what convinced me to give this game a chance, even 3 years after the beginning of the journey I still remember what I thought would happen in each act as well as the changes in my theories as the game was updated and new information was presented. What a ride it has been
I can't wait until you play the game. You're gonna discover so much new lore. There's a lot of it hidden in the shadows
There will be so much to discover, real one. So much.
I can't explain how much this preview hyped me up! Dainslief is last character that I originally wanted to get, other 2 been Cyno and Scaramouche :D I hope I live the day to pull for him! Haha I bet i am not the only one who keeps returning to the trailer before launch of new region :D Its just so well made. Glad you are watching these! Also hope your travelling back home isn't too much pain to deal with ❤
It's incredibly well made, and I will definitely be looking at this over and over. Can't blame anyone who does. It's incredibly interesting.
Thanks. :D
Little detail: The character on Act 6, Everwinter Without Mercy is "Pulcinella" also known as "The Rooster". I don't know why they decided to hide him on this trailer. But he already appeared in another trailer, talking and all, he might be from the same race as Klee, and look funny as heck.
He's like, Klee sized, long nose, moustache, a big hat and monocle.
He's from the Fatui and Childe puts him on a pedestal (a pedestal slightly lower than a certain another Fatui member that Childe admires, but still) on his character lines.
Edit: Also the guy at the end is indeed Dainsleif.
I cant wait to finish fontaine's quest and go back to this trailer again. Sumeru got me in chills.
its amazing watching this now and noticing how literal all the complex sounding analogies should be taking based on the plots we got for the 4 nations
btw if you're interested to find more about diluc, kaeya, collei, venti and some other lore before the action of the game i recommend reading the genshin impact webtoon
Oh yeah the manga! is it in webtoon but is also in the genshin website?
@@tara4086yeah its on the main website
I can vouche and confirm Genshin lore is very dark. many of the themes shockingly sensitive and/or mature in subject matter. Grief, death, depression, traumatic events, tyranny, slavery, human sacrifice, war(lots of them), and some I dare not name because of how f*** up they are. You only need to as Dainslief said, look for it as it is EVERYWHERE!! lol
Eyes are forever peeled!
22:15
Another little ironic tidbit is that from various lore and character voicelines the fandom has come to the working theory that the Tsaritsa, the god being talked about in 'Everwinter Without Mercy', is the God of Love.
Just a bit of trivia, since you probably won't play with JP voiceover - "good old Dain" refers to the main character solely as "kisama", including Japanese version of this trailer.
Which in my opinion adds to his antihero image. In any case, without a shadow of a doubt I can say his design looks awesome.
I think Dain is using 'kisama' here the way samurai households used it, as a term of honor and respect (considering how old he is).
It's only in the modern times that 'kisama' became almost exclusively insulting.
The Academia is the thing you weee thinking of the word for Sumeru.
DAMN You're absolutely right. Thanks.
I can't wait for everyone and their mom to tell me... :')
I have no shadow of a doubt i will love to see you playing. As i love how much you are in to the lore😊
Thank you real one :D
If you plan to play the game, I think you should rewatch this trailer after you played through at least first two regions. That'll give you good idea how to interpret it. I find it fascinating how they managed to tell us exactly what awaits us in the game without giving out any spoilers (despite the title suggesting so). After each region, people keep returning to it with "oh so that's what they meant by this". That speaks for itself.
34:15 The game is full of "illusions of choice" where you can choose between two or more options but they all have the same outcome. Given the game has a story you need to follow, it's logical, they could not possibly maintain growing tree of different stories as people make different choices. And since I don't believe the game will really end when we reach the end of this trailer, I don't think we'll have a choice either. It's called "Teyvat chapter...", after all, suggesting there will be more chapters after that and so the story may need to continue. Will there be any? That's a question. But it's also very much of a possibility, assuming the game retains at least fraction of its current popularity.
12:33 haha nice observation, that also has been a talk a way back with lore enthusiasts
since, you will play soon, I won't dwell much how good that observation is.. but it would be good to hold onto it until you go deeper in the story..
might take a while (obviously sugar coating lol), but you could start rewatching this alongside the *Winter's Night Lazzo by the time you finish Inazuma archon quest
*A good introductory to Sumeru Archon Quest.. and something else
Looking forward to it. :)
It is actually confirmed that both of the main characters are canon, doesn't matter who you choose to play as. Which seems to be pretty important for the lore of Teyvat right now. Their outfits and they way they are depicted in art seem to be represesented as night and day as well. Just thought I'd drop that important info that probably won't become apparent until the end of the game lol.
The reason Hoyoverse has chosen to depict only the guy as the main character in trailers/demos/teasers is probably for consistency.
Regardless of what Hoyo says and regardless of the fact that all ingame cutscenes, voicelines and dialogs support both Aether and Lumine as the main character, the fact that they're consistently putting Aether into all their videos as the traveler and Lumine as the Abyss sibling makes that option the canon one in my eyes.
@@kasuha That's fine too, I like to view Aether as the mc as well. However especially with all the recent lore it's pretty clear to me, with the whole "upside down" shenanigans and "opposite being good" and vice versa in Fontaine, that we're finally getting to some basis of it. After finally getting introduced to some major hints in the Caribert archon quest! ^^
I really like the way you analyze everything! So fun to see a fellow lore enjoyer get into Genshin. I think you're going to love each Dain quest as you go through the regions, he always reveals exciting things.
Thank you! I appreciate that. :D
Every time I go back and watch this trailer it never fails to blow me away that they truly planned out EVERYTHING for so many years in advance. It’s followed beat for beat.
this is actually a road map of the whole game it shows future characters that you will meet through your journey as I always says when I see someone reacting to this the story is already been set to stone we just have to play and see it till the end.
There's still a lot of pieces of the puzzle hidden in the shadows, but a lot of us definitely came back for this trailer a lot since the launch of the game, seeking to refresh some information and piece some things together... The lore of the game has grown so much and it has been a wonderful journey so far. Can't wait to see you play the game and discover that lore and story for yourself, and be ready to theorize with us on what's yet to come of course.
This video even released before the game itself, and it still consistent up until now we reach fontaine , holy moly and now i really hyped so much for natlan. Dain's power maybe came from the "shadow" of this teyvat world ? Maybe 🤔 ... Ahh finally i can sleep well , thanks roschi I can't wait to see you playing this game
I look forward to playing it!
“Lightning is eternal, the world is but shadow”
- The Raiden Shogun
Love the video! I think your analogy of Dainsleif as ‘Red in Pokémon Gold/Silver’ is a very apt way to look at it lol
One thing that might help you contextualize stuff is that one of the most consistent themes in Genshin is the concept of ‘erosion’, how nothing can last forever and change is inevitable. I know you’re going to keep having a blast as long as you continue looking into this game’s story! Have a great day
“Waking world, you seem
Woven from the stuff of dreams
All shall fade away”
- it’s ya girl Raiden again 😎
I can’t wait for your 4.1 trailer reaction!
It'll happen soon once I get my stuff situated over here!
Natlan is the most perplexing region, we have yet to meet anyone in game from Natlan, while we meet travelers from every other region years in advance. This trailer is basically the only source of what its characters will be like, (with a small exception tying into the manga).
well the battlepass's talking stick has revealed a lot about natlan now :)
Thank you for having an in-depth look at this master piece of a story "preview".
I just want to emphasize how amazing it is that they have had the complete story laid out since back then. They even did the fitting music for all regions right from the start.
Though the video is called "Teyvat CHAPTER Storyline Preview" they call the chapters "Act" (yet ingame those are the chapters which themself consist of acts).
You should work out something for your lighting so people don't get irritated by your SHADOW in the background doing strange things.
Have a good flight back home.
Thanks for being a real one!
I'm in the process of getting some stuff to have better quality videos so hopefully that works out. It's been bothering me for a while. :')
this trailer is amazing. i watch someone who is up to date in all the archon quest soo i realised a special detail, the small coment after the basic introduction for each nation is a hint about what the archon quest is about. i still don't know why specific character get shown to represent the nation other than they are always a part of the archon quest
I just saw this trailer after finishing Inazuma and my idea is that Dainslief operates as a shadow behind us but knows a lot about Teyvat and the Archons. I have thoughts about the Pyro and Cryo Archons and those thoughts are based on who they’re believed to be patterned after which are characters from a previous Hoyoverse game, I mean Raiden Shogun and Miko are based off characters from said game and Nahida is slightly based off a character and all three have the same Japanese VAs
Good job catching that our dear narrator could have some bias casting it's shadow on his perception. Sometimes, people can just get into the "but person A said X about this thing!" mindset and forget to consider that a character or indeed any person could lie, be misinformed, or simply have a particular view of things.
But yes, this trailer is a brilliant road map for our adventures. It has given us a blurry, squiggly line, passing through strange and fantastical impressions. Despite telling us where we are headed, we have no idea what truly awaits us.
I kind of like how we're not supposed to take one persons word over another. That will make my job a LOT harder but I kind of like that sort of puzzle to work with. :)
7:20 - The 7 treasures mentioned refers to the 7 gnoses which were awarded to the 7 archons who were the ones victorious in the Archon war. The gods referred in this who granted them the 7 treasures refer to the gods in Celestia.
9:50 - This is a reference to the tower of Babylon where people thought they were equal or beyond the gods and the same thing happened in Genshin.
I won't spoil too much because this will all make sense if you played the game. It's given to you bits and pieces that you'll have to connect what you found in the game to the trailers.
I can’t wait to see your reaction to the Genshin 4.1 trailer! But I know life is busy. Hope you are well, and thanks for this! This video is only a shadow of things to come.
Thanks real one!
I will watch it once I'm all set up. So soon, I hope.
Yeeees, I'm all in for your theories and speculations while you experience the game for yourself, it's the best part of this game, there's just A LOT of stuff happening in the background, a lot of stuff to read and do.
Prepare yourself for a wild ride :D
this trailer is what made me finally sit down and download genshin (along with my friend making me obsessed with albedo, of course). since the very first time i saw it, a bit more than 2 years ago at this point, i decided that once cyno is getting released as a playable character, i'm getting him a 100%. so i did! as soon as 3.1 update became available, i logged into the game and got the man. triple crowned him a week later, and he's been almost a constant in my character party setup :D
also, i really really want to believe that dainsleif appearing in the "khaenria'h" part is a hint that he'll necome playable one day (most likely once khaenria'h is available too, since other characters in the trailer are only available when their respective nations are released)
19:12 honestly, i think your videos are gonna be so much more entertaining and informative once you experience the wonders of genshin impact's lore for yourself - there's just so much stuff you have no idea about yet, and once you know, i feel like there's gonna be a huge boost of theories! there's just so much events that can be tied together right now (as someone who's done every quest available in game, read every piece of lore from materials, food, furnishing, collectable items and _books_ in this game, it's so mind blowing just how much parallels is possible to point out). the journey is for sure gonna be insane!
I look forward to my padded room. :)
About the choices in the end: I think it's possible. They have Star Rail which have a lot of quests with choices that lead to different outcomes (though not in the main storyline yet). Genshin doesn't have that thing but if they test it in the other game they can implement it here, and that would be very cool.
Choice and fate both play a significant part in both stories, but each focus on them in different ways. Star Rail has been very obvious about the idea that there are very few deviations from a core path that are possible (given that the SHs are interfering to bring about a specific end goal), but that many little decisions are still yours to make. They may or may not have an impact on you or the other characters, but they won't impact your core path. The philosophical idea being that even if your fate is predetermined there is still value in your choices, no matter how small.
Genshin has also long played with the concept of Fate but has been more coy about why it exists and what that really means. We've gotten little bits that help us piece together some reasonable theories but we've still yet to know for sure. That said, I suspect that there won't be any large scale choice involved in Genshin's story, unless the game will not have a continuation with these characters.
"This is Dain talking so it's also his perspective as well..."
DING DING DING. You will meet him in the story and he's got his own biases. I like to say there are no reliable narrators in Genshin. There's been plenty of things that people were sure/assumed was established fact from things we were told by certain characters only to find out later on that....no....it doesn't actually work like that and either the characters in question didn't have all the information or we were being a little mislead. Not a retcon though, it's obvious Hoyo has planned out where things go for some time (as you can see from this trailer) so the contradictions are not inherently bad. It does drive the lore folks a little crazy though as you might imagine. :)
Okay, just had to get that out. Still watching...
"cataclysmic events"
"Cataclysm" is a word that keep coming up in the game. Have fun twitching every time you hear it! :)
And yeah, Dain looks super cool. He's supposed to eventually be playable and I will definitely be pulling for him if so.
Regarding whether Dain's "her" is referring to Lumine, there's been looooooots of discussions on that topic over the years. I've seen it get pretty heated. I could see it go either way, either he really is just referring to Lumine (or if you choose her then he'd be referring to Aether and in another universe he'd have used "him") but some people have suggested there is another character we see only shortly in the game could hypothetically be who he is actually referring to. But to be honest, Lumine makes the most sense (but referring to my above comment...sometimes there's what makes sense in the game and what we assume from what we've been told and then we get new information that turns all of that on its head).
"wish upon a star" is not a bad way to put it...since the way you get characters in the gacha is by wishing and the animation they use is shooting stars....
Re: choosing an ending...that would actually be pretty amazeballs since throughout the game basically none of our choices actually matter so getting the biggest one actually mean something would be super cool.
Without a shadow of a doubt I think you will really enjoy digging into the game's lore and there's a LOT to dig into. I haven't even gotten through all the collectible books! But basically everything you collect has at least a little lore snippet behind it, some things basically tell entire stories if you get the whole set of whatever they are.
Thank you for more genshin content, always nice to see you and hear your thoughts!
Thank you for watching :)
Dainslif also narrates All the collected Miscellines (with a couple videos narrated by Alice , klee's mom) which is a more proof he is so knowlagable and probably the most inportant key in this whole thing.
I can't wait to see them!
...and hear what he has to say.
One of my favorite things about hoyoverse is that they care deeply about their stories and lore. They planned how things will end (and all the storybeats along the way) before the game was even released, which is something I love whether it's a tv show, book, or video game.
To me, the best stories are the ones that were pre-planned, so for that reason and many more, I'm excited to see you play this game :)
I'm very much looking forward to playing it. :)
This made me subscribe. I CANNOT wait until you play the game and get DEEP DEEP into the lore. shadow
Thank you :)
Can't wait for the new 4.1 trailer reaction! :D
As a lore person I pretty much devourer this trailer very often. It's crazy but we are nearing the end of the Teyvet Chapter with to date of 2023 we have 5/8 nations released(9 if you count Celestia City, the floating island of the gods). Every nation has it charms and beauty as I'm sure you noticed.
Monstadt(European, with key German base to it)
Liyue(China)
Inazuma(Japan & possibly island and coastal asia)
Sumeru(Persian Empire which made up of the entire middle East, bits of india, and some of Egypt, ect.)
Fontaine(Industrial Age Europe and Industrial Age America)
Natlan(Mix of West & East African, South & Central Americas, and one more I can't remember at the top of my head but its heavily tribal influenced)
Snezhnaya(Russia)
Khaenri'ah(Greek and Norse from what we know so far)
Every Major God (archons) in Genshin are symbolic of certain principles/values.
Anemo and Freedom
Geo and Contracts
Electro and Infinity
Dendro and Wisdom
Hydro and Justice
Pyro and War
Meanwhile, Cryo is hinted to represent Love.
Perhaps even Desire.
Yet the realm ruled by the Cryo Archon is also implied to be a place devoid of love.
Only held together by stubborn loyalty.
Sad news : Yu peng chen , main composer of Hoyomix decided to left Hoyoverse to pursue his personal career. I’m little sad but he ensured Hoyomix is left in a good hands. It’s his students and coworkers time to shine and we can see it from fontaine music. Salute to the king🫡
A lot of fans have also noticed that Dain specifically said "she" at the end. Because in game, characters refer to the traveler with they/them unless referring to them directly (aka if they are in the room).
I theory crafted so much up in my head during that part but didn't get into because it may just have to be a separate video. I would also like to play the game a bit too before I go off about it. < .
I think people overthink it, there's obviously Aether as MC so Lumine should be Abyss sibling. If you switch them, I guess Dain would say "he" instead. Like when in the Chasm quest they changed the story about the flower un Lumine's hair: if MC Aether, he says that he saw this flower in sister's hair and if MC is Lumine, she says that when she woke up this flower already was un her hair (brother put it there)
Hello, Roschi! Absolutely loved the video. You have no idea how much I giggled menacingly at your theories. I'm not going to say if you're hot and cold but thank you for being awesome.
Sincerely yours, one of the feet people.
I'm glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for watching, foot person. :)
"the thread of all fate is yours to re-weave" this right here is a very important part. As you mentioned (and are super right about it) that there has been chaos before the traveler came to this world "Theveyt". But why is the traveler asked this to have fate be re-woven? so the question is, where there other travelers before that came? and not succeeded?. We also understand (at least) that this chaos was not a one time thing, it has happened more then ones, in other words, is there a loop? have they been looking for a solution to stop this loop and solve the chaos?...So the big question is who is "they"? and ofcourse there is a lot of illusion and masks at play through the story....but why? in other words someone has created this chaos for a reason and someone wants to stop this chaos, hence the reason for the illusion and the loop....and we are all just pawns in this game(if you knkow about the ghnoses, they are in that form). From what I can gather (and this is just my openion) there are two forces at play here (light and dark, yen and yen, celestial and abyss?) and we are just pieces in this game, one traveller chooses the light the other dark....but what i think will happen is that in the end both the two forces plans will be outwitted by the twins, because the solution is probably in the twins [shadow], and the twins have the same shadow....so it dont matter which twins does what, the solution will be the same and one....this is just my thinking though haha.
Gotta say, I watch a lot of these kind of videos of genshin (cause I love the game), but only your reactions make sense because you watch AND listen to what's happening. Even though you didn't play the game, you grasp what they are trying to tell through these teasers and trailers, it's visible that you're interested and fascinated by the world of Teyvat, which I appreciate a lot. All of the other reactions are just people shouting "WOW IT LOOKS INCREDIBLE" but they don't pay any attention to what's happening, it's obvious that genshin videos bring a lot of views so they don't have to try to make it quality video that actually contributes anything. Travail trailer is my favourite, I'm really happy to hear your actual thoughts on it and not everybody else's "I don't know what's happening but I'm watching it because it brings views". Thank you (I'm also impressed how many names of characters you remember!)
Thank you so much!
It can be frustrating to see people react just for views, and that people will watch regardless. I can't blame them though, it works.
I could make my life easier and just do the same but that's not me. I'm happy that you appreciate what I'm out here for. :)
Despite what people say Aether isn't cannon. Both of them are canon Hoyoverse just uses Aether.
I don't know if you've seen it, but I think it would be interesting if you watched this video, A Summary in Sumeru.
It contains a lot of lore from Genshin's past that doesn't show in the game directly, but mainly in some books that you find in the world and you can read them at any time (but generally no one reads them and just skip it, like almost all sub-quests unfortunately).
And it's cool to be able to see so much lore summarized and presented in a song in a fun way.
And about your gameplay, will you play on UA-cam, or Twich? And will it be in live?
My Genshin gameplay will be in the form of videos on youtube, documenting my experience as I play through it.
If I stream it, it won't be till much later. The reason for that is because I want to make sure that I pay attention to the story and even the minor details as I go and that could be difficult while interacting with a chat. :)
Thanks for this reaction.
It's a real shame that, now it's marked for spoilers, so many people skip it and quite impressive how much this shows the initial plan, to the point we can now speculate about the next chapter's title.
After you've played Enkanomiya, I'd really recommend Stupendium's promotion video, as it focuses on the history most players don't seek out., which strangely makes it completely spoiler free for the story, while revealing a lot about the world.
His name is indeed Dainsleif.... but whenever I hear his voice it's just Sasuke to me 😂
18:28 that is a wild theory and I'm just gonna stay silent. Go off king 😂
34:07 this game does not really feel like it would have multiple endings but they do pay attention to the tiniest details. So maybe I'm wrong....
.......Well. Now I have to call him Sasuke.
- Thanks. I'm losing my marbles as the gears turn. :)
-Honestly, it doesn't seem like this game would actually do it. I believe they has a specific way very planned out BUT if they actually pulled the rug out from under us with something like that, it'd be insane.
cant wait for you to play it
The new powers we are introduced in fontaine are Peumia and Oucia or something like that one represents dark and is chaotic the other is more stable and is yellow bright so you can kinda see them as light and dark, fontaine characters and the travler can apply one of those in addition to their element wich effects some enemies and puzzles.
what Dain is using is a power from the abyss so its on the same wavelenght as those
still a theory. don't generalize it and make it a fact cause it will mislead other people.
Ooh I can't wait for you to go deep with the true meaning of the title "Genshin" in the game, especially at the end of the Mondstadt Story Quest. I wanna know your thoughts about that one in the future.
Keep in mind though that "Genshin" is a translated term from its English term used in the game but I'll leave that up to you to figure out which word I'm talking about.
The hint will be revealed on a certain tree's "shadow".
Aether is just the poster boy(used for advertising to not confuse people) both siblings are canon btw depending your choice.
i think dain is the distant traverler who married a seelie and both were cursed to lose memory. and hes not talking about lumine at the end. maybe hes talking about the seelie, who could be the woman that beat the twins at the beginning or maybe paimon who has no memories really and is a seelie. imo
24:50 The key point here is the sentence "The hidden corners of the world where the Gods gaze doesn't fall". This means these places are regions without Archons - referring to the destroyed older civilizations. The city in the chasm and enkanomiya have no known survivors but Khaenriah has. It was a nation known as the pinnacle of mankind and probably the first nation to come in contact with The abyssal twin (Lumine, in this case).
19:04 GO OFF KING! hahaha
The "shadow" person sitting in the chair for the image of Sneznaya is of course one of the fatui harbingers. I'm sure others have spoiled it for you, heh. But since all of these characters are playable, does that mean that specific harbinger will also become playable in the future? Guess we'll have to find out in two years or so.
I'mma do it!
Thank you real one. :)
bruh... i actually get chills whenever u connected something, crazy...
I can play 'connect the dots' fairly well. :D
If you are interested you should Check Winter Night lazzo ( a trailer about the fatui harbingers) or at least have finished the story of third region (Inazuma).
I plan on checking it out after completing the 3rd region. Thanks for watching, and for discovering the laws of gravity. :)
16 hrs late for notifications DX but at least i still get to watch your great content ❤❤
It says 16 hours because it was technically released early for members. :P
You're right on time for the public viewing though! Thank you so much for watching.
Dainsleif is voiced by none other than Yuri Lowenthal, the voice behind Spider-Man in the not-so-recent PS4-PS5 game, he also voices the Prince in Prince of Persia games
Had a feeling Sasuke was up in here. XD
Well the end of the story still didn't come yet, but I know without a SHADOW of doubt that there is only one ending be it bad or good and that based on my experience of playing the game and reading it lore! in the end that's just my opinion!
Really nice analysis, excited for when you finally get into the game itself. Would love to see you do some Honkai Star Rail stuff eventually too. It's still really early into the game, and it's story isn't as bloated as Genshin's thus far, so it's not as overwhelming as it.
I will be playing Genshin soon, and I'd love to dive into Honkai Star Rail at some point. Hard to say when, but it is a plan. :D
Please also watch and analyze winter night's lazzo. I like your analysis😊
Thank you! When I get to that point in the game I will. 😁
First time watcher and just wanted to say (nothing to do with the vid itself btw.) I love your look and I'll be coping them someday in the future when it comes time for a haircut. Now if I could only get my facial hair to even grow that much...
I felt like a mess in this video but thank you very much! I appreciate it. XD
Hoyo has stated that both Aether and Lumine are "canon". In fact, Lumine appeared as the "Traveler" we play as in one of the earlier trailers. However, for marketing purposes and in order to not confuse players, they tend to use Aether as the Traveler. In-game cutscenes and web events have both a Lumine and Aether version depending on who you pick, so they seem quite dedicated to keep this.
Now, how would choosing one of the 2 make it less confusing? Well, simply, as you may have noticed in the trailer: The sibling you didn't choose plays a VERY important role in the story. Probably bigger than you think. Now, if we are constantly switching between both of them: How do we know which one is the Traveler and which one is... how do I say this in a spoiler-free way... Missing sibling? You'll get it when you play the "We will be reunited" quest (In fact, a story teaser related to this appeared in the end card. Do not watch it before playing the quest since it is quite spoilery!)
Or maybe I'm biased as a Lumine enjoyer. I'm sorry, she's just too pretty and I prefer her as the Traveler haha!
Warning: Long Comment
First, a list of clarifications-ish things, going to try to keep as spoiler free and theory friendly as possible. It's not really a "You're wrong about x, it's actually y" as more of a "You've got the right idea about x, y is kinda weird but I won't spoil it, and here's the name of z" but if you still want to skip then I won't stop you.
-You got some of the more general ideas/motifs down.
-Yes, ruins contain secrets. Some ruins are even more important.
-Visions are really, really mysterious. I'm not sure how to tell you whether or not you're right, since the answer is not given directly, you have to dig a little. if you want to know where to look, let me know.
-9:20 Celestia is indeed the name. That's all I'll say.
-Lyney and Lynette: I wanna say something. If you want me to say something, I will. But I remember you replying to someone's comment saying something along the lines of wanting to theorize for yourself, so yeah.
-Do you remember any of the videos you watched mentioning "The Fatui"? The Cryo nation is the Fatui.
Hopefully that didn't spoil too much, apologies if it did.
The main point of this comment is some general notes about the game's experience, since I know you'll be playing it soon. Keep in mind that this is all my opinion.
First up, lore, since it seems you're like me really like lore.
Lore mainly comes from 3 things: Archon Quests, World Quests, and books and artifact/weapon lore.
Archon Quests are the main story. You'll get main plot points and action from this, and most of the general, overall important lore is in these.
World Quests can be anything from helping some lady grow flowers to exploring ancient underground ruins. Some World Quests give lore, others are more normal "side adventure" type quests. The lore you find in World Quests will often give deeper and more specific secrets than in the Archon Quests. Archon Quests have a lot of lore, it's just that World Quests usually are more specific about a certain region (for example, Sumeru Archon Quest has a lot about Irminsul and some about the desert, but World Quests give a lot more info on ancient desert civilization, but not much on Irminsul).
Artifacts and weapons will have lore attached to them (not the flavor text, talking about the stories attached to each one that can be viewed in the Archive menu). Books also have lore, because they're books. (By 'books' I mean the ones available in the Archive. The ones you read during quests are important to that quest) Some stories aren't relevant at all, and may just be a random fairy tale. Others may be really confusing but are actually incredibly symbolic, and won't make sense until we find out what they're symbolic for in future content. Other stories are real history. But you'll most likely have to do some cross referencing between stories to get the full picture. You don't have to immediately start reading as soon as you get these books, artifacts and weapons. The lore isn't exactly critical, you can just play the quests and still have the info. But the stories from these items can help fill in the details, provided you can find the right story. There's a lot of stories.
Onto the quality of the lore. Overall, very good, very interesting in my opinion. And I'm sure many others agree. However, do note that things may be simple and/or vague in the earlier areas compared to later areas. The main area of Mondstadt, aside from Dragonspine doesn't have as many secrets as Sumeru. And the Prologue doesn't have as many plot twists or lore bombs as later Archon Quests. This isn't to say it can't be interesting. My main point is that since it's supposed to be a starting area, you're not gonna get lore blasted or something. It's indeed fun, it's just that later areas are even better. Most quests are really good storytelling wise. Again, it may be simple in the beginning (E.g. Amber's story quest is mainly trying to catch a thief) but later areas are really cool (Raiden Shogun's second story quest reveals a whole bunch and is really emotional). This isn't to say Mondstadt is bad. The Prologue was good, and quests like Venti's and Eula's were really good. While not as impressive, Jean's, Diluc's, and Klee's are also fun. Also, the starting quests still have secrets. Lisa's quest seems basic, but there's one small detail that didn't make sense until something was revealed at the end of the Sumeru Archon Quest. Kaeya's also seems basic, but he has a lot of secrets. Albedo didn't make as go on a grand adventure, but he sure as hell is interesting and has secrets. Mondstadt is a good start, but it's just a start. Main point is, don't quit if you think Mondstadt is boring. It shouldn't be boring, but I'm saying that just in case. that being said, Inazuma Archon Quest was not great, but the Inazuma Character Story Quests and World Quests are really good. Also, Sumeru and Fontaine Archon Quests are REALLY GOOD.
Next, Gameplay.
The highlight for me is exploration. There's lots of fun puzzles and really cool environments. Fontaine's underwater exploration is really fun.
Combat is good. Not intense, but good. The main issue is not with the combat itself, but character balancing. You have really fun and really good characters. But there are also characters nobody uses. For example, Dehya was done dirty, and her damage is nowhere near as good as Hu Tao. Essetially, there are really good characters, but also bad characters. I think there's more good and decent characters than bad characters.
Character often rely on materials from their region to level up, and since Inzauma is the only region locked behind an Archon Quest, you won't be able to build Inazuma characters until you start the Inazuma Archon Quest.
Artifacts. These things give stat boosts. They have a main stat they enhance, and several other smaller substats. Equipping 2 artifacts of the same set give a small bonus, and 4 artifacts of the same set give a much larger bonus. The main issue is RNG. There are 5 types of artifacts and many different sets. Each artifact domain has a list of sets is might give you. There's usually 2 5-star sets in each domain. But as for which one you'll get, that's random. The stats you get are random. The main stat you get is fairly random. Some artifact types are more associated with a particular type of stat though. The substats are completely random. Leveling up an artifact increases it's main stat, and every 4 levels increases one of its substats. The substat that is leveled up is random. Point is, there's too much randomness. Now, there is a system where you can trade in 3 5-star artifacts of any set for 1 artifact of a set you do want, but the stats and artifact type are still random.
Resin. This is the daily 'energy' you spend to collect challenge rewards. You get things like character, talent and weapon upgrade materials and artifacts. This is the main source of upgrade materials. But you only have 160 resin max to spend. It regenerates over time. Point is, you have to wait to get more rewards.
Now, artifacts and resin sound like bad systems. But Hoyoverse has fixed them a bit in their other game, Honkai Star Rail (increased max resin and main stat selector). so there is hope.
Overall, it's still a good game. For me and others, artifact randomness and resin are just stuff we deal with. They are not dealbreakers. The game is still fun and certainly worth it. Once you start, there should be plenty of content for you to explore, and I'm really excited to see that. I'm just letting you know ahead of time what to expect.
I know much of this sounded critical of the game, but I still really love the game. The music, storytelling and aesthetics are beautiful. The exploration and combat are really fun, and the characters are compelling. There are flaws, but in my opinion, they aren't enough to outweigh the good parts.
Shadow
I just realized something. When people with visions ascend to celestia, they essentially become gods. But if we (the traveler) were to go there..wouldn’t that imply us becoming some sort of “god” or ascended being? Idk just a theory
i love this trailer. Shadow
Me too. Real one.
Given Dain is a vehement antithiest It seems that he would think that the lure of godhood is more a farce. If that makes sense. The electro archons name Ei means shadow
Thanks real one.
It can also mean eternity ;)
Crazy moon shit is what Im here for.
OH there be a lot of it!
You don´t need to read everything, i give a brief summary in the headlines. :P
Start: _Just a funny joke about the final battle in Genshin_
i fear the day when the final battle in Genshin appears and its an 1v1. The traveller vs god knows who. But I do not fear the 1v1...
I fear that the traveller needs to fight with the actual strength - you as a player has given to him over the journey [because he grew almighty and so on] - which in my case is lvl a level 60 traveler, all talents only on level 3 and as an artifact/weapon holder.
Act I: (Being philosophicel about *"What does freedom really mean, when demanded of you by a god." Involving ancient roman philosophers*
"What does freedom really mean, when demanded of you by a god." ~ 10:22
Seneca (a stoic philosopher) once said "No servitude is more shameful than voluntary servitude." [Sorry if there are translation mistakes. English is not my mother tongue]
You said that it doesn´t seem like freedom. I think so too; Accepting a vision to get stronger to defend yourself or against foes. You accepted a gift by a god, and act in his name (kinda). Being a servant. Even if you fulfill goodhearted tasks, a servant is a servant.
True freedom might lead to anarchy (pure chaos as you mentioned) or i would assume the strongest people or oven the strongest person will lead and it will transform into tyrannie.
Cicero (another roman philosopher and lawyer) once said that "We are chained to laws in order to be free." which i just love the symbolism in this sentence. It kinda makes sense to me, but on the other side doesn´t. Which again you can project on the sentence above. You get more freedom, as you can do more with a vision. But are chained to it.
Jumping to act IV: _Things don´t make sense for me_
I don´t really get the lines for Furina (Focalor).
The mask theme you picked up; Mask yourself, be/act different... It would make sense to at the moment available information about certain characters in Fontaine.
Still don´t get it how or what Furina wants to judge the other archons for. As she doesnt seem (at the moment) in the situation to do so. Don´t want to get much further into it. =)
The Theory for Lyney and Lynette is very interesting, tho i disagree. I would definetly say there are characters that try to blend in, know way more then they seem. You get to know that very quickly on certain characters in Fontaine. But yeah, the previous mentioned "mask theme" of yours :D
20:20 Act V:
I actually think that Natlan will be shaped/designed around Italy/Rome/Spain. Would be nice, since i had latin as a subject which i really enjoyed. :D
Act VI:
For Tsaritsa/Snehznaya i really like the motive of an "expelled god" - The Harbingers quite like her tho.
Good point. I agree that the Tsaritsa Chapter is going to be very interesting i can imagine.
Khaenri'ah Act/End: _Praising the Dainsleif analysis, not because it might be right but very intersting and my thoughts about the ending of Genshin/Dainsleif._
"Do the gods actually care about anyone else". Very interesting question. ´Gave it some time to think about it. If i need to answer the question and get some flashbacks from dialogues/scenes in. I would lean towards a "no" abit more than yes. I let it be here. Great Question! :)
*Very very interesting* analysis for Dainsleif. As a tip: Try to inspects Dainsleif in game a bit closer when you meet him. You´ll start to ask yourself questions. Also listen carefully. You get short but very precious pieces of knowledge from/with him. After all, he seems like a shadow from the past...
NGL i persoanlly think we don´t fight Dainsleif. Atleast not as an endboss or something similar. That´s my feeling right now. Let´s see how the Dainsleif chapter continues in Fontaine.
I think it would be to straight and to easy for the Genshin Storytelling to frame him as a bad guy and the typical bad guy stuff bad guys do. Especially he doesn´t act like one... Or iam just blind :D
I would say its one ending. the "re-weaving" sounds like a never ending cycle like in Dragons Dogma. Or just a teaser for New game+ xD
End of comment:
Don´t want to write a book here. Very Very interesting Video. Good thing is, there can´t be really spoilers from the comments your community as we all step in the dark and we also only can speculate and share, agree or disagree with you.
Hope your move is going well and you are too! =)
Here's some very interesting twists we got so far: warning of SPOILERS
Mondstadt - "Freedom when demanded you by a GOD"
Impression - is that this god of freedom is not really ALL freedom, but only the ones he demands.
In game - In the end Venti literally explain to Dvaling (the dragon) that he would NEVER demand dvaling or Boreas (the ice wolf) or any of the guardians to keep guarding the country because that would break their freedom. He as a god is only to help people keep living the lives they want.
Liyue - "Senseless slather as people watch in horror. The will sign the contract to end all contracts
Impression - Someone is going to kill geo archon and in his deathbed he will probably be forced to sign a last contract
In game - Zhongli faked his death so that people of Liyue could take their independence of the gods and signed his last contract as the geo arcon, giving his gnosis.
Inazuma - "Secluded land the arcon seeks eternity, but what do mortals think of their god?"
Impression - the mortals are not that happy with this eternity
In game - Civil war. No actual plot twist here. This one was very clean and dry
Sumeru - "The sages push for folly, but the goddess of wisdom makes no argument against it"
Impression - Sages are doing idiot things and the dendro archon don't care for the people.
In game - Dendro archon literally imprisioned for 500 years and doing her best to actually fix the problems the sages are making EVEN FROM INSIDE the prision. That's how much she actually cares.
Fontaine - "Lives in the spectacle of the courtroom judging even other gods, but not the divine"
Impression - Hydro archon is most high above all other archons and will follow celestia as priority
In game - Here is where we are, and my theory is that this courtroom WILL judge gods. They will judge THE HYDRO GOD. And she will lose.
I believe they will allow different endings.. in Honkai Star Rail they even already included an extra ending just in case you decide not to go on the adventure... it might be just text but i dont believe they will keep it with only 1 Ending
I don't think they'll do it, since in HI3 they didn't make multiple endings. Mainly because they are still releasing new story after the "finale" (They even called it "Part 1 finale"). Knowing they call the current storyline in Genshin "Teyvat chapter" they'll probably do the same they did in HI3 and GGZ, keep releasing story indefinitely (Both games are still releasing new main story chapters, even when their first storylines are over. I don't know if GGZ had multiple endings tho, but I doubt it)
yay
Wooo!
@@TheRoschi thank you for such a cool video! You put so much effort into everything and it is so fun to watch!
It's interesting to see which things have likely stayed exactly as planned and which have changed, with the later chapters having the most potential for drift.
That said, it does seem that certain crimes, that were implied and assumed of the Geo archon, at release, may be retconned, because of his popularity, especially relating to his potential paramour. This trailer may have become a relic of the original intentions.
Everything that described him(, outside limited events,) is still in game, but subsequent development almost seems to contradict how his past was initially portrayed and I have to wonder if part of that is the Chinese players deciding that Zhongli is the emblem of China and Mihoyo realising that he was a way to monetise the game for women.
A "husbando" who murdered his community-designated girlfriend raises problems.
So now, at least all the other characters believe, she was killed by someone else, despite all implications in the weapon descriptions.
I don't know why, Dainsleif gives me a strong vibe that he IS Aether somehow.. I know this sounds stretched but..
I kinda feel that too.... In a way. It'll be something I look into. < .
Possible spoilers:
Raiden Ei was literally trying to stop time and prevent change due to her survivor trauma
the buried warning would be Khaenri'ah, a nation destroyed long ago
Dain is not the biggest fan of the gods so you can't take everything he says absolutely
There is no canon traveler, Mihoyo only uses Aether because the two siblins have important roles in the story, so it would be confusing to swap the two, this already happened in the Liyue expansion trailer, they used Lumine, but then they used Aether in version 1.1 and saw that it would get confusing so they continued with Aether
They say "there's no canon traveler" just to quiet the lumine fans, that's all.
Aether is entirely portrayed as the canon choice through 99% of their illustrations for events, all version trailers, story, general design and symbolism of the twins, the opening cutscene of the game itself, and many more reasons.
@@sneakretster Oh, you're one of those who think you're special for choosing Aether just because Mihoyo also chose him, right?
explain the Liyue expansion and the fact that Lumine was the first Traveler to be created and not Aether
@@Keiki-kun the game had been in development for YEARS before that trailer dropped, that's not even slightly evidence to make a case for your side at all. You have no idea when their designs were conceptualized. Those trailers were also clearly for showcasing the available protagonist options (not to mention that they got Aoi Yuuki to voice Lumine and she's a big name that draws a lot of attention).
A few trailers from it's extremely early days mean absolutely nothing when compared to the complete directional shift to Aether for the entire rest of the game's lifetime thus far. Rabid Lumine fans always throw that exact argument around as if it means anything when all the evidence suggests the opposite at this point.
Also "you're one of those" is such a pathetic way to try and shut down a perspective when you don't even know anything about the other person involved.
I don't think I'm a special person for happening to choose the gender of character that matches my own, that's really stupid to assume about me 🤨
Of course I'm attached to him after playing the game for three years, but I wouldn't feel any different if both twins were advertised.
@@sneakretster Are you making all these conspiracy theories just because you want to think you're better than others and want to have a self-insert?
uuhhh actually Mihoyo lied all this time I know this because my uncle is the CEO of Mihoyo and he told me last week ☝️🤓
@@Keiki-kun okay, well I'm leaving this conversation since it's seems you legitimately don't have a grasp on common sense and also can't even fully comprehend what I'm typing.
It seems that you want me to be someone I'm not so that you can stir something up, but I'm not playing into this mess. Goodbye.
Both travelers are canon , both Lumine and Aether, but i just think they use Aether to keep things simple so they dont use aether and then change him for lumine next trailer just like dain was talking about " her " during this trailer they use aether to portray traveler since its not like dain san say to save " them " he has to talk about the one you didnt choose to play as
One point: so far there's no proof that the archons actually pick and choose people, and there's in fact decent evidence against it. This does get done, and it gets done in a way so that the end result does look like they're consciously doing it, and they do have at least a limited control over the process, but it seems more autonomic than deliberate. My own theory is that as the world's last "stable design state" depended on there being far more gods (the basic definition appears to be a being who acts as a self-aware nexus point for elemental energies and directly interacts with human beliefs) than are currently available, the same Celestial system that defined the concept of "archon" has intentionally produced a new class of beings, far less powerful and more leashable than gods, to serve a similar ecological role.
Dainsleif has inherited some strong biases. I would say with cause except that he wasn't quite there to witness some of the events we still know the least about and he's guessing as well, and we've seen somebody with the same cultural bias make some very long-lasting and far-reaching choices based on a gross misinterpretation of evidence. Dainsleif himself has somewhat mellowed over time: while his viewpoint has not really changed, he will no longer outright act based on something he could be wrong about.
I was facepalming so much at dain... honestly.
There is no geo archon before zhongli.. zhongli and venti are the only original archon after catclysm/the fall of khaenri’ah
Shadow
Real one
the game said both twins are Canon. okay but i feel like they just said that for the angry Lumine players. cause it's confusing. Dain at the end of the trailer kinda going romamtic for lumine and the flower in her hair. but what if u pick lumine, will dain flirt about Aether XD he doesn't even have a flower. (the flower already created confusion in a certain quest between Aether and lumine havers)
10:22 The loving parents know what is bad for the child. They want their children to be safe and happy. We are just stupid kids who think our parents are not giving us more freedom.
I simultaneously love and hate this... 😂
