    If Tyvat is in a constant loop, then its citizens don't have free will of their own. Our sibling could use the Loom of Fate to open up branches in their life path for them to decide how they live it, thus granting them free will and breaking the cycle.
    Also the photo was the first use of the loom of fate's full power by the last remnants of Caribert. That is why he is fading out of the photo. Literally an object, by all reason, shouldn't exist.

    • @biazacha
      @biazacha 6 місяців тому +79

      Is surprising how many people didn’t read the description of the photo and just took it as a cute way for the Traveler remember… like the absolute madlad broke the hard rules of the world causally before ceasing to exist, this is HUGE and shows how powerful the Loom of Fate is.

    • @ghetoknight7801
      @ghetoknight7801 6 місяців тому +8

      that is my assumption but at the same time it's narratively inconsistent to go "caribert uses his final instances of the loom of fate as he's dying to;
      permanently implant cheerful memories of him
      teleport the siblings to another world
      trick dain with his last strength
      hold together the imaginary world with his last breathe
      permanently implant new memories descripting a happy exit from this life
      and still on his last toes the entire archon quest magically CREATE create a selfie of the travellers and him
      like although it almost fits it's still a tad bit excessive
      although it falls in line with genshin plot writing in general, so honestly that's probs just how it is , a solemn act of charity (very cute image)
      also caribert should never have had the ability to utilise the loom of fate, he only had remnants of it- since he never got the field tiller's eye
      or sh wait the implication is that lumine is using the loom no?

      ​@@ghetoknight7801 You need to walk before you can run. With only literal moments left before your existence ends and you have the full power of the LoF at your disposal, but are not sure how to fully utilize it, maybe all he could do with such a short little time and limited knowledge of the LoF was make a photo. Also considering one of his only wishes in life was to be remembered then it isn't a stretch to think that this is something he would have wanted.

    I will say I didn’t like the conversation between Aether & Lumine just being deleted from both of their memories, I feel like having this genuine conversation between the two, and actually hearing the abyss sibling’s perspective on things could lead to some sort of internal conflict with the traveler. All of the information provided could lead to how the traveler acts in the future of the story. Contextually it makes sense as to why they wouldn’t remember it, but I’m still a little disappointed that the whole conversation is just forgotten, maybe it could come back somehow, but for the time being, I just feel like it wasn’t the best way to handle that

    Could it be that both Aether and Lumine are having the same journey? Just different time and different cirumstances. The sibling got to travel Teyvat pre war and got to know Kaenria'ah's people. Traveller got to meet the peoples from a post war Teyvat. Both met new friends, they made their own found family, 500 years between them. That's why the sibling wants Traveller to finish their journey, so they can understand why they're fighting against their found family's curse, the Kaenrian curse.

  • @paraalemdossonhos7507
    @paraalemdossonhos7507 6 місяців тому +51

    Something to consider:
    Reread Snow White and the Six Dwarfs and see the similarities between the "blind" dwarf and the "visionary". The dwarf who wanted to use the prince's body to reflower the garden and "Gold".The dwarf "repentant" when keeping the prince's body in a hole and Deinsleif guarding the eye of the first cultivator of the land. For me, the order of the abyss and the fatui have the same objective. The fatui will use the loom of destiny for their purposes. Remember Collei's dream and the burning tree. Perhaps they want to recreate a new tree, since Irminsul is as guilty as the abyss of every tragedy on this planet.
    Let's remember Remuria and the theory about Remus/Cylla/Sybilla. If it's Pahnes, Nibelung and primordial Seelie, think about the sacrifice the Seelie made to help Remus/Pahnes. Everything that happened in Remuria was the responsibility of fortune/Irminsul, because she had already enacted Remuria's cycle of destruction.
    Perhaps Pahnes reached the planet and the primordial Seelie, who had told Remus about the inevitable fate of his kingdom. It is interesting to think that the primordial Seelie became one of Phanes' shadows, being that of life (which could be considered a descent, since she had the power to create life). Her sacrifice in becoming Phobos can be associated with the metaphor of the celestial tree, which was cut down to help Pahnes repair the castle's beams. If this is real, we could be talking about Phanes and Nibelung (1 and 2 descendants creating gnosis from the body of 3). The Seelie body provided the power of the elements of Irminsul, and Nibelung handed over the authority of the dragons that ruled the land.
    We then have 3 forces in Teyvat. Irminsul who uses the cycle of destruction of civilizations to prevent the power of the abyss (Honkai), but was corrupted as it carried out not only the good but the bad desires that the primordial Seelie ended up providing (since she became the gnosis, with the ability to provide visions). The abyss, which is using sinners to dominate. The traveler, who brings the power of another world to prevent Irminsul from continuing to define people's destiny.
    Irminsul it is "evil" for regulating the planet, causing the Sansara cycle with imminent death and destruction. Abyss, as it is an oppressive power in its essence and the traveler, who must be the only one capable of rivaling the world.

    Pointing out another discrepancy that popped up with this quest that makes me sus of the abyss sibling:
    In this quest, Dain says that the sinners did nothing to help kaheri'ah when the disaster broke out, and he's gonna take revenge on them for that-- in the We will be reunited quest, though, abyss sibling states that Dain is their enemy because HE did nothing to help khaenriah during the disaster- and now we find out that they're basically siding with the visionary-- something is very off with this because it's either one or the other-- and we just went through a whole quest about fake memories

I think the thing he feels guilty for is letting Lumine run astray and end up on the evil side of the abyss.

    The moment Traveler said they forgot what happened after they met Caribert, DANG! Their memory was altered by the Loom of Fate! Did it mean their fate already been weaved into the leyline via the Loom of Fate? Now they're indirectly bound into Teyvat fate. Like Dainsleif said in Teyvat Chapter Travail preview, "the treads of all fates will be yours to re-weave." So, imo, the moment the Loom of Fate take it full potential, it may be the moment the Traveler re-weave or alter all the fate in Teyvat. Because LoF have the potential to rival Irminsul, or maybe replace it.
    And the Inteyvat flower, imo, the Traveler use the same method as how Ei plant the sacred sakura tree. She planted it in the present, but the tree grew in the past. Maybe in the future, the Traveler will plant Inteyvat too.

    28:50 He might've been the 6th Pygmy (along with the other 5 sinners) to kill the Pale Princess. Now he regrets it and his penitence is punishing the other 5 pygmies. Remember, one pygmy wasn't so enthusiastic about the idea of killing the pale princess, but in the end, got peer pressured (or convinced) to do it. He might be blaming himself for that moment of weakness and seeks penance.

    If I’m not wrong, wasn’t Rhinedottir referred to as “Flower that is not of this world” in the 3.5 Hexenzirkel quest?
    Could she perhaps have either obtained the In Teyvats and used them to lure the twins in to help Khaenri’ah in some way?
    Or maybe she could be from the same world as the twins and she herself is the “Flower that is not of this world”.

    After all these Dainsleif quests I’m becoming more curious abt what Kaeya’s role in the future will be. I remember he responded to us asking him about Khaenri’ah with something like “There’s nothing left from Khaenri’ah except the sinners” meaning he knows that much despite only being a descendant of Khaenri’ans, meaning he’s been digging up some deep secret shits behind us all along. The severe lack of his appearance in the later versions is honestly killing me. Hoyo just tell me what’s my boy been up to 😭😭

      i think they kind canceled of his importance with how things are going. Seems like they planned something big but then decided to scrap that alltogether. They could've initially wanted to make a gacha system with a skin that gives extra powers like honkai and therefore, more story but as the game got bigger they realized new characters pull in more profits than that so kaeya will probably just get a cutscene or a small quest at the end.

    • @TheMantheon563

    • @mintyyy111
      @mintyyy111 6 місяців тому +9

      @@bloop4527 nah i believe they will give kaeya a very much bigger importance in the end game. things will 100% conclude in mondstadt where everything started (a gate to celestia is basically there which seems connected to venti and his statue). kaeyas mission is yet to be revealed and we haven’t been to khaenriah yet. Kaeya is linked to clothar alberich the founder of the abyss. he for some reason is not a hilichurl and has his right eye covered which is symbolic for odin (aka king irmin and the royal khaenrians). he’s a mysterious character so if they don’t turn him into a five star like dan heng, then hoyo is missing out on making that money (they love their bag, cmon!!). even in mona’s voice line it is hinted he will have to make a BIG decision one day. khaenriahs arc is his time to shine.

    Neat analysis!
    The Five Sinners have really been a point of interest for me. I'm kinda just a sucker for numbered groups like the Eleven Fatui Harbingers.
    One thing interesting I've noticed, in regards to Hroptatyr:
    In the Chinese description of the Mocking Mask artefact of the Pale Flame set, one of the lines reads as follows:
    "既然我的才学无法与*「贤者」*比拟,没能获得上一位王者的青睐,"
    which corresponds to "Since my level of learning could not compare with *the sages*, I failed to earn the favor of the previous ruler."
    The neat thing is, Hroptatyr's title, 'The Wise', is listed in Chinese as「贤者」.
    So rather than the sages, Pierro might be calling out Hroptatyr directly. My friends more versed in Chinese than myself tell me both options are a possibility, though the「」title brackets could indicate a 'proper-noun-ness' that favours the latter option.
    I would absolutely love if we got a Winter-Night's-Lazzo-esque trailer for the Five Sinners. Now THAT would be amazing.
    Once again, awesome video!

    Great video!!!! However, this part around 22:02 the Chinese text translates literally into "I don't want to mention it but he is indeed also my sibling, my brother." I don't think it is implying that ALL FIVE SINNERS are Dain's siblings. I didn't check the context tho but I think Dain was only referring to Vedrfolnir. Anyways, thanks for the recap and analysis!

    so, lumine beat dainslef, has the complete loom of fate by implication, then magically appears in a place where only remnants of the loom of fate; uutilising the ability to manipulate dreams, appears??
    I think the implication is that she uses her loom of fate to force her way into a dying domain, meet with traveller, then jump ship
    and then caribert, on the verge of death but now with access to the field tiller's eye (on lumine's body, or the complete loom of fate in general) was able to muster up a huge amount of strength as he's apparating; being able to rewrite everyone in the village's memories and create a photo in those final few minutes
    -which goes to show how strong the loom of fate is, half dead with no experience in the full ver (prior experience but still) could completely psychologically manipulate to intense detail an entire village and become to reality a manifested reflection of a scene AND bring that across dimensions, and this is all from third party access
    anyways, hoping shit gets real soon

    And speaking of Travail Dain's dialogues....
    That sounds kinda like the type of protagonist becoming antagonist, Eren telling his comrades to fight him or to step aside....
    Or Kevin letting Kiana, Bronya and Mei become Finality, Truth and Origin in order to fight and win against him, or lose; so they could use the Project Stigma however they wanted, or simply destroy it.... And the Project Stigma is literally the same, in overall terms, as the Loom of Fate (And let's remember Da Wei's love for Evangelion and FANTAAAAAAAA), so..... What if Dain ends up trying to follow the Abyss Order or, at least, the Sibling's plan to save Teyvat; but only after everything else seems to be just vain attempts to be reasonable with Celestia or something, like how Eren gave chancesto Marley to stop fighting, and how much he tried to find a way, a path where he wouldn't need to use the Rumbling, yet still ending in him using the Founding Titan's powers....
    "Defeat me. Make me step aside. Show me that you can save her. And you'll be able to rewrite the destiny", it really seems like something Kevin Kaslana would say while stealing Finality power to continue with the worst yet the, aparently, only chance to save everything that is left; the final chance to get everything back.

    26:20 I think its a mistake to simply assume "our sibling is too far gone". I think its much more reasonable to assume that "our sibling knows something we dont, the truth of this world" and has decided that going with the abyss is the better choice in order to solve whatever problem the world of Genshin has.
    It would be unbelieveably boring if all of this lore and build up ended with "no, the abyss sibling is simply wrong and dumb and they should have obviously chosen the path that we walked on for 5 years, their journey of 500 years was a nothing burger and everything they learned on that 500 year journey can be thrown away in favour of our random stroll through Teyvat." If Genshin main story ends with a sibling fight that our chosen playable sibling will win with the power of nakama and the abyss sibling suddenly switches over to our side like Sasuke - i will be dissapointed.

    I interpreted the photo as a goodbye gift from Caribert. He specifically said the complete loom of fate could create lay lines, and considering lay lines are the foundation of everything in teyvat creating lay lines could equal creating actual tangible things.

  • @ashy969
    @ashy969 6 місяців тому +1

    When I'd read that picture's description, I thought it tries to suggest, that neither Caribert nor his mind realm is truely gone. That he took the picture and while that realm collapsed, it did not really stop existing. That somehow the loom preserved it/him and once it reboots after the installment of the field tiller's eye, Caribert will find his way back to us...
    But yes, maybe I was just hoping for poor dude still being out there somehow...
    I also think that Dain will not be playable until after we fought him (which will likely be after Snezhnaya) and they didn't show his fighting so they can adjust it later (he has to be super strong and if they come out with new characters between showing his skills and our fight with him, that would set his mechanics into stone). Plus, we know he uses some abyss power or some otherworldly skill... So it might also be a clue of who he really is or such. And they don't want us to know those things yet.
    As for his question about trusting our sibling.. he seemed to either test our resolve, or connecting our situation to his (a sibling who betrayed us, a sibling who betrayed him). But we are not there, yet. Maybe we will not be there ever, as we might not be as vengeful as Dain. Or he might knows what is our sibling truely needs to be asahamed of...
    Anyways, it seems, his reason for breaking group from our sibling was due to her/him forging alliance with the Sinner (Dain's brother). Maybe there is more detail to the story, but ballpark...
    I am also not 100% sure that the her we miht be worthy to save is our sister. Because this game generally tried to avoid gender specific references (as wecould play either twin - why else would they let us choose). Could it be our mother? Could it be the premordial one? Maybe it is dead (believed to be dead) and so it doesn't respond to Focalors' scheming

    1) The sinner in the crystal is Vedrfolnir. Additionally, Vedrfolnir is my kin, my older brother.
    2) The sinners are my kin, including Vedrfolnir - my older brother.
    in other words, in the same way we take the first interpretation for the English text, the Chinese text also goes the same way
