This was my first time watching these! As of now, I've reacted to all current Genshin Impact character Demos from March, 26th 2020 - May 19, 2023. What a wild ride! This was so much fun, and I'm excited to dive into more Genshin Impact stuff in the near future!
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.

NOTE: At the time of the recordings I was not aware that 4 star and 5 star characters would have varied quality demos. So please keep that in mind when hearing my feedback. I went into this reaction and analysis 90% blind, so there is a VERY good chance that you and whoever else watches this is going to know way more about the Genshin campaign, world, characters and their personalities and abilities more than me. I could have gone back and re-reacted but then that wouldn't have been genuine...
Thank you for understanding. :)
I'm sure anyone mentioning the difference between 4 and 5 stars is trying to be informative and not toxic. Although I guess the toxic ones are always out there. There are also the Archons who are 5 stars, but held to a higher standard than most 5 stars.
@@PelfmiesterOf course! I pinned this comment more so because I felt dumb after realizing it. Haha
I imagine some could get upset over criticism as well, so this is a general reminder that I'm very much a noob and for my opinion to be taken lightly. 🙂
Well there's also ramp in quality as the game became popular and profitable. If I compare for example Klee's and Yaoyao's demos, then Yaoyao's comes out better in my opinion.
@@kasuhahe quality upgrade.. ah.. i remember how i used to write "please make another character demo for kaeya" (just for fun tho) in some of their surveys lol
so i guess #justiceforkaeya
@@TheRoschi why do you read fan fiction about the age of the characters? Officially, no character's age has been announced, and the developers have not confirmed it.
I love how the entire fandom as well as the game itself unanimously agreed that Kaveh's got cake. We appreciate a healthy dose of male fanservice 🙏
nah i love him but lets be honest he only got pancake 😭😭
@@hinori106why we talking about kaeya here
@@hinori106 the size aint crazy but the shape of his bunda sure makes up for it
Literally the same model for every tall male character
Reminds me of mine. 😅
While Cyno trailer make him look edgy, he isn't edgy at all, he's just serious when working, and nobody take him seriously outside of his work
I think I got a hint of that while watching Alhaitham's demo. Haha
Cyno is really cool.
he is,love the Egyptian theme too for his character design
MM. HIS DAD JOKES HAHA
@@TheRoschiand for me xiao is not edgy. He is just a sad character.
@@izzahzemino9436 Agreed.
The English voice direction for him butchered how the western fandom see him so badly, he sounds like an insufferable 13 year old trying too hard to be cool, whereas the original Chinese just sounds serious, quiet and somewhat distant, which is emulated well by the Japanese version.
Not the English voice actor's fault, but she just does not suit the role at all, I don't know what the voice director was thinking. He's a stoic, ancient war veteran with PTSD, not the guy with the black hoodie at the back of your class who constantly has My Chemical Romance blaring through his airpods and posts cringe on Tiktok.
A shining example of how important casting suitable voices are. The Asian fandom actually takes him seriously, but the EN fandom...it's sad how much they either infantilise or mock this guy, sometimes both.
I really can't stand the sound of his EN voice.
Nahida's trailer is probably the only one that requires you to play the story to understand, it does hit you harder once you know what's hapenning. 😢
Aaaahhhh poor Nahida D:
I mean I still dislike it even after that tbh
AGREED! the story still scarred in my heart 😭
Such a bittersweet ending of that main quest 🥲
The Archon quest ended and I still walked away feeling like I didn't do enough
For Collei: “Happy go lucky, doesn’t interest me too much…”
Oh boy, the manga tells a whole different story. Collei is definitely one of my favorite characters, I just wish she got more screen time in game!
I look forward to diving deeper some day. :)
I say this a s a fan of Collei we ate good with the windblume event like lets be honest many 4 stars wished they had something like that. And we just get to see more of her latest event
In trailer she looks carefree and aloof.
Until you realize that she stumbles not because she is a dojikko moe, but because of the coordination problems from... well her backstory.
In regards to Baizhu and Changsheng they are actually very deep characters. They take a lot of influence from a old Chinese legend called the White Snake where a doctor was married to a snake spirit. Baizhu is pure of heart, he desires immortality so he can keep saving lives and has a contract with Changsheng whom helps him treat patients. Unfortunately it left him frail and sickly so he's in a race against the clock to achieve his ambition of immortality not only for himself but for Changsheng as their relationship is symbiotic and she'll die without a host to take the contract. But he also wants it to prevent others taking the contract. Firefly symbolism in his trailer are in asia a romantic symbolism but also an allogory for his life. Many talk and spread rumors about him but in reality he's a very kind and good man that just wants to save lives.
Thank you for sharing! I love how deep these characters go.
@@TheRoschiand baizhu wasen't realesed for a long time we had to wait for years to finally come out and i'm happy he is here
@@Medinacrystalheart Me too, so much so I whaled a bit(got C2 :D). I adore our clever, kind healer.
@@WhiteKoneko yes me to
Wow! Didn't know that!!
41:27 Rosaria was actually originally part of a group of bandits, and raised from a baby by them. They were wiped out by the knights of favonius, and she killed the leader of the bandits (At the leader's request, so the knights would take her in) The knights ended up taking her in, and the leader had her go to the church as basically a coverup. What she really does is go after criminals and bandits and such at night, she is basically an assassin pretending to be a nun.
Oooohh that's really cool.
The character teasers usually give more insight into their personlaity, the trailers give you what you can expect in game like the character's abilities and combat.
I look forward to finding out more 😀
I love how you were the first person to notice Albedo and Klee are related 🥺 While they are not related by blood Klee's mom took care of Albedo so they are kinda like siblings and they have a very cute relationship! You also were the first to catch that Ayaka and Ayato were siblings ahaha Your analysis on some characters were so spot on, I look forward for more!
Thank you! I appreciate that. I'll do my best! 😁
@TheRoschi Klee is Albedo's cousin. and Klee's mom is Albedo's aunt
@diniodo5898 I mean, not to get too deep into lore but they truly are not related by blood, not to mention Albedo's blood is...well...
@@diniodo5898nope
Childe is pronounced just like "child", it's an old-fashioned english word for "Young master". Neither Tartaglia nor Childe is his real name - they are both Fatui nicknames. Tartaglia is a reference to Italian comedia dell'arte. And his real name is Ajax, which derives from ancient greek mythology.
The fandom calls him mr worldwide for a reason lmao. And yeah, he can switch weapons.
In regards Xiao his story very tragic. Hes a war vetern military general for his deity(who saved him and named him) and former slave of a very nasty god that made him do very bad things. He had a family he loved dearly that fought at his side but he watched as one by one they went mad and died due to karmic debt hurting them. His real name is Alatus and hes a bird yaksha. Sadly after that war he's constantly in pain and has take really powerful medicine. He acts edgy but hes actually very kind and gentle and is a man of his word and is slowly healing from his traumas, starting let people in. He's one of my favorite characters and come such a long way. ❤🥰🐦
Thank you for sharing that with me! :D
I love how deep it gets.
@@TheRoschi Yes he's come a long way. Even his pain from his karma is becoming manageable since meeting the protagionist twin you select. He goes from very guarded to slowly becoming more open. in fact when he appears for the very first time a song plays for him and only him called "Lover's Oath" ironically. I'm very proud of my favorite little 2000yr+ old bird.🥰
The Wanderer is such an extensive character, I'd very much recommend seeing his other lore/animatics, they are very cool
Definitely will at some point!
Dehya is the token "badass mercenary with a heart of gold," but spends a lot of her time in the story as a bodyguard. A theory about why the scene repeats in her demo is that Candace can see the future, and she saw that Dehya was going to be fighting people there. So the beginning was Candace seeing the fight happen in a vision, while the second time was what actually happened. BUT HER MUSIC IS THE BEST IN MY OPINION.
OOOHH I see, that makes more sense now. That's pretty cool~
Her demo was really good, and yeah the music was awesome! I really wish I spent time to talk about the music in these more but I naturally dive deeper into visuals (using my BFA in animation XD), and that was already time consuming to get into.
Candace can see the future iirc. She mentions it in her demo. “I’d love to look into your future with my amber eye”
(Ohh okay thank you)
@@elainasynranelt Yeah but she follows that up with "if I could." Lots of people spread rumours about Candace, but in her collected miscellany Dainsleif implies that all the rumours aren't true, and Candace takes a much more realistic view of things.
YES.
Shenhe is canonically a girlboss, she fought 6 days when she was a sacrifice to a dark God because of her father. She killed the God, adopted by the adepti. She is one of the STRONGEST non God characters
She's so cool!
you forgot to say the fact that she was like 5 at that moment
1:40:00 Yes! As a Tighnari Main, I love this character so freaking much. I think you nailed his personality just from that one demo lmao and I have noticed that someone has already mentioned the VA issue. Not gonna mention much more than that but of course Character is not the same as Voice Actor so yeah. Tighnari is a very wholesome but strict mentor to Collei (you probably noticed he showed up at the end of her demo) and he's a botanist, hence the "all over the place" design. He usually picks up flowers and stuff from the rainforest and likes to use them as trinkets, so his design is all full of that. Pretty sure there are some irl cultural references when it comes to the colors too. He is based off of Fennec Foxes, which is why his ears are the way they are (u can look them up if you haven't heard of them). He is one of the smartest from Sumeru Akademiya but after he graduated he basically didn't want to have anything to do with it so he could focus on protecting the Forest, which is where he lives now. His research helps with cataloguing wildlife from both the forest and the desert, as well as point out which plants or mushrooms are dangerous and/or essential for the ecosystem. I think he's amazing...
lmao sorry for the long comment I felt I had to mention this xd thanks for the reaction (Genshin forever! lmao)
Thank you for the info AND being a legend. :)
My man ..Collei has like one of the most dark and traumatic backstory of all genshin characters. If you would read the genshin manga (which is kinda like a prequel to the game) you would see how different she used to be
I plan on making a series which focuses on character analysis, so I'll definitely get to a point where I look into that for her! Thank you for the suggestion. :)
no use having a cool backstory when the game itself refuses to elaborate more, which is a shame
Qiqi is a ‘zombie’ in English because that’s the closest approximation we have to what she actually is, which is a jiāngshī- an undead being particular to Chinese folklore and doesn’t have a direct equivalent in the West. Qiqi was reanimated by adepti (kind of demi-gods in Liyue), and ended up in Baizhu’s care and serves as an assistant at his pharmacy, constantly avoiding Liyue’s funeral director who would like to make her cross over properly someday. Her monotonous way of talking is pretty on point for what you’d expect, even if it doesn’t seem like it matches at first.
Venti is a pretty cool character. He was once a wind spirit and the story of how he became a god and an archon after getting caught up in a war against a tyrant is pretty interesting. How he took the form he currently has is part of the story you learn in his character quest, too. Incidentally, he’s also a lush who constantly schemes to get a hold of a drink. His constant appearance as a hapless drunk disarms some into thinking he’s negligible, but it’s possible he’s holding the largest lore bombs in the game. He’s friendly, but secretive, and we think he knows a lot more than he lets on. In some ways he’s kind of a clown (in the theatrical sense), but he is very clever and utilizes being underestimated (he’s just a bard, after all) as an advantage. Combat wise, he’s a crowd control and swirl unit- which can do a devastating amount of damage to mobs.
Yeah as I stated 8n the reaction, I'm interested in Qiqi and don't mind her voice, it's just that her character animations are quick and bubbly while her way of speaking isn't. It's NOT terrible, but I agree that it would take some time to get used too. Regardless, her story seems very interesting.
From the comments here about Venti, I have more respect. As I do about many of the characters I talked about. The trailer alone didn't appeal to me, but I can see how he's a lot deeper than what is let on. Which is cool.
haven't seen anyone else mention this, so here's stuff about the weapons:
There's five weapon types - Bow, Sword, Polearm, Claymore, and Catalyst (magic) - and there's loads of different weapons for each type. However, some characters have additional items in their skills (Childe's Hydro blades, Shinobu's wacky sword) or unique animations (Heizou punching people instead of more "standard" Catalyst animations, Al-Haitham's double swords).
Thanks fro the info! I appreciate it.
Next is every version trailer from 1.0 to 3.7(the latest update) hahaha
Absolutely! ...but I think that may have to be split into more than one video. 💀
@@TheRoschi sure lol
@@TheRoschiyou may want to wait till the end of the week since the 3.8 trailer should be dropping this week.
@@Leggoo383 Realistically, I wouldn't be able to get to it till next week anyway, but that's good to know! I'll remember this, just in case. Thank you. 😁
Never fails to bring a smile to my face everytime a newcomer checks Genshin. It's goddam elating.
Love the format you used here, where you mostly watched through a demo with a few comments here and there (no fake over the top enthusiasm) and then did analysis after. Also appreciate that both the volume of the video you were watching and your own volume were pretty equal. Too many times people have them way off from each other, making for a frustrating viewing experience.
I subbed and will definitely watch more from you.
I'm glad you liked my format! It was very intentional. I'm not one to fake reactions for the sake of attention, I understand why, of course. However, I'd rather remain being myself and hopefully in time will form an audience that genuinely enjoys this type of analysis, like yourself.
I'm not the best when it comes to audio but I am learning and relearning a lot of editing stuff in general and will hopefully continue to improve. Thank you!
Thank you again for your comment and for subbing, legend. 😁
Interesting thoughts on the characters, gj.
What I like about Dehya's trailer, we get to know the tempers of two desert girls. While Dehya is a mercenary, Candace is the protector of Aaru village.
While fiery Dehya tries to reason with more wild mercenaries by roughing them up, usually calm Candace just goes for the kill. I snickered a bit when Dehya hurried to block the spear and make an excuse.
It's a great dynamic! :D
I kinda like how you carefully analyze the content of the demos and not just focus on the aesthetics of it. You actually thought about the relation of their personalities to the skills like with Alhaitham. It's a fascinating perspective that I never had despite being an old Genshin player
Thank you. I'm glad you appreciate how I go about my videos. :)
Venti- Aside from being the first character we meet aside Paimon, he's a lot to unpack in one go. He's the embodiment of "More than what meets the eye" and that goes to even his current form. Watching the teasers and if you're open for more spoilers, cutscenes, would give you at least a gist of how this bard goes about his life and even his way of being an Archon ( A god who governs a nation).
Gameplay-wise, his crowd control is what had me farm essentially better than I usually do and my opinion may be kinda biased because yes, I am a Venti main haha. But he's really good.
Putting everything aside, your reaction is refreshing. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. Subscribing for more of your content.
I've learned a bit more about Venti since this recording and my opinion has certainly changed. I can't say that he's my favorite BUT I have respect for the guy. I look forward to seeing more about him along with many others.
I'm glad you enjoyed my reaction! I appreciate your support. :D
@@TheRoschi Venti's the only archon so far without a second story quest. We're all hoping Hoyoverse will release his second story quest at some point as Venti might have some deep and important lore to reveal. He's definitely more than meets the eye! Also who doesn't love a happy and cheerful drunk. lol
As far as the currently state of Genshin, in about 6 weeks we're going to be arriving in an entirely new nation called Fontaine in version 4.0. Very excited to meet a new cast of characters, along with the hydro archon. I'm sure there will be more character demos for you to react to when we get there. :)
Venti was also the first limited character, on the event wish banner for the first 20 days of the game's launch. He's also the most broken character in the game, from a mechanics standpoint. He single-handedly trivializes 90% of the game, which made him extremely popular early-on. He's not as popular on developed accounts, since Genshin is a pretty easy game overall, so Venti is like a cheat code for a game that's not hard enough to bother cheating. But his very existence has fundamentally altered how HoYo designs encounters in Genshin, forcing them to use more heavy enemies that aren't lifted into Venti's burst's whirlwind, since that's the only way to make his burst not an instant "I win" button.
I can't believe it took me this long to realize Wanderer didn't have a description in his demo "showcase the character with their name and element" moment.
Here's what I have to say :
1- i love how knowledgeable and logical your analysis are. You seem to be a man of culture. Subscribed
2- I would love to see you react to all version trailers and all "collected miscellanies" ( both have playlists in the official genshin channel) As well as the fatui trailer in the official channel as well, i know this late one can have spoilers but it's from very late phase of the story so you won't get it, it's just for how great and amazing it is and your thoughts about the execution.
3- you talked about Tighnari VA, he was replaced, now tighnari voice is not the same as in the demo, because the original VA is a bad person (harassment / pedophilia etc.. Towards his fans) he was replace by Zachary Gordon ( who playable diary of a whimpy kid or something, a childhood movie you probably recognize)
- can't wait for your future videos, new fan here.
1. Thank you very much, I appreciate that a lot! I want to get better at it. ...I 'd like to think I'm a man of culture. :)
2. I definitely plan to react and analyze more Genshin stuff in the near future.
3. I remember Max0r making a reference to that! It hadn't clicked in my head till recently that it was this character. Ah so messed up.
I look forward to hearing the new guy (diary of a whimpy kid does sound VERY familiar).
Thank you for your support. I hope I can continue to entertain. :D
1:13 Well, Kaeya is my favorite character and I main him even though most people say he isn’t all that strong.
13:53 When Venti was released he was (and still is) a very strong character. People also used Venti to troll other people when domain rewards were collected. The rewards used to be dropped on the floor and Venti mains would use his burst to pull all the drops off the edge.
21:34 Childe’s main weapon is a bow but one of his abilities is to produce Hydro blades that he can fight with. Childe has two burst animations because of this, a bow one and a blade one. Lore-wise Childe is proficient with every weapon but he isn’t as good with a bow as he should be and therefore he’s a bow character.
24:12 Xinyan’s English voice has a southern accent because in the original language (Chinese) she has more of a rural dialect.
24:25 Zhongli’s demo is the most viewed coming in at 31 million views
30:05 You hit the nail on the head with that one. Klee’s mother, Alice, sees Albedo as her son and Albedo sees Klee as his younger sister.
33:35 Ganyu is an adeptus which is an illuminated beast. She is half human and half Qilin which is a Chinese mythological creature.
36:13 Xiao is a fan favorite and TONS of people adore him.
53:50 Sayu is a ninja
1:01:19 Sara is a tengu which is a mythological creature in Japanese folklore.
1:07:32 Thoma has acquired the nickname “male-wife” because he cooks, he cleans, he knots, he sews, and he takes care of people.
1:30:50 “Bad boy” oh no, this guy isn’t a bad boy. That is a himbo, like Bokuto level himbo 😂
1:29:58 My thought process exactly 😂🤣
1:39:43 No, no, everything personal towards THAT voice actor. Tighnari has a new voice, now he’s voiced by Zachary Gordon.
1:43:21 It is a bad thing when she scams people- Which she does on a regular basis
2:02:04 Yep, that’s Wanderer for you-
2:18:52 The mutual agreement throughout the community that Kaveh is babygirl is hilarious. There hasn’t been this much agreement since the one year anniversary rewards
2:21:52 Well, we’ve been waiting for Baizhu for two years same as Wanderer, almost ALL of early game players were hyped for his release. Again, we’ve been waiting two years.
Omg yes!! My first thought when I saw him was that he was similar to Bokuto to!! They’re both just big dorks that we can’t help but love 🫶🏽
TIgnari's style is heavily referenced from tribes in North Africa (as I saw the explanation on Twiitter) and most them aren't the big or mass cultural groups. This is why most people feel that his design is all over the place.
AH! I see. I'll have to look into that more so I can better understand it. Thank you for sharing. :)
@@TheRoschi You're welcome ! And I may add that his design is specifically from Maghrab region that people there always wear colorful clothing. I saw tweet explain in this issue but it seem that I can't post it in the comment.
all the characters have enough personality that you can't put it in trailers
Yanfei is a lawyer but she is also half "beast" and in her "perfect world" when if the world didn't need law enforcers and lawyers her dream would be to be a rapper
Kujou Sara is a Tengu(Yokai) she is a general of an army and she forces herself to be correct and serious all the time but that all goes down the drain when she blurts out that she is a complete Raiden Shogun simp
Of course! But some even among 4 stars did it better than others. It's impossible to understand everything right away, it's all first impressions here.
I love that tidbit about Kujou Sara 😂😂😂
@@TheRoschi just showing how even serious characters have comical traits in their personalities like Xiao who likes almond tofu and seeing fireworks even though he is this killing machine
@@Keiki-kun Honestly, that's some of the best kind of stuff. Makes these grandiose characters relatable.
That's a great observation about Nahida! 90% accurate in fact
Woooooo!!!
The exact ages of each characters in Genshin Impact aren't officially confirmed, which I think Hoyoverse's intention for those artists from the rule of the half almost 69 to go wild with their imagination. Except for Klee or a few character of course.
The only character we know the exact age is Kaveh, iirc.
Funny how you didn't care for Gorou but really liked Itto.
In gameplay they are pretty much glued to the same team.
yeah, 4 star characters normally don't get much spotlight in comparison to 5 stars, that's why some demo's seem less impressive.
btw I do like Gorou he's a good boy.
Maybe I'm a minority idk, but I like every single character in the game, I mean, I would think they're kinda made to be likeable or charming in some way and maybe i'm just not that particular because I end up enjoying them all.
I'm happy that you enjoy all of the characters! You do you, ya know?
I'm the opposite where I tend to think about some things too much and that can cause me to be overly critical at times, which can definitely put some people off even if it wasn't my intention.
I'd have to watch them both again to see if I could understand their connection... Having no prior knowledge of these characters in-game or how they work, I'm not so sure I'd pick up on that.
Itto and Gorou both had VERY different demos. Itto was by far 1000x more fleshed out (being a 5 star) and Gorou's just wasn't (unfortunately). I'm sure he is a good boy, and in all honesty I'm not opposed to learning more. :D
@@TheRoschi Haha, well yeah, they do have a little bit of an interesting relationship, it's actually quite a funny one but I won't spoil it.
I was more talking about what their roles are in game. Itto is a DPS that does Geo elemental damage and he scales with his Defense stat and Gorou is THE Geo damage buffer and also buffs the defense stat of the entire party, so pretty much made to be played together.
@@mantisprayer Ah ok. I'm obviously not well versed with their mechanics and combos as of yet but thank you for filling me in. I appreciate it.
I look forward to maybe seeing more of this unique relationship they have. ☺️
watching this right now and you really analyzed and commented on every trailer very well!
I did my best! Thank you. :D
Loved your takes on some of the characters 😂. Great job keep it up. Genshin forever!
Thanks for watching, legend! 😁
Gotta say the thing since I got all the way to the end... genshin forever!! I really enjoyed all the reactions and the way you paid so much attention to the details with each character.
Wanderer is my favorite character in the game and I've mained him ever since he came out, so I was very happy to see you enjoy his demo and point out the unsettling and sinister vibes about it, also you were pretty spot on about his personality. All the dark vibes are there for a reason, this character is unique in that he was first introduced to us as one of the major villains in the game but has since had a redemption arc of sorts and he's now just a wanderer with no ties and a dark past.... also fun fact, i dont know if you noticed but he's the only character who doesnt have any kind of description about him alongside the splash art sceen on his demo.... no information about him whatsoever, so mysterious.....
Thank you, you legend! I appreciate it that you sat through all of my blabbering haha.
Wanderer really did feel unique. They did a great job telling us about him without directly forcing exposition. The fact that they purposely left out info told volumes more than what most people probably realize. This is definitely an example of speech being silver, while silence is golden.
Oh that's correct I never noticed the missing description even though I have watched it so many times until today haha
Childe is pronounced like 'child'. He doesnt have 2 weapons as in... he won't require 2, only a bow. But he is very unique in that he will have 2 stances, a bow stance and a melee (hydro swords)
I dig it. 😎
I died laughing when you asked if the snake would also come lol
Glad I could make you laugh haha
love seeing your reactions on the demos and glad that you noticed how the quality has improved from the oldest to the latest one, the team has putted tons of love in making this game and improving their work. One thing also worths knowing is that the regions in the game, are based off real world nations, the team have done lots of research on a big variety of different regional culture, histories and natural features of those regions and relevant religious stories when they design those areas as well as those characters in the game, it's a very cool thing to explore those details and realize how good they are in relating their designs and values to real cultural stuffs in a positive way, other than just making a character intuitively looked nice and popular.
Glad you enjoyed yourself! This was a very fun video to make. 😁
I really liked your reaction. And I like how you actually took the time to share your thoughts after each trailer.
It was fun listening to someone who hasn't played the game. You should definitely check out more stuff like version trailers etc. but be careful about getting spoiled. There are some things better experienced through playing the story.
Also I am Xiao and Alhaitham simp and I main them. There is much more to the both of them than shown in trailers. But you picked up on a lot of things that I was surprised by. Many people miss those.
Hope to see more genshin content if you enjoy doing it!
I'm glad you liked my reaction and my thoughts! Both of those characters are very badass. :)
I will be watching more Genshin stuff in the future for sure.
oh wow cool I always love new reactions to Genshin!!
Nice! I hope you enjoyed it. :D
I love watching reactions to character trailers, and I really liked the way you pick up on details. Elements of costumes, characters, banal relationships between characters (I think for the first time someone noted that Ayaka and Ayato are brother and sister), that you know the mythology and aesthetics of Japan, it was also very nice to hear that you could appreciate this or that combination.
By the way, the banner of Bai Zhu turned out to be a failure, the fees on it were really very small, although a lot of players were waiting for him for a very long time. As for Mika's voice in the English voice acting, I absolutely agree, it hits the ears a lot. Tignari's design is ok for me, although I agree that there are a lot of elements in his clothes
I'm glad you liked it! I'm going to do my best to keep this kind of format for the majority of what I react to on this channel. I feel like it's my niche. Thank you! ☺
Some fun facts about some of the characters
Yunjin actually does Chinese Opera. I recommend reacting to “Divine Damsel of Devastation” which uses actual Chinese opera mixed with a modern sound for the cutscene.
Nilou is based off of traditional Iranian dancing. In one specific cutscene for the story would really show it, I can’t wait for you to get to that part in the story!
And lastly Baizhu is based off of the Chinese story/legend of the doctor and the white snake. There are many iterations of the story itself, but I find the fact his character is based off of it very fascinating
A little correction: The quest with Yunjin is not from a limited time event.
hehe, genshin forever! I recommend watching the character teasers and the version trailers. They're also very interesting. And if you don't mind spoilers you could also react to story teasers.
Then I will do just that! Thank you for being a legend. 🙏
First time reaction + you play/played the game. That's exactly the combo I'm looking for in genshin reactions, thank you, subbed
I played very VERY little, but I suppose I absorbed a bit through osmosis as well. Haha
I look forward to learning more and being pleasantly surprised.
Thanks for subscribing! 😁
@@TheRoschi I just finished watching, great reactions. :D I hope you could get back to playing some time in the future and maybe even record your playthrough, I'd love to watch you play and experience the entire story. It starts slow, but it gets really good in later regions.
It still amazes me how such a mobile/f2p game can be so good. It easily rivals AAA games, one can easily see the amount of heart and passion mihoyo's pumping into this project.
Ah, I forgot. Genshin forever
Genshin forever indeed, been loving this game since 2020. Great reaction video, can't wait to see what you do next
Thank you, Legend! Glad you like the game and my reaction haha
Whatever comes next, I will do my best. :)
Genshin forever! I loved seeing your face try to understand what was going on in Wanderer’s demo lol
Thank you, Legend!
Wanderer's demo was a trip and a half in an awesome way. haha
Dori's story is kinda fun. She captured a genie, but she has so much money she consents him, and she uses him just for fighting. Reverse-genie.
One advise for when playing poker: you move your lips a lot when you find something you like
WHAT-
I'm going to try and catch myself doing that now haha
1:55:00 yup Nahida is very very important character, she will appear in Sumeru region Archon Quest
I'm only halfway through your reaction and so far I'm thoroughly enjoying your analysis and insight on each character! A lot of them are spot on and it's been super entertaining to watch you break them down piece by piece. Great video and keep up the good work!
Thank you so much! I'm really glad that you like my format. I'll definitely do my best to keep it up. 😊
Faruzan isn't actually inspired by Hatsune Miku its just a meme amongst the Fandom because she resembles her since they both have blue/teal colored pigtails lol
Wanderer is by far the most Important character for the story. He is like the only character who's story spans multiple regions and nations.
34:58 Not really edgy, more like jaded by his life experiences as a long-lived being.
47:14 Quick thing to note about Kazuha in relation to the game’s version history, he is in fact the first character from Inazuma to be released. Granted, he came out before the Inazuma version update. And to further going into how popular he is, Kazuha is one of those characters that many seasoned players do recommend pulling for, given how much of a staple he is for elemental reaction teams. Which is in part due to Anemo reactions spreading applied elements onto other enemies, setting up for more reaction damage to pile up. This is in addition to Kazuha’s elemental skill which deals anemo damage while grouping enemies together, and then his burst creating an area that increase elemental damage and deals damage in that area, on top of being able to increase damage output by taking in any anemo reactive element. And ironically enough, Kazuha’s banner is up again currently.
1:14:18 Not really that per se, more like the different attitudes each character holds themselves to. Since for Gorou, he is essentially Kokomi’s second in command.
1:16:20 Honestly this is more you picking up how the character teasers have evolved over time. And In regards to the vocalization at the end, the opera that she refers to is Peking style opera, which is a well respected but dying art in China. And to further mail how much Hoyo puts into their work, the singing voice is done by a professional Peking opera singer.
1:19:51 In regards to the auntie bit, with context of Shenhe’s character story and Chongyun’s voice-overs, she is essentially an estranged blood relative from his family of exorcists.
1:26:51 That is pretty on point, since Ayato was thrusted into his position due to being the clan’s eldest heir. Though overall his character can be summed to be noblesse oblige
1:27:13 Fatui are essentially the international arm of Sheznaya’s military forces, think of them as an international KGB so to say, since Sheznaya’s culture is based on Russia. With the Fatui harbingers being the highest command second to the region’s archon, the Tsaritsa.
1:32:56 Pretty much😂
1:34:48 Heizou is in fact a catalyst user, which you can see a glimpse of before he heads into battle.
1:36:34 Let’s just say, that given her past, that kind of happiness has been well earned. Since Collei has actually been an established character for the game, since her starting appearance in the official webtoon manga, which covers some events that occur prior to the start of the game.
1:37:04 With the Sumeru update, came the access to the Dendro element for playable characters. Hence why the first 4 and 5 star from the region are both Dendro.
1:43:24 Dori is essentially a merchant, and a very eccentric one at that.
2:25:17 I mean this does expand a bit into Inazuma’s culture, as Yokai coexist with human society be it from living in solidarity or being part of it(other examples being Itto, Sara, and Yae)
Yeah tbh he's pretty edgy ngl, I love Xiao though
@@sanxxxx Granted Xiao as a character is jaded, just that the eng dub direction went for edgy over somber brooding.
Man, I loved your reactions!
Thanks for watching them!
Thanks for this.
Wanderer is my absolute favorite character in this game. His lore is crazy. And my heart breaks every time i rewatch the cutscenes... Or his character teaser.
His gameplay is incredible, like, Maxor didn't lie, he literally allows you to fly and throw wind blades and mini blackholes at everyone haha
Also a huge Wanderer fan for the depth of his character/stories. If anyone was to ask who was my favorite, I can't say Wanderer cause he's in a higher league than that lmao. Very hard to explain where he ranks cause damn....damn MHY for such a story but bless them too
Absolutelly love your description of characters 🤣 Also great vid generally, hope you will continue enjoying Genshin trailers in future !
I'm glad you enjoyed it! I definitely plan to look into more Genshin stuff. ☺️
@@TheRoschi Love to see it, stay awesome! .. also Genshin 4eva ❤️
@@KkeojyeoOW Thank you, Legend. 😌
Really liked your commentary of every character, glad UA-cam recommended you cause this was a fun ride, so new sub gotten, and genshin forever haha.
I'm glad you enjoyed it! I'll do my best to keep it up. Thank you so much, Legend. 😁
I like your good and honest reactions plus when you giving your personal opinion, not too hype like some other reactions video. PERFECT
I'm happy you enjoyed!
I'm just being me. :)
"Phrasing" lmao...subbed. You're a cool person and I like that you go over these videos with thought. Really looking forward to you reacting to more from this game cause the stories are wild. I recommend Scaramouche boss battle theme (all phases) if you really like some banger music. Teaser trailers are also good, but only if you're alright with spoilers.
Also, the game has a looooong way to go still, so there will definitely be more characters. There's also going to be an anime, so you can react to the teaser trailer for that as well 😁
Thank you so much, I'm glad that you liked it! :D
I will continue making videos, including Genshin stuff of all kinds. I'm not too worried about spoilers because by the time I'll get around to playing again I'll probably forget a lot of it.
I had no idea there was going to be an anime... Interesting!
2:22:28 Baizhu's story is so good, he gives some of his life time to prevent other from dying, and even sometimes he absorbs some of his patient's cold or whatsover so they'll feel better
Gives me 'The giving Tree' or 'The Giver' vibes. I actually had a dream where I had those kinds of abilities. It was very intense... I've respect for this guy. 👍
Good analysis, good luck on your content.
Thank you!
woahh really loved the reaction also the edits were really funny😁😁 I find it so cool that you're going further down this rabbit hole. To answer some of your questions. About Venti, I actually really enjoy his character mostly for the personality and lore, which is very interesting but I won't spoil it since I'm not quite sure how much you still know/remember. And about the power levels of the characters well there are some really good characters meta wise but since Genshin is not really a hard game you can make almost every character work. Also if you are interested in the lore of the characters then I'd recommend also watching the character teasers/trailers they give some more information and are actually very interesting. But anyway really enjoyed the vid. It was very funny😅
I'm glad you enjoyed the video! It's cool that you like Venti. I'm looking forward to learning more from the teasers etc. 😁
2:22:00 baizhus also been an npc in the game since 1.1 so people have been waiting a long time for him to become playable
Loved the reactions 🤍✨
Thank you! :D
Good video please keep reacting to genshin maybe consider playing someday and we're getting really close to the next region i really like your reaction
Thank you! I'm glad you liked it. I will keep doing my best, and one day I may try picking it up. :)
As impressive as ever, Genshin will stay forever in my heart ❤️
Another one into Rabbit hole, Good
And so it begins...
Your impressions are spot on lol
Wow! Thank you! :D
Don't know if someone already explained that or not but whenever you see a demo that is a little underwhelming and short it means that the character is a 4 star character and the rest of demo's that are longer and are with animated special bits, those are 5 star characters :]
Yes, I mention this in the pinned comment for this video. 😅
But no worries, you're not the only one to miss it, and I appreciate that you're just lookin' out.
It makes a lot of sense. As you can see, at the time of the recording I was pretty confused. Lol
@TheRoschi I didn't think to look at the comment but you're welcome 😅
This was a great video, I really enjoyed it. :)
You should also watch the Genshin Impact version trailers too, because they are very cool. ♥
I'm glad you liked it! I plan on watching a lot of Genshin stuff, including the version trailers. :)
You noticed some really good points about the characters! Great reaction
Thank you!
It's always fun to see people's reactions to Genshin Demos, you got many correct guesses for most of them!!
I just wanna say Dori's demo is a lot of fun to see haha, and I really like Tignari 😊
Thank you! I appreciate that.
I respect your choices. There's so many cool characters it's hard to have a favorite.
1:55:02 the way you figured nahida’s personality right away from the first try is just amazes me, im looking forward to everything that you’ll do on this channel with genshin, its so fresh to have someone like you in the community
Genshin forever! 😄 It was so nice to see your reactions to all the character demos, and it's really cool how you picked up on so many cultural backgrounds hinted at. And you also got the vibes and story hints of a lot of them so right! What I enjoy most about Genshin is that it really makes a culturally diverse and massive world with so many likable characters. Hoyoverse also just puts so much more effort into every trailer with their production value always just rising and it's cool to see all the demos just evolving as time goes ahead. If you're interested in more Genshin Impact i can recommend watching the character trailers that give a little more backstory and a little less spectacle than the demos. Or maybe even the version trailers if you find the world interesting enough :)
In any case, thank you for making it through all the demos and giving your impressions on the -booba and cake- character designs as well! 😄 You got a new subscriber for sure!
Thank you, Legend. I appreciate it. I'll continue to check out more Genshin stuff from time to time. This a was a lot of fun.
I appreciate the support. :D
Great reaction, really loved how you would pause and talk about each individual demo before moving on to the rest! I could easily agree with, or at least, understand all of your takes. Can't wait for more content from you. Would love to see you react to the Version Trailers and Character Teasers. While the demos are meant to show off how the character looks in game, the teasers tease the characters personality and/or story without showing any gameplay.
"Genshin forever!"
Thank you for watching, Legend! 😁
This is definitely a format that I plan on keeping so I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Also, thank you at the very least for understanding or trying to whether or not you 100% agreed with me on my takes. I appreciate your logic haha.
I definitely plan on reacting to more Genshin in the near future.
@@TheRoschi
Agreed with most and thought everything you said was very reasonable! Looking forward to more!
1:55:18 Nahidas story is massive to the game and i lover so much ;0; Along with the wanderer as well
The trigger warning before Raiden's trailer cracked me up 🤣
...you're welcome?
I like your reaction very much!
Thank you! :D
enjoy the world of genshin. i must say. there are some takes that are spot on.
Thanks! Good to know. :D
Genshin desert is probably the best region if you're all about exploration. It's a bit overwhelming if you aren't
I love to explore while simultaneously being overwhelmed. Whenever I go outside I just start screaming until I reach my destination.
You pretty much nailed it with your thoughts on Nahida. If you want to know more then just watch "Nahida: Happy Birthday" and well, it pretty much lays it out
One of these days I'll definitely do that! Thank you for the suggestion. :)
OH! Just so you know Tighnari’s voice actor that is featured in the demos and trailers is no longer his voice actor. For reasons that are valid and reasonable he had to be re casted so he no longer sounds like that. His new English voice is Zachary Gordon instead of Eliot Gindi.
there is a difference between 4 stars and 5 stars
the trailers of the 4 stars are focused on personality while the 5 stars are focused on cinematics this has nothing to do with lack of effort because in-game the 4 stars get special quests with several different endings and that are replayable while the 5 stars only get one mission with a story you can only do once
I'm aware, thank you. I pinned a comment about it. 👍
I would say from what I've seen though, there is just as much personality if not more in the 5 star demos (not all of them of course). Regardless, I'm excited to learn more from the teasers.
It's cool to know that there are special quests revolving around the 4 stars. 😁
@@TheRoschi they are called hangout events they are literally visual novels with the characters where you go on an adventure with them and depending on what you say and choose you end up with a different ending
nice reaction video, and very dedicated too (I didn't realize that all of it will take 2+hours holy shid). what I liked the most whit this video is you stating very clear what you like and dislike, and explaining it why in a good way because some of the reactions content creator I watched have a boring reaction (goes for "like them all" and seems to afraid of the fandom)
It took me 6 hours to record... So much was cut from it. :')
AND thank you. I've had a few people get angry for the way I've spoken about the game, or their favorite character, but that's on them. Everyone is entitled to their opinion and if I can't share mine then why bother doing any of this. Haha
Genshin also has Character teaser trailers, they tend to be a little more character/story focused to give more of introduction to the character's personality. I highly recommend watching them, because they can add a lot of depth the demos dont have. Also they only have them for the 5 star characters, so there are much fewer ones so it wouldnt take as long to watch.
In terms of the comment you made around the hype of Venti:
The hype and excitement for many characters, especially the important ones in the story is built up from their lore and story we have from them. Archons and Harbingers, if you keep playing you'll know who they are, just about always have the most hype for their release.
I just thought I'd let you know 👍
Yeah that's fair. I change my 'tude about Venti in the teasers video because I was educated in the comments. :)
Fun fact: Wanderer is probably one of or THE most anticipated for character this game has had. And he didn’t disappoint one bit, he’s definitely one of the best written characters also. There’s a lot to his story before his release so his trailer was less abt him and more abt his abilities.
Its a big cast of characters u can pull for these days and even then u can see how the demo's improve from the early days to today's ones, regardless if they are 4 or 5 star character demo's.
On another note, why the angst over what the age is of some characters? just enjoy them as they are.
Besides, the real age of some these characters goes in the hundreds if not thousands of years.
tighnari’s voice went through some changes recently,,, his original English voice actor was caught grooming minors online, and he was fired,,, and for a bit in events and stuff tighnari didn’t talk bc they didn’t have a new va for him yet,,, but they’ve had a new one for a few months I think and they’ve replaced all old voice lines of his with new ones done by his new va! also fun fact: his new va is zachary gordon who is a voice actor and a live action actor! you definitely know him bc he played greg heffley in the diary of a wimpy kid movies! (there’s so many memes ab that on twitter)
mr. roschi: (about itto) is this the bad boy?
me, immediately: ...no that's the himbo
Ah. Fair enough.
2:13:51 It was the same instance, from two different camera angles. You'll notice the other guy also repeats his line.
Yes, I realize this now! It's actually very cool. :)
Not sure if you'll see this or if anyone else have said it already, but in regards to Dehya's "saying it twice" thing. It's not 100% proven but a lot of people speculate the first time Dehya's sequence plays, it was Candace having future sight/perceiving the future of another with her amber/left eye. Hence why the first sequence had parts that were in the pov of the merc/enemy and why she showed up at the end of the trailer
I’ve never heard that !! That’s actually so freaking cool
Loved the video. Have you already seen Nahida's story quest? the trailer will make a lot of sense when you see it, and yes, her story is very very important.
Thank you!
Unfortunately this is all that I've seen so far other than Max0r's Genshin reviews. I do plan on checking out more in time. :)
The best way i can sort of explain the edginess of Xiao's demo is its....sort of the only fate he's come to accept for himself. He believes all he's good at and good for is to be a weapon, and no matter how hard he fights to protect Liyue, there's going to be a day he falls to his karma and will have to be put down 🥲 hence why I find it interesting that when we first meet him in game, and honestly fairly often when we meet up with him, the song that plays is called Lover's Oath, considering some of his voicelines about the traveler. I hope his story somehow ends happily, considering all he's done for Liyue
All very valid. I actually made a mistake here and used the word edgy when I meant to say angsty. I confuse the two sometimes.
I explain my thoughts about him properly in my Version Trailers part 1 video, when I react to 'All That Glitters'. :)
@@TheRoschi it's alright! I just tend to get really up in arms about him, he was my first 5* and his story has really gotten to me 😅😅
Ooo!! I shall check it out once I'm done with this video! Currently at the part about Al-Haitham ^^
Yanfei: There's actually something else going on there than being a 4-star. She's one of those characters who fails to appear during the "main" story in that region; she points out if she'd happened to run into you the order of events might have been radically different (in retrospect, likely a bit for the worse from every perspective, and you may actually have been kept away from each other). She was summarily added into the world alongside with the playable version of already-known Zhongli... but was introduced with a new storyline whose hidden purpose is to ensure you meet and spend time hanging out with her, and with an initial presentation and unique reward which ensured pretty much everybody would be eager to dive right into it. The demo was brief because it was less about selling you on her than to acknowledge she does in fact now exist in the game - and in a playable form, and it focuses on her combat style because during that lengthy first meeting absolutely no occasion to see her fight arises. (While, obviously from the antlers, Yanfei is a nonhuman who is qualified to do work that requires the less-than-completely mortal, and can take care of herself quite well, she considers her legal services and connections far more valuable to society than magical or martial might.)
1:45:01 The last game i remember playing in the desert is in Ragnarok online mobile, so i have no great comparison to talk about.. but Genshin's desert area is fucking great (it's not just sand dunes)... and quite huge underneath it too.. I still have not finished exploring the desert map to this day because of this (always lost my way).. Hopefully i could finished it before the new region came out in a few month..
Best of luck doing that!
I'm more interested than I thought I'd be from all the talk about how great that region is. Maybe one day I'll experience it for myself. :)
omg. your reaction to nahida gives e goosebumps all you said was right.
Thank you! :D
Ngl the edits of checking ages of some characters kills me. Gotta make sure the FBI doesn't come for you
Glad you enjoyed the bit 😆
who's crying every time you watch nahida demo reaction?
Xiangling is still one of the most popular 4 stars along with Bennett and Xingqiu (who don't have character trailers) because they can form a popular meta team called National (which also has Chongyun) and is a very F2P team and can add several other DPSes and Sub-DPS'es like Kazuha, Tartaglia, Raiden Shogun, Kamisato Ayato to create mixed teams for the Spiral Abyss which is an end-game fighting content which updates quite often. Also because spears characters are some of the most popular, Xiangling has tons of options for weapon choices which makes her very versatile. The only gameplay downside would be that she needs a bit of energy recharge to burst her ultimate Pyronado, since that's where her DPS comes from.
Tighnari has a new voice actor nowadays, so what you were hearing is the previous English VA, he got changed in 3.5 or 3.6 with a new voice due to the previous VA doing some wild crazy things and groomed young girls online....
Otherwise, he is a Forest Ranger which takes care of the rainforest in Sumeru and has previously studied Amurta (which is biology) in Sumeru Akademiya (which is like the main university and the main authority of Sumeru which controls the region) so that's why he's talking like a teacher about plants and mushrooms. He has taken Collei as her student to teach her several things as she wants to learn more after having a very dark past with being experimented. Surprisingly, he's not very annoying in-game as his personality is a little sassy at times, especially being annoyed by Cyno who's kinda like the type that says dad dry jokes all the time and is very into card games despite being all serious at work.
Idk if it's spoilers, but Kaveh and Alhaitham kinda live together and are roommates due to Kaveh being broke after building a big palace for Dori so he had to like move over to Alhaitham's house, which is a prize from their project that they did one time at the Akademiya but had a huge fall-out 😭 They are on better terms but they still argue quite a lot about several things. Kaveh is really an extrovert and very expressive in general while Alhaitham is more laid-back and serious. Kaveh complains a lot because of their point of view, so it's a pretty dynamic relationship they have. It's not quite shown in these trailers, but if you happen to watch scenes from quests and hangouts, you can see they are quite a lot together lmao
