This event was heart-wrenching but beautiful. I LOVE FREMINET SO MUCH. Also Thanks to Backbone for sponsoring this video, check them out go.playbackbone.com/e/thejonathon :)
True….and @Thejonathan im a chongyun main as well! Cause of ur vids he is my main and my favourite character. And my friends irl say im chongyun since i overheat easily, wear 7 layers of clothing, eat ice cream to cool me down and im 97% of yang.
So the thory is: it's possible that her son died before the events in Fontain archon quest so he was able to put some of his conciseness in the seashell you use for the toy that found at the bottom of the ocean thanks to his oceanid powers, similar how Ei put hers in the sword and Miko in the garment she gave us. If you translate Thelxie's voicelines from morse code he's been talking to his mother for a while already. She's not imagining Thelxie is her son, she really has been talking to him. Hence at the end you see her son instead of the toy!
fun fact: delaroche's english va is debi derryberry, who also voiced sedene (the melusine that works inside palais mermonia and shows up in neuvillette's teaser) and tubby :0 she also happens to voice draculaura from monster high !!
If I were the traveler, I would definitely drowned myself in tears inside Freminet's helmet seeing that scene played out. Then I would get the secret trophy 'Drowning on Land'.
It’s super poignant for Freminet and one of the most endearing heartfelt events around a 4* character ever. Freminets own mother is gone and he fears she would not be proud of who he’s grown up to be. This must be especially touching for him, as not as he had people around him afflicted with loneliness syndrome (depression), but he is helping a mother deal with the loss of her child. I love Fremi so much 😭
(Fun aside before depressing stuff; "Loneliness Disease" is, like, 1-to-1 with a 'real' illness, "The morbs" or "feeling morbid" is an old Victorian era 'illness' that starting to treat it like an illness would cause the future medical society to understand depression much better, and thusly lead into the modern understanding OF what we now call "Depression".) It was sad once the ball started rolling in the event, but I wasn't hit any harder than anyone else, but then it hit me with Freminet's last "I hope everyone who is in a dark place will get to see something beautiful, and have a maricle of their own." and a cascade of emotion hit me like a tidal wave. I'm not in the best part of my life, haven't been for a few years now, and it hurt how much that Freminet's remark felt targeted at me, be it from Freminet, or from Mihoyo I started bawling because I'd never felt so seen. And I forward the gesture. I hope everyone else in a dark place gets their own miracle, and gets to see beautiful things again.
I hope you get through it, you're stronger than you know 💪 And same, if this came out last year I would've definitely broken down since it was the hardest year I've ever had to go through, thankfully things are getting brighter
When Zuria started showing obvious signs like referring the penguin as her son my heart started aching, but I had to power through the story and keep my tears in.
Okay just to give a quick explanation about the Morse Code that Thelxie says throughout the event: Yes, it does mean something. Yes, it is in French. However, is not that straightforward. When you translate the Morse Code, it will look like a jumble of letters. This is because the letters are shifted over by 1. This is mentioned in one of the journals that you can find in Freminet's temporary camp. Think of it as a Caesar's cipher, where you have to shift the letters by one to the left. This will then convert the jumble of letters into French, which you can then translate. An example of this is the four letter word that Thelxie likes to say a lot: -.. -... .-- -... -> DBWB -> CAVA -> How's it going/What's up As for the longest sentence Thelxie says: -.- ..-. ..- -... .--- -. ..-. -. -... -. -... --- -> KFUBJNFNBNBO -> JETAIMEMAMAN -> I love you mom (as you will see in the end when Thelxie turns into the kid)
This is one of Hoyoverse's masterpiece in storytelling. It's amazing how they know how to direct a story so that it tugs hard on your heartstrings. They went far and beyond with This event and with all of Fontaine. All nitpicks and flaws of the game is minute when you look at all the good things Genshin is. This is one memorable event that I will now have in my memory.
My favourite minor detail is Thelxie asking "Ça va?" while making a cute little beep-boop noise. The whole time I kept getting a sweet but slightly uncanny feeling that the machine is capable of speaking like a kid due to how friendly and melodic its voice is ♫ ♪ As for the morse code dialogues and cutscenes, use a Caesar cipher (shift each letter one place back in the alphabet) and translate from French! For example: "- ..-. ...- --" ➟ "TFVM" ➟ "SEUL" ➟ "Alone"
Hoyo is far too good both at their ability to make us cry, and their ability to use nerdy things to hide... well lets be honest, even more reasons to make us cry.
as someone who has been dealing with depression for years (i’m much better now but some days are still very hard) this quest hit me so hard and i could relate to their feelings. it was so sad yet so beautiful
Watching this back I'm realizing "woah, extremely Venti story quest 1 vibes," and I'm starting to wonder if this is actually a bit of a subtle lore drop... back then we got a magic eyeglass which lets you see other people's imaginary friends, and Fischl is a walking embodiment of "yes it's all fantasy but also it's lowkey real," so I feel like Hoyo has been really purposefully blending the lines of fiction and reality in Teyvat for a while now. (+ on a less meta more emotional level, the fact that fantasies and stories and imagination can impact your real lived experience and emotions can absolutely be called a little miracle. even without souls of the dead staying with us and imaginary worlds being literally real, fantasy can have a lot of power to help people)
The scene when Zuria and Lescot talk for one last time, was so heart-breaking that even without the context, my emotions were still messed up as I could still feel Zuria's pain of losing her son.
Hoyo really outdid themselves with the event page art. The intro animations, the event node art and transitions, and having a first and final artwork that changes after you complete the story. The first time they have done it in the last 3 years! I hope they continue to do this. Also, I'm glad NPCs get to shine this time around, with a lil look into Fremmi's character. It just makes the world of Genshin feel whole and not just about people with visions
This quest was absolutely amazing. At first I did it for freminet, since I love him and I also wanted the free freminet, and I went through the quest thinking it was fine. Then the last quest hit me really hard when finding out about Zuria’s son and how she had the syndrome to, then when she started talking to the Thelxie robot and humming to her son, I had to stop playing for a few minutes because I was bawling my eyes out. Amazing quest, it really hit me hard but it was definitely fantastically written, I kinda wish it was permanent so more people could play it
1:24:55 “the kid used seashells right? Could it be what it made possible for them (mom and kid) to connect?” “but why can us also she it as well?” I believe so! Jon didnt noticed but he did by accident, touch a conch (II) when grabbing for the crown that had writing on it , in the event we can interact with at least 3 and the family doctor said the kid used to do this, so the conches pretty much confirms its the same ones he used to try go underwater, and the traveler was the one collecting them and the mom the one who crowned the penguin, so both of us could see the miracle(?) …my headcanon of explanation
So the thory is: it's possible that her son died before the events in Fontain archon quest so he was able to put some of his conciseness in the seashell you use for the toy that found at the bottom of the ocean thanks to his oceanid powers, similar how Ei put hers in the sword and Miko in the garment she gave us. If you translate Thelxie's voicelines from morse code he's been talking to his mother for a while already. She's not imagining Thelxie is her son, she really has been talking to him. Hence at the end you see her son instead of the toy!
@@purple66666 that would explain why only at the end Thelxie became the kid, we gave all the seashells on the penguin so technically gave him a “body” to say goodbye
This event made me cry once i learnt that Lescot actually died and Zuria also had the syndrome It almost made me cry Also once you complete day 3 The event banner will change
This story was so so sad, when she started humming to her son. I cried like a little baby. This was so heart breaking. Also realising that the sea shells we picked up in part 1 were the ones his son was wearing....ahhhhhhhh... Just gotta prepare myself for all the upcoming quest from now on😭😭😭v
I cried so hard in this event, which was the first for me (I have cried during AQs and even world quests, but never events). I can't handle sad family stories, man. I would've lost my sanity a long time ago without my family, I can't imagine losing anyone like that. 😭
man this hits home.... TW (maybe) When my family abandonned me and i was left behind without anything left, i started making up fantasies of a family that supported me and loved me for who i was. i kept talking to myself in an empty home in the different characters. i could still differentiate between fantasy and reality, but this was the way i coped with it for a year. Thank god i met ''companions''/friends and therapeutic help to fight against the monsters (thoughts of death and such) and now i have no need for the fantasies since they essentially became reality.
this is such a beautiful and well written story. no words could describe the emotions i felt when zuria's son was shown in place of thelxie through freminet's diving helmet and had the crown on.
Truly beautiful. I cried as hard as I did after the archon quest. I really feel inspired after watching this, it made me feel a bit better about everyone going on in life in general right now 😅 The Nation of Hydro really lives up to it's name; all of the tears are really just the overflow of hydro from our body. It's how Fontaine gets it's extensive seas: it's the tears of the genshin players XD
This is the best event I’ve ever played, and I was full on sobbing by the end of it ;-; It just really hit too close to home for me as someone with mental health issues that imposes on my daily life (heck, I can’t even have a normal job or work schedule because of it, my mental health issues I mean ^^; ). And Freminet’s message and wish was just the thing that did me in💙 I have been in a truly dark place before, but then I found Genshin (you could say Genshin saved me) after years and years of constant bullying and ridicule (including my own parents). Most of it was because we didn’t know what was going on with me (I’m doing MUCH better now, and I don’t harbor those… thoughts anymore either^^ + my parents fully support me now) We are instead dealing with me being trans, so there’s that ^^; But, hey, what’s life without a liiiittle bit of drama🙃💖
Ive been playing since 1.2 and my fav element is Hydro, so i always waited for Fontaine ( also cus of how npc described it in world quests), but to know that it is not only gonna be my fav location, but also fav AQ and also fav event, and some of the best Story quests ive played, OMG, thank you Hoyoverse
This event shattered my heart and was the very first event to ever make me cry. It was so good. I feel like some parts could've been handled better (paimon was the most glaring thing to me, a lot of what she said was extremely tone-deaf and simply unnecessary) but otherwise it was done quite well and I enjoyed playing it, even if it made me sad. also, unrelated, but will you post Furina's story quest to the channel? curious to know your thoughts to it !
This event really tugged my entire existence, I know how that child feels to be lonely, I was alone during my entire childhood I never truly had which was quite sad. I ended up playing pretend by myself half the time and trying to waste time on days that felt too long. This event brought such happiness to me, seeing a happy ending for the sweet mother. This truly is the most beautiful game, I would just love to live in the Genshin world and just bring more joy. I don't care how many commissions I would recieve but I want to bring joy to others!
Fun fact : the description of the water imp at the beginning being a multi color snake woman with a beautiful face is actually the description of French fairy tale Melusine 😂
I haven't done the event yet, but dzem, this made me cry 😭 Thank you for sharing! Fontaine is probably my most favorite region so far, in terms of the stories 😃
I started Genshin after this event... I'm happy to watch it with you but really Hoyo should let new player play story event quest. If lore from event story quest become important in Archon quest let us experience it (Hexenzirkel? Albedo's creator? I felt i missed a huge thing at that moment, please can someone recommend a recap video about it ?). Anyway I wanted to say that I'm grateful for your video. I really enjoyed it
I think they don't make you can play past events is to make the game size not too big In HSR you can replay past events I believe, but its size is now comparable to Genshin now even though it's a smaller game Though I hope one day Hoyo found a solution, make it a separate install or something for past events 😅
Man, that ending scene hit really hard, as I lost someone recently myself so seeing her saying goodbye to her son just beought those feelings right back to the surface.
This is the only event I’ve been apart of since I’ve only been playing Genshin for a few months but this event is my favorite so far and will probably be my favorite for a while. I got to meet Freminet (I found a new man to obsess over 😋) and the story was really interesting and emotional. I ALSO GOT FREMINET FOR FREE HAHA TAKE THAT EVERYONE WHO HAS HAD TO PULL FOR HIM
One thing i haven't seen anyone here mention so far, the event foreshadowed the revelation multiple times, funnily enough i myself realized it only after the final pages explanation. 'Crossing the rainbow bridge' is an alegory to passing on that's come to be used in context with small children or pets.
This quest actually got me messed up. I couldn’t stop crying and I was telling my friend who doesn’t play Genshin about this quest and was still crying
I have yet to find someone mentioning this but the random tidbits of poetry in the event come from Sylvia Path's work titled "Full Fathom Five" Full fathom five thy father lies; Of his bones are coral made; Those are pearls that were his eyes: Nothing of him that doth fade, But doth suffer a sea-change Into something rich and strange. In the poem, Plath sees her father as a Poseidon/Neptune figure of such immense proportions that he cannot be grasped by the eyes or mind. He is not simply a god, but rather defies godhood and she has taken great pains to emphasize his colossal figure and magnificence. He is too large for her to even fathom or understand. Plath's tone is one of awe and wonder at her father's vastness, but also at his danger. However, though he and his watery life are dangerous, she admits she would "breathe water" in order to join him. Plath was fond of the sea, both in life and in her art. She wrote of her experiences with the sea in "Ocean 1212-W": "And this is how it stiffens, my vision of that seaside childhood. My father died, we moved inland. Whereon those nine first years of my life sealed themselves off like a ship in a bottle-beautiful, inaccessible, obsolete, a fine, white flying myth." This connection helps to understand both why she saw her father as a sea god and why the setting is so emotional and impossible. The sea is a place of nostalgia for a distant past. She cannot return to it, but instead can only observe it from afar, when memory allows. I'm thinking this lady thinks very similarly about her son.
I love Sedene VA and Delaroche got same VA with Sedene im pretty sure, with that thick accent i wish we got more of her as a Npc or even playable character
Not me playing this quest, doing the archon quest and knowing what happened to Melus and Silver and the world quest about Bulle Fruit, all in a day. I was a wreck.
I think that's heavily implied. They appear to be a set of three and the doctor says that Lescot wrote the inscription on number three (it's the shell on the table outside the house and you can still read the inscription, I assume as long as the event is available)
yea not me bawling my eyes out fully for the 15min 😔 amazing event! sadly i wasent able to do it at that time but good thing we have jonathon to show it... if you excuse me im going back to crying
I clicked on yhe dialogue too fast so i only thought that Thelxie drowned as he was collecting seashells. It horrified me a million times more that a child this young actually did that on his own... No one should ever think of that, much less a child... As a suicide survivor myself it made me cry, with the way one life can seriously impact the ones around it. But it didn't just take a depressing turn, it framed it in a way that shows us that there is hope and love for us out there, even if we feel so awful that we start bending reality around us into distorted perceptions. The rainbow, the love between mother and child, strangers who don't even know you, reaching out a hand to help, because the kindness in people's hearts still exists. Im gonna cry.
The way Kaehnriah lives rent free in my head😂 Bc as soon as I hear "kingdom" and "prince" and "monsters" Im like "omg Kaehnriah analogy?!" This event was AWESOME. Like i was BAWLING by the end wtf
tbh I always start the world quests when I want to relax and have some music on with a cup of tea reading the world quests as if I'm reading a book it feels so cozy and nice especially when it's so interesting and have good writing like sumeru's and fontaine's ones :)
This event was heart-wrenching but beautiful. I LOVE FREMINET SO MUCH.
Also Thanks to Backbone for sponsoring this video, check them out go.playbackbone.com/e/thejonathon :)
I think it would be adorable to get Freminet and Fischl together to talk about their imaginary worlds
True….and @Thejonathan im a chongyun main as well! Cause of ur vids he is my main and my favourite character. And my friends irl say im chongyun since i overheat easily, wear 7 layers of clothing, eat ice cream to cool me down and im 97% of yang.
So the thory is: it's possible that her son died before the events in Fontain archon quest so he was able to put some of his conciseness in the seashell you use for the toy that found at the bottom of the ocean thanks to his oceanid powers, similar how Ei put hers in the sword and Miko in the garment she gave us. If you translate Thelxie's voicelines from morse code he's been talking to his mother for a while already. She's not imagining Thelxie is her son, she really has been talking to him.

1:11:31 Jonathan is mess up 😂😂
I have Freminet
fun fact: delaroche's english va is debi derryberry, who also voiced sedene (the melusine that works inside palais mermonia and shows up in neuvillette's teaser) and tubby :0
she also happens to voice draculaura from monster high !!
YOOOOO how did I not know she was tubby?! I instantly knew she was Sedene but not Tubby!
She also voices Jimmy Neutron
Jimmy Neutron too!
Ngl Debi Derryberry is a banger name, and girlypop voiced one of the most iconic ghouls in MH? give her an oscar or 5
I KNEW IT!!!! immediately knew she was sedene their voice is just so distinct
If I were the traveler, I would definitely drowned myself in tears inside Freminet's helmet seeing that scene played out.
Then I would get the secret trophy 'Drowning on Land'.
I finished this quest in a bus while going to uni. I had to hold in the urge to break down and cry. Thank you HoYo.
How long is that bus ride man
@@North_wood it was around 30 minutes, good enough to do the last part of the quest
Me : it's time to heal my depression after archon quest, let's doing a fun event.
The Event :
Damn you Mihoyo.
It’s super poignant for Freminet and one of the most endearing heartfelt events around a 4* character ever. Freminets own mother is gone and he fears she would not be proud of who he’s grown up to be. This must be especially touching for him, as not as he had people around him afflicted with loneliness syndrome (depression), but he is helping a mother deal with the loss of her child.

And I forward the gesture. I hope everyone else in a dark place gets their own miracle, and gets to see beautiful things again.
I hope you get through it, you're stronger than you know 💪
And same, if this came out last year I would've definitely broken down since it was the hardest year I've ever had to go through, thankfully things are getting brighter
I'm really sorry but I have to do this.
"Watch out, I've got the *morbs* "
* morbs into morbius *
Fountain land of hydro❌
Fountain land of tears✅🥺
Tears of Fontaine
@xiavshinrei so relatable 😂😂😂😂😂 like zelda tears of the kingdom ❤❤❤❤
Now you can use the picture book on the abyss twin who thinks they sit upon the throne.... 🥺😭
Noooo! 😭
Omg NOOOOO😢. Actually maybe, if it'll help my poor Aether finally reunite with his sister.
Nah, I hope not🗿
this is definitely one of my fav main events it’s so sweet and emotional, I got tear’s in my eyes and now I love Fremi even more lol💙
When Zuria started showing obvious signs like referring the penguin as her son my heart started aching, but I had to power through the story and keep my tears in.

As for the longest sentence Thelxie says:
-.- ..-. ..- -... .--- -. ..-. -. -... -. -... --- -> KFUBJNFNBNBO -> JETAIMEMAMAN -> I love you mom (as you will see in the end when Thelxie turns into the kid)
Hope this gets pinned thanks u
thats actually CRAZY. whoever developed this idea is amazing
Ngl I tried translating it when playing but I completely forgot to try to translate into French and thought it was just mumbo jumbo LMAO
Je pleure sur le poulet
This is one of Hoyoverse's masterpiece in storytelling. It's amazing how they know how to direct a story so that it tugs hard on your heartstrings.

Mihoyo casually dropping the saddest mf story and making me cry my eyes out in a fucking EVENT about a robot penguin 😭
her saying "maman" was too powerful, I'm fucking bawling my eyes out
My favourite minor detail is Thelxie asking "Ça va?" while making a cute little beep-boop noise. The whole time I kept getting a sweet but slightly uncanny feeling that the machine is capable of speaking like a kid due to how friendly and melodic its voice is ♫ ♪
As for the morse code dialogues and cutscenes, use a Caesar cipher (shift each letter one place back in the alphabet) and translate from French! For example:
"- ..-. ...- --" ➟ "TFVM" ➟ "SEUL" ➟ "Alone"
Hoyo is far too good both at their ability to make us cry, and their ability to use nerdy things to hide... well lets be honest, even more reasons to make us cry.
as someone who has been dealing with depression for years (i’m much better now but some days are still very hard) this quest hit me so hard and i could relate to their feelings. it was so sad yet so beautiful

Also, I'm glad NPCs get to shine this time around, with a lil look into Fremmi's character. It just makes the world of Genshin feel whole and not just about people with visions
Ah, fontaine was so emotional, let's take it easy for now and earn some primos from chill event.
The event:
This quest was absolutely amazing. At first I did it for freminet, since I love him and I also wanted the free freminet, and I went through the quest thinking it was fine. Then the last quest hit me really hard when finding out about Zuria’s son and how she had the syndrome to, then when she started talking to the Thelxie robot and humming to her son, I had to stop playing for a few minutes because I was bawling my eyes out. Amazing quest, it really hit me hard but it was definitely fantastically written, I kinda wish it was permanent so more people could play it
This really is the Freminet Story Quest, But I still hope we get a Hangout quest's with him
And the very next patch, we get a Chevreuse story quest
1:24:55
“the kid used seashells right? Could it be what it made possible for them (mom and kid) to connect?”
“but why can us also she it as well?”
I believe so! Jon didnt noticed but he did by accident, touch a conch (II) when grabbing for the crown that had writing on it , in the event we can interact with at least 3 and the family doctor said the kid used to do this, so the conches pretty much confirms its the same ones he used to try go underwater, and the traveler was the one collecting them and the mom the one who crowned the penguin, so both of us could see the miracle(?)
…my headcanon of explanation
So the thory is: it's possible that her son died before the events in Fontain archon quest so he was able to put some of his conciseness in the seashell you use for the toy that found at the bottom of the ocean thanks to his oceanid powers, similar how Ei put hers in the sword and Miko in the garment she gave us. If you translate Thelxie's voicelines from morse code he's been talking to his mother for a while already. She's not imagining Thelxie is her son, she really has been talking to him. Hence at the end you see her son instead of the toy!
@@purple66666
that would explain why only at the end Thelxie became the kid, we gave all the seashells on the penguin so technically gave him a “body” to say goodbye
This event's story is so sad but yet wholesome somehow.
Love your content Jon 😊
A parent should never lose their child....
This event made me cry once i learnt that Lescot actually died and Zuria also had the syndrome
It almost made me cry
Also once you complete day 3
The event banner will change
This story was so so sad, when she started humming to her son. I cried like a little baby. This was so heart breaking. Also realising that the sea shells we picked up in part 1 were the ones his son was wearing....ahhhhhhhh... Just gotta prepare myself for all the upcoming quest from now on😭😭😭v
NOOOO you're so right, as if I needed to cry more 😭
this is a beautiful story quest. and if they played this in a movie theater, we would be drowning in our own tears 😭
I cried so hard in this event, which was the first for me (I have cried during AQs and even world quests, but never events). I can't handle sad family stories, man. I would've lost my sanity a long time ago without my family, I can't imagine losing anyone like that. 😭

Delarouche is voiced by the same va as jimmy neutron
I don't know what to do with this information.
This event shattered my heart and was the very first event to ever make me cry. It was so good. I feel like some parts could've been handled better (paimon was the most glaring thing to me, a lot of what she said was extremely tone-deaf and simply unnecessary) but otherwise it was done quite well and I enjoyed playing it, even if it made me sad.
also, unrelated, but will you post Furina's story quest to the channel? curious to know your thoughts to it !
This event really tugged my entire existence, I know how that child feels to be lonely, I was alone during my entire childhood I never truly had which was quite sad. I ended up playing pretend by myself half the time and trying to waste time on days that felt too long. This event brought such happiness to me, seeing a happy ending for the sweet mother. This truly is the most beautiful game, I would just love to live in the Genshin world and just bring more joy. I don't care how many commissions I would recieve but I want to bring joy to others!
I play this game to avoid my depression but the game gives me more depression than I already have
Fun fact : the description of the water imp at the beginning being a multi color snake woman with a beautiful face is actually the description of French fairy tale Melusine 😂
14:15 “This is so serotonin inducing” oh Jon you don’t know what’s coming
I haven't done the event yet, but dzem, this made me cry 😭 Thank you for sharing! Fontaine is probably my most favorite region so far, in terms of the stories 😃
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR STREAMING THIS EVENT QUEST.. I CRIED AGAIN 😂
Fontaine, please, I know it is a nation of hydro but this is just really hits home. Dang it genshin lol
Try use Freminet idle animation with Pers infront Thelxie. It's cute 😆
Shoot; does this work in the Serenitea Pot?
@ag-13studios51 I guess it still react if u give it a try
@ag-13studios51 I guess it still react when u give it a try 🤔
Edit: I just found out it only works during event
@@izzahsyahirah2117 Since the event is over, I can't try it. So what will happen if we use Freminet's idle animation with Pers in front of Thelxie?
@azharshaik461 During event, Thelxie reaction was happy when he saw Pers but not in Serenitea Pot which he's always happy every second
I found this event moving, but in a good way. The story was sad and emotional but it was beautifully told, so Bravo genshin for this event!
I just wanted c1 Freminet….not depression!!
Did anyone ever realize that we didn't finish helping the other lady with the fish issues? We didn't even reply to her about it at the end as well.
It's the second time that i see this mission and i cried again 😢❤
I remember when i got to this twist, hit me harder than starscourge rahdan 😭
I started Genshin after this event...
I'm happy to watch it with you but really Hoyo should let new player play story event quest.
If lore from event story quest become important in Archon quest let us experience it (Hexenzirkel? Albedo's creator? I felt i missed a huge thing at that moment, please can someone recommend a recap video about it ?).
Anyway I wanted to say that I'm grateful for your video. I really enjoyed it
I think they don't make you can play past events is to make the game size not too big
In HSR you can replay past events I believe, but its size is now comparable to Genshin now even though it's a smaller game
Though I hope one day Hoyo found a solution, make it a separate install or something for past events 😅
Fontane is the hydro nation for a reason, its been making us cry ever since we got there
It is the son's father death from an accident that caused his depression and loneliness.
I didn’t cry when I was playing the event myself but hearing the story for the second time… I cried like a whale, especially in the end
The way Freminet kept saying “well if thats an order…” 😢
I tear up so much from this, good lord...
i just realized that Delaroche voice sounds like Sedene’s
Its also the voice of Tubby
The most heartbreaking in this event is that the robot change into her son after making 3rd part of the quest 😭😭😭
I finished the event in two accounts and I'm still crying after watching this😭
I’m 100% not watching this months later bc I skipped through the whole event 🧍♀️…
I only recently found your channel but i love your content!
I played this event so I could get the free freminet but then I got c1 freminet on ayatos banner 💀
Man, that ending scene hit really hard, as I lost someone recently myself so seeing her saying goodbye to her son just beought those feelings right back to the surface.
This is the only event I’ve been apart of since I’ve only been playing Genshin for a few months but this event is my favorite so far and will probably be my favorite for a while. I got to meet Freminet (I found a new man to obsess over 😋) and the story was really interesting and emotional. I ALSO GOT FREMINET FOR FREE HAHA TAKE THAT EVERYONE WHO HAS HAD TO PULL FOR HIM
i feel so bad for the mother and her son, but now the mother can truely say goodbye to her son..
I JUST WANT PRIMO FROM THIS EVENT NOT THE FEELS
One thing i haven't seen anyone here mention so far, the event foreshadowed the revelation multiple times, funnily enough i myself realized it only after the final pages explanation. 'Crossing the rainbow bridge' is an alegory to passing on that's come to be used in context with small children or pets.
This is the biggest fear of being a parent...
I had to do this quest I really wanted a Freminet since he was a reward for enough badges🎉
It also very sad…TvT
This quest actually got me messed up. I couldn’t stop crying and I was telling my friend who doesn’t play Genshin about this quest and was still crying
my favorite event will always be Inazuma's with the spirit woman in the red dress, where the event ends with fireworks.
Those final words Freminet said at the end was a powerful message to everyone suffering from mental illness.
Ye just got to the geo archon city 5 days ago and played this event, thought it was gonna be random, made me tear up in the end a bit
Did you post furina story quest on youtube? Because im very looking forward to it
I have yet to find someone mentioning this but the random tidbits of poetry in the event come from Sylvia Path's work titled "Full Fathom Five"
Full fathom five thy father lies;
Of his bones are coral made;
Those are pearls that were his eyes:
Nothing of him that doth fade,
But doth suffer a sea-change
Into something rich and strange.
In the poem, Plath sees her father as a Poseidon/Neptune figure of such immense proportions that he cannot be grasped by the eyes or mind. He is not simply a god, but rather defies godhood and she has taken great pains to emphasize his colossal figure and magnificence. He is too large for her to even fathom or understand.
Plath's tone is one of awe and wonder at her father's vastness, but also at his danger. However, though he and his watery life are dangerous, she admits she would "breathe water" in order to join him.
Plath was fond of the sea, both in life and in her art. She wrote of her experiences with the sea in "Ocean 1212-W": "And this is how it stiffens, my vision of that seaside childhood. My father died, we moved inland. Whereon those nine first years of my life sealed themselves off like a ship in a bottle-beautiful, inaccessible, obsolete, a fine, white flying myth." This connection helps to understand both why she saw her father as a sea god and why the setting is so emotional and impossible. The sea is a place of nostalgia for a distant past. She cannot return to it, but instead can only observe it from afar, when memory allows. I'm thinking this lady thinks very similarly about her son.
Thanks for the video!!! 🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸 I already did the event but wanted to experience it one more time and doing it here made me not feel so sad 🤗
as a french native speaker, them saying "maman" on repeat at the end fucking got me man...
I love Sedene VA and
Delaroche got same VA with Sedene im pretty sure, with that thick accent
i wish we got more of her as a Npc or even playable character
I recognize her VA from a really old Nickelodeon show.
@@DarkSeraphJimmy Neutron!!??
@@DarkSeraph i only watch spongebob back in the day so idont know much for other show
Does anyone know if this song is available for the teapot? 😭 Pls I need it
Not me playing this quest, doing the archon quest and knowing what happened to Melus and Silver and the world quest about Bulle Fruit, all in a day. I was a wreck.
Thelxie kinda looks like my pet penguin pillow😊
I named it “Triiunmou” since that mean “tummy” in Yordan😊
IM STRAIGHT UP CRYING
This was the first quest that made me actually cry
tbh most of the main event of the patches has an excellent story especially when the whole patch centered around it :)
the first genshin impact quest that made me cry
freminet the comfort character ever
is the inscribed shell at start one of those shells the kid drowned with...?
Yes
I think that's heavily implied. They appear to be a set of three and the doctor says that Lescot wrote the inscription on number three (it's the shell on the table outside the house and you can still read the inscription, I assume as long as the event is available)
yea not me bawling my eyes out fully for the 15min 😔 amazing event! sadly i wasent able to do it at that time but good thing we have jonathon to show it...
if you excuse me im going back to crying
Is this the best event quest ever???!
To think to the point that it wou will make us cry😞✨
I clicked on yhe dialogue too fast so i only thought that Thelxie drowned as he was collecting seashells. It horrified me a million times more that a child this young actually did that on his own... No one should ever think of that, much less a child... As a suicide survivor myself it made me cry, with the way one life can seriously impact the ones around it. But it didn't just take a depressing turn, it framed it in a way that shows us that there is hope and love for us out there, even if we feel so awful that we start bending reality around us into distorted perceptions. The rainbow, the love between mother and child, strangers who don't even know you, reaching out a hand to help, because the kindness in people's hearts still exists. Im gonna cry.
The way Kaehnriah lives rent free in my head😂
Bc as soon as I hear "kingdom" and "prince" and "monsters" Im like "omg Kaehnriah analogy?!"
This event was AWESOME. Like i was BAWLING by the end wtf
I don't know who wrote this story, but they wanted to send a message, and by God, did they deliver.
Well, guess I'm gonna cry today! :') EVERYONE NEEDS A HUG!!! Plus, a LOT of therapy and ice cream!
Beautiful land of Fontaine full of Hydro and tears- 😭
8 months ago but hey-
That's so real TuT
My favorite event story in all of Genshin (that is irrelevant to big lore or future stories) is 3.6 event story ^ ^
Did u know that u could get freminet in the event I couldn't believe it
depression event, mihoyo really wants us to lose what might be left of our mental sanity
how'd you handle that? i always cry especially on that last statement and the hug
tbh I always start the world quests when I want to relax and have some music on with a cup of tea reading the world quests as if I'm reading a book it feels so cozy and nice especially when it's so interesting and have good writing like sumeru's and fontaine's ones :)
Such a beautiful event,wdym i am crying?
