It makes sense to divide Snezhnaya into two parts. How would you be able to deal with Columbina,Pierro,Tsaritsa,Dottore etc in just ONE Archon quest? It would be extremely rushed.
No it wouldn't be rushed at all if they just changed the way they told the story and instead of using the first 3-4 patches of the cycle they extended it to the full 7-8 patches and told a full story across all updates during the year that 6.x was active.
Before I was disappointed and angry about the decision they made but seeing it from your point of view, it's the best they could do, more lore and therefore, better chase stories and... MORE ANIMATIONS
@@vetreas366you should also consider new players man, if a new story came every patch then we would have to rush all the story and their region to reach the new region, we would not have the time to actually enjoy the previous regions at all, which would ruin the player experience. This is supposed to be a chill game and not rushing to new story immediately.
I wish people would stop lying about that!!! Snezhnaya is not being delayed!!! The release order for Snezhnaya as a nation will be different. We’re getting all the smaller areas first, and getting the major castle/city part last. It’s to build suspense for the final nation. It’d be like getting all the tribes in Natlan first before unlocking the coliseum.
There are leak on reddit said that all filler region like Dornman Port,Mount Esus will release first in 6.X.Snezhnaya will release in 7.X something like that.Genshin is too profitable for Mihoyo,they will not rush to end it early.They want our wishing money.Honkai Impact 3rd is still ongoing.I bet they will stretch the game until 2030 + years.Teyvat is just 1 chapter according to travail trailer
I kinda like it cuz I want the game to continue as long as possible. Also it would give them time to properly flesh out Snezhnaya story and characters it won't feel rushed like Inazuma or Natlan.
Apparently there’s 3 games of Genshin impact, we’re in the first one rn and after Snezhnaya we will move on to the second game, so there’s still a long road ahead.
At this point calling Natlan, the region that was just released and is only at its third patch "rushed" is just stupid people talk. Just the purest of idiocy.
@@vetreas366 I would like to argue that you have recency bias. It's objectively rushed. None of its characters have the level of depth that older characters have. The Archon Quest's pacing is all over the place. Apart from maybe OchkaNatlan, every other map seems superficial. Just cuz it's on its third patch doesn't mean I have to mince my words I will call it out for what it is. RUSHED
Man, I just want Columbina, that’s all :( Also I’ll wait and stuff and it’s fine if she doesn’t get released cause I’m not that desperate but man is she cool
The formula of getting to a new region and solving all of their issues is getting old I think it's a great idea to go back to older regions and tie everything together before reaching main snezhnaya All of the past regions have effectively seen zero development since their archon quest was finished, and I feel like there are a lot of people that have unfinished business with snezhnaya An interconnected story involving multiple regions and characters sounds great, some of my favorite moments are seeing characters outside their home region
Nord Krai could mean something like north country, so i think it will be north to mondstadt and will connect mondstadt's port, which we still dont have with snezhnaya. Nord Krai may also serve a simillar purpose to the outsider's island in inazuma(i forgot the name)
We've been trying to stop the Tsaritsa's plan and were always a thorn in the Fatui's side ''' Jumping straight into Snezhnaya '' wouldn't make sense since we might not be welcome, so this slow more cautious lead up is more lore accurate
@kingdoom5022 idk, I think he is against them, what happened to venti, the multiple times he fought some lower rank fatuis and when he knew that lyney was from the fatuis, he wasn't ok with it till he got to meet them, when he meet capitano he was careful, when he was in inazuma he got signora killed and the word "fatui" isn't exactly something he would think as "friends" or "not against them", instead it's "what did the fatuis did this time".
@@militarfuturi1940they lean more on neutral side. Sure they're hostile at the beginning, but as the story goes they're becoming more open but still doesn't trust them. They're willing to help as long as it is beneficial for both party. The only faction that the Traveler very against with are just the abyss order. They don't even want to help the abyss order.
Skirk releasing right before the khaenriah region, seems likely she'll have influence on the next region, gameplay and lore wise both. Which means we're getting the abyss element soon!!(Copium)
I think this is a great move since we've so much characters yet to see. We haven't met many characters that we've teased with. AND DON'T FORGET ABOUT HEXENZIRKEL. I guess this filler patch would be really great. Alice, the other witches from hex, Varka, Fatuis and so many other characters that we've yet to meet and potentially getting released. I'm really excited
maaan i'm so excited, i've been fearing genshin's end being soon so i kinda like that it's delayed lol, i think they may be releasing this new area to give us time to become stronger for actual Snezhnaya, it seems like it's going to be the hardest region and they may add new gameplay styles that we're far from comfortable with, it makes me excited to think it's going to be a very hard region like dragonspine when you're low ar... idk idk i'm just happy to be here and i love that this will last more than i was expecting
What would be amazing from a story prospective, would be if we meet the Tsaritsa in Nod Krai but as a seemingly nondescript background character (Maybe some "NPC" we befriend/help during the story quest) with the reveal of who she really is not coming until the end of 6.8.
Ok, hear me out. What if Nod Krai *is* the main course, and the actual region itself is a long dessert with its own unique flavor. I think that Nod Krai may be a good opportunity for the player to not only get used to the cold, but also keep the player alert since Snezhnaya is supposedly the most hostile nation due to the fact we’ve encountered the fatui so many times. It wouldn’t be surprising if the people of Snezhnaya would be cold to us (get it?). But, if we have someone from within the harbinger guide us through Nod Krai, say Columbina, then the player would warm up to her. But then at the peak of the Nod Krai arc, we’d have a brief boss battle against Columbina (since she was attached to La Signora and we sorta killed her). After the fight ends, she officially announces that she’s convinced to join us on our journey. Then again this is a long cry for what HoYo is planning, and what I said is all a theory on what could happen in later patches.
I understand, but i dont think theyre using it for profit, probably because snezhnaya and some regions in Monstadt yet to cover have alot of lore to cover they have to make some parts seperate, making us fully understand the lore. And theyre trying to make every harbinger playable, we'll probably meet them one by one in regions of snezhnaya. Plus, dont worry, I bet genshin would still be fun even with the delays. And, theres no specific release or any confirmation of delays, we'll have to see after they confirm it. And I dont want them to rush out the archon quest, plus snezhnaya isnt the last region we'll explore, theres the sea of flowers, Celestia and god knows whats next? Maybe the last region will be Monstadt, as we havent covered much lore. I doubt genshin will end in 3 years or so, might take 5 years lol
She was REALLY talkin her shit this video. I completely agree with everything that was said, especially the part about the calculated releases. Not everybody has this skill to think like a developer and put themselves in that perspective and I enjoyed how honest it was because I hadn't even thought about most of that until she brought it up.
Honestly after I drunkenly decided to c6 wanderer on his first banner I don't want this game to end until I've played enough to justify that one drunken decision. (He cost me 400 so it could have been much worse lol)
If 6.x does end up focusing on a lot of other locations across Teyvat, I hope it involves characters from all nations too. I would love to see characters from all over interact with each other in a big way (we already get this in events with nations crossing over but I’d love to see it in more important stories like the archon quest). I also like the idea that this might fill in the gaps in the game’s map. There are still some areas that feel weirdly hidden for some reason. I would love to see the map to finally fill the whole screen with explorable areas when I view the game map. My concern now is if this doesn’t end up being what we expect like having great overarching stories, great map expansions, etc or if it doesn’t deliver as well as we thought that it might feel like a giant series of filler patches (I hope I’m wrong with this one). Are we even gonna get the Cryo archon in 6.x? My other concern is are we gonna get more restrictive mechanics like in Natlan? They gave us Pneuma and Ousia in Fontaine and while that one barely makes an impact in gameplay, Natlan’s nightsoul blessing is a bit different. I get that they need to implement new mechanics to get us to pull new characters but I wish they don’t do it the way they did Natlan’s mechanics. It’s creative and can be fun at times but I have so many problems with it that it would take me so much time to explain them in just one comment lol. With Nod Krai being the focus of 6.x and Shneznaya releasing in 7.x, I’m concerned that they might release two waves of characters with unique mechanics similar to Pneumousia and Nightsoul (new mechanic in 6.0 and new one in 7.0). If they do, I hope they make improvements with how they implemented Nightsoul blessing and make it work well with older characters, not have exploration mechanics that’s only good in their respective regions, and not gatekeep quality of life features behind limited characters (like grapple with Kinich, flying with Chasca and Mavuika, etc). I hope they do a good balance of between Pneumousia and Nightsoul where Pneumousia does not feel restrictive but feels useless sometimes and Nightsoul being super interesting and at times fun but feeling pretty restrictive. I hope this makes sense.
i like this better though with how they will expand regions of other nations as well. snezhnaya's story is very connected to every nation so its good that we will take time wrapping up every region and prolonging the story
This is actually A smart move because we basically going to the fatuis stronghold take the whole year of 2025 wrapping up business with the other regions preparing to enter end game
I'm expecting it's all just ironing out surrounding regions, catching up with all their unimplemented plans and slowly introducing jaw dropping lore before slowly converging into one.
@@Flewfaraway i just like her for some reason. It's called love without seeing someone. I just like her based on how she handles fatui. Idk what kind of character she will be. I just love her. Thats all
@@mystic_13baddie? She's the goddess of love, and has a plan to "wage war against the divine", "burn away the old world", to usher in a new era of peace for mankind The fatui are just ready to make ANY sacrifice to realize that
Y’all I feel like it’s more likely that they focus on other parts of the map AFTER the snezhnaya arc bc if you remember in the travail teaser act 6 is snezhnaya while the khanriah act is blurred out. So this means we will either go somewhere else before Khanriah or then they will focus on other nations maps.
Honestly that makes a lot more sense then what all these other people are saying. A lot of them arguing trying to say that Snezhnaya is going to be the last region we're going to get in this game. Like they also forgot that there's the abyss and Khanriah. I know they're supposedly rumors about genshin impact having another game, genshin 2 but I'm starting to think they're just going to add those two regions to this game cuz it won't make sense to add them to a different game. Honestly I'm also starting to think people just want this game to end way too fast.
4:05 Skirk is a Fatui Harbinger? I get she’s Childe’s master but that doesn’t make her part of the Fatui, does it? Unless I missed something in the lore.
@@TheWindsofWonder no she’s not a harbinger. Only Jester (leader) the Captain, the Doctor, the Damselette, the Knave, the Rooster, (ex-Scaramouche), Marionette, Signora, Regrator and Childe are the Fatui Harbingers. Skirk is from another world based on Childe’s namecard, (which I take to be literal and not poetic language) which states: “Yet his “Foul Legacy” was not originally his. Rather, it was taught to him by that solitary girl who dwelt in the darkest corners of the universe”
I take all of that with a grain of salt, because this seem weird. After all, they says long ago that chapter 6 would be Scheznaya. So maybe yes, Nod krai is for 6.0, but the main city appear later in the update (like 6.2 or later), and this would be different from every other nation where the main city is one of the first things you visit in the new region. Also, I see a full update series with only new side region to other nation after scheznaya, since Khaenriah arc isn't numbered, and many things could happen before khaenriah. Also, I see more the mare jivari for the 5.x update, since it's a part of Natlan. It would probably be a region like petrichor and the sea of begone eras, with one part in Teyvat and an other part outside teyvat. But I wait the 5.4 beta to confirm if another region is planned after the great volcano of Tollan and the collective of plenty. If we doesn't reach 270 pyrocculus in 5.4, 100% another region for natlan is planned.
the story is still long, other than snezhnaya, there's still the hexenzirkle and the sinners of khaenria. there are also some areas in mondstadt that needs to be explored.
This could actually be a really good idea, particularly for the cryo characters that get sparce reruns. And given the fact that the nod krai story will take place throughout the map, they could rerun those same characters with each new region addition (eula for dorman port, shenhe for black Cliff forge, efc). Of course this is my personal hope and speculation on what exactly hoyo is thinking n I could be off base completely BUT it's a good idea for the players retention and just a generally good business tactic
In the live stream they said that those hints are planned to come within the next 6 months, which means Nod Krai is expected to come before the summer event patch, it will still be part of 5.x updates and Snezhnaya can still be in 6.x.
You’ve really made me think more logically and not just be upset that we won’t get Snezhnaya in 6.0. Now I’m kinda hyped for that we could get instead. Thanks Raiden!
To be honest, there's nothing that guarantees the game will end with Snezhnaya. There's a floating citadel of the gods that we've seen in the distance since the very beginning, and just reaching it could justify another entire year of gameplay, potentially unlocking new, never-before-seen areas of the map. Not to mention, there's nothing stopping us from having a whole expansion set in the Abyss. Personally, I'd love to see an underground expansion similar to the Chasm, but with darker vibes. After all, there's no reason to assume the Abyss is uninhabited-it could have its own ecosystem, maybe even with horror elements, like something out of Ravenloft. I believe Genshin Impact will keep getting expansions as long as it sells well enough to justify new content. Considering the increasing power creep in Honkai Star Rail and the declining interest in Zenless Zone Zero, Genshin clearly remains Mihoyo's flagship title. So why would they shut everything down?
"To be honest, there's nothing that guarantees the game will end with Snezhnaya." Based on the Travails trailer, there are at least two other parts post-Snezhnaya, so they damn well better not be ending it in Snezhnaya (unless they do some kind of fakeout 'bogus ending' that leads into Khaenriah).
I think since you claimed that the 7.x will be all 6 other regions included aswell, they are likely making 6.x snezhnaya focused, then 7.x fatui/teyvat based
although its such a long wait, im happy that mondstadt will finally get its well needed explanations in lore because there are so many mysteries regarding mondstadt and venti that we for sure need answers to, and i'm sure we'll get them in dornman port and the dandelion sea if they get released
There's like 50 different areas that are not included on the current map of Teyvat that we have. Delaying Snezhnaya to explore those areas makes sense.
I think it is pretty cool that we are getting like a prologue for snezhnaya, stall tactic or not, it’s building the hype and it makes my expectations higher… I’m really hoping it lives up to those expectations
From money view its a little pp move BUT from story view, its fucking genius to build up more hype and to build up the preasure and when theat gate will be cracked open, plyers will get brain damage from tons of lore
Nod Krai will come in Natlan patch cycle, they talked about the content to release soon in that segment of the stream, "soon" being like "in next 6 months" which is barely close to 6.0, but not enough
dont u realize how fast the story is? and how often they release a new character? u dont need to be dumb by saying they hate cryo. the story is too fast paced considering everything that happened in natlan and scheznaya having the great importance on teyvat's story
I'm actually hyped for this if it's true, I like the idea of them wrapping up some loose ends in a world tour before entering the final arc, and I like the idea of them giving us a small taste of Snezhnaya before we get to the full story, I don't want it to be rushed like Inazuma where there was too much going on and not enough time to tell the story properly. Mondstadt in particular needs some attention again, there's so much left to unpack there. Also, there's too many Harbingers for us to get through yet and I was wondering how we were going to manage all of them in one nation in a satisfying way. Plus, the game has been building up to the Hexenzirkel being more important lately, with Imaginarium Theater and Simulanka being center stage, so I wonder if we'll finally get to learn more about them, and there's also Durin. We might finally get to meet Alice and it'd be a lot to get through in one version alone.
Snezhnaya is not the last region. It is just the region with the last element, Cryo. Looking back at the Teyvat Trailer, there is one more region after Snezhnaya, where Dansleif is.
I mean it seems on schedule like we had lots of fillers, it’s like the chasm, the dessert, the extra islands inazuma, that one island in Fontaine, dragonspine. So with all of those I’m not surprised with just a map expansion
I'm a bit sad about the delay, but if Hoyo is doing this to build up more hype then I'm sure Snezhnaya will be really worth the wait. And also, hearing there will be expansions of other regions is super exciting, places we have been hearing for so long finally being released is awesome, specially the Mare Jivari, that's gonna be so cool.
since it’ll be a full year version i hope we get map expansions every version to explore so everything ties up, bc we’ve been getting small details about certain regions that aren’t out. and if snezhnaya will include all regions i hope they tie up all loose ends
I like the Idea of Nod Krai, I want the DLC regions of other nations to release 1st, wrap up the story properly. I want to see more unique locations Teyvat has to offer like the Purple Sea in Inazuma. And I personally wouldn't mind playing Genshin's Teyvat chapter a bit longer, honestly. I'll be bold enough to predict that Nod Krai might revive the physical/shatter meta.
I thought additions like this will come after Snezhnaya, because the last chapter is supposed to be Kaenri'ah, but it's chapter number was blurred out in the story teaser.
From a player's perspective: YES, MORE CONTENT! WHOOO HOOO! Anyway, we never had any confirmation that snezhnaya would be the climax of the story. There have hints that there are story arcs after it.
No but think about teyvat interlude , it didn’t have anything between Fontaine and Snezhnaya it directly talks about tsartisa.This is highly unlikely.Though Nod Krai is snezhnaya’s part
Very interesting decision, but one I can get behind. I wonder if we're gonna get some big names, not just Columbina, but Alice, Varka, Madam Ping, maybe some of the sinners or the hexen witches. No new archon is gonna be iffy for them with sales, but some of those long awaited people could make up for it.
Diluc's story mentions that he has an associate in Snezhnaya, we might be meeting them in Nord Krai due to this said company relying in information and such after they helped Diluc escape the Fatui's Manhunt.
Makes sense, the main city with zapol-something palace is the tsaritsa + harbinger HQ. i dont think traveller can just waltz into the main palace having done what we've done 😅 We will have to prob be invited or earn our way into the palace
4:53 My guess is that maybe we won't be able to get in either for a blocade or something else. I mean, the Traveler is almost completely hostile with the Fatui, I don't think they'll just let him walk into their region like that.
Even though snezhnaya is being delayed i just hope that there's still some amazing archon quest because the archon quest is the thing that make me really love genshin. The story is what make me love genshin and if they delayed the archon quest i will most likely not play for an entire year because i play genshin for the story mostly and not for the character or gameplay or the open world, the archon quest is the thing that make me addicted so i hope the archon quest is not delay even though is not like the main snezhnaya archon quest i would still be happy if theres some main story stuff
In my opinion its nessecary because in the other six regions weve fought 3 harvingers so far and then the last region contains 9?!? In my opinion its really good to make atleast one less harbinger waiting in snezhnaya
Am I the only one who thinks it makes sense that we’re not heading straight for the palace? There’s still two harbingers and the Director to deal with, and there’s no way we could fly through all of them without it rushing the story. I like the pace Hoyo is going at for the final regions of Teyvat.
Kinda make sense it to be bigger since its the last archon and nod krai might have sone lore but it will be more like a big breath before the GIANT lore bomb that will be every patch
Why does everyone seem to assume that Snezhnaya will be the climax? We've know since the travail trailer that there are two more acts afterwards. If anything it seems a bit too early to start "stretching out" the story.
I honestly am okay with them releasing these areas, dandelion sea, mare jivari..It sounds interesting. But even after taking so long to release Snezhnaya if they don't make good amount of harbingers playable in 7.x it'll be annoying.
While, yes. Hoyo will make a lot of money by stretching this out, I also don't want a rushed story. I think most of us knew Snezhnaya was going to be a big update and a long story. This 6.0 update gives Hoyo a chance to close out a few storylines and answer a few questions we've had for a little while with the map expansions. This also gives players who might not be caught up a chance to catch up a bit.
Most importantly, we will find out what will happen to Abyss in the Last Natlan arc( almost end of Abyss or only in Natlan) , then some images will almost clear.
The game hasnt been building up to sheznaya. Sure its showing us how the tsarita is. But sheznaya is just a stepping stone. Our sibling doesnt keep talking about the faitui or sheznaya. They tell us to complete our journey aka visit the 7 nations. Venti even in the beginning hides stuff from us and tells us to meet him again after finishing the 7 nations. Sheznaya is just the last of the 7 nations. Its not the story its main objective. Again tsarita is a big player but its just that.
As a mobile player the limited time areas and other things being on the permanent map scares me. Will My phone be able to take it? Forget that do I even have enough SPACE???

The formula of getting to a new region and solving all of their issues is getting old
I think it's a great idea to go back to older regions and tie everything together before reaching main snezhnaya
All of the past regions have effectively seen zero development since their archon quest was finished, and I feel like there are a lot of people that have unfinished business with snezhnaya
An interconnected story involving multiple regions and characters sounds great, some of my favorite moments are seeing characters outside their home region
Snezhnaya was never announced for a specific date so it was never delayed.
Nord Krai could mean something like north country, so i think it will be north to mondstadt and will connect mondstadt's port, which we still dont have with snezhnaya. Nord Krai may also serve a simillar purpose to the outsider's island in inazuma(i forgot the name)
We've been trying to stop the Tsaritsa's plan and were always a thorn in the Fatui's side ''' Jumping straight into Snezhnaya '' wouldn't make sense since we might not be welcome, so this slow more cautious lead up is more lore accurate
Yeah, it'll be weird if we just walk right in there.
"one does not simply walk into Snezhnaya"
The MC literally not on opposition of fatui , he helped arlechino lyney capitano and tartagila , he's only was against scara who wasn't a fatui then
@kingdoom5022 idk, I think he is against them, what happened to venti, the multiple times he fought some lower rank fatuis and when he knew that lyney was from the fatuis, he wasn't ok with it till he got to meet them, when he meet capitano he was careful, when he was in inazuma he got signora killed and the word "fatui" isn't exactly something he would think as "friends" or "not against them", instead it's "what did the fatuis did this time".
@@militarfuturi1940they lean more on neutral side. Sure they're hostile at the beginning, but as the story goes they're becoming more open but still doesn't trust them. They're willing to help as long as it is beneficial for both party. The only faction that the Traveler very against with are just the abyss order. They don't even want to help the abyss order.
Skirk releasing right before the khaenriah region, seems likely she'll have influence on the next region, gameplay and lore wise both. Which means we're getting the abyss element soon!!(Copium)
At this rate, the remaining Harbingers will also become playable characters... except for special cases like Signora ;)
And dotore too. He is too evil to be playable. Many characters like diluc and scara wants to kill him on sight
i honestly dont mind at all, in fact im glad, lets them cook up the next arc of the story and make it as good as possible
they talked abt nod krai in their plans for the next 6 months which means it would be in 5.6 or .7 so it has nothing to do with 6.0
I hope so I can't wait until 2026
I think this is a great move since we've so much characters yet to see. We haven't met many characters that we've teased with. AND DON'T FORGET ABOUT HEXENZIRKEL. I guess this filler patch would be really great.
Alice, the other witches from hex, Varka, Fatuis and so many other characters that we've yet to meet and potentially getting released. I'm really excited
maaan i'm so excited, i've been fearing genshin's end being soon so i kinda like that it's delayed lol, i think they may be releasing this new area to give us time to become stronger for actual Snezhnaya, it seems like it's going to be the hardest region and they may add new gameplay styles that we're far from comfortable with, it makes me excited to think it's going to be a very hard region like dragonspine when you're low ar... idk idk i'm just happy to be here and i love that this will last more than i was expecting
You do realise that Genshin is not going to end after Snezhnaya, right?
Trust maybe genshin 1.0 ends after all, but they gonna do 100% genshin 2.0
keep in mind, we have to get through khaenriah/celestia before the game actually finishes
@@NoEnemys Yeah, like it's Hoyo's most popular (most popular gacha in general) and profitable game. Why would they stop supporting it? xD
it won't end at all. It said teyvat CHAPTER. not the whole storyline
What would be amazing from a story prospective, would be if we meet the Tsaritsa in Nod Krai but as a seemingly nondescript background character (Maybe some "NPC" we befriend/help during the story quest) with the reveal of who she really is not coming until the end of 6.8.
Ok, hear me out. What if Nod Krai *is* the main course, and the actual region itself is a long dessert with its own unique flavor.
I think that Nod Krai may be a good opportunity for the player to not only get used to the cold, but also keep the player alert since Snezhnaya is supposedly the most hostile nation due to the fact we’ve encountered the fatui so many times. It wouldn’t be surprising if the people of Snezhnaya would be cold to us (get it?).
But, if we have someone from within the harbinger guide us through Nod Krai, say Columbina, then the player would warm up to her. But then at the peak of the Nod Krai arc, we’d have a brief boss battle against Columbina (since she was attached to La Signora and we sorta killed her). After the fight ends, she officially announces that she’s convinced to join us on our journey.
Then again this is a long cry for what HoYo is planning, and what I said is all a theory on what could happen in later patches.
U should help them with this patches storyline cuz that actually would be enjoyable
I understand, but i dont think theyre using it for profit, probably because snezhnaya and some regions in Monstadt yet to cover have alot of lore to cover they have to make some parts seperate, making us fully understand the lore. And theyre trying to make every harbinger playable, we'll probably meet them one by one in regions of snezhnaya. Plus, dont worry, I bet genshin would still be fun even with the delays. And, theres no specific release or any confirmation of delays, we'll have to see after they confirm it.
And I dont want them to rush out the archon quest, plus snezhnaya isnt the last region we'll explore, theres the sea of flowers, Celestia and god knows whats next? Maybe the last region will be Monstadt, as we havent covered much lore.
I doubt genshin will end in 3 years or so, might take 5 years lol
Let's stop our plans for another year my dear Harbingers, Traveler is going to a vacation.
considering Snezhnaya is the last element nation we unlock, I like this way the way they are taking this.
Fullstop Chan is the MVP of leakers
That's nothing to be proud of, He/She belongs to the Jail.
I just wanna see what the Tsaritsa look like I’m excited for that
She was REALLY talkin her shit this video. I completely agree with everything that was said, especially the part about the calculated releases. Not everybody has this skill to think like a developer and put themselves in that perspective and I enjoyed how honest it was because I hadn't even thought about most of that until she brought it up.
I just want to feel that intense emotions I felt during fontaine quest but in more grand level❤❤😳😳....
Woah...feels I'm a bit too early 😂
Wow congratulations for being first
Honestly after I drunkenly decided to c6 wanderer on his first banner I don't want this game to end until I've played enough to justify that one drunken decision. (He cost me 400 so it could have been much worse lol)
If 6.x does end up focusing on a lot of other locations across Teyvat, I hope it involves characters from all nations too. I would love to see characters from all over interact with each other in a big way (we already get this in events with nations crossing over but I’d love to see it in more important stories like the archon quest).
I also like the idea that this might fill in the gaps in the game’s map. There are still some areas that feel weirdly hidden for some reason. I would love to see the map to finally fill the whole screen with explorable areas when I view the game map.
My concern now is if this doesn’t end up being what we expect like having great overarching stories, great map expansions, etc or if it doesn’t deliver as well as we thought that it might feel like a giant series of filler patches (I hope I’m wrong with this one). Are we even gonna get the Cryo archon in 6.x?
My other concern is are we gonna get more restrictive mechanics like in Natlan? They gave us Pneuma and Ousia in Fontaine and while that one barely makes an impact in gameplay, Natlan’s nightsoul blessing is a bit different. I get that they need to implement new mechanics to get us to pull new characters but I wish they don’t do it the way they did Natlan’s mechanics. It’s creative and can be fun at times but I have so many problems with it that it would take me so much time to explain them in just one comment lol. With Nod Krai being the focus of 6.x and Shneznaya releasing in 7.x, I’m concerned that they might release two waves of characters with unique mechanics similar to Pneumousia and Nightsoul (new mechanic in 6.0 and new one in 7.0).
If they do, I hope they make improvements with how they implemented Nightsoul blessing and make it work well with older characters, not have exploration mechanics that’s only good in their respective regions, and not gatekeep quality of life features behind limited characters (like grapple with Kinich, flying with Chasca and Mavuika, etc). I hope they do a good balance of between Pneumousia and Nightsoul where Pneumousia does not feel restrictive but feels useless sometimes and Nightsoul being super interesting and at times fun but feeling pretty restrictive. I hope this makes sense.
i like this better though with how they will expand regions of other nations as well. snezhnaya's story is very connected to every nation so its good that we will take time wrapping up every region and prolonging the story
I really want a weekly boss to appear in Enkanomiya, because there's virtually nothing except for the abyssmal vishap heard
Enkanomiya is a fascinating zone. I love it.
This is actually A smart move because we basically going to the fatuis stronghold take the whole year of 2025 wrapping up business with the other regions preparing to enter end game
Dev : 6.0 will be Nod Krai instead of Snezhnaya
Player : trying to "Not Cry" in 6.0
I'm expecting it's all just ironing out surrounding regions, catching up with all their unimplemented plans and slowly introducing jaw dropping lore before slowly converging into one.
So they are going all out on snezhnaya thats good for me. Im saving for c6 Tsaritsa
The tsaritsa probably isn't gonna be playable she's seemed like a big baddie
@@mystic_13 Watch traveller purifying tsaritsa's cold heart with talk no jutsu and makes her good, then she Will be playable xD
Why c6 do you think she will be gamechanger in meta or do you like her unknown play style
@@Flewfaraway i just like her for some reason. It's called love without seeing someone. I just like her based on how she handles fatui. Idk what kind of character she will be. I just love her. Thats all
@@mystic_13baddie? She's the goddess of love, and has a plan to "wage war against the divine", "burn away the old world", to usher in a new era of peace for mankind
The fatui are just ready to make ANY sacrifice to realize that
Uhhh i literally cant wait!!!! I want more harbingers content😭
Y’all I feel like it’s more likely that they focus on other parts of the map AFTER the snezhnaya arc bc if you remember in the travail teaser act 6 is snezhnaya while the khanriah act is blurred out. So this means we will either go somewhere else before Khanriah or then they will focus on other nations maps.
Honestly that makes a lot more sense then what all these other people are saying. A lot of them arguing trying to say that Snezhnaya is going to be the last region we're going to get in this game. Like they also forgot that there's the abyss and Khanriah. I know they're supposedly rumors about genshin impact having another game, genshin 2 but I'm starting to think they're just going to add those two regions to this game cuz it won't make sense to add them to a different game. Honestly I'm also starting to think people just want this game to end way too fast.
congrats for 150k subscriberss!!
Thank you so much
4:05 Skirk is a Fatui Harbinger? I get she’s Childe’s master but that doesn’t make her part of the Fatui, does it? Unless I missed something in the lore.
@@TheWindsofWonder no she’s not a harbinger. Only Jester (leader) the Captain, the Doctor, the Damselette, the Knave, the Rooster, (ex-Scaramouche), Marionette, Signora, Regrator and Childe are the Fatui Harbingers. Skirk is from another world based on Childe’s namecard, (which I take to be literal and not poetic language) which states: “Yet his “Foul Legacy” was not originally his. Rather, it was taught to him by that solitary girl who dwelt in the darkest corners of the universe”
No, she isn't. I think they just made a mistake
I take all of that with a grain of salt, because this seem weird.
After all, they says long ago that chapter 6 would be Scheznaya.
So maybe yes, Nod krai is for 6.0, but the main city appear later in the update (like 6.2 or later), and this would be different from every other nation where the main city is one of the first things you visit in the new region.
Also, I see a full update series with only new side region to other nation after scheznaya, since Khaenriah arc isn't numbered, and many things could happen before khaenriah.
Also, I see more the mare jivari for the 5.x update, since it's a part of Natlan. It would probably be a region like petrichor and the sea of begone eras, with one part in Teyvat and an other part outside teyvat.
But I wait the 5.4 beta to confirm if another region is planned after the great volcano of Tollan and the collective of plenty. If we doesn't reach 270 pyrocculus in 5.4, 100% another region for natlan is planned.
the story is still long, other than snezhnaya, there's still the hexenzirkle and the sinners of khaenria. there are also some areas in mondstadt that needs to be explored.
true that
This could actually be a really good idea, particularly for the cryo characters that get sparce reruns. And given the fact that the nod krai story will take place throughout the map, they could rerun those same characters with each new region addition (eula for dorman port, shenhe for black Cliff forge, efc).
Of course this is my personal hope and speculation on what exactly hoyo is thinking n I could be off base completely BUT it's a good idea for the players retention and just a generally good business tactic
In the live stream they said that those hints are planned to come within the next 6 months, which means Nod Krai is expected to come before the summer event patch, it will still be part of 5.x updates and Snezhnaya can still be in 6.x.
2:50 , RIP MY PHONE
You’ve really made me think more logically and not just be upset that we won’t get Snezhnaya in 6.0. Now I’m kinda hyped for that we could get instead. Thanks Raiden!
To be honest, there's nothing that guarantees the game will end with Snezhnaya.
There's a floating citadel of the gods that we've seen in the distance since the very beginning, and just reaching it could justify another entire year of gameplay, potentially unlocking new, never-before-seen areas of the map.
Not to mention, there's nothing stopping us from having a whole expansion set in the Abyss. Personally, I'd love to see an underground expansion similar to the Chasm, but with darker vibes. After all, there's no reason to assume the Abyss is uninhabited-it could have its own ecosystem, maybe even with horror elements, like something out of Ravenloft.
I believe Genshin Impact will keep getting expansions as long as it sells well enough to justify new content.
Considering the increasing power creep in Honkai Star Rail and the declining interest in Zenless Zone Zero, Genshin clearly remains Mihoyo's flagship title.
So why would they shut everything down?
"To be honest, there's nothing that guarantees the game will end with Snezhnaya."
Based on the Travails trailer, there are at least two other parts post-Snezhnaya, so they damn well better not be ending it in Snezhnaya (unless they do some kind of fakeout 'bogus ending' that leads into Khaenriah).
I think since you claimed that the 7.x will be all 6 other regions included aswell, they are likely making 6.x snezhnaya focused, then 7.x fatui/teyvat based
although its such a long wait, im happy that mondstadt will finally get its well needed explanations in lore because there are so many mysteries regarding mondstadt and venti that we for sure need answers to, and i'm sure we'll get them in dornman port and the dandelion sea if they get released
There's like 50 different areas that are not included on the current map of Teyvat that we have. Delaying Snezhnaya to explore those areas makes sense.
I think it is pretty cool that we are getting like a prologue for snezhnaya, stall tactic or not, it’s building the hype and it makes my expectations higher… I’m really hoping it lives up to those expectations
From money view its a little pp move BUT from story view, its fucking genius to build up more hype and to build up the preasure and when theat gate will be cracked open, plyers will get brain damage from tons of lore
Nod Krai will come in Natlan patch cycle, they talked about the content to release soon in that segment of the stream, "soon" being like "in next 6 months" which is barely close to 6.0, but not enough
if its true that columbina is a necromancer, id assume shed be similar to furina in playstyle, creating summons then switching to main dps
I already saw a video about this and I’m depressed. Does hoyo hate cryo that much?
dont u realize how fast the story is? and how often they release a new character? u dont need to be dumb by saying they hate cryo. the story is too fast paced considering everything that happened in natlan and scheznaya having the great importance on teyvat's story
@ was that an insult or…
@@Anything-f8q hes just rage baiting
Blame Ayaka lol(200 dya banner)
I think because nod krai is also a part of the cryo region it will also bring new cryo units so dont worry!:)
I'm actually hyped for this if it's true, I like the idea of them wrapping up some loose ends in a world tour before entering the final arc, and I like the idea of them giving us a small taste of Snezhnaya before we get to the full story, I don't want it to be rushed like Inazuma where there was too much going on and not enough time to tell the story properly. Mondstadt in particular needs some attention again, there's so much left to unpack there. Also, there's too many Harbingers for us to get through yet and I was wondering how we were going to manage all of them in one nation in a satisfying way. Plus, the game has been building up to the Hexenzirkel being more important lately, with Imaginarium Theater and Simulanka being center stage, so I wonder if we'll finally get to learn more about them, and there's also Durin. We might finally get to meet Alice and it'd be a lot to get through in one version alone.
Snezhnaya is not the last region. It is just the region with the last element, Cryo. Looking back at the Teyvat Trailer, there is one more region after Snezhnaya, where Dansleif is.
Yes khaendriah, I guess that will come in 8.0 and probably celestia is 9.0 💀
I don't want the game to be over .
I mean it seems on schedule like we had lots of fillers, it’s like the chasm, the dessert, the extra islands inazuma, that one island in Fontaine, dragonspine. So with all of those I’m not surprised with just a map expansion
I'm a bit sad about the delay, but if Hoyo is doing this to build up more hype then I'm sure Snezhnaya will be really worth the wait.
And also, hearing there will be expansions of other regions is super exciting, places we have been hearing for so long finally being released is awesome, specially the Mare Jivari, that's gonna be so cool.
As long as genshin release new areas to explore and new story lines....it's honestly fine....IDC when shneznaya is coming....
This is honestly great news. I view this as Snezhnaya being so huge, that its story has to be released over two years.
since it’ll be a full year version i hope we get map expansions every version to explore so everything ties up, bc we’ve been getting small details about certain regions that aren’t out. and if snezhnaya will include all regions i hope they tie up all loose ends
I like the Idea of Nod Krai, I want the DLC regions of other nations to release 1st, wrap up the story properly. I want to see more unique locations Teyvat has to offer like the Purple Sea in Inazuma. And I personally wouldn't mind playing Genshin's Teyvat chapter a bit longer, honestly.
I'll be bold enough to predict that Nod Krai might revive the physical/shatter meta.
This is really sick love that they are trying new stuff and adding to the old regions
If you've been paying attention, the story wasnt meant to end in anime Russia.
I thought additions like this will come after Snezhnaya, because the last chapter is supposed to be Kaenri'ah, but it's chapter number was blurred out in the story teaser.
From a player's perspective: YES, MORE CONTENT! WHOOO HOOO! Anyway, we never had any confirmation that snezhnaya would be the climax of the story. There have hints that there are story arcs after it.
No but think about teyvat interlude , it didn’t have anything between Fontaine and Snezhnaya it directly talks about tsartisa.This is highly unlikely.Though Nod Krai is snezhnaya’s part
Very interesting decision, but one I can get behind. I wonder if we're gonna get some big names, not just Columbina, but Alice, Varka, Madam Ping, maybe some of the sinners or the hexen witches. No new archon is gonna be iffy for them with sales, but some of those long awaited people could make up for it.
Diluc's story mentions that he has an associate in Snezhnaya, we might be meeting them in Nord Krai due to this said company relying in information and such after they helped Diluc escape the Fatui's Manhunt.
Congratulations on 150k 🎉🎉🎉
Thank you!!
Makes sense, the main city with zapol-something palace is the tsaritsa + harbinger HQ. i dont think traveller can just waltz into the main palace having done what we've done 😅
We will have to prob be invited or earn our way into the palace
4:53 My guess is that maybe we won't be able to get in either for a blocade or something else. I mean, the Traveler is almost completely hostile with the Fatui, I don't think they'll just let him walk into their region like that.
So will there be a replacement for the archon that was supposed to come every X.2/X.3??
I love you sm. honestly you saved me and my primos. THANK YOU!!
Even though snezhnaya is being delayed i just hope that there's still some amazing archon quest because the archon quest is the thing that make me really love genshin. The story is what make me love genshin and if they delayed the archon quest i will most likely not play for an entire year because i play genshin for the story mostly and not for the character or gameplay or the open world, the archon quest is the thing that make me addicted so i hope the archon quest is not delay even though is not like the main snezhnaya archon quest i would still be happy if theres some main story stuff
In my opinion its nessecary because in the other six regions weve fought 3 harvingers so far and then the last region contains 9?!? In my opinion its really good to make atleast one less harbinger waiting in snezhnaya
Nod Krai to Snezhnaya is what Enkanomiya to Inazuma.
They are technically part of the nations, but lorewise, they are not.
A little disappointed we won’t get to fully explore sneznahya (hope I spelt that right), but excited nonetheless! :D
Am I the only one who thinks it makes sense that we’re not heading straight for the palace? There’s still two harbingers and the Director to deal with, and there’s no way we could fly through all of them without it rushing the story. I like the pace Hoyo is going at for the final regions of Teyvat.
Dandelion sea isn't gonna be a place, it was literally just a local legend written in a storybook and that was it
Kinda make sense it to be bigger since its the last archon and nod krai might have sone lore but it will be more like a big breath before the GIANT lore bomb that will be every patch
I believe Nod Krai will be there in version 5 itself. Whatever they showed in livestream it's for version 5.
6.X might be where project Stuzha comes into play if anyone remembers that.
Why does everyone seem to assume that Snezhnaya will be the climax? We've know since the travail trailer that there are two more acts afterwards. If anything it seems a bit too early to start "stretching out" the story.
I have a strong feeling we will get some strong honkai star rail themes in this next region
I honestly am okay with them releasing these areas, dandelion sea, mare jivari..It sounds interesting. But even after taking so long to release Snezhnaya if they don't make good amount of harbingers playable in 7.x it'll be annoying.
While, yes. Hoyo will make a lot of money by stretching this out, I also don't want a rushed story. I think most of us knew Snezhnaya was going to be a big update and a long story. This 6.0 update gives Hoyo a chance to close out a few storylines and answer a few questions we've had for a little while with the map expansions. This also gives players who might not be caught up a chance to catch up a bit.
Most importantly, we will find out what will happen to Abyss in the Last Natlan arc( almost end of Abyss or only in Natlan) , then some images will almost clear.
I feel like they wanted us to be ready for anything that would be happen in new region
Our last journey will fall down to Khanria'h were things begin in the first place
I man Genshin's lore has more than just Snezhnaya.
There is still Khaenri'ah, Celestia, the Abyss and maybe whatever is beyond the false sky.
We need to start saving up for a NASA database equivalent storage for snezhnaya 💀
The game hasnt been building up to sheznaya.
Sure its showing us how the tsarita is.
But sheznaya is just a stepping stone.
Our sibling doesnt keep talking about the faitui or sheznaya. They tell us to complete our journey aka visit the 7 nations.
Venti even in the beginning hides stuff from us and tells us to meet him again after finishing the 7 nations.
Sheznaya is just the last of the 7 nations. Its not the story its main objective. Again tsarita is a big player but its just that.
As a mobile player the limited time areas and other things being on the permanent map scares me. Will My phone be able to take it? Forget that do I even have enough SPACE???
Tysm for always telling us :)
Congrats on 150k subscribers!!!!!!!😄
