This is by far the best dev interaction, ever. Less scripted, more players issue discussion, and the whole discussion is just heartwarming somehow. Also, the QoL changes are MASSIVE
First of all, let me thank Wuthering Waves for kicking Hoyo, especially Genshin devs to their wake. 😂 Genshin finally addresses a lot of problems. Overall i call this a small w for genshin.
@@Altair-161 Nah, shut, don't create WuWa Vs Genshin war under my comment. I love both game and we really need to learn on appreciating both game as they push each other to create better content.
The fact that this is the longest livestream for Genshin is crazy! They added a lot of good improvements, I am really excited for Nathan and the future of Genshin.
As a Zimbabwean, its soo wholesome to see the mbira being played amongst other legendary and beautiful musical instruments. Its been a while but I tip my hat to you Hoyoverse, from the music, attention to detail and quality, you've managed to inspire me again.🙏🏾
@@drakeobadal-sp7xfpaimon is depicted as a kid and not a 40 year old, so it is natural for her to ask such a question without filters as seen many times before as well. Also those people who get offended by something so minute are the real racists
@@AxelMorrison-fl1wpmy mother said back in the day when the two sides met the language was pretty much created simply from speaking to each other over the years. hence why they overlap.
Tbh, I never expected swahili in the natlan music. Pleasant surprise. As a kenyan and a swahili speaker, I've never been more proud of this one. I love hearing exotic instruments incorporated into an orchestra similar to sumeru. That is what made sumeru music so good and that is probably going to happen in natlan as well. Its a fresh taste on music that our ears aren't used to and that's what makes it good
I personally love it too, it amazes me the understanding of music someone has to have to be able to include such a huge variety of instruments that are not so known to people and lyrics as well! I guess it's a team effort but wow it's so unbelievably beautiful ❤ I feel it brings other cultures that aren't that widespread closer to more people and gosh, I can't get enough of that ❤
Yes! As a Tanzanian Swahili speaker I had to listen to the music again! I was so surprised that they used Swahili and love how the language is being shared across this region and amongst other players
The Choir and the Orchestral accompanyment is IMMACULATE. As a former orchestral musician myself, I got goosebumps (especially the first piece) as I listened. I am also impressed at the attention to detail in that they brought a whole host of artists well versed in their cultural-based musical traditions. Astute in selection and culturally respectful in execution, I can say with full confidence that their performance was superb. Bravo to all musicians and artists.
I liked the light-heartedness and the banter between Dawei and the devs, this felt like actually casual conversation apart from the obviously scripted parts where information was revealed That was really cool
The couple playing the panpipes and flutes at 1:38:07 are family friends I’ve known for years. Recently their only son has passed away at the age 14 and I can’t imagine the pain they must be feeling. I’m sure he would’ve been immensely proud that they could spread Peruvian culture through such a famous platform. I wish my condolences and nothing but the best for this family and although it’s been years since I’ve seen them, I hope their son can rest peacefully ❤🇵🇪
Imagine they add more teapot furniture but don't set them by region so we'll have to scroll like deeper than the abyss and the phone users will burn their fingers until they reach down there.
I loved the concert segments and hearing the VA anecdotes. I think I would listen to Keith Silverstein read the phone book. That man speaks with the voice of a god.
Holy smokes! Free 5 star every year, more 5 stars added to standard, higher rate for event 5 star, 20 to 30 free wishes, weapon banner only 1 point, the devs actually did it. 😭
it's not the Dev. it's Product team. Dev team only do what Product team decided. so, after all this time, where players complaining about Weapon banner is a scam or the guarantee pity is too high, it's because Product team didn't give the green light to the Dev team to do the changes
As a loyal Genshin lover for years I'm actually moved to tears by this livestream lol. The comments from our friends in Africa about the music, all the changes they've made for our enjoyment of the game, everything is beautiful. Love to Hoyo and love to the players
Already the 6th region, time goes by so quickly, I still remember when this game first released. It's so great to see the game and its community coming this far, I'm so excited to see what the future holds for us, wish you all the best!
The 4 years journey with this game has been the most enjoyable time for me. I can't wait for Natlan! We are about to see what they've been cooking very soon!
As a player from v1.0 its true time flies so fast. When I start playing this game there's only Mondstadt and Liyue. But now we got Inazuma, Sumeru, Fontaine and now Natlan is coming.
Hoyoverse, thank you so much for doing your best to give this many people what they want. You really don't get enough credit for being so willing to adapt, even though it does take a while for changes to be made. You are one of the only game companies that seriously reads, considers, and implements every single piece of community feedback, and that is such a difficult thing to pull off. Happy 4 years, and here's to many more.
This... this is what the game needed, not another event, not just minigame rewards, not another single wish, we needed a complete CELEBRATION, a reunion that shows why people play Genshin. And now is every year, better late that never. This is what I was hoping for so long and I could not be more glad that it finally happen, we finally have a Anniversary to be excited for, rejoice everyone and have fun.
er.... i mean - welcome to the version update stream, there's no events cuz new region. just so happens it coincided with anniv - which is A DIFFERENT CELEBRATION FROM LANTERN RITE, WHICH GAVE 10+3 rolls. also what single wish lmao? little bro, they gave out 20 every anniv. are you mixing the nonsense spread around?
Yes!! It couldn't have come at a better time. I'm having surgery next month and will be out of work for 4 weeks so I'll be at home dealing with some pain, but I'm definitely gonna spend some of time playing Genshin and immersing myself in Natlan! It will definitely help me get through this hiccup!
I know people have been talking about how "genshin doesnt feel the same anymore" but this? This feels like genshin, this is the most excited ive been to explore a new place in a while, and honestlt despite people complaints about it not being "war ravaged" enough, i think both the scenery and the story teasers we got look fuckinv awesome, i think we could actually get some really cool lore here
One thing i would have liked them to explain is why Natlan has always been, since 1.0, the region we had least info about, we only knew of Natlan through bits and pieces of conversations with NPCs and Archons
ISTG they'll say that for every region. If Genshin changes up the aesthetic they'll complain that it doesn't feel like old Genshin. If Genshin stays the same, they'll complain that the game is stagnating. There's no winning against these haters
Nah, man. Genshin treated its community like absolute garbage and forced them to be silent about it. They can't make us forget about the three major incidents they committed. People have to learn to stop defending big companies like these and look further into their mistakes. Also, the player base, for the most part, is awful. Which basically means that good criticism... can't be listened too. I get the hate for people pointing out every little minor detail that triggers them like "not enough dark color skin characters" lol
I believe it's that early because of the hoyofest, I saw at some point that this livestream is apparently the longest one and is supposed to be at 1hr and 40min (more or less) not sure how accurate it is
Idk if the devs read the comments on the videos or not, but i just want to express ny sincere gratitude to the team at Hoyoverse who has worked on this game for 4 years. Genshin has gotten me through some dark seasons in my life. It has been my escape from many things and has inspired me in different ways through the stories and music. Thank you! A fan since launch! And a fan for life! I'm ready for the next adventure! P.S. I'm having a major surgery next month and will be home for 4 weeks, so the new update couldn't have come at a better time. Best believe imma be exploring Natlan to the fullest!
I'm not gunna lie, Dawei's message at the end made me really sentimental. You can tell he really loves the game. If they ever scroll through the comments, I just wanna say, thank you. Thank you for making my most beloved game.
WAIT THEY ACC COOKED THIS PATCH SO HARD. INCREASED 50/50 CHANCE, WEAPON BANNER FIX, FREE 5 STAR, ARTIFACT OPTIMZATIONS AND LIKE SO MUCH MORE. AND ACC SO MUCH MORE REWARDS. THEY LITERALLY COOKED.
@@Latte_1.0 it's a difference. Shenhe already runned 3 times, while wrio isn't even getting his first rerun, normally character getting their first rerun soon after release, even counting for Furina (released after Wrio) and Navia (released after him and runned before him making her running as fast as archons). In fact Wrio got the record for the longest time between release and first rerun ever. Not even shenhe needed to wait that long for her first rerun.
@@NeroTheBoop yeah what's with her, her last rerun was in 4.5 and her gap between release and first rerun were 6 versions in both cases she reruns faster and more frequently than wriothesley. 👀
Every time I tune in to the annual region livestream, I'm nearly brought to tears. The passion is literally bleeding from every possible place, from the set and devs' interactions, to the content of the update itself. Hoyo has created something truly special, and I'm glad to have been a part of the community for nearly its entire lifespan. And especially when we live in a industry where greed and money are king (albeit mostly applies to western game companies), Genshin Impact is a beautiful diamond in the rough, with developers and staff whose determination and care is for the most part unmatched. Additionally, seeing the English VAs is always a welcome treat, it's really nice and memorable that Hoyo makes sure to give them the spotlight, when they do as much work as anyone else in contributing to this amazing experience. I will play Genshin Impact for years to come, never stop doing what you do best Hoyo, no matter what. P.S. WOW I was thinking to myself they should make another world level for the really strong players so the overworld isn't a complete steamroll, it's gotten to the point where I only use 1 or 2 characters lol. Looking forward to it!
It's crazy to me that Natlan is already here. I felt like Fontaine came out yesterday; and it'll just be a year until Snezhnaya is released, and 2 years until we get a possible Abyss or Celestia arc. That basically means we might be at the end of Genshin's story in just a few years.
1.0 player here. I can't believe I stuck around for almost 5 years. It has been an amazing journey with ups and downs. A year from now we'll be meeting with the rest of the Harbingers. Honestly crazy to think about yet here we are.
This livestream was so great! The orchestral performance was INCREDIBLE! Give the musicians all the awards possible!! And the Teyvat Talks was wonderful. Furthermore, all the great reveals and sincerity from the Genshin dev team were a great surprise too. Great work everyone!
Hear me out, this is the best genshin livestream ever... The new features and the VA's messages literally made my day... Thanks Hoyoverse for wanting me to play again Genshin
IS NO ONE GONNA TALK ABOUT HOW GODLY AND AMAZING THIS MUSIC IS??? HOLYYYYY I WAS SO EXCITED FOR IT AND THEY DID NOT DISSAPOINT. im gonna go back to funding hoyo-mix on spotify with my 40 hour playlist
the team’s interactions felt so much more candid this year!! i actually loved this livestream so much, thank you everyone involved (especially michael for the incredibly confused and shocked reactions)
@@clebissimocalvo not really, it's the same time. actually, a little less because we're still in fountaine. and even less if you count in the beta and alpha versions
This livestream has SO much personality. The way the devs are talking and presenting the new content and the VA’s quiz is so refreshing and fun. I love it!
2:07:25 I was caught SO off guard with that voice like if any other voice actor talks about their voice sounding different than their character they aren't even CLOSE
Yeah, Erin Yvette has _massive_ vocal range, she also did the siren in Hades 2, and that voice is even _more_ different than her normal voice! _and she sings!!_
As a Kenyan, I'm moved to TEARS listening to the song and music. The song is heroic, commanding boldness in the face of death to defend the homeland, which is how we earned our independence and lost many freedom fighters. It is impressive to see Genshin Impact daring to delve into African spirit and culture, especially including Swahili music, lyrics and African instruments. Whoa! Genshin impact forever! 🎉❤👏👏👏
Such a few amount of games dare to go down that path. I genuinely love hearing about cultures that we otherwise never would experience where I live. It's heartwarming
and the people getting angry about representation are either not even players or white themselves most of the time. Mihoyo is insanely good at showing off actual cultures to a certain degree.
This might actually be their best Livestream yet. For the reason they showed the devs behind everything just playing the game and chilling, sharing their experience. Say what y'all wanna state what y'all want but the amount of work, love and effort they slap into Genshin for the yearly journey... Is one to salute to. For all the people playing Genshin for years now... Thank you for being in this journey, and i hope everyone gets to see the ending together. (And RIP all the people that didnt get to 🙏) We only have possibly 3 years left of the story. Let's be mature for once and enjoy the journey.
the devs have always been good, you can't fake the amount of lore and life put into the world of teyvat with a paycheck and crunch time. The people actually making the game care about it. The problem is the higher-ups who demand to squeeze every tiny cent out of players and be stingy with primos.
@@ravissary79 🤦♂️ tap settings in the video... Go to "Caption" and pick English. They had it from the start and the automated messages already thought everyone how to do it.
Okay first I want to say a huge THANK YOU! to everyone in team for working so hard for us players and never fail on delivering. I understand everyone had to do so much in order to give us such incredible story and lore. Thank you to Hoyo-Mix, the music is also pleasant and fitting. Each time I hear a new soundtrack I get goosebumps at how amazing they sound. All the optimisations the game had from the beginning to now has truly shaped the game for the better. Honestly I want shower everyone in the team with praises for their work. Thank you so much for making my journey so special in teyvat. And again, thank you to everyone for their work! Farewell Fontaine!
Loved the 4 year celebration! It was so cute to hear the devs and the va’s talking about how special genshin is to them, and as a Hoyo-mix enjoyer, the music showcase was amazing! I love that the music is always has natives playing it.
I know that this comment will probably get lost in the vast ocean of comments, but I want to say this.. Thank you. Thank all of you who work on Genshin Impact, from the Voice actors who bring these characters to life, to the Artists who design the beautiful landscapes, and everyone else who works hard to make this game the absolute gem that it is. Genshin Impact has done so much for me, I'm able to immerse myself in the story and feel like I am actually in Teyvat, interacting and fighting alongside the characters. This game has helped me make new friends as well, and now we talk about it together all the time. Congratulations on 4 years, and i wish you all the best of luck in the future! See you all in Natlan!
Ikr finding friends to talk about Genshin with and have fun with them is great! There's so much people don't see about Genshin and how much work goes into it!
Im actually quite speechless with the updates with the pulls and everything expecially with characters but the one that made me really happy was... the orchestra like oh my god it was beautiful i would just play that on loop and not get sick of it. But over all even though i came during late sumeru i would say that genshin has been doing well and im excited to see what the future has in store for them!
Why was that music so FIREEE tho. (See what I did there, cause is natlan). The music, the character design, the map, the music, all of it is just absolutely amazing 100%. Super duper excited 👍👍
The music in this game is always amazing. The lyrics added to the song puts further meaning into everything and the story it tells is so beautiful. I've always loved the music this game has and I'm so glad it continues to sound so good after all this time! The work of the singers and musicians is superb and I'm very thankful for the work Hoyoverse has put in to the music in this game. Thank you!
Micheal is amazing with his natural style of acting. It is really a delight to see his interaction with Aquaria. It really feels like the Genshin Team has come a long way from clearly reading cue cards to a more natural flow and personal presence. ☺👍
2:00:17 And that is lowkey the best scene in the game and one of the reasons it is is because of her insane voice acting. You feel that crying, that fear, that dispair so deeply thanks to her voice, I felt like I was about to cry on that scene (and I'm not one to cry with anything tbh)
As a 1.0 veteran, I cant thank you enough for these benefits and QOL changes, devs. I am now more excited than ever to keep traveling! The symphony was absolutely beautiful as well, the music of teyvat has never once let me down these 4 years!
absolutely omg the music is always outstanding , the changes are so good, might actually have me wishing on the weapon banner again after i said i never would lmaooo
Listening to Dawei share about the difficulties and the road ahead of Ghenshin Impact, this is really touching. I hope Ghenshin will continue to grow stronger.
I can't believe we're about to enter Natlan, my life has completely changed since I started playing Genshin almost 4 years ago. The Natlan Symphony performance will be amazing I just know it!
@@OhHoneyBeehave you must be a really miserable person, if something bad like this changed your life. I hope you didn't give any money to devs who don't listen to players and try to disgust gamers with their very bad updates 🙏
I was a bit confused on why i felt like i understood the lyrics of the songs that were played because it felt like yapping but after that i realised they sang in Swahili. Never expected such a language to appear in the game
Wow, I was a bit bummed out this was 2 hours and thought I wouldn't watch it, but it was actually very fun for a video that's just supposed to introduce a new patch. I've always respected the devs for sharing the news themselves in a video instead of just patch notes and I love how they changed the heavily scripted variant with a more free and lighthearted appraoch here. The version trailer was awesome, I literally screamed when I saw Mavuika fight Il Capitano, I've been waiting for those two for very long. Also the fact that we're already getting an abyss invasion and we're not even in Kheanri'ah's arc yet is very interesting, I'd been wanting to see the abyss in action. Also the concept of the 6 tribes is pretty cool as well and I'm really excited to explore those as well. And of course the new characters and their traversal mechanics are really something, i've been saving up since the first teaser to get them. But even though I'm a lore fanatic and an oldschool player who enjoys character building and endgame dps checks, I'm most excited about the artifact crafting. I've been waiting and whining for this FOR YEARS, everywhere where there's been a mention of it. And after I've spent months trying to farm my Arlecchino and Clorinde's artifacts and getting, i kid you not a single good piece for what 3-4 months now, I can finally rest easy. And although I intended to skip over the music part because the video really is too long, I'm glad I didn't. Genshin's music team is insane and this is just on another level. I rarely go to concerts but if the next genshin concert is somewhere reasonably near, I'd go without a doubt. Fontaine's music was already on another level but the Natlan one is pure kino.
This is the longest and by far of the BEST Special Programs ever in Genshin history!!! I'm just so happy they added so many new QoL updates, the animations are complete fire, the singing and traditional instruments are impeccable. We're literally at the 6th nation, we've come this far. Words can't explain how emotional I am. Thank you for giving me such memorable times, Genshin Impact ❤
The Music performances gave me goosebumps. The lyrics are so amazing. I'm so excited for the new region. Excited to see the fight between Mauvika and Capitano. Good Luck to everyone's pulls.
For those of you that think that Da Wei would never sit down and listen to feedback like shwon in this video, here's a bit of trivia. When the company was first formed, the only person in the entire office of Mihoyo going through the feedback on their games was Da Wei at the time.
yeah, I remember that, it was back at houkai gakuen times, when mihoyo was like literally 3 anime fans in a dorm. I wish mihoyo would at least still let more humans do customer support, because right now it is heavily AI-driven and you will get AI-generated answers unless it is an issue the AI determines to need an actual human. If it's not an issue that can be easily categorized or the pre-determined support routes aren't working, but the AI still doesn't want to assign it to a human, you will just keep getting in loops because the AI can't think out of the box: ("A is not working" - "Try B" - B isn't working either." - "Try A" - "I already told you A is not working, that's why I contacted you in the first place" - "Try B" ect). I also received nonsensical answers many times, like me asking something about star rail widgets and the AI telling me about genshin servers. Also the content creator email is just dead and doesnt read or responds ever.
As a Latina I cannot express my excitement over the past few years as I waited for Natlan’s release!! And when I realized how gifted Mihoyo is with creating OSTs I knew I’d fall in love with Natlan’s music. Now it’s finally here, and listening to this beautiful fusion of african/latino/indigenous culture moved me to tears. I’m so excited to explore this new patch with everything it has to offer 💞
The music is great, mihoyo youre doing such a good job again, iam proud to be part of this comunity, to witness your work and efforts. Getting gozebumps everytime and beeing excited for such beauty and love beeing put in this game, makes me happy, Go on team, show us more❤
Omg i didn’t expect that either! He didn’t mention it anywhere and he has met Uncle Dawei at Shanghai a while ago so I am so excited to see those two interacted again
THIS UPDATE IS AMAZING! - New region - Many new characters - Free 4 star: Kachina! - We can now mark specialties in the map - Generous rewards - The wishing effect - Free 5 star character
Thank you for your hard work, I know it's never been easy, but I'll always look forward to more years of improvement and evolution. Please take care of yourselves
I LOOOOVE the way Hoyo implement national music, instruments and musicians into the music of Genshin. That’s just way too amazing. Music of Natlan again beats up all my expectations! I’m soooo looking forward to hearing some Russian folk music when Snezhnaya comes out. Like national Kuban music, maybe even Kuban kozak choir, their performance is just amazing. So excited!
As a fan of musical pieces, I was waiting with bated breath for a sample of Natlan's music. You did NOT disappoint! I was in tears from the music, it was so uplifting and majestic...I can't wait for more, and I so can't wait for Natlan next week!!!
This was awesome. The interactions between the devs and the English VAs were so great and fun. I wish I wasn't going through a gaming burnout right now, having more than half of Fontaine neglected and other unplayed games sitting in my library too. Hopefully I'll soon get back into this hobby and pick up where I've left it. Especially with so much new content and improvements in Genshin.
I love hearing about their experiences with voicing their characters, how emotional they can feel about some parts of their backstory or how much they can sometimes relate to them. Never fails to warm my heart.
I'm so happy that i was made i decision to install this game 4 years ago and being a part of Genshin Impact. This game is not just a game to me, it is an art, it is a life lessons, it is a masterpiece. so many stories of genshin's characters that related to me. and the songs are spectacular! i've been played a lot of games, and genshin impact is one of.... no, its my FAVORITE so far. thankyou somuch
Is no one gonna talk about the huge artifact changes? We can finally choose the main and sub attributes, i've been waiting for this since 1.0, i can't believe it's finally here
is she the pyro archon though? i haven't seen almost anything (cuz i don't really appreciate spoilers, i'd rather play through the content), but she has some sovereign dragon vibes.
I’m actually so happy with Genshin rn 😭 I know they haven’t been nice to their players in the past but this was so nice of them :) They treated us so well my jaw dropped
Genshin still lacks in their skintone diversity. Especially comparing those that were in the orchestra and those that are playable in game. In comparison to other chinese/non-chinese gamesz
i'll be honest, as banger as hoyo's music always is, i usually struggle to have the attention span to sit through the concert sections, but this time i was simply captured. there's some gorgeous traditional singing and instruments being used here that i suddenly wish i knew more about, i don't really recognize any of them. based on the comments, it sounds like several different cultures are being represented here-- i'd love to see a full breakdown of them, and they're all blended together beautifully here. aside from the music, i am SO looking forward to this update-- you really do have something for everyone, from brand-new players to returning friends to long-time veterans like myself. i'm intrigued by natlan's story, i wasn't necessarily planning on saving for mavuika until she said "people like us let OUR BLADES DO THE TALKING!", you're really not beating the pokemon allegations (and that's a good thing), i'm so glad we get a char with the "shows local specialties on the minimap" for FREE this time around, kinich's abilities look SO fun for exploration, CAPYBABBY, definitely just a ploy to get me to stay on top of my story quests, i'm not gonna list out aaaaall the QoL features but literally every single one of them got me more hype than the last, ESPECIALLY THE ARTIFACTS, and finally not only getting a standard 5* selection but the promise of it EVERY YEAR???? finally, one last note: HOYO IF YOU'RE SEEING THIS PLEASE I NEED THE SAURIAN SHIRTS AND HOODED BLANKETS AS REAL MERCH, IF YOU DON'T MAKE MERCH YOU ARE THROWING SO FREAKING HARD. pls and ty

This is by far the best dev interaction, ever. Less scripted, more players issue discussion, and the whole discussion is just heartwarming somehow. Also, the QoL changes are MASSIVE
First of all, let me thank Wuthering Waves for kicking Hoyo, especially Genshin devs to their wake. 😂
Genshin finally addresses a lot of problems. Overall i call this a small w for genshin.
@@SetiKtmaybe but wuwa couldn’t come close when genshin devs were ignorant and now it’s pretty much to destroy wuwa completely 🤷♂️

So you haven’t realized your looking at Ringling Brothers circus.
@@Altair-161 Nah, shut, don't create WuWa Vs Genshin war under my comment. I love both game and we really need to learn on appreciating both game as they push each other to create better content.
The fact that this is the longest livestream for Genshin is crazy! They added a lot of good improvements, I am really excited for Nathan and the future of Genshin.
Nobody talk about Natlan's music ??? That is FACTASTIC!! Close your eyes and blow your mind to their rythm, you can see Natlan scenery in advance!
EVERYONE is talking about Natlan's music, tf you mean? lol Also, AGREED! Music in Genshin is always peak! Natlan is so hype!
Hoyo is just a music company in diguise lmaoo
I'm not gonna close my eyes 'cause the lyric is fire
genuinely majestic fr
@nganthanh812 I completely agree with you, the music is really beautiful.
As a Zimbabwean, its soo wholesome to see the mbira being played amongst other legendary and beautiful musical instruments. Its been a while but I tip my hat to you Hoyoverse, from the music, attention to detail and quality, you've managed to inspire me again.🙏🏾
this is so cute

As an East African, THE ORCHESTRA AND THE LYRICS WERE EPIC
In English and Swahili!
Im noticed that swahili language also influenced by arabic and sanskrit by the words "alfajri" and "dunia" am i right?
@@AxelMorrison-fl1wp arabic yep.
@@AxelMorrison-fl1wpmy mother said back in the day when the two sides met the language was pretty much created simply from speaking to each other over the years. hence why they overlap.
I thought they hired “Akiko Shikata” for the ost because this is honestly her style of music
@@LabertaSimul OMG I thought the same lol. I miss her sm😭
Tbh, I never expected swahili in the natlan music. Pleasant surprise.
As a kenyan and a swahili speaker, I've never been more proud of this one. I love hearing exotic instruments incorporated into an orchestra similar to sumeru. That is what made sumeru music so good and that is probably going to happen in natlan as well. Its a fresh taste on music that our ears aren't used to and that's what makes it good
Hey, I didn't understand how to pull the free five stars characters
@@y33 you just choose it, u dont have to pull
I personally love it too, it amazes me the understanding of music someone has to have to be able to include such a huge variety of instruments that are not so known to people and lyrics as well! I guess it's a team effort but wow it's so unbelievably beautiful ❤ I feel it brings other cultures that aren't that widespread closer to more people and gosh, I can't get enough of that ❤
Yes! As a Tanzanian Swahili speaker I had to listen to the music again! I was so surprised that they used Swahili and love how the language is being shared across this region and amongst other players
The Choir and the Orchestral accompanyment is IMMACULATE.
As a former orchestral musician myself, I got goosebumps (especially the first piece) as I listened. I am also impressed at the attention to detail in that they brought a whole host of artists well versed in their cultural-based musical traditions. Astute in selection and culturally respectful in execution, I can say with full confidence that their performance was superb.
Bravo to all musicians and artists.
I could feel so much passion in their performances. I'm so excited to listen to all the other new music!
I definitely got emotional. Stunning music.

I liked the light-heartedness and the banter between Dawei and the devs, this felt like actually casual conversation apart from the obviously scripted parts where information was revealed
That was really cool
This is what I love the most about the Genshin special program livestreams. Dawei always looks like he is at home, from his manner to attire.
@@tsuwu5260 Yeah, I hope they keep doing it like this

The couple playing the panpipes and flutes at 1:38:07 are family friends I’ve known for years. Recently their only son has passed away at the age 14 and I can’t imagine the pain they must be feeling. I’m sure he would’ve been immensely proud that they could spread Peruvian culture through such a famous platform. I wish my condolences and nothing but the best for this family and although it’s been years since I’ve seen them, I hope their son can rest peacefully ❤🇵🇪
Oh that’s awful. My condolences to them. Hope they are doing well.
I love peruvian flute so much. To me it's almost as symbolic as an accordion in France or a shamisen in Japan.
@@legacymse7095 The shamisen is my favorite instrument! So glad to see it mentioned, it’s rare to find someone who knows anything about it :)

Thanks for kuro
it's not the Dev. it's Product team.
Dev team only do what Product team decided.
so, after all this time, where players complaining about Weapon banner is a scam or the guarantee pity is too high, it's because Product team didn't give the green light to the Dev team to do the changes
they still need to do something about the eternal waits for reruns tho
@Golet234-2 there's a lot of characters. And there are more to come. So I think it makes sense if reruns took a little longer
As a loyal Genshin lover for years I'm actually moved to tears by this livestream lol. The comments from our friends in Africa about the music, all the changes they've made for our enjoyment of the game, everything is beautiful. Love to Hoyo and love to the players
The OST makes me feel patriotic for a nation that doesn’t even exist
THIS IS SO REAL HELP
FR🔥🔥🔥🔥
It's just... so peak
I thought I was the only one 🤣
Man, I genuinely teared up and felt pumped asf, I fr thought of getting into a coliseum tournament or going to war, whichever happens first.
I totally did not expect Navia’s VA to sound EXACTLY like her character in real life
Her voice is so majestic
I mean what can I say
She has a very recognizable voice, like when i heard yunli in star rail i instantly knew this was her
She voices Yunli from HSR
Already the 6th region, time goes by so quickly, I still remember when this game first released. It's so great to see the game and its community coming this far, I'm so excited to see what the future holds for us, wish you all the best!
The 4 years journey with this game has been the most enjoyable time for me. I can't wait for Natlan! We are about to see what they've been cooking very soon!
I started during inazuma. So much has released since then its surreal. But I’m excited for the upcoming story quests!
@@AveiGI Cooking more designs like Emilie's 🤩😷
So true. Feels like just yesterday we were all getting hyped for Inazumas release
As a player from v1.0 its true time flies so fast. When I start playing this game there's only Mondstadt and Liyue. But now we got Inazuma, Sumeru, Fontaine and now Natlan is coming.
Hoyoverse, thank you so much for doing your best to give this many people what they want. You really don't get enough credit for being so willing to adapt, even though it does take a while for changes to be made. You are one of the only game companies that seriously reads, considers, and implements every single piece of community feedback, and that is such a difficult thing to pull off. Happy 4 years, and here's to many more.
This... this is what the game needed, not another event, not just minigame rewards, not another single wish, we needed a complete CELEBRATION, a reunion that shows why people play Genshin.
And now is every year, better late that never. This is what I was hoping for so long and I could not be more glad that it finally happen, we finally have a Anniversary to be excited for, rejoice everyone and have fun.
You too. This is a great year to be a genshin fan ♥️ first fontaine, now Natlan and this amazing update on the way.
er.... i mean - welcome to the version update stream, there's no events cuz new region. just so happens it coincided with anniv - which is A DIFFERENT CELEBRATION FROM LANTERN RITE, WHICH GAVE 10+3 rolls.
also what single wish lmao? little bro, they gave out 20 every anniv. are you mixing the nonsense spread around?
GLAD THERE ISN'T GONNA BE ANY ANNIVERSARY DRAMA ON TWITTER THIS TIME
@@SorarikoMotone they did give events, they just didn't explain them in detail like other livestreams I think
Yes!! It couldn't have come at a better time. I'm having surgery next month and will be out of work for 4 weeks so I'll be at home dealing with some pain, but I'm definitely gonna spend some of time playing Genshin and immersing myself in Natlan! It will definitely help me get through this hiccup!
I know people have been talking about how "genshin doesnt feel the same anymore" but this? This feels like genshin, this is the most excited ive been to explore a new place in a while, and honestlt despite people complaints about it not being "war ravaged" enough, i think both the scenery and the story teasers we got look fuckinv awesome, i think we could actually get some really cool lore here
One thing i would have liked them to explain is why Natlan has always been, since 1.0, the region we had least info about, we only knew of Natlan through bits and pieces of conversations with NPCs and Archons
ISTG they'll say that for every region. If Genshin changes up the aesthetic they'll complain that it doesn't feel like old Genshin. If Genshin stays the same, they'll complain that the game is stagnating. There's no winning against these haters
@@f4llenleavesdude thats burnout from playing the game dry patches do that, not aesthetics who doesnt want variety aesthetic?
Nah, man. Genshin treated its community like absolute garbage and forced them to be silent about it. They can't make us forget about the three major incidents they committed. People have to learn to stop defending big companies like these and look further into their mistakes. Also, the player base, for the most part, is awful. Which basically means that good criticism... can't be listened too.
I get the hate for people pointing out every little minor detail that triggers them like "not enough dark color skin characters" lol
@@NeroTheBoop Trust me, that was by design. Expect some big story twists to happen in Natlan.

Idk if the devs read the comments on the videos or not, but i just want to express ny sincere gratitude to the team at Hoyoverse who has worked on this game for 4 years. Genshin has gotten me through some dark seasons in my life. It has been my escape from many things and has inspired me in different ways through the stories and music. Thank you! A fan since launch! And a fan for life! I'm ready for the next adventure!
P.S. I'm having a major surgery next month and will be home for 4 weeks, so the new update couldn't have come at a better time. Best believe imma be exploring Natlan to the fullest!

Every time I tune in to the annual region livestream, I'm nearly brought to tears. The passion is literally bleeding from every possible place, from the set and devs' interactions, to the content of the update itself. Hoyo has created something truly special, and I'm glad to have been a part of the community for nearly its entire lifespan. And especially when we live in a industry where greed and money are king (albeit mostly applies to western game companies), Genshin Impact is a beautiful diamond in the rough, with developers and staff whose determination and care is for the most part unmatched. Additionally, seeing the English VAs is always a welcome treat, it's really nice and memorable that Hoyo makes sure to give them the spotlight, when they do as much work as anyone else in contributing to this amazing experience.
I will play Genshin Impact for years to come, never stop doing what you do best Hoyo, no matter what.
P.S. WOW I was thinking to myself they should make another world level for the really strong players so the overworld isn't a complete steamroll, it's gotten to the point where I only use 1 or 2 characters lol. Looking forward to it!
Nahida's VA has a huge vocal range seriously impressive
It's crazy to me that Natlan is already here. I felt like Fontaine came out yesterday; and it'll just be a year until Snezhnaya is released, and 2 years until we get a possible Abyss or Celestia arc. That basically means we might be at the end of Genshin's story in just a few years.
I literally agree.
I dont want it to end 😢

As a Kenyan, I'm moved to TEARS listening to the song and music. The song is heroic, commanding boldness in the face of death to defend the homeland, which is how we earned our independence and lost many freedom fighters. It is impressive to see Genshin Impact daring to delve into African spirit and culture, especially including Swahili music, lyrics and African instruments. Whoa! Genshin impact forever! 🎉❤👏👏👏
Such a few amount of games dare to go down that path. I genuinely love hearing about cultures that we otherwise never would experience where I live. It's heartwarming

This might actually be their best Livestream yet. For the reason they showed the devs behind everything just playing the game and chilling, sharing their experience. Say what y'all wanna state what y'all want but the amount of work, love and effort they slap into Genshin for the yearly journey... Is one to salute to.
For all the people playing Genshin for years now... Thank you for being in this journey, and i hope everyone gets to see the ending together. (And RIP all the people that didnt get to 🙏)

I understand everyone had to do so much in order to give us such incredible story and lore. Thank you to Hoyo-Mix, the music is also pleasant and fitting.

Thank you. Thank all of you who work on Genshin Impact, from the Voice actors who bring these characters to life, to the Artists who design the beautiful landscapes, and everyone else who works hard to make this game the absolute gem that it is. Genshin Impact has done so much for me, I'm able to immerse myself in the story and feel like I am actually in Teyvat, interacting and fighting alongside the characters. This game has helped me make new friends as well, and now we talk about it together all the time.
Congratulations on 4 years, and i wish you all the best of luck in the future! See you all in Natlan!

absolutely omg the music is always outstanding , the changes are so good, might actually have me wishing on the weapon banner again after i said i never would lmaooo
Same brother
IM SO EXCITED BC ITS MY FIRST TIME ENCOUNTERING A NEW NATION PREVIEW.
Me toooo
same!!!! (ﾉ´ヮ´)ﾉ*: ･ﾟ(ﾉ´ヮ´)ﾉ*: ･ﾟ
AHHHHH SAME
Newgen 😂
Nice their live streams are hella underrated also be sure to get the codes welcome!!
Listening to Dawei share about the difficulties and the road ahead of Ghenshin Impact, this is really touching. I hope Ghenshin will continue to grow stronger.
What we want: skipping button
What we get: skipping whole story after Liyue to Natlan😮
Finally. No excuses not to do events.
@arnowisp6244 can we get a replay button?
@@jerryl7050i think its in the game, not sure where tho, you cant view cutscenes, but you can listen to voicelines, say from the archon quest.
Skin button nah, just skip the game.
Bro Genshin is going too far with these benefits
Love hearing from the VAs! They are such a huge part of what makes the game so special. Each one is a star in my eyes. 🤩
I completely agree.
The pyro archon’s hair changing into an actual flame threw me off guard, genshin did feed us well with this one!
lol I actually called that her hair would become fire
@@danielsain7860no you didn’t
Going Super Saiyan God mode 🔥
The change looks kindas jarring imo, but i'll wait to see it in game to fully judge ig
She reminds me of yang xiao long
I can't believe we're about to enter Natlan, my life has completely changed since I started playing Genshin almost 4 years ago.
The Natlan Symphony performance will be amazing I just know it!
@@OhHoneyBeehave you must be a really miserable person, if something bad like this changed your life.
I hope you didn't give any money to devs who don't listen to players and try to disgust gamers with their very bad updates 🙏
@Bibo_Bop_UA dayummm let someone enjoy a game lmao
@@Bibo_Bop_UA It's your opinion

I was a bit confused on why i felt like i understood the lyrics of the songs that were played because it felt like yapping but after that i realised they sang in Swahili. Never expected such a language to appear in the game
Wow, I was a bit bummed out this was 2 hours and thought I wouldn't watch it, but it was actually very fun for a video that's just supposed to introduce a new patch. I've always respected the devs for sharing the news themselves in a video instead of just patch notes and I love how they changed the heavily scripted variant with a more free and lighthearted appraoch here. The version trailer was awesome, I literally screamed when I saw Mavuika fight Il Capitano, I've been waiting for those two for very long. Also the fact that we're already getting an abyss invasion and we're not even in Kheanri'ah's arc yet is very interesting, I'd been wanting to see the abyss in action. Also the concept of the 6 tribes is pretty cool as well and I'm really excited to explore those as well. And of course the new characters and their traversal mechanics are really something, i've been saving up since the first teaser to get them. But even though I'm a lore fanatic and an oldschool player who enjoys character building and endgame dps checks, I'm most excited about the artifact crafting. I've been waiting and whining for this FOR YEARS, everywhere where there's been a mention of it. And after I've spent months trying to farm my Arlecchino and Clorinde's artifacts and getting, i kid you not a single good piece for what 3-4 months now, I can finally rest easy. And although I intended to skip over the music part because the video really is too long, I'm glad I didn't. Genshin's music team is insane and this is just on another level. I rarely go to concerts but if the next genshin concert is somewhere reasonably near, I'd go without a doubt. Fontaine's music was already on another level but the Natlan one is pure kino.
How does this comment not have more likes and love.
we need more live concerts of genshin all around the world🔥
This is the longest and by far of the BEST Special Programs ever in Genshin history!!! I'm just so happy they added so many new QoL updates, the animations are complete fire, the singing and traditional instruments are impeccable. We're literally at the 6th nation, we've come this far. Words can't explain how emotional I am. Thank you for giving me such memorable times, Genshin Impact ❤
The Music performances gave me goosebumps. The lyrics are so amazing. I'm so excited for the new region. Excited to see the fight between Mauvika and Capitano. Good Luck to everyone's pulls.
Good luck to you too! ✨💫
For those of you that think that Da Wei would never sit down and listen to feedback like shwon in this video, here's a bit of trivia.
When the company was first formed, the only person in the entire office of Mihoyo going through the feedback on their games was Da Wei at the time.
Yes. Feedback from the Chinese players. No one else though...
@@TheReal_Ana its still laudable. Most CEO's woudln't even do that much. The fact that this isn't just for show should mean something
@@TheReal_Ana How DARE this Chinese game studio prioritize the wants and needs of their Chinese community!? The outrage!
Yea because that was his job
yeah, I remember that, it was back at houkai gakuen times, when mihoyo was like literally 3 anime fans in a dorm.
I wish mihoyo would at least still let more humans do customer support, because right now it is heavily AI-driven and you will get AI-generated answers unless it is an issue the AI determines to need an actual human. If it's not an issue that can be easily categorized or the pre-determined support routes aren't working, but the AI still doesn't want to assign it to a human, you will just keep getting in loops because the AI can't think out of the box: ("A is not working" - "Try B" - B isn't working either." - "Try A" - "I already told you A is not working, that's why I contacted you in the first place" - "Try B" ect). I also received nonsensical answers many times, like me asking something about star rail widgets and the AI telling me about genshin servers. Also the content creator email is just dead and doesnt read or responds ever.
i’m so glad the same voice actor of gundham tanaka is captiano. great choice hyv!
oh really! that's a great choice, i didn't even notice
You can call me, CAPITANO.
Remember it well, for IT is the name that will one day RULEE Natlan!!
Chris Tergliafera, everyone 👏👏👏👏👏👏
As a Latina I cannot express my excitement over the past few years as I waited for Natlan’s release!! And when I realized how gifted Mihoyo is with creating OSTs I knew I’d fall in love with Natlan’s music. Now it’s finally here, and listening to this beautiful fusion of african/latino/indigenous culture moved me to tears. I’m so excited to explore this new patch with everything it has to offer 💞
The music is great, mihoyo youre doing such a good job again, iam proud to be part of this comunity, to witness your work and efforts. Getting gozebumps everytime and beeing excited for such beauty and love beeing put in this game, makes me happy, Go on team, show us more❤
tuonto being in the live was something i was NOT expecting
I also wasn't expecting it to be in chinese and without the chibis and voice actors🥹
@@karolinacsizmadia6293 they've done developer livestreams for the major updates the past 3 years lol

Standard one of course
Thank you for your hard work, I know it's never been easy, but I'll always look forward to more years of improvement and evolution. Please take care of yourselves
Livestream chat was complaining about melanin
They quickly turned around once they mentioned primogems, the duality of man
Those SJW's that complained, make like 5 % of the playerbase, probably even less.
Yeah, we know what are their priorities
@@wateo1782 DEFINITELY LESS, + the fact that if the whales don't complain the devs wont care
they litterally said "shh lil bro heres some primos"
Honestly sad 💀
Time flies so fast, it was just yesterday we were excited about Fontaine's release and now that excitement is for Natlan
It's been one heck of a journey man.

I LOOOOVE the way Hoyo implement national music, instruments and musicians into the music of Genshin. That’s just way too amazing. Music of Natlan again beats up all my expectations!
I’m soooo looking forward to hearing some Russian folk music when Snezhnaya comes out. Like national Kuban music, maybe even Kuban kozak choir, their performance is just amazing.
So excited!
i've been looking forward to snezhnaya music ever since i started playing the game :3
Kozaks are ukrainian culture tho-
As a fan of musical pieces, I was waiting with bated breath for a sample of Natlan's music. You did NOT disappoint! I was in tears from the music, it was so uplifting and majestic...I can't wait for more, and I so can't wait for Natlan next week!!!
This was awesome. The interactions between the devs and the English VAs were so great and fun. I wish I wasn't going through a gaming burnout right now, having more than half of Fontaine neglected and other unplayed games sitting in my library too. Hopefully I'll soon get back into this hobby and pick up where I've left it. Especially with so much new content and improvements in Genshin.
Free 5 star. THE MEME IS OFFICIALLY OVER GUYS!!!!
war is over
@@dusker_safter many years of bloody Genshin rewards wars, the developers cooked and made an agreement to stop the war🙏🏻
Just as I quit genshin… 😭
Who needs those standard homeless men
GENSHIN FINALLY COULD
The voice actors are absolutely the best part of this game. Khoi and Zach are so unhinged together. There is literally nothing better than the VA’s
Khoi needs to be fired. Especially for how racist he is.
I love hearing about their experiences with voicing their characters, how emotional they can feel about some parts of their backstory or how much they can sometimes relate to them. Never fails to warm my heart.
I love their interactions!!! I think they mentioned having been in the same voice actor class when they were 14 in like a wind crase stream too!
I'm so happy that i was made i decision to install this game 4 years ago and being a part of Genshin Impact. This game is not just a game to me, it is an art, it is a life lessons, it is a masterpiece. so many stories of genshin's characters that related to me. and the songs are spectacular! i've been played a lot of games, and genshin impact is one of.... no, its my FAVORITE so far. thankyou somuch
1:35:30 natlan live symphony performance
Is no one gonna talk about the huge artifact changes? We can finally choose the main and sub attributes, i've been waiting for this since 1.0, i can't believe it's finally here
CAPITANO VS THE PYRO ARCHON!? MY DREAM COME TRUE
is she the pyro archon though? i haven't seen almost anything (cuz i don't really appreciate spoilers, i'd rather play through the content), but she has some sovereign dragon vibes.
@@GraveUypoShes the dragon, and bennet is the archon. peak fiction inbound
Absolute cinema
@@GraveUypo Bro watch the stream, they clearly say "pyro archon" in caption even if you dont understand language 🤦♂️
Her hair looked so cool. She went super saiyan.
almost 4 years of genshin is insane. i remember being a new player in 2021 and not even knowing what artifacts were
I’m actually so happy with Genshin rn 😭 I know they haven’t been nice to their players in the past but this was so nice of them :) They treated us so well my jaw dropped
Today is the day we can officially retire the "Genshin could never" meme. Because Genshin could and Genshin did!
Because wuwa
Genshin still lacks in their skintone diversity. Especially comparing those that were in the orchestra and those that are playable in game. In comparison to other chinese/non-chinese gamesz
@@OgZz73stop lying to urself lil bro
Yoooo, a free standard 5* every year and there will be more 5* in the list on top? LET'S GOOOOOOO
they r getting more generous
They must be terrified of Wuthering Waves, i can’t believe they’re finally listening
@@pomruu. or they wanted to avoid the previous years -unhinged vitriolic outrage- criticisms.
i'll be honest, as banger as hoyo's music always is, i usually struggle to have the attention span to sit through the concert sections, but this time i was simply captured. there's some gorgeous traditional singing and instruments being used here that i suddenly wish i knew more about, i don't really recognize any of them. based on the comments, it sounds like several different cultures are being represented here-- i'd love to see a full breakdown of them, and they're all blended together beautifully here.
aside from the music, i am SO looking forward to this update-- you really do have something for everyone, from brand-new players to returning friends to long-time veterans like myself. i'm intrigued by natlan's story, i wasn't necessarily planning on saving for mavuika until she said "people like us let OUR BLADES DO THE TALKING!", you're really not beating the pokemon allegations (and that's a good thing), i'm so glad we get a char with the "shows local specialties on the minimap" for FREE this time around, kinich's abilities look SO fun for exploration, CAPYBABBY, definitely just a ploy to get me to stay on top of my story quests, i'm not gonna list out aaaaall the QoL features but literally every single one of them got me more hype than the last, ESPECIALLY THE ARTIFACTS, and finally not only getting a standard 5* selection but the promise of it EVERY YEAR????
finally, one last note: HOYO IF YOU'RE SEEING THIS PLEASE I NEED THE SAURIAN SHIRTS AND HOODED BLANKETS AS REAL MERCH, IF YOU DON'T MAKE MERCH YOU ARE THROWING SO FREAKING HARD. pls and ty
Wow. We've come so far from just waking up in Mondstadt
I love how they changed their path from struggling to achieve to simple and fun to achieve.
