      It is because of rare uploads and videos so long they discourage retention. Those things are not good for getting big. This kind of content takes a lot to get big with, and it is going to be a while before a channel that has been posting for only 9 months and has only 11 videos becomes very large. It is, unfortunately, how UA-cam runs.

    I watched til the end and just realized that this is a 1-year+ old video. I'm impressed with all the efforts and details thrown into this one single recap video, and also the fact that how deep the lore runs in Genshin to the point that 3 hrs is not enough to cover everything the game has to offer (not to mention that it's still expanding and not gonna stop anytime soon). Also made me realized how much time could have been saved if there was a skip button all along lol. Thanks for the video, it really reminds me of what made me loved Genshin so much ever since the release. Looking forward to future volumes as well!

The first day i logged in, the awe at seeing mondstadt for the first time, the glittering eyes i had for all the cool characters *cough*kaeyaandxiao*cough*, and the emotional responses i had to certain scenes. The awe at the lantern right festival, the sadness of venti's story, the irritation at scaramouche wanting to kill us on sight.

    I started playing genshin like a month ago, and at first I played cuz the lore is cool but then I focused too much on leveling up my characters which led me to holding off the archon quest cuz i wanted to get stronger. But now that im on the dainsleif, i am now again intrigued of the lore. It's just so cool and im like experiencing a whole movie. I appreciate this video so much.

      Same, a lot of it was confusing when the Traveler greeted people I'd never seen before like they knew each other (with the biggest shock coming from the fact the Traveler knew about Kaenriah while I had never heard of the place). They really should keep all the story important quests in (like the one where Scaramouche first showed up), even if those were for specific events.

But when I downloaded the game again (just in AR 19 for now) I really enjoyed it but at the same time since I focus on my academics I play the game sometimes. But yepp I half regret it since I also missed some important events *sigh

    Theres one detail about the lore you forgot about. The unknown god casted him/her in everlasting slumber of only nightmares.

I was really into it, it was my safe place and it trully means a lot to me. Unfortunately, because of health problems (which comes with bad memory and forgetting almost everything) i forgot almost everything. Now, after i was able to buy new computer, the first thing i did was to download genshin again. I stopped when i finished dendro chapter. But i didnt want to play straight away when i dont remember things. So, thank you so much for your videos, it helps me a lot and i absolutelly appreacite that you also sum up the events, as i started the game right after liyue release. Love your work, keep up!

    First off, this is amazing and so well put together! Thank you so much for putting in all the effort in creating this timeline/history video! Second, just a note which has likely already been said, but Albedo is not biologically related to Klee, Alice, or the "race of longevity" (which many have presumed to be an elf-like species due to Klee's ears). He is (spoilers for his backstory) an alchemical experiement created by "Gold"/Rhinedottir, a woman from Khaenri'ah who also created the Rifthounds in Inazuma. This is why he feels a connection to Durin, because they are both creations of Rhinedottir and could essentially be considered siblings. Alice and Rhinedottir are friends and after spending his youth with his master, Albedo was given a note which told him to go find Alice and join the Knights of Favonious. Alice told Albedo to call her "mother" but he doesn't, rather refering to her as "Aunt Alice" as we saw. Despite this, he sees and treats Klee as his younger sister, often looking after her. So yeah! Not biological siblings or cousins, but they do have a family-type relationship!

    • @StrayMaverick
      @StrayMaverick  2 роки тому +13

      Great comment! I made sure to word it in a vague enough way where this revelation could still be surprising in Part 2, as, like you said, Albedo uses the word "aunt." So I just say that he's "also within that family tree" without saying that he's blood related to them.

    The only part of the event order that is different from how I imagined is: the Unreconciled Stars event could be before the Windblume Festival (v1.4) and this festival is after the Lantern Rite(v1.3). But I guess since they're pretty independent events so this works too.
