Actually soft magic systems are hard magic systems that we dont know the rules to and never will

4:59 Pokémon had its own approach with it that avoided the pitfalls too golden owl made a good video on it

Thanks for this, Jorian! I'm gonna incorporate this to my writings.

It’s not about how many times it’s done it’s about how it’s different and each portrayal is relatively unique

Im surprised you aren’t a big TH-camr, your videos are really good

big step up from the last video. 16:08 mans got cooked too hard last time💀

i think like the only ppl in genshin that use magic are neuvillette, kokomi, yanfei, ningguang, lisa, yelan, all adeptis, xiao and all archons (they are gods surely they have access to magic)

My God is similar in way

Just recently I created my own Elemental Power System and I feel very proud of it. I wanted it to be simple to understand, but incredibly complex. (Here's a brief summary) There's a total of 9 Elements; 7 Natural Elements and 2 Force Elements. It has many of the same Elements as any other traditional Elemental System, but that's where the similarities stop. Each Element goes beyond than what you normally think they do. Water can affect Time itself, Ice can manipulate Shadows, and Fire can control Life. There are limits and rules I implemented such as how many Elements one person can wield, how much Mana is being drained per use, etc. This is so much more than just your typical Elemental System that I can't comprehend just how complicated this system I made, yet it's all simple to understand. I wanted this system to be perfect for my world building so everyday I work on it, fixing mistakes and adding rules.

I wish genshin wasn't racist AF ☹️

I love all your videos, but the studio ghibli ones are my favourite (probably cause Miyazaki’s work is so fascinating) and your voice is very calming

😂😂 the wolf ripping at his head. Is just absurdly graphic.

I don't like your definition of hard and soft magic systems. A better definition is: Hard Magic System has rules, regardless whether the reader knows about it or not. Soft Magic System doesn't have any rules, it's freeform. An example of hard magic system is HunterxHunter. And an example of soft magic system are Studio Ghibli movies.

I subscribed to you 2 years ago when another video about Kiki came up. You are cool, i love your channel.I hope you will get more subscribers🤘

Was that mipha’s theme playing near the end there? 😢 I came here for the analysis but couldn’t help but hear

I loved this video! And it was just what I needed to hear. It's so easy to get wrapped up in the magic system or physical conflicts that you forget why you even wanted to tell your story! So many movies, video games and shows forget this! But when they get it right they end up making a master piece. Thank you for bringing this to light! 😊

I'm here for the Wren Jones voice-overs

Wren’s voice is so soothing. I’ll definitely be checking out her book!

This is the vibe

cara, eu vi o video todo e nao esperava q no final o cara era brasileiro

AI generated imagery, especially Midjourney, is such a hard turn off for your content. Please reconsider using it in the future.

I too am in love with Howl, but, I feel like Turnip Head is such an underrated character. The fact that he, a young handsome prince, fell in love with Sophie despite her old appearance, means that he loved her for her great personality- her heart. He was also always ready to help her no matter what. And that makes him even more beautiful. 🤍✨

I think The Underland Chronicles by Suzanne Collins are a great example of an Isekai/Portal Fantasy done right. Also has a very sweet romance.

I agree that the core of a story, its core purpose is important, but I think the execution does more than just grab our attention. The animation, soundtrack, voice acting elevate it beyond a simple argument or lesson, they make the core message feel real. When you see it portrayed so vividly, you can begin to actually believe in it.

Thanks!

Are you a fan of *_Mary & the Witches Flower_* ???

I love these studio ghibli videos with your analysis

It was an interesting watch. And an interesting review. Sometimes movies just hit differently at certain times in our lives. The Iron Giant was the movie I really liked as a kid but didn't really remember that much. Then when I turned 18 or 19 it became very relevant to me when I was in college. It let me know I had a choice and I could be or do whatever I set my mind to, but then something like monsters University says it's okay if you're not cut out for something. There's always opportunities that can interest you that would be up your alley. Kiki's delivery services isn't normally on my radar but I do think of spirited Away and Howl's moving Castle quite a bit.

I once heard (from you I guess) that to write an interesting story you need to be an interesting person first. Just to present your worldview into your work. Thanks for another great vid!

Just read, "Aristotle and Dante discover the secrets of the universe." It was okay. But, it wasn't impactful. It was just a coming of age story. To be clear, it wasn't bad, but just simple. It didn't have character growth. Time passed, and the main character and the rest of the cast changed. But, they didn't grow. The author tried to show growth, but I don't know. It just didn't resonate. The main character and his best friend are gay. They figure this out and our together by the end. But, it seemed forced or pointless. Like the author made them gay just because. So, I get what you mean. You can have all the right elements to a great story, but unless you feel the change and growth is earned. It's just words on a page. Safe travels.

Hey folks, I'm in the middle of a strange and poorly timed situation 🥲 yesterday I was supposed to catch a flight at 21h. It was first delayed, then stalled - I even got to the point of being inside the plane - but then it was ultimately cancelled. Today I wake up to a message saying the flight was rescheduled... exactly to my premiere's time 🥲🥲🥲 what terrible sins must I have committed for such poor timing to curse me? Anyway - I am sorry, I can't be there this afternoon. If everything goes ok, I will be up in the air.

✨💖✨

Thank you for your insights👍

Here's my cultured, over detailed comment as an offering to the snooty frenchman and his pet octopus. I find it interesting that in Genshin, those who are passionate and ambitious make often mundane jobs and positions come alive as a result of their abilities and standing in the world. While in Avatar, society had to grow up around these individuals and even took advantage of their gifts, like the delivery system in Omashu, or the water elevators and ice tunnels in the North Water Tribe. The architecture takes advantage of magic being widely available and thus becomes tied to it. While in Genshin, you can find lawyers, inventors, warriors, businessmen, and just about any kind of person from any walk of life that could exist in our world, but with gifts that allow them to be better at it and even use the object of their passion as a source of power. At the end of the day, both are just different options for world building that use similar tropes as short hands that readers / players can latch onto easily. And there is plenty to learn from both if you're looking to do something like that yourself.
