A brief explanation. Each character has the power of one of the 7 elements: cryo (ice), pyro (fire), hydro (water), dendro (plants), electro (electricity), geo (stone/earth), anemo (wind). The basis of the combat system in the game is that each element has a unique interaction with each other, forming reactions with unique effects. There are 4 characters in your squad, between which you can switch at any time and combine abilities with different types of elements.
Genshin doesn't have your typical RPG classes, what defines a character is their kit, not their occupation or job The game has soldiers, warriors, adventurers, politicians, lawyers, gang members, prison guards, scholars, musicians, etc.
Xiao isn't really cold Hearted per se. When he first came out, they made him much more edgy than he is supposed to be, but only in English. He is a Yaksha, they restore order by slaying demons, and this in turn slowly drives them mad. He is the only living one remaining.
Cold hearted =/= stoic. Some characters can appear charismatic, even goddamn hilarious, but their hearts are stone cold, those types of characters I actually adore. Xiao isn't of the sort, he's the polar opposite. He and Diluc are the Batman characters of Genshin XD
@@pal1d1nl1ght The closest character I can think of to be Xiao's opposite is Enjou from Enkonomiya, he is of the type that I described above. Wish he were playable.
23:16 possibly spoiler idk Genshin hasn’t had any Halloween related events , this trailer has that spooky vibe because Hu Tao is the owner of a funeral parlor constantly on the rant of death and dealing with paranormal experiences. Btw Qiqi is a zombie.
well we had the test of courage in Inazuma once but it was only because the theme was Yokai Since in China talking about the topic of death is kinda forbidden or discouraged
In case you haven't figured it out yet, a person gets a "Vision" when they unlock elemental powers. It's like a piece of jewerly that has the symbol of your element on it. How to get a Vision is stil up to debate, but it seems that your ambitions have to be very big, and then the gods answer your ambitions by rewarding you with elemental powers, by giving you a Vision.
So I guess our protagonist's ambition to find their sibling is not yet strong enough even after more then 500 years. Either that or the gods or celestia doesn't approve of their ambition so they ain't giving them a vision. Oooor they saw that they can resonate with literally every element so they thought it unnecessary to give them a vision.... Where are Lumine & Aether from anyway ? Sooo many questions, not enough answers. All we know is they're from "Beyond The Stars'' no ?
If you like the genshin music so much, there`s a recent live concert where they played the best ones, filmes in shangai. You should definetely check it out!!
There are seven elements, which people have described in other comments. But each character is also separated by a weapon type, of which there are 5: Bow, Sword, Claymore (mostly Greatswords), Polearm (Spears and Staffs), and Catalyst. Catalyst users are a bit confusing, they are usually portrayed as 'mages' who use a non traditional weapon (book, orb, bell, fan, etc.) to 'cast', or in case of Wriothesley and Heizou, just punch people. The game doesn't have classes, and each character's role in their team depends entirely on their personal kit
1:13:04 Nahida is actually one of the strongest characters in this game.. get her on your party, she can make any team’s better and stronger.. she’s actually OP both lore and in the gameplay.. because she’s actually one of Archon, the God of Wisdom and Lord of Dendro element
To add on to what others have mentioned about the regions, there's also certain "enemy factions" (not spoilers): - Fatui - Usually arrogant 'Diplomats' from a certain country who keep shoving their weight around in other countries. The poor guys you mention that keep getting beat up in trailers, like Wanderer's one. 🤣 - Treasure Hoarders - A very large international group of low-level thieves/bandits/graverobbers/do-no-gooders. The enemy in Yelan and Baizhu trailer. - Ronin - Homeless wandering katana wielding warriors only in Inazuma. The enemy in Yoimiya and Yae Miko trailer. - Eremites - Mercenaries who mostly live in the desert, exclusive to Sumeru. The enemy in Cyno and Dehya trailer - Abyss - A faction that seems to be plotting something from the shadows. The hollow knight-looking enemy in Shenhe's trailer
45:52 In the game visions are these objects some characters have that allow them to control and use elemental energy. Almost all playable characters have visions, one can count in one hand how many don't have visions or don't require them to use elemental energy
6:47 yes, there is one character whose main source of power is music: Xinyan. Yun Jin and Nilou use dance or performative moves to fight. The others are musicians or artists who know how to fight.
Fun fact: every character is part of one of the 7 nations, which are all based on real life places! The first "arc" is Mondstadt, which is mainly based on Germany The second one of Liyue, which is based on China The third one is Inazuma, which is based on Japan The fourth one is Sumeru, which is based on the middle east and the places around it (mainly Egypt, persia with a sprinkle of arabic influences and more) The fift one (which we're at right now in the game) is Fontaine, which is mainly based on France with some inspiration from England The sixt one (not yet in game) is Natlan, which will very likley be based on Meso-america (aztec and maya cultures) with some africain inspiration too and the seventh one is Snezhnaya (also not in game), which is Based on Russia and slavic cultures There may be one more but you'll have to play the game to see ;) If you want to see more about it, I dunno if you checked it out yet, but you can look up "Teyvat chapter storyline: travail" which will showcase one character out of the 7 regions and explain a little of each act and it's stories! :D anyways, awesome video! :D
Oh wow that's actually dope had no clue they were based on real places! other than the egypt one lol. Also i believe I reacted to the Teyvat chapter storyline: travail in my first genshin video. I might rewatch it tho since i understand everything more now. Also Thank You!!!
@@DruzersBase yeah! There’s a lot of very interesting lore which tie to real life myths and legends! And yeah, I checked and you did! :D now you have the context! :)
I love that you enjoy the music so much! Genshin has some of my favorite video game music ever, I really look forward to your reactions to the music if you do them!
45:52 basically, Visions are what gives elemental powers to their owner. As for why there was a Vision hunt decree in Inazuma... well you'll have to play the game to understand, no spoilers
45:20 Visions are quite literally what makes a character playable💀 It’s a blessing from the gods that gives them elemental powers that coordinate which element that god rules as.
41:58 So with the release of Fontaine, diving is now a thing and no you don’t need a specific person to do it for you. Some characters give you a buff that improve your swimming speed or stamina, but that’s not preventing you to dive underwater and start killing things. On land combat was really the only thing before Fontaine but underwater, there are mechanics that help you fight that aren’t from the character itself. Team comps exist and to clear game content like the Abyss, you need 2 good team comps that have characters that synergies well together. As I said there are underwater mechanic which basically replace all your skills so you can’t use that character skill but the one underwater
1:19:25 She's over 100 years old in technical term, this is because she got trapped in a room that basically had time stopped. She only got out after unlocking a puzzle that opened the door only to found out that her entire life, friends and relative was gone. She only claims to be old to gain respect from people.
Yooo!!! It's finally here!! Demos let's gooooo!!! Each of their character music is soooo gooood! 3:00 mad respect you remember Gouba's god story! That event cutscene and story was a limited time event so newer players wont see it unless they search, so I'm glad you'll remember him! 6:42 There's characters who are known to be singers, artists, and performers as their occupation, and yes some of their skills revolve around showing that off. Venti here is a bard. While his skills dont really show him playing music, he has an idle animation where he brings out his lyre and plays some notes! 22:02 You're right at the part where he's not a bad guy. He's just dealing with the nastier things that others normally wouldnt. In a sense he's a protector, but eons (hundreds to thousands of years) of slaughter has made him accumulate karmic debt (think evil energy just piling in your body with each thing you kill) so he has an inner struggle to keep his sanity or else he'll give in to darkness. 34:15 Unfortunately no. Though I get why you'd think that way! Yoimiya is from Inazuma, the Japanese inspired nation in the game. Lantern Rite is a Liyue celebration, which is the China inspired nation. They dropped Yoimiya right when Inazuma was first released! 39:54 Characters come and go as Event gacha! They usually have around 3 or 4 weeks of staying as the current gacha before another character gets a featured rate-up. Raiden just got her rerun last month unfortunately, so it might take a while for her to come back, but that just means you can save up! 45:53 A Vision is basically a physical manifestation of a person's elemental powers! It's randomly given to someone who's "ambitions reach the heavens" to put it in the game's terms. It's like a trinket composed of a gem (based on the color of their element, red for fire/pyro, torquise for ice/cryo, etc..) and a casing (determined by the person's nation). In Itto's case, his Vision is the trinket you see at 44:22, just bellow his neck. His is a Geo (earth) vision, that's why it's yellow, and the casing is an Inazuma case. Klee's vision is on her bag at 8:40 , and it's a Pyro gem with the Mondstadt (her nation) case! Because it has a physical form, it can be taken away apparently. 1:46:58 It may not seem like she's doing much damage here in the trailer, but as of now, she's one of the most OP supports and buffers in game! Her demo just generally shows her love for flair! Overall, really glad that you pay attention to the story in between the lines, heck even making references to the previous teasers and trailers! That's kudos to you! I look forward to seeing you start the journey on March!
Yup im starting to remember things LOL! So what im seeing is there powers kind of play off of there careeer choice? Also im very excited to start this journey in march!!!!!!!
The game only has 5 weapon types, but they can be unique based on their appearance and stats: Swords, Claymores, Polearms, Bows, and Catalysts Swords are tour typical broadsword appearance at first, but there are craftables particularly in Inazuma that resemble katanas. Heck you can even use a pipe and a closed umbrella as a sword hahaha. Claymores are basically big-ass sword types. They can be greatswords, clubs, a big fucking tuna, and more recently with Navia, a giant axe. Polearms are typically spears. There hasn't been ones with extremely unique appearance imo, but I'm personally waiting for one that will look like a scythe. Bows of course are bows. You've seen Venti with the Skyward Harp and there was even another fish related bow 😂 And lastly, Catalysts. These are magic objects the character carries with them and their appearance can be your typical magic books, magic relics, or more recently with Wriothesley, a literal drone.
Great video! Glad you enjoyed the demo music, I love them so much. You did manage to skip Gorou's demo though, but maybe you can slip that into a different reaction video if possible.
So its been a few days but I wanted to wait and see if others would answer the job question. And as far as I see no one has so I'll do that I guess So can you get a job in Genshin? Short answer, No Long answer is that you work for the adventures guild and take all sorts of missions, commissions, bounties, requests, & other miscellaneous tasks. Such as but not limited to, food delivery, breaking things, fighting people, finding sigils, jumping on mushrooms, collecting flowers, cleaning up leafs, getting medicines, digging up hidden objects, climbing up onto high spots, collecting rocks, talking to creatures that don't speak human, fighting those creatures, and many many many more. The ones I mentioned are not even part of any of the story quests so, you do a lot of work in Genshin.
The demos! Yay! Been binge watching your reactions. Sorry in advanced for the long comment 😭 21:53 - Xiao is not an anti-hero or a villain at all. He's an immortal warrior who made a contract to protect his nation. However this comes at a price. This is the pain and suffering you see him going through in the trailer. He seems like a super edgy guy, but he's learning to let loose throughout the story. 33:43 - The Lantern Rite happens in the nation of Liyue(China), and Yoimiya lives in Inazuma(Japan). Yoimiya's fireworks are for the festivals happening in Inazuma, not the Lantern Rite. and just fun facts; Yoimiya's design is supposed to represent Japanese Summer festivals, and Lantern Rite is based on China's Lunar New Year. (Your joke at the end of the trailer for her roasting you was pfunny) 43:40 - It's actually a major plot point in the story. When you play the game you'll get to experience it. 🙂 45:52 - A vision is what gives characters the ability to use the elements. It's a gift from the gods. They manifest as large orbs, that a character then wears. It'll be the color of the element, have the symbol of the element, and have a casing representing their character's nation. So for example, in Itto's trailer, you can see his is hanging from his neck. 1:00:36 - "4 Star? Bleh" lmao he says to one of the best units in the game 😂😂 1:01:18 - If a character has a Demo like these, then they're characters you can play. Not in a "you're Heizou, so you can go do detective cases now" kind of play. You can just use him on your team to punch people. 1:14:59 - The stars are a bit special in the world of Genshin. So the biggest University in this world literally has an entire field of study for it. Layla is a university student for that field of study. She is really just a tried and stressed out college student lol
Hey! Just letting you know since you asked in the video. A vision is what most characters have to use their powers.(Idk if you find that out through out the video since I wrote this as I was watching so my bad if you already knew!)
I mean you reacted to it no problem it was really enjoyable thanks for this experience but i would like to point out tht you saw some trailer for the characters disnt see what tht character is doing and got intrested in music
I love how you can see how they improve so much with the trailers. I would reccomend checking out Honkai Star Rail's character demos too. It's a game also made by the same company and the demos are similair in style but IMO, those are even better and more well made
Watched the whole video! That was fun, and also I also haven't seen all of those, it was great! And I'm also a new plYer and this year was my first lantern rite
If you haven't yet, you really should take a look at the characters' Collected Miscellany. Those show how the characters play and what their movesets are.
57:07 Ok so Anemo/wind is Greenish blue maybe teal. Geo/rock is yellow or brown, Electro/Lightning is purple, Dendro/grass is green, Hydro/water is blue, Pyro/fire is orange,red, or yellow, and Cryo/ice is baby blue or light blue. 1:01:23 All of these characters are playable ( the ones in these demo’s )
Heelloooo, love your videos, reactions are super engaging. Just wanted to say, if you'd like more stuff to react to about genshin, you could give the collected miscellanies a try. They are basically just info about how the characters skills work in game but it also explains just a little more about the character's personality and sometimes lore. Since Genshin is first and foremost a gacha game, this can help you decide which characters you like best and would want to play as. The videos are pretty long though, so if you do decide to react to them, it will probably be best if you watch it in two--three and even four videos, because ngl, it can get a little tedious to watch all at once and all of them together are probably over six hours long. Once again, your videos are amazing and I look forward to see you play the game :)
Hey man love this reaction! I know it might not be in english, i but i highly recommend you listen to Yun Jin's 'Divine Damsel of Devastation'. It's such a good Chinese opera song about Shenhe's backstory and its so sweet.
3:40 She is not the typical western zombi but a jiāngshī, also known as a Chinese hopping vampire, a type of reanimated corpse in Chinese legends and folklore. The characters for "jiāngshī" are read goeng-si in Cantonese. 45:32 Visions are items which allow their users to directly channel the power of one of the 7 elements. Visions are bestowed upon the people of Teyvat by the Archons (Gods). The elements are. Geo (earth), Anemo (wind), Electro (electric), Dendro (life/plant), Pyro (fire), Cryo (ice), Hydro (water). Also fun fact the names have ancient greek roots.
1:00:15 to answer your question, yes. There's a mission like that. You're going to love Fontaine lol. The Region of justice, law and order. Plenty of detective work.
What's funny about you saying Furina doesn't seem powerful (aside from her being pretty much a universal buffer, and a good one at that) is the fact that her three summons (the octopus, the crab, and the seahorse) are basically weapons of mass destruction 😂 They wipe out anything that moves, and they try to do the same to what doesn't move (seriously, if there is an interactable object nearby they'll try to destroy it with all their might 🤣)
To be fair, reacting to Genshin is a never ending endeavor. You could react to the music, which is the best thing Hoyo does in their games. I mean, you can criticize many things, but their music is always great. The problem is that there are SO MANY good songs that it's hard to pick the best. Since you seem to like songs with more beat to them, maybe boss themes are the best for you... go for Azhdaha's, La Signora's, and Scaramouche's. Not saying the others aren't great (they are all awesome), but these have much more beat. You could also react to the Collected Miscellany, although there are even more of those than demos and they have 5 min each, soooo. The goal of these videos is to teach you how to play each character, they talk about their abilities and what they do. So yeah, they are always interesting to watch when you want a character, but to watch all of them... it's A LOT. (Sorry I'm commenting several times... I was watching the video little by little)
Many people recommended that I react to the boss themes so I think I’ll definitely do so sometime this week! Also no worries comment as many times as you’d like 👍
Sorry if there are errors, I ' m not an American and ill know English and so I use translator. Genshin heroes have diffrent elements and weapons. Seven types of elements: Pyro (fire), Hydrro (water), Electro (electricity), Cryo (ice), Anemo (wind), Geo (stone) and Dendro (plants). Five types of weapons: sword, Claymore, speed, bow and catalyst. (unfortunately, there are no musicians).
Visions are what allows you to channel elemental energy to use against foes, but to get one requires you to be blessed by the Archons. Could be of strong will, a wish before imminent death (to overcome your challenge) or something else. You can see visions on characters by the little gems they wear, losing your vision means you lose your powers (except for Archons, they don't need visions as they have a Gnosis ((that channels elemental energy through their bodies and are also stronger, which is why Raiden Shogun is so strong because she is an Archon)). Archons can lose their gnosis if they're removed or given to someone by their own will. ((Unsure if they still have the power of elemental energy or not after losing their gnosis.))
An example of obtaining a vision is Bennett, who is known as a very unlucky person (seriously, he's super unlucky. one of his idle animations is just him getting hit by a random rock out of nowhere) Bennett got his Pyro (fire) vision from almost dying, which could mean he's not as unlucky as he thinks he is but he doesn't think the same. Even if he has a vision, he's lonely because no one wants to be in his adventure team (since he's unlucky, he brings it upon others unintentionally)
You can tell the quality of the demos went up as time went on. My personal favorites are Zhongli, Shogun, Nahida, Neuvillette, and Navia. The last one, Xianyun, aka Cloud Retainer, I liked it but one part kinda irks me, when she says “So, have I convinced you yet?” I think they forgot that she speaks of herself in the third person. There should be another one coming in a couple of weeks or so, Chiori, as she’s coming in version 4.5
50:18 You'd think so, but to this day, Shenhe and Chongyun have never interacted in-game. It's pretty annoying. Mika doesn't have a gun, just a crossbow.
you just missed raiden shogun by a few weeks lmao i was in the same boat when i first started playing the game for her last year and missed her banner by a week. she'll be back eventually.
1:46:55 "is it just me or does she not seem very powerful" disregarding her actual strength canonically since that's spoilers. she's actually one of the "strongest" characters in the game rn gameplay wise 😂
Juste so you know and because, it's quite hard for new players to get the pronounciations before Fontaine which is 100% normal lmao, Fréminè Nuhvilette Fourina (French pronounciation) Chévruhze Riseley And I think that's all for now, just so you don't get confused or anything we never know
1:26:25 Crtographers collect, measure, and interpret geographic information in order to create and update maps and charts. 1:28:51 Technically yes but no. He is the only character to have attack animations with a floating claymore/greatsword but he is not the only claymore user. Mehrak (the suitcase is an AI of sorts) to assist him in battle. Mehrak manipulates the weapon, and Kaveh controls it.
2:00 - Actually her trailer is in Chinese 10:10 - It's Cryo not Cyro. Cryo like cryogenic. So like... ice.... 57:05 - She is Hydro (Water) 1:00:17 - Once you get to Fontaine there are... 1:09:25 - Fun fact: The voice actor for Cyno is actually a youtuber by the name of Alejandro Saab (KagyFilms on YT) he used to do lots of anime videos and recently switched to Vtubing more then anything. 1:15:15 - She is a Rtawahist student but basically in the nation of Sumeru there are diferent schools known as the 6 Darshans. Each has a specific focus: *Amurta - Biology, Ecology, Medicine *Haravatat - Semiotics, Linguistics, Runes *Kshahrewar - Technology, Architecture, Puzzles *Rtawahist - Illuminationism, Astronomy, Astrology *Spantamad - Elementalism, Ley Lines, Alchemy *Vahumana - Aetiology, History, Social Science And as a bonus here are some characters that represent each Darshan: *Amurta - Tighnari *Haravatat - Faruzan *Kshahrewar - Kaveh *Rtawahist - Layla *Spantamad - Cyno *Vahumana - Wanderer There was a LTE concerning these 6 but considering it was a LTE and it took place ages ago I don't think it would count as a spoiler to reveal these 6 darshans. 1:26:30 - A cartographer is a person who surveys the land and draws out maps. 1:27:19 - That's a crossbow not a gun.
As a quick resume of genshin’s open world, The world the characters live in is called Teyvat and currently has 7 nations that are ruled by 7 archons with a different element they each master, there are people in teyvat who receive a vision of 1 of the 7 elements according to their ambitions and aspirations, therefore the heavens grants them a “vision” aka a piece of jewelry that allows you to use elemental powers. Every nations has several direct inspiration from real world countries and cultures, Mondstadt the city of freedom: Germany, Hungary, Holland and eastern europe Liyue the nation of contracts: Mainland China, mongolia, Taiwan, Laos and Korea even Inazuma the nation of eternity: Japan and the Ainu people Sumeru the Land of knowledge and wisdom: egyptian culture, India, Persian culture, arab cultures and the middle east Fontaine the nation of justice: Western Europe and in majority represents France Natlan the Nation of war: Pre-colonial north, south and mesoamerican tribes with some african cultures mixed in Snezhnaya (currently we dont know what their principal is but its mostly accepted by the community that snezhnaya is the nation of Love): represents Rusia on its entirety and probably northern european countries As for the gods that rule above this nations they are directly connected to 1 of the seven elements The Archons (gods): The Anemo (wind) Archon, god of freedom, who rules over mondstadt The Geo (earth/stone) Archon, lord of contracts, who rules over Liyue The Electro (thunder) Archon, godess of eternity, who rules over inazuma The Dendro (life/plants) Archon, godess of wisdom, who rules over most of Sumeru The Hydro (water) Archon, godess of justice, who rules over Fontaine The Pyro (fire) Archon, godess of war, who rules over Natlan And finally the Tsaritza the Cryo (ice) Archon, godess of love (?), who rules over Snezhnaya Edit: by the way the green bard from the early demos who’s called venti, the instruments he plays its called a lyre, its like a mini harp
@@Jevjevjevj Neuvillette is stronger in raw damage but Furina is objectively the better pull for an account. She can do excellent damage AND buff anyone in the game - support/sub-dps utility always outmatches raw DPSes in value.
Long comment coming in! "Collected Miscellany" series are waiting you, but I would say you've DONE every essential things Genshin has & ready to go! 🎉 Watching miscellanies before playing might feels like taking a summer class, my friend Miscellany will tell more character's internal setting (their lore from past to future) & external setting (best item/partner to use with) in detail. By "future" it's in literal meaning, which means, some are spoilers & some are yet to come so it became food for lore theorist. You've done Story Teasers reaction which is already spoilery, but incase you kinda REGRET it now (no bad intention in saying this, believe me please 🥲), definitely hold up & save it for after you play the game a day or more
39:24 I know it mentioned it somewhere, but I think it’s pulled out of an imaginary space? Or it’s built in her😭 I can’t remember 39:56 So the way banners work, are basically, a character is released and can be obtained through a banner. ( Aloy doesn’t have any reruns but you can still obtain her ) Nowadays during present versions 2 characters can be released/reran. These banners last 20 days. When they release a new character, usually another character gets a rerun or second chance to be obtained with them. Usually in a version they have the new 5 star with another rerunning 5 star in the first half then in the second half, They have 2 rerunning 5 stars. If there are 2 upcoming 5 stars they will probably be released in different versions to not create stress if people wanted them both. Many boss materials might possibly become useless and with so much hype over individual characters, this helps Hoyo increase the income. There are other reasons but I can’t really put it into words. Her next rerun with probably be around the beginning of the new year considering that’s when Natlan will have probably been released
1:34 Mondstadt is based off of Germany and Fish lives using very… unique and long words which are in German. This video is in I believe Mandarin Chinese though. Liyue is based off of China, Inazuma is based off of Japan, Sumeru India/middle eastern, Desert Egypt , Fontaine France, Natlan not to sure tbh, and Cryo nation ( not spelling it ) I think Russia.
The video wasn't in German, it was in Chinese. There's no german dub in genshin. Natlan is based off African and Native American cultures. Snezhnaya is inspired by all slavic cultures, not only russian

A brief explanation. Each character has the power of one of the 7 elements: cryo (ice), pyro (fire), hydro (water), dendro (plants), electro (electricity), geo (stone/earth), anemo (wind). The basis of the combat system in the game is that each element has a unique interaction with each other, forming reactions with unique effects. There are 4 characters in your squad, between which you can switch at any time and combine abilities with different types of elements.
Awesome thanks for letting me know!! I was wondering how many people could be in a squad
@@DruzersBasealso each character has one of five weapons swords, great swords, spears, bows, and catalysts.
@@DruzersBasemaximum 4 persons each team
Soo Fish blasting....You put bombs into the water and it explodes and kills all fish......Klee loves doing that
Damn LOL
We support dynamite fishing
Really enjoyed the reaction. It's refreshing when people actually pay attention to what they react to
Thank you so much!!
Genshin doesn't have your typical RPG classes, what defines a character is their kit, not their occupation or job
The game has soldiers, warriors, adventurers, politicians, lawyers, gang members, prison guards, scholars, musicians, etc.
if you think about it, we have someone go from jobless to waitress in this year Lantern rites xD
@@KiryuSeiran teyvat employment era
Magicians
Funeral parlour director, judge, bartender, journalist, architect, Batman.... I love that aspect of Genshin, so many different jobs.
Xiao isn't really cold Hearted per se. When he first came out, they made him much more edgy than he is supposed to be, but only in English.
He is a Yaksha, they restore order by slaying demons, and this in turn slowly drives them mad. He is the only living one remaining.
Ohhh Ok!
Cold hearted =/= stoic.
Some characters can appear charismatic, even goddamn hilarious, but their hearts are stone cold, those types of characters I actually adore.
Xiao isn't of the sort, he's the polar opposite. He and Diluc are the Batman characters of Genshin XD
@@ziephel-6780 exactly. He just keeps his words short. He does open up to us more though, after he realizes his Karmic debt doesn't affect us.
@@pal1d1nl1ght The closest character I can think of to be Xiao's opposite is Enjou from Enkonomiya, he is of the type that I described above. Wish he were playable.
23:16 possibly spoiler idk
Genshin hasn’t had any Halloween related events , this trailer has that spooky vibe because Hu Tao is the owner of a funeral parlor constantly on the rant of death and dealing with paranormal experiences. Btw Qiqi is a zombie.
well we had the test of courage in Inazuma once
but it was only because the theme was Yokai
Since in China talking about the topic of death is kinda forbidden or discouraged

ohhhhh Alright

In case you haven't figured it out yet, a person gets a "Vision" when they unlock elemental powers. It's like a piece of jewerly that has the symbol of your element on it. How to get a Vision is stil up to debate, but it seems that your ambitions have to be very big, and then the gods answer your ambitions by rewarding you with elemental powers, by giving you a Vision.
So I guess our protagonist's ambition to find their sibling is not yet strong enough even after more then 500 years. Either that or the gods or celestia doesn't approve of their ambition so they ain't giving them a vision.
Oooor they saw that they can resonate with literally every element so they thought it unnecessary to give them a vision.... Where are Lumine & Aether from anyway ? Sooo many questions, not enough answers. All we know is they're from "Beyond The Stars'' no ?
If you like the genshin music so much, there`s a recent live concert where they played the best ones, filmes in shangai. You should definetely check it out!!
There are seven elements, which people have described in other comments.
But each character is also separated by a weapon type, of which there are 5: Bow, Sword, Claymore (mostly Greatswords), Polearm (Spears and Staffs), and Catalyst. Catalyst users are a bit confusing, they are usually portrayed as 'mages' who use a non traditional weapon (book, orb, bell, fan, etc.) to 'cast', or in case of Wriothesley and Heizou, just punch people.
The game doesn't have classes, and each character's role in their team depends entirely on their personal kit
Heizou punches and kicks, Wriothesley solely punches
1:13:04 Nahida is actually one of the strongest characters in this game.. get her on your party, she can make any team’s better and stronger.. she’s actually OP both lore and in the gameplay.. because she’s actually one of Archon, the God of Wisdom and Lord of Dendro element
To add on to what others have mentioned about the regions, there's also certain "enemy factions" (not spoilers):
- Fatui - Usually arrogant 'Diplomats' from a certain country who keep shoving their weight around in other countries. The poor guys you mention that keep getting beat up in trailers, like Wanderer's one. 🤣
- Treasure Hoarders - A very large international group of low-level thieves/bandits/graverobbers/do-no-gooders. The enemy in Yelan and Baizhu trailer.
- Ronin - Homeless wandering katana wielding warriors only in Inazuma. The enemy in Yoimiya and Yae Miko trailer.
- Eremites - Mercenaries who mostly live in the desert, exclusive to Sumeru. The enemy in Cyno and Dehya trailer
- Abyss - A faction that seems to be plotting something from the shadows. The hollow knight-looking enemy in Shenhe's trailer
45:52 In the game visions are these objects some characters have that allow them to control and use elemental energy. Almost all playable characters have visions, one can count in one hand how many don't have visions or don't require them to use elemental energy
6:47 yes, there is one character whose main source of power is music: Xinyan. Yun Jin and Nilou use dance or performative moves to fight. The others are musicians or artists who know how to fight.
oooh That Awesome!!
Fun fact: every character is part of one of the 7 nations, which are all based on real life places!
The first "arc" is Mondstadt, which is mainly based on Germany
The second one of Liyue, which is based on China
The third one is Inazuma, which is based on Japan
The fourth one is Sumeru, which is based on the middle east and the places around it (mainly Egypt, persia with a sprinkle of arabic influences and more)
The fift one (which we're at right now in the game) is Fontaine, which is mainly based on France with some inspiration from England
The sixt one (not yet in game) is Natlan, which will very likley be based on Meso-america (aztec and maya cultures) with some africain inspiration too
and the seventh one is Snezhnaya (also not in game), which is Based on Russia and slavic cultures
There may be one more but you'll have to play the game to see ;)
If you want to see more about it, I dunno if you checked it out yet, but you can look up "Teyvat chapter storyline: travail" which will showcase one character out of the 7 regions and explain a little of each act and it's stories! :D anyways, awesome video! :D
Oh wow that's actually dope had no clue they were based on real places! other than the egypt one lol. Also i believe I reacted to the Teyvat chapter storyline: travail in my first genshin video. I might rewatch it tho since i understand everything more now. Also Thank You!!!
@@DruzersBase yeah! There’s a lot of very interesting lore which tie to real life myths and legends! And yeah, I checked and you did! :D now you have the context! :)
I love that you enjoy the music so much! Genshin has some of my favorite video game music ever, I really look forward to your reactions to the music if you do them!
YES the music is so good ill definitely be reacting to the battle themes!
45:52 basically, Visions are what gives elemental powers to their owner. As for why there was a Vision hunt decree in Inazuma... well you'll have to play the game to understand, no spoilers
Gotcha
OMG ITS HERE!! I just got off work so I'm super excited to watch ❤
❤️❤️❤️
45:20 Visions are quite literally what makes a character playable💀 It’s a blessing from the gods that gives them elemental powers that coordinate which element that god rules as.
ohhhh so its there power
huh i thought visions were from celestia? based on nahida voice line
@@reinn-of1ze Close enough😭
@@DruzersBaseFurina got hers from Neuvillette
@@DruzersBaseye it’s where they get there powers from
the fireworks girl, yoimiya, her family runs a fireworks shop. So that's what she does for a living, and yes she does fight with them :)
Ahhhh ok 👌
It was refreshing seeing you not just focusing on the characters but the music as well! Really enjoyed the video!
Glad you enjoyed it!
41:58 So with the release of Fontaine, diving is now a thing and no you don’t need a specific person to do it for you. Some characters give you a buff that improve your swimming speed or stamina, but that’s not preventing you to dive underwater and start killing things. On land combat was really the only thing before Fontaine but underwater, there are mechanics that help you fight that aren’t from the character itself. Team comps exist and to clear game content like the Abyss, you need 2 good team comps that have characters that synergies well together. As I said there are underwater mechanic which basically replace all your skills so you can’t use that character skill but the one underwater
The only thing is that only Fontaine characters can jump out of the water like dolphins 😂
1:19:25 She's over 100 years old in technical term, this is because she got trapped in a room that basically had time stopped. She only got out after unlocking a puzzle that opened the door only to found out that her entire life, friends and relative was gone.
She only claims to be old to gain respect from people.
Damn lmao
Yooo!!! It's finally here!! Demos let's gooooo!!! Each of their character music is soooo gooood!
3:00 mad respect you remember Gouba's god story! That event cutscene and story was a limited time event so newer players wont see it unless they search, so I'm glad you'll remember him!
6:42 There's characters who are known to be singers, artists, and performers as their occupation, and yes some of their skills revolve around showing that off. Venti here is a bard. While his skills dont really show him playing music, he has an idle animation where he brings out his lyre and plays some notes!
22:02 You're right at the part where he's not a bad guy. He's just dealing with the nastier things that others normally wouldnt. In a sense he's a protector, but eons (hundreds to thousands of years) of slaughter has made him accumulate karmic debt (think evil energy just piling in your body with each thing you kill) so he has an inner struggle to keep his sanity or else he'll give in to darkness.
34:15 Unfortunately no. Though I get why you'd think that way! Yoimiya is from Inazuma, the Japanese inspired nation in the game. Lantern Rite is a Liyue celebration, which is the China inspired nation. They dropped Yoimiya right when Inazuma was first released!
39:54 Characters come and go as Event gacha! They usually have around 3 or 4 weeks of staying as the current gacha before another character gets a featured rate-up. Raiden just got her rerun last month unfortunately, so it might take a while for her to come back, but that just means you can save up!
45:53 A Vision is basically a physical manifestation of a person's elemental powers! It's randomly given to someone who's "ambitions reach the heavens" to put it in the game's terms. It's like a trinket composed of a gem (based on the color of their element, red for fire/pyro, torquise for ice/cryo, etc..) and a casing (determined by the person's nation). In Itto's case, his Vision is the trinket you see at 44:22, just bellow his neck. His is a Geo (earth) vision, that's why it's yellow, and the casing is an Inazuma case. Klee's vision is on her bag at 8:40 , and it's a Pyro gem with the Mondstadt (her nation) case! Because it has a physical form, it can be taken away apparently.
1:46:58 It may not seem like she's doing much damage here in the trailer, but as of now, she's one of the most OP supports and buffers in game! Her demo just generally shows her love for flair!
Overall, really glad that you pay attention to the story in between the lines, heck even making references to the previous teasers and trailers! That's kudos to you! I look forward to seeing you start the journey on March!
Yup im starting to remember things LOL! So what im seeing is there powers kind of play off of there careeer choice? Also im very excited to start this journey in march!!!!!!!
The game only has 5 weapon types, but they can be unique based on their appearance and stats: Swords, Claymores, Polearms, Bows, and Catalysts
Swords are tour typical broadsword appearance at first, but there are craftables particularly in Inazuma that resemble katanas. Heck you can even use a pipe and a closed umbrella as a sword hahaha.
Claymores are basically big-ass sword types. They can be greatswords, clubs, a big fucking tuna, and more recently with Navia, a giant axe.
Polearms are typically spears. There hasn't been ones with extremely unique appearance imo, but I'm personally waiting for one that will look like a scythe.
Bows of course are bows. You've seen Venti with the Skyward Harp and there was even another fish related bow 😂
And lastly, Catalysts. These are magic objects the character carries with them and their appearance can be your typical magic books, magic relics, or more recently with Wriothesley, a literal drone.
Thanks for letting me know about the weapons!!
YESSIR ITS HERE
YUUUUUUUUUUUUPPPPPPPP
Great video! Glad you enjoyed the demo music, I love them so much. You did manage to skip Gorou's demo though, but maybe you can slip that into a different reaction video if possible.
I missed one Brahhh I’ll probably do a video reacting to it today since I planned to not upload lol
So its been a few days but I wanted to wait and see if others would answer the job question. And as far as I see no one has so I'll do that I guess
So can you get a job in Genshin? Short answer, No
Long answer is that you work for the adventures guild and take all sorts of missions, commissions, bounties, requests, & other miscellaneous tasks. Such as but not limited to, food delivery, breaking things, fighting people, finding sigils, jumping on mushrooms, collecting flowers, cleaning up leafs, getting medicines, digging up hidden objects, climbing up onto high spots, collecting rocks, talking to creatures that don't speak human, fighting those creatures, and many many many more. The ones I mentioned are not even part of any of the story quests so, you do a lot of work in Genshin.
Ohhh ok so it’s more going Job to job or task by task not an actual job
Finally! Let's goooo
I totally feel your good work, subscribed, keep it up buddy!
Awesome, thank you!
The demos! Yay! Been binge watching your reactions. Sorry in advanced for the long comment 😭
21:53 - Xiao is not an anti-hero or a villain at all. He's an immortal warrior who made a contract to protect his nation. However this comes at a price. This is the pain and suffering you see him going through in the trailer. He seems like a super edgy guy, but he's learning to let loose throughout the story.
33:43 - The Lantern Rite happens in the nation of Liyue(China), and Yoimiya lives in Inazuma(Japan). Yoimiya's fireworks are for the festivals happening in Inazuma, not the Lantern Rite. and just fun facts; Yoimiya's design is supposed to represent Japanese Summer festivals, and Lantern Rite is based on China's Lunar New Year. (Your joke at the end of the trailer for her roasting you was pfunny)
43:40 - It's actually a major plot point in the story. When you play the game you'll get to experience it. 🙂
45:52 - A vision is what gives characters the ability to use the elements. It's a gift from the gods. They manifest as large orbs, that a character then wears. It'll be the color of the element, have the symbol of the element, and have a casing representing their character's nation. So for example, in Itto's trailer, you can see his is hanging from his neck.
1:00:36 - "4 Star? Bleh" lmao he says to one of the best units in the game 😂😂
1:01:18 - If a character has a Demo like these, then they're characters you can play. Not in a "you're Heizou, so you can go do detective cases now" kind of play. You can just use him on your team to punch people.
1:14:59 - The stars are a bit special in the world of Genshin. So the biggest University in this world literally has an entire field of study for it. Layla is a university student for that field of study. She is really just a tried and stressed out college student lol
Glad your excited! also thanks for answer my questions!!!
HELL YEAHHHHHH THATS WHAT IVE BEEN WAITING FOOORR!!
YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Hey! Just letting you know since you asked in the video. A vision is what most characters have to use their powers.(Idk if you find that out through out the video since I wrote this as I was watching so my bad if you already knew!)
He already watched the version trailers, I think he knows after all, it was dived in pretty deep in the first few inazuma version trailers
Thanks for letting me know i was kinda confused on it.
I mean you reacted to it no problem it was really enjoyable thanks for this experience but i would like to point out tht you saw some trailer for the characters disnt see what tht character is doing and got intrested in music
THE DEMO REACTION !!!!!! IT IS HERE THANK YOU!! 💫✨
No problem! Hope you Enjoy!!
I love how you can see how they improve so much with the trailers. I would reccomend checking out Honkai Star Rail's character demos too. It's a game also made by the same company and the demos are similair in style but IMO, those are even better and more well made
I already did a reaction to those th-cam.com/video/08UlN5Ty4cI/w-d-xo.html Thanks for watching
Watched the whole video! That was fun, and also I also haven't seen all of those, it was great!
And I'm also a new plYer and this year was my first lantern rite
Thank you!!!
each trailer gets there own music incase curious
If you haven't yet, you really should take a look at the characters' Collected Miscellany. Those show how the characters play and what their movesets are.
ill check them out!
7:30 the instrument is a Lyre! Incase no one else let you know yet :D
Oh ok Thank you! nobody had told me yet lol
It didn't even come out in the tonight, which is cool
Oh it’s 2am for me loool
@@DruzersBase i have 12:32(morning)
Next, watch the collected miscellany for explanation of each characters ability
57:07 Ok so Anemo/wind is Greenish blue maybe teal. Geo/rock is yellow or brown, Electro/Lightning is purple, Dendro/grass is green, Hydro/water is blue, Pyro/fire is orange,red, or yellow, and Cryo/ice is baby blue or light blue.
1:01:23 All of these characters are playable ( the ones in these demo’s )
1:30 it's in chinese, genshin's original language. fischl's demo was never dubbed to any other language
BRUHHHH How was i that off
Correction : Fischl’s was dubbed in all languages except english 🤓☝🏻
1:26:29 cartogrpaher makes maps/charts of geographical areas
Ohhh alrighty
Both the jungle and the desert are part of Sumeru a nation inspired in egipt,india,and the middle east
LETS FING GOOOO
LEEEEZZZZ GOOOOOOGOGOGOGOGOGo
Heelloooo, love your videos, reactions are super engaging. Just wanted to say, if you'd like more stuff to react to about genshin, you could give the collected miscellanies a try. They are basically just info about how the characters skills work in game but it also explains just a little more about the character's personality and sometimes lore. Since Genshin is first and foremost a gacha game, this can help you decide which characters you like best and would want to play as. The videos are pretty long though, so if you do decide to react to them, it will probably be best if you watch it in two--three and even four videos, because ngl, it can get a little tedious to watch all at once and all of them together are probably over six hours long. Once again, your videos are amazing and I look forward to see you play the game :)
Thank you! Ima definitely react to them!
Oh yess, let's goo!
Glad your excited!!!
Hey man love this reaction!
I know it might not be in english, i but i highly recommend you listen to Yun Jin's 'Divine Damsel of Devastation'. It's such a good Chinese opera song about Shenhe's backstory and its so sweet.
He already watched it…
@@tomatorama oh really mb😭
Thank you!!!
Not gonna lie bro, i was expecting that deep voice from someone that looks really young
Cool video man
Thank you!
You deserve more attention bro
Someday 🙏
1:54:34 Xianyun/Cloud Retainer: WHAT DID YOU JUST CALL ONESELF??!?
LOOOL
3:40 She is not the typical western zombi but a jiāngshī, also known as a Chinese hopping vampire, a type of reanimated corpse in Chinese legends and folklore. The characters for "jiāngshī" are read goeng-si in Cantonese.
45:32 Visions are items which allow their users to directly channel the power of one of the 7 elements. Visions are bestowed upon the people of Teyvat by the Archons (Gods).
The elements are. Geo (earth), Anemo (wind), Electro (electric), Dendro (life/plant), Pyro (fire), Cryo (ice), Hydro (water). Also fun fact the names have ancient greek roots.
Oh that makes since!
I love the way he pronounces their names im literally cryingg
LMAOOO
1:00:15 to answer your question, yes. There's a mission like that. You're going to love Fontaine lol. The Region of justice, law and order. Plenty of detective work.
What's funny about you saying Furina doesn't seem powerful (aside from her being pretty much a universal buffer, and a good one at that) is the fact that her three summons (the octopus, the crab, and the seahorse) are basically weapons of mass destruction 😂 They wipe out anything that moves, and they try to do the same to what doesn't move (seriously, if there is an interactable object nearby they'll try to destroy it with all their might 🤣)
I was completely off on that LOL
and you'll know they are having fun trying to kill some torches because your HP will keep draining lol
To be fair, reacting to Genshin is a never ending endeavor.
You could react to the music, which is the best thing Hoyo does in their games. I mean, you can criticize many things, but their music is always great. The problem is that there are SO MANY good songs that it's hard to pick the best. Since you seem to like songs with more beat to them, maybe boss themes are the best for you... go for Azhdaha's, La Signora's, and Scaramouche's. Not saying the others aren't great (they are all awesome), but these have much more beat.
You could also react to the Collected Miscellany, although there are even more of those than demos and they have 5 min each, soooo. The goal of these videos is to teach you how to play each character, they talk about their abilities and what they do. So yeah, they are always interesting to watch when you want a character, but to watch all of them... it's A LOT.
(Sorry I'm commenting several times... I was watching the video little by little)
Many people recommended that I react to the boss themes so I think I’ll definitely do so sometime this week! Also no worries comment as many times as you’d like 👍
LETS GOOOOOO
YESSSSIRRRRRR
"Ok!,..KuiKui element psyro.."😂😂
Sorry if there are errors, I ' m not an American and ill know English and so I use translator. Genshin heroes have diffrent elements and weapons. Seven types of elements: Pyro (fire), Hydrro (water), Electro (electricity), Cryo (ice), Anemo (wind), Geo (stone) and Dendro (plants). Five types of weapons: sword, Claymore, speed, bow and catalyst. (unfortunately, there are no musicians).
Well thanks for putting in effort to let me know! Bummer there’s no musicians
Visions are what allows you to channel elemental energy to use against foes, but to get one requires you to be blessed by the Archons. Could be of strong will, a wish before imminent death (to overcome your challenge) or something else.
You can see visions on characters by the little gems they wear, losing your vision means you lose your powers (except for Archons, they don't need visions as they have a Gnosis ((that channels elemental energy through their bodies and are also stronger, which is why Raiden Shogun is so strong because she is an Archon)).
Archons can lose their gnosis if they're removed or given to someone by their own will. ((Unsure if they still have the power of elemental energy or not after losing their gnosis.))
An example of obtaining a vision is Bennett, who is known as a very unlucky person (seriously, he's super unlucky. one of his idle animations is just him getting hit by a random rock out of nowhere)
Bennett got his Pyro (fire) vision from almost dying, which could mean he's not as unlucky as he thinks he is but he doesn't think the same. Even if he has a vision, he's lonely because no one wants to be in his adventure team (since he's unlucky, he brings it upon others unintentionally)
Ohhhh alrighty thanks so much for letting me know
Archons don't give visions.
Also, gnosis is not the source of their elemental power, merely a symbol of authority and recognition by Celestia
You can tell the quality of the demos went up as time went on. My personal favorites are Zhongli, Shogun, Nahida, Neuvillette, and Navia. The last one, Xianyun, aka Cloud Retainer, I liked it but one part kinda irks me, when she says “So, have I convinced you yet?” I think they forgot that she speaks of herself in the third person. There should be another one coming in a couple of weeks or so, Chiori, as she’s coming in version 4.5
Yeah genshin just keep upgrading it’s amazing
I think Cloud Retainer is starting to talk in first person more, to blend in as a human
@@KayKayBayForever I agree, Moon Carver and Mountain Shaper sounded cringe when they talked
At 1:33:32 yes I have seen three magic shows and magicians two in my city and one out off city they were fun
2:01 her name is pronounced fish-ill : )
Venti's power isn't music, he's just a bard because it's cool
if you like persona, arataki ittos voice actor is the same as ryujis
Really? Im surprised i could not tell lol
50:18 You'd think so, but to this day, Shenhe and Chongyun have never interacted in-game. It's pretty annoying.
Mika doesn't have a gun, just a crossbow.
Yesss ❤❤🎉 I love genshin
Glad Your excited!!
@@DruzersBase :D ofc
you just missed raiden shogun by a few weeks lmao i was in the same boat when i first started playing the game for her last year and missed her banner by a week. she'll be back eventually.
Damnnnn
1:46:55 "is it just me or does she not seem very powerful"
disregarding her actual strength canonically since that's spoilers.
she's actually one of the "strongest" characters in the game rn gameplay wise 😂
Damn 😭
Your personality is nice lol
Thank you!
Juste so you know and because, it's quite hard for new players to get the pronounciations before Fontaine which is 100% normal lmao,
Fréminè
Nuhvilette
Fourina (French pronounciation)
Chévruhze
Riseley
And I think that's all for now, just so you don't get confused or anything we never know
Thank you
1:26:25 Crtographers collect, measure, and interpret geographic information in order to create and update maps and charts.
1:28:51 Technically yes but no. He is the only character to have attack animations with a floating claymore/greatsword but he is not the only claymore user. Mehrak (the suitcase is an AI of sorts) to assist him in battle. Mehrak manipulates the weapon, and Kaveh controls it.
2:00 - Actually her trailer is in Chinese
10:10 - It's Cryo not Cyro. Cryo like cryogenic. So like... ice....
57:05 - She is Hydro (Water)
1:00:17 - Once you get to Fontaine there are...
1:09:25 - Fun fact: The voice actor for Cyno is actually a youtuber by the name of Alejandro Saab (KagyFilms on YT) he used to do lots of anime videos and recently switched to Vtubing more then anything.
1:15:15 - She is a Rtawahist student but basically in the nation of Sumeru there are diferent schools known as the 6 Darshans. Each has a specific focus:
*Amurta - Biology, Ecology, Medicine
*Haravatat - Semiotics, Linguistics, Runes
*Kshahrewar - Technology, Architecture, Puzzles
*Rtawahist - Illuminationism, Astronomy, Astrology
*Spantamad - Elementalism, Ley Lines, Alchemy
*Vahumana - Aetiology, History, Social Science
And as a bonus here are some characters that represent each Darshan:
*Amurta - Tighnari
*Haravatat - Faruzan
*Kshahrewar - Kaveh
*Rtawahist - Layla
*Spantamad - Cyno
*Vahumana - Wanderer
There was a LTE concerning these 6 but considering it was a LTE and it took place ages ago I don't think it would count as a spoiler to reveal these 6 darshans.
1:26:30 - A cartographer is a person who surveys the land and draws out maps.
1:27:19 - That's a crossbow not a gun.
OHHH That makes since LMAO
zhongli trailer will always be cold af it's so good
FR! Its so good
The misproninciation of their names physically hurts me but you'll get the hang of it when you start playing 😅
Ill get use to it loool
As a quick resume of genshin’s open world,
The world the characters live in is called Teyvat and currently has 7 nations that are ruled by 7 archons with a different element they each master, there are people in teyvat who receive a vision of 1 of the 7 elements according to their ambitions and aspirations, therefore the heavens grants them a “vision” aka a piece of jewelry that allows you to use elemental powers.
Every nations has several direct inspiration from real world countries and cultures,
Mondstadt the city of freedom: Germany, Hungary, Holland and eastern europe
Liyue the nation of contracts: Mainland China, mongolia, Taiwan, Laos and Korea even
Inazuma the nation of eternity: Japan and the Ainu people
Sumeru the Land of knowledge and wisdom: egyptian culture, India, Persian culture, arab cultures and the middle east
Fontaine the nation of justice: Western Europe and in majority represents France
Natlan the Nation of war: Pre-colonial north, south and mesoamerican tribes with some african cultures mixed in
Snezhnaya (currently we dont know what their principal is but its mostly accepted by the community that snezhnaya is the nation of Love): represents Rusia on its entirety and probably northern european countries
As for the gods that rule above this nations they are directly connected to 1 of the seven elements
The Archons (gods):
The Anemo (wind) Archon, god of freedom, who rules over mondstadt
The Geo (earth/stone) Archon, lord of contracts, who rules over Liyue
The Electro (thunder) Archon, godess of eternity, who rules over inazuma
The Dendro (life/plants) Archon, godess of wisdom, who rules over most of Sumeru
The Hydro (water) Archon, godess of justice, who rules over Fontaine
The Pyro (fire) Archon, godess of war, who rules over Natlan
And finally the Tsaritza the Cryo (ice) Archon, godess of love (?), who rules over Snezhnaya
Edit: by the way the green bard from the early demos who’s called venti, the instruments he plays its called a lyre, its like a mini harp
Holy Cow! Thanks for the info!
Wanderer is son raiden shogun (ei)
"Is it just me or does she not seem very powerful" if only you knew, good sir.
Bro tried his best to stop his intrusive thoughts, just to stay family friendly
I’m not family friendly 😭😭😭
"is it just me or she doesnt seem powerfull" Brother couldnt be more wrong about Furina) She is actually the strongest character in genshin atm
Damn 😭
Neuvillette is the strongest, but she's up there too
She’s not the strongest lore wise though. Not by a long shot.
@@Jevjevjevj Neuvillette is stronger in raw damage but Furina is objectively the better pull for an account. She can do excellent damage AND buff anyone in the game - support/sub-dps utility always outmatches raw DPSes in value.
Absolutely butchering the names, love to see it. Keep em coming man.
😂
"Furina doesn't seem very powerful"
In game Furina: Nobody tell him.
😭😭😭
1:22:10 This is the hold variation of his skill. In truth he is Dendro Keqing if you remember her, it just never showed the hold variant.
Xianyun looks like Bayonetta
I kinda see it lol 😂
Bro struggled with a lot of names but not wriothesley's ???? 😂
Lmao 😭😭😭
Neuvillet not neuvilleti
Bro thinks Mika's crossbow is a revolver. 😭😂
Bro really Said Furina is Weak 😂😂😂
My fault Og 😭
Long comment coming in! "Collected Miscellany" series are waiting you, but I would say you've DONE every essential things Genshin has & ready to go! 🎉 Watching miscellanies before playing might feels like taking a summer class, my friend Miscellany will tell more character's internal setting (their lore from past to future) & external setting (best item/partner to use with) in detail. By "future" it's in literal meaning, which means, some are spoilers & some are yet to come so it became food for lore theorist. You've done Story Teasers reaction which is already spoilery, but incase you kinda REGRET it now (no bad intention in saying this, believe me please 🥲), definitely hold up & save it for after you play the game a day or more
To be honest ive been doing so many reactions i kinda forgot quite a bit of the story teasers loool. So i might check this out!
45:52 visions are what characters use to wield the elements...
Did you miss gorou?
Yes if you go to my channel i did a separate video reacting to his since i missed it!
Sorry dude but you just missed her rerun banner. It will take at least one year for the Raiden shogun to come back
damnnnnn
I love to see that youre vibing the heck out of genshin soundtracks! They’re just too good
Also 15:01: most epic drop in history
They are amazing
39:24 I know it mentioned it somewhere, but I think it’s pulled out of an imaginary space? Or it’s built in her😭 I can’t remember
39:56 So the way banners work, are basically, a character is released and can be obtained through a banner. ( Aloy doesn’t have any reruns but you can still obtain her ) Nowadays during present versions 2 characters can be released/reran. These banners last 20 days. When they release a new character, usually another character gets a rerun or second chance to be obtained with them. Usually in a version they have the new 5 star with another rerunning 5 star in the first half then in the second half,
They have 2 rerunning 5 stars. If there are 2 upcoming 5 stars they will probably be released in different versions to not create stress if people wanted them both. Many boss materials might possibly become useless and with so much hype over individual characters, this helps Hoyo increase the income. There are other reasons but I can’t really put it into words.
Her next rerun with probably be around the beginning of the new year considering that’s when Natlan will have probably been released
u probably dont know but...its pronouced shogoon not gun
Btw it isn't german it's Chinese. Genshin is supposed to be a chinese game
Yeah lol idk why i even thought that
1:34 Mondstadt is based off of Germany and Fish lives using very… unique and long words which are in German. This video is in I believe Mandarin Chinese though. Liyue is based off of China, Inazuma is based off of Japan, Sumeru India/middle eastern, Desert Egypt , Fontaine France, Natlan not to sure tbh, and Cryo nation ( not spelling it ) I think Russia.
That video wasn't in German tho... I may have misunderstood this comment, wdym by that?
The video wasn't in German, it was in Chinese. There's no german dub in genshin. Natlan is based off African and Native American cultures. Snezhnaya is inspired by all slavic cultures, not only russian
@@narcyz6412 Oh sorry then😭😭 But aren’t some of the words fish says German?
@@narcyz6412OMG I SWEAR I DIDN’T NOTICE IT SAID “ This is in German though” 😭😭😭
@@LodestarAndNightfallYeah my bad I put it in German but I meant Chinese Mandarin
