She's gonna get Final Lesson'd. We can never keep our Himekos (please Hoyo prove me wrong)
The character who's demo you said you probably didn't watch is Ororon, he's a 4-star but his demo is still pretty cool and iirc plays around with framerates a bit?
I'm not sure you've ever been this fast Phil, but I'm so happy to see this while I'm still rocking out to the theme lol
Thank you!!! Haha I had the opportunity so I did it!
@@PhilipHarts We love it man!
500 years ago, Mavuika and 6 heroes from the 6 tribes of Natlan fought against the Abyss, an oppressive force that constantly ravages Natlan. These heroes hold something called Ancient Names (seen at 11:13), which collect the triumphs of each user and acts as fuel for Mavuika's power. As part of her plan, Mavuika sacrificed her life in the past and travelled 500 years into the future, to let the tribes of Natlan rebuild and collect power from the Ancient Names.
The 6 characters you see today share the Ancient Names of the heroes from the past, and their Ancient Names allow them to call on the power of every hero before them. Another cool detail is that Mavuika's Ancient Name "Kiongozi" means "leader," which is symbolized by her being the lead singer and the banner that she wields.
Also Akira slide at 2:40!!
That Akira slide made this a 10/10.
hoyo decided to sneak in the words
"I will never let you go" in the song
Diabolical
Guess we know who Sparkle is visiting next after Vita.
Don't forget everyone who has genshin on hoyolab got a custom notification of Mavuika telling us "I will never let you go" when the trailer dropped😅
Xilonen, Kinich, Chasca, and the other band members are inheritors of the Ancient Names of her old comrades, so their slow appearance as her band members represents how her old comrades' souls are appearing one by one 500 years later to accompany her for the final battle at the end.
A really cool thing about this video is that it seems like the "in-game" instruments are sync'd with the song so that it looks like they're actually playing it.
An interesting element to the Traveler which might be being expressed here by their absence is that they are not one of this world's heroes. They are an acclaimed and celebrated hero within this world, but while a constant in all of their public deeds was that their presence served as a necessary catalyst to make the plot happen, and they're often visible and inspiring at the forefront while clearly surviving things only a hero could expect to, they're not the people the world at large actually sees doing the big things. The Traveler gets associated with doing the big things due to all the world's heroes testimony giving them credit. The Traveler's most significant fights and deeds tend to occur in private, shrouded from public view, and some of the most important the public will never even hear a whisper of. In this plotline, while as in Fontaine the regional Archon knows the instant you cross the borders and does want to meet you, this time around she's simply too busy right then either to seek you out or have a private conversation.
And just as I implied earlier, the way the plot is setting up (I haven't been able to log in for a couple of days now - real life's a problem - so haven't experienced the conclusion) Mauvika does in fact want the Traveler with her for a final battle that will take place in an environment where you and she really are the only available people with the right resistances to survive. (This means even separating from Paimon, who has endured this once before and hated the prospect that time too.) ...My current speculation is that all the preparations she's been making to preserve your own life through this will be recycled to save her as while she doesn't seem to have even thought about this from the right angle, the Traveler is being offered something incredibly valuable and requiring significant sacrifice to create that they have a pretty good reason to suspect they don't ever want to possess (this has been bugging me since early on, as the writers tend not to lose track of this sort of thing) but that Mauvika herself might be able to use and badly needs.
So the Traveler will be at the grand celebration, and tales of them will be told, but they aren't on the stage where the heroes are all gathered.
the thing i love most about this entire trailer, is catch phrase in Natlan is “No one fights alone”, there’s not a giant concert in the actual game but the entirety of Natlan’s story is about coming together to overcome the darkness and danger of the Abyss, people who were enemies in previous nations like like the Fatui, heroes from the past and present all come and fight together and save and fight for one another❤️
No a concert like this doesn’t happen in game, but Mavuika’s whole goal has always been unity and coming together putting aside differences to fight the common enemy, she easily could have destroyed the Fatui and Captain when they interfered with her plan, but instead she chose unity and coming together by convincing them with her actions to follow her against a common foe, and this trailer plus all of her material has shown her dedication to that, whether it’s fighting the Abyss to save Natlan or absolutely SHREDDING IT on stage in this case haha
In her short “Sunset” she goes forward 500 years into the future as the lone survivor of her comrades, the old heroes who died spirits come together in a new generation of heroes to destroy the Abyss, she watched her old friends march to their deaths because they believed in her and her plan, she went on alone and just like back then is united Natlan together to finally end the threat for good, it’s all topped off by the fact she’s the only archon who was a HUMAN and not a god, good lord I could rant for hours about how amazing this is, I love her and her story so so much
Mavuika is the only archon(nation leader) that gives me vibes that i would be willing to ride and die with, mostly i think it`s because although at the end of day she is still only one of archons who is human she is willing to go as far as she needs for her nation and is quite literally getting hands on in action. 5.3 story is gonna be banger i can already tell
I absolutely love your reaction videos, Phil! Even though I’m not pursuing a film-related career, your insights bring so much depth and perspective to the trailers. It’s both entertaining and enlightening, truly awesome! Keep up the amazing work my goat
@8:07 That is Ororon who released in the same patch as Chasca. I may have missed it glancing through the channel, but I think you haven't looked through his trailer as well as Kinich (green guy) and Mualani (blue girl).
Thanks for the breakdown! I love hearing about the visual techniques they use.
Chrissy Costanza's vocals are a treat as always.
also, 2:42 obligatory "Akira Slide".
BLud reacted to this video INSTANTLY
They have all 4 different languages for the song, and JP one sang by the VA which is very impressive.
You said you don't recall Ororon (guy in dark clothing and hood). If you haven't yet, you should definitely give his character demo a watch. It is short, but there is a lot in terms of cool film editing in it.
The eclipse is a very neat metaphor for Mavuika's plan and constellation name (undefeated sun). Is like she got covered by darkness 500 years ago, but only to come back to shine again
the voice of philip is literally Neuvillette voice in English :0
No one fights alone. FOR NATLAN!!! ❤❤❤ Also, she sacrificed being with her friends and family to move 500 years into the future to try and win a war. Her family is all gone now (since she time traveled) but her comrades are the 6 heros of Natlan. One for each tribe. Each color represents the rainbow. Red/orange = fire. Yellow = Earth. Green = plants. Blue = Water. Purple = Electricity/lightning. The 6 heros of Natlan all banded together to help Mavuika fight the war and when they all "stand together" they make up the "rainbow destined to burn" (which is the name of our current quest chapter in game)
FOR NATLAN!!!
I find the 6:30 clip with the camera movement around Mavuika very reminiscent of the Offspring video "The Kids Aren't Alright".
This technique further highlights Mavuika's resolve. This is a truly excellent trailer.
To answer your lore question: Mavuika was very dead for the past 500 years. She spent those 500 years in the underworld of Natlan, known as the Night Kingdom, as a spirit untethered from time. What those years were like we don't know, as we do know that other souls in the Night Kingdom do have some kind of awareness and consciousness, and tend to degrade over time due to their proximity to the abyss - though Mavuika seems to have been spared that latter part.
Fairly recently she was resurrected and resumed the mantle of Pyro Archon for the sake of leading the final battle against the Abyss invasion into Natlan, putting into motion the plans she and her original band of friends started 500 years ago.
Also the obsidian feather you were wondering about near the end is an Ancient Name - a physical manifestation and conduit of an ancient hero's name and legend; In this case, it's labeled "Shujaa" which means Hero in Swahili - and we don't know yet who that name belongs to, as we've seen Mavuika's ancient name already and it's "Kiongozi", or Leader.
I love this trailer ❤ thanks for reacting early
what a great video Philip!
Thank you my love ⚔️🖤
Natlan has caught me off guard nonstop. But this is the welcoming one. Totally not expecting a full AMV for Mavuika's trailer.
Edit: I just realized that this AMV are basically sequel to her short animation.
YEAH MAVUIKAS MARKETING THE BEST CUZ IT IS LIKE A PUZZLE
Something I haven't see people talk about is how at the end mic turns into a flaming baton. The characters besides her are all the inheritors of the past heroes' names so the baton has been passed to a new generation.
6:27 "I never will let you go" is a call back to Honkai impact cinematic where Himeko died trying to save Kiana
2:41 Slide from Akira
i would love if you cover her teaser aswell. it adds a lot to her backstory and fill in some gaps from the animated short.
as for what happened to mavuika after 500 years: she was reborn/reincarnated/spawned (the game is never too clear on the specifics of how she appeared in the present) relatively recently (the game happens about 505 to years from that event). natlan being the place with the weakest defenses (to not make it too complicated) has been at war against the abyss all this time and the motto of natlan is "we stand together" which is sorta mirrored in the music band.
this war is addressed in the main quest, but without going into too much details, mavuika now HAS to fight a one on one against the big bad evil guy (which is actually gonna be a 2 on 1 cuz traveller), therefore the feeling of her making a decision in the beginning of the video
Traveler is not here because Traveler in lore is supposed to be an outsider entity.
He is supposed to be an observer of all the events that take place (An witness if you will).
Even if he doesn't exist, All events that take place will take place.
The traveler just makes it more Easy? But yeah he is just an Outsider observer.
So in Sunset we saw Mavuika fight alongside heroes from 6 tribes. Before the animated short 2 of the warriors fell in battle from two of the tribes. The characters in Mavuika’s trailer are the current heroes of the 6 tribes and currently hold those deceased heroes’ ancient names. In the prophecy the pyro archon (Mavuika) will fight the abyss with the heroes of each of the 6 tribes the ones in this trailer alongside the traveller because we’re the main character and of course we’re involved :))
Yes, please also cover her teaser! There might not be a lot of content packed into it, but I think it will give you more insight into the character if you want to understand her and her backstory better!
I love how all the characters try to grab the flame but malvuika is the only one who grabs it bc she is the archon and the leader
Yes absolutely cover the Mavuika Teaser - really helps fill in some gaps!
I have a fan made genshin animation recommendation
"stairway to heaven"
its an analogue horror type animation and it would be amazing if you reacted to it
This is the best archon trailer about not just her but nathlan and her people
Hearing the singer go from MHA to Marvel Rivals and now to genshin, she's everywhere for me lol
Thank you for your reaction ! This trailer is really dope !
I think you might have missed Kinich, Mualani and Ororon character presentation. The character playing the drum don't have a trailer yet.
It's not related to Natlan but I would also recommand a semi-official video called "Moonlight bamboo forest " (or "Forêt de Bamboo au clair de lune" 12:38 min long) that was specialy commissioned by Hoyofair to the French animation studio Passion Paris. It's the animated version of a a book that we can read in game i Genshin and it's a beautiful piece of art.
A thorough and fast review! Also regarding other Hoyoverse stuff, they release Fugue's teaser and trailer in Honkai Star Rail (which I would love if you reacted to). Also on a separate note, I don't think you ever reacted to Honkai 3rd's "Lament of the Fallen" animation and I think your insight would be really awesome. Thanks for the great content!
Don't recall if you've watched the Honkai Impact 3rd videos, but "I never will let you go" is a reference to the HI3 video Final Lesson and the song in that video. Mavuika looks very, very similar to Himeko in HI3, same as Ei looks like Mei from HI3, and Unknown Goddess looks like Kiana from HI3.
This might be the best trailer They ever make yet tbh, the last time I like a song They make was Robin performance in the end of Penacony, this feels as good if not better than that
I learnt the term "diegetic" today. Thank you sir.
This is a stretch but I feel like they chose to do this music video style because HI3 always has music with vocals and Mavuika looks very similar to Himeko. It’s lowkey a homage to Hoyo’s beloved character in the entire Hoyoverse
She did the famous akira bike slide at 2:41
The end of Natlan's story will be EPIC.
Stand With Mavuika
Yes you should definitely watch her teaser as it's tied in to another vid you covered
oh wow the timing, was surprised by the direction of this trailer being kind of like an AMV, but its not totally unwelcome!
edit: Also learning its supposed to be mavuika singing makes it even more enjoyable, and the song is a bangerr
Genshin is cooking with this fire❤🎉
There's even an Akira slide in this video
I like how vow of blazing blood is like an optimistic counter to Furina's
Much more somber La Vagulette
THAT'S FAST 😮
It's mostly just Trailer to promote character like Xilonen and others; Teasers more for lore purpose
MAVUIKAAA!!!! 🔥🔥🔥
08:06 you missed ororon's - Kinich's - Mulani's and kachina's Trailers
Yeah, you missed Ororon's trailer. Hope u would do that!
Wow, I saw a reference to "Akira" katsuhiro otomo!
Always love your stuff, sir. I recommend "Nameless Faces OP" from Star Rail, you might enjoy it and the way it's put together.
Pls make a mavuika teaser video too
Will you react to carlotta's resonator showcase from wuwa?
+1 Carlotta's pure cinema!
Bruh reacted to PEAK CINEMA 🔥🔥
Edit: By the way Happy New Year Guys 🎉🎉
El opening de natlan 🔥🔆
You should react to Carlotta's showcase wuthering waves
Fire 🔥❤🔥🔥
You should watch and react at Fatui Harbinger: stairway to heaven from Kieru. It was presented at Hoyofair a couple of days ago. It's a really cool analog horror fan film of II Dottore. th-cam.com/video/cf80lpl9AyU/w-d-xo.htmlsi=w5Z5vHcT__8Pi-Tl

honestly from a musical perspective this one felt like a massive L to me. Like dont get me wrong its really well done, and i think it would have made a fantastic animated short, but this isnt a demo. Genshin traditionally ties their demo music in really well to the video itself, as well as having some sort of musical cue when the burst is, some pretty major dynamic range, etc; but this felt like a showcase to show that they got to work with Chrissy Costanza much more than a showcase for mavuika. I'm beginning to feel that they stopped calling them demos specifically so they could get away with doing something like this. Love the video, wish we got something else as her trailer
I love that they changed from demos to trailers tbh, it gives them way more freedom to make different things.
And I personally love this trailer, it is a song from Mavuika to all Natlan warriors saying "I'm here with you, follow me and we'll seize victory together". Which is the whole Mavuika character, you know, being the leader who is willing to sacrifice everything to lead her people to victory, and that's not just my interpretation, everything, from in-game dialog, her drip marketing, and even her ancient name refers to that aspect of her person.
Honestly each time she appeared on screen she always had a sick guitar riff, and they didn't go for metal 😭 It would have hit so hard with the power she's supposed to have. Like I still love this music, it's still a banger, but there was such an obvious banger they could have made while keeping the trailer about her fighting abilities, I don't know how to feel honestly
@@Snow_therealone yeah like I'm not upset about it existing, like it's a good piece of media, it's just really not what I was expecting from her trailer
I mean but the same could be said for Robin from HSR right? It was just a music video in the end but it still showcases what the character is all about, which in my opinion is the point of the trailers. I really love that you can feel that the Hoyo creators had fun creating this 👍
@_HuaCheng I think the major difference between this and that (as well as xilonen) are Robin and Xilonen are designed around music. This was the first time she's ever been shown to have a connection to music. They didn't shape the trailer to the character, they shaped the character to the trailer
