The Music In this Demo Means One Thing: Redemption for Scaramouche

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 4 ธ.ค. 2022
- As we get to know the Wanderer. Something is different here. There is a confidence, there isn't rage like we've heard in the battle theme or the teaser. There is....Hope...Redemption? Peace? Self-assuredness? Interesting stuff, personally.

Scaramouche, Kunikuzushi or The Wanderer, no matter what his name is he's a really well written character. Whether or not he redeemed himself, He finally found a purpose in life after living for centuries, its a refreshing perspective to see.
And it's more worth it considering he Thought his only purpose was to have a gnosis, to be a god.
Now he said: "F*ck the fatui, f*ck you, f*ck gnosis', I'm gonna be with me, myself and I"
He understood that his purpose is to love himself
@@morafernandez5267 maybe he will find something to call his own
Tartagalia, childe or Ajax.
Hmmm why they both can’t be well together…
@@II_Capitano each Harbinger has 3 names to describe them
Ajax's Harbinger name is Tartaglia and his Title is Childe
Rosalyne's Harbinger name, La Signora and her Title, The Fair Lady
Scaramouche didn't have a real name, So he is just Scaramouche, The Balladeer
saying"just as useless alive or dead"...but he still let them alive. i think thats the kindness of wanderer
This is just a theory, but thinking about it now, could it be reflecting his own experience?
I don't recall it being precisely stated in the game, that's why it's up to theory. But when Raiden saw his emotions, she didn't choose to destroy him, but rather let him go, possibly to grant him freedom. So maybe he remembers and chooses to let others live likewise.
@@piterrospl9512 it didn't happen like that so probably not XD
@@pau7886 why not? While he may have interpreted it that way, resulting in his hatred and future actions, it might as well have been a misunderstanding.
Like I mentioned, Raiden did throw him out, but in pursuit of her goal, she would be better off just destroying him. Instead, she let him live his own life. I think there was a line regarding other puppets too, which she destroyed instead.
So, I just checked, and quoting Character Story 2: "Ei conducted countless experiments to this effect, discarded a great many failed products", which could imply that other ones were destroyed.
@@pau7886 also she gave him a paper for his safety
@@koukikrak6467 I think you're talking about the feather that symbolised his connection to the shogun, which had the purpose of allowing him access to Ei/Shogun if he had to reach out? (Sadly, it did not completely serve its purpose as Ei was in her plane, the Shogun being unaware of his existence and Yae being the only one who tried to help except Dottore as Escher sent that help back, causing Kabuki to think Yae tricked him)
The “Broody music” is actually Ominous Fandango of which has been used as his theme from back when he was the balladeer. It’s kinda like his past self peaked out for a bit before fading back out.
*SPOILER ALERT FOR STORY AND WANDERER* the way I view it, he still has that very calloused, angry, hateful personality that he always has from his past even in this "new" version of himself. He just hates a different set of people now than he did when he was the balladeer. So its very fitting that he keeps the same negative, hateful, ominous theme but has it in the background as more of a demon on his shoulder type of thing. Either way, the consequences and anger from his past are still there (Ei tossing him aside, being betrayed, and his friends all dying), he just knows the truth of the matter and who was truly at fault. He's still a ruthless, hateful person; just towards the "villains" this time around
@@jason.s.music.you basically puts the memories and personality of scara into the empty shell known as wanderer
Indeed, it seems that he starts out as more, if not light-hearted, then lighter not as fully committed to the fight and the anger. He started out with a more annoyed/stop-pestering-me mindset, then as he fought seemed to leak back into his original harbinger mindset of callous heartless arrogance. I think when paired with the video, both the music and the video transmit that very well. You see him go from making fun of the fatui to being determined to absolutely crush them. You can see how he relapses even if he doesn’t return all the way to who he was. The fight and the rage pull him back.
very intersting
first - also Im gonna whale the hell out of these banners. I spent 20 minutes making chapters and didn't push save. I'll do it another time.
Ok you won me over now im even bigger of a fan lmao
I'd like to note here for everyone - still no chapters
I think my favorite part is that they kept the whispers/background voices from his boss battle for his theme. I feel like that's a really interesting thematic choice, especially when you compare, for instance, the differences between tartaglia's character theme and boss theme. Hoyo-mix truly always does such an incredible job conveying characters through the music alone. ❤️
I really like how the whispering feels more neutered this time, drowned behind the inazuma song, like a dark side of him trying to free itself during the exhilaration of battle. In the the boss music it was the inazuma style track that resurfaced at times like nostalgia, while the voices, his voice, and the Fatui chants were filling up the whole atmosphere.
The roles have been reversed and he's more in control of himself now.
@@KragV That's an interesting perspective, thanks for pointing that out.
Hold on-- there are whispers on his boss theme too?
@@min.4044 Not in the boss theme (unless I didn't hear it properly), I meant the background whispers in this song that reflect the background voices (singing and chanting) in his boss theme.
@@tangerinewings wait what do you mean by it reflecting the boss fight theme?
I really like how they used hints of the Raiden Shoguns theme. This is basically a faster more masculine and darker version of her theme while simultaneously being more upbeat
Raiden: "Jeez, kids these days. "
I think this is a different leitmotif. Raiden's theme can be heard a lot throughout Narukami island (especially in Ritou) while Scaramouche's leitmotif is (I think) the one from Yashiori island (i.e. "a hollowed skull", I'm sure you've heard it if you've ever farmed EoSF/SR)
this is the tatarasuna leitmotif.
@@xxsonata wait, Tataratsuna? I'm pretty sure it's played on Yashiori island, no? Maybe it's on both? I haven't been to Tataratsuna in months...
Idk but i feel like Ei's theme's still faster and more... brutal? Whenever I hear Ei's theme, I always picture her slaughtering gods during the archon war. Meanwhile, I agree that Scara's is darker and... heavier? But definitely not faster than lightning herself.
scaramouche isn't a fan of dango
but he do the fandango
You too are what the internet comment sections need
Ei: how dare you! >:(
hes not frightened by thunderbolt and lightning either, just a little bit disturbed
And he sure has killed at least a man, if not more
I just like how his ost sounds similar to Raiden’s but it flows as smooth as the breeze now because he’s free.
The symbolisms in the video like the bird following him, the sound of thunder, and the Fatui standing in his way was always a chip on his shoulder. But he brushes it all off and moves on with his endless journey.
Indeed. It seems like a lot of people have forgotten that THAT bird is prominent with Ei and Yae as well. xD Those idle animations lol
Scara is anemo, while raiden is electro, damn it's really cool to listen the anemo remix of raiden theme
@@jadeanime Really? Because I binged a whole bunch of reactions to this video yesterday and almost everybody was like, "wait....is that the bird from Ei and Yae's idles????!" and here's me going, "wait it was?" because I don't have either Ei or Yae, lol.
@@anaplaysstuff Maybe that was the difference xD I was on forums lol Clearly, the vid peeps have been paying more attention! LOL
I LOVE that the bird is present in Raiden's idle animation, Yae Miko's idle animation and now in Wanderer's demo. Raiden lets the bird rest on her hand, allowing it to fly away. Miko lures in the bird and kills it, and the Wanderer gives the bird shelter (although he seems to be reluctant about it at first), before shooing it away, being like "ok, you gotta go now"
Personally I think Wanderer softened, even if only slightly. Scaramouche would've killed them without batting an eye imo. Also, at the end, when the video regains that old style movie quality, I think he's also speaking about himself when he says "I suggest you find your own way."
I think this is not so much as being redeemed, but more of finally choosing his own path and being comfortable in his own skin.
The whispering in his demo music caught me off guard SO MUCH. He’s still got that touch of divinity added to him. The elegance of the music before the beat drop reminds me of Ayaka’s theme, and the lone shakuhachi reminds me of Kazuha’s theme.
I really hope Scaramouche becomes happier after his archon quest.
Small detail: when the screen show Scaramouche's eyes got cover,i think it was a reference at reality. In Japan when you took a picture of someone relate to the story or a news,they got a black line cover thier eyes to protect thier identity.
Not only that, but it's a call to the lore and what happened to Scaramouche.
9:41 because of course they had to make it look like scaramouche is stepping on people ❤️
Not that anyone's complaining hehe
@@10Caramella definitely not ;3
@@10Caramella frr
things that iv noticed about the music in this character demo
6:20 the woodwind instrument at the start sounds really similar to the one in kazuha's character demo, and from what I know scara is supposed to be a foil of kazuha and vice versa
7:47 the music starting from there is playing the same motif as the emotional part in scara's battle theme
9:57 the music here sounds a lot like "ominous fandango" the music we hear in the cutscene where scaramouche is first revealed to be a harbinger, they both also include the fatui leitmotif
@ssh I know I'm NOT calling him wanderer. He is Scara or Scaramouche to me and always will be lmao
9:57 is one of scaramouche's theme "ominous fandango", not a fatui letimotif!
@@yukuakikun oh yeah it sounds pretty much the same as ominous fandango but the leitmotif thats playing in ominous fandango is actually the fatui leitmotif so ig we're both right?
im gonna correct the comment anyway though
@@AshXiao1 then you're ignoring what Genshin and Patrick himself have said. Kept correcting Sarah the entire live. You're essentially deadnaming him. But cool. He's no longer going by Scaramouche.
@@Orion_TheyThem Don't care. I call tartaglia Tart. Literally do not care what u or anybody says lmao. Can't make me call them anything other than what I want to. 🤣
I hated him, I felt conflicted, I felt bad, I sympathized, I realized he's just one lost being, he needs someone to be with him, or reassure that he's not alone and he doesn't have to be alone.. he's really really interesting and no matter what else might say. I love his character so much. I am so glad that I have him. No regrets.
Samee
i didnt know i needed him haahhaha
@@DarKnight-qu4kx aww how's your Wanderer now?
The whispers beneath the melody, He's on his way to return to the serenity of Inazuma, where he was "born," but the whispers of the past can't be unheard or silenced. The Fatui theme is still faintly there at the end.
At first I was doubting, and kinda getting bored but now I believe that he doesn't only help us to understand the music but he forces us to feel the music every time we hear. I want to thank you for always imparting knowledge, but this time I want to thank you for making me feel the emotions behind music and love it more.😇
That is indeed what the point of listening to it out of context is. 🙏
Actually, I think thats because some of us naturally acting sceptical, escpecially with this channel style of naming video title.... "Opera singer reacts" ......,,, Lol thats very cliche for clickbaiting video out there... But turns out its my routine to turn this channel for every genshin video, lol
Literally he makes me so hyped and enthusiastic about all the music he listens to
Why the Fatui didn't recognize him is likely due to the fact he wanders the world a lot when he was with them, and he doesn't have a lot of followers. So it's likely foot soldier members of the Fatui don't recognize him because they have not met him before
And obviously because his new getup, and let alone even the way he carries himself now. He's obviously still him but he even holds himself differently now even if only in a subtle way
No that is not the reason. But telling you would be a spoiler soooo.... Just play the new quest when the update comes.
@@yubelia saying this is already implying something which is a spoiler in it of itself so instead of saying something because of your leak knowledge just dont say anything until the actual quest is out
@@sepheverett1916 this has nothing to do with leaks. We know what nahida did with Irminsul. In the genshin livestream we saw that scaramouche and the traveler are going into Irminsul. and you have his character teaser where he said he wished he was not born at all. You don't need leaks to know what is going on.
@@yubelia LEAK WARNING!
In his line dialogue we hear him say, "People still have their misgivings about me, I'd like to see them step up to fight me." and "Pierro still wants something from me." I know what you're implying and it doesn't make sense if these lines exist.
I swear, on day Marco might just be a Scara expert with how in depth his analysis based off music alone
Marco will have a field day with Faruzan’s demo that was a wild demo
Faruzan theme slaps ngl
Scara’s demo reminds me of Raiden & Ayaka’s demo . It’s has theatrical style & Japanese letter popping out with the face view camera cutscene . It’s felt good especially around the burst
The ost that sounds in the first seconds is not only from Inazuma but also belongs to Kazuha's ost 👀
Dammit now I NEED to check!
I noticed that too. I hope we'll see some of their interaction in game 👀
@@shuzelice you apparently have to completely Kazuha's story quest in order to play the new Archon quest so they are definitely connected in someway
@@shuzelice the fact you need Kazuha's story quest done to play 3.3 quest gives me so much hope (or hopium?) you have no idea
this is pure speculation and has nothing to do with his plot, just his psychology ig or character analysis, but:
when scaramouche says "just as useless alive or dead," I actually think this sounds like him using his old violent persona as a mask in a way. just moments before in the video, we saw him say "I look forward to [dying a thousand deaths, as you say]. It's a shame you won't be around to see it" implying he's about to kill the Fatui. then he chooses to walk away and spare them - "you're just as useless alive or dead" or "you aren't worth killing" is still choosing not to take a life. the bird following him, perching on his hat and shoulder, also kind of signals a newfound kindness or appreciation for human life, to me.
he's such a fascinating character and I cannot wait to pull for him! lovely analysis and video as always
I've been so excited for you to react to this video since the second it came out because Scaramouche's demo music is absolutely my favorite demo music at the moment. The whispered latin music? The remix of his boss music? God it's FANTASTIC.
Also, I'm personally happy that he doesn't seem redeemed. I don't want Scaramouche to be redeemed. I'm very sad over his backstory, but I love him because he's a brat, and I'm glad he's still a brat. I'm glad he doesn't seem to be with us because he wants to be good specifically.
I didn't realize you could hear the whispered chants from his boss theme in the background
I''m happy to see another person who appreciates Scaramouche and can truly understand him. Most people see him as just an evil brat who deserves no redemption and that saddens me.
What most people don't see is that Scaramouche didn't choose to take a dark path in life, he was forced to. For him it was either perish under the pressure or become a stronger person and make others perish instead.
The "Inazuma" parts sound a bit like Kazuha's demo's theme too while --> the dubsteppy-ish parts remind me of Raiden Shogun's demo
It's crazy how much you understand Scaramouche just from his music!
Sounds like his theme is based on “Soul of Soulless Conditions” that plays on Kannazuka Island in Inazuma. That is a very interesting detail as he spent some time there before joining the Fatui
never have I seen so much emotion expressed in under 10 seconds. my man went from confusion, to dancing and vibing, to an abrupt stop and shock XD
This demo takes place at some point after the post-Sumeru interlude chapter (which comes out in less than 24 hours), so we do not yet know the specifics of Scaramouche->Wanderer transition, but the way I see it, he upgraded from "slapping people in the face for speaking out of turn" to "putting in the effort to ignore those which annoy him, but if they don't get the damn hint, whatever happens next is fair game", and it's exactly what I've been hoping for 🙏 He's not a nice and pleasant person and probably won't ever be (just check any of his voicelines when you get him :D), but now he seems to have less internal turmoil and self-hatred.
Speaking of, that's what the whispers reminded me of: you know how with anxiety/depression/something other of that kind your head gets really noisy, but sometimes you get decent days when the noise simmers down to background ambience? It's still there, and probably will be in one way or another, but you don't feel it so acutely.
I like how on the begining and end video gets a shift in colors. So first it's so bland gives up Kurosawa vibe and when the bit drops gamma goes up. Chanting is amazing and I love his Japanese voice, it's so unique. Pulling for him as well, he's just so cutely evil.
Someone mentioned this that it was a nice touch by them with the bird. Like raiden shogun's idle animation letting the bird go (her letting go scaramouche), miko lures the bird then ate it (wanted to kill scaramouche instead of letting him go)
Another just phenomenal trailer by Hoyo, everything they do related to Scaramouche is fantastic and i want to get him more and more with each new content/story drop. But the music and visuals really are amazing here, I love so many similarities to previous connected characters like Kazuha and Raiden, and him still being as brutal as ever, now it's just targeted towards people that kind of deserve it. The EDM trap music with Inazuma themes just like his boss music and the whispering in the background, and dark synth elements on the second part just give me so much joy, glad we finally get him after 2 years of patience. And I'm excited about what fatui they're building up next, Dottore seems plausible for Fontaine since he's currently the only one with much screentime in game, but there could very well be a new one there as well and i'm hyped, maybe we'll see one teased in an event just like Scara was fingers crossed
What I find interesting about that darker riff that you were talking about (a hint at his Harbinger theme) as he is walking past the defeated Fatui is thinking about it in combination with his dialogue. Like, it's language couched in his usual "humans are worthless" attitude, but his actions don't really match - he knows how Fatui operate, and these ones have even slighted and attacked him, he makes an example of them, and then...? He lets them go?? Yeah, he does, because they've made their mistakes and they should learn from it, and ain't that a whole ass metaphor for what Wanderer is going through rn. He's trying to learn and come to terms with himself, and it's awesome to see even in these tiny character moments.
That drop was so good. The part where his name card was revealed, you hear that kind of slowed down motif from him and then the whispers from the background
9:21 onward really reminds me of Raiden Shogun's own Demo from the camera play as well
to me his theme is hypnotysing also i really like the little details like a littel bell sound in his elemental burst it's so pretty-
I think that last bit of ominous fandango at the end, is showing that while The Wanderer is a person who’s reflected on his past and what he’s done, he hasn’t changed his personality.
He’s still the arrogant asshole we genshin players know and love.
Your reaction at 2:28 is basically everyone I know that has experienced that demo for the first time.
Im so glad you made an analysis on his demo, I was really looking forward to it and I thank you Marco.
Its very interesting you say its almost "jazz" but its edm jazz, because that is exactly the same thing I was thinking yet I can not pin point the actual genre (other than like trap-like beat).
Beside that Im very happy we are getting this much content and lore about him not just through in-game lore but musically, how some parts feel similar to Raiden Shogun, the whispers/chanting in the background on the beat drop etc.
One of the most intriguing characters in the game for sure.
I'll never get sick of re-watching your scara vids 😭💜
since music is all about interpretaion i ll give mine:
For me the music made me feel like there were a lot of voices speaking to Scaramouche(which can also symbol depression as some forms of depresison come along with voices) from his past and him finally rising above them and being able to ignore them....aka slowly learning to let go of his past pain and not being defined and lead anymore by it.
I love your little obligatory shoulder waggle any time the edm comes in xD
When the whispers hit... O.O
Why the Fatui didn't recognise him? I think it's more or less like the military irl. You can know the names and ranks of people. But sometimes it just slipped your mind when they are actually in front of you, in different clothes. And in lore, he is the most hated Harbingers, with least number of followers too. So might be because of that.
The amount of secrets, stories and easter eggs about scaramouch are many, in game and outside, since the beginning we ve been waiting to meet him like this.
And unlike other characters, he knows many secrets to this world, so I expect we gonna learn some choking truth.
Really looking forward to the story update on how he ends up reformed like this since it's clear he's not a bad guy anymore but he's still got the attitude and pride
as a literal hat man, i have all the support in the world for him becoming playable and i couldn't be more excited. that trailer truly showed like, what his redemption arc looks like and i love how the music is so reminiscent of his past, both from his other boss themes and the raiden shogun but its so different now, it has an air of tranquility and grace showing how much he's changed, although his cold and calculating attitude still shows
For some reason, I want to hear Scaramouche battle theme together with Wanderer's theme.
Btw, if you're confused why Scaramouche isn't Fatui - I guess that's because he wants to forget about the Fatui, and everything, and find his own way in life.
Rewatching it, and the thing I love is how the bit you describe as bouncy and having playful energy (8:36) is the very same one that's played on the flute in his boss battle, and the one that made me feel the most heartbreak :D I love that we got to hear his boss music first and his demo music later, because if the order was the opposite, and we had time to get acquainted with the calmer, playful version, and then got the hurt & regretful edition, it would hit so much harder :D
Yae and Raiden Ei - both have that same bird in their iddle animation, that is flying to Scaramouche at the beginning. Also those negative-film parts are resembling Raiden Ei's original trailer too.
The Wanderer has voice lines for each of the harbingers and their names in relation to the characters or tropes of comedia del arte. I thought you'd find that interesting once you get him :D
These videos are a huge inspiration for me. I've always wanted to get into composing and making music (specifically for my own characters), but aside from reading basic sheet music I know almost nothing about music theory. Watching you analyze some of my favorite video game songs and reveal the composing techniques / tricks used in them has been a huge inspiration to me, to the point where I finally started trying to compose my first song.
Get it!!
I was waiting for this! The moment the demo dropped and I heard the music I knew I had to see how Marco reacts and dissects this. One thing I love is how the voices didn’t go away, but now have a different vibe to them
You’ve blessed us again after hearing the demo your the one person I needed to listen to this. Keep up the amazing work
omg, im just fascinating to see your way to react things, give me new visions, lv it
cant wait till you get to this part of the story! and good luck on your scara pulls!! i cant wait till he comes out, and i also cant wait for these osts to drop.
The echoing/whispering in the background reminds me a bit of a swiss rap band (maybe not swiss specifically but German?). It's quite cool.
I come from the future now I know that your description about Scaramuche is precise
The drop and the visuals are so good
Scara's demo is one of the darker ones for sure ( not like : YEA POWAA!!) ,as you say , He's confident , though going all out, he still spares the Fatui here .
I love the whispering chanting , so hypnotic ! Any idea what they are saying ? Otherwise I cannot unhear "Ice, Ice, Cold ~ "
Great Video man. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I WAS WAITING FOR THIS
HEHEEHEHE
THANKS, MARCO!
I will note one thing from an event way back in 1.1 when Scaramouche was first introduced, he was not above threatening his subordinates, just to give you an idea of some of his personality that you can no longer experience.
i knew you'd love it!
Early! I’ve been waiting for this ever since his demo was released!
you have absolutely NO IDEA how excited I am to see you finally get to Sumeru!! You'll love the soundtrack there, especially the desert soundtracks. I got so much chills going through Sumeru's archon quest and I think you'll have so much fun going through it too :] so fun to see your reactions and your thoughts on different aspects of the game!
Just wanted to say you have a really good fit today! Love the sweater look with the glasses - great content as always 👍🏼
the fatui members don't recognise scaramouche because many lowly members have never seen the faces of the harbingers, at least from what i've heard.
love the video, marco!
IM SO GLAD YOU'RE REACTING TO HIS DEMO TOO YAYS
"Musically that's preeetty not very nice"
That's because he's still not very nice LMAO
But he's very interesting, and that music at the end is his "Fatui theme" if you will, called "The Ominous Fandango", which could be a hint towards his attitude not changing much regardless of his outlook
There's also a hint of the Tatarasuna (an island in Inazuma) theme in his music as well I believe (unless it was in the trailer for 3.3, can't remember) but this is very important because of his backstory which we'll find out about soon
As for the Fatui not recognizing him, we'll probably find out why that is once 3.3 comes out! Which actually is gonna happen in Les than 24 hours from now I believe
The story will explain everything
Imagine: when 3.3 goes live, he goes live, pulls, gets wanderer after paying a bit into the game, then speedruns frienshiping him to listen to what he says and read his story. I can definitely imagine that xd
I love your analyses so much!! You always manage to make me feel the music and appreciate what I'm listening to even more. His demo is so amazing, I love it so much. The music was incredible as always, that whispering and the beat drop make me go insane.
I'm so excited to pull for Wanderer, he's so cool. I really love him. He's so interesting and well written. too bad I can't open Genshin right now.
I was really excited to see your interpretation from the music in this demo. I think you are spot on. I think that The Wanderer is the new path that he is choosing to walk, but we catch glimpses of Scaramouche as we’ve come to know him. His character is transforming, but slowly.
I can’t wait to see where Hoyo take his character!
I'm lucky you're my fav reaction channel + you like scara and you make many videos related to him so it's a win win for me.
nice sweater. also i’m glad you keep giving these musical insights-i love the genshin soundtrack and past the prologue it’s improved a lot (funding and interest etc contributing at least partially to the rise in quality, i’m sure).
Lol 2:29 your reaction. I wasn't expecting your unexpectedness
And I really love the loud whispers for some reason
"why don't fatui recognize scaramouche?"
those who haven't finished the archon quest: 🙂🙂🙂
those who have: 😢😢😢
I really like how they did a call back to the ominous fandango. This character has definitely grown on me. Can’t wait to see what’s in store for him in the future.
I love Scaramouche so I'm always happy when there's more Scara content 🥰
Idk if you've met him in the story yet, but I can't wait to watch your future Genshin streams to see your reaction either way 💜
Your sweater does look very comfy
LMAO when the first beat hit that was SO ME- I became a scara fan ever since that beat fr
I really like how this demo tell the story of all of the influential places that the wanderer had before just ending on his motif.
Love love love it
A very _insightful_ Demo trailer, I dare say. Hints and bits of everything from his past and for the upcoming future. Very masterfully done!
Sadly, some people find this Demo-trailer _mid_ because it didn't resonate with them. I don't want to go in details, but I will say, people tend to avoid the bigger picture that is in front of them or pretend it doesn't exist.
But I loved the analysis as always. Thank you! 🙏
Loved your reaction as usual! You should react to Faruzan’s demo trailer that just released too! Musically its like the complete opposite to Scaramouche’s/Wanderer’s demo, which I’m sure you’d enjoy to react to 😁
2:28 my exact reaction too😂 dude what is that demonic chanting??? so cool!!😂
the beginning of scaras theme is very very similar to the beginning of kazuhas demo theme !!! very interesting considering their lore
Personally for me, the song is great and I love the essence of pursuing redemption that can be heard throughout it. The beginning sounds very hopeful and bright, and its like he's embraced this new version of himself and is willing to forgive himself, and to move forward. The reminder of who he was at the end is still a bit unsettling but, after all, change doesn't happen overnight. Great analysis too Marco, I really enjoy your perspicacity when it comes to music and especially these theme songs.
7:08 he basically betrayed them when he took the gnosis for himself. His og mission was to bring the gnosis back to The Tsaritsa. (I think)
Sumeru Archon quest is where you find the answers to all the questions you have about him. I cannot wait for you to get there and experience it. Hoyoverse truly did it masterfully! ^^
I love at 9:48-9:50 you see a glimpse of his past, as during this little scene you see Raiden Shogun.
I love how he never forgets where he's coming from, I remember the first time I heard of him and friends said he was from Inazuma while my first reaction to that was "what's an Inazuma" but it's super interesting because all the other harbingers that aren't native to Snezhnaya adopted a lot from it visually (Dottore and Signora so far)
You will understand the weird glitchy stuff and some inconsistencies once you catch up to Sumeru content. Can't wait for you to continue streaming Genshin Impact :D
The Scaramouche discussion, the scargument 🤔
Scaramouche OSTs in general are definitely the most unique I've heard from Genshin yet, his affiliation with Inazuma, Fatui and now Sumeru really makes for a very unique collection. Also the bird in his Demo is, whether intentional or not, a reference to both Raiden and Yae's Demo and reflects their own character with how they treat the bird respectively.
As a person who initially was not a fan of Scaramouche (due to his deeds, not as a 'bad' character) I am hopeful that Hoyo can give him a decent redemption story.
Man, knowing what we know now about what ends up happening to Scaramouche, or the wanderer, makes me love this teaser more and more. The music. Amazing. It does feel very resolute and confident, but not in the sort of sad way his theme has been shown before. It’s more like he’s very sure of his current path now. That he knows it’s right. Yet that chanting, and that sort of call back to his other themes at the end that it’s not like he’s had a major character change either. The music still feels sort of sadistic and mischievous. Absolutely love it. Also the visuals. The glitching feels very out of place unless you know what happens to him, but then it just feels perfect. The teaser almost displays it as almost like reality glitching around him. Just absolutely perfect, seriously.
well the thing is that apparently his existence was removed from the irminsul
meaning no one remembers him
it was said in the trailer: "From this day forth, 'Balladeer' and 'Kabukimono' will cease to exist"
dude, you are so cool hahaha ♡
