Welcome to my first video deep diving into the music of Genshin Impact. The game has a TON of music, 20+ albums and 900+ individual songs. So instead of cherry picking my personal favorites, I chose to feature the entire first album from the soundtrack called "The Wind and The Star Traveler".
Will I do this "full album" deep dive again? It will depend on you and your reception. I look forward to hearing from you!

Hey Genshin music fans, which Genshin pieces should I do next?
While maybe not all at once I would love to see your reaction to the multiple fighting themes in each region as well as boss themes. Or maybe a video for each region?
The music from the Sumeru region in the game is pretty great!
Every region main theme
Rhapsodia Roscida and Polumnia Omnia, in that order. One of the most incredible boss themes ive ever heard from a videogame. Highly regarded as Yu-Peng Chens grand opus before he left hoyomix.
Other amazing themes:
-Symphony of boreal wind and Die Mittsommernacht-Fantasie (germany)
-Fontaine region theme and Virelia des marees (France)
-Inazuma region theme, Overlord of the Thunderstorm and Thunderings of the Merciless (Japan)
-Sumeru region theme, Swirls of the stream and Across Dimming Asterisms (Middle east)
The brackets are just for context of the themes region of origin in the game. I could quite honestly list about 59 tracks but these are big standouts for me personally. Im more of a fan of the battle themes but there are also many amazing ambient tracks others can reccomend.
The boss themes perhaps
Hoyoverse is truly a music company that dabbles in making games.
and they are definitely better at making music XD
@@WastedTalent83 I agree lol. Genshin's graphics are nice and stylized but everything else is just kinda meh. But I heard Honkai Star Rail ironed out many flaws Genshin had
@@pacificnebula4899 yea but honkai its not open world, which is a no go for me.
@@pacificnebula4899 Plus, the fighting are really bad for a new generation game, i can't see amazing graphic and characters standing like morons getting hit and attacking back. it was cool on old games. but not now at least for me.
@@WastedTalent83 Bingo, it is just odd to see crazy good burst animations and then back to the monotonous quality animations that would be in a game 15 years ago. It genuinely makes me think that the gacha, gambling system selling these awesome characters with crazy good trailers is all done just to get the money needed to make these banger OSTs
The seven nations in the game are based on real countries, which is evident in the music of each of them. I hope to see your reaction to the others.
Yup
You know the soundtrack is good when you remember the exact scenery of the place where you hear it.
Can't wait for Inazuma and Sumeru music reacts! Those are just a treasure trove of musical delights
"A Storm, A Spire, and a Sanctum" is one of my favorite tracks in the game, and there's a special thing about this one, usually when you engage an enemy the battle theme for that region starts playing, but "A Storm, A Spire, and a Sanctum" is an exception, it keeps playing even in battle
Fun fact! The song Caelestinum Finale Termini uses a typewriter as an instrument
i can't wait until you listen to the music of the likes from "Port Ormos" and "Gilded Runners". they're absolute gems.
The way you talked about Caelestinum Finale Termini, Dvalin's battle theme, made me realize the picture it paints with the music. With the rapid string work mimicking the harsh winds swirling around, but the vocals are smooth and graceful, no different than the way Dvalin soars with ease through those rapid winds with his massive draconic size and control over said winds. The crescendo at the end lifting to a peak, almost like a screech. The roar of Dvalin before falling with a grand thump as portrayed by the only prominent percussion.
The lack of percussion throughout make the melody feel as if its floating, as if all the notes are swirled in a whirlwind before finally being "grounded" by the ending as he falls. Man I have not appreciated that theme enough.
We definitely need an expansion for Mondstadt... it's alr 4 years since the last expansion (Dragonspine)
At least one more Mondstadt expansion, Dornman Port, is definitely coming... When is hard to say though. Since it's in the north, sometime in the next year as preparation for Snezhnaya seems pretty likely.
Using typewriter for this was brilliant because it's not overpowering and blends so well with the rest of the instrumentation!
Honestly every single one of Hoyos games have top quality music
28:11 my heart, this was my first genshin OST i heard. 3 years and 3 months ago i can still remember. Downloading genshin took ages. So when it finally was on, it was past midnight. My dark chamber with the bright light from the log in screen. This song played and i sat there, headphones in, admiring this piece. My heart pounding in my chest if excitement wanting to open the game but I couldn’t. I had to listen, i sat there like that for at least 5 minutes.
the music of genshin impact is a masterpiece they added so much and the game isn't even complete
God damn, I always love their main theme, it's always good music to hear, whether it's a boss fight, background music and regional battle theme, they nailed it, you may hate the game but the music is opinion wise very good. As a player, this was one of the few reasons that made me love this game
Rite of Battle for me is the perfect music for begginers just learning about the game, the pacing, instruments, melody, climax... It is absolute perfection.
Always smile and enjoy the game to the fullest when that song plays, best theme in the game.
OMGGGGG, was waiting for you to finally react to genshin music. This game makes the best OSTs i swear. Can't wait for your reactions especially the Fatui Boss Themes.
I hope one day he reacts to Bill Brown's Lineage II OST, I think it doesn't compare to Genshin's sheer amount and inovation, but it's incredible as well.
Glad to see you begin Genshin's OST! Good luck listening to everything, it's absolutely huge and would take quite a while to go through all of it. Nevertheless, listening to everything would be worth it.
Can't wait to see you listen to the non-base regions and the Stellar Moments albums!
Oh, and Mondstadt's actual album is City of Winds and Idylls, The Wind and The Star Traveler is simply a compilation album to sell the game. Want to see you listen to certain tracks there. 👀
As someone who played Genshin for 3 years and recently had to drop it because of college and other things happening, the opening theme will ALWAYS give me chills, it's such a good reminder of easier times when I could spend all day dying from sheer cold without any worries 😭
would like to see a part 2 :D
"Very light-hearted fun"
The words of someone who hasn't done Fontaine yet xd
Cant wait to see your reactions to more genshin music! Love or hate the game, theyve definitely put a lot of good work into the music.
rite of battle mentioned lets gooo
It might be my favorite piece in the whole game, especially the climax at the end always makes me emotional
I love that piece, but it scared me when I realized I had to fight enemies for the first time. 😅Currently not so much; but just listening to it without those enemies makes so much more enjoyable!
Absolutely, totally, 100% agree. Sad that most don't see the artistry behind it. It's the quintessential "Genshin sound". Also the kind of music classical music snobs would nod approvingly to.
In Version 2.8 "Summer Fantasia" , they even used real baroque music. That is insane.
there is a lot of good ost in genshin like battle theme, boss theme but I specially recommended that you should check the each region main theme such as Inazuma, Sumeru, Fontaine especially Liyue.
I love genshin impact and its music and would LOVE to see you react to more of their albums. I'm sure you'll be in for a treat. Also, fantastic rendition at the end. It's exactly as you described. Like enjoying playing music with your friends.
i would love to see your reactions to the boss musics, like Signora, Azhdaha, Raiden Shogun or Tartaglia ❤✨️
Love your reaction. Nice to see someone doing genshin ost reaction. Many people have recommended the Boss themes. If I were to recommend some, I would recommend main theme for each nation and all battle themes including sub region. If only recommend one track, I would recommend Inevitable conflict.
Edit: Just saw that you will consider listening to the full album, nvm. Looking forward to it.
Genshin's OST will always hold a special place in my heart.
57:31 Oh thank you for saying that. That's what I've been telling everybody and none of them seemed to agree. I felt like I was going crazy. They always argue that other gacha games that feature mostly EDM music better composers.
Anyway, thank you so much for the video; I enjoyed it immensely. Also, glad to see that you enjoyed Rite of Battle. It's still my favorite battle OST of the soundtrack to date. It truly captures the zeitgeist of the game and there will never be another video game music with that level of mastery behind it. I look forward to seeing your next Genshin video!
Thank you so much! I appreciate it.
hope to see more genshin reactions from you
Howdy, Venti from VGM con. Been a fan since the Undertale era. Happy to meet you in person, happy to hear you perform live. Happy to see you diving into music from the game that inspired me to learn how to play a new instrument, try new foods, and, make a cool cosplay. Keep up the good work, and Ad Astra Abyssosque!
Nice! Glad to see you at VGMCON!
Yessssss! I was waiting for you to react to the Genshin soundtrack someday, personally I find it underrated outside of the game's own fandom.
If there's one thing I can assure you, it's that these Genshin music videos are usually very well received, even in the long run, so don't even worry about that.
And also that I really like this format of 1 video for each album, because honestly there is a LOT of music left for you, perfectly more than 35 hours, so you avoid getting tired and enjoy the style of each nation in the game, and with it, the style of each composer.
Love your video ❤ I always love Genshin's music, but since I'm not a professional, I only can enjoy and understand music on a subconcious level. I know the music is good, I can feel it, but don't acknowledge what exactly makes those pieces so amazing. Be able to hear commentaries from a producer helps me a lot. I learned something new today thanks to you, and definitely enjoys every seconds of the video. Thankyou so much and looking forward for your next Genshin videos ❤❤❤
Thank you for the kind words!
I'll be waiting impatiently for a second part ❤
I love this! Please do more! I am patiently looking forward to your next Genshin OST analysis.🎉
Love your reactions 😃, especially at Rite of Battle..
Subscribed 🤩
Your rendition of the main theme is also soo very beautiful. I can’t wait to see your reactions to the liyue, Sumeru, desert and fontaine melodies and honor them with your own piece. I will bet money on that they will be just are pleasing to the ears as any of the ost’s on the albums.
Thank you for this video! I've seen a lot of musician reacts to Genshin's OST, and your analyses are without doubt amongst the best of them. Looking forward to the future videos in this series!!
love the video this is one of my favorite games and the music plays a big part in that
Truthfully, I've never thought he would ever react to Genshin Impact music, but this was a pleasant surprised!
Thanks for the reaction with thoughtful comments! And your rendition is beatiful
Nice reaction! Can't wait for your next reaction!
One small problem with 1 album per episode: the first album is only 15 songs and about half an hour. The second album? 63 songs and nearly 2 hours. You might need to break subsequent albums into multiple videos.
Yeah
Love the breakdown and insight. Would love to see you more! :D
I think u should react to more boss battles, The music is just at whole another level there !!
I saw an entire hour of listening and commenting on Genshin music and I just HAVE to subscribe! It's rare that I see someone react to an entire album instead of selected songs, so I am so happy for this! I would absolutely love to hear your thoughts on all the other albums-- Especially as how unique they get with each new region! I am not versed in music, but I love learning through others! I've learned new terms watching your video and I hope I can internalize those and see if I can pick those out the next time I listen to more of Genshin's OST!
I know many people will suggest specific OSTs or region-based songs, but I would honestly love for you to listen to each of the albums wholly. It doesn't have to be one whole video, just a good chunk of them in the order that their albums put them on. It's just that there are also pieces in them that others may not get to hear that are hidden in the game or in limited-time-areas... I really hope you get to hear those hidden gems too. Plus, hearing an album lets you point which songs are derivative of another, in comparison to doing one OST at a time.
This community playlist has all the discs/albums that Genshin has put up in order that you can check for future references!:
th-cam.com/video/AALrH26HAmw/w-d-xo.html
I look forward to more of your videos and insights on these! Also your covers on the songs inbetween the commentary are so cool! I am looping the Genshin musicbox OSTs now too... they're so beautiful thank you for making them! In the future, would you consider picking making more Genshin music box that's in each region's themes?
Loved your reaction, enthusiasm and knowledge ! Instant follow ! Hope you'll react to more Genshin Impact !
Love to see comments in the professional perspective. Thanks for creating this reaction video.
Great video! I want more. But, for me, it is tough to say which pieces you should do next at this point. I love almost too many pieces in each album they released. I think you should keep doing it this way, doing each album. Doing it might get a little bit rough, though lol. Doing per region would be great too, but the pieces selection becomes hard if you only want to do a number of them. My little giddy ol' heart just want to enjoy one of my favorite vgm with some professional input.
Finallyyyyyyyy i have been waiting for a long time!
I almost never comment on videos and I'm not sure you'll see this, but I just had to thank you for the amazing video! It's great seeing anyone enjoy Genshin OST, especially someone knowledgeable. I've previously learned to play instruments and studied theory before, so it was fun learning all the music terms and composers/pieces I haven't heard of before. Really hope you keep going with the Genshin content (even if it takes a long time to go through everything lol), although I completely understand if you cannot. You'll definitely be in for a treat because the music just gets even MORE amazing beyond the starting regions, although Mondstadt is also fantastic! And as many others mentioned; boss themes are great too, but the overworld OSTs are just as amazing. Cheers!
Ah, I'm hoping to see more of these!
Wow, this is so enjoyable to watch, specially since the music is one of the top 3 reasons I keep playing Genshin. I can't wait for you to react to the rest of the Genshin ost, specially when we start to get to the wild ones heheh.
I need you to react to the entire music of Genshin Impact, I loved this video!❤❤❤❤❤
I would totally love to watch you listen to al the albums, especially when it comes to Sumeru 🥰
Loved your cover and the commentary on the stylistic choices.
Would love to see you cover full albums, but I understand if it's better for your channel to pick a few select tracks from each :)
Definitely leaning on selections tbh, this video was filmed way back in December 2023. I think that's too long for one TH-cam video to be produced lol
Fun fact: the "percussion" in Caelestinum Finale Termini (Dvalin's boss theme) is actually a typewriter.
I would love to see you react to all the volumes from this soundtrack. Especially Liyue and Inazuma would be really great to see.
Sanctuary of Surasthana / Fragile Fantasy, do them in the future :D
This is why I still play Genshin, it is so much deeper to be clouded by the lack of rewards drama(of course you you'll feel that way because you have to grind them hence open world HSR don't have hidden chest etc.) the deep iceberg lore and amazing composition of music is what's keeping me fed of that gamer vigor to play the game.
I definitely think you should listen to music from other regions in Genshin. Honestly its all so good and unique in my opinion that its worth dedicating an entire video to each region
Yes! This looks more and more like what I and most of the comments want. I will highly consider this style.
The dawn whinery part often reminds me of Greensleeves from 1580 which kinda fits the whinary and it's aesthetics
We all started here in Germa .... I mean Mondstahdt and also in love with the game along with the mermerizing musics . 4 years later and still top quality gameplay/music .
I adore this game’s take on music composition, it takes a lot of creativity to compose music the way that Yu-Peng does and it only gets better the further in you get. I have two songs I cannot wait for your reaction to
Love your video!! 💙💙💙💙
14:43 it's funny that you mention winter here, it was used/remixed in one of the OSTs of another newer mihoyo game, which is Honkai: Star Rail. it has a great soundtrack too, you could check it out
as for other genshin pieces, i would suggest the character demo soundtracks, they're used in trailers and aren't heard ingame but go just as hard
Oh, genshin music, did not expect it, but dam I love it
Now I need boss themes
Oh cant wait for you to hear more of Genshin!
This was lovely to enjoy with you! It brought back happy memories of the game, but also the global concert!
I'm interested in your thoughts of how the music shifts throughout the game.
I love your reactions do a reaction to the Frieren OST you'll love it, it's my favorite anime track in recent years, also I think it will pair really well with your violin.
Reaction to any of the genshin ost would be great. The desert album has a soft spot for me.
gusto ko na pinapakinggan mo yung buong album. more power to you pre
I really like your reaction that combines professional knowledge and emotion analysis. No offense to anyone, but this kind of reaction may be somewhat lacking in the Genshin community. Very much looking forward to seeing your reactions in the future.
Thank you kindly!
@@StringPlayerGamerOfficial It was just my honest opinion. Btw, Fun fact: All male vocals in this album are sung by Yu-Peng Chen himself.
You should totally review each nation individually with their according main region theme too. I just hope you'll react to some of the game character demos music. Also I hope you'll react to my favorite song of the Sumeru region "Dance of Sabzeruz". Great series btw, genshin music is really beautiful.
I'd love to see genshin music reaction again. Genshin have such a beautiful music i ever heard.
I like all the soundtracks so much that I downloaded all of them like 1000+ and play them while driving, never get bored.
As a classical musician, I heavily recommend the main themes (named directly after the regions) Inazuma, Sumeru, and Fontaine, and their open-world battle themes. I really good way to react to them is through the live recordings Genshin has on their channel. I love the EDM and more modernized soundtracks by Hoyomix, but I recommend starting with the more symphonic tracks first.
A little info on Genshin's soundtrack: back when Yu-Peng Chen was the main composer, most of the songs were very symphonic, which holds a place in my heart. It had a certain style. These days every track is composed by several composers and doesn't hold the same collective feel. Some are very atmospheric, baroque, or electronic. I have nothing against this. In fact in makes it exciting while exploring even more.
please make a version of each song of the characters with the video. Each character has they own song music that tries to show the personality of the character and their story while at the same time using instrument that usually uses the country or region that is represented in teyvat.
Mondstadt: Germany
Liyue: China
Inazuma: Japan
Sumeru: India/ Middle East
Fontaine: France/ with a bit of Spain
Yesss! Genshin Music is awesome and so well composed it’s insane. The fact that this game is free as well is mind-blowing. I agree that you should go over their other albums as well!
I like your reaction, please have more Genshin because there are still lots of good ones❤
i remember in the past my huawei phoen could handle like max graphics max everything in genshin with its destroyed cracked screen on the right corner, and full brightness, the phone would get so hot but it survived for 1 year playing genshin.. like i played with it sooo smoothly.. and i like their soothing music that i sometimes fell asleep
I'd love to see your reaction to the next album from Dragonspine. There is one positive and cheerful melody, and there is a very sad one. This is my favorite album in the game.
good luck my guy
you're in for a ride
It's fun to hear mondstadt again. Souds really childhood like. But nothing hits my nostalgia like liyue tracks. Moon in onse's cup especially. Oooo brother ❤
The Long Dark has some beautiful songs that play during the story and its survival mode.
Can't wait for you to get to the other regions with their soundtracks. So many good ones! My favourite nations for music, story and characters would have to be Inazuma, Sumeru and Fontaine. Enkanomiya and The Chasm also have beautiful, haunting tracks. But yes, Mondstadt has lovely music! It gives the classic fantasy music feel, but is still unique and stands out all the same. Dawn Winery has my fave music, especially the track called "Lone Sojouner." It's warm and cozy!
I think the last song is from one of their promotional trailers. Honestly I think their promotional version trailers often have some of the best arrangements, they usually sample little bits of the environment, characters and dramatic points of the story and the music just blends so well together.
This was such a phenomenal breakdown. I loved it. Just keep going album by album and I’ll be ecstatic to hear your thoughts on them all. I hope your musical chops are up to it, because the classical European stuff takes a major backfoot (tho never entirely absent) moving forward until Fontaine.
Thanks! Very excited for it. Going back to listening to the tracks made me return to the game as well. Resuming my Liyue questing now.
@@StringPlayerGamerOfficial have fun! The game just gets better and better
Yes, more of this 😊
You should listen to the music of no more room in hell, now that game will bring some emotions, the music does a great job to bring emotions such as: desperation, fear, lonliness and the most important of all hope "no one lives forever, to freedom, to be judged" are really good hits from that game
Great! Not only did I enjoy listening to Mondstadt music again but I had some takeaways.
While being a music enthusiast (though I admit I can be midway in the iceberg of music theory), I was first intrigued at chords playing on my electric organ using sus, mod, and dim chords. Though I might not follow what they really mean in music theory, I just felt like they're like different kinds of cherries-on-top or kind of that sort. I'm definitely not aware until now that those underlying concepts paved their way in the making of such excellent music!
And lastly I do admit that I'd like Mondstadt battle music the least (don't get me wrong they're great too especially the Dvalin battle theme). While I thought this was possibly so because Mondstadt has the easiest difficulty to clear in-game aside from other regions so far and thus its battle music needs to be sorta light weight too, you pointed out the key difference-that being the lowkey to no prescence of percussion and brass instruments in most of the battle themes in Mondstadt. After watching this video I learned to appreciate Yu Peng-chen's efforts into creating these beautiful masterpieces.
Btw if I have spare time sometimes I don't finish the battle right away and either deal slow damage or leave it at low HP then run around just to have the battle theme finish lol. Just to fully enjoy the immersive battle experience too. :>
That light percussion you hear in the background of Dvalin's battle theme is actually a typewriter. If you think using a typewriter as percussion is a novel idea, you are in for a treat because that is only the beginning of the uniqueness of this music. Later you will hear the Fibonacci sequence used as a time signiture, a glass ammoniac for the nation of hydro, and a mix of genera. The mash of EDM and traditional Japanese folk is rather interesting.
Old news, Leroy Anderson already did this in 1953: th-cam.com/video/t2wuNgwTsuA/w-d-xo.htmlsi=6bKGqvd5JcZRD5Y_
@@StringPlayerGamerOfficial Ha yes I know it has been done before. It is just rare.
Great video !
Running around two slimes and listen Rite of battle.
Oh I would really love a reaction to some boss themes... I think you'll like them 😌
Personally, soundtracks from the Sumeru region are my absolute favorite! Honestly, all the tracks in the game are amazing. I can't wait for you to listen and react to them in the future! ♡
If you listen to the "Photon of Fluctuation" you start to hear it in so many of the other songs, particularly the combat focused ones.
sumeru is by far my favourite albums. cannot wait for him to react to it!
This is such a soothing album! I'm more familiar with the music from the studio's other games, Honkai Impact and Honkai Star Rail, the range is absolutely vast!
MD! i didnt know you have YT! you probably dont know me but im one of your guildmates (GL) back from the OG ragnarok online PH.. how to see you react more from genshin's music!
I personally think that the Inscryption Soundtrack is amazing as well! I can't help but recommend it to you, it's genuinely one of the best I've heard!
