The fact I love Liyue Harbor in Genshin Impact is mostly because of the music. I grew up on Chinese dramas and it's like a second home to me, so when I came to Liyue (after the first city being a pretty standard western fantasy town), I was almost crying. I literally could run around in the world that I've only seen on TV and just soak in the atmosphere, especially at night with all the lanterns :D And yes, the picture is indeed Liyue!
Finally!! It took more than one year for another Genshin song! 😭❤️ I'm very glad it was the whole Liyue Harbor themes course and love how in point you were describing their hard work. Not saying which music it is, but there is a song that even uses the Fibonacci Sequence as rhythm. :3 I'm very curious how you'll react to other songs from other regions of the game. Maybe in 2027 Jesse will get to Sumeru OST! 🥲😂
There are many Live symphony orchestra performances of Genshin Such as Sumeru played by London philharmonic orchestra , Inazuma played by Tokyo philharmonic orchestra
some people really want to shit one everything popular huh, hoyo gave us everything free, and you don't even need to pull 5 stars to do anything, sure hoyo had its flaws, but never scam, what did they even scam you of? if you have gambling addiction then if you play any gacha games its the same :/ "nice soundtrack" they literally use all the famous orchestra and they love scaramouche boss theme so much they hire an opera singer who have sing in famous game's soundtrack to do a cover, FOR FREE
@@anry5553 I don't know if this is directed at me or the replies under my comment, but I've been playing Genshin every day since November 2020. My comment isn't meant to be insulting. I love the game, but I can recognize and point out it's not perfect
@@anry5553 Dude really be simping for a company out to milk anyone dry with gambling. Game forces you to gamble for content and pressure with FOMO. Ive been waiting 16 months for Eula ffs. "shit on everything popular" What a great way to dismiss legit criticism. Pathetic
Genshin is really good at that mixing of old and new, it's doing so much groundbreaking stuff right now. Yu-Peng Chen is a mad genius, I'm always looking forward to what he comes up with next. Never expected to like Genshin's (and Star Rail, the new game) music as much as I do, and now it's one of my favourites along with Persona, Nier and FFXIV. There's some live perfomances as well with full orchestras and choirs that are definitely worth checking out.
Lee-you-eh, quickly, almost like its rolling off your tongue (tbh your attempt was better than some instances in the english voiceover 💀) Everything else you pronounced fine. So just to clarify a little bit, this is track 1 on "Jade Moon Upon a Sea of Clouds," the 3rd Album for Genshin's OST. Each album is based on a specific region, in this case, it's Liyue. The song is actually a combination of three themes, since in-game they're played separately. The first two are variations of the same track, the first one ending at about 2:11, the second at 3:20ish, which just play in Liyue Harbor, the main city of that region, and the last is a theme representative of Liyue as a whole used during the in-game equivalent of Chinese New Year, called Lantern Rite Festival. They're bundled together because they share the Liyue [Harbor] leitmotif which plays towards the end of the 2nd and 3rd iteration. Yu-peng Chen has done a fantastic job of utilising instruments for the each of the respective regions, Liyue being based on China of course has a lot of Chinese instruments and sounds. It does a good job of subconsciously letting the player know where they are in the game. Funnily enough, I think it's no coincidence that everything you've already heard and a lot of what's coming is music from Liyue, both Rex Incognito and Azhdaha's theme are from there. Chinese instrumentation is something we arent normally exposed to so Liyue has been a nice gateway into that sound for a lot of folks I would imagine.
To give a little bit of background for this theme, Genshin's world is split up into 7 main regions, each of which represents a different real world culture. The nation of Liyue draws inspiration from China, and thus, uses several traditional Chinese instruments. This also means that the OSTs of the other regions use their respective culture's instruments as well (ie: the latest region, Sumeru, uses various Indian and Egyptian instrumentation. It all leads to a very diverse sounding OST without it sounding disparate.
One of my favorite Genshin Impact OST is called "Lovers' Oath". It's not often recommended by anyone because it's considered more of a meme among the community imo. But I really love that soundtrack, more so after I played the game and know more about the characters involved. I hope you get to listen to it one day.
genshin is an open world (gacha) game that takes inspiration on real life regions of the world for the places you travel to and the music you hear amongst each area. liyue is specifically inspired by china. one hundred percent, i'd wanna see you take a crack at scaramouche's boss theme since it has a mix of latin, japanese, and techno sounds all rolled into one.
I'd say don't worry about mispronouncing Liyue, there's like...5 different ways the voice actors pronounce it in game nobody knows how to say it right in English lol As for the theme Liyue, I'd say the best leitmotif of it comes with this festival they hold around Chinese New Year called Lantern Rite. You get used to the song "Liyue" and then the Lantern Rite comes along and it's so beautiful and bright and just brings all the feels. It adds more percussion, string instruments and wind instruments. I think the song itself is just called "Lantern Rite"
Bro, keep up the amazing work! Keep doing your youtube thing man!! Can see the growth & inprovement! Consistency is so key 🔑!! Been rooting for since the ttt2 ps3 videos. Content creation is you!
Someone else alluded to the same thing, but Liyue is where Genshin finally clicked for me. The first region and big town of this open world game are kind of generic, and while they come off as extremely impressive for a free-to-play gacha game, it doesn't feel special Liyue as a whole feels like, this is it. This game has an identity. It's still mired by all the trappings of free-to-play gacha, but there is love and craftsmanship at play. The flourishes of the geography, the harbour town, the music, and the obvious love for Chinese culture that is expressed through them really comes through.
Liyue is and will always be the best city in Genshin. Even tho the later stories are great but I feel like all of the best and hypest moment was in Liyue
I've heard lots about this game and my younger brother played it at one point with his friends. I heard music from it here and there. This feels like a bright sunny day at 9:00 AM lol, the flute tone reminds me of a random licensed PS1 game. This gives me "start of a new day" vibe. When that bass comes in 2:16 I start to like this song, good chords and the string went crazy with that solo. The section right after is so soothing and reminds me of the past, I don't know how to feel about that since it makes me emotional. This gives me small town vibes where there's nothing but peace and happiness, parts of this give me some real film score vibes especially at the end. This was great and I really like this song, I'll have to listen to it a few more times to see if I want to add it to my collection.
So far 4 capitals from each nations are revealed, and Liyue is currently the most bustling city among all. This song captures the liveliness of the people with the outlandish view of the city.
I've not played genshin with the exception of a few hours when it first released - but it's soundtrack has never got old. Probably one of the greatest video game soundtrack of all time.
@@IDKYHM and the rewards for it are truly pathetic, so if you just don't want every single character that comes out it's pretty safe to get the chars you want
This track does really tell a story like, expecting the wonderful tomorrow before sleep, next morning a shinny wake hard working all day, enjoying the night festival with family or friends, then, people leaving and looking up the last biggest firework of the night.
I was one of those people who always made fun of genshin impact until someone finally talked me into playing it. It's actually really fun and the soundtrack is amazing.
This tract is basically the background track for the city that goes by the name of the track. If you think this one is good, you’re in for a treat when you get to the boss battle songs of this game.
Yes. Finally someone suggested the large atmospheric Genshin soundtrack. People usually react to the aggressive pieces in Genshin but I personally think the atmospheric pieces are even better imo.
Genshin's music is fantastic. You can find a fault pretty much anywhere else in the game, but never its music. And honestly Hoyoverse's more recent game, Star Rail, is similar.
Actually really close on the pronunciation of Liyue. Far closer than a few of the English voice cast and a majority of the content creators who insist on calling it ‘Leeway’.
9:49 your talk about genshin music is really same with MarcoMeatball who also react to game music include genshin music. 11:29 it is free to play game but look at the game income, it really is a big game
Yeah, the Genshin Impact soundtrack is like a 500+ space dartboard where every throw hits a bullseye
YESS TRUEE XD

I agree, I like Sumeru's music as well but I keep coming back to Liyue to hang out/afk. My teapot uses Liyue's tracks.
For me it's Inazuma, it's so tranquil.

If Genshin Impact / Hoyoverse (formerly Mihoyo) does anything right, it's 100% the music. Every track in every area is so memorable and distinct
They dedicated half of their funds to create Hoyo-Mix so it makes sense that their music is so good 😂
It's an unfortunate truth that a digital slot machine simulator can get away with a lot of scummy tactics as long as it has a nice soundtrack.

I know its not in season but I feel obligated to say this...
Happy Lantern Rite!
Aww, that doesn't matter, if it's not in season! ^^
Happy Lantern Rite!
Happy Lantern Rite indeed.
At this point within 5-10 years he'll finally check la Signora theme)))

Imagine walking through a super-lively Chinese-style harbor city with _dense_ cultural flavor to this music - then you got what this plays for!
Genshin may expand, but Liyue is always the home to comeback.
yeah the music is very magical and the world in genshin is also very magical i think, its complimenting each other very well

The lantern rite theme is actually in this video, it starts at around 3:17
I pronounce it kind of the same you properly say Edinburough(I can never spell it right😥), kind of dropping off at the end syllable.

Oh i didn't knew you did Genshin before, the game music it's pretty great, i love specially the newer tracks we got
The game can be criticized because it has flaws, but it cannot be denied a wonderful fairy-tale atmosphere thanks to the visuals and music.
Welcome to Anime China
Brought to you by China, and contributions from players like you. 🌠 Thank You
Let's try a Sumeru symphony live performance and Realm of Tranquil Eternity: Inazuma Live Symphony Performance. This is best genshin music u can find
genshin's music is awesome
All of the Main Region themes are absolutely stunning. I definitely recommend checking out Inazuma and Sumeru next.

Thank God the algorithm brought me to your video

you gotta hit us with some TOTK music reactions at some point, i loved your genshin and zelda stuff so far
The music from Genshin makes me really want to play it but i know i would just be met with a gambling addiction.
Kinda true. Mostly depends on the strength of your self control. Cuz you can easily do everything accept the spiral abyss without spending.

i love listening to this song while driving on a sunny day
I totally forgotten the diference in tone of Liyue theme with Inazuma one
Genshin music is a deep rabbit hole.
I was one of those people who always made fun of genshin impact until someone finally talked me into playing it. It's actually really fun and the soundtrack is amazing.
Liyue's Theme is Pure, Unadulterated BLISS!

Yes. Finally someone suggested the large atmospheric Genshin soundtrack. People usually react to the aggressive pieces in Genshin but I personally think the atmospheric pieces are even better imo.
Genshin got some top tier music, liyue area is my fav
This is like the other official theme of Genshin Impact
I highly recommend to try listening to scaramouche boss theme genshin impact it's totally different
Oh, he's reacting to Genshin as well? This man has to hear Port Ormos.
Oh, i think u would like the Dehya's character Demo. Check it for reactions or just for fun, it has cool soundtrack
I have my own personal Gripes with Genshin Impact, but the music, is Extremely high Quality.

Are you trolling or have you not heard some of genshin's osts xD
He is surely trolling or idk what is he doing on a music Channel lol JAJAJJA
And your chanel full of anime games 💀
even if you don't like the game you can't deny the music is good
What a meaningful insight, surely not biased nor toxic at all. Typical hater, probably a child; Behave.
