As much as it is a meme, I honestly think it would be nice to see Yanfei somewhere in Fontaine.
Same. And her birthday letter talking about Fontaine ? Hmmm im sure she will represent us
@@Sacration OMG I WOULD LOVE THAT!! Also I think it’s more likely she shows up for a Fontaine event tho
i’d definitely be down for a yanfei hangout in fontaine!!
“Better Call Yanfei” needs to be the quest name if she takes part in the story, lmaooo.
yes, especially since yanfei is a lawyer. It would be interesting seeing a lawyer like yanfei, and a judge like Focalors meet.
Ooh, I love longer-form stuff from you! Thanks for catching all of us up before Fontaine drops
no problem! my plan is to upload both short-form and long-form way more consistently!!
@@Minsleif Love to hear that! As much or as little as you have capacity and time for are always appreciated. You're a really awesome content creator, so it's always a good time to watch
@@MinsleifI legit came for you cuz I know you got us covered
I am SO EXCITED for Fontaine.
Ever since I learned about oceanid lore way early, I’ve been eagerly yet patiently waiting for the Nation of Justice, almost as much as I’ve been patiently waiting for Snezhnaya and the Tsaritza’s plan’s unfolding.
YES their lore is so tragic too i was so happy when 3.8 followed up on it ; -- ;
@@Minsleif off topic but what are your opinions on the pneuma-ousia mechanic?
@@Minsleif I notice that childe does not have his Vision on/with him. So I think that since he is the lowest rank of the 11 Harbingers, he could be punish and is only to use a Delusion until he clears his mistakes after failing to defeat the Traveler in Liyue.
@@erosaguirre2133 i think more that all vision users are not allowed to have their visions during trials/ in the court. Just like in our world with no weapons allowed in court
Can u pls make a series explaining all the tevat lore in order including those from some other mysterious regions like dainsliff chasm and enkanomiya regions … and pls like pls if possible I need u to explain me what’s going on in sumeru … I even gave up on exploring anything in sumeru like I don’t know what’s going on … thx
I feel like fontaine will be my new favourite nation. Not only because LORE, but also I just LOVE the clothes, the city, the views...
you forgot the MUSIC
I feel like this area will bring me back to gensjin
a huge city but mostly empty. not many NPCs, like in every other city-
Me too!
@@EllaNonimato You know that if they added more crowds your game propably wouldn't be able to handle it, right?
I'm starting to see Furina as a possible complicated character. What if, she knows that she's unfit to become an Archon and didn't wish to be one. But, with the death of the Lord of Amrita, she was forced to take on the role. Then, her image of a "spoiled girl who seeks entertainment" may be a facade to hide her true self. There are some hints in the trailer that there's this "grand act" going on behind the scenes in Fontaine. Since she's the Archon who embodies "justice" she has to present herself in some way that will show her status.
Maybe, Furina believes that she won't be able to protect Fontaine but does not wish to see Fontaine fall because of her incompetence. This is why she's afraid of Celestia, knowing it can easily erase Fontaine if it willed so. The prophecy may also be weighing on her so much, that it caused her emotions to affect the waters of Fontaine (Since Oceanids can do it, it's highly possible that Furina can too). And those negative emotions of hers is actually what's going to cause the prophecy to happen.
Although she acts that way, in reality, Furina might be struggling to hold everything together. Perhaps in the Archon quest we'll peel off her mask and we'll help her fix everything? In other words, we're literally going to be Furina's therapist. 🤣
Imo from the 1st trailer we know she want judge other god probably connect with 1st hydro archon death or tragedy khaenriah last 500 year ago, but she probably saw the cost of breaking heaven law, so my conclusion she is archon who wont break law even the law probably the reason of problem at 4.0 story, and maybe mc in the end bait her to break law.
Honestly this was a great analysis.
Kazuha said that in Fontaine a thief’s hand/arm is cut off if caught, so I think it could match with Arlechinno.
Sounds familiar
...reminds me of ballister from nimona tbh
So kinda foreshafowing that Arclechinno gonna get caught and got her hand chop.. but by who i wonder
@@stellasc04 Arlechinno's hands are not the typical humanoid hand you'll see. It is kind of black with longer nails. So assumingly, I think her original arms were already cut off if what Kazuha is saying is true regarding about the thieves who get their hands chop if caught stealing.
I would say Fontaine’s energy comes from judging people, and when they run out of “bad” people to judge, the system will “judge” everyone instead.
Which is “everyone will be resolved in water”.
"Known for its beautiful women" and showing lyney you're so real for that/pos
I'm glad to find your channel on youtube!! time to catch up on your lore content o9
"their lies" and you show lyney again omg i love you
hoyo has such a weird fascination with cubes. Every time I see a cube in this game, I can't help but think about the sustainer (Sirin) and her cool cubic abilities.
edit: I love that Ruka was so sweet. Friends with Amrita and trying to keep her conscious in the mortal realm. Makes me so happy. They were all so close in the past, and now, they are broken apart by death and new rulerships.
Venti: I solve the problem for my people
Zhongli: I let my people solve the problem
Raiden: I am the problem
Nahida: My people are the problem
Furina: 𝗜 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗺𝘀
Nahida is the one doing everything Venti is more like the one who disappears except that time he was stomped be Signora
@@pyro5159 He actually is not, there is a reason he disappeared, its because he exhausted his power in trying to heal dvalin, and its become a thousand years later when he cameback.
@@mapol8088 and Zhongli has been susceptible to corrosion and Ei is still worn down from a war hell doesn't even have her gnosis and Nahida has been using her power to hold up an entire nation yet still active
@@pyro5159 did you read what i said? I said he exhausted his power just like rukadevatta thats the reason he fell on a thousand year slumber. If you dont even know that then i dont know what to tell you.
Tsaritsa: My people make nationwide problems
Leify really is Dainsleif's canonical wife 🛐
@minsleif if you were the only person to have dainsleif as a playable character on your account, for how much would you sell it
I’m the canonical husband because I will absolutely try to get him
@@pacoperezbarrocal8028 that sounds like a fall guys gordon headcrab situation
Maybe Omnium is the vision of Dainsleif. All visions😜.
*watching this as a Dainsleif kinnie 🤨*
One of the things I've personally been wondering about is what title/nickname we'll get after the events in Fontaine are resolved. So far, First Sage of Buer is my favorite.
But an idea I had that I really like is Champion of the Guilty, since justice has been warped and now needs corrected.
“For some people Fontaine is a most convenient to live, but for others, it is naught but a place of grief and disappointment”
Literally paris
Yeah, right. I went to France three times in all my life, and all French people i interacted with were snobbish, rude, arrogant jerks. They made me feel like i was some kind of vulgar redneck.
@@veronicapiccinini7956I'm french and most of Parisians are trash ngl
@@veronicapiccinini7956 I'm sorry but if all the people you interacted with during the three times you went there were rude to you, then the problem must come from you not from them lmaoo
@@ladymaria22 try to say that again once you really get there
@@veronicapiccinini7956 Once I really get there ? My good sir/ma'am I was born there and I lived there all my life. I would have thought you'd already understood from the way I replied to your comment. I am French. But tell me, where are you from? Depending on your answer, this could explain a lot of things.
Been a while to see you upload here as a video than a short, there sure a lot of mysteries when it comes to lore with Fontaine, content creators like you deserve a praise for explaining the full touches of it's lore.
i'm hoping to do this more regularly
@@Minsleif I appreciate your formality 🥺🥺
It's always so refreshing to hear from you, and in such great length! Thanks for this video Minsleif!
Fontaine is gonna have a lot to unravel, and I can't wait to see how the story actually unfolds.
ahh i'm so glad ; - ;
@@Minsleif Of course!! You're very welcome! 🤗
Long forma stuff from you is so good 😊
You really have a good grasp of the Lore and you are one of the few contain creators that do an accurate pronouncation of words and names of all nations
As a french person, i can say you made a big effort for the pronunciation. Thank you for this very interesting video.
I am in love with the long format 😍 thank you for the informative and amazing work you’re doing 🙌🏽
The names you pronounce for Fontaine characters are on point. I am amazed.
i was literaly just searching youtube for a fontaine lore video!! lucky you JUST realeased this vid 30 minutes ago at the perfect time! your voice is so calming and the editing style is so amazing, keep up the good work Min!!
thank you so much!! ; - ; I'm so glad you enjoyed it!!
Im so excited to see what goes down in the archon quest, and how all the characters fit in (Especially Lyney, I'm biased towards him.) Theres so many elements of Fontaine and I'm excited to see how it all ties in. Excellent video, I feel like this has really set me up to take in the archon quest when it arrives
Fontaine looks stunning! I can’t wait to finally explore it. I’m also intrigued by the story. Justice is a really interesting theme to base a story around.
So detailed! Thanks for being so informative and bringing spoiler-free hype and lore! 😊
I love the no spoilers policy, they always ether make me nervous or just annoy me
This was really good content. The research for this had to be insane.
I am so excited for this new area but more so excited for the story as well.
same!!! from the trailers alone the stakes in this archon quest feel so much higher!
Is it goona be new map
@@fighterinmkiwiscience3517 yes since it's a new country and most is underwater
@@LongDeadArtist are we gonna lose old map?
@@fighterinmkiwiscience3517 like always, the rest of the world (Mondstadt, Liyue, Inazuma and Sumeru) will stay except the new event map with Klee and Idiya
Yaasss I was in ur stream when u announced long form content! can't wait to watch this and ur vids every week (cosy evenings with a snack and Minsleif vids!!)
Update: The vid was AMAZING!
as an italian I can say for sure that your pronunciation of Arlecchino is really good! also ty for another amazing video, you explained it all so well ✨
I'm also Italian, and i think that Arlecchino might tell us more information about the Ice Archon, the Abyss and Celestia. After all, if she is like the masked figure she is named after, she is "The cunning servant that tells the Truth, while they are laughting or joking"
With each nation, it feels that we are so close to finding our sibling (Not to forget the Dainsleif Banner). I am so excited for the archon quests, especially getting more info about the ‘sinner’. Maybe the sinner went through Fontaine and did something that made the court find him guilty. There may be record files of the trial still in Fontaine. Anyway keep up with the good work Minsleif!
We found sibling ages ago. Still, sibling is working with abyss, so they are actually Traveller's enemy...
@@alesthra By that I meant actually reuniting with them
@@farehamujeeb it might never happen tbh. I get a feeling that in the end of genshin we'll end up defeating our sibling in fight to the death. From what I know, Hoyoverse games aren't sparkles and glitters, but actually dark stories which makes you actually cry and suffer, because character you love died. I really doubt they'll go happy ending route...what most likely will happen, it'll be tragic ending. I wouldn't be surprised that some characters we think as evil will be revealed to be actually nice. In example Tsaritsa, some Fatui harbingers, unknown God, only to be brutally killed the moment they become really loved by fans. Why? Because creators of game loves inflicting pain and suffering upon us...and killing off beloved characters is good way to do it. But if they do it,those characters won't be playable? No. What if they are killed off like a year or two after being released as playable characters?
"And what do court and opera have in common? There are sides trying to convince you of their act - their lies"
I love that you included this as I may have commented this in the special program livestream. 💙💜
could be applied alot IRL
Wow, thanks, this was the most comprehensive rundown of known information I have seen. Thanks!
18:59 - that reminds me, Musk Reef where Spiral Abyss entrance is used to be a top of a mountain. I believe we learned it during the Reconciled Stars event. If Jueyun Karts should be ocean floor while this part should be a mountain, maybe this suggests the whole Teyvat might be tilted compared to how it was in the past. Or maybe it has something to do with Fontaine's elevated plate.
I have to give you crédit for trying to pronpuce the names on a french way, and you did really good. I hope you will remember me as a anoying french dude chearing you
Nahida would do well in court, she could just read the ppls minds 💀
I have a few theories to offer, so I’ll give a summary of them, so please ask questions if you have any!
(Little Fun Fact, Oratrice is the French word for Orator, a speaks person, essentially)
Hydro Ripple Impact Theory!
Taking a closer look at the Hydro Symbol, I realized it looked rather like a ripple. When tension in the water surface breaks, it causes waves. This break is usually always the effect of an impact. The word “impact” is also used in Renee’s Notes, “Using this method … resist the impact”. This method might just be the Pneuma-Ousia Annihilation Reaction.
Anyways! With this “impact” being mentioned twice, I heavily wonder if we’ll perhaps be getting a name drop of “Genshin Impact” in Fontaine, and if so … well … this is THE name drop, it has to be in the Archon Quest!!!
Hydro Influence Theory!
Just like how the Anemo Characters all have this slightly/majorly tragic past, usually involving a dead friend. I believe I have found the Hydro Variant!
All Hydro Characters have had a guiding influence! So the Hydro Archon must follow the same as well! But what guiding influence would a God of Justice even need? As a God, did she require a guiding influence towards the ideal of Justice? Or as an Archon, did she require the guiding influence from the divine? Or is it possible that she needed both?
One way or the other, I bet all my Primogems for the next 10 years, that we’ll find a Guiding Influence attached to her Story!
Butterfly Princess Theory!
The Catalyst “Frostbearer” has a backstory of the Princess of Sal Vindagnyr, who received the blessing of the Silver Tree. I believe this Princess, ended up surviving after the destruction of her Kingdom, when the Silver Tree was revitalized by Durin’s Blood, meaning she would’ve been dead(or something of an unconscious state, Hilichurl?) for a very long time until 500 years ago. After all, if the Silver Tree was revitalized, then the Blessing must’ve as well.
The one oddity about the Dragonspine Tree is the appearance of Butterflies attached to it, they have nothing to do with Durin, so it must be something to do with Sal Vindagnyr. (The Butterflies are red, only because Durin’s red blood was used to revitalize it, so if Durin’s blood was gold or blue, then we’d be getting a gold or blue Butterfly!)
The Frostbearer also has a Butterfly attached to its design, White Butterfly before ascension, turns into a Red Butterfly after ascension. It was at this point that a very clear picture was painted into my mind.
The Princess of Sal Vindagnyr was born, with her pupils in the shape of white crosses, a sign that she received the blessing from Irminsul. She grew up in her kingdom until tragedy struck and the gods wiped her Home away with a Celestial Nail. She woke up many years later to find the Irminsul Tree revitalized, and her Home to be destroyed beyond recognition, angry at the gods for this unspeakable evil, she left her Home land to join hands with the Fatui, where they named this lady with Red Crosses for Eyes, Arlecchino, The Knave.
Hope you enjoyed my theories!
Wow, you really got it with all the lore references, incredible work
What amazing stuff French Archon did in Fontaine? Venti and Dvalin killed a huge dragon, which would later be called Dragonspine, and Zhongli buried Gods with his spears, which would be known as Gunyun Stone Forest. We see Raiden's huge slash against the giant serpent, and Sumeru Archon buried Giant Mechs.
Sumeru Archon didn't though. However they do control ALL KNOWLEDGE that exist and can erase such knowledge from all Memory.
Ei also slaughtered the Thunderbird
Well Foçalors is probably the one who raised her entire nation 300+m above the sea and created a giant waterfall. I believe Fontaine is also the place where all the waters of Teyvat come from so it's quite a Big thing to deal with.
I can’t freaking wait for Fontaine! It’ll be interesting to see where the story goes from here.
Can you tell me it's new map or something else
Just gonna drop a like for the obviously high level amounts of attention and detail that's gone into the production of this video. I couldn't sit to write school essays or presentation to save my grade. My hat goes off to you minslief.you've earned my like 😂
It's nice to see longer form stuff from you besides shorts,plus i find your matter of explaining things and lore very informative thanks for catching me up on the lore:D
Love how you have summed up all the clues we have available as of the moment! ❤ Thank you!!!
Fontaine might be like the French revolution, just a theory.
i'm so excited for fontaine man, furina looks perfect i cannot wait to pull for her :D
loved belobog so i'm down for another rich surface/poor underground thing
(also childe showing up instantly means this region's plot will be GOATED)
I listened to this while packing moving boxes and it was so calming no matter the topic honestly. The names, the descriptions and all sounded do good while trying not to stress over things.
What an amazing summary and collection of information, thank you so much!
woo minsleif long form video!! i am so so so excited for fontaine but haven’t been playing genshin too much until recently, so this video was really useful for catch up stuff, thank you!!
The trailer and all the lore tidbits we've gotten have me hyped,but I'm also 😊 about maybe, finally, getting some freaking info about Natlan
This water as memory thing is really giving Frozen 2 lol
my prediction: (watch the official trailer if you want to understand my theory)
In the trailer, At minute 1:23 it is shown that Lynette has Vision on the back of her Ribbon
But at 3:14 it is shown that Her Vision is no longer there, it can be concluded that if the opera house and the courtroom are one, then vision is not allowed in the courtroom
which explains the reason why Neuvilette & Childe doesn't have a vision
But idk it's just a Theory :)
This might be a bit out of topic but I honestly love hearing your voice, very soothing and relaxing but most importantly, thankyou for such an amazing video!
i’m ready for fontaine! the new characters and the archon quest is going a lot of fun ms. min!
It would be awesome if we got a xinyan and yanfei based event perhaps xinyan coming to fontaine to learn more about rock and roll so she can pioneer it in Liyue or just wanting to explore the nation of Rock and Rolls origins. Perhaps somehow she gets into some scuffle and yanfei comes by to help her out or happens to tag along with her while on vacation and decides to represent her as they are most likely friends or atleast know each other and are aquaintences
Cope
@@Icysted mald
@@fancymustache3793 no one supports a useless trash black character
two minutes in and it's already some juicy info to know before getting to hydroland! nom nom thanks!
somewhat unrelated but if the whole "may the wind protect you" thing that venti said presists { xiao saved us from falling during the osail battle, kazuha blocked the musuo no hitotachi for us, and wanderer/scara saved us from himself. I don't if anybody else noticed this but just saying all of this to anyone who's confused} then lynette should be the first anemo character we meet.
I got a Genshin ad with your voice and I didn’t notice it was ad because I was listening to this in background 😭
Ahhh ! I really love that they took inspiration from Claude Monet for the landscapes!
The pneuma-ousia annihilation sorta sounds like the matter-antimatter annihilation. Both things have an "equal" and "opposite" (pneuma-ousia / matter-antimatter) and when one of them comes into contact with their opposite, it causes annihilation and generates vast amount of energy. Pretty neat if you ask me. If Fontaine can harness that kind of energy, who knows how advanced they are.
Fontaine is the first map I been hyped for it
honestly, focalors is like a bratty toddler and im here for it
As a returning Genshin player, this helped a lot! Again, THANK YOU SO MUCH, MS. MINSLEIF! 😍😍😍😍
I'm so invested in Fontaine story and can't wait for 4.0 release 🤩
Focalors is so pretty and i want to see her execute someone with her sword
👀
Editting-FIRE, Lore-FIRE, Min-FIRE
JOSH THANK U !! :"D
SUCH A BEAUTIFUL RELAXING VID, tysm min❤
First time bumping to your channel and I was amazed how detailed the video is. Subscribed!❤
a great video, thank you so much for all the work that went into it!
kinda smart for tartaglia to fight with lightning delusion instead of fighting hydro versus hydrovision.
The location of Celestia is known to be between the Fontaine city and Liyue. Also, it’s speculated that we get this area around version 4.x - and on other note, Celestia sits on a bottomless void that is not host to any nation. This has already been confirmed.
Super Off-Topic! I don’t know why but when she said something about Fontaine being a beautiful techy city that has a poor area (most probably polluted as well) my mind went to Piltover-Zaun from Arcane/LOL especially since Fontaine is inspired by French.
Can you pls turn this into a series for every nation, I don't skip archon quest dialogue but still it's too complicated to keep up with
I’d love to!! ; - ; 💙💙
Qiqi became an archon of ice at the end
I know that the diving will be my fav art of genshin since I love the ocean and mermaids (I count kokomi as a metmaid especially with the new diving feature!)
Love your voice explaining it. Soothing smooth and clean
the things on the side of the oratrice look like dvalin’s purified tears!
Thanks Minsleif! Love your vids!
thank you for your videos! They are both very funny and interesting to watch ❤
awesome video you earned a sub
take a shot every time minsleif says "fontaine"
I notice that childe does not have his Vision on/with him. So I think that since he is the lowest rank of the 11 Harbingers, he could be punish and is only to use a Delusion until he clears his mistakes after failing to defeat the Traveler in Liyue.
Imagine you wait for Dainsleif to become a playable character but in release he's only a 4 star LMFAO.
Maybe the third flood is a foreshadowing of a battle between traveler and heavenly principle
The first flood phanes vs sovereigns
Second battle invader vs phanes
And third battle traveler vs phanes
I think raiden wanderer and kokomi should not need to breathe underwater. I mean 2 puppets and a fish? Since puppets can swim I think they are waterproof
What a wonderful little video, thank you
Teyvat uses the same word as used in _Teyvat Noach_ (Noah's Ark) which is also another reference to the Biblical flood. My longstanding headcanon theory is that Teyvat is the "last remnants of humanity" and their collective consciousness is used to create the world. Ambitions can cause people to question the truth of the world around it and destabilize the world. Therefore, these persons are given Visions, much like the redpills in the Matrix.
I still don't understand why the Oceanid are enemies. It's clear that they follow the previous Hydro archon who was a benevolent one, so why are they aggressive?
They deal a ton of dmg as well 😵
im super excited for fontaine! tysm for the info!
As someone who is planning to go into research, I find it really interesting that Fontaine punishes researchers for not providing results. It reminds me of a video I watched a while back about the importance of researchers publishing their papers even if there were no significant results, as those papers still hold ideas that can be referenced or modified in the future. I hope this is further explored when the region is released, since I don't think this issue in research gets enough attention.
I’m really hoping during the archon quest we meet a member or two of the Hexenzirkel. I’m also hoping we get a trailer of them like the fatui
Does Minsleif do asmr, her voice is so smoothing and delightful to the ear. Great video ! The story telling, organised and easy to understand lore, plus the great quality of the images is perfect ;)
first time to this channnell and her voice, way of talking was soooo cuteee and adorable..
you just earned a sub
thank you for this! I am excited for fontaine 🎉
My favorite thing is such a small detail but it makes it so much better for me.
At 1:50 after Kazoo intercepted the fatal blow we were supposed to get we can see Raiden holding a sword. You may be asking, “so what?” The raiden shogun/the vessel Ei resides in uses a polearm as her weapon of choice while Ei herself uses a sword to fight with. We can see it in the elemental burst where Ei temporarily takes control of the shogun, takes out her sword and uses it to battle
PLEASE make a video on the Elemental crystal lore. I dont understand a thing of the randomly censored names and things like that
The Hiragi Camera is a Fatal Frame reference!! That’s so cute!!!
Love what you're doing! Keep it up
OMG i knew the story of coppelius and coppelia seemed familiar.
We had to read "Der Sandmann" in school a few months ago. This ballet is based on this old german novel written by E.T.A. Hoffmann.
amazing video as always!!
nothing about Neuvillette’s boochie pearl?
Thank you, Min! I’ve been out of Genshin for a while so I really needed this recap. The editing is perfect.
EXCUSe ME HUH ?!?!!? AYO LOL and I love u! thank u so much ; - ;
your pronunciation of everything is so pretty o.o
Does anyone else feel like Focalors is treating her people like whatever the heck the Lawrence Clan used to own
Y'know what I mean
am i the only one that fell in love with her voice
I wonder if in Fontain they can use Pneuma and Ousia (that kinda resembles Celestia and Abyss) because they’re just below Celestia, so the presence of that energy is much stronger and richer in the ambient. It would make things even more interesting if the theory that Celestia is going to drop a nail in the Fontaine Archon Quest comes to be true
