Mihoyo really gave neuvilette everything good story, good personality, good story quest,great role in archon quest ,very fun gameplay, strong dmg ,higher position then archon ,great in exploration ,great va , very cool desgin he feels like mihoyo's favorite 😭 not even making this up he feels good in anything
I love that Wriothesley said to Neuvillette that he is indeed loved by the people of fontaine and should stop consider himself an outsider. He tried to keep people away but he still formed connections with many people over the years.
Shame Neuvillette's fanbase can't follow him in his behavior and instead they have to ruin Furina everywhere and try to replace her with Neuvillette on fanarts of archons etc.
Arguably one of the best story quests and cutscenes, it's so sad and gorgeous at the same time, they really gave Neuvillette such a dark past when it came to Carole and Vaudrin, but in the end where the kid said "Hydro Dragon Hydro Dragon Don't cry!" and seeing Neuvillette just noticing it just teared me up!
i was recording the entire quest for memento purposes but I laughed so hard when the video went silent for a minute (because i was stunned while recording) because the traveler spoke - that's when i know how in depth the story is T_T eg: traveler rescuing nahida
We're shown his past little by little and it breaks my heart every. single. time. I've never felt such empathy for a character before. It's just his sincerity and kindness, as well as his lack of understanding of himself and the emotions of others that makes you feel for him. Istg, from the first few seconds he appeared in the trailer, I knew right away Neuvillette was going to be sweet and kind to others, despite all the seriousness in his voice
story quests in the past have made me cry at the end but Neuvillette's had me SOBBING literally every. 5. minutes. I was a shell of a person at the end, ive never cried for 2 hours straight before. As a mixed race immigrant myself living in france, everything about the quest hit me like a truck (i am so sorry for my neighbors when i rewatch the cutscene at the end)
Ugh, I feel you, trust me! This whole quest was gut wrenching in the best possible way. That final cutscene was fantastic. "Hydro Dragon, Hydro Dragon, don't cry..."
I'll be honest, when I went through the flashback bit with the fountain and first saw the trio of Neuvillette, Carole and Vautrin, I was like "Awwww what a cute trio".... And then I remembered Nuevillette saying about their outcomes and I've never had my mood changed so fast from happy to sad
The way Neuvillette treats all Melusines is so wholesome, I love this🥺 It makes me so sad to think that when Neuvillette found out Carole died he cried so much, because he knew her for 5 years and she was very close to him. And he also had to send Vautrin to the Fortress of Meropide, it upset him a lot, too. During the trial in the opera house you could hear that he was about to cry, probably because of both, Carole and Vautrin.. Now I understand why he tries not to get close to people, especially from Fontaine.
To add on the reasons he doesn't get close to others, it's also because he's a judge. Imagine making friends with a lot of people and now one of those people is on trial and you're the only judge in Fontaine. Aside from potential grief, conflicts of interest are in play too.
@claustofobia6086 Hopefully they manage to let him strike a balance. We know he doesn't preside over all cases because of one Melusine NPC dialogue (she asks us to guess if Furina will be there or if Neuvillette will be the one to judge the case), which means there are other judges. If there is a conflict of interest, then someone else can be the judge.
I know very well that rain didn't cause by Hydro dragon's sadness, but the rain contains the emotions that Neuvillette could feel and causing him to be stirred. But the scene with the kid shouting hydro dragon don't cry made me in tears myself. And the vision of Carole and Vautrin smiling at the fountain? I ended up full blown crying😂
@@HenSt-gz7qjshe had a role, what are you talking about? Arguarbly the most Important role, since he is only fulfilling a promise to her. And she was the one who gave him a purpose to stay in Fountaine.
@@DG_Toti yes. Neuvillette made his promise to Focalors not Egeria. Furina has been the archon for 500 years. And Neuvillette came to fountaine since 400 years. So obviously his promise was to her and not Egeria.
it still heavily involved NPC's tho, Kiara, Carole and Vautrin were all at the core of the story. I still say that a quest can be good even with an NPC focus. If we literally never focused on NPC, the world would feel hollow, here are 80 playable characters, the whole world literally revolves around them, and everyone else is a flat 2d cutout because god forbid we spend an hour to get to know an NPC.
Wriothesley as a character is just amazing. He was goofy and all during the whole thing and then suddenly (1:16:36) he's the one who dropped the fact bomb to Neuvillette to clear his doubt, like it's just so satisfying I cant even explain lmao. He has similar vibe to Cyno and I'm loving it. Legit, I was gonna pull Neuvillette but when Wriothesley appeared on the archon quest, I just stopped and decided to pull for Wriothesley 🤣
I just got Neuvillette and now thinking of his signature weapon and then Wriothesley and Furina. I'll get whomever I get haha. Still, I love how the whole quest was basically Fontaine guys being therapeutic towards Neuvillette 😂
I thought both wriothesly and neuvillette will have grumpy aggressive personalities but it turns out to be complete opposite neuvillette is a gentleman and wriothesly is a goofy sassy dude
This is the first story quest that really made my heart heavy especially around the end. They really had to do one last double dip when Carole spiritually connected to Kiara in her dream
I cried in his story quest just because it's so bittersweet TT I think they are finally learning from players that we don't want NPC impact - at least in the story quests. Baizhu, Dehya, Yoimiya, Lyney ,and now Neuvillette has amazing story quests that more or less focuses on them, their ideals or what's important to them.
I Personally did not like Baizhu quest. But that's might be because I was not invested into any character in it. It was a good quality into introducing the character and his backstory. But it didn't Hit the Mark for me.
The new story quests are getting better and better. This and Baizhu's Story Quests are my favorite, along with Alhaitham (only because of Kaveh and Haitham's bickering at the end).
I cried so much during this quest. Also, it made me realize that we really got to see Navia's good side during the first two acts, because apparently she rules the Spina di Rosula with an iron fist behind the scenes omg 💀
I don't get why people are always so "oh no npcs are a part of someone story quest." Isn't it more natural that we see how characters interact with normal people? And we get a lot of characterization through these interactions. For example Ayatos Quest. It was a really fitting quest for his character. I think Wriothesley story quest will have a lot to do with NPCs too because we met so many in the fortress but i think that is not a bad thing if we learn through them more of the playable character. it doesn't always need action but i will be really suprised if Wriothesley doesn't throw a few punches in his quest :D
Nah, the bad rap comes from how they're written and how much spotlight they take compared to who the story is supposed to be about. I'd give examples, but I don't remember most story quests anymore. I just remember hating Yelan's story quest cuz it wasn't as cool or interesting as I thought going in.
@@Tiyac3 but not every character has a interesting or tragic backstory that could be explored. I think character interactons are much more interesting than just getting told "yeah that is my sad backstory." in the interactions between different characters you can see a lot what makes a person. How they solve different problems, how they see themself and others around them. thats why i like Alhaithams so much. We don't talk a lot about his background but the way he interacted with other people was really interesting to me.
Mihoyo's not afraid with giving their audiences a barrage of straight-up gut punch and a roller-coaster of emotions in-between, The moment Kiara saw carole in her dreams, is the moment that I couldn't hold it anymore. Well done mihoyo, well done.
Neuvillette is so adorable and awesome! I didn't regret to pull for him! Also, in the spiral abyss, he is sooooo helpful with the freeze team. Love playing him! ^_^ Also, this story quest is one of a kind of amazing and sad at the same time. I suddenly remember Tighnari's story quest and I thought that was the saddest one for me but Neuvillette's story makes me teared up even more 😭😭😭
I love that we were not only told how badly melusines were perceived at first, but also shown the real events with real characters, nice Besides, there was no Paimon to interrupt the unfolding drama and redirect our attention to something less shocking like what they did when Shenhe told her story to YunJin Flashback playthrough 10/10
Seeing Neuvillette smile at the end of the cutscene nearly made me cry. This is definitely my favourite story quest (along with Yoimiya’s second one). Like I love Neuvillette so much as a character :)
1:27:17 Before 4.2, I thought this was Furina's voice. I now understand that this was Focalors all along, setting Neuvillette on the path to empathy and compassion. He would ultimately be the one to forgive the sins of Fontainians because of it, thereby fulfilling Egeria's original justice. "You are a devious one, Focalors," hit so hard when I realised it.
that’s furina. despite amber lee conners voicing both furina and focalors, they sound very different and she does a wonderful job at portraying that and the differences between the two. at 1:27:17, especially when the voice starts talking, you can hear the chirpy, hopeful, curious and almost girlish kind of tone of voice that furina possesses (especially after act five) while focalors tone is a lot more graceful, elegant and maturer. imo, this voiceline sounds incredibly raw and human, which makes perfect sense because as we know furina is and has always been purely human. despite the fact focalors was indeed the one to invite neuvillette to the court of fontaine to serve as iudex, he would have never met her before act five, and she definitely would not have said this to him, i believe this was instead furina telling him this on their first day as colleagues together. had this voice gave off a different kind of tone and energy, i would have totally agreed with you. but this tone of voice can just only belong to furina
@@kittycatzapocalyse That would imply Furina knew of Neuvillette's ultimate role in the plan to save Fontaine from the prophecy, which is expressly not the case. There's no reason for Furina to say this to Neuvillette. Furthermore, there is also nothing that confirms that the speaker is even saying this _to_ Neuvillette at all. While Neuvillette may not have met Focalors, Focalors would have known of the reborn Hydro Dragon during her contemplation in the sea. Notice the tense she uses: "will" - future tense. All part of her plan. The plan that Furina was kept in the dark about. Focalors is the only one who has a reason to say the entire monologue. Furina doesn't. She couldn't.
Facts you missed out on this video: 1. If you speak to Clorinde when she's in front of Chiori's clothes shop with Kiara, you'll find out she's a huge simp for Kiara. How Clorinde is always busy all the time, but never missed an opportunity to have a beach vacation with Kiara (can't blame her tho, Kiara is so cute) 2. The secret basement under Wriothesley's office stayed open for us to find out that the gigantic ship is now no longer there after the archon quest, which is a cool lore. 3. This story quest shows you how Neuvillette can observe the memory through the rain, and this means that whenever you see the rain pouring down during any of the quests in Fontaine, Neuvillette is practically there observing everything. Much like Zhongli can see the memory through a rock, Neuvillette can see through the rain water. Hoyo didn't just make it rain randomly during any of the Fontaine quest, it was meant all along that Neuvillette would be there standing next to you with his judgement gaze (talk about some crazy Eren plot) 4. At the begin of the story quest, right after the conversation where Neuvillette said he would leave a note for Furina. If you do not read that specific note, then there will be an alternative ending conversation with Neuvilette at the end of the story quest which there will be no reply note from Furina on the table. In this scenario, instead of talking about Furina, Neuvillette will have a longer conversation with you about his final verdict on the purpose of his life/existence.
59:22 I really appreciate that Bran didn't directly teleport to the Palais and talked to the npcs by the fountain first, especially with these 2 gardes, its an important story detail that many content creators I've watched skipped/forgot
Chat joking abt how Zach finally gets a paycheck was so funny But legit, this is one of the best story quests ever, cried like four times, beautifully written and performed
Neuvi collecting the whole Fontaine cast in his story quest Also I ended up crying twice while going through his story quest brooo Neuvi’s too good of a character for us. I genuinely love him also the melosines during the quest were too adorable! ❤
To understand this story you must do world quest about Elynas the nice dragon who didn't realize that her self makes a pollution in fountain, Elynas has been killed by fountaininan Army about 500 years ago there and the melusine it self been born from the blood of Elynas
Non bias, i give this quest 20/10 so peaceful, yet so sad and beautiful. I actually cried one time 😅 and choked on my tea when Paimon finally shut up snd let Aether speak. Neuv smile was beautiful though, especially considering who he is
i also didn't realize the quest didn't have a single battle until someone complained on a tiktok video 😂. i was crying the entire time doing his quest 😭
this was one of the few story quests that actually made me so emotional. others were yoimiya’s (act 2), tighnari’s, lyney’s, and scara’s (interlude). genshin really knows how to pull at the heartstrings of genshin players and i’m one of their victims 😭.
Y'know, seeing story where a innocent Melusine having to game end herself all due to a misunderstanding, Carole didn't deserve this much pain and has broken Neuvillette's heart, Hoyoverse that is so dark.
For me my 3 fav story quest(not in specific order) : > Yoimiya 2nd Story Quest > Neuvillette Story Quest > Raiden 2nd Story Quest Special mention : Nahida 2nd story quest
As a note on the trial thing. There is always a trial event when a characters banner is up which means you are always able to test them out no matter what. So not having a trial in their story quest isnt exactly a negative. You cant get the character when the event trial isnt up anyways so i dont see how it would ever be a problem.
My point being you cant test a chatacter when their banner ISNT up to know if youd wanna save for them, example, i knew i wanted Eula at the start because of her story quest trial so i had time
This was one of if not the best story quest so far. The reaction of the Fontainians being hostile towards the Melusines was very realistic, however, the actions of the "Cowards" were completely wrong. Our opinion on the Melusines was definitely biased because we got to know them in a good light and found them adorable, however for the Fontainians what they saw was Neuvilette was a newly appointed Chief Justice who started new major reforms and introduced a new race by also giving them official important jobs/positions, the rumors of coming from calamity didn't help either. It's like if we had a new President who introduced new laws and changed important ones as well while giving jobs and positions like law enforcement only to new specific individuals, there will be a lot of doubt and questions about corruption.
This story quest is extremely lively, honestly i love the fact that Story Quest are now involving a lot of playable characters interacting with each other, but still focused on the main subject of the character. I love it soo much
There is one other thing that came to me during this quest, nothing serious rather a bit amusing. Imagine Fontaine had a weather forecast. Whoever that poor person would be must apologise probably daily for saying the wrong things 😂 "Today the sky is clear and blue, not a single cloud anywhere. This will be a fine and sunny day...." And a second later it starts raining just for it to end again another 5 mins later 😂
I thought this quest would lead us to a dungeon with a boss fight while getting to trial Neuvellette but it went deep into his backstory, which is something alot of genshin character stories unfortunately lack. It was a warm welcome. This quest also dealt with realistic matters like suicide, racism and revenge and seeing the way the characters tackled the situation was very interesting. It made them feel more real. The ending to this quest almost made me cry... almost. Ironic how I havent cried in yrs but was close to crying on the quest about a man who pretty much created water 😅
1:06:35 I completely agree. Neuvillette as Lyney, Clorinde as Lynette, Wriothesley as Freminet. I was crying from the moment Vautrin decided to take revenge for Carole until the end of the quest (I'm normally not that emotional but here I am, bawling my eyes out).
If Arlecchino grew up in Fontaine and Neuvillette had been the chief justice for at least 400 years. Why'd it sound like Lyney was describing Neuvillette to her as if she doesn't know anything about him 🤔
My theory is that she’s not from Fontaine and is just putting on an act honestly…it’ll fit very well with her ‘wolf in sheep’s clothing’ description by donning the role of a fontanian
@@ToscaTee That's possible but from her expression it looked like she was thinking about what to do with Lyney's info before telling him to watch Neuvillette
I don't think she grew up in Fontaine, she might be the one of the stolen children in the House of the Hearth. She is from Fontaine, but probably grew up in Snezhnaya and only recently went back and recruted Lyney, Lynette and Freminet.
This quest was the best character quest than any other character's quest I played Reasons: 1) Clorinde 2) Navia 3) Wriothesley 4) emotional 5) justice for racism 6) Aether talks
This story is without a doubt one of my fav with a incredible cutscene, it just raw emotion and a message that not seen a lot in stories, not a lot happens but that the point of it, it sweet story as we seen before how time can damage things, how all we lose all that fade away with time and change but this story reminds us that good thing can come with time and things can change for the better
When it comes to this story quest in terms of the theme of prejudice and hate, it really hits home for me since I can relate to their situation where I had trouble fitting in. And also this story quest, can be a box office movie in itself cause the storytelling is ABSOLUTELY TOP NOTCH as always. With that said, I absolutely loved this story quest a lot and ngl it really got me emotional too 😢
man now that you mentioned it, yea it has no combat at all, goodness me its so good i didnt even notice that at all in fact you barely do anything, all you do in this quest is just watch. thats a tell tale sign of a good story
It was such a good quest. I enjoyed how we could see Neuvillette's past and how the society changed its opinion about Melusines. Although, to be honest, if Carol jumped in front of me like that, I'd scream in terror and kick her; I read too many horror books to not be terrified if an alien appeared in front of me. You can not force yourself onto other people; whoever told Melusines to pester people like Carol did in that quest, should re-think their decision.
His quest is really one of my favorites right now and it really increased my interest in him as a character and made me love him more, since I wasn't really that interested in him before as a character before (as a character NOT lore and background, I mean he is sovereign, you would normally be interested in his background😗), but now I am really growing fonder of his character as a person (or dragon🙂). This story guest swiftly takes a position between my top 5 favorite story quests, just its hard to rank. And the ending cutscene was just the greatest
One of the best story quest for me. It is bitter sweet and it show what kind of person Neuvillette really is. I also like Wriothesley, he is smart and kind. His dynamic with Neuvillete are like siblings 😆
I finish the Fontaine Archon Quest, Furina, Navia and Neuvilette quests last weekend. My heart was pulled to tears to most of the story. 1:29:58 - For some reason I was imagining Charlotte foaming like Fray from Futurama were he receive a lot a money.
27:00 true, all water tastes different, even two waters of the same source taste different if carbonated (also if the carbonation has gone flat, another different taste.) i've spend ages sampling all my towns store bought bottled water (basically went through all the stores), to find one that suits my tastes.
For your question about there being other story quests being more "lively", I noticed this in Baizhu's was the first! There was Qiqi, Hu Tao, and a few other NPCs and it felt a lot more immersive rather than anything else. Continuing this feels so nice and it makes it seem like the character matters to the region more than the character matters to themselves.
I am sooooo happy that I won my 50/50 on his banner. Wasn't sure at first to pull or not but after all it was the best decision I have made in that game by pulling for a character. I love all of him. If you still don't know if you want to pull for him or not... let me help you: DO IT! 😁

We?
Who's we?
Definitely one of the best story quests. You know it's serious when Zach gets paid. His and Baizhu's SQs are great, dark, and gut wrenching.
I Personally did not like Baizhu quest. But that's might be because I was not invested into any character in it. It was a good quality into introducing the character and his backstory. But it didn't Hit the Mark for me.
The new story quests are getting better and better. This and Baizhu's Story Quests are my favorite, along with Alhaitham (only because of Kaveh and Haitham's bickering at the end).

The fact that Furina was acting for 500 years and Neuvillette came in 400 years ago means she was acting alone *FOR* *A* *CENTURY*
I don't get why people are always so "oh no npcs are a part of someone story quest." Isn't it more natural that we see how characters interact with normal people? And we get a lot of characterization through these interactions. For example Ayatos Quest. It was a really fitting quest for his character.
I think Wriothesley story quest will have a lot to do with NPCs too because we met so many in the fortress but i think that is not a bad thing if we learn through them more of the playable character. it doesn't always need action but i will be really suprised if Wriothesley doesn't throw a few punches in his quest :D
Nah, the bad rap comes from how they're written and how much spotlight they take compared to who the story is supposed to be about. I'd give examples, but I don't remember most story quests anymore.
I just remember hating Yelan's story quest cuz it wasn't as cool or interesting as I thought going in.
@@AmethystLeslienilou's story quest comes to mind
girl became a supporting background character in her own sq 😅
No I think the character sq should be about character background their struggle bc this the way you get close to a character.
@@Tiyac3 but not every character has a interesting or tragic backstory that could be explored. I think character interactons are much more interesting than just getting told "yeah that is my sad backstory." in the interactions between different characters you can see a lot what makes a person. How they solve different problems, how they see themself and others around them.
thats why i like Alhaithams so much. We don't talk a lot about his background but the way he interacted with other people was really interesting to me.
@@zillo1600 I think you are from Hoyoverse that's why you like the NPC storys in character story
Hands down the best cutscene ever
Mihoyo's not afraid with giving their audiences a barrage of straight-up gut punch and a roller-coaster of emotions in-between, The moment Kiara saw carole in her dreams, is the moment that I couldn't hold it anymore. Well done mihoyo, well done.
Neuvillette is so adorable and awesome! I didn't regret to pull for him! Also, in the spiral abyss, he is sooooo helpful with the freeze team. Love playing him! ^_^
Also, this story quest is one of a kind of amazing and sad at the same time. I suddenly remember Tighnari's story quest and I thought that was the saddest one for me but Neuvillette's story makes me teared up even more 😭😭😭
I love that we were not only told how badly melusines were perceived at first, but also shown the real events with real characters, nice
Besides, there was no Paimon to interrupt the unfolding drama and redirect our attention to something less shocking like what they did when Shenhe told her story to YunJin
Flashback playthrough 10/10
Neuvillette and Wriothesley are precious characters I swear...I found myself laughing through the two quests
Seeing Neuvillette smile at the end of the cutscene nearly made me cry. This is definitely my favourite story quest (along with Yoimiya’s second one). Like I love Neuvillette so much as a character :)
It's so precious istg
If someone tells me don’t cry while I’m crying I’ll just cry harder. Sad beautiful dragon 😢
1:27:17 Before 4.2, I thought this was Furina's voice.
I now understand that this was Focalors all along, setting Neuvillette on the path to empathy and compassion. He would ultimately be the one to forgive the sins of Fontainians because of it, thereby fulfilling Egeria's original justice.
"You are a devious one, Focalors," hit so hard when I realised it.
Neuvillette never met focalors before tho
@@anihan8848 No one said the voice at the end was directly talking to Neuvillette. Just the narrator for us the viewers.
that’s furina. despite amber lee conners voicing both furina and focalors, they sound very different and she does a wonderful job at portraying that and the differences between the two. at 1:27:17, especially when the voice starts talking, you can hear the chirpy, hopeful, curious and almost girlish kind of tone of voice that furina possesses (especially after act five) while focalors tone is a lot more graceful, elegant and maturer. imo, this voiceline sounds incredibly raw and human, which makes perfect sense because as we know furina is and has always been purely human. despite the fact focalors was indeed the one to invite neuvillette to the court of fontaine to serve as iudex, he would have never met her before act five, and she definitely would not have said this to him, i believe this was instead furina telling him this on their first day as colleagues together. had this voice gave off a different kind of tone and energy, i would have totally agreed with you. but this tone of voice can just only belong to furina
@@kittycatzapocalyse That would imply Furina knew of Neuvillette's ultimate role in the plan to save Fontaine from the prophecy, which is expressly not the case. There's no reason for Furina to say this to Neuvillette. Furthermore, there is also nothing that confirms that the speaker is even saying this _to_ Neuvillette at all.
While Neuvillette may not have met Focalors, Focalors would have known of the reborn Hydro Dragon during her contemplation in the sea. Notice the tense she uses: "will" - future tense. All part of her plan. The plan that Furina was kept in the dark about.
Focalors is the only one who has a reason to say the entire monologue. Furina doesn't. She couldn't.
Facts you missed out on this video:
1. If you speak to Clorinde when she's in front of Chiori's clothes shop with Kiara, you'll find out she's a huge simp for Kiara. How Clorinde is always busy all the time, but never missed an opportunity to have a beach vacation with Kiara (can't blame her tho, Kiara is so cute)
2. The secret basement under Wriothesley's office stayed open for us to find out that the gigantic ship is now no longer there after the archon quest, which is a cool lore.
3. This story quest shows you how Neuvillette can observe the memory through the rain, and this means that whenever you see the rain pouring down during any of the quests in Fontaine, Neuvillette is practically there observing everything. Much like Zhongli can see the memory through a rock, Neuvillette can see through the rain water. Hoyo didn't just make it rain randomly during any of the Fontaine quest, it was meant all along that Neuvillette would be there standing next to you with his judgement gaze (talk about some crazy Eren plot)
4. At the begin of the story quest, right after the conversation where Neuvillette said he would leave a note for Furina. If you do not read that specific note, then there will be an alternative ending conversation with Neuvilette at the end of the story quest which there will be no reply note from Furina on the table. In this scenario, instead of talking about Furina, Neuvillette will have a longer conversation with you about his final verdict on the purpose of his life/existence.
59:22 I really appreciate that Bran didn't directly teleport to the Palais and talked to the npcs by the fountain first, especially with these 2 gardes, its an important story detail that many content creators I've watched skipped/forgot
Thats why hes the best
Chat joking abt how Zach finally gets a paycheck was so funny
But legit, this is one of the best story quests ever, cried like four times, beautifully written and performed
Neuvi collecting the whole Fontaine cast in his story quest
Also I ended up crying twice while going through his story quest brooo Neuvi’s too good of a character for us. I genuinely love him also the melosines during the quest were too adorable! ❤
A masterclass of a story quest imo. A mix of lore, character exploration and development.
This hit my soul in a way that can only be described as riveting but heartbreaking.
To understand this story you must do world quest about Elynas the nice dragon who didn't realize that her self makes a pollution in fountain, Elynas has been killed by fountaininan Army about 500 years ago there and the melusine it self been born from the blood of Elynas
what are talking about😂
Non bias, i give this quest 20/10 so peaceful, yet so sad and beautiful. I actually cried one time 😅 and choked on my tea when Paimon finally shut up snd let Aether speak. Neuv smile was beautiful though, especially considering who he is
i also didn't realize the quest didn't have a single battle until someone complained on a tiktok video 😂. i was crying the entire time doing his quest 😭
His smile at the end of the cutscene
omg hoyoverse almost made me cry when i did neuvilettes story it was too heart wrenching. I love his story quest so much. its my favorite by far ❤
I just wanna hug him 😭🩵
this was one of the few story quests that actually made me so emotional. others were yoimiya’s (act 2), tighnari’s, lyney’s, and scara’s (interlude). genshin really knows how to pull at the heartstrings of genshin players and i’m one of their victims 😭.
50:10 the sad moment ruined now 🥲
What would’ve made Neuvillette’s “Wriothesley” scolding even better is if Wriothesley turned to the him and winked with a smirk.
Y'know, seeing story where a innocent Melusine having to game end herself all due to a misunderstanding, Carole didn't deserve this much pain and has broken Neuvillette's heart, Hoyoverse that is so dark.
Neuvillets, Baizhus and Tighnaris story quest are the only ones making me cry, they're also my top three story quest.... maybe I like to cry? lmao
My man Neuvilette didn't even speak in that cutscene but it was so good and emotional
For me my 3 fav story quest(not in specific order) :
> Yoimiya 2nd Story Quest
> Neuvillette Story Quest
> Raiden 2nd Story Quest
Special mention : Nahida 2nd story quest
Raiden story sucks bro
@@gus6327not true, like sure her first story quest is bad but her second story quest is one of the best story quests in the game
You suck btw f§§k you how about them apples@@gus6327
Mine is
Childe
Yoimiya 2nd
Neuvilatte
Ayaka
I'll be happy if they add some story about our mc.
for me its those four and baizhu story quest, so fucking good man
As a note on the trial thing. There is always a trial event when a characters banner is up which means you are always able to test them out no matter what. So not having a trial in their story quest isnt exactly a negative. You cant get the character when the event trial isnt up anyways so i dont see how it would ever be a problem.
My point being you cant test a chatacter when their banner ISNT up to know if youd wanna save for them, example, i knew i wanted Eula at the start because of her story quest trial so i had time
@@BranOnlinei think that they have don this because they will use neuvillette against the abyssal whale instead of furina
I really hope that is a guess and not a leak on what we will be fighting, otherwise i really dislike you.@@massimilianoreali4398
Alhaitham, Dehya, Baizhu, Lyney and now Neuvillette. The story quests and their animations are improving. 👍
I literally cried on this. Neuvillette made me cry. Yet another character to love and protect.
This was one of if not the best story quest so far.
The reaction of the Fontainians being hostile towards the Melusines was very realistic, however, the actions of the "Cowards" were completely wrong. Our opinion on the Melusines was definitely biased because we got to know them in a good light and found them adorable, however for the Fontainians what they saw was Neuvilette was a newly appointed Chief Justice who started new major reforms and introduced a new race by also giving them official important jobs/positions, the rumors of coming from calamity didn't help either. It's like if we had a new President who introduced new laws and changed important ones as well while giving jobs and positions like law enforcement only to new specific individuals, there will be a lot of doubt and questions about corruption.
This story quest is extremely lively, honestly i love the fact that Story Quest are now involving a lot of playable characters interacting with each other, but still focused on the main subject of the character. I love it soo much
There is one other thing that came to me during this quest, nothing serious rather a bit amusing. Imagine Fontaine had a weather forecast. Whoever that poor person would be must apologise probably daily for saying the wrong things 😂
"Today the sky is clear and blue, not a single cloud anywhere. This will be a fine and sunny day...."
And a second later it starts raining just for it to end again another 5 mins later 😂
I thought this quest would lead us to a dungeon with a boss fight while getting to trial Neuvellette but it went deep into his backstory, which is something alot of genshin character stories unfortunately lack. It was a warm welcome. This quest also dealt with realistic matters like suicide, racism and revenge and seeing the way the characters tackled the situation was very interesting. It made them feel more real. The ending to this quest almost made me cry... almost. Ironic how I havent cried in yrs but was close to crying on the quest about a man who pretty much created water 😅
They are keen recently on killing NPCs, its only a matter of time until characters.
true that, feels like they're teasing us letting us know that they can do it and that they would
Baizhu....Childe....👀
@@shakespeareangentleman ...they will start with an NPC that any playable characters are close with
La signiora xd
Probably not until the endgame of Genshin where it's an all out war between Abyss Order, Celestia, Tsaritsa and Fatui, And the people of teyvat
i always cry at the cutscene here, the music and the emotions...
I've been waiting for your reaction to this omg, I'm gonna rewatch this for a few days for sure!
Love your reactions on the quests!
1:06:35 I completely agree. Neuvillette as Lyney, Clorinde as Lynette, Wriothesley as Freminet.
I was crying from the moment Vautrin decided to take revenge for Carole until the end of the quest (I'm normally not that emotional but here I am, bawling my eyes out).
If Arlecchino grew up in Fontaine and Neuvillette had been the chief justice for at least 400 years. Why'd it sound like Lyney was describing Neuvillette to her as if she doesn't know anything about him 🤔
My theory is that she’s not from Fontaine and is just putting on an act honestly…it’ll fit very well with her ‘wolf in sheep’s clothing’ description by donning the role of a fontanian
Maybe she was asking what lyney thinks about him?
@@ToscaTee oooh I never thought about that! Also works ngl
@@ToscaTee That's possible but from her expression it looked like she was thinking about what to do with Lyney's info before telling him to watch Neuvillette
I don't think she grew up in Fontaine, she might be the one of the stolen children in the House of the Hearth. She is from Fontaine, but probably grew up in Snezhnaya and only recently went back and recruted Lyney, Lynette and Freminet.
This quest was the best character quest than any other character's quest I played
Reasons:
1) Clorinde
2) Navia
3) Wriothesley
4) emotional
5) justice for racism
6) Aether talks
They should add aether speak it's really cool when they talk
This story is without a doubt one of my fav with a incredible cutscene, it just raw emotion and a message that not seen a lot in stories, not a lot happens but that the point of it, it sweet story as we seen before how time can damage things, how all we lose all that fade away with time and change but this story reminds us that good thing can come with time and things can change for the better
Man, this quest, no matter how many times i watch it, will always make me cry like a bitch
I can't get over the totally over-the-top movement of the melusines. It's so wholesome and fuzzy. XD
When it comes to this story quest in terms of the theme of prejudice and hate, it really hits home for me since I can relate to their situation where I had trouble fitting in. And also this story quest, can be a box office movie in itself cause the storytelling is ABSOLUTELY TOP NOTCH as always. With that said, I absolutely loved this story quest a lot and ngl it really got me emotional too 😢
man now that you mentioned it, yea it has no combat at all, goodness me its so good i didnt even notice that at all
in fact you barely do anything, all you do in this quest is just watch. thats a tell tale sign of a good story
29:50 an opportunity like that does seem quite hard to come by so I'm happy we were able to amuse him
It's reminds me childe
Every cutscene with neuvillette is so sad 🥺
It was such a good quest. I enjoyed how we could see Neuvillette's past and how the society changed its opinion about Melusines. Although, to be honest, if Carol jumped in front of me like that, I'd scream in terror and kick her; I read too many horror books to not be terrified if an alien appeared in front of me. You can not force yourself onto other people; whoever told Melusines to pester people like Carol did in that quest, should re-think their decision.
His quest is really one of my favorites right now and it really increased my interest in him as a character and made me love him more, since I wasn't really that interested in him before as a character before (as a character NOT lore and background, I mean he is sovereign, you would normally be interested in his background😗), but now I am really growing fonder of his character as a person (or dragon🙂). This story guest swiftly takes a position between my top 5 favorite story quests, just its hard to rank. And the ending cutscene was just the greatest
Furina’s letter at the end… yeah now I’m convinced the way she is is just an elaborate act
One of the best story quest for me. It is bitter sweet and it show what kind of person Neuvillette really is.
I also like Wriothesley, he is smart and kind. His dynamic with Neuvillete are like siblings 😆
Now I'm happy i got him... TWICE
Neuvillette truly is the father to the melusines.
1:26:51 It reminds me of Reiner (Lyney) informing Zeke (Arlecchino) that he should be careful about Levi (Neuvillette).
the fact that levi's jp va is the same as neuvillette's makes it even better
I finish the Fontaine Archon Quest, Furina, Navia and Neuvilette quests last weekend.
My heart was pulled to tears to most of the story.
1:29:58 - For some reason I was imagining Charlotte foaming like Fray from Futurama were he receive a lot a money.
27:00 true, all water tastes different, even two waters of the same source taste different if carbonated (also if the carbonation has gone flat, another different taste.)
i've spend ages sampling all my towns store bought bottled water (basically went through all the stores), to find one that suits my tastes.
1:24:37
I saw someone comment, "Zach got his paycheck." 😂
I always love watching Bran’s reaction to Genshin/HSR quests. I hope he posts the quests from the poetry event 🥺
Neuvillette is so elegant love how he like to drink water 😂😂
Im not crying..
You're crying..
1:27
Neuvillette: **intense war flashbacks**
This story quest makes me want to hug Neuvillette. ❤
God this quest takes you through the whole spectrum of emotions😢
Neuvillete sounds like ALBERT WESKER❤❤ and when he cry or sad it rains 😢
I was waiting for Bran’s this video since 4.1. My fav Genshin youtuber
Very true…. Heartbreaking and beautiful.
Aqua Bus guide's lines fit SO WELL into this quest when you travel from the city to court and back.
For your question about there being other story quests being more "lively", I noticed this in Baizhu's was the first! There was Qiqi, Hu Tao, and a few other NPCs and it felt a lot more immersive rather than anything else. Continuing this feels so nice and it makes it seem like the character matters to the region more than the character matters to themselves.
the last part made me tear up and cry a bit. hydro dragon hydro dragon don't cry! and at the last moment you can see a slight smile on his face.
I want the background piano theme in the cutscene sounds so good
I am sooooo happy that I won my 50/50 on his banner. Wasn't sure at first to pull or not but after all it was the best decision I have made in that game by pulling for a character. I love all of him. If you still don't know if you want to pull for him or not... let me help you: DO IT! 😁
Thats true you just made me realised that there were no battle during the quest XD
Furina's letter at the end was a rare case of her NOT being a girlfailure
Doing this after the elynas quest made sob like a baby istg
