i knew hes gon disappear once i finish the quest. so before i left him, i made him meet all of my acquired characters. it's the most i can do to at least canon-ise him meeting other people outside tsurumi island
So he realised that he was killed so many times in the looping ceremony? But he still try his best to find a way to make the ceremony goes well and the island didn't end up being destroyed. This is the saddest story so far :"(
@@grecco4037 there’s a dialog in the quest that said Ruu sacrificed himself for the thunderbird. she got angry because she thought the villagers killed innocent child and rage
At the end of this quest when Paimon asked Ruu to join the adventuring with them Ruu said that he's happy but he feel tire so he want to rest. In his heart he aware that his time has come and he fully accept it but at least his promise now fulfilled This Tsurumi quest is a tragedy of misunderstanding Anyway I hope to see Kama and Lady Sumida again after they decided to set foot on journey.... maybe we will meet them in Natlan or Snehznaya
Yeah, it's such a bitter-sweet ending for an area that had wronged a single kid. I'm loving the ost of Tsurumi and Ruu's song hit the hardest man... T_T I won't hold my breath if Sumeru's world quest would reach this height or we would meet identical stuff back in Mondstat or Liyue(after Gouba's history of course). Much I hate Mihoyo Genshin dev on small nitpicks, they done incredible feat creating this game.
@@shock2063 Spoil!: .. . . . . . . Yes! I think this time he's gone for real, he actually dead a thousand years ago in the 'last' ceremony but the raging power of thunderbird and the wills of Ruu cause an eternal looping phenomenal of the last ceremony in this island to repeat what was happened that time and the struggle of Ruu to hold this ceremony that he thought will make everyone and thunderbird happy when his promise was fulfilled and the power of thunderbird start fading away there's no power or phenomenal that can keep Ruu to appear in this world now
He didn't deserve it, but he still died, long ago. This... This is him and Kapatcir finally getting their eternal rest, with no more burdens left to chain them to the mortal plain.
@@AxelFeitz true.. i'm glad we can put them to rest. i always imagine ruu singing to the thunderbird in the heavens above.. now ruu doesn't have to suffer and kapatcir doesn't have to grief anymore
"these humans have wiped out your existence, then shall I wipe theirs. *You promised* " Some line from the Thunderbird, at least the foolish tribespeople there got what they have coming, even if they're clueless : P
I just finished this world quest and as I'm typing this, still crying... After talking to Sumida and Kama I went back to Mt. Kanna and HE'S NO LONGER THERE. I just stood there for 5 minutes to pay some respects to his beautiful soul even though we still have him with us through the feather. This beats all the World Quests in Genshin so far for me. 2nd is Kazari's.
Inazuma sure trounced all over Liyue and Mond with just Kazari and Ruu. Probably, to compensate for dogshit archon quest it had. They could've milked it for a couple more patches, but nah, let's rush it to the end. Doesn't feel satisfactory even for Ei, the character with the most amount of time.
@@AxelFeitz Unfortunately they had to end it like this cause the Ei's banner and the fact that Inazuma Archon quest already have a 4 chapter's. I hope they give us Ei's second storyquest in the future with more in depth lore of Inazuma's past and her.
I did as well. I went back to Mt. Kanna hoping Ruu would be there. I actually cried on this quest and so far, my favorite World Quest. It has the feels.
@@codeunknown2761 They're limiting themselves with only 3-4 chapters that's the problem. If only they took their time to make the inazuma arc longer so they could show us all the lore this region has to offer and give justice to characters like Kokomi, the archon quest wouldn't have become dogshit. Kokomi's banner should've come first given how the beach battle ended and the Traveler went to Watatsumi. But they're so greedy with money so they put Raiden first (who had more fanservice in her design, and that Booba sword enticed a lot of degens to pay and roll for her).
*Deconstructed Thundering Fury Lore* The Thunderbird soared through the thunderstorms, raining down purple thunder and rain. Ancient tribes feared its powers and thanked it for its blessings. Shamans were chosen to offer blood sacrifices to it for protection and forgiveness. In the seasons when the Thunderbird flew amidst the stormy mountains, a young lad sang without fear. On one gloomy night, it shared a pure friendship with the lad. Attracted to his voice, the prideful Thunderbird landed by his side. "Curious tunes, tiny human. Afraid not of thunder and storms?” The young lad paused and answered, "They said I can bring peace to thunder and storms.” The Thunderbird cried but kept its silence, for his was an enchanting song. It was the first and last meeting between the Thunderbird and the young boy. The ancient tribe held the Thunderbird as its protector. But it rained down thunder upon the tribe. For the next he saw of the boy was when his blood filled the golden goblet on the sacrificial altar. They made their offerings, waiting for the Thunderbird to reveal the oracles. However, what descended with the Thunderbird was the lightning of destruction. In the last festival the tribe held, the frenzied Thunderbird blew away the bloodstained altar, the countdown to the tribe's destruction. The Thunderbird showed its true nature, wiping the tribe from the face of the earth. The Thunderbird decimated the tribe to avenge the one who sang to it. For the transgression against the young lad who sang to it, the sentence was total obliteration. Unbeknownst the Thunderbird, the lad himself considered his sacrifice as an offering - all for the good of the tribe... for the blessing of the Thunderbird. _I shall sing you another tune, when you come again with thunder and rain._ Driven to madness by the remorse of a promise unkept, the Thunderbird left the mountain in cinders. It was hunted down years after, slain as a monster. Years passed, the burned land revitalized. The story of the Thunderbird and the young lad had all but perished with the tribe. The Thunderbird was still a monster that cared not for the worship of mankind. They knew it not, and regarded the unpredictable actions of the Thunderbird as divine revelations. Yet thunder was its breath, as were the fates of men. From the sky, men were no different from animals... until one day, a song pierced through the roaring thunderstorm. The song ripped through the clouds, and bestowed upon it, light.
Ruu hits differently... In Tomo's case it's more of a sympathy to our friend Kazuha, we resonated with his feelings and intentions at that time For Teppei, it feels as if his death is woven by fate, we were helpless t that time and felt complicated and all that directed to anger for the fatui But this... It was all in the past, intertwined with the present. We were helpless and unable to change the past. However, we managed to bring past to a closure and it brings a feeling of melancholy and acceptance The moment was extremely short-lived but will bw remembered by us long after this. I hope Ruu will make an appearance sometime in the future. I will wait as long as I play this game
This was better than the 2.2 story quest 💯. The 2.2 quest pacing was so fast and it shifts from a slow world building world development to a all out battle with most scenes being so unnecessary and plot holes
And a lot of it being info dumps, telling without showing as well as just throwing away characters we thought were going to play a huge roll but instead just said a few things and that was it (I'm looking at you kokomi and ayaka)
@@pheohunch9737 an npc (Teppei) got more screen time than yoimiya , ayaka , kokomi , Gorou and Sara not to mention they assassinated a character that had so much potential and the death didn’t even have an impact on the plot except that she’s just not there anymore.
The saddest part here is that paimon and mc made a lie to ruu despite knowing the fact that the thunderbird is already dead. Surprisingly, the feather appeared and it really cut onions into my friggin eyes.
Because he is a kid. You can't tell a kid about the death of someone or something (in this case, Kapatchir) to such a kid. Even if it's a truth. Perhaps you have to wait the right time
@@wanderer473i disagree, I’ve always believed in honesty even as a child. False hope hurts more than the truth because you don’t have to waste your time if you know the truth
I love the fact that they added in Ruu's Theme in Tsurumi Island after you finish the quest. Was really surprised when I heard it while AFKing in Tsurumi Island lmao
he wasn't alone in some luckily.. the travelers and those who got commissioned by the novelist all talked to Ruu. Ruu also mentioned he had the idea of letting those outsiders do the ritual to see if it would make a difference.
After doing the aranara quest, this hits different. Since Paimon mentioned that Ruu and Arama will be a good friend, I'm sure they will. Both of them made a great sacrifice. Also everything with lalala always hurt
I literally teared up watching this. The relationship between ruu and the thunderbird is so amazing. ❤️😢I wish I can listen to the whole song. Love the story in tsurumi island! ❤️
The cutscene at 1:02 was beautiful. It was one of the basic in-game cutscenes, not one of the cinematic animations like in the character and archon quests. But the visual effects, cinematography, and even Ruu's model movements are on par with the animated scenes. It's a huge step up from what we've gotten in world quests before. At this rate, we'll get animations for the regular world quests XD
When you realize that you've been redoing the Sabseruz festival Samsara quest for so many times, but forget most things so it wouldn't feel that long. But here Ruu is living the same event for who knows how many years.
Ruu is officially my favorite NPC in the whole entire game. He's really adorable not gonna lie and his voice is soft and relaxing to listen to. I hope there will be a full version f his song so I can play it while I sleep in peace.
its sad that he had already passed away even before we met him t~t he was sacrificed and the island folks used his blood as an offering to the thunderbird, when all she wanted was to hear him sing :((( it also hurts more when the goblet in the thundering fury set was the cup they had used to store ruu's blood
When I first met Ruu and knew what he was doing, I said to myself, he will be sacrificed to the thunderbird isn't he? Funny how you can be right and wrong at the same time. Best side quest in GI (Emotionally).
Ruu is the best NPC with the saddest story of all NPC in Genshin! This quest made me cry. Poor little boy. But he and Kapatcir got to rest in peace in the end, that's just nice. Two friends, reunited even after death. Genshin did a good job and I think Ruu will stay in our hearts.
From Thunder Summoner's Crown: 'Until one day a song pierced through the roaring thunderstorm. The song ripped through the clouds, and bestowed upon it, light.' Thats one long game you played, Mihoyo. And I loved it.
blame the toxic players who always demands new content or regions. they obviously rushed the archon quest to satisfy the community and beside this story has been hinted since the beginning of the game with thundering fury artifact set
@@iamthethebeginningiamtheen9555 yes it’s not the writers fault, it’s the pressure from the community that they have to released Inazuma earlier than their planning. i think this is also why they released the islands separately
At the 30 years old a game who makes you cry is very rare, when you're younger a lot of game scenes makes you sentimental, but since a lot of years i didn't cry because a game. I dont care if Mihoyo takes his time doing content as long they continue with the quality.
I remember completing this quest at 2AM. Alone wearing my headphone. The shivers and chill runs through my back. And then warm feeling burst out. To think this game is free is somewhat unreal... Cuz, I had to pay to watch movies only to disappoint me again and again....
*me when i started the quest:* mihoyo pls don't kill ruu *mihoyo during the quest:* guess what, he's already dead i will never recover from this quest and exploring this island will be painful 💀
For some reason this song (which is potentially AMAZING) reminded me of the Dragon Spine song, Genshin every day surpassing himself with his sonic songs, even though the song doesn't have a lyric per se. Even though the song doesn't have lyrics in itself, only yours still sounds incredibly beautiful
Funnily enough, the first half of Ruu’s song has the same basic harmonic structure as Moonlike Smile from Dragonspine. It goes to show you how Yu-Peng Chen can make two pieces from a similar framework and still make them sound distinctive and recognizable
This is the saddest yet best quest storyline in Inazuma for me. That baby deserved so much better 😭😭😭😭😭 Glad he got to fulfill his promise to Kapatcir in the end ❤
INAZUMA REALLY IS THE BEST REGION FOR NOW!! In terms of visual environment, diverse nature, cool mobs (Samurai, Ronin, Tsurumi Wolves), archon quest, story quest (especially: Ayaka & Yoimiya), world quest, lore, and character development. Change my mind!
@@vino-k5650 yeah it's debatable. But for me, Inazuma still my favorite overall even tho' the archon quest plot is sucks, it has many political conflict that makes the story interesting and there are so many action there clashing between 3 faction (the Shogunate, the Resistance, and the Fatui). Just bad at the execution
For me Liyue's main story is still the best, Inazuma one has no definitive conclusion and everything suddenly stop with no consequences, at the end of the day Baal doesn't show any charcter development after realizing her mistakes and just return to her "bubble" again. For visual Mondstadt is still winning, Inazuma is pretty but its color palette really hurt my eyes and I often need some break in the mid of quest because I felt a little sick if I play too long. But for world quest story wise, I agree Inazuma has the best.
rewatching this.. now that i think about it.. it’s a good thing that there’s no voicelines.. or else my heart will break even in my dreams. it’s so haunting 😭
🌸❤"If we should meet again, then let's do so where the sunset meets the sea. Then, I'll see if your soul, which shines so clearly like a diamond, has had any dust laid upon it or not."❤🌸 -Sumida : "The Vagabond Novice: Yamabuki Iro no Houroutan"
i like to think that ruu didn't actually die, he's just sleeping for now and one day he'll have enough energy to travel with us. give me more of that copium now
This, the Old Man and his sons in Liyue quest and The Cleansing Ritual quest made me cry so much that i couldnt even be happy when i got primogens...i was low on primogems at that time
I did a commission on tsurumi island and heard this as the background song... And I felt the nostalgia :'(..glad ruu can finally rest and I hope the traveler won't lose the feather as he/she promised
Remember that Ruu's death was horrible in one of the artifact sets (the thundering storm i think is called, idk but it's one with bonuses for electro) is mentioned and in the Chinese Version one part says that they cut his tongue
Since nobody is mentioning it in the comments here, Ruu and Kapatcir's story/tragedy is the story mentioned in Thundering Fury's Lore, I'll quote some here. Thundering Fury 1. Thunderbird's Mercy: "It witnessed the total decimation of the ancient tribe. They made their offerings, waiting for the Thunderbird to reveal the oracles. However, what descended with the Thunderbird, was the lightning of destruction. For the transgression against the young lad who sang to it, the sentence was total obliteration." Straightforward enough, the flower witnessed the tsurumi island's destruction, because they had sacrificed Ruu. 2. Survivor of Catastrophe "On one gloomy night, it shared a pure friendship with the lad. Once it departed, the lad picked up the feather it dropped. "I shall sing you another tune, When you come again with thunder and rain." Driven to madness by the remorse of a promise unkept, The Thunderbird left the mountain in cinders. It was hunted down years after, slain as a monster." Here I feel like this feather is actually the one we touched in the quest where we saw Ruu's first conversation and naming of Kapatcir, and the promise he made. Also the slayer of Kapatcir mentioned here seems to be the wearer of the Thundersoother artifact set owner, separate from Ruu. 3. Hourglass of Thunder "The Thunderbird decimated the tribe to avenge the one who sang to it. Unbeknownst the Thunderbird, the lad himself considered his sacrifice as an offering, All for the good of the tribe, for the blessing of the Thunderbird." Here is where the biggest misunderstanding is at. Kapatcir believes that they had sacrificed Ruu, but in actuality, Ruu gladly sacrifice himself. And he would gladly do it again for the next thousand of years. 4. Omen of Thunderstorm "In the seasons when the Thunderbird flew amidst the stormy mountains, a young lad sang without fear. Attracted to his voice, the prideful Thunderbird landed by his side. "Curious tunes, tiny human. Afraid not of thunder and storms? "They said I can bring peace to thunder and storms". ... It was the first and last meeting between the Thunderbird and the young boy. For the next she saw of the boy was when his blood filled the golden goblet on the sacrificial altar." This is when the actual sacrifice happened. We never got to actually see Ruu sacrificing himself or how the sacrifice works, but the description here explains it just enough for us to draw our own conclusion, for a child's blood to fill the cup to the brim as quick as possible, how large of a cut do you think Ruu had to suffer, and where that cut would be? and he did it again and again for the next thousand of lightning strikes. 5. Thunder Summoner's Crown "Until one day a song pierced through the roaring thunderstorm. The song ripped through the clouds, and bestowed upon it, light." It's more of a recollection of Kapatcir and Ruu's meeting again, but more about how Kapatcir changed her view of humans because of Ruu's song.
This was a really dark quest when you think about the ceremony ... but despite all that... you HAVE to admire Genshin's audio design. It's just stunning!!! This song, lantern rite ... its absolutely amazing. Bravo.

So he realised that he was killed so many times in the looping ceremony? But he still try his best to find a way to make the ceremony goes well and the island didn't end up being destroyed.

Exactly, but in the end the island was destroyed because Tsurumi people killed Ruu. The Thunder Bird only wanted to hear Ruu sing again
Mihoyo strikes again...
@@manuelcabrerizo6380 it wasn’t because the people killed Ruu, it’s because he sacrificed himself for Kapatchir.

*Deconstructed Thundering Fury Lore*
The Thunderbird soared through the thunderstorms, raining down purple thunder and rain. Ancient tribes feared its powers and thanked it for its blessings. Shamans were chosen to offer blood sacrifices to it for protection and forgiveness.
In the seasons when the Thunderbird flew amidst the stormy mountains, a young lad sang without fear. On one gloomy night, it shared a pure friendship with the lad. Attracted to his voice, the prideful Thunderbird landed by his side.
"Curious tunes, tiny human. Afraid not of thunder and storms?”
The young lad paused and answered,
"They said I can bring peace to thunder and storms.”
The Thunderbird cried but kept its silence, for his was an enchanting song.
It was the first and last meeting between the Thunderbird and the young boy.
The ancient tribe held the Thunderbird as its protector. But it rained down thunder upon the tribe. For the next he saw of the boy was when his blood filled the golden goblet on the sacrificial altar.
They made their offerings, waiting for the Thunderbird to reveal the oracles. However, what descended with the Thunderbird was the lightning of destruction.
In the last festival the tribe held, the frenzied Thunderbird blew away the bloodstained altar, the countdown to the tribe's destruction. The Thunderbird showed its true nature, wiping the tribe from the face of the earth.
The Thunderbird decimated the tribe to avenge the one who sang to it. For the transgression against the young lad who sang to it, the sentence was total obliteration.
Unbeknownst the Thunderbird, the lad himself considered his sacrifice as an offering - all for the good of the tribe... for the blessing of the Thunderbird.
_I shall sing you another tune, when you come again with thunder and rain._
Driven to madness by the remorse of a promise unkept, the Thunderbird left the mountain in cinders. It was hunted down years after, slain as a monster.
Years passed, the burned land revitalized. The story of the Thunderbird and the young lad had all but perished with the tribe.
The Thunderbird was still a monster that cared not for the worship of mankind. They knew it not, and regarded the unpredictable actions of the Thunderbird as divine revelations.
Yet thunder was its breath, as were the fates of men. From the sky, men were no different from animals... until one day, a song pierced through the roaring thunderstorm.
The song ripped through the clouds, and bestowed upon it, light.

Damn... Inazuma is real dark, we can expect it to get darker in the coming years
I'm legit crying 😔

Ruu hits differently...
In Tomo's case it's more of a sympathy to our friend Kazuha, we resonated with his feelings and intentions at that time

I can never look at those Thundering Fury Artifacts the same way anymore

But the visual effects, cinematography, and even Ruu's model movements are on par with the animated scenes. It's a huge step up from what we've gotten in world quests before. At this rate, we'll get animations for the regular world quests XD
Yup
I love how we accidentally doing hu tao's job in this island, just because a random novelist wants us to find an ancient relic.
You know, when I was reading the Thundering fury set, at the same time, I played this song, and damn I cried ;-;
The freaking audicity of pain
Two friends got separated, Ruu and Kapatcir. They both died long ago. The promise had been made, yet finally Ruu can fulfill it
I cried because even though they died, Ruu still wanted to keep his promise. this song makes me can't stand crying.
When you realize that you've been redoing the Sabseruz festival Samsara quest for so many times, but forget most things so it wouldn't feel that long. But here Ruu is living the same event for who knows how many years.
mihoyo never fail to make me cry with the piano and violin bgm
KIMI DAYO KIMI NANDAYO
Ruu is officially my favorite NPC in the whole entire game. He's really adorable not gonna lie and his voice is soft and relaxing to listen to. I hope there will be a full version f his song so I can play it while I sleep in peace.
its sad that he had already passed away even before we met him t~t he was sacrificed and the island folks used his blood as an offering to the thunderbird, when all she wanted was to hear him sing :((( it also hurts more when the goblet in the thundering fury set was the cup they had used to store ruu's blood
i kept the feather he gave us equipped since this quest. he can travel the entirety of teyvat with us now
It's like an old friends union. Even after her death, the Thunderbird still remembers Ruu.
When I first met Ruu and knew what he was doing, I said to myself, he will be sacrificed to the thunderbird isn't he?
Funny how you can be right and wrong at the same time. Best side quest in GI (Emotionally).
the way i cried when he started singing and when the quest was over i literally didnt want to leave him😭😭😭😭😭
Ruu is the best NPC with the saddest story of all NPC in Genshin! This quest made me cry. Poor little boy.
But he and Kapatcir got to rest in peace in the end, that's just nice.
Two friends, reunited even after death.
Genshin did a good job and I think Ruu will stay in our hearts.
What happen can you summarize
From Thunder Summoner's Crown:
'Until one day a song pierced through the roaring thunderstorm.
The song ripped through the clouds, and bestowed upon it, light.'
Thats one long game you played, Mihoyo. And I loved it.
Christ, where were the writers who did this quest when Mihoyo was developing Inazuma main quest.
blame the toxic players who always demands new content or regions. they obviously rushed the archon quest to satisfy the community and beside this story has been hinted since the beginning of the game with thundering fury artifact set
@@iamthethebeginningiamtheen9555 yes it’s not the writers fault, it’s the pressure from the community that they have to released Inazuma earlier than their planning. i think this is also why they released the islands separately
At the 30 years old a game who makes you cry is very rare, when you're younger a lot of game scenes makes you sentimental, but since a lot of years i didn't cry because a game.
I dont care if Mihoyo takes his time doing content as long they continue with the quality.

Mirror Maiden: "Such a pretty song..."
I also noticed she below here 😂😂
I remember completing this quest at 2AM. Alone wearing my headphone.
The shivers and chill runs through my back. And then warm feeling burst out.
To think this game is free is somewhat unreal...
Cuz, I had to pay to watch movies only to disappoint me again and again....
Watching this is already part of my daily routine. This is still tearjerking, just like the first time I saw it.
*me when i started the quest:* mihoyo pls don't kill ruu
*mihoyo during the quest:* guess what, he's already dead
i will never recover from this quest
and exploring this island will be painful 💀
this had me fukcing bawling and sobbing in my room
For some reason this song (which is potentially AMAZING) reminded me of the Dragon Spine song, Genshin every day surpassing himself with his sonic songs, even though the song doesn't have a lyric per se.
Even though the song doesn't have lyrics in itself, only yours still sounds incredibly beautiful
Funnily enough, the first half of Ruu’s song has the same basic harmonic structure as Moonlike Smile from Dragonspine. It goes to show you how Yu-Peng Chen can make two pieces from a similar framework and still make them sound distinctive and recognizable
This is the saddest yet best quest storyline in Inazuma for me. That baby deserved so much better 😭😭😭😭😭
Glad he got to fulfill his promise to Kapatcir in the end ❤
I was so pissed that the clouds were coming back over and over. But now I feel like I haven't had enough
INAZUMA REALLY IS THE BEST REGION FOR NOW!! In terms of visual environment, diverse nature, cool mobs (Samurai, Ronin, Tsurumi Wolves), archon quest, story quest (especially: Ayaka & Yoimiya), world quest, lore, and character development. Change my mind!
archon quest sucks. otherwise 100/100
i give the whole region 75/100 cuz archon quest and raiden becomes an iffy character
@@vino-k5650 yeah it's debatable. But for me, Inazuma still my favorite overall even tho' the archon quest plot is sucks, it has many political conflict that makes the story interesting and there are so many action there clashing between 3 faction (the Shogunate, the Resistance, and the Fatui). Just bad at the execution
@@Isyida7 agree!!! i enjoy inazuma world quest, music and exploration the most :))) looking forward to sumeru. hope the history wont repeat itself
@@vino-k5650 Yeah, can't wait for Sumeru 🔥
For me Liyue's main story is still the best, Inazuma one has no definitive conclusion and everything suddenly stop with no consequences, at the end of the day Baal doesn't show any charcter development after realizing her mistakes and just return to her "bubble" again. For visual Mondstadt is still winning, Inazuma is pretty but its color palette really hurt my eyes and I often need some break in the mid of quest because I felt a little sick if I play too long. But for world quest story wise, I agree Inazuma has the best.
The fact you also brought klee in this quest. My heart..
rewatching this.. now that i think about it.. it’s a good thing that there’s no voicelines.. or else my heart will break even in my dreams. it’s so haunting 😭
i was strong but the singing you had me crying, bro HOW FIRST TEPPAI NOW RUU WHAT IS THIS "EMOTIONAL DAMAGE ISLAND?"
This is by far the best boy in the game TwT
Why Mihoyo not making him playable? T^T
A 5 star character unable to fight. MHY is going out of bussiness real quick. Lol
Whales won’t pay for that

why you sound like someone else?
you sound familiar hmm
@@Kleexuni'm about to end this man's whole career
@@lin808 not sure if that is a guy/girl/attack helicopter tho
@@Kleexun Yeah but that sentence is taken from a meme.
Honestly, i literally crying my heart out with this story quest, for me now shall be my favorite..
Its stories like these that makes genshin so beautiful 😢
I actually heard this song after completing trying to unlock a domain north of Tsurumi before Ruu singing it.
the feels in this scene really brings a tear in my eye
0:20 Fatui Mage just chillin there doe.
"The story quest can't hurt you"
The story quest:
this one just hits different mate. this was even more beautiful than the sakura blossom quest. or the neko quest.
It started as an quest to find as source material for an novel, and the end, i cried thinkin of ruu, one of the best story after kazari!
Sayu is making jokes again
SHe has cut some onions and leave them around here (lays down in fetal position and cries)
This questline better than archon quest. RIP Ruu till we meet again 😭
i like to think that ruu didn't actually die, he's just sleeping for now and one day he'll have enough energy to travel with us. give me more of that copium now
i got goosebumps when i heared him sing this song... and i did this quest with my friends its so memorable
Ruu, you may be gone but you’re always alive inside our hearts forever ❤️💕
This quest is just.... perfection i literally cried 😭😭 (+ kazari's quest)
Kids are normally so hard to like in stories but Ruu is so sweet. I just rrally wanted the best for him
it sounds so calming but sad at the same time....
This quest is on par with SCR. I loved it. Makes me more angry to the ones who wrote the recent Archon Quest
I just finish this quest today ... the feels
Still crying when remembering this. 😭
Kazari, Teppei. Now Ruu. Inazuma is nothing but tearjerker. Ffs can you let someone be happy for a moment in Inazuma, Mihoyo!?
This, the Old Man and his sons in Liyue quest and The Cleansing Ritual quest made me cry so much that i couldnt even be happy when i got primogens...i was low on primogems at that time
Thankyou for record this, whenever I have a panic attack, this song calm me
I did a commission on tsurumi island and heard this as the background song... And I felt the nostalgia :'(..glad ruu can finally rest and I hope the traveler won't lose the feather as he/she promised
I can't take ruu's story it's really hearth breaking I don't know but I want to cry even though this is just a gamee
My tears dropping while im doing this quest ❤️😭
Same
Remember that Ruu's death was horrible in one of the artifact sets (the thundering storm i think is called, idk but it's one with bonuses for electro) is mentioned and in the Chinese Version one part says that they cut his tongue
this quest was so sad :(
Since nobody is mentioning it in the comments here, Ruu and Kapatcir's story/tragedy is the story mentioned in Thundering Fury's Lore, I'll quote some here.
Thundering Fury
1. Thunderbird's Mercy:
"It witnessed the total decimation of the ancient tribe.
They made their offerings, waiting for the Thunderbird to reveal the oracles.
However, what descended with the Thunderbird, was the lightning of destruction.
For the transgression against the young lad who sang to it, the sentence was total obliteration."
Straightforward enough, the flower witnessed the tsurumi island's destruction, because they had sacrificed Ruu.
2. Survivor of Catastrophe
"On one gloomy night, it shared a pure friendship with the lad.
Once it departed, the lad picked up the feather it dropped.
"I shall sing you another tune,
When you come again with thunder and rain."
Driven to madness by the remorse of a promise unkept,
The Thunderbird left the mountain in cinders.
It was hunted down years after, slain as a monster."
Here I feel like this feather is actually the one we touched in the quest where we saw Ruu's first conversation and naming of Kapatcir, and the promise he made. Also the slayer of Kapatcir mentioned here seems to be the wearer of the Thundersoother artifact set owner, separate from Ruu.
3. Hourglass of Thunder
"The Thunderbird decimated the tribe to avenge the one who sang to it.
Unbeknownst the Thunderbird, the lad himself considered his sacrifice as an offering,
All for the good of the tribe, for the blessing of the Thunderbird."
Here is where the biggest misunderstanding is at. Kapatcir believes that they had sacrificed Ruu, but in actuality, Ruu gladly sacrifice himself.
And he would gladly do it again for the next thousand of years.
4. Omen of Thunderstorm
"In the seasons when the Thunderbird flew amidst the stormy mountains, a young lad sang without fear.
Attracted to his voice, the prideful Thunderbird landed by his side.
"Curious tunes, tiny human. Afraid not of thunder and storms?
"They said I can bring peace to thunder and storms".
...
It was the first and last meeting between the Thunderbird and the young boy.
For the next she saw of the boy was when his blood filled the golden goblet on the sacrificial altar."
This is when the actual sacrifice happened. We never got to actually see Ruu sacrificing himself or how the sacrifice works, but the description here explains it just enough for us to draw our own conclusion, for a child's blood to fill the cup to the brim as quick as possible, how large of a cut do you think Ruu had to suffer, and where that cut would be? and he did it again and again for the next thousand of lightning strikes.
5. Thunder Summoner's Crown
"Until one day a song pierced through the roaring thunderstorm.
The song ripped through the clouds, and bestowed upon it, light."
It's more of a recollection of Kapatcir and Ruu's meeting again, but more about how Kapatcir changed her view of humans because of Ruu's song.
This was a really dark quest when you think about the ceremony ... but despite all that... you HAVE to admire Genshin's audio design. It's just stunning!!! This song, lantern rite ... its absolutely amazing. Bravo.
I'm not even embarrassed to admit that I cried like a little bitch when playing this quest
my deepest regret is rushing over this. zhongli is right. I solemnly vow to finish my journey without rush enjoying every single moment for the future
when i came back to the island to finish the exploration progress, the background music just change to the ost version
i nearly cried because of that
I am crying with this song is so beautiful
This quest broke me. Gave me trauma. I haven't set foot on tsurumi since i last finished the quest. I just can't make myself go.
I'm literally sobbing
I teared up on this scene. It was so beautiful
Imagine your pick a favorite ant.
Then next day the "elder ant" decided to burn your favorite ant to make you happy.😂
i am not crying!!
*Sobs* 😭🥺
For me All side quests in inazuma was way better than the main story quest idk why hahaha
Every time i see Ruu I start to cry
My precious little friend
You'll be remembered 😢
After that, we're free to rampage the abyss monsters!
The audacity of miHoYo to not dub quests like these. I still miss kazari.
After how many days... I still get teary-eyed T_T
bruh i can't hold my tear's after finishing this quest😢
Goodbye Ruu, we shall see you again
Just like kazari's quest....the song was very suit to put in kazari's quest I think
