I got Zhongli on re-run banner and when i saw his demo, i was determined. i set my goal, i got focused saving my resources to get him. since day one, he is in my party. He also changed my mindset, just as that reddit user mentioned. with his mentality, calming voice i realised a lot during these years playing Genshin and he turned me into better person with better understanding people (no joke). And of course, whenever i feel down, i watch his demo because it gives me very powerful, yet calming vibes. it is how it is, CEO of GEO
Zhonglis demo is just iconic idk its so good. Partially the reason why it has so many views is because every time a new character is released and their demo drops, loads of people go rewatch his demo. Every single time. Its to "fulfill the contract", cos Zhongli loves his contracts, so ig everyone just swore to go rewatch his every time a new one drops. Hes truly just a very well loved character both in gameplay and in general.
oh yes the CEO of GEO. And oh my god that soundtrack. But Keith Silverstein's phenomenal voice acting in particular makes this character quite unique. Visually there is still room for improvement, especially in the side profile (peanut skull). And the light/shadow ratios often look terrible in the game. As if he were wearing a chalk mask. However, I love this figure very much. Not even Neuvillette could destroy the bond. Since we only seem to get child characters and wifu's now, it's unlikely that another male character will ever make it. So yes, I'm definitely one of those people who watch this trailer every now and then and get nostalgic about the time when everything was okay in Genshin.
Since you like picking apart the animation I would suggest you check out Genshins few examples of 2D animation (not live 2D, though they are gorgeous). "Tsubaki in the Thawing Snow" Short trailer (mostly live 2D, but contains one shot of 2D animation) Sumeru Promotional video "Endless Suffering" Short Trailer (mostly live 2D, but starts off with 2D animation fight scene) "The Song Burning in the Embers" Animated Short These are the only videos I can remember that have actual 2D animation, other than the UFOTable collab, but I don't count that since it's made by different people. EDIT: I can't believe I forgot about "The Road Not Taken" Animated Short!
i really suggest watching all the character demos. maybe character teasers and story teasers too, and that includes most importantly A Winter Night's Lazzo (which i REALLY reccomend), Overture teaser: The Final Feast and Ignition Teaser: A Name Forgotten In Flames. I WOULD suggest version trailers but that would be take too much, some highlights from these tho are all x.0, x.1 and x.2 version trailers (except 1.2 and 2.2), 1.5, 3.3, 3.5, 4.6 and 4.7.
26:55 Her past is something the stories and events don't really get into ingame. The most that people know about it are from the texts in the character profile you unlock through upgrading your friendship levels. She was just an ordinary human girl (implied to be from the same ancestry or at least martial art school as Keqing) who was picking herbs in the wilderness one day when she slipped and fell off a cliff/mountaintop. She dragged herself to a nearby cave and was sitting there in pain. Some adepti and demons were fighting nearby, and accidentally caused a cave-in, which buried her under the rubble and killed her. A vision appeared right before she died and it got their attention. The adepti felt sorry for her, so they worked together to try to revive her. Their energies overflowed in her body so she went berserk until one of them had to encase her in amber. She eventually got out at least a hundred years later and was found by Baizhu, the playable pharmacist of the game. He took her in with the intent to study her special condition to find a way to achieve immortality for himself. Hu Tao harassed her all the time, trying to kidnap her and put her out of her misery. But Qiqi was insistent on staying alive and was also often rescued by Baizhu. Xiao is implied to be involved in her resurrection. The only other adeptus confirmed to be involved is an NPC called Mountain Shaper.
Hu Tao eventually apologized and promised not to bury her anymore, however QiQi never remembers Hu Tao apologizing and only remembers Hu Tao chasing her since traumatic memories are easier to retain.
I got Zhongli on his release banner and he's never left. He's my main and I adore him. I love how much he loves his people. I love how he's gone through thousands of years protecting them. I love how he's taught them, nurtured them and raised them. I love how despite 'retiring' and allowing the Qixing to take care of his beloved Liyue, he still watches over them like a proud parent. I love how he accepts change and makes sure that the Qixing constantly updates the laws of Liyue to fit the times. I love how he's always encouraging people. I love how he doesn't force others to worship him and offered them protection even if they worshipped another God (Chenyu Vale, Sal Terrae). I love how he's so patient even if people wrongly accuse him of things he's never done (Havria's quest). I love how he listens to the stories of Rex Lapis in order to remember his old friends. I love how the people of Liyue also respect and love him so much to the point where they know it's him even if he's in disguise. I love how his people had built him a mansion but he declined this gift because he wanted to be near his people. These are just the many reasons out of thousands more of why I love this man.
I actually started playing genshin way back in 2021 around version 1.5 after I saw Zhongli and Diluc's character designs, I remember my jaw literally dropping to the flooring when I saw them. Without any hesitance, I updated Genshin that was just sitting around for months on my phone without me ever playing after its release and made an account and I still play the game till date! I was lucky to get Zhongli during his next rerun and I'd only pulled a Diluc after losing my 50-50 nearly 2 years later on Yelan's banner. Needless to say, I'm still hooked to this game! Of course the game had its ups and downs and there were times when I was left so burned out or just got too busy with life, but I still keep going because i'm looking forward to the day the Teyvat chapter ends and we move on to Khaenri'ah + I rly RLYYY wanna se Dainsleif becoming a playable character!
I can highly recommend you the anniversary videos from genshin. they are not on the official channel from genshin. "Light in the abyss", "Flickering dust" and "Tales of the fatui" are the best imo, but all the other videos they have there are also very good
I loved wathing this! I hope you do more of these Genshin videos! The older videos naturally have an advantage with views since they've been out longer, but some of the newer demos and cutscenes Genshin has released have been on a next level! Please watch more!
I can't seem to resonate with the same excitement that people get when seeing Zhongli's trailer. It's really really good, but it's not for me. I guess it comes down to my mood? I don't know.
FINALLY someone that searched up the pronunciation of the names.... content creators who have been playing the game for years still say a lot of names so wrong, it's PAINFUL.
There actually WAS a touch of ambiguity in Liyue's storyline ("X senselessly slaughtered while his people watched in horror" could have had a very different meaning), it's just that at least the start of Liyue was available so quickly that nobody really had time to run with it.
12:33 You pronounced his name quite close to the correct way -- going by the culture it's based on. But in-universe it's pronounced tie-NAW-ree, which is a personal ick for me hahaha
you should watch the cutscenes from the boss battles, especially the ones against harbringers. They tend to be done pretty well and the more recent the better (traveler vs. childe, traveler vs. signora, traveler & nahida vs. scaramouche, traveler, lyney, lynette , freminet vs. arlecchino, mavuika vs. capitano)
Nope, it’s not too late to play, right now newbie player got even easier challenge lol, since they lowering their challenge level on upgrading world, gliding challenge etc. we old players got it rough lol. And there was an event that practically terrorized us in completing it (who remember that we become food delivery guy here? Lol😂) which never surfaced anymore lol. But there will be tons thing to do and if you do play, don’t rush to Natlan (current patch), that’s like you read vol two book then directly reading vol 5
literally the only one guy in the internet who didnt screamed "SWORD OUT OF T*TS". +100 points to gryffindor. Ps: u got trolled by the suggestions btw, u missed most of the best character trailers
21:25 This comment is actually a running joke that Eula is unavailable to get after her last banner for almost 2 years, so people make a joke of them never playable in the first place.
Qiqi was one of the early 5 stars I think the views were just because of the excitement surrounding the game at that time. Certainly not a great video. More like a tutorial.
There was some video of hers that was used in youtube ads. If it was the Collected Miscellany, then it would've gotten all those views too. I can't imagine why it has those numbers otherwise.
90 seconds in and had to cut it off. I hate the channels where Captain Obvious shouts out the thing that's happening on screen. My butt hole hurts as the algorithm strikes again 😂
Damn you talk aLaAwT. If you gonna talk in detail afterwards anyway, at least be focused and let that narrative, music and animation wrapped into one beautiful art sink into your heart first you %#^$* EHE. Sorry I drink too much
Qiqi's and Xiangling's videos are used as ads for the game, that's why they have very high view numbers
when a new trailer comes out,i think its tradition to go back and watch zhonglis trailer. Thats when genshin trailers started becoming peak.
This is just my opinion, Klee character trailer is when hoyoverse started experimenting with trailers. As a result, Zhongli trailer was a massive hit.
It's a contract
That beat drop? It gives me chills every time.

I have no idea what are you talking about
@@Ginto_O ?
@@Ginto_O basically whenever a new character demo drops, genshin players rewatch the zhongli demo as part of a "contact" with him.
The other demos that I would recommend is Furina, Nahida and Neuvillette✨
Arlecchino too💖🔥
i agree. but i would recommend too demo wonderer

4.1 Trailer is pretty much a must watch though. Arguably one of the best directed version trailer in Genshin.
@@FireBlueZyeah in fact i said all x.1 versions

She also got her cryo vision because she didn't want to die and for time to stop.

Poor Qiqi😔I wish she was Powerful enough so that People would actually love it when they lose 50/50 to her
you aint hiding those tabs, mr. zhongli simp.
....wait shit, aren't we all?

You should watch Wanderer trailer! I think that from an animation point of view it is peak! You really would enjoy it!
9:58 you pronounce his name right,but the game doesnt even pronounce it right themselves 😭

I started playing genshin impact 3 years ago because I saw Zhongli trailer. ❤😂

"Light in the abyss", "Flickering dust" and "Tales of the fatui" are the best imo, but all the other videos they have there are also very good
puts the “fun” in “funeral” is diabolical
He should do event cutscenes next. The Interdarshan Championship cutscene is a banger.
i WHOLEHEARTEDLY recommend watching the version trailers. if not all of them, then watch the x.0 trailers, from patches from 1-5
remember. It's never late to start playing
I loved wathing this! I hope you do more of these Genshin videos! The older videos naturally have an advantage with views since they've been out longer, but some of the newer demos and cutscenes Genshin has released have been on a next level! Please watch more!

The only event I didn’t complete is that uber eat event =“=
Waiting for HSR cutscene reaction if you'll ever do it.
WE NEED THIS
YES PLEASE
@@Thoma.supremacy He already did in his recent video. He said he's probably gonna do HSR demos next
I thought that Iansan would be more cocky but he’s such a sweetheart ❤
12:35 OMG FINALLY SOMEONE WHO LOOKED IT UP AND DOESN’T SAY TIE-NARI WHAT A GOD SEND
Sadge no Arlecchino trailer...
Even in this video, Xiangling is following us. She is inevitable.
There's no way that given enough time Arlecchino's Demo won't be up there. It's easily the best demo they've ever produced.
literally the only one guy in the internet who didnt screamed "SWORD OUT OF T*TS". +100 points to gryffindor. Ps: u got trolled by the suggestions btw, u missed most of the best character trailers
yeah some of the recs were just mean lmao, like the vid is a mixed bag of legit good vs wait what haha
I've got a hoyofair playlist of animations. They are not made by mihoyo but are instead sponsored.
"This is like tiktok edits", tt brainrot is too real 😭
yeah i am gonna watch the trailer again
for the 101th time
Zhongli, the first and last character that got buffed limited character
you should watch the character yun jins opera cut scene
Her ryoiki tenkai 😂😂😂😂
How did he even know that it isnt the same character?? I di thought it was the same at first before i played genshin
Check out Furina's character demo please
He should watch the arlecchino vids
Trivia not everyone knows:
Hutao's theme is actually inspired by the soundtrack called "April Fool" from the anime xxxHolic (by CLAMP)
I died at the zhongli review 😂
21:25 This comment is actually a running joke that Eula is unavailable to get after her last banner for almost 2 years, so people make a joke of them never playable in the first place.
NO ARLECCHINO'S TRAILER?!
I dont know if you watched it yet but...if not, please watch Winter nights lazzo.
you should react boss music of genshin ..genshin has one of the best music...for me it has the best music

1:20 booba sword :D
furina where?!!?!?
Just watch arlecchino or furina trailer everything will be better
diluc 5 star skin trailer > most of other character trailer
(i am the diluc haver dont ve mad)
my vee vutton is gone that why i use v
Genshin's videos are usually more watched due to their music than their animation
90 seconds in and had to cut it off. I hate the channels where Captain Obvious shouts out the thing that's happening on screen. My butt hole hurts as the algorithm strikes again 😂
I kinda lack of of you vids 😅
Cuss I’m watching dbz and TH-cam
Damn you talk aLaAwT. If you gonna talk in detail afterwards anyway, at least be focused and let that narrative, music and animation wrapped into one beautiful art sink into your heart first you %#^$* EHE. Sorry I drink too much
Omg you absolutely have to watch Nahida and Arlecchino demos🥹
