  6. The thing is, the glaze lilies that Madame Ping gazes upon everyday will not respawn once you collected them. It was the first flowers I picked once I got to Liyue Harbor and I always regretted it so much. But when 3.3 update happened, the flowers respawn, me taking lots of pics of it and never picking it again lest they won't ever respawn again. Now that the Lantern Rite story for this year happened, I realised the importance of 3.3 respawn of those flowers in the current storyline. Such a nice detail and also gives hope to the people like me who accidentally picked them before knowing they won't respawn.

  10. 5:51 correct me if I'm wrong but there's another area that isn't mentioned here and it's blackcliff, there is an entrance of it beneath the jade chamber but the whole area isn't opened yet

  15. I still can't get over the fact that zhongli tried ignoring the venti and block the wind but the not-so-tone-deaf tone deaf bard still managed to come 😭😭😭😭🤣🤣🤣

  16. You know… It's kinda weird that Stone Gate is described as west because Mondstat is described as North but if we look at the map, it's more of a northeast. Like the description of the Favonius library as North pretty much says it being north of Teyvat, which puts both Liyue and Sumeru in the south.

  28. On teleport waypoints, I always thought it was pretty clear that in the story they are not utilised (unless I'm missing something obvious which I could be). Their description in game to me seems more like trying to explain gameplay with lore, rather than gameplay being a part of the lore.

  31. A-Ping's phrase was taken directly from this legend, which was very heart-breaking at the moment (i'm using 3 diff. sources)

    "…Boyazi was playing the zither, and Zhong Ziqi listening. Just as Boyazi was playing, his intent lay in Tai Mountain. Zhong Ziqi said: “Well-played! Lofty and towering as Tai Mountain!” A short while later, Boyazi’s intent lay in flowing water. Zhong Ziqi spoke again: “Well-played! Surging and coursing like flowing water!” When Zhong Ziqi died, Boyazi broke his zither and cut the strings. For the rest of his life, he never played the zither again, since there were none in the world worth playing for…"

    "While sighing that there was no one left in this world who understands his music; what’s the point in playing anymore?"

    The term used is 知音 (zhiyin) – Someone who understands your music. It means that special someone who shares the same passions and interests as you (knows you deep down, understands without words, sees your soul and your tune as they are).

  32. As usual, your attention to detail always impresses me. Gosh I miss your videos, being buried in work for the last half of '22.

    I was very surprised at Guizhong's personality reveal, plus the cutscene really bugs me as to who or what defeated her, and why it seemed like (from the cutscene) Zhongli and the rest weren't there together with her during her battle. In the beginning, there were those who thought Zhongli ended her life both as a condition and result of the Archon Wars, and this was partly due to the line in a stone tablet translated by Soraya, ""…and there they fought upon the Guili Plains, where black dust choked the heavens and a thousand rocks splintered…" and the famous line from Archaic Petra, "he would show no mercy, even to friends-turned-foes."

    After seeing the cutscene, we now know for certain it wasn't the case, as Cloud Retainer narrates, "Guizhong was overpowered by the enemy". Being an optimist that she is – perhaps she volunteered to stay back and protect, while the rest headed off to defeat the raging mobs. Did Guizhong share the same fate I wonder, as that which echoes the same pattern – of how Rostam staying behind to 'hold the fort' eventually led to his death by Durin. And why is she in that position? Almost looks like she was protecting something… but what? The Bell? Or the Memory of Dust (from which her famous last words were stated)? And that which encases her – what does it look like to you? I'll leave that to your imagination.

    As to the matter of whether Guizhong was 'silenced' for discovering 'forbidden knowledge' – that perhaps we cannot say for certain – she did acquire 'evil and ancient artifacts – Ruin Machines' but isn't that just a pure interest in mechanics? Plus, I'm not sure what sort of 'forbidden knowledge' could one find in that pursuit, and if there were such things, wouldn't Sumeru scholars be silenced as well? Who knows…

    So who killed Guizhong? The only subtle scent of a trace left that I could find is what's written in the lore of the Primordial Jade Cutter:
    "When wine vessels are filled with blood, and when tender feelings are ripped asunder by cold ambition and reduced to dust on the wind, Gifts ungiven and bonds unspoken will become sharp blades with which to cleave erstwhile friends." So, who do we know has 'cold ambition' and is a 'former friend'?

    Also, the phrase 'bonds unspoken' really gets me – Zhongli and Guizhong being best friends (as suggested by Soraya), how they named the settlement they founded together, how MHY is even so poetic with their names having the first and last syllables sounding the same. Did you know there's a rare song in the game called Lover's Oath? It's the one that played when you meet Xiao at Wangshu Inn during the 'Tuned to the World's Sounds' event a long time ago – apparently many people were misled to believe that it was Guizhong's Lullaby – it does have a bittersweet melody.

    You know what's interesting? The Chinese character for Zhong (钟) in 'Zhongli' means 'bell' or 'time', whereas the 'zhong' (终) in 'Guizhong' means 'end' or 'death'. Didn't Cloud Retainer say the Cleansing Bell has a 'sad' history?

    Anyways, thanks for reading and cheers! Also Happy New Year Cat!! (I know its late but hey!)

  33. I recall one moment that Paimon had already heard that phrase from Venti or someone else, so she ended that phrase. Therefore, the statement that she is the god of time or somehow connected with it is meaningless/ Also about Zhongli changing topic – it may look like that, but he simply replied that the city was getting very busy and noisy, so with all the noise it was simply impossible to hear the wind, which I can understand. Nevertheless this video is prety interesting, thanks for work.
