  1. The fact that it feels like a friendly song instead of threating it's due to the narrative of Natlan. Natlan is a nation of warriors, with all its inhabitants joining forces to fight the darkness looming the world the moment it shows up. They're ready to throw hands at any given moment, and they're not afraid of sparring on their free time. All of the Natlan-exclusive enemies aren't fighting you to confront you, but to have a friendly match to test their abilities against a formidable foe and get better.

  2. It is worth mentioning that many of Natlan's open world fights are against the good guys who are just bored and take it out on you. You cannonically "kill them" and they just be like, "you're good" before making their escape.
    Friendly, hardcore competition is one of the major themes there.

  3. all of Natlan's human enemies are there just to have a fight

    If you pass by them they don't attack you but they trash talk, make provocative gestures at you and call you to fight and if you get closer only then they get ready to fight

    Fighting is in Natlan's culture so this is all a competition to get stronger and then face the real enemy

  4. This is an overworld battle theme, which in Natlan means a low stakes battle, sometimes even a "friendly" spar.

    There are different battle themes for anything high-stakes / serious (the battles which take place in the Night Kingdom for example).

  5. I have some recommendations that revolves mainly around flutes and relatively mellow compared to what you have heard so far. These pieces moved me one way or another. "Flute of Uilacapitztli" and "Whistles of Monetoo."

    Another set is a day and night version of a theme from one of the tribes in Natlan. They have a "beach vibes" to them. I personally prefer the later but you can give both a listen to contrast the day and night aspect. "Makani 'olu'olu" (day) and "The Nights' Wish" (night).

    There's some more but I think this is enough from me.

  6. The Louisiana feel might be possible since the Flower-Feather clan seems to be inspired by North American culture too. Seems like Natlan is not only Latin America and Africa, but the Ring of Fire (Pyro) and combines a lot of influences, so by the end of Natlan we will have the most varied soundtrack in Genshin.
