  2. I've been toying with the idea recently that Celestia makes Visions from the remains of the Primorgial One and/or its shades. Delusions using lesser gods would explain why they aren't as stable.

  3. Your videos are getting better and better editing wise! (it was great before already, but it turned even better) But additionally when you talked about the delusions, I got excited for Sumeru again cause what if we get to know there or what if it's the main issue there like dvalin going rogue in Monstadt or the visionhunt degree! :0

  4. since the recent quest with dainsleif and chasm, I started to wonder: "What would happen if someone cursed with Immortality, similarly to people of Khaenriah would use the delusion used by Watatsumi soldiers?" Would the Delusion slow down the curse or would the Delusion kill its user before the curse takes full effect, or would it create a situation where someone uses a delusion without any side effects

  5. Is there any explanation in either the manga or the game as to how Diluc managed to use a Delusion for years without suffering even one grey hair or wrinkle? If my memory serves me, he temporarily surrendered his Vision when he told the Knights to kiss his ass, and then went off being the Punisher for a few years armed only with the very Delusion that killed his father.

    If grief, survivor's guilt, and major depression are all it takes to survive a Delusion, then I want a Dendro Delusion right now to grow my own medicinal herbs. I'm sure it's not that simple, of course, but Diluc is such an anomaly in this aspect.

  6. Great analysis on Delusions in contrast to Visions. I think there might be a 3rd category of elemental power from the Abyss. Abyss Heralds and Lectors have a much stronger source of elemental power than Fatui delusion wielders and probably most vision holders. Evidenced by their variety of elemental attacks and ability to gain an elemental shield at the brink of death. I wonder if a Delusion is a replica of the Abyss power since all Heralds so far also have the ability to transform during their boss fights.

  7. I know it sounds crazy, but i have this theory: the city floating in the sky was khaenriah and celestia, but now its empty, the gods live even more above it. I think that originally it was celestia but somehow it was conquered by khaenriah, ending on the last coffin's nail of the gods and decided to destroy it (yet it still functioned, wasnt erased from the sky). This can explain why the hell does the brother's memory (or sister depending who you choose) seem like its a different thing, i mean, wr can even see directly the moon at the same height of "wherever" he is running in from destruction.

    At least thats what i believe, probably will be denied.

  8. Drawing a Honkai parallel here, I think delusions are the equivalent of artificial stigmata, and visions are the equivalent of "natural" stigmata. Basically artificial stigmata are made to mimic the power of "natural" stigmata and given to normal people, but it damages their bodies. "Natural" stigmata however don't seem to have any drawbacks and, more importantly in this comparison, the wielders of "natural" stigmata are very likely to ascend to becoming a Herrscher, essentially godhood. A very familiar situation with the allogenes, and I don't think people with just a delusion can ascend to godhood.

    If you're wondering why I keep refering to "natural" stigmata in such a way is because they're actually products of the previous era of Honkai and the artificial stigmata are attempts to replicate the technology.

  9. Vision uses the mind and ambition, and Delusion uses the soul and life. But, I love delusion more than vision. Why? Delusion is true, while a Vision is a lie.
    The Tsaritsa will definitely die the Himeko way.
    What delusion users hear when they use their delusion:
    "The way I go through with red roses burn my eyes

    Cold rain starts pouring hard, I'm being called upon.

    Never let you go, it's why I did them all

    For a chance at least, to live in your way

    Love of you is my most cherished thing

    So stay alive, bravely."
    Tsaritsa war with the Gods of the Old World Genshin: "PUT YOUR LIVES ON THE LINE!! BURN AWAY FOR THE SAKE OF HUMANITY!!!" Even though she's cryo. Cryo can still burn if it's too cold

  10. 4:03 I only just noticed this, but does anybody else find it strange that this Fatui field agent believes (or at least claims) that Visions are granted by the will of the gods? Because we know now that they aren't, there's 'something else' that determines who receives a Vision alongside people's own desires.

    If Ei knows this, then the Tsaritsa should know this. And if the Tsaritsa knows this, then either the high-ranking members of the Fatui, at least, know this, or the Tsaritsa withholds that knowledge from them. Which is very questionable given that many Fatuus and other characters seem very disenchanted with the gods because they envy the power that they stand to gain from being granted a Vision and which they strongly desire. So somebody's not telling the whole truth, and in a manner that is too convenient for their interests to be an accident.

  11. I love this channel. I just started playing Genshin in early 2022. (Love it, already caught up and adventure rank 54) . I got very lucky with my pulls with just gnostic hymn and the cheaper options so by no means am or ever will burn a hole in my pocket, but the Devs literally deserve the money.

    I've paid more for full games that were way worse. Like genshin adds new content on the daily sometimes. And always on the monthly.

    This channel has inspired me to start the manga and really educated me on the lore and got me even more into the World and I adore it.

    Thankyou for making content like this. Some of us are deep in the Genshin hole and it's nice to see superfans like you who know ridiculous amounts of info about the lore etc. Haha.

    Keep it up!

  12. My personal opinion was always: the bigger your will, the better your control the visions and delusions… kazuha was able to activate his friends delusion because he also owned his friends will (why he got it!!). The gods do choose by your drive. i assume they kinda have an automode on that thing 😉

  13. Wait wait wait if you're saying that Crepus obtained his Delusion from a non-Fatui black market source, did Diluc go on a four year murder quest against the Fatui on a misconception? Or was he just chasing down the only lead he had on Delusion manufacturing?
