What trailers caught your attention, and who else would like to learn more about the Fatui Harbingers??
The 2nd lantern rite is still my favorite lantern rite, mostly because I love keqing and aside from her skin, the event quest was probably (and sadly) the closest to a keqing story quest we'll ever have. Also the ost just hits hard.
Speaking of OST, there has already been two genshin concerts for the past two years you might want to check out, Both are honestly good.
So nostalgic…It is hard to say much without risking spoilers. 'Winter Night's Lazzo' dropped on us from nowhere soon after 'Sumeru Preview Teaser 01'. We were waiting more Sumeru and suddenly we were in the icy palace witnessing a gathering of the Harbingers. It was quite an experience. The names of the Harbingers are listed in the credits of the video, so those are not a secret. There are many theories and speculations about how they rank, but we really only know a little bit. Someday their secrets will be revealed. I'm looking forward to that.
All of them struck a cord. They are fine even on their own, but in context there was more. Some of those stories were event only and lost to time, but some remain and are waiting for you. Some will be expanded on in the future….
Did you know that you just watched a clip that SPOILS the entire story of the Sumeru Archon Quest?
Bruh you take full course of spoiler here… Hope it didn't affect your playthrough throughout the game.
The Sumeru Archon Quest is honestly mindblowing. The cutszenes, the story, everything is just awesome.
Best reaction ever love you Man thank you
Did you really just spoil the entire story for yourself for this reaction video? 🙁
I guess you didn't realize the "story teasers" are the actual story cutscenes. They name them so misleadingly.
6:36 Quick note here, this event was released before Shenhe’s banner, so this was everyone’s undisclosed look at YunJin before she came out at that time.
6:45 The short breakdown of the event was that it was a cooking competition that took place a little bit before Shenhe’s banner and that year’s Lantern Rite, which gradually revealed Guoba’s past divinity as an Adeptus.
20:41 No and yes, this cutscene is tied to Yelan’s story quest, which becomes available after the interlude into The Chasm, and comes right after the next one.
25:20 These are tied to what can be described as The Golden Apple Archipelago event 2.0. With each being a capstone that each character reminisces from what the archipelago started to reflect.
32:38 If you remember the version trailer, this was essentially Albedo’s part of the event, in which he was commissioned to draw up portraits of the Kasen of the story, and as you can guess each character who narrated were models for the portraits. With events that seem to reflect the going-ons that transpired, as each had something similar happen. Though it was also a slight tease as the then-recent whereabouts of Scaramouche before Sumeru.
34:22 That realization really says it all😂.
36:54 I know right! And this was not part of the game.
41:53 By technicality yes, though that would be further telling about Raiden as well.
You should watch the house of wolves the Fatui Harbingers
There actually is one more that I think you missed. The "teyvat travail" trailer. personally I put it one step below lazzo, it's just good and gets better with every re-watch since it gains more meaning the further you get into the story.
While the title on the official video does have a spoiler warning, the trailer actually came out a few days before the game came out and is more of a roadmap for the future of the story than anything actually spoilery. Just a few character designs for characters that are still years from being released, and the names of future regions.
i'm a 33 y.o dude riding a train going to work… and i'm holding my tears watching these again. what a wonderful game.
As much as I love your reactions, I would have left all of these unwatched due to the fact that they’re actually kinda major spoilers, being scenes in-game, buuuuuutttt like you say…more to look forward to and it’ll make sense in the grand scheme of things. However, the Nahida and Sabzeruz, and anything Sumeru-related you REALLY probably should not have watched 😆.
P.S. Golden Apple Archipelago from 2.8 remains to be one of my favorite events of all time. You would have never expected Kazuha, Xinyan, Fischl, and Mona to come together as a collective, but it worked SO WELL with their 4 backstories.
watching you…there's sudden rain…..in my eyes TT_TT, genshin so beautiful man TT_TT i love this game so much
The Dance Of Sabzeruz custscene all I can tell you is that you'll probably be crying alot and angry at some points
Here is some information regarding which Teasers are still in game and which were event only. I also listed the name of the events they came from. There is also one event only cutscene you missed from the 1.1 Unreconciled Stars event. If you just want to watch the cutscene it is available on Youtube from The Gaming Library and is called "Leonard Cutscene".
ALSO Genshin Impact has its own Manga. I haven't read it yet but apparently it contains VERY important lore for Kaeya and Collei as well as some other characters. It may not be the best think to make a video out of but I still highly recommend you read it as this information is pretty much never brought up in game.
If you would like to know more about the event only stories there are summary videos on Youtube. I recommend watching Catwithbluehat, they have a lot of compilations/cliffnotes version of these events and their stories as well as any important lore bits the events contained, if you are interested.
Event Only Cutscenes: (These are in no particular order)
1: Flavors of the world (The Moonchase Festival)
2: Age of flowing hues (Second Lantern Rite)
3: Golden Midsummer (Second Golden Apple Archipelago Summer event)
4: Tale of Five Kasen (Irodori Festival)
5: The Wind Returns for Fairbrew (Of Ballads and Brews)
6: Akitsu Haneasobi (Akitsu Kinodameshi)
7: Echoes of the Heart (The Exquisite Night Chimes; Third Lantern Rite)
8: A Brilliant Banquet of Music (Also from The Exquisite Night Chimes)
Cutscenes that were NEVER in-game (only released on Youtube)
1: Tsubaki in Thawing snow (This shows how Ayaka got her vision)
2: A Winter Night's Lazzo (Our first introduction to most of the Fatui Harbingers)
Everything else you viewed is still available in game as part of the Character Stories or the Mainline quest
so I'm not the only guy who does have a soft heart. sub
You might be surprised that Hoyo would put spoiler videos in there but I've read Japanese magazines that would have articles that spoil major plot points in an upcoming movie leaving only the ending under wraps so this could be a Japanese or an Asian thing. It's good to know that watching the videos didn't dampen your enthusiasm. The good thing is that major spoilers were few and that many (maybe half?) of the videos were from limited time events so it wasn't too bad.
Akitsu Haneasobi was a limited time event and it does have a happy ending; it turns out the son (and his descendants) of the samurai befriends the Yokai and carries on the friendly rivalry since.
One of my favorites is Flavors of the World. Not only did it tease Yunjin before her release but also Streetward Rambler (featured in Echoes of the Heart) although it's uncertain if Streetward will be a playable or not. Probably my top fav is First Sage of Buer; it was definitely an epic moment and definitely better appreciated at that moment in the archon quest.
You should've not watched some of them, it was crucial spoilers huhuhu. But ig if that's fine for u :<<
Man, the Lantern Rite cutscenes never fail to evoke the most emotional response. Crying is a completely normal response to that.
All these story teasers are much more impactful when you understand the context. They hit you right in the feels.
Vaya manera de spoilearse XD
Let me tell you Wiz you're truly a fantastic and amazing person and your reactions brings happiness to us all my dude for someone like myself who lacks genshin impact knowledge seeing you react is truly awesome and inspiring keep it up!
I would tell you about the Nahida part but you're not wrong but also not right either
Edit: Madame Ping is Streetward Rambler and the one who was telling the story was Cloud Retainer
Believe me when I say you aren't the only one who got teary eyed during the Lantern Rite cutscene! Lantern Rite is always so special to me, it always brings me to tears every year lol
Best reaction, don't cry) hehe
so many major spoilers that spoil the main story😭 but if ur fine with it thats good, hopefully u will still be hyped to see the same cutscenes in the game itself, loved ur reaction
I just want to say don't take everything at face value, im not gonna spoil but just cuz they have the same headset or similar hair colors DOES NOT mean theyre related
Didn't you miss the trailer named "Travail" ?
i wonder if you gonna react to some genshin concerts? definitely check out Genshin Impact concert 2021 and Genshin Impact 2022!
well first 2 lantern rites made me really cry and its beautiful. Lantern rite today made me happy too 🙂
Thats some huge spoilers right there
I really love your reaction on the Lantern Rite cutscene and it’s one of my favorite cutscenes. When you cried I felt the emotion again when I first saw it and thank you for making me feel it again. Loving the content on your channel ❤️ Genshin Impactis is beautiful as always when I started playing it.
Wow.
