What makes Genshin Impact’s world and lore so interesting and different? I asked lore creator and YouTuber Ashikai to share her perspective on Genshin’s lore and how she creates theories and story predictions. Ashikai also talks about her process as a writer and video maker, what she would change about Genshin’s lore, and video game storytelling. #GenshinImpact #SevyTalks #Hoyoverse

The Pari was easy, Aranyaka was hardcore mode.
Ashikai is like me fr 😭 I have a degree on computer science but my true passion is art and writing stories hahahah. I’m currently in the making of my own webcomic 😂
I want to play Honkain but my phone storage won't let me, 😅
Ah!!! my favorite genshin content creators!!!
Can relate with Ashikai's "games helped with my history", unironically Fate Grand Order made literature and important figures so much more memorable and easier to learn lmao
Thanks sevyplays for introducing me to such a good genshin lore utuber.
great crossover of good and diverse genshin content! looking forward to 2nd edition.
Oh my that hour went by way too fast. Thank you that was a lovely interview!
Ashikai rly that modern day Mrs frizzle
this is the best thing to have ever happened
Ooo genshin podcast!? This is amazing
I really love this. I love ashikai for her content and it really helps with actually caring about genshin since from the first podcast topic the burnout is very real. seeing the lore gives some fuel to it. I actually was going to quit genshin since I really disliked how the game was going but her lore vids made me care and Sumeru and her theories made me interested. Without her I wouldn't even care about fontaine to be honest.
Honestly, the worldbuilding is what keeps me hooked on this game. I started in 1.3 and I remember my ex scoffing at me reading all the artifact descriptions but like, how could I not?? It's been so rewarding to stick with, and I've learned so much – not just from watching Ashi's videos, but from doing my own research as well. Diving into some aspect of the game and learning about it and figuring out some theories (some of which are flat out wrong but hey, that's half the fun) is a huge appeal to me. The archaeology analogy is so apt.
It's also so nice to see two of my favourite Genshin creators do a video like this together, this is such a fresh idea. I appreciate you both so much ❤️
The pics for artifact stories is an awesome idea
I nominate Ashikai as the Vahumana Sage.
OMG MY TWO FAVORITE GENSHIN CONTENT CREATORS!!!! SENDING YOU BOTH SO MUCH LOVE!!!!!!
Omg now that she said it… Ashikai IS miss Frizzle… That makes a lot of sense
Waaaaah, my two favorite CCs on Genshin in the same podcast. Wheeeee! This was so fun to listen to!!
Damn Ashikai has a computerr science degree, hello felow student.
That's probably why I don't really like the honkai series.
fantasy theme but too basic.
just like other fantasy games, we just wait when the character gets strong, dies and fights the final boss which I always find in every fantasy game. not bad just boring.
Great episode, Sevy! I can't wait for the next episode. I ❤ Jenny Yokobori's work!
You gotta get zyox
This is a dream come true!!
This is making me want to create a 2nd account just so I can try and piece things together from the beginning.
More than anything I want Hoyo to release a full "everything" Genshin game once its run is over.
my current idea for the burning irminsul tree is that it references how the greater lord was deleted. given the greater lord was the avatar and burning things has some ties to cleansing things it would make sense in my mind.
47:00 yes!!!! videogames have their own way of telling stories that I just love them so much.
Why is YANFEI Here? Waaaaaa
Sevy, please try to eventually interview (Chill with) Aster and CatWithABlueHat, and HAVE THEM ALL TOGETHER SOMEDAY! WE NEED A LORE SHOWDOWN!
Okay so you, Chill With Aster, Ashikai, and The Shade Chamber AAAALLL need to get together for a podcast. My dream team, assembled.
I'm very hyped up because Sevy invites my most followed Genshin content creators… Starting with Braxophone and now Aishikai… I'm looking forward for more videos with them… I also was looking forward to IwinToLoose and Gatcha Gamer if possible… But of course when it comes to Genshin Guides and reactions Sevy comes first to my mind… More lore discussions with Aishikai… Thanks so much for this content..
Ooooh this interview was so Goooood! Not only because I got to know more about one of my favorite lore theorists, but actually enjoy 2 people with a different approach to the game having a rich conversation 🤩
Thank you for this Sevy (this podcast format is great) and thank you for your F2P spyral abyss guides: they gave me confidence to build my teams 😃
Wow! I was so exited for this podcast since I hear of it in the previous one. Thank you so much for this collaboration. I really love the content of both of you. 👏
please keep this up it is great !
I didnt realize it was an hour already. That was so much fun to listen to! Looking forward to hear Jenny on the next episode!!
It's so nice to listen to Ashikai's thought process when making theory videos, or just listen to her talk about genshin outside of the scripted videos she makes
